Chapter 281: This Is Not Compassion, It's Conscience

Chapter 201 This is not called mercy, but conscience

In order to speed up the progress of Chaoge City, all the residents of the original Chaoge and the original Haodu City were relocated to live in the ancestral mountain, and at the same time, a large number of good citizens were screened in the city, and a total of 19,000 people were selected to jointly build the Chaoge City in the ancestral mountain.

As a result, the population of Yuan Chaoge, Yuan Haodu and Qiancheng was mainly composed of the remnants and savages of Yandi in the later period, as well as the early Donghu slaves and Baidi clans.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are naturally small circles.

So with the acquiescence of Mo Lian, these three cities were divided by the strength of the four directions.

The former Chaoge was occupied by a group of savages with a population of 30,000, and their leader, the Golden Frog King, wrote to Wang Xu to apply for a clan name, claiming to be the remnants of the Xuansu tribe in Liaohe, hoping that the Lone Bamboo Kingdom could reward him with the glory of his ancestors, so this group of savages is now all Xuansu people.

Because the Xuansu people were born in the mountains and forests, they were physically strong and hard-working, although at least not high, but they were obedient, and after staying in Chaoge City, the control scope of Chaoge City was unanimously expanded to Bird Beach, and the cultivated land area was also expanded more than three times, and they were good at domesticating livestock.

Because of these characteristics of the Xuanfu people, they are deeply loved by the dumb children and Mo Ren, and the current bird cage of Mo Ren has been expanded several times, recorded in the book, and there are nearly 30 species of birds ready to breed, among which large birds such as white cranes, swans, and white storks have been domesticated for the second generation.

Moreover, the mute frog breeding program was also a great success, because the tadpoles lacked natural predators, the survival rate was frightening, and the canteens in various cities now served frog meat every day, and the toads were released into the cities and forests to eat insects and mosquitoes because Wang Xu forbade them to eat.

However, what is more tragic is that although the number of these toads is huge, the number of wild birds is even larger, and they are all buried in the belly of the birds.

Moreover, wild birds not only eat the toads in the city, but also eat the food that the residents dry outside, and thousands of wild birds come to the city, which will bring a bird droppings rain, so the residents of the city have had many wars with wild birds.

Compared with the prosperity of the Xuanwu clan in the former dynasty, the remnants of Yandi who occupied the former capital seem a little dull.

It may be that they are accustomed to the cultivation rules of Yan Kingdom, and the remnants of Yandi are just about completing the task of cultivating the land, and they will not deliberately open up the fields, and they will be fine after completing their personal workload every day.

In the past, when I was in Yan Kingdom, cultivated land was taxed, so in order to eat, the people had to go to work, and Yan Country was still a well field system, the so-called well field system is that the state divides a piece of land to you, divided into nine pieces, the largest piece in the middle is called public land, that is, for the state to tax, you can only cultivate the surrounding private land only after you have completed the cultivation of public land.

Therefore, in order to have enough to eat, a family of five is basically men, women and children who can barely complete the food and clothing of the family.

However, there is no tax system in Guzhu Country, only the basic working hours per day, and then you can go to the canteen to eat for free, and you can eat all-you-can-eat, and the amount of work in cultivation is because of the advanced cultivation equipment, the work that used to take five people to complete can now be completed by only one person.

Therefore, a lot of free time is provided for the remnants of Yandi.

So the remnants of Yandi used this free time to take tasks at the neighborhood committee, and after completing them, they got rewards to exchange for what they needed.

Therefore, although the population of Yandi in Qianhao Capital City is close to 60,000, and the land outside is more vast and fertile, they have no extra thoughts on opening up wasteland, so Qianhao Capital City has basically not changed much.

But the remnants of Yandi have undergone earth-shaking changes, more than 60,000 people in the city, almost everyone wears new clothes, and even wears end-of-work jewelry, each family has a detached courtyard, and there are dogs, livestock, sheep and jujube trees in the courtyard, and the life is comparable to that of the people of Yanguo.

From this, it can be seen at once that the gap between the two groups that have suddenly been cultivated by two different cultures.

The Xuanwu people were relatively selfless, and all their labor was paid for the benefit of the whole tribe, so they focused all their energy on reclaiming wasteland, grazing sheep and building cities.

The remnants of Yandi are more selfish, and after completing the collective task, they pay extra to meet their own needs.

The two different attitudes to life and culture naturally have sharp contrasts and contradictions.

The Xuanwu people will despise the remnants of Yandi for their indulgence and hard work, and the remnants of Yandi feel that the people of Xuandi have their brains in water, and the two parties dislike each other, and rarely interact.

The early Donghu slaves and the 60,000 Donghu women and children sent by the later escort were all placed in the Linhu Department, because they were far away from the other three cities, and they were under the direct system of the ink wolf, and they had been slowly cultivated into lonely bamboo people, mainly responsible for training and training reserve troops.

The last is not much change in the city, except for the removal of more than 50,000 people to the ancestral mountain to build the song city, the city as a whole has not changed much, under the joint governance of Qiu He and Zhou Hong'er, mainly for the Guzhu country to undertake the metallurgy, brick burning, road repair and other infrastructure tasks, and the contradiction between the Baidi clan and the original slaves of the city has gradually dissolved.

And because of the success of Zhou Hong'er's visit to Jizi City with Zang Di this time, and the news of the destruction of Donghu brought back by Qiu Zhu'er, more than a dozen clans of the Bai Di Department were ready to move into the ancestral mountain to live, because they had already seen that the glory of the Bai Di clan had been extinguished.

After that, they will be a group of ordinary residents of the Lonely Bamboo Country.

Such a balanced situation was maintained until not long ago, after the arrival of the remnants of the Qi State.

Although it is said that the living standard of the remnants of Yandi has reached the level of the common people and nobles, it is only material, and spiritually, they are still the heads of Qian.

But the remnants of Qi are different, Tian An, the team led by Wei Qi, although the number is less than 20,000, but they are all real children of the royal family, even if Tian An brought the door from Linzi, they are all spiritual nobles.

After such a group of real aristocrats arrived in the country of Guzhu, it would naturally bring a different cultural impact.

The first is misfits.

Because these people were considered to be technical elite immigrants in Mrs. Xu's face, Mo Lian arranged them to Xucheng at first.

Less than 20,000 people, crammed into the huge city that can accommodate 300,000 people, it will not seem abrupt, but these people themselves appear abrupt.

Like the original Bai Di clan, they are not willing to eat the central canteen with everyone, but they will cultivate their own farms, and they will also be willing to go to the Ministry of Metallurgy to accept some commissions to exchange for materials, but they will not participate in any activities in the city.

Although Guzhu advocates prosperity, n, civilization, harmony, and respects anyone's living habits, it does touch the bottom line a little bit of unsociability.

For it means a faith, and that is resistance.

The most important quality of a collective is obedience, and the last thing you can ask for is resistance.

Because of resistance, it means that there is no longer a heart.

Since you have entered the country of lonely bamboo, and you are not willing to learn to obey, why does the country of lonely bamboo provide you with benefits?

Although the emperor did not explain how to govern the city, Qiu He also knew that the bottom line was to let all the residents of the city accept the lonely bamboo culture and obey the emperor's orders.

But now under his hands, the remnants of the Qi State are engaged in specialization, which is why he should be a fool.

However, he can't use tough means, after all, this may also cause a backlash from the remnants of the former Haoduyan land, which is not conducive to future integration, and there are a large number of special talents needed by the Lone Bamboo Country among the remnants of the Qi State, such as shipbuilding, silkworms, textiles, fishing and hunting, pottery and water conservancy.

So Qiu He kicked the ball to Qianhaodu, and let these remnants of Qi live with the remnants of Yandi and run in with each other.

That way, at least one side can be retained in the end.

Learning from Zhai Qiu to build the house on the city wall, Qiu He also built the house on the city wall, and built a seven-meter-high corner tower at the east corner of the inner city wall Wang Wall, relying on the watchtower at the corner of the city wall.

Usually standing on the top floor of the corner tower, you can overlook the whole city from the east corner, and the north is a 26-meter-wide and 10-mile-long Datang River that has just been dug by the dumb child, and it is named the artificial canal of the Qianqu, there are big boats coming and going every day, but most of them are brand new Xiahe, and they are full of holes after coming back.

But the scenery inside and outside the entire city can be seen in full view.

A very delicate clay pot is scorching on the fire, and the water vapor inside brings a burst of fragrant fragrance, which is then blown away by the river breeze blowing from the canal.

Despite the scorching summer sun, Qiu's corner tower is still cool.

Otherwise, Qiu He would not be able to make tea here.

Qiu Zhu'er wore a white gauze skirt around her waist, only a white bust on her upper body, and her long hair was tied behind her head with a wooden hairpin, revealing her slender neck and collarbone, which made her look more delicate.

The big white legs and small waist with hideous scars were exposed in the air, reflecting white in the sun.

And Qiu He, who was sitting opposite him, was dressed much thicker, with a white shirt and a white robe.

Two almost identical faces, sitting opposite each other, do have a subtle feeling.

"Meow" A soft and cute cat meow sounded from the staircase, and a teddy lynx with white hair and black spots jumped on the high platform and yelled at Qiu He's fierce milk.

"Qiqi, come here." Qiu He scooped a spoonful of boiling tea from the boiling tea pot with a wooden spoon and placed it on the clay bowl on the floor, beckoning to the little lynx.

When the little lynx heard Qiu He's call, it ran over with its little brown tail upright, stuck out its tongue and licked the hot air coming out of the pottery bowl, and made a snoring sound.

"Idiot." Qiu Zhu'er was amused by the little lynx's way of licking the air.

"Sister blames it, it's not stupid at all." Qiu He smiled, "Look, it's not in a hurry to lick the hot tea in the pottery bowl, but to lick the less hot steam, which won't be scalded and can taste the taste, isn't it witty?" ”

"I should have been teased by you a lot, and I didn't dare to lick the tea in the pottery bowl." Qiu Zhu'er poked it, snorted lightly, kicked over the pottery bowl, and let the tea spill all over the ground, and a lot of it flowed down the cracks in the floor.

The little lynx was also frightened and screamed, and took off on the spot and looked at Qiu Zhu'er in horror.

"Waste." Qiu He shook his head regretfully.

"How fast does this get cold?" Qiu Zhu'er chuckled and pointed to the little lynx that had already started licking the tea on the floor, "Right?" ”

"What could have quenched your thirst can only be tasted now." Qiu He shook his head regretfully and smiled.

"Why quench your thirst? Will it stick to you even if it quenches its thirst? Qiu Zhu'er snorted lightly, and her tone was a little fierce, "If you tame such a thing as a beast, you can't let them eat enough, and after teaching you for so many years, you haven't grown at all." ”

Qiu He looked at Qiu Zhu'er with a face full of hatred, "Sister, what is the lesson." ”

"I don't have a long ability, but my temper is not small." Qiu Zhu'er's pretty face was slightly cold, and she shouted coldly, "Zhou, why are the Sang clan's evil obstacles still alive?" Why does Zhou Honger's n still have a chance to turn around? ”

Qiu He smiled bitterly, "Sister, have you seen Hong'er?" ”

"Smack!" Qiu Zhu'er's perennial sword and spear-wielding palm left a bright red slap mark on Qiu Hebnn's cheek, and it was also red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The concussive hum swirled in his mind, and even the screams of the lynx seemed piercing.

Qiu He held the ground with one hand, hung his head, and scattered a few strands of his originally combed hair on the side of his face, looking a little embarrassed, but he didn't make a sound.

After slowing down for a few seconds, he slowly sat up straight, reached out and picked up a wooden spoon with some trembling eyes, scooped a spoonful of tea in the bowl, blew it, took a small sip, swallowed it with the blood in his mouth, and looked up at his sister with a bright smile, "It seems that my sister has seen Hong'er." ”

The two words are heavy.

Qiu Zhu'er's beautiful eyes flashed with anger, her chest rose and fell, and finally let go of her fist, which was a little shaky, and closed her eyes, "No revenge?" ”

"The Baidi clan is a hundred feet up, and the young and strong men are all dead." Qiu He bent his smiling eyes and smiled warmly.

"Not enough." Qiu Zhu'er's voice was full of chilling viciousness.

"That's enough." Qiu He handed the tea bowl to Qiu Zhu'er and sighed softly.

Qiu Zhu'er wanted to reach out and knock it over.

However, this time Qiu He held down the tea bowl, and the tea splashed, but the tea bowl was safe.

"Are you going to do the opposite?" Qiu Zhu'er stared at him and scolded.

"Sister has paid too much for the Qiu family, she should rest." Qiu He said softly.

"Ah Weng has already said that you and my sister gave birth to the wrong gender, it seems that this is the case." Qiu Zhu'er sneered, "It's only been a few days of stability, so you can throw away all your family feuds and grievances!" ”

"Sister asked herself, when the heavens died and the enemy clan died, did Sister ever hope that which wicked people would open up and bypass the women and children of our clan?" Qiu He asked with a smile.

Qiu Zhu'er raised the corners of her eyes, and looked at her younger brother suspiciously, "When did you become so compassionate?" ”

"It's not compassion, it's conscience." Qiu He smiled: "My brother doesn't want my sister to live in the shadow of revenge all her life. ”

"Only when the great revenge is avenged can the face be sunny." Qiu Zhu'er said coldly.

"The sinners who bullied our people back then have been ambushed, and the Sangyang dog thief was locked up in the temple by Lord Mokui, waiting for the emperor to come back to carry out the dripping punishment." Qiu He sighed lightly, "As for the women and children of the Bai Di clan, they don't know, so they are not sinners, the emperor once said, those who don't know are not guilty." ”

"And how do you know they don't?" Qiu Zhu'er's eyes didn't know whether it was because of anger or excitement, and she became red and bloodshot, gritting her teeth and saying hatefully, "Back then, which of these clan ladies was not the same sister as Ah Yu?" The mother of Hong'er that week is the worst! ”

Qiu He sighed softly and let go of the wooden spoon he had purchased, "They should have no choice." ”

"What about us? What about our sisters and aunts who died tragically? Do we have a choice? Qiu Zhu'er stood up and scolded sharply.

"But we now have a choice." Qiu He raised his head and looked at his sister calmly, "The Qiu clan has started again." ”

"It's your enemy." Qiu Zhu'er sneered.

"You!" Qiu He's eyes instantly turned red, and he instinctively raised his hand.

"You're going to hit me?" Qiu Zhu'er was slightly stunned, and her expression was surprised.

"My face hurts." Qiu He broke out in a cold sweat on his back, stood up and touched his right cheek.

"I hit you on the left cheek!" Qiu Zhu'er screamed.

"Probably transferred." Qiu He turned his back and walked to the steps, "I'm going to take office." ”

"Sit down." Qiu Zhu'er's face was like frost, staring at Qiu He and said in a deep voice.

Qiu He sighed, turned around and said, "Zhou Hong'er and the general Mo Wolf are estimated to tie the knot soon." ”

"Who is the Great General Ink Wolf?" Qiu Zhu'er said coldly: "How is it better than Zhai Qiu?" ”

"The matter of the Qiu family, don't involve other people." Qiu He frowned and said.

Qiu Zhu'er glanced at Qiu He meaningfully: "You can't fight that ink wolf?" ”

"The same dynasty is a minister, and they are all the ministers of the emperor." Qiu He was a little displeased.

"No king likes to have a general who is in power and likes to sit in the royal capital." Qiu Zhu'er's eyes flashed with cunning.

"Sister!" Qiu He shouted in a deep voice: "Don't make trouble unreasonably. ”

After that, I have to go downstairs.

"You come back to me!" Qiu Zhu'er screamed again.

Qiu He held the handle of the stairs with his hand, pursed his lips, turned his head and said helplessly, "Sister, thanks to the emperor's gift, the Qiu family can now live in peace and stability, and the revenge that should be avenged has been avenged, so don't make another incident, when will the wrongs be retribution?" ”

"You don't even have the right to stay in Chaoge, why should you bless the family?" Qiu Zhu'er said sharply.

Qiu He was slightly stunned, and looked at Qiu Zhu'er in surprise, "Do you want to serve the emperor?" ”

Qiu Zhu'er's face changed, and she scolded, "Shut up." ”

"Sister." Qiu He's face became extremely solemn: "Don't have delusions that you shouldn't have." ”

Qiu Zhu'er's eyes darkened, lowered her eyelids, and did not make a sound.

"You haven't seen Situ, you won't know how good Situ is, and you won't know how good the emperor is to Situ." Qiu He's tone and expression were a little strange, as if he couldn't bear it and had a hint of order, "Guzhu He's implementation of the monogamy and non-concubine system is the system of the emperor's repeated orders, including himself." ”

"Alright, get out of here." Qiu Zhu'er also turned her back and shouted irritably.

Qiu He pursed his lips, "I heard that Wang Li seems to be a little concerned about his sister. ”

"That shit?" Qiu Zhu'er snorted lightly: "The old lady can't look down on it." ”

"Then it's better for my sister to be lonely for life." Qiu He smiled and went down the stairs.

"Son of disobedience! It should have been strangled in the first place! Qiu Zhu'er scolded a little angrily.
