"Your Excellency, there is one more thing that cannot be decided." Liu Jidao.

"What's the matter?" Bai Ziyun asked.

"Since the great show of might, after repelling Xianbei Hulu, famous all over the world, the long stay Xianmen has become a martial arts holy land, all over the world heroes have rushed to study, now Zhuoxian gathered martial arts people have tens of thousands, people who practice martial arts are strong, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts, there have been many fights, we and other people who have caught fast and six doors have been arrested repeatedly to no effect, still fighting constantly, and even more gathered into gangs, attacking and killing each other, causing panic among the residents." Liu Ji said with some distress.

It seems that underworld gangs have appeared in Zhuoxian County. Bai Ziyun said with a smile: "This thing is easy to do, don't they like to fight?" Then they were given a place to fight, and they were only allowed to fight in the prescribed place, and if there were those who did not comply, they would be dealt with as bandits, and let the people of the White Horse and the righteous followers go to encircle and suppress them. ”

"Fighting place?" Liu Ji's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Well, this is good." ”

"Let's build a gladiatorial arena in the open space of Zhuoxian County, and let the two sides fight in the gladiatorial arena to resolve the conflict. Well, there are spectator seats set up on the side of the gladiatorial arena, so that people can go to watch, and they can also collect tickets, and even hold a gambling industry to bet on which side will win to make a profit. ”

"Huh?" Liu Ji was stunned for a while, and couldn't react to Bai Ziyun's jumping thinking for a while. "Your Excellency, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, we can't advocate gambling in the Xianmen."

"It's an entertainment gambling industry that presses who wins, and it doesn't hurt." Bai Ziyun thought for a while and said with a smile: "This method is very popular in the Roman Empire in the Western Regions. Let's learn from it. I will draw a drawing of the gladiatorial arena and the relevant rules, and I will write a booklet. Liu Taishou. Let's take a closer look. ”

"No."

After Liu Ji left, Bai Ziyun immediately walked into the quiet room. I opened the light curtain of the game, and after a while, I found the relevant information of the Roman Colosseum and the later stadium, exchanged some, and after a cursory look, I took out a pen and paper and began to draw drawings.

His architectural drawings combine the advantages of the Roman Colosseum and the later stadiums, and can be said to be very complete. After that, the craftsmen of the construction team were recruited. After some discussion, we chose an address and started construction.

The gladiatorial arena was a brick and wood structure, and it was ordered by Bai Ziyun himself, and the natural process was very fast, and it was completed in less than a month.

So the residents of Zhuo County have another entertainment program, that is, they go to the gladiatorial arena to watch people duel, and then gamble to win or lose.

Both sides of the duel are martial arts people, and their martial arts are not bad. The fight scene was unusually exciting, which made the people of Zhuoxian County addicted, and the gladiatorial arena suddenly became hot, and the underground gladiatorial arena began to flourish. There is no order in the underground gladiatorial arena, and the fights are often very bloody and often fatal. But it satisfies some people's preferences.

But by May, the residents of Zhuo County had no intention of looking at the gladiatorial arena. Because as the millet seedlings in the field gradually grow, various millet pests and diseases begin to increase.

In particular, locusts are gradually increasing. Jumping around in the fields, they are extremely arrogant and gnawing on the green leaves of millet seedlings.

In the face of this insect plague, the peasants have no good way, thinking that it is a disaster descended from heaven, and can only pray to the gods to atone for their sins, which is the common understanding of this era. Since the plague of locusts was sent down by the gods, then the locusts are the spirits of the gods, and mortals cannot kill them, but can only drive them away and not harm them.

After Bai Ziyun knew, he asked the disciples of the Xianmen to release his words, saying that the gods love mortals and will not send disasters to mortals for no reason, and now that the locusts are raging, it must be the Son of Heaven who has no virtue to let the people of Li Shou suffer disasters, as long as mortals believe in the Lord, they will naturally be protected by the Lord, and killing locusts will not be punished by the gods. Believe in the Honor, locusts are no longer a disaster, but a cloud of food.

Bai Ziyun issued an announcement to buy locusts at a high price, saying that they were used to cultivate immortal methods, this locust is the spirit of heaven and earth, containing rich essence of heaven and earth.

Soon, the people of Zhuojun became Bai Ziyun's followers, and they were convinced of this, and began to think of ways to catch locusts. I have food at home, and I have taken it out to sell. Suddenly, a vigorous anti-insect plague was carried out in Youzhou.

At present, Bai Ziyun has not yet been able to make pesticides for later generations, but he has come up with many primitive methods, such as using the phototropic nature of insects to make bonfires in the fields and keep them all night to kill insects.

Since the larvae of locusts are active underground and eat the roots of millet seedlings, Bai Ziyun let the chickens and ducks raised by the villagers put them in the field. This is also thanks to the large number of martial artists gathered in Zhuo County, and a large amount of meat is needed for cultivation in ordinary times, in order to supply the needs of Zhuo County, almost every household in Zhuo County raises a large number of chickens and ducks. This will finally come in handy for these chickens and ducks, and after entering the field, they will kill all sides and peck at a large number of larvae.

After more than ten days, the locusts that would have been flooded gradually decreased.

The villagers who witnessed all this saw that a lot of locusts were eliminated, and no disasters came, it seemed that their family was really protected by respect, and they suddenly became much more pious to Bai Ziyun, and Bai Ziyun's image improved again.

Several counties near Zhuo County have Bai Ziyun's protection, and other places are not so lucky.

In the sixth year of Xiping, in the summer and May, there was a great drought in the world, and the locusts in the seven states were plagued, and the grains were not harvested, and the people were displaced.

In late May, there were refugees at the border of Youzhou, and in June, the number of refugees gradually increased, and in late June, the people of Jizhou and Qingzhou fled in large numbers, fled to the land of Youzhou, entered Zhuo County, and prayed for the rescue of Xianmen. This time, the number of people was amazing, there were more than 400,000 people, but in just one month, they used up 100,000 stone of grain in Xianmen, and even Bai Ziyun, who had abundant food, was heartbroken. However, this time, he rescued the disaster in time and received a large amount of merit points, which made him excited.

Bai Ziyun dragged all these refugees to the construction of the new city, and exchanged them for food through labor. It not only reassures the refugees, but also facilitates the control of Xianmen.

After the refugees work, they can get food stamps, use food stamps in exchange for food, because the food stamps are beautifully made, gradually this kind of food stamps are commonly used in various shops in Zhuo County, and after the shops get the food stamps, they can go to Xianmen to exchange five baht money, so it has become a virtuous circle. Gradually, this food stamp has a new name called fairy money, fairy coin.

After Bai Ziyun understood the situation, he simply established a money bank, which could exchange fairy money and five-baht money, and then marked the fairy money with a large anti-counterfeiting mark. After two years of development, the prestige of Xianmen is very high, and most of the people are very relieved to use Xianqian.

In this way, for the first time in the world, there was a paper money economy.

Due to the excessive consumption of grain, Bai Ziyun purchased grain and grass from all directions, and the food in Dahan was insufficient, so he set his sights on foreign countries, such as Dongyi and South Korea, where there was a lot of grain and grass.

The reason why there were frequent food crises in ancient China was not only due to natural disasters, but also because the yield per mu of fields was insufficient. Bai Ziyun established the Agricultural Academy, which was responsible for agricultural affairs, and improving farmland yield was their key responsibility.

Late July.

On this day, Bai Ziyun was sorting out agricultural materials in the study, and the house slave came to report, and the Korean envoy asked to see him.

After a long while, Bai Ziyun remembered that this Chen Korea is one of the ethnic tribes in the south of the Korean Peninsula, and it is called Sanhan together with Ma Han and Ben Han, which is located in the east of Ma Han.

Bai Ziyun entered the main hall and met with the envoy of Chen Han, who was a delicate young man with a light of wisdom in his eyes. He speaks Chinese fluently, which is not surprising, and most of the current Korean region is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and most of the nobles of the family speak Chinese.

"Mortal Fu Lin greets His Excellency." The young man bowed and saluted.

"I don't know why your envoy met this seat?" Bai Ziyun said bluntly.

Fu Lin smiled slightly and said, "Naturally, I came to do business with the Venerable." ”

"Oh? What to buy and sell? Bai Ziyun looked at Fu Lin amusedly, what good things can be in a small pimple place like South Korea.

"What is the most lacking thing now?" Fu Lin was confident.

"Huh? Do you have plenty of food in Korea? Bai Ziyun looked at Fu Lin in surprise, after all, Chen Korea is only a small and remote country, how much grain can be produced.

Fu Lin said with a smile: "Chen Korea is poor in minerals and horses are scarce, but the climate is warm and humid, the wind and rain are smooth, and the rice yield is very large. ”

"Haha." Bai Ziyun laughed, "What nonsense are you bragging, it's just the country of bhikshus, the land of projectiles, even if the annual harvest is good, how much grain can be produced?" ”

Seeing that he despised his family so much, Fu Lin was annoyed in his heart, his face was flushed, and he shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate for Your Excellency to say this, my Chen Korea is naturally not as good as the blessings of the Han Dynasty, but although my country is small, the blessings can be compared with the counties of the Han Dynasty." The king of my family sent me down, but I didn't come here to blow the atmosphere. ”

Bai Ziyun was slightly stunned, he did despise the other party too much, mainly because the Republic of Korea in the later generations was really good at blowing, and he had a very bad impression, although this Chen Korea is estimated to have nothing to do with the Republic of the later generations, but who let them just sit in the same place.

"What do you want to trade with me for grain?"

Fu Lin straightened up slightly, and said, "The king of my family wants to exchange 300,000 stone grain and grass for one hundred outer disciples of the Immortal Sect. ”

"A hundred outer disciples? You're really playing as you wish. Bai Ziyun's face was full of mockery, and he shook his head and said, "Don't change!" ”

In his heart, he thought that this Chen Han was really blessed, and he could easily take out thirty stones of grain and grass, and this ability could be compared with the great family of the Central Plains.

Fu Lin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to refuse completely straightforwardly, he thought of many possibilities when he came, but he didn't expect to be rejected so quickly, he couldn't react for a while, just looked at Bai Ziyun in a daze.

"Your Excellency, then, how do you want to change it?" Fu Lin said with a slight stammer. (To be continued......)
