No matter what kind of god system, there is a demand for mortals with good qualifications, and even the door gods need good goalkeepers and good craftsmen, which is of great help to their promotion.

But it's a pity that good seedlings are rare, and Chen Qing doesn't even want to give Wei Gongcheng, let alone the old wolf guarding the door.

"Don't pay attention to him, I have my own arrangements for that man, go to the hall to talk first."

When he arrived in the hall, Chen Qing began to ask about the matter: "Fatty, how much grain is there in Liuzhou Mansion now?" How long can it be enough for these new refugees in Liuzhou City? ”

"When the adults bought real estate before, they bought a large amount of grain, plus the subsidies given to us by Nanming Mansion before, the food is quite sufficient, even if the rice and flour steamed buns that can be supplied at once, they can last at least four or five months, and if they use rice porridge to continue their lives, they can even last until winter!"

"Not enough." Chen Qing shook his head: "This is not a normal refugee, these refugees have to organize themselves to work later, or join the army, or participate in reclamation, they all need to have a full meal, and the rice is not enough, there must be enough meat, fruits and vegetables." ”

"What the hell?" Zhou Haitao's eyelids jumped violently when he heard this: "Adults are not joking, right?" Meat? Fruits and vegetables, everyone? ”

Even when Liuzhou is at its most prosperous, it doesn't mean that every family can eat meat, right? Those workers who work as coolies on the docks, it is a luxury to be able to eat two bowls of noodles a day, and most of them are just a steamed bun and a bowl of gruel, okay?

This is still Liuzhou's commerce and trade at that time was prosperous enough, and it was able to overflow a lot of money to the people at the bottom, like Baishui County, where he was located, ordinary farmers were reluctant to eat the fine grains they planted, and had to exchange them for coarse grains and cotton, tens of thousands of people, eating meat? I'm afraid this adult is not living in a dream?

Chen Qing knew what the other party was thinking, but he didn't explain much, in ancient times, it was indeed unrealistic for a city to provide tens of thousands of people with meat, but this kind of living standard was not good for the Taoist system.

The Shinto system requires the people's physical fitness to be good enough!

Whether it is a goalkeeper, a mountain ghost, or a god of war general that he plans to cultivate later, he must need a lot of meat to raise, and the production level must be improved quickly.

Chen Qing thought for a while and said, "You will send a recruitment notice later." ”

"Are you still recruiting?" Zhou Haitao was stunned, now that Liuzhou is counting the gatekeepers who defend the city, the number of soldiers is almost more than 2,000, far beyond the rights of a prefect, and even if he is in a hurry, what will he raise again?

"How can you save people without recruiting soldiers?" Chen Qing glanced at the other party: "There are five districts and counties along the river, and there are more than a dozen districts and counties along the mountain road, with a population of nearly one million, let them fend for themselves?" ”

"But my lord," Zhou Haitao said with a bitter face: "Training requires money and food, and what kind of soldiers are adults planning to train?" What kind of treatment is it this time? ”

In order to make everyone desperate for recruitment, Chen Qing promised heavy profits, with a monthly salary of ten taels and meat per ton, this kind of treatment of 2,000 people He felt that it was already the limit, and he still recruited soldiers? If it's the same treatment as before, there's no money to scrape him.

"Don't worry about the silver, you can promise it first, give it later, as for the food"

Chen Qing knows that he is a little embarrassed and fat, and the rice grain is okay to say, whether it is the rice grain that is saved first or the person who takes someone to the township to collect it, it will definitely be able to supply it in the short term, but meat is basically impossible, Ma Erniang These days, the pigs in her hometown have been killed.

This is not modern, a pig farm produces thousands of piglets a year, the countryside is fed with cooked feed, a village has a hundred pigs fed out a year, it is already good, the living corpse will not be interested in livestock, but even if the countryside is raided, the amount of meat will not be able to supply at that time.

The original plan was to let the beast spirits in the Nanshan Mountain God slowly cultivate, and spend half a year to find high-quality animal breeds for animal husbandry and improve meat production.

But now this situation obviously can't come slowly, although there will be no new living corpses coming up now, and there are also Nanming Mansion and Nanyang City to share the pressure, but Chen Qing knows that this model will not last long, even if there is a deliberate suppression by the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley, the stable situation will be at most half a year.

After half a year, even the scattered ordinary living corpses will evolve to the second level, and when the outer circle of the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley can't hold on, it will be fully opened.

Even if the number of living corpses is occasionally removed by the two large state capitals now, it will not decrease too much, plus the consumption of each other, Chen Qing calculates with the most optimistic data, there is also a quarter left, Yu Chi Feihong said that tens of millions of people have died in the seventeen countries of the West Sea, and when Jiangnan has to face, it will be at least one million second-level living corpses!

If you want to protect yourself, Liuzhou has to raise at least 50,000 Shinto elite soldiers, and if you want to protect the entire Jiangnan, you have to have at least 150,000!

Time is running out

"You also promise first, and I will find a way when the time comes."

"Adults mean to draw the cake first?"

Chen Qing: "."

"Your Excellency." Zhou Haitao had a bitter face: "You can take it easy, how much more can you recruit?" Five thousand? It won't be 10,000, right? It's impossible for all the young and strong to be soldiers. ”

"That's not it." Chen Qing shook his head and said: "At the same time as recruiting soldiers, we must also recruit farmers, and if you announce it, the government will redistribute the agricultural land and provide protection."

"Recruiting farmers?" The fat man was stunned: "Where to farm?" ”

It's not that he hasn't heard of the situation in the countryside, there are living corpses eating people everywhere, who dares to go back to farming now?

"I'll arrange the place." Chen Qing said directly: "You just have to publicize it, just say that the place is safe enough, and the fields will be allocated according to the head." ”

The fat man listened and wondered, in this situation, where is there a safe place to farm?

It can't be inside the city, right? Some fields can be reclaimed on the south side of the city, but how much can be reclaimed?

"Let's go and arrange it" Chen Qing took out a large number of silver tickets directly from his sleeve bag: "The account room, documents, torture room, master or something you want, you can take advantage of this time to recruit, there are many scholars among the people who were rescued, among the people who were rescued in Luling County at that time, there were people from the sixth room in the county seat at that time, you can recruit directly, but you have to be careful, those people used to follow Gu Beiquan in Luling County, so you have to prevent them from being careful." ”

"Okay!" Zhou Haitao couldn't wait to grab the large amount of silver tickets, his eyes were as bright as pearls, he had been a bookkeeper since he was a child, and he immediately smiled when he took the silver tickets, they were all hundreds of taels of large silver tickets, such a thick stack, at least one million taels.

It's rare, it's rare, it's not in vain, I have been a cow and a horse for so many days, and I'm finally willing to give money.

Don't say anything else, I'll draw myself first!

Looking at the other party's rare appearance, Chen Qing shook his head funny, not to mention these silver tickets, even the secular gold and silver will depreciate rapidly in Liuzhou in the future, under the Shinto system, the spirit stone with the power of faith will be the main currency in circulation, of course, you can't let the fat man know these now, and the other party won't believe it.

"Boss." After receiving the money, Zhou Haitao immediately resumed his previous intimate title: "You don't have to worry about those scholars in Luling County, I inquired, Gu Beiquan and others were not popular in Luling County before, and they were harsh to the officials below, and the masters of the academy looked at them very unpleasantly, so you don't have to worry about what moths they can make." ”

Chen Qing nodded, he had no soldiers and no power, and he couldn't get out of Liuzhou, a few guys with no eggs really couldn't become anything.

"It's that Liu Yiqi."

"Huh? What's wrong? Chen Qing said curiously.

Zhou Haitao hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I know that you and Cui Yan received his favor at the beginning, but I feel fat, that guy is not a good person, boss, you better not use it." ”

Chen Qing suddenly rolled his eyes, do you still need to remind you?

The two female ghosts who had been following behind Liu Yiqi did not leave an inch, and at a glance, they knew that this guy must have done something unconscionable, and he would be punished sooner or later under the Shinto system, and he just didn't have time to deal with him.

——

"This Chen Qing is getting more and more disagreeable, even if we are at fault, we are still decent Shilin, even if our official seal is deducted, we have to arrange food and accommodation properly, right? What is it now? Mix us with these refugees and eat these every day? ”

It was the county magistrate of Luling County who spoke, named Li Chong, and at this time several people were standing domineeringly on the table of a teahouse, indignant.

The owner of the teahouse saw that several people were dressed as scholars, although the other party had been drinking tea for the past two days and did not give money, but it was not easy to offend, so he could only hide from afar.

"Li Xiancheng's brain is confused?" Liu Yiqi said coldly: "What do you mean that we are at fault? What's wrong with us? It was he Chen Qing who did not take precautions and did not give early warning, we worked hard to support the people in Luling County, but there were no soldiers and no generals in our hands, and the city was finally broken after organizing the people to resist for a day and a night. ”

Several people were stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted and nodded again and again: "Sect Liu's edict is right, it is true!" ”

Gu Beiquan frowned suddenly, although he was unwilling to let Chen Qing give them down like this, but in the end, they made a big mistake and omission, even if everyone united and colluded, could they really reverse black and white?

So he frowned and asked: "So many people in Luling County were rescued by Chen Qing, not to mention anything else, those academy masters are all on Chen Qing's side, will the imperial court believe us?" ”

"Gu Xianling is really confused!" Liu Yiqi said sharply: "Those low-level ant people, what righteousness do they understand? Can what they say be used as testimony? As for the masters who don't know how to lift up." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, I will deal with it." ”

Although the voice became lower, everyone was cold when they heard it in broad daylight, including Gu Beiquan, who was all heartbroken by the other party's cruel eyes.

I don't know if it's an illusion, I always feel that Liu Yiqi's whole temperament has completely changed since that night, there is a kind of ruthlessness that penetrates into the bone marrow, and a glance at you from time to time can make your heart beat.

Thinking of that night, this guy did not hesitate to push down the picture of the two women, and Gu Beiquan fell into hesitation for the first time in his heart.

Do you really want to be with this guy?

At this time, several people couldn't see it, behind Liu Yiqi, two women who were bitten into a blur of flesh and blood smiled miserably at everyone, but the cruelty in their eyes was exactly the same as Liu Yiqi!
