"My lord, we just encountered some special circumstances."

Old Corey walked up to Jiang Hao and whispered.

"What's the situation?"

Jiang Hao looked at Old Corey and asked with some confusion.

"In fact, there were quite a few displaced people who entered our town a few days ago, but in the last two days, there are almost none."

"So I took some guards to take a look, and then I realized that the roads around us had been barricaded, and those homeless people could no longer pass."

Old Corey frowned, and then told what had happened.

After hearing the news, Jiang Hao was slightly stunned.

Then he said: "All sides are blocked? ”

"Hmm."

Old Corey nodded: "I went to investigate, and the people who blocked it were actually people from the four surrounding towns." ”

"Not even the outcasts, even some small caravans, were stopped by them."

Hearing the news, Jiang Hao didn't feel much surprised.

After he eliminated the Moonlight Bandit Alliance, he had already guessed that this kind of thing was happening.

By the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?

What's more, he's still a tiger!

The lords of the surrounding towns were a little weak about this matter itself.

After all, what they did before, they also know in their hearts.

In the past, when Jiang Hao's strength was weak, most people still owed Jiang Hao something with the idea.

But after Jiang Hao's strength increased, the thoughts of these people had directly changed from debt to fear.

They are afraid of Jiang Hao's appearance, a threat to themselves, and they are afraid of being annexed.

And Jiang Hao did have this idea.

"Looks like the other side wants to start a war with us."

This news did not make Jiang Hao feel a trace of fear, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Some time ago, you should have done everything to let you buy their grain at a high price, right?"

Jiang Hao looked at Old Corey and asked.

Old Corey nodded: "Basically, they have been bought, whether they are high-quality or inferior, they are twice the market price, and they are purchased through the Chamber of Commerce, without revealing our identity." ”

"Good."

A smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Hao's mouth.

"Still, my lord, I still don't understand, why give them such a big benefit?"

Old Corey scratched his head, a little puzzled.

"You don't have to worry about this, isn't it going to be spring ploughing soon?"

"We will suspend the sale of grain for a period of time in the future and buy a large number of crops such as cotton."

Jiang Hao issued another order.

Old Corey was even more puzzled at this time: "Lord Lord, aren't we going to plant high-yield cotton in the future?" If we let them grow cotton, it will compete with us. ”

Jiang Hao waved his hand: "The spring plowing period is only this half a month anyway, and after this half a month passes, you will naturally know what will happen." ”

Regarding Jiang Hao's recent behavior, Old Corey also felt that he was getting more and more confused.

"By the way, Mr. Adrian seems to want to see you before, do you want to meet?"

Old Corey suddenly remembered this, and then asked.

Jiang Hao nodded, and then followed Old Corey to the cell together.

In fact, some time ago, Jiang Hao never forgot about Adrian's stubble.

After all, the talents in his hands are indeed a little too few, but anyone who can get one will make Jiang Hao very excited.

During this time, he was also busy with various matters, and he was dizzy, and even had a mood of wanting to mess up.

The bigger the territory, the more problems there will be.

In the last week, the number of displaced people in the territory has increased by almost 3,000.

This is almost the last batch, and those displaced people will appear in the autumn and winter.

In the spring, most of the displaced people fled and died.

These ordinary peasants, in the eyes of those lords, were like wheat waiting to be harvested.

After one stubble, there will be another stubble.

When the lords have harvested the wheat farmers again, they will wait for new wheat to grow again.

The dead peasants were no different from dead wheat in their eyes.

Inside the cell, Adrian's complexion was still the same as before.

Now that he hadn't seen him for almost two weeks, Adrian hadn't come out of his cell.

Jiang Hao wondered if Adrian regarded the cell as his dragon field, and came to this dragon field to enlightenment.

Jiang Hao didn't have any restrictions on his actions, and if he wanted to go out, he could do it casually.

Adrian was a clear stream of the robbers, and the property on his body did not add up to a few gold coins.

In the past, when I was a robber, I would often persuade those high-level people, asking them to take more care of the robbers.

But the final result can show that if those high-level robbers were really obedient, it is estimated that they would have been eliminated by now.

Because, they are just tools for accumulating money in the hands of General York.

If there is such an awareness, it is estimated that there will be a threat, and General York will not hesitate to abandon them when the time comes.

"Mr. Adrian, long time no see."

Jiang Hao smiled and said hello.

The reason why he laughed was simple, he saw loyalty above Adrian's head.

85！

When I first met him two weeks ago, there was a red deficit above my head.

This increase in loyalty from scratch is really something Jiang Hao didn't expect.

He didn't feel like he had done anything lately, but his loyalty had just gone up.

"Your Lord."

Adrian said directly.

"Mr. Adrian, have you figured it out?"

Jiang Hao smiled faintly.

"Figured it out."

Adrian smiled bitterly before he spoke.

These days, although Jiang Hao didn't come to look for him, many robbers who had been favored by him before came over.

In their mouths, Jiang Hao not only did not treat them with any abuse, but was also very generous.

If these words were in normal times, maybe Adrian would not have taken them seriously, but now that he is in prison, he has figured it out a lot.

Especially after knowing the sky-high wealth of the Moonlight Bandit Alliance, I felt even more guilty and indebted in my heart.

As a former official, he wanted to persuade the robbers to do good.

But what Otto did made him gradually discouraged.

For those ordinary people, the debt finally prevailed over the so-called grace of knowledge.

"Then, Mr. Adrian, I'm going to have to trouble you a lot in the future."

Jiang Hao nodded, showing a hint of relief with a smile.

I was finally able to get rid of the heavy work of government affairs.
