At the same time that Zhao Yi won the victory and pressed a large number of treasures, materials, and private soldiers to return to Zhaojiabao to restore their lives, Zhao Tian and other 15th Route Army also successfully wiped out the people of the Xu family, the Wang family, the Li family, the Zhang family and other sixteen families, and returned to Zhaojiabao with a large number of booty.

At this point, except for the Yu family, who was very aware of current affairs and lifted their threat in advance, was taken a look at by Zhao Hu and let go, the other seventeen affiliated families of the Zhao family were all wiped out by Zhao Hu.

At the same time, with the stabilization of the internal situation in Zhaojiabao, Zhao Hu, who had obtained a large amount of loot and greatly increased his strength, began to set his sights on the Flying Tiger Gang, which had already occupied a large amount of territory and population in Zhaojiabao.

Bang! Bang! Bang! A loud knock sounded outside the door.

"Come in." Zhao Hu put away the Dark Sacred Scripture, stood up, and looked up at the main door of the study.

"Young Master, an envoy from the Flying Tiger Gang has come to see you, do you want to see him?" Zhao Zhong walked into the study and looked at Zhao Hudao with a relaxed face.

"An emissary of the Flying Tigers? What is he here for? We don't seem to have much friendship with the Flying Tigers! Zhao Hu asked with a puzzled expression

"Young Master, according to my estimate, the envoys of the Flying Tiger Gang are likely to come for food." Looking at the look of doubt on Zhao Hu's face, Zhao Zhong opened his mouth to explain.

"Grain? Could it be that the Flying Tiger Gang still wants to buy food from our Zhaojiapu? Hearing Zhao Zhong's speculation, Zhao Hu said with disdain on his face.

"Young Master, although the land of chaos is vast, most of the fertile soil suitable for growing grain is under the control of our Zhaojiabao, and other forces only need a small amount of land suitable for growing grain. Usually, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, although there is relatively little land suitable for growing food in other forces, the harvest is barely enough for it.

However, this year's grain has been completely destroyed by a month of heavy rains, and we must wait for next year if we want to get new food replenishment. And in the land of chaos, except for our Zhaojiabao, other forces will not survive next year by relying on their own grain reserves, so the Flying Tiger Gang will send envoys to buy food from us, so as not to fall into the predicament of running out of food. Zhao Zhong knew that Zhao Hu had just returned to the Land of Chaos not long ago, and he was not very clear about the specific situation of the Land of Chaos, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"Oh, and such a thing! Being able to think about the future in advance, it seems that the leader of the Flying Tigers is not a simple character! Hearing Zhao Zhong's explanation, Zhao Hu praised loudly, and then his eyes lit up and said, "Grandpa Zhao Zhong, how much grain do we still have in Zhaojiabao now?" ”

"Young Master, most of the grain in our Zhaojiabao has been traded between the old castle lord and the people of Tianxian Island. At present, our Zhaojiabao's grain can only support our Zhaojiabao's own use if we remove the seeds sown next year, and if the young master wants to use the grain to make a fortune, he can only disappoint the young master. Zhao Zhong seemed to see Zhao Hu's thoughts, and reminded loudly.

"Grandpa Zhao Zhong, you said that this year's heavy rain for a month has wiped out all the grain in our chaotic land, so what will the situation on the entire continent look like? Will the entire continent be plunged into a food shortage? Zhao Hu didn't seem to hear the reminder in Zhao Zhong's mouth, but instead spread his thinking to the entire continent.

"Young Master, this year's month-long torrential rain has swept through the real Qinglong Continent, and all the grain on the Qinglong Continent will be extinct this year, but the mainland will not fall into the predicament of food shortage. Because the continent is densely covered with jungles, there are countless beasts and monsters, which can be hunted to supplement the lack of food.

At the same time, the three major empires on the continent all have thousands of large granaries, and the amount of grain stored in each granary cannot be calculated, and all the grain reserves of the three empires together can support the entire population of the entire continent for three years. Zhao Zhong saw that the look in Zhao Hu's eyes was getting brighter and brighter, obviously he wanted to use the work on the food, and couldn't help but remind softly.

"Grandpa Zhao Zhong, I want to ask you a question, the three major empires have abundant grain reserves, but will they take them out and sell them to other small and medium-sized empires, the forces in various places on the continent and on various islands? At the same time, do the major forces on the mainland and many islands have the same abundant grain reserves as the three empires? Zhao Hu saw that Zhao Zhong always reminded himself that he shouldn't think more about food, and couldn't help but ask loudly.

"Young master, on the mainland and many islands, there are indeed many forces that do not have the habit of storing grain, and the strategic reserves of the three empires will not be sold easily, today's heavy rain will make many forces fall into the predicament of lack of food, but what does this have to do with our Zhaojiabao? Not to mention that we don't have much food in Zhaojiabao now, even if we take out all the food in Zhaojiabao, it is impossible to help other forces tide over the difficulty of food shortage!

Young master, you better think more about our own internal affairs in Zhaojiabao! Since the young master, you have exterminated all the families that have been attached to our Zhaojiabao and brought all the people under them into the name of our Zhaojiabao, resulting in our Zhaojiabao's food expenditure seriously exceeding the standard, which is about to exceed the limit that our Zhaojiabao can bear. Zhao Zhong saw that Zhao Hu always focused his attention on food, and involuntarily reminded softly.

"Grandpa Zhao Zhong, I know what you said, you can rest assured, I guarantee that our Zhaojiabao will not fall into the predicament of lack of food, and today's continuous month-long rainstorm will bring us countless opportunities for Zhaojiabao to rise." Hearing the dissatisfaction in Zhao Zhong's tone, Zhao Hu knew that he was concerned about himself, so he no longer continued to ask about food, but said a word of emotion with excitement and longing on his face.

"Young Master, the envoy of the Flying Tiger Gang is still waiting in the living room! Shouldn't you go out and meet him? Zhao Zhong saw the look of excitement and longing on Zhao Hu's face, his brows furrowed slightly, thinking that he was daydreaming, so he reminded loudly.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the relationship between our Zhaojiabao and the Flying Tiger Gang is not good, what does it matter if our envoy waits for a while?" Zhao Hu, whose face was full of excitement, glanced at Zhao Zhong and said softly, then raised his head and shouted loudly to the guards outside the door: "Come on, go and find me the head of the guard Zhao Yi and Captain Zhao Tian, I have something to ask them." ”

Soon after, Zhao Yi and Zhao Tian entered Zhao Hu's study together. "Brother Zhao Yi, how is the reorganization of the soldiers we recruited?" As soon as Zhao Yi entered the study, Zhao Hu asked softly.

"Young master, the time is too short, only half of the soldiers we recruited have just been reorganized, and the remaining half has not had time to be reorganized, and at the same time, the morale of the army after the reorganization is also low, and the combat effectiveness is extremely poor, without three or five months of training, it is impossible to form any combat effectiveness, therefore, I hope that the young master will not start the war lightly during this time." Seeing Zhao Hu's impatient look, Zhao Yi thought that he wanted to send troops to attack that force again, and hurriedly dissuaded loudly.

"Brother Zhao Yi, where do you want to go, I'm just asking." Hearing the dissuasive look in Zhao Yi's tone, Zhao Hu smiled a little embarrassedly, seriously, he really wanted to use troops against the Flying Tiger Gang to regain the land he originally occupied in Zhaojiabao! However, when he knew that his army was not combative, he dismissed the plan to use troops.

"Young Master, you better go and meet that envoy of the Flying Tiger Gang! After all, our Zhaojiabao is in a weak period during this time, and we don't have the strength to fight with the Flying Tiger Gang, so it's better not to have any conflict with the Flying Tiger Gang now. Looking at Zhao Hu, who was a little embarrassed, Zhao Zhong immediately knew that he wanted to use troops against the Flying Tiger Gang, and couldn't help but remind, lest he fall into the fate of being belligerent and bound to die.

"Alright! Let's go meet the messenger of the Flying Tiger Gang and see what his intentions are in Zhaojiabao. Seeing that Zhao Zhong repeatedly asked himself to meet the envoy of the Flying Tiger Gang, and that he didn't have the strength to argue with the Flying Tiger Gang now, he agreed.

"Han Lei, the envoy of the Flying Tiger Gang, has seen the castle master!" A thin young man in the hall bowed slightly to Zhao Hu who was sitting on the main seat and said loudly.

"What is the matter with the envoy coming to our Zhaojiabao? If we can help Zhaojiabao, we will try our best to help you! Zhao Hu, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at Han Lei, who was standing in the center of the hall, with a look of neither humility nor arrogance, and said lightly.

"Lord Huibao, this time Han Lei came to Zhaojiabao to borrow 100,000 loads of grain from Guibao on behalf of our Flying Tiger Gang, and he will return it twice when the grain harvest is harvested next year." Han Lei raised his head, looked at Zhao Hu with a flat gaze, and said loudly.

"100,000 quintals of grain? Are you kidding? We don't have so much grain in Zhaojiabao, and most of the grain in our Zhaojiabao was sold to Tianxian Island long before the rainstorm. Our current grain storage in Zhaojiabao is not even enough for us, where can we lend you 100,000 cars of the Flying Tiger Gang?

I think so! For the sake of our Zhaojiabao and your Flying Tiger Gang being neighbors, our Zhaojiabao will endure it and spare a hundred loads of grain to give it to your Flying Tiger Gang, how about it? As soon as he heard that the other lion opened his mouth to borrow 100,000 carts of grain, Zhao Hu hurriedly shook his head and refused.
