Chapter 67: Forcing the Palace

It took half a month to build a kiln made of roughly standard bricks, because he had to make Li Qing and Li Bian understand the meaning of size and standards, and also have a certain knowledge of geometry, which was much more difficult than doing it by hand.

After the kiln was erected, Fengyun asked Li Qing and his son to build a straw shed next to the kiln, and when the weather was hot, the kiln also had to be taken care of, so they simply lived next to the kiln.

Jiang Xiang didn't come over to see him except for the time he had just moved over, but she was busy dealing with the problems of the Yi people, often going out early and returning late, so she really didn't have time. Fengyun was also happy not to be disturbed, he was taking advantage of this time to think about some things he had encountered recently, and by the way, he pondered his physical problems.

At the position of the shoulder blades on both sides, the three forces in his body have been stalemate for a long time. That black light, he guessed, was the power of the Demon Heart, its approximate volume was equivalent to the power of the Divine Yuan, and although the magic power was weak, it had a steady supply of the body, and the three powers fell into a strange balance in his body.

He didn't know whether to break this balance or not, he still had a Divine Yuan Stone in his hand, if he absorbed the power of the Divine Yuan in it, the power in his body should be instantly unbalanced, but he didn't know what would happen after that. Therefore, he still did not act rashly and was still carefully observing.

However, during this time, Chiyou City was not peaceful.

As more and more Yi people were sent in, the friction between the two tribes became more and more serious. Before their arrival, most of the Li people did not realize what it meant for a large number of foreigners to live in the city, until the food problem arose, and the conflict broke out.

Even though the hunting team went out hunting day and night, it was still unable to cope with the growing demand for food and clothing. The old ministry sent all the old and weak women and children, and their labor capacity was extremely limited, and even if they let those who could still go to the fields go to work in the fields, more than half of them were just waiting for food.

As a last resort, Li can only open a warehouse to release grain, but the current grain reserves of the Li people cannot meet such a large demand, which has also been calculated before. It takes two months for the maize in the fields to ripen, so it is necessary to produce food rations for 80,000 people in these two months.

Li Greed's method is very simple, but also very helpless, first, everyone goes out to find everything that can be eaten except for the crops in the field. Second, everyone has limited their daily food rations, halving their daily rations.

The announcement of this decision has aroused the dissatisfaction of many Li people, who have not had enough food, and now they have to take out half of it from their mouths and give it to those untouchables? They will not question Li greed, so everyone pointed the finger at the Yi people who migrated over.

In the face of the anger of the Li people, the Yi people's way of dealing with it is very simple, that is, to hold together. Although there were occasional frictions between the various tribes of the old tribe, their enemies were very common at the moment, that is, the Li people who had destroyed their homeland.

Within half a month, more than 30,000 Yi people had migrated, and although there was not a single witch war, it was also a force to be reckoned with.

Nowadays, there are chickens and dogs jumping in Chiyou City from morning to night, and there are constant conflicts of all sizes, all kinds of reasons, but the root of the problem is survival resources.

"Today, I killed two Yi people by the draft river, and those eggs and balls shit and washed their butts in the river, and the patriarch and the big witch went to see it early in the morning. There were a lot of people around, and I ran around for a long time to scoop the water upstream, you drink it! It's not dirty!" The fat aunt chattered while boiling water, and Fengyun suddenly didn't feel thirsty after hearing this.

Fengyun was a little surprised, in the past few days, he was teaching Li Bian how to measure the level, lay the foundation, and didn't run to the city, but he didn't expect the problem to be so serious?

These contradictions were brought by him, if it weren't for the system task, he would not have come up with the idea of using the salt-making formula to replace people, and there would not be a large number of Yi people who migrated all the way over. Li Greed and Da Wu were both wiping his buttocks, which made him a little unhappy, but he couldn't figure out why Li Greed and Da Wu didn't come to him?

"Li Bian, you send me to the city to have a look. Fengyun said.

"Okay!" Li Bian blew on the wood shavings on the board in front of him, put down his tools and responded. He gradually became familiar with Fengyun, he was much bolder than before, and he would chat with Fengyun and ask some technical questions, he had used all kinds of tools skillfully these days, so that Fengyun felt that he might be the kind of person that Yan Shuisheng and his uncle said that the ancestor ate and ate.

Compared with him, Li Qing's talent is much worse, and he can't use the saw well until now, but his hammer skills are good, and he is quite spiritual in using an axe, and he can cut out a wooden board with a hand axe alone, and he is very skilled under his hands.

Xiaoying ate and slept, slept and ate, and lived a particularly happy life, this month's star Guo Lishu has been sent over, and she will be full and sleeping on the bed. After half a month of training, Xiaoying finally stuck to Fengyun from time to time, and Fengyun couldn't hug her, she had grown up.

Asked the fat aunt to help take care of it, Li Bian pushed Fengyun to the city, and it didn't take long for Fengyun to find out that the problem was serious.

The thatched hut of the Yi people has almost been built at the foot of the mountain, and the Yi people with feathers on their heads can be seen everywhere, most of them are old people with gray hair and thin bodies, leaning against the grass hut with expressionless faces and basking in the sun. The rumbling of the stomach came and went, accompanied by the howling of children. Occasionally, the clay pots of people who make fires and make rice are also boiling soup as light as water, and a few clear grains that can only be counted by the naked eye under the grass or wild vegetables. The grains that had not had time to be ground into flour had hard shells, and this kind of grain was not easy to digest, and Fengyun did not understand why they didn't take a dip, because he saw that there were several grass huts with wooden pestles and mortars. But after he thought of another possibility, he asked Li Bian to speed up his pace.

The draft river is a small river that flows through Chiyou City, and the last time Xuan Ming and Fengyun met was by this small river. It is brought from the big river outside the city, and after nearly ten miles of slow flow, the water flowing into the city has almost precipitated, at least it can be boiled and drinkable. This small river is the source of drinking water for the Li people, and even if they want to wash their clothes on weekdays, they go downstream to wash them, but when the wind and clouds pass by, they see feces floating on the shore pushed by the current. With the violent temper of the Li people, it is not surprising that they kill people.

Far away, I saw hundreds of Yi people surrounding Li and Jiang Xiang in the middle, three or five witch wars separated the Yi people, and a few old people of the Yi tribe were foaming at the mouth and arguing to Li Yuan, wiping a handful of old tears from time to time, and exchanging glances with each other.

Walking closer, Fengyun faintly heard the old man who took the lead say with a handful of snot and tears: "Wow, the lord of the country, we are all dying people, and we have heard that the lord of the country is loving and willing to support the old and weak, but I don't think that there are more dead people on the road than on the road." Xiao Liuzi and Hemp Zi were just hungry and panicked, and when they came to fish in this river, they were killed by you! Lord, if you don't want to accept us, just a word, I will take my people out, and I will be happy to feed the foreigners, and I don't have to suffer from this hunger!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Fengyun's mouth, this old man is interesting, he is very good at avoiding the important and light, confusing the public! Obviously he was drowning in drinking water, but he said that he was touching a fish, he should have seen that Li Greed did not mean to kill them, and actually used this as a conversation to choke Li Greed, tsk! How else can you say that people are old and become fine?

Li Greed's face was ugly, and a witch war beside him listened to the nonsense of the old man of the Yi tribe, and stepped forward and said angrily: "Old man Xuansan, don't talk nonsense here, your two clansmen are obviously drowning in the drinking river, if you want to find trouble, you will rush to me, I ......"

"Are you going to kill me? Wow! Come on! Just hit here! Anyway, you Li people will kill me and Yi people if you want to!" The old man Xuansan shouted at the witch war, but his eyes were looking at Li Greed.

"Everyone!" Jiang Xiang spoke, she looked past Xuan San at the Yi people behind him, and said: "We are all descendants of the ancestors of the Fuxi people, although there are differences in the clans, but we all have the same blood flowing on our bodies, and we should not kill each other." Now that the autumn harvest has not yet been made, there is not enough food in the tribe, that is, the people of my Li tribe are cutting down on food and clothing, only for everyone to eat, and in two months, a batch of new grain will come down, and everyone will have a full meal to eat at that time!"

"Great Witch!" Xuan San pointed to the circle of Yi people behind him with a bitter face, and said: "Look at it! Do we seem to be able to survive two months? We are all abandoned people of the same clan, just asking for a life-saving ration, Grandma Wu, you can do well, let the lord of the country put more food, save our lives!"

"Please, Dawu, give my mother and son a bite to eat!" A cry rang out from the crowd, and there was a burst of crying. Xuan San looked at Li Yan and Jiang Xiang with a bitter face, but there was a sly light in his eyes.

He is gambling, gambling with his life, no one is stupid, Li Greed can naturally see that his intention is obvious, he wants food, but if there is enough food to eat, how can he get into this situation?

Li Yan looked around, looked at Xuan San and said, "I'll give you another hundred grains at most." ”

"Not enough. Xuan San shook his head and said, "We have 30,000 people, which is not enough at all." ”

"Then there is none. A voice rang out from outside the crowd, and everyone looked back in surprise, only to see a man sitting on a strange thing, being pushed towards it by another man.

"Xuansan is the third person, right?" Fengyun looked at the old man and said, "I will give you two choices now, first, you organize all the active Yi people, and all of them will come out to work for me." The man goes to the field to plow, weeds and waters, and you can do whatever the Li people do, and you can get half a liter of miscellaneous grain a day. The woman learned to weave hemp rope with Li Ma in the city, and she got half a liter of miscellaneous grain for ten zhang. ”

Xuan San waited for a long time and didn't follow, and asked, "What about the second?"

"The second is up to you!"

Listen to me? Xuansan was shocked, but heard Fengyun say: "You took the Yi people out of the city and fended for themselves." ”

Xuan San didn't think about it, he opened his mouth and said, "I'll choose the first one!" His goal has been achieved, he can get half a liter of grain for a day of work, although it is still not enough to eat, but it is still much stronger than now. Is it just for a bite of food? Is it possible to do it? He smiled very knowingly and said, "Then the little old man will go and order." After that, he took a group of Yi orphans and widows and dispersed.

"Why are you here?" asked Li Wan as he looked at Fengyun, his eyes a little complicated.

Fengyun smiled and said, "I am a lieutenant official of Jiuli Kingdom, and there are so many problems, so I naturally have to come over." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Li Yuan's mouth, and then he said seriously: "Half a liter per person, excluding 8,000 young children, then we have to produce 110 grains every day, where can we get so much grain?"

Fengyun smiled: "Why do you think I want so many people to weave hemp rope?"

Li was stunned for a moment, reacted in an instant, patted his head and said, "How did I forget this." ”
