Chapter 253: Ten Years of Development
Sometimes you think that your daughter is too soft-hearted. But in fact, at that time, Ning Ning did not let go of the official who was still unscrupulous until he was arrested, she just didn't punish him with any cruel punishment, and directly asked people to cut off his head.
Although she was angry, she did not want to cut off his head, skin him, or hang him on the wall and die in the sun. Killing people is not a nod to death, unless there are special circumstances, Ning Ning still doesn't want to use such a cruel method.
And this is just a small thing that Ning Ning has encountered in the difficult ten years, and it can no longer be small. There are thousands of people in this world, and each one is different, so naturally we can't expect everyone to have a good character. Ning Ning is not the kind of good person who you hit me in the face, and I also stretched out the other side of my face for you to hit. really angered her, and Ning Ning would also make a thunderous counterattack.
It's just that the people around her have become more and more protective of her over the years, so it's rare that they will directly break into her and want to assassinate themselves.
Ning Ning prefers to focus her energy on the things that need to be dealt with first, such as rehousing the famous famine victims, and how to continue to increase food production. And how do you build an army that is strong enough to protect the people? Of course, there is also how to make the Northern Desert Army have the best supply of military supplies, so that they can train without worries.
Speaking of which, since five years ago, the grassland tribes combined to capture Anshan Pass together, but they were beaten back by the Northern Desert Army, which was rich in food and strong horses, and almost chased them to the depths of the grassland, and the grassland barbarian tribes rarely attacked them again. After all, they just don't have a culture as long as the Great Li Dynasty, but it doesn't mean that they are all fools, why should they kill themselves in the face of an obviously impossible enemy? It's better to fix it up and wait until the perfect time strikes again.
However, it is precisely because they are afraid that the northern territory will develop better and better in the past few years, after all, without external troubles, they can focus on their own development. It's just that Ning Ning has always adhered to the principle of making a fortune in a muffled voice. Therefore, even if today's Northern Xinjiang has long been compared to yesterday, it is still very low-key and low-key, just like Northern Xinjiang is still under the control of the imperial court. But in fact, most of the officials who come to serve in the north today have never returned.
It's not that no one in the DPRK and China has ever doubted the situation in northern Xinjiang, but those high-ranking people are now busy fighting for power and profit, so how can they take care of this small northern Xinjiang. What's more, haven't those so-called steppe barbarians not yet invaded? That means that General Xie has fulfilled his duties well. Why worry so much? Under the coercion of this thought, some people who can rarely see that something is wrong have gradually fallen silent. Of course, this was not the main reason for their silence, which Ning Ning and General Wushan Xie vaguely guessed.
That is, at some point, there was a wave of officials in the DPRK and China who had a good impression of them, because the officials sent to the north in recent years were obviously close to General Xie. Even if they knew that the person in charge of Northern Xinjiang was actually just a stinking little girl, those officials never showed dissatisfaction.
In fact, this is very strange, because General Xie didn't know that any of his friends in the court had such great power to influence the appointment of officials sent by the imperial court to the north.
It's not that they haven't tried to find out who this person is, but unfortunately, after all, their base camp is in the north, and they can't reach it, and in the end, they can't find the people behind them who are silently helping them.
But as long as you are sure that the good and unknown people are on their side, you don't have to be in such a hurry to find the other party.
"I still think that the first to die is always the first bird, so let's develop so quietly, what's wrong? While they are busy fighting for territory, as long as we revitalize this piece of land in northern Xinjiang, it will be enough for us to live for many years. ”
After all, the territory of northern Xinjiang is really big enough, and before that, everyone thought that northern Xinjiang was extremely cold. Therefore, very few people are willing to come and live here, so that the northern frontier is vast and sparsely populated. But over the years, there has been a saying among the common people that if you can't survive, then try to go north, and in the far north there is a benevolent ruler who is willing to shelter all the innocent people who are suffering. It is an ideal township, a legendary Datong society, where as long as you are willing to endure hardships and pay your own labor, you can have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and live in a warm house.
This legend is so beautiful that many people didn't believe it at first, but there are always people who can't survive who are willing to bet their hopes on such an ethereal illusion. When the first batch of victims came to the north to experience the beauty of this place, they couldn't wait to tell their relatives and friends who are still suffering.
Who in this world doesn't have some friends and relatives? So the news spread quietly among the people at the bottom. And the population that Ning Ning had always wanted was gathered like this. After a full decade of recuperation, those who migrated and the people who originally existed in northern Xinjiang ushered in an explosive population growth because they had lived a prosperous life.
After reading the household registration statistics, Ning Ning was finally a little satisfied.
Wu Shan, who looked almost unchanged beside him, looked at Ning Ning's slightly tired appearance, and couldn't help but persuade him.
"Why push yourself so hard? I think that in this world, there is no force comparable to our northern Xinjiang, and no rebel army commander is as powerful as you. As long as we take our time, we can always achieve the effect you want. ”
Ning Ning rubbed her eyebrows, and had to admit that what her grandfather said was right. It's just that the more frequent natural disasters over the years have always cast a shadow on Ning Ning's heart. It is also this ominous premonition that has been urging Ning Ning to keep working hard and work hard.
It is not considered a success until there is really no danger.
"Grandpa, I don't know what's going on, I always feel a little uneasy. It was as if something was going to happen. But I can't say what will happen, just a vague feeling......"
In the end, Ning Ning couldn't help but laugh, what strange thing was she talking about?
But Wu Shan didn't smile, his face was very serious. This was not the first time Ning Ning had mentioned this kind of ominous premonition to him.
The ancestors of their Wu clan were originally great witches, and the ability of great witches is more vividly reflected in the woman, and Ning Ning is also a descendant of their Wu clan.
