Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

The situation in Tianzhu has gradually stabilized recently.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the independence of the six northeastern states did not cause much stir in India.

Ordinary people were indifferent to this and had no energy to care. In just half a year, Tianzhu was devastated by Du Weiguo and his men.

The already poor financial situation has become even worse. This huge hole will eventually be borne by the people.

Recently, the Indian government has increased taxes several times for various reasons and printed more rupees twice.

Such measures caused domestic prices to soar, which was just a step away from large-scale inflation. Fortunately, India is an agricultural country, so it did not suffer an economic depression.

The strange thing is that it is understandable that ordinary people don’t care, but even the dignitaries in New Delhi keep silent about it.

After all, India was originally a country with a strong sense of division, and there was basically no concept of nation and country.

There are more than 30 states (including 6 union territories), more than 100 ethnic groups, and there is not even a unified language.

At present, the data released by Tianzhu to the public is that the literacy rate exceeds 10%.

In fact, this is complete nonsense, even more ridiculous than the employment rate in later China.

Given India's personality, he probably can't even count the total population in the country. This so-called ratio is of course just a guess.

Due to historical and geographical factors, the six northeastern states of India have always been at odds with the central government and other provinces, like a country within a country.

More importantly, the six northeastern states are extremely poor, and are at the bottom even in India.

There is no commerce, no industry, no minerals, no specialty products, and even no access to the sea. Apart from the barren land, there are no other resources.

Therefore, from the perspective of economy and people's livelihood, the independent autonomy of the six northeastern states will definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages.

Of course, the strategic losses are incalculable. From then on, it was difficult for India to militarily threaten the three northern countries of Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan at the same time.

However, compared with the decline of the country, the officials in New Delhi are obviously more concerned about their own lives.

Before, almost all members of Luohou's party were killed. Miss Hu's cruelty, brutality and strength shocked everyone.

Now, in India, anyone who is qualified to know of her existence secretly calls her Kali.

In Indian mythology, Kali is the goddess of violence and destruction.

Now, Miss Hu's power in Tianzhu has completely surpassed that of Du Weiguo, and she can basically make her words come true.

The northeastern plateau of India, the throat where three countries meet, the city of Little Motihari.

The city has become particularly lively recently, with a large number of outsiders suddenly pouring in, almost catching up with the original residents of the city.

These people were all prominent figures from the six states, including local officials, powerful families, and local warlords.

They came to pay their respects to the pier.

After all, Motihari is the capital of the six northeastern states after their autonomy. Although the local bosses in the six states are unlikely to recognize it, it at least has a status.

Besides, this city was specifically requested by Miss Hu. So, we should give face to the Buddha instead of the monk. Who would dare not give it to the great "Kali"?
As for Miss Hu, ever since she came to Motihari, she has been clamoring to leave, but now a week has passed and she still hasn't left.

She is a typical person who is hard on the outside but soft on the inside. She is really worried about her best friend of a hundred years, Lin Jiaojiao.

The original Imperial Hotel has now been completely occupied by Old Lynx, who even removed the hotel sign, stopped operating, and renamed it Lin's Residence.

At this moment, the front door of Lin's house was blocked by countless cars of all kinds.
It's like a fucking English historical car show, with luxurious Bentleys, stylish Jaguars, and big and clumsy Land Rovers.

In addition to the cars, there were also people, all of whom were strong men with fierce eyes and weapons on them. There were hundreds of them, forming a huge crowd.

They were all bodyguards, escorts, and servants. The bosses had gone upstairs to meet Miss Hu, and they were not qualified to follow them.

On the top floor, in front of the French window of the suite, Lin Jiaojiao quickly closed the curtains, curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and said sourly:
"Hu Laowu, if you want to show off, I won't stop you, but can you please not bluff on my land?"

"cut!"

On the sofa, Miss Hu crossed her legs, gave her a disdainful look, and sneered:
"Lin Jiaojiao, don't take advantage of me. You said it yourself, the six states in Northeast China are your territory now, and I am here to help you set the rules."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaojiao became even angrier.

"Did I f*cking beg you? What kind of rules are you setting? Whoever wants these six shitty Northeastern states can have them. I don't care anyway."

Recently, Lin Jiaojiao asked someone to inquire about her territory in detail and gained a clearer understanding of the six states in Northeast China.

To put it bluntly, this place is a dead end with no development potential, which makes her feel very angry and a little aggrieved.

Upon hearing this, Miss Hu's eyes became even more playful.

"Lin Jiaojiao, are you a little bit dizzy?"

"Even if the six states are broken, they still have hundreds of thousands of square kilometers and tens of millions of people, which is enough to provide you with fine clothes and delicious food every day. You can also play with dragons and insects as much as you want. Isn't it more comfortable than staying in Zhongnan Mountain and eating the wind?"

Miss Hu's words were like a fuse, instantly angering Lin Jiaojiao.

"You eat lamp wick ash and fart lightly! Hu Laowu, since you think Liubang is good, how about we switch territories?"

"Fuck you~" Miss Hu's temper was also aroused.

But just as she was about to lose her temper, footsteps were heard outside the door. With her and Lin Jiaojiao's hearing ability, they could easily tell that the person coming was Gibson.

Gibson has been following Miss Hu around recently. Seeing her almost single-handedly destroy the entire Tianzhu, his mood every day is like a roller coaster.

He was a very qualified attendant officer, who was able to connect internally and externally and helped Miss Hu solve many of her worries.

Even the visit of the local leaders from the six states was facilitated by Gibson. Otherwise, no matter how powerful Miss Hu was, who would she know?

After entering the door, Gibson said in a concise and solemn voice:

"Ms. Hu, Ms. Lin, the representatives of the six states are basically all here and are waiting in the conference room. Would you like to go down now?"

I have to say that Gibson has a strong talent for languages. He spoke in Chinese and it sounded very fluent.

"Hmph~" Lin Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and said sarcastically:
"I'm not going. They all come here for Hu Laowu. Who do they think they know me?"

Miss Hu rolled her eyes at her in dismay, but she didn't get angry in the end. Instead, she deliberately said to her in anger:
"Okay, if she doesn't go, I will. Anyway, from now on, this three-acre land of Liubang will be governed by my rules."

Miss Hu knew Lin Jiaojiao well. As expected, upon hearing this, her expression changed immediately and she retorted:

"Why should I follow your rules? How can you be so shameless? This is my territory, I make my own rules!"

Before she finished speaking, she stood up and walked out the door. Miss Hu looked at her from behind with a half-smile and said contemptuously, "Are you sure? Who knows you? And, did you make yourself clear?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiaojiao's body froze instantly, and her pretty face turned red.

Lin Jiaojiao's language talent is very poor. So far, her English level is not enough for her to make long speeches.

Finally, the first Northeastern Six States Representatives Conference of India came to a successful conclusion with the support of Miss Hu.

She did not give a long speech, but simply put forward three rules.

First, within three months, the six states will elect a person in charge and form a leadership team. There is no limit on the specific form or place of government.

During this period, any means can be used, whether it is open or covert attacks, or conspiracies and tricks, even if war breaks out.

However, the deadline is only three months. If no one is chosen within this time, the evil gods will designate the person in charge.

Second, 10% of all the income of the six states shall be handed over to the city of Motihari every quarter.

As for the specific amount, Miss Hu gave a simple and rough bottom line answer: each time the cash to be handed in must be no less than 1000 million US dollars, plus 50 tons of grain.

If the money and grain are not enough, other valuable materials can be used to pay off the debt, such as munitions, weapons, minerals, meat, medicinal materials, and young and strong people.

That’s right, Miss Hu clearly pointed out, and Lin Jiaojiao also agreed, that someone else could be hired to cover the debt.

However, the requirements are very high. The candidates must be smart, strong, and have good-looking young men and women. Those who are literate and have skills are given priority.

Third, the evil gods will not interfere with the daily self-government of the six states, but they will put an end to separatism and civil war. Once discovered, they will be severely punished.

After explaining this rule, Miss Hu invited all the representatives to an open space on the outskirts of the city.

Several unlucky people who had publicly expressed their dissatisfaction, resentment, or raised different opinions at the meeting were singled out by her, along with their followers, a total of more than 300 people.

With the joint witness of all the representatives, Lin Jiaojiao showed off her skills.

With a snap of her fingers, countless dragons and insects swept out from the woods like a black wave. In just half a minute, they had devoured them until not even a trace of them was left.

What is even more horrifying is that after devouring more than 300 people, the number of dragon insects has increased visibly to tens of thousands.

Most of the representatives present were well-informed and knew about the danger posed by the dragon worms in the Magic Mist Mountain. However, most of them had never seen the horror of the dragon worms with their own eyes and thought that this was just alarmist talk.

Lin Jiaojiao's effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was perfect this time, and almost everyone was scared silly.

When the surging tide of insects rushed to a few meters in front of the representatives with a momentum that could swallow the sky and devour the earth, almost everyone knelt down, and a few people even wet their pants.

The scene instantly became very lively!

Since this unique execution, the six northeastern states have become independent and have become a place for the evil spirits to be fed. This fact has become irreversible.

After all, Lin Jiaojiao had not been away from the mountains and forests for long, and her experience was still young, so she was generally satisfied with the result.

At the same time, Edinburgh, England.

Today is Monday, and the entire English Isles is still covered in rain.

In the villa where Yang Caiyu lived on Best Western Avenue, when she was reading the story column on Page 7 of the Times as usual, her face changed immediately.

The author is not good, but today's story is particularly short. The first letters of each word are connected in pinyin to form an extremely concise piece of information.

Redbird, the situation has changed. Terminate the operation immediately and wait for new information.

Red Sparrow was her code name. After interpreting the information twice and confirming that it was correct, Yang Caiyu angrily slammed the newspaper on the coffee table.

Although she was successfully brainwashed, her intelligence did not diminish and her reactions were still sharp, so she made the judgment immediately.

This was false information. The intelligence agent Qingluan who had previously passed the message to her must have been exposed.

"Damn it!"

Yang Caiyu stood up angrily, pushed open the door angrily, and walked quickly towards Meilin's residence next door.

The only one who knew this secret was Merlin, and Yang Caiyu thought that he would at most quietly tell Du Weiguo about this news, and would never inform those foreign devils in MI6.

This is also what Yang Caiyu thought was the tacit understanding between her and Merlin.

In her opinion, these are their own internal problems and family affairs, and outsiders should not be allowed to interfere.

He had just knocked on the door, without even a word of greeting, when Yang Caiyu came up and threw the newspaper in front of him, asking him bluntly:

"Merlin, did you tell the British about the information I received through the newspaper?"

She was really angry and didn't even use the honorific title, but Merlin didn't get angry at all. He just nodded calmly and simply acknowledged it.

"Yes, I told them."

"Why?" Yang Caiyu was so angry that her eyes turned red.

"Shortly speaking, this is a matter between him and me. Generally speaking, this is a matter between us Chinese. What does it have to do with the British? And what does it have to do with you?"

Her words were quite harsh, and Merlin's brows slightly frowned, but he still explained patiently:

"Clara, how can you be sure? Is this definitely done by the Chinese? What if it was deliberately instigated by someone with ulterior motives?"

"Impossible!" Yang Caiyu retorted without hesitation.

"If they were outsiders, how could they seek benefits for China? How could they know China's most urgent needs? Also, it is very difficult for foreigners to learn pinyin and hidden characters."

Meilin picked up the newspaper that Yang Caiyu had dropped, flipped to page 7, glanced at it, and said jokingly:
"Clara, do you think today's news is fake? Is that why you concluded that the news was leaked?"

"Of course, it must be fake! Such an important mission, which benefits the country and the people, how could it be terminated for no reason?" Yang Caiyu's tone was very firm.

Merlin flicked the newspaper and raised the corner of his mouth slightly:

"So, what you're implying is that today's intelligence was fabricated by the British. It doesn't seem that difficult."

"As for why they release missions that are beneficial to China, it is because you will only believe and accept this type of mission."

Yang Caiyu was stunned. Just as she was about to retort, Merlin didn't give her a chance to speak:

"As for China's most pressing needs, Clara, you seem to have some misunderstanding of the capabilities of people like us."

"As long as I am willing to spend time and patience, there are no secrets in this world for me." (End of this chapter)
