Wu Nian shook his head and said, "You don't need me to punish you, you have already punished yourself." As he spoke, Wu Nian turned his head to look at the two dead men wrapped in the straw mat.

Not only these two, but dozens of people were injured. This punishment is heavy enough.

Then he stood up, looked around at the people, and said, "Since you believe me, then I will speak directly." ”

"Can a living person be suffocated by urine? That's right. Now God doesn't give me food, but I'm here. Back then, Liu Bei was just a straw sandals seller. But in the end, he was proclaimed emperor in Chengdu and divided one side. ”

"So to speak. Man will conquer the heavens. ”

"Naturally, I'll make a charter to make sure you don't starve to death. Besides. If it's really desperate, we have millions of people, 100,000 elite soldiers. I will take you to Mengyuan to fight and raise the war. It is better to die in an enemy country than to starve to death in a field. ”

"Let's all go home."

When Wu Nian said this, he waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes." Of course, the people believed Wu Nian, shouted yes, stood up, saluted Wu Nian with fists, and then left in two groups.

The two poor people who died were also taken away by them.

Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping also stood up, the two glanced at each other, and then looked at the riverbed next to them, the water flow was already pitiful.

They sighed in unison.

Wu Nian glanced back at them, did not bring his own soldiers, walked along the riverbed, bowed his head and pondered. I don't know how long I walked, Wu Nian stood still, turned to look at Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping, and said, "I remembered the past. ”

"In the past, I raised troops to deal with the Mengyuan people. There are many people who are doubtful and do not believe me. There are thousands of Han people and thousands of commanders, who raise troops against me. ”

"Even now. There must also be people who have doubts about the incompatibility between Yan Han and Meng Yuan. ”

"But they all believed me."

"This is all the prestige that I have accumulated bit by bit over the years. So I came up with a solution, and this way, only I can do it. ”

"Only the second government can do it."

Speaking of this, Wu Nian's eyes flashed, revealing a look of confidence.

"Huh?" Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping all showed surprise, and then they were overjoyed, and now they were burning their eyebrows, but they had no choice.

Wu Nian has a way, of course it is the best.

"Please show me the general." Liu Zhixing took a deep breath and said sincerely.

"This water is limited. I can't keep all the acres of land and water. If I don't do something, the people will fight over the water from time to time. ”

"All fields will die of drought."

"Make an announcement. We organized officials who were good at agriculture to go to various places to investigate. I won't talk about the construction of water conservancy. The order has been issued before. ”

"Things to do now. Keep first the crops that can be kept, and discard the crops that cannot be kept. ”

"With my prestige. Let the people believe that I will not starve to death a single person. ”

"What do you think?"

Wu Nian looked up and asked.

Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping gasped in unison. They instinctively felt that this was impossible, and almost blurted it out.

This man is selfish. The people of the two villages, fighting for water, killed two people and injured dozens of others.

How is it possible to first preserve the crops that can be preserved, and discard the crops that cannot be preserved?

Who? Abandon whom?

Of course, the insured were ecstatic. Those who have been discarded may be reversed tomorrow.

But when they think about it, they think it's really possible. Wu Nian has prestige and can do many incredible things.

If the emperor of Chu issued an order to do something similar, I am afraid it would not be easy. But Wu Nian's announcement like this is really likely to be successful.

Two key words. It is faithfulness.

Water is limited. If you want to protect all the acres of land in the two mansions and twelve cities, it is impossible. Selectively keep crops that are easy to keep. For example, a field near a water source. Then subdivided, first protect the good land, abandon the bad land.

If such a thing can be done, then it is very possible for the second government to survive the crisis.

Of course. This will certainly cause confusion as well. But in addition to Xinyi, Wu Nian also has more than 100,000 elite soldiers with strict military discipline, which is enough to suppress Xiao Xiao and govern everyone obediently.

"General. This is feasible, but there is a lot of risk. I think we can make an announcement first to test it, if the people's discontent boils. We're going to have to retract the announcement immediately before it crashes. After thinking for a while, Liu Zhixing said with a deep fist.

"Hmm. Although the order changes overnight, it will lose credit. But it is also offensive and defensible. Wu Nian nodded and agreed with Liu Zhixing's preparation.

"When you get back, you can go back and do it. See how much of the crop you can keep. If you can keep 20% of the crops, you will be able to survive this year and survive until next autumn. ”

"But I have one more concern."

When Wu Nian said this, he sighed and said, "Locust plague." ”

Liu Zhixing and Zhang Haiping were silent. Both of them are readers, and the more they read, the more theoretical knowledge they have.

"There is a great drought this year, and locusts have risen."

"There is a great drought in the year, locusts arise, the people are hungry, and the children are eaten."

The word in the history books is blood.

This drought is often accompanied by a plague of locusts. Of course, they don't understand the truth, they just feel that this is the law of the operation of heaven and earth.

But Wu Nian understood.

This is the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng. Good snow can kill insects and keep warm. When the snow melts, it moistens the earth.

And if water is abundant, the food chain comes into play. For example, the drought has caused a massive decline in frogs.

Frogs eat locusts.

The number of locusts will increase exponentially.

Even if Wu Nian can use his prestige to make the people suppress their nature, stop killing each other, compete for water, and give priority to ensuring the irrigation of crops that can be guaranteed.

But if the locusts pass through, I'm afraid everything will be a dream.

When the locusts swarm, it is scarier than the rain. Obscuring the sky and the sun, forming a [demon cloud] to fall, eat everything they can eat, and then fly to the next place.

At that time, Wu Nian would have more than 100,000 elite soldiers in his hands. The Yingqing Mansion and the Guangchuan Mansion are guarded like iron buckets, as stable as Mount Tai.

The Mengyuan people, the Chu people, and the Fusang pirates all wanted to step into the second mansion half a step. But in the face of this locust that covers the sky and the sun, I am afraid that I am helpless.

"It's just fate. Not really. It's like the general said. We led millions of people to go deep into Mengyuan to feed the war with war. ”

"Fight to the death. Either survive or die in Mengyuan. ”

Liu Zhixing sighed, shook his head and said.

"Hey." Zhang Haiping sighed, not very optimistic about this [fighting to raise war]. Wu Nian, who relies on the green mountains and the city, is powerful.

is a shark in the water.

Once they left Qingshan and Chengchi, without logistical guarantees, the lone army went deep into Mengyuan, and there was a great possibility of starvation.

"Don't be discouraged, I still have some options." Wu Nian laughed and said.
