Naturally, the leaders would not be willing to accept such a series of decrees, as it would be tantamount to stripping them of their authority.
But Wu Tong is good at bluffing.
What is the purpose of becoming a leader?
They worry about things that others can't keep up with, worrying that they won't have enough meat to eat, worrying that they'll freeze to death in the winter. How tiring is that?
There is no leader now, but it can be divided into prefectures, counties, towns, and even villages.
You all become officials through elections.
For example, the candidate who can run for office now is the town mayor.
They received a government salary, and their children could participate in the imperial examinations.
After passing the exam and obtaining a minor official position, there are many places one can go; why should one remain stuck on this vast grassland?
Once you step outside, besides your own family, visiting a neighbor would practically require a whole day's journey on horseback. How tiring!
In the Divine Dragon Kingdom, it's different. As long as you have money, you can have servants at your beck and call, travel by sedan chair or carriage, and live a very comfortable life. You can eat delicacies from land and sea and wear fine silks and satins.
"Isn't that better than eating only beef and mutton all day long?"
Which leader doesn't have money? Impossible, they're all wealthy.
Finally, those who couldn't resist the persuasion asked the question they most wanted to ask.
"Is it really possible to live in the Divine Dragon Kingdom?"
The answer is definitely yes.
Indeed, some leaders abandoned their lives on the grasslands and moved their entire families to the Divine Dragon Kingdom to live a simpler life.
As for how to make a living in the Divine Dragon Kingdom, the simplest way is to buy land.
Then they hire people to farm the land, since they have plenty of cattle anyway.
Wouldn't it be better to be a wealthy man?
Your own children can go to school and study. As long as they study well, they will naturally be able to take the imperial examinations.
The prospects are incredibly bright.
Having learned about Wu Tong's persuasive skills, Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but admire Wu Tong for choosing the wrong profession.
He was clearly cut out to be a diplomat, but he ended up joining the army.
After confirming that Wutong was safe and that she could handle her relationships with the locals with ease, Zhao Qingyan spurred her horse and rode away.
Is the kang (heated brick bed) at home not warm enough, or is the food at home not tasty enough?
During her time on the grassland, Zhao Qingyan noticed a significant deterioration in her skin condition.
After returning to Dawar and spending a few days with her family, Zhao Qingyan went to Kenqing City. She couldn't neglect her fiancé, no matter who she was neglecting.
On this day, Zhao Qingyan arrived at the county government office in Kenqing City.
As a result, the yamen runner at the gate told her to wait while he went in to announce her arrival.
This is interesting. When Zhao Qingyan and her group were in the Kenqingcheng County Government Office, everyone who came in and out knew her.
What? She's only been away from Kenqing City for a little over a month, less than two months, and the county government in Kenqing City has already changed so much?
Zhao Qingyan ignored the constable's instructions and followed him inside as he went to announce the news.
To avoid trouble, Zhao Qingyan walked on the roof.
When they reached the roof of the room where Xu Dongsheng's office was located, Zhao Qingyan stopped.
After removing the roof tiles, thankfully, the house didn't have a suspended ceiling yet.
A girl in pink was standing in front of Xu Dongsheng, tears streaming down her face.
"Brother Dongsheng, Wanzhen admires you."
Ever since the first time I saw you parade through the streets as the top scholar in the imperial examination, Wanzhen has been enamored with Brother Dongsheng.
My father was the Duke who protected the country, and my uncle was the current emperor.
If Brother Dongsheng were to marry Wanzhen, I'm sure my father and the current emperor wouldn't want to see him suffer here.
Could it be that Brother Dongsheng really likes the bitter cold of the North?
Wanzhen didn't believe it.
Zhao Qingyan, who was lying on the roof, almost vomited from Han Wanzhen's witty remarks.
"Does this brat even know what she's saying?"
This is her half-brother! Oh my god, everything's gone wrong, this is terrible!
Zhao Qingyan continued watching the show, then suddenly raised an eyebrow.
"Who knows how many admirers have been swooning over this kid while I was away, humph!"
Looking at the pretty girl in front of him, Xu Dongsheng really wanted to slap her away.
"Miss, please don't joke about this county. Your uncle is the Emperor? Does that mean you're the princess's biological daughter?"
Xu Dongsheng is just stabbing where it hurts.
If this girl hadn't come to him of her own accord, he would have completely forgotten that he had sent Han Xuri to investigate his scumbag father.
The fact that this girl still dares to mention her scumbag father shows what? It shows that Han Xuri has failed in his duties.
It's been months and we still haven't found any evidence to wipe out that scumbag and that wet nurse. It's infuriating!
"They must be a couple," Zhao Qingyan, who was perched on the roof, also thought of this question.
"Hmph, with such poor work skills, my younger brother should at least reduce that idiot's share of the sewing machine profits by 20%."
Zhao Qingyan muttered to herself,
Han Xuri, who was riding at full speed towards the north, sneezed several times in a row.
The guards were so frightened that they tried to put a cloak on him.
Han Wanzhen looked embarrassed after hearing Xu Dongsheng's words.
“How could Wanzhen be the princess’s biological daughter? Your Highness is the first wife, and my mother is the second wife.”
Xu Dongsheng gave a meaningful "Oh".
"I thought you were the princess's biological daughter."
If she's the princess's biological daughter, she should at least be a county princess. So, the young lady is the daughter of a second wife.
Presumably, your father was stripped of his title of Imperial Son-in-Law after he remarried, right?
Miss, please don't disrupt the proper order.
The prince consort was a man who married into the princess's household.
If your father continues to remain chaste for the princess, then he still has some relationship with her.
But I heard that the Duke of Huguo not only married a second wife, but also had several concubines. He must have been divorced by the royal family long ago.
Then your father will no longer have anything to do with the princess, let alone the emperor.
"Miss, please don't try to make up connections like that again. Impersonating royalty is a capital offense."
After Xu Dongsheng finished speaking, Zhao Qingyan almost burst out laughing, while Han Wanzhen's face turned pale.
Her hasty trip to the north to find Xu Dongsheng was certainly partly due to love at first sight.
More importantly, she overheard her own father and aunt talking.
"What do you mean by being careful in everything? If someone investigates again and the events of that year are uncovered, your entire family will be executed."
Although Han Wanzhen was a bit arrogant, she could still distinguish between what was important and what was not.
She hid carefully and didn't dare to move until her father and aunt left, then she quietly returned to her room.
Later, when I got really worried, I told my mother what I had heard.
Even if the Duchess came from a humble background, she had gained experience and knowledge in managing the Duke's mansion over the years due to her high position.
They arranged for someone to secretly follow the Duke of Huguo and his concubine.
The most likely crime to result in the extermination of nine generations of one's family was the death of the princess.
After finally figuring things out, Mrs. Qiu was nearly scared to death.
Upon learning that her daughter was in love with Xu Dongsheng, she arranged for her daughter to run away from home, and her own son faked his death.
Because all her children had died in accidents, she began to feign madness and anger the Duke of Huguo in various ways, not for any other reason than to get a divorce or be divorced.
It's said that when women get ruthless, men have nothing to do with them.
To save her life, Qiu was desperate.
