Lin Rui knew what he meant, but he just smiled and said nothing. If this world followed the same path as his modern world, these alien races would be part of the same nation as them thousands of years from now.
Fifty-six nationalities and fifty-six flowers!
Xing Lie became the final winner in the fight for the world, and the entire Lin Dynasty was in ruins.
Xing Lie changed the country's name to Tianqi and established the Xing Dynasty. He made his father Xing Changyuan the emperor, Xu Qingwu the empress, and the Xu family the emperor's uncles. All of them became royal relatives.
Han Wenjing, Xu Shaoxuan, Chen Zhidong, Lin Pingyu and other staff members were all rewarded according to their merits.
One by one they were promoted to higher positions and some were granted titles of nobility.
Lin Rui was even granted the hereditary title of Marquis of Jingfeng to highlight his contributions to the Xing Dynasty.
In the first year of the Tianqi reign, a general amnesty was declared. Taxes were readjusted, with some incidental taxes and levies reduced or exempted, and the main taxes levied were replaced.
The Lin Dynasty was really rotten to the core. You wouldn't know until you checked. Once you checked, you would be shocked. The heavy taxes and levies imposed on the people meant that less than 10% of their crops fell into their hands.
Plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand in autumn. Even if there is no idle land in the world, farmers still starve to death.
This poem "Song of Pity the Peasants" which Lin Rui learned to recite when he was in school actually depicts the difficult and miserable lives of the common people.
Fortunately, he is a person who has a say in the new world. He reduced the taxes on the people to 60%, started a commercial tax model, applied modern concepts, encouraged trade, opened schools, and supervised learning.
Schools do not only teach imperial examinations. Martial arts, literature, and the science of alchemy are also taught to young children, encouraging them to think divergently and dare to think and act.
The history of the Dragon Dynasty in the parallel world taught a painful lesson: closing the country to the outside world will only make the country fall behind. If a country does not accept or study new things, it will end up like a frog in a well and be attacked and looted.
Thousands of years of culture have created an ancient civilization in the East, and this magnificent heritage should be passed down. It will be the people of generations to come who will protect this heritage.
If we want to keep up with the rest of the nations, we can only arm ourselves with weapons and force.
When another country says you have some terrible weapon, you better have it!
The Lin family was granted the title of Marquis, and their status was transformed. Furthermore, Lin Rui was a favorite of the current emperor, and from then on, high-ranking officials entered and exited the Lin family. Lin Rui personally created a family of wealth and prosperity, and took the second-generation Marquisate master, Lin Mu, under his wing to teach him.
Lin Mu has become much more stable since he entered the academy. He followed his uncle and interacted with court officials, learning a lot about being an official. Knowing that his uncle valued him so much, he studied diligently to enrich himself and did not dare to slack off.
Instead, his uncle patted him on the shoulder when he saw him like this and told him not to be like this. Life is only a few decades long, so he should just do what he wants.
Unbeknownst to his uncle, Lin Mu had always wanted to be like him. He had concealed his identity at the academy because of his uncle, studying as an ordinary person. He heard most about his uncle's brilliant deeds, and countless people dreamed of becoming the next Lin Rui. But throughout history, Lin Mu felt that no one could match his uncle's extraordinary talent.
Niu Niu and Qing Qing, who was still ignorant, were also conferred the title of princess at the request of their uncle and were promised the freedom to choose their own marriage. From then on, their status became extremely noble, and their parents' status also rose.
Lin's relatives also benefited from Lin Rui's rapid success. They moved to the imperial city and owned a large piece of land on which they could build their own houses. The Lin's workshop is now known throughout the world.
Lin Zixing was originally supposed to be in Huangmo Pass. After he returned home and explained everything, Lin Rui still used his connections to place Lin Zixing in the safer logistics department of the Xing family army as a minor official. The salary he received was enough to support his family, and with the allowance from his parents, he could live a comfortable life.
But when they learned that their eldest son Lin Mu was about to take over Lin Rui's position as Marquis, Lin Zixing and Lan Xin could no longer sit still. Their Lin family really wanted to inherit the high position. Huang Dou and Hei Dou were also the blood of the Lin family. There was no reason for them not to compete.
Huang Dou and Hei Dou in his family have been extremely smart since childhood and have been at the top of their class in their studies. Lin Rui is really the one who should give the three of them a fair chance to compete!
As a result, the decision was made without even mentioning it to them.
It was useless for Lin Zixing and Lan Xin to make a fuss in front of their parents. Now this was the mansion of Marquis Jingfeng, not the Lin family. The housekeeper would take care of all matters, big and small. They just needed to eat, drink, have fun in the mansion and enjoy their old age.
All matters in the outside world have been handled by the housekeeper and servants. Xiaoping and Xiaoan have also been sold their indentures. Recently, Feng Zhenniang and Sister Lin are preparing to arrange a marriage for the two.
Lin Zixing and Lan Xin's plan failed. Lin Rui really did what he said and said that he would let Lin Mu succeed him. Then the position of Marquis of Jingfeng would belong to him.
When later archaeologists conducted research on the Xing Dynasty, they saw Emperor Xing Lie, who was the bravest and longest-lived emperor in history, and Lin Rui, the Marquis of Jingfeng, who was the most capable of making money and promoting construction for the dynasty.
After the Xing Dynasty stabilized, the cement invented by Jingfeng Hou began to be used in various official roads, making the Xing Dynasty's transportation more well-connected and convenient, and commercial trade with surrounding countries also became prosperous.
Things like soap, glass and canned goods became royal property, and dividends were distributed to Marquis Jingfeng every year.
The schools they founded eliminated the dross and taught the essence of a strong and prosperous country. They opened schools in various industries and hired experienced masters to educate the children.
The Xing Dynasty was also the first country in history to have made great voyages. It discovered overseas tribes, brought back overseas seeds, discovered overseas countries, understood the development process of overseas weapons, spent huge sums of money to purchase them and bring them back to the dynasty for study and research, and established military factories and schools.
In this way, it has kept pace with the times. There has been no humiliating invasion in history after the Xing Dynasty. The world will eventually divide after a long period of unity, and will eventually unite after a long period of division. However, the mission of these cultures has been passed down, and every generation of monarchs knows the importance of weapons innovation.
The Xing Dynasty was one of the most brilliant dynasties in ancient civilization. Many archaeologists are very interested in Jingfeng Hou, who single-handedly changed the cultural focus of the Xing Dynasty, but all the information about him found in history books is official.
All we know is that he never married and left no children. When he died, the Xing Dynasty buried him with the highest etiquette, and the people mourned him.
Subsequent novels and film and television dramas all begin with the story of Jingfeng Hou Lin Rui traveling through time to support Xing Lie in his massacre. Jingfeng Hou is a classic template of a time traveler, and any protagonist in a time travel novel must check in on his existence.
The cultural treasures left by the Xing Dynasty have been passed down. Thousands of years later, there is a special museum in modern times. The unearthed cultural relics, books, and portraits of Jingfeng Hou during his lifetime have been preserved intact, witnessing the splendor of the ancient feudal dynasty!
