It was only after the two golden warriors of the Chidong Empire talked about it that they realized that it turned out that the Chidong Empire was not invaded by the northern countries or other countries. It was the Chidong Empire itself that forced them away.
In the final analysis, this matter is related to dark magic. The empress of the Chidong Empire did not hesitate to dabble in dark magic in order to be powerful. However, she did not hide and learn secretly like warriors from other countries. Instead, she made it public and allowed and encouraged those warriors to use dark magic.
If this is the case alone, Diao Si thinks there is no problem. He now allows but does not encourage soldiers to learn dark magic, because in his opinion, being strong is enough, and the method used has no impact.
The problem is that after the empress of the Chidong Empire used dark magic, her temperament suddenly changed, she became cruel and ruthless, and her ambitions grew. She even joined forces with the ocean empire to invade surrounding countries, despite the opposition of many generals.
And this was just the beginning. As the war broke out, Queen Chidong became more and more ambitious and her methods became more and more cruel. Because marine creatures eat meat and drink blood, in order to gain their support, she also ordered some creatures and even humans to be used to support them.
These powerful sea creatures are not so easy to support, because their appetite is too large. When the perverted Empress Chidong could not satisfy them, she even put the warriors of the Chidong Empire who opposed her on the dining table of those sea creatures. .
However, this escape team came to Green Hidden City not because they opposed Queen Chidong, but because they lost a battle with the Blazing Empire and were worried that they would be punished for supporting marine life after returning. On the run.
This seemingly perverted Chidong Empire is actually not surprising. Diao Si already knows the dangers of dark magic, and he was once troubled by it. But what Diao Siwei didn't understand was the appearance of the sea monster, which seemed very unreasonable.
The first is why they can move freely on land. According to the situation on the earth, there is basically no overlap between marine life and land life. It was only in modern times and after humans became stronger that they began to threaten the survival of marine life.
Could it be that the marine life in this world is very powerful and wants to dominate the world like humans on earth? But how is it possible that they can all move freely on land? Even for amphibious animals, it’s not easy to adapt when moving from the ocean to land, right
Thinking of this, Diao Si recalled the situation of the demon army that Elder Hongzhang had mentioned when he was first summoned to this world. The demon army became more and more like creatures of the sea, but what made Diao Si suspicious was that at that time He had seen those "demon armies" from a distance. They seemed to be black shadows and did not look like sea creatures.
But thinking about these things now is still too far away. Diao Si believes that he will be able to understand these problems in the future. At present, Green Hidden City is too weak and cannot do anything at all. It is better to think about the development plan first.
In addition to the long-term war between the northern countries, the Empire of Light in the south and the countries around the central Sabei Desert are also gradually entering a state of war, and the war can spread to the Blazing Empire at any time.
This is a good thing for Luyin City and Diao Si, because on the one hand, when they all go to war, the remote place of Luyin City will have room for development; on the other hand, if those countries continue to fight like this, both sides will suffer losses. , this is a fisherman's profit for Diao Si.
This welcome banquet was held for a long time. Finally, the two golden warriors from the Gas Empire stood up and loudly swore allegiance to Diao Si and Green Hidden City. The scene became even more lively.
Finally, another thing on his mind was finished, but the work here was still crowded, and Diao Si had no chance to breathe. Now he could only pick out the key things to do, and handed over everything that could be left to the dwarves.
Just thinking about what to do next is a very annoying thing, because there are too many important tasks. Sometimes when Diao Si has thought about something and is about to do it, he remembers that there are still other things to do. More important things must be done immediately.
After thinking about it for a while, he realized that he had spent most of his energy on military and national defense recently and neglected the economy. In this way, he quickly thought of one thing. When he announced the market economy plan some time ago, he was fiercely opposed by Zuo Rui, and the matter has been shelved until now.
This is a big problem, because now Zuo Rui and Mai Li control most of the business in the entire Green Hidden City, and the market economy plan seriously affects his interests, so of course he will oppose it.
Zuo Rui is a very business-savvy guy. Sometimes even those dwarves can't think of him, because dwarves focus on theoretical analysis and don't have as much experience as Zuo Rui, especially in terms of human relations. He even has a deep relationship with Mai Li. .
So Diao Si has a difficult choice. Zuo Rui is his old minister and he doesn't want to offend him, but market economy is an inevitable choice for production development. Zuo Rui has indeed built up the economy, but this development can only reach a certain point. stage.
Diao Si also has a very important purpose in developing the market economy in this way, which is to mobilize the enthusiasm of everyone in Luyin City, because now the soldiers in Luyin City are working hard, but civilians other than soldiers are becoming more and more passive.
This is because soldiers have honors and titles, and they all have ideals and hope for progress. But those ordinary people do not have this opportunity. Although Diao Si can make them have enough food and clothing and live a much better life than before, the problem is that they do not have a YY direction.
Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. People will compare. Everyone must be able to see hope and have their own direction of efforts. Only in this way can the overall situation be stabilized. Just like the imperial examination system on earth, this hope is very important.
Therefore, we can't just take the path of warriors. We must let all civilians have the hope of getting rich and becoming the upper class of society. Only in this way can Green Hidden City develop stably in the long term.
Thinking of this, Diao Si decided to take action against Zuo Rui. He first studied this issue with Lute and the dwarves, and then asked Yuli to reveal some information to Zuo Rui first.
The relationship between Youli and Zuo Rui has been a bit ambiguous recently. They were enemies in the past. Of course, Diao Si really hopes that their relationship can have a breakthrough, because Youli is very loyal to Diao Si. In this world where women are superior to men, men usually follow their wives.
So early the next morning, Diao Si made a surprise attack on Zuo Rui, ordered him to be taken to the council hall of Green Hidden City, and then asked the prepared dwarves to start arguing with him.
Diao Si usually would not be directly involved in such occasions, because if he argued with Zuo Rui, it would cause a direct conflict between them. And if these are handed over to the parliament, no matter how coercive measures are taken against Zuo Rui, it will only be a conflict between the parliament and him, and Diao Si can handle it appropriately when the time comes.
Just when Diao Si was worried about whether Zuo Rui would use his power again to unite with his chamber of commerce to oppose, he didn't expect Zuo Rui to accept it quickly this time. However, this guy is not an easy man. He put forward a series of conditions to protect his interests.
Zuo Rui is smart. He knows that the person behind this matter who really wants to move him is Diao Si. Diao Si will not be willing to accept it if he disobeys. Therefore, being obedient and seeking some conditions is the best solution for him.
No matter what, since Zuo Rui had agreed, he had to stabilize his heart first, so Diao Si readily agreed to his excessive conditions, and the matter was over for now.
But not long after Zuo Rui left, when Diao Si and the dwarves were studying ways to deal with Zuo Rui's conditions, they suddenly received an alert from the watchtower intelligence team, so Diao Si rushed over immediately.
I originally wanted to vigorously develop the economy, but it seems that this matter has to be put on hold for now. While climbing up the watchtower, Diao Si wondered if another group of enemies of the Chidong Empire had arrived from the north, because since Queen Chidong was so cruel, such fleeing troops would continue to appear.
But when he arrived at the intelligence team, he learned that the threat this time did not come from the north. To the east, the Blazing Empire has sent troops, and there are quite a lot of them. It seems that Diao Si's previous letter did not work, and the Blazing Empire might even attack Green Hidden City.
There is nothing worse than this, because the Blazing Empire can now be said to be the largest empire in the entire continent. The size of the army is millions. It is impossible for Green Hidden City to use force against them. The trouble this time is not ordinary. . (To be continued)
