-------------------
After being questioned, Yasha Xunhai was driven away by Ao Yan. If this Yasha Xunhai originally planned to serve Ao Yan, it was probably an intention to curry favor with Ao Yan.
The idea of Patrol Yaksha is very simple. When this real dragon becomes an adult, he will always be independent. At that time, he will need a group of cronies to take care of the sea area under his jurisdiction. Now that he is close to Ao Yan, why not It's a high-ranking official like a patrolling general.
But Ao Yan's side is not something that Xunhai Yasha can stay with all the time. Not long after, this Xunhai Yasha is out of breath, his demonic aura is weak, and he almost feels like he is about to die.
Ao Yan drove it away for its own good, but seeing that the sea patrolling Yasha was unwilling to leave, Ao Yan probably understood what this guy was thinking, so he simply gave him the title of sea patrolling general and sent him away. To the seas of chaos.
For the title given by Ao Yan, Yacha Xunhai almost fainted from excitement.
Although there is no one under the Xunhai Yasha at this time, when he left, an inexplicable adjutant authority appeared, and he walked with eight-character steps. I'm going to fall headfirst.
Wei Xiaobei was stunned by this scene, and couldn't help but sigh, this kind of thing seems to be regardless of race, as long as he becomes an official, it will be different from before.
"It feels a little different."
Actually. This Sea Patrol Yaksha is really different at this time, although Wei Xiaobei didn't check it with Master of Everything. But you can also see the changes in the breath of Yasha Xunhai.
A trace of Aoyan's unique dragon spirit emerged from the patrolling Yaksha. Its strength is slowly improving under the effect of this dragon energy.
Although this kind of improvement is difficult to detect, it is long-lasting. According to this speed, I am afraid that within three months, the strength of this Patrol Yaksha will be able to reach the four-star average!
And the beginning of this change was just that Ao Yan promoted him to be a patrolling general!
During this period, no dragon soul was given. There is no dragon blood, etc., just a word.
This is also a little too amazing.
For this reason, Wei Xiaobei specifically questioned Ao Yan.
And Ao Yan's answer made Wei Xiaobei think a little bit.
The general idea is that the dragon is the head of a hundred scales, and it is born by gathering a hundred scales. There was a trace of dragon's blood hidden in the body of Yasha Xunhai. Ao Yan's words activated the blood in his body.
In time, that patrolling Yaksha might become a half-breed dragon.
To be honest, Wei Xiaobei wanted to catch that sea-watching Yasha at this time, and smoked some genes to see.
But there's no need to rush this matter. Anyway, there is still some time before leaving the gray world.
After talking to Wei Xiaobei for a few words, Ao Yan became sleepy again, laying his huge dragon head on the ground, and fell asleep again.
Wei Xiaobei originally planned to comfort Ao Yan with something delicious, but you must know that the hundred sea fish that he caught had to be cooked and eaten before they could be counted into the fishing skill task.
But seeing the situation, Wei Xiaobei could only leave temporarily.
Crossing the desert, Wei Xiaobei stood at the junction of the great plain and the desert, looking at the great plain with a rather dumbfounded look.
The Great Plains at this time are completely different from when Wei Xiaobei left.
Its area alone seems to have expanded by more than ten times, and the Tiewei Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist in the distance is almost invisible.
The Great Plains are full of verdant farmlands, and villages stand here and there, and occasionally a town can be seen.
This change is too big, right?
Wei Xiaobei felt that his mind was muddled, and he walked slowly to the gate of Zhao Yunjun's camp.
Seeing Wei Xiaobei coming back, the general guarding the gate immediately checked Wei Xiaobei's token.
If there is no token, it will be more troublesome to enter the camp.
After entering the gate of the camp, Wei Xiaobei went all the way, a lot of acquaintances, everyone was a little happy to see Wei Xiaobei coming back, and said hello.
For this reason, Wei Xiaobei delayed for a while.
The big account of the Chinese army!
The guards on both sides, seeing Wei Xiaobei's return, did not say hello, just nodded to Wei Xiaobei, but Zhao Tong just opened the curtain, came out with a letter in his hand, saw Wei Xiaobei hurriedly Aloud: "Second Uncle is back?"
It could be seen that Zhao Tong was wearing casual clothes at this time, so he addressed Wei Xiaobei as his second uncle.
"Brother is in there?"
Wei Xiaobei nodded and asked.
Zhao Tong probably had something urgent to do, so he didn't say much, so he left immediately.
When Wei Xiaobei entered the tent of the Chinese army, he saw Zhao Yun sitting in front of the commander's seat, with various documents on the case, his brows were slightly frowned.
"Brother!"
Wei Xiaobei called out, Zhao Yun raised his head, saw that it was Wei Xiaobei who came back, he couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Second brother, you are considered to be back, come here, come and help me see."
Wei Xiaobei was curious as to what could embarrass Zhao Yun.
Afterwards, Wei Xiaobei was a little surprised after taking the document from Zhao Yun's hand and looking at it for a while.
Although Wei Xiaobei had seen some of the situation on the Great Plains before, it was just a slight eye scratch.
Now after reading these documents, Wei Xiaobei understands what is going on in the Great Plains now.
To put it simply, the Great Plain now has more than a thousand villages, more than two hundred small towns, ten county towns, and a total population of more than two hundred thousand.
Even in the heyday of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this can be called prosperity.
And Zhao Yun's headaches at this time probably include the following things.
First, the grain output in the Great Plains is very high, but the low grain prices hurt the farmers. Many grain merchants took advantage of the bumper harvest and tried their best to lower the grain prices, which caused the farmers to complain.
To say that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is unbelievable that farmers would still complain about the bumper harvest of grain, but this also shows that the Great Plains produced a lot of grain.
Second, the income of residents in counties and small towns has dropped sharply, and there are also complaints.
Third, Zhao Yunjun's tax revenue has been reduced.
Well, Wei Xiaobei looked at these three problems, and couldn't help saying: "These three problems are actually one problem, food cannot be sold."
The price of food is low, and the farmers have no money to go to the county town, the town to spend, buy daily necessities, etc., and this transaction cannot be made, so the taxes Zhao Yunjun needs are naturally not much.
Zhao Yun nodded: "Master Zhuge also mentioned this point. He proposed that the army should pay for food, but the battalion doesn't have much money, and a cup of water is not enough to pay for a car."
It's true that Zhao Yunjun doesn't have any money, but Zhuge Zhuge's brains are not bad if he can come up with this method.
"Since this is the case, how about opening a trading market in each county and town, allowing farmers and residents to trade and barter? And Zhao Yunjun can also participate in it, using sea salt, salted fish, and ironware as trading items."
Wei Xiaobei didn't do much research on this kind of thing, but his brain turned quickly, and after thinking for a while, he came up with a suggestion.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he couldn't help being overjoyed, he hurriedly asked his soldiers to call Master Zhuge, and then he patted Wei Xiaobei's shoulder hard: "Second brother, this time I have helped my brother a lot."
Although Wei Xiaobei's suggestion was crude, it made good use of what Zhao Yunjun had to solve this problem.
You must know that because the soldiers on the other side of the beach are constantly fishing and drying salt in shifts day and night, sea salt and salted fish are piled up like a mountain in the warehouse of Zhao Yun's army.
As for the ironware, thanks to the blessing of the Iron Surrounding Mountain, from time to time, a small wave of iron and stone monsters would attack Zhao Yunjun's defense line, leaving behind a lot of corpses.
These corpses are enough for the entire Zhao Yun army to make weapons. Besides, it is not difficult for the leftover scraps to be used to make some ordinary ironware.
You know, those farmers can weave clothes, vegetables and so on by themselves, but salt and ironware are absolutely indispensable.
Of course, if Zhao Yunjun got involved, it would definitely have an impact on those businessmen, but social and economic problems are not so easy to solve.
As long as the farmer's side is stabilized and the supply of soldiers is guaranteed, the rest is trivial.
When Master Zhuge arrived, he met Zhao Yun first, and then greeted Wei Xiaobei.
When Zhao Yun explained Wei Xiaobei's method, Zhuge Zhuge couldn't help laughing: "This is really a gift from heaven for our army!"
Hearing this, Wei Xiaobei couldn't help but twitched his mouth, saying that he used to watch Romance of the Three Kingdoms or something, and those people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were a little exaggerated.
What is an army of 800,000, what can be worth 100,000 with such a talented person, what is a strategy that allows the lord to win such and such without any effort, there are too many.
What kind of talent are you? This method is easy to get in reality, and Wei Xiaobei always feels that his method will cause some troubles in the future.
Of course, Wei Xiaobei was very happy to hear others praise him, but in Zhao Yun's army, the most strategic person was recognized as Zhuge Zhuge.
What's more, he is Zhuge Liang's nephew! Being praised by this person, Wei Xiaobei felt somewhat praised by Zhuge Liang.
Well, no matter what, Wei Xiaobei finally reminded Master Zhuge of the possible sequelae of this method.
The biggest disadvantage of this method is that Zhao Yunjun may replace those merchants and become the only party to trade with farmers. If this is the case, the residents of those counties and small towns will have a hard time.
Therefore, this method requires Master Zhuge to find a way to make up for the loopholes.
Hearing what Wei Xiaobei said, Zhuge Zhuge nodded his head, thanked Wei Xiaobei, and expressed that he would definitely pay attention to this matter, but for the current plan, it needs to be arranged in advance.
As soon as Master Zhuge left, Wei Xiaobei also bid farewell to Zhao Yun, but as soon as he left the tent of the Chinese army, he could smell the tempting aroma of food wafting from the direction of the kitchen.
Wei Xiaobei couldn't help laughing when he smelled this smell. It seems that after his own guidance, the cooking skills of this group have improved a lot, and it is no longer like the unpleasant smell like boiled water before. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
