277 Preparation 1
The wealth of Peishui people shocked Hou Wen and Shi Meng, although they had been to Dawangcheng several times, they had never seen such a shocking scene, this was clearly playing with gold mountains on the street.
Both of them knew that Liuhuo was rich, but they would never have imagined that even the people of Peishui were so rich, and after standing on the long street for only half an hour, it was estimated that more than 100,000 gold coins poured into Liuhuo's pocket.
Two guys who have never seen the world until they were dragged into the mansion by the fire, and they were still stupid there. The three of them sat down firmly in the flower hall in the back garden, and Hou Wen said with emotion.
"Damn, I'm also a rich person, but after watching your Dawang City, I suddenly feel like a poor bastard, and the people who rushed to lend you money are blocked half of the street... I'm afraid you'll have to collect a million gold coins when you come down this day..."
After Hou Wen finished speaking, Liuhuo smiled, "Haha, you calculated it according to the population of our Peishui." Do you think that one gold coin per person for a million people is a million gold coins..."
"To tell you the truth, in just two days, I have raised nearly 5 million gold coins from IOUs, and this is just the beginning, I estimate that within four or five days, the trend of buying IOUs will gradually fade, and I will be able to raise 20 million gold coins at that time..."
"Peishui people have developed with peace of mind for ten years, and I didn't have an accurate amount of wealth accumulated by the people before, but after this time, I have found out the bottom line..."
Liuhuo was very emotional and very proud. That's right, any man who can create such a big career on a barren land has the capital to be proud and proud.
Shi Meng was very envious of Liuhuo, and he sometimes wondered, how could Liuhuo have a complete set of civil and political skills, was it just because he had such an excellent civil official as Daydream? But it didn't look like it.
Could it be that Liuhuo is a rare all-rounder in civil and military affairs?
In fact, there are a lot of people who think this way in the Creation Gate, and at first people regarded Flowing Fire as a freak, and they were very puzzled by his obsession with the mortal world. But then the situation gradually changed, Peishui made the management of the flowing fire more and more prosperous, and there was also a treasure against the sky like black iron equipment, and the power of the flowing fire was no longer something that could be ridiculed by others.
Since then, Liuhuo has faintly had the nickname of 'master of civil and political affairs'.
Is Flowing Fire really a genius? Actually, no, Flowing Fire is just a person with a heart, he is willing to deal with mortals, he is willing to learn, and he will treat mortals as equals from the bottom of his heart.
It is this kind of egalitarianism that has recruited a large number of civil and military elites, and even secular mysterious forces like half two gold.
Just when the awakened were scolding Flowing Fire as a freak, Flowing Fire had already inserted its roots deep into the people.
Well, now is the season of the fire, and the abundant Peishui has mobilized all the wealth, which has become molten iron in the blast furnace and armor in the warehouse.
The barns have long been full of military rations, and now there are countless caravans on the official roads of the Chu State to continuously transport military rations and various military supplies.
Torches and wind lamps are necessary for the night, and double-decker cowhide tents are also necessary, and it is estimated that the war will start this winter, and the single-story tent will not be able to accommodate people.
The forage and concentrate for the war horse, the spare saddle and shoes, and even the towel for the war horse to wipe the sweat must be prepared.
Everything needs money, and the Shi family and the Hou family can't provide anything except soldiers and some basic combat equipment, and everything has to rely on the support of flowing fire.
The three of them had already drunk four or five pots of herbal tea in the garden, and the myriad preparations gave the three of them a headache. The strength of the Shi family and the Hou family was seriously damaged in the battle of Cangmeng City at the beginning of the year, and now the family can only make up 20,000 elites without injuries, and the flowing fire cannot bring all 50,000 soldiers to the battlefield.
The Shi family has 20,000, the Hou family has 20,000, plus the 40,000 army that Liuhuo is ready to use, this is 80,000 elite forces that can fight.
Not only the soldiers, but also the Liuhuo family has to provide at least about 20,000 people, and these people who are responsible for transportation and construction are also indispensable key factors in the war, and the morale and combat effectiveness of the army also need their support.
Hou Wen and Shi Meng got more and more headaches, "Liuhuo, you slow down, we are also people with veteran soldiers, of course I know that what you said makes sense, but our two families really don't have so many material reserves now, and we don't even have much cash..."
"I really can't do it, I can only use the magic weapon to mortgage with you..."
Hou Wen was complaining, of course Liuhuo could hear it, and he also knew that Hou Wen was joking.
"You two don't have to complain, I can still afford the cost of 40,000 soldiers, so you can put your heart in your stomach... Oh, by the way, when will Uncle Shi and Uncle Hou come over, my master has been waiting for them for a long time..."
Shi Meng took over and said, "My father estimates that it will take more than ten days, and Uncle Hou is afraid that he will not be able to come, now Master Tongxuan is short of manpower, and now Uncle Hou is really inseparable..."
Shi Meng was right, just when the Great King City was in full swing to prepare for the war, in the distant Zhongzhou Mountains, the atmosphere was already solemn to the extreme.
The current Creation Gate is already in a situation where no one is in charge, and no one has anyone to worry about other affairs except for the relevant departments that build the Yuan Qi Great Array.
Master Tongxuan has been the acting chief elder for ten years, and he is already tired of it, and he has long been tired of it. Now Master Tongxuan has stockpiled the last batch of magic weapons of the Yuan Qi Great Array, and they are now stored on the construction site. Every day from morning to night, Tongxuan and Hou Tianhang eat and live here, guarding the hope of the future of the Creation Gate.
At this time, the Yuan Qi Great Array had basically taken shape, and the white circular platform was completely composed of white marble and alabaster, and most of them had been capped. Viewed from the halfway point of the mountain, the circular platform looks like a cream cake with a small corner cut, and countless workers are working hard around the cut gap.
Master Tongxuan has been very emotional these days, and he often looks at the Yuan Qi array at the foot of the mountain and stays awake all night.
"Senior brother, can you believe it? A hundred years of hard work is actually going to be completed this year, and it looks like there should be no problem before the New Year..."
"The dreams of several generations are about to come true in our hands, and I suddenly feel that all our struggles are worthwhile..."
Hou Tianhang sighed and said, "Senior brother, let's still think about what will happen after the completion of the big array, the Yu family and the Li family will never give up, just with this little power in our hands, even if we add the power of the Flowing Fire and the Stone Family, I feel that it is very hanging..."
"Especially the Yu family, who has actually evaporated from the world out of thin air, who knew that they were staring at us there. Maybe the moment the Yuan Qi Great Array is built, it will be the time when the Jade Family will come out..."
Master Tongxuan gritted his back molars and said, "You don't have to worry, I have discussed it with Lao Liu if you are worried." Before the completion of the Yuan Qi Array, the army of flowing fire will definitely be able to pull out to the foot of Zhongzhou Mountain, and when the time comes, we will wait for work, and it will be up to us to see if the Yu family dares to come."
"Of course I know this plan, but senior brother, the Yuan Qi Great Array is built in the deep mountains, and there is no area where the army can be expanded, how can tens of thousands of troops come in? This is surrounded by mountains..."
Tong Xuan patted his junior brother on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, of course I have a clever plan, you look there..."
Hou Tianhang was dumbfounded at that time, "Xianrenling, is Senior Brother going to attack here?" Hou Tianhang never expected that Senior Brother's plan was really huge enough.
"You guessed right, I just want to collapse the Immortal Ridge and shake out a big road to the plain, at that time, the three of you can rush directly from the pass, although there is no shortage of great masters in the Yu family, but with Lao Liu and I in charge, I believe that it will definitely be able to deter them, and when tens of thousands of troops control the Yuan Qi array, the Yu family and the Li family can only retreat..."
"The rest is a matter of time, as long as we are given about half a year, the Yuan Qi Great Array can provide us with a steady stream of awakened people, and we will have countless talents. At that time, even if the Yu family and the Li family want to make trouble, they won't have that ability..."
"In a few years, the balance of strength between us and the Yu family will be reversed, and then they will no longer be able to control the future of the Creation Sect. At that time, Lao Liu will reopen the castle of Babel, we can finally go home, and we can finally live like our ancestors a hundred years ago..."
"Peaceful and quiet practice, a peaceful and stable life, no struggle for power, and no disturbance from mortals. The children will never learn badly again, and we can finally draw a line with those lowly mortals..."
Master Tongxuan is already a little crazy, and he is now mired in a vision of a better future. I didn't hear Hou Tianhang's whispered questioning at all.
"Immortal Ridge is a mountain more than 200 meters high, how can you collapse it easily?"
"Besides, is the Yu family really that easy to deal with? Could it be that the name of the first family of the Yu family in a hundred years was blown out?"
"Don't forget that there is also Li Xiao, now that the Li family's killer feature has been exposed, do you really think that the lava giant will not appear?"
Hou Tianhang questioned in a low voice, but Master Tongxuan was already in excitement and couldn't listen to it at all.
While the two were talking, a waiter who had served for many years beside Master Tongxuan was holding a teapot and respectfully waiting. His expression was very calm, but the waiter's heart had already blossomed.
"Damn, the old thing still has this hand, it actually wants to collapse the Immortal Ridge, and it actually wants to blow up a big road out? What a madman, no, I have to report it to my parents early..."
Thinking of this, the waiter whispered to Master Tongxuan, "Master, the tea is already cold, I'll go and change a pot for you..."
Under the unconscious wave of Master Tongxuan's hand, the waiter quickly disappeared into the night, and soon disappeared.
