Chapter 322: Worth Surpassing Brother Dong (Thank You, Envy, Jealousy, Hatred, Ten Thousand Rewards!)
The campaign lasted nearly ten days.
Especially in the next few days.
The villagers under Wang Chen's command barely rested well, and when Bagan was completely captured, everyone relaxed.
However, Wang Chen did not let the villagers rest immediately, but asked them to transport all the corpses in Bagan to the outside of the city for cremation.
Like ancient wars, the victor will dispose of the corpse properly, and even send it back to his relatives for burial, as for the defeated side, it mainly depends on the attitude of the victor, such as Bai Qi attacked Zhao and killed 420,000 people, but it was just digging a big pit and burying it, if it was a little easier, it would directly let its violent corpse be in the wilderness, or become food for wild beasts, or become a pile of white bones under the wind and rain.
However, the ancients also had a very unique method of disposing of corpses, called "Zhujing Temple", which I believe many people did not know.
The specific method of disposal is to pile all the corpses of the defeated side on both sides of the road, and then cover the soil and tamp it to form a pyramid-shaped mound, which not only disposes of the corpses of the enemy, but also shows off the military merits and national strength.
It's just that Wang Chen doesn't like this way, it's not that he doesn't want to show off his strength, but there is no need to use this way, because the corpses are piled up, just covering the soil and tamping it, if it takes a long time, it will not only pollute the environment, but also cause plague.
In the future, the whole of Bagan will be its own territory.
Of course, Wang Chen had to take good care of it and strangle the possibility of the plague in the cradle.
The sky was already bright and thorough.
Even sitting in the palace with the least killing, Wang Chen could still smell the smell of blood floating in the air.
At this moment, Xiao Jianhua hurriedly walked over from outside the palace, as soon as he walked in, looked left and right, and solemnly lifted the hem of his robe, then knelt down, and performed the most noble worship in the "Zhou Li" - three bows and nine bows, and shouted: "I have seen Your Majesty." ”
Generally speaking, only when the emperor ascends the throne, the ministers will carry out three bows and nine knocks, usually unless there are major ceremonies or etiquette necessary for the court, see the emperor as long as he makes a move, of course, this refers to the Song Dynasty, after the Yuan Dynasty, it will become a real kneeling, as for Xiao Jianhua's current actions, Wang Chen understands what it means, the other party wants to make himself the emperor, but he already has an idea in his heart, and he has promised the village soldiers before, not to go back on his word, stretched out his hand and waved," Sir, I said that I would not be emperor, so get up. ”
Xiao Jianhua raised his head in surprise, "You really don't ascend the throne as emperor?"
Wang Chen stood up, slowly walked in front of Xiao Jianhua, stretched out his hands to help the other party, and said seriously: "Really." ”
"But now that the whole Bagan has been defeated, the country cannot be without a king for a day, if you don't ascend the throne as the emperor, how can you convince the people of Li?
Wang Chen smiled, "The country cannot be without a king for a day, there must be someone to command the world, but I don't need to ascend the throne, the emperor is just a title, besides, for Bagan, we are all foreigners, maybe temporarily use force to make this nation succumb, after a long time, they will still find a way to overthrow our rule, rather than this, I might as well hold the power, and find a nominal 'Bagan king' to come out and serve the people......"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jianhua interrupted anxiously: "Lord, if you don't ascend the throne, forget it, why do you want to give up the throne to others?"
"Just listen to me. Wang Chen said very seriously: "First of all, we attacked the Bagan division out of the nameless, at least for the people of Bagan, our division is nameless, secondly, we killed hundreds of thousands of people, unless we kill all the people of Bagan, otherwise all kinds of rebellions are absolutely common, but once the people of Bagan are killed, will the country still become a country?"
Xiao Jianhua didn't speak, listened attentively, and bowed his head in agreement from time to time.
"In that case, let's just have a teacher to be famous. Wang Chen said with a smile: "Isn't Gong Cuo Jiang Piao the original royal family of Miao Gen Zhenghong? We can make him the new King of Bagan, and his family can inherit the King of Bagan for generations, of course, this King of Bagan is just a symbol of honor of Bagan, and does not have any actual rights, and even if the descendants of Gong Cuo Jiang Piao want to succeed as King of Bagan, the premise is that it is ...... It needs to be recognized by me, or rather, by our central government. ”
Xiao Jianhua is such a smart person, he immediately reacted, "You mean?"
"That's right. Wang Chen smiled and nodded.
That's right.
It is a constitutional monarchy.
In this way, the power of the monarch is somewhat limited, and some monarchs are limited to the power of merely acting as representatives of the state, without actual power, called "virtual heads of state".
Generally speaking, the virtual head of state in a constitutional monarchy is still very much loved and respected by the people, and even has some rights.
But how could Wang Chen allow the virtual head of state to have real rights, so he put himself above the virtual head of state, if you want to be the king of Bagan, you must get the consent of your buddies.
As for the usual?
Gotcha, where are you going to be cool?
My buddy just needs to pay you a little salary every year to live on, and he usually sends a lot of people to watch over you.
"In this way, we have changed from aggression to justification?" Xiao Jianhua said.
Wang Chen laughed and said, "Liang Wu Su Luohan is a country thief, and it is certainly justified that we 'help' Gong Cuo Jiang Piao to regain the throne." After a pause, "And in the future, we will definitely not be able to live in the land of Bagan, at least the surrounding kingdoms of Zhitong and Chan kingdoms will be taken, by the way, and the previous Qin States, they all have their own monarchs, if we want to stabilize our rule, the best way is not to abolish their kings, just to hold the power in our hands." ”
"This trick is good, it's just ......" Xiao Jianhua was still a little hesitant, "In this way, your name is not right, and there will always be hidden dangers." ”
Wang Chen blinked and said: "This requires you to publicize my identity as an immortal, don't you believe in Buddhism in the Bagan region?" You can say that I am the pope sent to the world by Mahayana Buddhism, and the birth of every king needs me to be crowned, and I will make some visions of heaven and earth, and naturally and imperceptibly, I will be above the king, justifiable, and even if someone rebels in the future, if they do not get my crown, it is still illegal, and anyone can crusade and overthrow it under the banner of acting for the heavens, what do you think?"
Xiao Jianhua inhaled, stretched out his thumb and said: "High! Your lord, you are really high! In this way, you have both real power and the highest symbol of honor, and you don't have to bear the infamy of ascending the throne and stealing the country, it is really high!"
Hey.
Of course it's high.
This trick is a combination of constitutional monarchy and papal coronation, can it not be high?
To put it simply, Wang Chen became a bitch and set up an archway.
Power.
Theocratic.
It's all in your own hands.
It is more realistic than the ancient Chinese Son of Heaven being ordered by heaven.
Once this is done, it is not a joke, for example, in ancient Europe, "Pepin the Short" served as the palace minister of the Frankish kingdom and held real power. At this time, the court minister of the Frankish kingdom had great powers, in charge of the kingdom's judicial power, the right to appoint and dismiss officials, and the right to reward land, and also commanded the kingdom's army, and the king had become a puppet. But even so, "Pepin the Short" was not satisfied, and his ideal was to be king himself. The usurpation of the throne was not really difficult for Pepin, but the difficulty was that he had to face a rule that Europe had to abide by at that time - the need for the crowning of the pope.
Even later, the power of the pope was so great that he could appoint or abolish the monarchs of Christian countries, he could levy taxes at will throughout Europe, and the secular affairs of the ruling circles of Europe were subject to the intervention of the papacy.
For example, the Crusades, which lasted for 200 years, were the masterpieces of the papacy.
One can imagine how great the power of the pope is.
And Wang Chen is even more ruthless, he wants to be not only the pope, but also the lord of the world, each region allows the existence of kings, but these kings have no use, neither power, but also have to be constrained by their own reputation, which can be said to have brought the imperial power and divine power to the peak.
"Okay, go back and call Gong Cuo Jiang Piao, and I will crown him king. Wang Chen ended the topic and asked, "Has the corpse been cremated?"
"Burn it outside the city. Speaking of this, Xiao Jianhua smiled bitterly and said: "I went around just now, and I smelled all the smell of barbecue, and I thought that I wouldn't be able to eat meat in a short time." ”
Sweat.
You're humorous.
Wang Chen was dizzy for a moment, and asked about another important matter, "And what about the jadeite I asked you to collect all over the city?"
Xiao Jianhua immediately said: "Lord Qiqi, in addition to the jadeite damaged in the battle, I asked people to collect it from house to house, including in the palace, there are about more than 5,500 jadeite products of all sizes, the heaviest one weighs nearly 400 catties, and the small ones also have rings, hairpins and other objects, and I also found a lot of jadeite wool, I let people weigh it, and the total amount is expected to be about one million catties." ”
the groove.
A million catties of jadeite wool!?
Wang Chen was taken aback, you must know that Xiao Jianhua is talking about jadeite wool, not raw wool, how much is the annual output of jadeite in Myanmar in modern society?
In '08, it produced 32,000 tons a year.
In '09, it was reduced to 25,000 tons.
Moreover, since the beginning of the first year or two, the Myanmar government's data on jadeite wool has weakened, which is nothing more than because the output of jadeite is getting smaller and smaller.
One million catties of jadeite in the Song Dynasty system is equivalent to 1.2 million catties in modern society, and it is 600 tons when converted into tons!
There are only 600 tons of jadeite wool!
This is not counting the more than 5,500 pieces of jadeite products of all sizes, how much does it cost to add them together!?
The price of jadeite of different water species and different qualities is different!
Take the low-grade bean seed jadeite as an example, as long as the polishing is fine and the texture is smooth, a pendant can be sold for thousands of yuan.
How much does a pendant weigh?
Generally between fifteen and twenty-five grams.
Not to mention whether these 600 tons of jadeite are medium and high-end, even if they are all low-grade ordinary bean jadeite, not the kind full of green, as long as Wang Chen has channels to make it into a finished product and sell it, it can be worth more than 70 billion RMB!
Of course, the reality of the situation must not be calculated in this way, after all, processing, sales channels, etc. are costly.
Like Myanmar, there are hundreds of billions of jadeite turnover every year.
But this is just the transaction amount, which also includes a lot of rough stones, some people buy back to cut it to see, it is a good jadeite, make a lot of money, some people buy back and can't cut out a good jadeite, and lose all their money.
Therefore, like Wang Chen, who now has so much jadeite, it may be impossible to sell it at the highest theoretical price of 72 billion, but there is still hope for 30 or 40 billion, because the jadeite on his hand is not a rough stone, it is all wool!
That's not even counting the more than 5,500 finished products.
Sent it.
There is only one thought in Wang Chen's mind, the buddy made war money, and he is still the kind who gets rich all of a sudden.
You must know that his total cash before was only 800 million US dollars plus 3.25 billion RMB, and if all the 800 million US dollars were exchanged for RMB, it would be equivalent to about 5.38 billion yuan, and together, the actual cash would be about 8.83 billion.
However, now, as long as he gets rid of these jadeites, his worth can reach a terrifying 50 billion, which is enough to rank in the top 40 of China's rich list, or even higher, and is expected to be no more than 35.
In other words, at that time, only a few dozen people in the whole of China will be richer than him.
The most important point is that he can manipulate this money and turn it into an invisible asset.
Anyway, once these jadeites are taken off, Wang Chen's real worth in modern society will be no problem surpassing Dongge's, after all, due to the scandal, Dongge's current worth is only less than 45 billion.
Well, there are only more than 45 billion of these words Wang Chen now dares to say arrogantly, hey, isn't it just a little money, buddy can complete the transcendence!
