I Have a Mythical Tree

The soldiers of the Cang Shou Army have been practicing diligently for more than ten days. The effects of Tailai Lingshui have gradually begun to appear. The breakthrough realm is not far behind.

As the lord of the Taicang Kingdom, Ji Xia was very pleased with this change, and went to the military camp with Poxian and Ji Qianqing many times to reward the soldiers who practiced quickly.

He issued a decree that as long as there are soldiers who can break through the realm, they can get a lot of food-within three months, the whole family will have three meals a day.

So the soldiers of the Cang Shoujun worked harder and practiced almost day and night, hoping to earn enough rations for their families.

According to Tai Cang's current living standard, even if there are Tai Cang soldiers in the family and can receive their salaries, there is no guarantee that they will have two full meals a day, let alone a full meal.

Food for March, or the full amount of three meals a day?

This kind of treatment is probably only available to high-ranking officials in Taicang. If you don't cherish the opportunity, you will have to regret it when you go hungry next time.

"Master, Dr. Nong is here."

Today, Ji Xia is looking at the acres of fields behind Tai Cang City from a distance, and busy figures on the fields are harvesting rice.

A burly young man next to him bowed and passed the pass. This young man was exactly Jing Ye who had fought alongside Ji Xia a few days ago and met by chance in Nanqing Lane.

A few days ago, Ji Xia was inspecting the barracks, and had already served as Jing Ye in the army by a chance encounter. Because of his outstanding strength and his contribution to protecting the country's lord in the last war, Jing Ye was appointed as the minister of life and commanded five hundred people.

When Ji Xia saw Jing Ye, he suddenly realized that he didn't have a trusted confidant around his age who had passed the test, so he asked Jing Ye if he would give up his position as a minister and serve as the king's imperial court in the royal court.

Without hesitation, Jing Ye immediately took off the badge of Mingqing and bowed to accept it.

In the next few days, Jing Ye often followed Ji Xia's side, doing some communication, reporting, and guarding matters.

"Chen Gushu, see the lord." A middle-aged man bowed to Ji Xia.

Ji Xia signaled him to be excused, and asked, "Dr. Nong, a minister reported a few days ago that Taicang's grain production this season has decreased by as much as 20%. Can you find the reason?"

Gu Shu looked a little embarrassed, and he lowered his head to cover his face and said, "Dr. Nong is ashamed of the sky. Over the past few days, Chen and several colleagues have been researching day and night, and found that there is no problem with the soil, water quality, or sunlight. It is man-made destruction, but the food production has indeed decreased by 20%, and I don’t know the reason, so I ask the Lord to punish me.”

Ji Xia frowned, food was Tai Cang's top priority, except for the fertile fields behind Taicheng, Tai Cang had no source of food at all.

There is very little fish in the Haixin River, and food cannot be grown in the Gobi and dense forests. If the army goes hunting in these places, there will be huge casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, three crops a year, with a yield of 4,000 jin per mu, has become a vital food production place for Tai Cang.

"There are very few fields next to Taicheng, only 6,000 mu of land. Even if these fields are infiltrated by the spirit of heaven and earth, one mu of land can produce a total of 12,000 jin of grain three times a year, which is still too little for Tai Cang."

"Because there are more than 400,000 people in Taicheng to feed. If Cangcheng hadn't been able to dispatch some people in the past, I am afraid that the people would not even be able to eat rice porridge twice a day. Now that the third ripening grain has been reduced so much, I am too What about the people of the city? How do they spend the day? Do they eat dirt?"

Ji Xia's voice was very severe, because food was really too important to Tai Cang.

Although he has the Aquarius of Ten Thousand Grains he exchanged last time, he is still not sure how much the Aquarius of Ten Thousand Grains produced from the sacred tree will produce, nor does he know whether the only one hundred spirit crystals in the treasury are enough Not enough for the treasure bottle to swallow.

more importantly,

He originally planned to keep this treasure bottle and use it after the sun died down, so that the people of Taicang could reduce their fear in the dark.

Therefore, compared with the increase in military strength, the food production of Tai Cang's fields is only more important than the increase in military power. If the doves and dogs have not come over, and the strong man of the big talisman has not planned to destroy Tai Cang, the people of Tai Cang will starve to death first. Also too aggrieved.

"Please forgive me, the lord. Gu Shu will call all the farmers in the farmer's mansion to study day and night, and they will definitely gain something within a month."

"Speed ​​up the progress. The third ripening period has passed, and the grain harvest has almost been completed. This reduction in production is irreversible, but this situation must not happen during the first ripening period next year. No matter what, if the grain production continues to decrease next year, you will be able to Thank you so much.”

"I understand."

Dr. Nong's face is lonely, and his heart is sad, not because of Ji Xia's cold words, but because he is worried that the reduction of land production will inevitably cause many Taicang people to starve to death, unable to survive the day.

Ji Xia was also very worried. It had been more than a month since he came to the Boundless Wilderness, and the death of the sun was less than three months away. Imagine the horror of the silence of the sun.

The three sun stars all sank and never rose again. The earth was shrouded in thick darkness, the wind and snow were raging, and the severe cold never faded. All the vegetation and poultry would die. The humble human race had no way to do anything.

This is also the reason why the population of Taicang has not been developed. Even in the peaceful age, after a long period of cultivation and rest, it is difficult to increase the population. After a day of silence, it will be beaten back to its original shape.

"As a creature in the boundless wild, I'm really desperate." Ji Xia smiled wryly in her heart.

For example, Tai Cang, the first thing to face is the double calamity of food shortage and the death of the sun. If you can survive these disasters, there will be a series of disasters waiting for you, such as natural disasters, wild beasts, and continuous wars.

"It's hell mode." The young king sighed.

Seeing Ji Xia sighing, Jing Ye sighed in his heart, and said, "My lord, the food production has been greatly reduced. Should the army reduce the diet? Should the previous reward system be cancelled? The bulk of the food, if we can save some from the army, we can save some people from dying in the dead of day.”

Ji Xia shook his head and said: "No, if it was an era without wars, and Taicang was facing such a predicament, it would not be a bad idea to save some from the army, but now that many wars are imminent, if the rations of the soldiers are deducted at this time, it will hurt Their combat power has a huge impact, and the morale that has just become high will also drop, and the loss outweighs the gain."

He looked at the colorful clouds in the sky from a distance and said: "If you lose some food, some people will die every day, but if you lose in the battle, the whole sky will perish."

Jing Ye was thoughtful, and Ji Xia asked, "Do you think I'm too cold-blooded?"

Jing Ye bowed and said, "As the superior, the king naturally has to take care of the overall situation. He can't just see the gains and losses in front of us like ordinary people like us."

Ji Xia smiled and said: "I saw you in the past with a dignified uprightness, how come you have learned to flatter me?"

"Jing Ye is telling the truth." Jing Ye said with a serious face: "I used to hear people talking about the king, but now I realize that those people are just pointless and nonsense. If I meet them again, I will swell their cheeks." mouth."

Ji Xia's expression did not change at all: "They evaluated me as the prince before. At that time, I was protected by my father and the king, and the ministers took care of the state affairs. I didn't have to put my heart into everything. It was indeed a bit stubborn. People of the Taicang It’s not wrong to say.”

Ji Xia turned to look at those hard-working people in the distance, and said: "But now that I am the lord of the country, I will be responsible for the entire Taicang, and more importantly, if Taicang dies, I will I can’t escape, my head will become the spoils of other races, and I may have to endure many times of torture before that, so that I can live or die for their pleasure.”

Jing Ye shook his head resolutely, and said, "That day won't happen."

Ji Xia's face gradually turned cold: "Of course there won't be that day."

"Because all the races and countries that dare to covet the sky and my head will be remembered by me."

"They will all be killed by me."
