No matter how unwilling he is, a day and a night have passed now. It will not be so easy to pursue it again.
It was not until the evening of the next day that the scouts under Liu Biguang finally discovered Liu Deng's traces.
"damn it!"
After drawing a circle on the map, Liu Biguang finally understood Liu Deng's plan. This guy clearly planned to make a big circle through Jiaoxi Kingdom and return directly to Dai Kingdom.
But what was even more uncomfortable was that it was too late for him to discover it at this time. Although Liu Deng led a large group of people, two days and two nights had already passed. By the time they caught up, Liu Deng was already safe. He went back to the country of Dai.
"S-Your Majesty, are we still chasing him?"
Lu Hongguang asked in a low voice.
"I'm chasing you! There are basically empty cities in Jiaoxi right now. What can we do to intercept them? What can we do to chase them? By the time you catch up, they will have already returned to Jinyang!"
Liu Biguang roared angrily, raised his foot and kicked over the table in front of him, and walked out of the tent angrily.
After working so hard for so many days, I finally realized that I was so busy that I felt lonely.
This made him feel like he was being treated like a monkey, but there was nothing he could do about it...
"Then, Your Majesty, let's now..."
They chased and failed to catch up, and it seemed that their stay here at this time had no effect.
They don't carry much food and grass. At this time, they have already plundered all the food and grass nearby. If they stay here any longer, I'm afraid they won't be able to solve even the most basic dietary problems.
"Assemble the team and head to Suiyang early tomorrow morning!"
Although he was unwilling to do so, he seemed to have no other choice but to go to Suiyang to meet up. He gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and launched a vigorous rebellion. However, in the end, he was defeated without even defeating a single Daiguo. He hit someone and turned him upside down.
No matter how thick-skinned Liu Biguang was, he now felt that his face was extremely dull.
But this was his only way. Apart from going to Suiyang, he seemed to have no other choice.
Continuing to stay here will only lead to a dead end. If they don't join Liu Bi and the others, relying on the 100,000 troops in his hand, I am afraid that Zhou Yafu will see the loophole in a few days, and they will be really in danger.
Three days later, Liu Deng returned to Jinyang City again.
After returning to Jinyang City without incident, Liu Deng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After learning about the situation, Li Guang and Zhang Tu, who were guarding the city, were inexplicably excited. The entire Dai country was in dire straits, and suddenly they had 50,000 strong laborers. For them, this was a rare good thing.
"King Renben brought it back to you, the rest is up to you to arrange!"
After handing over everything clearly, Liu Deng simply spread his hands and completely regarded him as the big shopkeeper.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, these people and veterans will be properly arranged!"
Zhang Tu's face was full of excitement and he agreed immediately.
"By the way, Your Majesty, the first phase of the buildings at the college has basically been completed. Do you think we can take a little time off next?"
For that academy, Daiguo invested millions of copper coins.
After the war, Zhang Tu immediately sent people to complete the remaining buildings of the college. Fortunately, the original buildings of the college were all made of cement.
Although the rebels wreaked havoc here for a while, they were still unable to destroy the main body of the building. After simple repairs were completed, all the buildings in the first phase of the academy were finally completed as scheduled.
But because manpower is needed everywhere now, according to Zhang Tu's thoughts, he still wants to stop at the academy for the time being.
"It's not a big problem to put it aside for the time being. Let's stay close to the Salt Lake and Iron Foundry first. I'm going to inspect the Hutuo River Valley tomorrow morning. I'll leave matters here to the Grand Tutor!"
Liu Deng stretched as he spoke. Even he felt exhausted after traveling for several days.
Originally, he was planning to go back and sleep for three days and three nights, but thinking about the food crisis in the country, Liu Deng had to cheer up.
Originally, the food in the country was seriously insufficient and it went through several consecutive wars, and then was looted by the rebels. If it is not properly resolved, we don’t know how many people will starve to death this winter.
In previous years, we might still be able to reach out to the imperial court, but this year it is unlikely that the imperial court will have any surplus.
Counting the days, the sweet potatoes in the Hutuo Valley are almost ripe now. Whether this food crisis can be solved smoothly depends on how the harvest here will be this year!
"Your Majesty, please go back and rest first. Just leave this place to the old minister!"
Naturally, Guan Fu was responsible for the placement of the army. When Liu Deng returned to the palace, the entire palace was now decorated with lights.
Not only the entire palace, but Jinyang City is now like a large construction site. There is a constant flow of people on the streets, and everyone is in a hurry.
The entire city is in need of manpower. Countless people are walking through the city, and everything is full of life.
In order to quickly help the people resume production, Zhang Tu immediately established more than a dozen cement kilns. As long as they are local people in Jinyang, if their houses in the village are burned down, they only need to go to the county government office to issue a certificate. With Zhang Wenshu, you can receive five stones of cement directly from the government for free.
Village houses are originally simple, but with cement, they are even faster to build. Under the guidance of personnel sent by the government, the people around Jinyang City became familiar with cement in almost just a few days. usage.
People in the same city helped each other and built a dozen houses in just three days.
After you have a house, plus the relief grain provided by the government, and if you work more diligently on the government's construction site, it won't take long for you to be self-sufficient again!
After taking a shower, changing clothes and going back to his study, and flipping through the paperwork from newspapers from various places, Liu Deng really felt a burst of pain in his body.
He had only been out for a few days, and in just a few days, almost all the treasury near Jinyang had been emptied.
The food supplies for the earthquake disaster alone totaled more than 200,000 dan!
If you want to feed so many mouths, the remaining grain reserves of Daiguo will have to be used up in two months at most.
Liu Deng really didn't feel sleepy at all now. As he held a high position, he naturally had to be responsible for helping these common people fill their bellies.
But facing the millions of people who are waiting for food, even Liu Deng now feels that he is a bit of a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice.
Fortunately, the rain this year is quite sufficient, but I don’t know what the income will be in the Hutuo River Valley this year...
Oh God, God, please don’t play with me...
Liu Deng prayed silently in his heart...
