I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing did some calculations, and the Mengshe Zhao at this time was only one of the six tribes.

In the future, he will unify the remaining five tribes through continuous annexation, collectively called Nanzhao.

Of course, Mengshe Zhao's ability to unify the five tribes is also inseparable from the support of Datang.

Because the Tang Dynasty needed Mengshe Zhao to contain Tubo, and Tubo is now located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of later generations. If Tubo wants to invade the Tang Dynasty, it must go from the Western Regions or from the south.

Because of the Silk Road, the Western Regions are basically controlled by Datang. Only the southern part has deep mountains and dense forests. Datang's control is not strong enough, and it is not easy to fight. It can only support the local forces.

Basically, whoever is powerful here will be supported by Datang.

To put it simply, Nanzhao is the buffer zone between Tubo and Datang, but this buffer zone also played a less bright role during the Anshi Rebellion and when the national power of the Tang Dynasty was weak.

Of course, that's all later, and the current Six Edicts are still in a split state.

Luo Shixing took Alezhen to the flower hall and asked, "Why did Meng Shezhao come here to trouble me?"

Mengshezhao is also a relatively powerful tribe among the six imperial edicts. The Ouluo tribe is probably not qualified to be an enemy of others, and his reputation should not be so great that even Mengshezhao knows it?

It's even more unlikely that Wu Zhao felt regretful to kill him after letting him go. To be reasonable, if Wu Zhao wanted to kill him, he could just issue an order to the Annan Protectorate.

Alezhen sat down with his daughter in his arms and sighed, "Mengshezhao also suffered a disaster this year. When they encounter various natural disasters, they are used to coming to our side to find food and other supplies."

Luo Shixing gritted his teeth a bit when he heard him say that he was looking for the word "Looking for". It is estimated that this search is no different from looting.

He thought about the geographical location, and felt that it was normal for Liuzhao to choose this way.

The location of Liuzhao is on the side of Yunnan in later generations, and now it is considered to be north of them. The geographical location of Liuzhao is that there is Tubo in the northwest and Tang Dynasty in the northeast.

These two can be regarded as superpowers at the moment, who can he offend?No one can afford to offend.

Looting Tubo is impossible, not only fear of being beaten, but also technical difficulty, looting Datang...it depends on where to loot.

It is not a problem to go to the Central Plains, but it is no problem to go to the south.

It is said that this is the land of the Tang Dynasty, but the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty is not very strict. If it is described by the relationship of later generations, it has the meaning of an autonomous region.

It is still an autonomous region that the imperial court does not care much about.

The corner of Luo Shixing's mouth twitched: "And then? Why did you come over and snatch me?"

Alzhen explained: "He has suffered a disaster, and we have also suffered a disaster."

In fact, when Mengshezhao sent people out, there was nothing to do here, and it was precisely because of this that Mengshezhao sent people over to prepare for an autumn breeze.

Unexpectedly, it was almost here, and it started to rain here, and then a mudslide occurred.

What if the robber finds out that the home to be robbed is destitute?Wasn't it a waste of time to go back home?

So the people who were sent out were going to search to see if there were any places that were not seriously affected by the disaster, so that they could bring back a little bit.

They overheard someone saying that the high priest of the Ouluo tribe in the mountains was giving out porridge. Since the porridge was being given out, there must be food.

Let's talk about it!

It's just that they don't want to give Datang any excuses. If Datang finds out that they have robbed the tribes in the south, it will be very troublesome.

It just so happened that the refugees in the county had a lot of complaints about outsiders, and they were also a little dissatisfied with the high priest who accepted outsiders but ignored them.

Especially knowing that when their high priest was just in his teens and brought a group of children to live in the manor, the people sent by Meng Shezhao slapped his thighs and could take advantage of them, so he led them pretending to be disaster victims from other places , Inciting a little people to come to grab food, and they hide in it.

In fact, the general of Mengshe Zhao had a very good plan. If it was an ordinary person, he might have really understood the truth. At the same time, he split the Ouluo tribe. At that time, he could even pretend to be a member of the Ouluo tribe to rob other tribes. .

It's a pity that he met Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei, and the most unfortunate thing was that Luo Shixing had just invented a big killer.

Originally, Luo Shixing did this for construction projects, and had no intention of using it in wars. Who wants to fight wars if they can live a good life.

What is logistics in war? What is logistics?It's all money, even if Luo Shixing is not a money fan, he would not be willing to spend money for nothing.

But it just so happened that these people wanted to rob, but they were beaten up.

The reason was too tortuous. Luo Shixing couldn't help being silent after hearing this, and looked at Alezhen angrily after a long while: "Why are you pretending to be pitiful? You can't even look down on anyone, and you were even incited!"

Ale is really helpless. Although the manor does not say that the little lynx is eloquent, basically everyone will listen to what he says.

However, the Ouluo clan...don't there still be a few elders?These elders do not work hard every day and do not want to contribute money, food and people for disaster relief. When Alzhen was about to take out things, he ran to him shamelessly and said: Our family is also affected by the disaster, the patriarch will help us Bar.

Alzhen was already distressed by the disaster, but after hearing about it, he became even more angry.

At this time, even he found that if he wanted to rescue the disaster, he had to press down all these people first.

During this process, Luo Shixing actually did Alezhen a favor, because when those elders wanted to form an alliance against him, Alezhen asked them to visit the homes of the First Elder and the Fourth Elder.

The homes of these two elders are still vacant until now, because this is Luo Shixing's spoils of war, and Luo Shixing didn't want to move here, so it has been vacant.

Because too many people died in these two courtyards, no one dared to fight.

In this disaster, these two courtyards are the best preserved, and even the bloodstains on the ground can still be faintly seen.

Alzhen said it very simply: "The high priest has already started to help the victims in the mountains. I heard that he is very unhappy because of our ineffective relief. Be careful yourself."

It just so happened that Cheng Jingwei took the wolves out to scare people in order to maintain the order of the refugees in those two days. In the middle of the night, the wolves howled around the dishonest people.

The elders didn't dare to say anything when they turned off the flames one by one, so Ale really freed up his hands to start dealing with the refugees.

But the problem is that the remaining population in the county needs to be registered. To see how many people have been lost, the only one who can register is Wei Siwen.

Of course Alezhen can help, but he has other things to do as the patriarch.

After coming and going, his control over the refugees has weakened a lot.

Luo Shixing's only thought after listening to him was: This is the loss of being uneducated.

Even if Alezhen himself has read books, it is outrageous that only two of them can read and write in a whole county.

Luo Shixing thought for a while and asked, "Can your elders clean up?"

Alezhen always felt that the demeanor and temperament of the little lynx seemed to be different from before. Although the other party's tone was very calm, but that demeanor felt like Alezhen. There are several.

He asked cautiously, "What do you mean by tidying up?"

Luo Shixing took a deep breath: "What else do you mean? Can you choose a smarter patriarch? Everyone is short-sighted and as timid as a mouse!"

Alejan: ...

Although it was the elder who was scolded, he felt that he was not much better.

He couldn't and didn't dare to refute, so he just sat there.

Luo Shixing hated iron for being weak: "You really don't have any face when you are the patriarch. You have been subject to them all the time. What's the point of being the patriarch?"

Ale really couldn't turn his head around: "But... this is the ancestor..."

"What about the ancestors? You don't even have a record. Isn't that what you say? Do you know what centralization is?"

Luo Shixing was tired. He felt that when he came here, he didn't do good things related to politics. He pushed people to seize power every day, but it didn't work if he didn't push. The polyarchy of the Ouluo tribe affected himself.

When he said this, Al really didn't react, but everyone else looked at him.

The concept of centralization has actually been throughout Chinese civilization since the unification of Qin Shihuang, but during the feudal empire period, people did not sum up such a term, they just did it subconsciously.

Al was really studious, and asked modestly, "What is centralization?"

"The so-called centralization means that the local government has no independence in terms of economy, politics, and military affairs, and must obey the leadership of the central government. In your current situation, those elders do not need to be independent. They just assist you in handling various affairs. The decision needs to be made by you, understand?"

Alezhen was very moved after hearing this, and really wanted to discuss this issue of centralization with Little Lynx.

However, Li Youdao next to him coughed lightly: "This...it won't be easy to solve in a while, let's solve it now."

This silly boy, you can't let these tribes really unite. Their unity is not good for Datang. The scattered southern tribes are what Datang needs. Once the internal struggles of these tribes disappear and their strength begins to grow, they will be a threat to Datang.

Luo Shixing took a look at Li Youdao and shut up. In fact, he knew the concept of centralization, but it had to be based on the actual situation. Al really asked him to think of a way, but he couldn't think of it.

Alzhen naturally sensed that Li Youdao had selfish intentions, so he looked at Luo Shixing and asked, "What do you think should be done now?"

"Let's slap these elders first."

Al was really taken aback: "Is...is this too much? They will definitely not agree."

This is equivalent to letting all the elders stand on the same front. Even Alezhen used to win over and suppress them before, just because he was afraid that they would be twisted into one rope. In that case, he, the patriarch, might really want to go down.

Luo Shixing smiled very kindly: "You tell them what I meant, and then ask them whether they want the position of elder or the death of the whole family."

Al really choked, this threat... he was scared even after hearing it.

He couldn't help asking: "Why are you in such a hurry? Wouldn't it be smoother to break through one by one?"

Luo Shixing restrained the smile on his face and said expressionlessly, "Because I don't want to worry about someone's backstabbing when I'm doing the Mengshe Zhao."

Before going outside, stabilize the rear first, there is nothing wrong with it.
