Chapter 618: Let's Publicize It Ourselves
The Land of the Cursed has been developed for nearly half a year, and it has been very smooth, the houses in the living area have been completed, and the paper mill is almost completed, just waiting for the stars to bring people to put into production.
But at the beginning of June, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred. Supplies on the Cursed Lands side are usually purchased from two adjacent territories. But these days, the people sent out have reported that the grain merchants in the two major territories have no food.
Han Xiaowuyi felt that there was a problem when he heard it, the geographical location of the Kingdom of Dali was excellent, the climate was warm and humid, it could be planted twice a year, and the grain production was very rich, how could there be no food.
"Someone is going to be unfavorable to us!" Away from the Star Leader, Han Xiaowu was always vigilant, and Wu immediately thought of this possibility.
Subsequently, Han Xiaowu sent people to secretly explore the two territories, and sure enough, he found that the grain merchants were not without grain, and they were selling happily. This situation is more certain of what Han Xiaowu thinks.
He didn't go to the lords of these two territories, and he was able to control the grain merchants, maybe that was what these two lords meant. Then he set his sights on the farther territory, not giving the two territories a chance to talk at all.
However, what Han Xiaowu didn't expect was that in the five territories further away, the grain merchants didn't sell them grain.
"There's trouble now!" Han Xiaowu was not calm, if it was only two territories, it was probably the lord's own idea. But so many territories are like this, and the Eight Achievements have something to do with the high-level of the Great Departure Kingdom.
At this time, it was already mid-June, and Han Xiaowu didn't dare to delay, so he immediately wrote a letter to Jiang Xingchen to explain the situation. After all, this is the territory of the Great Departure Kingdom. If it is really the high-level of Dali who targets him, then the development of the Cursed Land will be difficult in the future......
Xingchen Ling, Jiang Xingchen had just finished writing a letter to Wu Tianfeng of the Seventh Legion and sent it out. was about to continue to write a letter to Luo Yu of the Orc Alliance, preparing to negotiate a big deal. As a result, I received a letter from Han Xiaowu.
Seeing the contents of the letter, Jiang Xingchen also frowned, this matter was definitely premeditated, and he wanted to get some benefits from himself.
After pondering for a moment with his head down, Jiang Xingchen picked up the pen and wrote a letter to the Wang family, asking them to check the situation. And ask them to send a batch of food to the Cursed Land first.
After writing a letter to the Wang family, Jiang Xingchen replied to Han Xiaowu. Let him save a little for the time being, hold on for a few more days, his side is already arranging.
The two letters were sent, and Jiang Xingchen ordered the guards who followed him. Inform the blacksmith's workshop. Make every effort to build a batch of cold iron knives, crossbow arrows, and folding repeaters.
Then Jiang Xingchen found Grandpa Fu again and asked him to immediately mobilize a batch of grain and prepare another 10,000 yuan.
Grandpa Fu was very surprised, now that the imperial flood has just passed, food is the most scarce, although there was a lot of hoarding before. But in the future, the number of tourists will definitely be huge. And the 10,000 yuan. It's 10 million citrine coins, what are you going to do here, sir.
Jiang Xingchen briefly explained the situation encountered in the Cursed Land, and told Grandpa Sรน Fu that the 10,000 yuan stone was used to make grenades.
"Didn't you let the Wang family send supplies, how can we still prepare! It will cost too much to transport them from us to the Cursed Land. Grandpa Fu frowned.
"This time, it's obvious that someone is targeting us. I'm worried that the Wang family's supplies won't be delivered, so I have to prepare more!" Jiang Xingchen explained.
Hearing Jiang Xingchen say this, of course Grandpa Fu could tell the difference, and immediately nodded in agreement. However, when he turned around, he showed a painful expression, the food is okay, and the grenade costs 10 million, which is really too expensive......
Grandpa Fu left on the front foot, and Jiang Xingchen sent another letter, this letter was sent to the Orc Alliance, and he wanted to buy horses.
Although the breeding technology of the Orc Alliance is liberalized, the best horses can only be bought from the Orc Alliance.
After sending out a few letters, Jiang Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes in contemplation. He had long thought that the development of the Cursed Lands would not be so smooth, but what he didn't expect was that so many lords were targeting him.
After a long time, the corners of Jiang Xingchen's mouth suddenly hooked up a sneer: "If you want to take away the benefits from me, it depends on whether you have such good teeth, don't fail to eat and end up bursting your own teeth...... Isn't it just supplies and food, we don't need you, we'll do it ourselves!"
With a sneer, Jiang Xingchen got up and walked out to Bauhinia Entertainment. Now that Zhang Di's piano repertoire has been almost practiced, and the tour of the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe is also on the agenda, he and Wanrou are busy, and they have to arrange scenes for the performance every day......
A day later, Wu Tianfeng, who first received Jiang Xingchen's letter, did not hesitate, and transferred the soldiers with a wave of his hand.
Several deputy corps commanders were scared enough, this is not the corps commander's private army, it is a real regular army, how can it be said that it will be transferred away, if the military department knows, it will be repaid.
Wu Tianfeng smiled and waved his hand, and said confidently: "Don't worry, even if the marshal and the emperor know, it won't be good!"
Several deputy corps commanders were suspicious, but they couldn't say anything, so they had to retreat temporarily in fear...... After several days, there was no movement, and the military department ignored it as if it didn't know about it. That's when they were relieved.
Of course, a few of them didn't know, the so-called short-handed manpower, the marshal and the emperor accepted the benefits of Jiang Xingchen's twenty-seventh-level demon beast meat, even if someone complained about making trouble, they would not pay attention to it.
When the three thousand soldiers arrived at Xingchen Ling, Jiang Xingchen and Wanrou's stage design work had also been completed, and the materials transported to the Cursed Land by Grandpa Fu were also ready, and a full three hundred carts were loaded.
When the soldiers arrived, the mountain development plan began, and the weeds on the hillsides were plucked out, and the trees were dug up and planted on the streets of the new town, or in and around the courtyards of hotels and homes.
The development of the mountainous area began, and the territory became lively again, and the food, drink, and housing of 3,000 people had to be arranged, and there were many people who worked hard, transported, and collected garbage, and so on......
At the same time, weapons and grenades were all made under the hassle of the blacksmith's workshop and the research institute. Jiang Xingchen's 900 private soldiers have a set.
As a person who practices martial arts, there is no one who does not like weapons. A single knife made of cold iron, the style is small, but the powerful folding crossbow makes these private soldiers love it. Especially the grenades, they have admired them for a long time, but they have never had the opportunity to touch them, and now they finally see the real ones, and each of them is equipped with ten, so they have been excited for a long time.
After the weapons were distributed, Jiang Xingchen found Zhao Danqing and asked the Iron Sword Mercenary Regiment to be in charge of commanding, leading five hundred private soldiers to escort and transport these materials to the Cursed Land.
Zhao Danqing heard that the coke was broken, he was tortured these days, and he was caught by the old man every day to fight the landlord. Although this game is fun, it can't stand up to such black and white constantly boiling.
He was happy, but the old man was unhappy, he didn't have many card friends, Zhao Danqing was gone, who would play with him. He came back after delivering the perfume, and the landlord skills that Xiao Soul had promised had not yet taught himself. I have to wait until I learn the skills, and clean up Jiang Xingchen to have a good time.
"Boy, you can't change someone else, isn't Zhao Xiaozi the only one in the Iron Sword Mercenary Group?" the old man found Jiang Xingchen and asked unhappily.
"I'm not at ease when others escort me, it's not like you don't know the situation in the empire now, there is a shortage of food everywhere, what if someone has the idea of beating this batch of food!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"That Zhao boy has a fart relationship, your private soldier has a grenade and a folding crossbow in his hand, and I'm afraid that someone will make up his mind......" The old man muttered.
Jiang Xingchen didn't speak, just looked at the old man quietly and shook his head slightly.
"Otherwise, you let the red fiber girl be in charge of escorting, it's always okay, right?"
"Sister Hongxian can't do it, Zijing will start a tour of various countries in two days, and she has to be responsible for protecting the actors of Bauhinia Entertainment!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
Now the old man is really out of line, but he didn't leave immediately, his eyes rolled, and asked: "Boy, you said that you would teach me the skills of fighting the landlord when I came back from sending the perfume, and I saw that you were busy in the previous paragraph, and I was too embarrassed to disturb you...... Isn't it time to cash in!"
"Old man, don't make a fuss, I didn't see that it's all a matter now, I'm so busy, how can I have time to teach you!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said.
"Hey, boy, tell me what's wrong with me. You said it yourself, I came back from one trip and taught me, and I ended up running twice...... And I haven't been looking for you for the past few days since I came back, it's not interesting enough......"
"Stop!" Seeing that the old man began to chatter, Jiang Xingchen's head was big for a while, and he immediately raised his hand to block it, and said, "Will it be okay in a few days...... I'll teach you when I'm done!"
"This attitude is almost the same!" The old man saw that Jiang Xingchen was soft, then he nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked away in all directions.
"This old guy, why is it to keep Zhao Danqing, it's just to make me soft!" Jiang Xingchen stared at the old man's back, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
After the old man left, Jiang Xingchen went to the editorial office of Xingchen Monthly. Two consecutive issues reported on the flood and reconstruction, and in this issue of Xingchen Monthly, he is going to start focusing on promoting Bauhinia Entertainment's tour.
In addition, due to the impact of the floods in April and May, many commercial banks suffered great losses, and Jiang Xingchen did not advertise to attract investment. This month, this year's investment promotion will also start again.
However, due to the floods, this issue of the monthly magazine did not have much circulation in the empire, only 300,000 copies. But abroad, especially the Great Qin Kingdom and the Moon Shadow Kingdom, Jiang Xingchen invested 600,000 copies for publicity.
On June 25th, the convoy carrying supplies to the Cursed Lands departed. Nine hundred thousand copies of the Star Monthly were also quickly shipped to all parts of the empire, the Moon Shadow Kingdom, and the Great Qin Kingdom. (To be continued......)
