Shenbang.

Senate.

Today's protagonist is not the patriarch, but two justices quarreling.

"I repeat, changing grain to cotton is a trend, and the palace of greed can't change anything!"

Justice Grued stood up and paced back and forth in the room, shouting discontentedly.

After losing weight for more than half a year, with the medicine given by the man, Justice Grued is in better health than before.

After losing weight, he was able to spend more time and energy on his affairs, and was even able to get out of the palace of greed on his own.

And opposite Justice Grunt, sat Justice Grotney, who was in charge of the slash-and-sword temple, which was also a crime of gluttony.

Justice Grottney also has some changes.

He was not as thin as before, his face was flushed with ruddy, and he was on crutches, and retorted,

"If all the grain fields are taken to grow cotton, and the orcs come again, the grain of the Divine State will not be able to support three months!"

Cotton, after all, is ripe once a year, and it cannot be eaten directly.

In this era, food is absolutely the most important strategic material.

If cotton is planted on a large scale, there will be no shortage of food supply, after all, the slash-and-cut temple can be adjusted according to the market.

The grain reserves of the slash ploughing hall have always been abundant.

However, considering the orc attack, then the situation is completely different.

This year, due to the attack of the orcs, the harvest has been reduced a lot, and it is necessary to spend food reserves to survive the winter.

The pure grain is reduced, and cotton is planted in a large area, waiting for the orcs to come...

Shenbang directly turns on Purgatory Mode.

"Please, use your brains, don't be like those idiots!"

The fools in the mouth of Justice Greed are, of course, the senators.

Who stipulates that in the Senate you can't tell senatorial jokes?

Justice Groad said seriously,

"Historically, an orc has never gone south in two consecutive years!"

"You also said that it was history!"

Justice Grotney was-for-tat, and he didn't give in,

"Do you know how many people will die if you make a mistake?"

Experimentalism?

Justice Grotney does not accept this!

"It's 800 years old!"

Justice Gurred sweated angrily and poured a large mouthful of water.

No matter what he said, he couldn't convince the stubborn old man in front of him.

Without the consent of the slash-down temple, it is impossible to spread cotton on a large scale.

The Senate's view, of course, is on the side of Justice Grued.

They bought a large number of spinning machines from Luden, and naturally needed more cotton.

The working efficiency of these textile machines, as Lu Deng said, can save a lot of manpower and material resources!

After weaving, whether it is sold locally or shipped out by commercial routes, foreign trade, the profits are very high!

After the textile machine arrived, some people did try to imitate it, and soon found the problem.

The springs used in the textile machine, if produced by themselves, cannot guarantee the quality of the product at all, which will further affect the efficiency of the textile machine.

If you go directly to Ludon to buy springs, hundreds of meters of so... Add a little money, it's enough to buy a textile machine directly!

Why do you want to waste this?

It was quickly realized that imitation textile machines were not a good way out.

Therefore, they continued to buy a large number of textile machines from Ludon in preparation for the expansion of production.

Cotton is out of supply!

The fields in the countryside have been prepared to be replanted with cotton on a large scale, but they have never been able to bypass the hurdle of the slash and plough temple.

There is no clear jurisdictional relationship between the justices.

If Justice Grotney really refuses to let go, Justice Grunt can't do anything about him.

Moreover, Justice Grotney's reasons are also valid.

If the worst happens, the state of God will starve to death, a lot of people!

Justice Gurred was angry and rolled his eyes,

"Orc brains!"

He sat back in his seat in a huff, not wasting any more words.

Grottney sighed heavily, swept around with pity, and finally landed on Luden, the tribune,

"Mr. Ludon, I don't understand."

Grottney was blunt,

"You should know that my request is not excessive, as long as it takes a year to restore the food stock of the Slash Cultivation Hall to the level before the orcs came. At that time, you can grow cotton as you like, and I will never say a word, so why not even wait for a year? ”

Grotney knew very well that the person behind all this was none other than Mr. Luden.

"I completely agree with you, Justice Grotney."

Ludon corrected the other party rigorously,

"It makes no difference to me whether cotton is grain or grain.

Although I sell all the textile machines on the market, when selling textile machines, I also promise everyone that I will not get involved in the textile industry in the next year! ”

Ludon is not in a hurry, not at all.

On the contrary, it was the Holy Descendant Families, the wealthy merchants, and even the judges of the Slash Cultivation Hall who were in a hurry!

They saw the gold mine in front of them and wanted to reach out and touch it!

Grotney sighed again,

"You really haven't changed, it's them who have changed..."

Overnight, the textile machine seemed to have magical powers, making everyone extremely anxious, like... Mr. Ludon is the same!

That's right, everyone who is greedy has the shadow of Mr. Luden.

Damn, how did things get to be like this!

Justice Grottney gave his own bottom line,

"I won't agree to this if I don't solve the problem of the orcs."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the faces of the patriarchs, and they were even a little eager to try.

Compared to the justices, the senators are indeed on the disadvantaged side.

But

The patriarchs had a power.

When there is a disagreement between the justices, they can impeach a justice and put him to trial by a citizens' assembly!

Once a majority vote of no confidence is cast, then Justice Grotney will have to leave the slash-and-sword temple!

They can't solve the problems posed by Justice Grotney, but they can solve the people who raised them!

From ancient times to the present, it is a simpler and more convenient way to solve people.

Justice Grottney is also well aware.

His insistence, from his point of view, is for the sake of the Divine State.

In the eyes of others, it is in the way of their wealth!

Blocking people's money, such as killing parents.

He still understands this truth.

At this time, Justice Joph of the House of War stood up,

"The War Hall can guarantee that even if the orcs go south, we have a way to solve it."

He is no longer a deputy justice.

After the citizens' assembly, with the support of the tribune Luden, he succeeded in removing the word acting.

But

The price behind this is heavy.

He became Ponge's spokesperson, pulling marionettes and speaking out completely for Pong and other soldiers.

However, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the War Temple, and everyone is not too surprised.

The last Lord of War, Lord Jofer, had no say in front of Ponge.

"Promises don't work."

Grottney shook his head,

"Unless you can give me enough food, or more convincing evidence."

However, Grottney also wondered why Justice Joffer was so confident.

Who gave him self-confidence?

Justice Gurred closed his eyes, and after a moment of contemplation, he opened his eyes and said helplessly,

"Take him to see something like that."

Justice Groed liked this Grotney very much, and the restraint of gluttony was perfect.

It's been an old friend for many years, and if there is a different person, Gurred will be very distressed.

Hearing Justice Grued's words, Justice Jofer nodded in agreement.

In the end, Ludon nodded his head, agreeing to the suggestion.

Something like that?

A question mark appeared above Justice Grotney's head, not understanding what kind of medicine was being sold in the other party's gourd.

Under Luden's arrangement, several members of the Inquisition sent the three justices and tribunes into the carriage.

Each was also given a black belt to blindfold.

Several people sat in the carriage, and after a long silence, the carriage finally stopped.

"Everything you see next is the highest secret of the Divine State, and it must be kept secret!"

After repeated informing, the people of the Inquisition asked everyone to get out of the car.

Grottney was here for the first time, and he found himself outside the quarry, which was cratered and looked like countless meteorites had fallen.

He asked, confused,

"Here?"

"Don't ask."

Justice Joverer said helplessly,

"Asking is confidential!"

When he first came, he reacted exactly the same way as the other party.

"What is being demonstrated to you now is called artillery in the history of Qiyun."

For the appearance of this thing, Ludon is also very helpless.

Even if Ludon adjusts the production plan and slows down the mine, the steel production capacity is still overflowing!

Ludon had exhausted all means, and he even began to try to replicate the steam engine!

In the end, Ludon found a home for the steels - artillery!

Is there anything better than a cannon for a carrier of steel?

Justice Gourd, you've chosen, idol!

The barrel of the cannon is steel, the turret is steel, and the shells are also steel ...

As for the formula of gunpowder, it was difficult for Luden.

Gun design?

Lu Deng had already done this kind of thing once in the Qiyun Kingdom, and he was familiar with it.

With the experience of the last time, he is even more skilled!

After the first cannon was produced, Ludon secretly invited the War Hall and the Greedy Palace to participate in the experiment.

It turns out that for carbon-based organisms, artillery is still a dimensionality reduction strike.

Even orcs can't resist cannonballs with orcs.

After introducing the artillery, Ludon raised his hands and blocked his ears with his fingers.

Justice Jover, Justice Grued did the same.

Justice Grottney was a little strange, why did he block it......

Boom –

After a loud bang, countless dust splattered up.

Justice Grotney felt like he had been hit with a hammer, ringing in his ears took over everything in his brain, and he was even a little unsteady on his feet.

After a few minutes, Justice Grotney stood up and looked at the stone field in front of him, his face full of disbelief.

"This, this, this..."

If every cannon had such power...

Orcs, what are you afraid of?

Got it, got it all!

Justice Grotney's eyes lit up with the same flame as Justice Gruntny.

Flame called greed.

...

On the second day,

The Slash and Bow Temple issued a new decree that allows farmers to convert their cultivated fields to cotton and allows direct tax payments on cotton.
