The black panther understood immediately, and without politeness, he took the man away and threw him outside the general's mansion.
After it was done, it raised its head proudly and returned home. The man sat on the ground and later realized that he was not cold.
His hands and feet, which had been frozen to the point of being numb in the snow, started to react, and he stood up with his hands on his legs.
Every inch of your skin feels warm, not dry, and extremely comfortable.
"Are you new here?"
The man turned his head and saw a gentle girl.
He bowed his hands.
Yingcai smiled back: "Come with me, and I'll arrange a place for you to live first. If you have any requests, ask first, but it doesn't go too far."
"I'll let you serve." The man followed Yingcai onto the street, "May I ask the girl, is this a Pengcheng city?"
"Yes. It was originally a city of Sheng Kingdom, but it is now subordinate to our Yunhong Dynasty and is governed by Your Majesty." Yingcai turned down a street and found an uninhabited small courtyard and pushed the door in. "You can stay here temporarily.
Take a day off and arrange work for you tomorrow."
"Thank you, girl." Ren Ce saluted.
Yingcai smiled, turned and left.
Ren Ce entered the house and walked around.
There was a lot of dust in the house, and it must have been unoccupied for a while. He walked to the bedroom and dug out the bedding.
Fortunately, it was well cleaned and there was no musty smell. After a little exercise, his hands and feet began to feel hot, and he was extremely hungry. He found a piece of clean clothes in the house and changed into them.
Ren Ce left the door ajar and wanted to look for anything to eat. A tempting aroma came, making his stomach more and more hungry.
It was noon, and everyone was queuing up to buy food.
Ren Ce stood aside at a loss and found that what the people paid was not Shengguo coins.
Before setting off, he took some money with him.
Now it seems that I probably can’t spend it. Do I have to go hungry?
"Master Ren." Ying Cai happened to pass by.
Ren Ce nodded politely, a little shy about his situation.
"Look at me, I was busy and forgot. Come with me." As for whether he really forgot, who can know Yingcai's thoughts?
Yingcai took Ren Ce to the kitchen of the General's Mansion and got two dishes and one soup. She put them on the table and said, "Eat it. Your Majesty has already ordered that the people who enter the city on the first day will eat three meals a day for free. The next day.
Start working and make money to be self-reliant."
"Thank you." Ren Ce picked up the bowl and chopsticks.
Even if his cultivation does not allow him to gorge himself, his eating movements are much faster than before.
"You are a scholar, you should be literate." Yingcai poured two cups of tea, "The warehouse needs a registration steward, are you willing?"
"Of course I do." Ren Ce put down the bowl, thanked him and took the tea cup. He drank two sips of tea, feeling warm in his stomach.
He was not so hungry anymore and his eating speed returned to normal. Yingcai nodded: "Come find me tomorrow and I will take you there."
After saying that, she stood up and prepared to leave. Ren Ce stood up and greeted her politely: "I haven't asked her her name yet."
"Yingcai." Yingcai turned around and smiled.
She is still busy and must leave.
Ren Ce sat back and continued eating.
After eating all the food, he took the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen. The kitchen worker took them and said, "Just leave it there. Let's go when you're full."
Ren Ce nodded and left the General's Mansion. After eating and drinking, he walked around. After the lunch break, the people went to work one after another, and Ren Ce followed him to take a look.
He saw the construction of the city, the busy transportation, and the fruitful land.
People are busy working with smiles on their faces.
He raised his head and saw a layer of transparent protection covering the sky. Ren Ce stretched out his hand and felt the warm wind blowing from all directions.
Coming from purgatory, he can better understand the value of a stable life. Working at sunrise and resting at sunset is the expectation of countless people in Sheng Kingdom.
Living in troubled times, we know ourselves well.
Ren Ce sighed lightly, Sheng Kingdom was destined to perish.
That Your Majesty is a wise king.
The next day.
Ren Ce works as a steward in the warehouse.
His job is very simple, checking the quantity of grain entering and leaving the warehouse and registering it.
Submit before get off work every day, no errors or omissions allowed.
Several people work with him, some are responsible for moving goods and some are responsible for display.
Work eight hours a day, and wages are paid daily.
When he received his wages, Ren Ce knew that the currency could be exchanged. Even if it was not cost-effective, he would exchange it.
There is a price difference when exchanging copper coins, and gold and silver are exchanged for one. With money in his pocket, he first buys clothes, shoes and socks, etc.
I finally saw it. After walking in front of the gate of hell, I finally saw it with a rush of energy. I saw the satisfied smiles on the faces of the people, the hope and happiness in their eyes.
My father was right, the world was wrong. The emperor of Sheng Kingdom was wrong, and the people were in dire straits.
General's Mansion.
Zhu Qinghong lay on the black panther and talked to Su Rui and Fang Youan: "There are actually neighboring countries near Sheng Kingdom."
"There is only one neighboring country left, Wan Ning Kingdom." Su Rui clicked on the map of Wan Ning Kingdom. "After taking Jingcheng, Bai Shifeng led a team disguised as businessmen to go to Wan Ning Kingdom. Although Wan Ning Kingdom resisted this time,
Due to the attack by Zhu Shengguo, the domestic situation is not optimistic."
After taking three cities, they were not idle. While building the cities, they also looked out for news.
Zhu Qinghong contacted the Zhang family, learned a lot of information, and received many people who either came on their own or were instigated by the Zhang family. The Zhang family went smoothly.
Zhang Wenrong found the troops left by Sang Xu and secretly controlled several cities. With Zhu Qinghong's food support, those cities were safe for the time being.
Next year, the Zhang family will take big action. Take the city, fight against the cold, and save the people from water and fire.
Over there in Fang You'an, there are many wilderness and ruins.
The city was almost destroyed by Sheng Guo, so he could only take in the survivors.
Encounter monsters by chance and annihilate them all. It’s not all without benefits, at least I got some information. This place is surrounded by a wall of Tao-level monsters, and there is a national-level monster.
The area is very large, and there are still many countries in it. Sheng Kingdom only exists in the corner, not a top country.
Every six months, Dao-level demons form teams to patrol. Countries are attacked by demons, causing certain losses.
Detailed maps could not be obtained, and some were destroyed in the war. Fang Youan never gave up and would always find a map.
On Su Rui's side, after taking the city, Bai Shifeng led a team pretending to be merchants and entered Wan Ning Country.
The people of Wan Ning Country are simple and simple, and have no objection to outsiders. What's more, the output of Wan Ning Country's fields declines every year, and the people live a frugal life.
Under such circumstances, Bai Shifeng and others sold grain and became famous instantly. It spread from one city to another, and finally entered the palace.
Bai Shifeng and his party did not sell the grain all at once, but said that the grain they could get was limited and they could only sell as much grain as they wanted every day.
They also closed their doors every once in a while, telling the outside world that the food had not yet arrived. Many people stared at them, fearing they would run away.
In the courtyard.
Yan Mi sat on the steps under the eaves with his feet raised, gnawing on an apple: "This emperor is so calm. He hasn't seen us yet."
"The emperor is only nine years old, how can he keep his composure?" Yan Zhen leaned against a pillar and peeled an apple slowly. "The one who makes the decision is the regent. If we reduce the amount of food, he will come sooner or later. For the sake of the people,
He will jump even if he knows it is a trap."
"Who can refuse our country's food?" Bai Shifeng came over and said, "Be patient. They are more anxious than us."
"Isn't it said that the auspicious snow heralds a good harvest?" Yan Mi raised his neck and looked at Bai Shifeng, "How can your Majesty conclude that the grain output will continue to drop next year?"
Yan Zhen finished peeling the apple perfectly: "The quality of the soil. The soil is getting worse every year, and the crops are naturally getting worse every year."
I don’t understand.
Yan Mi took a bite of the apple. There is no need to understand, just complete the task assigned by His Majesty.
"It's stopped snowing today." Bai Shifeng thought about it and finally said, "Let's have hot pot for dinner. What dishes do you want to eat?"
Jumping up, Yan Mi gave a thumbs up: "Meat. Pork, chicken, duck will do. Add a lot of chili."
"..." Bai Shifeng and Yan Zhen were speechless.
Bai Shifeng can only eat a small amount of spicy food, while Yan Zhen and Yan Mi have completely different tastes.
He prefers all kinds of vegetables to meat, and the spicy ones are okay. Yan Zhen stepped forward and held Yan Mi's shoulders: "Today's vegetarian hot pot."
"Ah?" Yan Mi stared in disbelief.
He looked at Bai Shifeng and then at Yan Zhen, feeling that he had no love in his life.
"You won't get tired of eating meat every day." Bai Shifeng ordered, "Try green vegetables. It's good."
Yan Mi pursed her lips tightly and resisted silently.
No! He wants to eat meat! Eat meat every day! What’s so delicious about vegetables!
Bai Shifeng and Yan Zhenli ignored him, and the matter was decided happily. Jiang Yiyun and Jiang Yunxuan, who were waiting, covered their lips and snickered.
Two sisters were assigned to assist them in areas where men were not suitable.
Now all the ladies and virtuous women in the city are rushing to post invitations to the two of them, through which they can get a lot of information. This will help His Majesty's plan to be implemented faster.
Wan Ningguo, Imperial Palace.
The child in a dragon robe frowned and read the memorial, and wrote annotations after reading it.
He is none other than the current emperor, He Lianqi.
A handsome man walked in from the outside: "What kind of wrinkles does a small face look like?"
"Uncle Emperor." He Lianqi handed over the memorial, "The team selling grain has closed again. And the grain sold continues to decrease."
The regent, Helian Zheng, took over the memorial and scanned it: "It's expected. It won't be long before we don't meet again. They will say that they have sold out all the food and withdraw from our country. We know what they want to do.
.But there is no way.”
Being caught at a critical point, I had to compromise.
He Lianqi slapped the desk hard: "Send the order to meet them."
"We don't know where they came from and are too passive." He Lianzheng sighed slightly, "No one's food can be obtained out of thin air. If we want to buy the food from their hands, the other party will probably open their mouths. Gold, silver, weapons, or even cede land.
..."
He Lianqi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "If the city is lost, it can be regained. Without food, the people will starve to death."
In their current situation, they have no choice. Grain production decreases every year, and it is unlikely that it will suddenly increase next year.
With one drop after another, the grain harvest cannot feed the people across the country. They have found ways to negotiate with neighboring countries in the past few years to increase crop production.
We live together as neighbors and make progress together.
Unfortunately, Shengguo didn't think so, and after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, war continued to ignite.
The surrounding countries have been almost wiped out, and now only Wan Ning Country is left. The war has just ended, and although the victory is achieved, the dilemma still exists.
There is not enough food. In the new year, Shengguo may attack again. Emperor Shengguo is a madman who only knows how to fight and will not let them go.
Due to internal and external troubles, the country is in turmoil.
At this juncture, a group of merchants selling grain appeared. How could there be no problem?
So what if there is a problem? Wan Ningguo is at the end of its rope and will be destroyed sooner or later if we don’t take action.
Let go, let it go.
"Pass the message. Summon them to the palace for an audience." He Lianzheng put down the memorial and "let them make conditions."
