"Xiao Jiu, are you okay?" Even Long Sifeng was stunned.

"Brother Jiu, you don't have a fever, do you?" Mi Bao'er, who was sitting next to Lao Jiu, reached out directly and touched Lao Jiu's forehead.

"Smack, do you think I look like I have a fever?" Lao Jiu slapped Mi Baoer's hand, rolled his eyes and said.

"Brother Jiu, don't you know how to settle this kind of account?" Zhu Erpang was also very puzzled and said, "With the current price of grain, 50 billion gold coins are enough to buy more than 200 million tons of grain, and based on the food consumption of the Easy Empire, how can it be eaten for three years." ”

"Can't you just wait for me to finish?" Lao Jiu was speechless and said, "The land must be planted, and this 50 billion is not just farming." Judging from our current territory, such a large planting of seeds alone could feed a small empire. ”

"Taking advantage of the current relationship between us and the major empires, I am going to have a Ming Xiu Plank Road to secretly Chen Cang. While we are vigorously cultivating the land, we are secretly contacting the major empires and taking the opportunity to hoard grain under the pretext of purchasing grain seeds. ”

"Judging from the current situation, after the end of next year, there will definitely be big changes in the game. The system will not allow the empires to continue to develop in this way, because then the meaning of the game will be lost. ”

"So I estimate that after the end of next year at the latest, a full-scale war in the game may break out. And when that time really comes, it is estimated that the major empires will restrict grain exports, and grain will become the most important strategic resource. ”

"And the 50 billion I am talking about, in addition to being used to reclaim land and grow grain, is to secretly purchase the grain of the major empires, and buy as much as possible before the major empires react."

"It's just calm in the game, and the war can't come so quickly, right?" Yu Shengxiang said with a frown.

"That's right, judging from the current development, it seems that there will be no war in the next few years!" Baili Piaoxue also said puzzled.

"On what basis do you conclude that after next year there will be a full-scale war?" Long Sifeng looked at Lao Jiu and said, "It can't be a feeling, right?" ”

"I said it was my own intuition, do you believe it?" Lao Jiu spread his hands and said.

"Can you be serious? It's really like this money was given away by someone else! Baili Piaoxue was speechless, and glanced at Lao Jiu.

"I mean, really, I have a hunch that maybe after the end of next year, there will be an all-out war in the game." Lao Jiu put away his smile, then looked at the women and said seriously, "Think about it, what is our empire currently lacking the most?" ”

"We have the most advanced technology, and there is no shortage of funds now, and the 10 million troops are all above level 70, and what we lack most now is food. The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first, and if there is no food, everything is empty. ”

"So our main task at the moment is to hoard a lot of food. With the opening of the Runemaster Academy, the major empires will definitely realize the importance of amethyst and colored copper, and we can also make a fuss about it, such as replacing it with equivalent grain. ”

"Okay, but I'll tell you something, we don't have as much liquidity as you think." Baili Piaoxue looked at Lao Jiu and said, "The reconstruction of the Xiaoyao Empire, the defense construction of Baqi Island, the construction of the City of Peace, the recruitment and training of recruits, etc., don't you need any money?" ”

"Do you know how much money we've spent in the past six months? That's more than 200 billion gold coins! You say it's easy for me to keep an account. And the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the military salary will be paid in the next two days, don't think about 50 billion, it would be good to be able to come up with 20 billion. ”

"Uh...... This gold coin is spending a little fast! Lao Jiu said speechlessly.

"What do you mean by flowers a little fast? You don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and this is still the premise that we have our own free coins, and the little gold coins you get are not enough to rebuild the free empire! Baili Piaoxue rolled her eyes and said.

"Okay, you can draw as much as you can, you and Sifeng cooperate with Erfat, and try to reserve more food for the empire." Lao Jiu could only say helplessly to the hundred miles of drifting snow.

"If you want to reclaim a lot of wasteland, you will have to recruit a large number of refugees next year, so as to fill the labor vacancies, and I will also communicate with the major empires about replacing amethyst and colored copper with grain." Long Sifeng thought for a moment and said.

"Uh-huh, I'll leave this matter to you." Lao Jiu said and turned his gaze to Yushengxiang, "Xiangxiang, although we don't have a conflict with HX at the moment, we still have to make preparations. ”

"In this way, our newly trained soldiers will be assigned to guard the border with HX. Like the North Dragon Pass, Teng Snake Valley, the North and South Boundary River, the East China Sea coast and so on. These recruits are also under fifty levels, and they don't pose any threat to HX, so they shouldn't care at the moment. ”

"But at present, Beilong Pass and Teng Snake Valley are all guarded by the HX army, and it is estimated that they will not be able to let them out." Yu Shengxiang said with a frown.

"It doesn't matter if you don't let it, our main purpose is to train our troops, and then let all the empires watch. Let them think that after this crisis, the military strength of the Easy Empire is almost seriously insufficient, and all that can be taken out are some new soldiers, so that they can't figure out our reality. ”

Lao Jiu looked at her and said, "The soldier is treacherous! As for the true number of armies of the major empires, who can know except the major empires themselves? Until the critical moment, no empire will show its hole cards, and we must also learn to hide appropriately. ”

"Well, I understand what you mean. Just let our main force go to sea, so that all the empires can't find out our strength, and we can also concentrate on opening up the sea resources. Yu Shengxiang said.

"That's what it means!" Lao Jiu said, and then looked at Midu Dao, "Little belly, it's up to you over there in Australia, now that the City of Peace is under construction, I hope you can organize the player forces and march to the south of Qinchuan through the City of Peace, paving the way for our future conquests." ”

"Will you try again?" Looking at Lao Jiu with a cheap face, Mi Du gritted his teeth and said.

"Uh...... That's used to it, don't you feel that the little belly is very kind? Looking at Midu's murderous eyes, Lao Jiu said with some embarrassment.

"I feel that the capital of Kunpeng is very good, you better go to Qinchuan by yourself." Mi Du turned his head directly and didn't even look at Lao Jiu.

"That...... Little sister, am I wrong? Lao Jiu said with an aggrieved face, "Give some face, just help!" ”

"Not available!" Mido said very dryly.

"Forehead ......"

"Poof......

Seeing Lao Jiu deflated, all the women couldn't help laughing. Lao Jiu usually has a little skin, but now that he has provoked Midu, he won't give him face at all.

"Shhh...... If you are in the skin, can't you discuss the right thing properly? Mi Baoer pinched Lao Jiu's waist fiercely, and Lao Jiu only smoked cold air in pain.

"I'll go, my body protection will not work!" Lao Jiu grinned while rubbing his waist with his hands, looking at his funny appearance, which provoked all the women to be more than embarrassed.

"As far as I know, the HX side has also sent a large number of troops into Qinchuan, and the capital of peace will be discovered sooner or later, so you are not afraid of conflicts between the two sides?" Mi Du looked at Lao Jiu at this time and said.

"There must be contradictions, so we have to start first!" Lao Jiu said as a matter of course, "Wanli Qinchuan is originally a no-man's land, and whoever occupies it will already belong to whom, so our Australian army can plan our territory one step ahead through the teleportation array of the Peace Capital." ”

"When the HX army really goes deep and finds that the good places are occupied by us, can they still snatch it openly? What's more, the Qinchuan River is not suitable for large-scale operations, and there are too many restrictions on warfare. ”

"So what we need to develop now is to use casual players to occupy territory. For such a treasure land, I believe that those scattered people are not willing to give it up, if HX wants to come hard, the first thing they need to face is the majority of casual players. ”

"What we really need to do is to protect the interests of casual players. Maybe Wanli Qinchuan can use it well, and it can still attract a large number of players to join our Easy Empire, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

"That's okay, the development of Wanli Qinchuan will be handed over to me, with the cooperation of the forty thieves and Du Jingtao, I believe we can occupy most of the area of Wanli Qinchuan." Mido said confidently.

"Mm-hmm, that's good." Lao Jiu said and looked at Mi Bao'er beside him and said, "Bao'er, you also know the importance of the Teng Snake Ore Vein, and when the players stay in the Peace Capital in large numbers, you must do a good job of keeping the ore veins secret." ”

"Don't worry, I know the severity of the matter." Mi Bao'er said, "Now that the entire entrance to the ore vein is hidden, coupled with Yi Xuzi's methods, it is difficult for even those who know the ore to discover the ore vein below the Peace City, and we can completely mine it secretly." ”

"I'm still relieved of you, so that's it, after the New Year, we will implement it according to the plan." Lao Jiu looked at everyone and said, "Erfat is responsible for the transformation of cultivated land, and then let Xue'er and Sifeng cooperate with the grain purchase." ”

Xiangxiang is fully responsible for the training of recruits and the layout of recruits. Ruyu is also responsible for the construction of the Xiaoyao Empire and the creation of the City of Peace. Bao'er used the Runemaster Academy to reserve equipment for the empire. The task of Qinchuan, Australia, was given full authority to Midu. ”

"Having said all that, are you ready to be a shopkeeper?" Long Sifeng looked at Lao Jiu dissatisfiedly and said.

"How is it possible, I have a lot of things, and they are all big things!" Lao Jiu said with some exaggeration, "A master like me, of course, is going to challenge Super BOOS and enhance the empire's heritage." ”

"Do you have a goal again?" Mi Bao'er's eyes lit up, staring at Lao Jiu and asked. The other women also looked at him in amazement.
