According to the current number of believers, it will take more than ten days to create the salt fruit tree, and then it will definitely use magic magic: savage growth, so Liu Dalu wants to create the salt fruit tree after half a month.

Half a month is not a long time, and Liu Dalu can afford to wait.

After telling Iron Horse, although it was five days longer than expected, Iron Horse also said that it didn't matter, and it would save a little bit in the next few days.

Three days later, Zhao Bao resigned from the Dragon King, he went to Mingfeng County, ready to spread the prestige of the Dragon King, before leaving, Liu Dalu told him to contact more with the merchants, and told the merchants that there are a large number of grapes in Qingping County that are about to ripen, and it is best to persuade some merchants to come to Qingping County to do business.

As for Zhao Bao's information, of course it has been sent back, Liu Dalu is looking forward to what the Shi family will do, whether to fight or surrender or use other means? Then, Liu Dalu was also thinking about how to deal with it.

Now whether it is Qingping County or Tiejiabao, are in a state of tranquility, spring ploughing has passed, everyone now in addition to taking care of the situation in the field from time to time, the most important work during this time should be to dig ditches, but digging ditches can not be urgent, have to dig slowly, everyone is more enthusiastic about planting grapes, because planting vines is simple.

A large number of vines have been planted, which are extremely fast and adaptable, and it just so happens that two spring rains have made the grapes grow even faster, literally changing from day to day.

A small part of Tiejiabao is now covered in the greenery of the vines, many of which have climbed up to the roof along the shelves and have already bloomed.

The grape blossoms are very small, as big as rice grains, and they are light green, if you don't pay attention, you can't see them at all, but the grape blossoms are very fragrant, and the grapes of Tiejiabao bloom one by one, so that the whole Tiejiabao is filled with a sweet taste.

The grapes bloomed in less than two days, producing small fruits, and at this rate, the grapes could indeed ripen within a month.

Seeing a dozen or so small bunches of grapes hanging from each vine, and looking at the number of grapes in and out of the village, anyone can see that this year's grapes are definitely going to be abundant, and it will be a good harvest.

You must know that now the main trunks of the official roads in Tiejiabao and Qingping County have been paved for six or seven miles, and the roads have been paved a lot, and these roadsides are full of grapes, plus around Tiejiabao, how many grapes are there? Even if it is conservatively estimated, Tiejiabao alone can harvest tens of thousands of catties of grapes this year, and if you add the county seat, this number should have to double.

However, everyone doesn't know what the price of grapes is now, everyone has heard of this thing, but there are not many people who grow it, and there are more plants in the Central Plains, and most of them are used to make wine.

Iron Horse has nothing to do in the past few days and has been hanging around Liu Dalu, knocking on the price of grapes, probably thinking about what good things should be exchanged for grapes when they are sold in the future, but the Dragon King doesn't know it, so he ignores him, and Liu Dalu thinks about it, these grapes can't be sold for money, they have to be exchanged for practical materials such as livestock or farm tools.

The money of the Eastern Han Dynasty is completely a sinkhole, and it is about to be in trouble, and it is useless to ask for money.

.........

The weather in April was breezy and warm, blowing warm on people, but at this time, the Nanhai County Guard, Taishou Shiwu and a group of people under him did not feel this way.

Shiwu looked at the stack of detective reports in his hand with a heavy face, and every time he read one, his heart became heavy.

These reports were sent by spies from Qingping County, and the defense of Qingping County was indeed a sieve, and it was too easy to listen to the news.

After a long time, Shiwu raised his head, coughed slightly, and slowly spoke to everyone in the court: "Everyone, after reading this news, what should we do now?" ”

Gao Huan is a high-ranking military officer in Nanhai County, and his attitude is very resolute: "Lord Taishou, the snake demon is entrenched in Qingping County, cup/confuse the people, and vainly claim that all his people are under him, although there is only one county, it must be eradicated, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Shiwu looked at Xue Zong again, and Xue Zong said loudly: "Xiaguan dares to ask Lord Gao, the report said that the snake demon is ten zhang long and as thick as a pillar, and he is good at using a thousand-pound giant pillar, and can also use spells, how many sergeants are Gao going to send to kill?" ”

"Five thousand soldiers are enough."

"Gao Huan!!" Xue Zong suddenly shouted: "The art of war is cloudy, knowing the other side, can not be defeated in a hundred battles, in the face of a snake demon with unknown strength, Gao Huan, you dare to say that five thousand elite soldiers are enough, Xia Guan really doesn't know if you are confident or ignorant of Lord Gao, and it is clearly written in this exploration report, when those spies first saw the snake demon, they only felt two trembling forces, and their bodies were weak, and they felt that they were invincible, how did those elite soldiers in the tall population compare to these spies?" Could it be that they are all indomitable and dead soldiers? ”

Xue Zong paused, and then said to Shiwu: "Lord Taishou, the lower officials think that with such a huge physique of the snake demon, it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to have the courage to fight against it, so I hope that the adults will think twice about sending troops to kill them." ”

"My lord, Gao Huan is willing to personally lead the army to fight, and can make a military order, do not kill the snake demon, and the lower officials will come to see him." Gao Huan is not cowardly at all.

"My lord, although this snake demon doesn't know what the plot is, at least for now, it seems that the snake demon has no bad deeds, and it is definitely not a proper move to start a war..."

"No bad deeds? Qingping County is now full of people and the government does not exist, so that those Diao people only know the snake demon, do not know the court, do not know the Han Dynasty, this is what you Xue Zong said has no bad deeds? ”

"Okay..."Shiwu suddenly interrupted, covered his nose lightly, coughed a few times, his face turned red, and only after a few slowdowns did he say: "The proposal to send troops is very important, put it aside for the time being, Jingwen, in your opinion, what does the snake demon want to do?" ”

Xue Zong said: "According to the report, this snake demon is indeed not evil, the reason why Qingping County is like this has a lot to do with Wang Delun's abandonment of the city and fleeing, and now Qingping County is digging ditches, planting grapes, and the sacred object called cement, think about it, isn't this snake demon the same as what we and other officials did?" ”

"You mean the snake demon wants to be an official?"

"The snake demon once said that all the people under his rule are his people, so the lower officials really can't think of any other possibilities."

A snake demon wants to be an official? How do you think about this answer, how do you think it's ridiculous, but even ridiculous monsters have come out, so it doesn't seem unacceptable that the snake demon wants to be an official.

"Well, send someone to contact the snake demon and see what he thinks." Shiwu finally made a decision, it is impossible to fight, how many troops are there in Nanhai County? The total is less than 10,000, and in the face of a genuine monster, Shiwu does not think that it is a good idea to start a war rashly.

Since the snake demon can communicate, it must be based on communication first, and war is just the next step.
