"The King of the Fierce Bulls should be very clear about the difference. I am not an unreasonable person. Since he gave me a thousand strong adult men as gifts, of course I have to give him the same standard gift. But I will not take the initiative to send someone to him. If I want it, he has to take it himself."

...

Two hours later, Wu Peng left Panshi City and he led the guards to head north.

Tianhao stood at the top of the tallest tower in Panshi City, silently staring at the backs of the line that was leaving.

Even though this meeting was unexpected, he could still feel the concern from the great master. This old man worked for the long time for the tribe, and he was worried that he would be lost in front of outstanding military achievements and a large amount of spoils. There are countless examples in history because he was too young and the gap between age and experience often led to the expansion of self-confidence, which then developed into arrogant arrogance.

The great master also disliked His Majesty's orders, but he could not object.

Although His Majesty is old, he is very smart. As the supreme ruler, he is very clear that there must be conflicts between his subordinates. As long as it is not a decisive vendetta that shakes the foundation of the empire, any contradiction can be easily resolved with the intervention of the supreme power. Strong local forces are worrying, and various complex possibilities will lead to the worsening of the situation. Sometimes, rebellion actually comes from the reverse driving effect of the middle and lower forces, but before that, the supreme ruler can use various means to regulate and prevent it.

Tianhao is an exception. He comes from an era of civilization that has long disappeared.

Panshi City is also an exception. Tianhao's business methods are different from those of any barbarian senior management. Whether it is grain production or material allocation, the understanding and application of wealth, including the subjective initiative development of the lower-level civilians, he is far ahead of this era. All efforts are to deal with wars that are coming at any time, and the entire city's offensive and defensive capabilities are developed to the maximum extent. In fact, many of Tianhao's practices are not excessive to describe them as "military and powerful". The people of Panshi City have almost no entertainment projects, no private space, and no personal property. The meaning of everyone's existence is to win the next war.

This is an absolute war machine, an oversized military camp covered up by the city's name.

Zong Ju is a city lord with unique vision. He saw the powerful war operation ability of Panshi City and bet on the future with all his wealth. Although Tianhao's personal charm is due to Tianhao's personal charm, more importantly, the entire social framework of the northern barbarians is extremely primitive, and his personal free thinking has not yet reached a full awakening.

Many people were surprised at the miracle of Panshi Village being upgraded to a city in just a few years, but they did not understand the various efforts made by Tianhao under the pretext of "managing a city". Looking at the entire northern continent, there are no villages, cities, and tribes who have a deep understanding of the importance of intelligence as much as him; no middle-level rulers can pay attention to communicating with the lower-level people like him, and at the same time extend their control tentacles infinitely, firmly adsorbing them on every civilian like him.

It sounds terrible, but the actual effect is very good. He knows what the lower-class civilians need and what kind of price they are willing to use in exchange. This is not just as simple as having the strength to fight with full stomach. No one can ensure that everyone under his rule can willingly make sacrifices. At this time, it requires guidance, long-term, many times, from individuality to grouping, repeated contact, and personal guidance. Only in this way can the people be aroused to the maximum extent and let them have the idea of ​​"I am the master of the city (tribe)" instead of being passively driven by the ruler and being forced to obey more than take the initiative.

Under Tianhao's management, Panshi City has reached a remarkable height. The northern barbarians are known as "the whole nation is a soldier", but not any tribe or city can do this. Taking Mishui City as an example, if Panshi City does not have full support in terms of food, Zonggu will not be able to send tens of thousands of people to the war, of which the proportion of auxiliary soldiers exceeds 80%, rather than the front-line combat force like Panshi City, which exceeds more than 50% of the overall participating troops.

Tianhao's vision is not limited to Panshi City. He has a great appetite and currently covers all the livable areas to the north of the city. The ten villages obtained from the great master Wu Peng last time have been built, with an average size of about a thousand people, the largest of which is Zhangpu Village. Tianfeng replaced Jianping as the leader, and Tianhao has added more immigrants there many times. In addition to the pig captives assigned by this war, the current number of people in Zhangpu Village has exceeded 6,000.

To maintain and strengthen the rule of an area, we should not only focus on the development of core cities, but also take into account the existence and influence of surrounding villages.

The great master and his party had already walked away and disappeared completely from the center of sight.

Tianfeng slowly walked to Tianhao's side, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and whispered: "Let's think about it, in fact, the great master has no malice, he has been helping us."

"I know." Tianhao nodded calmly: "He is a person who has ideas and really wants to do things, but there is always a gap between reality and ideals."

"Ahao, what are you referring to?" Tianfeng was a little surprised and turned his head to look at him.

"Actually, I can let Yu Zheng live, or beat him up and then drive him out of Panshi City. In short, there are many ways to deal with it, and the initiative is in our hands. The great master has never intervened, just to see how far I can do it. He is testing us, he doesn't know my true thoughts, and he can't even figure out whether I really have rebellious as the rumors say." Tianhao breathed the cold air, his smile with a glitz of ridicule.

Tianfeng did not have the thinking that transcends the times like Tianhao. He thought for a full half of a minute and asked uncertainly: "What do you mean is that the great master knew from the very beginning that you would kill Yu Zheng?"

Tianhao shook his head: "He doesn't know. But no matter what I do, the great master will not stop it."

"Why?" Tian Feng was dumbfounded, this was beyond his cognition.

"Because I am the city lord, I have this right." Tianhao raised his head and stared at the brilliant sky with the faint clouds above his head with the sunshine: "Even with the orders of His Majesty, the King of the Fierce Bulls cannot force me to obey his will. We are not a tribe, and his ideas are useless to me. Not to mention Yu Zheng, pulling the tiger's skin as a banner, pretending to be public and private. Since he took the initiative to stretch his head over and let me chop it, I certainly would not refuse such a request. In short, let alone him live or die, it depends entirely on my mood. But the great master is present, Yu Zheng must die."

"I must use this method to express my attitude to the great master. This is what is called politics. Toughness has toughness and toughness, and weakness must bear more weight. If I don't kill Yu Zheng today, the great master will ask me to obey the will of the king of the ferocious bulls and exchange prisoners according to the numbers in the damn document, and no one can be missing. Because I am not the kind of person who is tough and unwilling to give in as a great master. Although I have won a battle, I am full of fear of the powerful nobles in my bones. In this way, Panshi City will lose its value of cultivation. Even if I become a lord, I will be a wedding dress for others. Anyone in the bull tribe can poach a piece of meat from me. Every year, it will never stop."

"So killing Yu Zheng is not enough. You must drive the division away with the toughest attitude. Don't the King of the Fierce Bulls want to exchange? You must follow my rules. Anyway, these old and weak have arrived, so stay in Panshi City. The King of the Fierce Bulls will definitely not give up. Next time he will come. But so what? Who can't cheat on him? I will tell him directly that these people are dead, what can he do to me?"

Tianfeng's eyes twitched when he heard this: "Ahao, this...is probably not possible!"

"Why can't it?" Tianhao shrugged: "He didn't leave food for these people, so he said they were starved to death. What can he say?"

Tianfeng finally understood the intention of his brother: "Are you determined to fight to the end?"

"They provoked the conflict first." Tian Haoyangtian laughed, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "If you want to fight, just come. Panshi City is not a soft persimmon that can be pinched."

Standing quietly in the cold wind for a long time, Tianfeng sighed deeply: "I finally understand why the great master left. He has nothing to worry about. Ahao, you are very strong, and you are not afraid of anything in Panshi City."

Tianhao slowly lowered Gaoyang's head, and his firm eyes seemed to penetrate time and space: "It's not enough, we have to do better."

...

A new round of population resettlement work is fully launched.

As many as 60,000 pig people were assigned to various newly built villages. Taking Huanche Village and Qingyuan Village as examples, these two villages were destroyed in the war, and Tianhao ordered the reconstruction of three thousand people on the basis of the original site.

A large amount of supplies and food were scattered and transported to the distance along the newly built road. All the village leaders were personally recognized by Tianhao. He devoted a lot of effort and time to these people, personally imparting various knowledge and skills, and they were also impeccable in their loyalty.

Together with the ten villages approved by the great master Wu Peng last time, plus the reward for this military achievements, Tianhao currently has the right to build forty villages.

The current situation is not suitable for full expansion, and the areas that can be controlled cannot accommodate so many villages. After repeated calculations, as well as the water source area and actual population estimation in the area, it was finally determined that Jia43 was the northernmost end, with a narrow and long area in the middle, including Zhangpu Village under the jurisdiction of Tianfeng, and all the villages under the jurisdiction of Panshi City have reached 28.

After a series of diversion, transformation and migration, the number of civilians in Panshi City finally stabilized to 150,000.

The design capacity of this city is 200,000, and a certain amount of space must be left to continue to develop. The tone set by Tianhao is accurate and direct: because of the area where it is located, Panshi City is positioned as a fortress. It is not suitable to be a population-intensive city. Although there are many types of resources around it, there is not enough arable land. If you want to build a central city with cultural, economic and other aspects as the core, you must choose another location.

Moreover, from the perspective of the barbarians, it is really shocking to have a large city with a population of over 200,000 in a short period of time. It is not a good thing for the Panshiling, which is in the rising period. It is easy to arouse suspicion from the upper class and even deprive strength of the naked ones.

In Tianhao's opinion, more than 10,000 women and children from the Ferocious Bull Division were a gift. These people lost their resources to live and were real proletarians. Of course, Panshi City would not support them in vain, but their loyalty to the new owner was so urgent. A meal of dough with fish soup, a set of clean cotton clothes, and a warm, solid, beautiful and clean room, even if they whip their spans, they could not be driven away.

Tianhao's rule logic has not changed at all. In this world, there are no useless people, only lazy people. As long as the arrangement is made, both the elderly and the children can find their own place in this city.

The military organization will be fully upgraded from now on. The Panshi City Battle Group is reorganized into the Panshi Leading Corps with a capacity of 20,000 people. Each group of troops will be divided into groups according to actual needs, and the main forces are heavy infantry and archers.

The twenty-eight villages in the leadership set up battle groups, with a capacity ranging from 300 to 1,000. All villages have a certain number of horses, and beacon signal towers are built between villages depending on the specific situation. Usually, riders are used to send messages, and when an emergency occurs, they will ignite and smoke.

The capture and domestication of birds was carried out simultaneously. Tianhao specially allocated a batch of grain and special equipment for this purpose, and the external name was tentatively designated as "Poultry and Egg Processing Materials Office". The name itself has no special meaning, and it is entirely out of his personal preference.

The bald eagle is a famous raptor in the northern continent and is at the high end of the food chain. This animal is very different from the bald eagle in the civilization era. It should be a mutant species that the golden eagle survived in the era of mass extinction.

Tianhao's attitude is very clear. Regardless of whether it can be used or not, we will first capture and train.

He really couldn't stand the slow speed of information transmission at present, and he had to fundamentally change.

Paper research and development has been entrusted to Wu Qi before, and he did a good job. The great master saw that the paper with breakthrough significance was Wu Qi's masterpiece. It was just because of the unexpected time that Tianhao happened to lead the army to fight outside and did not get the news in time.

The new paper technical requirements have been updated again: the color must be whiter, the paper surface must be smoother, and the flexibility is better. At the same time, it pays attention to water absorption and touch comfort. Different types of products can be tried to develop on the basis of the existing basis.

Since awakening from the dormant state and successfully parasitize, Tianhao's biggest discomfort in this strange world is going to the toilet. Eat and sleep, three basic activities that cannot be ignored in life. In summer, barbarians can choose thicker leaves to wipe their butts. Those who are more particular will collect a large amount of weeds, and then dry them with heavy objects such as wooden boards and rub them repeatedly. This can make the hay soft. Each time you use it, you will pull out some and pinch them into a ball, aim your backhand at the center of your bare butt and wipe it hard.
