The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

"Boom boom boom..."

The hasty knock on the door awakened the sleeping Yan Linglong. She raised her head and looked at the dark sky outside the window, and realized that something important had happened, so she called out, "Come in!"

A female guard pushed the door open and entered, and hurried forward to report: "Your Highness, a report from the palace, His Majesty was assassinated and died!"

"What did you say?" Yan Linglong asked in shock as she lost all sleepiness in an instant.

The female guard repeated it again, and said: "Your Highness, this matter should be absolutely true. No one dares to lie about this kind of thing! It is said that the assassin is a super master, and he is very familiar with the structure of the palace, and he is also familiar with the guarding of the imperial army." It is very clear, it seems that it has been planned for a long time."

"Super masters!" Yan Linglong frowned. There were only a few super masters in the whole world, all of whom were famous warriors. It was really unexpected that they came to assassinate Yan Xifeng this time.

"Really dead?"

After muttering to herself, Yan Linglong fell into deep thought.

After all, he was her own brother, so Yan Linglong was very surprised that she would die when she said he would die, and Yan Xifeng's death was too sudden, which somewhat disrupted her plan.

But now is not the time to think too much, she immediately got up and dressed, and then quickly entered the palace.

After entering the palace, Yan Linglong personally confirmed that she believed that Yan Xifeng was dead, and his head was chopped off, how could he not die.

Yan Xifeng had only ascended the throne a few months before he was assassinated and died, becoming the emperor who died the fastest in the history of the Yan Kingdom.

Although the emperor died, he couldn't mess up his position. As the eldest princess of the town, Yan Linglong immediately supported the overall situation. She first ordered the forbidden army to invite the three important ministers under the door, the minister, and the minister, as well as the general of the guarding army outside the city.

The three important ministers with the power of prime minister rushed to the palace. When they heard that the emperor had been assassinated and died, they thought it was Yan Linglong who had usurped the throne. An important minister served as Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, enjoying ranks of ten thousand stones, gold seals and purple ribbons.

The smart Yan Linglong did not choose to listen to the government behind the curtain, because Yan Xifeng was assassinated, and she had serious suspicions, so she suggested that the three highest officials of the three provinces should directly assume the title of Sangong to assist the new monarch, so that her suspicion could be alleviated. After her son sits on the throne and the situation subsides, Yan Linglong can enter the court, even if she listens behind the curtain.

When the three important ministers heard this arrangement, their hearts became hot, and they looked at each other immediately, and they made a decision.

Next, things like announcing the world, the enthronement of the new emperor, and the burial of Yanxifeng.

 …

It was several days after Xiao Rui got the news.

Yan Xifeng wanted to die by himself and deserved to die, let him go to hell to find his father, the two can continue their grievances again. Now that the country of Yan has ushered in a new monarch, Yan Changqing who is only three years old, with Yan Linglong's protection, the country of Yan will definitely get close to Daxia, Xiao Rui doesn't have to worry about the safety of the south at all.

There is no need to worry about the south, the Wa country no longer exists and has become Yingzhou, so there is no need to worry about the coast. The west is blocked by Qijiang, but we must beware of Qin.

The Great Wall is being built on the eastern section of the northern border to block the Yuan army and keep them in the north, and there is no problem with Yue Fei and Li Cunxiao.

The middle section is mountains and rivers, natural dangers, don't worry.

Only the western section is left, without mountains and rivers. It is the border of sandy land and grassland, so the border gate that stretches for five or six hundred miles is open.

That area is very desolate, and the people living there are also very poor. Ganzhou and Suzhou, which used to belong to Qi State, now belong to the territory of Daxia. After passing these two states and going south, you can directly enter the Fourteen States of Anxi.

As Qi Jiang blocked Qin's ambitions, he was bound to go north from the sixteen counties of Dongqi, bypassing the grassland, and then he could directly enter Ganzhou and Suzhou, and continue to attack south. Xia's Anxi Fourteen States. Attacking to the east, you can enter the fourteen prefectures of Anbei.

And don't forget that the Mongol tribes have also moved west.

Therefore, there will definitely be a battlefield for the three kingdoms to confront each other. For this reason, Xiao Rui reactivated Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan and Zhenyuan Hou Hanming, and let them sit in Ganzhou and Suzhou to prepare for future wars. At the same time, let the captives go to Ganzhou and Suzhou, where they build cities as barriers.

It was useless for Xiao Rui to come down one more time, it was rewarded by the system when Zhang Ruoxi gave birth to Xiao Rui's son.

So after arranging the military affairs of Ganzhou and Suzhou, Xiao Rui immediately began to descend.

This time the speed of arrival was very fast, and it did not descend on civil servants or generals, but on objects, which were improved plow vehicles, which could increase the speed of plowing the land.

Xiao Rui had some hope, but there was nothing he could do.

As expected, Qin Guo's actions were within Xiao Rui's expectation, if he couldn't cross the river, he would go north and make a detour. Emperor Qin ordered Meng Yi to reorganize 200,000 soldiers and horses, bypass the grasslands, and occupy Suzhou in Daxia first.

Suzhou is located in the northwest corner of Daxia's territory. If it is mainly occupied there, it can go south to east, which is equivalent to directly tearing Daxia's defense. Then Qin's soldiers and horses can use Suzhou as their base one after another, and start to destroy Daxia!

It has to be said that Qi Huang played his wishful thinking.

Not to mention whether Meng Yi's 200,000 troops can take Suzhou, and whether the Mongolian troops on the grassland will allow him to detour, are still unknown.

So Xiao Rui didn't worry, just waited and watched the changes, the current Great Xia was not afraid of any encroachment.

ten days later.

Yan Changqing (Xiao Qiye) officially ascended the throne, and at Yan Linglong's suggestion, sent a letter of credence to Daxia, hoping that the two sides will deepen cooperation and deepen the alliance. With Daxia's help, sweet potatoes have been planted in the flood-prone areas of Yan State, and a bumper harvest has been achieved.

After much consideration, Xiao Rui agreed to deepen the cooperation between the two parties. Later, he would sell potatoes, corn, and cotton to Yan Country, and send people to teach them planting experience, so that the new crops would have a good harvest in Yan Country.

And the time, unknowingly, came to August and ushered in the autumnal equinox.

This year, Daxia also encountered severe natural disasters such as floods, droughts, rainstorms, and typhoons, which affected one-third of the state capitals, and even the fourteen states of Anxi were also affected to varying degrees.

The people's grain harvest is only one-third of what it was ten years ago, or even less. If there are no new crops and the years are so unfavorable, how will the people live?

Fortunately, the people have new crops.

The harvest of new crops has made up for the shortfall in the grain harvest, and the output has even surpassed the rice harvest. Now there is no need for the imperial court to vigorously publicize, the common people will know what to plant.

Yes, the taste of potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes is not as good as rice, but in the case of disasters everywhere, it is thankful to be able to eat enough, what do you expect to eat delicious?

Therefore, it can be predicted that in the future, the people's planting structure will be dominated by new crops, supplemented by five grains.

Looking further ahead, the harvest of the summer grains has decreased, and the same is true for other countries!

Needless to say, Yan State, Qin State was affected by drought and locusts, and the people’s harvest also dropped to one-third. Qin Emperor had to reduce or exempt taxes, but don’t forget that many people are renting land, and the state can exempt National taxation, but the rich and powerful will not exempt the people from taxation!

After the man in charge of the family pays taxes on the only one-third of the grain left, he may only last for two or three months when he looks at the grain left in the family. Then he looks at the people in the family. Everyone has no hope in their eyes and is full of despair. The man in charge couldn't stop crying.

This situation is not one, but countless families.

On the other hand, those dignitaries, Yingge Yanwu were extravagant, and they really answered that sentence:

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

The distant Wei State also experienced the same experience as Qin State.

As for the Yuan Kingdom, because of the different systems, their final plan was that the big tribes would eat the small tribes, and the small tribes would survive if they could survive, and perish if they couldn’t survive.

Under the endless grassland, I don't know how many people were buried.

And all of this is under Xiao Rui's control.

Since ancient times, wars have relied on the right time, place and people, and now Xiao Rui is relying on disasters to make Great Xia the most powerful country in the mainland of China.

So Xiao Rui had to hold on and continue to wait.

Next, Xiao Rui began to focus on the integration of the prefectures, which was a guarantee for the overall planning of Daxia in the future, and it was a major event. Xiao Rui was worried that it would be difficult to rely solely on the Ministry of Household Affairs, so Xiao Rui personally intervened.

During this period, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the cabinet have finalized the entire plan, including which states will be withdrawn and which regions will be incorporated, and the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of each state have been reorganized and confirmed.

After Xiao Rui personally reviewed it, he approved the red grace, and the cabinet quickly drafted an imperial decree and promulgated it to the world.

At the same time, the state officials of the fourteen prefectures in Anbei were also re-planned. In the past, in order to stabilize Qimin, the old Qi officials were reused. Well, the rebellion has been reduced a lot.

Taking advantage of the evacuation of the state, it is also appropriate to plan the fourteen Anbei states at the same time.

The state evacuation work is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the weather has begun to cool down.

Xiao Rui set his sights on the franchise of coal mines again, and after discussing with several cabinet scholars, he prepared to take a bigger step, fully liberalize the number of franchises, and there is no limit on the number.

But the franchise cannot be canceled. Even if it is a blank sheet of paper, it is also a useful blank sheet of paper. Coal mines must be within the control of the imperial court, and coal mines need to be audited, managed and taxed.

There is no longer a limit on the number. People can obtain qualifications as long as they open mines according to the requirements of the court. However, if they want to evade taxes, the punishment will be very cruel.

In this way, coal mining can be fully liberalized to ensure coal production.

Of course, in order to prevent unscrupulous merchants from maliciously hoarding and raising prices in order to avoid excessive coal mine prices, Xiao Rui specially asked the Ministry of Accounts to set up a new department, which is similar to the Central Construction Department of the Great Xia Ministry of Industry. It is called the Price Department, which specializes in reviewing market prices. , especially strictly control items that are closely related to the people, such as salt prices, grain prices, coal mine prices, cotton prices, and so on.

Relying on the macro-control of the imperial court, the coal production has increased, and the price of coal mines has been controlled, so the price of coal mines will drop rapidly, so that the people can keep warm in the cold winter months.

Relying on the memory of his previous life, Xiao Rui worked hard to pass on the knowledge that could benefit Daxia, and watched quietly as Daxia grew stronger.

It won't be long before Da Xia stands up and sweeps across the world, the highlight moment of unifying all wastelands.
