Wan'er continued: "The third report is also from Master. It reports on the harvest of this battle in Yingnan. This time, a total of thirty-one sixth-level crystal cores, ten thousand of fifth-level crystal cores, and 120,000 fourth-level crystal cores were harvested. , the third level is more than one million, the second level is more than 3.7 million, and the first level is more than 700,000."

The only eighth-order crystal core, Qi Yun had already retracted into the space after destroying the opponent.

"Isn't it right? Are the number of sixth-level, fifth-level, and fourth-level zombie monsters so small?"

Wan'er said: "The number of fourth-, fifth- and sixth-level zombie monsters far exceeds the number of crystal nuclei, but those zombie monsters that sacrificed their lives have turned into piles of corpse fat and ashes. When the soldiers cleaned the battlefield, they did not find it. Crystal core.”

Qi Yun nodded.

Also, the crystal core is the energy core of the zombie monster. Since he has sacrificed his own energy, the crystal core will naturally not be retained.

Compared with Anping City, the proportion of mid-level zombies in Yingchuan City is obviously higher (1-3 is low level, 4-6 is mid-level, 7-9 is high level, 10-12 is top level, zombies are King 13th level).

Is it because the "angel" provided them with a way to advance quickly?

But this method of improvement through sacrifice is obviously not a good idea.

"Angel" doesn't seem to have any good intentions towards these corpse monsters under his control.

One part of Qi Yun's consciousness was lost in thought, and the other part of her consciousness said to Shangguan Wan'er, "Keep talking."

Shangguan Wan'er: "This fourth piece of information is also submitted by Master. I want to ask Your Majesty to restore the rewards of the title of military commander."

Qi Yun frowned slightly, "Why?"

Wan'er said: "Noble titles are used by emperors to reward military generals for their heroic deeds in fighting on the battlefield. Although His Majesty has set military ranks and granted them training resources according to their level of merit, only when a person is alive can he exchange merit for resources. If he dies on the battlefield, Meritorious service is of no use."

"If there is no shadow of death, everyone will still be afraid to move forward. If this continues, it will be detrimental to the war."

"In the past, Your Majesty swept through the battlefield with his own strength. Everyone hid behind you and had no fear of their lives. Naturally, they had no face to ask for titles and rewards from you."

"But now that the mecha army has taken shape, many talented warriors in the base have begun to practice their skills. In the future, there will inevitably be casualties when killing enemies on the battlefield."

"If there is no reward that can benefit future generations, the soldiers will inevitably be disappointed."

"This is not because the generals are greedy, but because human nature is like this. Nowadays, everyone's life is better, and many people have already started families and established careers. With worries about their future, it is inevitable that they will be greedy for life and afraid of death."

Qi Yun smiled, "If you have any worries, then we can improve the treatment for the widows of soldiers who died on the battlefield, but I must abolish this old system of knighthood!"

Seeing the puzzled look on Wan'er's face, Qi Yun said: "Want to know the reason?"

Shangguan Wan'er immediately saluted uprightly: "Your Majesty, please give me some advice."

Qi Yun said: "When a dynasty was first established, the emperor would knight the generals who fought for him. At that time, the number of nobles was the smallest, and they naturally had no impact on the empire."

"But as time goes by, there are more and more nobles. Old titles can be passed down from generation to generation, and the number of people who have made new military exploits and joined this group is constantly increasing. The descendants of these nobles, as long as they do not commit any crimes, If they are guilty of treason, then the country must support them until they perish."

"So, whenever a dynasty comes to an end, there will be a phenomenon where princes are everywhere and their honors are as abundant as rain."

"The nobles are able to do business and buy land, and can enjoy tax exemptions or even no taxes. This has resulted in less and less land and shops for the country to collect taxes, and less and less money for the court to control. The national treasury is empty. How can we build a strong empire? "

"Take Dayu as an example. The early nobles were rewarded with land, but the newly promoted warriors later did not have land rewards because the empire no longer had any extra land to grant them."

What Qi Yun said was not nonsense.

As early as when Yingnan City was just taken, Di Renjie came to see her.

He sorted out the official documents sealed in the Yamen of Yingnan Prefecture over the years, read them one by one, wrote a policy statement, and personally presented it to Qi Yun.

Di Renjie compared Yingnan's tax files over the years and found that Dayu's tax revenue has become less and less in recent years.

Combined with the situation in the DPRK and the Central Government at that time, as well as some of the people's livelihood facts he saw when he was the county magistrate in Zicheng, he wrote nearly a thousand words eloquently, directly reviewing the entire situation before the arrival of the Dayu plague for Qi Yun.

When the late emperor was still alive, due to treacherous ministers who misled the country in his early years, the government was in the hands of villains, and the national treasury was always in serious deficit.

When taxes are collected from various places, in addition to the necessary military expenditures and official salaries, the rest is to pay salaries to the huge group of nobles. After these expenditures are deducted, the last little money left will be used for the palace. Daily expenses.

At that time, not to mention the palaces and royal gardens in various places, even the palace where the emperor lived needed to be repaired, but it was often delayed again and again because the Ministry of Revenue could not come up with the money.

Only some palaces that are frequently used will maintain normal maintenance frequency, while other palaces are left to fall into disrepair.

The expenses for each concubine have been reduced again and again. Many high-ranking concubines rely on subsidies from their parents' families, and low-level concubines cannot even have enough to eat.

Under such circumstances, Dayu could not withstand any natural or man-made disasters, and his military armaments could only be maintained as they were. The soldiers' pay would not be fully paid until one or two months. If another country attacked, the outcome would be Lose more and win less.

Qi Yun was very emotional when she saw this.

People only saw that the emperor was bright and beautiful, and was worshiped and respected by thousands of people.

But who knows the helplessness and bitterness of the emperor when a dynasty is approaching its end?

Moreover, the late emperor was kind-hearted and did not want to increase taxes on the people. If the palace is broken, just break it.

Even after he came to power, he notified his mother Qi Yuening that he wanted to build moon temples in various places, but he spent the little money he had left in his treasury to build them.

The late emperor was definitely not incompetent. Being able to remove the treacherous officials around him as a puppet emperor was enough to show his ability.

But Dayu was treated too harshly by the previous emperors, leaving little time for the former emperors to turn the tide.

However, it took the former emperor ten years to put down the traitors in the court!

After all, he was a powerless puppet emperor in an environment of internal and external troubles. No matter how talented he was, he had to cultivate his confidants step by step and unite the royalist forces before he could gradually eradicate dissidents.

Ten years is already a long time, and he has no system.

However, the government affairs were delayed for ten years, and the Kingdom of Yu was actually at the end of its rope.

The situation at that time, if there was another drought or flood, causing a peasant uprising, or an invasion by a foreign enemy, it would become the trigger and bring about the complete destruction of Dayu.

However, Dayu’s inducement for the country’s subjugation was quite big——

Apocalyptic plague.

This can no longer be regarded as a fuse. This is a nuclear bomb directly dropped on Dayu!

Therefore, the Kingdom of Dayu died without even holding on for half a month!

If Qi Yun hadn't come through and activated the system plug-in, the last heir to their royal family would also be in trouble!

The only person who delivers the edict will also die on the way with the edict.

It's so cool!
