Chapter 249
Just when Wang Sheng and Zhu Xiao were about to make a move, the intelligence personnel from Zhu Xiaoyue who came to the inn received the news the next day that the overlord-level force had made a move.
The information has been sorted out, and Zhu Xiao showed it to Wang Sheng.
[King Ming, King Wu, King Cang, and King Dong ordered a total of tens of thousands of warriors, including 60 master-level warriors, to go to various places for disaster relief, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops to escort food. The amount of food is difficult. Counting, preliminary estimates can help the common people through at least three months of difficult times.
At present, many people have been rescued and received corresponding food. Countless people are grateful to the four overlord-level forces. Someone enshrines the longevity tablet...
The following is the exact data, King Ming dispatched more than 20,000 warriors with food...]
Confidence has a lot of content, but the advantage of Yuelai Inn's information is that it will directly write out the key points, so Wang Sheng soon understood the basic situation.
In general, two months after the people were affected by the disaster, the four most powerful forces in the world took action.
Wang Sheng took a look at the food they had prepared. It was an astronomical figure that was hard to count. Otherwise, so many people would not be able to survive for three months.
"Surprised, the quantity of these grains is completely beyond imagination. I thought that my Yuelai Inn, as an inn all over the entire Zhou Dynasty, had amazing supplies, but compared with them, it is nothing short of a big deal. Already!"
Zhu Xiao naturally also saw the information. When she got it, she was already surprised. With such a huge number, almost every family is stronger than him.
Wang Sheng calmed down after being surprised, and said: "I looked at the detailed information. Although these grains are preserved by special methods to ensure that they are edible, many of them are old grains, which means that these grains have been prepared for a long time. Such a large grain transfer, does anyone know?"
"It's too easy for the overlord-level forces to hide these things, especially after the death of the great master of luck, and there is so much food on the market, there is no such thing in the market, except for me, it has not happened on a large scale Buy, where do you think these grains come from?"
Yuelai Inn is essentially a commercial organization, and it is extremely sensitive to market issues. Zhu Xiao knows very well that absolutely no force has ever conducted such a large transaction.
If you don't buy or sell it, then you have to grow it yourself, or steal the gun.
"The four factions didn't have so many people before this, and becoming a king is a recent thing. With so much food, it is basically possible to rule out the possibility of growing it yourself, so it is stealing and robbing, but the same reason, so If there is a lot of food, stealing and robbing will definitely be discovered, so there is only one method of stealing and robbing openly, and no one in the world will doubt it!"
"Taxation!" Wang Sheng said following Zhu Xiao's train of thought.
Yes, only taxation can obtain so much food aboveboard and without arousing too much suspicion.
"But the tax of Dazhou, before its demise, was levied in many places for ten or even decades. The people are not fools, right?"
"So this matter itself is the same as stealing and robbing." Zhu Xiao said quietly, "It is the officials of the Great Zhou that use the grain tax to rob the grain. What does it have to do with my overlord-level forces?"
Wang Sheng was like enlightened, he really didn't think of this.
It is the officials and the army of the Great Zhou who collect the grain tax. What does it have to do with our four kings?
But one thing is very important. Such a huge amount of grain must have been prepared several years in advance. Was the grain collected at that time really the Great Zhou Dynasty?
That's not necessarily the case!
Neither of them spoke. It's hard to say such a thing without any evidence.
However, both of them adjusted their mentality very quickly. Since the overlord-level forces have made a move, they don't need to force them. At least for now, the result is good.
"Compared with the food, I want to know if the Four Kings knew about this natural disaster in advance. After all, the food was prepared for this natural disaster!"
"I know!" Zhu Xiao answered the question directly, "In fact, I also had such doubts after seeing these situations, so I asked the clan elders directly, and the clan elders also directly said that it was indeed during the period when the dynasty collapsed. Within a short period of time, such things will happen, and the reason is unknown, but this kind of thing doesn't really matter to someone like me who doesn't intend to fight and will support the people himself, so I didn't say anything about it."
The truth is this, the four kings obviously use this kind of thing to win over the hearts of the people, and Zhu Xiao doesn't intend to participate, so it doesn't matter whether he knows it or not.
Of course, there is another important point, that is, this matter was not asked last time.
Wang Sheng coughed twice. The last time he asked, he only asked the questions he wanted, but he missed such important information.
The overlord-level forces knew this in advance, which represented a problem.
"That is to say, this kind of natural disaster has actually been repeated many times?"
"Yes, in fact, such things happen after the destruction of every dynasty, but no one knows the reason."
Wang Sheng looked at the sky.
"A natural disaster for no reason is really miraculous!"
"Is it related to the so-called 'Heavenly Father'?"
"I don't know, but it's possible. After all, such a natural disaster is really strange. The weather in different regions is indeed different, but it is impossible to have drought, flood, snowstorm, and storm at the same time in this land of Dazhou. Natural disasters, unless there is external intervention."
Wang Sheng knew about the climate of Dazhou when he was researching "calling the wind and calling the rain". This cannot be a natural situation, and there must be some external force affecting it.
"What good does it do?"
Zhu Xiao didn't quite understand, it didn't seem to do any good.
"That's not necessarily the case, don't you see that someone has gained a lot of benefits!"
The power of the Four Kings, after the end of this time, has gained a lot of benefits.
"The Four Kings probably don't have the ability to change such a huge celestial phenomenon?"
"That's why I feel weird!"
Wang Sheng and Zhu Xiao stopped talking and looked at the sky together. The more they knew, the more suspicious they became about this kind of thing.
Finally Zhu Xiao sighed and said: "According to what the clan elders said, this kind of natural disaster usually lasts for three months to half a year. No matter what, with the support of these warriors and food, it is still impossible to survive this natural disaster." What's the problem."
Almost two months have passed since the natural disaster, and there is no big problem with what the four kings took out to let all the people spend the rest of the time.
In the end, Zhu Xiao left, and the forces of the Four Kings took action, and she would not stop at Yuelai Inn.
After all, none of the forces of the four kings sent their food to the places she was supporting before, and her Yuelai Inn still needed to continue to deliver food, and the Yuelai Inn family had a big business, otherwise, it would not be able to withstand such a production.
But Wang Sheng also knew that Zhu Xiao would not give up.
When chatting before, Zhu Xiao said that she had not been in the family for a long time. At that time, he established the first Yuelai Inn. In the end, it rose, and the business of Yuelai Inn became bigger and bigger.
Therefore, most of the Yuelai Inn is doing business that ordinary people can afford, which can be regarded as Zhu Xiao's feedback.
There is no goodwill for no reason, the cause of the past has the result of the present.
After Zhu Xiao left, Wang Sheng also continued to practice.
Although Yu Jian's flying and breaking the limit of forging are fun, the most important thing is one's own strength, which takes time.
Neidanshu and Baduanjin are the core of his practice.
Time passed slowly, and soon two more months passed.
Wang Sheng's strength gradually improved. He basically practiced a few exercises every day, and then let his flying sword absorb metal to improve its quality.
The quality of the two flying swords is almost the same. The metal that has been absorbed for so long can be said to be the world's top material.
Feijian also became stronger.
The Black Dragon Spear and the Fire Bead are also being sacrificed, but the quality of the two cannot be improved. It can only be said that they are more handy to use.
Then there's the army.
Although the power of "Incense Faith" he obtained every day has been greatly reduced, the power of "Incense Faith" that was suppressed before has not decreased at all, it is still a lot, so it is necessary to study the power of formations.
Of course, although the level of the military formation is gradually improving, the formation he envisioned is still far behind. He has a hunch that it will take some time to suppress the power of this "incense belief".
"take it easy!"
It was also the first time he knew that the power of "Incense Belief" was so "difficult". He obviously didn't want it, but he couldn't get rid of it easily.
There has been no qualitative change in cultivation, but the external situation has changed rapidly.
The first is natural disasters. As two months have passed, the impact of natural disasters has gradually weakened. Without the violence at the beginning, the lives of the people have improved a lot, because of the manpower and food of the four kings, although I still don’t know how many people died in the middle. People, but at least they have gradually overcome this disaster.
Then there is the person Wang Sheng has been paying attention to, Huang Tian.
There are two places where he obtained information, one is the information of the three major families, and the other is the Yuelai Inn.
This time it was information obtained at the Yuelai Inn.
In the five central states where the Four Kings have not touched for the time being, a force called the Taiping Sect has risen.
And the leader of the Taiping Sect is called Huang Tian, and he even has a nickname, Tianshi!
A teacher from heaven, guiding everyone to the ideal world.
"Why doesn't it look right!"
It seemed like he was trying to fool people, but according to the information obtained, Zhu Xiao still had a very high opinion of Huang Tian, and even had some kind of support.
The appearance of the Taiping Sect indicated that Huang Tian was officially on the stage.
"It looks like you should have reached the Grand Master level, let's see if you can withstand the pressure!"
