Chapter 290: Great Wisdom Like a Demon
From the very beginning, Qin Ze firmly believed in a truth, that is, whether it is courtesy, righteousness, shame or avenue justice, none of them can withstand the stomachs of the common people.
The first element of life is always material, and people will only consider those so-called pursuits when they are full. And when a person's stomach growls, he frantically searches for anything to eat.
It's like the locusts in Chang'an, like the bare birch trees outside Lingzhou, and now this kind of thing is happening in the Turkic ......
Unfortunately, they don't even have leaves to eat except for the endless grass.
The blizzard took away the last of these people's life, and after four months of heavy snowfall, there were very few horses and sheep left that could survive. On the other hand, the herders, who were glad that they were able to hide in warm tents, now know what torment is.
The frozen horses and sheep were dug out of the snow, and every piece of meat was gnawed clean from ear to toe. Even the indigestible bones were cooked and then crushed and swallowed in their stomachs.
But a dead horse or sheep means that as long as they eat it, there will never be a second one. They had no mare's milk and no goat's milk, so when they had eaten the carcasses. They have no choice but to keep eating.
They set their sights on live horses and sheep, and in fact if they could get enough hay, the animals might even give them delicious milk to drink. But now the snow is falling non-stop, and the entire grassland is covered with thick snow. Even if they cut through the snow, the amount of dead grass they could get was very limited, and it was not even comparable to the consumption of their own physical strength.
Rather than waiting for them to disappear little by little, it is better to kill them as soon as possible. So at this time, the herdsmen began to look for food from the living horses and sheep, first eating the oldest and then the sick......
These truths seem so normal to them, but haven't they been torn to shreds before?
Survival of the fittest is the rule of nature, but what people like to do most in this life is to always think about their own meaning of God.
So after the appearance of local warmth, they regarded it as a gift from God. The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled pray for the blessing of God in warm tents, and the long-lasting carols are sounded here every day. They glorified the mercy of God and gave them such warm tents during the winter months.
But when they found out that they had not eaten, the carol turned into mourning......
Qin Ze tried not to think about what was happening on the grassland now, because it would remind him of the fire outside Lingzhou City. But now this invisible fire has caused a real human tragedy!
Only the devil likes to watch tragedy, especially the kind of fighting and separation between flesh and blood. They enjoy it and enjoy it. Qin Ze is not a devil, but sometimes he has to become a devil.
Someone will always die for the war......
If Qin Ze is a devil who forced Liangshan, then Tang Jian is definitely a devil who is willing to cut open his heart.
He was happy to tell Qin Ze everything he had seen on the grassland.
"Today Jieli sent troops to the Hannar Prairie, and I heard that there was a riot in absenteeism. Do you remember the one who went here to deliver coal first? He was standing on the prairie now, and I heard that the miners had pried his head open and threw a lot of red-hot coals into it......"
"Fluttering Protector Qi Jin also came today, asking Jieli for help. The man was already hungry, and he wanted to roast the sheep for him, but he finished it before it was cooked......"
"I heard that the hungry herdsmen have started to eat the grass roots, but now it's winter, and the thing can only be a mouthful of grass clippings when it grabs and stuffs it into its mouth......
Qin Ze wanted to try to control himself from thinking about such a picture, but in the end, he found that he couldn't do it at all. Having experienced the locust plague in Chang'an, it is easy for him to sketch these pictures......
Qin Ze saved hundreds of thousands of lives on the grassland, and now these hundreds of thousands of lives will cause the loss of millions of lives.
Tang Jian was in high spirits now, and he was about to leave. He was very happy to see such a good show before leaving.
Qin Ze really couldn't listen to Tang Jian's chatter, so he had to interrupt his interest with words: "If you go back to Chang'an, please bring me a letter to my wife who has not passed the door, and don't tell me about my injury." As for Your Majesty's side, you should know what to do, now is not the best time, wait. When they eat the last sheep and kill the last horse, they are at their craziest. Qin Ze took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Tang Jian, and said, "If Tang Gong meets someone from the Taiyuan Chamber of Commerce, please advise them to evacuate the grassland as soon as possible." ”
Tang Jian stretched out his hand to take the letter and stuffed it into his arms casually. It's just that he was a little puzzled by Qin Ze's last sentence.
"Nowadays, Turkic food is scarce, shouldn't it be these merchants who are the safest? And why let them go? And isn't this just an opportunity for them? ”
In Tang Jian's opinion, at this time, Datang not only should not withdraw businessmen, but also should encourage Datang's businessmen to come here. With the food they brought, it was naturally impossible to alleviate the Turkic status quo, on the contrary, they could take advantage of this opportunity to loot a lot of money.
Ma, this thing is something that Datang has always coveted. In the past, Datang used real money in exchange for these herding horses, but now ......
What will a herdsman who is already starving to this point do for the sake of food security?
Qin Ze looked at Tang Jian and shook his head slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "No, what Datang has to do now is to put aside this matter, and the cleaner the better." Datang wants a war horse, and he doesn't need to exchange things for it at all. Because......
This will soon be the world of Datang! ”
Tang Jian frowned, although now the Turkic civil strife is not stopping. But 100,000 iron horsemen still exist, as long as this is still in the Tang Dynasty, how can we talk about destroying the Turks?
"It's actually weird that if two people are not dressed in the snow, then these two people will definitely hug each other to keep warm. But if one of these two men had clothes, they would just kill each other.
Now the Turks are like this, the fire of civil strife has been burned, and it will burn bigger and bigger.
Jieli now wishes that Datang could show his head, so that he can use the excuse of sending troops to Datang. Smoothly lead this fire out, as long as this fire has a place to vent, it will eventually dissipate.
But if we can't find a way to vent, then Jieli can only let this fire burn until they are completely burned, and we just have to wait until this day. ”
When Qin Ze said these words, the whole person still had a smile on his face, but this smile made Tang Jian feel a little palpitation.
The young man in front of him gave him too much surprise, and when everyone saw that he had saved hundreds of thousands of people with floor heating, they never thought that this would bring such a devastating ending.
From proposing floor heating to get Jieli's attention, and then using white stacks to give Jieli an expectation, to finally even using assassination to get rid of suspicion before things are reversed......
Other words......
"You've been planning all of this from the beginning?" Tang Jian looked at Qin Ze in a daze, and a wave of helplessness also rose in his heart.
Although it seems to be young, it can be talked about mental strategy......
His own sword is already dull......
"Causing civil unrest is only the first step, and the next thing is the most important." Qin Ze stretched comfortably, these days he said that he was recuperating from his injury, but in fact, he just didn't want to appear in front of Jieli.
But now it seems that things have developed to the point where he expected, and if he hides here and doesn't go out, he will arouse Jieli's suspicions.
So next......
To set fire?
Tang Jian didn't leave happily, in fact, if he hadn't had one last conversation with Qin Ze, he would still be quite happy.
But when he knew that he was also being used by Qin Ze, he couldn't be happier. Because he doesn't know whether to celebrate or worry about Datang?
Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and Qin Ze's intelligence seems to have reached the point where he can influence the rise and fall of a country, which is terrifying.
And what is even more terrifying is that this person does not have any shackles on him, just like a free-flowing Maxima.
The Great Wisdom Demon is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that this is a restless demon!
In fact, the reason why Qin Ze told Tang Jian these things was just to stabilize Li Er's heart. He was really afraid that Li Er would not be able to withstand the temptation and take the opportunity to send troops to the Turks. When Jieli raised his arms, the grassland became an iron plate again.
Because in the face of external enemies, there is no internal strife!
It's just that if he knew that his words would leave such an impression on Tang Jian, he would probably only be able to cry out to the sky.
Will Qin Ze rebel?
Rebellion is very tiring, and a person will spend more than a hundred years in his life, running around with his head and not saying anything, waiting for the country to be defeated. It is estimated that the will of man has almost been exhausted, and then he will continue to worry about national affairs......
Qin Ze always felt that fighting the world was like working hard, from the most grassroots employees, fighting all the way, and finally rising to the chairman step by step. Then, after a few years, he dragged the old body of Long Zhong and lay under the sun and slowly waited for it to rot.
This is the most boring life, and only a masochist will let go of a good life and not enjoy it, but toss himself. And as far as it seems now, Li Er is at least not bad, so Qin Ze doesn't mind being a gentleman in the prosperous world.
And in order to ensure the firmness of his goals, he chose to put shackles on himself. Wang Yuxi is the shackles on Qin Ze's body, maybe Tang Jian can't see it, but Qin Ze knows that this thing is heavier than the sky!
And Qin Ze believes that Li Er will understand his mind, and after pretending to be a lazy donkey for such a long time, it is time to shake his ears......
The wound on his chest had been completely healed, and even the scar left on it had been eliminated by unknown medicines, which made Qin Ze very happy.
Get dressed early and pick up a little hot tooth charm. Qin Ze walked towards Jieli's tent excitedly......
