Therefore, seeing this as a betrayal and a violation of the original contract by the lover, Lilupal no longer had sweet love for Ormaz, but only an irresistible hatred for revenge.

Maybe Olmaz never changed his heart, and his true love would always be Lilupal, but he mistakenly believed that Lilupal liked him as a person.

As a result, three generations were excommunicated.

Lilupal admitted that she had some interest in Lin Ye and wanted to try him out. She originally regarded him as a man with the same values as Ormaz, or to be more precise, a man who met her values.

It was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines in that era, and Lilupal didn't care if her man had affairs with other women.

Physical communication is as simple and casual as daily meals, and it is acceptable to change the taste occasionally, but the spiritual resonance makes Lilupal feel the happiness of falling in love.

Now, Lin Ye's pure love allows Lilupal to see another path.

They fly together as a pair, are loyal to each other, and there is no third party involved in their love.

Then physical pleasure becomes a more private and unique "ritual".

In this case, we really can't be careless at the moment.

Pure love is also a kind of interest, right? thought the old driver, Kirilupal.

"I understand." Lilupal took a step back and said with a smile.

Lin Ye was puzzled. What did this guy understand?

Just as Lin Ye was about to explain the importance of pure love and that he was a married man, Lilupal left lightly. She wanted to study what a pure love relationship was like.

Lin Ye looked at Lilupal's back and shook his head.

Oh, did I forget something?

Sassin: Ugh!

After spending a whole day, Lin Ye conducted a detailed investigation and compilation of the Mushanla tribe and gained a clear understanding of the basic situation of the tribe.

The population is 171, including strong young guards, and the rest are old people, children and women.

The Mushalla tribe is a nomadic clan, in other words, they rely on hunting and gathering for their livelihood. They have opened up arable land in the oasis, but the yield is not high.

The desert people are the prey of the weak. Lin Ye defeated Kus, and no one would have any objection to him becoming the new leader. However, Lin Ye was not satisfied with this. He wanted to say that he was rebelling, and these people would probably rebel overnight.

Therefore, Lin Ye did not declare an uprising immediately, but first developed his strength honestly. One cannot become fat in one bite, and one may easily choke to death.

How to quickly unite scattered people into one? This requires a flag.

Lin Ye thought of the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

So Lin Ye found Lilupal and asked her to cooperate with him in a play.

After listening to this, Lilupal felt that this routine was familiar. It was she who suggested Ormaz to do this last time. Lin Ye learned it by himself. Not bad.

Although Lilupal was passive and slacking off, which put pressure on Lin Ye, he would agree to his requests on the road to becoming king.

After all, we want to cultivate a pure love relationship~

The next day, Lin Ye summoned all the tribesmen to the edge of the oasis and asked Lilupal to demonstrate his power to calm the spirits in front of them. It began to rain heavily, and the yellow sand and gravel turned into black fertile soil. The green vegetation grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and an oasis was born, lush and verdant.

This miracle made the ignorant desert people exclaim that Lilupal was a god.

Lilupal said, "I am the Great Town Spirit Lilupal, the messenger of His Majesty the Red King. I have come from the distant Moon Girl City to convey His Majesty the Red King's mission. Shepherd Olmaz will be His agent from today on, like a sage, like a king, to lead the people of the sand to build a paradise."

After saying that, Lilupal took out the Red Sand Staff and handed it to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye half-knelt, solemnly took the Red Sand Staff, then stood up, faced the tribesmen, and spoke loudly.

"I, Olmaz, am a shepherd. A few days ago, I had a dream. I dreamed that the sun was shining brightly in the sky, but I did not feel the heat. A sacred and solemn voice came from the sky."

"The owner of the voice is His Majesty the Red King who rules over the four corners of the earth. He has bestowed upon me wisdom and responsibility. How dare I deny the order of Heaven? The execution of the tyrannical Kuss yesterday was precisely the instruction of His Majesty the Red King."

"From now on, I will join forces with the great town of Linglilupal, listen to the will of heaven, and build the Mushanla tribe into the golden kingdom promised by His Majesty the Red King."

The scepter struck the ground with a dull sound. The respected elder took the lead and knelt down first. Then all the tribesmen bowed to Lin Ye with awe and excitement in their hearts.

Lin Ye's majesty is unmistakable, making people ignore his age.

The little shepherd did not have the temperament of a superior, so Lin Ye, who had been with the Inazuma ruler for thirteen years, followed suit and for a moment, he became the solemn king.

Lilupal, the only one standing there, glanced at the cosplay Lin Ye and pursed his lips.

How are you so skilled?

It was the first time for Ormaz to do this and he was so flustered, but being immature was cute in its own way.

If this were a simulator game, Lin Ye's reputation would be greatly improved by this operation.

At this time, the system actually opened a simulator for Lin Ye, called the King of Gul City Simulator.

The system issued the first task, which was to increase the tribe's population to one thousand and its reputation to 200, currently at 100.

The reward is the ability to unlock the seal immediately.

Providing material support out of thin air is considered cheating.

For this task, it is unrealistic to encourage everyone to have more children, as increasing the population can only lead to annexation.

There is no rush for this. There is no point in rushing.

After securing his position, Lin Ye planned the development direction of the tribe.

With no shortage of land and water, the future source of food will no longer be hunting, but a more stable agriculture.

The development of civilization in the desert is different from that in Liyue. Although there is agriculture, it mostly relies on oases and the overall output is not large. Ordinary tribesmen also have to learn to hunt and collect fruits from drought-resistant plants.

Lin Ye thought about distributing the land to every household, but later gave up.

First of all, not all desert people know how to farm. Secondly, there are not enough farm tools and iron tools. It is too inefficient for ordinary families to use bones to plow the land. It is better to hunt and gather to feed the family.

Unlike the people of Liyue who have a deep-seated attachment to the land, the people of the desert value water more. Water is as precious as gold in the desert.

Ensure a stable supply of water and effectively increase the loyalty of the tribesmen.

In the previous life, more than 300 people were just a village.

Lin Ye initially decided to focus on military affairs and education.

As for agriculture, take your time. There is no blacksmith and no iron mine in the tribe, so we cannot make farm tools.

We can't melt the weapons.

Be prepared for a rainy day and be prepared for danger in times of peace.

The ruler is a tyrant, which indirectly shows that the place is in chaos. It is normal for two tribes to fight every other day in the desert.

Lin Ye selected another twenty-nine strong young men to expand the guard, and used the food stored in the Kus Palace to provide for their families.

The overall combat effectiveness of Lin Ye's fifty guards is weaker than that of Kus's fifty guards, but it doesn't matter, because Lin Ye has Lupal on his side to provide a backup.

Lilupal said she would not act rashly unless Lin Ye was in danger.

This was also a test for Lin Ye by Lilupal. Olmaz had begged her many times in the past, and when they were in love, she was the most beautiful woman in the eyes of her lover. But after their relationship broke down, Lilupal was fed up with her no matter how she looked at her.

This is equivalent to finding a new partner and subconsciously comparing him or her with your ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend.

Day three, palace hall.

"Education?" Lilupal asked puzzled.

Lin Ye couldn't stand the stench in Kus's dormitory, so he simply lived in the palace hall and used it as his office, sleeping on the floor next to the room. The conditions were difficult, but he had to make do with it.

“Yes.” Lin Ye compiled his own literacy list, using the juice of some grass as paint and writing quickly on the slate.

"Are you going to teach these desert people to read?" Lilupal asked again.

This is a career that neither Ormaz nor Lilupal had ever thought of doing in history.

In ancient times, it was customary to implement a policy of keeping the people ignorant. The common people were too smart and restless, so education was a privilege enjoyed by the nobility.

"Education is an important cornerstone for national rejuvenation and social progress, and the foundation of a country." Lin Ye said seriously, "Literacy is the most basic requirement, and we must also find ways to cultivate professional talents."

Lilupal is a smart and ruthless woman. If she wants, she can manage a country and become an outstanding king. But she is not human, does not care about whether humans progress or not, and lives in a more ancient and primitive era, which has its limitations.

She savored Lin Ye's words, thought about the future, and spoke after a while.

"You are putting pressure on your own rule. Even without education, as long as you have me, you can still build a strong kingdom."

"If these people of the sand have more ideas in their heads, once you become corrupt, greedy, and tyrannical, the speed and number of the uprising will be faster than Kisra's. Then you will cry."

"Who is Keesla?"

"my child."

"Oh... isn't he the adopted son of Olmaz?"

"hehe."

"..."

Kisra was the second king of Gur after Ormaz. During his reign, problems arose in the water system between Gur and the Eternal Oasis, causing sand to seep into the water. The lack of water and the greed of the nobles led to the famous Brass Uprising.

Lin Ye chose to return to the topic and did not want to discuss gossip.

"Come to think of the best in me, can't you? I haven't become king yet. Right now I'm just a village chief, penniless, and devoted to building the tribe." Lin Ye was a little helpless.

"The Great Compassion Tree King next door built the Xumi City for scholars to study advanced knowledge and to popularize education so that every rainforest person is not illiterate. Do you know that in my time, everyone in the desert practiced prenatal education and was considered backward and barbaric?"

“Besides, if you can’t read, how can you appreciate the beauty of the civilization you live in?” Lin Ye said.

Lilupal was silent for a long time, then said something.

"It seems that you really want to become a qualified king."

"What else?" Lin Ye sneered, "The biggest difference between me and Ormaz is that I don't care about the kingship. I just want to complete the mission and go home as soon as possible."

"Let me tell you what it's like living in the desert these past two days. The climate is hot and dry, there are a lot of mosquitoes, and the drinking water is all from the river. Tomorrow I'm going to issue a decree that everyone must drink boiled water. The water in the river looks clean, but it's actually full of bacteria. Drinking it can easily lead to malaria. There are no doctors, so do we have to rely on shaman dances to cure illnesses?"

"Don't you care about the kingship? Isn't this what every human being pursues?"

“That’s too narrow-minded.” Lin Ye shook his head. “Rights should be matched with responsibilities. I don’t care about many people. I am satisfied with protecting my family and friends.”

"Many times I stepped forward because of my sense of justice and the desire to save more people. On the other hand, there was no one around me who could help me, so I had to stand up."

"It's great to be a drunkard, but the experiences and people I've met along the way have made me who I am today. I despise a drunkard."

Some of what Lin Ye said were things that Lilupal did not understand. She and Lin Ye had only known each other for a short time and were mysterious to each other.

"Do you know Olmaz's dream? To get a wife and have enough food to eat every day. This will not prevent him from overthrowing Huvastra and establishing a new country." Lilupal disagreed.

"My biggest understanding of you humans is that you are insatiable. Desire is like a rolling stone on a mountain. Once you start, you can never stop."

"Do you feel like you're hoping for my downfall?" Lin Ye put down his homemade brush and pondered.

"That's why I can punish you." Lilupal blinked, "My Master."

Lin Ye got goose bumps all over his body.

"Hahaha..." Lilupal laughed out loud, totally ungraceful.

Lin Ye watched silently. He somewhat understood the neurotic dancer in front of him. Her so-called despair was probably her disappointment in Ormaz and in humanity.

The way to save Lilupal is to be a benevolent king, avoid making mistakes, and achieve the ideal model of a king in her mind.

But, is it necessary for Lilupal to torture herself? The Red King is dead, and there is no possibility of the Flower God to be resurrected, but she still can't let go of the past.

"By the way," Lilupal stopped laughing and asked ambiguously, "Am I one of the people you care about?"

"We just met."

"According to the development, you and I should become husband and wife. Well, this is what you call pure love. You can't take concubines like Olmaz did. You only need to love me, and I only love you. How wonderful!"

Lin Ye was shocked by Lilupal's words, Pu Xinnu!

"Is there a possibility that the pure love I'm talking about is the love between me and another girl?"

Lilupal was stunned.

……

Huvastra's tax collection envoys came to the Mushanla tribe and collected thirty male slaves, thirty female slaves, and thirty antelopes according to the standards of previous years.

Chapter 615 Twists and turns

The tax collection envoy was not one person but a team of thirteen people in total. They rode on pack animals, held umbrellas, and had annoyed expressions on their faces.

Huvastla dispatched ninety-seven tax-collecting teams to various places. The journey across the desert took two months, and each team passed through an average of eight tribes.

In addition to the tax envoys, they were followed by slaves with their hands tied in a line with ropes. There was also a special shepherd who stayed at the back, driving the antelope with a whip, and next to him was a lapdog.
