Chapter One Hundred, The Establishment of the Bunker State
"Wu Balin. This is the leader of the Shanyue tribe here... Dengqing. This is the leader of the Bang tribe here... Yueshan. This is the leader of the Ke tribe here... Minshan. This is the Yue tribe here.
The leader jointly elected by the Shan tribe and other ethnic minorities... Yue Hua." Every time Wizard Mindeng introduced someone, the leader would salute Chen Shihao with a bitter look on his face.
With the introduction of the wizard Min Deng, Chen Shihao has definitely established a firm foothold in Shanguo Village. Even if the four heads want to resist, it is impossible. Because the mountain people who extremely respect the wizard will definitely be friendly and awed by this second lieutenant of Bahrain.
Not to mention the mountain people, even the four big heads are a little uneasy now. What makes the young second lieutenant in front of him make the wizard so friendly to him? Will such a military and political officer take action against the big heads like himself...
Chen Shihao greeted the four leaders in a friendly manner. Then, under the hand of the Minden wizard and surrounded by the mountain people, a group of people crossed the bamboo bridge and entered in the sound of tunes welcoming the distinguished guests.
Went to the meeting hall of Shanguozhai. On the way, Chen Shihao kept holding his hand with Wizard Mindeng. It felt a little strange. Why was this master so affectionate to him? It didn't feel awkward. After all, she was an old woman of unknown age.
Just thinking about the gender of wizards, Chen Shihao was suddenly a little stunned. Because the name Mindeng should be used by men in the mountains. Women would never use such a name. Could it be that women who become wizards can use men's names? Hmm
It should be like this, because here in the mountains, women have no status. If it were just an old woman, the four-headed men would never be so respectful. What they respected was the identity of the wizard. It should be like this.
Now Chen Shihao's mood has stabilized. At first, he was thinking about how to return to China. But after being dragged here by a few soldiers who forced themselves in, and unexpectedly welcomed by the wizard, he already knew that he was a mountain fruit.
The military and political commander of the village is determined.
After understanding this, Chen Shihao no longer thought twice. After sitting down in the meeting hall, he directly took out the appointment document and showed it to everyone. Seeing that everyone nodded and showed no expressions of objection, Chen Shihao said
He boldly began to exercise his power as a military and political officer. He asked directly: "What is the population of Shanguo Village? How many young people are there? How many are armed. How much is the monthly tax."
The four leaders looked at each other and then at the wizard Min Deng who was sitting in the first place. The leader of the mountain clan Deng Qing said loudly: "Second Lieutenant Bahrain. The total population of Shanguo Village is more than 6,000 people. Among them, there are more than 1,000 young adults.
There are 4 teams of Shanguozhai Guards. Each team has 30 people. They are divided into three shifts to patrol the surrounding areas. The monthly tax is more than 20,000 yuan."
"More than 20,000. Isn't that just over 100 dragon yuan?" Chen Shihao was stunned. Chen Shihao was not surprised by the number of people and armed forces. But this month's tax revenue really surprised him. A large village with more than 6,000 people.
The monthly tax is actually more than 100 yuan..
The four leaders obviously expected that Chen Shihao would be so surprised. They all shook their heads with a wry smile. The same Dengqing said: "Second Lieutenant Bahrain, our Shanguo Village is completely self-sufficient. We only receive taxes when we sell supplies to others.
Except for some mountain goods, this mountain fruit village has nothing worth selling. So it is very impressive to have more than 100 dragon yuan in taxes a month."
Chen Shihao, who was only 16 years old, couldn't help but ask after hearing these words: "What about the taxes on the poppy fields? Don't you have to pay taxes?"
The people present, whether it was Guo Nai who stood behind Chen Shihao like a personal adjutant, or the wizard Minden who closed his eyes to concentrate on the fluctuation of the witchcraft power in his body, or the four leaders who were speculating about the relationship between the wizard and the second lieutenant, were listening. After saying this, everyone looked at Chen Shihao in shock.
Chen Shihao moved his hands and wanted to touch the back of his head subconsciously. But he suddenly realized that his status was not suitable for this. So he deliberately glared: "Well. What? Those poppies are not taxed."
The four-headed men looked around again. Dengqing, who was pushed out to answer, pondered for a moment in embarrassment. He smiled helplessly and said: "Second Lieutenant Bahrain, poppy fields are illegal in the mountains. It is also illegal in the whole world. Since It’s illegal. Then naturally we can’t collect taxes.”
Seeing Chen Shihao's eyebrows raised, Dengqing, who thought what Chen Shihao would say, said first: "Second Lieutenant Bahrain, maybe you think that since it is illegal, why not eradicate it? To tell you the truth, it can't be eradicated. We leaders can't eradicate it." If you have a little wealth, you can live without relying on the harvest of the poppy fields. But most people in Shanguo Village must rely on the paste in exchange for food rations. We can't solve their food rations. Naturally, we can't eradicate the poppy fields. "
"I'm not talking about the taxes on the people who grow them. I'm talking about the taxes on the people who buy them. Don't those guys who come to buy opium pay the fees to our mountain fruit village?" Chen Shihao said with a glare. For these, we must rely on Chen Shihao didn't feel disgusted with the mountain people who planted opium poppies in exchange for food rations. After all, people were here to live, not to get rich. But Chen Shihao felt deeply disgusted by the guys who bought them. Those guys were the mountain people who grew opium. The main reason is that without their purchase, no matter how poor the mountain people are, they will not be able to grow opium. They will only think of other ways to exchange for rations.
"Uh, Second Lieutenant Bahrain, it's the Tiger Gang who bought the opium." Dengqing said this with a look of understanding.
Chen Shihao turned his head to look at Guo Nai with some confusion. Guo Nai sighed. The powerful children from this city are well protected. Even the Tiger Gang, which is well known to everyone at the grassroots level, doesn't know about it. But naturally he thinks he is an adjutant. It was my duty to clear up the officer’s doubts. So he came forward and whispered: “Sir, the Tiger Gang specializes in drug trafficking. It has influence in several surrounding counties. It is not only well-equipped, but also has a large number of people. It is said that it is also related to high-ranking officials and dignitaries above. Here. This piece of land is a force that cannot be messed with." At this point, I couldn't help but add: "So we can't collect taxes from them."
Chen Shihao blinked. I daresay that in addition to the three major forces of warlords, tribes, and wizards, there are gangs in the Mountain Kingdom. Doesn't this make the Mountain Kingdom even more chaotic? But this should have nothing to do with him. Although he is a Dragon Kingdom policeman. But they are not Mountain Kingdom police. Instead, they are Mountain Kingdom soldiers. Now they have become Mountain Kingdom's little warlords. They should not bother with such troublesome matters.
Knowing that the poppy field matter could not be solved by himself, Chen Shihao let it go for the time being and directly announced his acquisition of Kudengtou. The four heads were only slightly surprised. They thought this was a way for the new official Chen Shihao to win people's hearts after taking office. Otherwise, he would do it. Well, 1 dragon yuan buys 1 pound of kudzu heads. This is not how money is used. But if the wizard is on his side, it will definitely stop him from buying people's hearts. But the wizard is on his side, so I have to agree. Announce this to the tribe.
In addition to these things, Chen Shihao did not ask too much about the armed issue that the four heads were most worried about. He also had no intention of receiving the weapons of the Shanguo Village Guards. This performance made the four heads feel relieved. As long as they did not move, Military power. It’s easy to talk about anything.
At the end, Chen Shihao said: "I wonder if you know that the 5th Shanyue Division raised its flag to rebel and established itself as an independent army."
"Ah. The Fifth Mountain Division is rebelling. It's impossible. They are a national division. How can they rebel..." The four heads yelled with shock and disbelief on their faces. Obviously the news has not reached them yet. But this is not the case. Let Chen Shihao understand how blocked the information here is. Information can only be transmitted through feet. There is not even a single wire in this village.
"This is true. It has been confirmed. It is said that the fifth division was controlled by the Tan tribe and carried out genocide." Chen Shihao said seriously. As soon as these words came out, Wizard Minden, who had already closed his eyes again, once again Opening his eyes, there was a hint of shock in his eyes.
The four-headed men felt as if they had been struck by lightning. After a while, Dengqing stammered: "The people of the Tan tribe are so stupid. They actually dare to engage in genocide. Aren't they afraid of being completely exterminated?" Dengqing is the one with the most unsightly look, because this kind of genocide initiated by other ethnic groups targets the Shanyue tribe, which has the largest population in the Shanyue Kingdom.
It’s just that the faces of the other three heads don’t look good either. Because genocide is definitely a double-edged sword of chaos. It hurts many people. It will not only involve most tribes, but the nation that initiated this action will also be purged by the victimized nation in the end. Lose.
"No. We must not let the Tan tribe do such things that are so resentful." Min Deng didn't look like an old man at all. He stood up quickly. A noble aura emerged from the old man's body.
The eyes of the four heads immediately lit up. They all asked with surprise on their faces: "Master, are you ready to let the Wizards Alliance dispatch to punish the Dan clan?"
"This kind of matter that concerns all the peoples of the Mountain Country must be notified to the Wizards Alliance." Min Deng said this with a serious face. He looked at Chen Shihao with great reluctance and said: "Wu Balin, please wait here for the time being. .I still have many cultivation matters that I need to ask you for advice. I will come back as soon as possible."
"Uh." Chen Shihao was in a daze. He asked himself for advice on cultivation matters. I don't understand witchcraft.
"Ah..." The four heads and Guo Nai were all dumbfounded. They asked for advice. The wizard actually asked the young second lieutenant for advice on training matters. Could it be that this young second lieutenant is actually a powerful wizard? Otherwise, it would take many years to become a senior wizard. Why does Master Mindeng need to ask him for advice? If this is the case, then it is no wonder that Master Mindeng pays such tribute to the second lieutenant. But this is too hard to believe. The person who can ask senior wizards for advice must be the great wizard. A 16-year-old wizard...
Wizard Mindeng waited until Chen Shihao nodded stupidly. He thought he had confirmed it, so he didn't say much. He turned and left the meeting hall. When everyone woke up, they quickly chased them out. However, they found that the old lady wizard was missing. The four-headed people and Everyone in Guo Nai looked impressed and admired. Only Chen Shihao was speechless. An old man of unknown age could actually walk so fast. It must be due to his witchcraft ability.
