Chapter 1236 The Taoist Built a New City, and the Two Tribes Became Suspicious of Each Other
Seeing the disciples of Yiqi Sect, and the familiar Taoist robes, long sleeves and fluttering coats, Wu Yi hesitated for a long time, and finally pretended not to see them and turned away. Now is not the time to meet. His interests and theirs do not completely overlap.
With the efforts of the Taoist sect, a city was built on this snowy land. The Taoists named it "New City", which was extremely simple. However, the word "new" was interpreted by the Taoists as "old land and new return".
Before the land and sea disaster in the upper realm, the land where the Daji Dynasty was located was the western part of the original land. Because of the loss of spiritual energy and the flood of death in the catastrophe, it was split by the powerful. It was because of the departure of the immortals that the human world appeared.
Now because of a blizzard, the human forces have withdrawn, and the Taoist forces have once again established their own strength on this land, openly, note, openly. How can these people not be overwhelmed and excited and unable to restrain themselves.
Although it is only a small part of the frontier, it is the first step in thousands of years, heralding the return of the rule of the immortal way. Just like raising a big flag in the chaos of the army, the scattered monks were all affected and successively broke away from the human system and participated in the construction of the new city.
The secrets of heaven are becoming more and more chaotic, and the situation is becoming more and more turbulent, but this is not necessarily a bad thing.
The Taoist sect has spent a lot of effort to build a series of magic arrays, so it is naturally impossible for others to use them for free. Many restrictions must be added. Apart from other things, the right to enter and exit the array cannot be granted lightly. If the wrong people are let in, it will be a disaster.
However, Wu Yi and others are all Taichu Jinxian cultivation. With the joint efforts of several fierce beasts, even Taiyi Shangxian may not be unable to fight. Therefore, these restrictions naturally cannot stop Wu Yi and others, and they just broke out.
Sensing the breath of Wu Yi and others, the Taoists did not try to catch up, but stepped up the improvement of the array to prevent similar things from happening in the future.
In a snowstorm, the Great Emperor conquered the northern tribes, the people returned to their hearts, and his prestige was boundless. He began to expand, and the immortal way also took the opportunity to replace the human way and build his own rule.
Wu Yi began to suspect that this snowstorm was a little unusual, but there was no evidence, just suspicion, and it would be difficult to find the so-called evidence in the foreseeable future.
However, the truth was not important to Wu Yi. What was important was the impact of this series of events on the situation of this world. Both the human way and the immortal way were becoming stronger. There would be a war in the future. How should he stand? Must he stand on the immortal way?
Even if he had to stand on the immortal way, when to stand on the side was a craft, and it was very particular!
Finally, it is worth mentioning that the Great Emperor moved most of the northern tribes to the south and disrupted their residence, mainly near the military camp, so that even if there was a riot, it would be easy to suppress it nearby.
However, no matter where you put them, there is one thing that cannot be avoided, that is, the issue of land distribution.
The problem of large-scale resource consumption caused by population growth had already begun to emerge during the reign of the last emperor, Emperor Hui.
Now that so many "outsiders" have been accepted, food can be transported from all over the country to ensure that they will not rebel. What about the future? Will blood be drawn to feed these people?
After a piece of land is occupied by swords and horses, it is not foolproof. It is better to have a scholarly atmosphere and power distribution.
In order to promote the integration between the two ethnic groups, the emperor recruited famous teachers to preach and teach the people of the tribe and advocate the change of customs. On the other hand, he specially carried out many large-scale water conservancy projects nearby and recruited people from the tribe to build them. It can be regarded as relief by work and not supporting lazy people.
The original intention of the emperor was to promote the integration of the two ethnic groups and eliminate the hatred and hostility of the people for thousands of years. All these measures were well-intentioned and carefully designed.
However, many people really have no overall view, which also shows that it is not an easy thing to eliminate the hatred between thousands of years in a short time.
First of all, let's talk about the matter of recruiting famous teachers to preach and teach the people of the tribe. After receiving the order, some so-called scholars and Confucian scholars openly refuted it, saying that it was aiding the enemy and that they would retreat. Some even tore up the imperial edict, which was extremely bad.
The emperor was furious when he heard it, and killed several people ruthlessly before letting these people go. However, the emperor's reputation was also ruined because of this matter. These scholars who were forced to go to teach not only failed to bridge the contradictions between the two tribes, but also showed contempt and disdain during the lectures, which increased the hatred between the two sides.
As for the change of customs, the emperor originally intended to make a free decision, and it didn't matter if he didn't want to change it. The purpose was to influence people subtly and silently.
However, when the order was issued to the local area, some people were selfish and intended to retaliate against these former enemies. They forced them to change their clothes. If they didn't want to change, they would lynch them, which also greatly intensified the contradictions. As a result, the emperor came forward to kill a group of people to calm the anger of the people of the tribe.
Finally, let's talk about the method of using work for relief. Money is not blown by the wind. It is given to you because you are suffering at the moment. Using work for relief can also enhance the self-confidence of the people of the tribe, so that they will not be trained to be lazy and only ask for food.
It worked well at first, but later the people who handled it enriched themselves, and the quality of food became worse and worse. However, the quality of the project still needs to be maintained, and the progress of the project still needs to be maintained. If you are not full, then what? A group of yamen runners waved whips, as if they were driving cattle and sheep, and drove the people of the tribe to build water conservancy projects.
Originally, this season is not suitable for engineering construction. Under each dam and each canal, there are countless people from the northern tribes buried. The wronged souls cannot be freed, and the yin energy is so strong that it manifests in broad daylight.
In the end, it was also the emperor who used his own prestige to kill a large number of people, skinned them, stuffed them with straw, and tortured them severely. It can be said that the heads were rolled and the blood flowed like a river, which stopped the signs of rebellion of the tribes.
From these three things, it is not difficult to find that a policy, the original intention of the top is good, but when it is implemented, there is a lack of corresponding supervision means, which will deviate from its design direction, or even deviate from it.
We cannot deny that the two peoples have deep hostility. After thousands of years of confrontation, they were opponents on the battlefield a few days ago, and now they are as close as a family. This is impossible.
The emperor tried his best to maintain peace between the two sides and avoid the outbreak of war, but many of his methods, in the eyes of the people in the dynasty, were biased towards the people of the tribe. As a result, there were more discussions among the people about this, and the suspicion between the two sides increased day by day, and friction continued every day.
It can only be said that the process of integration was not smooth sailing.
