Luo Ming had seen the word "Jingguan" in China before.

It was probably a building made by accumulating corpses and mixing them with soil to boast of their martial prowess and deter the enemy.

Some modern people may feel uncomfortable, but now, Luo Ming is no longer in that ranks.

Respect for the human rights of the enemy is a phenomenon that can only be found in highly developed societies, and the living standards of the people under Luo Ming's rule are already good in this era, but they are still far from the standard of "food and clothing".

To show mercy to the enemy in such a situation is to be cruel to one's own people.

To be more precise, if he didn't use such means to deter potential enemies and make Luo Ming's prestige, his caravan might be attacked in the future.

From this point of view, the safety of the living under one's command should always be respected more than the dead enemy.

Luo Ming first planted a flag of his own beside him, and then asked someone to remove a large wooden board from a carriage and stand next to it.

His fingers lit up with fire, and he wrote a paragraph on the wooden board in a neat lingua franca.

"In the spring of the third year of Meiquan, the Luodu tribe attacked the Meiquan caravan, and the Meiquan army attacked overnight, razed the tribe, executed all the criminals and recalcitrant ones, and piled up their corpses here as a warning. Passers-by, please convey to the Quartet: If people offend me, chickens and dogs will not stay!"

This discourse fully reveals an imperialist style, but imperialism represents the most advanced productive forces and political system of this era, and is a manifestation of progress.

When ordinary people see this wooden stele, they must shudder and have a sense of awe for the word "Meiquan".

Of course, Luo Ming's words are actually a bit of a word game, for example, the army actually arrived two days apart, and for example, there are actually many people in this tribe who survived. But those who survived were dragged back to the territory by Luo Ming to be slaves, and it was impossible for them to appear in the outside world again, so they were blown by him.

Anyway, no one would take this creepy Jingguan apart and check how many corpses were inside—presumably only a rare anomaly like Pelodiana could do that.

Thinking of Pelodiana, Luo Ming glanced at the captives who were being escorted by the army and sneered.

The women of the captives could be rewarded to meritorious soldiers and subjects, and the younger children could be kept in the homes of the Schönbrunn people, who grew up to think of themselves as Schönbrunn people, and lived in a barbarian tribe with the rest of the Schönbrunn people.

As for the young men, unless they try very hard to kneel and lick and show Luo Ming their attitude and worth, most of them will only be used as slaves.

Slaves are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and some are treated similarly to serfs or even tenant farmers, and they can even live without worrying about food and clothing with hard work and some luck.

Some slaves are a little worse, but generally speaking, they can still ensure survival, and at most they will go to some dangerous or hard jobs.

And some slaves belong to the most unlucky category - no, it cannot be said that they are unlucky, it should be said that they are to blame, and Luo Ming will only classify the most rebellious, lazy, treacherous, and escaped slaves into this ranks.

Some of Pelodiana's experiments had to use living people, not even freshly dead corpses.

Last time, she even tried to tempt Luo Ming and provide her with some mountain people for human experiments, pestering him for a long time.

Although Luo Ming was not in a mess, he felt that it was very annoying to go on like this after all. Now that she has these slaves, she should be able to stop for a while.

Of course, human experiments don't necessarily mean killing people, but even if it's experimental hormones, stimulants, hemostats, or cold medicines, Luo Ming doesn't want his people to get involved with them.

After all, immature drugs can cause problems, and Pelodiana is clearly not a good doctor with a conscience who will repeatedly check drugs to make sure they are safe.

It's just that some things have to be done, and in the history of the earth, modern medicine has basically been progressed and developed while fighting against the morals and values of the time.

Of course, this is not to be reduced to the same level as the bloody hands of the evil gods, but some necessary sacrifices have to be paid.

Lormin only wanted to have as many sacrifices as possible for him and his people to reap the benefits, and that those sacrifices would be used as well as possible.

"Luo Ming, is this the only way to do this?" Aya's voice sounded, and for some reason, there was a slight hesitation in it.

Obviously, she has always had the idea of "killing well" against the enemies in front of Luo Ming.

"I'm not a murderer, but sometimes, reality doesn't give me more and better options. ”

Luo Ming was silent for a moment and replied, "Even His Highness the Black Sun doesn't have that ability to save everyone. What I can do is more limited, but only to benefit others at the expense of some, and then to minimize the sacrifice, and to accomplish the primary accumulation of capital quickly, and then to increase as many people as possible to enjoy the well-being.

To put it more bluntly, I give people a better life, just to make them work and die for me. ”

"Actually, you're right, it's that I'm unrealistic, I'm sorry. ”

Very rarely, Aya apologized to Luo Ming. Then, she said categorically: "You have nothing to be ashamed of, even His Highness the Black Sun would definitely say that!"

If none of your deeds can be called noble and holy, then who are the saints of the ages and the present? Is it the turn of those dreamers who speak loudly, feed the people with hope, and repel their enemies with love?"

"No, not one. Luo Ming's slightly heavy heart was dispelled by Aya, he smiled gratefully, and then said loudly in his heart, "One day, everyone will praise me better than all the sages of the ages!"

After the army had walked a few kilometers, Luo Ming turned his head and looked at the Jingguan for the last time, at this time even his eyesight could only see a small dot, but the appearance of the Jingguan itself was still impressive.

He doesn't have nightmares for the dead, after all, the living have been easily killed by him, even if there are ghosts left, will they dare to appear in front of him?

But this incident is still memorable after all—it can be said that this time, Luo Ming's mind has taken a step further towards the model of a qualified king.

"Next time you have time, let's change this wooden sign into a stone tablet. Luo Ming muttered to himself, wrote this down in the memo, and then turned his horse's head and followed the large army on the road home.

If we really build a strong country, then we should open up a patriotic education base here, so that the next generation of Schönbrunn will know that "even if you are far away, you will be punished" and that "if you are backward, you will be mermaids".

No...... You can't say if you can't do it in this matter, but you have to do it. Only by building a strong country can he be worthy of the help of His Highness the Black Sun and Aya, live up to the expectations of Grant and others, and be able to protect himself, his friends, and most of the people who follow him in the catastrophe.
