The families were really angry.

There was already a shortage of food, but now it is still forcibly requisitioned, and it is not allowed to live?

The NPC forces, which have always been strong, that is, the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, are still strong, and after the ultimatum is issued, it is clear that you will engage in your posture if you don't do it. The dark tide is surging throughout the Huaxia District, and NPCs from all over the country are frequently mobilized.

Everyone was panicked and angry, and their hearts were raised to their throats.

This is the first time that an NPC has been so aggressive, and the first time that an NPC has been involved in interacting with a player on a large scale. When things go wrong, there must be demons. To say that there is nothing strange in this is to deceive yourself.

Could it be that there is a conspiracy behind the speculation of food prices?

Once again, the families sprang into action and searched around for information. The news is good and bad. The good news is that the Huaxia Alliance and other alliances are the same as everyone else. The bad news is that these alliances give food very happily without the slightest hesitation. It's going to be fatal.

Give it, there is a shortage of food at home. Give it to the NPC, and you'll have to tighten your belt. If you don't give it, you will attract the NPC army, and at this time, those alliances will take the opportunity to make trouble. Who can guarantee that they will survive.

Cangyue, who acted decisively, immediately beckoned a few allies and happily handed over the grain and grass. The crisis still exists, but there is still one less big threat, and it is still within the range of bearability.

And the Iron Overlord and other families are still hesitating. However, when NPCs descend from the sky and destroy several player territories, they all obey.

All this did not escape Lu Yao's ears.

"Did you design it?" The hermit briefly explained the current situation in the Central Plains and couldn't wait to ask.

Lu Yao was noncommittal and ignored it.

That's what he was waiting for.

For a long time, Xanadu City bought captives from Jiuli Mange, except for the first settlement of grain and grass, and then mostly silk and other luxury goods. In the end, Xanadu City is the main consumer in the luxury industry in the Central Plains.

With the withdrawal of various forces from Zhuya Prefecture, the population left in Zhuya Prefecture was basically completed by Xanadu City, and the demand for luxury goods plummeted. It can be said that a financial road in the Central Plains has been cut off, although this financial road is a little smaller, but for the Central Plains where there are constant wars, any financial road is the top priority. This is one of them.

Second, it is also a surprise.

Lu Yao didn't expect that his move to store grain would once again trigger the trend of grain speculation in the Central Plains. Just like temples and rivers and lakes, NPC forces are at a distance from the player group, but they are interdependent to some extent. The trend of frying food among players has inevitably affected the NPC side.

The NPC's sudden and strong food collection is due to the butterfly's flapping of its wings.

Originally, Lu Yao had the intention of calculating a little, and as he expected, he would eliminate the impact on the player groups in the territory, further increasing the possibility of food shortage.

As long as there is a natural or man-made disaster at this time, a food shortage will inevitably occur.

Lu Yao said a few perfunctory words, dismissed the excited hermit, and then withdrew from the matter, became a melon-eating crowd with peace of mind, and buried himself in the development of Xanadu City.

The population has skyrocketed by more than 100 million, and the impact is huge. Rao is Xun Yu was so busy that his heel was about to touch the back of his head, and he also suffered from the lack of enough time to settle the new population. As a result, the expansion of the army went extremely smoothly.

If there is no way out, signing up for the army is the best choice.

The first to complete the first phase of the expansion was the Xanadu Water Division. With a huge population base comes a huge number of soldiers. The strength of the Xanadu Naval Division has expanded to 1 million, and the shortfall is still as high as 600,000. At present, under the leadership of Gan Ning and other three generals, he is actively undergoing hard training. It is conceivable that once the combat power is formed, the naval division will skyrocket by ten times, or even a hundred times, compared with before.

Water warfare, in addition to strategy, is the competition of quantity.

Today, the world's paradise water division is well-deserved as the first water division in Huaxia District, firmly holding the sea power around Zhuya Prefecture in his hands.

On the other hand, Xiao Zhengtai Lu Xun received the guidance of Gan Ning, and he has shown the potential of the future governor of Eastern Wu, becoming the second person in the sailor after Gan Ning. Tai Shi Ci ranked third. The three constitute the main system of the current water division.

The Navy Division expanded to one million, and Lu Yao's focus began to shift to the Army. With an adequate supply of food and grass, the number of reservists has always remained at an extremely high level. The front foot has just been recruited, and the back foot can be filled in immediately.

In a short period of time, the army was already full, with a total strength of 500,000. With the garrisons of the various cities and territories full, the whole territory quickly settled down. The large-scale training of the whole army was immediately launched, and the territory was trained by battle, and a large number of rogue bandits who had been refreshed became the experience points of the recruits. A few arrogant Jiuli barbarians also unfortunately became the first birds and were wiped out by the Xanadu Army.

Combat power is thus formed.

After finalizing the army, Lu Yao turned his gaze back to the water division. His ambitions are not small. The reunification of Zhuya Prefecture is already in the bag. The only restriction is the level of Xanadu City, which is not enough to occupy the entire territory. And the sailor is different.

This is the basis for the unification of Zhuya.

Under this premise, Lu Yao decisively restarted the Qiankun Lou ship building plan, aiming to expand the fleet to 1,000 Qiankun Lou ships, and at the same time re-plan the Xanadu Naval Division into the four major fleets in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Lu Xun and Tai Shici also became regulars because of this, and were respectively named the Grand Governor of the Water Division, on an equal footing with Gan Ning.

Of course, at present, only the Southern Fleet led by Gan Ning is fully manned, and at the same time, this is also the first fleet, reaching the scale of 300 Qiankun ships and 1,000 ships.

The most important thing in Zhuya Prefecture is wood. With a huge population base, the progress of warship construction is amazingly fast, and it is rapidly expanding at a rate of three days. At the same time, the second phase of the expansion of the naval division was completed, and the total strength of the naval division reached two million.

Lu Yao received reports from all parties and was in a very good mood.

This was a period of rapid development in Xanadu City. Both the military and the government have made great progress. The various systems of the territory have been perfected, and the potential is immeasurable. It is conceivable that in time, the four large fleets will perform at such a high level.

However, the problem is also quite obvious.

So far, there are only three sailors: Gan Ning, Lu Xun and Tai Shici. Among them, Tai Shici was even a monk halfway, and he was pushed to the position of the general of the water division.

"There are still not enough famous generals who are good at water warfare." Lu Yao shook his head and sighed.

There are many famous generals who are good at water warfare on the Dongwu side, and almost all of them have a brush. However, I couldn't find an opportunity to dig the foot of the wall. Sun Jian is also a hero after all. At present, the attitude towards him is excellent, but when it comes to self-interest, there is no need to talk about it.

After replanning the water division, Lu Yao didn't pay attention to it. The rest is a step-by-step work of grinding time, with or without him. Newly recruited sailors need time to train, and it takes time to build ships. Overall, the outlook is bright.

Just when Lu Yao was about to focus on the situation in the Central Plains, he received unexpected news.
