Chapter 863 The Biggest Surprise

Opening Shi Lei's report, the content mainly reported to him the details of the subsequent situation.

Among them, Jie Liancheng had woken up after a night of coma and was not in danger of life, which made Zhou Xu feel relieved.

At the end of the report, Shi Lei undoubtedly mentioned the situation in Pingyuan City.

This time, the total population of their Great Zhou increased by more than 20,000.

As a border city of Liang State, the total population of Pingyuan City was relatively small, with only more than 3,000 people, but in the invasion of the greenskins, less than 1,000 people escaped to Yuancheng alive.

Among them, the 500 garrisons arranged by their Great Zhou in Pingyuan City were almost wiped out.

Coupled with the casualties of their Great Zhou cavalry in the subsequent battle of Yuancheng, this wave of losses is not small.

According to Shi Lei's idea, the existence of greenskins is likely to turn the location of Pingyuan City into a high-risk area.

Now that Plain City has become an empty city, it is better to transform it into a fortress for storing troops and comprehensively improve the city defense level. In the future, whether it is to resist the attacks of greenskins or dwarves, it can show better results.

Obviously, after the incident, Shi Lei, who thought about it carefully, also figured it out and didn't dare to think too well of the dwarves.

It must be said that Shi Lei and he thought the same thing on this matter.

After experiencing this greenskin invasion, the risk of Plain City can no longer be ignored. Instead of continuing to develop as a city, it is better to simply transform it into a border fortress, so as to further improve the border defense level.

Of course, to achieve this point, the mobilization of a large number of labor forces and the injection of financial funds are necessary.

At this moment, Zhou Xu has begun to look up the next project arrangements of their Great Zhou.

The project of transforming Plain City into a Plain Fortress will directly affect the safety of their Great Zhou Xinbei District. There is no doubt that it is important and must be started as soon as possible.

For this reason, some projects that are in the queue have to be postponed, and the financial funds on hand have to be readjusted.

In addition, although the specific list of soldiers who died in the war has not yet been released, the pensions that need to be paid will undoubtedly have to be vacated in advance to avoid too much financial pressure and the inability to spend in time.

This part has a huge impact and it is absolutely not allowed to go wrong.

As a result, the financial funds within their Great Zhou have really become tight all of a sudden.

Not only do many projects need to be postponed, but the financial funds of some ongoing projects must also be appropriately reduced.

Of course, with limited financial funds, how to adjust and dispatch them specifically to make them work is not something he has to worry about.

"Go and give this to the Minister of Finance, and let him write an adjustment plan as quickly as possible."

The specific calculations and adjustments will be done by the Minister of Finance. He only needs to mark out the projects that can be postponed and the very important projects that cannot be reduced.

After receiving the document sent directly from their Majesty to the Ministry of Finance, the Minister of Finance took a look, put down the document, and scratched his head vigorously.

He scratched a few hairs invisibly, making his head brighter, and his expression became painful.

Their Great Zhou has many projects waiting in line, and the financial funds collected every year are often arranged clearly at the beginning of the year, without any extra money!

After that, whether it is adding new projects, adjusting the order of queued projects, or increasing new expenditures, it will affect the whole body, and basically all projects have to be adjusted accordingly.

When he thought of this, the Minister of Finance became even more painful.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"

Inside the department, a sudden shouting sounded in grief and anger, which scared the newcomers. Their hands trembled and the documents were scattered all over the floor.

"What, what's going on?!"

Compared to the frightened newcomers, the old people in the department were very calm. Many people didn't even raise their heads, and their attention was completely focused on the documents in front of them.

This made the newcomer even more confused.

Just when he didn't know what to do, the senior who was in charge of leading him rolled his eyelids.

"It's the minister who called me. It's a common thing. You'll get used to it."

"..."

Then time quietly entered winter.

This winter, Zhou Xu did not stay in the palace of Xianyang City, but rushed to Xinbei District.

Now that the territory has been occupied, it must be developed in the future. For this reason, he must first inspect the situation and make plans for the subsequent development.

Walking from Anling City, after passing through the border city of Xinbei District, Zhou Xu went straight to Daliang City.

There was no fanfare. They changed into casual clothes. After meeting with the people arranged by Shi Lei, they entered the city in a very low-key manner, focusing on saving trouble throughout the journey.

The internal planning of the city here can only be said to be standard. According to his thinking, these cities will have to be rebuilt in the future.

The palace is built quite decently, but it can also be seen that it is a bit old.

Since they occupied Daliang City, the palace has been sealed off, and not a single blade of grass or tree has been moved.

After entering the palace, Zhou Xu opened his "Peeping Eyes" and began his treasure hunt.

I never thought that the emperor of Liang was more honest than Yan Sheng. He didn't have any underground secret rooms. All the good things were hidden directly in the treasury of the palace.

They had never seen any mantras in the previous battles with Liang. Zhou Xu didn't think it was strange, after all, the mantras themselves were not so common.

After arriving at the treasury of the Liang Palace, all the answers were revealed.

It's not that Liang didn't have the mantras, but that they were unlucky and didn't get the complete mantras.

At this moment, a pile of fragments with mantra characters attached were being placed in a thick treasure chest.

The copper lock that was originally buckled on the treasure chest had been chopped off by Silk's sword.

Reaching out his hand, Zhou Xu absorbed the mantra characters into his body one by one.

Thanks to the tolerance provided by his talent, he has not encountered any mantra characters that are not compatible with him so far.

During this period, he also met an "old friend", that is, the phrase "skull".

Although the Emperor of Liang obtained the phrase "skull", he still could not use it because he did not have other corresponding mantra characters to combine with it.

But when it came to Zhou Xu, the situation was different.

Although he already had this mantra phrase, after absorbing the repeated phrase, he could directly increase the strength of the related mantra.

He had quite a few mantras around "skull", which in disguise gave him a lot of enhancements.

However, what he did not expect was that the biggest surprise of this wave was the last mantra character placed in the corner of the box...
