"As long as their productivity is not higher than ours, they will have nothing to do in the face of this dimensionality reduction attack. People are indeed different, but their yearning for a better life is the same, even devout Indian believers , when he learns that he can enjoy glory and wealth in this life, his Taoist heart will be severely shaken. At this time, he only needs one breath, and the world will collapse."

"Are there any countermeasures?"

"Of course there is, but these two methods, as the King of Yan is his god, will definitely not be done. The first is to cut off one's own way of life, and the second is that Liyue is not qualified to go now."

"Which two are they?"

"The first is to close the door tightly, reject all new things, and live your own little life."

Nasida shook her head: "This is giving up the whole world. Is anyone really that stupid?"

Ils smiled bitterly and said: "No, they are not stupid. On the contrary, they are very smart. In fact, even the Mite Greens in our hometown who are called by countless people 'must rebel after time travel' are quite good at controlling the people." Insightful, their emperor was fully aware of what was happening outside and always stood at the forefront of the times, but they chose to use the iron chains of the old era to restrain the progress of the Eastern Dragon, and to a certain extent they were indeed very successful."

"What's the price?"

"Everyone, without exception, will pay the price when the naval cannons of the great powers open the country."

"It is unreasonable to ask everyone to bear the responsibility for the mistakes made by the rulers..."

"There is no way, the real world is like this. After all, people in reality cannot bear everything individually, so as a whole that can bear everything, of course we must bear the price. After all, the price will not disappear, it will only be delayed. and transfer.”

"What about the second method?"

"Cut the entire country into pieces, with the ruler standing high above and throwing down three melons and two dates from time to time for the people below to tear each other apart. In this way, the entire country will become stable on another level."

Nacida was stunned and whispered: "What is the difference between this and suicide?"

Dividing people sounds like a very clever method, but to put it bluntly, it is a mess. Even if such a country can survive for decades, it will eventually be completely defeated in a game related to the national destiny. If it is a war, This speed will be faster.

Because this kind of division disintegrates not only the unity at the bottom, but also the people's sense of identity with their country. In this process, sober and rational people will gradually gather together to achieve another kind of unity in disguise. Sooner or later, the flames of anger will be suppressed. When you can't stop, it seems that you have hit a pressure relief valve, but this operation is like taking medicine. The threshold is constantly rising. The more you take, the more you take it. The result is that you will completely become a useless person, whether it is the people or the country.

How can a nation that is addicted from top to bottom have fighting power? Moreover, the countries that do this, without exception, have great shortcomings in history. Once they fall, they will never have a chance to stand up again.

Iers spread his hands and said: "No difference, it's just suicide. It's just a new method of suicide. And a country that achieves this level must have a considerable economic foundation. To put it bluntly, the three you left behind Gualiangzao must at least be attractive to the middle and lower classes. If the economy shrinks to 50 a piece of bread, it will be useless even if you throw nuclear weapons. After all, the people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? If they are all killed, the original middle class will become the bottom class. Before that, these people will become the new enemies of the ruling class, and they are the backbone of this society, equivalent to the president pressing the nuclear button and executing The process is up to others. If they don’t trust the government or even fully resist, you won’t be able to get out even if you have nuclear bombs.”

Nasida immediately shook her head and said, "Morax would not do that."

Iles nodded and said: "I think so too, so Liyue has to face the impact of industrial power. The old order will be eliminated in the process, but this does not mean that they will withdraw from the stage of history. There will be no interruption in the process." It’s impossible to shed any blood.”

"But there are no powerful landlords in Liyue."

"Nascida, landlords and conservative forces are not synonymous. The absence of big landlords does not mean that there will be no privileged nobles. It is just that they have changed their way of existence."

"If it really comes to that, Morax will use force to change it."

"He can indeed do it, but people who are cornered will also resist. No one knows how things will turn out until the real results are achieved."

"You think Morax will lose?"

Ils did not answer the question directly, but asked instead: "Nasida, do you know what historical event has done the most harm to the sanctity of the Seven Gods of Teyvat?"

Nasida was stunned for a moment, thought seriously, and finally shook her head.

Iles said: "It is the Demon God War, because this war proves one thing to everyone, gods can be killed."

Nasita suddenly realized.

If a god is immortal from the moment he appears, then humans will indeed fear him from generation to generation. But if a god is killed, even if this god is killed by a god, humans will also You will not absolutely fear God, because when it comes to death, the ultimate issue of life, you are the same as humans and have no unquestionable sanctity.

From that moment on, there will definitely be humans who want to seize God’s authority.

The Seven Gods of Teyvat are very strong, but strong and invincible are two different concepts. Some people always think that a country with nuclear weapons must be invincible and can be unscrupulous. But the real situation is that the stronger the person, the more they must be feared. Heart, otherwise even if you wield a 40-meter sword, at most it will make people feel fear instead of awe. The lack of respect in awe means that someone will gnash their teeth in hatred towards you. This dissatisfaction and hatred will continue to accumulate. People or countries that are not human beings will be regarded as sacrifices in exchange for awe by those who come after them, placed in the sacrificial ceremony of the new era, and enjoy the thanksgiving and worship of everyone.

To give the simplest example, if the wind god of Mondstadt starts to conquer Mondstadt now, then the Winter Kingdom in the north is very willing to chop him to death when necessary, and then let Zhidong and Mondstad unite under the adoring eyes of the people of Mondstadt. Two become one.

When someone starts to do evil, the reward for doing good will increase exponentially. When the reward is large enough, someone will step forward and slay the evil dragon.

Nasida closed her eyes, laughed at what she just heard, and then asked: "So our cultural propaganda offensive is essentially a means to assist the development of productivity, is that right?"

"Yes, cultural propaganda is just an accessory of economic development. As long as the economy and productivity increase, the field of civilization and culture will naturally have a strong attraction. But we cannot rely solely on economic development to make a big impact, we must have more. Precise operation can achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

"Then why not conduct cultural exchanges directly in Liyue Port?"

"Originally I planned to do this in Liyue Port, but didn't I have a better goal? For soldiers on the battlefield, a place where they can rest and have fun is harder to get than at home, and it's also It is more attractive and easier to impress them. These people are the elites of Qianyan Army and the proper middle class in Liyue society. If they have a yearning for Xumi culture and take the initiative to promote it for us, The impact it can have is huge.”

The middle class is not just about making more money. Although it is just a high-level proletariat, because it can get more labor value, it can observe the whole world from a higher place and have higher requirements for its own life, whether it is self-realization or self-realization. To enjoy life, they all want better things and have more desire to express themselves. Once these people are attracted by a more advanced culture, they can easily jump to speak from the standpoint of the advanced side. Qianyan Army soldiers themselves belong to If a group with high organization and combat effectiveness is attracted and takes the initiative to say good things to Xumi, and really helps promote Xumi's products and ideas, the effect will be similar to cell division, and it can affect a large area in the blink of an eye.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Ailes to advertise how good his country is to another country's military in such a big way. Unless the other country's knowledge is lower than that of the East Asian monster room, they will definitely be alert, even if the two sides are allies.

Morax's vision is definitely not low, but neither man nor god can imagine things he has never seen before, such as UMP45 with huge breasts (sure).

Without Iers' serious explanation, even Nasida, who stays with Iers every day, would not understand what Iers meant by opening a cultural exchange center behind the Qianyan Army in Liyue, and she was making too much money. Go for it.

This is the scary part of the cultural propaganda game. Most people really can’t imagine this. What’s more, there is no systematic propaganda war and cognitive war here in Teyvat. When hostile forces fight, they will indeed use rumors to deal with their enemies, but in reality , a full-dimensional game from economics to politics, from culture to thought, this is too much beyond cognition, and is equivalent to asking people in 1000 BC to think about what people in 2000 AD were thinking.

Think of a der!

"I understand, this is to turn the Qianyan Army into a seed that loves Sumeru, and borrow their influence to expand our influence in Liyue." Naxida realized instantly.

"Yes, that's it, but this is only the first step. When the battle in the Rock Abyss is over, we can move forward with the next step of the plan until..."

The red light on the desk suddenly turned on, and Iles temporarily stopped teaching to let the guards in.

The guard turned around and left after delivering the information. Iles turned on the code and read a few lines. His expression was as if he was constipated and had a stomachache. After a moment, he cursed loudly: "Barbatos, can you do something serious?"

Chapter 115: The dragon goes crazy and the people pay the bill

(Fourth update, good night everyone (?3[▓▓], please vote for me and comment (*?ω?))

Mondstadt, a country of wind and freedom, is full of philosophy inside and out.

Wait a minute, that is the freedom of Station B. What we are discussing here is freedom that is normal, positive, optimistic, upward, and full of humanistic care. Please delete the American freedom in your mind, thank you.

ε=(?ο`*))) Alas, a good word was ruined by American scum.

So what happened that caused Ilse to curse Barbatos?

The story begins with the dragon disaster in Mondstadt not long ago.

This matter was solved by a yellow-haired traveler. The traveler is currently looking for his brother in Xumi. However, the dragon disaster in the game is just the player's adventure, but in reality, someone has to pay for the dragon disaster, and nothing else. Everyone knows that when a super strong tornado appears on land, it will cause large-scale destruction. Even if Tvarin tried his best to contain himself in a semi-crazy state, it still caused heavy losses to the people of Mondstadt.

Now let's open the Mondstadt map and come to Blue Wind Highlands.

In the game, this place has three important areas: Qingquan Town, Benlangling and Chenxi Winery. To the south is the Longji Snow Mountain that freezes travelers to death. In reality, this area is an important fruit producing area in Mondstadt, with " "Cangfeng Orchard".

Mond's brewing industry has a long-standing reputation. In addition to creating the famous alcoholic Barbatos, the brewing industry itself provides more than 300 million jobs to Mond (mainly fruit cultivation and wineries require many people). Mond is the A barometer of the economy, it is also a barometer of the alcoholic products of the Teyvat countries.

So what does Xumi have to do with this Jiu Mengzi country?If you want to make wine, you can also use grain. There is no shortage of grain in Xumiru.

This is true, but it is also true that winemaking is an industry that consumes a lot of food. On the issue of food red lines, Iles inherited the persistence from the motherland. The food produced is first considered to fill the granary, and then used. The excess food can be used for other purposes. Even so, Iers insists on resource commodities, importing as much as possible and consuming other people's without using his own.

Although brewing is a light industry and even has a considerable degree of handicraft industry, it does not mean that its industrial chain is short.

From the cultivation of wine products, to the fermentation and packaging, as well as the storage and brewing, each step in the entire process can be used individually as an industrial chain. For example, Mond's wooden barrel packaging technology is very good. This technology It can not only be used to preserve wine, but also alcohol, which is even more useful as an industrial necessity.

After Xumi started to industrialize, the demand for alcohol in many industries soared. However, with more than 3000 manpower in Xumi, Iers really couldn't spare the time to build a million-person brewing industry chain. However, the alcohol processing and storage was incomplete. Technology is a huge waste of resources, and distiller's grains are also a good thing. You can't just use them as biofertilizer. You're really wasting your money.

In this case, let's build a small and sophisticated brewing industry in Xumi, stick to the bottom line of "I have it too", and import the remaining large demand directly from Mondstadt. Anyway, you are professional there, so we need alcohol and the like. It’s a semi-finished product, and it saves processing time. It’s so easy to make money, so there’s no reason to refuse.

This is indeed the case. Sumeru was waving a big order with real money, and Mondstadt's businessmen immediately pounced on it. A large amount of ethanol products entered Sumeru, becoming a boost to industrialization, and then Tvarin was stunned when he went crazy. Blown away.

Mond's ethanol production has plummeted by 50.00% this year, and the resulting chain reaction has left acting team leader Qin in a state of distress.

Do you see, this is the cruel reality. The kind of big noise caused by Tevarin cannot be ignored afterwards. A world where no one is injured simply does not exist. As long as there are elephants moving, there will be no problem. There will inevitably be ants trampled to death, but this time the ants trampled to death are humans.

But it is impossible for the Knights of the West Wind to pursue Tevalin. Let’s not talk about whether the Knights of the West Wind, which is currently only in reserve, has that fighting capacity. Tevalin was also a good dragon who followed Lord Fengshen through the pass. He is one of the guardians of the four winds and is equivalent to Yu Liyue's Immortal is equivalent to a tactical nuclear weapon, so there's no point in dismantling your own nuclear bomb.

As for the people who have been affected, they are suffering. Anyway, they are used to suffering on weekdays, and it will be over soon.

This is the attitude of the upper class towards the lower class. Even if Captain Qin is sympathetic, it does not mean that the Knights of the West Wind, a military organization based on the landlord and feudal aristocratic system, will really consider the suffering of the people at the bottom.

So, if the fairy tale is put into reality, it's all a cold calculation by Char calling you brother.

The current dragon disaster has led to the bankruptcy of a large number of merchants in the brewing industry in Mondstadt, and has also reduced many local people to abject poverty. According to Ilse's experience, it will take at least ten years for the Blue Wind Highlands to recover.

Because the destroyed fruit trees need to be replanted, and related workshops and villages need to be rebuilt on the spot. They do not have the protection of the Grass God, and there is no way to discount plant growth. The Wind God cannot help with this problem, and we cannot give relief to the disaster-stricken people. Let the German people provide you with the northwest wind. It is not a sandstorm from Mongolia. You can fill it up in half an hour with your mouth open.

“This year’s purchase agreement is all cancelled.”

Ils was helpless. Those businessmen had gone bankrupt, and some even committed suicide. At this time, even if the nine tribes were brought out to threaten them, they could only cry and go on the road together without being able to deliver goods at all.

Nasida thought for a while and said, "Then let's expand the plantation area in Xumi. There are many workers in Mondstadt looking for jobs, right?"

Iles nodded: "This is indeed a good opportunity to develop the Xumi brewing industry. Manpower can be hired directly from Mondstadt, but the efficiency of Mondstadt's disaster relief is..."

It has been almost half a year since the Dragon Disaster occurred. Calculating the time, when Ils took over the Order Academy, Mondstadt had just finished dealing with Tevalin's affairs. Now, half a year has passed on both sides at the same time. Sumeru's Erjingdina Munaland has begun to rebuild, and the disaster relief work in the Blue Wind Highlands is still ongoing. In the Central Plains Dynasty, the common people now have to use peasant uprisings to express their dissatisfaction with the court. The value ranges from 108 bandits coming up the mountain to Li Zicheng breaking through the border. In the meantime, how will we see the subsequent performance of the imperial court and whether we will encounter a loser like Iles.

Even Sun Chuanting, with his well-paid Shenji Battalion, could not defeat the macho man who carried the Hongyi cannon and hit people all over the world.

If the disaster area was on the border of Mondstadt, then the efficiency of the 11th relief route would be somewhat understandable, but Blue Wind Highlands is right next to Mondstadt, and the province next to the capital was hit by the disaster, and the court's reaction was as if he was paralyzed. , what kind of script is orthodox in Mondstadt in the late Ming Dynasty, Barbatos is definitely not doing anything serious!

But this is a problem on Mondstadt's side and has nothing to do with Sumeru. Iers' first consideration is how to import workers from Mondstadt.

But, if some things don’t matter to you, then they really don’t matter.

Chapter 116: Allies are surprised

(First update, please give me monthly votes and barrage o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓)

Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortunes never come alone. Just when Mondstadt was in crisis due to the dragon disaster, a bigger crisis broke out.

"The flood is coming!" "Run!" "Help!"

Yes, a new disaster has arrived.

During the period when Tevarin failed to control himself, some violent tornadoes raged in the northern part of the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain for a period of time. It seemed like nothing at the time, but in fact the strong wind swept part of the warm air from the ocean, and added Part of the terrain was destroyed, causing a warm current belt to appear in the northern part of Longji Snow Mountain.

Normally, this kind of change would only melt the snow in the snow-capped mountains a little more, and would not cause too serious problems. Anyway, there is the sea to the east of Longji Snow Mountain, and no matter how big the water is, it can be digested by the sea.

But the problem is that the originally smooth Lianhai River was severely blocked by landslides caused by strong winds. When the snow in the snow-capped mountains began to melt on a large scale, a barrier lake was directly formed. Because Longji Snow Mountain is really It was so cold that no one would go to the mountains to see the changes on weekdays. As a result, when the barrier lake was overwhelmed and collapsed, the violent icy snow water rushed directly to the plains of Cangfeng Highlands, destroying the already severely affected areas. The plantation was washed away again.

This disaster is simply a replica of Mondstadt in the Erjingdian area, except that Nanamalan in Erjingdian was resolved by Iers and the people of Sumeru, who tried their best to resolve what happened here. Noticed, until tragedy strikes.

The floods directly killed 30 people and left nearly a million people homeless. The already shaky Mondstadt brewing industry died suddenly and was unable to recover.

But it was not over yet. The water flowed downwards, and part of the floodwater rushed into the Fengxiao hillside, where a swamp of ice and water was formed, directly cutting off the land connection between the area and the main area of ​​Mondstadt, while Fengxiao The plain area on the Xiaoshan Mountain is the largest grain-producing area in Mondstadt, and its lifeblood has been cut off directly.

So Mond's problem immediately changed from "no wine this year" to "no food in the future."

If you don't drink, Jiu Mengzi will be in pain at most, but if you don't eat, everyone in Mondstadt will have to feel the pain of the world.

The Knights of the West Wind urgently started disaster relief mode, and Captain Qin personally took charge. However, after thousands of years of baptism, the Knights of the West Wind today are no longer what they were originally...

Bishuiyuan, the Liyue land directly bordering Mondstadt, is the largest grain-producing area in Liyue. Coincidentally, to the north of them is the severely affected Cangfeng Highlands. Since a month ago, refugees from Mondstadt have entered the Bishuiyuan area intermittently.

However, the territory of Bishuiyuan is very large, and the production and living conditions in different regions are also different. For example, Wuwangpo does not have much resource output and the population is very small. However, Qingcezhuang is very wealthy and has a relatively large population because it is a grain producing area. , Shimen is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is also a good place to live. The salt in the ground is the largest salt well in Liyue. Dihua Prefecture is rich in rice. In addition to land transportation, water transportation is also an important part of the blue water source.

Now, a large number of Mondstadt refugees have poured into the land east of the stone gate, causing huge pressure on the local area.

For a farming civilization, migration of tens of thousands of people is very serious. This continuous influx of refugees of 10 people can directly crush the regional economy, and the local crime rate will also rise sharply. Refugees The conflicts with the locals began to become acute. Anyway, for these refugees, they had nothing and they would do anything to survive.

But the most important thing is that there is no one to manage them. The local government and people will give some help out of sympathy, but more will not be available. Relief for disaster victims is something that modern society cannot handle well. If it crosses the border, it will cause all kinds of troubles. , not to mention the refugees between two feudal countries, they are simply trapped.

The more this happens, the more turbulent the situation becomes and the more friction there is until it explodes.

Soon, violent clashes broke out.

The cause of the incident was that the refugees from Mondstadt harassed the good women of Liyue and wanted to force them to have some contact with each other. In the end, the girl was a martial arts expert and knocked down two of them on the spot and killed one, leaving her unscathed.

From the perspective of a bystander, those harassers deserved to be beaten to death, but for the Mondstadt refugees, it was because they were homeless and were bullied. This was something they could bear, so they directly knocked on the door and demanded justice. What happened? We also have to pay for some food.

When the local government saw the friend's surprise, their first reaction was to settle the matter. They are about to review the half-year performance. Don't make a fuss over this shit and ruin my official career. Isn't it just a problem between unruly people? Just a little grain will solve the problem, and the people will not care anyway. They didn't even care when I harvested more grain before.

This was indeed the case before, but the situation is different now. For the local people, things between themselves can be tolerated a little bit, but we have been bullied by outsiders, and you, a parent official, even tilted your butt to others, you **** Is it a detailed work sent by Mondstadt?

As for the refugees in Mondstadt, oh, as long as they make a fuss, they will get food. It seems that they can't be too honest and start making a fuss!

So the Mondstadt refugees turned into Ukrainian refugees and began to distribute according to the situation. After the local people discovered the government's conciliatory attitude, they decisively took up arms to protect themselves.

Since your mouth is unreasonable, let's communicate physically. We really think that we Liyue people are made of clay!

As people under the rule of the God of War, the fighting power of the Liyue people is obviously a little higher than that of the Mondstadt people. Two hundred Liyue farmers holding farm tools chased 2000 Mondstadt refugees. The scene was very spectacular and highlighted a martial virtue. abundant.

The effect was obvious. Three hundred people were killed and three thousand injured that day, and a large area of ​​the refugee camp was burned. On the Liyue side, more than 100 people were injured, but no one died.

But when things get to the point of bloodshed, there is no room for relaxation.

Only then did the local officials realize where they had made a mistake, but how could an official admit his mistake? No way!It must be the incompetence of the people around me who deceived me, an official, and dragged him out and beat him to death!

Throw the scapegoat out, and then give some gifts to both parties to appease them, and this matter will be over, right?

Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships (serious words and thoughtful words).

So what did you do before? If this official had dealt with it impartially when the Mondstadt refugees were causing trouble, or simply stood on the side of his own people and made it clear that he was bullying you Mondstadt refugees, then things would not have been so bad. , after all, people are cheap when they leave their hometown. After discovering the hostile attitude of Liyue, even if the Mondstadt refugees are dissatisfied, they can easily suppress it. But if you made the wrong choice at the beginning, then don't blame the later treatment for not giving you face. .
