"What happened?"

When the black round object stopped dripping, Jiang Liu slowly walked into the outer city along the passage of the city gate.

I finally understood what this black round object was, and suddenly it was the locust that covered the sky just now.

Watching Jiang Liu's goosebumps rise densely, he felt that his eyes had shifted.

"Haruko-chan, what's wrong with them?"

"Wait a minute, the city lord, wait for me to check and see."

Jiang Liu saw a silver needle appear on Xiao Haruko's hand in an instant, and with a flick of his fingers, the silver needle shot into a black circle, and then returned to his hand.

"Playing with needles?" Jiang Liu suddenly thought of a martial art: the Sunflower Treasure Book.

"Haruko, what are you practicing?"

"Back to the city lord, I practice the Sunflower Treasure Book."

"......" (, no wonder the speed is so fast, it's a pity, the dantian was abolished, otherwise he is definitely a master and a master. ）

"City Lord, they are all poisoned,"

"Poisoned ......"

Jiang Liu suddenly understood that in this Jiangzuo City, except for Miao Yixuan, who could poison this swarm of locusts that covered the sky and the sun with a wave of his hand, he didn't think about it as a second person.

At this moment, Jiang Liu was extremely fortunate to have such a beautiful and capable god in Jiangzuo City (Note (1)).

From a small point of view, today the locust swarm can be poisoned by Miao Yixuan with a snap of a finger, and tomorrow the other party's million-strong army will come to besiege Jiangzuo City, can it also be poisoned with a snap of a finger?

Even Jiang Liu, a strongman with a force of up to 100, didn't believe that he could bombard and kill a million troops, but with poison, Jiang Liu was a little convinced that he could do it.

"It seems that we should always pay attention to Miao Yixuan's loyalty, women are loyal and fickle, the bet in the middle is their own life, they can't afford it, and they can't gamble."

Jiang Liu closed his eyes and asked Koharuko to lead him back to the inner city.

Jiangzuo City is in danger, but Lingling County is not as lucky as Jiangzuo City.

Originally, Lingling County has many mountainous forests, and there are many secluded springs and lakes, which are endless, even if the drought is severe, it can keep the harvest of 23/10, but I didn't expect that the locust plague broke out when the autumn harvest was about to begin, and the locusts transited, and the red land was thousands of miles, and the particles were not harvested.

However, even so, the situation of Lingling County is much better than that of most counties in the Central Plains, because of the great drought, the crops in many counties have long been drought, but there are locusts in Lingling County that can be caught and eaten as extra food.

Compared with the dire situation outside, this locust plague is a big benefit for Jiang Zuocheng.

The locusts crossed, the red land was thousands of miles, the leaves of the trees were eaten clean, but the trunks and branches were still there, and many hidden poisonous insects and snakes in the mountains and forests had no homes.

Of course, the three important ministers of Jiangzuo City entered the inner city together and found Jiangliu.

"City Lord."

"How's it going?"

"The carcasses of the locusts were collected and cremated outside the city."

"Good job, look at your faces, but is there anything else?"

The three of them glanced at each other, and Robinson said loudly: "Many city residents say that this locust plague is only afraid that it will be widely implicated, and there will be no harvest in the places they have passed, so they ask to go back to their hometowns to see, and if their hometowns are affected, they hope to introduce their relatives to the city." ”

"This is a good thing for Jiang Zuocheng, hurry up and do it."

As long as they can live, the vast majority of villagers don't want to leave home, these people who left their hometown first and came to Jiangzuo City actually have deep feelings for their hometown, but their brains are not so rigid, and they have to wait until they are about to die to find a way out and run out first.

"Obey, just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that this locust plague will not only make the crops not harvested, but also the wild things in the mountains and forests will be difficult to survive, and I am afraid that most of the population of Zhongwu County will rush to Jiangzuo City, and the total population of Jiangzuo City is expected to exceed the 10,000 mark, and our food supply will not be able to keep up."

"Yes, city lord, although Zhongwu County has a vast area, it is a small county with a small population, less than 30,000 people, and it is really impossible to support one-third of the population of a county with the land of one city."

"City Lord, although the first season of rice this year is a bumper harvest, but because the planting area is not large, plus ten taxes and three fields, but 180 stone has been harvested, plus the 1,000 stone of grain brought back by the city lord, it is not easy to maintain the current scale of 3,000 people to the next year, and it is really unwise to double it."

The four words "unwise move" are also the words that Cheyenne will say.

Although the expressions are different, the three important ministers all mean the same thing: there is not enough food.

The food problem is indeed a fundamental issue that cannot be ignored.

"What do you guys think?"

Cheyenne was the first to speak: "Be open and honest, you can't do it, you can't do it." ”

Indeed, as long as the difficulties are clearly explained to the person who asks to return to the hometown, even if the heart is unwilling, it will not cause resentment.

Robinson nodded and agreed: "Master Xia's words are very reasonable, I hope the city lord will seriously consider it, if the city lord insists, we will also act according to orders." ”

What to do? Jiang Liu fell into deep thought.

If the population can skyrocket from 3,000 to tens of thousands, it will undoubtedly be a great leap, after all, people are the foundation of all development.

But food shortages are a very real problem, and once accepted, at least people must have something to eat.

It was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, Jiang Liu couldn't think of a way, and said: "Can't you think of any way to let Jiangzuo City absorb tens of thousands of people?" ”

The three of them shook their heads in unison.

"Koharuko, do you have anything you can do?"

"City Lord, Koharuko can't think of it."

After sweeping around, Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, who is the smartest person in Jiang Zuocheng? Needless to say, it's Conan!

Hurriedly communicated with Jiang Yunchang and asked him to call Conan into the inner city to discuss.

Soon, Conan entered the main hall.

"Conan meets the lord of the city."

"No need to be polite, it's like this......"

Jiang Liu quickly said the question, and said expectantly: "Conan, do you have any way to make Jiangzuo City feed tens of thousands of people?" ”

Conan fell into deep thought.

He still remembers the horror of the locust plague vividly, and he knows that a large number of people have been affected, and if he can't help, he is always a little uneasy.

Thoughts are flying, brains are racing rapidly, and Conan seems to have broken some kind of boundary at this moment, and his head flashes with a bright white light.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Liu hurriedly checked Conan's status.

Edogawa Conan (Kudo Shinichi), household registration: Ezojo; Occupation: Director of the Criminal Prison Division (transferable); Attributes:Commander:6,Brawn:3...... 60, Government: 41, Gambit: 80...... 90, charisma: 85; Loyalty: 100 (non-reducing). Skill: See through.
