When the sloppy old man returned to the Yahai camp, it was already late, and he didn't salute when he saw Liu Qingshan, Gu Pu hurriedly signaled to Ni Shuishui with his eyes, but Ni Shuishui not only didn't appreciate it, but also said to him, "You don't need to remind him!" I know that he is Xiaoshanshan, the chief of this place! After saying that, he went back to his kennel-like cave.

Liu Qingshan didn't call everyone to follow, and after sending Liu Shan and Su Ping away, he followed alone.

In Ni Shuishui's cave, Liu Qingshan is under the dim star stone, hammering Ni Shuishui's back for a while, and rubbing his legs for Ni Shuishui, those who know know that it is Liu Qingshan, the leader of Hongshan, who is busy, and it is Ni Shuishui, a sloppy old man, who enjoys happiness, and those who don't know must think that this is the grandfather and grandson.

In this way, the two of them chatted with each other with each other, and the conversation was one night.

On the second morning, Hongshan woke up in a thin morning mist, and Liu Shan, Sikong Changchang, Tie Yulan, Gu Pu, Zhan Mao and other generals had already led the battalion and started training in all corners of Hongshan.

Liu Qingshan walked out of Ni Shushui's cave, stretched his waist, and yawned. The cave resounded with the thunderous snoring of Ni Shui.

Back in the camp of the Chinese army, I simply washed up.

The all-night long conversation with Ni Shushui made Liu Qingshan feel a lot. Judging from Ni Shushui, there will soon be a big food shortage in Huang Yao and the Northern Continent.

The invasion of Huang Yao by Blue Horse and Shengdu directly or indirectly destroyed the existing production order in the Northern Continent.

Because of the war, large areas of land were barren, vegetation was trampled into grass and ashes by war horses, and not only food production was rapidly reduced, but also animal husbandry was greatly affected.

War is like a high-speed devouring machine that devours resources, and a large number of horses die in the war, being slaughtered and disintegrated into food for armies and wild beasts.

The collision of armies and armies inevitably destroys everything around. The large quantities of food burned during the rout, the trees cut down during the charge, and the artificial changes to the environment in order to achieve a certain battle terrain、、、

A large number of producers died in the war, including ordinary people, artisans, and even the top of the trade.

Some refined iron, medicines, elemental magic crystals, and all other materials used in the war are consumed at an unprecedented rate, and when this consumption is several times greater than the original supply, the price of goods will rise.

Greed is the nature of human beings, but also one of the most primitive driving forces of commerce, those businessmen or landlords with a keen sense of smell, will never let go of this opportunity to get rich overnight, they will use the wealth and power in their hands, a large number of hoarding food, salt, fine iron and other social shortage materials.

In order to prevent more people from starving to death in the war, the country can only issue more money, and the speed of additional currency issuance can never keep up with the speed of soaring prices, so there is inflation.

Imagine that when people are trapped in the desert, what they need is not money to buy and sell food, but food to survive. If the production system has been destroyed, and it is difficult to meet this consumption demand in the short term, then food and other universal goods will become hot in the hands of their owners, and the greedy nature of human beings will be vividly revealed in the later stages of previous wars.

Human greed is almost proportional to the rate at which goods are soaring, and this phenomenon will continue for a long time, until one side of the human or the war itself is controlled to the current level of production, and inflation will gradually come down.

Just as the officers and soldiers of Hongshan were busy eating breakfast, the camp of the Hongshan Central Army sounded the order for the whole army to assemble.

On the military field, Liu Qingshan stood on the high platform, looked at the various battalions that came one after another, and nodded with satisfaction.

The current Hongshan Army is no longer the Luoshui garrison at this time last year, and in terms of the number of people alone, it has almost doubled, nearly 20,000 people, and the huge exercise ground is full.

Straighten up the uniform, "Ahem! Uh-huh! Clearing his throat and making a quiet gesture to the black army in the audience, Liu Shan and Su Ping asked their subordinates to be busy installing the amplification stone, and took a amplification stone in their hands, "Brothers!" ”

"Brothers!" The same echo resounded in the military arena.

The soldiers of the various camps on the exercise ground began to quiet down, Liu Qingshan stopped, and continued to say, "Brothers! Let me tell you the truth, our current food stock is only enough for us to eat for three months,"

"Coax!" There was a little commotion in the audience, Liu Qingshan pressed his hands and continued, "As far as I know, the empire's current military food reserves will not be too rich. Be quiet! Be quiet! I am not saying this to scare everyone, but I just want to tell you that in this common era when that fool can defeat the elite imperial army of the Blue Horse, anything can happen."

"Coax!" The audience burst into laughter! Sikong was also said to laugh, and pointed at Liu Qingshan on the stage.

"What should we do if one day, the Empire does cut its salaries?" Liu Qingshan gave the audience a scrutiny.

"How so? Didn't the empire just order a batch of ordnance some time ago? 100,000 loads of military rations were also promised、、、、"

"Didn't the Dragon Guard also order an ordnance of 4 million gold coins?"

"Aren't we just being directly subordinate to the Military Aircraft Division by the Empire in the first-level battle sequence?"

There are all kinds of questions in the audience, and it is a bit noisy.

Liu Qingshan pressed his hands again, signaled quiet, looked at the venue that gradually quieted down, and then said, "This is just an idea, it may not really come that far!" As soon as the conversation changed, he raised his voice, "However, as the old saying goes, people must have near-term worries if they have no foresight!" ”。

The audience didn't know if he heard it, he lowered his head and clasped his fingers, Xie Yuanhui pushed the hair that was sitting in front of him, and saw the hair turn his head and give Xie Yuanhui, who was standing, a big white eye.

Liu Qingshan on the stage, "Now, the Blue Horse people have erected a red wall at the mouth of the Luohe River, the war between the enemy and us has come to an end for the time being, and we have Huang Biao's army behind us, and there is less fighting, but I will not let you be idle, there are no people in Hongshan who eat dry rice!" Do you hear that? ”

"Heard-got it!" The generals in the audience led the soldiers to echo.

"Listen to me! From now on, whether the soldiers or generals in the camp, each person will cultivate one acre of land in order to prevent trouble, and those who break the order will be punished with a monthly salary, and those who abide by the order will be rewarded with a monthly salary! 10 silver coins will be rewarded when the seedlings grow in the field, and 20 silver coins will be rewarded when the grain is harvested in the field! The specific battalion commanders can ask Yuwentong for detailed rules, do you understand? ”

"Clear-white-it!"

In the next few days, the various battalions of the Hongshan Army were busy cultivating fields, and if you want to say who is the most popular in Hongshan now, it is not the craftsmen of DreamWorks, not the hunting team of Hongshan New Village, not the craftsmanship of building villages, but these honest croppers.

No matter how good your harvest is for an acre of land, the reward of 30 silver coins is not counting the additional monthly salary! Even if you grow silver, you may not have such an income, you must know that no matter how good Huang Yao is, the harvest in a year will not exceed 1 silver coin.

For a time, the officers and men of all battalions rushed to the homes of peasant households in Xincun, some asked for technical advice, some hired trustees to reclaim land, and some exchanged and bought and sold seeds.

Ni Shushui's suggestion to Liu Qingshan is to spend the accumulated wealth as quickly as possible, exchange it for farmland, and replace it with the foundation pillar of Hongshan that will not fall for thousands of years.

Just when people were busy with how to open up the fields and reclaim the land, at night, Liu Qingshan quietly left Hongshan with a letter from Ni Shushui.

The entourage included Su Ping, Dongmen Xue, Wu Xiaoman, Feng Zhanyun and 50 Hongshan soldiers.
