Chapter 129: Everyone only Complains that They Earn Too Little

Yes.

Execute the death row prisoners by firing cannons.

This is a "great" feature of the Takagi Kingdom.

Compared to the shootings commonly used by the Krurod Empire, using cannons to bombard is definitely a "waste".

But what can be done about this?

The Takagi Kingdom was originally a country built on violence.

In the past, the founders of the Takagi Kingdom exiled the original ruling forces by usurping the throne. Now the royal family of the Takagi Kingdom is naturally very worried that the people of their country will follow suit and usurp the throne for themselves. Therefore, the execution of death row prisoners by cannons (in the Takagi Kingdom, anyone who disobeys the king's wishes is a death row prisoner) is naturally the best "rule method" now.

But compared to this, Mike himself looked at the refined rice being transported away by truck after truck, and he quickly thought of another thing.

Who of those black-haired dog-headed people can eat these grains?

Probably not.

After all, the Akitsu Empire regards rice as the staple food that other foreign races are forbidden to eat. It is the staple food that every citizen must eat throughout their lives and cannot have other choices. Therefore, as an intelligent race that also grows rice, even if the black-haired dog-headed people grow rice, the result will inevitably become a tribute to the Akitsu Empire. Then, not surprisingly, these rice will inevitably be repeatedly polished and processed into the refined rice that the pig-headed people of the Akitsu Empire prefer.

But in this way, no one knows whether these pig-headed people have polished all the nutrients that should be contained in the rice, forming a waste of food in fact.

In order to pursue the so-called upper life and the so-called excellent taste, the pig-headed people have no idea how much waste they have caused by polishing rice. According to Mike's own observation and estimation, each grain of rice will be polished by the pig-headed people to only 40% of its original volume.

It is simply unforgivable!

Even if the taste is not good, the polished parts can still be used as food!

Especially now that he is looking at the polished rice in the warehouse, which is shiny and white, he is getting more and more annoyed.

Such a waste of food is a crime!

It is an unforgivable crime for all races in the world that eat rice and dare not say that they can eat enough!

Moreover, it is precisely because of the grinding of the pig-headed people that Mike sighs when he looks at the polished rice in front of him.

The nutritional value of polished rice is not as good as that of rice that has only the outer layer of rice bran polished off. As a result, the consumers who eat polished rice have to eat more, resulting in more food consumption.

This is why ordinary pig-headed soldiers need to eat 230 grams of polished rice for lunch.

If it is replaced by the Japanese wheat people, the consumption of this staple food can be reduced by 30 grams. And the Japanese wheat people eat ordinary rice, or flatbreads and buns.

They are not as hypocritical as the pig-headed people. They will rebel directly if they don’t have polished rice to eat.

Yes.

Rebellion.

The pig-headed people have such a "good temper" that they will die if they don't eat refined rice - it's not me who will die, only you who will die.

Many pig-headed people who voluntarily join the army join the army just to eat refined rice every day.

If anyone dares to ban refined rice, these soldiers will not dare to come openly, but they will definitely shoot someone who gives the order in secret.

And according to the summary in history, at least more than a hundred pig-headed officers or other officials were shot and killed by cold guns.

Everyone knows that being a soldier is not a matter of enjoyment, and it is very normal to suffer and even die.

Therefore, the biggest unified belief of the people of the Akitsu Empire - eating refined rice is the biggest source of fighting power for every soldier who is fortunate enough to serve in the army.

If anyone dares to deprive such a source of power, the soldiers' guns are the best answer.

Thinking of this, Mike is helpless.

It was this refined rice that made the Pig-headed Man rise to become a country with advanced weapons and equipment. It was also because of this refined rice that no one knew how many Japanese compatriots were starved to death by the Pig-headed Man.

In short, now that one-third of the northern province has been taken back, it means a good start.

Especially the Pig-headed Man in the eastern province seems to have no idea what special situation has happened, and has not launched an attack on the Krurod Empire for a long time.

Could it be...

Don't think too much first.

There is no point in thinking too much now.

After all, no news is quite good news.

But compared to his current work of handling "extra" supplies for the army, Li Sen in the Nigan Empire received news three days later that his father-in-law Enzo had escaped from prison.

That's right, the black-haired dog-headed man escaped from prison.

Jeanna: "So I don't dare to go back to see my dad now."

Jenna: "Hehe."

Jenna: "Don't laugh, you know my dad's temper..."

Jenna: "It's just four black-haired people who ran away... It's okay. They definitely can't escape to areas outside the border. Our country's border guards are not blind or stupid. Even if these black-haired people choose to use their natural night vision ability to lurk at night, it is impossible. The border guards' detection vehicles and detection towers can make them understand what it means to have nowhere to escape. What's more, the border guards' aerial reconnaissance forces are not just for show."

Jenna: "What about the sea?"

Jenna: "You can swim, but you won't go out for a swim at this time, right? There is a beach and a port in front of the hotel opened by your parents, and the water flow is relatively gentle. There are all kinds of reefs and turbulence in other places. If you are not careful, you will really go down to feed the fish."

Listening to the conversation between Jeanna and Jenna, Lison hugged them to bed and prepared for the night life. Naturally, he was a little worried that his father-in-law would find him to vent.

But thinking carefully, this should be unlikely.

Father-in-law never looks at me well because of Jeanna's affairs. At other times or under other circumstances, he should not say anything unpleasant to me.

If you really want to cause trouble... I guess there is only one person, or a group of guys, who really get into trouble. If those black-haired dog-headed people don't have good luck, they will never be able to escape from the pursuit of Enzo's father-in-law.

Especially Jeanna's brother, who is a master of water magic. It is difficult, very difficult for those black-haired dog-headed people to escape from her hands.

Moreover, Enzo's father-in-law is not a traditionalist who only uses cold weapons. He still has a lot of gunpowder weapons. Especially modern firearms, even when there are all kinds of explosives.

As for Enzo's father-in-law, he is an expert in firearms and a master of many modern combat tactics.

Even the wave energy rifle and wave energy pistol of the pig-headed man, he also knows how to use them.

It's just that he has never liked to use firearms, and prefers to use more traditional spells to solve problems.

Although doing so will easily leave traces of spell power, thereby exposing one's identity, and will also allow some professional veterans to suppress and hunt to a certain extent.

In any case, although what Enzo's father-in-law did was not illegal (if it was really illegal, Lisen and others would not escape the end of being tried), it is always a gray business, a special business that walks the line between legal and illegal.

Reselling prisoners of war is not a serious business in itself.

However, there is no other way. Compared with the traditional arms sales, reselling black-haired dog-headed prisoners is definitely a very profitable business. After all, everyone has to make a living. Without money...

To put it bluntly, who would dislike making more money?

Everyone would only complain that they make too little.

So...

"Enzo."

"Search this dense forest for me! No firearms or explosive spells are allowed. I don't want to invite the nearby border guards."

"But...if the fugitives meet the border guards..."

"No. These four black-haired dog-headed people who escaped will definitely...uh! Be there!"

Accompanied by Enzo's order, the four black-haired dog-headed people who were originally thought to be hiding in the bushes near the hotel were naturally recaptured by Enzo's men...
