Chapter 12: Shocked

The Lord of the Shang Dynasty collapsed, and the news of the new Lord’s succession spread throughout Tai Cang within three days, and the crying sound rang through the entire Tai Cang. The people spontaneously took to the streets with white lanterns to see the Lord off. Every family prayed for the great wind and hope. The gale can the ancestors to the Heavenly Court, and no longer suffer from the boundless wilderness.
　　 Ji Xia walks in Taicheng in ordinary clothes. He first ascends as the lord of the kingdom, but he has only a little knowledge of the situation in Tai and Cang. This time, Ji Qianqing and Ji Qianqing left the palace with the purpose of understanding Taicang's livelihood.
　　 In addition to him and Ji Qianqing, there is a young girl beside him. This girl is dressed in a simple gray dress, but she can't hide her beautiful appearance and beautiful figure, but her eyes are always on the road, and she does not communicate with Ji Xia and Ji Qianqing.
　　 Ji Xia looked at her awkwardly. The girl named Jing Yu was the woman who was rescued by Ji Qianqing from Ji Xia's bedroom that day.
　　 At that time, the situation was urgent, Ji Qianqing arranged for her to stay in the palace, and now the dog was defeated, and there was time to deal with the girl.
　　 Even if Ji Xia tried to deny that she did not move Jingyu a finger, Ji Qianqing's eyes still made him feel chilly.
　　 The facts are indeed as what Ji Xia said, this girl had just been taken captive by the prince and had not had time to do anything. The Tai Cangyu incident happened in the east, and the Lord Ji Shang collapsed, and the prince was kicked to death by Ji Qianqing.
Originally, Ji Xia expected Jing Yu to tell the truth and save his face as the new lord of the country. She did not expect that after she was rescued, she would never say a word, but always stared at Ji Xia with misty eyes to make him Quite uncomfortable.
　　 So Ji Xia decided to take advantage of this trip to personally send Jing Yu back, so as not to endure the "embarrassment" of the new Lord of the Country all the time.
　　 "This area is the main city of Taicheng." The street in front of him was very dilapidated, and only a dozen small stall owners were vaguely selling the things in front of him.
This is obviously abnormal. Taicheng has a population of 400,000 people. In the era of cold weapons with extremely underdeveloped transportation, it is a very terrifying number. In theory, business should be prosperous. The prosperity of society is the only way to come to Taicheng. Barren land and scarce production restrict development.
　　 Leaning on the small planting land behind Taicheng, Tai Cang has spent more than two hundred years staggering. The food was distributed by the Wang Ting, and the clothes were distributed by the Wang Ting. Even medicines after serious illnesses need to be distributed by the Wang Ting.
Ji Xia knows that this is a very sick system, but also understands that in such a difficult environment, the Royal Court of Tai Cang can only do this-Dove Dog, Zhou Qing and the two kingdoms are staring at them, and the giant beasts in the Gobi and the rain forest are waiting for Tai Cang. The Cang people sent home to have a full meal. In this situation, if the Royal Court of Tai Cang did not accept the right to control food and let the society develop, then everyone would eventually face the dilemma of no food to eat.
As the former Taicang prince, now the Lord of Taicang Kingdom, he naturally knows how incorruptible the royal court and the hundred officials of Taicang are. In Taicang, there has never been a saying that they are full of private pockets and corpse positions. They eat two meals a day. Even if it is better than ordinary people, it is also limited.
　　 Ji Qianqing watched Ji Xia silent all the way, thoughtfully, and couldn't help asking: "Now, as the Lord of the Great Blue Kingdom, what are your plans?"
Ji Xia looked at a few young children who were hungry, lying on the street to kill time, and languished, and said softly, "When the Dove Dog and the southern crocodile horn country reach an agreement for a temporary truce, they will make a comeback. Let’s talk about a great battle before the Dove Dog Kingdom is completely resolved."
Ji Qianqing nodded, knowing that the reason why the Dove Dog is silent is more to guard against the Crocodile Horn Country, which is not weaker than theirs. Once the Dove Dog is willing to sacrifice something in exchange for the Croco Horn Country’s temporary truce, Tai Cang faces Yes, it will be a terrifying blow to the whole dog.
　　 Ji Xia walked to a small house facing the street. An old man with a thin face and apathetic spirit closed his eyes and leaned on the stone pillar to rest.
　　 "Old man, is there only one person in the family?" Ji Xia suddenly asked.
　　 The sluggish old man turned his head laboriously and turned to the source of the sound. He opened his eyes, and his eyes were white. Seeing his groping movements, it is not difficult to see that this is a blind old man.
　　 He replied loudly: "The two younger generations went out to work before dawn. Now is the time to receive the goods. How can I stay at home?"
　　 "Why can't I live at home? The royal court supplies food according to the head, staying at home and going to work hard. The food you get is the same. Why do you have to work so hard?"
When the old man heard Ji Xia's words, his face suddenly became gloomy, and his expression persisted: "Which child are you from? Why are you so ignorant? I've been working hard for hundreds of years to support my country. , If everyone has the same hateful thoughts as you, I would have been eaten by those dogs and monkeys a long time ago."
"The soldiers are working hard for Tai Cang, and the daughters are breeding the children and grandchildren of Tai Cang, and constantly replenishing the strength of the Tai Cang army. Young people who live at home and don't have outstanding spiritual talents naturally have to take care of the lifeline of the land. What's wrong? "
"And we old people, it's best to die quickly, so as not to drag down the country's lord, the soldiers, and the too much. UU reading www.uukanshu.com, unfortunately, I am not sick and disaster-free, and the previous country's lord explicitly forbids the elderly from suicide... …"
　　 When the old man talked about the former country master, two tears flowed from his muddy eyes: "Shang Guozhu has been too troubled all his life. Now that he has gone, it is a good thing. Don't worry about us old people."
　　 Ji Xia silently listened to the old man’s words, and an unspeakable feeling came to his heart, he asked: "Why can all Taicang people make such a dedication to Taicang?"
　　 "Tai Cang is our home country!" The old man murmured: "This land was opened up by the sages with one sword. We have lived here since we were young. There is no place to accept us except for the vastness of the world."
"And how can it be said that we are dedicated to Tai Cang? Everything we do is not so noble, we are saving lives! Just like the daughters in the family suffering from pregnancy in October, it is not that they want, but can only this way!"
"Without heirs, the number of people born cannot keep up with the number of people who die, so what awaits is that everyone will be eaten by life, or be cut to people for fun by the animals! Compared with these, the pain of fighting for life, the pain of labor, What is the pain of pregnancy?"
　　 Ji Xia took a deep breath and silently stroked his chest to salute the old man, straightened his waist, and continued to walk forward.
　　 Jingyu looked at Ji Xia without saying a word. As an ordinary people from the bottom of the Taicang Kingdom, she could clearly see some strange emotions in the eyes of the new country lord who she originally hated.
　　 He is shaking, he is moving, he is pitying, he is making up his mind.
Ji Qianqing watched this scene, her eyes seemed to ignite vigorous hope, her long skirt supported her more and more beautifully, she walked behind Ji Xia a few steps, and whispered: "Lord, the front is Nanqing Street, Jing Yu 'S home is coming soon."
