Chapter 45: Changes in the North
"He stands tall and famous, and is so arrogant that he is unparalleled."
Lin Dong reached out and patted Duan Yu who was confused in front of him, and smiled and said, "He is your senior brother."
"ah?"
"Senior Brother?"
Duan Yu looked around in confusion and said with a confused look on his face: "What those people just said was the eldest brother? No way..."
"That's right, the person they said who can carry the world with one shoulder and raise their hands to carry the world is your senior brother Qiao Feng."
Lin Dong nodded with emotion and said, "I have never thought that Feng'er has such a great reputation in the north."
North Qiao Feng, South Murong.
Originally, this sentence was one of the essences of the dragon.
However, what Lin Dong thought at the beginning was nothing but the area around Bianliang City, or rather, it was just in Henan.
But now he suddenly understood that Qiao Feng’s reputation in North Qiao Feng was probably not that simple.
What kind of world is this?
The world of martial arts!
In such a world, he has such a great reputation. How unsightly would it be if he moved to the simple world of Tianlong?
Lin Dong dared not imagine.
At this moment, he knew what kind of person he had created in the original work, and understood even more why Emperor Daozong of Liao became sworn brothers with Qiao Feng.
It is not just because of life-saving grace, and worship of integrity.
More importantly, Qiao Feng’s reputation in the Northland is actually.
Regardless of history, just talking about this kind of three views on the martial arts world, Liao Daozong, who became sworn brothers with Qiao Feng, is not only not embarrassing, but also a great honor.
Because, he deserves it!
On the next journey, Duan Yu became much silent.
At the same time, he became a little more lively.
Silence is for Lin Dong, and liveliness is for the people in the north.
He asked many people from the north, and then looked at Lin Dong incredibly: "It turns out that the eldest brother is so strong. I thought he was just a little famous. Who knew that he could scare Yelu Xiu Ge so much that he didn't dare to go out for three days."
Before, when Duan Yu asked, he had heard from the people of the north that what Qiao Feng did.
Just one news was released, Yelu Xiu Ge gave up the 100,000 troops and left only a few hundred guards to protect the dog-beating stick.
This is only in the military and political aspects. Many local officials in the North have made complete preparations.
If Duan Yu had experienced later generations, he would definitely widen his eyes and say: Even if it was a nuclear threat, it would not be so terrifying, right?
But now, just one sentence released by Qiao Feng has made countless local officials cautious and even opened up many escape channels for people...
"A county magistrate actually said that once the battleground is chosen in this county, he will lead all the people to take refuge in the wilderness."
Duan Yu swallowed, recalling Qiao Feng, who was respectful to Lin Dong and friendly to him in his mind, tremblingly said: "Can you destroy the city with one battle?"
"Hahaha."
Lin Dong was amused by Duan Yu's reaction. He sat on the horse and laughed, then replied: "Of course it's impossible, but your senior brother's deterrence is indeed full."
After saying this, Lin Dong added another sentence in his heart: If the Song Dynasty started a war with the Liao Kingdom at this time, if there was a Qiao Feng on the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom would probably be nervous...
Yes, the situation in the north is so complicated and tense.
Even those who don’t believe in it will be hiding honestly at this time.
For example, those poor generals of the Liao Kingdom who once showed off their power obediently during this period, they all dared not to exploit the people at all, for fear of being brought to the door.
After thinking about this deterrence, Lin Dong can only describe it in one word.
nuclear weapon!
Apart from these three words, he really couldn't find any other words to describe.
While Lin Dong was thinking about it, Duan Yu quietly walked over from the front, hugged his legs hard, and said pitifully: "Master, can I learn the martial arts of the Senior Brotherhood in the future?"
"you?"
Lin Dong glanced at him, then shook his head and said, "No."
Duan Yu's mouth sagged and cried without tears: "Why can't it be? Yu'er also wants to be so strong, even wants to be stronger. Master, you can't be so biased..."
"It's not that you are biased or not, but that the paths of you two are different. In the future, you will have your own fate, just like your senior brother."
Lin Dong smiled and rubbed Duan Yu's head, saying, "And you misunderstood the meaning of being a teacher. In your life, you are not a celestial immortal who turns stones into gold, but a person who gives you the key."
"Key?" Duan Yu raised his head in confusion, widened his black eyes and asked, "What key?"
"Ask so much what to do, go and pull the horse and kick it for you."
"Master, I'm not, no..."
"Go quickly!"
"No..."
"If you don't go, I won't even give you the key. Even if you work hard for a few lifetimes, you will never be able to get your own gorgeous life."
Duan Yu was stunned, and then quickly walked forward: "Male, go quickly, how lazy it looks like? Are you angry when you didn't see the master? If you don't obey, you will chop you and stew it!"
Lin Dong: “…”
This live treasure is really impossible for him.
...
The scenery in the north is actually not very good.
Compared with the prosperity of Henan and the refugees behind the prosperity, the entire north seems a bit empty.
It took Lin Dong a long distance to see a village, and most of the villages were very small.
Compared with the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom seemed very lonely, desolate, and poor.
Ordinary people are all in ragged clothes, and some refugees are hundreds of times more miserable than the most miserable refugees in the Song Dynasty that Lin Dong had ever seen.
"It's already great now. It was really scary at the beginning. Every time I collected the food, 50% or 60% of it would be taken away directly. Now I only collected 30% or 40% of it, so I can barely survive."
"It is said that the great hero Qiao Feng made changes to us. Many officials said that without Qiao, there would be no them, and without them, there would be no today's reduction."
"It was really miserable at the beginning, but now it's much better."
"Clothes? Changes are just beginning, and the future will definitely be good."
However, what surprised Lin Dong was that after Duan Yu and himself asked the local people, they actually received a promising answer to the future.
This surprised him infinitely, and he felt endless doubts in his heart.
However, as he continued to move forward, he gradually understood.
It turned out that the Liao Kingdom was carrying out a series of reforms at this time, and those reformists were often the poor scholars who had been one after another.
To be honest, these people are not much different from the officials of the Song Dynasty, except for a little empathy.
What does it mean?
The meaning is very simple. After these people go up, some corrupt officials will appear, but at least they will give the people a way out because they are one of them.
But the officials of the Song Dynasty were different. Once those officials achieved certain achievements, they would never lose all benefits.
For example, if an ordinary scholar passes the imperial examination once and is on the list, most of the people who are famous can receive a lot of funding.
Whether it is a local sage or a businessman, there are many people who provide this type of funding.
Then, the scholar basically didn't worry about eating.
