6 min read1,382 words

The Island of Evil Horse, in the House of Evil.

People are gathering together to discuss government affairs and the situation

on the island.

Sitting at the top of the lobby is the Queen of the Horse, Chiba Oriko. As the

fifteenth generation, she has governed evil horses for more than 20 years.

Before Dongsheng publicly conspired to rebellion, the kingdom was considered

safe and secure. But after experiencing the competition from many forces, she

was obviously a little weak, her body was thinning for a few laps, and the

number of openings in meetings became less and less, more often she let

trusted people make decisions for herself.

May Haruka is one of them.

Although she had returned to her homeland a month ago, returning to Yixie

Mansion was the first time since she went to the mainland.

Compared with a year ago, there were obviously a lot more people attending the

meeting, and the voices were also much noisy. This shows that the situation is

changing in a good direction-Dongsheng’s momentum is no longer at the

beginning, even if it can’t achieve a complete victory in a short period of

time, The rebellious princes will be completely wiped out, but at least Yixie

and the surrounding areas will no longer be threatened by the enemy.

However, there was no trace of joy in her heart.

The topic soon turned to the issue of population migration.

"Your Majesty, I don't think this can go on anymore." A middle-aged man

wearing a gray long coat took the lead and said, "Jinxia requires that 20,000

people be relocated every year, and there are thousands of them in each town.

Send them away. Who will cultivate the fields? Who will defend the kingdom?

Besides, Jinxia is just a city. Can it really accept so many outsiders? The

officials and people under my rule are already anxious, for fear that they

will be detained. Victims of the transaction, in the event of an accident, the

minister would be completely shameless to face your Majesty."

Wu Yueyao set his sights on this person-Masaru Fujiwara, one of the princes of

the Emas Kingdom, and the administrator of the Pali Land north of Ix, is

considered to be the core figure supporting the Great Miko.

After he took the lead, other participants also responded.

"Yeah...Thousands of people are not easy to find. The battle with Dongsheng

had lost a lot of young people. Now a lot of land is deserted. Can you wait

for a few years to start the migration?"

"Aren't we going to be short of people in a few years? I don't think this

agreement should be signed at all!"

"Master Qi, this is a bit too much, after all, they did help us repel the

enemy's attack."

"Why don't you ask Master May to talk to the other side and increase the

amount of silver as compensation?"

"You will pay for the extra money? I just can't afford that much money

anyway."

Suddenly, there was noisy in the hall.

The Queen of Evil Horse just sat on the sidelines and watched, and did not

come forward to interfere with the disputes of the people. It seems to her

that such arguments are conducive to the balance of power.

At this time, a white-haired old man brought the topic to Wu Yueyao, "Master

May, I don't know what you think?"

His opening silenced the discussion.

As an assistant to the queens of the past, the Yuan family has always been a

prominent family in the evil horse kingdom. Although the current Patriarch

Yuanjiuji is old, he is still Chiba Zhizi's most trusted minister of the

humerus.

"The connection with Jinxia is on you alone. It can be said that no one here

knows Jinxia better than you." He touched his beard and said unhurriedly, "You

think if we want to modify the alliance treaty, What kind of reaction will

there be?"

In Mayyao's mind, the people of Jinxia City couldn't help but appear.

Especially Mrs. Xia who gave her a glimmer of hope when she was desperate.

There is no doubt that the other party is the friendliest ruler she has ever

seen.

She couldn't imagine Jinxia meeting with evil horses in turn.

"Probably... will be disappointed," Wu Yueyao said softly.

"Puff—disappointment? What is that?"

"Ahem, did Master May say that the other party would only get sulking?"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

"That's it?" Yuanjiu frowned, "Do you think they will not take any sanctions,

or will they support Dongsheng or Anjia instead?"

"I think... this possibility is very low." Wu Yue said frankly, "Jinxia needs

to deal with the pressure brought by the privy government of the other five

countries, and has no energy to take care of the evil horse kingdom for the

time being. Of course, such a breach of contract will also make us completely

lose the mainland. Allies."

After a moment of silence in the venue, a voice rang, "Then what else should

we worry about?"

This sentence was like the voice of the people, and it caused a wave in an

instant.

"But we can't express our attitude so straightforwardly. We still need to buy

some more weapons." Fujiwara cleared his throat and said, "Master May, you may

need to trouble you to run more at this point."

"What about the commercial port? It is always a good thing to be able to do

business."

"We can first send a group of envoys or monks to Qiguo to promote the evil

horse. Now that the channel is open, even if Jinxia cuts off diplomatic

relations with us afterwards, we can't help the merchants below."

Wu Yueyao looked at Her Majesty the Queen, "Do you think it is really good to

do this...?"

"Hey..." Chiba Zhizi finally changed her posture and sighed, "Evil horses also

have the difficulties of evil horses. Repairing war-damaged towns requires

silver and manpower, and the fields also need farmers to cultivate, and the

silver can be evenly distributed. Some came out, but it was really hard to get

the manpower. And you mentioned that Jinxia is at war with the Qi royal

family, and the Privy Council of neighboring countries is also about to move.

How can you let everyone relax."

"What if I can convince everyone?"

These words were like stones thrown into the water, and ripples suddenly

appeared in the crowd.

Ignoring those whispers, May stood up and looked straight at Fujiwara

Masayoshi, "Fujiwara-sama, can you really not have a thousand people in your

territory? I didn't come to Yixie the first time after I returned to Yixie, UU

reading www .uukanshu.com is to go around the area to check the situation on

the ground. There are a large number of farmers in your territory who have

lost their land, and the number is more than a thousand? But they are all

controlled by big landlords and families, and they are not farming day after

day. The farmland that belongs to them, am I right?"

"Master May, is there any problem with this? I can't force them to hand over

all the people they buy, right? Besides, the good land will be abandoned if it

is not planted. In order to avoid famine, of course, my territory must

continue to maintain production. OK."

"But what I see is that the residents of Xiacheng district are all yellow and

thin, and they don't seem to be satisfied with food and clothing, and the

estimated output of farmland even exceeds all the needs of the Bali area."

Mayyao raised her voice." Excuse me, where did all the extra food go? It's

impossible for them to fly away!"

Masaru Fujiwara's face sank.

The two attendants behind him also stared angrily, revealing an expression of

insult to death.

And Wu Yueyao was unmoved, and said to herself, "In fact, everyone here knows

where the food has gone-because this kind of thing not only happened under the

rule of Lord Fujiwara, but your usual practice. They all exist high In the

granary surrounded by the wall compound, waiting to be exchanged for other

more valuable materials, such as jewelry, such as muskets and ammunition! What

you lack is not people, but your greed!"
