Although Bai Yu was full of confidence, in fact, he was very worried about Ling Guhui's attitude. The reason why he dared to let Ling Gu face those humans who had encountered the dark days and listen to the experiences of those humans was only because of what he had seen in Ling Gu's nightmare before.

Ling Gu loves him, and when a gap is opened in his possessiveness, he can no longer bear the loneliness of being crippled. He wanted all of it.

In the evening, after eating dinner and bathing, Bai Yu did not use spiritual methods, but slowly wiped Ling Gu's long hair with a cloth towel. Before he said anything, Ling Gu tilted his head back and looked at him: "What's on your mind?" ”

Bai Yu was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "Well, there is something I want to tell you." ”

"What's wrong?"

After Bai Yu dried Ling Gu's hair, he sat down next to Ling Gu and said, "Here's the thing. ”

Bai Yu told him about the situation in the Hundred Scenes City, and then looked at Ling Gu sideways, for fear of missing any of Ling Gu's subtle expressions.

Ling Gu was silent for a moment after hearing this, frowned and asked Bai Yu: "Since you said that you would give an explanation in two days, what are you going to do?" ”

Bai Yu's answer was very simple: "Those who are willing to stay, and those who are unwilling will leave." Or, let's start a new city. ”

"Huh?" Ling Gu was stunned, thinking that such a compromise attitude was too inconsistent with Bai Yu's style. But after thinking about it again, Ling Gu also thought of the root of Bai Yu's compromise. Ling Gu's chest was swollen and painful - happy because of Bai Yu's respect for him, and distressed because he had restrained Bai Yu's hands and feet.

"So be it." Ling Gu rolled his eyes and said to Bai Yu slyly: "If you believe me, in two days, you will leave the matter to me." ”

Bai Yu was stunned, and then laughed happily. He leaned over and hugged Ling Gu: "Okay." I believe in you. ”

Ling Gu's attitude, without the slightest hesitation from beginning to end, simply stood on his side neatly, which made Bai Yu ecstatic.

The next day, Ling Gu got up early and handed over the egg baby to Bai Yu to take care of, and he mysteriously ran out of the commander's mansion and went to Qin Qian's mansion.

Qin Qian's mansion is not small, but there is only a small house inside, which is the tallest building in the Shuai Mansion. Above the top floor, there was a huge lair, which was Qin Qian's mount, the Blazing Nest. Blaze is a dark red cloud eagle with a horse head and talons, and a pair of powerful wings that can't run fast, but can fly.

At this time, Qin Qian was spraying a potion on Blazing Flame, which could make Blazing Feathers more shiny and insect-proof.

It was the first time Ling Gu had seen Blazing Flame, and he was so stunned that he almost forgot what he meant. It wasn't until the blazing feathers flew away that Ling Gu talked to Qin Qian about business.

"A map of Bermuda?" Qin Qian was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Ling Gu meant, so he smiled with relief and took out all the information about Bermuda City that they had researched and sorted out these days.

Ling Gu listened to Qin Qian's explanation, and after an hour, he finally had an understanding of the current situation in Bermuda City. Bermuda has one of the biggest gaps – monopolies.

Salt and iron are very important to the army and the people. And now, almost all the salt and iron shops in the Ma family and Wanjia are closed. The impact of the iron shop is not big for the time being, but the impact of the salt shop is very wide. Today, the price of salt in the city has increased nearly tenfold, but the supply is still in short supply, and people naturally complain.

Secondly, there is the management system.

Bermuda did not have a systematic governing body at all, and the intertwined "bureaucratic" system of the four major families, as well as the combined forces of temples and temples, were evenly matched. This structure will only deal with what is beneficial to them, and public education, city defense, agriculture, military industry, etc., are all falling apart.

Ling Gu was sure that the reason why Bermuda City had been able to stand for twenty years and still prosper. It was because the people of Bermuda understood that there could be no civil strife, otherwise they might provoke the Shuai Mansion and lead the most powerful force to be withdrawn from Bermuda.

However, now, the reverence of the city people for Bai Yu has gradually been replaced by anger, and coupled with the resentment of the lack of salt guide, the feelings of the city people have further lost control. Bermuda's shape is in danger, and the first civil strife is on the verge of breaking out.

Of course, in view of the situation in Bermuda, Bai Yu and Qin Qian have also drawn up some preliminary plans these days - for the monopoly of salt and iron, a salt smelting workshop will be developed by the seaside, and the flow of iron ore will also be controlled by the Shuaifu; The soldiers of the You family will be led by the elite soldiers of the Shuaifu, and they will begin to register with their real names for preparation.

There is also a draft of the management system, but it is absolutely impossible to implement it in the near future. Overall, Bermuda is in a sense of "a waste waiting to be rebuilt".

"Concentrate on the construction of military industrial workshops?" Ling Gu read the draft and found the entry point.

"Well, that's the idea." Qin Qian added tea for him and continued: "The mineral resources of the Central Realm are very rich, but the nearest iron mine to Bermuda City is also a hundred miles away, and now it has been controlled by the people of the Ma family, and the You family scouts have been sent to explore the way first. After retrieving the iron ore in the future, he planned to open a workshop near the iron mine to extract the iron and transport it back. ”

"What about farming? I think even the palace family mostly buys rice from other cities. There are very few monks in the valley, and the demand for ingredients among the city's citizens is also very large. ”

"Well, it is true that in the past, merchants from the city carried a lot of goods back and forth, and the prices varied. After that, if you want to manage it systematically, you have to open up farmland, which is self-sufficient, and it is also convenient for unified taxation. Qin Qian nodded.

Ling Gu rolled his eyes and smiled. He lay on the table and hooked his finger at Qin Qian: "General Qin, how do you see this......"

After listening to Ling Gu's response, Qin Qian's face was a little strange. Ling Gu looked worried and said, "If there is anything wrong, you can just say it, don't worry about my feelings." ”

Qin Qian smiled, shook his head and said, "I'm just surprised, if you want to take care of it seriously, you can too." ”

Ling Gu raised his eyebrows proudly and smiled, but immediately realized that there was something wrong with this: "How does it sound, I used to be very unreliable?" ”

Qin Qian laughed dryly: "Back then, the domain master, your realm was much larger than Bermuda City. Relying on his strong demonic power, he exposed the form of the domain, and picked up everything he saw and raised it. In the heyday, there were no less than millions of demon beasts, monks, and spirit beasts in the realm. And there is no zoning, no division of resources, no matter the contradictions......"

Qin Qian put his hand on his forehead, as if his head was hurting: "I only know now, it turns out that you just didn't want to care about it at the beginning." ”

Ling Gu: "......"

――Does this count as taking the blame for your past self?

Ling Gu felt that he seemed to see another side of Scarlet Yang in addition to being powerful and kind.

"Ahem." Ling Gu coughed lightly and skipped the topic: "Since this method is feasible, let's do it." I'll go and tell Bai Yu, you tell them about it, and prepare it. ”

"Okay, Childe." Qin Qian smiled: "But since it was Gongzi who proposed it, then Gongzi will have to worry a lot about the follow-up matters." ”

Ling Gu: "......"

The discussion between the two did not end until the evening.

When Ling Gu came out of the room, he found that the snow outside was heavy again. Bai Yu stood at the door of the mansion, although the snow was heavy, there was no snow within one meter of him, and the moment the snowflakes fell on the top of his hair, they disappeared.

Bai Yu held a fiery swaddling baby in his arms and looked at Ling Gu with a smile: "Let's go back to eat." ”

Ling Gu's eyes were glued to the swaddling clothes in Bai Yu's arms, he thought it was a newborn cub from the Shuai Mansion, and immediately ran over excitedly and curiously, grabbed Bai Yu's arm and carefully lifted a piece of cloth on the swaddling clothes, and then he saw that there was a round egg lying in what should be the baby's head.

Ling Gu: "......"

"Hold it." Bai Yu stuffed the swaddling clothes into Ling Gu's arms, but Ling Gu couldn't do it, so he could only catch it.

Although Ling Gu has never had children, he likes children and holds a lot, so he naturally understands the posture. When he posed holding the baby, a hot current surged in his heart inexplicably.

It's like, although he realized that this egg was his child before, but now he is holding the swaddling clothes in his hand, as if his heart is full, and that feeling of steadfastness and conviction surges through his whole body with the blood.

This is my child.

Ling Gu took a deep breath, suppressed the heat flow in his heart, and did not say anything. He looked up and smiled at Bai Yu: "Go back, I also have something to tell you." ”

Back at the Commander's Mansion, Ling Gu didn't tell Bai Yu about the solution he came up with. He only said to Bai Yu: "Early the day after tomorrow, I will go to the main gate of the Shuai Mansion with you to talk to those city citizens." If you believe me, leave it all to me, just once, I promise. ”

"I said, I believe you." Bai Yu looked at Ling Gu and was extremely serious: "So, I also hope you can trust me." Trust me to protect you no matter what time I am. I belong to you. ”

Ling Gu leaned over with a smile, kissed the corner of Bai Yu's lips, and said, "I believe you." I'll give you a gift on the wedding night. ”

Bai Yu blinked, a little expectant.

However, no one expected that early the next morning, there would be an accident outside the Shuai Mansion.

It turned out that yesterday, there were nearly 2,000 people surrounding the open space in front of the Shuai Mansion, if it weren't for Meng Yu and Bo Yan's precautions, these people would have rushed directly into the Shuai Mansion. However, because of the heavy snow last night, these people could not endure the bitter cold, and only built a few large fires in front of the marshal's mansion, leaving some people - beware of the marshal's mansion to build an enchantment, or escape. The rest went home first.

Early this morning, one of the cubs was playing with the snow, and when he heard that there was not much movement outside the wall, he dared to climb the wall in the form of a half-beast. This scene happened to be seen by the regrouped city's citizens, I don't know who called a wild beast, and then someone in the crowd was inexplicably excited, and threw snow balls, stones, vegetable leaves and other things that could be reached at hand, and smashed them against the wall.

People have a herd mentality, especially such a group of people who don't have much reason and are enthusiastic.

Fortunately, with the elite guards on its side, the cub was only slightly frightened, changed back into the form of a furball beast, and was picked up by his family trembling.

However, this incident angered the elite soldiers, and the shape was even more severe.

After Bai Yu and Ling Gu learned about the incident, they immediately went to the outside of the Shuai Mansion.
