In the living room of the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Mang sat on the right, next to Wang Jingyan and Shangguan Ningxuan, and the one sitting on the left was Tianxuanzi.

After the four of them sat down, Tianxuanzi took the lead in asking, "Lord Wang, what is the significance of your move by stationing troops here to store grain?" Although the poor road can calculate some fortunes, it can't calculate the specific things about your outlier number. As for your current arrangement, the poor Dao Committee really feels a little strange. And you can only store grains and grains, but Poor Dao heard that you even have tender bark and grass roots. ”

Wang Mang's eyes darkened, and he sighed again and again, "The people take food as the sky, and I naturally store grain for the people." If I could, I certainly didn't want to bark on grass roots.

But in this era, productivity is low and agriculture is underdeveloped. In the absence of natural disasters, there is not much food left over from the food that the people grow in a year. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, where will it be enough?

Senior, you know all about me, and in my memory, there will probably be less than two years left, and there will be a huge natural disaster in Kyushu. There is hardly any place in this natural disaster that can be avoided. Even the Xiongnu side, the Dawan side and other places will be implicated.

This natural disaster is not just a drought or a flood, but a variety of disasters, accompanied by earthquakes and tsunamis, as if destroying the world. If I don't raise a lot of food, how many people will die when the natural disaster comes? I'm afraid at least half of them will die, right?

Maybe I have limited personal ability and can't save them all, but I think that if I can save one more, it will be one. The vast Gansu region has been much better than other places in the past two years, which is why I have stationed troops here. ”

"How could such a catastrophe befall you?" Tian Xuanzi was shocked, "Since you know about this, why don't you unite with other families?" ”

"Does the union work? Will they believe it? Wang Mang smiled bitterly: "Things haven't happened yet, they belong to the future." If I tell them that there will be a natural disaster in the future, it will be strange if they don't think I'm a fool.

Maybe they will even sabotage my food storage plan, say that I am deceptive, trying to plot against their territory, etc. In my opinion, such a union is not as good as not uniting, at least I can now do my best to store food, and there is no outsider to disturb me. ”

"There's some truth to what you're saying." Tian Xuanzi nodded and said, "People's hearts are terrifying, complex and changeable. According to you, it is true that more is better than less now. Poor Dao asks you, with the food you have hoarded so far, how long can you support the people of Kyushu? ”

"It is possible to ensure that the people of Kyushu will not starve to death within a month, of course, there is a premise for not starving to death, that is, they cannot eat, so they can only maintain a state of not starving to death. And this also includes the grain I used to accumulate in Liaoning.

So far, I've reached a series of collaborations with other countries to get them to grow food on a large scale. I thought that as long as I could ensure that the people would not starve to death too much in the future, it would be okay for me to put more effort into giving some cold military orders.

The Ji family is ready to move, stirring up disputes everywhere and grabbing territory. Although I want to lead the army to fight to the death with them earlier, sweep away the world's heroes, and restore peace to the people. But now I can't do that, I can't start a dispute, I can only watch those people suffer from the war.

Only after the natural disaster has completely passed, can I free up my hands to destroy those people, set the world, reform the imperial court, shape the pride of the people, and carry forward the Chinese fearless spirit. ”

"So that's how you arranged it." Tian Xuanzi said: "The Ji family has a strong foundation and extremely strong strength, even if it is poor, they don't dare to provoke easily." Now they are stirring up strife everywhere, and the people of Lali are in the water, and you have a lot of troops and strong fighting power, but you turn a blind eye and ignore them. At first, Poor Dao thought that you had changed your original intention and wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but Poor Dao was wrong. ”

"My predecessors have been very kind to me, I saved my concubine before, and then gave me a sword and an elixir, where do I dare to break my promise to my predecessors? If I hadn't had my predecessors, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

"Okay, now that this matter is clear, then the poor road will not ask any more." Tian Xuanzi said: "Just now, you were able to break through the mystery of immortality with the help of the Heaven Sealing Sword, this is your chance. For immortality, it is not only us who is struggling to seek, but ordinary people are also struggling to seek.

But for ordinary people, the first problem they solve is food and clothing. After solving the problem of food and clothing, they have the energy to think about immortality.

Of course, since you have comprehended a trace of the mystery of immortality, then the poor path will also talk to you about it. Originally, it was possible to cultivate into immortals in this world, but I don't know when it began, the heavens and the earth underwent great changes, and the aura was insufficient, resulting in no one being able to live forever, or no one could fly to the immortal realm. ”

Wang Mang was surprised and said: "Isn't it possible to rely on the people's willingness?" ”

"It's not that it's impossible, but it requires a lot of chance and coincidence. This coincidence and chance is basically impossible for most people.

Let's take you as an example, you have traveled from the future to the present, this coincidence is always small enough, right? Becoming an immortal is more than 10,000 times smaller than this coincidence.

As an outlier, you have the triple power of past, present, and future, and theoretically there is a slight chance to embark on the road to becoming an immortal, but it is estimated that it is unlikely. And in the current environment, if you want to embark on the road to becoming an immortal, you must carry a huge burden.

Judging from the current situation, only with the help of the people's will can there be a glimmer of opportunity, but how can the people's willingness be so easy to use? As you embark on this path, you must show the people the way. In other words, you have to take them together on the path of becoming immortals. If you can't do it, your will will collapse. The people of Kyushu are willing to support one person to strive for the road to become immortals, and this willingness will not support the white-eyed wolf.

To put it in layman's terms, even if you really embark on the road to becoming an immortal in the future, if you don't lead the people of Kyushu to the past, then your immortal road will be interrupted and fall short. ”

"There is such a saying!" Wang Mang stood up and bowed: "Thank you seniors for your advice." ”

Tian Xuanzi took out a bamboo slip from his arms and threw it to Wang Mang, and said lightly: "There are some things that I don't know whether it's true or not, and it also records the address of a place." If you're free here, you can go to that place and meet that person.

After meeting him, maybe he will give you a way to help you. I think that with his help, your chances will be one or two points greater. Of course, this method has no effect on the poor path, for him, because I am not an outlier, and I can't absorb more people's will, and I can't carry that burden. ”

"Yes, Senpai. The seniors have the grace of reinvention for the younger generations. If the younger generation really has such a 1 in 100 million chance, the younger generation will definitely repay the great kindness of the seniors. ”

"Poor Dao befriended different numbers, why wasn't it for Poor Dao himself? You first do your own thing well, and only after the fixed number is perfected, can you have the opportunity to find the path to becoming an immortal. If you abandon your original intention now to find the path to becoming an immortal, then you will never be able to succeed. Because when your mind is not complete, you can't use your wish power in cooperation with the Dharma. ”
