War can be profitable, such as "using Schizum's sword as Misen's plough to win land."

But on the other hand, it is also possible to lose money across the board.

Knocked to the doorstep by the enemy, Luo Ming was destined to lose a lot of food, lose more than half of his business income for a long time, and definitely kill many people.

Although Luo Ming also thought a little about whether to let Aya, the "goddess of cleansing", give an oracle that forbids offending the Meiquan Collar, but doing so will result in a bigger loss.

While many already know that he is related to the Goddess of Cleansing, most believe that it is just a collaboration.

If the goddess of cleanliness jumps out as a guarantee, firstly, it will expose the close relationship between the two, and secondly, it will make the "goddess of cleanliness", who has always kept a low profile, the center of attention.

Besides, the people of Beran really don't have to be afraid of a demigod - daring to invade the Duchy of Lothar proves that they are not even afraid of the goddess of springs, maybe their god is behind it.

In short, this trick cannot be used until the critical moment when life is at stake.

Fortunately, now the coalition army is here to stop the Belan army for a day, and now Schönbrunn is rushing to harvest, and has also collected a batch of grain, grass and manpower from many nobles, enriching the volume and accumulation, which can support it for a longer time.

Luo Ming can be regarded as ruthless - if this can't be sustained, it will be a big deal to carry out a large-scale production campaign in the base area, mobilize military and civilian forces to open up wasteland in the mountains, pick fruits, raise fish, hunt, and also survive.

At the same time, the rationing system was also opened, and the walls were cleared, and all the grain that could not be harvested in the county of Van Xi was burned, and all the houses were demolished.

Winters in Vanshee County are not bitterly cold, but they are certainly not warm. When winter comes, all these damned Berans must be starved to graze and peel the bark of trees, and then freeze thousands of them to death in the wind and snow!

Of course, the people of Belan are not stupid, and if they anticipate such prospects, they will definitely try to do something to change the status quo, but Luo Ming can also take the opportunity to thwart.

It's easier to destroy than to build, isn't it?

Although he was now packing up the retreat, Luo Ming's mind had drifted farther away-

How to further weaken and exhaust the forces of Beran's army, and how to reduce the losses in this war and increase the benefits that you can grab.

Generally speaking, only by surviving the war can you get war dividends, such as further embezzling other people's territories through war and chaos, or coercing other nobles to submit and join the alliance.

However, Luo Ming is not a person who likes to follow the rules and follow common sense, and he is secretly thinking at the moment - is there any way to grab more benefits in this war?

Anyone can think of such a thing as cleaning the battlefield and touching corpses, but are there any other channels for profit?

Luo Ming was thinking about this, Pelodiana walked to the side, and seeing his contemplative appearance, she didn't bother for the time being, but directly took out a notebook and began to write down her opinions.

Speaking of which, Luo Ming is actually still wary when thinking about things, but Pelodiana didn't get close at all, so he ignored her.

After Luo Ming thought about it for a while, he came back to his senses and found that Pelodiana was holding a notebook in her hand and was standing aside and pondering.

Without disturbing the young scholar's musings, he used the swordsman's control over his body and quietly left as he wrote down his thoughts in his notebook.

After another ten minutes, Pelodiana came to her senses.

She scribbled a few lines on the next page of her notebook, summarizing the question she was thinking about for a moment, and then flipped back to the previous page, which contained the warning she had intended to give to Romin.

With the notes she made not long ago, she reorganized her thoughts, and when she was about to speak, she didn't see Luo Ming's figure, looked left and right, and found that Luo Ming was talking and laughing with others almost fifty meters away, so angry that she almost gritted one or two teeth.

Ariana looked at her like this, a little strange, but immediately pretended not to see anything, and walked over.

"Pelo, if you want to say anything, it doesn't hurt to tell me first, that guy is talking about business with someone, and it may be a few dozen gold coins when he moves his mouth, don't bother him for the time being. ”

is also a girl, although the relationship between Yaliana and her is not very close, but at least it is a relationship that can chat together, and at this moment I directly called her nickname.

Pelodiana didn't care what she was called, but listening to her words, she suddenly felt a little strange, and asked, "You call him 'that guy'?

As if she felt that what she said was not complete, she added: "I know that you are the patron of the goddess, and if it were not for the need to maintain a cooperative relationship, your status would definitely not be lower than such a viscount." But since you're now his courtier, you still have to have daily respect, right?"

"Haha, that's what you say. Aryanna noticed that she was slipping a little, and she hid it with laughter, and at the same time quickly found an excuse, "I have a good relationship with him, and he rescued me from the slave traders." Anyway, it's not in public, and it doesn't damage his majesty, so I can naturally call it whatever I want. ”

Then, she looked at Pelodiana seriously and said: "Luo Ming is actually a person who has no fight, although he has a family background, he will not deliberately take his figure, usually it doesn't matter if you or I laugh and scold him, if you are too respectful to him, it will make him uncomfortable."

However, what you did just now, Pelo, is still wrong, you have to distinguish between public and private. ”

"That is, in public, his dignity must be maintained?" said Pelodiana, confused.

"That's pretty much what it means. Ariana smiled, "You've been with us at Schönbrunn for more than a year, and I think you've adapted well, so you know we're in a good place." ”

"Hmm. Pelodiana nodded.

Although she was defeated by Luo Ming and forced to surrender, she was even sold to the Goddess of Cleanliness by the bloody hands of the Great Mentor, which made her a little resentful.

When she first defrauded, she also considered a poisonous plan - she herself has a certain amount of research on hormones, and is ready to create a large number of hormones and find an opportunity for Luo Ming to ingest.

Since hormones themselves are natural products of the human body, no anomalies can be detected with any spell.

But an overdose of hormones will cause a series of abnormal reactions in the human body itself, crazy hair, or suspicious, or easily angry - in short, she is ready to finally let Luo Ming lose control of his emotions, kill many people by mistake, and finally have to fall into the evil way.

Attracting such a talent as Luo Ming for the evil way can be regarded as a great achievement for her, and if she goes back to join the Bloody Hand Great Mentor again with such a feat, she will definitely get a high reward.

But now her resentment is almost gone, and this poisonous plan has been completely shelved.
