Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1388: Guo Qingyi

"Wagangzhai wants to cooperate with the Yingui Sect?" Jiang Chen then remembered that there was a Wagangzhai between the Tang Kingdom and the Sui Kingdom in the Sui and Tang Continent.

"Yes, according to the information from the Jinyiwei, Wagangzhai wanted to cooperate with the Yingui Sect because of the pressure from the Xiuli Army..." Sun Sanniang repeated the information from the Jinyiwei.

"The internal affairs of the Sui Kingdom have not been resolved yet, and the Wagangzhai issue cannot be resolved yet." Jiang Chen said.

"My husband wants to use Wagangzhai..." Sun Sanniang understood what Jiang Chen meant.

"Yes, when necessary, we can lead the army of Wagangzhai to attack the city and capture the stronghold." In Jiang Chen's opinion, if Emperor Chongzhen of the late Ming Dynasty drove Li Zicheng to Jiangnan, it might be the best way to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

As for the lives of ordinary people, Jiang Chen doesn't care at all.

After all, this world is one where the strong are respected.

"Then should we do something?" asked Sun Sanniang.

"We just need..." Jiang Chen whispered in Sun Sanniang's ear.

"Husband, I will arrange it." Sun Sanniang said.

"Go and call Shan Meixian." Jiang Chen said.

"I'll send someone right away." said Sun Sanniang.

A moment later, Shan Meixian came.

"Greetings, Mr. Jiang." Shan Meixian bowed.

"Madam Dongming, please stand up." Jiang Chen raised his hand to support her.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Shan Meixian said.

"Madam Dongming, I came to you this time to ask about the Dongming Sect. Please tell me about it." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Shan Meixian responded and repeated it to Jiang Chen.

"So the Dongming Sect has been taken down? The Shang family's issue has been resolved?" Jiang Chen asked.

"In reply to Mr. Jiang, the problem has been completely resolved." Shan Meixian said.

"How many people are there in Dongming Sect now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"In reply to Mr. Jiang, we in the Dongming Sect have hundreds of disciples..." Shan Meixian recounted the situation of the Dongming Sect.

"Madam Dongming, I want the Dongming faction to cooperate with the imperial court to attack Japan." Jiang Chen said.

"Attack Japan?" Shan Meixian was stunned. "Master Jiang has a good relationship with the imperial court?"

"Yeah." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Mr. Jiang, cooperate with the court..." Shan Meixian looked at Jiang Chen hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Jiang Chen said.

"Mr. Jiang, you are the only respected one in our Dongming Sect." Shan Meixian said.

"Don't worry, your choice will not be wrong." Jiang Chen patted Shan Meixian on the shoulder.

Shan Meixian shuddered.

Apart from the unspeakable things that Bian Bufu did to her, no man had ever dared to do such a thing to her.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Nothing... nothing." Shan Meixian shook her head.

"That's good. By the way, I heard that your Dongming Sect has had contact with overseas businessmen. Is that true?" Jiang Chen asked.

"That's true." Shan Meixian nodded.

"Can you tell me about the situation of overseas businessmen?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Okay..." Shan Meixian said immediately.

"So, these overseas businessmen are really in the southeast?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Yes, but I heard it will take more than a year for them to come here," Shan Meixian replied.

"More than a year is far enough." Jiang Chen judged the distance to the new world in his mind.

Of course, it is not certain whether it is a new world now. After all, it is possible that large islands are inhabited.

"Mr. Jiang, do you want to do business with overseas businessmen?" Shan Meixian asked.

"Yes, there are huge profits from overseas businessmen." Jiang Chen did not tell the truth.

"Mr. Jiang, do you want me to arrange someone to find an overseas businessman?" Shan Meixian said.

"Sure." Jiang Chen felt that even if there was a continent explorer, it would only explore the continent, and those merchants could have air routes, which was also what the Jiang family needed.

A quarter of an hour later, Shan Meixian left.

Jiang Chen came to the palace.

"I have met His Majesty."

Xiao Meiniang and Chu Jiuli met Jiang Chen in the imperial study.

"Get up." Jiang Chen said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Meiniang and Chu Jiuli bowed and stood up.

"sit down."

After sitting down, Jiang Chen asked Xiao Meiniang and Chu Jiuli about the situation in the Sui Kingdom.

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Meiniang and Chu Jiuli began to report.

"The Xiaoguo Army can take action after training." Chu Jiuli said.

"We will take action after waiting for news from King Kaoshan." Jiang Chen asked Xiao Meiniang about the finances of the Sui Dynasty.

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Meiniang reported.

The taxes of the Sui Dynasty were mainly paid in June and November each year. The summer tax was paid before June, and the autumn tax was paid before November.

The taxation system of the Sui Dynasty mainly consisted of three parts: rent, taxes and labor service.

Rent refers to the two dan of millet that each male adult pays to the state every year; tax refers to the two zhang of silk, three liang of cotton, or twenty zhang and five chi of cloth, or three jin of hemp that each male adult pays every year; and labor service refers to twenty days of labor service. If the state does not need their service, each male adult can pay three chi of silk or three chi seven and a half inches of cloth every day to replace the labor service. This is called "yong" or "paying labor service in lieu of labor service."

In addition, the taxation system of the Sui Dynasty was closely related to the equal-field system. The equal-field system stipulated that each male adult could obtain a certain amount of open field and permanent field, and women, slaves and oxen also had corresponding land allocations. The purpose of the equal-field system was to enhance the enthusiasm of farmers for production and increase the country's tax revenue.

"...Your Majesty, this year's tax revenue may be only half of last year's." Xiao Meiniang said finally.

"It seems that there will still be a huge fiscal deficit this year." Jiang Chen's eyes focused.

The fiscal deficit means no impact on the Jiang family's fortune.

However, running a country is like doing business. It is normal to suffer some losses in the initial investment.

"Yes. If Your Majesty wants to launch a military operation, please start from other places." Xiao Meiniang said.

"I will transfer funds and food from other places. If necessary, we can put on a show with the Tang Kingdom." Jiang Chen said.

"Your Majesty, are the Tang and Sui kingdoms really no longer one?" Xiao Meiniang asked.

"no need."

Jiang Chen said: "The Sui and Tang continent is too big, especially there are several countries in the south. If we merge them into one, we can't manage so much territory. It's better to separate them. What's more, they are all from my Jiang family, so it doesn't matter if we don't do anything overtly."

"That's right." Xiao Meiniang nodded.

"How is the situation with Shen Faxing going now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It's almost resolved. It won't take half a month to completely pacify Shen Faxing." Chu Jiuli said.

"No news about Xiao Xin?" Jiang Chen asked.

In the Sui and Tang Continent, Xiao Xin is in charge of the Baling Gang, the second of the eight gangs. He has a huge influence, rich intelligence, and is well connected with both the black and white worlds. However, he has a very bad reputation.

A year ago, the leader Lu Kangshou was stabbed to death, and Yang Guang arranged for someone to investigate, but none of the people he sent out came back alive. This also made Yang Guang realize that Xiao Xin was no longer under control.

After impersonating Yang Guang, Jiang Chen arranged for Xiao Meiniang to write a letter and ask Xiao Xin to come to Jiangdu.

It’s a pity that when Jiang Chen came to Jiangdu last time, there was no news from Xiao Xin.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Xin has not come to Jiangdu yet, and I'm afraid he won't come." Xiao Meiniang was a little trembling.

Jiang Chen is not Yang Guang.

She was Yang Guang's queen and represented the Jiangnan gentry, so even if she had some ideas, Yang Guang could not do anything to her. But Jiang Chen was different. There were many beautiful women around Jiang Chen. Even if she was from the Jiang family, she was only one in a hundred, and her status was not high.

The Jiang family is very powerful, and Xiao Xin's desire to establish himself is undoubtedly a dead end.

"Xiao Xin, you don't know how to appreciate my kindness." Jiang Chen said.

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Meiniang looked at Jiang Chen worriedly.

"I'll let Zhu Yuyan handle it." Jiang Chen said.

"Yes." Xiao Meiniang's heart trembled, and she didn't dare to say anything.

Xiao Xin is just a member of the clan, there is no need for her to plead with Jiang Chen for her own sake.

"Okay, it's getting late, help me take a bath." Jiang Chen said.

Xiao Meiniang and Chu Jiuli responded, stood up, and started calling the maid to prepare hot water.

……

After Jiang Chen met overseas merchants in Jiangdu, Sui State, on the Sui and Tang Continent, he used the continental explorer to explore the New World.

The continental explorer costs one low-grade spirit stone for every 5,000 kilometers, five low-grade spirit stones for every 10,000 kilometers, 20 low-grade spirit stones for every 20,000 kilometers, and 30 low-grade spirit stones for every 50,000 kilometers. One hundred low-grade spirit stones for every 100,000 kilometers, and 300 low-grade spirit stones for every 500,000 kilometers. And ten medium-grade spirit stones are needed for every 1 million kilometers. Because the distance from the Central Continent to the Northern Qi Shangjing in the Northern Qi Continent is almost 20,000 kilometers, Jiang Chen directly used 300 low-grade spirit stones.

The new continent discovered is located in the southeast of the Sui and Tang Continent, 40,000 kilometers away from the Sui and Tang Continent.

To this end, Jiang Chen used a flying talisman of top quality.

The flying talisman of top quality has a flying speed of 5,000 kilometers per hour, a usable time of twelve hours, and a flying altitude of 8,000 meters.

It took Jiang Chen eight hours to fly from the Sui and Tang Continent to the New Continent.

However, there are countless islands between the Sui and Tang continent and the New World, some of which are as large as the four islands of Japan.

However, Jiang Chen's target was the New World, and he did not go to those islands to check the situation.

After arriving in the New World, Jiang Chen investigated the situation in the New World.

After two days, Jiang Chen arrived in Bian Jing.

"Bianjing, Song Dynasty?"

"According to what I have learned, this Song Kingdom should be the Song Kingdom in the TV series "The Palace of Song" and "Qing Ping Le"."

"However, according to the show, there are other countries on this continent."

"Tartar, Dayan...Daqing..."

"It seems that this continent has been integrated into many film and television dramas."

Jiang Chen looked towards the palace.

Song State was a country in the western part of the continent.

Tatar is a country in the north of the continent.

To the east of Song State is Dayan.

"Unlike the Song Dynasty in history, the geographical location of the Song Dynasty seems to be reversed."

"In the history of the Song Dynasty, the coastal area was the east, but in this continent, the Song Dynasty was located in the west."

"interesting……"

Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the palace.

The next moment, Jiang Chen's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

A moment later, Jiang Chen arrived at the palace.

"It's him?"

Jiang Chen recognized it.

Zhao Heng, a character in "The Palace of Song Dynasty".

Zhao Heng in the play is the King of Xiang, whose original name was Zhao Dechang. He was the third emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. His temple name was Zhenzong. He reigned for 25 years and was one of the wise rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty. He won the throne with the help of Liu E. During his reign, he reformed agriculture and the official system and created the "Xianping Reign".

"The emperor of the Song Dynasty in the second world is Emperor Cheng Zhao."

"In the central continent of the third world is Liu Song."

"So, this is Zhao Song."

"So, the Tatars replaced the Liao Kingdom."

"interesting."

Jiang Chen looked at Zhao Heng.

"From today on, I am Zhao Heng."

Jiang Chen walked out.

"Who?"

Zhao Heng's voice rang out.

The next moment, Jiang Chen appeared in front of Zhao Heng.

"you……"

Zhao Heng lost consciousness just as he was about to say something.

The next moment, Jiang Chen turned into Zhao Heng's appearance.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Jingzong walked in.

"Is there something?" Jiang Chen has already read Zhao Heng's memory.

In "Palace of Song Dynasty", Zhang Jingzong, as the eunuch who served Zhao Heng personally, had seen too much of the world and knew many secrets. Now that Zhao Heng had passed away, he would be a threat to Liu E and her son, so he took the initiative to express his feelings to Liu E. Zhang Jingzong hoped that Liu E would let him guard the mausoleum for Zhao Heng, so that he could at least save his life. After all, after the change of dynasties, few of the eunuchs of the previous emperor had a good end.

Fortunately, Liu E had a kind heart and knew that Jingzong was loyal, so she did not kick him out, but kept him by her side to help him. In addition to Liu E's kindness, Zhang Jingzong was able to have a good ending mainly because he was smart enough.

Of course, there are many people who are more "shrewd" than Zhang Jingzong and Cao Liyong, such as the prime minister "Wang Qinruo"

"Your Majesty, the Empress requests an audience." Zhang Jingzong said.

"Let her in." According to Zhao Heng's memory, the queen was still in existence, and Liu E had just entered the palace and had not been favored by the emperor.

This is a little different from the show.

However, in the world of film and television integration, it is normal to have some changes.

"Yes." Zhang Jingzong responded.

After a while.

"The queen has arrived."

As a voice sounded.

Then, a gorgeously dressed woman walked in.

Jiang Chen looked over.

The next moment, the system prompt sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen thought silently in his heart.

[Congratulations to the host, you have signed in successfully and received ten stacks of intermediate-level talisman paper. ]

"Ten stacks of intermediate-level talisman paper?"

"This is talisman paper that can be used to draw intermediate-level talismans."

"This is the tenth time I signed in and got it."

"Golden Armor Talisman, Immobilization Talisman...these are all intermediate-level talismans."

"The primary level talisman corresponds to the first-class warrior, the primary level talisman corresponds to the innate warrior, the primary level talisman corresponds to the master warrior. The intermediate level talisman corresponds to the grand master."

"The intermediate-level talisman corresponds to the Martial King realm."

At this moment, Jiang Chen looked at the signing hostess.

Guo Qingyi, a character in "The Palace of Song Dynasty".

In the play, she is Empress Guo, a native of Taiyuan, Bingzhou. She was the first empress of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, Zhao Heng, and the second daughter of Guo Shouwen, the envoy of the Southern Court of Xuanhui. She was born in the Guo family of Taiyuan. She was modest and tolerant, and hated extravagance. In the fourth year of Chunhua, she married Zhao Heng, the Prince of Xiang, and was canonized as the Lady of Lu, and then the Lady of Qin. When Emperor Zhenzong of Song succeeded to the throne, she was canonized as the empress. She gave birth to three sons, including the Crown Prince Zhao You.

"Guo Qingyi in The Palace of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Guo Qingyi is only in her twenties now, right?"

“It seems that in the world of film and television fusion, the situation in the play has changed.”

"Guo Qingyi was born into a noble family. As the legitimate daughter of the Guo family, she has been doted on by her parents since she was young. It can be said that she is the apple of everyone's eye."

Guo Qingyi in the play is the daughter of Guo Shouwen, an important official. Her marriage to Zhao Heng was a political marriage, but she did have true feelings for Zhao Heng. When Zhao Heng volunteered to fight against the Liao army and was mistakenly believed to have died in battle, she suffered great pain. She gave birth to the emperor's grandson, but was killed by people sent by Qin King Zhao Tingmei. Her husband was in love with Liu E, an orphan girl from Shu whom he met among the people, and repeatedly ignored her. It can be imagined that Guo Qingyi was really unlucky before she became the queen. She was a very miserable woman.

Guo Qingyi's father, Guo Shouwen, wanted to kill Liu E, but he kept it a secret from her, which made her bear the blame from the beginning. How could this not make Zhao Heng feel resentful? For the sake of the future, although she did not approve of Liu E in her heart, she could only kneel with Zhao Heng to beg Taizong to spare Liu E's life; she was helpless about Liu E taking away her man, and she was helpless about her own blood being assassinated, but she always knew the general situation and did not act rashly, so that Zhao Heng's backyard would not get into trouble. It should be said that Guo Qingyi really did what a "virtuous wife" should do.

After Zhao Heng ascended the throne, Guo Qingyi finally reaped the rewards of her hard work and became the mistress of the harem as the legitimate wife. The status of empress was also the honor she deserved. She also worked hard and gave birth to the second prince Zhao You. However, when Zhao Heng decided to send Zhao You to the Liao Kingdom as a hostage, Guo Qingyi did not show the same magnanimity and decisiveness as Liu E. She cried and was reluctant to let Zhao You go. Although Zhao You saved his life by not going, judging from what happened to the eldest prince Zhao Ji later, it was also obvious that Guo Qingyi was not suitable for participating in politics, and she was not a person like Liu E.

However, Zhao Heng still trusted his legitimate wife, the queen. When he led the army to war in person, in order to guard against Prince Ji Zhao Yuanfen, Zhao Heng entrusted the important matters to Guo Qingyi, and Guo Qingyi was able to fulfill her mission. She could be tolerant in occasions and allow Prince Ji to give better tribute to Cao Siqi. She could also handle the situation skillfully when Pan Yushu was pregnant, showing her skills and strategy as a queen. At the same time, Guo Qingyi was able to handle the affairs of the harem in an orderly manner, and she was relatively friendly to Liu E. She was actually quite competent as a queen.

"Guo Qingyi's first child was killed by an assassin, and her second son died of smallpox. These blows devastated her and she eventually died of depression."

"According to Zhao Heng's memory, Guo Qingyi's second child has not yet been born."

Jiang Chen looked at Guo Qingyi, and the relevant plot emerged in his mind.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Guo Qingyi bowed.

"Get up." Jiang Chen said in Zhao Heng's voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Guo Qingyi stood up.

"What's the matter, Queen?" Jiang Chen asked in a cold tone.

This is Zhao Heng’s attitude towards Guo Qingyi.

However, Jiang Chen felt that the reason why Zhao Heng disliked Guo Qingyi and liked Liu E was probably because he was the successor of Wei Wuzhi.

"Your Majesty, I am here to discuss matters concerning the harem," Guo Qingyi replied.

"is it?"

Jiang Chen used Zhao Heng's attitude, tone and style to say, "Queen, can't you solve the problems in the harem?"
