Shangguan Xiu told Shangguan Hong the story of his family being demoted from Beijing and sent to Zhen County, and then talked about his own experiences over the years.
Everyone was frightened when they heard that he was knighted one day for rescuing the driver, and then deranked the next day because of the new king's succession.
Shangguan Hongdu, Shangguan Qingyan, and Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei should be Ziyin.
Shangguanxiu never wanted to mention these experiences to anyone, and it was only when he met relatives of the same clan that he told the story in such detail.
When he finished speaking, Shangguan Hong was sweating for him.
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, patted Shangguan Xiu on the shoulder and said, "Axiu, you are alone in Feng Country.
It's really hard for you."
Shangguanxiu asked curiously: "Great uncle, how have you been living in Tia these years?"
Shangguan Hong laughed.
The Shangguan family's status in Tia has never been shaken, but it has gradually shifted from the bright side to the underground.
The Shangguan family is a hereditary marquis, and the current Shangguan Hongdu has the title of marquis.
In addition, the Shangguan family also hereditarily held the position of Finance Minister of Tia.
Now Tia's finance minister, Earl Helms, his birth name is Shangguan Hongyan, and he is the younger brother of Shangguan Hongdu.
For hundreds of years, the Shangguan family has been controlling Tia's currency issuance.
The Shangguan family's own gold and silver reserves are an important part of Tia's national gold and silver reserves.
The Shangguan family's long-term success in Tia is not only due to its own efforts, but also directly related to the family's control of Tia's economic lifeline.
Shangguan Hongdu said sternly to Shangguan Xiu: "Axiu, in the Feng Kingdom, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and one is always in danger of one's life, but that is not the case in Tia.
From now on, you should stay in Tia." héiyпgê Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "My home is in Zhenjun, and hundreds of thousands of Zhenjun army brothers are still in Zhenjun.
How can I stay in Tia?"
Shangguan Hongdu said quietly: "The descendants of the Shangguan family have made enough contributions to the Feng Kingdom.
Now the Feng Kingdom is riddled with holes, like a castle in the sky.
The building will collapse soon.
Axiu, you return to the Feng Kingdom."
What can I do?”
Shangguan Xiu said: "If Feng Kingdom collapses, is this really a good thing for Tia?
If Feng Kingdom collapses, will Tia really be free from foreign aggression from now on?
No, Bessa in the north, Ning in the southwest Nan, who doesn’t look at Tia covetously?
Even if Tia gets rid of Feng Kingdom’s rule, Besa and Ningnan will join them.
Invade and continue to rule Tia, and will their rule really be more enlightened than the rule of the Feng Kingdom?
I don’t think so.
Now under the rule of the Feng Kingdom, Tia can be autonomous to a large extent, and the rulers If it were to be Besa or Ningnan, there would be too many variables, but it would be difficult to get better.
I’m afraid it would only get worse.”
Shangguan Hong was really surprised that Shangguan Xiu could say such words.
He was only twenty years old, but he had such extraordinary vision, which was surprising.
The Tia court has had many discussions on the risk assessment after the fall of the Feng Kingdom, but as Shangguan Xiu said, once the Feng Kingdom dies, it will definitely not be a good thing for Tia.
Bessa and Ning Nandu may invade, and Tia may even become a battlefield between Besa and Ningnan, bringing devastating disaster to Tia.
Shangguan Hongdu said slowly: "It's just that the decline of Feng State has shown the trend of collapse.
Now the court of Feng State is replaced by the old and the new, and it is turbulent.
There are rebellions in Feng State, and the court is helpless.
There is also the outside of Feng State.
There is Ning in the west.
In the south, we are recharging our strength and getting ready to go.
In the north, Bessa is stationing troops on the border with evil intentions.
Who can save the Feng Kingdom now?"
"I" Shangguan Xiu didn't even think about it and immediately continued, "Feng Kingdom was not only founded by the Holy Ancestor Emperor, but also built up by the heroes of the Shangguan family with their blood and sweat.

I will never allow Feng Kingdom to collapse in my generation."
If they are destroyed, I will not be able to see the ancestors of the Shangguan family."
"But, Axiu, how can you save it with only the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of your Zhenjun Army?"
Shangguan Hongdu asked slowly.
"In the national war, the local army's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are not worth mentioning at all, so I came to Tia."
Shangguanxiu took a deep breath and said: "I came to Tia, firstly, to find my relatives, and secondly, I came to Tia. , I’m also here to learn skills.”
"Xue Yi" Shangguan Hong couldn't help laughing and asked: "Axiu, what do you mean by "Xue Yi"?
"Tia's technology, all aspects of technology."
Shangguan Xiu said seriously.
Shangguan Hong rubbed his chin and murmured: "Is Tia's technique really worth learning?
The Feng Kingdom's court has always looked down on Tia's technique.
At first, it was said to be a black art, and later it was said to be a trivial skill of the barbarians in the wasteland, not worth it.
After all, the Feng Kingdom is a great kingdom, and it would be a laughing stock to learn skills from a small country."
Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Shangguan Xiu secretly sighed.
It seemed that the descendants of Yuan Rang's ancestors had really been assimilated by Tia.
Now they no longer have any sense of identity with the Feng Kingdom and are completely on Tia's side. speak from a standpoint.
He said seriously: "Uncle, I don't care what others say.
I only know that the only thing that can save Feng Kingdom now is Tia's advanced technology."
Shangguan Hongdu rubbed his chin, pondered for a long time, and said quietly: "This is just your family's opinion, not the intention of the Feng Kingdom's court."
"It's enough.
Even if it's just my family's words, it's enough to introduce Tia's technology to Zhenjun and fully develop it in Zhenjun."
Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Hongdu waved his hand and said: "Axiu, if it was a private matter, you would come all the way to Tia and ask your uncle for help, and your uncle would do his best to help you.
But now, you What we are here to discuss is state affairs.”
The implication is that what he requested has touched upon the fundamental interests between Fengguo and Tia.
It is not appropriate for Shangguan Xiu to discuss these matters in a private capacity.
"Great uncle" "Okay, Axiu, you haven't had lunch yet.
When you come to great uncle's house, it's like returning to your own home."
As he spoke, Shangguan Hongdu turned around and called: "Andrew."
"Sir."
Butler Andrew hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute.
"Go and arrange a banquet, and find Qingshan Qingyuan and the others.
It's a big deal for my Shangguan family that Axiu can come today."
"It's my lord."
The master was happy, and Andrew also looked excited.
He agreed and immediately went to organize the meeting.
Shangguan Hongdu had not only one daughter, Shangguan Qingyan, but also two sons, Shangguan Qingshan, Shangguan Qingyuan, and the youngest daughter, Shangguan Qingfang.
At the banquet, Shangguan Hongdu’s wife also appeared.
The old lady’s name was Sarah Adesti.
Just hearing the surname Adesti, one can tell that she was born in the Tia royal family.
It can also be seen from this that Titian The Ya royal family attaches great importance to the Shangguan family.
The old lady and Shangguan Hong are both about the same age, about fifty years apart.
Among their children, Shangguan Qingshan is the oldest, in his mid-twenties, tall and powerful.
Shangguan Qingyuan is the same age as Shangguan Xiu, and has a lively temperament.
Shangguan Qingfang is the youngest, only eleven or twelve years old at most, innocent and cute.
Shangguan Xiu met everyone one by one, and then sat down at the dining table one after another.

Shangguan Hongdu, as the head of the family, sat on the main seat in the middle.
Shangguan Xiu, as the honored guest, sat on his left.
Old lady Shala sat on his right.
Further back, there was Qingshan Qingyuan Qingyan.
Qingfang, and after that, Xiao Jue, Wu Yufei and others.
During the dinner, Shangguan Hong seemed very happy, chatting and laughing, and chatted with Shangguan Xiu about anecdotes about Shangguan's family in Tia.
Sara didn't talk much, but she was very attentive.
She was afraid that Shangguan Xiu and others were not used to using knives and forks, so she went out of her way to Ask the servant to prepare chopsticks.
Shangguan Qingshan is the elder brother and he is also very serious.
Shangguan Qingyuan was stable and cherished words like gold.
Shangguan Qingyuan was just the opposite.
He had a great time chatting with Shangguan Xiu.
As for Shangguan Qingfang, he was too young and felt scared and curious about Shangguan Xiu, a stranger who suddenly came to visit. , a pair of big black eyes kept rolling on him.
After finishing the meal, the feeling of strangeness among everyone became much closer.
Although everyone's appearance is completely different, one side is a typical Tia person, and the other side is an orthodox Feng person, but the bond of blood connection is unbreakable.
In addition, everyone in the Shangguan family can speak fluent Fengyu.
Even Sara is proficient in Fengyu, so there is no problem in communicating with each other.
While drinking tea after the meal, Shangguan Qingyuan sat next to Shangguan Xiu and said with a smile: "In this national war between Feng State and Ningnan, Feng State suffered a big loss because of its inferior skills.
Ningnan used it The old-fashioned firecrackers were completely defeated.
I heard that several legions of the Central Army were completely wiped out.
There are still hundreds of thousands of prisoners in Ningnan."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Shangguan Xiu was moved when he heard this.
Qingyuan said that Ningnan used an outdated fire gun, which meant that Tia had a more advanced weapon than the fire gun.
He asked curiously: "Qingyuan, Tia also has a fire blunderbuss."
If they were called according to seniority, Shangguan Xiu would have to call Shangguan Qingyuan grandpa, but since they were the same age, it would be too outrageous to call him that way, so Shangguan Hong just asked Shangguan Xiu to call him by his first name.
"Fire gun."
Qingyuan laughed when he heard this, looked at Qingshan, who was sitting aside, drinking tea silently, and said: "Back when mercury fulminate and fire hats were not invented, maybe it could still be called fire gun."
Guns, but with the development of technologies such as mercury flash caps and smooth rifling, they are no longer called fire guns, but muskets.”
"Musket" "Fireguns have too many problems.
They cannot be used in rainy days.
It is difficult to store gunpowder, and they often get damp.
In addition, the charging speed of the front chamber is too slow, which is not the case with muskets.
Without these problems, they can be used normally in rainy days.
There are also The advantages of the gun include its short body, long range and high power, etc. " Qingyuan talked about the muskets with all his treasures.
Many of the terms he used were ones that Shangguan Xiu had never heard of.
Qingshan put down the tea cup in his hand and said slowly: "But it is too difficult to make muskets.
With Feng Kingdom's technology, it is not bad to be able to make five ten-year-old guns in a year.
Even if it is to make simple fire guns, for Feng Kingdom, it is not bad."
It’s not an easy task either.”
Although his words were unpleasant, they were true.
This was why Shangguan Xiu traveled all the way to Tia to introduce technology
