"The officials who destroyed the warehouse materials due to dereliction of duty have been arrested, and the lord can be punished at any time. However, there are a few purely because of irresistible factors, please be aware of the general! ”

As he spoke, Xun sent a list of the names of the warehouses where the accident occurred, the specific number of damages, the reasons for the damage and the corresponding responsible persons.

Shang Ji took it and glanced at it, nodded and said, "Naturally, accidents caused by irresistible factors are no longer within the scope of punishment!" ”

"The general is wise!"

Xun Xiaoxiao sent a sycophant.

"The subordinate has worked with Fengxiao to formulate new warehouse management regulations and carry out necessary renovations to existing warehouses to minimize risks. I believe that the probability of an accident in the warehouse will be greatly reduced in the next period of time! ”

"Well, it's good, Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao have worked hard."

Shang Ji nodded, and motioned for the narrator's drama to continue the introduction.

Xi Zhicai realized and continued: "In addition to the loss of personnel and materials, the death storm has a more far-reaching impact on our army! ”

"The most obvious and pressing problem is the limited use of space equipment. In the future, our army must take logistical support into account, and a large-scale long-distance expedition will become a luxury in the Dead Continent! ”

Shang Ji was silent for a while, then nodded slowly

The space ring is limited and can only be taken but not stored, which is a fatal blow to the Pingzhou army's long-distance running ability.

At the beginning, because he was worried that he would have an accident, Shang Ji deliberately limited the number of material reserves of the Qiankun Ring to avoid repeating the mistakes of Helian. This decision made Shang Ji regret it now, he had carefully counted it before, and the materials in the Qiankun Ring were probably only enough for the needs of a million troops for two months.

Shang Ji had already decided that he would not easily use the materials stored in the Qiankun Ring until the critical moment. These materials will become the last straw for the Pingzhou Army!

"In addition to the surge in logistical pressure, there is one more thing to note! The treasure bag that previously held the war golem is also a variant of space equipment. The subordinates have confirmed that once the war puppet is out of the treasure bag, it cannot go back. That is, our mass killer war puppets have also lost the role of raids! ”

This bad news made Shang Ji's eyelids jump again!

War golems are huge in size and consume quite a lot of energy to drive. Previously, it could be carried around in a treasure bag, which perfectly solved the problem of lack of mobility.

But now, when he thought of the size of the war puppet and the terrifying consumption of spirit stones, Shang Ji felt like he was collapsing!

Let the war puppets run to the battlefield on their own, and the merchant will have to go bankrupt!

As if seeing through Shang Ji's distress, Xi Zhicai continued: "However, Master Gong and Master Hephaestus jointly designed a large cart specially designed for transporting war puppets, which solves the problem of insufficient mobility of war puppets to a certain extent. ”

"Of course, this kind of big car is expensive and has a lot of restrictions."

Shang Ji nodded with a wry smile, and then added: "Mr. Hardship, let's talk to Hephaestus and let them design some cheap and easy-to-use small and medium-sized vehicles. In the future, our combat mode will be changed, logistics support has become the top priority, and although the vehicles that transport materials are inconspicuous, they are also key equipment! ”

"The subordinates understand that they will cooperate with Mr. Gongyi to do the relevant work!"

"The limited use of space equipment only restricts the use of our army's military strength, but if this problem is not solved in the future, then we are afraid that we are in danger of annihilation!"

"Oh? What's the problem? ”

Listening to Xi Zhicai's words, everyone was shocked, and even Shang Ji sat up straight and asked out loud.

"Food!"

Xi Zhicai slowly spit out two words.

"Grain?"

"That's right, it's food!"

Seeing that Shang Ji was a little puzzled, Xi Zhicai continued to explain: "My lord, based on the observations of the last few days and the information sent from various places, my subordinates have inferred that the grain output will fall into a cliff-like collapse in the future. If we cannot solve the problem of reducing grain production, I am afraid that our army will be in big trouble! ”

"Elaborate!"

"Lord, all the robes!"

Xi Zhicai got up and said in a condensed voice: "As we all know, the grain production efficiency of the Death Continent was three times that of the Han Dynasty before, and the grain has always been in a state of oversupply, and there has never been a shortage of grain in various places. However, not to mention the arrival of the death storm and the return of grain production efficiency to normal levels, extreme disasters such as floods, droughts, and locust plagues have occurred in different regions one after another, and it is inevitable that grain production will be reduced or even wiped out.

In the long run, the entire continent of death will fall into a food shortage. And the food shortage will inevitably lead to the intensification of wars and epidemics of diseases, and even our army may drown in the tide of the times by accident! ”

"What is the specific damage to farmland in various regions? Can this be avoided by increasing investment in infrastructure, controlling locusts, gently collecting taxes, digging irrigation facilities such as canals, and expanding the area under cultivation? ”

"The situation is not optimistic, this is a summary of the disaster situation reported in various places recently, and I would like to ask the lord to take a look."

As he spoke, Xi Zhicai put a thick booklet on the ground.

Shang Ji looked through it while listening to Xi Zhicai's introduction: "The disaster situation is quite serious, and natural disasters that endanger agricultural production have occurred in almost all places under the rule of our army, but the degree of disaster is slightly different in each place.

Of course, the several methods mentioned by the lord can have the effect of alleviating the disaster, but according to the estimation of his subordinates, it is not enough to completely solve the problem. In addition, whether it is locust control or flood control, it requires a large amount of capital investment."

"It's okay! Later, the military advisor and Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao will jointly make a budget, and how much money is needed, just report it! If necessary, local garrisons could even be mobilized to assist in the construction of infrastructure. ”

Shang Ji waved his hand and interrupted Xi Zhicai's words very arrogantly.

Shang Ji can now proudly say, "The poor have money left!" ”

In all the wars, successive battles and victories, a large number of countries and regions were wiped out in the hands of merchants, and the funds harvested were naturally astronomical.

Although the crazy expansion of the army and the successive wars have spent a lot of income, the total amount of funds in the business bag is still 1.6 billion!

"By the way, a word for the farmers, bother the farmers to work hard, according to the current characteristics of frequent extreme conditions, to see if we can cultivate some highly resistant crop seeds. Not for high yield and taste, but for tenacious vitality and resistance to extreme natural disasters. ”

After finishing speaking, Shang Ji turned his head to look at Xun again, and asked, "Wen Ruo, how much grain does our army currently have in reserve?" ”

"General Hui, according to statistics, at present, there are 670 million stones of grain in official warehouses in various parts of our army, and 13.2 billion pieces of finished military grain at all levels."

As soon as Xun's voice fell, the hall was suddenly booed!

After listening to Xi Zhicai's words just now, everyone was nervous to death, as if they were going to run out of food tomorrow, but after listening to Xun's report, they found that we had stored so much food!

Not to mention the 670 million stone of grain, this more than 13 billion pieces of military food alone is enough for all the officers and men of the Pingzhou Army to eat for more than two years!

In the face of everyone's boos, Xi Zhicai, Xun and the others did not change their faces, and continued: "Although there is a lot of grain reserves, they are not optimistic in the face of the unprecedentedly severe situation. I ask the lord to immediately order that all foreign grain trade be frozen, and not a single grain in the Pingzhou military area will be allowed to flow out! ”

After a little thought, Shang Ji decisively agreed to Xi Zhicai's proposal and ordered: "Pass on the general's order, from now on, the foreign grain trade in the Pingzhou Military Area will be temporarily frozen, and the grain will only enter and not leave, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”
