The Curse Land has been developing for nearly half a year and has been very smooth. The houses in the living area have been built and the paper mill has been basically completed. Just wait for Xingchen to bring people to work.
But in early June, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred. The supplies on the Curse Land were usually purchased from two adjacent territories. But the people sent out these days returned that the grain merchants in the two major territories had no food.
Han Xiaowu thought there was something wrong with it. Dali Kingdom has a very good geographical location and a warm and humid climate. It can be planted for two seasons a year. The grain output is very rich. How could it be that there is no food?
"Someone is going to be bad for us!" Staying away from Xingchenling, Han Xiaowu was always alert, and Wu immediately thought of this possibility.
Afterwards, Han Xiaowu sent someone to investigate the two territories secretly, and found that the grain merchants were not without food and were selling happily. This situation further confirmed what Han Xiaowu was thinking.
He did not go to find the lords of these two territories to control the grain merchants. Maybe it was the intention of these two territories. Then he turned his attention to the farther territory and did not give these two territories any chance to contact and speak.
However, what Han Xiaowu did not expect was that the grain merchants did not sell them food to the five territories far away.
"There's something to do now!" Han Xiaowu was uneasy. If it were just two territories, it might be the lord's own idea. But if so many territories are like this, 80% of them have something to do with the top leaders of the Dali Kingdom.
It was already mid-June, and Han Xiaowu did not dare to delay and immediately wrote a letter to Jiang Xingchen to explain the situation. After all, this is the area of the Dali Kingdom. If the senior management of Dali really targeted him, the development of the Curse Land will be difficult in the future...
Xingchen led the army, Jiang Xingchen had just finished writing a letter to Wu Tianfeng of the Seventh Legion and sent it out. He was about to continue writing a letter to Luo Yu of the Orc Alliance, preparing to negotiate a big deal. As a result, he received a letter from Han Xiaowu.
Seeing the contents of the letter, Jiang Xingchen also frowned. This matter was definitely premeditated, and it was probably because he wanted to gain some benefits from him.
After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, Jiang Xingchen picked up a pen and wrote a letter to the Wang family, asking them to check the situation. He also asked them to send a batch of food to the curse land first.
After writing the letter to the Wang family, Jiang Xingchen replied to Han Xiaowu again. He asked him to save a little while and hold on for a while, and he had already made arrangements.
When the two letters were sent, Jiang Xingchen ordered the guards who were following him to inform the blacksmith workshop to make every effort to create a batch of cold iron swords, crossbow arrows, and folded crossbows.
Then Jiang Xingchen found Grandpa Fu again and asked him to immediately mobilize a batch of grain and prepare another 10,000 yuan stone.
Grandpa Fu was very surprised. Now that the flood in the empire has just passed, the food is the most tight, and although there were a lot of hoarding before, the number of tourists in the future will definitely be huge. There is also the 10,000 stones, which is 10 million yellow crystal coins. What is Jue Jue doing?
Jiang Xingchen briefly explained the situation encountered in the Curse Land and told Grandpa Fu that 10,000 yuan of stones were used as grenades.
"Didn't we ask the Wang family to send supplies? Why are we still preparing! It's too much to transport it from us to the curse land." Grandpa Fu frowned.
"This time, someone is obviously targeting us. I am worried that the Wang family will not be able to provide supplies, so I have to prepare more!" Jiang Xingchen explained.
After hearing what Jiang Xingchen said, Grandpa Fu certainly could distinguish the importance of the matter, so he nodded and agreed immediately. However, when he turned around, he showed a painful expression on his face. It was okay to say that the food was going to cost ten million yuan. It was so expensive...
Grandpa Fu left before his feet, and Jiang Xingchen sent another letter, which was sent to the Orc Alliance, and he wanted to buy horses.
Although the breeding technology of the Orc Alliance is relaxed, the best horses still have to be bought from the Orc Alliance.
After sending several letters, Jiang Xingchen breathed a little relieved and closed his eyes to ponder. He had long considered that the development of the Curse Land would not be so smooth, but what he didn't expect was that so many lords were targeting him.
After a long time, Jiang Xingchen suddenly sneered at the corner of his mouth: "If you want to share the benefits from me, it depends on whether you have such good teeth. Don't be unable to eat anything and end up breaking your teeth... Isn't it just supplies and food? No you, we will do it ourselves!"
With a sneer, Jiang Xingchen got up and walked out to Bauhinia Entertainment. Now that Zhang Di has almost practiced his piano repertoire, the tour of the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe has also been put on the agenda, so he and Wanrou are busy and have to arrange scenes for the performance every day...
A day later, Wu Tianfeng, who first received Jiang Xingchen's letter, did not hesitate, and waved his hand to transfer the soldiers.
Several deputy commanders were so scared that they were not the private soldiers of the commander, but a real regular army. How could they be transferred? If the military headquarters knew about it, it would be great.
Wu Tianfeng smiled and waved his hand, saying confidently: "Don't worry, even if the marshal and the emperor know, it won't be possible!"
Several deputy commanders were skeptical, but they could not say anything more, so they had to retreat temporarily with fear... After several days, there was no movement, and the military headquarters seemed to not know about this matter and ignored it. Only then did they feel relieved.
Of course they didn't know that the so-called short-lived manpower was the Marshal and the Emperor accepted the benefits of Jiang Xingchen's 27th-level monster meat. Even if someone complained and made a fuss, they would not pay attention to it.
When the three thousand soldiers arrived at Xingchen's leadership, Jiang Xingchen and Wanrou's stage design work had been completed, and the supplies transported to the Curse Land of Grandpa Fu were also ready, and a total of 300 large trucks were loaded.
When the soldiers arrived, the mountain development plan was officially started. The weeds on the hillside were pulled out, and the big trees were planted on the streets of the new town, inside and outside the yards of hotels and homes.
The development of the mountain began and the territory became lively again. The food, drink, defecation, and living for 3,000 people had to be arranged. There were also many people who started, transported, cleaned up garbage, etc.
At the same time, weapons and grenades were all made under the work of the blacksmith workshop and the research institute day and night. Jiang Xingchen's nine hundred private soldiers were in one set.
As martial arts practitioners, there is no one who doesn't like weapons. The single sword made by Han Iron is small in style, but the powerful folding crossbow makes these private soldiers love it. Especially the grenades, they have admired them for a long time, but they have never had the chance to contact them. Now they finally see the real one, and each person is equipped with ten, so they are excited for a long time.
After the weapons were distributed, Jiang Xingchen found Zhao Danqing and asked the Iron Sword Mercenary Group to take charge of the command, leading 500 private soldiers to escort the materials, transporting the materials to the curse land.
When Zhao Danqing heard that Coke was broken, he was tortured these days and was caught by the old man every day and played Landlord. Although this game is fun, it can't stand it so black and white.
He was happy, but the old man was unhappy. He didn't have many card friends. Zhao Danqing left, who would play with him? After he sent the perfume, he came back. Xiao Huntan had not taught himself the skills of Landlords that Xiao Huntan agreed to. He had to wait until he learned the skills and clean up Jiang Xingchen and enjoy it.
"Boy, you can't change someone else. Isn't the only one of the Iron Sword Mercenaries Group?" The old man found Jiang Xingchen and asked unhappily.
"I'm not relieved if someone else escorts me. You don't know the situation in the empire now. There is shortage of food everywhere. What if someone wants to have this batch of food!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"That guy Zhao has nothing to do with it. Your private soldier has a grenade and a folded crossbow. I'm afraid that someone will make an idea..." The old man muttered.
Jiang Xingchen didn't say anything, but just looked at the old man quietly and shook his head slightly.
"Otherwise, you let the girl Hongxian take charge of the escort. This is OK, right?" The old man was not giving up.
"Sister Hongxian is not good. In two days, Bauhinia will start tours from various countries. She must be responsible for protecting the actors of Bauhinia Entertainment!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
The old man was helpless now, but he didn't leave immediately. His eyes turned and asked, "Boy, you said that you would teach me the skills of Landlords when I came back from sending perfume. I saw you busy a while ago, and I didn't have the nerve to bother you... Is it time to cash in now?"
"Old man, please stop making trouble. I didn't see that it's all a matter now. I'm so busy. How can I teach you?" Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said.
"Hey! Boy, please tell me clearly, where did I make trouble. You said it yourself, I taught me when I came back, but I ran twice... and I haven't looked for you in the past few days since I came back, so it's not interesting enough..."
"Stop!" Seeing the old man start chattering, Jiang Xingchen was so angry that he immediately raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Will you do it in a few days... I'll teach you when I finish my work!"
"This attitude is almost the same!" The old man saw Jiang Xingchen surrender, and then nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked away in all directions.
"This old guy didn't want to keep Zhao Danqing, it was just to make me surrender!" Jiang Xingchen stared at the old man's back and twitched his lips twice.
After the old man left, Jiang Xingchen went to the editorial department of Xingchen Monthly. The two consecutive issues reported about floods and reconstruction. In this issue of Xingchen Monthly, he will start to focus on promoting the tour of Zijing Entertainment.
In addition, due to the impact of major floods across the country in April and May, many businesses suffered huge losses, and Jiang Xingchen did not engage in advertising investment. This month, this year's investment investment will also start again.
However, due to the flood, this issue of monthly magazines did not publish much in the empire, with only 300,000 copies. However, in foreign countries, especially the Kingdom of Great Qin and the Kingdom of Yueying, Jiang Xingchen invested 600,000 copies for publicity.
On June 25th, a convoy heading to the Curse Land to transport supplies set off. Nine hundred thousand Star Monthly magazines were also quickly transported to all parts of the empire, the Kingdom of Moon Shadow, and the Kingdom of Qin.
