The fruit of killing life

Chapter 139 Spreading Dharma Food Widely, Encountering Hongying on the Road

Clap la la.
There is a boundless turbid current tumbling in the Luoshui, and from time to time you can see broken vegetation, dilapidated straw mats, and even bloated corpses of humans and animals.

In this seemingly unsteady wave, a small boat with a canopy is riding the waves all the way down the river.

You must know that in this world, it is very dangerous to travel alone by water.

Most people in this world have treacherous hearts, if they are alone with no companions and their money is exposed, then the boatman will inevitably have a motive for money, and it is easy to seek money and kill him on the boat.

At that time, the waters will be vast, and there will be no way to escape.

After killing someone, sinking into the water, there is no one who can cry out for this poor fellow.

Because the cost of crime is too low and the profit of crime is too great, many people will take risks.

Cars, boats, shops, feet, and teeth should be killed if they are innocent. In this world, it is really not an alarmist statement.

The reason why the government did not allow those yachtsmen and Baishuilang to go ashore was mainly based on this consideration.

Peasants would be firmly tied to the land, while yachts would come and go, making it impossible to manage.

Simply prohibit them from going ashore, to prevent these people from becoming water bandits who come and go, who specialize in crimes.

This boat, however, was markedly different.

Standing on the bow of the boat was a young official who was as tall and straight as a towering green pine. The strong wind blowing across the river made a fierce noise in his black official robe.

Especially the [苗虎] with its fangs and claws on its body, which conceals the power of wind, thunder and sky, like a living thing.

It was Wang Yuan and Wang Qianshan on the way to his post.

He was dressed in the official robe of the captain of the Forbidden Curse, and the golden tiger-headed knife hung on his waist, which added a third of the mighty look to the already heroic young man.

When other boats saw it, they all avoided it.

Obviously.

With the intimidation of this official skin, let alone a boatman who is motivated by money, even those ghosts with average skills, the first thing to think about is how to save their own lives.

Of course, Wang Yuan would not recruit any mortal boatmen to board the majestic Yinshan Daoist when he was traveling.

Instead, he directly arrested a few water ghosts, let them tread water under the boat, and pushed the boat forward at high speed. Their skills were infinitely superior to those of any human boatman.

At this time, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly sounded from behind:

"It's just outside the range of Luoyang, and it's going to rain again soon. No wonder the water in the river hasn't slowed down much."

When Wang Yuan turned his head, he saw Huang Wu and Tao Xianniang kneeling on the cushions in the canopy, cooking tea with a small clay stove in the middle.

They have a phoenix flower, a golden red skirt, bare feet like lotus, pretty and lovely;

Heart can not help but sigh.

This pair of stunning twins, even if they just do nothing every day, they can still be happy physically and mentally, so they can live for another two years.

He explained to Huang Wu in his mouth:

"There is no way.

The area covered by the "Dragon Qi Law" is so large now, except for a few core towns, what should the other places look like and still look like.

No, I'm afraid it will be even more miserable than before.

And this time we have to face not only floods, droughts, and locust plagues.
After the 'Dragon Qi Law Forbidden' retreats, I am afraid that even the lowest level of wandering spirits can run amok in the countryside in an open manner, and [weird] needless to say.

Many demon heretics may not realize this yet.

This is why Yulong needs to go straight to fill the vacancy, so as to prevent the situation from getting out of hand.

Otherwise, the transfer order from the Captain's Mansion wouldn't be so urgent, and we are limited to rush to the station within ten days. "

Even if he is not in the center, with the help of his [Dique Golden Book]'s keen sense of "Dragon Qi Law Forbidden", Wang Yuan can easily come to a close judgment.

[Food Grains] At least some of them succeeded, but they only concentrated on the fertile lands at the core of the entire dynasty, completely abandoning large areas of backcountry.

Nowhere is this more evident than in travelers who travel long distances.

Ever since Wang Yuan and his party left Luoyang City, the prefectural city, the rainy weather has gradually revealed its original power.

Maybe it won't be a little better until the next Shang County.

Huang Wu still retains the innocence of a young girl. After listening to Wang Yuan's analysis of the current situation, she can't help feeling aggrieved for those people who were abandoned:

"How can the imperial court do this? This retreat is not only to seek peace from natural disasters and evil spirits, but also to drive the people living in those places to a dead end!"

Wang Yuan sat beside her and patted her slender shoulder lightly.

"Did you forget? We discussed a similar issue in the past.

Why was the Central Dynasty never keen on expanding its territory?
This is because, for the ruler of an agricultural empire, those lands that can support the population and have a surplus are the foundation of the country, and everything else is "barren land"!
But now, those places are barren lands in another sense. "

As the people of Yan Han, many people have a stereotyped impression that the central dynasty is too weak, and the entire history of the nation is a history of large-scale invasions.

however.

We need to know that at the beginning, this was just a small tribe located in the turbidity current basin.

But after being "beaten" for thousands of years, the size of this country has been getting bigger and bigger.

From the plateau in the west, to the desert in the north, to the sea in the east, and to Qiongzhou in the south, this territory has expanded more than a thousand times?
In fact, the Yan Han people have been expanding their territories to the outside world since the beginning of their civilization.

It's just that they are used to pick and choose, and only those lands that are most suitable for farming and can generate value will have the desire to be included in the territory.

If the output is not abundant, it will only cause the central dynasty to reversely transfuse blood to the local area. Unless it has great military value, the gain will not be worth the loss.

In fact, to this day.

The Central Dynasty almost completely occupied all the farming areas suitable for farming, the most fertile land, and the most livable cities in Chixian Shenzhou.

Outside the territory of the Celestial Dynasty, there are either tropical rainforests prone to diseases, high mountains in bitter cold deserts, vast seas, or impassable plateaus.

The price to be paid to conquer such an area is too great, and the rewards are very limited.

The heart of the monarchs and ministers to expand the territory gradually died down.

So far, it has already become the pinnacle of the agricultural empire.

Probably only after the arrival of industrial civilization, those seemingly worthless lands will become popular again.

Modern people use the perspective of industrial civilization to accuse the ancestors of the agricultural civilization era of prodigal, but they don't know that at that time, this was the most beneficial choice for the survival of the nation.

As for now, the rulers have obviously started another round of "choosing".

The problem of dragon energy, the problem of weirdness, the problem of evil spirits. Taken together, they are all economic problems in essence, at least at the level of the dynasty.

"But this kind of ruling method that treats people as numbers and is completely based on utilitarianism is too cold-blooded.

The evil spirits cannibalize people strangely, and the rulers don't treat the people as human beings.

'Dragon Qi Law Ban' is rooted in people's willpower, and those people who have been protected all the time are obviously the emperor and those dignitaries!

Is there no way to solve this problem? "

Huang Wu has been influenced by Wang Yuan's thoughts since she was a child, and she has the most resonance in cognition, and her knowledge in some aspects is even far superior to those so-called elders in the center.

She understood what Wang Yuan said, but it was difficult to accept it emotionally for a while.

Essentially still a child.

The Tao Xianniang who heard this "fat and thin" theory for the first time next to her was full of brilliance in her eyes.

She has a deep grasp of people's hearts, although she has never heard of this kind of theory that completely abandons the method of divine passage and only explains the facts from the perspective of benefits and losses.

But I feel that after removing all appearances, the essence of the matter is very likely to be like this!
I was even more shocked in my heart.

In addition to treating him as her master and God, Tao Xianniang is still the original witch in essence, full of scheming, means, and ambition.

I couldn't help but secretly said in my heart:

"With the [Tianbu Taoism] in hand, coupled with this vision and insight, maybe the master of the law can really build some unworldly achievements in the troubled times!"

woof woof.
At this moment, Lao Hei who was lying on the stern of the boat suddenly barked wildly at the muddy water.

The three of them turned their heads and saw that there were a large number of male corpses floating on the river in the distance.

And looking at the dilapidated armor on their bodies, Wang Yuan immediately recognized their identities.

"This is the [Baihu Ruishi] who left the city yesterday?!

How could they all die here? "

Wang Yuan immediately took out three sticks of incense sticks and a bowl of raw rice from the [Wanxiangfu Treasure Bag].

Lit the incense stick and stuck it in the stern of the boat, and then imagined a table of banquets in his mind, and with a breath of fresh air in his chest, he suddenly sprayed it on the raw rice.

call--!
Where the smoke is filled and the fresh air is blowing, the original bowl of raw rice has turned into a huge banquet at this moment, with fish, meat, chicken and wine, at least seventeen or eight dishes.

It is the most basic ability of the "Yin Mountain Way" - Dharma water washing and training, Dharma food offering.

Ghosts before reaching the "refining shape" can't eat human food at all, but can only enjoy this kind of special Dharma food.

With a mournful cry.

A group of lonely and wild ghosts rushed to the stern of the boat, without saying a word, they grabbed the food and ate it.

"Master, their souls have obviously suffered heavy injuries, although they didn't lose their souls immediately, but it's not far behind.

We may not be able to ask anything from these ghosts. "

"Forget it then, let's treat these brothers to a full meal."

Wang Yuan was not too disappointed, so he planned to send these lonely ghosts to the underworld after eating.

however.

When he saw the only woman among the group of ghosts, he was startled and got up abruptly.

"This is Nie Hongying, Nie Renxiong's younger sister?
A [Tao general] also died?

No, there is only one soul here!Her three souls and seven souls have all been dispersed? "
