From Kowloon's Inheritance

Chapter 349 The Granary Is On Fire
A plague of locusts broke out in Youzhou.

And that's just native locusts.

As the disaster continued, Li Mu issued orders one by one, and the closed grain stores opened one after another.

At the same time, the railway construction plan was issued, and the construction of the railway began.

At this moment, in a valley, grain is piled up like hills, densely packed, and it looks like a daydream.

The food that once disappeared in the treasury appeared here.

"The locust plague broke out..."

In the valley, Venerable Kong Min said, looking at the locusts flying around like flies above his head, he said lightly.

"Marquis Wushuang, you are very, very powerful... Before I shot, I found out that there was a food shortage, and I found out the shortcomings half a year in advance. If it was half a year later, there might be no grain left in the granary, but now there is more than half of the grain in the granary, which is enough Support the immediate crisis!"

"Besides, there are also food in the granaries of various families. If you are in a hurry, you can also ask these families!"

"There are also fried locusts, etc..."

A flash of admiration flashed in the eyes of Venerable Kong Min, "If this continues, it will really help Li Mu to tide over the difficulties!"

"No, next, Li Mu will realize that the front is not going to the gate of heaven, but step by step to hell!" Venerable Baiyun said with a smile: "Next, the food will be burned, and the common people will starve to death. Soon there will be a wave of refugees!"

"You said the first wave of refugees, when will it appear?"

Venerable Chi Xiao said: "It may be ten days later, or it may be a month later!"

"As long as there is a wave of refugees, it will burn like wildfire. It will be bigger and bigger, and it will sweep the world and become the vanguard of weakening Youzhou's forces. Then, the Yuantu cavalry will invade and sweep in. Even if they can't break through the killing tiger's mouth, It will seriously damage Youzhou's vitality!"

"At that time, coupled with various civil strife, the Qi of the Great Zhou Dynasty was exhausted, and the heavens signaled that a new dynasty is ushering in... This is the destiny, and no one can change it."

Venerable Li Chen laughed. "Li Mu, it's nothing more than a mantis arm as a car!"

Tweet!

At this time, a goshawk descended from the sky, and a bamboo tube was tied to the goshawk's leg.

Venerable Lichen opened the bamboo tube, and there was a letter inside. When he read the letter, his expression kept changing, and finally he said, "No, something big is going to happen! Li Mu wants to build a railway!"

"What is a railway?"

Venerable Kong Min said.

"Look, this is the railway, this is the train!" In the letter, he described the train in detail and described the situation of the railway.

The faces of the people couldn't help but change drastically.

The speed of the train is very slow, not as fast as that of a congenital warrior. It can be described as extremely tasteless, but it is indeed of great benefit to the country.

Food can be transported across the country and allocated reasonably. As long as there is not a nationwide famine, the famine will no longer affect it.

Railways can be used to quickly deploy troops. The bigger the country, the greater the benefits.

Trains are not as fast as innate warriors, but innate warriors are not as good as trains in endurance.

As long as the train burns coal, it can keep moving forward;
But a congenital warrior, running continuously for three hours, just needs to rest for a while, otherwise his body will not be able to support it.

"It seems that we are in serious trouble... If the railway is built, the train is built, will there be a way for us to survive?" Venerable Kong Min said worriedly.Everything was planned well, but with the construction of the train, things turned sour.

"Can we stop it?" Venerable Baiyun said.

"It's hard to stop!" Venerable Li Chen said, "Is it difficult to build the railway? It's not difficult at all! Only a construction team of 1000 innate warriors is needed, and a hundred miles can be built in ten days. According to what Li Mu said, the construction can be done in stages , the speed will become faster."

"Three-thousand-mile railway, it takes fifteen days to slow down, and ten days to speed up is enough. It only takes one month to open to traffic after dealing with other things! The speed is too fast!"

"Of course, congenital warriors can only respond in a short period of time. To build the railway, ordinary people need to be the mainstay. It may take a little longer, but the benefits to the people are obvious, and the emperor's benefits are too obvious!"

Is there any difficulty in realizing Li Mu's plan of three horizontals and five verticals?
Really not difficult?
It only takes three years to hurry up, and ten years to slow down.

"Is there a way to destroy the railway construction?" Venerable Baiyun asked.

"cannot!"

Venerable Li Chen said: "This time the railway construction is mainly carried out by various merchants. As for Li Mu's warriors, they are mainly responsible for supervision and acceptance. It is obvious that they are on guard against something. Even if it is destroyed once or twice, it cannot be destroyed all the time. Once caught, our Longevity Sect will really stink!"

There are some things that Longevity Cult can do, such as opposing the emperor, such as rebelling.

But there are some things that cannot be done, such as killing people on a large scale, killing some officials, and doing some evil things.

The benefits of building the railway are great, and everyone can see that once the Changsheng religion really sends people to destroy the construction of the railway, it will have a bad reputation at that time.

Many bad things can be done behind the scenes, but they cannot be put on the table.

"Then what should we do? Just watch Li Mu continue to do it... We can't do anything!" Venerable Li Chen said.

"The situation is going to change, and it's not just a railway that can stop it!" Venerable Kong Min laughed, "What Li Mu did was just a mantis' arm as a car!"

…………

On a messy field, the people roared with bitter hatred, and chased the locusts with their pockets.

The locusts have gnawed away all the green they can see, and the whole Chuzhou is barren.

Locusts are green creatures that chase after greenery where nothing grows, and then set off again for another place.

The locust plague has appeared for three or three days, and there has not been a large number of refugee waves.

The motivation to start eradicating the locusts is quite strong, but seeing the endless locusts seem to be endless, the people are a little slack.

Later, martial arts people joined in, and the number of locusts eradicated increased.

The innate martial artist used swordsmanship, and wherever he went, the locusts within ten meters were wiped out.

Grandmasters, grand masters, etc., can kill locusts faster.

The extermination of locusts continues.

Countless locusts were killed, but countless locusts were born again.

The number of locusts has decreased a lot, and some of them have flown to other areas.

Li Mu estimates that the grain harvest is a foregone conclusion, and he can only keep as much as three floors from previous years.

Many people have to live on relief food.

August this year, August next year, it will be another difficult year.

Winter is the hardest, and some seeds have to be saved. If the food in the granary is given out, the situation can be maintained, but it means that the food in the granary will continue to consume as much as three floors, leaving less than one floor.

There is food at home, so don't panic.

Always leave some pressed grain.

The only good news is that the speed of railway construction is faster than expected.

It only takes ten days, and the three-thousand-mile railway is completed.There are less than ten stops along the way, mainly for adding coal and water.The transportation is mainly freight, no passenger transportation.

"The first wave has passed, let's see if the three frontier kings can stop the grassland locusts from crossing the border!"

Li Mu said in his heart.

"Not good! The granary is on fire!" At this time, Hua Wuying came and came with bad news.

Ps: The second update arrives!
