"Are you greedy for ink?" Stevie asked coldly.

Shi Dewei knew that Li Xiao would not care about the lives of foreigners. But with so many people dead, a lot of national money was wasted.

There is something fishy about this, and it is also the only way to make money from projects.

Ask in front of Li Xiao, if there is such a thing, say it in front of Li Xiao. With Li Xiao's character and Shi Danai's achievements, maybe this matter can be covered up.

And he, Shi Dewei, could be regarded as exposing his own family scandal and exterminating relatives for justice. When he spoke out, he was also selfless.

Stanay was far less thoughtful and calculating than Stewie, so he heard his uncle ask him if he was corrupt.

He quickly danced his hands like an electric fan, and his whole face almost turned purple: "Commander, uncle!

Although I am poor, I am not greedy for this little life money.

Construction conditions in the Western Region are extremely harsh. Opening holes to fire off cannons, or encountering dud bombs or explosives, is no different than tying your head to your belt.

Coupled with disease, there is also a lack of water in some places.

When digging culverts, things like landslides can be fatal.

Others tried to escape, but were captured and executed.

There are so many, and there are only so many left from more than 20,000 people. Thousands of kilometers of railway, almost two people can fit in one kilometer.

This is just a small cemetery, and there are even more graves in Dihua. More than 3,000 people are buried there!" Stanai frowned, as if he was insulted.

"Forget it! It's not easy to complete such a large project with such harsh conditions. We can't be too demanding!" Li Xiao looked at the long yellow sand outside and sighed helplessly.

In order to fix the sand, the trees planted five years ago have grown very tall. In another five years, it is estimated that they will become a forest.

With the forest, the desert can be well controlled. It also prevents the quicksand from threatening this artery that connects the country and the Western Region.

As early as when we sent troops to the Western Regions, we had already extended the railway from Yumen to Hami.

Now it extends from Hami to Ili!

The Ming court's control over the Western Regions will gradually exceed that of any period in history. Eventually, the Western Regions will become the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's fine if there's no such thing!" Stewie breathed a sigh of relief, it's fine that there's no such thing as greed.

The benefits here were too great, and he couldn't believe that his nephew wouldn't lend a hand.

“These people who died knowing how to lay railways do not include transporting materials, building stations, etc.

Those were all done by people from the Fourth Division. They captured many local Uighurs. Moreover, they tortured those Uighurs in various ways.

Some of them were tied up and sold to others after they finished their work."

Stewie thought wrongly. His nephew was still a very righteous person.

The Fourth Division was killing local people indiscriminately in the Western Regions, reaching a point where even Stanislav could not stand it.

Shi Dewei stole a glance at Li Xiao and saw that Li Xiao was still standing in front of the car window, as if he had not heard what Shi Danai said.

Not being able to see the expression on Li Xiao's face made Shi Dewei very uneasy.

Li Xiao was very protective of the Liao Army. The Fourth Division was one of the main divisions of the Liao Army. Although it was the most ineffective main division, it was also the main force of the Liao Army.

Now Shi Danai actually dares to criticize the Fourth Division in front of Li Xiao. If this man is offended...!

"Stefanai, look at this piece of yellow sand in front of you. Our ancestors, whether Han or Tang, have all invaded this land. There may be the corpses of our ancestors under this piece of yellow sand.

When the empire was strong, we occupied this place. But when the empire declined, the people here would take the opportunity to kill all our immigrants.

Let this become their paradise again!

That’s why the Han people are like water and they are like stones.

No matter how big the flood is, it will eventually pass. When the flood recedes, the rocks will naturally be exposed.

I don't want this kind of thing to continue in a cycle, so we have to move the stone away. The fourth division is the people who move the stone.
