In fact, Mohs has helped a lot in the past few years.
It is precisely because of their existence that the Lu family has basically sorted out the situation of the entire court in the past few years, and formulated many policies and pushed them forward.
Except for the reduction of redundant officials, the reduction of local garrisons, and construction expenditures, except for the restoration of Pingju's armaments, the rest have basically stopped. So far, the expenditure of the dynasty has been greatly reduced in a few years.
At the same time, due to the control of localities, during this period of time, through the efforts of all parties, the taxation and industrial income that should be obtained are also in place.
In the first and second years, the Lu family had to give blood to the imperial court from Feiyun Prefecture. It was a bitter life, and the rebuilding of the Forbidden Army was also delayed. Moreover, the North Territory was also affected by the disaster of the white ghost traveling south, and it was originally difficult.
In the past two years, the Lu family has been tight.
However, by the third year, the imperial court will basically be able to balance its revenues and expenditures; in the fourth and fifth years, it will not only balance revenues and expenditures, but also have a surplus.
This surplus can even be used to feed the Lu family.
In fact, the Lu family is already quite wealthy. All kinds of industries have been developed vigorously. The two major industrial lines of refining and alchemy have almost the highest production capacity in Feiyun Prefecture. Moreover, after the Northern Desolate Forest Demon Clan to the west and north were destroyed, the Lu Family was still leading the development and exploration of the entire Feiyun Prefecture in the northwest.
In this regard, there have actually been some results.
Originally, Anling County was a county in the northwestern corner of Feiyun Prefecture, but now it is not.
A newly established Shenlu County became the fifth county in Feiyun Prefecture.
The planned land area of ​​Shenlu County is the largest, even half the size of the original Feiyun Prefecture. Of course, despite the name, most of the land in Shenlu County now appears to be wasteland, with no people at all.
This matter has actually been done a long time ago. However, in the past, the development of Shenlu County was mainly carried out by Feiyun Prefecture itself. The Lu family led the matter and mobilized the major families in Anling County to explore and dig industries; migrate mortals and take root on the spot; dispatch monks to guard the results...
But this process is somewhat slow.
In the last five years, after the court had spare capacity, it began to increase its investment in Shenlu County.
In the plan, if the development of Shenlu County is achieved in the next few decades, the entire Feiyun Prefecture will benefit from it. The current Feiyun Prefecture, among the seven states of Yan State, is the second-to-last in terms of prosperity and resource output. But when the Shenlu Forest is well developed, the prosperity is hard to say, at least the resource output will be greatly increased, and the benefits will at least not be worse than Jinzhou.
Of course, this increase in income has little to do with the court, and it will become the income of the Lu family.
But this is the world. The income of the Lu family, in a sense, can be regarded as the inner treasury of the Dayan Dynasty. Of course it is separate from the national treasury, mainly for the royal family, but when the country needs it, it is not impossible to take it out for emergency.
To put it bluntly, one thing is certain for the Lu Family to become the Dayan imperial clan: They strengthen themselves as a national clan, and lead the Yan Kingdom to become stronger by the way, not the other way around.
The Lu family did not come to work for Yan Guo, nor did they consider using his own blood to make up for Yan Guo. This can be done if necessary in the short-term, but it is definitely impossible in the long-term. Although it looks great, it is actually very stupid. Although the Lu family is developing quite well now, it is impossible to make up the blood of a country with its own efforts.
In short, everything within Yan State is developing for the better.
Of course, there are many bad things.
Although the internal problems were being solved one by one, Lu Chaoxi gradually settled on the position of the emperor, and the Lu Family's attitude as a royal family became more and more sufficient. However, the external pressure faced by the entire State of Yan is not small at all.
Mainly from Wei State.
Wei Dawei is not dead. After the war in the previous years, Wei’s main army and General Xia Cang all withdrew back, but they still had a legion stationed south of the Pingzhou line of defense, and from time to time they sent some scout teams to cross the border. Go to Pingzhou to investigate and perform some sabotage tasks.
Logically speaking, the two countries are still in a state of war. After the war, the two sides did not sign any armistice agreement.
For these scout teams, the local garrison in Pingzhou was of course ordered to expel and annihilate them. However, the scout team sent in by others was considered elite. The imperial court’s garrison was difficult to deal with, and often let people escape after paying a lot of casualties.
The only ones who can really achieve some achievements are the direct monks of Yunxiaozong stationed on the Pingzhou defense line.
In the past five years, this has almost evolved into the daily routine of the Pingzhou frontline. The two sides are fighting each other in Pingzhou in such a small team.
The overall number of casualties is not too much. Moreover, Wei Guo neither would nor dare to risk the world and instruct the monk team to massacre mortals. But just such infiltration and destruction is still annoying.
The three counties to the south of Pingzhou were all hit by disasters. The local sects and local forces were miserable, and the output of various resources was greatly reduced. This has led to a drop in the production capacity of Pingzhou by at least 30-40%
Although the imperial court itself did not collect taxes in Pingzhou, the output of Pingzhou was basically taken away by Yunxiaozong. However, Yunxiaozong had lost this money and had to carry the pressure from Wei on the front line. At these costs, they would not be able to resist all by themselves.
In the past few years, the imperial court has always allocated funds to the front line of Pingzhou, and the expenditure has been increasing day by day, and it is even impossible to see when it will be headed for a while.
More importantly, the Yunxiaozong cultivator army on the front line of Pingzhou did not dare to take the initiative to attack. Perhaps they are capable of organizing a raid together to burn the flames of war into the borders of Hezhou, the neighboring Wei State. But once, with the great moat of the river, the place they can reach is the north of Hezhou. How can they not cross the river? Secondly, it is assumed that the flames of war will reignite again, and Wei Guo will regain the army, but Yan Guo can not stand it.
In fact, in addition to small-scale confrontations on the frontline battlefields, the two countries have had more than once or twice diplomatic confrontations over the years. Mo Chengdong, the new son of the Mo family in charge of the diplomatic affairs of Dayan, is working hard to promote the peace process between Dayan and Wei in accordance with the intentions of the court and Yunxiaozong.
However, Wei Guo's request was too much. On the one hand, they demanded the cessation of territory, on the other hand, they also demanded very high war reparations. Yan Guo has to hand over the Li family...
These conditions are of course impossible to agree. The two sides are arguing about these matters, and Pingzhou is still burning one after another in small-scale wars.
However, the event of this faceless meeting has brought about some changes.
After Bai Yuan's death, No-Men will be destroyed, and a large amount of information was obtained by the Lu family, which recorded a lot of things that Wei's secret affairs camp secretly supported No-Men.
In addition, even during the siege of Bai Yuan, five clones of Ghost Face God appeared unexpectedly, which made people feel particularly angry.
After the imperial court passed the gap between Yunxiaozong, Da Hong, who was in charge of the country's diplomatic work, issued a diplomatic note to Wei, denounced their actions.
Wei Guo, of course, completely denied these allegations.
But this denial is very weak. On the one hand, they can't get anything out, denying the materials they found in the meeting without face, and on the other hand, the incarnation of the ghost god, they can only use excuses such as ‘this is a fake’ and ‘pure slander’.
Then this must be very nonsense.
Assuming that there were only Yan and Wei, they would deny it. When they had nothing to do with them, it would be difficult to do other things.
But the entire world of practice is not just the two of Wei and Yan.
The Nine Immortal Kingdoms are not for fun. Their Wei State is considered to be a relatively strong family among the nine nations, but after all, it is far too early to unify the world. Wei Guo had a bad relationship with Yan Guo, but the feud was Qi in the east.
The strength of others is not bad.
To be honest, if it weren't for the worry that Qi would do something in the east, Xia Cang wouldn't have rushed withdraw during the war eight years ago. No matter how much Wei State exerted more power, it would not be impossible to go northward and destroy the State of Yan.
And this time, after being caught, Da Yanhong and Qing Mo Chengdong also walked around repeatedly, contacted Qi, and put pressure on them together. As a long-term relationship with Yan, he was also controlled by the Zongmen Alliance. Under the active contact of Yunxiaozong, Jin, which controls the government, also helped on the diplomatic battlefield together.
The Liang State to the west of the Wei State was also within the scope of wooing, but because the Yanjin and Jin Dynasties attacked the Northern Wilderness Forest, Liang State had a very strong tradition of coexisting human and demons, and they were very dissatisfied with this. , I didn't say anything this time; Wu and Chu, who were on the border with Wei in the south, also joined in the excitement and made an autumn breeze.
Of course, there are multiple transactions behind these things. Yan Guo paid a lot of practical things in exchange for all kinds of support.
However, these things are still valuable.
Under pressure, Wei Guo had to restart peace talks with Yan Guo.
At the negotiating table, Mo Chengdong was tough, but actually softer.
The instructions given to him by the Lu Family and Yun Xiaozong were actually very unified. After experiencing the civil strife, wars, and natural disasters of the white ghost traveling south, the country of Yan has all experienced it. Now it takes time to recuperate and accumulate strength. My own domestic affairs have not been dealt with clearly yet, it is really not suitable to be outside and maintain a long-term hostile state with a rather powerful enemy like Wei.
There is nothing to talk about about handing over the Li clan; cede territories also does not work, otherwise the Pingzhou line of defense that has been set up will let people embed a nail, which is bound to be unacceptable.
But here is the war reparations, and Yan can be softened.
After two years of arduous negotiations, the peace agreement was finally negotiated.
Yan Guo needs to pay Wei Guo 4 million Lingshi in three years.
This is not a small amount of money. The imperial finances, which had improved a bit, were suddenly burdened. And Yunxiaozong's meaning is also very obvious, they don't plan to pay the money, so the court must find a way to squeeze it out of its own finances.
When the incident came back, Yan Guo was very aggrieved.
Those who are desperate to quell the war are certainly welcome. But the main combatants and the centrists are all disappointed. In the past ten years, the Lu family, which gradually established prestige, also felt some pressure within Yu Yan, and the prestige tended to decline.
In any case, it is clear that the war has not been defeated, but compensation is required. Of course, many people cannot accept this emotionally.
But there is no way for this matter. What the Lu family can do is try to guide public opinion internally. On the one hand, it is to throw the pot at Li Shiwen, which was done by Li Shiwen in the past; on the other hand, it is to try to maximize the hatred. Lead to the enemy country of Wei.
In short, let me rest, get back to my senses, and see who has the thick wrist in a few years.
...
In any case, the peace agreement has been negotiated, and it is always a good thing.
Military expenditures on the frontline can be slowed down a bit, and the entire court has more energy that can be invested in integrated internal management. The whole Dayan is gradually recovering strength.
And in addition, there is one good thing.
In the Lu family, in the third month after the interview, a special offspring was added.
The population of the Lu family is not too sparse now, and newborn babies are always coming out. But this one is said to be very special, mainly because of his parents.
This child, named Lu Tingwan, has two of Dayan's most honorable persons as father and mother.
He is the son of Lu Chaoxi and Li Yanling.
Lu Chaoxi and Li Yanling have been married for forty years. But the two of them have not given birth to new offspring until today.
More importantly, Lu Qing saw his talents through the system interface as soon as the child was born:
The natural root of wind alone!
This can be considered a very good talent anyway, but in fact, in the Lu Family, Shan Linggen is just like that, there are many.
However, Lu Qing was very overjoyed.
The monks with single spirit roots that the Lu family had produced before were actually born with double spirit roots, but the day after tomorrow, Lu Qing held an exchange item like "Upgrading Linggen"~EbookFREE.me~ On the first floor, it reached the level of single Linggen.
To ascend from single spirit root to sky spirit root, five stars are required [ascending spirit root]. Even if the five-star exchange items are not rare, as far as Lu Qing is concerned, there are actually not many in his hand.
Except for 【Ascending Spiritual Root】.
[Upgrade Linggen] This kind of exchange item, even if the high-star one wants to use it, the object itself must have a natural single spiritual root level. Lu Qing has several of these things in his hands, but they have always wanted to use them for no purpose.
Now it can finally be used!
Without hesitation, a five-star upgrade of Linggen was exchanged, and Lu Qing looked again, Lu Tingwan, the newborn grandson, had become a Huotian Linggen monk!
