"Your Highness has transferred a large amount of supplies from Thunderhorn City and Rock City, and provided all civilians of the Bison Department with three days of standard free rations."

Zong Yu pursed his lips and shook his head with a miserable smile: "Three days' rations...... Hahahaha, sure enough, if you have something to eat, you forget your ancestors. ”

Zong Guang sneered: "What about you? You're not willing to feed the people below for even a meal, and expect them to swear allegiance? ”

Zong Yu glared at Zong Guang angrily, but he couldn't even say a word.

Racking my brains, I really can't think of a rebuttal.

"Yesterday afternoon, when you were still on the road, I became the new patriarch of the Bison Tribe." There was no ostentatious expression on Zong Guang's face, only a gloomy killing intent: "In three days, you and your family will be publicly executed." You have participated in a rebellion against His Royal Highness the Regent. ”

There was no hope in Zongyu's heart. He raised his head and smiled miserably: "A defeated tribal patriarch rebelled...... It's really a good excuse for people not to find fault! It turned out that Niu Tianhao had already taken a fancy to my head and couldn't wait to make it into a bone bowl. ”

Zongguang calmly promised: "For the sake of you being the former patriarch of the Bison Tribe, I will not abuse you and your family." Directly beheaded, the execution will not be too painful. ”

These words shattered the last hope in the depths of the sect's heart. He stood there with his mouth open, his face pale, trembling, and finally the strong sense of dignity as a patriarch prevailed.

"Very well, I'll go first. Tell your so-called Regent and I'll watch him from heaven. I curse everyone or anything that concerns him, and he will repent in endless calamities and pains. ”

Zong Guang didn't care about this, he shrugged his shoulders: "Please." ”

……

As the heads of the clan were hung high in the central square of Bison City, the split and large-scale relocation of the Bison Department also began.

A total of 360,000 people left their original settlements and moved en masse to the north.

All kinds of propaganda slogans are plastered all over the streets.

"Stay, all that awaits you is poverty and hunger. Leave and embark on the path of happiness and brightness from now on. ”

"A man moves to live, but a tree moves to die."

"Only by following the great Lord Regent can you be fed and clothed."

"Whether you want fragrant meat steamed buns or bitter and unpalatable wild vegetable dumplings, everything is your own choice."

Thousands of political workers entered the walled cities, putting up slogans and advertising slogans. In this barbaric age, "literacy" is a status symbol, and being able to read sentences and understand their meaning is even more respectable. The preaching from the political workers was simple and thorough, so that people could understand it as soon as they heard it.

"His Royal Highness the Lord Regent has opened up the mountain to the north, and now you can pass it by walking. It was full of fertile black soil, and the grain harvest was at least twice as high as it is now. ”

"Your Highness provides all immigrants with seeds and tools free of charge, as well as a large number of livestock, and as long as they go, they will receive a house and free clothes."

"Your children can go to school for free and read and write."

Many people were tempted, and whether it was forced or induced, the migration plan went smoothly. People dragged their families with them and set out on the long road to the north with a vision of future happiness.

Not everyone will accept the arrangement honestly, and some people who are flexible and have more ideas say they want to stay. They were frightened by the head of the clan family, and they didn't dare to resist openly, but chose a more gentle verbal refusal: "My ancestors have been here for generations, and my roots are here." Please, let me stay! ”

There is certainly no problem with this. When making a plan, Tianhao considered various scenarios that might arise. For these civilians who refuse to relocate, the corresponding policy has been adjusted ———— they can stay, but the food tax collected in the second year must be increased by 15 percent on the existing basis.

The north is a fertile wasteland, and large-scale reclamation takes time, and those who have migrated there can be tax exemptions, but those who remain must pay heavy taxes. The reason is simple: they have access to the migrants' fields, they have access to all the amenities, and since they enjoy the benefits, they have to pay for them.

……

The northern part of the continent, the northern part of the inland lake area, the newly built city, the Vidu.

According to Tianhao's plan, it will become the most important and largest industrialized city in the entire north.

There were still a number of problems with the steam engine, which prevented it from being put into service in the short term. But the barbarians' imprisoned minds have been opened, and their various whimsical ideas have amazed Tianhao. At the current pace, in about ten months, the crude type of steam engine should be ready for practical use.

The reason why Vitu is positioned as an industrial city is because of the abundance of peat and iron ore, as well as oil.

Positioning ahead can solve a lot of trouble, and that's because of a long-term vision for the future. Today, the main function of the city is farming and food processing, with a particular focus on the latter.

With the gradual completion of roads (highways, animal railways) with Black Point City, Liandu, Panshi City, Tianjing City and other places, a large number of materials and equipment have also been transported to Weidu City. With as many as 50,000 production and construction corps working day and night, ore processing and smelting plants have been erected, and huge peat storage warehouses and supporting facilities have also taken shape.

200,000 pigs are scattered to newly built farms around the city. Half of them are piglets, and the feed is mainly corn (cob noodles), with a certain proportion of black beans and fish and shrimp bone meal from the port city of Liandu. This is a by-product of large-scale distant-water fisheries, and every time you catch it, you bring some fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish that are not up to standard. As long as they are dried and crushed, mixed with various auxiliary materials, plus corn and potatoes, it is the "Fat and Beautiful No. 1" that fanged pigs like to eat the most.

This name was chosen by Tianhao, and it is more or less evil. Barbarians don't think too much, especially when most of them are uneducated and illiterate, "fat and beautiful" does meet their appetite for meat and fat, and also their terrible aesthetic of incomparable obsession with fat and fat.

Canning is another important production project in Vito. Thanks to the glass firing recipe that Elizabeth, Stewart and others got back from the south of the continent, a considerable number of glass workshops have appeared in Rock City and Tianjing City. There is no problem with the production of crude glass, the key is to increase production and make it more technically lean. Tianhao has always sought stability rather than speed, and he developed a series of canned foods based on the clay pots familiar to the northern barbarians. Such as braised pork, braised pork, fried fish and so on.

The practice of luncheon meat is much more rude than it was in civilized times. All kinds of leftovers, pig's blood, offal, plus a lot of flour, cornmeal, potatoes, supplemented by various spices, the final product tastes okay, but the taste is slightly worse, looser, not so tight.

This practice of shady merchants has not been condemned in any way.

Niu Lingxiao, who was wearing heavy armor, sat on a stone and looked curiously at the clay shell jar that had been opened in his hand. The pink luncheon meat looks tempting and has a strong aroma that stimulates the olfactory nerves.

The clan was killed, and the entire family was left behind, and no one survived.

No one questioned the Regent's approach. After all, everything is done under the premise of public legality. Speaking of which, this is an internal problem within the Bison Ministry. They elected new chiefs in various cities and villages. It is true that Zongguang is very young, and his face, which has no experience and can even be said to be immature, makes people feel uncertain at first glance. Regardless, he did get the highest number of votes and was elected by a landslide.

With the ascension of the new patriarch, various questions about the clan have also been exposed by the people below.

Since more than twenty years ago, the clan has long concealed the grain tax that should be paid to the city of Black Horn. He deliberately reduced the area of cultivated land on paper, fabricated all kinds of lies to claim that the territory was affected by disasters and asked for grain tax relief, and also used the ministers around the former king to buy off the old grain of the next year instead of new grain.

The clan had more than thirty wives. The youngest of them was only 11 years old. The phrase "people are not old at heart" is apt for him, and he has an amazing talent for special male abilities...... If it's just majestic, but this old guy is in a tyrannical mood, and while the body secretes a lot of hormones and is deeply stimulated, he can't help but burst out and kill. Slashing, choking, stabbing with daggers, grabbing hair and smashing against walls...... In short, he had to find pleasure in blood and screams, and because of this, he frequently replaced the women around him.

Secretly mingling with white Southerners. The charge stems from the accusations of the new patriarch Zongguang. He brought two white men, in front of all the residents of Bison City, the white-skinned dwarf spoke the barbarian language that was not so proficient, and shook out a lot of secrets about the clan———— he had secret contact with the southern countries more than ten years ago, and also sold the population at a high price, betrayed the metal forging technology of the cattle tribe, and agreed with the Plantagenet Kingdom to open the lock dragon pass, let the kingdom's coalition army enter the customs and other despicable and shameless dirty deeds.

Niu Lingxiao was not at all surprised by the death of the sect.

To put it nicely: a person who dares to stand firm, to reason with facts, and to fight for benefits from the regent in a proper way...... All sacrificed.

It's not nice to say: those who face the hard work of Tianhao will not end well.

This guy is very politically flexible, and what is even more terrifying is that he has an extremely powerful army. With the victory of foreign wars again and again, the small rock village has also become a rock city, and the insignificant leader of the village has now grown into a regent who controls the huge dragon clan.

Every time he thought of this, Niu Lingxiao felt his scalp tingle, and his heart was full of fear.

After Niu Yanfang's death, although his hatred and disgust for Tianhao could not be said to have disappeared, it was like some complete object being completely shattered. What remains in the depths of memory today are only a few and incomplete fragments.

Tianhao was like a huge mountain, pressing on Niu Lingxiao's body, making him breathless, and even more desperate that he might suffocate at any time.

According to the orders of the young regent, the Fierce Bull and the Wild Bull were to be sent to the newly built city of Vidu for training in turns, with troops in force.

Niu Lingxiao arrived in Weidu with 10,000 elite fierce bull warriors. It was here that he met Yuan Meng's son. Except for the wry smile and helplessness, there was no superfluous expression on the faces of the two.

Niu Lingxiao knew that doing so would cause the Fierce Ox Department to completely disintegrate and continue to divide. But he couldn't do anything. The example of the suzerain's domain is in front of him, and his body is still hanging in the Bison City Square. The clan and his family had been running the Bison Department for more than sixty years, and their control over both the army and the local walled city had reached its limit. But even so, it still fell apart in less than half a month. In the midst of the overwhelming revolt from the lower ranks, they were ruthlessly discarded like garbage.

A great sense of fear enveloped Niu Lingxiao. He placed all his chips in his hand like a shrewd old lady, counted every copper plate with his fingers, and finally found that his opponent was too strong, even better than ants and elephants, and now he had risen to the point of a super dragon that could breathe fire with his mouth and nose, and could wreak havoc on the entire ant's nest with a single fart.

Nima ...... No wonder he wanted to change the name of the clan, and the Niu clan became the dragon clan.

This is the first time Niu Lingxiao has eaten luncheon meat.

Even though the raw materials are coarser and cheaper, he still thinks the taste is good and the taste is excellent.

It's lunchtime, and 10,000 soldiers from the Fierce Bull Department are lining up in front of each catering point to receive their share of food.

Two generous heterozygous dough cakes. It's two fingers thick, almost the size of a human face. The cake is soft and has a noticeable heat in your hand. This indicates that they have not been cooked for long, are soft, and are comfortable to eat in the mouth.

Heterozygous surfaces are broadly defined and include grass seeds, sun-dried wild vegetable roots, tree bark, wood chips, ...... In short, as long as you can eat something that is not dead and can barely fill your stomach, it can be ground into flour and mixed with coarse wheat noodles, and the proportion of adulteration is quite large.

Niu Lingxiao chewed the cake while carefully observing the gap in the bread that had just been bitten open by himself. This dough has a great taste, and although it has a lot of cornmeal and potato flour added, it tastes far better than those "heterozygous pastries" made with all kinds of weird ingredients. Especially if you look at the soldiers below who are eating happily, you can see that they are very satisfied with this generous lunch.

The other thing is called "canned luncheon meat".

There is no doubt that this is meat. But even with Niu Lingxiao's knowledge and understanding, he still can't tell what kind of meat this is, let alone guess the specific method. He was shocked by the great strength of Tianhao and the territories under his control, one jar per person, including himself! This is only the first day that we have not yet entered the training stage, and we have just gotten the new equipment to familiarize ourselves with all morning. I heard from the logistics officer in the city of Weidu that after the formal training began, the daily physical consumption was very large, and the military food supply standard at that time was several grades higher than this.

For the first time in his life, Niu Lingxiao had a strong kneeling mentality.
