The entire Duke's Mansion is divided into three levels. The place where Yang Tian lives belongs to the last level of the Duke's Mansion. Except for Amo and him, his younger brothers lived closer to their parents. Yang Tian and Amo both have an independent courtyard, including several servants. Since both of them are not yet adults, these servants also return to the Duke's Mansion to regulate and manage them, and the power is in the hands of the hostess Dugu.

During the period when Yang Tian was sick, Dugu took care of Yang Tian himself, and then assigned Axiang and Alan to take care of him. No one was allowed to approach Yang Tian. Therefore, Yang Tian came out today and saw the servants in his yard for the first time. There were two couples who specialized in doing rough work, responsible for cleaning and scrubbing in the yard, as well as a gardener and two guards. When these people saw Yang Tian, ​​they bent down and greeted him.

The Duke's Mansion covers an area of ​​several hectares, and it takes more than half a day to walk around. Yang Tian was exhausted and panting after walking around. Although his health was healed, he couldn't adapt to walking too much at once. A Xiang looked at him and said worriedly: "Young Master, let's go back."

Yang Tian didn't want to go back immediately and asked, "Axiang, where is my father's study? I want to go and take a look."

A Xiang shook her head and said, "Young Master, the Duke's study is a major place. Without the Duke's permission, I would not dare to take the master over there."

Yang Tian didn't expect that it would be so difficult to read a book, but it was almost time for the night to wait for the nominal father to come back. Yang Tian had to find a rockery place, sit down quietly, and stare at the reflection of the rockery reflected in the pond.

The Duke's Mansion not only has a garden, rockery, but also a pond. This pond alone covers several acres of land. Willow trees are planted next to the pond. At this moment, the willow trees are full of catkins. When the breeze blows, the catkins float into the pond one after another. Occasionally, a fish exposed its head on the water surface, swallowing a caterpillar that fell from the willow tree, and then quickly drills into the water, creating a circle of ripples on the surface of the pond.

Yang Tian felt like a caterpillar falling on the water. When he came to this strange world, everything was involuntary and he would be swallowed by a fish at any time.

"No, I will never make caterpillars, I will also make caterpillars fish."

A Xiang stood behind him and was confused when he heard Yang Tian's words: "Young Master, what caterpillar, what fish? The young master is the son of the prince, and he is so precious that he can't speak such a thing."

"Noble, yes, I am a noble person now." Yang Tian became optimistic again. I am not a caterpillar or a fish, but a fisherman who catches fish. No matter when it is now, it is at least hundreds of years behind the time I am in. I don't believe that I can't survive here with hundreds of years of advanced knowledge.

"A Xiang, are you a Han Chinese?"

A Xiang said sadly: "I am a Han person."

"Is the Han people very low?"

A Xiang shook his head: "No, there are also many Han officials in the court, but the courts established by the Xianbei people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the princes and nobles and relatives are all Xianbei people."

Yang Tian was even more convinced that this court was a Xianbei court with deep sinicization: "Is it because there are many Han people or Xianbei people."

A Xiang laughed: "Young Master, of course there are many Han people. Even in the Great Zhou, the number of Han people is ten times that of Xianbei people. Moreover, the number of Chen State in the south is not below that of the Great Zhou. They are all Han people."

Yang Tian kept racking his brains to know if all his places were ancient China. However, the Great Zhou had no impression in his mind, so he didn't ask any more questions. Unexpectedly, he learned from A Xiang that there was another Chen State in the south, and he was immediately interested: "A Xiang, are there any other countries besides Chen State?"

"Of course there are, there are Qi and Liang. Liang State is very small and is a vassal of our Great Zhou. Qi was originally not much different from our Great Zhou. However, Your Majesty has been in succession and many of the territory of Qi State have been occupied by our Great Zhou. Listen to the Duke of the State, Your Majesty may soon launch a personal expedition again to incorporate Qi into our country in one fell swoop."

If he had a little bit of knowledge established by the Sui Dynasty, Yang Tian should know when he was now, but Yang Tian knew nothing about the Sui Dynasty except that it was a short-lived dynasty and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang was a tyrant. Perhaps if someone mentioned it, he would also remember that the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty was Yang Jian, Yang Guang was not the crown prince, the crown prince was his brother Yang Yong, and Yang Guang killed his brother and seized the throne.

But now Yang Guang's name is Pu Liu Ruying. That day, he heard the word Yang from his father's mouth, and it was also Yang Ying when he changed it to a Chinese name. Although his own name has the word Yong, he only remembers that he is Pu Liu Ruyong, so Yang Tian was still confused.

However, Yang Tian was already very satisfied with the unexpected gain of so much knowledge from A Xiang. Judging from the fact that A Xiang sipped on our Great Zhou, the regime of this Great Zhou is still very solid. At least Yang Tian doesn’t have to worry that his identity as the eldest son of the Duke will be lost soon.

"Axiang, how about the Chen State?" Since Axiang said that Liang State was just a vassal of Zhou and Qi State was about to be destroyed by Zhou State, he did not have to worry about these two countries, but needed to understand that this was a Chen State composed of Han people.

"Chen Guoyuan is in Jiangnan, and I don't know much about Chen Guo. However, it is said that their country is richer than our Great Zhou, just like the silk and porcelain used by our Duke's Mansion came from Chen Guo."

"Then how powerful are their troops? They can't beat our Great Zhou?"

"Of course I can't beat it. The State of Chen still needs to pay tribute to us every year. Many of the things the Emperor rewarded to the Duke's Mansion were tributes from the State of Chen."

After saying this, Yang Tian became even more confused. The Great Zhou was so powerful that it was very likely that a northern dynasty would be unified by a northern dynasty. Although he had not learned his own history well, since Qin began, there was no unified dynasty called Northern Zhou, and the living standards here could not be the Zhou State before Tai.

Yang Tian hopes that he can find history books as soon as possible and thoroughly understand the era he is in. However, he cannot go to his father's study for the time being, so he can only do nothing.

Yang Tian roughly understood the current situation from A Xiang's words. If what A Xiang said was true, then after the Great Zhou destroyed Northern Qi and Liang, there was no doubt that the army would definitely perish towards the southern general Chen State. Yang Tianke never believed in tribute. Paying tribute was like showing weakness and subsiding the enemy.
