The carriage traveled north of Gangfei on the road with green wheat seedlings

Under the wheels, the solid main road of the empire made of rough stones, the width of the stone strips up to six meters has polished smooth white spots, the length of the southwest area that had left a day ago, like a long snake with no end in sight, stretching down the southern coastline, the road is long, and the sky is blue like a huge transparent mirror,

Through the curtain on the right side of the carriage, you can see the sea cliff beach on the first line of white waves, the waves crash on the cliff wall, and the window on the left is some sparse villages, the white pine and cypress on the side of the road, swaying left and right in the May wind, making a loud sound, a jet-black Gangfei falcon, like a lonely king's arrow into the white clouds above the sky,

If it weren't for the arrow sign marked as Moro that I saw an hour ago, I'm afraid not many people would know that this was once one of the most densely populated areas of the Gangfei Empire, and the main roads of the empire were cleaned up, so naturally you can't see the tragic scene of white corpses and bones in the meadow, but as long as you go deeper inside, the broken scene will come into view, the ruins of the ruined city, the black broken walls left after being burned down by the fire, and the village fields are not green wheat grass, but a large field of wild chrysanthemum as tall as a person, a wild plant with thorns on its roots and leaves, even animals are reluctant to approachIn the surrounding air, except for the chirping of cicadas in summer, there is an unacceptable chill of emptiness

"What's going on here? This area should be a very good grain producing area, and if it is developed with a little manpower, the landscape here will be greatly changed......" Tyrnalant withdrew his gaze from the car window with an ugly face, and couldn't help but ask the other side, after several years of being a political officer, he had erased the water chestnut, but he still felt very uncomfortable with the scene in front of him. The tone unconsciously revealed a bit of indignation that was difficult to hide

"It's due to a lack of manpower!"

The fat man was looking at a sent document, did not raise his head, but told the truth in a calm and terrifying voice, it was not the first time he had heard Tirnarant complain along the way, this man who was known for his coldness, after a few years of tempering, really devoted himself to the affairs of the daily miscellaneous affairs, and did it in an orderly manner, which made people have to be impressed, even Nilai in the north of Salander mentioned Tirnarant under the pseudonym Tirnrant. This is also the reason why the fat man finally decided to choose Tirnarant as the political administrator of Lisbonto

As the base camp of the empire's maritime trade, Lisbento has always been the object of close attention by all forces.

One of the two most prosperous commercial circles of the empire was the southwest region, the core of the empire's inland commerce. It is known as the die-hard loyalist of the emperor's henchmen, the one-eyed Salon is personally in charge, the military and the government are integrated, and Li Yuehua's intelligence department is the gatekeeper. It can be described as an iron bucket, no one can get in,

The other is Lisbonto in the south, where tens of thousands of merchant ships from all over the Obaro come and go. The trading office here is closed 24 hours a day, and even late at night you can hear the sound of commercial carriages coming and going, and the daily transaction volume is in the millions. It's simply a flowing river of gold, how not to make people blush,

It's not that there is no high-level Imperial who tried to make a move, Princess Ruirdian, the Imperial Princess Haraudian sent her most confidant maid, but she disappeared silently in Lisbonto, no one alive or dead!

Tulit Coline, the princess of the Empire, the head of the top family of Obarro, and a native of Lisbonto, is one of the emperor's favorite concubines who is in charge of the Imperial Foreign Ministry with one hand, and is fully supporting the prosperity of the Imperial Foreign Ministry

This time, the Imperial Ministry of the Interior released a vacancy for the Lisbonto Administrator, and in a calm situation, there were all kinds of strange waves

The princess in charge of the internal affairs of the empire was Princess Mao Monazin, the first princess who gave birth to the crown prince of the empire, and chose to go to the northern city wall at such a critical moment.

The important military minister, the Imperial Minister of Military Affairs, Hu Kochili, went to the northern part of the country in the name of inspection at night, and the military and political facades all left the Imperial Kyoto together, so that all the forces did not know how to react when they learned that the political minister of Lisbonto had fallen to an unknown Tirlonte!

The report that the fat man is reviewing contains the content of these imperial forces on this matter, and all forces are taking various measures to find out who this Tirlonte who has picked the biggest peach is, and which force is it.

I'm afraid only the emperor knows that Tyronte is the lord of the pre-county Tyrnarant, and he doesn't belong to any faction of power, if he really wants to count, it's the emperor's faction, and Tyrnarant is a pawn he played.

This new Lisbento magistrate is attracting the attention of the entire empire, which is what the fat man needs

At this time, the empire needs an appearance externally, and it must have a sufficient amount of attention to show that at this time, the empire has not yet had the consciousness to fight with the six countries, so it is not ready to have anything to do with the war, the main force of the empire is repairing the long wall in the north, and the entire empire's top management is still fighting for the affairs of Lisbonto, at this time, who will pay attention to the six southern countries?

Only in this way will the six southern countries reveal the layout that has been lurking, on land, there are not many weaknesses of the empire, if there is, it should be in the newly conquered Fishan and Eastern provinces, in terms of sea areas, the control of the imperial navy is there, so it is unlikely that the six countries will strike militarily, but it is difficult to say economically, if there is, then the battlefield is undoubtedly in the base camp of the empire's maritime trade, Lisbonto!

Tilnarant in the carriage obviously didn't know how big his role was, his face was obviously stunned after hearing what the emperor said, what did the emperor mean by this, lack of manpower, basically the meaning of insufficient population, this is easy to understand, the question is. How can the population be insufficient? Kill them all! Tirnarant's body trembled, although he saw some situations, but he didn't expect the emperor to say it so unabashedly, walking in the place where there were once corpses, what kind of thoughts did the emperor have in his heart? This is the controlled area of the empire, so naturally the empire did it, is it appreciating the fruits of his butcher's knife?

It's no wonder that Tirnarrant thought about it, you know, if it was when the empire first entered Obarro, it was understandable to say that there was a shortage of manpower. Now it is a bit far-fetched to say that there is a shortage of manpower, the population of the empire has exceeded 200 million in the summer of last year, this is what Tirnarant saw in the monthly issue of the imperial government affairs bulletin, which is an internal publication published by the Ministry of the Interior of the empire, mainly to inform local government officials of some government affairs information of the empire, because the scope of the empire is too large, so the publication period of the journal can only be set once a month,

What is the concept of 200 million? The population of Ikadivar as a whole is only 60 million. This is more than the combined population of the three Ikadisa continents, so Tirnarant has to be convinced by the Vecchia Falcon, and any dissatisfaction with such a god-like opponent in both government and military affairs is a joke

"The magistrates of this land are too lazy. So much so that large tracts of Langtian are empty, even if it is caused by a lack of manpower, at least more villages should be built on the main road of the empire, after all, there are still a lot of caravans coming and going. Caravans need to rest as they pass by, and the caravans that come and go will bring more business opportunities to sell local products. Also a good choice"

Tirnarant said that after a few years as a political officer, he was no longer the closed little lord of the year, and he was more accepting of the idea of rejuvenating the country through commerce in terms of thinking, but he had just experienced the northern part of the empire, and the dazzling and messy scene of oil cooking had not yet had time to digest it, and the huge contrast came to his face at once, and everything in front of him showed that the inaction and laissez-faire of the regional administrative officials,

"Also, how can there be a shortage of manpower here? If I'm not mistaken, it's all the best land, and it's rich in fishing, enough to be a densely populated area."

Tirnarant's tone showed a little caution, and he said it very easily, in fact, his hands were unconsciously clenched together under the table, facing the pressure of an emperor, not ordinary people can bear it, and the reason why he dared to ask like this is because he knew that Vekia Falcon took good care of himself, and it seemed that the delicate relationship between the friend turned from the enemy gave him the opportunity to turn over, of course, the intricate relationship between his sister and the emperor should also be a factor,

The war between the emperor and Tyr was rumored to be the emperor's revenge for the woman, so that now, his sister does not even have a suitor, the emperor's woman, who dares to marry, followed herself to Salander Tyrniuris, began to believe in the doctrine of the sky, decided to be alone for the rest of his life, thinking of the lonely figure of his sister who stood in the harbor to see him off before leaving from the empire, I don't know why, Tirnarant wanted to sarcastically mock the man in front of him,

"I don't massacre civilians"

The fat man heard the chill in Tirnarant's words, and finally looked away from the report, and looked up at him with some surprise as to what was wrong with this guy

The fat man was already rumored to be a demon who killed millions of people during the local unification war, and he didn't resent being called a murderous demon, but the fat man definitely didn't like to carry the black pot for others, and when he saw Tyrnarant's face a little blue, he said slowly in a slow tone, "It stands to reason that after conquering a region, I will make great efforts to rectify the conquered area and resume production, for the slaughter at the civilian level, it will only become a stumbling block to rapid recovery, the only time the fire in the royal capital of Vekia, you know better than me what is going on"

"The royal capital is on fire!"

Tirnarant's face turned pale all of a sudden, what was going on with the fire in the royal capital, I'm afraid he knew best, his madness at the beginning, now thinking about it, made Tirnarant feel afraid, it's not that he has become very big, but the ruthlessness in the troubled times, in the era of peace, there will be a bit of human revival after all, that fire, burned 80,000 people, and also burned a dynasty" The war of the unification of Ikadivar, the confrontation of hundreds of thousands of troops, the total casualties of our army exceeded 100,000, and I still accepted the surrender of the capital of Palavin of the king of Ryrdian, the capital of Nord, and the central city of Aaron of Dorok" The fat man's voice paused, and then continued, "And forgave most of the nobles in these countries who opposed me, which is also the reason why after the unification of Ikadiva, after a slight fluctuation, all regions chose to recognize my rule, I have the name of the devil, but I do the things of angels"" The peasants got the land they wanted, the merchants got the opportunity to make a lot of money, and the nobles took the property compensation, either as a manor owner to live a leisurely life, or transformed into a businessman, to continue to fight for the re-rise of the family, the elite of the army, continue to serve in the imperial army, except for the change of the object of allegiance, in addition to the fact that there is no longer unnecessary continued internal friction, in fact, the real change is not very big"" Believe it or not, the people of the occupied areas are my people, and I have always upheld this and have never changed!" The fat man's black pupils flickered like starlight, and he glanced at the silent wilderness outside the window and took a deep breath

"The desolation here, it has nothing to do with me, this is the Moro Province, only seventy miles away from the former Gangfei Kyoto, the army of the Istanbul Emperor was the first to break through the Moro Province, and then with lightning speed, one day and one night, the forward killed thirty miles away from Gangfei Kyoto, and finally led to the second relocation of the Gangfei Empire to Beijing, and more than two million Gangfei people died in this area."

"The loss of a large number of populations has led to the fact that this area, which was originally the core of the Empire, has become a desert without people, coupled with the deliberate emptying of the empire in the early stage of the Sino-European and Pakistani War, which happens to be geographically located in the southwest region of the empire, which is recognized as the first prosperous place in the inland region of the empire, and between Lisbonto, the base camp of the southern maritime trade, most of the manpower and materials will be unconsciously attracted away, so that in the area where the north and south of the empire are handed over, there is a huge blank area of more than 300 miles from north to south and nearly 1,000 miles long”

The fat man calmly closed the documents in his hand, Tirnarante was going south as the administrative officer of Lisbonto, so it was normal to receive reports on government affairs along the way, and no one would know, and most of the documents were given to another person in the carriage,

"It's called the scar of the empire! It takes not just patience, but also opportunity!" "Opportunity?" Tirlannat's face turned slightly,

"When you get to Lisbonto, you'll know! It should have already begun!" The fat man didn't continue to explain, his eyes looked out of the window, the grass was long, and it was also a kind of scenery, but it was Tirnarant who saw the corner of the emperor's mouth on the other side showing a cold smile, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but it was more like an extremely sharp knife (to be continued......
