Chapter 48 (1/2)

”Sir, do you know the origin of Yan's imperial clan?”

”Naturally, Yan is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. After King Jifa of Wu, he was orthodox in China. I don't know why his highness asked?”

Le Yi has some doubts. He doesn't understand why the childe of the state of Qin asked these questions?

”Ha ha, you are really talented and learned. Yes, Yan is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and the world is authentic. If you go back to it, you can even have a history of thousands of years, which is amazing.”

Ying Ji says with a smile that Le Yi thought the young master Ying Ji had given up soliciting himself, but he did not expect Ying Ji to speak again.

”As Mr. Yan said, Yan is a descendant of Ji surname, and a descendant of Yellow Emperor. It is the orthodoxy in the hearts of people in the world. But precisely because of this, Yan is also the most conservative country in the world.”

”Since the three kingdoms were divided into Jin Dynasty and the world entered into a world of great controversy, all countries have carried out reforms in their own countries in order to preserve and strengthen their country. However, Yan state is the only country that still keeps the ancient system.”

”Among all the countries in the world, except Yan state, they have abandoned the patriarchal system one after another. The officials of the imperial court are assumed by talented scholars, which breaks the situation that only the relatives of the same ancestry can serve as state officials. However, the state of Yan remains unchanged.”

”Although the king of Yan had the heart to become a powerful country, he had no choice but to have a serious aristocratic political phenomenon. The aristocrats who had been enfeoffed in order to strengthen their rule have now become moths blocking the country's power.”

”Even if the king of Yan wanted to reform, the nobles in Yan kingdom would certainly stop him.”

”However, if the aristocrats still want to think about it, they will fall apart in a moment.”

”And even if we retreat ten thousand steps further, the king of Yan and the aristocrats in China all support the reform, but the various conditions of Yan state have already restricted the development of Yan state, which is absolutely impossible.”

”Yan's own resources and land are barren, and there is a serious lack of iron ore. bronze mines can only ensure self-sufficiency. In addition, the Yan people only have 23 million, so the 300000 army supporting the state of Yan can be regarded as the limit!”

”Of course, if the king of Yan insists on his own way, he can still pull up an army of 500000 people, but the state of Yan at that time can be regarded as militarism.”

”The people simply can't support such a huge army, and they are separated from each other. The rule of Yan state will certainly not last long. I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will be no need for foreign countries to invade, and Yan will be in a mess.”

”Even if Mr. Yan becomes extremely rich, what if he has the wealth that attracts the eyes of the whole world, but he does not have the first-class military strength in the world. At that time, the state of Yan will only become a pig in the eyes of all the Warring States in the world. After fattening up, it will be slaughtered in one fell swoop!”

Ying Ji said faintly, but let Le Yi all over the body out of a cold sweat.

Once, Leyi just imagined how to make Yan powerful and show his talent, but he ignored such factors as politics, land, people, and the trend of the Warring States period.

Now when I think about it carefully, I find that I haven't considered it completely. Just as the young master Ying Ji said, the state of Yan will certainly not develop and grow. Even if it is strong, it will be strong on the surface.

Without a vast territory of people and fertile land, it means that Yan can not have a strong army.

Even if the political reform is successful, it will not be able to protect the achievements. Then Yan will become a fat pig in the eyes of the Warring States, just as the young master Ying Ji said.

In addition, the aristocracy politics in Yan state is serious. It is not only the Yan state of the king of Yan. The aristocrats of Yan state can even control the state policy by uniting. Moreover, the aristocrats of Yan state are mainly of Ji family.

After a rootless duckweed like myself and a taxi who didn't support her after entering the state of Yan to help her become strong, I'm afraid she will be expelled again.
