Chapter 89 Faith



"Hahaha."

Wang Zheng laughed and took Xiao Yuehua off the dog's back. The dog was a golden Tibetan mastiff, which was raised by a dog slave. It was a gift from a Tibetan chief to the merchant.

Dogs like Tibetan Mastiffs actually don't have high IQs. The saying that they only recognize one owner throughout their life is more like stupidity than loyalty. The process of recognizing their master is just slower than that of other dogs.

It's actually very easy to develop a relationship with this guy as long as you give him some delicious food, feed him a little, and take him out for a run often.

"Are you happy?"

"Um."

Xiao Yuehua nodded vigorously, pointed at the dog and said, "The big dog is also very happy. It likes to carry me and run."

Wang Wu stood up immediately. Wang Zheng frowned and asked, "Haven't the soldiers adapted to this place? What do you want?"

"We may not have fresh ones, but we do have bacon. The pigs here are not castrated, and the smell is no less than that of mutton. Ask your uncle to buy you a smaller pig some other day."

The entire camp is made up of a mixture of bamboo houses and earthen kilns. All of these bamboos were collected along the way. Now there is a legend in Shu that wherever Wang Zheng’s army passes by, all the people will get rich.

Wang Zheng looked at Li Jingye, Chen Fengning and Cheng Bokang. Now these things were all in charge of by the three of them. The three of them nodded respectively, indicating that the situation was indeed as Wang Wu said.

When Wang Zheng entered the tent, everyone else had already arrived. Wang Zheng walked to the main seat and sat down, then looked around at everyone. He found that everyone was sitting rather casually, without any seating arrangement or anything. Wang Wu and Li Jingye sat directly opposite Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng’s camp was located in the north of Songzhou City. The camp had more than 200,000 people and stretched for several miles. Craftsmen and students were in the middle, and soldiers were guarding the periphery.

Xiao Pingan raised his head and asked, "Daddy, is that pork? I mean the fresh kind."

When human power is exhausted, we can only rely on God's will.

But they seem to have no thoughts of their own, they just follow orders. Without precise orders, they immediately become a little overwhelmed, which is quite different from what you want. "

Wang Zheng patted his son's head and said with a smile, "In the future, feed the dog with your sister more often, and it won't be so mean to you."

"Daddy."

The weather has turned cooler, and the bamboo house's floor heating has started burning coal. This stuff is long-lasting and does not require a large amount of burning, but the billowing smoke every time it is added makes the entire camp look like a monster.

Along the way, not only can food, vegetables, meat, cloth and other things be sold to the army, but even bamboo and wood can also be sold. If you are diligent enough and help build camps or roads, you can still get paid.

"There are already enough bamboo houses and earthen kilns for 400,000 people to live in, and they are still being built. There is no shortage of food and other supplies, and a lot of them are delivered every day. We can capture people while preparing at the same time, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with it when the mountain is closed due to heavy snow."

"That depends on the preparations of the craftsmen. After all, our purpose this time is not to kill or plunder, but to tame the Tibetans. If we bring them back but cannot properly settle them down, it will not work."

Xiao Ping'an led the foal over but didn't dare to get close. The big dog was baring its teeth at the foal. Wang Zheng waved to the dog slave. After the dog slave took the dog away, Xiao Ping'an led the foal over.

"But my sister likes it, so you can just pretend to like it. Throw some meat to it from time to time, at least it will stop being so mean to you."

"Hey, I just want to ask, when can we enter the grassland?"

Wu Yi frowned and said, "The situation is not very good. The progress is much slower than I expected. Over the past two months, those Tibetans have indeed been trained to be very obedient.

Wu Yi thought for a moment and said, "I have asked the students to observe and record their daily situations these days and found that they have the habit of praying. Through questioning, I learned that they pray to their gods every day.

Wang is vigorously promoting pig farming in Yuzhou with the help of water spinach. In recent years, the price of salt has become cheaper and cheaper, so Yuzhou produces a lot of bacon every year.

In order to stabilize the price of bacon, Wang Zheng spends a lot of money every year to purchase bacon and store it. Not only bacon, but also a lot of other kinds of grains. This expedition to Tubo is an opportunity to consume the inventory.

"What do you think caused this situation?"

After having lunch with his family, Wang Zheng came to his own tent, which was called a tent, but it was just a larger bamboo house.

"Come on, let's go back and eat."

Wang Zheng looked at Wu Yi again, "How's the situation over there?"

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, "Then you should take it out for a run every day from now on."

The reason why Wang Zheng sent tens of thousands of people back to guard the camp was that he needed to transport resources from Yuzhou continuously.

Wang Zheng walked back holding his son's hand. Xiao Yuehua in his arms asked, "Daddy, is there any mutton?"

"Okay, let's talk about our recent situation. Who will go first?"

Wang Zheng nodded to show that he understood. Almost the entire Tubo territory is located in a plateau area. It is possible for a person to suddenly suffocate while running. The long winter and the barren land make the people here very superstitious.

It is actually a good thing to have faith, even if it is a superstitious faith. Many times people live on that little bit of faith and persistence.

Wang Zheng nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, your mother knows that you like to eat mutton, so she naturally made it for you. Well, it should be mutton stewed with carrots."

Xiao Pingan thought about it and nodded, "Okay."

Although their gods are varied, the contents of their prayers are generally similar, and those contents are completely the slave education instilled in them by the nobles. "

For example, if you tell the people of a certain country that there is no afterlife, many of them will probably lose the courage to live because there is no hope in life at all.

Wang Zheng nodded and asked Wu Yi, "What are you going to do?"

"Disciple has only two choices. One is to make them believe that there is no God in the world, and the other is to replace them with a new God, or to educate them in the name of God. These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Disciple does not know which one to choose for the time being."

Wang Zheng nodded and asked again, "Wu Yi, when did you stop believing that there are gods in this world? I don't think I've ever told you about gods."

Wu Yi pondered for a while and then sighed, "About two years after I met you, as I gained more and more knowledge and learned more from you, I came to believe that there are no gods in this world."
