Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 437 Earliest Environmental Protection Act (4000)

Of course Wu Liang wouldn't really do that.

Black gunpowder is inflammable and explosive, and oil lamps are used for lighting in the palace. If one is not careful, the entire palace may be razed to the ground. This is naturally something Wu Liang does not want to see.

So, this is just a "white" lie.

On top of King Shanshan's wealth and life, the entire palace and all the people in the palace were added, so that King Shanshan would not dare to act rashly, and Wu Liang would feel more at ease, which was beneficial to both parties.

Seeing that King Shanshan was speechless.

Wu Liang showed a kind smile again, and resolutely nonsense: "Since Your Majesty is so frank with us, we are also willing to be frank with His Majesty. To be honest, although I am a general under Cao Shijun's command, I am very serious. Participate less in wars, my real duty is to explore the mysteries of the world and eradicate evil spirits and crooked ways in the world, you can also call us 'exorcists'."

Hitting a stick and giving a sweet date, the combination of kindness and power is the best way to win people's hearts.

Blindly applying high pressure to establish a relationship can sometimes backfire. Sincerity is not as good as clarifying common interests and reaching a consensus recognized by both parties is more reliable.

What's more, King Shanshan has realized that Wu Liang and others have other purposes here, and Wu Liang also followed the trend.

"The exorcist?"

The king of Shanshan showed doubts on his face. This title is really unique, and it has never been seen or heard before.

"?"

Even the people in the Huan army were surprised when they heard this new statement.

When he was in Xiangyang City before, Wu Liang had already referred to their engineering shovels as "subduing the devil shovels" for "removing all the injustices in the world". Now they themselves have become "exploring the mysterious things in the world" in Wu Liang's mouth. The "Exorcist", either of these two titles sounds so compelling, tall, big and high.

Great, my General Wu!
In General Wu's ability to come out of this chapter, we have unknowingly become "exorcists" who are coaxing. I really don't know where General Wu's fresh and refined words come from. It's...but we like it.

"Exactly."

Wu Liang nodded, and said seriously, "Actually, we did not meet Fang Qiong in Liangzhou by chance, but we captured him in Yanzhou. However, before we came to Jiani City, we didn't know that Fang Qiong was actually Jiani. The famous witch in the city only knows that there are some unknown mysterious powers hidden in her body, and we came here this time to explore the secret and source of this mysterious power."

"Exorcism, I am afraid that no one in this world is more professional than us."

"Thus, although the witch has returned to Xenni City again, please rest assured, Your Majesty, since we have come together, we will definitely resolve this matter satisfactorily, and will never implicate Xeni City."

"In addition, His Majesty just said that the amount of water in the Kongque River outside the city is decreasing year by year, and the waters of the salt lake in the lower reaches of the Kongque River are also shrinking, and expressed his concern. With all due respect, this matter may have nothing to do with the witch. After all, the witch has not been in Jiani City these years, and she is not even in Shanshan Kingdom at all."

"However, please rest assured, Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty is willing to cooperate with me unconditionally, I will investigate this matter for Your Majesty free of charge, relieve His Majesty's worries, and ensure the long-term stability of Shanshan Kingdom."

"I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

This is not only the worry of King Shanshan, but also something that Wu Liang wants to find out. It may be related to the truth about the mysterious disappearance of the ancient Loulan kingdom.

As for whether it is really free...

Then the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. After all, the five words "unconditional cooperation" have a lot of room for manipulation. The king of Shanshan can spend huge sums of money to build Fumo Temple because of Master Pushan's words Suppressing the witch can naturally satisfy Wu Liang's many reasonable demands.

"really!"

The king of Shanshan lifted his spirits when he heard the words, grabbed Wu Liang's hand and said repeatedly, "Xiao Wang said that your Excellency is not an ordinary person, and it doesn't look like he came here specially to embarrass us in Shanshan. Xiao Wang did not guess wrong! Now, we have a common goal, which will benefit the Shanshan Kingdom, so why would Xiao Wang refuse to cooperate with your investigation?"

"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty, and I will definitely give His Majesty a satisfactory result."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

"..."

Everyone in the Huan army laughed and said nothing.

General Wu has such a glib mouth, it's impossible to dissatisfy...

……

King Shanshan may not have complete trust in Wu Liang and the others, and even if he expresses his willingness to cooperate unconditionally, it may not be true willingness.

It's just that whether it's due to the situation or weighing the pros and cons, cooperating with Wu Liang's work has become the only option in front of him now, even if it is pretending, he has to pretend to be a little bit.

Also, "cooperation" is always more comfortable than "coercion".

that's it.

All the people in the Guanren Army lived comfortably in the Shanshan King's Palace.

The soldiers of the Huren Army divided into groups of four and drove away the guards beside the King of Shanshan. They took turns guarding the King of Shanshan for twelve hours. The only one who could get close was the maid who served the King of Shanshan.

Naturally, concubines and concubines are not used to sleep. Before Wu Liang and others left, King Shanshan could only be forced to abstinence.

Apart from other things, just with the four big men standing by and watching, he probably couldn't stand up, and he certainly couldn't accept his woman being looked down upon by other men.

As for this brief one-sided battle, and the death of General Xia Hafu and Master Pu Shan.

The king of Shanshan also immediately issued a gag order, and anyone who had been involved in this matter was required to keep silent, at least not to discuss this matter publicly, so even though it had already caused a lot of influence, they were still forcibly suppressed.

And Wu Liang and others obtained a gold token personally bestowed by the King of Shanshan.

Theoretically speaking, with this gold medal, the entire Shanshan Kingdom has no forbidden land for Wu Liang. Whether it is the Golden Chamber Pavilion where Shanshan’s ancient books and history books are stored, or the armory in the palace, as long as he sees this gold medal, he will be released unconditionally. The city gate is naturally unimpeded, regardless of time.

From the perspective of etiquette, the boudoirs of queens, concubines and princesses must not be entered casually. Wu Liang is a self-respecting person, so of course he will not do anything wrong.

within the next half month.

The black dragon storm in the camel grave did not appear.

Wu Liang and the others were not idle either. Together with Yu Ji and Zhuge Liang, they had gone through a lot of books collected in the Golden Chamber Pavilion, including the biographies of the former kings that King Shanshan had narrated.

What is used in this biography is the ancient text handed down from the "Gandhara Kingdom" along with Buddhism.

This is a text in the form of syllable letters, which contains 252 different symbols used to represent various combinations of consonants and vowels. Although Wu Liang studied archaeology in his previous life, he is not omniscient. He couldn't understand the more complicated "Qi Lu Wen".

Yu Ji didn't do much research on this kind of text, and he couldn't complete the translation either.

So much so that Wu Liang had to ask the king of Shanshan for help from a civil servant before he finally understood the content.

The relevant content recorded in the biography of the former king is indeed not much different from the version that King Shanshan told him before, but the history of the development of the ancient Loulan country and the initial construction process of the city of Jianni are recorded in more detail, which seems to be more accurate. It is like an ancient Silk Road version of the wealth history of the rich generation.

Among these books, the one that surprised Wu Liang the most was a law code called "Ordinance of Fighting Ecstasy".

Although this code does not have many words, it promulgates extremely strict and cruel environmental protection laws.

It is stipulated that no one can cut down trees in Shanshan, destroy the vegetation in Shanshan, and must not develop animal husbandry. All livestock can only be fed with forage "imported" from other countries, and the same is true for the wood needed by residents to make fire. Domestic garbage should not be dumped at will, especially domestic garbage should not be discharged into the Kongque River. It should be placed uniformly in the garbage point in the city, and the garbage officials set up by the King of Shanshan will conduct centralized disposal. Hunting near the Kongque River is not allowed. Casting nets for fishing...

For these behaviors that are clearly prohibited in the "Decree on Killing Ghosts", the lightest punishment is to chop off hands and feet, and those who are more severe will be dragged out and hanged, and even family members will be implicated!

Wu Liang was shocked when he saw this code.

As far as he knew, the Celestial Dynasty had enacted laws and regulations on environmental protection very early on.

As early as the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there was already a strict rule that "the hands of those who throw ashes to justice will be cut off".

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi State also had related records that "those who moved to seal the mountain were punished with death. Those who violated the order would have their left foot broken, and their right foot broken."

In the two ancient tombs excavated in 1975 from the Warring States Period to the Qin Dynasty, a written "Environmental Protection Law" was directly discovered, called "Tian Law".

In "Field Law", there are not only specific regulations on the protection of plants, forests, birds, animals, fish and turtles, but also strict measures to prevent waterways from being blocked. It is not only the first environmental protection law in our country, but also the first complete environmental protection law in the world. The law is of great significance, comparable to the "green mountains and green waters" plan that was being implemented by the Celestial Dynasty before Wu Liang traveled.

But compared with "Tian Lv".

The laws and regulations enacted in the "Decree of Fighting Ecstasy" in the Golden Chamber Pavilion of Shanshan Kingdom obviously cover a wider range, and have touched almost all aspects of life.

Moreover, the direction of protection is also very clear, all of which are trying their best to maintain the ecological balance of Kongque River and Shanshan Kingdom, and unswervingly adhere to the road of sustainable development.

"This……"

Wu Liang was shocked.

Regarding the mysterious disappearance of the ancient Loulan country, there is a speculation in later generations that the Loulan people over-cultivated and felled for profit, which eventually caused serious damage to the local water conservancy and vegetation, and eventually declined due to drought, water shortage and ecological damage.

And the "Decree of Killing Evil Spirits" in front of him is enough to refute this speculation.

Loulan people not only love and cherish the ecological environment of the ancient country of Loulan very much, they have even reached the point where there is no one before or after.

Unless... the decrees in the "Decree of Fighting Evil" were not strictly enforced by the Shanshan king and officials.

In order to clarify this point, Wu Liang specifically asked the civil official who translated Qilu Wen for him: "Sir, do you know when this "Decree of Crusade" was made?"

"Your Excellency, please see that it is recorded here."

The civil official spread out the roll of wooden slips in front of Wu Liang, pointed to the last row of columbine inscriptions on the wooden slips and said, "The three years since Kuluo came, that is, the third year when my country was established in Loulan, starting from Loulan. The king himself made it."

That is to say, not long after the ancient kingdom of Loulan was established, this "Decree of Crusade" was signed, and it was almost as old as the ancient kingdom of Loulan!

"Then, is the "Decree of Killing Evil Spirits" still valid?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"Of course it is effective. Last month, another person was hanged in the execution ground outside the city for raising camels on the green land on the bank of the Peacock River. Now that person's body is still hung in the execution ground to warn the residents of the city and passers-by. At that time, I went to the execution ground to watch the execution process."

The civil official said seriously, "This is the most effective decree in our country. The first king once issued an edict. This is the will of our ancestors. Even the previous Loulan kings have no right to pardon those who violate the "Decree of Crusading."

The first ancestors are those winged people who once appeared in the dreams of the ancestors.

"I see……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

If the "Decree of Fighting Evil" has continued since the founding of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, now Wu Liang is more and more sure that the mysterious disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan was not because the Loulan people destroyed the ecological environment and killed themselves, there must be other reasons.

In this way, what King Loulan said before about the decrease in the flow of the Kongque River and the shrinking of the Lop Nur Lake made it even more necessary to check it out in person.

It happened that Wu Liang also wanted to see what Lop Nur, which was not exhausted, looked like.

Because in later generations, Lop Nur had dried up long before he was born, and there was not even a photo of it before it dried up. Almost no one can tell what Lop Nur with water looks like.

"Mr. please help me translate those books too. I'm going out for a while. It's hard work."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang took out a piece of gold from his pocket and handed it to the civil official, and said with a smile.

"Ah, this, this...how did this happen? Your Excellency is His Majesty's distinguished guest, how dare I accept His Majesty's gift, if I teach His Majesty to know, I will definitely be punished!"

The civil official was flattered and repeatedly waved his hands to decline.

"This is my respect for my husband. Even if His Majesty knows about it, he won't be able to say anything. Don't worry too much, sir."

Wu Liang smiled and said that he had forced the gold into the hands of the civil servants, and then he took Yu Ji and Zhuge Liang out of the Golden Chamber Pavilion, and went back to gather other backbones of the Huan army.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency!"

Looking at the background of Wu Liang and others, the civil official finally put the gold into his arms.

So after Wu Liang and the others disappeared completely, he took out a new volume of wooden slips and started to write in a timid language that Wu Liang and the others could not understand.

After a moment.

After drying the ink on the wooden tablet, the civil servant rolled up the wooden tablet again, and then quickly walked to the guard guard outside the Golden Chamber Pavilion, handed the roll of wooden tablet to the guard guard and said in a low voice: " This is the list of books that these people have read today, as well as some special records of speech and behavior, sent to Prince Chamu."

　Thanks to the boss of [Moran Starry Night] for the reward of [-] starting coins, becoming the leader of this book, it seems that it is impossible to be lazy and not add it... I found it a little late today, and I will add it tomorrow!
