A locust plague broke out in Youzhou.

And that's just the native locusts.

As the disaster continued, Li Mu issued orders one after another, and the grain stores that were originally closed opened one after another.

At the same time, a plan was issued to build a railway, and the construction of the railway began.

At this moment, in a valley, the grain is piled up, like a small mountain, dense, and it makes people reverie.

The grain that once disappeared in the treasury appears here.

"The locust plague broke out ......"

In the valley, Venerable Kong Min said, looking at the locusts flying around like flies above his head, and said lightly.

"Wushuang Hou, very powerful, very powerful...... During the shot, the food deficit was found, and the shortcomings were discovered half a year in advance. If it is delayed for another half a year, there may be no grain left in the granary, but now there is more than half of the grain in the granary, which is enough to support the current crisis!"

"Besides, there is also grain in the granaries of various families. If it's urgent, you can also ask these families!"

"And fried locusts and other ......"

A hint of admiration flashed in Venerable Kong Min's eyes, "If it continues, it will really let Li Mu tide over the difficulties!"

"No, next, Li Mu will find that the front is not going to the gate of heaven, but to hell step by step!" Venerable Baiyun said with a smile: "Next, the grain will be burned, the people don't know how much they will starve to death, and there will be a wave of refugees soon!"

"When did you say the first wave of refugees would appear?"

Venerable Chixiao said, "It could be ten days later, or it could be a month later!"

"As long as the flow of refugees appears, it will burn like wildfire, and the more it burns, it will sweep the world and become the vanguard of weakening the power of Youzhou. Then, the cavalry of the Yuantu Kingdom will invade and sweep in, even if it can't break through the tiger's mouth, it will also cause a great injury to the vitality of Youzhou!"

"At that time, coupled with all kinds of civil strife, the Great Zhou Qi was exhausted, and the sky signaled to usher in a new dynasty...... This is the destiny of heaven, and no one can change it. ”

Lichen Venerable smiled. "Li Mu, it's just a mantis arm as a car!"

Tweeted!

At this time, a goshawk fell from the sky, and a bamboo tube was tied to the goshawk's leg.

Venerable Lichen opened the bamboo tube, there was a letter inside, and when he read the letter, his face kept changing, and finally arrived: "It's not good, something big is going to happen! Li Mu wants to build a railway!"

"What is a railway?"

Venerable Kong Min said.

"You see, this is the railway, this is the train!" In the letter, the train is described in detail, and the situation of the railway is described.

Everyone's faces couldn't help but change greatly.

The speed of the train is very slow, not as fast as the speed of the innate martial artist, it can be described as extremely chicken, but it is indeed good for the country.

It is possible to transport grain throughout the country and rationally distribute grain, and as long as it is not a nationwide famine, it will be difficult for the famine to affect it.

Railways can be used to quickly mobilize troops, and the larger the country, the greater the benefits.

The train is not as fast as the innate martial artist, but the innate martial artist is inferior to the train in terms of endurance.

Trains, as long as they burn coal, can keep moving forward;

But if you are an innate martial artist, you need to rest for a while if you continue to run for three hours, otherwise your body will not be able to support it.

"Looks like it's in trouble...... If the railroad is built, the train is built, will we still have a way to live?" said Venerable Kong Min worriedly. Everything was planned to be good, but as the train was built, it became less rosy.

"Can we stop it?" Venerable Baiyun said.

"Stop, it's difficult!" Venerable Lichen said, "Is it difficult to build a railway? It's not difficult at all! It only takes a thousand innate martial artist construction teams to build a hundred miles in ten days." If it is according to Li Mu, the construction will be carried out in sections, and the speed will become faster. ”

"For a 3,000-mile railway, it takes fifteen days to slow down, and ten days to speed up is enough. If you take care of other things, it will only take a month to get you into traffic!

"Of course, an innate martial artist can only respond to emergencies for a short time. To build a railway, ordinary people are also needed, and it may take a little longer, but the benefits to the people, the emperor's benefits are too obvious!"

Is it difficult to realize Li Mu's plan of three horizontal and five vertical?

Isn't it really difficult?

It only takes three years to hurry, and ten years to slow down.

"Is there a way to sabotage the construction of the railway?" Venerable Baiyun said.

"Can't!"

Venerable Lichen said: "This time, he is responsible for the construction of the railway, mainly for various merchants, and as for the martial artists under Li Mu, they are mainly responsible for supervision and acceptance. It's clear that they're guarding against something. Even if you destroy it once, twice, you can't destroy it all the time. Once we get caught, our Immortal Sect will really stink!"

There are some things that the Immortal Sect can do, such as going against the emperor, such as rebelling.

But there are some things that cannot be done, such as killing civilians on a large scale, killing some officials, and doing some evil things.

The benefits of building a railroad are very great, and everyone can see that once the Immortal Sect really sends people to sabotage the construction of the railway, the reputation will be really bad at that time.

A lot of bad things can be done behind your back, but you can't put them on the table.

"So what, do you just watch Li Mu continue to do it...... There's nothing we can do!" said Venerable Lichen.

"The situation is going to change, it's not just a railway that can stop it!" Venerable Kong Min smiled, "What Li Mu did was just a mantis arm as a car!"

............

On a field of devastation, the people roared bitterly and hatedly, raising their pockets to chase the locusts.

The locusts have eaten away all the green they can see, and the whole of Chuzhou is barren.

The locusts chase green creatures, leaving no grass growing wherever they go, and then set off again for another place.

The locust plague has been there for three days and three days, and there is no large flow of refugees.

The motivation to start exterminating locusts is quite great, but seeing the endless locusts, the people are a little slack.

Later, martial arts people joined in, and the number of locusts was increasing.

Innate martial artist, using swordsmanship, everywhere he went, the locusts within a range of ten meters were swept away.

Grandmasters, Grand Grandmasters, etc., shoot to destroy locusts faster.

The extermination of locusts continues.

Countless locusts were killed, but countless locusts were born.

The number of locusts has decreased considerably, and some of them have flown to other areas.

Li Mu estimated that the grain failure was a foregone conclusion, and it could only keep as many as three layers in previous years.

Many people have to live on relief food.

From August this year to August of the following year, it was another difficult year.

Winter is the saddest, but also to save some seeds, etc., if the granary grain is already, it can maintain the situation, but it means that the granary grain will continue to consume as many as three layers, and the remaining less than one layer.

There is food at home, and there is no panic in the heart.

Always leave some ballast grain.

The only good news is that the speed of railway construction is still faster than expected.

It only takes ten days, and the 3,000-mile railway is completed. There are less than 10 stops along the way, mainly for coal and water. Transportation is also mainly freight, and there is no passenger transport.

"The first wave has passed, and the next thing is to see if the three kings of the border wilderness can intercept the grassland locusts from transiting!"

Li Mu said in his heart.

"Oh no! The granary is on fire!" At this time, Hua Wuying came and came with bad news.
