Chapter 34: Savages are not worthy of teaching Zhou etiquette?
"Doctor, you have come a long way, in the countryside, the conditions are simple, and I don't have a good gift for you. I have thought about it for a long time, and prepared a hundred stones of grain and three hundred animal skins. I hope you will accept it."
After he finished speaking, he received no reply. The speaker did not dare to raise his head, but knocked his head lower to show his sincerity.
The speaker was wearing an animal skin, holding a lamb in his hand, kneeling on one knee, his head almost touching the ground, motionless. He was a village chief and a savage.
Sun Qing looked at the village in the distance, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then said: "Although you are a savage, this village is running very well. But, do you know what is the biggest problem of these savage villages?"
The village chief did not dare to raise his head and asked in a low voice: "Please ask the doctor for advice."
Sun Qing picked up the riding whip in his hand and whipped it at the village chief. A bloody streak appeared on the village chief's back visible to the naked eye.
"Of course it's because you don't pay taxes to the king!"
"If you don't pay taxes, you have no protection. You are not protected."
"Every villain has short-sightedness. They only think that they can avoid paying taxes when they come to a village like this, but they never think about it. If you don't pay taxes, there will be no protection. Without protection, even if you suddenly perish, who will care?"
Upon hearing this, the village chief buried his head in the soil and said nothing.
Seeing the village chief's appearance, Sun Qing sighed and lost the idea of continuing to toss: It's boring.
"The remote savages colluded with Taoists and tried to assassinate me. Fortunately, this doctor is alert..."
After hearing this, the village chief finally reacted: "Doctor, doctor!"
"We are willing to spend all our wealth just to survive!"
"real?"
While he was speaking, another whip fell on his back, and a blood mark appeared.
"real!
"Then how much is the total wealth of your village?"
The village chief gasped and said bitterly after a long time: "We are willing to submit to the doctor from now on and become his subjects. This time we are willing to hand over to the doctor one thousand stones of food, ten thousand bone arrows, and thirty leather armors."
vice……"
"That's not enough. I want three hundred men and one hundred women."
"doctor!"
"Huh? You don't want to? Forget it if you don't want to." Sun Qing said casually.
"Yes! Yes! It is an honor for a humble person to become a subject of a great master. How can you not want to?"
After kowtowing, the village chief looked back like a zombie, probably because he was thinking about how to mobilize these resources. Unfortunately, Sun Qing lost his patience, and he was not even willing to pretend anymore.
.
Sun Qing waved his hand, and several personal guards took action directly. The village chief was still kneeling on the ground, with several swords inserted in his body.
"Why? I have obviously agreed, because..."
"Anyway, when you die, all the wealth will be mine. What's more, if you don't die, how can the army get rich? If the army doesn't get rich, how can it attract more people to join the army? Without more troops, just
With Yang Cheng's strength, when can I take revenge?" Sun Qing thought silently.
After killing the village chief, several guards dragged the body away, and several more guards took water basins and began to wash the floor. Several more guards lit a sandalwood plant, and after a while, the scene was cleaned up.
, the aroma filled the air, and everything seemed like it had never happened.
"Send me an order to destroy this village and not seal it for a day."
After the military order was passed down, the morale of the soldiers was immediately boosted. The army also began to mobilize, and the soldiers became more active than the other, especially the older veterans. Their eyes were shining at this moment, and each one looked like a
They are all like wild wolves, their humanity gradually disappearing.
Seeing this scene, Sun Qing nodded with satisfaction: "The ancestors once said that the best way to inspire soldiers' fighting spirit is land and women."
"This is just a deserted village in the wild, a small village made up of savages. Over the years, it has grown and grown by not paying taxes. How can this be possible? In the Chao Kingdom, neither the king nor the nobles pay taxes.
, is there any etiquette left?"
"This means we don't even talk about Zhou rites. Since we don't talk about Zhou rites, we are not Zhou people, but barbarians. Do you think we still need to talk about etiquette when dealing with barbarians?"
The butler smiled and agreed: "The doctor is right, they are just a group of barbarians. They are not human beings, so there is no need to talk to them about etiquette."
The etiquette and rules in Zhou Rites are relatively complete. If Zhou Rites were completely followed, most people would be able to live a very good life. But it is a pity that most people are not considered human beings under the provisions of Zhou Rites.
They can only enjoy barbarian treatment.
While Sun Qing was intoxicated with himself, Jiang Hua, Taoist Changkong and members of the Taoist team had arrived at the nearby barren mountains.
The members of this team are all warlocks who have comprehended at least one true meaning of the Five Elements. The leader of the team is a veteran warlock who has comprehended several true meanings of the Five Elements. The leader is the Taoist priest Changkong.
Each Taoist team has distinctive characteristics. Some teams are good at targeting individuals, hunting masters, using warlocks to kill Taoist priests, and using warlocks to kill big monsters. Some teams are good at jointly casting large-scale spells, and they like to encounter armies the most.
When the army is unprepared, a large-scale spell rushes over to clear the ground, which is so refreshing! There are also teams that are good at earth magic and can directly change the terrain by casting spells together...
Therefore, the personnel configuration of these Taoist teams is often fixed. Suddenly a new person came, and everyone was very curious. However, time was too short, and no one asked who Jiang Hua was.
Hiding on the mountain and looking at the troops at the foot of the mountain, these troops were in small groups, often with five or ten people in a small team. The formation was relatively loose and not neat at all. Jiang Hua subconsciously asked Taoist Changkong his own questions in his heart.
"Too dense formation is the way to death."
"The lethality of a spell is not only related to the spell itself, but also has a lot to do with the surrounding environment. The same fireball spell, faced with such a scattered formation, may only kill two or three people. And if it is a dense formation,
, there isn’t much room for a thousand people crowded together. At that time, a fireball exploded in the center of the crowd, and could even kill twenty or thirty people directly, injure hundreds of people, and demoralize the entire army of a thousand people.”
"It's the same when hunting monsters. Sometimes the monsters activate their blood to use magical powers before they die. If the formation is too dense, the casualties will be very serious. Slowly, everyone has canceled the dense formation."
"Of course, we are actually talking on paper. Chao Country has been at peace for eight hundred years. Ever since Senior Tianyan came to Chao Country, Chao Country has maintained peace for a long time. There has never been any large-scale turmoil or war. Over the years, at best, it has been
Occasionally hunt down monsters."
"So, everyone is a novice in this battle, and the competition is who makes fewer mistakes and who sums up experience faster. Next, my lord, you have to watch more, learn more, and think more."
