Chapter 58: Occupying the Basin
With Yang Song's order, the chaos outside the heavenly chasing was completely in trouble.
Before Di Qing asked Yang Song for advice, he led his army to capture Shangdao City, occupied the unguarded castle, and captured seven lords alive in the unbearable hall.
When captured alive, Charlie Quill and Mike Oz took advantage of their drunkenness to resist, but were kicked to the ground by the soldiers of Xia Kingdom.
And most importantly, Lily Bill, as a female lord, can do so chaotic in the presence of her husband, so that the generals and officers of Xia Kingdom are often looked at her. It’s really a person who cannot be looked at her and the sea water cannot be measured!
After Yang Song got the situation after this, he had to sigh, "Your circle is so messy!"
In the past world, he knew about the chaos in his circle from various channels, but never took it seriously. He did not expect that such dirty things would actually happen in this world! This is really a bit ruining the view.
Yang Song asked himself that he was also a monarch after all. Although he had thought about the harem of 3,000 in the past, he realized that this monarch was not so easy to be.
Although power is so great, it does not have to bear anything. For him, power equals responsibility!
Now let alone the harem of 3,000, he didn't have the energy to deal with it even if he took Xiaolan Xiaojuan's two wives, which was a bit guilty for him.
I was afraid that I would not fulfill my husband's responsibilities and would not bring happiness to both of them - this is his sense of responsibility - fortunately, he now has this foundation.
Sometimes Yang Song is thinking about it all by himself. Maybe it is because of this sense of responsibility that the system has chosen him to come to this world!
...
The newly occupied mountains by the Xia Kingdom are called "Linhai Mountain Range" by Yang Song, and the basin is also called "Linhai Basin", while the passes in the mountains are named "Shanhaiguan" by Yang Song!
Originally, the names given by humans in this world would naturally be abandoned. In the future, they would only be called by Yang Song in Xia.
After receiving Yang Song's order, Di Qing immediately dispersed the army. He first accepted the occupation of the other two cities, and then divided it into several categories according to the identity, ability, and gender of the local residents.
Regarding classification, officials in Xia Kingdom are familiar with it, and they are completely meaningless.
The young and strong man was brought back to the country by the militia and handed over to Yang Zhong, and then assigned him to various mines. Li Bao's fleet also began to transport slaves.
But the difference is that these locals with certain civilizations are separated from the original southern barbarian natives, so they made a fine adjustment.
All the southern barbarians in the domestic mines were concentrated on Feilong Island and asked them to mine struvite.
The newly arrived culturally civilized slaves were scattered in various mines, whether it was the East China Islands far away in the East China Sea or the Fugui Island that was about to be developed (the island where Kingsoft is located), they all needed the labor force of these people, and they were all blue-shaped men.
The useless elderly, weak, women, children, sick and disabled were all expelled from Shanhaiguan and turned into refugees, which gave Lanni Parker, the lord of the Nanshan Corps near Shanhaiguan, a headache.
Lanny Parker was preparing to join forces with several surrounding territories to send troops to conquer this ignorant territory, but the other party played this way.
All the names of civilians in his territory were restless, and the powerful were divided into two waves. He was not the local buns outside the mountain, and he did not know the role of civilians on the territory.
"Tell me, how should you deal with these exiled civilians?" Lord Parker asked his subordinates with a headache at the meeting.
"Lord, my subordinates think they should accept these refugees." A middle-aged nobleman with neat short hair combed, bowed slightly to Parker and replied seriously.
"Lord Bert said it lightly. How should these refugees be placed? Where does the food come from?" A nobleman with a beard on the other side immediately retorted.
"Yes! This year's grain production has been reduced a bit, but there is no excess food!"
"Lord Andy is right, how can I resettle without food!"...
These are all powerful people standing behind this nobleman with a beard with a beard, and they all agreed with Andy's opinions.
Bert was the middle-aged nobleman with neat short hair. When he saw the strong rebuttal from the other side, he did not argue, but said to Lord Parker: "Lord, the Convention has mentioned the lord's duties!"
When Lord Parker heard this, he couldn't help but frown deeply. In his heart, he was inclined to Andy's opinion, but when Bert actually proposed the convention, he had to consider it more.
Although there are many contents of the Continental Convention, it must be divided into several categories. One category is the agreement that must be followed, such as not occupying land with lords, not harming lords, etc.
Another type is this kind of obligation. The agreement of responsibilities can turn a blind eye. As long as there are sufficient reasons, it can be ignored. For example, the lord's duty that Bert just proposed is to provide survival protection for civilians.
The last category is the category that has no meaning at all. For example, lords must get along well with each other and no disputes must be initiated. Such an agreement has no value at all!
So when Bert mentioned the Continental Convention, everyone at the meeting kept silent and waited for Lord Parker's decision.
Andy was actually secretly shocked. He didn't expect that his old rival would use his big move as soon as he came up. If the lord really fulfilled the lord's duties in accordance with the convention, his interests would be lost!
Because Andy is responsible for the finances of Nanshan Leader, he also has a large number of service stores such as casinos and taverns. Although there are too many people, it can bring him traffic, but those refugees have no money and only bring chaos. This still allows him to do business quietly!
So he strongly opposed the suggestion of taking in civilians. He kept silent at this time just thinking about how to provide the lord with an excuse to turn a blind eye.
The reason why Bert advocated taking in civilians was not because he had a sense of justice and sympathy, but because he needed this reputation as a civil affairs officer. At the same time, he also had many farms, ranches, and mines. As long as he had these refugees, he could hire refugees at a low price and take advantage of this to make a big reputation for being kind.
Interests are the most primitive driving force. No matter how you argue on the surface, you actually have their own interests and needs behind their backs!
Andy thought for a while, and saw Bert's confident look, thinking about the good reputation he had among the people, his eyes lit up, and he took a step out, saluting Lord Parker and said, "Lord, according to the convention, our territory should have complied with the agreement, but!"
As he said that, he focused on the word "but" and said: "But this is just an enemy's trick, which will not make us feel better. Moreover, accepting these refugees from the mountains will also cause conflicts between the territory by civilians, so our territory should allow these refugees to go to other territories and let other lords take them away."
Andy's reasons also made Parker's eyes lit up. These reasons have sufficient basis. He is the primary territory to block the enemy and cannot be fooled by the enemy.
Just when he was about to agree, a guard trotted in outside the door and respectfully reported to Lord Parker: "Lord, Lord Qi, there is a man who claims to be a Garfield Chamber of Commerce outside the castle who came to ask for a visit!"
