This King Zhou is not stupid

"It's Chaoge's Tianbu monks. They wear uniform uniforms, so it's impossible not to recognize them." Xiqi's monk answered truthfully.

"It really is so!!!"

Guang Chengzi probably also guessed that it was the monks from Chaoge's side who attacked, and even the report of the messenger said that the monks attacked Xiqi.

"Okay, if Chaoge takes the initiative to act, then monk Xiqi can also be sent. Even if he sends the immortal family to help out, Chaoge can't say anything."

Guang Chengzi sneered, with the help of the immortal family, it would be much easier to fight this battle.

This is especially true when Xiqi is behind Tianting.

"Send down the order to regroup and attack Sishui Pass in three days."

"That..." the civil servant in charge of the warehouse said in embarrassment, "I'm afraid it won't work."

"Why?" Guang Chengzi asked hastily.

"Most of the materials that were burned were flammable grain and cotton clothes. There are not many left now, and I am afraid it will not be enough to support another eastward expedition." The civil official replied.

"That's not easy. A batch was transferred from the stocks of the major princes in Xiqi, which is enough for the Eastern Expedition."

"Actually, I have already asked the princes before you returned, but..."

The civil official said with a distressed face: "The two hundred princes around Xiqi and their families have been invited by the Ministry of Heaven to go to Chaoge. Except for Xibohou, the other princes of Xiqi are not in their territory."

Guang Chengzi's eyes widened suddenly, and he took a step back.

"This..."

After thinking for a few seconds, he already knew what happened.

At this time, Xiqi is like a tree, all the roots except the main root have been cut off, and the nutrients are not enough to supply the tree to grow again.

This move is called 'encircling the city from the countryside'.

Di Xin's move prevented Xiqi from going east for a short period of time, not to mention that monks can live without food, but monks still need other resources to cultivate, such as spiritual grass, elixir, magic weapon, magic weapon, and the cultivation of the three monks. Salary expenses, family support, etc., which one should not spend money.

I am not afraid of anything when I spend money, but I am afraid that I will not be able to buy it.

There is only so much grain produced, and every household has to keep surplus grain for the winter, and it is impossible to sell all of it. I have already bought a batch before, and there may be very little grain on the market.

"No, no, no, this is really bad."

Guang Chengzi was very flustered, there was no way to raise troops without food, and the current food might only be enough for Xi Qi to digest internally.

That is to say...

Guang Chengzi's face turned pale. He never thought that Di Xin would have such a trick. Ordinary people's way of thinking is not so tricky. Di Xin didn't lobby the princes, but directly invited people to Chaoge!

"This is clearly house arrest!"

Shen Gongbao complained next to him: "Brother, we should take people to rescue the two hundred princes immediately!!!"

"That...it's really not under house arrest." The civil servant next to him said again: "It seems that the king discovered a way to grow vegetables in winter, so he invited all the princes around Xiqi away, and there are other six people from all walks of life. The same is true for hundreds of princes."

Shen Gongbao was in a hurry.

"Then isn't this aimed at us, what is Xiqi? There is even more reason to fight Yin Shang!"

The civil official murmured in his heart: "It seems that I didn't fight before I said it." '

For these small officials, they didn't want to start a war, but they had to do what the superiors said.

If you don't do it, one charge will be deducted, even if you have ten heads, it will not be enough to chop off.

"Shut up, what do you use to fight, do you rely on you to open your mouth? Hit a Sishui Pass twice but failed, and even lost a general. Although Nezha has surrendered to Xiqi, our Xiqi is still in the same situation. Disadvantage! You can fight if you say so?!"

Guang Chengzi waved his sleeves and knocked Shen Gongbao to the ground. He was even more anxious than Shen Gongbao.

Even though the Great Tribulation of Conferred Gods lasted for more than ten years, even decades, it couldn't be dragged on forever.

With Yin Shang's combat strength, if it drags on, it will be crushed by Yin Shang sooner or later.

But he really has nothing to do now, after all, there is no way to solve the food crisis.

Wait, he suddenly thought of something.

"What do you think Chaoge invited all the princes to Chaoge for?"

"In order to promote the method of growing vegetables in winter."

Guang Chengzi is about to cry, the most miserable thing in the world is that the method you want the most is in the hands of your enemy, the only way to grow vegetables in winter is in Nandu in the south.

The temperature there is mild, and there are two or even three crops a year, but there are less cultivated land, so there is no more than one season in the northern plains.

But the production of vegetables is enough to eat, and no one eats vegetables as a meal.

"How?"

"I don't know about that." The civil servant was very embarrassed.

You said that Xiqi is good, why do you have to fight against it?

I really can't figure out the idea above.

But if it's reversed, it's reversed. Anyway, the superiors are responsible, and it's none of their business, as long as they do their job well.

What method did Di Xin use?There are many ways, and the principle is very simple.

The focus of winter vegetable planting is nothing more than ventilation, light transmission, and constant temperature maintenance.

Among them, the problem of light transmission is the most difficult, because few objects pass through light, and Di Xin's men happened to discover a light-transmitting material, that is glass.

Glass is a kind of mixture, the main component is silicon dioxide, Hong Huang's glass is also made of sand, and it is estimated that the composition is the same.

According to the different internal components, the color will also change obviously. Dixin has been asking his staff to try to mix various materials to make glass with high light transmittance.

By firing glass into liquid and pouring it into molds, materials of different shapes can be made. As long as the problem of color difference is solved, glass can be laid on the roof to transmit light.

And in the house, you can also use a small magic weapon to keep the room temperature, which is simpler than a refrigerator.

"You princes, do you understand?" Di Xin explained to the two hundred princes of Xiqi.

The two hundred princes were dumbfounded. They thought they would become victims of the struggle between Xiqi and Chaoge, and they were all ready to beheaded for public display. The result was good. Did Di Xin invite them here to explain this?

"Good!!!" A prince applauded and clapped his hands: "Your Majesty is really a genius, and he was able to discover such a wonderful use of this thing. If vegetables can be grown in winter, then the lives of the people can be improved to another level!"

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise!"

All kinds of praises are endless, and Di Xin said with a smile: "Gu is also planning to build on a large scale, preferably in the plains. Although Xiqi is surrounded by mountains, there are also many plains. I wonder if you princes have the intention to build vegetables. Planting place?"

The princes look at me, and I look at you.

"My lord, why didn't you build it in Chaoge?"

"The national treasury has suffered some losses recently, and I just want to wait for some time to rebuild."

Many princes suddenly realized it, and they quickly said: "The worry of the king is our worry, and we will definitely contribute money to help the king share the worries and solve the problems."

Di Xin nodded. In ancient times, there was Zhao Gao who pointed out that the deer was a traitor in the horse test;

All the princes who said that they contributed can stay, and whoever doesn't invest can wait for God Xin's small book.

Chapter 260: New Year's Eve or Chinese New Year?

In fact, as early as the Qin Dynasty, there was already a greenhouse, but it was a natural greenhouse in the warm place of the Lishanling Valley. It was feasible to use temperature to grow vegetables and fruits in the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

This has already shown that the DNA of construction exists in the bones of flower growers.

Dixin not only wants to build, but also drives other princes who lack vegetable production to build together. It seems absurd to produce vegetables in winter, but if it can be done, it can increase vegetable production for another season.

This will undoubtedly add some fun to the already leisurely and lazy winter life. Although some people are so lazy that they don't want to move in summer, there are also many people who are so hardworking that they don't want to rest in winter.

Like black iron ore, the output of glass is Xiniu Hezhou. It's not that Xiqi's forging technology is not good, but the temperature of the furnace is still not enough.

The melting point of glass is very high, and it takes a lot of heat to burn it into a liquid and reshape it. There are only a few blacksmiths in Chaoge who can forge it.

Of course, Dixin strictly requires that the price of glass should not be high, so as to avoid the undersupply of glass and cause the price of glass to be inflated, which will easily cause other blacksmiths to forge glass instead of making iron.

The princes of the two hundred routes provided some assistance more or less, and Di Xin didn't care about their assistance to Xiqi, what he wanted was an attitude.

As long as you give money, at least you still have the meaning of submitting to Yin Shang in your heart.

This imperial court is like a fish pond, it cannot be extremely clear, otherwise the fish will starve to death, the same is true for the nobles, it is impossible for all ministers to be 100% completely loyal.

There are still a few traitors among the twenty emperor's sons next door to Warhammer 40K.

"Your Majesty."

When visiting the plantation, a prince asked Emperor Xin: "What do you think about the Xiqi matter?"

The footsteps of many princes visiting suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere began to turn sharply. Di Xin looked back at the prince with a smile on his face.

"How do you think about it? I have a word, and I will tell the princes from all walks of life today, and I ask you all, if Yin Shang really has no way, what should you do?"

"This..."

Many princes dare not say it, so of course they will replace it.

But Di Xin didn't intend to ask others to answer this question.

"In Gu's opinion, if you think the motherland is not good, you should build it; if you think politics is not good, you should learn to become an official in the court; if you think the world is unfair, you should start from yourself Fair people; if you feel that people in the world are ignorant, you have to learn to change the people around you; dare to face up to it, dare to think, dare to speak, dare to act, dare to act, Xiqi? They didn’t do that.”

"But Xiqi's army is coming in menacingly. I heard that the Sishui Pass has been breached before."

"I don't want to talk about this topic today, but there are some things I still want to say."

Di Xin turned to face the princes, and then said: "Gentlemen, give me an example. Listen clearly. Just give me an example. After all, you can't talk nonsense, but you can talk nonsense with examples."

Di Xin repeated the 'example' three times, and then asked: "If Gu said today that all the princes present are guilty, the crime is enough to die, but as long as you choose one person to take the initiative to be punished, Gu will forgive your sins. Will one be released?"

"It's natural!" A prince said casually, "The loss of one person and the benefit of a hundred people are undoubtedly more worthwhile for a hundred people."

"Then who will be in charge of this person, you?" Di Xin looked at the prince.

The prince shut up immediately, if Di Xin hadn't given an example, this sentence alone would have scared him to the ground.

"It seems that you also understand this truth. Xiqi said that there is no way to be alone, and that rebellion in the name of the common people in the world is an excuse to harm one person and benefit the world. Can harming one person really benefit the world? Actually not, who is the emperor? You, me, or even an ordinary person on the street, if you want the world to be governed well, there is nothing more than one reason, if no one person harms the world, and the world does not harm one person, then the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe, and the world will be governed.”

The princes could roughly understand what they heard, but Di Xin continued: "Don't do evil because it is small, and don't do good because it is small. The smallness in your eyes may be the basis of survival for hundreds of people. Maybe you Hundreds of people can be saved with every gesture, and hundreds of people may be harmed, Xiqi's rebellion seems to be for all people in the world, but it has already threatened the lives of all people in the world."

"Then... why didn't the king suppress Xiqi immediately?"

"Fengshen, Fengshen, this rebellion is not a simple rebellion. If it was a simple rebellion, he would have been escorted to Chaoge and beheaded as early as the night of Ji Fa's rebellion."

Di Xin sighed and said, "But it's a pity, Xiqi is still missing a move. Gu Gang cut off his retreat, and I'm afraid they will have to wait until next year before they have a chance to raise their troops again."

Many princes were surprised after hearing this. Did Di Xin say this because he was proud or confident?

Of course, Di Xin was confident. Xiqi's logistics reserve managers were all chaoge. Could it be that Xiqi dared to snatch the remaining food from other princes?

If he really did this act of beating allies, just wait for all the princes to beat him.

On Xiqi's side, it is true that they did not send troops to the east again, but saved food and money to prepare for the winter.

"Hey, Di Xin's trick is really ruthless. The two hundred princes are not in the territory, so how can I ask for food?!" Guang Chengzi looked at the heavy snow outside and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he looked at the falling snowflakes, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"That's right! Now that the Xuanniao family is the Xiqi totem, can't they plant the ice and snow immediately after removing the snow and ice? It will be harvested in March next year. One season will change into two seasons!"

Guang Chengzi is worthy of being Xuanyuan Huangdi's teacher, and he is also full of construction ideas in his bones.

The only difference from Di Xin is that Guang Chengzi was still borrowing the rules of heaven and earth when Di Xin had already got rid of some of the rules of heaven and earth.

"Hahaha."

Thinking of the idea, Guang Chengzi stroked his beard and smiled, and immediately cast a spell to convey the news to the Xuanniao family.

The winter in Xiqi is gone soon, and it is as warm as spring.

The abnormal season in Xiqi made the people of Xiqi a little surprised, until Guangchengzi posted a notice, and within three days, the people started working again.

Di Xin also saw a system prompt.

[People's Livelihood: The climate in Xiqi has changed, the climate has been mild for a year, and grain production has increased by 70%. 】

When Di Xin read this news, he was having dinner with all the princes, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"Xuanniao is a deceitful thing. It didn't help Yin Shang at the beginning, but now it helps Xiqi and Nima. It's a bit good to have Tianting as the backstage, but you are like spring all the year round, right? I won't give you a drop of rain...forget it Oh, this is too cruel. The people who suffer without rain are scolded by the Dragon King. Let Xiqi take a step. Anyway, if you want to plant for a season, it will be tomorrow spring. '

However, what Di Xin did not expect was that the end of the year would not be peaceful this time.

A powerful but not ancient beast appeared in Yin Shang territory.

Its name is 'Xi' also known as 'Nian', and it is an evil beast.
