Origin Chapter 507: Benefits
"Brother, this kid is so arrogant, so he just retreated, how can he swallow his breath?" Ao Zhi was so angry.
Ao Zhu didn't answer his words, but left a sentence of 'low tide', and took the lead off the ground.
The aquarium generals behind Ao Zhu and the others also lifted into the air. One of the big-mouthed water monsters pulled the conch from his waist and blew the air. With the humming of the conch, the sea water that was several meters above the ground began to fall back quickly. , the fish, lobster and crab in the water also receded with the tide.
Seeing that Ao Zhu had decided to leave, Ao Zhi was furious and annoyed, glaring at Wu Zhongyuan, feeling angry and eager to try.
"Second brother, let's go, the big brother is gone." The third princess reached out and pulled it.
"It's all your fault," Ao Zhi angered the third princess, "you talk too much, and I will never take you out in the future."
In front of everyone, the three princesses couldn't hold back their face, and stomped their feet, "Hey, you don't bring it, eldest brother brings it."
After the three princesses finished speaking, they bowed their knees and raised themselves to meet Ao Zhu in the air.
"You wait for me, I won't have any trouble finding you." Ao Zhi pointed at Wu Zhongyuan.
"I don't want to cause disaster for the human race, you'd better not cause trouble for the dragon race." Wu Zhongyuan is soft and hard.
"You..." Ao Zhi was at a loss for words.
"Ao Zhi, go." Ao Zhu summoned from the sky.
The rank of the dragon clan is also very strict. Although the two are brothers, Ao Zhi is the prince and Ao Zhu is the prince. Ao Zhi must obey his elder brother. Able to forcibly hold back, lift up his qi, and join his siblings.
Ao Zhu was at a high altitude, looking down from a high position. After giving Wu Zhongyuan a cold look, he shook his body and showed the true appearance of a red dragon.
Ao Zhi and the third princess also showed their original forms, one left and one right, and followed Ao Zhu.
Wu Zhongyuan was the first time he saw a red dragon. Each of the three red dragons was seven or eight feet long and had four claws under the belly. The physical appearance was very similar to the blue dragon, but the color of the scales was different. Compared with the Chilong, it looks more ferocious, and it seems that it is not very accurate to describe it with ferociousness. To be precise, it should be more frightening.
A moment later, the three red dragons disappeared at the junction of the sea and the sky in the south, and the seawater that filled the sky had also retreated into the sea.
Until then, everyone came back to their senses. Li Wanzi led his warriors to greet Wu Zhongyuan, and Yuci led the people in Kuicheng to thank him.
Because Yuci had chosen to trust him between him and the Dragon Clan before, Wu Zhongyuan's attitude towards Yuci was more gentle, and he went straight to the point after being humble, "I have heard Zhu Qianwei talk about the second elder, the second elder. Since the second elder has returned, the affairs of Kuicheng should be taken over by the second elder before the young master becomes an adult, do you have any objection to this?"
Before this, Yuci didn't know Wu Zhongyuan. In fact, he didn't know it very well until this moment, but he already understood one thing, that is, Wu Zhongyuan is a standard hawk, and he is brave and fearless. , has the style of a king.
Wu Zhongyuan is the king, and his words are the imperial edict. Naturally, no one objected to his proposal. The most important thing is that even if he did not propose, Yuci should be the person in charge of Weicheng.
After waiting for Yuci's humility, Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Li Wanzi, "Have you told them about the arrangements we made for Weicheng before?"
"I haven't had time to elaborate." Li Wanzi said.
Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand.
Li Wanzi understood, and briefly explained the two people's previous arrangements to everyone in Kuicheng, including the resettlement location after Kuaicheng's northward relocation, as well as their future livelihood arrangements.
After hearing Li Wanzi's remarks, everyone in Huicheng was very moved. They didn't expect Wu Zhongyuan to even consider how they would make a living in the future. Not only did he build a city for them, but he also arranged for them to be in a safe place not far from the East China Sea.
Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and interrupted everyone's gratitude, "I told Zhu Qianwei before that although Huicheng moved north to the Middle Earth, you are still in charge of government affairs and people's livelihood, and Yuancheng and I are in charge of everything in Huicheng. The city lord will not intervene, let alone mobilize the levy."
When Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, everyone in Kuaicheng couldn't help but thank him again.
Wu Zhongyuan said sternly, "You all must know what the current situation is. There are many tribes who want to move to the Middle Earth to avoid disasters. I am not rejecting all who come, and the reason why I accept you is not that I value them. For those 30,000 catties of salt, we have already formed an alliance with the barbarians of the East China Sea, and the salt can be obtained from the East China Sea. The reason why I am willing to protect you even at the expense of the South China Sea dragon clan is because I hold Zhu Qianwei very highly. I wish Qianwei to leave the city of Kui and be loyal to me, do you have any objections?"
As for Wu Zhongyuan's words, everyone will naturally have no objection. It is not unexpected that he has such a request. He gave the horned dragon halberd to Zhu Qianwei, which has already indicated that he wants to Zhu Qianwei, and one servant does not serve two masters. Everyone understands the reason. In addition, Wu Zhongyuan's request also indirectly shows that he is not just talking about the autonomy of Huicheng, he will really fulfill his promise, otherwise, there is absolutely no need for him to leave Zhu Qianwei.
What's yours is what's yours, what's mine is what's mine, each has its own way, and it's a clear distinction, which is also a good thing for Huicheng.
No one objected, Wu Zhongyuan looked at Zhu Qianwei again.
Without waiting for Wu Zhongyuan to speak, Zhu Qianwei stepped forward, flipped the hem of his clothes, and knelt down on one knee, "Inheriting the wrong love of Lord Huangdi, Zhu Qianwei swears allegiance to death."
"Very good," Wu Zhongyuan stepped forward and helped Zhu Qianwei, "Until I don't have an decree, you will still be a guest in Kuai City and live with your old friend."
"Yes." Zhu Qianwei responded loudly.
Li Wanzi led his warriors and Zhu Qianwei to greet each other, while Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to ask Yuci how Kuicheng was preparing.
Actually, Weicheng is not yet fully prepared, but now they have offended the Nanhai Dragon Clan, how can they dare to delay, only that they have already packed up and can go on the road at any time.
Because it was late at night, even if they had to leave, they had to wait until dawn, so Yuci arranged for Wu Zhongyuan and others to rest in the palace, and then led the warriors of the city to organize the people to set up horses and ride their horses, and load up the family.
The team of warriors that Li Wanzi sent earlier had a total of more than ten people, and these people had to go north with Huicheng. Wu Zhongyuan and Li Wanzi discussed the matter before. Even if the journey was safe, Huicheng moved to It will take more than three months for Middle Earth. In these three months, this team of warriors will have to eat and sleep with everyone in Kuicheng, and there is no time to meditate and practice Qi.
Wu Zhongyuan also made arrangements for this. When the people in Kuaicheng go to the ground, and they are properly arranged, all the Jiumu warriors who guard the same journey will each reward a Qi-tonifying pill, which varies from person to person. Also an award.
The warrior Shane retreated, leaving only Wu Zhongyuan and Li Wanzi in the room. Wu Zhongyuan did not mention the assassination of Bai Qianshou to Li Wanzi. Li Wanzi was one of the people who cared about him the most. Taking risks and doing things where the risks and rewards are not proportional, will inevitably be another complaint.
Li Wanzi didn't think there was anything wrong with his tough attitude towards the Dragon Clan in the South China Sea just now, because she was also a hawk. The biggest difference between the two factions is that the former can fight without talking, while the latter can talk about not fighting. It does not mean that the hawks only know how to fight, and the doves only know to surrender. different tendencies.
However, Li Wanzi was very surprised that this matter was good. The surprise was not that he forced the Nanhai Dragon Clan back, but that he should not have come so fast. I wish Qianwei burned the spiritual wooden slip before she knew it. , She didn't expect Wu Zhongyuan to rush over before the other party started.
If I think about it carefully, I have to thank Jiang Zheng. If Jiang Zheng hadn't forced him to marry him and scare him away, Zhu Qianwei would have been in the cattle clan when he burned the wooden slips. .
Speaking of this, Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to ask Li Wanzi how to deal with the relationship with the Niu clan and Jiang Nan. Since the last time Li Wanzi gave him a meal, he really regarded Li Wanzi as a Aunt treat.
But he humbly asked for advice in exchange for a sentence from Li Wanzi, 'Ask me for what? Take care of your own troubles. ’
After being criticized, Wu Zhongyuan didn't ask. Li Wanzi is still relatively repulsive of foreign intermarriage. This is the main reason why she is reluctant to talk about it. Besides this, there may be another reason, that is, Li Wanzi Wan Zi is not good at dealing with the relationship between men and women, otherwise, she would not have been in her boudoir until now. She is a thirty-five- or six-year-old girl.
The next thing they talked about was how to resettle the city. After Li Wanzi arrived, he had a general understanding of the population of the city, which was different from what he said before. What he said was about the city. There should be 30,000 or 40,000 people, but in fact, only over 10,000 were registered.
Wu Zhongyuan's estimate of the population of Kuicheng is based on the number of houses in the city. Although it is not very accurate, it is impossible to have such a big gap with the real number. After a debate with Li Wanzi, I found out about the number of people There is a conceptual deviation in the statistics of the two. At this time, the number of children and the elderly is not counted. Boys under the age of 14, girls under the age of 12, men over 60 years old, and women over 50 years old are all. Not included in the total population.
This is not only the case in Huicheng, but also the three ethnic groups in China. This time is not like modern times. Children are born with household registration. At this time, the medical conditions are very poor, the mortality rate of infants is very high, and the death of the elderly The rate is also very high, and those who are enthroned are all young and middle-aged with combat effectiveness or productivity.
Correcting the discrepancy in understanding, Wu Zhongyuan was stunned. He was stunned not because he was a big Wu and didn't know how many clansmen he had, but when Wu Di and him estimated the number of rice grain shortages, it was established On the basis of only counting young and middle-aged people, the elderly and children are not counted.
The previous estimate with Wu Di was that after receiving the 50,000 catties of fish and rice grains supported by the Yi people, the bear clan's rice grain shortage was still about 200,000 yuan. Wu Qin and Jiang Dahua and Li Wanzi each contributed 10,000 yuan. Minshan animals can get 30,000 catties of meat, and if the fox clan supports another 50,000, there will be a gap of 90,000.
90,000 is enough for him to worry about. If you include the elderly and children, the gap will be even bigger, so big that he can't raise enough to run and break his leg. No matter how hard he tries, the bear clan will eventually starve to death people.
How can this happen?
Worry returns to worry, depression returns to depression, when you think about it carefully, this is also in line with the current situation at this time. You must know that starvation to death was a common thing in the feudal dynasties, and it was only in the late 1980s in our country that the people were completely solved. food and clothing issues.
How to make up for such a big gap?
But there was no time for him to be depressed and worried. It didn't take long for Yuci to send someone to report. Because the surrounding city was flooded by sea water before, the road out of the city was muddy and deep, and it was impossible to carry heavy vehicles and horses.
I heard someone report that Wu Zhongyuan and Li Wanzi left the palace and went out to check.
Everything has priority and priority. We will talk about the issue of food and grass later. The most urgent task is to send everyone out of Weicheng first...
