Chapter 286: Buried on July 4th (Part 1)
The Silver Moon Elder was actually only in his forties and was not too old. He said honestly: "The villain Qian Yi is just a scattered product in the elders' council, and it is not worth mentioning. But Senior Brother Zhang has taken care of the villain in the past. No matter whether it is reasonable, the villain cannot watch Senior Brother Zhang expose his body in the wilderness, but no one has buried it. What's more... Blue Sea Martial God, Senior Brother Zhang has always had a reputation on the moon. Especially in our Silver Moon Sect, we have received favorable care from Senior Brother Zhang, and there are many people who love and respect Senior Brother Zhang. Although... Although Senior Brother Zhang really deserves... damn it. But people die like a lamp that goes out. You are a lot of Blue Sea Martial God, so why bother with the dead again? A little comforting the emotions of the disciples in the sect will not harm you. Instead, you can make the disciples in the sect feel at ease. This is the best strategy."
The words are reasonable. The so-called way of governing is to be kind and powerful. The "power" of the Blue Sea has been given. Next, if you open a "grace" and allow Zhang Zai to be buried, then according to common sense, it can indeed achieve the effect of calming people's hearts. It is necessary to find outsiders who are related to Bai Wubian Duan Qianshan among 200 million people. Lan Hai will definitely not do it by relying on the moon government and the disciples of the Silver Moon Sect. Lan Hai thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's accurate. The matter will be left to you to arrange, and it must be done as soon as possible. Not only Zhang Zai, but the others have also restrained them together."
Qian Yi was overjoyed and quickly bowed to agree. The plasma mixed with broken bones and flesh on the ground was mixed with each other, and it was difficult to tell who was who was. The heads rolling down on the conference table were not easy to clean up. Only Zhang Zai's body was still complete. Qian Yi picked up the body and walked out of the gate of the conference hall.
In the conference hall, Lan Hai sighed, slowly sat down, and said, "Aoyun, what do you think about today?"
Aoyun looked complicated, and his eyes were patrolling the corpses everywhere twice, and snorted: "Brother Lanhai, I know that you did this to stop the implementation of the Mercury Plan and to save our moon's lives. But... but... Is there really no other way besides killing people, can you solve the problem?"
Lan Hai immediately said without hesitation: "Of course there is. But those methods take too long and take too slow results. But we now need to race against time. So we can only cut the mess quickly and use the simplest and most direct method. Five thousand years ago, a strong man once said this. 'The people are like flocks of sheep. Treat them with kindness, and they will only become a mess. Only by giving appropriate fear and pressure can they control them to unite and do things together'. So, as a leader, you must always remember that your identity is a shepherd."
The saying that Lan Hai said that "the people are flocks of sheep" actually comes from the "hell" among the "Four First Ancestors" five thousand years ago. Among the "Four First Ancestors" that year, "Sea Tigers" have always been alone, caring for fish and shrimp in the ocean is better than caring for humans. "Murdering Whale" only exists as the strongest symbol of force in the Blue Dream Organization and rarely holds actual power. As for the "Great White Shark", because he attaches importance to brotherhood, even if he has a stronger power than his younger brother "Lion", he is still willing to be the second person in the Lion Club. None of the three of them can stand alone.
Only "hell" is different. He integrated the knowledge in the book into his own personality and ideals, and created a set of governance theories called "Hell Politics". Using this set of "hell Politics" and his own powerful strength, hell started from scratch and established "Hell Kingdom", and his territory covered the entire Asia, becoming the most powerful country on earth. All the people in the "Hell Kingdom" worshipped "hell" like a god in the world. The great role played by "hell Politics" in it is absolutely the first priority. But rather than how clever the theory of "Hell Politics" is, it is better to say that "hell" itself has long seen all the weaknesses of human nature. If you do this, you will certainly be invincible.
"Hell Politics" belongs to "Hell" himself, and even his adopted son, the old man, cannot perfectly reproduce it. But in order to make the world not forget his great adoptive father, the old man heard what he was from "hell" in his youth in his later years. He recalled the words about how to be a leader and compiled them into a book to spread to later generations. This booklet is called "Hell Politics". It was widely circulated in the era of the God of War. Even if it cannot be said that everyone knows it, it is only as long as it is
He is a leader of a clan and has read it some of it. Blue Ocean is no exception. He had already found this booklet when he had just completed the unification of Japan Fusang, and he read it all in a thorough manner. "Control people's hearts with fear" is a major focus that has been described in detail in the booklet "Hell Politics". There is no doubt that just five thousand years is not enough to change the weakness of human nature. Therefore, when Blue Ocean sacrifices this magic weapon, it immediately comes true like a god.
The Silver Moon Sect Elders Council was originally an organization that actually controlled the lunar regime. The employment and administration of various government departments were completely controlled by them. Therefore, as long as there was no break in this class, no matter who ultimately owned the regime, there would be no problem. The entire member of the Elders Council was killed in total, fifty-three of them were killed one after another, and the remaining ones were less than half. However, under the threat of the strong fear of death, the remaining thirty-seven Silver Moon Elders had a working efficiency beyond imagination. They quickly supplemented the vacancies left by the dead and assumed their responsibilities and obligations. All government departments and institutions were able to maintain normal working conditions.
All the things Lan Hai ordered Elder Tao Bi to do were implemented. The flight ban was implemented that night. The moon became a blocked planet, and no one could come in again, let alone go out. If any spacecraft dared to take off or land without permission, it would be ruthlessly attacked by the air defense system. At the same time, the city martial law order came into effect. A large number of military and police dispatched to isolate all large and small cities on the moon and prohibit all residents from taking to the streets. All homeless vagabonds were arrested and temporarily detained in stadiums or warehouses, waiting for identity identification.
In Beibatu City, where the most out of the world, this order was strictly enforced to the extreme. All casinos, shopping malls, dance halls, nightclubs and other entertainment venues were closed. Foreign tourists must prove that they have legal status, otherwise the military and police have the right to kill them on the spot. However, Beibatu City was originally a city with tourism as its main economic pillar. In addition, the natural characteristics of the gambling industry themselves made the city more mixed. After the forced martial law was implemented, the market became neglected and depressed on the spot, as if it were a ghost. The serious losses could no longer be measured simply by the amount of money.
More importantly, after this martial law, the reputation of Beiba Tu City will definitely plummet. In the future, it will be difficult to attract foreign tourists to spend a lot of money. The lunar economic situation is already bad, and losing the only economic growth point of Beiba Tu City will make it worse. The chances of the lunar government's direct bankruptcy in the next fiscal year suddenly soared to more than 97% of the lunar government.
The consequences of martial law will be so serious, and Blue Ocean is not completely unaware of it. But if this strict method is not used, how can one find out the ill-hearted people hidden among the 200 million sentient beings? If these certainly possessive people will be destroyed, how can one start to destroy the Mercury plan? If the Mercury plan cannot be destroyed by itself, then how many lunar people will die innocently in the end? Therefore, in extraordinary times, it is also helpless to use extraordinary means to deal with it.
The people are ignorant. They often cannot see the future and are easily attracted by some small profits in front of them. Although the crisis brought about by the Mercury Plan is imminent, in the eyes of ordinary people on the moon, they are only as illusory as myths and legends. Not only can they feel real, they are even less likely to accept it. However, due to the martial law and identity identification order, Beiba Tu City suddenly changed from a rich and rich gold cave to a deserted ghost world, resulting in the complete collapse of the entire moon economy. This is something that the people on the moon can see and touch and feel. Suppressing them for this reason may be able to maintain them in a short time, but over time, the consequences may be unimaginable.
Destroying the Mercury Plan and saving the lives of innocent civilians on the moon is of course a good thing. But the correct starting point sometimes does not necessarily guarantee a good result. If Blue Ocean just lets go after destroying Mercury Plan, then the mess left behind may also cause many innocent people to die. If you turn a blind eye to the consequences and just blindly indulge in the result of "I saved hundreds of millions of people", then in fact, Blue Ocean is also the murderer of the moon people, and its essence will not be different from Bai Wubian Duan Qianshan. Therefore, while Blue Ocean commands the elders to implement martial law, it has already begun to imagine how to recover.
The reason why the lunar finances deteriorate is ultimately because there are too many people and the moon's barren resources cannot withstand such heavy population pressure, which has led to a long-term high unemployment rate, which has triggered a chain reaction and finally caused a vicious cycle. If this situation is improved, the only feasible way is to remove the resources from the bottom of the pot and divert part of the population out.
The key to the problem is actually very simple, and any knowledgeable person can see clearly. However, even if you know the problem, it may not be able to solve it. Because according to experts' estimates, in order to relieve the pressure on the moon's population, you must move about 70 to 80 million lunar people to achieve results. However, which country and which force can accept such a large group of people in the population of tens of millions? Perhaps the Bai family royal family can, or maybe the Pingyuan Star four countries can also be. But Bai Wubian's purpose is to use them, and where will he really help them solve the problem? After that, no matter Bai Zheng, Bai Chou, or the Pingyuan Star four emperors, they have no friendship with the "Silver Moon Five Saints", and it is even more impossible to make such selfless dedication and be in trouble for no reason.
However, the times change, and the current situation is different from before. First, Blue Ocean and Fierce Wind are sworn brothers. Secondly, during the period of the Galaxy's rule, the moon sent a total of 100,000 mercenaries twice to help the Far North Empire fight against Ximen Ming's invasion. It can be said that the Blue Ocean inherited the extremely deep human favors of the Moon. On the other hand, the two countries on Earth, the Japanese Fusang, Blue Kingdom, and Pingyuan Xingxi and North are now all owned by the Blue Ocean. Together the resources of the three places have to absorb and digest 70 million people. Although there will definitely be various difficulties, it is not an impossible task.
Fusang, Blue Kingdom, and Plain Star in Japan, the living environments of the above three places are definitely too much better than the moon. As long as the Blue Ocean announces this large-scale immigration plan, the lunar people will only seek it and will never be dissatisfied. However, the 200 million people on the moon can immigrate, but only about 70 million people can immigrate. Then whoever leaves and stays will become a new problem. The so-called "not worrying about lack of people but worrying about inequality" If there is no fair, just and open enough to preside over the presidency, the lunar people will inevitably cause large-scale chaos again in order to compete for limited immigration quotas. That is, it will not save people, but it will harm people.
In addition, even if tens of millions of people are able to absorb and digest these populations, they must make detailed plans and relevant arrangements in advance, and prepare enough food, water, housing, clothes, shoes, bedding, medical supplies, and medicines. Finally, the work and life problems of these immigrants after they have moved here must be considered. If one of the tasks is not done well and one problem is not considered carefully enough, the consequences that may arise will definitely be disastrous.
Because of this, it is absolutely perfunctory and irresponsible to propose immigration plans before doing these tasks. Although Blue Ocean has a general idea, it has also notified the Earth's Japanese Fusang side to start relevant preparations (Pingyuan Star and Blue Kingdom are too far away to conduct real-time communication, so they can only send a contact spacecraft to report first, and there is a certain delay in time), but when it comes to the public plan, it is still too far away and the time is not suitable. Therefore, the relevant ideas and plans of Blue Ocean only privately told Aoyun that. Even Taobi and Qian Yi, two heavyweights who are currently among the top in the Elders' Council, do not know Blue Ocean's plans at present. However, the most concerned issue for all members of the Elders' Council is how to avoid moving their heads. As for other things, where do they still care about so much?
The flight ban and martial law were implemented until the second week, and the markets in all cities of the moon were still depressed and deserted. The strict identity identification and investigation work were still in an orderly manner. If it was not effective, it would definitely be impossible. In two weeks, the moon's military and police searched more than 300 criminals who had committed various crimes in various cities, and were confirmed to have committed various crimes on Earth and Plain Star. However, after review, there was no evidence to prove that these people were related to Bai Wubian or Duan Qianshan. Even if they were just suspicious, they could not doubt it.
The screening and investigation are so strict that people who are related to Bai Wubian or Duan Qianshan cannot be found. This can only explain one thing. That is, these people not only lurk very deeply, but must have established a considerable degree of power and relationship among the locals on the moon. Otherwise, without the assistance of locals to cover them, outsiders will definitely not be able to hide their identities on the moon for a long time.
Even though we know that those people must exist, we can't hold them back. If we were ordinary people, we would inevitably feel anxious in the face of this stalemate that was unable to open up the situation. However, now, with the help of Aoyun, we indirectly control the entire moon. Time and initiative are in our hands, and the Blue Ocean is not in a hurry at all. Because no matter how deep the outsiders are lurking, as long as they still want to implement the Mercury Plan, they must jump out to carry out activities. As long as they jump out, there will of course be flaws to catch and clues to find. So now, what Blue Ocean needs to do is just show enough patience and wait quietly.
In fact, there is no need to wait too long. The arrival of the wedge machine came faster than many people expected. After the great cleaning of the elders' council in the conference hall that day, Lan Hai personally promised Elder Qian Yi to allow the other party to restrain the bodies of the former elders' council leader Zhang Zai and the fifty-six elders, and then be buried. But at that time, Lan Hai was thinking about "allowing these dead people to be put into coffins and buried in the cemetery together."
In Qian Yi's understanding, the so-called burial is a general term for a whole set of etiquette. Putting the coffin into the cemetery and then burying it with loess is only one of the steps. Before this, all the family and disciples of Elder Yinyue had to be collected and held a ceremony for memorial and farewell. Then erect a statue and a monument to commemorate it, which is called a funeral. Otherwise, if the body is just buried in the ground, wouldn't it be a great disrespect to the dead?
If you don’t respect it, you don’t respect it. To be honest, Lan Hai doesn’t think there is anything to respect these elders. The financial situation of the moon is so bad, and most ordinary people are hungry and full. As the leader of the moon, these elders should share the joys and sorrows with the people. However, everything they saw when they met Zhang Zai that day made Lan Hai unable to believe that the other party had a half-hearted spirit of sharing joys and sorrows. In addition, after the order for the house search was issued, the property of more than 50 Silver Moon elders combined reached about 60% of the budget for the Moon’s fiscal year. Such an astonishing figure, compared with the lack of financial situation on the moon, Lan Hai even owed half of the favorable feelings for these Silver Moon elders.
Blue Ocean is this view. But in fact, things are not like this, either this or that, either black or white. As we all know, the Silver Moon Sect has become two major systems: true disciples and outer disciples. There are only five true disciples in the House of True Transmission from generation to generation, and only these five are qualified to practice the highest martial arts of the Sect. Therefore, for most of the time in the fifty centuries, those who can sit on the supreme throne of "Moon Martial God" must be one of the five true disciples, with only a very short period of two or three hundred years. Although the outer disciples are numerous, they can only join the elders' council and cannot go further. Over time, it is inevitable that some outer disciples will feel unwilling and resentful about this.
In order to compensate and appease the outer disciples, I don’t know when to allow members of the elders’ council to gain some benefits with their posts, it became a tacit unspoken rule between the outer disciples and the true disciples. Even if the Silver Moon Elders who were cleaned by the Blue Ocean and then searched their homes, even if their wealth was richer than other moon people, in the eyes of all the people of the Silver Moon Sect, it was only natural and not worth making a fuss, and there was nothing to blame. The current "Moon Martial God" Galaxy, the previous "Silver Moon Five Saints", the masters of the "Silver Moon Five Saints", and their masters of the past dynasties, and even the "Moon Emperor" Lan Wuji, the "Silver Moon Emperor" that year, maintained a tacit attitude towards this behavior. However, Lan Hai confiscated their homes for this reason. Wouldn’t it completely destroy the unspoken rules and completely disrupt the balance gradually formed over the past few decades?
As an outsider, Lan Hai did not understand the various things among them at all. Or, even if he understood, he would not care. So that day he would agree to Qian Yi and allow Zhang Zai to stay away and other cleaned Silver Moon Elders. If Lan Hai could foresee the future like the Three-Eyed Martial God at this time, then he would probably not have agreed to be so refreshed. It’s a pity...this thing like regret medicine never exists.
The seventeenth day after the execution of the martial law order was July 4, 5018. This day was the day when Zhang Zai and a total of 52 other Yinyue elders were funeral and held a funeral together. To be fair, Qian Yi, who presided over the funeral, did not want to take the opportunity to do anything. He was indeed just trying to hold the funeral well to repay Zhang Zai's kindness to take care of himself and end the friendship between his fellow disciples. But sometimes, as long as there is a beginning, there is no way to control how to develop next.
"Imperial Chronicle" July 4, 5018, this seemingly ordinary day is destined to leave a brilliant mark in the history of the moon! The fate of the moon, the fate of the entire solar system, and the life, death, misfortune and fortune of countless people will be completely changed because of this day!
