My brother is so cunning.
Chapter 146: Planning and strategizing, the victim arrives
The demon production alliance established by Wen Rui and the surrounding human villages and towns are not harmonious at all. The two sides can work together only because they have to submit under the military suppression of the Ultron robots.
Compared with the human race, the demon race is easier to manage. Wen Rui has the biggest fist, and the four demon kings are submissive. If the little demons dare not obey, they will be dragged out and skinned. Might is justice.
The demon race still recognizes this and obeys this kind of management.
The human race is much more difficult to manage, because people have long legs. They can't resist the powerful, but they can vote with their feet and choose to flee to neighboring countries for survival.
Now that the way of heaven is looking after the human race, Wen Rui can't be too harsh on them, such as setting up high walls on the border, managing villages in a concentration camp style, and hanging fugitives on crosses for public display.
Fortunately, the Jinlingzong base has always had excess production capacity. Even for food crops, hydroponic farms adopt full environmental control and grow genetically modified crops. The food produced in a year can feed tens of thousands of people.
As a lord, Wen Rui does not need to collect taxes from the people, and the country can maintain its operation.
This provides conditions for the implementation of tax reduction and subsidy policies, attracting the human race to work together with the demon race, and then arranging a large number of Ultron robots to supervise, directly suppressing the signs of conflicts that may break out between the human and demon races in close contact.
Wen Rui, who once served as the chief engineer of the Shang Dynasty, understands this better than anyone else.
The output of the public land unpaid corvée is planted with the fine varieties developed by the biochemical laboratory, and the soil-tested formula fertilizer is applied. Wen Rui's income from enslaving the human and demon races is still extremely high, and he does not lose money at all.
Especially in the breeding industry, the underground base cannot carry out large-scale breeding, and there are no modern factories in this area. Wen Rui has tried to develop biochemical "artificial meat" cultivation technology, but the meat produced has been tasted by the demon race and the taste is really bad, not as good as the sour and dry human meat.
After conquering the four demon kings, he built a large ranch on the territory of Wolf Two, who was the most loyal to him. He slaughtered hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep every year, which was a production base for the core value of the entire economy.
The livestock produced by the ranch were the hard currency of the demons. Most demons needed to eat meat and drink blood. For this blood food, they could only drink poison to quench their thirst even though they knew that eating humans was the greatest karma.
The ranch could also produce horses, which was the hardest currency among hard currencies in the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the national strength of each vassal state was calculated by chariots, and a chariot required four horses.
Gold and brass could not hit the princes, but when a chariot with good horses was taken out, the princes' eyes glowed red. If this family did not accept it, it would sell it to its enemy. Soon his country was destroyed, and the land was given to Wen Rui to pay for the chariot.
However, Wen Rui did not dare to expand the territory in Nanzhanbuzhou too blatantly. It was fine to occupy a small piece of good land in Qin to grow forage feed. In the future, he still wanted to seize the territory of Quanrong. It happened that the grassland in the territory of Quanrong was vast and the grass and water were lush, which was very suitable for large-scale development of animal husbandry.
…
The underground vehicle did not go directly to the underground high-speed mobile capsule transfer station, but drilled out of the ground in the territory because Wen Rui wanted to inspect his territory by the way.
Compared with the tribesmen controlled by Dingguang Xianzong, the human race in Wen Rui's territory certainly lived much better, but that was the case. Not to mention compared with the new rural areas in modern society, it was not even comparable to the rural living conditions in the 1960s.
According to Lord Wen's precise calculations, even if the tax was exempted, the human race would be out of food for at least one month in the one or two months between winter and spring every year, and they would have a hard time living in hunger.
Although the merciful Lord also prohibited the people from fishing and hunting in the mountains and rivers that belonged to him, he was not so harsh as to punish them if they were caught. He just recorded it and added it to the taxes for the next year.
Even so, many people still fled with their families.
Just because Lord Wen at least left them a way to survive.
Of course, Wen Rui was not greedy for the little money he could squeeze out of these poor people, but he didn't need to be arrogant to the people and raise a group of ungrateful people with his kindness.
This group of illiterate people will live like this in their lives. There is no value in education. They can learn to live with the demons in this life, and then live a life that exceeds the average quality of life of all living beings in the prehistoric world. What else do they need?
Wen Rui led Cheng Ziwei and He Lingyun to the largest market town in the territory.
The development of the fiefdom of Sect Master Wen was not high, and there was not even a city. Originally, the demons were rampant here, and the armies of the princes could not defeat the demons led by the demon king. It was a semi-abandoned territory, and the administrative officials did not dare to leave the town, so how could it develop?
Now that Wen Rui is in charge, the Chamber of Commerce has directly settled in and regarded it as its headquarters. It has carried out large-scale construction in the town and built it into the largest logistics center and cargo distribution center in the northwest of the Central Plains.
The market town is now much more prosperous than before, but the lord prohibits the people from doing business, and the Chamber of Commerce only recruits the survivors of the previous dynasty. Even if they know that doing business is more profitable, the people are not lucky enough to participate.
Wen Rui's destination is the largest courtyard building complex in the market town. It is a school. There is a plaque hanging at the school gate, which reads "Jinling No. 1 Experimental Primary School".
When you enter the courtyard, you can hear the sound of reading. The school building is built with reinforced concrete bricks and stones, which is more exquisite than all the buildings in the town. The classrooms are full of students, which is much larger than the Dandelion Hope Primary School.
The ones who teach the children are the graduates of Dandelion Primary School. Due to the shortage of teaching staff, some teachers are still robot teachers in doll suits.
All the school-age children in the territory are here. First, the lord has issued a strict order that if there are children dropping out of school, the tax will be doubled. Second, the school provides students with three meals a day for free.
After these two decrees were issued, the enrollment rate quickly reached 100%. No matter how stupid the parents were, they would not covet the labor of their children and bear the cost of double taxes.
The meal plan is more attractive. It can save one person's food, which is very important for a family to survive the long early spring.
There are not only human children in the classroom, but also many little monsters. The children of the human and monster tribes study together, but they are not as wary as their parents. Some cute monster cubs have become the group pets of the students and are often held and stroked.
The children are naturally studying the "Jiejiao Education Series".
Cheng Ziwei has never seen so many students gather together to study, and she has a deeper understanding of Jiejiao's emphasis on education and the doctrine of teaching without distinction.
The Chan Sect values aptitude and fate when recruiting disciples, and disdains to teach mediocre people.
Even the more inclusive human sects must select the best for admission, and will not recruit disciples with poor aptitude and comprehension, let alone the demon race.
The Western Sect emphasizes "wisdom" when recruiting disciples. Those who do not meet the comprehension standard are ignorant people. For ignorant people, they only need to believe and cannot get the true teachings.
"For this dish of vinegar, I made a meal of dumplings." Wen Rui couldn't help but sigh: "When this generation grows up and spreads, my Jie Sect will really have a foundation in the human world."
Although Cheng Ziwei still couldn't understand everything she saw in the Jinling territory at the foot of Lishan Mountain, she was shocked and put away the contempt she still had for Master Wen in her heart.
With her little cleverness, she couldn't understand Master Wen's layout at all. She only knew that Jie Sect had such a person secretly planning, and in the near future it would definitely bring a shocking change to the entire human world.
…
After inspecting the Jinling No. 1 Experimental Primary School, the three rushed back to the underground base of the Jinling Sect.
In the office of the president of Sect Master Wen, Wen Rui summoned several non-staff students of the Jinling Sect to introduce Cheng Ziwei, the newly accepted human disciple, to them.
Cheng Ziwei was originally quite nervous about this meeting, but she relaxed immediately when she saw Bing Linglong, Ya Yan Ge, Su Yingluo, and Shui Ning'er, the seniors of the sect.
Appearance is justice. In addition to Shui Ning'er's round and cute appearance, the others are all beautiful demons in the higher stage of transformation. They also exude pure spiritual fluctuations, without any demonic aura.
The Lishan demon cultivators are kind-hearted and have no prejudice or hatred against the human race. Naturally, they accepted this little niece. Cheng Ziwei quickly integrated into it and made friends with Ya Yan Ge and Su Yingluo. The three of them got along very well and talked happily.
The welcome party at the president's office had not yet ended, but was interrupted by Jarvis's reminder: "Sir, Luan Qingyu has visited you many times during your business trip, and now she is banging on the door again, and even tried to burn the door with her own green flame to break in. Please tell me what to do?"
"What is she doing here?" Wen Rui scratched his head and said helplessly: "Let her in."
Not long after, Luan Qingyu broke into the president's office, and as soon as she entered the door, she angrily accused: "Brother, you are partial, you lie, you bully me! In the words of the human race, you have been infatuated with me and then abandoned me!"
When the beauty in the form of Qingluan appeared, Cheng Ziwei was stunned. She thought that the crane fairy was already a unique beauty in the world, but she never thought that the girl in green before her was not inferior, and even had a unique nobleness.
From what the green-clothed girl said, it seemed that she had some emotional entanglement with the slovenly and downtrodden Sect Master Wen. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what happened to these fairies? Their eyes were so big and beautiful, why are they all blind!
Wen Rui was also stunned by the question and said in surprise: "It's as if I did something to you, I don't think I did anything, right?"
