Yuan Meng sighed: "I'm tired, this kind of thing is no longer suitable for fighting for power and profit, he can do whatever he wants." As long as Ah Hao keeps his promise and feeds the common people, I will not object to his ascension to the throne as king. ”

Zongyu nodded in agreement: "Of course not yet, that will be five years away." ”

Yuan Meng smiled: "Five years are very fast, and they have passed in the blink of an eye." ”

On the snow, two lines of blurred footprints were left behind.

……

Following.

The main hall of the palace of the city of Black Horn was open, and the forbidden army with weapons in hand stood neatly along both sides of the stairs, and the attendants in uniforms were on duty inside the main hall, and dozens of commanders and auxiliary ministers lined up in two lines in the hall. At the top of the main hall, where everyone's eyes were gathered, about ten meters away from the throne symbolizing the supreme power, there were four chairs, Tianhao, Yuan Meng, Zongyu, and Ling Xiao sitting upright in order.

Today is a very important day, and a new ruler of the race will be elected from among them.

Cumbersome etiquette is annoying, but essential for specific occasions. The celebrant in his seventies is so old that he can barely walk, but he can skillfully recite the "Book of Ascension" with more than 8,000 words and the "Law of the Ox Clan" with more than 30,000 words. The degree of scrutiny with which he was unbearable was unbearable, but he had to maintain a proper posture and listen patiently to the foam at his mouth there. All morning, time passed in drowsy numbness and sleepiness, until the old celebrant finished pronouncing the last word in a subdued tone, and the people in the temple finally woke up from a nightmare, the god of spring drove away the evil spirits of winter, and saw the beautiful world again before their eyes.

Voting is simple and doesn't last long. When the celebrant pronounced the name "Niu Tianhao", Yuan Meng, Zongyu and Niu Lingxiao all raised their right hands in unison, deciding that he would be the supreme leader of the clan.

Yuan Meng glanced at Niu Lingxiao meaningfully.

Zongyu didn't even bother to turn his head, squinted at him, and let out a silent cold snort from his nostrils.

kept clamoring to get rid of Tianhao and choose someone else's king of fierce bulls, it turned out to be such a two-faced guy. Although he had expected that he would stab him in the back, he didn't expect Niu Lingxiao to do it so directly and so obviously.

Under the steps, Yun Kai stood with Guohao and Feiyun. Looking at Tian Hao, who was walking up to the high platform accompanied by the celebrant and preparing to complete the promotion ceremony, he approached Guohao, his voice was very low, and he said with a smile: "This is the regent in my mind." ”

Guohao, who had a hard facial line, bowed slightly: "Many of his practices coincide with me, we can't always stick to the territory, we have to fight out, fight to the south." ”

Feiyun comprehended, whispered, half-jokingly echoed: "You're right, we want to take over the world." ”

Yun Kai pretended to be fierce, he grinned, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth: "I've always wanted to taste the taste of a white child. ”

Guohao glanced at him and frowned slightly: "You are too savage." ”

Yun Kai smiled: "There are many novel things in this world, and you have to try them to know whether they are good or bad." ”

Feiyun smiled narrowly: "You might as well get a few white-skinned women to come back and sleep with you, and teach them a lesson from body to soul." ”

"That's a good idea." Yun Kai nodded seriously: "I plan to raise a few more black howling wolves, just like the practice of the Thunder Cow Department, and when I get up the next morning, I will throw the white-skinned girl out to feed the wolf, and I will have a good time and leave no trouble." ”

Directly in front of the main hall, Tianhao has already boarded the platform.

The ascension ceremony is as simple as holding the silver auxiliary staff, a symbol of power, in your hand with the help of the celebrant officer. Strictly speaking, this is a magnified silver horn, the style is the same as the scepter held by the bull king, but there is no inscription on the surface of the staff, and the material is also different.

Standing on the stage, Tianhao scanned the audience with a calm gaze.

"Today is a special day. Here I stand, elected regent. Some might say it's because of the favor of the god of luck, after all, I was once a village leader of less than 300 people. City lords, lords, patriarchs, until now, there are too many people who have worked hard for it, my friends, my brothers, my mentors...... Some are alive, some are gone, but their names will be engraved in stone forever and will be passed down forever. ”

"Whoever you are, you want to be a strong person. This is actually not as difficult as imagined, as long as the food is good, eat a lot, strengthen exercise, be brave and not afraid of death, and have a big enough fist. ”

This sparked laughter among the listeners.

Tianhao waited patiently for them to laugh and continued: "A person only represents individual strength, and the combination of men and women is a family. When there are more people, they gather into a village, and then the city, and then the ethnic group. Only by feeding every member of the clan and making them strong can such an army have combat effectiveness, and only when it fights can it win without losing. That's what I mean by "powerful". ”

Yun Kai said in a low voice: "What he said is really good. ”

Guohao nodded: "I like this guy, he has more appetite for me than the first king." ”

Feiyun lowered his voice and interjected, "We didn't choose the wrong person. ”

On stage, Tianhao's voice became louder: "I don't have royal blood, and I'm not even a nobleman who fits the real definition." But it doesn't matter, I proved everything with my own efforts. The step by step from Panshi Village to the present is the best evidence. The Thunder Cow Department now has a population of over two million, and it took me less than a decade to do so. Every war I led never failed, I wiped out the pig tribe, the deer tribe was compressed in the southernmost corner of the territory to survive, I captured as many as hundreds of thousands of tiger people, the cattle tribe has since got war horses, we don't have to look at anyone's face, form our own cavalry, do what we want. ”

Yun Kai's heart rippled when he said this, after all, he was the commander of the forbidden army, and he couldn't help but ask loudly: "Your Highness, when do you plan to take us to teach the Tiger Clan a hard lesson?" ”

The question was bold, direct enough, and in full view. Everyone's attention was instantly attracted, and a pair of eyes focused on Yun Kai.

"Won't keep you waiting too long." A smile appeared on Tianhao's rugged face: "Niu Yanfang colluded with the Tiger Clan to kill the Great Teacher, and this account will have to be settled with them sooner or later." Train your Forbidden Army well, I can tell you something first———— Forbidden Army will soon be reorganized and sent to Rock City for training. ”

Yun Kai's thinking was very lively, he immediately thought of other aspects, and asked excitedly: "Your Highness, are you going to change our clothes?" ”

"That's right!" Tianhao gave him an encouraging look: "Train your soldiers well, there is sulfur and gunpowder." When the time comes, let the Tiger people taste the taste of bullets. ”

Guohao and Feiyun were also said to be excited. They clenched their fists, their eyes full of joy.

"Next, I want to talk about food." Tianhao looked away from the commanders and shifted his gaze to the auxiliary ministers. These people are actually high-ranking civil officials in Blackhorn City, in charge of various departments of the clan: "This year's harvest season is over, so let's not talk about the past. Starting next year, all branches of the entire Niu tribe, regardless of whether they are cities or villages, must maintain the amount of grain tax paid by the local government at 30 percent, and must not increase it for any reason. ”

The Vice-Chancellor and the Patriarch looked at each other and did not disagree.

Tianhao looked at everything in his eyes and was noncommittal.

It doesn't matter whether the other party understands it or not, as long as you say it. As for the future......

He smiled.

"I am the regent Niu Tianhao, and I will lead the Niu clan to strength. I need your help and I need you to witness every great moment. I promise that in the not-too-distant future, my people will never feel hungry again, and they will never fear the cold again. The cattle will become synonymous with "happiness" and "strength". ”

He doesn't like to go on at length at such times, just point to it.

Hard work is always more important than mouth cannons.

……

In the evening, Tianhao walked out of the palace and walked through the square accompanied by the guards.

Niu Yanfang and Niu Zhenfeng are still locked on the execution table. The two were scarred all over their bodies, and a quarter of their bodies had disappeared. Their hair was plucked out one by one, black blood coagulated on the tips of their fingers and toes, and their bodies were covered with a thick layer of hemostatic powder, and the strong smell of choking wafted far away.

They still maintained normal vision, and when they saw Tianhao walking by, the two people who were originally stiff and lifeless suddenly became excited. They shook their bodies desperately, dragging the chains to make a "whoosh" impact, and their mouths, which had long lost their tongues, made "whining" sounds, but they could not break free from the firm restraints.

Tianhao saw the plea in their eyes.

Niu Yanfang and Niu Zhenfeng no longer hope to live, and their only thought now is to die as soon as possible. The most crisp and neat kind, directly decapitated.

With a cold-hearted sneer, Tianhao turned around and walked in the direction of the city gate.

Want to die?

It's not that simple.

It's still early, so let's take it slowly!

……

There is an open space in front of the tomb of the great master, and Tianhao asked the guards to guard it from a distance, and they are not allowed to approach.

He took a food box from the hands of his cronies, slowly walked to the tombstone, sat down, and laid out a few side dishes and a jar of wine.

"I've always wanted to have a drink with you, and now I finally have the chance."

"I have to confess to you, I don't belong to this era, I'm an outsider. But in terms of bloodline, we are all the same race. ”

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to grow Panshizhai into what it is today. There are so many people who have changed their lives because of your wisdom and vision. My role in the middle is insignificant, and without your support, it would have been difficult for me and I would have had to spend more time and effort to get to where I am now. ”

"I know you had your doubts. This is not surprising. It is not normal for a person who is too young and has no family background to turn out and excel in all aspects. I know you know Zhan Jianhua and have made an extremely strong impression on that person. In fact...... I am from the same era as him, and whether you can understand it or not, this is a truth that cannot be changed. ”

"It's funny to say, I can be counted as your ancestor, because you and your people have my blood in them, we have the same genes, the same origins. As I told you before, we are descendants of the dragon. ”

"I wouldn't have dared to say that while you were alive. Now you have gone to another world and become a god. Use your power to protect and watch over this people! You are a great person and the first person I have come to this world to respect. It makes me feel warm, see the sunshine, and continue my unfinished duties in the midst of beauty and happiness. ”

"I will do what I promised you. I will unify the north of the continent and create a new empire with the Ox clan as the core. We're going to have new totems, like the one I showed you, with the horns of the deer, the body of the cockroach, the nose of the pig, the arms of the ox, the claws of the tiger, the mane of the lion, ......"

"In a few days, I will send the heads of Niu Yanfang and Niu Zhenfeng to your tomb and worship them forever."

"Next I'm going to integrate the races. It's inevitable that some people will be killed in the process. The Thunder Bull Division will replace the Black Bull tribe as the core of the group, and the three branches of the Wild Bull, Bison, and Fierce Bull will not move for the time being, and the rest of the small tribes will all be canceled. Whether it is now or in the future, there can only be one king of the Ox Clan. If this is not done, the common people will never be able to live a good life. ”

"Great Teacher, this cup is for you."

"Rest in peace!"

……

According to the latest order issued by the Regent, including active and temporary conscriptions, 40,000 city guards and the forbidden army went to Rock City on the same day, where they were trained for half a year.

The day-to-day defense of Pointe-Noire was taken over by Stormtooth, and his new position was Garrison Commander.

The ration ration for the inhabitants of Pointe-Noire was completely changed. In this cold winter, Tianhao provided 20,000 road construction jobs for the residents of the city. All those who sign up for the road are given the highest food rations, including cured meats, mixed dough, a small amount of wine, and enough potatoes to feed the whole family.

Niu Yanfang did Tianhao a big favor! The charge of "rebellion" spread because of her, including the entire royal system, as well as all the nobles in Black Corner City who opposed him, all of them were included in the list by Tianhao. Depending on the circumstances, some were publicly executed, while others were punished with capital punishment. Through house raids and account counting, Tianhao obtained a large amount of arable land.

The newly formed state farm is based on the city of Pointe-Noire. Tianhao ordered a notice to be posted in the city, and a special person was responsible for preaching: all the confiscated land of the returned ethnic groups was distributed in the form of "renting", and any civilian could apply for it. Thirty per cent of the income from the fields is paid each year, and after five years, the grain tax collected is reduced to twenty per cent, and the land is owned by the tenants.

As soon as the new decree was issued, it immediately caused a huge sensation among the people.

The arable land, which was fertile and had a convenient irrigation system, was the exclusive property of the aristocracy. Excluding normal consumption, 30 percent of the annual grain tax is not much, and as long as you are willing to spend more time and effort on the crops, life will definitely get better and better.
