Chapter 643: The Danger of Expansion
With such a great god in charge, several pioneer-level powerhouses could only shake their heads helplessly and leave. After all, once a conflict breaks out, they simply don't have the courage to face an epic historical figure without the protection of the territorial soldiers. Once the "old" forces really make a move without scruples, they may not be able to do it even if they want to retreat, so that most of the lord pioneers will turn away for the sake of the gentleman not standing under the dangerous wall.
"This month, there are 455 explorers and 27 people on duty, most of whom have received numbered plates and registered contribution points." The woman in charge of statistics is, of course, Mai Linglong, almost everyone in this team has a career to do, and she certainly has nothing to say in the end to set aside for this kind of chores, but don't expect her to have any good temper and good face.
"In terms of income, it is mainly to exchange the materials, equipment, etc. in the hands of some explorers in the form of contribution points in advance, and a total of 12,224 contribution points have been distributed, of which 9,420 points have been used, and there are still 2,804 points in the hands of those outsiders at this time." Mai Linglong flipped through the accounts, it didn't take much brainpower to complete this simple calculation with her current intelligence, but high intelligence couldn't reduce the tediousness of the process, even if there were less than 500 people in the camp now, but the complexity of registering one by one was enough to make her want to vomit blood.
"In terms of expenditure, a total of twenty-seven pieces of blue suits created by Lao Ba have been exchanged, Zhao Fujin has repaired three purple suits, sold two excellent-level purple suits and fifty-five pieces of blue equipment, and Fang Jingshu has sold eleven pieces of jewelry, because the relationship between materials has been sold out for the time being, and the most popular one sold is Grisia's potion, which is currently in a state of frequent out-of-stock, which seriously affects our creditworthiness."
The accumulation of books is the basic situation of the old guy's team this month, and it is difficult to draw any conclusions about gains or losses from the perspective of income and expenditure. Judging from the operation of the territory, the population of the "old" forces has actually increased by two percent in just one month!
That's right, after selling drugs in the last world, Zhao Gao did the act of human trafficking in this world again. In order to avoid suspicion, these jobs were all released by Zhao Gao to those explorers in the form of contribution points, and then without giving a direction, these people automatically targeted the Qiu You clan, the Baidi branch tribe closest to the "old" forces.
Normally, the general captives focus on the young and middle-aged, but the tasks issued by the old guy's team are not picky, as long as the living population is counted, converted into a certain number of contribution points. After these people are caught, they will be thrown in a special concentration point, waiting for the complete brainwashing of this guy.
Since knowing the keyword "chaos", the old guy's team has long begun to make various preparations, among which the topic of how to quickly win people's hearts in the troubled times has at least allowed the old eight to open dozens of research groups with talents from history to psychology in the power of the earth, and finally came to the conclusion that it is "religion".
And among the many religions, the famous Asanism once again stands out. Using the simple theory that the gods divided human beings into several levels after the creation of the world, and the various parts of the gods' bodies became the key theory, some of these captives were successfully divided into four classes: "king", "minister", "people" and "slaves", so as to realize the special ruling system of two sharp ends and thick middle.
In this way, under a larger sense of identity, the original boundary between the Di and the "old" people was gradually blurred, and when the brainwashing was completed, this group of vigorous Di people became part of the old race, or part of the descendants of the gods.
Such a subtle assimilation did not attract much attention at first, small-scale wars between the grassland barbarians and the loss of population were the norm, until one or two small tribes under Qiu You's disappeared intact Qiu You's didn't find out what was wrong, but just when they wanted to wait for them to report, they found that the small tribe that had disappeared appeared in place completely, although it looked no different from the original, but where did you expect that everything from the sac to the skin had been changed?
With the model of the first tribe, the second is naturally much easier. As the number of outsiders in the camp gradually increased, although the tribe was farther away, it was quietly carried away faster by those explorers. Lao Bayi, who has used the bloodline of the "Golden-winged Dapeng Bird" to transform into a professional god stick, has been reborn and matured, and has used some specific psychology and a mysterious sense of ritual to make these simple Di Min believe in the gods and become the incarnation of the gods on the ground.
"The head of the gods has been transformed into a king, so the king has all the power that the gods have given him to rule."
"The bodies of the gods are incarnated as ministers, and all ministers have the power to actually rule in the world."
"The hands and legs of the gods became the people, and the people were also part of the gods, and they were to provide for the first two kinds of people with their labor."
"The feet of the gods have stepped on the ground and become slaves, although these people are dirty, but as long as they work hard, they can still get reincarnation and good fortune."
"Those dissidents who do not want to believe in the gods are lice on the gods, maggots under their feet, and they will suffer endless suffering in the fire of eternity, and they will be excluded from the normal social system and called 'cheap'!"
These word-of-mouth ideas were deliberately strengthened by the "old" forces, and soon took root in the hearts of these people, and by the time Qiu You really found the difference, the entire tribe was still under his actual control, and there was only one headquarters left.
This is a "cheap" department that the "old" forces have already designated. These guys, who are classified as "sluts", instead enjoy a superior life that should not belong to them, which undoubtedly makes those gods who believe in the gods feel extremely angry.
When Zhao Gao summoned Meng Bushu to command the elite soldiers in the talisman, the old clan miscellaneous army and the Di rebel army as the wings, and those outsiders explorers as the vanguard army to break through the core camp of the Qiu You clan and kill the current elders of the Qiu You clan on the spot, a new Qiu You clan was also reborn in this land.
Di Qing, the leader of Bai Di, who was born as a military general, naturally didn't notice these details, or even if he did, he would only think that it was rebellion and strife within the clan, and under normal circumstances, it would not be his turn to make a move.
Through this method of stealing beams and changing pillars, the Houfei clan and the Gu clan in the four Bai Di clans were also replaced by clansmen who believed in the gods, and Zhao Gao completed the expansion of the old power in another form.
It wasn't until Di Qing personally led the Xianyu Department that this expansion slowly slowed down. For no other reason, the success rate of those explorers who tried to plunder the Xianyu tribe little by little was not high, and they were accidentally taken as prey by the Xianyu clan who were already vigilant. Under such a huge risk, outsiders naturally seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and fewer and fewer people take on tasks.
What's more, under the large amount of consumption in the early stage, even with some of the materials contributed by the explorers as a supplement, the old guy's team began to be overstretched, and the balance of consumption and support was gradually broken.
Expansion inevitably comes with danger, and Zhao Gao is never surprised by this.
