Chapter 353 What is it about me?
Xu Ren opened the map, "This is the situation around you now. From north to south, it is:
The Deng Kingdom in the north is 3,800 miles in radius;
The Cai Kingdom in the north is in a radius... only Sanchuan is left, only a thousand miles away, but its foundation is still there and it cannot be underestimated;
The northwest state of Zheng, with a radius of four thousand miles;
The Chen Kingdom in the West is 4,200 miles in a radius;
The Qi State in the southwest is four thousand miles in radius;
The southern state of Jin is 5,000 miles in radius;
The Liu Kingdom in the south is 3,200 miles in radius.
These countries have a history of more than a thousand years.
Also, the current state of Xiao is estimated to be about 1,200 to 1,200 to 1,300 miles; if the Tang State does not count Anyang, it is about 1,000 miles.
Our Anyang presents a narrow and long terrain between north and south, with nearly two thousand miles north and south, and a width of about seven hundred miles east and west. It can be regarded as a width of about one thousand and one hundred miles (a circle).
There is also the "Hou Daxia Kingdom" after the merger of Guangling County, Nanyang County and Songzhou County, with an area of about a hundred miles.
In addition, there is Wuyang County in our center, and now there is about a quarter of the area in the three-independent area."
"Tsk..." Li Xian felt a little sad, "The once prosperous imperial capital has become a three-no-door area."
After analyzing the situation, Yan Ze'an looked at Li Xian: "Young Master, the series of impacts brought about by the demise of the Great Xia Kingdom have affected the stability of the east of Yingzhou. The decline of Cai's country and the opening of borders have spread this chaos to a radius of thousands of miles, and it is still spreading.
It can be foreseen that at most five or six years later, the east of Yingzhou will fall into an unprecedented melee. In the end, it is inevitable to redefine the border, and even a huge empire with a territory of thousands of miles like the central Yingzhou, Zhao and Wei will appear.
What should we do?"
It's time for Li Xian to set the tone again. Yan Ze'an asked about expansion and competition for hegemony.
Li Xian turned around and left, "It's messy, what's the matter for us? It's better to be in chaos, and there's an opportunity for Anyang to develop in chaos. It's my father's business, so we just need to do business.
Don’t forget that our roots are industry and commerce. If the East is in chaos, we will sell our weapons to the entire East; if the Yingzhou is in chaos, we will sell our arms all over Yingzhou!
When others occupy land with force, we use industry and commerce to control Yingzhou!
Okay, this matter has nothing to do with us for the time being. I went to bed and read Bird Seal for a long time and felt dizzy."
Until Li Xian's back disappeared, everyone opened their mouths and suddenly felt speechless; but at the same time they agreed with Li Xian's statement, Yes, the East is in chaos, what should we do? It's better to be in chaos. After the chaos, Anyang's industry and commerce will have a larger market!
Back at the rear of the city lord's mansion, Li Xian was about to rest. Xia Qingqing said hesitantly, "Husband, Xiao Tao is already sixteen years old."
"Oh." Li Xian responded in a daze, then fell down with his four legs, his eyes closed.
Seeing this, Xia Qingqing immediately disappeared and repeated: "Husband, my maid Xiao Tao is already sixteen years old."
"I know, I know, my beauty, it's time for us to play the fairy fight."
"You..." Xia Qingqing supported Li Xian's chest with one hand, feeling a little embarrassed and angry: "You... do you really don't understand or do you understand! A girl is adult at the age of 16, and she can... get married..."
"Oh, that's your maid. What's up to me? Come on, beauty, give the uncle a few bites..." Li Xian was still confused.
Xia Qingqing grabbed Li Xian's ear: "According to the rules, the maid who is dowry by me should be your concubine. You should give Xiaotao a title."
"Oh, it turns out that's the matter!" Li Xian was no longer sleepy, and his eyes suddenly became brighter.
"You are very excited!" Xia Qingqing's tone was sour.
Li Xian shook his head: "That little girl is too young, I always regard her as my sister. Besides, I am the wise king, and I have to marry Princess Long, like that... Oh... Oh... my good princess, be gentle, my ears are about to fall off..."
"Okay, you really have the idea of that! Tell me, when did it start?"
Xia Qingqing's eyebrows are raised; Xiao Tao is just a maid, and at most he can only be a concubine; but Princess Long is more noble than her own princess of a devastated country, so she would take Li Xian away; this is what Xia Qingqing does not allow. Li Xian is what Xia Qingqing is now, and Xia Qingqing protects her "interests" like a tigress who cares for her own territory.
Li Xian is so miserable, how can things be like this? His eyes turned, and Li Xian quickly changed the topic, "Your Highness, Princess, why did you suddenly talk about Xiaotao? Is there anything else? But let me say it first, I really treat Xiaotao as a little sister."
In fact, Xiaotao can only be considered pretty. Li Xian feels that he is a wise king, so he should have a higher vision and be of good taste. We should not choose to eat without any choice. Our target is not folk women, but fairies in the sky, princess in the dragon palace, etc., which is called taste.
And there is another point that taking concubines from the people will cause many problems. For example, some officials and businessmen will desperately send their daughters to Li Xian, which will lead to many bad effects.
At this moment, Li Xian had turned his thoughts to politics - sending Xiaotao away, and conveying a signal to everyone: I, Li Xian, are not lustful, and are not a person who is hungry, so you will be spared your little thoughts.
Since ancient times, almost no one of the stunning emperors who have collected from the people has a good ending; at least it is inevitable that a thousand men will refer to it! In the fairyland, if it is really a thousand men will refer to it, it will really "end without success and the road to immortality will be cut off."
As if seeing the change in Li Xian's vision, Xia Qingqing also put down Li Xian's ears; then gently blew Li Xian's ears as if coaxing a child, "Does it still hurt..."
It doesn't hurt, but it feels itchy...
The next morning, Xia Qingqing told the matter; it turned out that Xia Qingqing had already discovered that the little maid had started to stare in a daze, obviously she had a sweetheart; and there was anxiety in daze, so it was obvious that this sweetheart was not Li Xian, otherwise she would not have been anxious.
Li Xian felt sad when he heard this, "I am so outstanding, that little girl dares to fall in love with someone else..."
Xia Qingqing spat, "What does it mean to be a transference? If you don't know how to use words, don't use them. You, too tall and outstanding, ordinary girls dare not expect it."
"That's it!" Li Xian was immediately happy, "But who dared to dig out the corner of my King of Virtue? You must know. Speaking of which, I'll make his bones marrow!"
Xia Qingqing suddenly sighed, "One of your guards, Zhang Hongtao. He is the one who accompanied Xiaotao home."
Li Xian suddenly became gloomy.
"This is normal!" Xia Qingqing said in a quiet tone, "In the palace, there will be... some shameful things between the guards and the palace maids, and even the guards and the imperial concubines. After all, there are only one emperor, while there are hundreds, or even thousands of palace maids, concubines, etc.
In fact, I have never heard of an emperor with many concubines who can completely avoid this."
"In other words, as long as the emperor has many concubines, he is basically a cuckold king?"
Xia Qingqing gave Li Xian a blank look, "You can't speak more tactfully."
"I want to show the most sincere and authentic me in front of the princess."
Xia Qingqing immediately smiled, "I'm so slick. However, I don't recommend you take Xiaotao as your concubine. Xiaotao is not qualified, and his life is not good after a child will also lead to a little disease. At most, he can only practice to the Golden Elixir stage and then he will age.
besides……"
Xia Qingqing bit her lower lip, "In the past, my country of Daxia was a little sorry for Xiaotao's family. I want to help Xiaotao find a satisfactory home."
Li Xian immediately agreed: "You should be responsible for this matter. However, the face of the wise king must be guaranteed.
First of all, we must take the initiative to make this matter known to everyone, and we cannot damage my majesty. It is best to make me a role model of a saint.
Secondly, take the opportunity to win over the hearts of the people, especially the loyalty of the guards. Since you do it, you must do your best.
Third, make a political slogan to encourage Anyang to liberate his mind and encourage women to pursue their own happiness. I have long wanted to do this. The bad custom of "parents' orders and matchmakers' has begun to hinder Anyang's development.
Secretly plan the social atmosphere of free love and publicly refute the bad customs of "parents' orders and matchmakers' words". It is best to make it a meeting to complain.
Fourth, let Zhang Hongtao suffer a little, and the man he is acting is a little bit more, and he can also help him establish a beautiful image. The more perfect Zhang Hongtao performs, the taller my image will be!"
However, there is one thing that Li Xian didn’t say: Maybe we can take this opportunity to have an ideological liberation movement in Anyang! The old ideas have already restricted the development of Anyang, and it is time to have an ideological movement!
When Xia Qingqing heard this, she immediately agreed and was very happy. "If you want to push things to the peak, you need to do something."
