Chapter 272 Farmer
Seeing Zhao Yinshun's serious expression, Oakley Yani seemed to have guessed something and changed the topic with a smile.
"By the way, I have good news for you."
The boy in white raised his head and blurted out subconsciously: "Is someone coming to slide the shovel?"
"what??"
"No, did I ask if an enemy came to the door?"
“…”
After a short silence, Oakley Yani pursed her lips out of anger.
"This time is really good news. The [Gabken] Canal has been opened, and the sailing distance from Taixi to Damin has been shortened by more than half. The canal, if it is fast, it will reach Luzhou early next year.”
However, upon hearing this, Zhao Yinshun was not happy but worried.
Because this means that the cost of projecting power to the East by the Western countries is also greatly reduced!
In the current situation of strength and weakness, a long distance is actually the best barrier for Damin.
But in the future, what he will face will probably not be a partial division of the countries, but the main army of the eight classics!
Even, in the worst case, he must consider the situation where the entire Taixi continent unites and does everything in his power to dismember Daemin!
The key is that this possibility is not low!
The vast territory, huge population, and abundant resources are the most terrifying "muscles" when the empire is strong!
But when the Empire was terminally ill, these became alluring "fat" that wolves and leopards coveted.
is like a strong elephant. When it is healthy, it is the king who runs wild on the grasslands. Even the lions will detour when they meet.
But when it was dying on the ground, it was surrounded by countless bloodthirsty beasts.
As long as a brave person rushes up to take the first bite, the **** beast will swarm up to dismember it and eat it!
Rubbing his chin, Zhao Yinshun felt a little bit of excitement at the same time as he felt the heavy pressure.
Damin's perverted level of national endowment is destined that no Taixi Empire can swallow it alone.
Driven by the temptation of interests, the Taixi powers are likely to put aside their internal conflicts first and point their guns at Damin in unison.
After all, this ancient and huge empire is too tempting. Instead of fighting each other to death, it is better to pick up soft persimmons and take advantage of the decline of Damin, and unite to completely dismember and devour it!
So...for the foreseeable future, he will face hell-level "game difficulty"!
However, it is precisely because of the challenges that this "game" is particularly interesting!
Aware of the brutal smile that flickered in the boy's eyes, Oakley Yani tilted her head in confusion.
【Gabken】Why are you so excited about the opening of the canal?
Do you still want to go to Taixi to do something?
suppressed the doubts in her heart, and Oakley Yani opened her mouth to draw Zhao Yinshun's attention back.
"The [Colonial Ship] arrived earlier. How is your deep-water port construction? It's fun if you can't get to the shore at that time."
"No problem, I transferred 100,000 prisoners to [Egret Town]. It is expected that the infrastructure will be repaired before the spring."
Looking at the confident young man, Oakley Yani nodded thoughtfully, opened her mouth to speak, suddenly her expression changed, and she looked at the distant sky.
"What's wrong?"
"A guest is coming."
"guest?"
Zhao Yinshun raised his eyebrows and feet and narrowed his eyes slightly: "The enemy?"
"It shouldn't be. He seems to be looking for you. Let's go and join me to meet this distinguished guest."
stood up, Oakley Yani gently pulled the boy's hand, and the two disappeared instantly, appearing in the field outside the city without warning.
Standing in the middle of the one-meter-wide trail, all that I can see is a piece of gold.
The full wheat ears bent the straw, and countless farmers were working hard in the fields.
It's just different from the numb and empty expressions before. At this moment, their faces are filled with uncontrollable joyful smiles, their simple eyes are shining with sparkling luster, and their whole body is exuding endless vitality!
Among the peasants, an old man with gray hair raised his head and smiled and nodded after seeing Zhao Yinshun.
Immediately, he put down the farm implement in his hand, straightened his hunched body, and walked towards the two of them step by step.
Clad in rough cloth, with a white towel tied on his head, and a pair of simple straw sandals under his feet, the unremarkable old peasant walked up to the two of them step by step, clasping his fists in a salute without being humble or arrogant.
"Old peasant Heli, I have seen Lord Wu'an and the high priest."
"The elderly don't need to be more polite."
Seeing him so gentle and polite, Zhao Yinshun quickly raised his hand to help him.
"I don't know if my father-in-law came to [Liuyin Fengguo] this time, what advice would you give me?"
After helping the old man up, Zhao Yinshun asked straight to the point.
"Well, when I heard that Lord Wu'an practiced the method of [Ploughing and Warfare] in Feng Nai, the old farmer was very curious and came here to visit, but he couldn't hide from the high priest's eyes."
Looking at Oakley Yani wearing a gorgeous crown mask, He Li shook her head with emotion.
Guessing the old man's heels and feet, Zhao Yinshun's eyes rolled, and he suddenly became enthusiastic.
"I wonder how the old man feels?"
"Very good! Very good! Lord Wu'an divides the land equally, encourages farming, so that the cultivators have their own fields, and there is no hunger and cold under the rule. It is indeed a great merit!"
Thumbs up sincerely, He Li praised without hesitation.
"Since this is the case, can the old man help me so that the people of the world can be fed and clothed?"
Holding the old man's rough hand tightly, Zhao Yinshun looked into his eyes sincerely.
Shocked by his unassuming "upright" behavior, He Li's eyes flashed a trace of astonishment, and he frowned strangely.
"Wu'an Jun is determined to be in the world?"
"certainly!"
Hearing this, He Li's expression became even weirder.
"But you can play this set in a small area. If you want to spread it all over the world...I'm afraid...the resistance is not small..."
Hearing He Li's euphemistic words carefully, Zhao Yinshun smiled.
"It's not so small. Those wealthy families can't wait to eat my flesh and sleep my skin. Once it is promoted to the world, it will inevitably face the full counterattack of the entire landlord class!"
"The landlord class?"
Chewing on this weird word, He Li savoured it carefully, and a mysterious light lit up in his eyes.
"Since Your Majesty knows this, why..."
Aware of the change in the other party's title, the smile on Zhao Yinshun's face became brighter.
"It's just a group of worms that **** blood on the people. They only hinder the development of productivity, but I have the support of the most advanced productivity!"
"Productivity?"
heard another weird word, but He Li somehow understood the meaning.
"Whoever represents the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people will master the most advanced productive forces."
"And in the unformed Damin of the working class...they are the most advanced productive forces!"
Pointing at the people working hard in the wheat field, Zhao Yinshun murmured leisurely.
The bizarre idea exploded in He Li's heart like a thunderbolt, and a bright halo opened in the originally ordinary old pupil, staring at the young man for a moment.
"So the old man is interested in building a great cause with me?"
Looking at the white palm that the boy stretched out in front of him, He Li pondered for a few seconds, then smiled and clenched his hands with him.
"I have a solid wish, but I dare not ask for it."
………………
"[Farmer] has been in decline for thousands of years, but I didn't expect that there are still mythical characters!"
In the palace of Linbo City, Zhao Yinshun and Oakley Yani sat opposite each other, sipping a cup of fine wine.
"[Farmer] Although there is no influx in the upper layer, there is a huge living soil at the bottom. Under the huge base, there are always a few lucky ones who stand out."
The tip of the tongue stirred the 【Jade Spirit Wine】, Oakley Yani sipped the mellow wine aroma, pursed her lips and chuckled.
"Then say that, there are probably a lot of capable people living in the folk!"
Eyes brightened, Zhao Yinshun rubbed his chin with great interest.
"What do you want to do?"
"Of course it's collecting, no, recruiting talents from all over the world to create a great cause!"
"Forget it, many of them have conflicting ideas, and only one of them can come out alive if they are locked in the house. If they insist on getting them together, the great cause has not yet been accomplished, and the ancestors' brains have gone out of their way. !"
shook his head helplessly, Oakley Yani took a sip of jade spirit wine: "Have you forgotten the original impulse I told you before?"
Zhao Yinshun was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
"The shackles of heresy?"
"There is also the bandha of the same position. After so many years of development, your various schools and schools have been integrating and transforming, and you have me in each other, and I have you in each other, so..."
Glancing at the thoughtful boy, Oakley Yani smiled gloatingly.
"Easier to fight!"
"Tsk"
spit, Zhao Yinshun frowned in annoyance.
"Isn't there any solution?"
"Why do you think you can solve things that even the [Emperor] can't do?"
“…”
In silence, Zhao Yinshun looked at his attribute panel.
【High-Dimensional Vision】、【Infinite Concentration】、【Multiple Self】、【Destroyed Destiny】,【Book of Truth】,【Heart is Better than Matter】
It seems that he really does not have the talent to reconcile contradictions...
But inexplicably, Zhao Yinshun always felt that he had a solution.
The contradictions on the surface may be unified at a deeper level, otherwise it would be impossible for the various schools of thought to absorb ideas from each other and develop to the point where they are today.
's thoughts moved, and the boy in white felt faintly grasping something, but after careful consideration, it seemed that he had gained nothing.
"Don't think about it, being able to get the effect of a [Farmer] mythical character means that you have entered the topmost line of sight of Damin... No, you entered their line of sight very early, but it was only because of personal force, And now it’s because of the idea of governance.”
"So, now you should not only be careful about the contradictions between [Martial Dao] and [Army Dao], but also be careful about the contradictions of [Road] in governing the country!"
Pinch the boy's cheeks, Oakley Yani warned earnestly.
"Contradiction in running a country?"
Liberation of the peasant class will hurt the landlord class the most, so... Confucianism?
rubbed his chin, Zhao Yinshun nodded as if he was enlightened.
………………
Time flies, the joy of the harvest just passed, and a heavy snow suddenly made the entire Luzhou enter a cold winter overnight.
The howling north wind mercilessly swept the earth, and the heavy snow of goose feathers dyed thousands of miles of rivers and mountains pure white.
The extremely cold temperature seems to penetrate the bone marrow, but what is even more chilling is the bad news that comes one after another after the winter.
In mid-November, the earthquake in Zhili destroyed millions of houses and killed hundreds of thousands!
But what is even more terrifying is the secondary disaster. Countless people are homeless in the cold winter, and countless people died of starvation and freezing. Many villages and towns are almost extinct, and the once prosperous and pristine land has quickly become desolate and dead.
In the warm south, hurricanes and showers, which should not have occurred in winter, frequently attacked, flooding the sea, rivers bursting, and drowning tens of millions of people and animals.
"The emperor is dying. He can no longer suppress the three meridians of heaven, earth and water."
In the warm study, Oakley Yani looked at the white snow outside the window and sighed with emotion.
Hearing the words, the stroke of Zhao Yinshun's hand paused slightly.
"Doesn't that mean the climate will be more and more abnormal in the next few years?"
"Yes, so cherish this year, it's going to be the best year for decades to come."
“…”
I seem to have heard this somewhere!
Blinking his eyes, Zhao Yinshun looked out of the city, remembering that Linbo Lake, which rarely freezes, was frozen by a thin layer of ice, and couldn't help shaking his head.
It is hard to imagine how outrageous the future will be.
"However, man-made disasters are more serious than natural disasters. Many of your officials are still making a lot of money in the country, madly embezzling the disaster relief funds and materials that were finally squeezed out, and selling the materials that should be free to the affected people at high prices, draining their pockets. Every penny in..."
"For 'sustainable development', they even condone the spread of natural disasters..."
"Tsk tsk, when disasters become a tool of exploitation and plunder, it's hard to stop this business!"
Lightly tapped her pink lips, Oakley Yani sighed heavily.
"What's more serious is that the emperor has exposed his limits, and not only natural disasters, but also man-made natural disasters will follow."
"The carnival of demons and monsters... is about to begin!"
As if smelling the strong **** smell behind this sentence, Zhao Yinshun raised his eyebrows solemnly, thinking carefully about what he could do.
But after thinking about it, he found that there were very few things he could do. Apart from defending his own three-thirds of an acre of land, he couldn't seem to help.
The main reason is that this damned world is too big, and a mere Luzhou is estimated to be bigger than the Celestial Dynasty in the previous life. The disasters in several states do not have the ability to mobilize at the national level, and it is simply a drop in the bucket.
"Alas... Zhou Rou."
Accompanied by a soft call, a beautiful girl pushed in the door, as if she could not see Oakley Yani, and walked straight to Zhao Yinshun.
"Your Majesty, are you calling me?"
"Well, how's the harvest this year? How much grain is in the granary?"
"Many, although you have adjusted the agricultural tax to two and one tax, but because the official status is not exempt from taxation, you have received more grain than in previous years. The newly stocked grain in the major granaries is almost 1.35 million tons. In addition to the collected grains from the landlord's family, it is initially estimated that it will be enough for the whole county to consume for three years!"
"That's not even counting the tens of millions of tons of grain stored in farmers' homes in the county this year!"
Having said that, even Zhou Rou couldn't help shaking her head.
The food production in the original field was enough to feed more people, so why was there a famine every few years in the past?
Thank you [Celestrail] and other book friends for their rewards.
For well-known reasons, the most recent chapters seem to require manual review. I posted them in the early morning, and may not pass the next day, so please don't wait for the update, go to bed early_(:зゝ∠)_
