Chapter 1,289 The decline of this world is long overdue
Chu Qianqiu has always done things vigorously and resolutely. Since he is going to fill the mustard ring with rice and provide the people of the world with the truth, he will naturally give the highest priority to the matter.
The last time he defeated the Holy Land of Martial Arts and re-divided the world order, it did not attract Dao Dao, which shows that Dao Dao is aware of the same level.
For example, if Chu Qianqiu defeated the Holy Land of Martial Arts and could obtain the Taoist Seal, then if he defeated the Holy Land of Martial Arts again while he had the Taoist Seal, the future avenue that he had originally prepared for him would not come down again.
Chu Qianqiu cannot deceive the entire Dao by defeating the Holy Land of Martial Arts without limit.
Then he would have to start by changing the times.
What can change the times more than sufficient supplies?
Even if it's cheating.
Any great ideal is based on material foundation.
In primitive society, human organizations could only be maintained in the form of tribes because the surplus output of society was not enough to support a more complex system.
With endless food, Chu Qianqiu dared to implement more radical reforms and promote the development of the times.
Lingzhou, Chu family warehouse
"who?"
"Prepare the divine machine crossbow!"
"Prepare to report to headquarters."
When the guards at the Chu family warehouse saw someone falling from the sky, they immediately entered a state of combat readiness. They were the guards responsible for guarding the supplies. Although they only had Qi accumulation skills, Chu Qianqiu did not hide his aura, allowing them to discover it directly.
"I."
Chu Qianqiu chuckled and took out the token to prove it.
"See the head of the family, see the prince!"
The people in charge of the Chu family's warehouse usually accept Huang Xiaoxiao's jurisdiction, but they often browse Chu Qianqiu's portraits. When they see Chu Qianqiu, and the iconic flight of this martial arts master, it is very difficult to impersonate him.
.
"No need to be polite."
"I am here to pick up rice. How much rice is there in the warehouse?"
"If you go home, there are 100,000 shi of rice here, specially for the pioneering of Lingzhou and other places."
The person in charge of the warehouse said quickly.
Chu Qianqiu's stall was so large that it not only covered all the wasteland in Lingzhou, but also carried out similar activities in Yuzhou, Haizhou and other places.
In a sense, these operations are charity. If food prices did not rise sharply, the return period of these investments would be as long as more than 40 years.
The cost will only be recovered in about forty years, making it a very long-term investment.
In order to implement the pioneering plan, Xiaoxiao purchased warehouses in various nodes and established a logistics system to supply grain and grass to various places.
"Pay half of the rice to me."
"This is the warrant signed by Xiao Xiao, please do it right."
Chu Qianqiu took out the warrant and asked the warehouse administrator to verify it and complete the procedure to prevent someone from pretending to be Chu Qianqiu and come to defraud the supplies.
"Yes, Master."
"Young man, please order people to prepare food and fodder."
The warehouse manager looked a little excited. If he could be remembered by Chu Qianqiu, he would be very successful.
"No."
"I can pay it alone."
Chu Qianqiu shook his head and ordered the administrator to lead the way.
"Master, do you want new rice or old rice?"
"New rice."
"Okay, the new rice will be placed in the warehouse over here."
"How does the head of the family plan to take him away?"
Just as the administrator was about to say something, he saw something he would never forget.
Chu Qianqiu mobilized his huge magic power and directly sucked all the rice specified by the administrator into the mustard seed ring.
Compared with Chu Qianqiu's early years, which took half an hour to install something, the current mustard ring is indeed much easier to use.
Next!
The Chu family purchased and built more than ten large warehouses. Chu Qianqiu went directly this time and took away half of the rice. He harvested 30,000 tons of rice in the mustard ring before going to Beijing to meet Her Majesty the Queen.

Yongzhou, Shangjing, Imperial Palace
"Husband, are you here?"
"Didn't you stay at the Marshal's Mansion yesterday and thank guests behind closed doors?"
"Why did you come to the palace quietly? Now that your husband is entering the palace, you don't have to hide it from others. You can just come in directly."
"Does anyone dare to gossip?"
"Is it because Princess Wushuang is more beautiful than me and makes my husband want to leave?"
Her Majesty the Queen of the Shenwu Dynasty, Xiao Qinghe, said with some surprise and dissatisfaction.
About ten days ago, my husband returned to Zhongzhou from Whirlpool Island, killed the Dragon Emperor, and then went to Daxia to help Princess Wushuang ascend the throne as emperor. He even left a clone to pretend that he was still in Beijing, attracting
Everyone's attention.
Originally, after Empress Wushuang ascended the throne, Xiao Qinghe was happy but also a little uneasy, fearing that her husband would be too comfortable in Daxia and forget to go home.
"No way."
"My husband loves my wife the most."
Chu Qianqiu hugged Her Majesty the Queen and said with a smile.
"Husband, you are lying again."
"However, I like to hear my husband say a few more words."
Xiao Qinghe was already familiar with Chu Qianqiu's embrace, and the dissatisfaction in his heart immediately disappeared as if he was hugged by him.
"How can my husband lie?"
"My husband never lies."
"Look, our baby is about to be born."
Chu Qianqiu said with a smile.
In Chu Qianqiu's previous life, there was a saying called pregnancy in ten months, but this world is slightly different. The period from conception to birth is exactly 12 months, which is two months longer than the child in the previous life.
I don’t know if it is used to evolve the meridians, Dantian, etc.
After all, these things cannot be found in previous lives.
"Humph, my husband just likes to tease people."
Her Majesty the Queen showed her motherly glory and then continued to ask:
"My husband must have something important to do when he comes back. I will definitely help him take care of it."
"No way, I just came back to visit my wife."
"to be honest."
"I need some food for my husband and prepare a surprise for my wife."
Chu Qianqiu smiled and said.
"Is it the food stored in the warehouse?"
Her Majesty the Queen suddenly hesitated, then nodded.
"If it's less than two million dan, your husband can take it directly." (Note: 120,000 tons)
"so little?"
Chu Qianqiu was a little surprised. The Chu family's food reserves were one million dan, but the warehouse in Beijing only had 2 million dan.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Why does your husband need so much food?"
Xiao Qinghe was also surprised. Is two million stones too little?
"There are currently 8 million shi of grain stored in Shangjing's warehouse, which can supply the entire people of Shangjing. It can still cope with it. We are waiting for the autumn harvest to be completed and the autumn grain to be brought to Beijing."
Xiao Qinghe presided over the affairs of the court. In almost a year, he basically controlled the situation and had a good understanding of the court's finances and food.
“It’s just a severe drought in Yongzhou this year.”
"Although my husband has spread the secret technique of rainfall, and the imperial court has sent martial arts masters to assist with rainfall, this year's autumn harvest will be severely reduced."
"So the food in the warehouse has to be used sparingly and cannot be used casually by the husband."
Chu Qianqiu suddenly remembered that when he first came to Beijing, he heard from the Queen Mother that Si Tianjian looked at the sky and predicted that there would be a severe drought in Yongzhou for three years.
Only then did Yi Taoist people cut off the water veins of Fengzhou to protect Shangjing, which caused Fengzhou to starve to death for thousands of miles.
Later, Chu Qianqiu killed the Yi Dao people, and the water veins in Fengzhou recovered somewhat, but Yongzhou began to suffer from drought. (Note: Chapter 499)
Under such a situation, the drought in Yongzhou caused serious damage to Her Majesty the Queen's reputation, and also made Xiao Qinghe a little worried.
Rumors began to spread among the people that Her Majesty the Queen was in the wrong position, so there was a severe drought.
Although Six Doors worked hard and sent all these weird guys to the black prison for repairs.
However, people's panic about the drought has begun to appear.
Therefore, Xiao Qinghe had to mobilize food from other places to Beijing to prepare for emergencies.
Once a large-scale famine occurs in Yongzhou, even if the careerists are frightened by Chu Qianqiu and dare not rebel, the people will rise up.
"There is also the Si Tianjian observing the astronomical phenomena. There may be severe floods next year, followed by three years of drought."
"The area of this drought will continue to expand, extending to Yuzhou, Jiangzhou and other places."
Xiao Qinghe originally wanted to handle this matter himself, but when Chu Qianqiu asked, he told the truth.
This gave Chu Qianqiu a clearer understanding of the declining world.
In the long years to come, the environment of the World Island will become very bad, and food production will decrease and failure will become a common phenomenon.
Even large sects will be seriously affected and even start fighting with each other.
The recession is here, and it will become more severe in the coming years.
It's just that Chu Qianqiu moved too fast, finishing everything in just one year, so he didn't realize that this declining world was actually just the beginning.
"Last year, Taicang spent a lot of food to relieve Fengzhou. In addition, this year's autumn harvest has not yet arrived in Beijing, so it has hit rock bottom, with only about 8 million shi left."
Xiao Qinghe said with some embarrassment.
"Don't worry, madam, eight million stones is enough."
"This disaster is long overdue. I have a way to deal with it."
