At the end of yesterday's rally, a large number of people who were pretending to be ill came to Xuanyuan Chongwu, claiming that their condition was fine and asking him not to send letters to their disciples.
As a result, Xuanyuan Chongwu pretended not to understand, claiming that patients should not force themselves and insisted on reporting the news to their master.
Unless the sick Jianghu warriors can prove through actions that they are not sick in the next two days, otherwise... they can only ask their masters to send people to pick them up.
How to prove that he is not sick? Xuanyuan Chongwu did not say it directly, but he claimed that he would follow Xuanyuan Fengxue around the fields and supervise everyone's farm work. A healthy and healthy person will definitely work hard and can be understood at a glance.
As a result, those who had pretended to be sick a few days ago to slow down work rolled up their sleeves early the next morning and did the work of three people.
Seeing the children who were slacking off and working hard one by one, Qin Shou and others couldn't help but persuade Zhou Xingyun to reward those who worked hard, at least... let them have a good meal.
To be honest, Zhou Xingyun treated everyone equally and asked Jin Runer to cut corners in cooking, which really made Qin Shou and others very uncomfortable. They were not lazy, but they had to suffer the consequences and eat simple meals. This is unjustifiable...
In recent days, Qin Shou and others were used to eating delicious food, but now they suddenly had plain food, which really made them feel uncomfortable.
After Zhou Xingyun heard what Qin Shou and others said, he immediately called Jin Run'er to the barracks.
At first, everyone thought that Zhou Xingyun had changed his mind and wanted to reward his colleagues who worked hard. However, everyone soon discovered that they had guessed wrong. Not only did Zhou Xingyun not reward those who worked hard, he even asked Jin Run'er to provide meals starting from tomorrow.
Reduce the portion size by another 20%.
At this time, not to mention Qin Shou, even Jin Run'er was confused. If the food was reduced by another 20%, wouldn't it mean that the people of the Wulin Alliance would starve?
Facing the puzzled expressions of Jin Run'er and others, Zhou Xingyun smiled evilly. If it were before, everyone would definitely be hungry. Now that people from the Jianghu Association are here, the situation is different.
A while ago, young warriors from the Jianghu Association have been constantly making friends with young warriors from the Martial Arts Alliance, using honey traps and beauty traps to try to win over young warriors from various factions.
Nowadays, there are many young warriors in the Wulin Alliance and they have good relations with them.
Zhou Xingyun wants the people in the Jianghu Association to understand that having a good relationship with the people in the Wulin Alliance will lead to big losses. Since you have such a good relationship and your brothers are starving, you can't just sit back and watch as your friends.
Since the Jianghu Association cannot be driven out by force, then... let's fight a food consumption war!
Zhou Xingyun's sudden reduction in food had another purpose, which was to take the opportunity to consume the Jianghu Association's food reserves.
Qiu Zhiping brought the young warriors from the Jianghu Association to his territory for sightseeing. How much food did he prepare? Can he feed and drink half of the members of the Martial Arts Alliance?
Once the Jianghu Association runs out of food, even if they don't want to leave, they have to leave obediently.
Admittedly, the matter is definitely not as simple as Zhou Xingyun thought. After all, behind the Jianghu Association, there may be the support of the Western Region Prince.
The princes of the Western Region were rich and powerful, and could rival the country. How could Zhou Xingyun, a small prince who had just emerged, be able to compete with the princes who had been in power for decades?
Why did Zhou Xingyun build a small town near Taiheng City? It was not because the northern towns were very poor. He had to find a way to lead everyone to become rich.
To be honest, Zhou Xingyun really felt that he was very poor,
He was so poor that he couldn't even support himself.
The Xuanyang Sect and the Northern Territory Priest Qingtian Xiong are like vampires, draining the wealth of the people in the Northern Territory. Now the towns in the Northern Territory are backward and poor, and Zhou Xingyun cannot even collect grain taxes from them.
Currently, the operating expenses of Zhenbeiqi and the Wulin League are funded by his own pocket, as well as investment assistance from the nine major national protection sects.
Zhou Xingyun popularized modern professional farming knowledge to the people in the northern border, and then built a small town near Taiheng City. The goal was to open up the market and use this place as a trade export station for northern industries to sell specialties from northern towns.
Trade, construction, and scientific research are the key to leading people to become rich and well-off.
The young warriors from the Jianghu Association were having a great time in his territory. But in Zhou Xingyun's eyes, they were just wasting their time and their lives.
The plan for the year lies in spring. If you don’t work during the spring plowing season, what will you eat during the autumn harvest season?
Thanks to the Jianghu Association, they still have the nerve to laugh at the Wulin League. When the harvest is great this autumn and the Wulin League sells high-quality and cheap agricultural products in the town and attracts all the merchants from Taiheng City, Zhou Xingyun will want to see if the Jianghu Association still laughs.
Can laugh out loud.
You must know that there is no such thing as anti-dumping in this era, and it is an era where dumping is not illegal. As long as the northern towns and Wulin League have a bumper harvest of agricultural products this year, Zhou Xingyun can dump them out and monopolize the agricultural market in this area.
Also, this year, Zhou Xingyun guided everyone on scientific farming methods and gave free fertilizers to the nine major national protection sects and farmers in northern cities and towns to improve the soil.
The common people in the Northern Territory have truly felt the ill will coming from the Marshal of the Zhenbei Cavalry... ahem, good intentions.
Zhou Xingyun taught everyone how to farm, and promised the people in the northern territory that he would not charge a penny of grain tax this year in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people.
However, although Zhou Xingyun promised that the people in the fiefdom would not collect grain taxes this year, he asked the residents of northern towns to sell their excess agricultural products to him at preferential prices.
After all, there is no free lunch in the world. Zhou Xingyun helped them so much, so he should get some benefits.
In response to this, the residents of the northern towns nodded in agreement to Zhou Xingyun. It is a bit inappropriate to use the word "agree", it should be said to be a thank you.
In the eyes of residents in northern towns, Zhou Xingyun is simply a living Buddha. Not only does he not collect grain taxes, he even pays to buy their agricultural products and help them export their products.
This is the difference between hell and heaven compared to the style of plundering people's wealth and wealth during Qingtianxiong's control period.
Although Zhou Xingyun collected products at low prices, for the people in the northern border, when Zhou Xingyun mentioned this low price, it was not cheap at all.
Because there is an obvious wealth gap between northern towns and other local towns.
In addition, there are no convenient transportation vehicles in contemporary society, so there will be an obvious difference in prices between two adjacent cities. One tael of silver is nothing in the capital and cannot buy much, but in Lingdu City in the north
, but it is a huge wealth.
Now that Zhou Xingyun has become the manager of the Northern Territory, he can only bite the bullet and resell the specialty products of the Northern Territory for the people.
Also, this year’s fertilizer will be given away for free, helping people in the north earn their first pot of gold. Next year’s fertilizer will not be free.
Take it from the people and use it for the people. Zhou Xingyun wants
Construction in the Northern Territory is absolutely impossible without money.
Three more days passed in a hurry, and within these three days, earth-shaking changes took place within the Wulin Alliance.
There has been no transfer of personnel at the Wulin League's command level. The major changes are due to an uncoordinated atmosphere spreading in the camp.
Because Jin Run'er followed Zhou Xingyun's instructions and deliberately made the young warriors of various sects tasteless and half-full, many people complained endlessly.
Everyone does physical work, which consumes a lot of calories and makes them hungry very quickly. Zhou Xingyun wants them to work but does not let them eat enough...
To be honest, both Han Qiumiao and Xu Zhiqian felt that Zhou Xingyun went too far.
Although the purpose of Zhou Xingyun's arrangement is to teach those warriors who have slacked off due to the influence of the Jianghu Association, and let everyone understand that it is the martial arts alliance that supports them now. The problem is that there are many martial arts warriors who are not slacking off and slacking off. With Zhou Xingyun's arrangement, those who work hard are
It is estimated that many people will inevitably feel resentful and turn to the Jianghu Association.
In just three days, young warriors in the camp asked why they came to assist the Martial Arts Alliance.
The current Wulin League is not as good as before. Even the leader of the Wulin League is a disciple of Jianshu Villa. On the other hand, the Jianghu Association, which is at its peak, has gradually replaced the Wulin League in the past and has become a household name in the world.
Look at the high-spirited Qiu Zhiping, Jiangnan Qishao and others who are spending time together in the mountains and forests, and then look at myself sweating in the farmland...
Many young warriors from the Wulin League sincerely lamented that it would be great if their masters joined the Jianghu Association.
There is a food shortage in the Wulin League, so the Jianghu Association will naturally not "stand idly by".
In recent days, young warriors from the Wulin League have frequently complained about not having enough to eat. When they couldn't eat well, Qiu Zhiping was very enthusiastic and generous in lending a helping hand to everyone and providing free lunches to the members of the Wulin League.
Zhou Xingyun originally thought that the young leader of the Jianghu Association would use this to sow discord and encourage the young warriors of the Martial Arts Alliance to cause trouble.
The soft-spoken young warrior would naturally obey his orders and take the lead in stirring up trouble in the camp.
In this way, Zhou Xingyun can naturally introduce contribution points, allowing the members of the Wulin League to work harder and gain more.
However, what Zhou Xingyun didn't expect was that Qiu Zhiping didn't take the bait. In other words, he adopted more subtle methods to create trouble for Zhou Xingyun.
Encouraging the young warriors of the Wulin Alliance to take the lead in stirring up trouble may seem like a way to create internal conflicts within the Wulin Alliance, but this is just a bad move.
Zhou Xingyun deliberately created the phenomenon of "food shortage" in the hope that someone would use this as an excuse to talk to him, so that he could take advantage of the situation and introduce "more work, more gain" rules and regulations.
Unfortunately, Qiu Zhiping, the young leader of the Jianghu Association, did not satisfy Zhou Xingyun. He made a clever move and took advantage of Zhou Xingyun's small flaw to defeat Zhou Xingyun's army.
How to make this wonderful move? The young alliance leader led a group of members of the Jianghu Association to come to the Wulin Alliance camp openly and openly to stand up for the "starving" warriors and seek explanation from Zhou Xingyun.
So, at around two o'clock this afternoon, Qiu Zhiping and a group of people from the Jianghu Association once again arrived at the Wulin Alliance camp.
Qiu Zhiping stood proudly in the middle of the Wulin Alliance's camp. When he saw Zhou Xingyun appear, he held his hands upright and said a polite word after being polite: "It's been a long time since we've seen each other. Alliance leader Zhou is well."
