The demon world I designed

The Nanman people have had a very hard time recently.

Since the Southeast County was cut off by Chen Qing, the countries that the Nanman tribes had once cooperated with the imperial court have been cut off in the southeast. As Jiangnan becomes stronger and stronger, the Tiannan Pass in the Southeast County is more difficult to conquer than when the Flying Dragon Army was there.

However, the poisonous insect miasma in the Nanman will become extremely deadly when the spiritual energy soars. Most insect medicines have a low upper limit, but they are very deadly to ordinary people in the early stage of mutation.

In this year of soaring spiritual energy, the entire Nanman population has almost lost two-thirds!

Most of them died from various poisonous insect attacks. The carnivorous and terrifying insects in the fog are the nightmares of many residents these days, but they can't avoid it.

After all, people need to eat, even those barbarians who have grown to the extraordinary level need a lot of food to supply, so how to supply food? It is impossible to rely entirely on hunting, right?

Humans are omnivorous animals, and nobles need more food diversity. Fields must be planted, and those who plant fields must be ordinary farmers.

It is difficult to protect farmers outside the city. In order to catch up with farm work, farmers must live outside the city, and their safety is far from guaranteed. This is also the reason why the population is decreasing. Although carnivorous insects are not smart, they also know to avoid cities that are difficult to conquer and choose farmers who are alone.

Even if there are soldiers stationed, safety cannot be completely guaranteed.

This also led to a large number of low-level people fleeing.

At this time, the situation inside the Southeast Pass is the most troublesome.

"Boss, there are more and more people below recently. Let's..."

After the Southeast Pass has a new door god, coupled with the rush of the engineering institute, the gate of the checkpoint there is now more than a hundred feet high, plus the blessing of the door god and the powerful formation, now let alone those southern barbarians, even if the imperial army arrives here, it dare not say that it can take this pass steadily, even though there are less than 10,000 soldiers at the pass.

The general who stayed in the southeast was one of the affiliated families of the Tian family. His surname was Bai, and his head was Bai Lie. His current rank was that of a deputy general of an army. The general guarding the southeast gate also received additional subsidies, and he commanded an army independently. In addition, the emperor was far away, so it was a good job.

Of course, it was just good. Compared with those soldiers in the West Sea near the palace and sea trade, the treatment was definitely not a little bit worse. However, such a good position was naturally not available to a family of ordinary status like the Bai family. So Bai Lie thought clearly at the beginning and simply withdrew from the fiercely competitive West Sea army. It was not bad to guard the southeast gate.

This position did not suffer much damage in the war, and there was not much work on weekdays. The treatment was also good. It was not as good as the upper and better than the lower. He had recently received a rest. The most powerful deputy generals at the time were basically dead, and it was said that there was another rebellion recently. The affiliated families that were once higher than themselves were split up one by one, and the leaders were also captured. It was estimated that even the reincarnation in the underworld would be difficult.

When he thought of this, Bai Lie couldn't help but feel fortunate for his choice. He had seen a few years ago that the old guys had lost their minds for the sake of interests, and they were becoming more and more arrogant and domineering. Sooner or later, something would happen. Now it seems that it is true.

However, he also has a lot of troubles here, but there are no big troubles. After all, the emperor is far away here, and the interpersonal relationships are simple. The small county magistrate in charge of the southeastern border city is easy to get along with. Although Shen Shiyi of the underworld is a little arrogant, he is actually not bad at heart. As long as you give in to him on weekdays, many things can be discussed. At least the treatment of soldiers injured in battle in the underworld is always generous.

The biggest trouble is what his subordinates reported now.

Bai Lie frowned as he looked at the densely packed Nanman refugees under the city gate.

These refugees are said to have been forced out by the Nanman countries and have no way to survive. It is said that many people died because they were forced to farm outside the city, which made their survival unguaranteed. It is said that billions of people died in the Nanman last year.

This number is comparable to the great disaster in the north that year, which really scared him.

Those who can escape from the valley full of miasma and poisonous insects and monsters are considered to be relatively lucky. When they reach the city, they have a little hope of survival.

Every time a monster approaches, the magic circle will be automatically activated. Those poisonous insects are very sensitive and dare not approach the position covered by the door god, which also gives this group of southern barbarians a place to breathe.

I don’t know who leaked the news that it is safe here. More and more southern barbarians are fleeing here. Over time, the people piled up at the city gate can almost build a city by themselves, almost more than a million people.

It’s so dense that it gives him a headache!

The key is that Shen Shiyi, a child who looks arrogant but is actually a little sympathetic.

Such a child has relatively great power, which is very troublesome.

He has asked himself and others to supply food to the people below more than once.

It was okay at the beginning, but now there are millions of refugees below. How can they be fed by supply? Either build a town or simply recruit them, but how dare they recruit such a group of southern barbarians?

What if there are spies among them, who will be responsible if something goes wrong?

I still want to work in this position until retirement, and I don’t want to cause trouble.

But if I say refuse, first of all, I will offend Shen Shiyi, and the women and children below really look pitiful.

I also followed Tian Shuai to Jiangnan with my family. After the family moved here, they were still nervous. I was different from the first group of people who settled in Jiangnan. I was the one who secretly brought my family here after Tian Heng came to Jiangnan and sent me a pigeon letter. That was a serious crime of killing nine clans. I didn’t know how long my wife, children and parents complained about it at the beginning.

Now I have finally lived a good life for a few years. My wife, children and parents are more and more satisfied with my original decision. I can’t make a mistake.

But looking at the children below who were starving and pale, he couldn’t help but think of his daughter when he fled.

At that time, in order not to attract the attention of the court, he didn’t dare to bring military rations. His poor daughter was hungry for more than ten days. She only had a little grass root and water to survive every day. Her pitiful appearance was exactly the same as those children below.

Now take a closer look, those southern barbarians and Central Plains people actually look similar. It is said that they once had the same ancestor. It’s really hard to bear to watch so many children starve to death under the city.

Not to mention himself, even the soldiers under his command often couldn't stand it and secretly used their own military rations to help the people below.

"Boss, if you ask me, why don't you let the people in?" One of the deputy generals said cautiously.

"Are you crazy?" Bai Lie glared at him: "Will you be responsible if something happens?"

"Actually, there is no need to be too cautious. These guys who are starving to the point of being skinny, how could there be any powerful people hiding?"

Bai Lie hesitated after hearing this. As a warrior, he knew very well that the more powerful people have higher requirements for food. For example, now, even if he eats meat specially supplied by Daqingshan every day, it starts at 100 kilograms. Many of the people below have been at the city gate for a year. It is impossible for a warrior to survive a year of malnutrition.

"Boss." Another deputy general suggested: "If you are still worried, how about we only let women and children into the city?"

"This" Bai Lie was really tempted this time, and finally said: "I'll ask the higher-ups."
