Chapter 349: Potential
A rumor spread in Haizhou at an unprecedented speed, and of course it also spread in the land of Dali Wangting and surrounding countries. This rumor is that Haizhou actually killed prisoners! And it was a massacre of 140,000 yuan, which was simply inhumane! It was a tragic way! It was worse than beasts!
The rumor spread rapidly, as if it had spread completely within a few days. In less than five days, even the most remote mountain village knew about such rumors; it was obvious that the "mindful person" was helping Xiao Hao.
"Is this really okay?" Lan Hai looked a little frowning. Xiao Hao's various decisions and some changes in Haizhou are still a little unsure of them. All the changes and so on are really too fast; of course, more importantly, these changes are really weird.
For example, Xiao Hao said that massacre of 140,000 people is a warning, which scares ordinary civilians? Why do ordinary people say that ordinary people are far from as strong as they imagined? What do they mean by this?
Looking at the ancestor in front, Xiao Hao smiled slightly, stood in the yard and looked up at the sky, and the clouds rolled and unfolded in the sky; now Xiao Hao's cultivation has long surpassed the Blue Ocean, but the current human environment attaches more importance to the master's education, etc. Although Xiao Hao can become a disciple, his relationship with Blue Ocean will be maintained forever. "Master, let me tell you a story.
There was once such an ordinary town. A wolf demon suddenly came to the town. The wolf demon often hunted people without any regularity, and no one in the town was the opponent of the wolf demon.
One day, a brave hunter entered the mountain to fight to the death with the wolf demon, but was defeated. At this moment, the hunter had an idea and discussed with the wolf demon: How about we do this, I will give you one person every month. Don’t enter the town again; so that you don’t have to be hurt, and you can enjoy the delicious food once a month.
The wolf demon agreed to such a suggestion. Because the wolf demon will indeed be injured every time he hunts down the residents in the town. After all, some of the human weapons are relatively aggressive.
This hunter discussed and acted like this. He felt that there was no need to worry about doing this in the town every day, and he just wanted to "sacrifice" one person every month, and he was just treating him as a sacrifice to the mountain god.
However, at the beginning, the wolf demon was still honest, but gradually became dissatisfied; the "food" required by the hunter could no longer be the elderly, but the middle-aged man.
The hunter wants to fight for it, but it is not the opponent of the wolf demon; the hunter wants to discuss with the townsmen, let’s kill the wolf demon, but the townsmen think that the hunter is an executioner, and one person seems to be able to accept it every month, anyway, according to the current "rules", our family should not suffer. In fact, at this time, the town has become accustomed to the new "ruling".
But the wolf demon became more and more greedy, and began to demand young and strong, and began to demand infants and young children; gradually changed from once a month to twice a month, three times...
People are sad, but find that... they can still survive, so let's continue to endure.
But gradually, the number of wolf demons has increased. What the hunter wants to do for the townsmen has been rejected by the townsmen. The hunter is very sad. He feels that he has been dedicating to the town. But in people's eyes, the hunter has become the spokesperson of the wolf demon and has become a hateful sinner who should be cut into pieces. Therefore, people do not believe in hunters! But ordinary people cannot organize decent battles and do not know how to fight with the wolf demons. Things are dragged down day by day.
Finally, there were more and more wolf demons. They were enjoying the food delivered by humans every day, but the people in the town were already numb! Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people in the town. When people reacted, it was too late to unite and fight desperately! And those who knew wolf demons the best were really trying to make hunters for the townspeople, but they were not believed by people.
At this moment, an army suddenly came and killed the wolf demon, but began to rule the town. The town fell into a state of enslavedness, and the townsmen lived in extremely difficult life. But in this case, people reported the hunters, and the army also killed the hunters to win the hearts of the people. After the townsmen cheered for a while, they were willing to accept the rule; but gradually the townsmen found that the soldiers were even more cruel, and they killed people at every turn, took them when they saw them, and robbed them when they saw beautiful women. Not long after, the town was completely destroyed.
Master, how do you tell this story?"
After listening to it, Lan Hai felt silent in his heart. It was the first time he heard someone explaining reasoning in this way; but what really shocked and silenced Lan Hai was not Xiao Hao's way of telling the story, nor the surface of the story, but the truth contained in the story.
First, good intentions may not necessarily do good deeds.
Second, people are often short-sighted and often only see the surface.
Third, there is a meaning of boiling a frog in warm water. OK, Xiao Hao also told Lan Hai this truth.
Fourth, if you completely count on outsiders, then there will never be a future! It can only be chronic suicide.
Fifth, people are often numb, and even with their own blood, they may not awaken them to recognize reality.
Sixth, at the beginning, people were able to kill the wolf demon, but they chose to be numb.
Of course, there are more meanings, but just a simple analysis, Lan Hai roughly understands what Xiao Hao is going to say! It is to ask someone to force the people to rebel!
Think about it, when those places that are not covered by Haizhou and when those nobles conquer their husbands again, those ordinary civilians will resist. Anyway, resisting now is death, and if you go to the battlefield in the future, you will still die! Since that is the case, it is better to rebel.
Another thing is that Xiao Hao wants to express one meaning: Sometimes when you really liberate some ordinary people, they really may not appreciate it! The reinforcements that appear at the "correct" time will save them before people suffer, but they will appreciate it; only when they are desperate, you suddenly stand up, even if you are a demon, they will regard you as the savior.
This little story vividly displays this truth.
After a long time, Lan Hai spoke: "I understand."
Yes, Lan Hai understands that you cannot do things by "correct" means, but also by considering human nature. Sometimes wrong means can even achieve many goals that cannot be achieved by correct means at least in the eyes of ordinary people. Although some useless means, if you really use the right means, others may not appreciate it!
Things in the world are like chess game new! Lan Hai actually has such an insight!
Time passed day by day, and rumors about Haizhou became more and more intense. The fake king Shengqing was overjoyed and decided to take this opportunity to recruit troops again to conquer Haizhou. But the reality was as Xiao Hao expected. Under the threat of the 140,000 bloody figures in Haizhou, the fake king Shengqing's conscription was difficult this time! He would definitely die if he went to the battlefield, and he would still have a way out if he didn't go to the battlefield! Under such circumstances, many soldiers of the fake king even defected!
During the period of rest and recuperation in Haizhou, the pseudo-king was unable to organize a large army with the current opportunity. Every day, they faced various failure information. The recruitment of various nobles under their rule was even extremely civil reforms! Of course, the reason why they dared to have civil reforms was that Haizhou was the method of the method at the beginning. I don’t know how many seeds it sowed!
Sometimes people are also passionate, but they don’t know how to vent; while Haizhou is working hard on this. At this moment, most of the Zhongzhou and a small number of Lizhou controlled by the pseudo-Wang Shengqing cannot summon enough food and enough soldiers. You must know that Zhongzhou is definitely the richest place in Dali Wangting!
When the news reached Xiao Hao's hand, Xiao Hao just smiled slightly, and actually felt relieved. Fortunately, it was successful and no major changes were made; but Lan Hai sighed gently at the information, and suddenly changed a little. It was a change after an enlightenment. Then he saw the light surging on Lan Hai's body and actually broke through!
After a long time, Lan Hai opened his eyes. Then he ran back to his "office" without saying anything.
After seeing it, Xiao Hao smiled slightly and knew that Lan Hai had finally figured it out! A real prime minister cannot think about how to make people good all day long. He also thinks about how to stabilize society and make the foolish people happy! Sometimes, he cannot think completely in the way of smart people, but in the way of foolish people and tyrants to think!
This change of thought was also a baptism, which made Lan Hai suddenly realize it was nothing. But Xiao Hao didn't expect that when he saw Lan Hai three days later, Lan Hai rushed to the middle level ninth level in one breath. He jumped from the original third level to the ninth level in one breath. Perhaps this is the only way to achieve such a change in the practice of luck. As long as his wisdom is improved, there is no need to worry about being possessed by the evil.
"Congratulations to Master." Xiao Hao is really congratulating. Being able to make such great progress only shows that Lan Hai must have been "studded for the world" before, but Xiao Hao's words made Lan Hai truly realize his past mistakes. Now, once he suddenly realized, he brought about accumulating strength and rushed to the ninth level of the intermediate level. Taking into account that if there was not a relatively large difference between the intermediate level and the advanced level of the purple Qi, it would take some time to settle down. Maybe the Blue Hai could rush to the advanced level of the purple Qi, in one breath.
"Hey..." After the breakthrough, the Blue Ocean was not very happy. "Life is so difficult. Maybe ordinary people don't understand, but I still want to do my best. Of course, when possible, I will try my best to do my job; but if necessary, I will not hesitate either. Because, hesitation will cause greater harm instead!"
Xiao Hao nodded, and already understood that Lan Hai had figured it out. In fact, it was helpless to use a fictional story to say things. If you talk about those truths directly, even if it was Lan Hai, the first reaction would be to roll your eyes: What kind of bullshit logic are you! If it is more intense, maybe you will slap in the face and get out. Wukong, you are naughty again.
Shortly after the Blue Ocean advanced, all the information from the south and the West was transmitted back; Chen State in the south began to work but not work, and even through the intelligence system of Haizhou, Xiao Hao also knew something about it. Chen State was revising the letter of state, and it seemed that he was preparing to establish diplomatic relations with Haizhou.
The West is more intense. From the perspective of bystanders, the chess-school family took a step! I don’t know what he thought, but I didn’t expect: What will this make those who defect to the chesschool family think?
More importantly, because the actions of the Zajiao angered Sheng Zhan; this person who could sit firmly in a place like Lizhou was not a sheep, but a dormant tiger. At this moment, the tiger went down the mountain and its fangs were revealed! The two Zajiao controlled states bordering Lizhou were not at peace! Especially, although Zhang Yun and other elites did not kill, they provided Sheng Zhan with powerful mobility.
More importantly, Sheng Zhan is purely revenge and has no bullshit military purpose! This creates a phenomenon that Sheng Zhan will never pass if he feels that there is danger in a certain place. Even if there are many enemies' families there, and if he feels that a certain place is safe, even an ordinary village and town must step on it.
An army of ten thousand was raging behind enemy lines like a poisonous snake, never fighting against any team of more than one thousand troops or more than two thousand ordinary people; and even so, they were all sneak attacks, such as poison, setting up ambush, seducing the enemy, disguising, attacking halfway, etc. It was simply useless to do everything.
Maybe there are no such many means to rely solely on Sheng Zhan, but don’t forget that there are dozens of dog-headed military advisors coming from Haizhou next to them; maybe one or two dog-headed military advisors will do bad things, but dozens of dog-headed military advisors are enough to make the masters who shine with the sun and the moon! These dog-headed military advisors include a large number of good teachers Xiao Hao, as well as countless people who are marching around the world in life and death. At that time, Haizhou was a well-known (notorious) bandit nest, and there were too many "talents"!
"I feel everything is pretty good!" Xiao Hao laughed proudly.
Xiao Hao was really proud; a few days ago, Princess Dragon came forward and took Princess Dragon away. That time, Princess Dragon Ao Qingyin didn't say anything. Xiao Hao understood that it must be the top leaders of the human race who came forward, but he didn't know it. It was obvious that the powerful human race is already starting to drive out the power of the dragon race on the land of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the movements of the dragon race in the secret realm of Yingzhou gave the human race excuses! No. Maybe it was for this to be acquiesced to the dragon race's actions at the beginning! This was a premeditated plan that had been made long ago! For the premeditation of the senior leaders of the human race, Xiao Hao could only look up to those smart masters of Sun and Moon and Hui Gao had nothing to do, and he was thinking about the conspiracy every day.
There is also the trading center proposed by Xiao Hao in Haizhou, but it is still in construction and busy. The first thing that was attracted by this was not Qizhen Pavilion, but Ziyue Pavilion! Perhaps because he was close to Xiao Hao, Zhang He, a loyal master who was specifically responsible for the transaction between Ziyue Pavilion and Xiao Hao, was also influenced by Xiao Hao's ideas, so Zhang He actually decided to jointly build a business with Haizhou. Xiao Hao of the Ziyue Pavilion has now learned about its background through the Han Zongfa and Mo family. It is actually very complicated; the main body is a hundred craftsman, but the Mavericks and related organizations also participated, of course, nine-way players are indispensable. In fact, it is the largest "black market" within the human race!
But it doesn't matter. As long as it is not a miscellaneous player, Li Zongfa's remote control is good. This background made Xiao Hao decide to cooperate, and business will be a very important part of Xiao Hao's ruling atmosphere in the future. Business is about going out, otherwise there is a little bit in his own place. Of course, there is another thing in Haizhou, business matters. The government will not intervene too much. This point Xiao Hao inherited the excellent experience of another world very well. The Ministry of Commerce operates independently and operates almost completely different from other government departments. This decision also made Ziyue Pavilion very happy!
As for the construction of the trading center, Xiao Hao made the Ministry of Commerce completely trouble himself, and at most he gave a few guiding suggestions. Even the auctions in Haizhou, which were presented by Ziyue Pavilion, had unique styles and rules, and everything was undergoing new attempts and new reforms; this is today's Haizhou. Once the mind is opened and the horizon is broadened, businessmen will spontaneously promote the development of society; the government's responsibility is supervision, and not let the business be distorted.
It took another half a month in a hurry, and it had been more than a month since Xiao Hao personally conquered the fake king Shengqing. Considering that Haizhou had made more complete preparations after a month of preparation, Xiao Hao finally ordered the general attack on the fake king Shengqing; at the same time, let Han Sheng return and let Zhang Yun pay attention; especially Zhang Yun, as long as he could continue to "make trouble", he would be the best support for Haizhou's strategy.
This time, Xiao Hao did not personally fight, and asked Han Sheng and Zhang Zheng to lead the army to fight. This time, the army was 30,000, of which nearly 10,000 were elites, and the rest were elites among ordinary soldiers. Xiao Hao planned to destroy the pseudo-King Shengqing in one battle and hold Zhongzhou in his hand. However, Xiao Hao understood that he probably could only occupy the part of Zhongzhou. After all, there were many jackals around, and none of the state officials were easy to meet. I wonder if it was a so-called heroes in troubled times.
Before the soldiers went to war, Princess Qingyue actually came over and asked Xiao Hao to capture the fake king Shengqing alive and to make his uncle a good shot. Looking at Princess Qingyue's hatred eyes, Xiao Hao was a little cold, but it didn't matter. Of course, Young Master Xiao agreed and tried to capture him alive if possible.
But I think that with the health talisman provided by Xiao Hao, as long as it is not run away, the possibility of capturing alive is still very high. With the health talisman, you can attack at will, without being afraid of attacking the vital points, nor with being afraid of the pseudo-Wang Shengqing committing suicide.
After complicated rest and preparations, after half a month of slow marching, the soldiers from Haizhou came to the bank of Youlongjiang River and looked across from Youlongjiang River. On the other side were soldiers from Zhongzhou who were nervously defending.
Han Sheng and Zhang Zheng smiled coldly at the somewhat absent-minded guards on the other side; both of them were acquired masters, and with Xiao Hao's support, they were close to breaking through the innate realm. Considering that the rebirth of heaven and earth is likely to be unfolded in the near future, Xiao Hao decided to let his people enter the innate realm as early as possible; as for the waste of resources caused by this, there is nothing wrong with it. You can rob others of it after you become strong... Cough cough... Keep it confidential.
In short, because of their good cultivation, their facial features are sensitive. Although they are separated by the wide Young Dragon River, Han Sheng and Zhang Zheng can still see the fear of the soldiers opposite.
"Send the order, the enemy is not fully prepared yet, take advantage of the situation to attack." Han Sheng calmly issued the order.
"This... is there no ship?" Han Sheng and Zhang Zheng's personal soldiers were a little confused.
"Haha..." Zhang Zheng laughed proudly, "You pig brains, what era is this, and you still think about ships! Do you still remember that we cleaned the rivers here a month and a half ago? Today I will open your eyes to the local buns!"
Han Sheng next to him curled his lips, "Garden Bunzi? Are you talking about the past you?"
After the team was rectified, Han Sheng took out a volume of "Imperial Issue" from the sea, saying it was an imperial edict. In fact, Haizhou has not yet been fully established and Xiao Hao has not officially enthroned. Therefore, such an "Imperial Issue" should be said to be an "oral edict", and it is not as powerful as a real edict. But now Youlongjiang is already under the control of Haizhou, so it is relatively easier.
At that time, the imperial edict of the King of Dali King could make Xiao Hao's magical powers invalid for an hour, and the role of the imperial edict was still very powerful.
Unfolding the imperial edict, Han Sheng read it word by word: Push the road through mountains, build bridges through water! Imperial!
Now Xiao Hao is qualified to use the "chi" command within Haizhou, and the high-ranking taste is fully displayed.
Puchi... The imperial edict suddenly turned into ashes, but a precious red light flashed and covered the entire river surface ahead. The subsequent changes shocked everyone.
As the river water rolled, an arch bridge that looked like crystal carved slowly appeared from the river surface. It was first in the middle part, like a part of a crystal ring; then gradually, more river water gathered into a crystal ring, and gradually the crystal ring rose, the two ends continued to extend, and quickly connected to both sides of the river.
But the change did not stop. The crystal arch bridge slowly widened its sides and finally expanded to a width of one meter, enough to ride in parallel to sprint; both sides were carved railings, flowers, birds, insects, fish, dragons and phoenixes, an artistic flat completely carved with "crystals" spanned the Youlong River, and only some shallow red silk threads shuttled through it.
"Let's go!" Han Sheng walked up first; but after stepping on the crystal bridge, Han Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, which was stronger than he had imagined; just now, Han Sheng directly used the acquired peak true energy and stomped hard, but the entire crystal bridge did not change at all. It seemed that it was really carved with extremely hard crystals, and there was no water on the bridge deck, not slipping, nor cold. If you look closely, you will find that the bridge deck has a hazy and rough surface like frozen fog.
"Boom..." Cavalry, infantry, and even powerful crossbow beds walked onto the Crystal Bridge.
Opposite, the soldiers and generals of Zhongzhou were shocked, but then there were brave and visionary generals and commanders who wanted to block Haizhou's attack through the Crystal Bridge.
But something terrified happened. When a large number of Zhongzhou soldiers went up, Han Sheng slightly turned the general seal on his waist, and the situation changed instantly. Thousands of Zhongzhou soldiers suddenly fell. They were struggling to fall into the rolling Youlong River below, and soon disappeared after a few ups and downs.
Chapter completed!
