"Those foreign races were so frightened by the power of the king that they did not dare to kill people at will, but they looted the food that the northern subjects had prepared for the winter!"
"Although Beibohou Chonghou Hu is brave enough to be worthy of ten thousand people, the aliens only grab food and don't kill people, and the battle line is extremely long. They just grab the food and run away, and they don't compete head-on with Beibohou's army. Beibohou There’s nothing you can do about it!”
"The Dragon Clan is even more frightened by the King's decree and does not dare to rain seafood at will. Therefore, people in many places in the north are now in a situation of starvation!"
Speaking of this, Wen Zhong spoke again: "Your Majesty, why not ask the Dragon Clan to rain seafood again to solve the hunger and cold of the people in the north?"
"No!"
At this time,
Prime Minister Shang Rong, who had been busy with Haiyan affairs and had just returned to the DPRK, suddenly stepped forward to stop him.
He also explained: "This matter cannot be done again. Your Majesty, the good weather in the prehistoric times and the abundant harvests in various places have reached their limit. If the Dragon Clan is allowed to rain seafood again to solve everyone's problems, I am worried that if this continues, my big businessman will only know how to enjoy, and not Don’t want to work!”
After hearing this, Di Xin nodded and said, "What the Prime Minister said makes sense!"
"Your Majesty, I have another plan to ask the northern princes to use part of their military rations to support the hungry people in the north. However, this can only alleviate the temporary hardship, but it cannot support the hungry people in the north through the cold winter!"
After hearing Zhong's words, he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "I sincerely request your Majesty to issue an order to collect grain from various places in Dachang and transfer it to the north to alleviate the people's hunger. As for the foreign tribes outside the country, I ask for orders to raise troops to conquer the foreign tribes in the north on the first day of spring. !”
"Your Majesty, I know what your Majesty wants, but most of the foreign races outside the Great Wall live in the mountains, and they are no different from wild beasts. If sending troops to conquer is time-consuming and laborious, and it is extremely cold outside the Great Wall, our merchant soldiers will not be able to adapt to that environment, let alone fight. !”
"Your Majesty, only the ordinary soldiers of my great merchant can be used for this matter. Never use the armored divine weapons. The number of divine soldiers is limited. What keeps my great merchant standing is this countless army of ordinary people!"
…
Wen Zhong's words were sharp and sonorous. When he finished speaking, the entire court fell into a deathly silence.
this moment,
Shen Gongbao refreshed his understanding of Wen Zhong!
While everyone was still shocked, Shen Gongbao suddenly walked out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what the Grand Master said makes sense. As the saying goes, before the troops and horses are moved, food and grass go first. The first thing now is to solve the problem of the hungry people in the north and send troops to conquer. As I wish - don’t be in a hurry!"
At this time,
Other ministers also came out one after another——
"Your Majesty, we should first deal with the hungry people in the north. As for the foreign tribes, I suggest that Bei Bohou lead troops to resist!"
"I will reconsider!"
"I will reconsider!"
…
"The words of the Grand Master and the Imperial Master are reasonable, and it is rare for you all to have such unified opinions. In this case, the matter of levying grain and grass will be left to Jizi, Weizi, and Weiziqi, and the matter of troop dispatching will be left to the Grand Master and King Wu Cheng negotiates.”
After the ministers discussed the result, Emperor Xin immediately made the decision, but he still left the Wenge people, Wen Zhong, and Huang Feihu behind afterwards.
Because the matter of levying grain, fodder and troops cannot be solved with just a few words!
Especially now, the most urgent task is to adjust the food supply first, but the escort, Wen Zhong and others suggested that the Iron Armored Army should go forward, and even Jizi, Weizi, and Weiziqi strongly agreed.
Just finalized this matter,
A palace official suddenly walked over in a hurry——
"Your Majesty, the Nine-Tailed Empress would like to invite you to come over. She said that she has some good things that she would like to invite you to appreciate together!"
"Tell Xiangrui that I have something important at hand right now. When I finish my work, I will come over!"
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
The palace attendant who came to report said this and walked away quickly with small steps, while a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
After the matter was finalized briefly and Jizi, Weizi, and Weiziqi asked for a few blank Human Emperor's Edicts, Di Xin distributed the 'Demon-Breaking Pill' to everyone.
At the same time, he gave the rest to Wen Zhong and asked him to distribute it to the Iron Armor Army!
Because when dealing with the demons before, twelve people of the armored army died, so there were twelve left.
After finishing the matter at hand, it was already afternoon. After everyone left, Di Xin continued to refine the half drop of ancestral dragon essence and blood in the Human Emperor's Palace.
As for the nine-tailed fox, he had forgotten it again!
the next day,
Just after the court meeting ended, Nine-tailed Fox sent someone to invite Di Xin again, but at this moment, the Dragon King of the West Sea suddenly came to ask for a meeting, saying that Du Yuanxian had something to report to Di Xin!
It turned out that he had also heard about the invasion of foreign tribes from the north, and knew that Dashang was short of food, so he planned to donate the excess food to Dashang!
"The Human Emperor doesn't know that Du Yuanxian led everyone to open up wasteland and received the treasure bag given by the Human Emperor. In addition, half of the fertile land in the west is covered with greenery. Moreover, the food that usually only matures for one season a year can be matured in the west in a year. After three seasons, the West now has a vast breadth of food and land.”
The Dragon King of the West Sea said with a smile on his face: "This time the old dragon comes to report to the Emperor. It will take up to a month for the teleportation array to be built!"
"oh?"
After hearing this, Di Xin's heart moved, as if he saw the bitter gourd face of Zhunti and Zhunti, so he asked with a smile: "The seeds in the grain bag are planted in the West, and they can be harvested three times a year?"
"Yes, Human Emperor, not only can those crops be ripe for three seasons, but they are also extremely plump. For the same grains, the crops grown in the West are more than double those grown in Dashang!"
"In this case, after the teleportation array is built, I will send more people to the west to open up wasteland!"
"Human Emperor, Du Yuanxian also has this intention. He said that as long as there are enough people, the West will be the granary of Dashang from now on!"
"The West can be developed like this. What I promised to the Second Sage of the West has been accomplished!"
"The Human Emperor is right. The Second Sage of the West must be extremely grateful to the Human Emperor!"
…
at the same time,
The west,
Zhunti said with a mournful face: "Brother, I can't bear it anymore, I can't bear it anymore. The sporadic merits we get from transforming spiritual energy to nourish the West can't make up for the consumption of these people!"
"Things have developed to this point, what can I do?" Jie Yin said with a dark face: "Junior brother, your good Taoist friend 'Amitabha' agreed to the Human Emperor, but grafted the cause and effect into my Western religion."
Zhunti retorted with a dark face: "Senior brother, I was the one who nodded at that time and said that a little merit is nothing!"
"A little bit?"
Jie Yin pointed at the light spot of merit that appeared again from Lingshan Mountain and said angrily: "This is obviously 100 million... Huh? Then why did Du Yuanxian move all the food out? What's going on?"
The next second,
Amitabha, with a smile on his face, appeared in front of Du Yuanxian in an instant, and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Donor Du, is this...is there something wrong with these grains?"
"Huh? It turns out it's the Immortal. It just so happens that the villain has something to do and wants to ask the Immortal for help!"
After hearing this, Amitabha said subconsciously: "Donor Du, if you have anything to say, just say it. We, the Taoists, are diligent in cultivating merits, and if we can help, we will definitely help!"
Du Yuanxian pointed to the three grain mountains not far away and pleaded with his face: "The foreign tribes from the north invaded and millions of compatriots were robbed of their winter grain reserves. They had no food to survive the winter. Please use your magical power to send these grains to the court." Outside Song City, it will be distributed uniformly by the king!"
After hearing this, the smile on Amitabha's face froze instantly.
After listening, he said expressionlessly: "Junior brother, our Western religion will be destroyed sooner or later in the hands of a good corpse like you, how about you beat him to death?!"
Zhunti: "..."
