I expected to come back to find a messy tent, but nothing inside had been touched.

What they looked like when they ran away, and what they saw when they came back.

"Is the Divine Dragon Kingdom really as good as they say? They haven't even entered our tent."

An old woman murmured.

They had expected to face numerous obstacles as they ventured deep into Northern Mongolia, but the Shenlong Kingdom's army moved in as if it were empty.

All of this is thanks to the misdeeds committed by Erchir and his gang.

They robbed the herders of all their cattle and sheep, causing the already fragile alliance to crumble.

Despite having a capital city, the Northern Mongol king is not hereditary. To be respected by the tribes, one must possess the qualities to command respect.

Examples include force, cattle and sheep, and grain.

Whoever can bring a good life to all the tribes will be the king of Northern Mongolia.

Now, the Northern Mongol King has lost the hearts of the various tribes.

The Northern Mongol King, whom all the people of Northern Mongolia talk about, seems to be passing away soon and will meet with God.

Zhao Qingyan's medicine not only injured the Northern King without him saying a word, but also caused him to be chilled after soaking in ice water for most of the day.

After drinking a lot of medicine to reduce internal heat, I was completely ruined.

After being crippled, he became even more irritable.

Previously, the women in the palace were all trying their best to perform, but now, who among them is fearless enough to step forward?

The atrocities committed by Erqir and his party spread throughout the entire tribe.

Everyone says it was Erqir and Gobifu's shameful affair that angered the gods, who then sent down punishment.

If the Northern Mongol King does not give an explanation to the various tribes and the entire Northern Mongol people, then there will be no more Northern Mongol King.

This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The King of Northern Mongolia suddenly passed out and never woke up again.

Meanwhile, Echir, who had been betrayed and abandoned by everyone, was transformed into the King of Northern Mongolia through the machinations of the Grand Consort.

However, his ascension to the throne was truly a joke.

The national treasury had long been looted by Zhao Qingyan.

Want to recruit soldiers and buy horses? Want to stockpile grain and buy livestock? Haha, without money, it's all in vain.

The Queen Dowager's meager savings for her funeral, combined with the wealth Erchir had amassed from the people over the years, were insufficient to cover the expenses of the entire palace.

So Erchir did the most shameful thing for the Northern Mongol royal family: he auctioned off the Northern Mongol king's women.

Fortunately, this guy wasn't so heartless as to auction off his own mother as well.

The tribal leaders had long coveted the women of the former Northern Mongol King.

Naturally, they didn't hesitate and bought all the women.

This is not to say that they themselves were particularly lustful, but rather that these women all came from the royal palace.

Naturally, they would know more or less about what happened in the palace.

The tribes were about to rebel. The more than one hundred sons of the former Northern Mongol king were also about to rebel.

Internal strife erupted instantly.

By the time the Divine Dragon Kingdom's army leisurely arrived at the capital of Northern Mongolia, there was no need for a fight. They could simply take the capital.

The result of a hundred schools of thought contending is that no one benefits.

The capital city no longer even has a guard.

Erchir and his lover Gobiv had long since become victims of his brothers' swords.

The powerful and influential Grand Consort was taken away by her former lover on the very day Erqir was killed, and her whereabouts are unknown.

Wu Tong's army easily captured the capital of Northern Mongolia and completely occupied Northern Mongolia.

Now that we have occupied it, the first thing we must do is to confiscate the treasures in the capital and transport them back to the Divine Dragon Kingdom.

The royal palace at this time was nowhere to be seen; it had lost all its former glory.

While it may not be quite a complete ruin, the phrase "bare walls and bare ground" would be a fitting description.

Anything of value had already been moved out.

Wu Tong felt deeply saddened.

So all I got was an empty shell, a completely worthless shell.

So, he looked at Zhao Qingyan with hopeful eyes.

Zhao Qingyan naturally understood Wu Tong's meaning and leisurely went to the treasure vault.

After running around inside for a while, he took out four-fifths of the things he had previously smuggled.

This four-fifths naturally includes the portion distributed among the cavalry.

It's perfectly reasonable for her to take one-fifth; without her, the Northern Mongol palace would be an empty shell, with nothing left.

As for the items in the treasure vault in the old Northern Mongol king's bedroom, do not take them out.

That was originally a private possession. With these people, it would probably take them another twenty years to find the exact location.

However, Zhao Qingyan still wanted to know exactly how badly the Northern Mongol Palace had been ransacked.

Inside the former Northern Mongol King's bedroom, the words she spray-painted on the wall are still there.

However, the four-poster bed inside was long gone, and the door to the secret room had long been opened.

Zhao Qingyan secretly rejoiced; not bad, not bad, someone had taken the blame for her.

Wu Tong excitedly ordered people to count the number of treasures and register them. According to the rules, they could save 30% for their own use.

Therefore, he is now extremely grateful to Zhao Qingyan.

Wu Tong mentions Zhao Qingyan's deception here.

Zhao Qingyan did indeed know a little, though only superficially. Nevertheless, it was enough to amaze Wu Tong and the others.

"These are all skills I learned from my godfather, and they should not be used casually unless absolutely necessary. General Wu, please don't make things difficult for me."

I am just a young woman who has not yet reached adulthood, and I am not capable of shouldering the great cause of the nation that the general spoke of.

If my father weren't the magistrate of Dawar, I wouldn't bother with these trivial matters.

All I want is to live a life of three meals a day, enough to fill my stomach before I fall asleep.

"I have no ambition, no drive. If it weren't for a moment of kindness that led me to adopt those orphans, I wouldn't even bother trying to make money now."

Wu Tong really couldn't do anything about Zhao Qingyan, so he couldn't persuade her any further.

They have already helped preserve the treasury of Northern Mongolia.

Do we really need to ask them to use secret techniques again to help send the wealth back to the Divine Dragon Kingdom?

If he had to rely on this little girl for everything, then he, as the great general, would be utterly useless.

The 50,000 soldiers she brought were utterly useless. As a result, Zhao Qingyan was completely idle.

After Wu Tong took over the capital, a series of policies to ensure the well-being of the people followed.

The people allowed normal transactions, as long as they paid taxes normally, but the tax revenue was two-thirds less than before in northern Mongolia.

They contacted the leaders of various tribes to discuss various matters concerning their submission.

Trade was organized, commerce was permitted, and a post station was established every ten li (approximately 5 kilometers).

Or it could be a small farmers' market.

This prevented the northern Mongols from going hungry due to lack of food.

We encourage afforestation; for every acre of land reclaimed, one acre of forest must be planted.

The benefits include windbreak and sand fixation, preventing grassland desertification. It can also increase the income of herders.

After all, the trees planted are permitted to be fruit trees.

Putting aside other things, apples and plums are very suitable for planting.

The pastoralists' settlements have become fixed, rather than being nomadic.

Pastures are divided according to the number of herders.

In the future, that piece of land will belong to the herders. Whether you choose to farm it or continue raising horses, cattle, and sheep is entirely up to you.
