As the disaster continued, Li Mu issued orders one after another, and the grain stores that had been closed opened one after another.
At the same time, the railway construction plan was issued and the construction of the railway began.
At this moment, in a valley, grain is piled up like a hill, so densely packed that it makes people daydream about it.
The food that once disappeared from the treasury appears here.
"The locust plague broke out..."
In the valley, Venerable Kongmin said, looking at the locusts flying around like flies above his head, he said lightly.
"Wu Shuanghou, he is very powerful... He found the food shortage before taking action and discovered the shortcomings half a year in advance. If it had been delayed another half a year, there might not be any food left in the granary, but now there is still more than half of the food in the granary, which is enough."
Support the current crisis!"
"Besides, there are also grains in the granaries of various aristocratic families. If you are in an emergency, you can also ask these families!"
"There are also fried locusts, etc..."
A hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of Venerable Kong Min, "If we continue, we will really let Li Mu overcome the difficulties!"
"No, next, Li Mu will realize that the road ahead is not heading towards the gate of heaven, but step by step towards hell!" Venerable Baiyun said with a smile: "Next, the food will be burned, and the people will starve to death.
There will be a wave of refugees soon!"
"When do you think the first wave of refugees will appear?"
Venerable Chixiao said: "It may be ten days later, or it may be a month later!"
"As long as a wave of refugees appears, it will burn like wildfire. It will burn bigger and bigger, sweeping the world and becoming the vanguard of weakening Youzhou's power. Then, the cavalry of the Yuantu Kingdom will invade and sweep in. Even if they cannot break through the Killing Tiger's Pass, they will
It will cause serious damage to Youzhou’s vitality!”
"At that time, coupled with various civil strife, the Great Zhou Dynasty was exhausted, and the sky signaled that a new dynasty would usher in... This is destiny, and no one can change it."
Venerable Li Chen smiled and said, "Li Mu is nothing more than a mantis using his arms as a chariot!"
Tweet!
At this time, a goshawk descended from the sky, and a bamboo tube was tied to the goshawk's leg.
Venerable Li Chen opened the bamboo tube, and there was a letter inside. As he read the letter, his expression kept changing, and finally he said: "No, something big is going to happen! Li Mu is going to build a railway!"
"What is a railroad?"
Venerable Kongmin said.
"Look, this is the railway, this is the train!" In the letter, the train was described in detail, as well as the conditions of the railway.
Everyone's expressions couldn't help but change greatly.
The train is very slow and not as fast as an innate warrior. It can be said to be useless, but it is indeed of great benefit to the country.
Food can be transported across the country and distributed rationally. As long as it is not a nationwide famine, famine will never have an impact.
Railways can be used to quickly mobilize troops. The bigger the country, the greater the benefits.
The train is not as fast as the innate warrior, but the endurance of the innate warrior is not as good as the train.
A train can keep moving as long as it burns coal;
However, if an innate warrior keeps running for three hours, he needs to rest for a while, otherwise his body will not be able to support it.
"It seems we are in big trouble... If the railway and trains are built, will there be a way for us to survive?" Venerable Kongmin said worriedly. All the plans were very good, but with the construction of the train, it became unsatisfactory.
"Can we stop it?" Venerable Baiyun said.
"It's difficult to stop it!" Venerable Li Chen said, "Is it difficult to build a railway? It's not difficult at all! It only requires a construction team of a thousand innate warriors, and it can build a hundred miles in ten days. If we follow Li Mu's instructions, it will be divided into sections
Construction will become faster."
"The three-thousand-mile railway will take fifteen days if it is slower, but ten days if it is faster. When dealing with other things, it will only take one month to open to traffic! The speed is too fast!"
"Of course, innate warriors can only respond in a short time. Building the railway requires ordinary people to take the lead. It may take a little longer, but the benefits to the people and the emperor are too obvious!"
Are there any difficulties in realizing Li Mu’s plan of three horizontal and five vertical lines?
Is it really not difficult?
If you go faster, it will only take three years; if you go slower, ten years will be enough.
"Is there any way to destroy the railway construction?" Venerable Baiyun asked.
"cannot!"
Venerable Li Chen said: "This time, various merchants are responsible for building the railway. As for the warriors under Li Mu, they are mainly responsible for supervision and acceptance. It is obvious that they are guarding against something. Even if it is destroyed once or twice, it cannot be destroyed all the time.
Once we are caught, our Immortality Sect will really stink!"
There are some things that the Immortality Cult can do, such as opposing the emperor or rebelling.
But there are some things that cannot be done, such as killing people on a large scale, killing some officials, and doing some evil things.
The benefits of building railways are great. Everyone can see that once the Immortality Sect really sends people to destroy the railway construction, its reputation will be really bad.
Many bad things can be done behind the scenes, but cannot be done on the table.
"Then what should we do? Just watch Li Mu continue to do it... We can't do anything!" Venerable Li Chen said.
"If the situation is going to change, not just a railway can stop it!" Venerable Kong Min laughed, "What Li Mu did was just a mantis trying to use his arm as a train!"
…………
In a messy field, the people roared in bitterness and hatred, chasing the locusts with their pockets raised.
The locusts have gnawed away all the green they could see, and the entire Chuzhou was desolate.
Locusts chase green creatures. Wherever they go, there is no grass growing, and then they set off again to another place.
The locust plague has been present for three days, and there has been no large-scale refugee wave.
At the beginning, we were quite motivated to eliminate the locusts, but seeing the endless locusts that seemed to be endless, the people became a little slack.
Later, martial arts people joined in and the number of locusts eliminated increased.
The innate warrior used his sword skills to wipe out all the locusts within ten meters wherever he went.
Grandmasters, Grandmasters, etc. can eliminate locusts faster.
The extermination of locusts continues.
Countless locusts were killed, but countless locusts were born again.
The number of locusts is much smaller, and some have flown to other areas.
Li Mu estimated that the grain harvest was a foregone conclusion, and he could only maintain the three levels of previous years.
Many people have to rely on relief food to survive.
From August this year to August next year, this year will be another difficult year.
Winter is the hardest time, so we need to save some seeds, etc. If the granary grain is used as a relief, the situation can be maintained, but it means that the granary grain will continue to consume as many as three layers, leaving less than one layer.
There is food at home and there is no panic in the heart.
Always leave some grain behind.
The only good news is that the railway construction speed is faster than expected.
It only takes ten days to complete the construction of the 3,000-mile railway. There are only less than ten parking stations along the way, which are mainly for adding coal and water. The transportation is mainly freight, and there is no passenger transportation.
"The first wave has passed. Let's see if the three border kings can intercept the grassland locusts from crossing the border!"
Li Mu thought in his heart.
"No! The granary is on fire!" At this time, Hua Wuying came and delivered bad news.
