The neat streets, the people who live and work in peace and contentment, the clothes that are patched but at least intact, and the traffickers coming and going, all look like the town of Liyue where Mondstadt has a relatively large number of people.

Refugee camp?Who believes it!

In addition, there are a large number of busy workers. They are not like refugees. Do refugees have the strength to work?

So here’s the question. Didn’t we say that many refugees from Mondstadt fled to Liyue before, and they even had conflicts with the locals in Liyue? Why do you look so peaceful now? Where are the previous refugees?

Could it be that he was buried in a mass grave? ?

Eura and Rosalia looked at each other, and saw the panic in each other's eyes at the same time. If that was the case...it seemed unlikely. That would be at least 10,000+ people. How many troops would it take to divide and manage them, and then process them in batches? This is not a pig killing, there is no reason for 10,000+ people to die silently. .

So the two decided to go down and find out where the refugees in Mondstadt were.

"Hello fellow countryman, have you seen the refugees from Mondstadt?"

"Refugees? Then you are late. There are no refugees here, but you two are quite like refugees."

Because Yula and Rosalia came through the disaster area, they basically didn't get much rest. In addition, they were sleeping in the open and rushing forward, and fighting wild monsters in the wilderness. Now they both look dirty (there is a The two of them walked across the muddy, flooded ground with one foot deep and one foot shallow.) Compared with the uncle, the coachman, he indeed looked more like a refugee.

However, Rosalia recognized the other party's Mondstadt accent, so she asked: "Uncle, is he from Mondstadt?"

The uncle nodded, pointed to the north and said: "My family used to live in Qingquan Town, but that was a year ago. Now I am half of Liyue... Mond... Xumi... forget it , Anyway, life here is pretty good, His Majesty the Red King has given us a rare happy life, thank you for His Majesty's gift."

Seeing the uncle's pious expression, Rosalia couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, don't you believe in the God of Wind?"

The uncle shook his head decisively: "What's the use of believing in the wind god? In the past 20 years or so, I have never had enough. If I had known that His Majesty King Xinchi would have a better life, I would have changed my faith long ago. I am grateful to Your Majesty."

This 20-year-old uncle (really an uncle, working in the fields is very demanding and easy to age prematurely) shows an almost fanatical piety, the kind of piety that Rosalia once had in those West Wind churches. It has been seen in believers, but now, many of those people have committed suicide because of the collapse of their faith.

Rosalia did not continue to talk about faith. Firstly, she was not a fanatical believer, and secondly, the West Wind Church did not play any role in this disaster.

What, they prepared food for the victims? .

It was indeed a kind act, but did it change the living conditions of the victims?It’s not the same as before, the conflicts are still fermenting, it’s meaningless, and the victims will even fight for the food donated, and more people will die.

The Knights of the West Wind couldn't do anything either. Captain Qin was busy all day long but had very few achievements. It was when Rosalia saw this that she chose to leave in disappointment.

Yula's situation was even worse. She was simply desperate.

But what they didn't expect was that they unexpectedly saw the flame of hope next door to Mondstadt, and there was only a lake between them. They didn't know what the people of Mondstadt on the other side would think after seeing the life here. .

Rosalia also noticed that Uncle Coachman's carriage was a little special. It wasn't that it was so exquisitely modified, but that the wheels had some structure added to them. The wheels were also larger and seemed to be flexible.

Yes, this is the shock-absorbing carriage that has become popular in Xumi, because it has been able to mass-produce qualified springs. Before the emergence of steam vehicles and subsequent diesel locomotives, these carriages equipped with new buffer structures will become the main force of transportation. They Its transportation efficiency and unit carrying capacity far exceed that of traditional horse-drawn carriages. The same is the case with horse-drawn carriages. The land transportation efficiency of Xumi has completely wiped out Liyue's traditional road merchants.

Anyway, now on the land commercial route from Xumi to Liyue, nine and a half of the ten caravans are from Xumi. Liyue merchants have been forced to withdraw from the traditional competition route in large areas and have to follow northward. Winter and Mondstadt's counterparts go to volume.

Later historians called this change the "land transportation revolution."

Of course, there will be corresponding changes at sea, but in a short period of time, sailing boats will not be eliminated, and there will be some for the time being.

As Xumi's industrial production capacity is gradually released, a large number of new-style horse-drawn carriages appear on the road. Even the businessmen in Liyue have begun to purchase large-scale purchases. However, they can no longer squeeze back into their original circle, unless a government order is used to impose restrictions on Xumi's business. limit.

But the problem is, now that Ils has become the regent of Liyue and is waiting for the right time to be crowned, there is no way for Liyue merchants to rely on administrative means to extend their lives.

Fortunately, they can use new equipment to bully other countries that have not updated iterations, such as Solstice, Mondstadt, Fontaine, and Nata.

Oh, Mond probably won’t be able to bully her for a few more days. As for the rice wives overseas, not just anyone can break into that route.

Iers started a comprehensive reform in Bishuiyuan. Naturally, he had to use his own good stuff. There was no need to transport the entire vehicle, just get some key components for assembly. At the same time, he could also use light industry to absorb the unemployed population of Liyue.

After all, this is a big country with a population of close to [-] million. Iles didn't worry about unemployment before. Now he needs to worry about unemployment a little bit, but only temporarily.

The entire continent of Teyvat does not have a population of one billion (in fact, it does not exceed [-] million in all calculations). Worrying about unemployment at this time is as funny as worrying about gaining weight when a person weighing [-] pounds eats an extra bowl of rice today.

As a warrior and a nominal nun, Rosalia didn't know what these changes in the carriages meant, but at least she could tell that these carriages were faster and more stable, and could pull more things. The wide and thick flexible wheels have strong adaptability to dirt roads.

By the way, roads, the roads here are not dirt roads, but rammed earth roads. What a huge amount of work!

In fact, this design is to facilitate the paving of asphalt roads in the future, but even to the current level, it has brought great convenience to the locals. Many Liyue people have even moved here, which is enough to prove that Iles has done How successful it was.

But the most successful thing is actually his engineering policies and infrastructure plans. Strong execution power and sufficient manpower can create miracles.

"Let's walk around here." Yula said.

She had a strong feeling that her confusion about the future would be answered here.

Rosalia just nodded. She was just curious at this time. What kind of power changed the refugees from Mondstadt in such a short period of time. It is worth observing.

Chapter 135: They are all good at playing

(Fourth update! Where’s everyone’s third batch~( ̄▽ ̄~)(~ ̄▽ ̄)~)

"Hehehe, smart people, they are all smart people. Sure enough, the underlying principles are the same. It just depends on whether there is a chance."

What Iers just discovered through the national management system is that the price of food in a certain place in Liyue is rising rapidly. The reason is that large areas of local farmland have been turned into cash crops. Under the current transportation conditions, when food around a city When supply problems arise, rising food prices are inevitable.

The cause of the matter is not complicated. After Xumi's factory began to operate at full capacity, the demand for various raw materials began to explode. Xumi did not have a colony. When internal resources could not be satisfied, it could only import from the outside and supply to surrounding areas. As far as the country is concerned, this is a good day to make money by selling raw materials. We must seize the opportunity!

When the wind blows, the pigs swarm forward and begin to swim in the happy ocean of free capitalism.

As a result, a lot of land originally used to grow food has been turned into growing cash crops, such as sugar cane and beet, mainly used for sugar production. You must know that sugar is also an important industrial raw material and is used in many aspects, not to mention far away. , adding sugar to black gunpowder can increase the power by one-fifth to one-third.

Liyue was originally founded on commerce, and the local gentry's minds turned very quickly. They immediately understood what a developed commodity economy could bring to them, and they happily set up economic farms one by one.

Due to the impact of Xumi industry, many traditional handicraft industries in Liyue went bankrupt. It was impossible for all those workers to be absorbed by Xumi factories at once, so they became cheap dividends for the local labor market in Liyue. The local gentry used very meager wages to Hire them to harvest cash crops, and then recover the workers' wages through rising food prices.

Don’t forget, the land is also in the hands of others, and the local gentry has first-class control over local food prices.

In the farming era, this method could easily create a monopoly effect in the local area, because the transportation conditions were there. Even if the grain was transferred from neighboring provinces, it would still take time and loss, which would be equivalent to the court losing money and fighting the gentry, unless Turn the tables, or you'll have to compromise on certain issues.

The gentry along the coast in the late Ming Dynasty were all good at this, and they were very good at it.

Apart from anything else, it is outrageous that the Japanese pirates can be equipped with matchlock guns from Sanyan Tong and Shenji Camp. This is not just thrown to them by the retreating Ming army. There are some fly camp dogs behind them. Smart people can understand it at a glance, but If you want to solve it, you have to use the knife.

Iers, who discovered this situation, called Morax directly (Void System, High-level Special Edition).

"Model worker, what are you doing?"

After Ilse got to know Morax, she called him Lao Mo, which is pronounced "model worker", so he decided to call him that.

It is said that Morax is indeed a model worker among the Seven Gods, and there is nothing wrong with this title.

At this time in Liyue Port, Comrade Zhongli, who was transformed into a guest at the Palace of Purity, was shopping and inspecting the sentiments of the people.

"I'm taking a walk outside, what's the matter?"

Ils told Morax what happened in Liyue, and the latter asked after a moment of silence: "Is this the price you have to pay for industrialization, or is it the result of human manipulation?"

"Theoretically, if everyone is kind, we can enter the industrial society in a harmonious state. However, human beings prefer to use their fists to express their desire to occupy more resources when they are strong."

Iles's subtext is: Of course this is a man-made disaster, but it has been like this before, and after everyone got used to it, it became an iron law of history.

But if it was the case before, does that mean it must be right?

"So we should first establish rules for those gentry." Morax said seriously.

"It's useless for you to set rules now. According to my past experience, these people will not stop their suicide behavior before the knife is placed on their necks. If you start now, it will only make many problems more hidden. They are still I’ll do it secretly.”

"Then what you mean is to watch them seek death, then collect evidence, and then slap them to death. Is that what you mean?"

"This is the easiest thing to do, but I still suggest that you, as Emperor Yanwang, come up with laws and regulations to protect the interests of workers and farmers. I have prepared the content for you. Just publish it, but if you don't prepare the corresponding processing department, first Hold it in."

Morax instantly understood what Ils meant.

There is a legal basis, but the bottom class has no way to redress their grievances, and conflicts gradually accumulate and turn into a powder keg. Other gentry will think that the Rock King has acquiesced in their actions, so they start to act unscrupulously. When the evidence is almost collected, Ils takes With the legal text in hand, the family members were cleared one by one.

You know, the Xumi state-owned enterprise led by Dolly has now entered Liyue through various channels and vests. They even have small shops opened in the villages. They are elites even if they are losing money, and they take the initiative to make friends with the local gentry and carry out benefits. Exchange, this is a central tentacle of sorts, reaching down to the grassroots.

Those uniformed and well-trained employees can turn into an armed force that pounces on the gentry group at any time.

In the eyes of the gentry, Dolly, who also has a big business, is from the same family as him. How could he think of hanging himself on the street lamp pendant? It's impossible. Besides, they took all the money I gave. We are mutually exclusive. There is a strong binding relationship between us. Even if the Red King wants to be held accountable, this matter cannot be implicated on me. Doesn’t His Majesty the Red King not want taxes?We are the foundation of the entire country, not those idiots who don't understand anything.

Thinking of this, Morax has already begun to mourn for those gentry. It would be good if others can see through two moves in chess. Ils will lay out the layout for you directly from the ending. Prepare the nails, bullets, and Infernal Affairs first, and even Disguising themselves as fellow gentry, before the knife actually fell on those people, no one would have thought that the transfer and sharing of these interests was a rush to lift the table from the beginning.

There is no way, it is difficult for the gentry to think of this. After all, they have been bound to each other by the exchange of interests for a long time. They work hard to make more money. It is a slogan, not a real thing. It is not that there are no gentry who have that kind of consciousness to fight to the death, but the number is very small, not enough to resist Iles's layout.

What the gentry wants is money, while Iles wants a better tomorrow. The dimensions are different, and the analysis results are naturally very different.

In this kind of life-and-death game, information asymmetry can be fatal.

"Okay, I will be prepared, but have you ever thought about the outcome of the Liyue Gentry Group discovering your plan in advance and turning to fully confront you? In that situation, there is no way for me to end."

After all, Morax is the emperor of Liyue. Even if the gentry group deserves to die, he can't help an "outsider" like Ils deal with the locals of Liyue. Some things are not based on right or wrong, but only on the stance. This time Shaking Morax's own legitimacy in power in Liyue would also affect Ils's plan.

In Ils's long-term plan, long-lived gods are the ultimate insurance for future revolutions.

It sounds unreliable. You promised to rely on the people, but you are out of touch.

It has been said that they are the bottom line. They will act and guide before reaching the final bottom line. There is no reason to wait until the bottom line before thinking of a solution. You will regret it after the collapse of the Soviet Union. This is of no use.

Therefore, in the next half century to a century, the legitimacy of the gods' governance cannot be destroyed. They are the authorized ones, and Ils is the executor. To put it bluntly, Ils is the one who takes away the garbage and leaves a clean one. Let’s leave the world to future generations. Let’s see if we can reach the other side of our dreams with everyone’s joint efforts.

"Don't worry about this. I have prepared a plan, including how to fight back if Tianli stands in the gentry camp and comes to us. Although the probability is not high, I have all kinds of outrageous plans here. Of course, time is running out. The longer it goes, the more cards we have and the greater our chances.”

Morax was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Based on universal rationality, your plan is too outrageous."

"This is called taking precautions before things happen. History has not given us many gentle choices."

"The history of your hometown is really wonderful and outrageous at the same time."

"Who told me that there is no God in my hometown, let alone a God who loves people? A world with only humans will become like that. Of course, history is an upward spiral. Even in the darkest era, I am willing to believe in the brilliance of human nature. Because many comrades have come this way."

"Since you are ready, I have nothing to hesitate. Leave the legislation to me." Morax paused and added: "Comrade, that's the right word."

"Yes, comrade, let us take the decisive step."

Chapter 136: Hello, another me

(It’s time to resolve the matter of the World Tree and strengthen the interaction between Ils and Nasida. The growth line has begun! I’ve sent you a [-]-word chapter. I’m going to see a house soon. It’s time for me to resolve these issues. ε=(?ο`*)))Alas)

Dreamland is a magical place, where you can encounter many things that you would never think of in ordinary life, and deeply understand how unimaginable the suturing ability of the human brain is.

You can say that dreams are bizarre, or you can say that dreams are magical and interesting, but the intertwining of dreams and reality can often play a strange symphony that makes people involuntarily indulge in it, even gods are no exception.

"here is?"

Nacida found herself in a strange forest. The reason why it was strange was that she could clearly feel that this forest did not really exist, but was an illusion composed of some kind of spiritual body.

"Lucid dreaming?"

Nacida looked around and found nothing special.

"Nacita..."

"Who?"

A voice called to her, but Nacida could not find the source of the voice.

"Here...here..."

The sound began to have some direction, and Nacida instinctively started to move after the sound.

Soon, the surrounding scene began to break and reorganize, and then...

"Anyone who offends the powerful Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away!"

"The big man is mighty! The big man is mighty! The big man is mighty!"

Nacida found herself in a school field, surrounded by heavily armed elite soldiers, who were feverishly paying tribute to the emperor on the high platform.

"Ils!?"

Nacida recognized the person on the high platform almost at a glance. Although his appearance was very different from the usual Ilse, all her senses clearly told her that this person was Ilse.

But he was not the Ils that Nacida knew. The man on the stage looked domineering, mighty and domineering.

Some information flowed into Nacida's mind, which was quickly organized and absorbed by Nacida. When she raised her head again, she already knew the identity of the man in front of her.

Ils, or the shell of Ils, was named Liu Che, who was later called the "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".

"Could it be that this is Ilse's past?"

Ils once told Nasida that he had been to many, many worlds, so this was one of them.

The supreme emperor, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, this is really the case.

As Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Iles showed hegemony and power that far exceeded Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history. The difference was that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not know what the industrial revolution was and could only roll it out within a limited scope of productivity, but Iles could. Pointing out a clear general direction for the development of the country, and at the same time reorganizing and integrating hundreds of schools of thought, the Han Dynasty quickly entered a period of prosperity.

But prosperous times also come with a price, and at this time, Ils was not at all the person Nasida knew who treated every common person as a human being.

"Fourteen hours of work a day is necessary. In the early stage of industrialization, surplus value must be squeezed out in this way. This is how the British came out. If the Han Empire wants to leave enough wealth for future generations, one generation must survive for ten generations. Human suffering! This is a necessary sacrifice!"

Along with the whistle of steam engines, factories were built in the Central Plains, and Iles issued the "Imperial Land Decree".
