i have a mythical tree

Meng Gui looked at the mask that was still dripping with rancid juice, and said, "The intention of the lord of the country is to make me a native of Zhou Qing, kill the Dafu person who oversees the work on Chiyan Mountain, and blame Zhou Qing?"

Ji Xia nodded and said, "That's right, after you succeeded in killing, you turned into a quagmire and escaped. The follow-up matters will be handled by me."

Meng Gui pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Who should I become? Have I captured the right person?"

Ji Xia replied: "I sent Yin Ding to the edge of Cangqing Mountain before, and captured a hunter Zhou Qing in the deep mountains. He lives alone in the jungle, and now he is imprisoned in the deepest part of the dark prison, guarded by Yin Ding himself, except for me. Other than that, no one knows about it."

Meng Gui nodded sullenly and said, "Since the country lord has carefully considered it, Meng Gui naturally has no problem."

Ji Xia frowned and said, "You have to think clearly. I'm not forcing you. If you don't want to, I will definitely not force you. If it's a big deal, think of a solution."

Meng Gui shook his head and said, "I have now learned the Dark Dust Manifestation Technique, which is only inherited from Zhou Qingguo. If I take the appearance of a Zhou Qingguo, and then use the Dark Dust Manifestation Technique, even if Dafu people are more powerful , it is impossible to see through, I go is the best choice, if you find another person, it will take a lot of time."

Indeed, Meng Gui's cultivation base is extremely high, eighth heaven realm, people whose cultivation base is on the same level as him, or even higher than him, are not as suitable as him.

Yin Ding has no spiritual essence, and Ji Xia has also seriously considered Ji Qianqing. With her cultivation, she can definitely complete the task, but Ji Qianqing is the general of a country. If it disappears suddenly, it will have a huge impact on the morale of the army.

As for Po Xian, when Ji Xia wanted to find someone to practice Dark Dust Manifestation, he didn't think of this person at all.

"But wearing this mask, strictly speaking, you are no longer a human race. Your face, body, blood will become exactly the same as those of Zhou Qingguo, and your body will exude a stench..."

"His Royal Highness, why do you think I'm a human race?" Meng Gui interrupted Ji Xia's words rarely, and said quietly, the words made Ji Xia's body tremble.

Meng Gui slowly took off his mask, and Ji Xia was shocked to see the scene under Meng Gui's mask.

I saw the face of a ghost, which was divided into two halves from the middle of the bridge of the nose, and the upper part was the same as a normal person.

And down the bridge of the nose, the flesh suddenly thins, and then there are white bones, and the neck down is also white bones!

"Only one-third of my body is covered with skin, and the rest is bone."

"Lord, I'm not a human race, I'm a half-bone race..."

Chapter 30 Production cuts

The soldiers of the Cang Shou Army have been practicing diligently for more than ten days. The effect of Tailai Lingshui has gradually begun to show. A few soldiers with high cultivation talent have broken through a realm, and those with poor cultivation talent have also laid a solid foundation. Breaking through the realm is not far behind.

As the lord of Tai Cang, Ji Xia was very happy with this change. He went to the military camp with Po Xian and Ji Qianqing many times to reward the soldiers who practiced fast.

He issued a decree that as long as there are soldiers who can break through the realm, they can get a lot of food-within three months, the whole family will have three meals a day.

So the Cang Shou army soldiers became more diligent and practiced almost day and night, hoping to earn enough food for their family.

According to Tai Cang's current standard of living, even if there is a Tai Cang sergeant at home and a stipend to receive, there is no guarantee that there will be two full meals a day to eat, let alone a full meal.

Food in March, or the full amount of three meals a day?

I am afraid that this kind of treatment is only available to senior officials of Tai Cang. If you don't cherish the opportunity, you can only regret it when you starve next time.

"The lord, Dr. Nong is here."

Today, Ji Xia is looking at the acres of fields behind Tai Cang City from a distance, and busy figures are harvesting rice on the fields.

A sturdy young man beside him bowed and passed the message. This young man was Jing Ye who fought side by side with Ji Xia a few days ago and met by chance in Nanqing Alley.

A few days ago, Ji Xia was inspecting the barracks, and had already served as Jing Ye in the army by chance. Because of his outstanding strength, Jing Ye was appointed as the minister of life and commanded 500 people because of his meritorious service in protecting the country's lord in the last war.

When Ji Xia saw Jing Ye, he suddenly thought that he didn't have a trusted confidant of his age and had been tested, so he asked Jing Ye if he was willing to give up the position of Ming Qing and serve as the lord of the country in the royal court.

Jing Ye did not hesitate, and immediately took off the Mingqing token and bowed.

In the next few days, Jing Ye would often follow Ji Xia's side, doing some communication, reporting, and guarding matters.

"Chen Gushu, see the country lord." A middle-aged man bowed and saluted Ji Xia.

Ji Xia gestured for him to waive the gift and asked, "Dr. Nong, a minister reported that the grain production of Tai Cang this season has dropped by as much as [-]%. Can you find the reason?"

Gu Shu looked a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and said: "Dr. Nong is ashamed of Tai Cang, for so many days, Chen and several colleagues have been researching day and night, and found that there are no problems with soil, water quality, and sun exposure, nor is it It is man-made destruction, but the grain production is indeed reduced by [-]% and [-]%, I don’t know the reason, and I ask the Lord to punish it.”

Ji Xia frowned. Food was Tai Cang's top priority. Apart from the fertile fields behind Taicheng, Tai Cang had no source of food at all.

There are very few aquatic products in the Haixiu River, and food cannot be grown in the Gobi and dense forests. If the army goes to these places to hunt, there will be huge casualties, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Therefore, three crops a year, each with a yield of [-] catties per mu, has become a vital grain production area for Tai Cang.

"There are very few fields next to Taicheng, only 1 mu of land. Even if these fields are infiltrated by the spirit of heaven and earth, one mu of land can produce a total of [-] jin of grain three times a year, which is still too little for Tai Cang."

"Because there are more than [-] people in Taicheng to feed, if it weren't for Cangcheng's management, I'm afraid the people would not be able to eat two meals of rice porridge a day. Now the third mature grain has decreased so much, my wife What will the citizens of the city do? How will they spend the day? Will they eat soil?"

Ji Xia's voice was very stern, because food was really too important to Tai Cang.

Although he has the Treasure Vase of Ten Thousand Grains that he exchanged last time, he is still not sure how much the Treasure Vase of Ten Thousand Grains will yield from the divine tree, nor does he know if the only one hundred spirit crystals in the treasury are enough. Not enough food bottle to swallow.

More importantly, he originally planned to keep this treasure bottle and use it after the sunset, so that the people of Tai Cang could reduce some fear in the dark.

Therefore, the grain output of Taicang fields is only more important than the increase in military strength. If the dove dogs have not come over, the Dafu powerhouse has not planned to destroy Taicang, and the people of Taicang will starve to death first. Also too frustrating.

"Please forgive the lord of the country, Gu Shu will call all the farmers in the farmer's house to study it day and night, and you will surely gain something within a month."

"Let's speed up the progress. The third cropping period has passed, and the grain harvest has almost been completed. This reduction in production is irreversible, but this must not happen in the first cropping period next year. No matter what, if the grain production continues to decrease next year, you will Thank you so much."

"I understand."

Dr. Nong's face was desolate and his heart was sad, not because of Ji Xia's cold words, but because he was worried that the reduction in land production would inevitably cause many Taicang people to starve to death, unable to survive the day.

Ji Xia is also very worried. It has been more than a month since he came to the Boundless Wilderness, and the stillness of the sun will come before three months. The scene of the stillness in his mind is very barren, but even if he has no such memory, he can Imagine the horror of the dead.

The three sun stars all sank and no longer rises. The earth is shrouded in thick darkness, the wind and snow are raging, and the cold will not fade. All vegetation and poultry will die, and the humble human race has nothing to do.

This is also the reason why the Taicang population has not developed. Even in the peaceful era, after a long period of cultivation and recuperation, the population has finally grown, and after a day of silence, it will be beaten back to its original shape.

"As a boundless and savage creature, I'm really desperate." Ji Xia smiled bitterly in his heart.

Just like Tai Cang, the first thing you have to face is the double catastrophe of food shortage and the loneliness of the sun. If you can survive these catastrophes, then there will be a series of catastrophes such as natural disasters, beasts running rampant, and continuous wars waiting for you.

"It's just hell mode." The young king sighed.

Seeing Ji Xia sighing, Jing Ye sighed in his heart, and said: "The country's lord, the grain production has been greatly reduced, should the army reduce the diet, and should the previous reward system be cancelled? The army has always been consumption If the bulk of the food can be saved from the army, there will be fewer deaths in the dead of sun."

Ji Xia shook his head and said, "No, if it was an era without war, Tai Cang was facing such a dilemma, and it would not be a bad idea to save some from the army, but now that many wars are imminent, if the rations of the soldiers are deducted at this time, they will be punished. Their combat power has a huge impact, and the morale that has just become high will also fall back, and the gains outweigh the losses."

He looked at the bright clouds in the sky from a distance and said, "If you lose some food, some people will die in the sun, but if you are defeated in battle, the entire Taicang will perish."

Jing Ye was thoughtful, and Ji Xia said, "Do you think I'm too cold-blooded?"

Jing Ye bowed his head and said, "As the lord of the country, he naturally has to coordinate the overall situation. He can't just see the gains and losses in front of us like ordinary people like us."

Ji Xia said with a smile: "In the past, you looked righteous, how did you learn to flatter me?"
