I Have a Mythical Tree

The news of the death of the king of Shang and the succession of the new king spread throughout Taicang within three days, and the sound of wailing resounded throughout Taicang. The strong wind can escort the former lord to the court of heaven, and no longer suffer from the boundless wilderness.

Ji Xia was dressed in ordinary clothes and walked in the city of Tai. He had just ascended the position of king, but he only had a half-knowledge of the situation in Tai and Cang.

Besides him and Ji Qianqing, there was a young girl beside him. This girl was dressed in gray and simple clothes, but she couldn't hide her beautiful appearance and good figure. However, she kept her eyes on the road and did not communicate with Ji Xia and Ji Qianqing.

Ji Xia looked at her in embarrassment. This girl was named Jing Yu, and it was the girl Ji Qianqing rescued from Ji Xia's bedroom that day.

At that time, the situation was urgent, so Ji Qianqing arranged for her to stay in the palace. Now that Jiugou was defeated, she had time to deal with the girl.

Even though Ji Xia tried his best to deny that he didn't move Jing Yu's finger, the way Ji Qianqing looked at him still made him feel cold.

The facts are exactly as Ji Xia said, the girl was just captured by the prince before she had time to do anything, the Tai Cangyu incident broke out, Ji Shang's lord collapsed, and the prince was kicked to death by Ji Qianqing.

Originally, Ji Xia had hoped that Jing Yu would tell the truth and save his face as the new ruler. Unexpectedly, after she was rescued, she remained silent and just stared at Ji Xia with foggy eyes all the time, letting him Quite uncomfortable.

So Ji Xia decided to take advantage of this trip and personally send Jing Yu back, so that the new king would not have to suffer from "embarrassment" all the time.

"This area is the main city of Taicheng." The street in front of him was very dilapidated, with only a dozen or so small stall owners feebly selling the things in front of them.

This is obviously abnormal. In Taicheng, there are 400,000 residents. In the era of cold weapons with extremely underdeveloped transportation, it is a very scary number. In theory, business should be prosperous and the society should be prosperous. Barren land and scarce production restrict development.

Relying on a small piece of land behind Taicheng, Tai Cang stumbled through more than two hundred years. The food was distributed by the royal court, the clothes were distributed by the royal court, and even the medicine after serious illness also needed to be distributed by the royal court.

Ji Xia knows that this is an extremely sick system, but he also understands that in such a difficult environment, the Taicang Royal Court can only do this - Jiugou, Zhou Qing and the two kingdoms are staring at each other, and the giant beasts in the Gobi and rainforest are waiting for Taicang. The Cang people sent them to their door to have a full meal. Under such circumstances, if the Taicang Royal Court did not take back the right to control food and let the society develop, then everyone would eventually face the embarrassing situation of having no food to eat.

As the former prince of Taicang and now the lord of the kingdom of Taicang, he naturally knows how clean the royal court and all officials of Taicang are. In Taicang, there has never been a saying of being filled with private pockets and eating vegetarian food for the corpse. All officials eat two meals a day. Even if it is a little better than ordinary people, it is still good.

Ji Qianqing looked at Ji Xia's silence all the way, thoughtfully, and couldn't help asking: "Now you are the Lord of Taicang, what are your plans?"

Ji Xia looked at a few young children who were lying on the street to kill time because of hunger, and said softly: "When Dove Dog and the Crocodile Kingdom in the south reach an agreement for a temporary truce, they will make a comeback. Let's talk about a big battle, after the Jiugou Kingdom is completely resolved."

Ji Qianqing nodded, knowing that the reason why Jiugou was silent was more because of its defense against the Crocodile Kingdom, which was not weaker than them. Once Jiugou was willing to sacrifice something in exchange for a temporary truce from the Crocodile Kingdom, Tai Cang would face If it does, it will be a terrifying blow to the entire dove dog.

Ji Xia walked to a hut facing the street. An old man with a thin face and listless spirit leaned against a stone pillar to rest with his eyes closed.

"Old man, is there only one person in the family?" Ji Xia suddenly asked.

The sluggish old man turned his head with difficulty, facing the source of the sound, he opened his eyes, his eyes were blinded, looking at his groping movements, it is not difficult to see that this is a blind old man.

He replied loudly: "The two juniors went out to work before dawn. Now is the time to receive the goods. How can they stay at home?"

"Why can't you just stay at home? The food is provided by the royal court on a head-by-head basis. If you stay at home and work hard, you get the same food. Why do you have to work so hard?"

Hearing Ji Xia's words, the old man's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said unwaveringly, "Which family are you from? Why are you so ignorant? I have been working hard for hundreds of years to support my country. , if everyone had the same hateful thoughts as you, I would have been eaten alive by those dogs and monkeys long ago."

"Soldiers work hard for Tai Cang, daughters reproduce for Tai Cang, and continuously replenish strength for Tai Cang's army. Young people who live at home and have no outstanding talent for cultivation naturally have to take care of the lifeline of the land. What's wrong? "

"As for us old people, it is best to die quickly, so as not to drag down the king, the soldiers, or the sky. It is a pity that I have no disease or disaster, and the previous king explicitly prohibited the elderly from committing suicide..."

When the old man talked about the former Lord, two tears flowed from his cloudy eyes: "The Lord Shang has worked hard for the universe all his life. Now that he is gone, it is a good thing. You don't have to 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 are all Tai Cang people able to dedicate themselves to Tai Cang to such a degree?"

"Tai Cang is our home country!" The old man muttered: "This land was opened up by the sages with swords and swords. We have lived here since we were young. There is no place in the world that can accept us except Tai Cang."

"And how can it be said that we are dedicated to the sky? Everything we do is not so noble, we are saving our lives! Just like the daughters of the family suffer from pregnancy in October, not because they want to, but because they can only this way!"

"Without heirs, the number of people born cannot keep up with the number of people who died, so what is waiting for the sky is that everyone will be eaten alive, or cut into human beings for those beasts to play with! Compared with these, the pain of fighting for life, the pain of working, What is the pain of pregnancy?"

Ji Xia took a deep breath, silently saluted the old man's chest, straightened her waist, and continued to walk forward.

Jing Yu looked at Ji Xia without saying a word. As an ordinary low-level citizen of the Taicang Kingdom, she could clearly see some strange emotions in the eyes of the new head of the country whom she hated deeply.

He was shocked, he was moved, he was pitying, and he was making up his mind.

Ji Qianqing looked at this scene, her eyes seemed to be full of hope, and the long skirt on her body supported her more and more beautifully. She walked behind Ji Xia in a few steps and said softly: "Master, Nanqing Street is in front of you. home is coming."
