"I have at most one year." Lu Cheng added: "Otherwise, I will definitely die if the underworld collects debts."
I got a new car with a loan, and the ride is cool, but the money I owe has to be paid back.
What's more, this thing is a "RV".
"One year?"
When Jia Xu heard this, he immediately frowned and thought.
"My lord, the battle between Yuan and Cao is not over yet, and we don't know who will win. However, if Yuan Shao is defeated, the farmers in Yizhou will be prosperous and their fields will be vast. Instead of falling into Cao Cao's hands, it is better for us to take them. I suggest driving Kun to swallow them up!"
Xu Jin said.
"Huh?" Lu Cheng thought for a moment.
Rather than giving it to Cao Cao, it is really better to take it for yourself. If Kun swallows up thousands of miles of fertile fields and obtains the attributes and skills of "fertile land", then the spiritual fields of Thousand Machines City will skyrocket!
"Sir, what do you think we should do?" Lu Cheng asked.
"We are at war in the Central Plains. The carriages and horses are exhausted and the traffic is not smooth. My lord has some flying skills. Can you send me to Jizhou? I am sure I can convince them?"
.........
Of course, Ah Yu still had to sleep for a few days, and it was inconvenient to fly around at such a big size. He left the work of checking the shock absorption to Master Lu, and Lu Cheng, Ah Qing and Jia Xu rushed to Jizhou.
Lu Cheng is also quite familiar with the road.
The war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao has entered its fifth year. The harm caused by successive years of war to the people has been fully demonstrated. The high taxes have made everyone overwhelmed.
When I came here five years ago, the fields were prosperous, but now, the people's livelihood is in decline.
Lu Cheng couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
The mansion of old acquaintance Tian Feng has been sealed.
Others don’t know them either...
In this era, there is no one to build relationships with, so how easy is it to meet the Yizhou clan?
Lu Cheng and his group were wandering back and forth in front of the mansion when suddenly.
"It is indeed General Lu, please take a step to speak..." An old voice sounded from behind.
Lu Cheng glanced back.
He was an old man, who seemed to have been a steward of Tian Feng's house back then. The reason why he remembered it so deeply was because he was the one who tested the machine armor.
Lu Cheng did not hesitate, took Aqing Jia Xu, and followed the old man into another courtyard.
.........
"Before the war, the head of the family was thrown into prison by Duke Yuan for speaking out. After Guandu, Gong Yuan regretted not listening to what the head of the family said, but when he heard that the head of the house was laughing at his new defeat in prison, he ordered the head of the house to be beheaded...
Hey." The old man said slowly: "General Lu, please come inside."
"Uh, old man, who are you?" Lu Cheng asked.
The old butler remained silent and slowly took out a token. Suddenly the star power on it shone brightly, and Lu Cheng suddenly felt something about it.
Lu Chengcai suddenly realized.
"General Lu, don't get me wrong. I'm actually not qualified. It's just that the head of the family can only see me before he dies..."
.......
The courtyard was not big, so the old housekeeper closed the door. Lu Cheng was surprised to find that there were actually several scholars and scholars in the courtyard.
"General Lu, thanks to you, with the blessing of Mohist skills, the family master's private soldiers, the machine halberd cavalry, can be used as tiger cavalry. However, after the family master died, Yuan Gong was afraid that the machine halberd soldiers would rebel, so he dismissed them."
Lu Cheng and Jia Xu looked at each other.
This Yuan Shao...is so old that he is in a coma.
He was famous when he was young, but he turned out to be such a loser when he got older. No wonder he can play Tianhu cards badly.
And the butler in front of me said this...
"Old sir, we are here this time because we want to meet the farmers and officials in Jizhou... I wonder if I can make some recommendations." Lu Cheng didn't answer any more and went straight to the topic.
"General Lu, the head of the family, Tian Feng, is dead... I am not talented... He is the head of the farm family."
In fact, the old housekeeper did not tell the whole truth.
He was able to follow Tian Feng for many years, and Tian Feng was finally able to hand over the Baijialing to him without Qixing having any objections, which shows that he has two skills.
When Lu Cheng and Ah Qing entered Jizhou with their swords, the farmer's psychic plant had already sensed the envoys of the Baijia Order.
The old housekeeper was specially waiting for Lu Cheng and his party at the entrance of Tian Feng Mansion.
He knew that the Mo family must have come here with a purpose. The battle on the front line... was retreating steadily. Soon Gong Yuan would be defeated, and they, a group of farmers, would be unable to recover.
Even if Lu Cheng doesn't come, he will take the initiative to find the leaders of other families in the near future to see if he can change anything to solve the predicament.
"Oh?" Lu Cheng's face looked happy. It really took no effort to get through the iron shoes and find no place. "I've met Mr."
Jia Xu behind him also bowed and stepped forward.
"Sir, my lord and I are here to discuss an important matter with you."
"It's okay to say it," the old man said.
"Lord, according to historical records, during the Han-Hungarian War, the undead invaded and massacred Youzhou, and the population was completely wiped out. Sir, do you know why?" Jia Xu thought for a while and said.
When the old man heard this, his expression changed.
He knew it, he heard that there was an enemy who had a territory at that time, and it maintained a lot of nourishment by killing millions of people in Youzhou.
However, the history books are not clear about this matter, because Lu Cheng, who knew about it at the time, "died", and the Mobei Army suffered heavy losses in the Liangzhou interception battle. Hua Xiong, led by Huo Qubing, entered the soldiers and horses mausoleum to sleep.
"I know...the sacrificed people have supported a realm."
"Yes, I studied the history books and thought so. The Huns killed Youzhou for money, food or supplies." Jia Xu said after hearing this.
"Does Mr. Cao Cao know that a few years ago, Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu, defeated the Yellow Turbans, and gathered the Yanzhou nobles and hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou young men?" Jia Xu asked again.
"We also know that from that time on, Cao Cao jumped over the dragon gate and soared into the sky, and then he had the strength to compete with Yuan Gong!" the old man replied, but he didn't know what the connection was between the two.
"Old sir, you are a farmer. Let me ask you, can hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou troops be supported on one land?..." Jia Xu seemed to have something in his words.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's difficult..." the old man thought, and suddenly, he seemed to understand something.
After this, Cao Cao plundered Xuzhou, reminiscent of the incident in Youzhou above.
Could it be that?
"This Cao thief robbed Xuzhou, firstly to avenge his father, and secondly because he lacked money and food to support the Qingzhou army?" the old man asked doubtfully.
Lu Cheng thought thoughtfully on the side. For a tycoon like Cao Cao, the motivations for doing something may be really complex. It may be out of anger, it may be hindered by filial piety, and of course it may be for profit.
"If Xuzhou cultivates rice grains and Cao Cao cultivates spears, then Xuzhou is Cao Cao's granary. This may make sense, right?" Jia Xu asked.
The old man thought about it, and he knew about this. When Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian, Duke Yuan also sent troops to help, made great achievements in battle, and gained a lot of benefits.
This may also be the reason why Chen Lin didn’t write this down when she scolded Cao Cao.
The Yizhou gentry knew this matter well.
"It makes sense." The old man nodded: "But, what do you want to say?"
"The emperor wants to return to the Eastern Capital, but he has stayed in Xuchang for five years. Hulao Pass is guarded by my general. I can tell you, sir, that Luoyang is still a scorched earth. Why do you think it is?" Jia Xu glanced around and just said
Said quietly.
The old man was just about to say, "I don't know."
Suddenly...he seemed to have thought of something.
"Cao Cao is short of money again? He might plunder Yizhou after the victory?!
"
Luoyang is really still a scorched earth...
After years of fighting, Duke Yuan has been defeated, Yizhou is severely taxed, and the Cao thieves are probably really short of money.
According to this statement, once Mr. Yuan is defeated, it is really possible for Cao Cao to do the same thing as before. After all, Cao Ah Ma has done it before!
The head of the family, Tian Feng, has been beheaded by Mr. Yuan. The peasants in Jizhou are in danger. Mr. Yuan is a tiger, and there is a hungry wolf like Cao Cao watching outside.
It was just a matter of paying it back when Yuan Shao was in his prime.
Now that the defeat has been revealed, the Jizhou nobles have reason to believe that Yuan Shao cannot defeat Cao Cao. What if Cao Cao is short of money and food and the incident in Xuzhou happens again?
"No, no, no, sir, you are worrying too much." Jia Xu said with a smile: "Cao Cao has no father's revenge to avenge this time, so he probably won't massacre Yizhou."
"That......."
"But everyone knows Cao Cao's policy, which is to suppress noble clans and families, and annex land. When the time comes, farmers..." Jia Xu deliberately only said half of the words.
The old man let out a sigh of relief.
"Actually, we all know this."
The peasant family has already believed that Duke Yuan will be defeated, and Cao Cao's policies will inevitably divide, suppress the peasant family, and annex the farmland of the peasant family, but...
What else can be done?
A group of farmers farmed, but their bets were wrong again, and now they have fish and meat.
Lu Cheng understood from the sidelines... It's time for him to appear!
"I have a very good personal relationship with Mr. Tian Feng, so I have an idea."
"General Lu, please speak."
"The crisis for farmers is nothing more than the crime of holding fertile land and possessing treasures. In my opinion, farmers' land cannot be saved. If the war becomes tense, Yuan Gong will inevitably increase the expropriation, and farmers will have nothing. If Cao Cao wins, it will be even worse.
It's terrible." Lu Cheng continued: "But if farmers lose their fertile land, at least most of it, then there is nothing to worry about."
The old man smiled and said: "General Lu is good at joking. Now that we have lost our industry, we also have nothing."
"What my general means is that you can let me wait. As for the deal, we can talk about it later," Jia Xu said from the side.
"You... you are in Hulao Pass, Luoyang... you are thousands of miles away from here?" The old man was a little surprised. Why are the Mo family trading fertile land?
Did they use it?
However...it would be great to find someone to take over at such a critical moment. Wouldn't it be nice to replace the untouchable farmland with some life-saving gadgets?
What's more, the Mohist order in front of me has already completed a transaction with the head of the Tianfeng family, so it's trustworthy.
"I don't need to worry about it, old man. I'll do it myself. Next, let's talk about the terms, shall we?"
"To be honest, we just want to save our lives. To be honest, money will do." The old housekeeper said, a group of farmers, now that the big tree is about to fall, let's take the money and leave first...
"Old sir." Jia Xu suddenly stepped forward and said mysteriously: "In these troubled times, money is really not as good as a paradise. To tell you the truth, we know of a place with the protection of ancient spiritual beings. I will general
If you find spiritual soil, it’s a farmer’s house..."
"Ancient spiritual object?" Before Jia Xu finished speaking, the old housekeeper asked.
"That's right, my general has found an ancient demon who is free in the world, his name is..." Jia Xu touched Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng was stunned...
A carefree world? Ancient demons and immortals?
Are you talking about... Da Han Biao?
"Ah... Great Immortal Kunli!
"Lu Cheng suddenly choked out a name: "Yes, yes, Kunli Great Immortal, his true form is the giant Kun in Beiming. I don't know how many thousands of miles away, there is a city named Qianji..."
........
........
Lu Cheng spent three days consuming two high-star spiritual energy cards and invited a group of representatives to [Luoyang-Longmen].
This group of people saw the scorched earth, and of course... also saw Thousand Machines City!
The old housekeeper and the farmer were dumbfounded when they saw the "real thing".
Lu Cheng sighed on the side.
My own mount...
Don't tell me yet.
Call it stupid, but it is a bit stupid. It only eats, barks, and sleeps every day. If it really fights, it has no use other than meat. If you let it fight on its own, it will probably be killed by Ah Qing with a single card, which is even more impossible.
Escaped from being hunted by Huo Qubing/Hua Xiong Legion.
After all, he is still a young Kun with insufficient body shape.
But...
It's big!
What a blast!
What a bluff!
It’s several kilometers long!
This time the farmers were confused.
"Great Immortal Kunli!
There really is Thousand Machine City behind it...!
"
You gain Farm Reputation 10!
"This is the fairyland~!" a peasant girl said excitedly.
You gain Farm Reputation 10!
........
Jia Xu was enjoying the cool under the ground needle pine: "Send someone to record it and tell the historian later that a certain general Lu Cheng and a counselor surnamed Jia, who did not want to be named, led hundreds of farmers to Huaxia Qianji City during the Eastern Han Dynasty to fight with the Mohist family and Gongshu
The Yin-Yang family, the Taoist family, the Gui family, etc. merged and officially opened the farming era."
........
Canghai sect, Jieyintai.
Su Yuzhou is happy today.
Got a new car.
The Taoist couple recently became a Taoist god. After gathering some materials, Su Yuzhou drew a mood painting by himself. This magic weapon can be rolled up and used as a mount, and the unfolded mountain and river map can also be used as a cave!
What is this called?
"RV"!
In the world of cultivation, who doesn’t have a mount yet? There is a riding magic weapon even if you don’t have one.
But there are not many 2-in-1 ones!
The elder in the transformation stage on the hilltop next door rides a gourd every day, puts himself in the world inside the gourd, and shows off every day.
I am simply outstanding at this.
He made a few special additions today.
Because I heard that Junior Brother Lu Cheng is coming back.
Then you are not allowed to show off your new mount in front of your junior brother?
