The war launched by a dozen neighboring countries against the Louis Empire ended with the excavator brigade and the special mobile crane team razing their capital and capturing their king and nobles.
The entire war lasted for three weeks. One person from the Inquisition was killed and two were slightly injured. At such a small cost, 100,000 coalition troops were captured and the war was won.
When Jones came to report the results of the battle, Le Jing was writing the five-year plan for the Louis Empire. When he heard that someone had died, he asked without even looking up, "Who died? How did they die?"
He has forced all the magicians to the desert to carry out the Ant Forest Project. Jones and his men drove excavators, which was equivalent to a full-level large-scale massacre of the novice village in the era of cold weapons. Even so, people could still die. Could it be that some magicians slipped through the net?
Hearing Le Jing's question, Jones's expression suddenly became extremely complicated: "It was Mohammed, the leader of a terrorist organization in the Middle East. When he...when he urinated, his urine splashed on the venomous snake," he tried to hold his face tight and maintain a solemn and deep expression, "The venomous snake bit him...there, no one was willing to help him suck out the venom. We considered bloodletting treatment, but he died too quickly...cough."
Jones coughed and barely suppressed a laugh. He was professionally trained not to laugh unless necessary!
Thinking about how Mohammed was a terrorist who spent his entire life fighting wits and courage with the US military, but died so undignifiedly in the end, it really makes people sigh... and at the same time, makes people want to laugh.
Even though he was Le Jing, he was speechless for a second because of this bizarre cause of death. As a man, he empathized with Mohammed's pain.
Jones coughed again, trying to maintain the calmness of an intelligence dealer who had seen a lot of storms, and mentioned the official business seriously: "We have taken the captured king and nobles and 100,000 coalition troops back to the country. May I ask how your majesty plans to deal with them?"
Le Jing pondered for a few seconds and told Jones, "Find some people, register their information, and assign them jobs based on their specialties. If they don't have special skills, let them do hard labor. Pay them according to the salary standards for freemen."
Jones withdrew.
Le Jing stared at the unfinished five-year plan on the paper, slightly distracted.
People are a very valuable resource.
What the world lacks most now is people.
Building bridges, paving roads, farming, reclaiming land, building houses and planting trees, which one does not require manpower?
The world also lacks intellectuals.
Apart from magic and extraordinary races, the level of productivity development in this world is no different from that of Medieval Europe on Earth. Not only are the lower-class people impoverished, but even the king and nobles may be illiterate.
Take the Louis Empire as an example. Less than half of the nobles in the upper class can read and write, and the rest are uneducated and good-for-nothings.
According to the course of history, the world will gradually give birth to the sprouts of humanism and capitalism. People will gradually break free from the shackles of thought, resist the oppression of the feudal system bit by bit, and eventually establish a political system suitable for this world. It may be capitalism, it may be socialism, or it may be a political system that has never appeared on Earth.
That is the future of this world and has nothing to do with Le Jing.
Le Jing's mission is to ensure the continuation of civilization in this world, not to change or accelerate the process of civilization in this world. Any reform that exceeds the current level of development of social productivity will only end in failure, such as Wang Mang's New Deal at the end of the Han Dynasty and the People's Commune in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The crisis facing the world is serious environmental pollution.
One hundred and fifty years ago, a war between gods broke out here. The high and mighty gods used their powers wantonly in this world, not caring what kind of damage it would cause to the world.
As a result, acid rain began to fall from the sky, fertile fields turned into deserts, large numbers of dead fish floated in the sea, and coupled with natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and tornadoes, the world gradually moved towards destruction under the ravages of divine power.
Later, the war between gods ended and the gods abandoned this world.
In such a harsh environment, the indigenous people struggled to survive for more than a hundred years and finally waited for the happy scene.
But Le Jing is not their savior, and he cannot save everyone.
What he had to do was to ensure that the world's population remained at a level that could sustain civilization. In his estimation, it was enough to keep most of the people in the Louis Empire alive for civilization to continue.
To this end, he will solve the world's environmental pollution crisis to a certain extent.
After pollution is solved, how the world will develop and how people will live will have nothing to do with Lejing.
Therefore, the agricultural machinery that Le Jing got from Earth is currently only operated by Earthlings. He does not intend to, nor can he allow the natives of this world to operate and learn to use it. And letting those criminals raise pigs, chickens and farm is just to ensure that the population of the natives will not decline further.
He will not allow the people of this world to learn about the culture and knowledge of the Earth.
However, after knowing the answer, it is indeed a bit unbearable to keep from revealing the question.
Le Jing looked at the unfinished five-year plan, sighed, tore it up, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.
The world has its own path to follow and he shouldn't interfere.
Moreover, the answers from Earth may not be applicable to this world. The development of civilizations should not be stereotyped.
He was looking forward to seeing what kind of unique civilization would emerge from this magical world.
…
Lin Bin and Lin Lei's life has been particularly fulfilling recently.
Driven by the Mexican drug lord Francisco's personal example, they deeply realized the mistakes they had made in the past and began to actively devote their limited lives to the unlimited pig farming business.
Moreover, in just one month, they were able to quit drugs!
All this is thanks to Francisco's hard teaching.
Francisco is very experienced in dealing with people suffering from drug addiction.
He simply tied up Lin Bin and Lin Lei, and fed them two kilograms of vodka every day, making them pass out and drunk until they were almost fainted and could not even feel the pain of the drug addiction. He did this for two weeks in a row. Not only did they successfully quit drugs, they also developed a good alcohol tolerance and could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!
After doing this, even Lawrence couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "You're really good."
"What's so great about it? It's just a temporary solution. As long as they return to Earth, they will definitely relapse." Francisco blew out a smoke ring and said calmly, almost coldly, "Drugs are something that, once you get addicted, it's hard to quit."
Lawrence's eyes flickered. "Not necessarily. I think people with strong willpower can easily get rid of their addiction to drugs."
Francisco sneered at Lawrence and shook off the ash from his cigarette. "It's fate that we met. I'll give you one more piece of advice. Don't touch drugs, otherwise you'll be a useless person in this life. Don't think that drug addiction can be overcome by willpower. To be honest, I've only seen two people successfully quit drugs in my life, and that was because they were serious criminals and had to stay in prison for the rest of their lives. Apart from these two people, I've never seen anyone successfully quit drugs."
He took a long puff of his cigarette, threw away the cigarette butt and stamped it out with the sole of his shoe, then said to Lawrence who seemed to be thinking about something, "So I sell drugs, but I will never take them."
"I've been looking for you for a long time, and you're here." Jones stood outside the pigpen, pinching his nose, looking at them with a look of incredible doubt: "What's wrong with you? Is it that smoking in the pigpen smells better?"
Francisco: ...
Lawrence twitched his lips, "What do you want from us?"
Jones relayed Le Jing's words in detail: "The Demon King asked us to register the information of the prisoners and assign them tasks according to their specialties..."
Lawrence's face darkened. "I have to go to the fields to plant rice later, so I don't have time."
Francisco scowled, "I have to feed the pigs too, so I don't have time."
"That's none of my business. Anyway, this is the Demon King's mission, so you guys can handle it. If you can't complete the mission, the worst that can happen is that we can all go to heaven together." Jones showed a sinister smile: "You are not afraid of hell, so you must not be afraid of heaven, right?"
Francisco: "...Wait a minute, I'll find some people for you." He pulled out a walkie-talkie from his pocket and said in broken Mandarin: "Erlin, come here."
A minute later, Lin Bin and Lin Lei appeared outside the pigpen, panting, with the same flattering smile on their faces, "Boss, are you looking for me?"
Francisco pointed to the two men and said to Jones, "These two are for you."
Jones looked at the two skinny men critically, a little disdainful, "Just the two of them? Not enough. We need to collect basic information on hundreds of thousands of people, at least a few hundred people are needed."
Francisco said calmly: "Just let the natives do this kind of thing."
Jones was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead and said, "I was so busy that I forgot about the ready-made labor force."
Lin Bin and Lin Lei watched these people communicating in a foreign language. They didn't understand what they were saying at all, but they didn't dare to disturb them.
When they saw that the conversation between the bosses seemed to have come to an end, they cautiously said to Jones, the only one who was fluent in Chinese: "Boss, we still have some brothers on Earth. I wonder if we can ask them to come here to help."
Jones raised his eyelids, his eyes sparkling, "Who are they?"
Lin Bin rushed to answer: "Well... they are not good people. They take drugs like us and do some sneaky things. That's why we want them to come here for reform." In fact, it's because those people are their enemies. They can't be the only ones who suffer! Their enemies must also suffer!
Jones would certainly be happy to have some people come and help them with the work.
Jones said: "I need to ask the Demon King for his opinion on this matter."
※
Le Jing readily agreed to Jones' proposal. He had been recruiting world-class villains for reform, which had caused a certain degree of commotion in the real world, so he should keep a low profile. Just like Jones said, he should find some small fish and shrimps to work for him and keep the impact to a minimum.
…
Zheng Tuanwei's face turned pale, and he felt that things were really weird recently.
Recently, there are no drug addicts in their jurisdiction, not even any prostitutes!
He didn't catch any of the drug addicts reported to him by his informant! It was as if those people had disappeared from the face of the earth. What would happen to his quotas and performance if this continued?
Drug addicts mysteriously disappear one after another. Is this a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality?
No, this is a rare and major case!
After reporting the mysterious disappearances of drug addicts to his superiors, Zheng Tuanwei immediately set up a special task force to investigate this serial disappearance of drug addicts.
