Originally, these people were passively united, but now they are actively uniting together, and often send envoys everywhere to talk and discuss countermeasures.
But after deliberation for a long time, there was no good solution. Some knowledgeable veterans could only sigh and kept saying: "It's over, everything is too late. This economic killing is more powerful than a knife."
The monks were restless. The spirit-gathering pills in their hands were no longer enough. If they ran out, they would have no choice but to go to other countries. After all, cultivation could not stop.
The princes knew people's intentions, so they could only issue orders forcibly. There was no reason why they could not leave the territory of their state, and they promised that everything would be fine. As long as they waited for the harvest of Juling grass, the crisis would be over.
But if you want a large amount of Spirit-Gathering Grass, you have to wait for a year. The monks are unwilling and have nothing to do. After all, it is very risky to conflict with officials.
Enforcing decrees and appeasement went hand in hand. Although the monks had some opinions, the situation was stabilized, at least they didn't run away.
As for the lack of food and grass, the princes had no choice but to dismiss some of the newly recruited soldiers and then use their stocks to support the veterans.
Before the supply of food and spirit-gathering pills came, the princes had no plans to attack and just wanted to spend the year quietly.
Most of those soldiers joined the army because their family background was poor and they had no supply of resources and fairy food. Things were not good before, and they became even worse after the economic crisis.
So the soldiers still had nothing to eat when they returned home, some were barely able to survive, and some became refugees. In order to avoid turmoil, the princes could only open warehouses and release grain.
As a result, food became even more tense, and the major princes could only buy some at high prices from Daewoo or even Mu Qianyu's territory.
This time Beichen Ye did not stop him. He could not push the people too hard, otherwise it would be counterproductive.
The other princes were in a difficult situation, but Mu Qianyu was prospering.
A large amount of materials lost from other cities have all come into her hands. She already occupies the economic center and has the support of many chambers of commerce. Now she has more than half of Daxuan's material supply. The word "rich" is no longer enough to describe her.
So generous.
So she expanded the army even more aggressively. It didn't matter if the new recruits had no fighting experience. It was always safe to pile up equipment and use cannons to beat others' rifles.
After this battle, the people in the four prefectures of Jiangning had more confidence in Mu Qianyu, firstly because he was strong, and secondly because he held the jade seal and was justified, so the recruitment went very smoothly.
Mu Qianyu also gained huge gains from fighting against the coalition forces this time. Among the 450,000 soldiers stationed in the three cities, 300,000 were recruits. However, after this month of fierce fighting, the recruits also lost their greenness and became an army.
A very cohesive and highly effective army.
It's just that she paid the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers for this. Now, including Daya Pass, she has a total of 500,000 people, 500,000 elite soldiers who have experienced bloody battles.
She also communicated with Beichen Ye frequently. A month after the coalition retreated, she had already established two armies. The first governor was the old general Wu Anbang, who led an army of 200,000.
The second governor was Sikong Yu, who also led an army of 200,000.
Both armies are undergoing intense military training and are ready for counterattack at any time.
Beichenye was very pleased after hearing this and told her not to be impatient, but to focus on preparation and wait for his news before attacking the city.
Another month has passed, and it has snowed for the second time in the north of Daxuan, and there has also been a light snowfall in the south. It is entering the cold winter season.
Mu Qianyu often felt a little cold, and the cracks in her meridians spread faster and faster. Part of the luck in her body disappeared when the emperor died, and the remaining part was obviously not enough to last for long.
She will be twenty years old after this year. If she had not been supported by luck in the past two years, she might have coughed to death as early as the meridians in her lungs had ruptured.
She needed to get more luck faster, otherwise she would still be unable to escape the fate of her meridians being cut off and dying.
Of course, she did not tell Beichenye this. In the distance, Beichenye observed the situation in other vassal states, and decided to launch the final general attack when the first snow fell on the imperial city.
This time, he wants all the vassal states to collapse completely.
At this moment, the vassal states are all in a difficult situation, every city and every state is like this. As the spirit-gathering pills in their hands are used up, food is gradually running out, and the number of refugees has increased.
Although large merchants have found sources of goods in the past two months, from nearby sects, neighboring countries and even Mu Qianyu's territory.
These merchants and families have been intertwined in Daxuan for decades or hundreds of years, and their connections and influence are still very large. As long as no one interferes, they can do business even in difficult times.
Both the grain sellers and the shops selling Spirit Gathering Pills have them in stock, but because they are few and far between, the prices are very high, and ordinary people simply cannot afford them.
However, in the next ten days or so, some rumors began to spread in Daxuan's major cities, saying that the man behind the disruption to the economy had obtained a large amount of food and spirit-gathering pills, but was unable to transport them away.
After all, storage bags and storage rings are very luxurious and expensive items, and even if you spend a lot of money to buy them, the space in them is limited.
But how much material has the black hand collected from most of Daxuan? Even with a hundred large storage rings, it can't be carried away. So where did all those materials go?
Speculations are rife, but the most common version is that he was buried on the spot, in mountains, soil or even rivers and seas where people were unaware.
I just waited for the storm to pass and took away the supplies bit by bit.
After this news came out, everyone felt that it made sense. Even if you are powerful, you can't have unlimited storage space. Moreover, Daya Pass was besieged before, and it was impossible to transport things there.
After the coalition forces retreated, everything could no longer be found, so the possibility of it being buried underground was very high.
Just when people thought this was the case, there were inexplicably more treasure maps on the market. The burial locations marked on these treasure maps were very clear, and the surrounding landmarks were also very accurate.
But no one believes it, because these treasure troves are from the street. I don’t know where they came from, but basically everyone has two or three copies. How can there be treasures in them?
But on the third day after the treasure map was circulated, a monk suddenly brought back 100,000 spirit gathering pills from outside the city.
At this moment, the market price of the Spirit Gathering Pill is already 500 pieces of spirit stone, and the stores are in very short supply. The monk sold it to a shop of a big family for 450 pieces, and earned 45 million pieces of spirit stone in the blink of an eye.
