Lu Ming and Qianqian whispered, agreeing to live three lives, when you and I were sweet, in the office of Beicheng, it was gloomy and bleak, and everyone was depressed, and they were arrogant to evacuate Nancheng without a curtain.

The leaders of Beicheng, led by Jia Liang and Shangguan Que, were all worried, as if there was a big mountain pressing on the hearts of the people, and it was so heavy that people couldn't breathe.

"You all know the situation, right? The deputy city lord Shangguan Que took the lead in opening his mouth.

As the de facto manager of Beicheng, Shangguan Que has a terrible headache, after a big battle, the strength of Anyang City has been greatly damaged, and he is no longer able to confront the alien race head-on, at least they are like this in Beicheng.

The defeat in that battle not only caused the master to be completely damaged, but also disrupted all the development plans that were originally deployed.

Among them, the most important grain storage plan was the most seriously damaged. Lin Qingyu, who suffered a loss, had already begun to vigorously restore agricultural production when Anyang City was first built. According to the original plan, Anyang City's food self-sufficiency was more than enough.

It's a pity that the people's wishes were not fulfilled, and the original situation of fighting against the court, because of the defeat in the First World War, fell into a situation of being completely beaten.

The alien race besieged the city and fought the human race did not dare to take the lead, and the grain originally planted outside the city was not kept by the alien race with kindness, and the destroyed one was clean.

Now Anyang City only relies on the hundreds of acres of land in the city, which is not enough to feed the hundreds of thousands of people in Beicheng.

With the consumption of these dozens, hundreds of thousands of mouths are waiting there to eat, even if they have already begun to withhold some spare food, one meal at a time to ensure that they do not starve to death, but the food has already bottomed out.

The food in the vicinity has long been scraped, and the alien races in the farther places are rampant, and it is useless to go there to get food.

In the past ten years, the world has changed dramatically. Except for the area that has been artificially managed, the rest of the area has been turned into a forest. Aside from the ruins, which tell people that it was once part of the city, there is no trace of what it used to be.

Five years ago, they began to hunt in the woods, gathering berries for food and increasing their food sources.

However, their strength is limited, except for Jia Liang's strength that has reached the silver level, they are all bronze level, and the number of people is less than a thousand, so it is only a drop in the bucket when such a little combat power can be obtained.

"How about the plant powerhouses?" Looking at the silent high-level leaders, Shangguan Que directly gave up the idea of asking for advice like them.

A woman with long hair that had turned into green vines stood up, she was Minister Nangong Lin.

"After these few years of constant familiarization, derivation, its own abilities, to give birth to various crops, now each ability can barely feed 50 people with a ripe food, and there are a total of 47 related abilities in agriculture. ”

The truth is that each Ability, if they try their best, can double their production. But the result of this is that everyone will be tired like a dead dog, and they will not have any extra energy to cultivate, which will affect the improvement of their strength.

In this era of doomsday strength is everything, there is now Lu Ming guarding the safety at the door. As a minister, how could Nangong Ling sacrifice the strength of her subordinates in exchange for three meals and clothing.

This democratic management, although the power is also concentrated in the hands of individual people. However, the decision-makers of various departments and teams are equal, and even if there is a shortage of officials, they can only be asked to go so far, and they cannot be ordered at all.

As a result, everyone has formed a faction, their own team, and on the surface everyone is united, but in fact they have their own ideas and plans.

The only thing they have in common is that they prioritize their own interests and the interests of the group.

This is why Zhuge Liang proposed to restore the imperial system, even if there is no imperial system, there will only be Lu Ming's voice on the general policy of Anyang City. However, in private, this phenomenon of selfishness and selfishness can never be eradicated.

And Zhuge Liang knows how he came to this world, and there will be no fewer colleagues like this in the future. Let this group of people be equal and fair to Lu Ming, if there are more people in the future and then have a democratic election or something, it will definitely be the way to get rid of chaos. It is better to determine the status of Lu Ming's monarch from the beginning, and save time and effort.

"Where's the convoy?"

Shangguan Que, as an old politician, he understands Nangong Ling's thoughts very clearly. For such a report to have a result, he is already within the scope of his acceptability, so he doesn't have much. looked back at the captain of the guard, Liu Xing, hoping that on his side, he could have a satisfactory result.

"Deputy City Lord, the Guardians need support here. ”

As soon as Liu Xing opened his mouth, the audience was in an uproar, not only did he not solve the problem, but he also asked for help as soon as he opened his mouth.

You must know that the escort team is composed of all the combat members of Beicheng, and if they ask for help, it will mean that Beicheng's combat strength is completely ruined, especially during the critical period when they need to provide food, and the atmosphere of uneasiness permeates the audience.

"What's going on?" Shangguan Que's eyes jumped, and those who were familiar with him knew that this was the rhythm at which he wanted to get angry.

"Now we have three teams of 600 heat, and the three teams take turns to be stationed, hunting and resting. Although each of these dozen or so has a small amount of energy crystals harvested, after deducting the energy crystals of the rewarded combatants, there are very few energy crystals that can fill the inventory, and the number of combat teams has not only not increased, but also decreased by dozens of them. ”

"These five we are constantly hunting foreign beasts in the forest, fighting with foreign spies, and every enemy is strengthening, and the number of people who are injured and killed is increasing. ”

"But just like this, every time we come back with the prey, the people still have the same expression that we will come back after we have eaten, and the warriors have already shown strong dissatisfaction, deputy city lord, you have to be the master for us!"

Liu Xing was on his feet, this rough man who was one meter nine and close to two meters actually cried, as for how much truth he had in his heart, it was not enough to be outside.

"What about the Ministry of People's Livelihood?" Shangguan Que pressed down on the anger that was about to erupt and turned his head to look at his old subordinate, hoping that he could bring good news to himself.

"The chief's side of the people is generally relatively stable, and all kinds of convenience facilities and technology are also steadily recovering, Zheng is only a few farmers because of the lack of relief grain, there are some farmers who steal crops from the south, and even steal the land near the southern dividing line. ”

The more Feng Shigao spoke, the more he knew how demoralizing it was to come out now. But if not, he will be unlucky in the south in the future, so even if he is criticized, he will come out.

"Slap ......" Shangguan Que's cup of tea was dropped by him, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, looking at this old subordinate with hatred, and squeezed out word by word, "What's going on in the south?"

"They have sent people to spread the word, and now it is useless for them to ask for this land, and they can rent it to us. But...... But ......"

"But what? "Watching the old subordinates do nothing, it's just forget it, and he doesn't have any responsibility at all, Shangguan Que is very disappointed in him. He was already thinking about who would take his place.

"They want to collect rent...... "Looking at everyone present like idiots, he was not annoyed when he looked at his colleagues, and continued, "They don't want gold and silver, they don't want food, they want people." A month per acre, ten slaves, and no bargaining. ”

Feng Shigao finished this sentence in an almost angry manner, looking at the stunned crowd. I suddenly felt quite relieved.

"Slave ...... The Great Demon King Lu is no longer satisfied with the imperial system, and he has actually reverted to slavery?"

"This man is really crazy!"

"Population is the source of the greatest pressure on our food, is it ......"

Hearing that Nancheng actually wanted to give the missing slaves himself and give them as rent, the audience instantly boiled.

In the end, because he was looking for Lu Ming to work hard to grab the tens of thousands of energy crystals he had on hand, he still agreed to this condition, solved his own crisis, and steadily developed his own strength in order to plan for the future. It's noisy.

Shangguan Que abandoned both methods, but seeing that they thought they were some good idea, they were arguing, and he leaned back in his chair weakly.

In my mind, Zhuge Liang on the upper floor of the city that day, who was confident and talked and laughed freely, "Is all this already in your expectation?"
