Chapter 3101 Shameless Request
Lord Shang personally received the guardians of the sacred tree, and there were two Mahayana and county staff from the Shang family who were responsible for accompanying and receiving the guardians of the imperial family.
Although Princess Xin Shu has been rectified and Prince Xin has also been punished, one code is the same. Ning County is the territory of the Xinhe Empire. They are the people of the empire. No matter how unhappy they are, they still have to show dignity to the royal guardians of the empire.
The guardian of the sacred tree has a noble status, and no one dares to compete with it. When the fairy comes to Ning County, it is natural for Lord Shang, as the county magistrate, to entertain the fairy first. Not to mention that Prince Xin and the royal guardians dare not make irresponsible remarks. , even the emperor of the empire did not dare to say a word when he was present.
Huang Chamberlain and the royal family gave Prince Xin a handful of elixirs when they picked him up, and sent the prince to Ruyi House to recuperate. They did not dare to enter the county governor's house until Lord Shang led the guardian of the sacred tree into the county governor's house. The door, they walked in.
The Sheriff's Mansion is very wide and is divided into fifteen roads. The middle road in the middle is the main building of the Sheriff's Mansion. There are five buildings in the courtyard. Enter the courtyard from the five-room gate with three lights and two darks. After passing the Yimen, you will reach the county. The main hall of the Shoufu.
The chief of a county is called a county governor, also called a county king, and his position is the same as the county king. The main building of the county government office is not called a mansion or a hall, but has palace-level specifications.
Yunlan is vast, and the territories and customs of humans and beasts are different. Each empire also has its own system and code, but they all have the same purpose.
The buildings of each empire also have strict systems. The human race's imperial palace basically has nine eaves, the prince level has seven eaves, and the prince's and the governor's mansion of each county have five eaves.
The main buildings of the superb Duke's Palace, General's Palace and Prime Minister's Palace also have five eaves.
The main building of each government office and the residence of a first-rank court official can only have triple eaves. The residences of county and town houses and other court officials can only have double eaves at most. In addition, there are restrictions on the size of the door and the number of door leaves. the difference.
The number of rooms in the main buildings of the Royal Palace, the Prince's Palace, and the Sheriff's Palace also has specifications and grades.
The main hall of the Ning County Sheriff's Mansion is twenty-one rooms wide, with a total of seven rooms connected to the front and rear colonnades in the depth direction. It has a raised beam structure, a five-story verandah roof with double eaves, and the main hall houses have painted railings and carved eaves, which are magnificent.
On the left and right of the main hall, there are ear halls with a width of nine rooms. The ear halls are more than 20 feet away from the main hall, and are connected to the main hall by a long corridor.
The east and west side halls are each seventeen bays wide, and the south and north side halls are each seven bays wide. The square atrium surrounded by the main hall and the side halls is paved with bluestone bricks.
There is a podium behind the side hall, which runs from the south wall of the gate all the way to the back wall of the fifth apse.
The main palace area is where the prince and his staff handle official business. The main palace of the governor's palace in each county of the Xinhe Empire has a unified name - "Qin'an Hall".
The main hall of the third entrance hall behind Qin'an Hall is a triple-eaves main hall, with a width of 17 rooms and five ear halls from east to west.
The east and west auxiliary halls are each eleven rooms wide, and the south and north side halls are each attached with five rooms wide.
The main hall of the third main hall is called "Yin'an Hall". Every year, sealing or opening of seals, blessings, new county governor's appointment ceremony, etc. are all held in the main hall of the third main hall.
When the princes and officials encountered official matters that required the participation of counties, cities or monk families, they would also receive/meet with people from all parties in the side hall or main hall of the third hall, or conduct some internal official discussions in the third hall.
The main hall of the fourth entrance is thirteen rooms wide, with five east and west ear halls each, eleven east and west side halls, and three ear halls each in the north and south.
The fifth main hall is the apse. The rules of the main hall and side halls are the same as those of the fourth main hall.
The fourth and fifth halls are the guest courtyards used by the county governor to entertain visiting officials at the county level and imperial officials and royal family during their inspections.
Under normal circumstances, county-level officials or court officials generally live in the back hall. If they are court officials or members of the royal family who represent the monarch, they will live in the fourth hall.
Prince Xin was patrolling the city on behalf of the monarch, and the group came to the Sheriff's Mansion in Ning County and temporarily stayed in the fourth hall.
In addition to the main palace area in the middle road, there are seven east and west roads, which are important places such as the grain warehouse, bank warehouse, equipment warehouse, classics courtyard, prison room, county governor's office canteen, etc.
These areas all belong to the front area of the County Sheriff's Mansion. There is a passage between the back wall of the front area and the back area. The back area is the residential area for the families of the County Sheriff's Mansion officials.
The layout of the Sheriff's Mansion is very orderly, and you can see everything clearly at a glance from a high altitude.
The first courtyard of the Sheriff's Mansion is slightly narrower, with a cross road in the middle. There is a door on the east and west walls leading to the podium at the back. A narrow passage is formed between the east and west walls and the podium.
Huang Naijian and the royal family hurriedly entered the Sheriff's Mansion, walked west through the door on the west wall, walked around the main hall along the corridor, and then went to the main hall at the rear of the Sheriff's Mansion to entertain the prince and princess.
Le Yun took a look at the general layout of the Sheriff's Mansion from the air. She was not interested in visiting the entire Sheriff's Mansion. She entered the Yimen, walked straight along the atrium, then climbed the steps to the eaves of the main hall, turned around and looked at the atrium in front of the palace.
The atrium is as wide as a square and can accommodate tens of thousands of people. If a banquet is held in the atrium, it is still more than enough to place 6,000 tables for ten people.
After testing the area of the square, Leyun pointed to each corner and asked the Shang monks to place the talismans or talismans for the formation.
Shang Junjun led the monks from his family to find the angle and exact location pointed out by the fairy, placed the talisman and talismans, and circled almost one-eighth of the total floor area.
After setting up the purification array, Shang Mahayana washed Princess Xin Shu's three storage containers with clean water before taking the contents out to dry.
Princess Xin Shu's three storage items are a bracelet and two rings. The bracelet is three thousand feet wide, and the ring is one thousand feet wide inside and one hundred feet wide inside.
In secular empires or Immortal Cultivation families, storage devices are also important cultivation resources, and large storage devices are even rarer resources. The private storage devices of monarchs or family heads rarely exceed 30,000 feet.
For most of the monks from the aristocratic families, only the Yuanying monks with good qualifications can get the household objects that are thousands of feet wide.
If you want to have a storage device with a larger space, then work hard to accumulate spiritual stones yourself, and then when you have the opportunity, you can buy it from a refiner or a store that sells magic weapons.
Generally speaking, only magic weapon shops in large cities at the county level may have storage containers exceeding 1,000 feet. There are very few magic weapon shops in prefecture and county-level places that sell storage devices. If there are, they must be small ones within 50 feet. objects.
Even if the kings or royal families of certain empires appear to be prosperous, they actually lack training resources and the competition within the royal family is very fierce.
Princess Xin Shu actually has a storage container three thousand feet wide and one thousand feet wide, which shows that her status in the royal family is extremely high.
Moreover, her supplies are very disorganized. The Mahayana Shang family moved the items out of the storage containers and stacked them in piles. There were about 80,000 pieces of the best silk and satin from various places as tribute, 900 boxes of gorgeous and exquisite brocade clothes, and 500 boxes/boxes of shoes. Socks, jewelry, headdress, and accessories.
There are more than 3,000 boxes of fine pearls, gems and the Four Treasures of the Study.
Various types of concentrates used for refining weapons were piled into more than fifty hills. There were about 8,000 boxes of the best quality tribute fruits and spiritual plants from all over the empire, more than a hundred magic weapons, and more than 40 boxes of talismans and talisman-making materials.
There are also some ingredients, one hundred and fifty boxes of spirit fish, more than 200 spiritual beasts, and fifty fifth to seventh level monsters, including three seventh-level monsters.
Princess Xin Shu also has a large number of spiritual stones and jade, the most indispensable cultivation resources for monks. There are about 130,000 pieces of various kinds of spiritual jade, about 80,000 low-grade spiritual stones, more than 10,000 medium-grade spiritual stones, and more than 100 pieces. A top-grade spiritual stone and fifty thousand spiritual beads.
There are also more than 2,800 boxes of books, calligraphy and paintings, fans, various ornamental carvings, porcelain, clothes and other miscellaneous things that are considered high-quality items in the secular world.
A large number of items were transferred from the storage containers, crowding the ground circled for the purification talisman array.
The monks of the Shang family, as well as some government servants and attendants who had returned to the county governor's mansion in advance to perform their duties and were on duty at their posts, also saw the items on the floor, and they were all dumbfounded.
Princess Xin Shu is so rich!
A princess like her has so many resources, the empire is so rich!
But the royal family of the empire is obviously so rich, why does the monarch often send envoys to Ning County to cry out for poverty, buy a large amount of grain from Ning County, and never pay the grain payment?
There were a few minor officials who were on duty at the Sheriff's Mansion. Because they had to guard the palace of the Sheriff's Mansion, they did not go out to watch the excitement. It was not until the Commander-in-Chief accompanied the Guardian Fairy of the Sacred Tree into the main palace area that he went to the gate to greet him. I couldn’t help it anymore.
"The monarch has so many spiritual stones to reward the princess. Why do the envoys who come to Ning County always say that the treasury has no money, and they are in arrears every ten days when they come to Ning County to transport grain?"
"That is, the emperor comes to Ning County every ten years in the name of the empire to ask for food. He never pays for food and money. He owes him time and time again. I don’t know how many hundreds of years he has been delayed."
"Ning County has a lot of taxes. In addition to taxes and grain, we also need to borrow grain. It seems that our Ning County is an inexhaustible money storehouse and grain storehouse."
"There are obviously a lot of resources to reward the princess, but there is no money to pay for food and silver. It is too much to bully the people!"
The petty officials became more and more angry as they talked. Ningjun is also the territory of the empire. If the monarch exploits Ningjun in this way, does he still think that the people of Ningjun are subjects of the empire?
The minor officials wanted to complain indirectly to the fairy, but Shang Junjun couldn't bear to scold him and apologized guiltily: "This county also knows that everyone feels aggrieved. It is because this county and the Shang family are incompetent and not good at flattery. In the empire, there is no one." The courtiers spoke for the county, which made Ningjun become a thorn in the side of the courtiers."
"Jun Jun, we are not aggrieved. The most aggrieved person is you!"
"Jun Jun, you are the best Jun Jun. Under the governance of you and the previous Jun Juns of the Shang family, Ning County has prospered and prospered in Chang'an for a long time, and all the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
The minor officials and government officials also complained about the county prince. The most aggrieved person was the county prince. The royal envoys came to ask for tax money and grain. It was the county prince who was always working around, trying to keep the amount of rice "sold" to the empire as low as possible. Reduce losses.
Are you aggrieved, Mr. Shangjun?
Of course he was aggrieved, more aggrieved than anyone else, but there was no place for him to express his grievances.
As a county magistrate, no matter how angry he was, Shang Junjun had to endure it and try his best to deal with the courtiers, not to gain benefits for Ningjun, but to reduce the losses of the people.
Princess Xin Shu's resources were all exposed to the sun. Le Yun threw a few talismans into the air to shine on the items. When she heard the conversation between Lord Shang and the officials, she could not pretend to be deaf and dumb: "The Xinhe Empire owes Ning How many years of food and silver does the county have? ”
Shangjun smiled bitterly: "The imperial capital is also afraid that they will not pay for food so that Ningjun will have an excuse not to pay for food. They pay for food every eight or ninety times, and these zeros will always add up." Up, I owe about two hundred and fifty-sixty times of food and silver, which amounts to at least a billion spiritual stones.”
"A bunch of stinky and shameless things, they eat and take the people's rice for free. If they don't get struck by lightning, they will have no descendants!" Le Yun couldn't help but cursed, and gave a very kind suggestion:
"It is natural to pay back debts. In the future, whether the monarch comes in person or the courtiers come to buy grain, let them pay the arrears of grain and silver first before talking about anything else.
If they pay the grain and silver honestly, don't coddle them when doing business again. Let them pay the grain and silver first, and then you will give them the corresponding amount of rice and grain according to the grain and silver.
If the king of Xin Heguo is dissatisfied, he should come to this fairy in person to argue.
This fairy travels across the continent, following the rules of paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other. She never dares to violate the principles of buying and selling. How can the Xin royal family and courtiers have the confidence to defraud the people of their food?
They were just lucky enough not to run into me. If they did, even if they had nine lives, they wouldn't be able to chop off their heads. ”
The petty officials and government officials were so surprised that they hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you Fairy for upholding justice in Ning County! On behalf of the people of Ning County, I would like to thank the Fairy for your kindness! The Fairy's kindness will be unforgettable for you!"
< br>
"No need to salute, just get up." Le Yun asked again: "When Prince Xin Heguo came to Ningcheng this time, did he ask for rice for free?"
The petty officials and government officials remained silent. The empire would send envoys to ask for food every ten or twelve years. This time the prince and princess came, how could they not take the opportunity to rob them!
Lord Shang took a deep breath and said, "I dare not deceive the fairy. On the first day he came to Ningcheng, Prince Xin announced the monarch's will and asked Ningjun to collect 80% of this year's autumn grain and pay tribute."
Several petty officials and government officials suddenly changed their minds. The empire wants 80% of Ning County's autumn grain? This is not asking for food, it is clearly asking for the lives of the people of Ning County!
"What a shameless and stupid king!" Le Yun burst out with anger and shouted: "The royal family of the Xin family, the inner prisoner, bring Prince Xin and come here to see this fairy!"
Food is the most important thing for the people.
No matter where you are, food is the lifeblood of the people. Even in Earth's modern technological society, farmers who mainly focus on agriculture must leave enough rations before selling food every year.
The land in Yunlan is fertile and the grain yield is high, but the people are tall and eat a lot. The food intake of an adult man is about half to twice that of an adult man on earth.
The people in Yunlan Realm who make a living by farming have to pay food taxes on the food they grow. After paying the tax, their own members have to keep at least 50% for themselves as food rations, and sell at most half.
The king of the Xinhe Empire asked the people of Ning County to hand over 80% of the food, but he didn't care about the lives of the people. It was so shameless!
As a farmer's child herself, Le Yun knew the importance of food to farmers. After hearing King Xinhe's shameless request, she wanted to kill the Hun King.
