Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 248 Middle Tang Dynasty
"The Mid-Tang people are finally here."

As dusk fell, Ji Jiashu was sitting in his study in the Southern Chu State Teacher's Mansion.The setting sun from the window hit the secret newspaper on the table, and the young man said calmly while flipping through the secret newspaper.

"It was just in time."

"Tomorrow is the Jixia Banquet and the Young Master's engagement banquet, and it's only here today," Ji Si complained as he brought the brewed tea to the table with the crisp sound of porcelain clashing on the table. Take your time."

On the other side, Wang Zhong, who was sorting out the books for Ji Jiashu, also curled his lips when he heard this, "That's right, our servants are still wondering if the Tang Dynasty people won't come here!"

The Grand Prix Ceremony is such a grand event, it is related to the strength of the entire country’s future practice. Powerful countries like Southern Chu and Dongwu have already prepared early, and practitioners from other small countries have even entered the city in advance to make friends, not to mention participating in the cultivation of the fourth palace screening Those who came even earlier.

Danyang City had been overcrowded a month ago.

But among the cultivators from all over the world who got busy early, there was an exception for people from one country.

That is the middle Tang people.

Ji Jiashu looked at the secret report on the table.

The attention paid by the people of the Middle Tang Dynasty to the elementary ceremony... can be said to be the lowest in the whole continent.

This year, not only did no casual cultivators enter the city beforehand, but even the main team led by his stepson was stuck at a certain point.Seeing that the primary ceremony was almost here, but there was no sign of Zhongtang people, Nanchu had no choice but to ask where Zhongtang's convoy was.

It is a custom for the six countries to participate, and if there is one country missing from the opening ceremony, it would be somewhat unlucky. If it hadn't been for finding out that the Zhongtang motorcade would arrive before the last day, Ji Jiashu reckoned that they would have to send someone from Nanchu to find it quickly.

Zhongtang is a neighboring country to Southern Chu, so it is not far away. According to Ji Jiashu’s report, it was not too late for the Zhongtang convoy to leave, but it was not too late for the Zhongtang convoy to leave. Going is the slowest of all the convoys.

It can be said that it is very in the style of the people of the middle Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the angry Wang Zhong and Ji Si, Ji Jiashu laughed and said, "People in the Middle Tang Dynasty have always been like this, and it's not much different from previous years."

He still remembered that when he participated in the elementary ceremony, Zhong Tang almost missed the elementary ceremony.

When other countries participate in the primary ceremony, they have to prevent them from robbing their cultivation resources, but in Zhongtang, they don't have to worry about it robbing them, what they worry about is that they don't come.

Zhongtang, a country dedicated to making everyone worry about whether they can see it next time.

"But since Zhongtang doesn't pay much attention to the elementary ceremony, isn't he worried that his country won't be able to produce powerful practitioners?" Ji Si asked suspiciously after hearing the words.

"Worried?" Ji Jiashu smiled, "Zhongtang doesn't rely on that."

The reason for the formation of such a casual and careless style of practice is naturally related to the national conditions of the Middle Tang Dynasty itself.

Wang Zhong and Ji Si's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Ji Jiashu could fully understand the reaction of the two children.

Because the national conditions of the Mid-Tang Dynasty are indeed very special in the entire continent.

On the Mountain Sea Continent, the strength of a practitioner is an extremely important part of a country's strength.Without strong practitioners, it is almost impossible to win foreign wars, and it may even directly lead to the destruction of the country.

Back then, Qin was able to unify the whole land and overthrow the royal families of all countries and replace them with obedient princes. This is inseparable from the powerful cultivation and military power headed by the chief commander Lin Shubai behind him.

It is also because of this that now that the empire is broken and the princes proclaim themselves kings, all countries are desperately improving the strength of their practitioners to avoid being annexed by other powerful countries.

But Zhongtang took a completely different path.

Ji Jiashu looked at Ji Si and Wang Zhong and smiled, "There was no army in the Mid-Tang Dynasty, and practitioners in the Mid-Tang Dynasty basically entered the Escort Bureau."

Middle Tang is a country with almost no military strength.

But in contrast, the Middle Tang Dynasty is the richest country on the Shanhai Road.

As a central country sandwiched between the former Southern Qin, Chu, and Eastern Wu, the Middle Tang Dynasty was rich in minerals, trade was extremely prosperous, and academically developed. It was the academic and trade capital of the entire mountain-sea continent.

To sum up the national conditions of the Middle Tang Dynasty in one sentence, it is that the soldiers are weak and the money is rich.

In general, such a country is fat in the eyes of a powerful country, and should be annexed first no matter how you look at it, but the mid-Tang Dynasty was able to maintain its style and survive to this day.

The main reason is that the country of the Middle Tang Dynasty has always been a vassal of a powerful country.

People in the Middle Tang Dynasty were not good at fighting, but they were good at doing business. When encountering wars, they tended to use money to solve them.

In other words, it is time-conscious.It is the fattest wall grass on the Shanhai Continent that gives money to any country that is strong.

20 years ago, the Zhongtang royal family was the first country to surrender to Emperor Qin Taizu. In the unification war of the Qin Empire, Zhongtang provided Qin with a large amount of military expenditure. In the end, the Emperor Ying was not popular and unified the whole country. Zhongtang became the only one The royal family has not been replaced by offshoots, and the country has retained its original appearance.

And just after the death of Emperor Ying and the death of Shao Siming and Da Siming one after another, Zhong Tang immediately sent a large amount of money to Nanchu.

Ji Jiashu narrowed his eyes.

It can be said that the grass style on the wall has been brought into full play.

The middle Tang Dynasty could not raise the strongest practitioners, but they would always follow behind the strongest practitioners.

The reason why other countries do not annex it is that the people of the Middle Tang Dynasty are really good at making money. After the annexation, they may not be able to make as much money as they are now.

The people of the Middle Tang Dynasty were also aware of their own advantages, they never expanded their military strength, they only devoted themselves to doing business and learning, their country is rich in culture, and there are many ancient books, including the secrets of practice. If it is destroyed by war, it is really a practice A great loss for the world.

What's more, the middle Tang Dynasty has always asked for anything from a powerful country. To keep such a country is actually to keep a pocket that can make money.

Mid-Tang sent money to Nanchu, and Nanchu would protect one or two of them.

"Anyway, being able to come is enough," Ji Jiashu said lightly.Originally, Zhong Tang came to participate in the primary ceremony, just to fill the show.

I have to say that Zhongtang did a good job in this scene.

"The stepson of Zhongtang this year is Song Qian," Ji Jiashu looked at the information in his hand.

Song Qian.

This name always makes Ji Jiashu think of sending money.

Of course, in order to maintain the image of Mr. Chunhua, he was just thinking about it in his heart.

"Qinghua sent all her nephews here, she is very sincere," Ji Jiashu said.

The current ruler of the middle Tang Dynasty is Song Deming, and his younger brother Yuyang Wang Song Zhai is knowledgeable, and he is one of the six princes of the Warring States Period, Qionghuajun.

Song Qian, the stepson of the middle Tang Dynasty, is the nephew of Qionghua Jun Songzhai, and Ji Jiashu once had a relationship with him.Although not as good as his uncle, Song Qian is also a real royal family.If Qin's stepson hadn't been Ying Xun before this year, Song Qian's status could be regarded as the highest among the stepsons.

"The main reason is to attend your engagement banquet, my lord," Ji Si said proudly, "The concierge has received a lot of congratulatory gifts from people from the Middle Tang Dynasty."

Speaking of engagements...

Ji Jiashu squeezed the information in his hand slightly, looked up at Ji Si and asked, "What...is she doing today?"
