Chapter 453 The war is about to begin

Zhang Mingtu was looking out at the outside world when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door downstairs.

Zhang Mingtu knew who it was without even looking at it.

"Come in!"

Zhang Fulin, whose appearance and condition were much younger than before, his hair turned black again, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have been partially unfolded, walked in.

Zhang Fulin looked a little nervous. He walked to Zhang Mingtu, looked around, and when he saw no one around, he said in a low voice: "Mingtu, I feel like something is not right recently. Why don't you ask for a period of leave first?"

Let’s go out again.”

As the only person in the Zhang family other than Zhang Mingtu who has entered the realm of true essence, and as the leader of Zhang Mingtu's early practice, Zhang Fulin can be considered conscientious and devoted to the Zhang family.

The situation in Jiujiang County was not right now, and he felt it keenly, and took the initiative to come over and tell Zhang Mingtu, hoping that Zhang Mingtu would keep a low profile recently and avoid any trouble.

"There are indeed a lot of problems recently. Mr. Fulin, you have to pay attention to it. You also need to inform your family so that they can pay special attention to it."

Zhang Mingtu did not hide this aspect too much. Everyone could see the turmoil. What he had to do now was to keep a low profile as much as possible.

"I have already given instructions. They will act in a low-key manner recently and will not act recklessly."

Listening to Zhang Fulin's voice, Zhang Mingtu's heart suddenly moved again.

Many situations are now certain. Basically, Daxia's spearhead will be directed at the Land of the Rising Sun, and a war will be inevitable.

For many characters, this is an extremely painful and difficult thing to deal with, but for the Zhang family, it is a huge opportunity for many people.

"In such a huge change, shipyards, weapons factories, and food are the key.

"The shipyard is controlled by people from aristocratic families, and a large part of it is owned by the government. Ordinary people can't get involved at all. It doesn't make much sense to me. The same concept applies to the weapons factory.

"The only thing that is useful is food. If we can seize this opportunity, the Zhang family may be able to accumulate enough money for a family in a very short period of time. It takes decades and hundreds of years to accumulate."

Zhang Mingtu was moved in his heart. The Zhang family moved with him from Jianyi to Jiujiang County, and the procedures for various chambers of commerce were completed one after another during this period, without encountering any difficulties along the way.

What happened next was normal, transporting goods from the south to the north, and then pulling goods from the north to the south, quietly accumulating wealth like other trading firms.

As long as it takes a few years, the Zhang family can gradually grow into a behemoth, take root in Jiujiang County, and then become a new batch of wealthy and aristocratic families.

But now we have new opportunities, and we don't have to be as rigid as before.

There has always been a saying in war that food and grass go first before the soldiers and horses are moved. Food and grass are very important at all times.

An army is very useful in a true battle, and it also requires an army to rule an area after it is captured.

The army consumes most food and grass when walking, which is more than ordinary strong men.

One pound of dry food is a lot for an ordinary person to eat a day. Soldiers who are really going to fight in a war can even eat three pounds.

There is no doubt that food prices will rise crazily in the future.

"It's a pity that if the army was dispatched in its original state, it would definitely be possible to make a lot of money with food. But this round, because of the Four Seasons Magic Formation I created, the Yimu Law Demonstration Formation and the improved seeds, the food can really make a lot of money."

Large-scale production at any cost at the corresponding base.

"At this time, if you want to make a fortune on a large scale in this area, it is really difficult and not very possible."

Although Zhang Mingtu has not received the notice yet, the top agricultural figures from Jiujiang County Agricultural College have not been recruited yet.

But with the court's current attention, it won't be long before spies from the Land of the Rising Sun surface one after another.

And because of the remaining copies of the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake, it is impossible for the imperial court and many figures in the Land of the Rising Sun to reach the so-called cooperation, and it is impossible to raise demons on a large scale in various places.

Even if the characters in the Land of the Rising Sun are willing, the characters above will not agree if cooperation cannot be achieved.

Because the fundamental tone has changed, raising a few so-called demons is useful for many families in the middle and lower classes, but it doesn't mean much to the families in the upper class.

Because the best parts of this land are already in their hands. Adding a few demons is not important to them, but will bring a little chaos.

But the complete book of the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake is very important to them.

This is the conclusion reached by Zhang Mingtu and Zhang Mingtu’s future brothers after many verifications.

"Oh, it's a pity that a great opportunity to make a fortune was ruined by me."

Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but sigh heavily as he thought about the technology that he had completely invented and promoted on a large scale, which greatly increased grain production.

"Forget it, this step has to be done sooner or later. Who can completely predict what will happen later."

Zhang Mingtu sighed softly. Even if he could predict a large part of what will happen in the future, the future situation is always changing, and the overall situation is constantly turbulent and will not remain unchanged forever.

"At least now many people can have a full meal and their lives are much better than before. Being able to achieve this is satisfying enough."

Although he thought so, Zhang Mingtu still wrote a note on the desk in front of him.

"It is still necessary to store a batch of grain on a large scale and give priority to stabilizing all parties. In this regard, we can say hello to Ruihai."

Yes, in theory, the various methods Zhang Mingtu created can make the food infinite and keep the imperial army full at any time.

But Zhang Mingtu understands that group of people very well. With the war, all kinds of exorbitant taxes and levies will appear.

Yimu essence, forensic evidence, and the four-season array all cost money, and these materials are not cheap.

If the rice seeds are slowly promoted and allowed to successfully grow to the best stage, then only a small amount of consumption is needed to maintain this.

But if the half-year growth period is shortened to just a few hours or a day, then the consumption will be terrible, very, very terrible.

Compared with such consumption, people in various places will of course give priority to collecting food and taxes in various places and then transport them to the front line.

This is 100% certain. After all, compared to the formation, collecting food from ordinary people can be said to be zero cost, and the more critical point is that collecting this food from ordinary people will cost a lot.

There is some loss, and these losses can be determined by their mood.

Even for large households, many people can provide enough food, but for ordinary people, many people do not have that much inventory, so they need to use money to make up for this part of the tax.

You can move your hands up and down at all stages, which is of great benefit to the tax collector. After all, after taking a piece of fat, your hands will be more or less covered with a layer of fat.

Some people stick to it more, and some people stick to it less, but there is bound to be a little bit.

Therefore, on the whole, many characters will like the latter method, and many people will agree with this method.

The situations that are happening now are not shown in the Book of Life and Death, but Zhang Mingtu's future brothers have seen too many such situations, and Zhang Mingtu is too familiar with this group of people who are now officials.

"The war in the Country of the Rising Sun on the Daxia River, if I had not intervened, would probably have lasted for a long time. Daxia did not know much about the overseas situation, even though I had dismantled the magic array in Sihai Futu Town and deployed all the formations.

I have taken away all the main formation bases and formations, and their strength in the Land of the Rising Sun cannot be underestimated.

"Xu Fu, who was hiding in Gaotianyuan, took the initiative to surrender to the hungry ghost realm. Who knows how much he got from the hungry ghost realm.

"I did not interfere and did not boast of a devastating victory. Gao Tianyuan should not choose to hide immediately. It is likely that it will take a long period of fierce fighting.

"If this situation continues, a large number of characters will definitely starve to death in Jiangnan, and many characters may have to flee to the North."

Zhang Mingtu is very familiar with and understands these situations, and he is very familiar with these operations.

There is no need for his future brothers to predict, Zhang Mingtu can make a direct judgment based on the present.

Grain reserves can be reserved, but they are mostly used to save the area that can be temporarily affected by Zhang Mingtu, Jianyi's hometown and the current Jiujiang County.

As for a wider area, Zhang Mingtu does not have that ability.

After experiencing the lessons of many future brothers, Zhang Mingtu has deeply understood a truth.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. It is of no use to aim too high. To have the world in mind, one must start from a small place or a small village step by step.

There is no use thinking too much and doing too little.

"And now I care about the world. If I want to change the whole world, I have to first check how much I weigh and my identity. Is a person like me qualified?"

After laughing at himself, Zhang Mingtu told Xue Cheng about this matter.

"Storage food, and the more the better? Things should be low-key? Okay!"

Xue Chengdu went to do it immediately without asking too many questions, and also informed Rui Hai from the side according to Zhang Mingtu's wishes.

After doing all this, Zhang Mingtu returned to the desk again.

Compared to before, Zhang Mingtu was much calmer and calmer.

The wave of tribulations at sea eliminated certain hidden dangers and unstable foundations caused by Zhang Mingtu's previous rapid breakthroughs.

For other people who come into contact with the Demon Saint's tribulation thunder, it means death without rebirth.

But for Zhang Mingtu, everything is still preventable and controllable.

After all, he has had the experience of becoming a saint, and he already has a complete set of experiences on how to deal with thunder.

Use the terrifying death energy in the Tribulation Thunder to clean up the imperfections and imperfections in your body, and then use vitality to reshape everything.

It's very easy to do. As long as you become a Martial Saint and achieve it a few times, you will be very sure of all this.

"Food can't change weapons. Don't even think about armor and shipyards. It's impossible. If you want to get enough benefits from this wave of war, you have to come from another direction!"

Zhang Mingtu was scratching his head. It wasn't that there were no options, but there were so many. He couldn't make up his mind for a while. Which one should he come up with first?

The future brothers left too many valuable properties to Zhang Mingtu.

"The four-season circle that ripens the elixir in advance can be further strengthened. It can be divided into twenty-four solar terms just like what I remembered in my previous life. As long as I can forge the traces of time and manipulate it in a very short period of time,

With the forensic evidence coming, such a round can ripen the elixir in a short period of time...

"Forget it, it's not easy to take out this magic circle directly. If you take it out now, the strength of the royal family will be greatly enhanced, and the same will be true for the top aristocratic families. After all, they are the only ones who have the corresponding spiritual land to plant elixirs.

.”

Zhang Mingtu gave priority to vetoing this direction.

"Improved weapon casting methods?"

In this aspect, his future brother had also changed and had perfect improvement technology, but Zhang Mingtu thought about it and shook his head as before.

It's the same reason as the previous one. This kind of technology will basically only benefit aristocratic families and the royal family, and it won't gain much benefit itself.

This kind of technology is considered a very special technological innovation, but Zhang Mingtu does not have a blacksmith shop for casting weapons and a blacksmith who has been working hard for many years. Neither does Zhang Mingtu's family.

If it is taken out, it is basically a one-time sale. When it comes to this kind of item, the royal family will definitely give priority to keeping it confidential, and there are no small problems in taking out such technology as Zhang Mingtu.

"In this case, we can only try from another direction."

Zhang Mingtu scratched his head and felt that he had to develop another vest.

He touched his chin and looked at the real green dragon lying on his shoulder, and then he couldn't help but smile. Xiaoqing's body trembled and he trembled inexplicably.

"What are you thinking? You pervert! Take back your perverted thoughts. I tell you, I am a demon saint now. Pay attention to your attitude."

"I have a good thing that I want to share with you. I would like to ask you to help me."

"You will still do good things. I haven't encountered any good things since I saw you. I won't do it!"

Xiaoqing answered quickly and decisively, completely without thinking.

Zhang Mingtu didn't care at all and just said calmly: "Do you think you have a choice?"

ps: I have a second Yang, and I felt dizzy yesterday. I had a fever, drank some water and lay down. I was planning to get up at ten o'clock to type, but when I woke up, it was already the next day.

My condition is better today. My fever has gone down, but I am still sweating all over my body and I am very weak.

Everyone should pay attention to something recently. It seems that the second wave of the new coronavirus is coming.

If my condition here is better, I will try my best to make up for it, sorry!
