Originally, she thought that they were poor now and they were at war, so he was worried that she would sell the stones for money.
It's not surprising that he would say this to Song Chen. Their stone gambling den is almost ready now, and they will start operations when more stones come out.
Relying entirely on manual mining, the progress is really slow.
However, although she feels that she is in urgent need of money now, naturally she will not sell such valuable and gimmick things casually. Even if she wants to sell them, she will have to wait until her own stone betting shop opens to attract people.
"I've put all those stones away. When the market opens in the city, I'll pick two big ones and put them up so they can see the quality of our stone gambling den."
The stone gambling den actually competes for resources. The reason why Xiaoyao's stone gambling den is so popular is because their quality has always been pretty good, and there will always be people who make big gains with their bets.
Who hasn’t had the dream of getting rich overnight?
Even though she had thought this way when she first came here, everyone had thought about the good times, and no one would let go of this opportunity to gamble on luck.
As long as you let them know that there are good products in the stone quarry, you won't be afraid that no one will come to your door.
This is truly a very profitable business.
The arrangement of stones and jade all depends on a pair of eyes.
"I meant to keep it to yourself."
He knew that was what she had in mind.
"I have plenty of them in my space, so I don't need to keep these. But I can just throw these jade stones into my space and keep them first."
Jade has spiritual energy, and space likes to absorb spiritual energy. The human eye cannot detect the subtle differences anyway.
It does not affect the quality of jade.
"Yes." Cang Xiuxuan knew that she had decided and could only nod silently.
His little princess always had her own opinion on things, and he was a little frustrated.
But this was only for a moment, and more importantly, I was proud.
Such an outstanding person is his princess, and all the blessings in the world have been taken advantage of by him.
**
The place where the grain was originally stored was still there. Song Chen went to fill up all those warehouses before dawn the next day.
Cang Xiuxuan was with her, both as a protector and as a sentry.
Song Chen is getting faster and faster now, and a super warehouse can be completed with just a wave of his hand.
After placing all the warehouses, it took some time on the way there.
Cang Xiuxuan did not delay, and soon had some of the grain and grass transported to the border.
But the two of them didn't notice a dog following them.
It's not like I didn't see it, but I just thought it was a stray dog.
While carrying grain and grass from the warehouse, the dog appeared again, this time accompanied by a man.
When the team transporting grain and grass set off, one person and one dog left quietly.
It's just that after the man returned, he started to think more and more about it.
"Lao Cheng, tell me... how much food can this Dahong store in a year at its best?"
Old Cheng, who was called, was stunned at first, "Old Cheng, I really don't know, but it doesn't seem to be a lot. During the severe drought last year, the state treasury had no ability to release grain. Most of the relief for the people came from the regent's original stock.
"
"Prince Regent?"
The man pondered for a while and said, "Even if he started hoarding two years ago, it seems that he would not be able to hoard such a large amount of food."
Almost all the people of Da Rong were saved!
He still had to raise so many soldiers, and he wouldn't believe it if he said that all the food was hoarded by him with foresight.
Lao Cheng didn't know why his master asked, "Master, do you think there is something wrong?"
"Go and investigate the regent's food channels. Do it secretly. You must not be discovered."
He was very curious at first, thinking that after the severe drought, Cang Xiuxuan would not have much food on hand, but who knew that he would witness such a scene again today.
He knew where the food was going, but he couldn't figure out where it came from.
He thought he was not much behind Cang Xiuxuan, but if he thought about it carefully, he would not be able to hoard even one-tenth of what Cang Xiuxuan released.
Maybe one-twentieth...
The entire Da Rong only produces so much grain every year, so where does his grain come from?
Lao Cheng will definitely not get the answer to this question, because he can't find it no matter how hard he searches.
But there is news from Cang Yi's side.
The traitor has been found.
To be precise, they are rebels!
Because it’s not just one or two people, but nearly a hundred people!
These people fled the station as soon as the military reform order was issued, because not so many people disappeared in one battalion at the same time, and the immediate superiors who were busy with the military reform did not notice this problem.
When Cang Yi counted the number of people, these immediate superiors were all broken into cold sweats.
This is an oversight and a dereliction of duty, and it will be a serious responsibility if held accountable.
Looking at the dozens of people kneeling tremblingly below, Cang Yi gradually suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Military reform is a major event for the prince, but it is you who will benefit in the end. You cannot be a soldier for a lifetime, but you can live a lifetime if you have a family in your hands. If you don't want such an opportunity, there are many people who do!"
This was said not only to these officers, but also to the sergeants.
And the opportunity he mentioned has now been tasted by many people. Those who originally believed that this was disarmament now understand that this is a better future.
The little wavering in my heart has long since dissipated.
In this way, there is no need to ask more about the psychology of those who rebelled.
People who have been in too many fights will naturally have a sense of hostility all over their body. Over time, some people who are not firm in their hearts will develop an emotion or cognition in their mind.
In their view, killing people on the battlefield is what a soldier should be like. How can a hoe be carried on the shoulders that carry swords and guns?
What makes them more comfortable is killing people.
If they are asked to farm, they can't do it.
If they can't resist, they can only find a place where they can continue to fight as soldiers.
To join, you must give some useful information to ensure your sincerity and not be beaten to death as a spy.
Military reform is their best bargaining chip.
But because they themselves didn't even understand the purpose of the military reform, the information they conveyed was inaccurate.
Jinchu and the others completely misunderstood.
"We will swear allegiance to the prince to the death, and we will never change our minds!"
Everyone raised their hands and swore to show their loyalty.
Cang Yi dealt with the relevant people vigorously and resolutely, but the punishment was sufficient without causing people to overreact.
This is what he learned from his master over the years.
How to punish people in a way that makes them convinced.
Immediately afterwards, they were given the opportunity to redeem themselves and make meritorious deeds, "Those who betray the prince will only die. This matter is your fault and it is up to you to handle it!"
"We will definitely live up to the prince's trust! Bring their heads back to atone for their sins!"
Cang Yi was satisfied with this result, but he couldn't leave now. He had to investigate and then go to various places where he was stationed.
This kind of problem must not arise again at this juncture, otherwise the master's plan will become even more difficult.
The master trusted him and asked him to handle this matter, so he could not let the master down.
Outside the border city, the Jinchu tribe has become more aggressive. They have waited for several days but no Dajong came to attack them. All the preparations they had made were in vain, and the plan will begin to change.
"Great Khan, is there a scam?"
This situation is truly abnormal and makes people feel unsure.
Jin Chu looked at the people in the tent with a sullen face, "Where is the spy?"
Someone immediately brought the spies in outside the tent. No, they should have been carried in.
Jin Chu's face turned dark when he saw this.
His spies came back like this!
"what happened!"
The man who carried the spy in had his legs weak and knelt down, "That's what happened when I found him outside the station."
The spy was already taking in more air and outgoing less air. Now he may have seen his master, and his whole body was filled with flashes of light. He raised his head and stretched out his hand to reach for Jin Chu.
"Great Khan, he has something to say."
When the people below saw this, they quickly called Jin Chu. Jin Chu strode to the spy and leaned over the spy's head.
"Inside the city, inside the city, there are few troops, few..."
After saying this, he no longer had any vitality, as if all his strength was reserved for saying this.
Jin Chu squatted on the spot and looked at him with his head lowered, his eyes not changing much.
He was squatting, and the others did not dare to stand. They all knelt on one knee, waiting for Jin Chu to get up.
"He said there are few soldiers in the city. Do you believe it?"
In the past, he would have believed it. At that time, he thought that when Cang Xiuxuan asked the sergeants to return to the countryside, there would naturally be fewer people capable of fighting. However, as time went by, this feeling became more and more wrong.
If there were not many troops in the city at all, and they had been stationed outside for so long, the people must have been in chaos, but the most important message the spies left for him was that there were only a few enemy troops?
As an excellent spy, getting the most useful information from the changes around them is what they should do.
The person who is now dead was either instigated to rebel, or there was never any chaos in the city and it was still peaceful.
He felt that the possibility of the former was slim, and the spies who were instigated to rebel would not lose their lives.
The latter... the people in the city had never felt disturbed by the war at all. He would not think it was because they had not taken any action. It only meant that Cang Xiuxuan's troops gave them enough confidence!!!
As soon as he asked this question, the kneeling people did not dare to get up at all. Do they believe it?
At this moment, they dare not say whether they believe it or not.
If they believed it and attacked rashly, the consequences that would ultimately result were not something any of them could bear.
If you don’t believe it, you will be too cautious and you will miss the opportunity.
But it was impossible not to answer this question. After everyone pondered for a moment, someone cautiously said, "Khan, for now, we can only proceed as planned."
This time they came in full force. They had been stationed in Da Rong's territory for several days. Now even if they wanted to leave, they might not be able to leave.
