Chapter 1018: The Price of Wealth
Kou Ji said a lot, but the only one who was really willing to listen and listen seemed to be the lean man sent by the Zhang family of the Western Tianzhu Kingdom.
He and Cao Zhan dealt with it with a big grin, but obviously didn't pay attention to it.
The others were listening to Kou Ji on the surface, but in fact, they all went in with their left ear and out with their right ear.
Nowadays, among the various families, I am afraid that the only ones who are really willing to obey Kou Ji's words unconditionally are the Zhang family of the Western Tianzhu Kingdom and the Liu family of Xiyang.
Kou Ji sighed in his heart, unwilling to say more.
Kou Ji is also for their good, but they obviously don't appreciate it.
After they had seen the land of North America, their minds had been fully devoted to North America, and they would still listen to Koji.
Kou Ji also understood the thoughts of several of them.
The Xiyang occupied by the Liu family, the Dongyang occupied by the Chong family, and the Liuqiu occupied by the Cao family and the Eastern Tianzhu Kingdom occupied by the Cao family have almost no possibility of outward expansion.
In particular, there are three families of Dongyang Seeding, Liuqiu Cao, and Dongtianzhu Cao.
When they were in the Great Song Dynasty before, they were overwhelmed.
Now that they are sealed outside, the pressure on their heads is gone, and their ambitions have swelled rapidly.
However, in order to implement ambitions, a certain amount of foundation and strength is required.
The three of them are all generals, and their strength is naturally not lacking.
Although it is much weaker than the Great Song Dynasty and Qingguo, it is not a problem to deal with other forces.
Even though they may suffer losses in the early stages, if they are given enough time, they will definitely win.
It's just that without firearm support, it may take a little longer in between.
So in terms of strength, they barely meet the standard.
But they are very lacking.
Not only them, but also the Zhu family in Yizhou, the Gao family in Yanshan, the Li family on the edge of the Snow Mountain, the Liu family in Xiyang, the Zhang family in Xitianzhu, and even the Kou family in Qingguo and the Di family in Beihai, all have very thin backgrounds.
What does Koji think is the underworld?
It's the population and the culture.
If you don't have enough people to participate in the wave of carving up the world, you will die.
The more greedy you are, the faster you die.
The island nations of later generations are a case in point.
After a brief period of power, the island nation became very inflated.
They tried to carve up the world, but they had enough population and cultural heritage, but they came to provoke China, which has a rich population and cultural heritage.
Eventual defeat is inevitable.
Because the ending was already doomed from the beginning.
If they occupy the position of the Han Land at the beginning, the accumulation of the secret poke may turn the position of the Han Land into their territory.
It's a pity that they were greedy, so they quickly embarked on the road of defeat.
Farmers and a few others now plan to make the same mistake.
The pure Song people in the hands of several families are all combined, and there are not as many as Qingguo.
What can you do if you divide the world, isn't it a flash in the pan?
The collision of different people on two lands, the outbreak of the plague, can make the force you are in disappear without a trace in an instant.
The population in his hands is too small to withstand the toss.
Why are you clamoring where?
Not to mention indoctrination, there are not enough talents to help you navigate the territory, can you do it to lay down so much territory?
Playing around?
Emperor Qin, Han Wu, and Tang Zong, all three of them have enough power in their hands to sweep the world, why haven't they swept an era?
It's not that they don't have that ambition, it's that they can't manage it.
Just like the current Great Song Dynasty, after the territory has expanded to a certain point, even if he has the ability to add new soil, Zhao Zhen is not willing to expand again.
Because the current territory of the Great Song Dynasty has reached the limit of the management of the Great Song Dynasty.
Even beyond the limit.
Zhao Zhen had to divide the kings for the first time to help him indirectly control those places that he couldn't reach.
Do you really think that Zhao Zhen is so broad-minded that he can share the world with others?
But as long as Zhao Zhen has the ability to control it, it is impossible for these princes and kings to exist.
Zhao Zhen may give Kou Ji a chance to share the world with him.
But no one else, even think about it.
Therefore, the foundation is the foundation of all ambitions.
Without a solid foundation, blindly chasing your own ambitions can only be short-lived in the end.
And on the land of the East, only Zhao Zhen really has a rich heritage.
Zhao Zhen sent 100,000 people out to toss, and after all the toss was over, he would not frown.
The remaining families, except for Qingguo, can scrape together 100,000 people to go out to toss, I'm afraid only the Cao family of Dongtianzhu.
If all the 100,000 people are tossed away, the name of the Cao family in Dongtianzhu may be gone.
Even if he barely held on, it was just a short breath.
The end result is to ask for help from others, or ask Zhao Zhen for help.
Then Zhao Zhen reluctantly stuffed another king out and reaped the fruits they had obtained at a huge cost.
Zhao Zhen is not stupid, and he will not fail to see the benefits.
It's so big outside of the Great Song Dynasty, you just have to toss.
The more you toss, the happier I am.
When you are about to toss yourself to death, I will easily turn some of the tumors derived from the Great Song Dynasty into a feudal king and throw them out.
While reaping the fruits of your desperate gains, you will dissolve the cancer within the Great Song Dynasty.
The problems that arose within the Great Song Dynasty could be continuously transferred outward, and the Great Song Dynasty could continue to maintain peace and stability for a long time.
As for the future, the earth will not be divided enough.
There is nowhere to vent the cancer of the Great Song Dynasty.
That's not about Zhao Zhen.
By that time, he would have turned to dust.
Kou Ji saw everything thoroughly, so he warned a few families to accumulate the foundation first, and then seek others.
But apparently there are already people who have been carried away by the so-called treasure land.
Kou Ji couldn't persuade him in a few words, so he simply didn't persuade him.
Let them be.
When they were almost done, Qingguo had all the things he should have, and he was just ready to harvest.
Kou, Di, Liu, and maybe Zhang will be counted in the future, and the four will form an alliance.
The territory of the four families is scattered all over the place, and it doesn't look big.
But together, it's not small.
If we develop together and progress together.
The speed of accumulation will be very fast.
Among the four, except for the Zhang family, they are still in contact with the war.
The remaining three are in a state of peace.
In the territory under the rule of the three families, the population is growing rapidly.
The Di family may be slower.
However, in the territory under the rule of the Kou family and the Liu family, the number of new births is skyrocketing every year.
In the Qing Kingdom governed by the Kou family, almost all the domestic output was tilted towards those newborns, plus the large number of Song people who arrived in Qing at that time, and the women who were guilty of crime liked to marry the Song people, and the Song people had enough wives and concubines, and they were enough to give birth.
The Kou family has spent a huge amount of money and invited many doctors to sit in various parts of Qingguo.
Newborn survival rates are also improving dramatically.
And Xiyang, where the Liu family is located, is almost using all the output of the Japanese to support the newborns of the Song people, and when it is the most ruthless, the life of the Japanese is the life of the newborn.
The resources that a Japanese man desperately obtained to provide for everything a newborn needs to grow up to the age of eighteen.
Under such a crazy operation.
The number of widows in Xiyang is declining sharply at a rate that is visible to the naked eye, but newborns are growing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
The news of the West ** body, the Liu family and his son were reluctant to tell the Kou family.
But Liu Heng once revealed to Kou Ji that there were 60,000 children born to the first batch of widows and the Zhendong Army and Zhennan Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and now they have reached the age of entering school.
From birth to growth to school age, 60,000 children have paid for the lives of nearly 20,000 widows.
The Japanese died either in the desperate labor, in the mines, or on the sea.
The three best-selling specialties of Xiyang today are grain, ore and seafood.
According to Liu Heng, Liu Boxu had already discovered that the further he went, the smaller the place where the Japanese could squeeze.
In a few years, it is very likely that the lives of two widows will be enough to meet the needs of a newborn to grow to the age of eighteen.
The longer the time passes, the higher the proportion is likely to rise.
Anyway, according to Liu Boxu's calculations, twenty years later, I am afraid that there will be no more widows in Xiyang.
It is also possible that the time will be shorter.
Kou Ji felt that Liu Boxu's approach was cruel to the extreme.
But Liu Heng felt that all the cruelty was worth it.
Because according to the calculations of Liu Boxu and his staff group, in twenty years, the number of Song people in Xiyang will reach two million.
Of course, after Liu Heng explained this matter to Kou Ji, he also despised Kou Ji.
Because Kou Ji's approach is similar to Liu Boxu.
It's just that Kou Ji didn't have a bloody stab like Liu Boxu, and he left a way for those female criminals in Qingguo.
And those male criminals are afraid that they will work until they are exhausted.
Although there is not much blood, the end is almost the same, and the effect is the same.
The only difference is that the population of Qingguo exceeded 2 million, which may be half of that of Xiyang.
Because Qingguo invested a lot of money.
Plus Qingguo is on the edge of the Great Song Dynasty.
There are big Song traitors Zhao Zhen and small Song traitors Zhao Run who continue to give people to Qingguo, and the population development of Qingguo will be faster.
After all, Kou Ji has an extra grandson, and Zhao Zhen has sent more than 3,000 people to Kou Ji before and after.
Kou Ji married a daughter, and Zhao Zhen stuffed more than 1,000 people, although Zhao Run didn't stuff people directly, but he took people to Qingguo all day long, and there was always something left.
The most intuitive manifestation of the demographic change in Gyeongkook is that in most cities of Gyeongkook, the Korean language is rarely heard anymore.
Almost nine out of ten people speak Chinese.
Those sinful women who married the Song people are now also speaking Chinese.
If you don't speak Chinese, you can't speak Chinese, and everyone will treat you as an inferior person.
Anyone can bully you.
When it came to the official office, no one cared.
Speaking Chinese is different.
If you speak Chinese, you will be superior, and you will be able to bully those who can't speak Chinese.
Even if you are unreasonable and get into trouble with the government, the government will help you find reason.
Qingguo is such a development background, preparing for the future.
Qingguo did not hide anything from anyone.
Kou Ji even opened his mouth to remind several others, but they didn't appreciate it.
Kou Ji stared at a few gobbling up little guys, and made a final reminder without being salty, "Don't touch the woman anywhere, let alone bring it back."
Otherwise, you can't afford the consequences. ”
Seed Diagnosis, Cao Zhan and the others suddenly put down their food and looked at Kou Ji with their ears on their hands, looking dazed.
"Where is there a problem with the woman?"
Koji smiled evilly, "They have a plague hidden in them. If you don't believe it, you can go to someone and try it, and after you try it, you will know the horror. ”
Seed diagnosis, Cao Zhan is fine, but someone's face has changed.
Seeing this, Kou Ji stood up suddenly, pointed at the guy and scolded, "You idiot, don't appear in my Qingguo in the future, dare to bring those dirty things into my Qingguo, even if I don't want to save face, I will go to Bianjing City, and invite hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to kill your whole family."
You'd better slaughter all the other people who have touched the women in that place, and then light a fire and burn you all. ”
The family whispered that his face turned pale when he heard Kou Ji's words.
Kou Ji stared at the people who had been treated: "The people he touched, you had better not touch them, otherwise you will all die." ”
After saying this, Kou Ji no longer paid attention to them, but said to Kou Tianci: "God, go, leave here, don't have more contact with them in the future, and don't touch the women they have touched, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for killing his relatives with righteousness." ”
Kou Tianci saw that Kou Ji rarely spoke to him in this tone, and immediately realized that his father was serious, so he nodded decisively.
Kou Ji led Kou Tianci out, and when he walked to the door, he turned his back to the doctor and the others: "I took what you gave me, and I will honor the conditions I promised you." ”
After saying this, Kou Ji's father and son completely disappeared in front of several people.
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are away from the pale-faced guy.
"Cao Zhi, Uncle Kou has long said that when you go to sea, no matter where you go, you must control your crotch. I really couldn't control it, so I brought a few women by myself.
I remember that you brought eight concubines, why did you touch those women? ”
"When I crossed the ghost sea, the whole boat died, and I was the only one left......"
"Then you're going to touch the women you shouldn't? You want to kill all of us? No wonder when we got off the boat, Uncle Kou made us wash and wash, soak and soak and soak for an hour before seeing us.
It turned out that he had expected that some of us would be dishonest. ”
He ...... Maybe it's to scare us...... I didn't feel any discomfort......"
“……”
"Even if it's a lie, we have to listen to it seriously."
After a brief silence for a few people, the clinic suddenly spoke.
Several people looked at the clinic in unison.
The doctor said in a deep voice: "Don't look at me like that. Everyone was born in Jiangmen, and some of their ancestors have experienced the plague. Either they met during the war, or there was a plague in the Great Song Dynasty, and they led their troops to exterminate it.
Therefore, all families should know the severity of the plague.
My father experienced the plague before the Jade Gate.
It is said that the plague killed hundreds of thousands of people.
My father said that even if he led the army to rebel, he didn't want to go through such a plague. ”
After a pause, he said with a solemn expression: "What's more, my father said that there was a plague, and Uncle Kou didn't be ruthless to his own people.
Today, he did not hesitate to say that he wanted to kill his relatives in righteousness.
That means that the plague on the women in that place is far more terrifying than what my father experienced in Yumen Pass.
Kou Tianci is Uncle Kou's only son, you should understand the weight of Kou Tianci in Uncle Kou's heart. ”
As soon as these words came out, several people looked at Cao Zhi almost without hesitation, as if to say, you must die.
Cao Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think he is right?" He hadn't been to that place again? ”
Cao Zhan said coldly: "Cao Zhi, don't struggle. Whether he went to that place or not, none of us knows. But there are some things that are clear to all of us.
Tell us that there is a place in the world where he is the man.
Tell us what's on top of that place, and he's the same.
He gave us all the things in the picture books, and they were all in that place.
We found them all one by one.
So, I am afraid that no one in the world knows that place better than him. ”
The implant doctor and the others nodded approvingly.
Cao Zhi stared at everyone with his eyes, "You want me to die?" ”
Cao Zhan said bluntly: "When we went out, we were ready to die. Along the way, there were casualties among people from all over the family, and the number was not small.
You could have lived, but you didn't control your crotch.
So you die, we live.
If you don't die, there's a good chance that all of us will be affected by you.
But one thing I am sure of is that those who beg the Cao family will die before all of us.
We won't do much damage to each of our families, as long as we block all the paths to Liuqiu and kill all those who come out of Liuqiu. ”
Cao Zhi roared angrily: "You listen to him so much? Then why didn't you listen to him when he let our families recuperate? ”
The doctor said coldly: "How old are you, you can't understand what you say?" He has given us all a rest and recuperation for the good of our families.
He wanted us to go back to that place when we had enough strength.
Just because we don't listen to him doesn't mean we don't appreciate it.
We don't listen to him because our families are ready to die.
The riches we enjoy are not free.
It was our fathers and grandparents who exchanged their lives for it.
They have made us rich with their lives, and we have to use our lives to make the next generation rich.
That's how the wealth of the family comes from.
The greater the wealth, the more people will die, and if you don't die now, you will have to die later.
The fate of the dynasties, you will not be incomprehensible.
When the dynasty was prosperous, the children of the clan were constantly killed and wounded.
When the dynasty fell, the children of the clan died more.
The extinctions are innumerable.
Therefore, to enjoy great wealth, you have to make sacrifices.
The consciousness of the sacrifices that our families have already made. ”
Cao Zhi listened to the words of the clinic, his face was a little hideous, and after a long time, he suddenly relaxed and laughed miserably, "You are right...... When I left Liuqiu, the people in my family said that if my Cao family wants to prosper, it must die. I'm not the first, nor will I be the last.
When I went to sea, I had the consciousness of death, and now that I have returned, I am reluctant to die.
I probably think that I haven't died after so many hardships, and God will take care of me.
So I was reluctant to die.
But now it seems that God is not taking care of me. ”
Cao Zhan was silent for a moment and said, "You are at least luckier than the others, because you are back." ”
Cao Zhi smiled bitterly, "Yes...... I am back. So I'm not reconciled. ”
Cao Zhan and the others stared at Cao Zhi without words.
Cao Zhi sat in place, silent for a long time, staring at Cao Zhan and the others, "I will self-immolate...... But I am not the only one who has touched those women, but there are also people in your families.
You can deliver them to me, and I will slaughter them, burn them, and burn myself.
In this way, you owe me a favor.
You have to repay my favors.
I ask you to return my ashes to Liuqiu, and to the gold and precious stones that I have received from that place. ”
Cao Zhan didn't hesitate, nodded and said, "We can also be regarded as having bought a name together." It is as it should be to send your ashes back. You begged the Cao family to make a big effort on this trip, it should be your share of the Cao family, and no one will be greedy.
We have great intentions, and we will not hurt the feelings of each family and destroy the alliance of each family for that little money. ”
Cao Zhi sighed, an ugly smile appeared on his face, "So good......
Cao Zhan and a few people arched their hands to Cao Zhi and prepared to leave.
A few people walked to the door, and Cao Zhi suddenly spoke, "One thing Uncle Kou said is right. If the people are not clean, why should we keep them?
There is no shortage of slaves in our houses, so if those slaves go and kill the unclean, will it be over?
A clean land that is beneficial to all of us.
There are not enough slaves, we can go to the West to catch them, where there are more.
The Zhu family and the Li family also have to be sold.
We want as much as we want.
I didn't control my crotch, and when I was discovered, I confessed.
But you can't guarantee that everyone in the future will be able to control the crotch of their pants, and they will all be found and recognized. ”
Cao Zhan and the others paused and glanced at each other.
The doctor said, "We will tell the family the truth about this matter when we go back." When I send your ashes back to beg, I will also tell your father. ”
Cao Zhi arched his hand and said, "Thank you......"
Cao Zhan pondered for a moment and asked, "What else do you want?" ”
Cao Zhi laughed, "Get me two women, I want to be refreshed before I die." ”
Cao Zhan glared at Cao Zhi, "Those two women have to die with you." ”
Cao Zhi smiled, "I'll play them to death......"
Cao Zhan and the others frowned and did not speak.
Dogs are about to die, and it's normal to go crazy.
If they knew that they were going to die, they would probably be even more crazy by Cao Zhi.
After Cao Zhan and the others left the house, they immediately took action.
In the name of reward, they gathered the people who had touched the women of that place on the boats and handed them over to Cao Zhi.
He also carefully investigated, found Kou Ji, paid some price, and exchanged some herbs for washing and exorcism, and cleaned everyone on the ship.
When the families were frantically purging, Cao Zhi was killing people like crazy.
Kou Ji and Kou Tianci, father and son, hid in the distance to watch the excitement.
Looking at the strange screaming people on the dock who were stung by the lime water from afar, Kou Tianci hesitated for a long time and asked Kou Ji, "Dad, is it a bit of a fuss?" ”
Kou Ji glared at Kou Tianci, "The horror of the plague is beyond your imagination, if I were them, I would even have the ship washed again." ”
Kou Tianci stared at Kou Ji and asked, "Is it so terrifying?" ”
Kou Ji snorted, "Is it that scary? I'm afraid it's scarier than you think. ”
