The Qi army led by Chuzi had all been captured, so what could Tian Ying's Xuecheng army do?

However, after a little resistance, they followed the footsteps of the Qi army.

When all the dust settled, Lingqing sat in the official office, accompanied by the magistrate of Hu Yicheng, and listened to the reports from all parties.

Lingguo is not like Qi, Wei and other countries, which enfeoffed the land, cities and towns into the hands of clans and even officials.

Instead, like the Qin State, later generations set up county offices.

Nowadays, the person in charge of Huyi City is not called the city lord or the king of the city, but the magistrate.

Under him are the county magistrate, who is in charge of document warehouses, etc., and the county lieutenant, who is in charge of public security and catching thieves.

At this time, the county captain of Huyicheng hurriedly came to report.

"Your Majesty, there are too many people in Qi State, and there is simply no room for them in the prison."

"Now they are trapped by the chains of evil spirits and cannot make any waves."

Ling Qing sat on the main seat and said calmly.

"Send an order to Lingqiu City and ask Linghuai to send people to take them all away."

"Here!"

After the county captain responded, he went down and ordered someone to draft a document and convey Lingqing's intention to the Sikou Mansion.

"Aren't you going to return these Qi soldiers?"

Pu Chang, the magistrate of Huyicheng, asked Lingqing.

He himself is from Lingguo and participated in the last defensive battle when Qi State attacked Lingqiu City.

Later, he passed the first Lingtai talent selection, obtained the title of sergeant, and taught in Lingming Academy for several months.

After Cao Gong presented the city, he asked Yan Ru to govern the country.

After investigation, he reported to Lingqing and appointed him as the magistrate of Huyicheng County.

This edict was issued by Ling Qing himself.

"What else are you going to do for them?"

Ling Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "The last time Qi State returned a thousand people to him, it was because Ling State was unable to support it at that time.

Now our Ling Kingdom lacks nothing but people. Since King Qi has shown his kindness, how can I not accept it?"

There are two types of grain and grass in the Ling Kingdom, one is corn and refined rice, which requires the construction of spiritual fields and careful cultivation.

However, with the addition of Xu Xing, a great sage, and the influence of Heji God, the output is not small.

The other type is ordinary grains.

In the hands of a group of Siji government officials and farm disciples who have learned how to grow plants, as long as the soil can bear it, they can basically harvest once a month at most.

Lingqing holds the power of earth evil energy and can mobilize the power of the earth buried deep in the ground to support the growth of grains.

Therefore, basically, Lingguo has never been short of food since Lingtai selected talents.

Now there is a large amount of food and grass stored in the treasury, and every household in Lingguo is also full of food.

Even if another hundred thousand people come, Lingguo can still afford it.

This can be regarded as the answer sheet Lingqing delivered to Xu Xing.

What the peasants worry about is that the world is like the Zhu Kingdom, where the upper class nobles and wealthy families are stinking of wine and meat, while the lower class people have neither enough food nor clothing to cover their bodies.

However, after using spells or cultivating high-yield food seeds, you can harvest more food than you can eat.

Once prices are properly regulated, as long as there is no corrupt ruling class that regards human life as trivial, then the people of the world will not be in danger of hunger or cold.

There is no perfect way in the world.

Instead of pinning your hopes on the benevolence and hands-on actions of the rulers.

It would be better to find a way for everyone to plant a seed at will and get endless food.

Of course, this is not the best method, and it definitely has various shortcomings.

For example, food no longer has any added value.

However, even so, it still has its most fundamental value as food, that is, no one will starve to death because there is not enough to eat.

With these thoughts in mind, Lingqing dealt with the matters beyond Puchang's responsibilities one by one.

Looking at him and Zhang Yang said.

"You two get ready and let me take down Xuecheng."

"Here!"

After the two looked at each other, they cupped their hands and agreed.

This is what it should be. Now all Xuecheng's soldiers have been captured, and even Tian Ying, the king of Yi, has fallen into his hands.

Xuecheng is just an empty city now. How long will it take if we don’t replace it now?

At that time, Lingqing was riding on the back of a green lion, and the officials of Huyicheng led by Pu Chang were the central army.

The Disha army led by Di Kuixing and the machine beast army led by Zhang Yang were the front and rear armies.

Soon we arrived at the foot of Xue City.

Looking at the city, which was larger than Lingqiu City, Zhang Yang waved his hand.

More than two thousand machine beasts roared and rushed up the city wall.

It was useless for Di Shajun to take action, but with just a cup of tea, Lingqing was sitting in Xuecheng again.

"Tian Wen has met Linggong!"

When Tian Ying's family members were captured, everyone was frightened. Only a short young man came out to look at Ling Qing and worshiped.

"Tian Wen?"

Lingqing looked up after hearing this and saw that the future Lord Mengchang was less than five feet tall and less than twenty years old.

There is a bright light in his eyes, full of courage, but his eyes are more white than black, giving him the feeling of an eagle looking at a wolf.

Obviously he is not a person who is willing to be inferior to others.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Ling Gong, I am willing to worship at the door of Ling Gong, and I hope Ling Gong will not give up!"

Tian Wen suddenly bowed his head and knelt on the ground and said.

"Oh? You are just one of Tian Ying's forty sons. Now even your father has been captured by me, and the lives of your whole family are in my hands.

What good is your allegiance to me?"

"Linggong has now captured my father, defeated Chuzi, and occupied Xuecheng.

It seems like a great victory and a lot of gains.

However, I am worried about the country of Ling and Duke Ling in my heart."

Tian Wen perked up after hearing this, straightened up and said.

"What can I say?"

Ling Qing asked calmly after hearing this.

"Let's not talk about how to arrange the 50,000 surrendered troops. Now that the Ling Kingdom has obtained the land of Xuecheng, it will face the Chu Kingdom directly.

Previously, Xuecheng was in the hands of Qi State. Due to the strength of Qi State and the prestige of my father, Chu State would not easily initiate a provocation.

But now that it fell into the hands of Ling Kingdom, not only King Qi would not give up easily, but even King Chu would not let go of this opportunity to obtain Xuecheng.

Even the King of Song Dynasty might have had a hand in it.

And all the countries want Xuecheng, but how can only Xuecheng satisfy their appetites?

After they take Xuecheng, they will definitely destroy the Ling Kingdom and occupy the Ling Kingdom.

Therefore, I believe that it is unwise for Duke Ling to take Xuecheng."

"Then what do you think I should do?"

Lingqing still looked at him calmly and said.

When Tian Wen heard this, his expression froze. Such a calm reaction was beyond his expectation.

In his opinion, Lingqing was either dismissive and scolded him for being alarmist.

Either be sincerely convinced and treat him with extra courtesy.

No matter what the situation was, he had a countermeasure in mind.

However, such a neither salty nor bland reaction made him murmur in his heart.

But seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, he could only continue speaking.

"I think it is better to return Xuecheng to Qi State in exchange for Ligu, Wucheng and other places.

In this way, although the border with Qi will become larger, at least it will not have to face Chu and Song.

If Ling Gong is worried that Qi State will cause trouble to Ling State later, I have another way."
