Lord of the People: Start a Super Gold Mine

At the beginning of spring, everything revives.

The two months of hard work were not in vain. Jiangcheng has been initially repaired, and the necessary buildings and the collapsed city walls have all been rebuilt.

Of course, these buildings no longer have the original game bonuses, and good fortune and bad fortune depend on each other. Because everything has become real, many restrictions that originally existed in the game have now been cancelled.

For example, special units such as the White Robe Army, Jiang Wu's Pawns, and Overlord's Iron Cavalry can all be trained in batches. Veterans lead recruits, and after a long period of training, a batch of new special units can be cultivated.

It's a pity that the stronger the unit, the longer it takes to train, the longer the running-in period, and the more resources it needs to consume.

Jiang Ting has no shortage of gold and silver treasures, but the only thing he lacks now is food.

The catastrophe of Shenzhou caused buildings to be destroyed and farmland to be abandoned. Gold, silver and treasures were of no use to the major forces in a short period of time.

Only when the transaction resumes, the remaining 50 billion gold in Jiang Ting's hands can come in handy.

Food is the most needed resource at this stage. No one would be foolish enough to exchange precious food for useless gold and silver at this time.

Jiang Ting took stock of Jiang Guo's current situation.

Because of the natural danger of Niutou Mountain, Jiangcheng was not baptized by the flames of war, it just collapsed under the ravages of natural disasters, and all kinds of materials are still there, so it doesn't take much trouble to restore it.

But other cities are much more serious.

It may take a long time to restore the glory of the past.

On the other side of the desert grassland, the Isan tribe used to raise millions of cattle and sheep, but last year, the war raged, and in the end there were only less than 50 head of livestock left. Now they have sent another 20 head. In a short period of time, they can maintain themselves Her life is pretty good, it's hard to help Jiang Ting anymore.

20 head of cattle and sheep sounds like a lot, but Jiang Guo still has 90 people and 35 soldiers. This little food, even if they drink soup every now and then, will not be able to sustain the autumn harvest at all.

As for stored food?
Not to mention, after struggling to survive the catastrophe for a whole year, the little food stored in the Jiangcheng granary had already been eaten up.

If it wasn't for relying on the cattle and sheep of the Yisan tribe and robbing the resources of other tribes in the later stage, Jiang Ting wouldn't be able to survive at all, so where would there be left?
The biggest dilemma Jiang Ting is facing now is how to survive until the autumn harvest. Once the chestnut rice and wheat are ripe, the food problem will be solved slowly.

In the city lord's mansion, Wu Zetian, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Fazheng and other civil officials stood on the left, and Huo Qubing, Ran Min, Xue Rengui, Sun Ce, Bai Qi, Yue Fei and other generals stood on the right. this problem.

"How long can the livestock sent by the Yisan tribe last?"

Jiang Ting reclined on the dragon chair, his eyes full of sorrow.

The catastrophe of China, the destruction of all nations, and now the whole world is full of refugees who can't eat enough. Among those dynasties that were destroyed, many soldiers or people who survived also chose to become bandits and rob food.

What Jiang Ting wants is not to barely survive, what he wants is to store enough food so that he can take in the refugees as soon as possible, subdue the bandits, and let the strength of the territory rise to a higher level.

He knew that big bosses like Yingzheng Li Shimin would definitely choose to do the same. You must know that these refugees and bandits are extremely precious populations!

With the population, he can survive better in this troubled world!
"I have sent a large number of people to pick wild vegetables, mix them with cattle and sheep to make broth, and a catty of meat can feed ten people for a day. Even so, the people in the territory have to eat 10,000+ every day catties of meat.

"The 20 cattle and sheep averaged over a hundred catties, and they could only last three months at most."

Xun Yu took a step forward, cupped his hands and replied.

Jiang Ting's brows immediately frowned even deeper. A catty of meat, divided into soup for ten people, could only survive for three months!
This way of eating should be fine for ten days and a half months, but after a long time, the common people will definitely not be able to hold on, and it would be good if they can barely survive, so where is there any labor force to speak of?

"Your Majesty, if it's really not possible, let the brothers go hunting in the mountains. There are so many wild animals in the mountains, and I will definitely be able to manage them for a while!"

Sun Ce said with an aggrieved face.

When had Jiang Guo been so down and out?
To worry about a little food...

"Large-scale hunting, wild animals in the mountains will definitely escape into the depths, or leave the mountain directly, and small-scale hunting will not help at all. This move may not have much effect."

Fazheng shook his head slightly.

After Nanli surrendered, Changsun Fu took the initiative to release him, so he had saved his life.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, if you want to solve the problem of food and grass, you may have to venture out to sea."

Zhuge Liang sighed and said something.

Going to sea to fish is the fastest way to solve the food shortage problem, but the danger is also very huge.

When the warships at Duanmei Wharf were intact, they didn't dare to sail into the sea easily, let alone most of them have been scrapped now?

Even if it is repaired, it must be extremely dangerous after going to sea. One mistake may cause the entire army to be wiped out.

"Your Majesty, the last is willing to go!"

When Gan Ning heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, he stood up and said with fists clasped heavily.

"Xingba, how many brothers are left in the Xuanwu Army?"

Jiang Ting looked at Gan Ning, this year, the irritable Gan Xingba has become much more stable.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are 820 people left."

Gan Ning blurted out without thinking.

Of the 50 Xuanwu Army, there are now only a mere 6 left. It is no wonder that Gan Ning remembers it so clearly.

Jiang Ting wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

This is no longer a game. Every one of the fallen soldiers is a living person with flesh and blood.

"Please, Xingba."

Jiang Ting didn't know how many of the [-] Xuanwu soldiers would survive if they went to sea frequently, but he knew that he had to take the risk.

"Young general, I will live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Gan Ning's expression was serious, he immediately knelt down on one knee, bowed solemnly, and then walked out of the City Lord's Mansion without looking back.

"It's all gone, I'm also a little tired."

Jiang Ting lost the intention to continue the meeting, and Gan Ning's departure was unpredictable, and he didn't know whether his decision was correct.

Back in the harem, Jiang Ting was tossing and turning on the bed, and it happened that there was a melodious piano sound coming from the yard, so he simply put on his coat and walked in the direction of the piano sound.

In the courtyard, Cai Wenji was sitting in the middle of the gazebo, playing a piece of music attentively, while Sun Shangxiang was holding a wooden gun, and was fighting fiercely with the flower garland.

Zhu Rong was on the sidelines, and Diao Chan was sitting next to Cai Wenji, watching the two girls compete in boredom.

Wang Zhaojun was hiding in the corner holding a book, and Zhen Ji was sitting next to her, talking in a low voice.

Yingying Yanyan, it's so lively.

"Stop the fight! Your Majesty is coming!"

"oops……"

"Concubine waits to see His Majesty!"

Seeing these girls flustered and bowing their heads shyly, Jiang Ting instantly felt a lot better.

This year, he has been too depressed.

The more depressed you are, the more precious the short-lived beauty in front of you becomes.

"You guys continue."

By coincidence, Jiang Ting picked up Sun Shangxiang, who was at the front, and walked straight into his room...

"???"

Sun Shangxiang was leaning in Jiang Ting's arms with a dazed expression on her face, and the expressions of the other women were not much better.

"ah!"

Diao Chan was the first to react, then hurriedly covered her small mouth, blushing and ran away.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the girls looked at me and I looked at you, and then they all blushed and fled back to their rooms.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

In the bedroom, Sun Shangxiang's tender body trembled, and she buried her head in Jiang Ting's arms, not daring to move.

This year, too many life and death, let Jiang Ting see many things clearly, no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or accident.

His current thoughts are very simple, why do he care so much?Just live well, and try to be nice to those around you, other things are not that important at all.

The night was hazy and starry.

Accompanied by a painful moan, even the crescent moon in the sky ran into the clouds shyly.

At noon the next day, Jiang Ting opened his eyes in a daze. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful face in his eyes, and there was still a trace of fatigue between his brows.

Jiang Ting smiled lightly, then leaned over and kissed Sun Shangxiang's forehead lightly. After admiring it for a while, he walked out of the room lightly, completely oblivious to Sun Shangxiang's slightly trembling eyelashes.

At Broken Eyebrow Wharf, Jiang Ting got off his horse and looked at the acres of fertile land in front of him, with a gratified smile on his face.

The emerald green buds are exuding a strong vitality, swaying slightly with the spring breeze, and they are so beautiful.

The pier has basically been rebuilt, and the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army are busy back and forth on the pier shirtless.

Gan Ning has already taken people out to sea in batches, no one knows if they will encounter danger, in the vast sea, any accident can really happen.

After Jiangcheng was rebuilt, Tongliao, Caocheng, and Anping gradually began to be rebuilt. However, due to the severe shortage of food, the progress seemed extremely slow.

People can't eat enough, so they can't work hard.

His only hope now is all on the head of the Xuanwu Army. As long as everything goes well for them, Jiang Guo will be able to survive this difficult period of reconstruction.

So Jiang Ting came to Duanmei Wharf early in the morning and waited quietly, and inspected the farming progress here by the way.

After waiting, I waited until the sunset on the western mountain.

"Look! It's our warship!"

"The general is back! The general is back!"

"Brothers, don't be dazed, hurry up and help!"

"My God! So many fish! A boat full of fish! Finally we don't have to go hungry!"

There was a flutter of chickens and dogs jumping on the pier.

Gan Ning returned smoothly, but his face was not very good-looking.

A total of seven ships went out to sea, but only six came back. The first time they went out to sea, did one sink?

"Your Majesty, the last general, luckily he did not disgrace his life!"

Gan Ning walked to Jiang Ting's side, looking extremely tired.

"Thank you! What happened?"

Jiang Ting patted Gan Ning's shoulder, didn't say anything provocative, just asked calmly.

This year, too many people have died, and I have seen a lot, so my mentality will naturally be different.

At least he will not show his emotions easily, because he knows that he is the backbone of the Jiang country, and his every move will affect all the people of the Jiang country.

"A ship crashed into a reef and sank, but the rescue was timely, and the casualties of the soldiers were not large."

Gan Ning replied with a sigh.

"The sea is like this. Whether it is deep sea or shallow sea, there are unexpected dangers."

"We must not go to the deep sea now. When you go out to sea, even if you don't get anything, you must not go too far. Otherwise, once you encounter large marine life, you will really be wiped out."

"Although dangerous marine life such as sharks can also appear in shallow seas, the chances of this are much smaller."

Jiang Ting didn't know much about Haiyang, so he could only tell Gan Ning everything he knew.

"There's no need to go to the deep sea. We probably won't be able to catch all the fish in the shallow sea. We'll return with a full load if we catch them with just one net!"

Speaking of this, Gan Ning was quite excited, Jiang Ting was also taken aback by this, and then he was relieved.

This is ancient times, the ocean has not been conquered, and the resources in the sea have not been collected. Even in shallow seas, all kinds of fish are probably densely packed. No wonder the harvest is so rich!

This is probably the first good news that Jiang Ting has heard since the fusion of reality.

"Okay, I'll go back right away and ask Wen Ruo to come over and count the harvest this time. By the way, Xingba, every time you go out to sea, remember to have someone draw the route. Where there are many fish and where there is danger, try to mark it. This way we can avoid those dangerous places next time.”

Jiang Ting instructed Gan Ning according to the experience left by his predecessors.

Then he took away a big turtle. Gan Ning's success made him feel good, and at the same time, he saw the hope of rising again.

As soon as he returned to the harem, Jiang Ting saw a group of girls chattering around Sun Shangxiang, but just after he entered the door, the group of girls fell silent, not knowing what they were discussing.

Anyway, Jiang Ting only vaguely heard them talking about making Sun Shangxiang drink more soup or something like that.

As for Sun Shangxiang, although this girl is carefree on weekdays, she is like a good baby today, blushing and listening quietly.

"What are you talking about so happily?"

Jiang Ting dropped the turtle on the ground, then asked with a chuckle.

"No...it's nothing, Your Majesty, has General Gan returned from the sea?"

Diao Chan seemed to change the topic calmly, but Jiang Ting still noticed the shyness flashing in her eyes.

What are these girls muttering behind their backs?

Jiang Ting shook his head slightly, and didn't bother to care about their small thoughts. He just stretched out his hand and picked up the turtle's tail, and then said with a slight smile: "Today, I will cook by myself, and I will let you taste the authentic thousand-year-old bastard soup!"

"I don't dare! Your Majesty, a gentleman is far away from the kitchen. You are the lord of a country, with a body of ten thousand gold, how can you do this kind of work? Let's do it!"

"Yeah yeah! It's against the rules."

Seeing the terrified expressions of the goddesses, Jiang Ting was really speechless. The ancients were too conservative, but thinking about it, women in ancient times, even ordinary people, would not let their husbands into the kitchen, let alone he is an emperor...

"Stop talking too much! Here, my rules are the rules!"

Jiang Ting is rarely in a good mood, and just wants to reward himself by cooking a delicious meal, so why would he care what they say?
Seeing that they couldn't resist Jiang Ting, the girls could only close the door hastily and let him go.

This day is definitely the happiest day Jiang Ting has spent in the past year. Once the food problem is solved, he is confident that he will recover in the shortest possible time.

Regardless of how many people died in Shenzhou, in fact, with the shrinking of the map, the population of this world is definitely much more than that of the game world!

Moreover, most of the surviving forces are not good. It can be said that future wars will only be more cruel than those in the game world!
Jiang Ting wants to compete with those sons of destiny from all dynasties and generations, it is tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife, if he is not careful, the country will be ruined and his family will be destroyed.
