Chapter 1320 1320: The highest state 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 affairs of the foreign tribes in the southwest, he expressed his thoughts directly - when the foreigners saw a murderer one.
If you don’t kill them now, you will be punished 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 'people 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. , not sincerely surrendering, if anything happens in the future, they will be evil wolves that invade the house!" It can also be seen from Luo Sha's words that he really does not 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. Complete genocide like in the southwest, and the second is assimilation and absorption. After hundreds of years of war, the population of all parts of the mainland has changed." The country has suffered a sharp decline and people's livelihood is in ruins. It is almost at the end of the war and most in need of self-cultivation. If all the foreign races in the northwest are slaughtered, Kang will have to 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 Kangguo, with the recovery of people's livelihood, the fertility rate among the northwest people has also skyrocketed year by year. Last year alone, there were 1.56 million more newborns, reaching the highest level in a century. Newborns and young children died in infancy. The rate is also halved year by year. It is completely expected that if this rate continues, even if Wen Da's twelve-year period is not given and Shen Tang is given thirty years to develop, even if she does not take the initiative to expand externally, other territories in the mainland 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. The bloody massacre in the city caused by that attempt to appease and educate the prisoners was a bloody lesson!
"I am a dragon or an insect in one day." She said the most arrogant words in the calmest tone. Shen Tang's response later made Luo Sha shudder. She said, "The people have secretly destroyed the Northern Desert Shiwuliang." The literature and materials of the clan, the children also learn the elegant words of Kangguo, and the adults should also learn 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. After thinking about it carefully, he was shocked to realize how cruel it was. He opened his mouth in confusion.
Shen Tang understood what he wanted to ask.
"Are you curious about the civil and military reactions of people from two ethnic groups?"
"They can't possibly agree, can they?"
If Luo Sha was theirs, they wouldn't agree.
No matter how many blood feuds there are, this body of flesh and blood cannot be replaced. The lord they are loyal to wants to completely erase the existence of their own clan mentally. Even people who have no feelings for their own clan cannot be completely indifferent, right? Luo Sha is confused.
Shen Tang said quietly: "They don't know."
There are only a few people who truly realize Shen Tang's purpose.
Several of 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 was indeed bad. Their own system flaws meant that only a small number of vested interests recognized the existence of their tribe. The common slaves at the bottom could not I don't want to go back to the hard days of starving and exchanging my life for survival supplies. Basically, public opinion is in favor of Shen Tang.
She doesn't have to do anything. She only needs to take care of these aliens at the bottom when she governs, and she can make them burst into tears and let them go where Shen Tang wants them to go. They will actively integrate into the local language and cultural environment, like a drop of ink. When you enter a pool of water, you will be swallowed up silently. It is these people who abandon their own language and culture on their own initiative, not because of her force.
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 also did not think that slaves and other lower-class people could inherit any culture. Culture was something that only high-ranking nobles were qualified to touch. Luxury goods.
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 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 had a labor force of around 100,000 people.
Shen Tang shook his head: "That's not true, the situation is different."
She is not a trash can. She is willing to collect any garbage. The conflict between the northwest countries and the foreign tribes in the northwest is a blood feud accumulated over time. There is no hatred between the two sides where one party's education was eaten up by the other. They can accept the winner even if they pinch their noses. The outcome of being the king and the loser is the bandit, but forget it about this group of aliens in the southwest. Such things that betray others and cannibalize people at any time will die early and be born early.
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 painted 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 Wen Xin and Wu Dan, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas changed at an extremely slow rate. Compared with the maps of more than two hundred years ago, they were very different from those of five hundred years ago. Shen Tang has been studying these days, and the more he sees, the more The more I feel 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 dismantled.
After demolition, it will be converted into a place suitable for human habitation and farming.
Xun Zhen stared at her pointing fingers, and her breathing gradually became heavier. When the Lord moved his mouth, the Ministry of Work broke his legs, and the Ministry of Households went bankrupt on the spot. He hurriedly pulled out the people from the Ministry of Work as a shield.
It is not difficult to complete the merger. 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 handle the rest.
Xun Zhen was really afraid that her brain would get hot.
It worked out well, but I was afraid that I would find out half way through that it wouldn’t work, and all the previous investments would be wasted. Wouldn’t that cost Xun Zhen her life? The larger the project, the more people involved, among whom the loopholes were exploited There are more places. Xun Zhen naturally has to control all processes in advance to eliminate the possibility of any wastage and corruption!
No one! Can! Greed! 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 successfully implement the project, he must find a way to replenish the treasury. Whether it is 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 windfall?
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!
When this idea came to her mind, she couldn't help but hold her forehead.
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 still think about it consciously." Selling oneself..."
What kind of dogecoin job is this!!!
Did she really not kill people or set fire to blow up the universe in her previous life???
Gu Chi: "..."
To be honest, he sympathized with a certain high priest. He only wanted to serve God wholeheartedly, but you, my lord, your ideas are a bit dangerous. Gu Chi silently wrote down today's inspiration.
Shen Tang made a fortune by threatening Cui.
Xun Zhen became rich by exploiting his superiors.
After getting the account book of "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. He flipped through a few pages and smiled so hard that his teeth They are about to come out: "Mr. Cui is on the road."
The poverty in Southwest China does not affect the wealth of aristocratic families.
It makes sense for Cui Zhen to be the director of the southwest branch.
He can't deal with a weirdo like his master who doesn't play according to common sense, so why can't he deal with the likes of the aristocratic family? This is a familiar circle that people have been in since childhood, and they are all familiar with all kinds of methods. If they don't take action, they will do it. It’s death!
Shen Tang said: "He has to protect his daughter."
Lady Cui Long probably never imagined that she would have to pay such a high price for being kind and unwilling to silence her. After this act, the foundation accumulated by the Cui family in the southwest is basically finished, and they can only move to the northwest and change the environment again. Integrate.
Shen Tang used Cui as a knife and cut the meat from the fat sheep ranked high in the southwest. The big fat sheep could not help Shen Tang, but they could vent their anger on Cui. Even though Cui was still rich and noble, However, when people in the tribe cannot find a well-matched family for marriage, they can only be backward compatible, and all the well-matched ones will be offended.
Shen Tang knows how to be moderate.
Squeeze Cui Zhi, reuse Cui Mi, and treat Cui Xiong well.
Cui Hui went to retreat recently.
Even if Cui Zhi wants to lift the table, he will throw a trap at him, 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 fought at 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 had holidays, and she could only keep spinning.
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 was so overwhelming that I seriously suspected that I had tenosynovitis. I only sealed the pen on New Year's Eve and unblocked it on the afternoon of the first day of the new year. During the New Year, I ate a bowl of Chu Yao's hand-cooked food and added four pills. Egg noodle.
"It's been a long time since I've had such a lonely year."
In previous years in Fengluo, the flavor of the New Year could last for a whole month.
Halfway through the first month of the first lunar month, all the people around me who could be sent out were sent out, and it suddenly became a lot deserted...ah, not that much deserted. The scale of the DingTalk meeting was unprecedented, and the civil and military quarrels were as high as tens of millions of ducks quacking in my ears. Sound.
"My lord, my lord is missing?"
Qin Li escaped from the melee and hurriedly logged off.
I ran quickly to the master's side 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 watched the courtiers fighting each other, and her ears were keen to hear some noise, but she saw two cockroaches about half a palm in size flying towards her, and her heartbeat Almost stopped.
I 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 raised her eyes 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. Cockroaches as big as a palm are just appetizers. Qin Li even saw mice as big as piglets a few days ago. However, these mice are not common, and they are even more common. It is 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 similar incidents from causing the master to go offline, Qin Li suggested that the master should recall his personal guards. If nothing else, at least it would eliminate cockroaches with no eyes. When Shen Tang was reconnected, the courtiers had already fought and fought. a voice.
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 were shot at him like knives, and he almost lost his temper. He said reluctantly: "I thought that Qu State was an ally after all, so since we have offered 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 just a test.
Borrow or not?
This is a problem.
Those represented by Xun Zhen did not want to borrow money. 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 the allies of Qu State, hoping that a dead Taoist friend would not die in poverty. Those represented by Chu Yao were more inclined. To borrow, 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?
Isn’t it true that Kang Guo stole the chicken but failed to lose the rice?
Borrow food to allow Qu Guo to persist for a while.
