Chapter 388: A Tale of Two Small Countries
Xiaoqingguo and Xiaosaiguo, recognized as justified by the public, and broken as reasonable, just don't give in to each other, and the result is a mess, and each other's people shed blood and tears and grief in the war, which is embarrassing.
An unjust war is the destruction of the human soul, bringing only endless calamity and destruction, and is the common enemy of all people with a conscience. ----- blood poured into it
The strength of Xiaoqingguo is too weak, mainly because the population is too small.
In fact, I think that at the beginning, about a hundred years ago, the population of Xiaoqingguo was not inferior to that of Xiaosaiguo.
It was only later that the loyal son of Xiaosaiguo used economic strategies to force the domestic prices of Xiaoqingguo to skyrocket, so it was already quite difficult for people to raise children.
At this time, the prime minister of Xiaosai took the lead and issued an initiative with the other two countries, saying that it was between Xiaosai and Xiaoqing and Dasha, because the three countries live together in this place, this place is limited, and the resources are also limited, and he proposed that the reason why the three countries have a war is actually because the population is too large, resulting in insufficient resources, which fundamentally induces the war between the three countries.
Wouldn't it be nice for him to sit down and sign an agreement to limit the number of children born in their own countries, so that the three countries can enjoy peace forever.
In fact, this Guan Zhongzi is a very cunning person, because he has a fancy to the Three Kingdoms, in fact, the strongest fertility is Xiaoqingguo.
Because of the pale yellow skin of the people of Xiaoqingguo, the hard-working and hard-working character, especially the handsome guys and beauties everywhere, their fertility is very high, which is beyond the reach of other two countries.
If this continues, sooner or later, the other two countries will all belong to Xiaoqingguo.
After all, as long as there are people, there are destined to be rivers and lakes.
The more people there are, the bigger the rivers and lakes, and the more land is actually used or occupied in various ways, whether it is migrating from Xiaoqing to other two countries, directly using wars to occupy land, or smuggling, and so on.
But compared with the other two countries, Xiaoqingguo has a characteristic, the monarch of Xiaoqingguo, Yao Gai, and Prime Minister Sheng Haizi are very afraid of things.
Generally, as long as Xiaoqingguo formulates any system, it will resolutely let its subordinates implement it no matter what, and there is no matter how many decades or hundreds of years or anything that directly threatens its rule, and it does not want to change the existing mechanism.
In fact, Dasha had already negotiated privately with the high-level leaders of the small Saiguo, so he understood the intentions of the small Saiguo.
Sure enough, less than a year after the agreement between the three countries, the small Sai country announced the abolition of the birth restriction order on the grounds of the poor population decline in the country, and introduced a mechanism to encourage childbirth, and anyone who gave birth to a child could be rewarded with a reward of more than one month, while those who did not give birth to children needed to be fined.
Dasha reluctantly supported it for a year and a half, announcing the complete withdrawal of this birth restriction order, and also issued an announcement to reward childbirth, and those who have given birth to more than eight children can also be selected as "heroic mothers" and other honorary titles and provide generous bonuses.
On the contrary, the original fertility capacity of Xiaoqingguo was the first in the three countries, but since the strict implementation of this restriction order, since then, the young people of Xiaoqingguo no longer want to have more children, and it is very troublesome to even give birth to one.
Because there are too few babies born, there is a lack of demand stimulation in all walks of life, the economy is weak for a long time, and the social contradictions are more complicated.
Not only that, but the population of Xiaoqingguo began to gradually become dominated by the elderly, and it was difficult to recruit soldiers
As the population decreases, there will naturally be fewer top talents, because all kinds of talents can be produced almost proportionally, and the larger the population base, the better the talents.
At this time, Xiao Saiguo thinks that the time has come!
So Xiao Saiguo sent people to the border of Xiaoqingguo to stir up trouble.
Sure enough, not long after, the war between the two countries began, and the Dasha Empire just stood aside and watched the excitement.
Xiaoqingguo has too few births, so it is almost impossible to recruit soldiers, so it is not allowed, and even some old people in their seventies and eighties carry bows and arrows to the battlefield and make meritorious contributions to the country.
The battlefield is extremely brutal, and the surrounding countries are watching the excitement.
"Guess what's going to happen in the end?"
Coldly, Runzhi suddenly stopped talking about the story all the time, and then asked the old patriarch like this.
"Presumably, Xiaoqingguo was defeated, and then that disputed land was snatched away by Xiaosaiguo, right?"
"Not exactly"
"It's much more fun than that!"
"Oh, how's that? I hope you will make it clear! ”
The bright sun shines charmingly on the earth, leaving a golden yellow on the earth.
The countless peony flowers are in full bloom, and it turns out that in the south, this peony flower can also bloom very beautifully.
In addition to the peony flowers, there are also moon seasons, violets, lilacs, roses, lilies, etc., all blooming brilliantly, as if to show people the most beautiful side of this spring, which is indeed dazzling.
"Actually, in the end, the two countries exchanged 10,000 women for each other! It is the soldiers on both sides who specifically single out those who are unmarried and proficient in a language commonly known as Shayu, which is the common language of the Three Kingdoms, and generally in the army, at least half of the soldiers can speak Shayu, but they are not usually used much. At the same time, the Great Desert Kingdom and the two empires also exchanged 10,000 women, and all of them chose 10,000 of the unmarried enemy soldiers as their husbands through a two-way choice, so that the three countries had at least two hundred years of peace and prosperity."
Runzhi continued:
"In fact, in the final analysis, the statement of the big country is very crucial, it turns out that at this moment, because the big country has long favored sons over women, people are used to drowning the girls who are born, just to keep the men, so the ratio of men and women in the big country is out of balance. Dasha urgently needs a large number of young and beautiful women to come and become the daughters-in-law of the vast number of singles in Dasha country, so Dasha country has thought of such a wonderful plan. Of course, this also has something to do with the Great Sand Country and geography, because once the Great Sand Country does not intervene, then once the Small Sai Country annexes the Little Green Country, then its population and land can compete with the Great Sand Empire. This is something that the Dasha Empire will never allow."
When the old patriarch heard this, he said:
In this way, it turns out that intermarriage is an important way to solve the conflicts between ethnic groups, and it turns out that many behaviors between humans and apes in the animal kingdom are actually the same. I remember that in the deep mountains of our Wanjiatun, there is a group of white gibbons, these apes are divided into different tribes, once there is a dispute between different tribes because of territory, or in order to avoid the appearance of a group frame caused by land competition, these apes have a rule, that is, whenever there is a conflict, some females in the race will be exchanged with each other, and then directly on the spot to match between male and female, other apes are watching from the sidelines, eager to try, The territorial disputes between the races between such different ape tribes were thus well resolved."
Li Xianling listened, so he said:
"Actually, humans probably changed from apes, and we all know that apes have arms and two feet, and can also use two feet to walk, and even have many similarities with us in terms of male and female matching. In fact, in many cases, we can increase our observation of the behavior of these animals, so as to reveal the nature of our own existence and many bizarre and strange phenomena! ”
The old patriarch glanced at Li Xianling, and then said:
"Then I'll hand over these two pairs of dog men and women to the adults, and ask the adults to send them down! It's just that in the past year, our village has been hit by many flash floods, resulting in at least a dozen deaths in the flash floods, these flash floods are very terrible, often with mudslides, just like that, flying sand and stones, I don't know when they appear behind several families, and then at a certain moment, remember that those families are all buried under dozens of meters of mud and sand, and even the bodies can not be found."
The old patriarch seemed very sad, and only listened to him continue:
"These mudslides have become the biggest natural disaster in our village, and our rice fields here are all small patches of farmland hidden deep in the mountains and old forests. It is really a pity for many of our farmers to abandon the tasteless food, and often people work hard all year round, and the food they get is only enough to barely meet the small food needs of their families. At present, because of the ravages of the mudslide disaster, the cultivated land in the village is at least six tenths of the deterioration, and we would like to ask the adults to be kind and give our village all or part of the tax reduction and exemption this year, as long as it can be reduced slightly, we are already very grateful! ”
Li Xianling listened, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said:
"Although there is a lack of formal prefectural ordinances in this county for the time being, the state government has asked me to temporarily serve as the prefectural magistrate of this county, which is the reason for accepting your two pairs of dog men and women. It's just that this tax is also a very sensitive place, after all, the collection of this painting is not up to me, a small Jiupin sesame petty official. If you want to reduce your taxes, why don't you talk to our governor, or maybe your lord agrees to you."
Li Xianling smiled at Runzhi.
This old slippery head actually dared to shirk his own affairs to the higher-level officials, if this is the kind of governor who is very high-level, it is estimated that the black gauze hat of the county order on the spot will fall to the ground.
Runzhi smiled and naturally understood Li County's intentions.
"Your situation, we will continue to let people investigate, but don't worry, if what you say is indeed true, our court will definitely not sit idly by. If you are given a reduction, we will give you a reduction without hesitation in accordance with the laws of the Qing Dynasty, you just have to rest assured, in fact, at any time, our court will consider it for you. So you don't have to worry about anything, just do your current thing, and leave the rest to us."
This word sounded very official, so that it was obviously very familiar, but in fact, for the old patriarch, he was naturally very much looking forward to this reduction.
Originally, this old patriarch had a very good heart when he was young, and he saw that the next village, that is, Lin Jiayuan, had been hit by the flood, which caused many rice fields to be harvested, so he did not hesitate to exempt the next village from borrowing hundreds of loads of rice from his own village.
At that time, this old patriarch was just a deputy patriarch, and when he heard that his patriarch actually exempted dozens of loads of millet from Lin Jiayuan next door, people naturally agreed, after all, many men in this village obtained wives, and they were all married from the village next door.
In fact, in this world, as long as the family affairs are settled and the crystallization of the common family is born, even if it is a hostile enemy, it will be resolved because of this.
Runzhi said this, and after leaving the village with Li Xianling, he took these two pairs of dog men and women to the yamen.
The sun is sunny and the wind is beautiful.
It was a particularly good day, with the sun shining on everything and the temperature being exceptionally cool and comfortable, which was a very good time for a spring outing.
Runzhi is on top of this crystal building, propped up on a crystal railing, looking into the distance, the lofty mountains, only to see the mountain peaks one after another, but it is also endless.
But the faint clouds in the sky are so noble and beautiful, they float quietly in the sky, floating in the heart are incomparably elegant, and the kinetic energy is so provocative that the nerves in people's hearts.
The wind was blowing quietly, and suddenly a thunderclap sounded in the clear sky, so I didn't want to be shocked, so Runzhi said:
In fact, only many scenes in the Olympic book describe a very profound law of all things, for this two-digit author Pi Jesus, it seems that everything has its own reason, this ten thousand pairs of I have his own reason, that is, these many mistakes, in fact, he is in well, the operation of its own objective law is running towards its own unique track, everything has its own track, once the deviation of the track will inevitably fail, That is to say, many of the things pointed out by Jesus in the Olympic book are actually a reaction to this objective thing, they are only a kind of law, but this law is sometimes blind, and some of them are really the labor experience summed up by some working people.
