Crusader Kingdoms Begins with the Black Beast

It has been less than two years since the world was destroyed.

It was the calm before the storm, chaos was beginning to emerge, but everyone was still unaware that death was approaching, and everyone was singing and dancing.

Nangao, a window seat on the second floor of a teahouse.

"You tell me." Li Wei was wearing a long gown and a tall hat, trying his best to cover up his devilish figure, but his handsome appearance stood out from the crowd like a reader, and could not be concealed: "This Tzeentch demon can cross Changyuan again and again, and send such disgusting demons to stir up trouble - is it a two-way rush between your Dragon Emperor Empire and their Tzeentch demons?"

"!!!"

Following Li Wei on the incognito visit, Shi Huaiya's blood pressure instantly rose.

"Fuck you, you bastard! How can you talk like that?"

"How can I put it?" Li Wei pointed his hand to the side and said, "I have heard a lot of gossip in the market. Most of them are just rumors and have nothing to do with anything."

"Tsk." Hearing the three words "fengma niu", Shi Huaiya curled her lips in disgust, and her face even turned red: "How disgusting... You dragged me out here, do you know how annoying it is? It's been a whole day! Do you know how precious a day is to me? Every stick of incense may result in millions of dollars in losses and additional casualties. Doesn't each stick of incense cost us millions of dollars? Time is very tight..."

"Well, what would you like to drink?" Li Wei took the tea beside him and poured a cup for Shi Huaiya.

"...Uh, tea? I usually put honey in it...what's wrong? I just like to drink honey tea. If possible, I want rose tea produced in Nanli, thank you."

"..." Where did this special fetish come from, Miss? I thought you would hold the tea tightly in your hand: "Let's continue with the topic of running towards each other just now - don't talk nonsense, over there."

"?What?"

"I'm on the street." Li Wei pointed to a storyteller on the first floor and said, "After hearing this nonsense, do you know what I'm thinking deep down?"

According to the teahouses before Earth OL, some of them negotiated the price with the storyteller. How much should it cost for a month, three months, or half a year? For example, Mr. Big Eyeball told stories for ten taels of gold a day. Mr. Kang the Fatty told stories for one copper coin a year - that's about it.

Levi looked at the storyteller in the teahouse. It was hard to tell what role this storyteller in another world was, and it was also hard to tell what role this storyteller was talking about - he was talking about some very low-level and vulgar things. The gender equality issue in another world might be a little better than that of OL on Earth because of superpowers and other issues, but it was still a patriarchal society.

So your fantasy of a beautiful older sister coming up to you on the street and saying, "Want to see (beep)?" "Touch it (beep)~" "My sister's big (silent) is thirsty for it" will never happen. Alas, the evil patriarchal society!

"But the lustful man was already thirsty and intolerant. He grabbed the couple and shouted, 'Tonight I will make you two die together.' Then he jumped on the male host and grabbed the female host and sat on him. The three of them fought in a group, shocking the people around them, young and old..."

We were also shocked.

"Oh, why don't you just stop listening?" Shi Huaiya pricked up his ears and listened, then acted angry and said, "It's street slang, it's common sense, you can't care so much..."

"Bah! I don't know if I can control a swollen anus." Li Wei slammed the table and said, "I think you Longmen are just eating for free. If it were me, you would be a serious enemy spy! Look, you can't stop talking about the reproductive system every three sentences. If this is not Slaanesh, what is Slaanesh?"

"......?" Shi Huaiya thought for a long time, and really had no rebuttal: "Well, uh... I grew up in this environment, and there hasn't been much change. It shouldn't be the infiltration of Slaanesh, but these ignorant fools are just listening for fun..."

It's a dirty joke.

"No, we have to do something highbrow - I haven't encountered such disgusting things as yours in my kingdom." Li Wei finally understood that Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism and feudal ethics were probably defending against Slaanesh. He finally figured it out, and finally took the chicken feather as an arrow: "Am I not in charge of Nangao City now?"

"what?"

"It's just a small county town anyway." There are more than 2.8 million people in Nangao, and there are only 200,000 people in Nangao City.

That is.

"Wait for the army I trained to pull

545

Come back, I'll show you what close-quarters pressing is."

"?What do you mean?"

----------------------

Li Wei took Shi Huaiya for several rounds on the street, which made Shi Huaiya feel very confused.

Could it be that I grew up in a den of brothel?

Yes, it is a world of hentai after all, but it can’t be too extreme.

Levi is not stupid. Of course, reforms will encounter resistance.

What is reform? To put it bluntly, it is the redistribution of benefits. There is only so much benefit, and if it is given to the poor, Mr. Huang will definitely be unhappy. If Mr. Huang is unhappy, then he will naturally jump out and say that the ancestral law cannot be changed.

In ancient times, there were reforms such as Shang Yang's Reform. The main reason why Shang Yang was torn to pieces was that he touched the cake.

When you say that reformers throughout history will surely die, everyone thinks of Shang Yang, Wu Qi, and the Six Gentlemen - you are wrong. Many reformers in ancient times not only survived, but they also lived well. After all, many reforms in ancient times only touched the cakes of the poor, while the nobles enjoyed themselves to the fullest and were full of fat. The Zhao and Song dynasties were definitely serious oppressors for people south of the Yangtze River. Every time they reformed, they would grab land, and every time they went north, their families would be destroyed.

and so.

Levi has figured it out, since he wants to touch the nobles' cake.

Then he must have an army at hand!

Without an army, it's all bullshit! With an army - is it a problem if I burn, kill and plunder?

You should be grateful that I didn't kill your whole family. If you want your wife, shouldn't you also offer yourself to her on the bed? You see, this is called the Broken Bed...Window Theory.

"Aren't you going to check the government treasury?" Miaoying was furious as she watched Li Wei walking on the street.

Looking at Li Wei who was acting so self-righteous in front of him, and Shi Huaiya who was frightened like a newlywed bride beside him, he became even more angry.

"It's hard to figure out." Li Wei was not stupid. He walked on the road with his hands behind his back, full of vigor and fighting spirit. "How much money is missing from your government? Do you think a few account books can figure it out? We need to open up the structure."

"What do you mean?" Miaoying was very upset after catching the adulterer in the act. With so many people watching, she grabbed Li Wei with her left hand and Shi Huaiya with her right hand, and flew directly to the Dragon City suspended in the air. Under the watchful eyes of the public, a white school scene was staged.

Now, there are only three people. Miaoying put her hands on her waist, and the 2.2-meter-tall big sister looked down at Li Wei and Shi Huaiya.

"Look, whether it's investigating the government's deficit or looking at how much tax has been confiscated over the years, the end result is that you have no money - the money has been embezzled, or the money that should have been collected has been confiscated - some don't even have account books, or you didn't intend to collect it at all, but it should have been recorded. Right?"

"…Yeah, that makes some sense."

"Instead of looking for the difference in the account book, it is better to open your mind." Li Wei spread his hands and said, "Today I followed Shi Huaiya to her home, her relatives' homes, and her friends' homes."

"...Huh?" Shi Huaiya was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Wei in confusion. However, an ominous premonition was lingering in her mind.

"I have a rough estimate of how much money they have. Anyway, it should be more rather than less—" Li Wei spread his hands and said, "We can just make up a number when the time comes—I think Shi Huaiya's family is very rich."

"??!!"

"Uh... no, we don't have that much at home..." He suddenly hesitated.

"Oh, don't you usually say that a meal has more than 80 dishes?" Li Wei laughed and teased, and said, "Why, you don't admit it now?"

"Well, that's when our whole family is together. It's true that we have a lot of food at home, but there are also a lot of people. There are more than eighty dishes, that's... that's... the whole family eats together..." He said that eating at his own home is just like having a buffet, and at most the service from the servants is Haidilao.

"Oh, it's okay." Li Wei looked like a caring older brother, patting Shi Huaiya on the shoulder and saying, "When you showed me how rich your family is today, I knew you are an honest, steady, modest and good girl..."

"No, no, no, I... I... I am vain! I am ambitious and I tell lies all the time..."

"Hey, how you defile yourself is your business. I think you are an honest and good girl, which is my business." Levi patted the cat's head, looking like a devil: "How much money does your family have? I will give you another 30% according to your request! I hope you don't think I look down on your family."

"!!! No, no, I don't have that ability at all..."

Miaoying looked at the scene in front of her.

Suddenly I felt that Levi might really have something - his inspiration came from the ancient sages, so of course the effect was outstanding and the achievements were remarkable.

"Today, I followed Miss Shi Huaiya around the streets and met a lot of private soldiers, retainers, government slaves, and local militia. There are many different forces, and there are also many evil forces." Li Wei suddenly showed a sunny and cheerful smile and said, "So I ask - I want to go outside Nangao City and build a barracks."

"?" Shi Huaiya had no idea what was going on. According to common sense, the next step would be to overturn the table.

"Hmm..." Miaoying suddenly remembered what Levi did in another world, and asked, "Are you... going to build a barracks?"

"Yes, give me a month to build the barracks, and another month to train the

546

Train the soldiers; give me another month, and I can come to serve the king."

"...Okay, I get it." Miaoying nodded helplessly and said, "But my dear brother Zhongren, I have placed all my hopes on you. You have been in Nan Gao for a while. You should know how many internal and external troubles there are. I hope you will not betray me..."

? ? Shi Huaiya felt that this line was not right.

Levi also felt that this line was not right...but he thought that the ancients might have spoken like this.

"I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the tail of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day but I can't see you. We drink the water of the Yangtze River together. When will this water stop flowing, when will this hatred end? I only hope that your heart is like mine, and I will never let you down - Sister Miaoying, don't worry." Li Wei patted his chest and promised, "I will definitely not do something that would let you down."

"Uh... that... what you said..." Miaoying nodded with great difficulty, because she knew what the Yangtze River was. This poem... she didn't know (Song Dynasty), but she knew that Li Wei probably misunderstood.

It doesn’t matter whether Levi misunderstood or not.

Shi Huaiya is now completely furious.

My own Frost Princess is cheating on me? !

————————————————————————

"I'm telling you something." Shi Huaiya held onto Xingxiong and Lao Chen and refused to let go: "Xingxiong, Fenchanglong, something big has happened!"

Stuck at home for a week.

Shi Huaiya finally couldn't stand it anymore!

Waking up this morning and clocking in for work, Shi Huaiya took the newly-woke eight-foot elder sister and Fenchanglong to the street stall.

The good thing about ancient times is that no matter how high your position is, you still have to eat the flies.

When the first-rank officials of the Qing Dynasty came back from court, they would eat fried dough sticks, soy milk, and tofu pudding (northern officials preferred salty ones, southern officials preferred sweet ones), and they would eat them in the Forbidden City. This was filmed in the movie "Towards the Republic", where the first-rank officials and all the officials in official uniforms, regardless of their rank, would just sit and eat. Some eunuchs and servants opened various breakfast shops, and the Qing Dynasty did not stipulate that stalls were not allowed within 100 meters of the palace gate.

——It’s a bit like the British Prime Minister eating a hot dog in front of Parliament. It may be a staged photo, but he was just having a simple meal.

Shi Huaiya pulled the other two and talked in a low voice in front of the small stall.

"? Meh, barbecued pork cat."

"Destroy it, Powder Dragon! No, it's the same as always."

"Okay." A palace servant nodded. She knew all these officials. The girl smiled and said, "Commander Chen wants three bowls of tofu pudding, ten fried dough sticks, five tea eggs, and no coriander; Deputy Commander Xing wants five bowls of tofu pudding with more chili, 20 fried dough sticks, and a bottle of wine; Deputy Commander Shi wants a bowl of soy milk, three fried dough sticks, and ten tea eggs, right?"

"hurry up."

Everyone eats very simply because that's all there is.

"If you have something to say, please say it." Sir Chen was very unhappy. Can't a first-rank official eat something good in the morning? - Sorry, the history books say that it is not possible. A piece of ginseng or something is too little for these people. At least they have to make a cup of milk to soak the ginseng.

"My Lord, do you have a crush on that demon?"

"......?" You can't say such things, Barbecued Pork Cat, how many ears can you pinch? You made the lord unhappy last time, and you're almost turning into a Scottish Fold cat." Fenchanglong said jokingly, and it seems that he is in a good mood these two days.

"Look at this." The Scottish Fold cat was so angry that he handed the note over.

"?" Chen Sir and Xing Xiong, one with two horns on his head and the other with one and a half horns, huddled together and started to look: "What? I live at Changjiangtou, and Jun lives at...? Huh?"

"Hiss! What the hell is this?" Xingxiong also teased: "Miss Shi, you are not in love, are you?"

"Pah, pah, pah! Disgusting! - I saw it myself yesterday. That guy Levi was reciting this poem with the Lord! There's something wrong. There's something wrong with these two siblings!"

Even calling Li Wei by his name, what's the difference between this and cursing the other person's ancestors?

"!!!" What a lustful thing, a love between an older sister and a younger brother, oh...

"No way? I won't say much about Mr. Li." Sir Chen's favorability towards Li Wei instantly dropped by -10, and became 110 (out of 100): "Who is the master? Ha, even if that demon is in heat, what can it do? He is shameless and is of no use to the master."

"This...is true."

"Okay, I happened to be going to the south for inspection today - I want to see how Levi resettled the refugees. He patted his chest and said that he would reorganize 100,000 refugees, and he went to take office alone. He didn't even want me to accompany him! - Bah, who cares." Sir Chen grabbed the fried dough sticks beside him with disdain, and very skillfully broke them off piece by piece and put them into the tofu pudding - this is full of the breath of life. "I just remembered it, it's a coincidence - today I plan to inspect in the southeast, I can make fun of him, hahahaha..."

--------------------------

"Hmm, hmm..." Miaoying felt that Levi did a good job, but the problem was that Levi had done everything she had to do - which made her look very boring. If she was bored, she didn't care whether the world would be destroyed or not.

"Well done." One of the few things she did was nod. Miaoying read the work report that Levi sent her every day and felt that he was truly a genius who had made his own way from scratch.

All are

547

The credit of the system.

"I didn't expect that either." Sir Chen, who had returned to report on his work, looked tangled and said, "Humph, that demon ran away. The fields were opened up, the population increased, and the people were fed; the officials had nothing to do, all industries flourished, there were no remains on the roads, the military was serious, and the East was at peace."

"Oh, that's a very high evaluation." Miaoying was also very happy. At least this scene didn't seem like something the subordinates of the four evil gods would do.

"It's just a little... too harsh." Sir Chen seemed a little entangled, and said: "While distributing food, he asked every disaster victim..."

"What do you ask them for?" Sir Chen is considered a spy. Now that Miaoying has read Levi's first-hand information, she still has to listen to what Sir Chen has to say.

"Ask them to chant every day: Long live His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, long live His Majesty Miaoying, always be healthy, His Majesty Shenzhu, be a little healthy."

“…Is this guy mentally ill?”

"Who says it's not? Then we do group radio gymnastics, everyone has to do it, and we also do eye exercises every day..."

"??"

There’s no way around it, it’s a habit I developed during those two years as a teacher.

"There are a lot of new construction projects and new houses are built every day. But... those houses look weird..."
