Chapter 48: Back to Flower Town
After coming out of the slave market, Jiang Hao came to the grain market and bought wheat for five hundred gold coins.
He had wanted to buy more, but the storage rings were so big that he couldn't buy too much.
Five hundred gold coins of wheat is already enough.
Because it is the season of grain harvest, the price of grain is actually not high.
But that's not a good thing, especially for those farmers.
Jiang Hao also heard that this year's harvest was definitely not good because of the summer drought.
There is a high probability that there are more displaced people today than before.
Once the displaced people are generated, there are basically only three ways to follow.
The first is starvation to death, and there is no food to be found.
The other is those young and middle-aged people who fall into the grass and become thieves who dominate one side.
The peasants are the most disgusted with thieves, but when they are about to starve to death, they become the people they once hated the most.
The last one is to find a territory that can accommodate them and live well.
For the population, Jiang Hao is needed, and it can even be said that it is in short supply.
A large area of land in Flower Town has not yet been cultivated, and these are all things that need to be cultivated.
Now there is a place in Flower Town, the land is fertile, but it has still not been reclaimed, because there are many demonic beasts entrenched there.
As the strength of Flower Town gradually declined, those demonic beasts had already begun to move.
In the autumn of the previous year, it was the attack on Flower Town, which resulted in many casualties.
But because they were afraid that the kingdom army would exterminate them, they didn't dare to be too arrogant.
After killing some people, they once again escaped into their territory.
And some time ago, Jiang Hao received a message that those demonic beasts seemed to want to invade on a large scale this year.
Because of this, the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the territory has become an urgent matter.
Not only to resist the attacks of those demonic beasts, but also to completely eradicate them.
If this sword of Damocles hanging over the head is not eliminated for a day, then the territory will not be able to develop at a high speed for a day.
After coming out of the slave market, Jiang Hao still wandered around Moonlight City for a while.
When he met the market on the road, Jiang Hao also bought two pieces of jewelry and clothes for Vivian.
Vivien was already very interested in those beautiful clothes of human beings, and the fact that they were sold to her by Jiang Hao made her even more happy.
Holding two pieces of jewelry along the way is also a special joy.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Hao was not ready to continue to stay in Moonlight City.
Take advantage of the night to make your way back to Flower Town tomorrow.
Because there is no communication equipment, Jiang Hao is also a little worried about the situation in Flower Town.
Since becoming the lord of Flower Town, it has become the norm to work so hard.
At the gate of the city, more than 30 soldiers in coarse linen clothes were already waiting outside.
The soldiers were also disguised by the slave traders, and looked like ordinary traders.
The slave trade in soldiers, which in itself belonged to a gray industry in the slave trade, was naturally very careful.
It can be seen that the interest of these soldiers is quite good, after all, they have finally escaped from the cage.
And the head of the regiment has also recovered a lot at this moment, at least he can walk on his own.
After Jiang Hao saw the head of the group, he stepped forward with a smile: "Head Marcos, looking at your body, it should be a lot better." ”
When the middle-aged head heard this, he smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, sir." ”
It can be seen that Marcos is the kind of person who is not good at words, and he is not particularly good at communicating.
And Jiang Hao didn't say much: "You get in the carriage first and have a good rest." ”
Before leaving, Jiang Hao also bought another carriage, which was for Marcos.
When Marcos heard this, he seemed a little flattered: "My lord, this is not good. ”
"Now that they have joined our territory, they are all people in our territory, if ordinary soldiers have not recovered yet, they can also get into the carriage."
Jiang Hao said, and looked at the other soldiers.
Although these soldiers had also been injured before, they looked at their good health.
After coming out of that place, their mental outlook was no longer the same.
And the soldiers waved their hands again and again, and put their regimental commander on the carriage.
Jiang Hao didn't continue to delay here, but set off immediately.
Now they are like a small caravan, but they are not so conspicuous.
Along the way, Jiang Hao chatted with Marcos without a match.
Although Marcos is not particularly talkative, Jiang Hao also got a lot of news from his mouth.
The most important of them should be General York.
Jiang Hao had suspected that this York general might have some connection with Yorktown.
But from Marcos's mouth, he knew that General York had come out of Yorktown and was the elder brother of the Lord of Yorktown.
As for General York's cooperation with those robbers, in fact, it can't be considered news in the middle and upper echelons of the army.
It was precisely because he insisted on suppressing bandits that he was assassinated by General York.
Hearing these words, Jiang Hao became even more angry in his heart, and at the same time he also had a sense of crisis.
He felt that he should be able to fight this General York in the future.
The two enemies he met some time ago also have something to do with him.
However, Jiang Hao didn't worry too much, after all, he didn't worry about it, only by making himself strong enough could he make the enemy fearful.
More than a day passed quickly, and by the early morning, they finally saw the face of Flower Town.
When those soldiers saw Flower Town, their eyes were full of loss.
At the beginning, they were soldiers galloping and fighting on the battlefield, but they never thought that now they are just succumbing to such a small city.
It's not that they dislike it, but they feel that in this place, they may not be able to resist the demonic beasts and defend the kingdom for the rest of their lives.
After seeing Jiang Hao's carriage returning, many townspeople also welcomed him.
When Marcos saw this scene, he felt more at ease with Jiang Hao.
To be able to get the support of these townspeople already shows that he is a good lord.
As soon as Jiang Hao got out of the car, Old Corey rushed over with a team of guards.
"My lord, two magicians have just arrived, saying that they are looking for Miss Vivien, and they are now waiting in the castle."
Hearing this, Jiang Hao looked at Vivian with some confusion.
But at this moment, Vivian's expression seemed to have become a little uneasy.
"If I'm right, it's my family."
Vivien's face was already a little pale, and she didn't want to go back.
Jiang Hao was naturally overjoyed by Vivian: "Then you can also return home, isn't it a good thing?" ”
