Reclaiming Wasteland: Carefree Mountain Farmer

Chapter 250 Preventing Problems Before They Arise 2
Although the Mountain Farming Kingdom seems to have abolished slavery, the Arctic Martial Kingdom itself has never abolished slavery.

It simply prohibits anyone other than oneself from using slaves to support slaves.

"It's alright. Just make it clear that these people are in a slave status. Their wages and treatment are a bit lower than the locals, but still dozens of times higher than what they used to live."

“The troublemakers have been killed.”

Beijiwu didn't care, after all, he never thought five or six million was a lot.

With millions of non-Han people under his rule, a few more foreigners willing to accept his rule wouldn't make a difference.

We've killed millions of people. We're willing to kill anyone who dares to cause trouble. Whether they're Northern Wu, people from the three provinces, or Han Chinese merchants from the south, we're not afraid of these people causing chaos in the country.

If the Mountain Farming Kingdom were afraid of these five million people, it wouldn't be the Mountain Farming Kingdom.

Self-confidence is a fundamental quality possessed by all members of the Shandong Agricultural University community.

The mountain farmers were not afraid of any foreign tribes causing trouble, nor were they afraid that a large population would shake the foundation of King Wu's rule.

In the thirteen-year history of the Shan Nong people, there has only been conquest and rule, no history of humiliation, and no fear of any challenge.

The Han people have a history of being ruled and oppressed by foreign ethnic groups, but the mountain farmers have not.

The mountain farmers have never been afraid of others rebelling or killing people.

Even if he dies, someone will help him take revenge, using the most cruel and ruthless means to make those who challenge him understand that the majesty of King Wu cannot be offended!

Arctic Martial believes that the problem might arise among five million people, mainly due to Han Chinese thinking.

However, the people of the Mountain Farming Kingdom never considered this, and even with tens of thousands of foreigners around them, they remained incredibly confident.

Beijiwu examined the files from Lingnan. Because of his several trips to Lingnan, the people of Linyi, the natives of Qiongzhou, and the natives of Lingnan were all very obedient.

The slaves who were sold into slavery also knew what the mountain farmers were. There were also many workers in Lingnan who built houses and roads, as well as the navy and army responsible for the safety of King Wu's patrols.

Many people in the Lingnan region have received military training from the mountain farmers, served as soldiers for King Wu, and built houses for him.

Even if trouble arises, militia forces will quickly be assembled in the surrounding areas.

Production villages, with thousands of households as their collective, are naturally military units.

The orchards of the Lin Yi Nu were a gift from the Arctic Warrior, who allowed them to live on this land for generations without being bullied.

The businesses of the Hu people were also supported by the Arctic Army, which allowed them to join the Mountain Farmers, enjoy some of the Mountain Farmers' benefits, and buy train tickets and pay taxes normally.

The land and houses of the local self-cultivating farmers were given to them by King Wu, and everything from water buffalo to seeds to relief grain was provided by him.

The migrant workers are all doing the jobs provided by King Wu to earn money to support their families. Because of King Wu's care, they were able to escape from the muddy fields and do jobs that can earn money and lift them out of poverty.

If foreigners rebel and kill people in a city, even if the Arctic Army doesn't send anyone, various groups in the vicinity will join the battle, and a few thousand people can wipe out millions of people.

Even those former commoners who were exiled here thought about making merit to return as slaves, rather than following a group of uncivilized savages in their rebellion against the Arctic.

A rabid dog is biting people randomly. Even if you don't want to help the person, you shouldn't bite along with the dog...

Most Han Chinese consider themselves to be mountain farmers, and they are only one medal or one achievement away from becoming one.

The merchants from the Central Asian countries of Luoyang and Lingnan were not from the same country or ethnic group.

Even within the same nation and people, slaves and merchants cannot unite.

Merchants would only help King Wu suppress rebellious slaves; they would never help the rioting slaves just because they were from the same region as the king. They would only use the most ruthless means to sever ties.

Murder is simple.

In the Mountain Farming Kingdom, the Arctic Warrior needed no reason to kill the prisoners.

They can kill whomever they want.

The bodies of the Khitans are still buried in the grasslands of Wuzhou, but that doesn't stop the Khitans from living happily in Wuzhou today.

The Mountain Farming Kingdom had no moral burden, especially regarding the western regions it had conquered.

We did it, we killed, and if you dare to say it, we'll keep killing.

The reason we didn't do the same to Goryeo and Fusang wasn't because we were afraid, but because both places surrendered very quickly, and during this period of history, the Central Plains dynasties were always revered.

They were willing to surrender and offer up their land to live a good life in Luoyang, and the upper-class nobles admired the culture of the Central Plains.

It used to be the culture of the Central Plains, but now it is the culture of the mountain farmers.

Admire the powerful, be their dogs, be their slaves.

It has always been this way.

So just be strong yourself.

While becoming stronger, we must also prevent others from becoming too powerful, and suppress and belittle others when necessary.

Becoming stronger will have its limits, but suppressing others and preventing them from rising is much easier than simply becoming stronger.

The Arctic military supplies outwards mainly to skilled artisans. These individuals can improve certain technical skills, such as fertilizer and livestock management, but they cannot keep up with mainstream technologies.

Grain production is a key constraint on industrial development, and with the inevitable population explosion, the dependence on the Mountain Farming Kingdom will only grow stronger.

Arctic Martial Arts possesses sufficient wisdom to restrain and suppress others.

More than anything else, Arctic Martial Arts wanted to know if these people had completed the localization process and whether they posed any potential threat.

After dealing with domestic affairs, Bei Jiwu went to the Imperial Palace.

The clubhouse was a rest and entertainment center built for the palace maids. It included an ice rink, casino, bathhouse, karaoke rooms, dance hall, and canteen.

Beijiwu entered through the back door and found a group of blonde maids in black and white dresses playing cards in the nearest room. Seeing this, Beijiwu didn't disturb them and went directly to the nearby Guanyin Hall to find the maids on duty that day.

"Owner."

When Sophie and Mary saw Arctic Martial enter, they immediately bowed slightly to greet him respectfully.

Seeing the maid with her hands on her lower abdomen, Beijiwu ordered, "Call the palace maid on duty."

"Yes!" Ma Li quickly went to call for help.

Beijiwu sat in the chair waiting, and Sophie obediently came over and squatted down to take off Beijiwu's shoes and wipe his feet.

Before long, more than fifty palace maids on duty entered the hall in unison. Like professionally trained ballet dancers, they knelt down in unison, holding the hem of their skirts with both hands and looking at Beijiwu.

"Meet the Master."

Beijiwu looked at the maids who remained motionless in a half-squatting position. The oldest of these maids was over thirty years old, and the youngest was over ten years old. At this moment, they were all holding a fixed posture like statues.

"Okay, stand still."

Arctic Warrior was fairly satisfied with these carefully selected maids.

Sophie and Mary stood on either side of Arctic Martial, while the other blonde, chestnut-haired, black-haired, curly-haired, red-haired, and silver-haired maids stood respectfully, their faces maintaining calm and dignified expressions.

These maids appear to be distinguished by skin and hair color, but they can actually be simply divided into three types.

The first type is the Nordic race, characterized by blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and a tall and strong physique. They are mainly distributed in northern Europe and the Nordic Plain.

A normal and common appearance is characterized by robust bones and strong lines.

However, these carefully selected offerings are certainly not ordinary. Many people's first impression is of the aloofness, ethereal beauty, and goddess-like temperament of Northern Europe, which perfectly combines strength and gentleness.

This is mainly a selection of young beauties; youth is important, but so is careful selection.

The second type is the Mediterranean type, whose main characteristics are black hair and black eyes, curly hair, dark skin, and relatively short stature.

This type of people are mainly distributed in Southern Europe along the Mediterranean coast, North Africa, West Asia, and South Asia, including Egyptians.

There were several wheat-skinned Egyptian girls in front of them, dancing local dances to please the Arctic warriors.

The third type is the Alpine type, characterized by mixed heritage, belonging to a stable category between tall and short, straight and curly, black and blonde hair.

Simply put, they are the eldest sister, the second eldest sister, and the youngest sister.

Arctic warriors used to divide European women in this way, but now is not the time to consider that.

"I want to send one or two people to Anzhou in Lingnan to select a group of blonde, blue-eyed, fair-skinned, and beautiful maids. Ideally, their mothers should also be beautiful women with good genes."

“Anyone among you who is familiar with the Europeans there can go on a business trip. I will provide overtime and travel allowances. The task is to bring back suitable female slaves.”

"If there are no suitable women, just come back. It would be too sad if a nation didn't even have beautiful women."

Beauty pageants are used by Arctic militants to provide a way out for their respective groups and to test the obedience of the locals.

Mountain farmers are the most obedient. When the Northern Emperor held a beauty pageant among the Han Chinese mountain farmers, he mainly looked for old men who were unwilling to send their daughters to the palace to suffer, and did not pay much attention to the beauty pageant itself.

The same applies to Japan and Korea; if they don't want to fight, then fight them. These people haven't given the Arctic Army a chance to make a move yet.

It's too lenient to let foreigners in Lingnan work; even our own people in the Arctic have to wait in line for jobs.

Not paying them wouldn't be right. Beijiwu, a ruthless killer with countless women, always felt that paying overtime and working was wrong.

Beauty pageants can mobilize a segment of people from well-off families. Only those from well-off families can easily protect their beautiful daughters and raise beautiful wives and children.

Merchant slave owners may also have fine goods, but their obedience does not contradict the demands of Arctic warriors.

The purpose is to solve problems, eliminate hidden dangers, and prevent accidents from happening.

"Master, this servant is willing to share your burdens and go to Lingnan to select female slaves!"

Beijiwu looked at the woman who came out and knelt down to beg for her life.

"What's your name?"

"Wei Lan".

Arctic Martial asked curiously, "What was your original name?"

“Violet!”

After hearing this, Beijiwu pondered for a moment and then asked, "Does it mean violet?"

"Yes!" Wei Lan was extremely excited.

Beijiwu nodded. "Alright, Wei Lan, get ready to go. I'll arrange protection for you, and I'll give you a clear procedure on how to proceed. All you have to do is use your eyes to pick out the beauties."

"I only want pretty girls! Don't bring back any that aren't pretty."

There's no need for any concealment; Arctic Martial Arts has no image baggage.

Work is work, and leisure is leisure.

Saints are what others consider saints; Beijiwu does not consider himself a saint, nor does he adhere to the rules of saints.

Wei Lan quickly accepted the order and bowed her head, saying, "Yes, Master!"

There was nothing wrong with Beiji Wu's orders. The country was peaceful and prosperous, and King Wu was thirty years old, in the prime of his life.

It's good to have more beautiful women; it saves others the trouble.
