Lord of the People: Start a Super Gold Mine

After the border war ended, Jiang Ting returned to Jiangcheng with an army of more than [-], and calm was restored in the territory.

In the following days, Jiang Ting was busy rebuilding his home, and before he knew it, it was early summer.

In the past two or three months, the cities of Jiangcheng, Caocheng, Anping, and Tongliao have all been rebuilt one after another, and the current focus is on Jiangzhou, which is the former southern Xinjiang.

Due to the shrinking of the map, what Jiangzhou can recover now is about three counties and sixteen cities.

Even so, with Jiang Guo's current manpower, it may be difficult to restore it before the autumn harvest.

The rebuilt city no longer had the sense of grandeur and majesty it used to describe as a concentration camp. The height of the city wall was less than five meters, and all kinds of buildings were shoddy.

At present, there are only tile-roofed houses, a medical center, a blacksmith shop, a tailor shop, and four markets in Jiangcheng.

The props in the previous game have changed drastically. For example, the architectural drawing of Yingchuan College is now a detailed architectural drawing.

Jiang Ting can completely build Yingchuan Academy according to this structural diagram, and the effect in the game should still be there. After all, Jiang Wu's soldiers are like this. There are not only blueprints, but also detailed training plans.

So these props have not lost their original functions, but just changed their way of existence.

It's a pity that whether it's Yingchuan College or Jiang Wu's training camp, a lot of manpower and material resources have to be invested. Although the construction of Jiangting has already started, the official completion time may have to wait until the beginning of next spring.

Perhaps it is because of surviving a catastrophe, there must be future blessings. The East China Sea has always been very smooth. Gan Ning does not go far every time. Even if he fishes in the shallow sea, the food he brings back is completely enough for the residents of Jiang Country to live on.

The only problem now is that the common people eat fish and shrimp every day, lack of staple food, and a small number of people have already suffered from anorexia.

This is because Zhuge Liang prepared in advance, sorting all the fish, shrimp, crab and turtle, and making them into different dishes, which has barely survived until now.

Jiang Ting has no better way, so he can only procrastinate like this. Anyway, in this world, it is lucky not to starve to death, so how can he pay so much attention?
Besides, he is already vigorously planting fruits and vegetables.

Although there were many types of vegetables in ancient times, in the current world, it is really difficult to find many seeds. Jiang Ting can grow vegetables, thanks to Li Qingchan, because she left a vegetable garden before.

Although it was still destroyed by natural disasters in the end, Jiangcheng did not suffer from war, but was destroyed after the map was shrunk.

This vegetable garden has been carefully taken care of by Diaochan, Cai Wenji and the others, and it has been preserved fairly intact, so Jiang Ting was lucky enough to keep the seeds of the three vegetables.

They are okra, winter melon and water spinach. Water spinach is actually water spinach, but the modern and ancient names are different.

It's a pity that the number of seeds is too small. Jiang Ting has not been able to fully promote it for a while, so he can only find some modern people who can do farm work from Jiang Meng to help him create a modern greenhouse.

Greenhouse planting can be done regardless of the season, and this is the only value brought to him by the players under his command so far.

There are only 3 or [-] people alive in Jiangmeng. These players are not as labor-intensive as the ancients, but their thinking is very advanced and active, so modern people also have the advantages of modern people.

Jiang Ting does not reject players at all now, but thinks that the more the better, because it is no longer a game, they have no chance to start over, without Jiang Ting's blessing, those casual players with no background and influence like them, in fact It is difficult to survive in this troubled world.

They themselves are very aware of this, so many former players no longer simply admire Jiang Ting, but now they are more in awe.

Because Jiang Ting holds the power of life and death for them.

Closer to home, although greenhouses can increase production, it may take a long time to spread to the entire Jiang country.

Fortunately, Jiang Ting has thought of many ways, such as shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and fungus, which are easy to feed, and he has been vigorously cultivating them. They are also grown in greenhouses, and most of the fungus vegetables have excellent reproductive ability. As long as Jiang Ting can find some other vegetables and plant them together, the people of Jiang Country will be able to eat fresh fruits and vegetables for at most one year.

The only thing that makes Jiang Ting regret is that he doesn't have sweet potatoes and potato seeds. These things are definitely strategic materials, and it is estimated that they will not easily flow out from the west.

With these two things in the Western powers, most people should be able to pass through the reconstruction period smoothly, even rising faster than the Eastern powers!
After all, in troubled times, having food means having population and land.

With enough food in hand, you can attract more people to work for you.

However, Jiang Ting didn't think that the East was worse. The five grains are the essence of China, and basically every household has stocks of the five grains. After the fusion of reality, even if there is a severe drought, modern people will not be like ancient people. Completely at a loss, relying on the sky to eat.

It's another day of fishing. Although there are many affairs in Jiang State, but with Zhuge Liang and Wu Zetian around, Jiang Ting is completely a bastard. Once something really finds him, it will definitely be a big deal, so every day he messes around , Jiang Guo is considered a peaceful day.

Back in the harem, Jiang Ting enjoyed the emperor's treatment with a satisfied face, hesitating who to talk to tonight, inadvertently, from the corner of his eyes, he could see the absent-minded performance of the girls, which made him very keenly aware The atmosphere is a little weird.

"What happened?"

Jiang Ting put down the bowl and chopsticks, and asked a faint question.

"Your Majesty... Sister Yan is happy!"

Diao Chan and Cai Wenji are the closest, when she heard Jiang Ting's question, she blushed and explained.

As for Cai Wenji, she just held her stomach and lowered her head, not daring to look at Jiang Ting.

"Are you... happy?"

Jiang Ting was completely stunned, he was going to be a father so soon?

He admitted that he was really panicked.

"Cough, Yan'er, you stay here for a while."

Jiang Ting coughed pretending to be calm, and was so absent-minded after eating the meal.

After the girls left one after another, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Cai Wenji, and helped her to sit on the bed, his brows were full of concern: "How... how many months?"

"Sister Cicada invited the doctor over today, and she said it has been two months."

Cai Wenji lowered her head, her eyes filled with maternal love.

"Good guy!"

Jiang Ting rubbed his hands together, quickly put his ears on Cai Wenji's lower abdomen, then frowned and said, "There's nothing going on?"

"It's only... just two months, and it hasn't developed yet."

Cai Wenji blushed and explained in a low voice.

"Hey, okay, I'm also a new father, so I really don't understand this."

Jiang Ting smiled brightly, lying on the bed, unable to sleep anyway, the complicated mood, probably only he himself can understand.

In a daze, Jiang Ting finally fell asleep.

He had a dream. In the dream, Li Qingchan was smiling and waving at him, but suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and her whole body turned into a cloud of smoke, and just disappeared before his eyes.

In a panic, Jiang Ting sat up all of a sudden, the room was pitch black, only a little moonlight came through the window sill, Cai Wenji was also awakened by him, hurriedly got up, and patted his back softly.

"Things are different, people are different, good luck makes people, if there is a day to meet again, maybe she will still be the same her, but I will no longer be the same me."

Jiang Ting took a deep breath, then shook his head and stopped talking.

He suddenly remembered a story about a young couple who completely lost contact because of an accident. When they met again, they were both very old.

But the lives of the two are completely different. The girl is never married, and the boy's son is Sun Mantang.

But Jiang Ting is no longer an ordinary person after all, he can no longer choose Li Qingchan firmly, because he knows very well that the fate of every woman in the family is firmly tied to him.

After the fusion of reality, his ambitions and desires have gradually been exposed.

This is the real person.

Power, status, beauty...

Ninety-nine out of ten people who say they don't like it are hypocrites!
And when you have the ability to get it, and when you don't have the ability to get it, there are completely two kinds of mentality.

When he is unable to get it, some people speak uprightly, and some say duplicity, and he can even convince himself.

But once it is really at your fingertips, when even the world can't restrain you, maybe there really is that kind of great man who can stick to it forever.

But such people are definitely rare, and obviously, Jiang Ting is not among them.

This summer, Jiang Guodu was fairly peaceful.

Finally, it's autumn, and Jiang Ting can officially expand outside the country as soon as the grain is harvested.

In the past six months, many people died of starvation. Once they leave Niutoushan, corpses can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

Jiang Ting still sent people to clean up every now and then, but there were still countless refugees who starved to death.

After cleaning up one batch, another batch popped up.

This is the year of catastrophe.

Calculated, during this period of time, Jiang Ting has accepted another 30 refugees, and the population of the territory has already approached the 150 million mark.

This is already the limit he can accept. After the autumn harvest, he may be able to accept about 50 refugees, but this should be the last time.

The forces capable of accepting them will definitely accept a group of refugees after the autumn harvest. As for the rest, it is basically impossible to survive the next cold winter.

Some people may say, anyway, the autumn harvest is coming soon, why not accept it now?
It's very simple, one day earlier, one more day's worth of food will be consumed, it's cruel, but it's also very realistic.

The reason why Jiang Ting accepted another 30 refugees in the summer was simply because he wanted to expand his army and prepare for the war against the Liujin Dynasty, but he didn't have enough manpower.

As time passed, the entire Jiang country became completely busy, and the people were harvesting wheat ears in the fields with joyful smiles on their faces.

It may be that fortune and misfortune depend on each other. After the catastrophe, the weather has been smooth this year, so Jiang Guo's harvest is still gratifying.

In addition to the daily needs of the people, there are about 160 million shi of grain accumulated in the treasury, which is about 2000 million catties.

It sounds like a lot, but in fact, 2000 million catties of grain is enough to feed 30 troops for two or three months.

Of course, this is the harvest after getting rid of the people's own share and the grain. This is only the first year, and the grain that can be planted is limited. It is actually quite good to have this harvest.

The winter was cold and it was not suitable for combat, but Jiang Ting didn't want to wait for the Liujin Dynasty to recover, so just after the autumn harvest, he assembled 20 soldiers and horses to take down the Liujin Dynasty in one fell swoop.

His current army has expanded to 55. Except for the Qinglong Army, the other four legions have expanded to [-]. After half a year of running-in training, they are basically qualified now.

The remaining [-] are all special arms.

There are [-] soldiers of Jiang Wu, but the barracks of Jiang Wu's soldiers has just been built, and in a short time, this army will not be ready for use.

The White Robe Army has also expanded to 1 people, the Wudang Flying Army has 5 people, and Bawang Cavalry and Baima Yicong each account for 5000 people.

There is still a difference between special arms and ordinary troops, because the special arms are too powerful, which leads to a very long running-in period for new recruits.

For example, the current White Robe Army has a combat effectiveness of 1 people, but it is not stronger than when it had 5000 people, and may even be slightly inferior.

They need to go through the baptism of many times of war and survive smoothly before they can completely complete this transformation.

Therefore, although special arms can be supplemented, the difficulty of training is also very high, and it is basically difficult to achieve mass production in a short period of time.

The main players in this battle against the Liujin Dynasty are Bai Qi's Phoenix Army and Ran Min's Qilin Army.

Jiang Ting was a support player on the fringes, and he only brought Bawang cavalry and Baima Yi with him.

Of course, in every battle, the White Robe Army and the Wudang Flying Army will definitely be on the field, whether it is pressing the formation or making a surprise attack, Jiang Ting basically doesn't care, and Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui are free to play.

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass will go first.

Under Bai Qi's suggestion, it was Wudang Feijun who was responsible for escorting the food and grass.

Now it is no different than before, food and grass are the most important thing, and there can be no accidents, and this important task, Wudang Flying Army is indeed the most suitable choice.

All the way to Yangzhou, Jiang Ting also received information from Jia Xu, and the Jinyiwei who had been dispatched for a long time had already fully figured out the general situation of the Liujin Dynasty.

The lord of the Liujin Dynasty, named Zheng Wuxian, owns the three major states of Liuzhou, Jinzhou, and Zhengzhou. He has 20 troops under his command, [-] of which are newly recruited.

Zhang Beizhi, the most powerful general of the Liujin Dynasty, has already surrendered to Jiang Guo, and now the only one who can make a move is Zheng Wuxian’s cousin Huang Da. !
Zhang Beizhi is still very powerful, and those who can compete with Han Xin are naturally not ordinary people, so this Huang Da should not be underestimated, otherwise if the boat capsizes in the gutter, the fun will be great.

Han Xin was still the commander-in-chief, but he was very calm. He fought steadily all the way, and when he entered the border of Jinzhou, he stopped at one end.

And the Liujin Dynasty had already reacted. When Han Xin was still in Yangzhou, he mobilized [-] soldiers and horses to guard Jinzhou City.
