Since ancient times, it usually takes five to ten years to establish a country and conquer the world.
Because at the end of the battle, half of the territory was occupied, and the rest was decided by spreading the word.
This is similar to Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The beginning is the most difficult. It is better than the beginning and the middle period, and then it is automatically appointed.
Wen Rensheng has now passed the beginning, but has not yet reached the middle stage.
Food is indeed a factor limiting his expansion.
But it is not the main factor.
The world is not without food.
There is not enough food for everyone in the world.
It's just that they are all hidden in cellars, warehouses... and have not been put on the market.
The landless have no way to obtain it by selling their labor power; so they can only obtain it by exporting violence.
What Wenrensheng has to do is to use various methods to ensure that they can be put on the market.
In fact, Queen Mother Lu did quite well in the past.
By relying on a bottle of poison, disguised as an elixir of life, he not only gained money and food, but also caused the wealthy family to fall apart.
The teacher does not have to be better than the disciple, and the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher.
Today he also wants to copy Empress Dowager Lu's creativity...
Xiawang has been established, and he can also clear his memory. Empress Dowager Lu's creativity can not be copied even 100%, but it can also be copied 80%.
Think about it, the swindlers in the past life used empty words and paid zero points. They were all fake. They were able to defraud tens of billions... millions of people were fooled.
After all, he is very kind and will retain people's memories. After taking the medicine, they can continue to live in Xiawang.
It's not as insidious as Queen Mother Lu and her pets. When a person dies, he or she is really dead. It's just that the person's memory is extracted and attached to another newborn.
It is the legendary spiritual immortality. As long as someone remembers you, you will not die...
After reading it, Wen Rensheng returned to Suicongling, the holy mountain of the Demon Sect.
After half a month of seclusion, he summoned everyone and announced that he had refined an elixir called "Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation Pill".
As he spoke, he took out a crystal clear pill.
"Holy Master, what effect can this medicine have?" Master Quan asked earnestly.
"Taking this elixir can condense the spirit, unite the soul, and reach the realm of Yang Shen... Of course, it is only in the Xiawang. Even if the body decays, the spirit can survive forever. If the Xiawang is not destroyed, you will not die." Wenren said.
Sheng Zhen Zhen has a way of speaking.
Everyone was stunned.
This holy master is indeed a big liar.
They have practiced martial arts for many years and understand very well how difficult it is to achieve this so-called spiritual realm. Only a few innate palace masters can vaguely touch the edges.
The other party is so good, he can directly condense his spirit into a Yang Shen!
Isn't this just like those Taoist priests who make alchemy?
However, those Taoist priests boasted loudly and deceived countless emperors. They started a fight and could not survive even thirty moves.
What's round and round, it can't stand up to a hard bridge or a hard horse. The most suitable martial art for fighting is iron sand palm horizontal training, rather than various advanced and mysterious realms...
The purple-flowered dog lying on the ground was also listening, with its mouth open and almost unable to close: Why did the scene change to the mode of cultivating immortals?
The teacher's transition was a bit fast, and I couldn't even keep up with my four legs.
And if you listen carefully, it seems a bit familiar.
Zhao Han stared at the blind Guo Zai with resentful Kazlan eyes, and the meaning was obvious: "Teacher, you didn't let me take the shortcut, so it turned out that I wanted to leave it to you to make your own way. You don't behave like this."
Wen Rensheng lowered his head to look at it and said something: "Disciple, the water here is too deep and you can't control it. Let me take care of it."
In the past, Zhao Han would have really believed it.
But now she only rolls her eyes.
"Then Holy Master, is this medicine expensive?" the saint asked suddenly.
She was born with intelligence and could see at a glance the blind man's intention of taking out this medicine: to use it as military expenditure.
The demon sect's conquests include firstly not attacking homes, secondly not looting, and thirdly providing relief. One county and two counties are fine, but now there are ten. Where can you get so much money?
"Expensive, ten thousand taels of Holy Scroll each."
"Holy Scroll?" Everyone was slightly stunned.
"Yes, I want to reorganize the holy sect's bank and issue holy scrolls. Only with holy scrolls can this medicine be purchased."
Wen Rensheng's routine was very simple. He used a carrot to take out the money stored in the cellars of the landlords, officials and gentry, and the grain and cloth in the warehouses to participate in the market circulation.
Of course, the prerequisite for him to do this is a high degree of control over the ten counties.
We must first solve the problem of food for the residents, establish official shops, and set a standard price to prevent the prices of food and cloth, two daily necessities, from rising and falling sharply.
Otherwise, rashly investing in a high-value commodity may eventually cause the landlords and gentry to squeeze the common people even more intensely to obtain this commodity.
Wen Rensheng then explained his plan one by one.
Everyone was convinced after hearing this.
Regardless of whether it is a lie or not, at least in this way, their military expenditure and military ration problems will be easily solved.
No one knows better than them how much savings the rich and powerful have.
After all, if they have no money, they will rob Fuji himself.
So which one has the money, I have to let the guys find out in advance.
…………
Soon, following Wen Rensheng's order, government-run grain stores and cloth shops were built in the ten counties.
In order to avoid various disadvantages, Wen Rensheng also ordered that the operating status and operating accounts of these two shops should be made public, and anyone can watch and check the entire process.
Although this will inevitably leak secrets and reveal the Heavenly Holy Army's food and fodder reserves... but compared with the disadvantages caused by keeping it secret, it is still worth it.
After all, the main purpose of building them is to ensure that each household can stably buy food and cloth every month.
This can also limit the use of various means by a few large households to take advantage of loopholes to buy rice locally at low prices and sell it to other places at high prices, thus causing material shortages.
As long as it is made public, many privacy methods cannot be used.
For example, if one person is restricted from buying one liter of rice at a low price per day, big households can also hire hundreds or thousands of servants to line up to buy rice every day.
These days, people's labor time is really worthless, especially servants, their time is just their food money.
After it is fully disclosed, everyone will be able to see who is playing tricks. Just the publicity on Xia.com will make many tycoons afraid and unwilling to take advantage of this loophole.
After these two types of shops are established, they will then assume the function of registering household registration...
Each person is limited to how much food they can buy per day, and each purchase is registered once and then added up.
This is much more reliable than going to every household to register.
After all, hiding the population is a common thing.
The government has a head tax and is drafted for service. The more people there are, the greater the disadvantages will be.
In front of a grain store.
"Sir, we are rural households. It is not easy to enter the city. Can't we be allowed to buy dozens more kilograms of grain to take back?" asked several old farmers.
Some people may ask, why do farmers still buy grain?
They sell fine grains and buy coarse grains.
What was sold was rice, and what was bought home was sorghum, millet, sweet potatoes and the like.
Or some sell mulberry leaves... and other cash crops.
So they also need to buy food.
"No, there are regulations above that each person can only buy five liters of rice per day." The clerk refused.
However, those old men still persisted.
How do they know what the rules are? They only know that the clerk is easy to talk to and doesn't hit or curse people, so they have to pester him.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for patrols to come and drive a few people away.
Several old men left the grain store and finally gathered outside the city to smoke dry cigarettes.
"This person from the Demon Cult has ulterior motives." Old Man Jia said.
"They have all rebelled. If you say they have ulterior motives, I just want to laugh." Old Man B laughed.
"Liu Mazi, you are always going to be against me, right?" Old Man A said angrily.
"Wang Beard, you are right, even if you enter the grave, I will pee in front of your grave!" Old Man B argued.
"Okay, you two, the people of the Demon Cult are very powerful. As an upright martial arts sect, we cannot let them continue like this, lest they cause too much trouble to the real dragon in the future." Old Man B said.
"They are very skilled in martial arts and cannot assassinate them. What means should be used to stop them?"
"I have discovered that they have one of their biggest weaknesses."
