Chapter 240: The Former Wolf and the Tiger

Tian Xian asked for a pen and paper, and quickly wrote.

It only took three or five minutes from beginning to end, and the two-page building was written in a wave of the day, and it was pushed in front of the Sha King's eyes.

The sand king was very surprised to pick up the things that Tianxian had written, but when he looked at it like this, he frowned slightly, what are these things?

When Tian Xian was feeling that he still had such a talent, he suddenly found that Sha Wang's thin eyebrows were all twisted together, and he immediately realized the problem, laughing and scratching his head, "This, careless for a while, this is still my habit of writing before, you wait a minute." ”

According to the habits of the old Chinese medicine prescribed, ordinary people can't understand it, not because they can't understand the prescription, but because they can't understand the words at all, and the prescription is a magical information document that is completely independent of the world.

I wrote a new one, and Tianxian handed it over to the sand king again.

This time, the text is clear and powerful, and it also reveals a bit of youthful flying, and Sha Wang couldn't help but light up when he got it in his hand, "What a beautiful word." ”

"Haha!" Tian Xian laughed not modestly at all, "It's okay, it's okay...... Aha!"

His eyes quickly swept over the idle Jianyi twice, and the sand king frowned again: "High salary, low salary, rich and ...... people."

Blinking, the sand king looked at Tianxian for help, obviously not understanding what this meant.

Tian Xian took out a serious expression, "Since Dore's rebellion is not accidental, it means that there are many people who are dissatisfied with the huge wealth of the Sand King at the beginning, so what you have to do now is to share ......"

The Sand King thought for himself, "Can ...... Do you want me to give the wealth of the royal family to others? In that case......"

"That's how Dore's rebellion came about. ”

The sand king fell silent after listening to Tianxian's words.

"I have carefully seen the life of the desert people in the Golden City these days, except for those powerful warriors, ordinary soldiers and ordinary people live in poverty, this city is full of gold, but there is no piece of it that belongs to them, we eat fine food here, and the vast majority of your people are suffering from hunger. ”

"You have to understand that it is not your 400,000 Shalit warriors who support the entire desert. It's more of a poor ordinary people. They gather water, deliver food, build houses, and provide you with many services. They are the founders of this empire. ”

"But......" Tianxian's words made the Sand King a little uneasy. "But we are the rulers. I must make my people fear me, I must be stronger and richer. Take control of a qiē!"

"Do you trust me now because I'm stronger, richer, or do you have more control over the desert?"

The sand king was stunned by the question.

Tian Xian continued: "These inconspicuous ordinary people who are oppressed by the rulers as the bottom of the empire are the largest part of the empire, and you should also be soberly aware of where are your 400,000 soldiers, their parents, and their relatives, and where are they selected, you should think carefully, where is the fundamental foundation of the empire?"

The Sand King was completely stunned.

After carefully reading the written Jianyi again, Sha Wang's eyes slowly lit up, "Is this the case, is this the case? Father's approach, no! is there something wrong with what we have always done?"

Raising his head suddenly, the sand king screamed and pounced, Tian Xian was taking a small bite to eat, and was knocked down by the cold, and the two rolled on the ground and turned around a few times, and finally hit a stone.

Fortunately, Tianxian's head was hard enough, and he knocked out a few cracks in the stone, but he was fine.

The sand king was overjoyed, hugged Tianxian's head and kissed him three times, jumped up and ran happily, and disappeared at the garden gate in a blink of an eye, "I'm going to look for you tomorrow morning!"

Tianxian wiped the saliva from his face, looked at the rockery that was damaged behind him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is simply murder.

Waiting until dawn, the sand king invited Tianxian and his party to have breakfast early this time, and before he finished eating, he called Tianxian to the garden to enjoy the flowers, and this time even the eyes of outsiders no longer avoided.

It was still yesterday's small garden, and as soon as he arrived here, the sand king immediately sat down on his seat, and felt in his clothes for a long time before carefully touching out the paper and pen that he had collected close to him, "Come and see! The new decree I drafted last night!"

Tianxian took it and took a look, and suddenly sweated a little.

In just one night, this little girl wrote more than a dozen pages of new decrees that were densely packed with small characters.

"The Great Grant of Amnesty...... Reduction of the size of the army...... Build a sand food field...... Divide the kings...... "The sky is idle and look down one by one, and the more you look down, the more frightened you become."

Yesterday's construction of the Sha Wang is actually very simple, "high salaries and honesty, hiding wealth from the people" similar policies of governing the country, at the beginning of the TV every day, Tian Xian does not know how to do the specific to be regarded as a high salary and honesty, hiding wealth from the people, but these policies have been tested in practice, and they are truly outstanding and effective methods of governing the country.

I haven't eaten pork, so naturally I've seen Zhu Run, and I've written out what I remember, this is the construction that Tianxian handed over to the sand king yesterday. The meaning of Tianxian is actually very simple, that is, as a monarchical dictatorship of the empire, obviously the previous generation of sand kings was too harsh, and it is understandable that he monopolized the power, but he also holds all the wealth in his hands, most of the people are very poor, and the soldiers who are disabled in combat are also dying in pain, obviously he does not care about people's livelihood issues.

But Tianxian felt that his construction would stop there, he didn't have the talent to govern the country, but what he didn't expect was that the king of sand took those rough constructions and wrote so many new decrees and codes in just one night.

The Sand King's face was hard to hide, obviously she didn't sleep well yesterday, but her eyes were shining, "I thought about it for a long time yesterday, and I think what you said is safe and correct! Our desert is so vast, and the reason why it has been able to stand for so many years is not all our sharp scimitars, but a steady stream of food, as well as water that is constantly being excavated, and it is a small oasis that is protected by ordinary people!"

The more she spoke, the more excited she became, "We have infinite wealth! But we have very little food and water." This is the fundamental problem that makes life difficult for our people, and the wealth that is piled up there is no different from ordinary sand, but if it can be put into the hands of many people and exchanged for food and other things, then the desert will prosper, and we can even buy back saplings to strengthen the oasis, and if everyone becomes rich, not tormented by hunger and thirst, and the wounded soldiers can live comfortably, then ...... I created such a desert for me. Why is there still opposition?"

Look at the eyes that sparkle brightly. A pair of exotic eyes like two flames of the sand king, Tian Xian couldn't help nodding, this little girl may be a natural leader.

People-based. Or something like communist unity. These ideas are really nothing in modern society. It even feels old-fashioned and boring, but on a continent that has never had such a precedent. In a world where imperial rule prevails, such an idea is completely unprecedented.

"I can show others that I am not harsh, that I give my wealth to my people, that the remnants of Dole will disappear forever, and if they still want to resist, they will find that no one wants to follow them anymore, because they can't give what I can to my people!"

As he spoke, the Sand King suddenly screamed with joy and pounced again.

This time Tian Xian was already prepared, his arm stretched out, and he suddenly pressed the excited little face, Sha Wang waved his limbs, but she was a small person, with short arms and short legs, how could she be idle.

After pounced left and right twice, he was stopped by Tian Xian, and the sand king sat back stupidly, pursed his mouth and muttered: "Stingy ......"

Tianxian couldn't help but feel a little funny when he looked at her, and continued to look at the decrees and regulations that she rushed out overnight, and suddenly froze when he turned to the last page, "What does this mean?"

The sand king glanced sideways, snorted, and did not speak.

Tian Xian was helpless, "Okay, don't be angry, you are a ruler of the desert, what does it look like to always pounce on others, come and explain to me what these last few clauses mean?"

The child was angry without warning, but he was inexplicably happy, the sand king looked at Tianxian's pleading face, and immediately smiled, lifted his small stool and put it beside Tianxian, and sat down with Tianxian, only then took the last page of the decree, shook his head and read: "This desert has experienced a catastrophe, Tianxian and other foreign nobles have helped the king to clear the rebellion, and it is very ......"

The sand king glanced at Tianxian proudly, and continued to read: "Reward fifty hills of land, guard the border passes, and give the number: dust!"

After reading it, the sand king smiled, took the decree in his hand, and pointed his chin to the sky, "How is it?

Tian Xian unceremoniously took the decree and turned her raised little head back, "People are big ghosts! I asked you what you mean, and I didn't ask you to read it to me." ”

"It's to make you a big official!" the sand king chuckled, "You see, you have a fief and guard the border passes, in fact, you are admitting that your current broken city is a reasonable place, and we will not go to the trouble there again, and we will protect that place." ”

Only then did Tianxian understand, "Is that so?"

The Sand King raised his nose again, "How about it?

"So, how big is this fifty hills?"

"Fifty sand dunes! many times bigger than your current ruined city!"

"And what about this name?"

The Sand King smiled and said proudly: "I came up with it, the edge of the desert is the junction of sand and dirt, neither yellow sand nor black soil, that is, the "dust" in between! So you will be the sand and dust general of the border pass of the Shalit Empire in the future! How about it! Very powerful, right?"

I looked at the Sand King, "Thank me!" I smiled and scratched the tip of her nose, "I'm not a citizen of the desert, where did you come up with so many ghost ideas."

The sand king, who was shaved his nose, slapped Tian Xian twice in annoyance, pouted and snatched the decree and turned around, "Don't forget it, anyway, no one else knows now, hum!

This guy was shrewdly talking about how to rule the country just now, and in a blink of an eye, the little girl's temper was aroused, and Tianxian couldn't cry or laugh at it, so he had to turn her small body back before he wanted to speak, but he was stunned to find that the sand king had tears in his eyes.

quickly wiped away his tears, and the sand king turned around angrily.

Tian Xian suddenly thought. Now, this little girl, who is only nine years old, has to carry the entire empire and the entire vast desert on her back, and now she may not even have a person to talk to.

She is fledgling, sitting on this lonely throne, I don't know what kind of coldness and loneliness it is. Maybe she can be considered a friend of hers.

Tian Xian scratched his head, "Since you want to give me something, can I order anything else." ”

The Sand King was obviously a little surprised, and immediately turned his head curiously, "You want anything else." What do you want?"

Tian Xian couldn't help but laugh. After all, it was the little girl's nature, and she turned her head around with a word, and coughed twice at the moment, "Since you have so much gold here." Why don't you send me some? This gold may not be of much use to you. But it's useful for me. ”

The sand king immediately showed disdain and muttered, "I thought it was something, but it turned out to be asking for money." Hmph, whatever, in this golden city, you can move whatever you can, as long as you can take it away, I will not stop it. ”

"I'm afraid that the gold is useless. ”

The sand king was stunned, "You...... Do you want mixed gold sand?"

"Of course. ”

"What do you want to do with that?" the Sand King looked much more wary, "it's a very rare golden sand, with incredible power. ”

"I need a little special material to build something, and this sand seems to be quite suitable." ”

The Sand King frowned, thought for a while and then said a little reluctantly: "Okay, if you really want it, even if it is our treasure, I can give it to you, but only this once, not the next one." ”

As he spoke, the sand king unconsciously raised his chin slightly.

Tian Xian almost laughed, although she pretended to be very sad, but the pair of eyes that were always looking at her expression betrayed her, obviously this little girl still wanted to let herself thank her.

"Thank you, Lord Shawang!" Tian Xian simply bent down and made a big salute.

The sand king smiled almost immediately, but at the moment when Tian Xian raised his head, he immediately tightened his face, and these details naturally could not escape Tian Xian's observation, but made Tian Xian secretly laugh breathlessly.

"If Lord Sand King has nothing else to do, then I'm going to leave with my gifts. ”

The sand king was stunned, "You...... Are you still leaving?"

"Well, of course I'm leaving, because there's still something to do, and I'm grateful for the city you've given me, and those refugees finally have a place to sacrifice, but you should understand that even then I won't stay there. ”

The sand king looked at Tianxian's gentle but resolute eyes, and for a while he wanted to speak and stopped, bit his lip, and suddenly fell silent.

"Are you, is there anything else you want to tell me?" asked Tian Xian.

The Sand King twisted his fingers slightly, frowning silently.

"I don't have to go!" Tianxian stood up.

"Wait!"

"Is there anything else to do with Lord Shawang?" asked Tianxian with a wink of his eyes and curiosity.

The Sand King seemed to be a little difficult to speak, and the expression on his little face suddenly became complicated.

"No, I'm really leaving. "It's idle to raise your feet.

"Wait, I'...... I said!" "The Sand King hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of Tianxian's coat.

Tianxian sat down again, and the sand king was extremely embarrassed, rubbing his fingers, and his body kept twisting and saying, "Yes...... It's about the sword. ”

Tian Xian thought to himself, and sure enough, this was the case.

In the past half a month, the Sand King has been busy consolidating her position as the leader in everyone's hearts, and her daily schedule is full, either to meet with the important ministers of the desert or to meet many people, or to stay in the palace to deal with the bad impact of the Dole rebellion, it can be said that she is very busy, even if she meets herself, most of them are public occasions such as banquets, and most of the decisions related to the future of the desert are made.

As for the Great Sword of the Wasteland, this treasure of the desert seems to have been forgotten by the Sand King.

In the first place, it was she who explained exactly where the sword came from and what it meant to the desert that she decided to help her, and there must have been a reason why she had ignored it these days, but she had tried to keep herself from leaving.

"I know it's pointless to say that you want to go back to the sword right now. The Sand King's tone looked a little weak, "No one can use that sword, even if you move it, if you don't do it, I won't be able to swing that sword, for that sword, it seems to be ...... The desert is not its home, but only its temporary abode. ”

Sighing softly, the Sand King's tone calmed down, "But for the desert, it is a vital preservation, with it there is a desert, and it is also because of it that the desert has ushered in the catastrophe, and now whether it can stay in the desert or not, we will face an unprecedented predicament, and at this time you appeared, took this sword, I think...... Perhaps this is some hint of fate, I think...... You can help us. ”

The Sand King's eyes were full of anticipation, thoughtful considerations that did not match her age, with a little helplessness and pleading.

Tian Xian thought for a moment, "At the beginning, you said that this sword began to be restless and began to attract the giant ice in the north to invade the edge of the desert, why do you now say that whether this sword stays in the desert or not, it will face disaster." ”

"Because the meaning of this sword to the desert is...... Balance!"

"Balance?"

The Sand King took out a map from his arms, "This is a map of the desert, one of our treasures, after you have seen it, you must not talk about this map to outsiders." ”

Tianxian nodded, Shawang spread out the map, and suddenly a map drawn with many color lines appeared in front of Tianxian's eyes, especially on the border, there were many multi-colored lines, and in some places even an outline was repeatedly drawn with more than a dozen colors, with a large span.

Pointing to the northern border, the Sand King said solemnly: "Every line was once the edge of the desert. ”

The edge line of the northern border has many layers, and the outermost and innermost regions are very different, and if you roughly calculate, it may even be hundreds of miles.

"This?"

"When the power of the dust increases, the desert expands, and when it weakens, the northern ice sheet invades the desert, which is the edge trace recorded by our ancestors over thousands of years, and the facts show that the power of the dust fluctuates in an orderly manner, but this time it ......"

The desert pointed to a line in the outermost part of the border, this line was obviously newly drawn, "The power of the desolate dust has fluctuated violently, it has increased unprecedentedly, and even the whole desert can feel its restlessness, it first melted the cold ice in the north, and the cold water river appeared in the northern desert, this is the first time in the desert." ”

"This ...... It's not pretty good. "It's even stranger," the desert lacks water. ”

"Indeed, if it is just like this, there is nothing wrong with it, but ......" The Sand King pointed to a line on the border of the map, which was far away from the periphery and was the innermost border line, which seemed to be newly drawn.

"The power of the desolate dust melted the ice, but in a short period of time, the giant ice of the ice field collapsed, and the ice that was even bigger than the Golden City poured into the desert like a sandstorm, and the desert in that area has completely disappeared......"

Tian Xian was stunned.

"This sword will move the ice of the ice field to cover the entire desert, but if it is gone, the cold wind of the ice field will completely freeze the desert, now ...... That's what we're facing!" (To be continued......)
