Xue Ren stood in front of a gate leading to the underground space, looking at the stone piers on both sides, "Why didn't I find out that there was such a place in the imperial city before. ”

"Your Majesty" The guard in charge of guarding the underground grain depot saw Xue Ren coming here and hurriedly ran out, "We didn't know Your Majesty was coming"

"I'm not here for you. Xue Ren looked inside, "Xiang Xiang is inside?"

"Yes, Lord Aizo is counting the grain reserves. ”

"Take me to meet him" Xue Ren walked straight in, and a passage to the underground with fluorescent gems embedded in the wall appeared in front of him.

Shan Shogun followed behind him, looking up and looking around at this place, it was not the first time he had been here, and he had to come here at least five times a year to check on Nara when he was still alive.

But no matter how many times I watched it, I thought it was too incredible. You must know that these walls are inlaid with fluorite, and just by looking at the brightness of the light, you can see that these stones are from the Glacier Lake tribe.

"It shouldn't have been easy to get these fluorites back then. Xue Ren thought in his heart, although the Ice Lake Tribes were rich in these high-quality fluorite stones, they regarded these stones as gifts from the gods, and ordinary outsiders, no matter how prominent his status was outside, as long as he was not qualified, he would never get the gems.

The jewel on his carriage was given to him by the elders of the Ice Lake tribe when he followed his father to the Ice Lake tribe to worship the ancient gods.

"King Xinghua, the prayer of your heart will be fulfilled in the hands of this new king. I remember the elder saying that.

"Could it be that my resurrection is related to the ancient gods that I worshipped back then?" Xue Ren wondered in his heart, but he also remembered that the girl behind the elder was already a warrior of the Ice Lake tribe back then.

"I remember ......"

"You'll meet him someday," Guna's voice sounded good, as if it had the magic of making people sleep, "let him go"

"Her name should be Guna," Xue Ren recalled, when she first met Guna, she was close to her ear. The unique fragrance of the girl's body made his young heart throb a little, but he didn't understand it at first.

"But who is he talking about?" Xue Ren was a little strange, "Could it be Boro?"

However, when you think about it, it seems impossible, and although Boro's whereabouts are unknown, he still feels that Boro is his trusted friend.

"Perhaps, I haven't met that person yet. Xue Ren said to himself.

"Your Majesty" the guard pointed ahead, where a group of civilian officials was gathering to discuss something.

"Thank you"

Xue Ren's thanks made the two of them panic, "This is the honor of the subordinates...... Since Your Majesty has nothing else to tell us, we will go back first. ”

"Hmm," Xue Ren nodded, turned to General Shan behind him, and said, "Go back, you send someone to deliver a letter to the Ice Lake Clan for me, and I will go to meet their elders soon." Hopefully the connective alliance will be formed"

"Obedience"

Xue Ren stepped forward, and the civilian officials who were discussing business did not notice until Xue Ren approached.

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't know that Your Majesty is coming......"

Xue Ren waved his hand indifferently, "You still have a lot to do?"

"The food in the granary has been counted, and all that remains is to calculate exactly how long this food can last if it is used to sustain the army. "After all, Your Majesty's point is not just to this land. ”

Xue Ren laughed, "Well, it's still thoughtful." ”

The others just looked at each other, not blanking the meaning of their words. Or maybe they're thinking it's something else

"Go on, come with me. Xue Ren held the map in his hand and beckoned, "Shan will also be together." ”

"Your Majesty has something important to order?" Xiang Zuo looked at General Shan

"I don't know," although Shan Jiang did not speak, the look on his face and body movements showed what he meant.

"You'll find out in a moment, after all, this plan may be too naïve for you...... No, maybe it's crazy for most people. Although Xue Ren said this, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth

"Your Majesty's ambition, how can ordinary people understand, otherwise what will become of the king? Xiang Zuo bowed his head, and asked Your Majesty to forgive me for my previous words. ”

"Don't get in the way, but just because you say the wrong thing, you will send a sin on people. This is nothing but the depravity of those in power, and the Yanyang that I want to establish has a certain degree of freedom of speech. Of course only to a certain extent."

Xue Ren led the two to a corner of a grain depot where no one was there, and flattened the map in his hand on the ground.

"This is ......" Xiang Zhi just guessed Xue Ren's inner thoughts after just looking at it.

But Shan Jiang didn't understand at all, he didn't understand what those line segments on the map were. Because that thing doesn't look like an offensive line by any means.

"Your Majesty......" hesitated for a moment, "I have to say that this plan of yours is a little crazy~"

"Really?" Xue Ren smirked, "Then let me ask you, are you sure you can finish him." ”

"It's just that with our current national strength, it may take a lot of time to accomplish such a feat. And it's already spring, and there is news from Nancheng District that this year's temperature seems to be much warmer than usual. Xiang Zuo looked at Xue Ren

"We also need to deploy most of our forces to defend against the impending threat. ”

"So, I also decided to expand the number of corps. The number of troops in the capital is now 350,000, and I will expand the army to 1 million by the end of next year."

Xue Ren stared at the two of them, "You ...... What do you want to say?"

"One, one million ......" alone could not think of how large an army of one million people could be. "But where did these people's rations come from? Now the population of the capital is only 1.2 million......

"It's not just the people of the capital," Xue Ren laughed, "but also those remnants who were once expelled and lived outside, he will also become our new strength." ”

"But Your Majesty...... How long will it last if all the food in the treasury is used?" If you don't agree with this plan, if you don't do it, the newly founded Yanyang will start to collapse from its foundation due to overpopulation.

"So we want to expand production, and General Yu Qiu's experience is the best proof of this. Humans have the power to defeat the herd, as long as our strength is strong enough. Besides, Nancheng didn't say it, the temperature has begun to warm, and this year's food will definitely be more abundant than in previous years. ”

Xue Ren stared at Xiang Zuo, "All the food in the treasury is transferred to you, but it can only be used for road construction projects." As for the other sources of food needed in the capital, I will solve it. ”

"Then I wonder when His Majesty plans to start the plan?"

"When, of course, now," Xue Ren stood up and looked down at the two of them firmly, "Xiang Xiang is in charge of the construction of the passage between the cities, and I will inform you of the general in the city to expand the corps, and not to make it shoddy because the number is too large." The examination of joining the army must be strictly screened at all levels, understand?"

"Understand ......" Xiang Zhi and Shan Jiang glanced at each other

"We both have a lot of work on our shoulders. ”

"I'm going to get you food!"

"The burden on Your Majesty's shoulders is heavier!"
