Chapter 1320 1320: The highest realm of cattle and horses [asking for monthly votes]
In the southwest, having foreign blood in your ancestors may lead to death. Not long after Luo Sha came ashore, he was outspoken and not so tactful. When Shen Tang took the initiative to mention the aliens in the southwest, he expressed his thoughts - kill every alien he saw.
If you don’t kill them now, you will suffer backlash later.
"...I heard that the two tribes in the northwest were recruited by the Lord and appointed generals from the two tribes? Forgive me for arrogating. The principle of 'Those who are not from our tribe must have different hearts' has been used in ancient and modern times. They surrendered today just because their skills are inferior to others. They are not sincerely surrendering. If anything happens in the future, they will be evil wolves!" From Luo Sha's words, it can be seen that he really doesn't have much care.
Shen Tang values Luo Sha and intends to support him. Naturally, he does not want him to be convicted for his words: "There are only two ways to deal with foreign races. Like the southwest, they are completely exterminated. The second is assimilation and absorption. After hundreds of years of war, the population of all parts of the mainland has changed." The people's livelihood is in decline, and they are almost at the end of the war. If they slaughter all the foreigners in the northwest, the country of Kang will pay several times the price."
Where can we have the prosperity of the past few years?
In the past few years since the founding of Kang State, with the recovery of people's livelihood, the fertility rate among the people in the northwest has also skyrocketed year by year. Last year alone, there were 1.56 million more newborns, reaching the highest level in a century. The mortality rate of newborns and young children has also been halved year by year. It is completely foreseeable that if this rate continues, even if Werder does not have the twelve-year period and Shen Tang is given thirty years to develop, even if she does not take the initiative to expand, the rest of the mainland will also Will "actively" surrender.
"It's a hidden danger after all." Luo Sha's prejudice against foreign races was implanted at a young age and has long been ingrained. That attempt to appease and educate the captives resulted in mass murder across the city, which was a **** lesson!
"I am a dragon or an insect in one day." She said the most arrogant words in the calmest tone. Shen Tang's subsequent response made Luo Sha shudder. She said, "The people have secretly destroyed the Bei Mo Shiwuliang." The literature and materials of the clan, children also learn the elegant words of Kangguo, and adults should also learn it if they want to get a good job and support their families, and they will be clean in three generations at most. "
The language environment has a great influence on children.
Luo Sha didn't understand the lethality of these words at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he was shocked to realize how cruel it was, and he opened his mouth in confusion.
Shen Tang understood what he wanted to ask.
"Are you curious about the civil and military reactions of the two ethnic groups?"
"They can't possibly agree, right?"
Even if Luo Sha was theirs, they wouldn't agree.
No matter how many blood feuds there are, this flesh and blood cannot be replaced. The lord they are loyal to wants to completely erase the existence of their own race mentally. Even people who have no feelings for their own race cannot be completely indifferent, right? Luo Sha was confused.
Shen Tang said quietly: "They don't know."
There are only a few people who truly realize Shen Tang's purpose.
Gu Chi's confidants were aware of it, but it was impossible for them to leak the secret. The living environment of the Shiwu and Beimo tribes is indeed bad. Their own system flaws mean that only a small number of vested interests recognize their existence. Those slaves at the bottom have no desire to go back to the past, starve and exchange their lives for survival supplies. of hard days. Public opinion basically fell in favor of Shen Tang.
She didn't have to do anything. She only needed to take care of these aliens at the bottom when she was governing, and she could make them burst into tears and let them go where Shen Tang wanted them to go. They will actively integrate into the local language and cultural environment, just like a drop of ink dropped into a pool of water, they will be swallowed up silently. It was these people who abandoned their own language and culture on their own initiative, not forced by her.
This is true from beginning to end.
The foreign generals represented by Su Shiyilu were from high-ranking families. They were too far away from the slaves and could not empathize with them. They don't think slaves and other low-class people can continue to have any culture. Culture is a luxury that only high-level nobles are qualified to touch.
And this happened to be what Shen Tang wanted.
The fewer people who are proficient in both languages, the better.
The smaller the number of people, the closer it is to the result Shen Tang wants.
"...Then wouldn't it be that these alien races in the southwest should have been killed long ago?"
The last batch to survive also had a labor force of over 100,000 people.
Shen Tang shook his head: "That's not true, the situation is different."
She's not a trash can, so she's willing to collect any kind of garbage? The conflict between the northwest kingdoms and the foreign tribes in the northwest is a blood feud that has been accumulated over time. There is no hatred between the two sides where one side's education was eaten up by the other side. You can accept the outcome of the winner being king and the loser being the bandit by pinching your nose, but this group in the southwest Forget about aliens. This kind of thing that betrays people at any time and cannibalizes people will die early and be reborn.
Luo Sha: "..."
Unexpectedly, there are existences that even the Lord cannot accept.
Shen Tang reminded Luo Sha: "It's okay to say these words in front of me today, but you still have to be cautious when dealing with other colleagues. If you really can't remember to say it, it's okay. Su Shiyilu Together they can’t beat you.”
Who makes people's fists really hard?
Su Shiyilu could only admit that he was unlucky.
Luo Sha: "...I will keep this in mind."
On the day when the southwest was completely included in the territory, Qin Li's high-definition satellite map was finally updated to the latest version. Shen Tang and others looked at the direction of the mountains and rivers on the map, feeling vaguely numb: "If the southwest territory were a person, ten lives would be lost."
No one caught the essence of her complaints.
"How do you say this? Because the kingdoms are so numerous, they will be divided into pieces?"
"No, it means the blood clot is too serious."
Not only were there large blood clots, but there were also varicose veins.
As the southwest territory is completely completed, the previous plan to open the waterway was discussed with Qin Li and needs to be revised: "A few days ago, Cui Shi presented a map from the people. The mountains and rivers drawn on it are what they looked like before the thief star descended from the sky. I followed that Taking the map as a template, we initially plan to open up and merge all these waterways, from here, here, to here, and then from here to the sea..."
Before the emergence of supernatural powers like Bunshin Budan, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas changed at an extremely slow rate. The map of more than two hundred years ago was very different from that of five hundred years ago. Shen Tang has been studying these days, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels that these terrain directions have been deliberately arranged by someone, using the direction of the mountains and rivers in the coastal areas to maximize the resistance to the erosion and pollution of the land by ocean radiation.
Luo Sha said the offshore environment has improved a lot.
In other words, some of the original "barriers" can be removed.
After demolition, it will be converted into a place suitable for human habitation and farming.
Xun Zhen stared at her pointing fingers, her breathing gradually getting heavier. If the boss starts to talk, the Ministry of Work will lose its legs, and the Ministry of Household will go bankrupt on the spot. He quickly pulled out people from the Ministry of Industry as a shield.
It is not difficult to open up and merge, but the difficulty is that after the merger, the impact on the surrounding areas will be in all aspects, from farming to ecology to the migration of nearby people. Which one does not require the coordination of three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five supervisors? This matter is extremely involved.
The Lord will make the start, and they will take care of the rest.
Xun Zhen was really afraid that her brain would get hot.
It's fine if things work out, but I'm just afraid that halfway through, I'll find out that it doesn't work and all the previous investments have been in vain. Wouldn't that cost Xun Zhen's life? The larger the project, the more people involved, and the more loopholes are exploited. Xun Zhen naturally has to control every process in advance to eliminate the possibility of any wastage or corruption!
who! All! No! able! greedy! he! one! point!
Shen Tang smiled and said, "I'm just impatient."
Xun Zhen hesitated again and hinted at a crisis in the treasury - if the Lord wants to implement the project smoothly, he must find a way to replenish the treasury. Whether it's burning, killing, looting or other methods, he only wants money.
Speaking of which, the Lord did make a small fortune recently.
Why should I be on guard against myself, the Minister of Household Affairs?
Are you afraid that he will swallow the unexpected wealth?
Shen Tang: "..."
Why mention such an unlucky thing on a big day?
She took a deep breath and exhaled, took a deep breath and exhaled again.
"...You don't have to worry about these."
Shen Tang once again regretted why there was no second Jimo Qiu in the world. If there was, she wouldn't mind enjoying the blessings of others!
People will laugh when they are extremely speechless. Others thought it was a happy event, but Gu Chi heard her voice complaining: "There is no more conscious person in the world than me. Other people just drink a glass of ice to refresh themselves when they are tired. I have borrowed money and paid to work all year round and I still think consciously." Selling oneself…”
What kind of dogecoin job is this! !
Did she really not kill anyone or set fire to blow up the universe in her previous life? ? ?
Gu Chi: "..."
To be honest, he had some sympathy for a certain high priest. People only want to serve God wholeheartedly, but you, my Lord, your ideas are somewhat dangerous. Gu Chi silently wrote down today's inspiration.
Shen Tang made a fortune by threatening Cui.
Xun Zhen became rich by squeezing his superiors.
After getting the account book of the "windfall" from Shen Tang, his eyes brightened several times, as if he had caught a hundred and eighty fireflies and stuffed them into his eyeballs to serve as light bulbs. After flipping through a few pages, he smiled so hard that his back teeth almost came out: "Ms. Cui is on the road."
The fact that Southwest is poor does not affect the aristocratic family's wealth.
It makes sense for Cui Zhen to be the director of the Southwest Branch.
He can't deal with a weirdo like his lord who doesn't follow common sense, so why can't he deal with the likes of aristocratic families? That is the familiar circle that people have been in since childhood, and they are all familiar with all kinds of methods. If you don't take action, you will be killed!
Shen Tang said: "He has to protect his daughter."
That Lady Cui Long probably never imagined that she would have to pay such a high price for being merciful and unable to bear to silence her. After this was done, Cui's foundation accumulated in the southwest was basically finished, and he could only move to the northwest and reintegrate into a different environment.
Shen Tang used Cui as a knife to cut the meat from the fat sheep ranked high in the southwest. The big fat sheep couldn't help Shen Tang, but they were able to vent their anger on Cui's head. Even though the Cui family is still rich and powerful, they cannot find a well-matched family for marriage, so they can only be compatible downwards, and all the well-matched ones are offended.
Shen Tang knows moderation.
Squeeze Cui Zhi, reuse Cui Mi, and treat Cui Xiong well.
Cui Hui went to retreat recently.
Even if Cui Zhi wants to overturn the table, he will throw a tantrum, so he can only endure it!
Shen Tang's relaxed brows furrowed again after a while: "This small amount of oil and water will be a drop in the bucket for the entire southwest."
This battle was a bit of a loss.
She could make money by growing well, but she lacked time to grow now. The war in the southwest had just ended, and it wouldn't be long before the central part of the country had to catch up. The cows and horses still have holidays, but she can only keep going.
Seeing that she was not in a high mood, Xun Zhen told her: "My lord, there is no need to be too pessimistic. It will get better in a year and a half."
You’ve managed it all these years, why are you still afraid of this?
Shen Tang: "..."
This year, Shen Tang spent his time outside.
The workload has reached its peak in recent years. Just writing encouragement and blessings to officials is so overwhelming that I am seriously suspected of developing tenosynovitis. The writing was sealed on New Year’s Eve and unsealed on the afternoon of the first day of the new year. During the Chinese New Year, I ate a bowl of noodles with four eggs cooked by Chu Yao himself.
"It's been a long time since we've had such a lonely year."
In previous years in Fengluo, the flavor of the New Year could last for a whole month.
It's half way through the first month, and everyone around me is sending out all the people I can, and it suddenly becomes a lot deserted... ah, it's not that deserted either. The scale of the DingTalk meeting was unprecedented, and the civil and military confrontations were as high as tens of millions of ducks quacking in our ears.
"My lord, my lord is missing?"
Qin Li escaped from the melee and hurriedly logged off.
I ran quickly to the master and heard a scream.
"Ahhhh-cockroach-"
Shen Tang is not afraid of cockroaches, but she is afraid of cockroaches suddenly flying into her face! She had just been watching the courtiers fight each other, and her ears were keen to hear some movement. Then she saw two cockroaches half the size of a palm flying towards her, and her heart almost stopped.
He picked up the wooden sandals she had someone make and patted them on.
When Qin Li came over, he saw her with a ferocious expression and said, "Sir, no matter what, I can't kill you in the apocalypse of nuclear zombies and natural disasters!"
Not only are the cockroaches not extinct, they are getting bigger!
Is this scientific?
She threw away the wooden sandals with the cockroach corpses stuck on them. She endured her nausea and asked the palace maid to come in and clean them up. She looked up and saw Qin Li.
"I've never seen such a big cockroach before."
Qin Li said: "I haven't seen it either."
It's strange to say that the closer you get to the coast, the more strange species there are. Palm-sized cockroaches are just appetizers. Qin Li even saw a mouse as big as a piggy a few days ago. However, these mice are not common and are a rare delicacy.
According to local county records, there were many larger and more deformed animals in the past, but they were all eaten to extinction by hungry people.
cockroach…
It is an existence that even hungry people cannot eat.
In order to prevent the master from being disconnected due to similar incidents, Qin Li suggested that the master should recall his personal guards. If nothing else, it will at least get rid of cockroaches without eyes. When Shen Tang got online again, the courtiers had already made a sound through the fight.
Shen Tang: "..."
The efficiency is much improved than before.
She asked: "Is there any result?"
Just as Xun Zhen was about to speak, dozens of looks came to him like knives, and he almost lost his breath. Reluctantly said: "I think that Qu State is an ally after all, and since they have opened their mouth to borrow food..."
The quarrel at the court meeting was over borrowing food.
It's hard to say whether Qu State is really short of food or it's just a test.
Borrow or not?
This is a problem.
Those represented by Xun Zhen did not want to borrow it. The reasons included but were not limited to the fact that the landlords had no more food left, and they were using it to drag down Qu's allies to death, hoping that a dead Taoist friend would not die of a poor Taoist. Represented by Chu Yao, they prefer to borrow and kill the middle part first.
Don’t just worry about money, but also consider your reputation!
Backstabbing an ally before the battle is over is not a good reputation.
What if the Central Region and Qu State cannot be dragged to death in one fell swoop?
Didn’t Kang Guo steal the chicken but lose the rice?
Borrow food to allow Qu Guo to persist for a while.
Give yourself some time to develop.
