Chapter 378 The Value of Food (Please Subscribe! Please Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
The Qi army led by Chuzi had all been captured, so what about Tian Ying's Xue Cheng army?
But with a little resistance, he followed in the footsteps of the Qi army.
When all the dust settled, Ling Qing sat in the official office, accompanied by the magistrate of Huyi City, listening to the reports of all parties.
Linguo is not like Qi Wei and other countries, where the land and cities are divided into the hands of the clan and even the nobles.
Instead, like the Qin State and later generations, the county government was established.
Today, the person in charge of Huyi City is not called the Lord of the City or the Lord of the City, but the County Magistrate.
Under it are the county magistrate who is in charge of the document warehouse, etc., and the county magistrate who is in charge of public security and arresting robbers.
At this time, the county captain of Hu Yicheng came to report in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, there are too many people in Qi, and there is simply no room for them to be placed in prison."
"Now they are trapped by the chains of Mosha, and they can't make any waves."
Ling Qing sat on the main seat and said calmly.
"Send an order to Lingqiu City to 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 to convey Lingqing's meaning to Sikou's mansion.
"Isn't your majesty going to return these Qi soldiers?"
Pu Chang, the county magistrate of Fox Yicheng, asked Ling Qing.
He himself is a native of Lingguo, and he participated in the defense of Qi State's attack on Lingqiu City last time.
Later, he passed the first Lingtai selection, was awarded the title of sergeant, and taught in Lingming Academy for several months.
After Cao Gong offered the city, he asked Yan Ru to govern one side.
After investigation, he reported to Lingqing and ordered him to be the magistrate of Huyi City.
This edict was issued by Ling Qing herself.
"What are you doing to them?"
Ling Qing raised his brows, "The last time Qi State gave him a thousand people back, it was because Ling State was unable to support it at that time.
Now my Ling Kingdom lacks nothing but people, since King Qi has good intentions, how can I not accept it? "
There are two kinds of grain and grass in Lingguo, one is refined jade rice, which needs to be carefully cultivated in the construction of Lingtian.
However, with the addition of Xu Xing, a great sage, and under the influence of Jishen, the output is not small.
The other is common grains.
In the hands of a group of Siji Mansion 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.
And Lingqing holds the power of the evil energy of the earth, and can mobilize the power of the earth buried deep in the ground to support the growth of grains.
So basically, since the selection of talents in Lingtai, Lingguo has never been short of food.
Now the treasury has a large amount of food and grass stocked, and every household in Lingguo is also full of food.
Even if another 100,000 people come, Lingguo can afford it.
This can also be regarded as the answer sheet delivered by Ling Qing to Xu Xing.
What the farmers worry about is that the whole world is like the Zhu Kingdom, the upper-class nobles are rich in wine and meat, while the lower-class people have no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies.
However, after using spells or cultivating high-yielding grain seeds, after harvesting inexhaustible grain.
If prices are adjusted properly, as long as there is no corrupt ruling class that regards human life as nothing, 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 of the rulers.
It's better to find a way to let everyone plant a seed at will, and they can get inexhaustible food.
Of course, this is not the best way, and there must be 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 of lack of food.
Thinking of these things in her heart, Ling Qing dealt with the matters beyond the scope of Pu Chang's duties one by one.
Looking at him and Zhang Yang said.
"Both of you, get ready and take Xue Cheng down with me."
"Here!"
After the two looked at each other, they clasped their hands together.
This is what it should mean, now all the soldiers of Xuecheng have been captured, even Tian Ying, who is the Lord of the city, has fallen into his hands.
The current Xuecheng is an empty city. If we don't take it now, when will we wait?
At present, Lingqing rides on the back of the green lion, and the officials of Huyicheng led by Pu Chang serve as the Chinese army.
The Disha army led by Di Kuixing and the mechanism beast army led by Zhang Yang are the front and rear armies.
After a while, they arrived at Xuecheng.
Looking at the city which was a circle bigger than Lingqiu City, Zhang Yang waved his hand.
More than two thousand organ beasts roared and rushed up the city wall.
It was useless to attack the army, but after a cup of tea, Ling Qing was sitting in Xuecheng again.
"Tian Wen has seen Duke Ling!"
When Tian Ying's family members were captured, everyone was terrified, only a short young man came out to watch Lingqing worship.
"Tian Wen?"
Lingqing heard the words and looked up, only to see that the future Lord Mengchang was less than five feet tall and less than twenty years old.
The divine light in the eyes is bright and full of courage, but the eyes are more white than black, and there is a sense of the eagle watching the wolf.
Obviously not a person who is willing to be inferior to others.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Linggong, I would like to worship under Linggong's door, and hope that Linggong will not give up!"
Tian Wen jerked his head and knelt on the ground and said.
"Oh? You are just one of Tian Ying's forty sons, and now even your father has been captured by me, and the lives of your whole family are at my fingertips.
What good is your allegiance to me? "
"Mr. Ling has now captured my father, defeated Chuzi, and occupied Xuecheng.
It seems to have won a big victory and gained a lot.
Ran Chen was worried about Lingguo and Linggong in his heart. "
Tian Wen was refreshed when he heard the words, and he straightened up and said.
"What are you talking about?"
Ling Qing asked lightly after hearing the words.
"Let's not talk about how the 50,000 surrendered troops will be settled, now that Lingguo has acquired the land of Xuecheng, it will have to face Chu.
Previously, Xuecheng was in the hands of Qi State, and Chu State would not provoke it easily due to the strength of Qi State and my father's prestige.
But now that it is in the hands of Linguo, not only King Qi will not give up easily, even King Chu will not let go of this opportunity to get Xuecheng.
Even the King of Song may have a hand in it.
And all the countries want Xuecheng, but how can Xuecheng satisfy their appetite.
After they took Xuecheng, they would definitely destroy the Linguo and occupy the land of the Linguo.
Therefore, I believe that it is unwise for Linggong to take Xuecheng. "
"Then what do you think I should do?"
Ling Qing still looked at him lightly and said.
Tian Wen paused when he heard the words, his expression froze, such a calm reaction was beyond his expectation.
In his opinion, Ling Qing would either dismiss her and reprimand her for alarmist talk.
Either be sincerely convinced and treat him with courtesy.
No matter what the situation is, he has a countermeasure in mind.
But such an indifferent reaction made him mutter in his heart.
But seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he could only continue talking.
"I think it is better to return Xuecheng to Qi State in exchange for Ligu, Wucheng and other places.
In this way, although the area where the border of Qi State meets becomes larger, at least there is no need to face the pressure of Chu and Song.
If Duke Ling is worried that he will find trouble with Lingguo after the incident of Qiguo, I have another way. "
After all, Tian Wen looked up at Ling Qing's expression.
