Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"As far as I know, yes," General Yang said and then added, "But if you want the details, you should ask my brother. He knows more about this."

Minister Yang might be staying in the army with General Yang, but he was still paying close attention to the development of other cities around the border. After all, it would be inevitable for war to affect the other cities nearby.

Moreover, it was through the support of these cities nearby that General Yang was able to protect the north border so far. There was no way that he could protect the north border if it was not for the resources that these cities nearby sent for them.

Fan Yi Kingdom's Emperor was really…

*sigh*

Thinking about the past, General Yang only wanted to vomit blood.

If Fan Yi Kingdom had not been conquered by Fei Yang Kingdom, he would not know that the treatment of soldiers in Fei Yang Kingdom was really good. As long as they continued to do their duties well, they didn't have to worry about their lives and all.

And if the general they followed achieved great merit, they and their family members would also live well.

The emperor support the army and provided a lot of weapons for them.

In comparison, Fan Yi Kingdom's Emperor barely cared for them. He only hoped that they produced result without giving much in return.

General Yang could only say that life was really difficult.

In order to maintain the army, he had no choice but to go towards the cities nearby that will be affected if the northern tribe broke in. They all knew that if the army couldn't hold on, they also couldn't live.

So without hesitation, they helped the army earned enough resources for them to live.

It was very touching.

And at the same time, General Yang felt that these people were the real 'heroes' who protected the north border. Without their sacrifice, it was impossible for the army to do their duties.

But their deeds could not be publicized.

Because where would they put Fan Yi Kingdom's Emperor's face if they were to spread this out?

Something that could smear the imperial family's name should not be spread out.

It could be a crime punishable by death.

General Yang didn't want to implicate these people, so he could only keep silent. The one who knew about this was his brother, so Minister Yang made sure to help these people in turn.

Many soldiers turned to become farmer when it was summer.

In his words, it could be training.

But for these people, it was the army repaying them. Though for them, it might not be necessary.

Song Yun Xiang saw General Yang's face and smiled. "Don't worry, I don't have any plan to let them support the army like before again."

The soldiers were keeping it a secret as much as possible, but how could it be possible for this matter to remain secret forever? It would definitely not be written down in history or passed down because this was a black history of the Imperial Family, but for the people in this era, this was something that they could talk behind closed doors.

Song Yun Xiang is a strategist and one of the most important thing for a strategist to work properly was to have enough information. He managed to gather enough information from various areas in the former Fan Yi Kingdom's area.

So he knew about this.

The fact that these villagers supported the army even though they themselves were not rich was really touching.

But it was also because the difficulty of the army that General Yang and General Gao decisively abandon Fan Yi Kingdom and turned over to Fei Yang Kingdom. Because for them, it didn't make sense to support such a kingdom that couldn't care for their people.

Since Fei Yang Kingdom had allowed the people to live better, then they would rather support Fei Yang Kingdom.

And their decision was proven to be correct.

They saved themselves and many people's lives.

But this didn't mean that war is over.

The northern tribe is still hanging by their door, waiting for a chance to pounce on their meat and squeeze them dry.

Those wolves would never stop until they see blood.

"I know. The system arranged by Prime Minister Xian for the army is working very well," General Yang said. "Even my brother said that Prime Minister Xian is very great."

The two prime ministers of Fei Yang Kingdom had more background in military. Even though Prime Minister Xian is a scholar, but he's a scholar who was raised by looking at the military situation.

He promulgated regulation that created standard for calculation, examination, and even the strict requirement for army.

In his words: everything had to follow the law.

But it was also because of this that Fei Yang Kingdom became orderly and their military power was getting stronger. Everyone was following the laws from Fei Yang Kingdom and through this method, Fei Yang Kingdom was getting stronger and stronger.

"He created a system where everything is standardized," Song Yun Xiang said.

To be honest, he had some doubts whether this Prime Minister Xian was a transmigrator too. Because what Prime Minister Xian did so far was quite ground breaking.

The unification of the calculation such as the length, number, and so on, was something that truly united the entire Fei Yang Kingdom. Previously, every kingdom had their own standard and when a city was conquered, they would have to get used to the new standard again.

Things can get confusing and many merchants were also unable to do business well.

But under Prime Minister Xian, everything was arranged into the law, making sure that they followed the standard that the Imperial Family had set up. In this way, everyone's work became more effective and so on.

There were also many other things that Prime Minister Xian set up under this law, allowing Fei Yang Kingdom to thrive.
