Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

Gu Ding asked Tang Bo a question after confirming that the demon soul had left: "Why are the demons willing to teach their knowledge to humans?"

Tang Bo smiled, and raised two fingers: "There are two possibilities. Possibility one, the founder of Tumojiao also trapped or captured the demon soul of the demon race, obtained some knowledge of the demon race from it and passed it on. Come down. But compared to this possibility, I think the demons are cultivating enemies for themselves."

"Huh?" Gu Ding was puzzled, "Why do they cultivate enemies for themselves? Are they out of their minds?"

Tang Bo shook his head, "No, their brains are not bad, not only are they not bad, but they are extremely sober. Just imagine, if the White Hart Collar was extremely powerful, everyone would be a magician, and everyone could use magic weapons, no matter if it was the Big Four or not. Shangguo, or other races or countries farther away, are not our opponents, we have dominated the entire Double Moon Planet in a short period of time, and we have no enemies like the demons, and then what do you think will happen?"

Gu Ding opened his mouth subconsciously, and fell into deep thought again. After a while, he said: "Civil war? I don't know, it's a bit hard to imagine. But I always feel that this is not a good thing..."

Tang Bo smiled: "A sage in the place where I came from once said that he was born in sorrow and died in peace. It means that when there are enemies in a country, the country will always be vigilant, strive to improve itself, and dare not slack off And because the people of this country have a common enemy, their cohesion will become stronger, they will have a strong sense of unity, and they will focus on the outside world while ignoring some domestic contradictions.

But if the country has no enemies, it is easy to fall into a state of being content with the status quo and not thinking about making progress, and even become extravagant and arrogant, and foreign conflicts disappear, and the public's attention will be all focused on domestic conflicts. When the enemy is defeated, it means that there is an internal problem and it collapses. "

Gu Ding was stunned, and clapped his hands: "This sentence is too reasonable."

Tang Bo: "Of course, otherwise, how could that person be called a saint."

Tang Bo paused, "We don't have much contact with the demon race, so it's hard to evaluate them. But the demon soul would rather hand over the inheritance palace to you, but refuses to tell us a little bit about the internal affairs of the demon race. Don't you think Is it weird? Judging from the magical knowledge they have mastered, they must be extremely powerful. And such a race is trapped in their world, and can only let the demon soul come out, but the actual body cannot come out. This may be the rule of the universe for other wisdom protection of the race, but that cannot be sustained for long. They may already know how to get out, they just haven't met some of the necessary conditions."

A flash of light flashed in Gu Ding's mind: "You mean that the demons impart magical knowledge to other intelligent races outside, more likely to let other races help them break the shackles from the outside?"

Tang Bo patted him on the shoulder: "The answer is correct, but there is no reward."

Gu Ding blurted out: "The demons are so cunning. On the surface, they seem to be at a disadvantage by imparting knowledge to the outside world, but in fact they are luring other races to attack or explore the inner world of the demons? Maybe they will be attacking and exploring at that time The door opened by helping the demons in the world. Moreover, the deepest and most powerful knowledge must still be firmly in the hands of the demons themselves."

Tang Bo didn't think he had speculated too much, and the same thing happened in some places on the earth.It's just that instead of letting the enemy attack itself, let the enemy deal with other enemies, and the side that "transfers knowledge and benefits" plunders great benefits from the war between the two parties.

Even in order to strike a balance, some big countries will deliberately instigate the hatred between two countries, and secretly provide funds, materials and knowledge to the two countries, so that the two countries will continue to work and consume each other.In this way, a big country can not only obtain various resources from the two countries, but also maintain a high status for a long time, and everyone demands him.

The favorite food of the demons is the soul, and the more painful the soul is, the more delicious it is to them. So is there anything that can create more painful souls than war?

Not to mention that the Demon Race may also count on other intelligent races to help them break through the blockade between the inner world and the outer world.

Gu Ding suddenly worried: "That demon soul gave me a split body of the inheritance palace, saying that I can enter the main inheritance palace through this split palace, is this also a kind of temptation?"

"Temptation is certain." Tang Bo was very indifferent: "This is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity for us. The same is true for the demons. They risk letting others learn their advanced knowledge, but they also hold the possibility of learners. Figure out a way to help them break through the blockade."

"Even if we figure out a way, but don't tell them, they can't help it, right?"

"Maybe we don't need to figure out a way. When you or other impure demons' souls or even bodies enter the inner world of the demons, the blockade has already begun to loosen. Maybe the rules of the universe stipulate that if there are many outsiders If you voluntarily enter the world of the demons, then the demons can go out in a courteous manner." Tang Bo said half-jokingly, and after speaking, he suddenly became alert.

Maybe it's no joke?

But even if they knew this, did they give up the opportunity to enter the world of the demons?

Tang Bo thought that the demons must be very aware of the inferiority of intelligent races, such as him, thinking now: Even if Gu Ding does not enter the Palace of General Inheritance, there will be others who cannot resist the temptation to enter. Since someone is destined to enter, then Why give this benefit to others?At least Gu Ding learns more after entering, and they can become stronger. Even if the demons come out in the future, they will not be all-in-one enemies.

This is a blatant conspiracy.

The demons put the benefits in a cage, and it depends on whether you can resist taking it.

But how many people will be able to resist taking that benefit after grasping such an opportunity?

Tang Bo suddenly aimed at Gu Ding.

Gu Ding was taken aback by him, touched his face and asked: "What's wrong?"

Tang Bo thoughtfully said: "Perhaps the demons released the demon seeds not only to facilitate demonic soul possession, but also to speed up the process of opening the blockade. Do you want to bet with me, the founder of the first generation of Demon Slayer Sect Ten percent is also a demon seed."

Gu Ding blinked: "No gambling. I think he is too."

Tang Bo smiled, "Actually, this is not bad. We and the Bailu leader know that there is a strong enemy of the demons, so we must not dare to slack off. Let's go, it's time to expand the territory. We have to try our best to create as many monsters as possible before the demons come out." Create a country strong enough to resist them and a skill tree that can resist magic."

Gu Ding caught up with him: "You want to tell about the demons?"

"Of course, in the textbooks of our Bailuling in the future, the demon race will be described as the number one enemy of mankind. As long as it is about the demon race, we will write everything about it."

The day after Tang Bo finished speaking, he began to let people take the flying magic train to various parts of the Luma Principality.

On the one hand, it is to do transactions, exchanging with those lords the raw resources needed by the white deer collar.

On the other hand, Tang Bo's main purpose is to buy the territories in their hands from lords from all over the world.

Tang Bo's meaning is obvious: whether to sell the land to Bailuling according to the market price, at least make a fortune, and use this money to go to other places to become a rich man, or wait for Bailuling to get it himself, let him Those lords choose themselves.

The lords who received Tang Bo's message were naturally terrified and angry. The first thing they looked for was the Marquis of Thunder who was stationed in the capital of Luma.

For the past two years, Marquis Thunder has been busy "cleaning up" the Demon Slayer Sect in the Principality of Lanji, and has been away from Luma City for a long time.

Those lords went once and couldn't find anyone, went twice and couldn't find anyone, went three times and couldn't find anyone, and finally someone came to their senses.

It's not that they can't find anyone, it's simply that the Marquis of Thunder is avoiding them and refuses to see them.

But when these lords wanted to go to the capital to cry with the king, they found that they could not leave the territory of the Luma Principality. No matter which way they went, someone would stop them.

Those people didn't beat or scold them, they only said that they had to obtain the consent of the Marquis of Thunder if they wanted to leave the Principality of Luma.If they insisted on leaving, they could only be viewed as gangsters who wanted to betray the news to the Demon Slayer Cult.

So these lords had no choice but to gather their ideas together and discuss what to do.

Among these lords, there are many big figures like Princess Tower, and anyone who can achieve the position of Princess Tower has his own large territory.

But on the day of the party, the lords who came suddenly found that the number was wrong.

The lords of Peacock Territory, Wuyun Territory, Yandong Territory, etc. did not come.

But they all sent their servants to explain the situation, and those servants told these lords: "Our lord has sold his territory and assets to the lord of White Deer long ago, and now the whole family has bought a house and settled down in White Deer City. .”

"Persecution? Of course there is no persecution. Our lord and the lord's wife went to White Deer City to play around, and when they came back, they said they wanted to move, and no one would stop them."

"The selling price? We are just servants, so how could we possibly know the detailed selling price, but it should not be a loss, our lord seems to be in a good mood, and it feels like we are not losing money, but also taking advantage of it."

"Advantage? The advantage is that children can go to school in Bailu City, and the lords can partner with Lord Tang to do business? We don't know the details, but I heard that Bailuling has arranged a visit. Lords are welcome to visit Bailuling."

The person who answered the last question was Gu Ding. He pushed open the door of the conference hall, strode into the conference hall, walked to the top very naturally, and sat on the vacant seat that no one was embarrassed (not qualified).

Lords attending the meeting: "..."

None of these lords wanted to go to Bailuling. Who knows if they could come out after the past, but Gu Ding came over in person and brought a magic train... The most important thing is that he brought five hundred people equipped with magic weapons warrior.

Gu Ding only asked a few warriors to show the lords the strength and precision of long-range strikes with magic weapons, and all the lords who came to the meeting consciously boarded the train.

The interior decoration of the magic train and the magic of being able to fly in the sky shocked the lords.

But none of these can compare to the shock that White Deer City brought to them after they entered White Deer City.

Especially after they met the peacock leader and other lords, they learned about the existence of "magic" from them.

Several lords who have friendly contacts with Tang Bo, such as Peacock Leader, have received Tang Bo's invitation in advance.

On the fourth day when they came to White Deer City, Tang Bo took them to the White Deer Military Academy.

Everything in the military academy dazzled these lords, and they all felt how good it would be if they could let their children enter this school.But when Tang Bo showed them the most mysterious academy, the Academy of Magic, these lords were no longer envious and considering sending their children to study in White Deer City, but wished to move to White Deer Collar immediately.

What is their territory?

What are their assets?

How could these be compared to the mass-produced gods!

Well, not everyone can become a new god-favored person (magician), but there is a high possibility of magicians appearing from noble blood, this is what Tang Bo himself told them.

The reason probably has something to do with the bloodline of the favored ones. The favored ones themselves have the talent to become magicians. The nobles who can give birth to the favored ones from time to time are indeed more likely to give birth to children with magical talents.

When the Peacock Lord and his wife came together, they brought several children with them in order to broaden their horizons.

On the same day, he couldn't wait to ask Tang Bo to help a few children to test to see if any of them could learn magic.

There really are, and there are two.

The lord of the Peacock Land and his wife only discussed it for one night, and the next day they announced that they would sell all the territory and assets in their hands to Tang Bo, and the price was almost half sale and half give away.

Tang Bo didn't let him suffer either. The Peacock Lord is very good in terms of character and ability. The White Deer Collar is just right now. After obtaining the approval of the Peacock Lord himself, Tang Bo directly gave the Peacock Lord a deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce. Position.

Currently, the Ministry of Commerce only has vice ministers and no ministers.The other two deputy ministers, one is Piglet, and the other is Baidou's father, Baihu.

Now a green hole has been added, and the three urge each other to compete for the position of minister.

Lv Kong also has several capable people under his command. He asked Tang Bo for his opinion, and after getting permission, he asked these men to form a company specializing in the production and operation of the original peacock collar's specialty flower-dyed cloth.

The company implements a joint-stock system, with Bailuling holding 50.00% of the shares, Lvkong holding 20.00% of the shares, and Tang Bo holding 20.00% of the shares.

In addition to the Peacock Lord, most of the lords who joined White Hart Collar later established companies in White Hart Collar, and most of the shares were allocated as above.

But this is also the benefit that the first few lords who took refuge in Bailu collar can enjoy. The next ones will either have fewer shares, or control the company's operations, and pay taxes, buy land, rent houses, provide raw materials, etc. Discounts will also be reduced.

But none of this was as powerful as the lure of having a magician in the family.

The nobles may have many idiots, but as long as there is no choice, the heirs of the nobles generally have more brains, even if they are so bad that they have brains.

No matter what these people think in their hearts, they are very clear that in the case of few gods, the magicians that can be mass-produced by Bailuling will inevitably become the most powerful force in the world in the future.

If they don't take the first step at this time, see if there are people with magical talents in the family, and then let them master this power, their families will only become more and more obscured by everyone in the future.

As for joining the White Hart Collar, you will lose your noble status?

So what?

As long as you are not too short-sighted, you will understand that only by mastering power can you master status and wealth.

What's more, Tang Bo was not so harsh that he confiscated all their family property, but bought their land and assets with money, and allowed them to freely trade in Bailuling, but everything must abide by the laws and regulations of Bailuling.

Without the title of nobility, as long as they manage well, they can still maintain their original rich life, and even live a better life than before.

And even if they can't get a job in White Hart Management, their children and grandchildren still have hope after they go to school.

White Deer Collar pays attention to relative fairness, and will not restrain them in this respect. As long as their descendants are really capable, it is not impossible to find a management position.If you can have magical talent, it would be even better to go to the Magic Academy.

Superior living conditions, a territory where you can see a bright future, a wise and calm lord, and... magic!

These temptations quickly swayed the lords who came to visit White Deer City, and as long as one person decided to sell his territory, the persistence of others was even more vulnerable.

There are fewer and fewer lords owning their own territories, and the White Hart collar holds more and more land.

Even the most stubborn lords can't take it anymore, all the people in their territory have run away, okay!There is no one to cultivate the land, and they have left a large piece of land, should they be allowed to plant it by themselves?

Those lords who ran away were not those who didn't want to stop the fleeing citizens, but that nasty mercenary guild actually helped those serfs and farmers escape for free, helped them escape to the White Deer collar, and even hired them to find jobs.

In this way, when His Majesty the King of the Tonglei Kingdom finally received the news that Tang Bo was about to buy the entire Luma Principality, and only one Luma City was missing, he became angry and ordered the Marquis of Thunder and Tang Bo to "have a good talk". I also want Tang Bo to come to the capital.

Tang Bo did not go to the capital, but the Marquis of Thunder rushed to the capital, begged to see the king himself, and had a secret talk with the king.

After that, the king took the ship of White Hart Collar and went to White Hart Collar with the Marquis of Thunder.

Although the king believed that the Marquis of Thunder would not betray him, he still brought five thousand elite soldiers.

When they arrived in Luma City, Tang Bo was already waiting for them there.

A magic train slowly descended from the sky, the door opened, Tang Bo came out of the carriage, faced the dark-faced His Majesty the King with a smile and stretched out his hand: "Your Majesty, welcome to take a trip to White Deer City on my white deer-collared magic train."

One month later, the king of Tonglei Kingdom decreed to confer Tang Bo, the lord of the White Deer Lord, as Grand Duke of White Deer, and granted Tang Bo all the territories of the former Luma Principality including Luma City.

The whole country was in an uproar, but the grand dukes of the other three principalities were as quiet as chickens.They have all sent spies into Bailuling to investigate. Bailuling is not like before. Whenever they encounter spies, they will kill them, and no news will be spread.

Now Bailuling even welcomes these spies to come, as long as they don't go to some places they shouldn't go, everything else is up to them.

What makes the grand dukes of the three major duchies extremely depressed is that the spies they sent before did not come back, and it can be concluded that they were killed. Kill, but they themselves do not want to come back.

Some spies came back, but after they came back, they secretly arranged for their family members and relatives to go to Bailuling to live together, and then they ran away after handing in the mission.

But no matter what, these grand dukes have more or less collected some information about the White Hart Principality. For other situations, they think it is a bit exaggerated, but it has been confirmed that the White Hart collar has powerful special weapons.

I didn't see the king and I confessed to be cowardly, obediently conferred the original Luma Principality to Tang Bo?

Just when His Majesty the King of Tonglei Kingdom and his three grand dukes were worried about whether Tang Bo would expand outwards (hit them), they discovered that Tang Bo was expanding outwards, but not towards them, but towards them. To the mysterious and primitive Shiwan Dashan...

Four years later, a new country, the White Deer Kingdom, appeared in the Hundred Thousand Mountains near the White Deer Principality.

This country continues to collect all the land of the Shiwan Dashan, and continues to extend southeast, all the way to the sea, and spread to the island.

Ten years later, even if the White Deer Principality was mentioned in Tonglei, it was no longer called the Principality, but confused with the White Deer Kingdom next to it.The rulers of the country are all alone, can they not mix together?

The king of the Tonglei Kingdom made it clear that he wanted to hide his ears and steal the bell to the end. As long as Tang Bo didn't tell him that the White Deer Principality had been merged into the White Deer Kingdom, he would pretend that the White Deer Principality was still a part of the Tonglei Kingdom.

This situation has been maintained until the death of King Tonglei of this generation. At the same time as the new King Tonglei succeeded to the throne, Grand Duke Tang Bo of the White Deer Principality finally announced to the world that the White Deer Principality was merged into the White Deer Kingdom.At the same time, they invited the princes and grand dukes of the four great kingdoms and other countries to come to the capital of Bailu to participate in the National Day Ceremony.

What is shocking is that at the state banquet of the White Deer Kingdom, Tang Bo and Gu Ding, who should be middle-aged, still look as young and handsome as they did decades ago.

It was also at that time that magic finally changed from secret to public. At this time, the world knew the existence of the Bailu State-owned Magic Academy, and Tang Bo, Gu Ding and others were very powerful holy magicians.

For a while, the Four Great Kingdoms and even some nearby forces flocked to the White Deer Country, wanting to send their children to the White Deer Academy of Magic.

The White Deer Kingdom never rejects anyone who comes, as long as they pass the test, no matter where they come from or what race they are from, they will accept them all.

In this way, the White Deer Kingdom leapfrogged the Four Great Great Powers in terms of overall strength and reputation.

But the White Deer Kingdom doesn't have much interest in annexing the territories of other countries. They seem to be only interested in the wild and uninhabited land, and they continue to occupy the islands in the sea.

At the beginning, the lords of the Shang Kingdom did not quite understand the meaning of the White Deer Lord, but when the mysterious veil on the other side of the sea was revealed and a new intelligent race appeared, the lords of the Shang Kingdom realized that they were actually surrounded Yes, many barren places such as seaside territories are occupied by the White Deer Kingdom, and if they want to go to sea, they must obtain the consent of the White Deer Kingdom, because the high seas and islands belong to the White Deer Kingdom.

To make matters worse, when they wanted to join forces to resist the White Deer Kingdom, uprisings demanding democracy and fairness broke out in the four major kingdoms.

Tang Bo and Gu Ding didn't care about the internal wars of the four great powers. Over the years, they have trained generations of manpower.These people are now the powerful branches of the White Deer Kingdom. With them, Tang Bo can finally let go of the management of the White Deer Kingdom.

Tang Taishanghuang Bo can finally live the salted fish retirement life of his dreams.

But Gu Ding couldn't sit still. After 20 years of being the Lord of Bailu, he also got bored. He threw the position of Lord to Bai Ji, and took Tang Bo, who had been sleeping all day long, to the sea. The expedition is gone, and it is also called expanding the mercenary guild.
