Chapter 585 585 Raising the bandits, Ji Yunkai is going crazy
Beichen is located in the far north. The climate is very harsh. In some places, there is ice and snow all year round. The cold winter can kill people. I don’t know how many people die from the cold in Beichen every year. Especially the newborn children. All children born in winter are rare.
, died in the winter one after another.
This is Beichen's pain, and it is also the reason why Beichen people fight desperately to capture Tianwu and Tianqi.
Compared with Beichen's harsh climate, Tianwu and Tianqi are simply paradises on earth. Especially Tianqi, which has the most fertile land and the most suitable climate, is the fat in the eyes of Beichen people.
However, no matter how brave and skillful Beichen's soldiers were, and no matter how unafraid of death, they could not withstand Tianqi's large number of people, let alone the country's insufficient financial resources. Beichen's civilian officials and military attachés would quarrel for several years every time they fought.
If they win, it's okay, at least they can live a good life for a few years; if they lose, they won't be able to live a good life for a few years.
Therefore, Beichen was really envious and jealous of Tianqi. Every time he thought about how to drive away Tianqi's people, occupy Tianqi's place, and live a good life.
However, this can only be a delusion. For hundreds of years, they have not broken through Apocalypse. Of course, Apocalypse cannot do anything to them, Beichen.
But Xu Ziqi knows that as time goes by, Beichen will become poorer and poorer, and its population will become smaller and smaller, while Tianqi will become richer and richer, and its population will increase. By then, Tianqi's troops will be strong, and they, the Beichen people, will have no way to survive.
.
For Beichen, although these black stones are not food, they are no worse than food. With these black stones, at least hundreds of thousands of people will be saved from freezing to death this winter, and a few fewer babies will die, which will reduce Beichen's population.
It won't be a drastic drop.
What's more, if there are enough black stones, they can use the temperature of the black stones to grow something in the mountains.
Poor people want to change. The climate in Beichen is harsh and it is impossible to grow too much food. However, the people of Beichen are smart. They try their best to cultivate in the cave, then light a fire inside to block the wind and snow, and grow things inside.
Although the harvest is not much, at least I can have a bite to eat.
When Xu Ziqi learned about the usefulness of these Black Rock Mountains, he almost cried. He immediately sent a message to General Wang Liu Yuan through a special channel, asking him to send troops to the Black Rock Mountains immediately. In any case, they would occupy the Black Rock Mountains first.
This Black Rock Mountain is really important to Beichen.
The edges of the black stones in Black Rock Mountain cannot be seen. With these black stones, not only in the past few years, but also in the next ten years or so, Beichen will not be afraid of the cold winter.
Of course, in addition to letters, Xu Ziqi also asked people to transport black stones to Beichen one by one.
He was very aware of the officials in the court who could only talk but not take action. If they were not allowed to see the actual benefits, they would not only not take action but would also block it.
As for whether those people will take the credit?
Xu Ziqi was not worried at all. Their general was not a vegetarian. No one in the world dared to take the credit of their general.
Sure enough, less than five days after Xu Ziqi's letter was sent, Liu Yuan's letter came. In the letter, Liu Yuan told Xu Ziqi that he should act cheaply and save Blackstone Mountain at any cost. Liu Yuan would bear all the consequences.
With Liu Yuan's letter, Xu Ziqi was no longer worried. Not only did he let his soldiers take action, he also transferred Beichen's soldiers stationed at Black Rock Mountain and asked them to dig up black stones and black mud.
As for their disobedience?
Xu Ziqi is not worried at all. His soldiers are specialized in fighting all kinds of disobedience. If anyone refuses to obey, his soldiers will fight until the opponent submits.
Ji Yunkai looked at Beichen's soldiers, enthusiastically picking up stones and digging out black mud. He couldn't bear to look at them.
She didn't know much about Beichen. She really didn't know that Beichen was so short of things to make fire. If she had known it, if she had known it...
If she had known it, she would have told Xu Ziqi sooner or later that these black stones can burn and that black mud can support combustion. After all, how could Beichen's people not see anything after all their hard work?
But she didn't expect that the Beichen people would pay so much attention to these black stones, and she couldn't help but secretly feel happy that she didn't tell them that there was more flammable oil underneath, otherwise this place would be untouchable by others.
"Girl, do you think we dug it like this? Although this is not the edge of Black Rock Mountain, it is still a hundred miles away from the exit." Seeing Ji Yun driving over, Xu Ziqi hurriedly stepped forward.
Now, Xu Ziqi really worships Ji Yunkai as a god. Who knew that these broken stones in the Black Rock Mountain, mixed with the black mud in the ground, could actually be burned. It’s not like no one has picked them up and tried them before, but it’s really not possible.
Burned.
"Very good." Ji Yunkai still admired Xu Ziqi. After joining "Baoshan", he could still think about the future calmly. This person is indeed not simple.
"We can rest assured if we have a girl. She is our great benefactor in Beichen. You don't know, girl, that your discovery is like a blessing to us Beichen people." Xu Ziqi is not an emotional person, but he said
Seeing Beichen's hardships, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"In Beichen, not to mention ordinary people, even soldiers in the army freeze to death in large numbers every year. Seven years ago, I led troops to Tianwu. There were five thousand people in a whole battalion. They were fine at night and woke up in the morning.
They were all frozen to death. The corpses were stiff, and if you knocked lightly, the ice cubes would fall off along with the bones, without even a drop of blood falling."
"At this time, it is winter in Beichen. With these black stones, not only everyone can survive, but at least a few people will die less." At least, his soldiers will not freeze to death anymore.
Xu Ziqi didn't say this, but everyone understood it.
"General Xu, you're welcome." Seeing Xu Ziqi's excited face and directly referring to her as his benefactor, Ji Yunkai couldn't help but smile, and his face twitched slightly as a response.
She is a person from Tianqi, but she is also the concubine of King Yanbei, whom Beichen hates the most. She actually became Beichen's great benefactor. This is simply a joke.
She really didn't dare to think about it. If the Tianqi people knew what she had done, would they execute her Ling Chi?
From Apocalypse's point of view, if Beichen loses one person, Apocalypse becomes more of a threat. As a member of Apocalypse, does this count as treason for her?
Ji Yunkai really wanted to cry, especially after she told Xiao Jiu'an and Xiao Jiu'an said that she had done a good job, she wanted to cry even more.
What Xiao Jiuan said was ironic, right?
Or was Xiao Jiuan praising her for not being stupid enough to leak the black oil incident?
She didn't know Beichen's situation, and Xiao Jiu'an must have known it. Xiao Jiu'an didn't remind her in advance that she couldn't expose the black stone. It must have been intentional, right?
What does Xiao Jiuan want?
Is it possible that he is raising bandits?
After all, the existence of the Yanbei Army is to resist Nanjiang and Beichen. Nanjiang has been getting worse every year in recent years, and the situation in Beichen is not optimistic either.
If this continues, Beichen and Nanjiang, the two strong enemies of Tianqi, will most likely no longer be Tianqi's opponents. By then, the Yanbei army that exists specifically for Beichen and Nanjiang will be useless.
But if it is no longer useful, will the emperor still tolerate Xiao Jiu'an as he is now and not dare to kill Xiao Jiu'an?
The answer is definitely no.
If Xiao Jiuan doesn't want to fight among himself and overthrow the emperor and take the throne, it is reasonable to raise bandits... (To be continued)
