Chapter 99 Zhunti: Senior brother, I can’t bear it anymore, I can’t bear it anymore! (2)
“Those foreign races were frightened by the power of the king and did not dare to kill people at will, but they looted the food prepared by the northern subjects for the winter!”
“Although Beibohou Chonghouhu has Ten thousand people are not worthy of bravery, but the aliens only robbed food, not killing people, and the battle line was extremely long. They just ran away after grabbing the food, and did not directly compete with Beibohou's army. Beibohou was also restrained by this. There is nothing we can do!”
“The Dragon Clan is even more frightened by the King’s decree and does not dare to rain seafood at will, so 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 just returned to the DPRK and had been busy with Haiyan affairs, suddenly stepped forward to stop him.
And explained: "This matter cannot be done again. Your Majesty, the good weather in the prehistoric times and the harvests in various places have reached their limit. If the Dragon Clan rains seafood again to solve everyone's problems, I am worried that if this continues, I will be in trouble. Businessmen only know how to enjoy themselves and not work!”
After hearing this, Di Xin nodded and said, “The Prime Minister is right!”
"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!"
Wen Zhong said After finishing, he knelt on the ground, He said in a voice: "I sincerely request your Majesty to issue an order to collect grain from various places in the Great Shang Dynasty and transfer it to the north to alleviate the hunger of the people. As for the foreign tribes outside the country, I would like to ask for orders to raise troops to conquer the foreign tribes in the north on the first day of spring!"
" Your Majesty, I know your Majesty’s heart I understand, 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!"
< br>“ Your Majesty, only ordinary soldiers of our great merchant can be used for this matter, never use iron-armored magic weapons. The number of magic soldiers is limited, and it is this countless army of ordinary people that keeps our great merchant standing!"
< br>……
Wen Zhong's words were sharp and sonorous. When he finished speaking, the entire court fell into a deathly silence.
At 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. The issue of sending troops to conquer is based on the wishes of the ministers - don't rush it! "
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!"
"My lord. Reconsideration!”
“Reconsideration!”
……
"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 Wucheng negotiated. "
After the ministers discussed the results, Emperor Xin immediately made the decision, but he still left everyone in Wenge, as well as Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu behind.
Because the matter of recruiting grain, grass 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. Even Jizi, Weizi, and Weiziqi were very Agree.
Just finished this matter,
A palace servant suddenly came over in a hurry -
"Your Majesty, the Nine-Tailed Empress would like to invite you to come over and say that she has some good things that you would like to appreciate together!"
"Tell Xiangrui, I am alone now There is something important at hand, so I will come over when I finish my work!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The palace man who came to report said and walked quickly away. , and at the same time, 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 more 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 Armored 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 has forgotten it again!
The next day,
the court meeting had just ended, and the 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 turns out that he also heard about the invasion of foreign tribes from the north. He knew that Dashang was short of food, so he was going 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, and usually only one season of food is harvested a year. a year in the west It can be ripe for three seasons, and now the food in the west is vast."
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 to teleport the formation. It can be built!”
"Oh?"
Di Xin's heart moved after hearing this, as if he saw the bitter gourd faces of Jie Yin and Zhunti, so he asked with a smile: "The seeds in the grain bag are planted in the West and can be ripe for three seasons a year. ?”
“Yes, Human Emperor, those crops can not only be ripe for three seasons, but also extremely plump. The same grains, Western The crops grown are more than double those in Dashang territory!"
"In this case, after the teleportation array is built, I will send more people to open up wasteland in the west!"
< br>"The Human Emperor, Du Yuanxian also had 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 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!"
>…
Meanwhile,
the West,
Zhunti said with a sad 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. At 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 Karma into my Western religion. "
Zhunti retorted with a dark face: "Senior brother, he nodded at that time, and he said that a little merit is nothing!"
"A little bit?"
< br>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 happened?"
The next second,
Amitabha appeared in front of Du Yuanxian with a smile on his face, and said with a puzzled expression: "Donor Du, is this... is there something wrong with these grains?"
"Eh? ? It turns out to be the Immortal. It just so happens that I have something to ask the Immortal for help."
After hearing this, Amitabha subconsciously said: "Almsgiver Du! Just say it, we cultivators are diligent in cultivating merits, and we will definitely help if we can."
Du Yuanxian pointed to the three grain mountains not far away, and pleaded with his face: "The foreign tribes from the north are invading, and hundreds of them are here! Tens of thousands of compatriots have been robbed of their winter grain reserves and have no food to survive the winter. Please use your magical power to send these grains to the outside of Chaoge City and hand them over to the king for unified distribution!”
After hearing this, the smile on Amitabha's face froze instantly.
After listening to the introduction, 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 kill him?!"
