For a country, the best way to shift the crisis was to go to war.
As for why? The specific reason was actually very complicated. This was because it involved not only politics, but also economy, culture, and even religion.
However, if one were to put it another way, it might be much easier to understand:
What was that? Was the cause of the crisis due to a small population and a lack of labor? Go rob them, there's everything outside!
What was that? Was the crisis caused by insufficient food? Go rob them, there's everything outside!
What was that? The reason for the crisis was that there were too many people and too little living space? Go rob them, there's everything outside!
What was that? The reason for the crisis was the lack of supplies and the unhappiness of the people? Go rob them, there's everything outside!
In short, no matter what the reason was, the phrase " there's everything outside " could summarize everything.
On the other hand, using war to alleviate social conflicts was also the simplest and most effective way.
After all, if you want to reform from within the country, you will inevitably have to touch your own interests. This kind of cutting knife on yourself will certainly make people feel very painful. Not to mention, a revolution from the bottom up would directly flip the table and would definitely cause chaos in the world.
Therefore, compared to weighing the pros and cons and calculating how to divide the cake all day long, it was better to stick together and discuss how to make this cake bigger!
This was the wisdom of a manager. Although Tina had never studied management before, she had been in a leadership position for a long time, so she deeply understood the importance of making the cake bigger.
A clever housewife can't cook without rice. Without a big cake, no matter how good you are at dividing the cake, it will definitely attract people's dissatisfaction!
Valhalla was actually hiding such a crisis!
"Let's not talk about the pict slaves. Every day, they hope to break free from their slavery status and become free people as soon as possible.”
"What about those free people? They envied the treatment of citizens and hoped to enjoy many privileges like those citizens.”
"As for the citizens…their interests have long been tied to ours. The stronger the country becomes, the more benefits they can enjoy!”
The yearning for a better life was an important pillar that supported them to work hard. On the other hand, this once-in-a-century heavy snow was also an important reason that forced Tina to make the decision of " war."
"Your Majesty, I am very sorry. I was unprepared for this heavy snow. This is a mistake in my work. I request that you punish me by flogging me.”
Tina used a very calm tone to talk about her plan to deal with the aftermath, but it made the hearts of the others present thump.
"This guy…is too ruthless.”
Morgan, who thought of herself as ruthless, looked at Tina in shock. She felt inferior to Tina when she asked for a whipping.
At the same time, Morgan secretly made up his mind that he absolutely couldn't provoke this seemingly ordinary woman!
Being ruthless to others was nothing, but being ruthless to oneself was what a truly ruthless person was!
Compared to Morgan, Li Wei, who thought more, was a little touched.
For Tina, this kind of self-request for flogging would not cause any harm to her interests--This was just like the old demon Zhuge asking Liu Chan to demote three levels after the failure of the Northern Expedition. At that time, not to mention demoting three levels, even if he demoted thirty levels, it was nothing to Zhuge Liang.
As long as he was alive, he would always be the Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty. His status was transcendent, and the so-called rank was no longer important to him.
However, this action was necessary.
Zhuge Liang himself had demoted himself by three ranks, which meant that he had placed all the blame for the failure of the Northern Expedition on himself. And now, Tina had requested to be flogged for the same reason.
Although the snow disaster was a natural disaster, it was also a man-made disaster. If it was not handled well, it might have a negative impact on Li Wei's reputation. And when Tina took over the blame, people would only say that Tina, the butler, did not do her preparations properly. They would not go any further and pursue Li Wei's fault.
However, Li Wei did not think that it was necessary. However, Tina's attitude was quite firm, as if she was punishing herself.
She really felt guilty. She thought that she had finished what she was doing and did not prepare for what was about to happen in the future.
She needed to remember this mistake well, and without a doubt, the most effective way was to be punished.
However, these were all for the future. Right now, she still needed to ensure her health to complete the next step of the plan.
"Although there are no specific statistics, according to the observations over the past few days, this snow disaster may cause 30% to 35% of our losses. In fact, the villages in the remote areas might even suffer greater losses!”
Li Wei nodded silently. In fact, with the system, he could sense the losses more directly.
Not to mention anything else, but the negative population growth was enough to show the seriousness of this snow disaster!
The most important thing was that only half of the winter had passed!
"No one knows if those cattle and sheep can survive this winter. And if the reproduction speed of these livestock is unable to meet our needs…"
Tina didn't need to continue.
If it was just a person who did not have food to eat, of course, he could rely on himself and go to the wild to find food. Whether it was catching fish in the river, digging worms in the soil, looking for worms on trees, or even eating tree bark, as long as they could survive the disaster, they would be willing to suffer a little.
However, if a country had no food to eat…it was already a good choice to go out and fight for food!
"Let's prepare for war first."
Looking at the heavy snow outside, Li Wei sighed helplessly.
With the desire for war and the factors of reality, there was probably nothing that could stop the operation of this war machine.
However, the problem was that historical experience told Li Wei that it was easy to make this machine run, but it was not so easy to stop it!
