C18 Xiluo Province
"The Silo Province to the south of the empire!" Sander replied without thinking.
Lee Xiang was shocked when he heard Sander mention the Silo Province. He knew this Silo Province all too well. Although he had never taken half a step out of the Count's Mansion in all these years, the books could still tell him a lot of things.
After confirming that the place of rebellion was the autonomous Silo in the south, this only increased the doubt in Lee Xiang's heart. According to his knowledge, the Silo Province was thousands of miles away from the imperial capital, and one was located in the southernmost part of the empire. The other was located in the center of the empire. This meant that the riots there posed no threat to the Imperial Capital at all. At most, they would only hear a little noise from the thunder. But why did the capital suddenly make such a military move? Could it be a routine change of defense? But there was no reason to change all the defense into cavalry? Or was it a routine military drill? Cooperating with the Imperial Capital's National Day Ceremony? This possibility was not valid! Then why?
Li Jun thought of all kinds of possibilities, but in the end, he rejected them one by one. However, he was still very interested in what happened in Silo Province. To be honest, Lee Xiang had started paying attention to this Silo Province before he was ten years old. He had his reasons for paying attention to the Silo Province.
According to the general history of the empire, Silo Province. The Silo Province was a private fiefdom belonging to Duke, which was why it was called an autonomous province. According to the law of Reiss Empire, anyone who was part of the royal family of Reiss Empire. . . It was as if anyone who was part of the royal family of Reiss Empire could have their own private fiefdom. There was also another type of person who could enjoy such an honor. It was as long as it was an official who had made a special contribution to the empire after being promoted to a duke. As for the size of the land, it would depend on the contributions you made to the empire! Once it was a private territory, he or she would be given a piece of land. This would be a hereditary title, just like a golden rice bowl.
And this Silo Province Lord belonged to the latter. As for the specific situation, Lee Xiang was not very clear. He only knew who the first lord of Silo Province was. After all, the book did not mention much about it.
The reason why Lee Xiang was interested in this province was because 60% of the people living in Silo Province were yellow people. The other layer was white nobles, followed by other races. Because Lee Xiang was also yellow. So, ever since Lee Xiang found out that there was such a place on this continent, he had always dreamt of going there one day. Unfortunately. . . Until today, he still had no choice but to go there. Of course, this did not mean that all the yellow people had gathered in Silo Province. There were a total of 18 provinces in Reiss Empire, including many tribes. Each province had people from different races. The only difference was how much they took. For example, the few provinces in the west that were close to the sea were mainly fishing for a living. This meant that there would be a lot less Asians. This was based on a habit.
The biggest reason Lee Xiang had been paying attention to this place was that it was located in the south of the empire, and the climate was pleasant. Hence, it was very suitable for planting crops. Hence, this place was also known as the Reiss Empire's granary! The yellow people happened to be the main force of this granary. As everyone knew, the Asians were known for their diligence and kindness in the continent. The planting of crops was their specialty. Strictly speaking, Silo Province was actually a place where large numbers of Asians gathered. If this was the case, The yellow people were the backbone of Silo Province, and Silo Province was also known as the empire's granary. From this, one could see the importance of the yellow people in the empire. Unfortunately, the rulers of the empire regarded them as Lower Race. It had to be said that this was an extreme act without foresight.
It was worth mentioning that Silo Province was located at the southernmost part of Reiss Empire. It happened to have a border that stretched for thousands of miles with the two neighboring countries of Reiss Empire. In history, the empire of Res had many conflicts with these two neighboring countries because of this. Therefore, the political figures of the empire secretly called the border of Silo Province the lifeline of the empire! This was definitely not an alarmist!
If such a complicated place had a large-scale rebellion, the severity of the situation could be imagined.
Upon hearing Sander's words, Lee Xiang vaguely felt something in his heart, but he couldn't completely grasp it. Immediately, he nodded his head and asked without changing his expression, "What is the cause of this incident?"
"It seems, it seems low. . . " Sander suddenly paused because he suddenly remembered that third young master was also a member of a low race.
"Low race?" Lee Xiang smiled faintly. Of course he understood what Sander meant, but he did not take it seriously. In the eyes of the white people, perhaps other races were low race, but he was proud of his race.
"No, I didn't mean that. . . "
"Alright, go on, I know you didn't mean that!" Lee Xiang interrupted Sander's panicked explanation. He was not interested in this.
Sander nodded. He organized his thoughts and said slowly, "I heard that other races are not satisfied with the policy of the empire and complain about many unfair policies. "
Lee Xiang frowned slightly. This answer was too general. This was unfair or discontented. This was something that had existed for thousands of years in Reiss Empire. It was not something that could happen overnight. Anything that happened would have a fuse. Otherwise, it would not have happened so easily.
Sander could also see third young master's discontentment. He coughed lightly and quickly added, "According to the rumors of merchants who came back from business in the south, It seems to be a military officer stationed in Silo Province. After drinking, he flirted with an Asian woman who sold wine. This kind of thing happened frequently in the past. It was the end of the matter, but for some reason, This time, it actually turned into a crazy riot. I even heard from the merchants who came back from the south that. . . It seems like the scale of this Yellow Calamity is something that the empire has not seen for many years. . . "Today, a friend of mine who has been selling rice and grains in Silo Province all year round said. It seemed that the south was very unstable at the beginning of the year, and there were often small scale people from other races who caused trouble. But at that time, they were all small groups, so it was easy to suppress them. Even the Imperial Capital was not very clear about this! However, it was different this time. Also, after hearing that there was a riot in Silo Province, This happened in several other provinces as well, but the scale was relatively small. Moreover, there were a few places that didn't seem to be far from the Imperial Capital. Everything seemed to be premeditated. . . "
Premeditated? Sander's last sentence caused Lee Xiang's heart to move slightly. This explanation was very accurate and accurate to the extreme. But what was the reason? He could foresee it. The capital seemed to be guarding against small-scale riots, but wouldn't this be a bit of a waste of talent? Lee Xiang faintly felt that his chance had come.
Next, Lee Xiang heard Sander talk about it. Count had been in the palace for two days, discussing matters, and only returned to Count's Mansion two days before the Empire's national celebration. Furthermore, his expression was very ugly. When Count returned to the mansion, he immediately locked himself in the study. After that, Reynolds and Count Walker sat in his study room for a few hours.
Countess was also in a bad mood. It was even said that she was preparing to go on a long journey. If Count was not worried about the recent riots and the road was not safe, countess would have left long ago. To be honest, Lee Xiang really wanted to know where countess wanted to go at this critical moment, but Sander had no idea.
The Imperial Capital had been patrolled by troops all over the place these few days. Those who were slightly more astute would immediately feel that the problem was not good. This was because these troops had clearly increased by a lot compared to the past. Moreover, the number of patrols was also clearly higher than the past.
The celebration of the Empire still did not show any signs of being postponed or canceled. It was even very high-profile, but it was clearly a little loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
However, there was one thing that was certain. At this moment, the Imperial Capital was still the most lively place in the entire continent.
On the morning of Count's second return from the palace, Lee Xiang woke up. A very unexpected thing happened.
