"System announcement: Due to the infestation of locusts, the weather has been dry for a long time without rain, and the crop yield in Jizhou has been reduced by sixty percent! The game lasts for two years, and the majority of players in Jizhou are requested to take countermeasures to avoid losses......

"System announcement: Due to the epidemic of crop diseases and ineffective response measures, the crop yield in Yangzhou has been reduced by forty percent! The game lasts for two years, and the majority of players in Yangzhou are requested to take countermeasures to avoid losses............

After listening to the system announcement, thirteen in a row, Lin Sen immediately noticed the abnormality, this is a proper rhythm to cause a food shortage!

No state and county have been spared, and the grain harvest in various places has been reduced to varying degrees, the most serious is Qingzhou, with a reduction of eighty percent, followed by Liangzhou and Yanzhou, and the reduction in Jizhou's output is also very serious, and the grain production reduction in other states and counties is also hovering at four to sixty percent, and the duration is two years, how to survive!

The whole day has been seriously reduced in grain production, food prices are definitely about to be repeated, and most importantly, this is definitely a signal that turmoil is about to begin!

The Yellow Turban Rebellion is coming!

Sure enough, within a few days, the price of grain in Jingcheng County almost doubled, reaching 1,600 yuan a stone! And the price rise is still very strong!

Not only is the price more expensive, but the quantity is also less, and the grain stores in the city are often out of stock, and they can't buy it even if they have money!

A part of the land in Qingquan City is planted with a new crop of sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes have a strong drought resistance, I don't know if it will be affected, even if it is not affected, it will not harvest too much, it has not been fully promoted, this year's harvest is definitely going to reduce the yield, can not be avoided!

The Yellow Turban Rebellion has not yet broken out, but the battle between players is getting more and more intense!

Lin Sen was also a little caught off guard by this, although he had already explained that the city was going to hoard grain, but he didn't know the specific situation, and he felt uncomfortable, so he quickly found Lu Wen and asked: "If the disasters continue today, our grain production in Jizhou will be reduced by sixty percent for two years, how are our grain reserves in the city?" Is it enough? ”

"Don't worry, lord!" Lu Wen smiled and said: "Don't count the grain we produce ourselves, since the main bus generation has purchased a large amount of grain, the Chamber of Commerce has come forward to buy a large amount of grain in various places, and transported it to the city to be stored, now there are more than two million stones of grain hoarded in the city, vegetables, fish and meat are not counted, even if the grain harvest is not in place this year and next year, the lord does not have to worry about the food problem!" ”

More than two million stones, Lin Sen couldn't help but gasp when he heard this number, although he thought that there would definitely be no shortage of food, but he didn't expect so much!

The people in the two cities of Qingquan and Qingfeng not only eat grain at each meal, but also vegetables, fish and meat combinations, Lin Sen had noticed before, two hundred ordinary people can only consume one stone of grain a day!

What's more, in the past, the city lord's mansion only collected the surplus grain in the hands of the people, and the people in the two cities must have left sufficient grain reserves, and in a short period of time, there is no need to buy grain from the grain store, and the grain stored in the city can be used as military rations!

Lin Sen is relieved that he can continue to expand the army!

In the past few days, I went to the forum and found that it was full of articles about battles and annexations, and the most intense and frequent wars began between players and guilds around the country, no reason, no hatred, it was all for food, many player villages were encroached upon, and many small guilds were destroyed by large guilds.

Although Jizhou is rich, such incidents also occur frequently, several medium-sized and large guilds in Jizhou frequently fight for food, annexing more and more places around them, and countless small guilds that cannot be named are forced to move to the southern prefectures.

Even so, there is not much change, they have a large number of members, and they have to rapidly develop their own strength, especially military strength, forcing them to faintly have the intention of attacking system cities.

Xingyao's guilds also invited Lin Sen to fight together several times, but Lin Sen refused, he didn't want to participate in these battles, Lin Sen's idea was, if you want to fight, you can fight, fighting is only a way to cure the symptoms but not the root cause, no matter how much territory is laid, what is the use of getting more food, more land reclamation, planting food is the key, how much can be grabbed!

Lin Sen has always had contacts with the Blood Domain Dragon Court, and the two bosses of the Blood Domain Dragon Court, Er Mao and Li Wei, listened to Lin Sen's advice of elite soldiers, studied it carefully in the guild, and decided to follow the elite route like Lin Sen, cut a lot of soldiers, and instead devoted themselves to agriculture, animal husbandry and manufacturing, for which they achieved remarkable results.

The Blood Domain Dragon Court has two or three hundred thousand members, of course, most of them are ordinary members, if there are fifty soldiers per member on average, that is one or two million people, the actual situation is far more than this number!

Think about how much food and equipment such a large team needs, they are only ranked 20th, think about how many people will be further up the ranking, many guilds are miserable for this, but those guilds have the support of the consortium, and the pressure is much less!

The Blood Domain Dragon Court is different, everything has to be earned by yourself, and it is the first time to play this type of game, at first I thought that I could dominate the world with more soldiers, but after pulling up such a large team, I found that it was not the case at all, and the logistics required were too huge, so Ermao and Li Wei were worried about logistics all day long.

After Lin Sen's suggestion, the elite soldier policy was carried out, and the soldiers below the D-level qualification were reduced, leaving only the C-level and above, they did not have the same luck as Lin Sen, and there would be a large number of people with B-level or above qualifications, and the non-commissioned officers they left were mainly C-level qualifications, and the soldiers above the B-level level were basically centurions and thousand-sized officers, but in this way, the army was reduced by nearly 80 percent, and the people who were cut off were enriched into other work in the station, which not only reduced the consumption of food and equipment. There has also been a significant increase in the output of other resources.

In this way, every time the Blood Domain Dragon Court fights, it becomes more gains than losses, the army has so many fewer people, the equipment equipped with it has also been relatively improved, and the experience gained by the soldiers in battle has also increased a lot, and the level has naturally increased very quickly, and the combat effectiveness of the army has been greatly enhanced.

Ermao is responsible for commanding the battle, he was surprised to find that every battle is much easier than the original, originally relying on the number of people to pile up, pile up to a certain extent to break through the opponent's defense line, now the team is to form a sharp knife, directly cut the opponent's defense line, the army directly attacked and killed, and achieved victory!

Ermao also learned the fighting methods of ancient warfare in actual combat, and further improved his command and combat ability!

After a month, Li Lin came back, entered Qingquan City, and came to Lin Sen in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the City Lord's Mansion, he shouted loudly: "Benefactor, I'm back!" ”

Lin Sen heard the voice and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion: "You're back, hurry up and enter the house!" ”

"Don't call me a benefactor in the future, just call me Brother Lin, how about it, how is the harvest this time? Have all the ships been sold? ”

Li Lin sat down, took a sip of tea, and said: "It's all sold, Brother Lin, you don't know, the warship is so easy to sell, I just said in Jingzhou that there are medium-level warships for sale, and many people took the initiative to buy it, I sold ten ships to several forces, one is 600 yuan, well, this is the money for ten ships, for you!" ”

Lin Sen took the money excitedly, the excitement could not be described in words, sure enough, the higher the capital, the higher the profit, those people in the south are also really rich, so expensive are rushing to buy, you have to hurry up to manufacture, and to manufacture in large quantities, otherwise you won't be able to make such a big profit when it's too late!

I saw Li Lin take out a drawing from his bag with a smile and say as if offering a treasure: "Brother Lin, this is what I happened to buy in Jingzhou, you see, can you use it!" ”

Lin Sen took a look and jumped up excitedly, how can this be used, it is simply invincible!

High-level warship drawings, Lin Sen has not heard of anyone making high-level warships, and even if there are them, they are rewarded for happening to do tasks, and there are definitely very few players who can have master-level carpenters, and master-level carpenters are scarcer than other craftsmen!

What a drawing in his hand, but a mountain of gold! ……
