Chapter 1419 Popularity
In the blink of an eye, it took another few days, and the communication and cooperation between Shang Guo and Quang Binh circle officially started, and everyone started to get busy.
First of all, let’s talk about the Quang Binh area, collect almost all the books, exercises, etc., and give them to Shang Guo; sell the "Dongping Prefecture" with a radius of 200 kilometers to Shang Guo, and allow Shang Guo to do business in Quang Binh. Allow merchant countries to open banks, etc.
Among the gifted exercises, there are several sets of methods that can freely pass through the enchantment, including the method of building a permanent portal.
On the other hand, Shangguo presented a complete set of "Wan Zang Quanshu" in Quang Binh, ten large geothermal power stations in Quang Binh, and was responsible for the main transmission lines, basic street lamp installation, and training of relevant technical personnel; and Incidentally, the thermal power station also includes water heating and other facilities.
Ten sets of large-scale geothermal power plants are enough to meet the needs of ten large cities, and the life of the geothermal power plants is so long that it can even be regarded as half a nuclear power plant.
The large city in Quang Binh has a permanent population of almost 500,000. In the relatively poor world of Quang Binh, cities with a population of 500,000 are very rare, and there are only a few major large cities; the rest barely reach the population level of 500,000.
These are all public, and the King of Quang Binh also used this to promote his benevolence to the entire Quang Binh community—this king has found a way to make the Quang Binh community warm and bright. Start construction, and at the latest one day (one year), everyone will be able to see warmth and light coming.
But some undisclosed treaties are more. For example, when the nationals and citizens of the Shang country need to be tried for committing crimes in Quang Binh, they must be followed by the judges of the Shang country; similarly, people in the Quang Binh world can also enjoy this kind of treatment in the Shang country—this treaty seems fair, However, the strength of the country and the degree of perfection of the law are destined to suffer losses for the Quang Binh community.
For example, in terms of tariffs and taxes, the two parties agreed on a unified 10% standard; but there are also pitfalls. There is no industry in Quang Binh, only handicrafts, which is almost a place of raw material production and commodity dumping. The correct approach is to collect heavy taxes from the Quang Binh community and support the development of its own industry, but the Quang Binh King did not realize this problem.
In addition, Shang Guo said that for the faster development of Quang Binh, you should adopt Shang Guo's mature commercial and economic strategies. Although King Quang Binh hesitated for a long time, he still agreed.
In fact, at the end of the negotiation, all the think tanks on King Quang Binh's side were still a little dazed, and many conditions were signed in a daze. Of course, for the sake of long-term consideration, the Shang Kingdom was not too harsh, but the gap between civilization levels and the natural inequality formed were unavoidable.
On this day, Shang Guo finally arranged the teleportation array, and connected directly from the exit of Huangquan passage to the enchantment of Guangping boundary; at this time, a semicircular portal about three feet in size had been opened on the enchantment; Just before the enchantment, you can enter the enchantment after a few steps and enter the boundary of Dongping Prefecture.
Dongping Prefecture is located in the east of Quang Binh. It is a more suitable land for living, with a radius of 200 kilometers. However, there are many mountains around it, which belong to "wasteland". The so-called wasteland means that it can be freely developed...as long as you have the ability. With the addition of the surrounding wastelands, the Quang Binh border has increased by more than 100 kilometers.
In the city of Dongping Prefecture, there were many ground fires. At the peak, the population in the city was about 150,000. The outside of the city cannot be counted, but they are all relatively poor. In fact, after the news spread that Dongping Prefecture was sold to Shang Guo, some capable people here had already moved away. The rest are ordinary people with little ability.
When he was at the rear, at the former site of the Guzhu Kingdom's imperial palace, Li Xian sighed and watched Sun Hao leave. "I don't have a secretary by my side... I can't even find someone to flatter me!"
It is time to establish a base and a city under the Nine Lands, but who will be the lord of this city? Li Xian thought for a long time, and the most suitable person was by his side - Sun Haocai!
Therefore, Sun Haocai became the sixth secretary who walked out from Li Xian's side, and became the first city lord under the Nine Lands in one fell swoop. However, considering that Sun Haocai may be lacking in ability, Sun Haocai was assigned a few assistants.
In addition, the legion originally stationed in the south of the Shang Kingdom was now mobilized by Li Xian because of the unification of the Shang Kingdom. Su Zhongge and Ji Shaoguang led a hundred thousand elite troops to move into the new city to ensure the safety of the new city.
Under the protection of masters, Sun Haocai did not go straight to the main city, but walked along the road step by step, checking the environment, landforms, resources, agriculture, people's livelihood, etc. here.
While walking, Sun Haocai thought: I have learned a lot and understood a lot after being with Li Xian for these years. Shang Guo is by no means a charity ambassador.
To live and grow, people need to eat; so what does a country need to grow? Needless to say, it also needs to be "eat". But what the country eats is not ordinary. People's hearts, knowledge, territory, etc. are all the "food" of the country.
However, compared with the most drastic military means, Shang Guo adopted the strategy of catching big fish with a long line and boiling frogs in warm water, and this must pay attention to image issues. Therefore, on the first day of his tenure, Sun Hao prepared to go step by step to see if there was a chance to buy people's hearts.
Besides, in Sun Haocai's mind, that old city was destined to be demolished, so he couldn't see it.
After walking all the way, all he saw was desolation; but after entering some places that were obviously fields, Sun Haocai frowned a little. He saw that the fruit trees and crops in the fields had been destroyed! This is obviously man-made destruction, because monsters and other things can't destroy it so thoroughly.
Some people in thin and torn clothes are silently picking up broken fruits and grains in the field. The cold wind howled in the Quang Binh area, and these people were shivering from the cold, but they were still picking up food.
Seeing the army on Sun Haocai's side, the common people screamed, gathered to the side, avoided, and looked at these gorgeous and strange outsiders in Shang Guo with horror and hatred.
A woman carrying a baby walked slowly, and accidentally fell down. The baby cried loudly. The woman screamed that she was holding the baby, and looked at Sun Haocai and others who were approaching quickly in a daze.
Sun Haocai's eyes flickered, but he immediately made a decision. Under the horrified eyes of the villagers, Sun Haocai squatted in front of the woman, took off his cloak and put it on the woman, and then stretched out his hand to look at the baby. The baby was thrown badly. With a flicker in Sun Haocai's hand, a drop of fairy spirit appeared, which gently dripped on the baby's chest.
A burst of colorful light flashed, and the baby stopped crying, but giggled, and even reached out to hug Sun Haocai's arm, very affectionately.
Sun Hao just laughed. After a period of research, the Shang Kingdom has determined that spiritual energy and fairy energy are good things for any life, and the innate essence of the earth attribute here is also good for the people of the Shang Kingdom. It can strengthen the body , Soul.
Sun Haocai helped the dazed woman up, and said softly, "Okay, I'm fine."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the suppressed people behind him and asked loudly, "Who is the village chief?"
An old man came out tremblingly: "My lord, I am the old man. My name is Xin Ming."
Sun Haocai pointed around and asked, "What's going on?"
Xin Ming immediately became agitated, and his tone was angry and high-pitched: "When Dong Ping Hou left, he not only took away all the wealth, but also took away all the food, regardless of whether it was ripe or not! He even imposed a compulsory tax once."
Although Sun Haocai had already speculated in his heart, he was still furious when he heard such words. But then, Sun Haocai suddenly felt a bit of secret joy that shouldn't be—this is a good opportunity to buy people's hearts!
Sun Hao thought for a while, and then asked: "Xin Ming, how many people are there in your village?"
Xin Ming hesitated for a moment, and said nervously, "There are 137 people in total, and some of them have gone hunting."
"How many villages are there around, and approximately how many people are there?"
"There are a total of 17 villages. Generally, a village has 100 to 200 people. The total number of people does not exceed 2,500."
Sun Haocai nodded slightly, and said to the followers around him: "Notify the rear, all machinery and equipment should not be transported for the time being, and a batch of clothes, food, etc. will be transported first, and then some doctors will be organized. There are a large number of disaster victims here who need relief. "
After finishing speaking, Sun Hao turned to Xin Ming and said, "Xin Ming, you don't need to pick these up. It's so cold, you go back to the village first; the first batch of supplies will be delivered within an hour."
Xin Ming looked at Sun Haocai, feeling a little dizzy in his heart, but still hesitantly and apprehensively organized everyone to prepare to return to the village. There has always been a worry in my heart, will there be massacres after returning to the village, right?
When the villagers had all reached the ground, Sun Hao suddenly gave an order, and the soldiers suddenly separated and stood on both sides of the villagers. The villagers were terrified for a while, but then they found that these soldiers were standing densely, and the cold wind was blocked outside.
The team moved forward silently, and suddenly a villager burst into tears.
Ten minutes later, a dilapidated village appeared in front of Sun Haocai. Many cottages were old and even collapsed; Pieces of yellow mud were betting on the cracks in the wall, barely resisting the cold wind.
A few poultry and livestock like chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs were lying on their stomachs dejectedly, and a few chickens rummaged through the soil from time to time to find food, but there was only yellow sand.
A few pieces of rags were hanging on the dead branches in front of some houses, but upon closer inspection, they were actually some clothes, probably still dripping after washing.
Sun Haocai looked at the scene in front of him and was really stunned. As a new generation who grew up in the country of Shang, Sun Haocai had never seen such a poverty-stricken scene.
After watching for a while, Sun Hao felt his nose a little sore, and said to his attendants: "Those who know earth magic, go and build some houses. According to the standard of 3,000 people, all the people from the surrounding villages will be migrated here later. .”
At this time, Xin Ming, the village head who had been by Sun Haocai's side, suddenly knelt down: "This old man represents all the people, thank you sir."
Sun Haocai nodded lightly and accepted the kneeling. If the old man gets up now, I'm afraid it will make him uneasy. Xin Ming kowtowed three times before standing up carefully.
Next to it, the woman with the baby on her back approached cautiously, holding a neatly folded cloak in both hands, but she seemed afraid to approach.
Sun Haocai looked around to see that some people had already used spells to build simple houses, and then turned to look at the woman. He reached out to take the cloak and asked the ruddy and joyful baby: "How old is the little guy?"
"Ten months."
How young is ten months? Sun Haocai stretched out his hands: "Can I have a look?"
The woman hesitated for a while, and carefully sent the baby over. Sun Haocai took it, but wrapped the baby in a cloak. Seeming to feel the warmth, the baby giggled.
Sun Haocai teased for a while, then suddenly asked: "What's your last name? Do you have a name?"
The village woman was rubbing her old clothes with both hands, a little nervous and uneasy. Hearing the question, he even trembled, and quickly replied: "My surname is Xin. I don't have a name."
"Meeting is fate, let me give you a name. Let's call it Xinhai Mountain. It is as wide and deep as the sea, vast and boundless, as calm and atmospheric as a mountain, and immortal."
"Ah... Housewives, thank you sir..."
Xin Ming, the old village head next to him, also hurriedly expressed his thanks. Sun Haocai still nodded lightly. After following Li Xian for a long time, Sun Haocai understood very well that he should be aggressive and superb now. If he was too polite, the other party might be even more disturbed. In the hearts of these people who have suffered so much, officials should be on top.
Hugging and teasing Xin Haishan, who had just been named, suddenly the phone rang, and Sun Haocai immediately returned the baby to the woman and started talking. But the supplies have arrived.
After a while, a row of aircraft flew over, each aircraft piled up with a mountain of clothes and food. Of course, Shangguo has storage devices, but there are no actual items that look shocking.
Just like bills, numbers are never as eye-catching as wads of cash. Although disaster relief is needed right now, we can't delay putting on a show, right?
"Supplies are really here..." The old village head Xin Ming looked at the mountains of supplies, his eyes became moist again.
When he first heard that Dongping Prefecture had been sold, the old village head was extremely worried; after Dongping Hou left, he went so far as to wreak havoc. At that time, the old village head was going to despair. After seeing Sun Haocai waiting for the army, the old village chief only had fear and despair in his heart.
But what happened next was a complete reversal.
Sun Haocai turned his head to look at the old village chief, his voice was majestic: "Xin Ming, let everyone line up to receive supplies, and everyone who is as tall as my chest will receive a bag of food and a bag of clothes.
The children have some hot food first, and there will be special items for children and a doctor will come over later. "
The villagers hurriedly lined up, and all the items were distributed quickly at several material collection locations. The villagers were ecstatic, but a little overwhelmed.
The old village chief came to Sun Haocai with some anxiety, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth.
Sun Haocai smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, looked at the dark sky in the distance, and said slowly: "Xin Ming, this place has been purchased by the Shang Kingdom, that is to say, Dongping Prefecture is already an inalienable territory of the Shang Kingdom. You start now, Citizens belonging to the merchant country.
The population of Shang State is now larger than that of Quang Binh, but no one in Shang State has starved to death. I know you may have doubts, but you will understand later.
Now, you send people to inform the people in the surrounding villages to come here to collect supplies. We will also set up a temporary medical location here to solve the pain problems for everyone.
But there is one thing to warn you, these supplies belong to everyone, if anyone dares to stretch out their hands indiscriminately, they will be killed without mercy! "
At this moment, Sun Hao was full of murderous intent. In troubled times, heavy law is used. At this time, whoever dares to stretch out his hand randomly, Sun Hao really doesn't mind killing chickens and scaring monkeys.
After finishing speaking, Sun Haocai suddenly opened a bag of rice and sprinkled it on the nearby poultry and livestock, full of joy for a while.
About half an hour later, the medical team rushed over. These people were wearing white coats, and there were still mountains of plastic boxes on their aircraft. These boxes contain medicines and food for minors.
The medical team was ready quickly, checking the infants and young children first, then children and teenagers, and finally the adults. For infants and children, in addition to food such as milk powder, there are toys and so on.
So far, all the people in this village have finally accepted a reality - they are not dreaming!
After looking at everything in order, Sun Hao left a group of soldiers behind and led the group to leave.
"Congratulations, my lord." Xin Ming shouted, leading the people of the village to kneel at the entrance of the village. But this time, Sun Haocai stopped suddenly, reached out to take the whip from the entourage beside him, and slapped the old village head with it.
It slapped on the face of the old village chief, revealing a bloodstain. The old village head was immediately stunned.
"Stand up!" Sun Haocai's tone became cold.
The old village chief was still in a daze.
Sun Haocai hit the whip again, this time it was even more ruthless, and his flesh was bloody, "I told you to stand up, didn't you hear me clearly!"
The old village chief stood up tremblingly this time, and looked at Sun Haocai with some horror, not knowing what to do.
"Stand up straight!" Sun Haocai walked up to the old village head, and lit with a whip: "Raise your head, chest, and chin. Yes, that's it, this is what a person looks like!"
Remember, after I come, you are citizens of Shang Kingdom. As a businessman, even if I die, I have to die standing up. have you understood? "
"Listen...listen...understand..."
"I didn't hear you clearly!"
"Understood." The old village chief's heart trembled a little.
"I haven't heard clearly. You are a big man talking with this little voice!"
The old village head suddenly yelled: "Understood!"
"It's not too bad. Go ahead and inform people from other villages to come and get supplies. You will be temporarily appointed as the person in charge here. From now on, if there is a person here who is starved to death, I will whip you; if If ten people starve to death, I'll cut off your heads!"
Sun Haocai looked around again, and those kneeling villagers suddenly got up in a hurry, standing up straight one by one.
"It's more or less the same." Sun Hao just turned and left, and continued to move forward.
Behind, the old village head touched his cheek, but tears of gratitude flowed from his eyes.
"Father..." A middle-aged man next to him wanted to wipe his wound. But the old village head stopped him: "The two whips, the old man is willing to suffer. Just keep it like this."
After a short pause, the old village head suddenly shouted: "Everyone who is strong, carry food and clothes on his back and go to the surrounding villages. Go quickly. If there are any who starve to death, be careful, I will expose your skin!"
