Along the way, Ning Zhe had only two words to comment on Jing Clan: Tragic!

The four clans in the Northern Wilderness were originally an interdependent ecosystem. The Xiahou clan controlled forest resources and rare mineral deposits, the Jing clan owned a large amount of oil and natural gas, the Pei clan mainly monopolized metals and coal mines, and the Lu clan owned countless grains.

The four valves each take what they need, use the resources at their disposal to check and balance each other, and are also dependent on each other.

Now that the Northern Wilderness has been unified, the Xiahou family, as the controller of this land, will naturally adopt a suppressive attitude towards the Jing clan who are always raising a high profile. The Pei family is too busy to take care of themselves, and it is difficult to provide help to their allies, the Jing clan, and is even forced by the Xiahou clan

The Lu family was closely tied to the Xiahou family, which caused the Jing clan to become an isolated island and was completely blockaded.

This blockade is exactly a strategy adopted by the Xiahou family, preparing to make the Jing clan surrender in terms of resources in order to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy without fighting.

It is undeniable that the Xiahou family's strategy has indeed had the desired effect. Now there has been a large-scale famine in the Jing clan, and many fortresses have experienced food shortages.

In order to alleviate the food crisis in the fortress, Jingcai has racked its brains to ensure the normal life of the fortress residents. Some extremely poor fortresses have even begun to arrange for fortress residents to go to factories in the outer city to replace the jobs of the refugees, thereby saving money.

Ration, improve the survival probability of the fortress people.

For hundreds of years, refugees have been working for the chaebol for generations like machines, existing as property and accessories of the chaebol. Once the chaebol abandons this group, they will have no ability to survive on their own.

The Jing clan was not afraid that this move would offend the refugees, because hundreds of years of rule had made them see one thing clearly, and that was the ignorance and helplessness of the refugees.

People's ability to survive is very strong. No matter how bad the environment is, there will always be refugees who will survive the hard times. As long as the plutocrats give them job opportunities again, these refugees will still be willing to work as slaves in factories.

The refugees have no choice. The distance between the fortresses and the backward transportation means that they are destined to be unable to escape from their inherent survival area. Even in the harshest environment, there are always refugees who want to see the light. I believe that as long as they are willing to persevere, they will be able to survive.

The future will definitely get better, and this persistence has made the refugee group accustomed to accepting the changes for hundreds of years.

It is unprecedented in history for people from the fortress to work in factories outside the city. Ning Zhe, Zhang Fang, and Hu Yihan all have different views on this. No matter whether they say that the Jing clan is militaristic or desperate, their crazy behavior

This action indeed shows the attitude of Jihe to burn the boat.

Along the way, there were vacant refugee villages and skeletons on the ground, which had reached the point of being deserted.

The refugees had no choice but to turn into bandits, but their inferior weapons gave them almost no chance of success, so they could only loot smaller refugee villages.

The ecological environment of the refugee area is inherently abnormal. All the materials needed by the refugees are provided by the chaebol. When the chaebol abandons the refugee area, even though the refugees compete with each other, they actually do not have the resources they need.

At the beginning, Ning Zhe met the refugee team and distributed some supplies to them, but there were too many refugees in Jingclan. Even if they had begun to reduce their rations, it was still difficult to help so many refugees. In the end, the team

There was only food left for personal use. When faced with the looting by the refugees, they could only choose to avoid them and not fight back.

Ning Zhe originally thought that the situation in No. 111, as the capital of the Jing clan, would be better, but it turned out that the scene outside the fortress of No. 111 was still a desolate scene. Bodies could be seen on the road from time to time. It was night, but there was not a trace of light.

The capital of Jingclan has a strict curfew system. Although Gao Jun is a guest of the Foreign Office, he is not qualified to enter the city at night because he has no official status. Now that the market town outside the city is empty, everyone just found a courtyard.

Rest and prepare to enter the fortress early the next morning.

Lin Xun walked into the yard, checked inside and outside, and after arranging the sentries on duty, he told the others: "Everyone should make a fire to keep warm. Cans and other smelly foods are not allowed to avoid attracting hungry people."

Refugees, two hidden sentries are set up outward, extending to fifty meters and one hundred meters respectively. In case of emergency, shooting is allowed. We have a team that will come here to meet us tonight. Pay attention to identification and avoid accidental injury.

Friendly troops!"

While the guards were setting up their defenses, Ning Zhe, Zhang Fang, and Hu Yihan also gathered in a room in the courtyard and chatted around the charcoal basin.

Hu Yihan threw a sweet potato into the charcoal basin, grilled it and said: "As we walked along, I found that the situation of the Jing clan was even more miserable than we imagined. They have begun to send people to work outside the fortress to explain the fortress.

The internal unemployment rate is already very high. In this situation of scarcity of resources, there are still great opportunities for cooperation between the two of us."

"Yes, the Xiahou clan has blocked them too hard. The Jing clan's current grain reserves should have fallen below the red line. Although the Jing clan chaebol has put on a desperate posture, the people may not be of the same mind as them. Right now

The New Year is approaching, but Jingclan people are starving and dying all over the place. This is not a good sign."

Ning Zhe paused and continued: "They are willing to give up the refugee group and send the fortress people to work outside the fortress. It must be to divert the internal employment pressure and food crisis. However, this is not a foolproof strategy. After all, the chaebols have never

No matter what kind of favorable living environment is provided to the refugees, the resources they can save by abandoning the refugee group are also very limited.

Judging from the current situation, if the internal pressure is not resolved as soon as possible, I am afraid that the Jing Clan will collapse from the inside without waiting for the day when the Xiahou family calls. We are here to help the Jing Clan.

It’s a life-saving straw.”

Zhang Fang interrupted: "Jing Clan and the Lu family are mortal enemies. Once we reach a deal, it will definitely be impossible to transport supplies from the Lu family's territory. Then the only channel left for the rebels is the rebels. We can use Jing Clan to provide the rebels with

Put pressure on them to ensure the stability of our transportation channels, so that the rebel crisis can be resolved."

"This alone is not enough. I am going to put forward an additional condition to Jing Clan, asking them to allow us to transfer the refugees in Jing Clan." Ning Zhe looked at the two people and said: "Now that Jing Clan has given up on the refugees under its rule, I

I want to set up a branch of the revolutionary army in Jingzhou to receive the refugees here and replenish them in Jinqinhuan!"
