Chapter 2 Guanyin Bodhisattva is here (asking for a monthly pass)
Pingdao Country, this is the name of the country composed of one word each of apple and rice by Huang Shang who is lazy.
It has been five years since the establishment of the Pingdao Kingdom, and although the time is very short, it has been famous in the South Ganbu Continent and the West Niuhe Continent.
Having enough to eat is always the biggest need of the common people, and the annual output of rice in the country of Pingdao is more than 100 million catties, enough to feed more than 100,000 people, and the yield of apples is also terrifying.
It's not that there are no bandits or countries who want to destroy the country of Pingdao and replace it, but although the country of Pingdao has a population of only a few thousand, the king is a cultivator, and in the past five years, more than a dozen gangs of thieves have come to rob, but none of them have returned alive, and all of them have become the food of wild animals.
There were also two countries that sent tens of thousands of troops to attack the Pingdao Kingdom, but as a result, countless sword qi shot these invaders into a sieve, and tens of thousands of corpses were buried in the ground by the sudden 'Earth Dragon Turnover', and the corpses could not be found.
After a series of lessons, the countries and bandits within a radius of hundreds of miles knew that the Pingdao country could not be provoked, otherwise the end would be miserable.
In recent years, the surrounding environment of Pingdao Country has been very peaceful, which has attracted countless poor people who have suffered from war to come to Pingdao Country to settle down.
Instead of driving them away, the king of Pingdao conjured up countless semi-circular stone houses in the area, inhabited them, and carried out household registration control, and then distributed the fields, making them real citizens of Pingdao.
However, instead of apple trees and rice, the people of the country were given the land, and instead of apple trees and rice, the king gave them seeds such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans, peanuts, tomatoes, cucumbers, and Chinese cabbage.
Although the yield of these seeds is not as high as that of rice and apples, the yield is still terrifying, and the first year's harvest allows them to live without worrying about not having enough to eat.
Because the policy of the Pingdao country is so good, it has formed a siphon effect, which almost sucks the poor people within a radius of hundreds of miles, which also leads to the country's land is not enough, and it can only expand outward.
"What a nuisance!"
The expansion of land will definitely be accompanied by war, although Huang Shang is not afraid of war, but he is always facing the harassment of neighboring countries, and he can't help but be a little bored, "I obviously came to farm, why did I do this kind of thing again?" ”
In desperation, Huang Shang began to build the city.
Temporarily arrange for those displaced people who have come from afar with their families to remote areas, and then pay adult men to build the city according to the urban construction plan, and at the same time hire women to boil water and cook for the men on the construction site.
As for the elderly and children...... There are almost no old people.
In this kind of border begging for a living, and in ancient times, very few people can live past 40 years old, in this era, at the age of 35, they dare to call themselves old husbands or old decay, and they can live past 60 years old in the common people, unless they live in the deep mountains and old forests, there is no war, they plant their own land every day, bask in the sun, and drink clean mountain spring water, which is possible to live a long and healthy life.
But the border area where Huang Shang is located must not meet this condition, so hundreds of thousands of displaced people came, but no more than ten were over 50 years old, and there were many children, and when the adults went out to work to support the family, the teenage children would help take care of the younger brothers and sisters.
Those half-grown children and half-grown girls who have reached the age of 12 are considered adult laborers, either working to earn money, or cultivating wasteland, and they must not be able to eat idle meals at home.
But compared to the place where they lived before, they are already considered lucky, at least now they can earn money by working, and with money, they can buy food to eat, buy cloth and clothes to wear, plus the houses and land distributed by the king of Pingdao, they at least have hope of living.
The greatest wish of the people at the bottom in ancient times was to be fed and clothed, which other countries could not give, but Huang Shang could give.
Almost all homeless people are content, but there are always some second-rate people who go around stealing chickens and dogs under the idea of getting something for nothing. In the face of this situation, the local bean soldiers who are responsible for maintaining law and order are not used to it at all, and they are directly arrested and sent to repair bridges and pave roads, clean up river pollution, and do whatever they are tired of.
Huang Shang has already given them a chance to be a person again, since they don't cherish it, then don't be a person. After death, don't think about going to the underworld to be reincarnated, Huang Shang directly threw their souls into the bodies of sows, cows, ewes, hens, ducks, and geese, and let them go through the pain of slaughter for ten lifetimes, so that they would be spared.
Let you not learn well!
Under Huang Shang's iron-blooded methods, the second-rate son quickly disappeared, and the entire Pingdao country became the fairest country to survive, as long as you are willing to work, you can eat enough, and eat as much as you pay, which has become the consensus of all the people, and the sense of belonging to the Pingdao country is becoming stronger and stronger.
Thanks to the hard work of a large number of migrant workers, as well as the efforts of Huang Shang, who actually contributed the most, Ping Daoguo built three sections of the inner city, the middle city and the outer city in just 30 years.
The inner city is where the king and queen live, which is equivalent to the royal palace; Midtown is a place for officials and wealthy people to live, no house is allocated, officials can live temporarily, rich businessmen can spend money to buy, of course, they can hire families and maids to live together, and some merchants can also come to Midtown to sell goods; The largest outer city is where the common people live, and this city wall is surrounded by the borders of the Pingdao country.
Huang Shang also announced to the world through the outermost city wall that this is the border of the Pingdao Kingdom, and the people in the city are all the people of the Pingdao Kingdom, and the outside of the city wall is not under the jurisdiction of the Pingdao Kingdom.
However, Huang Shang also publicized a government decree, which can also be said to be a military order, that within ten kilometers of the border of Pingdao, no large-scale smashing, looting or war is allowed, otherwise Pingdao will send troops to deal with these violent gangs in order to maintain the peaceful development of Pingdao at home and abroad.
To be honest, this is quite excessive, because the outermost city wall of the Pingdao country has encircled the territory of more than 100,000 square kilometers for the Pingdao country, which is about the same size as a modern province, and has absorbed more than three million displaced people in the past 30 years, completely squeezing the development and living space of the surrounding countries. It's also too bullying.
But there is no way, the king of Pingdao Country can spell, and no one can stop it.
And after more than 30 years of infrastructure construction and recuperation, now the number of citizens in the city of Pingdao is more than 9 million, which is of course incomparable to the nearly 100 million population of the Great Song Dynasty, but in this border place where the two continents meet, it has become a real superpower.
A few years ago, some monsters who fed on people ran to the Pingdao country and took the people of the Pingdao country as their food source, but as soon as they ate a person, they were beheaded by a flying sword, and their souls were even beaten into the pig's womb, and they were cursed by Huang Shang to become human food for 10,000 lifetimes before they could report to the underworld.
Anyway, this monster is miserable.
Later, some man-eating monsters came one after another, but they were all cut off by Huang Shang with a sword, and their souls were beaten into the bodies of poultry and animals, and they could only become human meat in the next ten thousand lives.
Under Huang Shang's deliberate publicity, this news shocked the monsters within a radius of hundreds of miles, and since then, they have not dared to fight the idea of Ping Dao Country.
Of course, there are also those who do not believe in evil, and they have run to the country of Pingdao to eat people, and then ...... No then.
Huang Shang won another layer of protective umbrella for the people of Pingdao Country.
However, many youkai are not angry, because the youkai who don't eat people can coexist peacefully with the human race after arriving in the country of Pingdao, and if you want to, you can also apply for a national certificate of the country of Pingdao and become a glorious citizen of the country of Pingdao.
Over the past few decades, the population of Pingdao has been more than 9 million, and there are more than 100,000 demons. Those who have the ability to do business can also sell coolies and earn enough money to live.
For peace-loving youkai, such a life is simply not too good.
In this world where life is worthless and almost in the law of the semi-jungle, the country of Pingdao is simply a miracle of the world, and even the gods and Buddhas in the sky have begun to pay attention to the development of the country of Pingdao, especially the Buddhism in Xiniuhezhou, which is full of demons.
Ling Mountain, Da Lei Yin Temple.
The Buddha asked Guanyin Bodhisattva, "What about the country of rice?" ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at his nose and nose and heart, and said softly: "The rule of the human emperor." ”
The Buddha nodded: "I don't want such a person to appear in the world, but this person's origin is a mystery, I don't know if it's a curse or a blessing?" ”
"This is also a question from the disciple." Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "It is obviously a human race, but after marrying a demon, the city is also a human race and a demon race, but they can live in harmony, which is incredible." ”
The Buddha said: "Heaven and earth are inherently diverse, not absolutely opposite, as long as they are properly educated, they can live in harmony." ”
"Disciples are taught."
I don't know what I think when I say that.
"The reincarnation of the golden cicada is imminent, why don't you go to the Pingdao country to investigate and see if it can be used by my Shamen?" As the Buddha said.
"The disciple obeys."
……
On the same day, Guanyin Bodhisattva turned into a young and beautiful woman and entered the foreign city of Pingdao.
After observing the outer city for more than ten days, I saw that although the people here were not rich, they were well fed and clothed, and there was light in their eyes, which showed that they were truly full of hope for the future.
And in the past ten days, I haven't met half of the city fox club rats, which is incredible. And with her beauty, although she has attracted the attention of countless people, no one has come forward to harass her, which is even more unbelievable.
Could it be that all the men in Pingdao are vegetarians?
Kannon had serious doubts about her charm, but after entering Midtown, she finally met many young people who tried to pursue her.
Guanyin breathed a sigh of relief, at least making sure that there was nothing wrong with her charm.
But how to say it? Although these young men were pursuing her, there was no coercion.
Obviously, looking at the clothes they are wearing, all kinds of silk and satin, they look like the children of rich families, but how can such a family have a few gentlemen! But she wandered around Midtown for more than ten days, and these young men were actually upright gentlemen, and they didn't use any means against her.
Are the children of rich families so polite now?
