Back Off, Let Me Come

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 own 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. , 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 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. Like the southwest, they are completely exterminated. The second is assimilation and absorption. After hundreds of years of war, the population of various 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, as people's livelihoods have recovered, the fertility rate 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 expected 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 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 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 and starve, exchanging 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 also 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 bandits 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.

With the complete completion of the southwest territory, the plan to open up the waterway discussed with Qin Li before has to be revised: "A few days ago, Cui presented a map from the people. The mountains and rivers drawn on it are what they looked like before the thief star fell from the sky. I used that map as a template and initially planned to open up and merge all these waterways, from here, here, then here, and then from here to the sea..."

Before the emergence of supernatural powers such as Wen Xin Wu Dan, the speed of change of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas was extremely slow. The map of more than two hundred years ago was not much different from that of five hundred years ago. Shen Tang has been studying these days. The more he looks at it, the more he feels that the direction of these terrains seems to have been deliberately arranged by someone. With the help of the direction of the mountains and rivers in the coastal areas, the erosion and pollution of the land by marine radiation can be blocked to the maximum extent.

Luo Sha said that the offshore environment has improved a lot.

In other words, some of the original "barriers" can be removed.

After the removal, they will be changed into places suitable for human habitation and cultivation.

Xun Zhen stared at her pointing fingers, and her breathing gradually became heavier. The master moved his mouth, the Ministry of Works ran his legs off, and the Ministry of Households went bankrupt on the spot. He hurriedly pulled out the people from the Ministry of Industry as a shield.

It is not difficult to open up the merger, but the difficulty lies in the fact that after opening up the merger, the impact on the surrounding areas is in all aspects, from farming to ecology to the migration of nearby common people. Which one does not require the cooperation of three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons? This matter involves a lot.

The master will take the lead, and they will handle the rest.

Xun Zhen is really afraid that she will get carried away.

It's okay if the matter is completed, but the fear is that it will be found that it doesn't work halfway through, and the previous investment will be wasted. Wouldn't that be the end of Xun Zhen's life? The larger the scale of the project, the more people involved, and the more loopholes there are. Xun Zhen naturally has to control each process in advance to prevent the possibility of wasting a penny and embezzlement!

No one! Can! Be! Greedy! For! One! Cent! Shen Tang smiled and said, "I am impatient."

Xun Zhen hesitated again and hinted at the crisis of the national treasury-if the master wants to smoothly implement the project, he must find a way to fill the national treasury. No matter if it's burning, killing, looting or other ways, he just wants money.

Speaking of which, the master did have a small fortune recently.

Why should he be on guard against himself, the Minister of Revenue?

Is he afraid that he will swallow the unexpected wealth?

Shen Tang: "..."

Why do you mention such an unlucky thing on a happy 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 blessing of having two wives!

When this thought came to her mind, she couldn't help but hold her forehead.

People laugh when they are extremely speechless.

Others thought it was a happy event, but only Gu Chi heard her inner voice and complained: "There is no cow or horse in the world who is more conscious than me. Other cows and horses just drink a cup of iced American coffee to refresh themselves when they are tired. I have been borrowing money to pay for work all year round and I feel like selling myself..."

What kind of dog coin job is this! ! !

Didn't she really kill people, set fire to the universe in her previous life? ? ?

Gu Chi: "..."

To be honest, he felt a little sympathetic towards a certain high priest. He only wanted to serve God wholeheartedly, but you, my Lord, your idea is a little dangerous. Gu Chi silently wrote down today's inspiration.

Shen Tang made a fortune by threatening Cui.

Xun Zhen became rich by exploiting the Lord.

After getting the account book of "unexpected wealth" from Shen Tang, his eyes were obviously brighter, as if he had caught a hundred or eighty fireflies and stuffed them into his eyeballs as light bulbs. He flipped through a few pages and laughed so hard that his back teeth were about to come out: "Cui is smart."

The poverty of the southwest does not affect the wealth of the noble families.

It makes sense that Cui Zhi of the Cui family can be the president of the southwest branch.

He can't deal with a weirdo like his Lord who doesn't play by the rules, can he deal with the noble families? That is a familiar circle that he has played since he was a child, and he is familiar with all kinds of methods. If he doesn't take action, it's fine, but if he does, it will kill him!

Shen Tang said, "He has to protect his daughter."

That Cui Longnujun probably didn't expect that she would have to pay such a high price for her momentary mercy and unwillingness to silence someone. After this vote, the foundation that Cui's family had accumulated in the southwest was basically gone, and they could only move to the northwest and change the environment to integrate back into it.

Shen Tang used Cui's family as a knife to cut meat from the fat sheep ranked in the southwest. The big fat sheep couldn't do anything to Shen Tang, but they could vent their anger on Cui's family. Even if Cui's family was still rich, the clan members couldn't find a family of equal status to marry, so they could only be compatible with the lower class, and all the people of equal status were offended.

Shen Tang knew how to be moderate.

Exploit Cui Zhi, reuse Cui Mi, and treat Cui Xiong well.

Cui Hui went into seclusion recently.

Even if Cui Zhi wanted to overturn the table, he would be afraid to do it, so he could only endure it!

Shen Tang's relaxed brows frowned again after a while: "This little bit of profit is just a drop in the bucket for the entire southwest deficit."

This battle was a bit of a loss.

She could make up for it by developing well, but she lacked time to develop now. The southwest war had just ended, and it would not be long before the central part would catch up. The cattle and horses had holidays, but she could only work around the clock.

Xun Zhen saw that she was in a bad mood and painted a rosy picture for her: "My lord, don't be too pessimistic. It will get better in a year or two."

I have survived for so many years, and I am still afraid of this?

Shen Tang: "..."

Shen Tang spent this year outside.

The workload reached the peak in recent years. Just writing encouragement and blessings to officials made me tired. I seriously suspected that I had tendonitis. I stopped writing on New Year's Eve and unblocked it on the afternoon of the first day of the new year. I ate a bowl of knife-cut noodles cooked by Chu Yao himself with four eggs during the New Year.

"I haven't had such a quiet New Year for a long time."

In previous years in Fengluo, the New Year atmosphere could last for a whole month.

Halfway through the first month of the lunar year, all the people around me who could be sent out have been sent out, and it suddenly became much quieter...ah, not much quieter. The Dingding court meeting was unprecedented in scale, and the noise of the civil and military fights rose, comparable to the quacking of tens of millions of ducks in the ears.

"My Lord, is my Lord missing?"

Qin Li escaped from the melee and hurriedly logged off.

When he ran to the Lord's side, he heard a scream.

"Ahhhh - cockroaches -"

Shen Tang was not afraid of cockroaches, but she was afraid that cockroaches would suddenly fly onto her face! Just now, she was watching the court officials fighting each other, and her ears were sharp enough to hear something, and as a result, she saw two cockroaches half the size of a palm flying over, and her heart almost stopped.

She picked up the wooden sandals she had someone make and slapped them.

When Qin Li came over, he saw her with a ferocious expression and said, "Damn it, nuclear weapons, zombies, natural disasters, and the end of the world can't kill you!"

Not only did the cockroaches not become extinct, they grew even bigger!

Is this scientific?

She threw away the wooden sandals with the cockroach corpses stuck on them, and endured the nausea to let the palace maids and eunuchs come in to clean up. She looked up and saw Qin Li.

"I have never seen such a big cockroach before."

Qin Li said: "Neither have I seen it."

It is strange to say that the closer to the coast, the more strange species there are. Palm-sized cockroaches are just appetizers. Qin Li even saw mice as big as piglets a few days ago. However, these mice are not common and are rare delicacies.

According to local county records, there were many larger and more deformed animals before, but they were all eaten to death by the hungry people.

Cockroaches...

The existence that the hungry people can't eat.

In order to prevent similar incidents from causing the master to lose the line, Qin Li suggested that the master should recall the guards. If nothing else, at least the blind cockroaches can be prevented. When Shen Tang reconnected, the court officials had already made a sound through fighting.

Shen Tang: "..."

The efficiency has been greatly improved compared to before.

She asked, "Any result?"

Just when Xun Zhen was about to speak, dozens of eyes shot at him like knives, and he almost got a stitch in the side. Reluctantly, he said, "I think that Quguo is an ally after all. Since they asked for grain..."

The quarrel at the court meeting was because of the grain borrowing issue.

It is hard to say whether Quguo is really short of grain or just testing.

To borrow or not?

This is a question.

Represented by Xun Zhen, they don't want to borrow, for reasons including but not limited to the landlords' surplus grain and the fact that they can use this opportunity to drag down the allies of Quguo to death, and play the main game of "a friend dies rather than a poor Taoist". Represented by Chu Yao, they are more inclined to borrow and kill the Central Region first.

Don't just feel sorry for the money, but also consider the reputation in history!

It is not a good reputation to backstab an ally before the war is over.

What if the Central Region and Quguo cannot be dragged down at once?

Won't Kangguo lose more than it gains?

Borrow grain and let Quguo hold on for a while longer.

Give your side some time to develop.
