Another day passed, and it was already autumn.

As the city continued to expand outward, there were signs of peace and contentment in the territory, and in autumn, the harvest season came for the fields that had been sown and rescued during the battle under the castle for many years.

The golden and busy scene everywhere outside the city makes people feel peaceful and quiet in their hearts, but there are still many places where the scorched earth is scorched, looking out from the city tower, it is like a pitch black and ugly sore, these are the places where the battle under the city has been bombarded by the overlord's power, because the extreme power lingers, there is basically no green plant to grow in this land.

Elsewhere, the scorched earth left behind by this kind of war will become forbidden land, and it will have to wait for the hegemonic power to dissipate on its own after hundreds of years, and then gradually turn into farmland. However, under the rule of Liu Heng, he began to attach importance to farming early on, not only with the help of peasant students, but also thanks to the help of industrial students, he laid out a de-evil formation on these scorched earth, slowly refining the residual power of the overlord, and turning it into nutrients to moisten the soil, and it is said that after two years, it can become a good spiritual field.

Now in the entire territory of Great Xia, there is scorched earth everywhere, but now it is the home of the battle for the prince, and even the household department of Great Xia can't interfere, and the owners of these scorched earth belong to are busy competing for hegemony, and they have no time to be distracted, and they are finally so barren.

In this respect, the Decameron was clearly ahead of the princes.

Even if attention is paid to it early, it will take some time to restore the fertile soil, and with the rapid growth of the population under the rule of the Ten Days City, the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

When a war is a disaster, the price of food will skyrocket, and it is impossible to escape this cycle throughout the ages. In the early years, 100 catties of grain were worth about three taels of silver, but now they are close to 100 taels, and the price has skyrocketed dozens of times, and the price of livestock has risen even more frighteningly. This has long gone far beyond the scope of food and purchase for the poor people, not to mention the refugees who have been displaced by the war, if there is a god overlooking the territory of Great Xia, it can be said that there are wails all over the wilderness, and hungry corpses are everywhere.

However, such an astonishing price of food is still in short supply, because the main force of purchase is not the people of Limin, but the princes of all parties. When the war was raging, no one would consider the price of buying food, and even if the princes tried their best, they did not dare to shorten the money and food of the soldiers, even if they knew that they were slaughtered, they still had to grit their teeth and buy it.

The food purchased at a sky-high price rarely benefited the princes' people, who preferred to pile it up and let the rats flock to it, but also to reserve it as military rations, and not a single grain would be leaked to the people under their rule. They are the main force to set off the soaring food prices, and they have the only way to compete for hegemony in their eyes, but they have no time to care about the life and death of the people.

"Thanks to the Yi'an Chamber of Commerce, we have been helping to fill the gap, if there is no change over there, we will be able to postpone this year, and we will be self-sufficient in the coming year." Cao Yi sighed at Liu Heng.

"If this is the case, Mr. Cao and Mr. Lin are really meritorious. ”

Liu Heng sighed, and then said to Zhao Yi: "We are not short of money now, so we can't take advantage of the Chamber of Commerce too much. ”

Zhao Yi was embarrassed when he heard this: "General Qiyu, it's okay now, but the shortage of Yi'an Chamber of Commerce in the first two months is not a small amount, and we have always intended to make up for it, but they always don't answer from there." This, I dare to ask, I wonder if the general knows the details of the Yi'an Chamber of Commerce, and if the origin is unknown, will there be a suspicion of blackmailing with kindness?"

Liu Heng was stunned, his expression changed slightly, and he did not give an accurate response to Zhao Yi's temptation, but said: "I know about this matter, since this is the case, you don't have to pay attention to it, just leave it to me to deal with." ”

Although he didn't hear the inside story, as soon as he heard this, Zhao Yi understood, didn't ask more, and promised respectfully.

Then Liu Heng said to Wang Changming, the head of the house: "The whereabouts of grain, grass and meat must be detailed and clear, what should be given to the military must not be shortaged, and those who help the victims cannot be moved, and the market price in Yuezhou will be stabilized as soon as possible to the price of a year ago. ”

Seeing that Wang Changming gave up his hand, Liu Heng turned to Huang An, "You cooperate a lot, keep an eye on all parts of the country for me, especially those 'big rats' who came up some time ago, dare to secretly sell our grain and grass, once these people find out, they will not be forgiven! And keep an eye on me, whoever dares to stretch out his hand again, you must deal with it as quickly as possible!"

Listening to Liu Heng's cold order, Huang An looked solemn and promised loudly.

"Mr. Cao, Mr. Lin, what you have done is a great plan, just say what you need, I will do my best to help, and I will leave this matter to you. ”

A group of strategists and scribes who were busy with agricultural affairs were so excited that they said "don't dare", and then made another statement, and then saluted and shouted "Congratulations to the general" and sent Liu Heng, who was leaving quickly, away.

"How's the fight going over there in Yuzhou?"

Just now, I saw that a herald came to report again and again, and Bai Mingze, who heard the report, did not come to disturb him, seeing that there was something wrong with the situation, which was not serious, Liu Heng did not ask much. After waiting for the city wall, Liu Heng naturally asked about the recent situation of the expedition, and Bai Mingze immediately replied: "Just now, on the side of the Yuzhou Alliance, the overlord personally appeared. ”

Liu Heng frowned when he heard this, shook his head after a while, and said, "Then let the army retreat temporarily." ”

Bai Mingze nodded, and a few of the generals who stayed there wanted to speak and stopped, but they didn't say anything, and let Bai Mingze pass the military order out.

The news that the conquest army had left majestically, and as a result, they had to withdraw their troops without much success, which inevitably dampened morale, and this news could not have been worse in the eyes of the generals. But they also know that this is not a crime of war, and they can't resist the hegemon, and it is better to withdraw the army early than to stalemate there, so they can only shut up.

"From hearing that the Uzhou Alliance invited the overlord to the overlord to appear, it was only a short one day, and it came really fast. Liu Heng muttered, and looked at Huang An again, "Have you found out the origin of this overlord?"

"The subordinates are guilty!"

Huang An bowed his head and pleaded guilty, "No matter how we try to find out, we still haven't been able to find out the details of this overlord. ”

Liu Heng shook his head, "If you can find out the news that the Yuzhou Alliance invited the overlord, you will sacrifice hundreds of shadows, if you continue to investigate, I don't know how much you have to sacrifice in vain, and in the end, even if you find out, it will be worth the loss." Therefore, you must tell your subordinates that you should do your best, and don't waste your lives again. ”

Huang An received the order respectfully, and Bai Mingze next to him said: "According to the investigation, this overlord has a big breath, covering his face with bright light, and it seems that he is deliberately hiding his identity, and he can only see that he is the monk overlord, and he doesn't know anything else." ”

He then continued: "Not only the Ushu Alliance, but many princes have suddenly spread the news that they have invited the overlord to help. ”

Liu Heng nodded, this matter was reported to him yesterday along with the news of the Yuzhou Alliance, Bai Mingze mentioned it slightly, and he recalled, "How did you find out?"

In their original investigation, it was expected that there would be no more than five princes who could invite the overlord, but in just two or three days, the number soared, and it was determined that there were already seven forces with the overlord, and there were still ten forces that had spread the news.

Bai Mingze lowered his eyes, "After preliminary analysis, it should be because of the Righteous Demon War." ”

When they heard the news, they all subconsciously thought of the battle between the righteous and demons, but now it is basically certain, and it is true.

"Let's be specific. Liu Heng's eyes were far away and he said.

"I heard that the Sage Realm powerhouses on the Bojiao side are still appearing in an endless stream, and now the combat power of this level, even if the Hundred Alliances continue to replenish, it is still gradually falling into disadvantage. With the change of high-level strength, the Hundred Alliances have been under pressure, and I heard that ...... Internally, it's not very stable. Bai Mingze said a little vaguely, but the meaning of his words was already very clear.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Liu Heng frowned when he heard this, and after a while, he shook his head and said: "Then let the army retreat for the time being. ”

Bai Mingze nodded, and a few of the generals who stayed there wanted to speak and stopped, but they didn't say anything, and let Bai Mingze pass the military order out.
