Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1431 Famine and Natural Disaster 589
As for the Feng family and the two tribes on the grassland, Zhou Ting did not have a good face towards them.

One reason was that the Feng family had offended him when they met him, and the other reason was that their sincerity was much lower than that of the Gong family and the Tian family.

The Gong and Tian clans were obviously weaker than the other three clans, and they were willing to contribute 100,000 grains and fodder; but the other three clans were unwilling to do so and only gave 20,000 grains and fodder.

Sending away beggars?!
Mingyi watched coldly as these people who had no vision and could not see the situation clearly stepped down.

"Master Shizi"

Before Wu Tu could finish his words, Feng Wuji, the patriarch of the Feng family, interrupted him and said, "My Lord, the Feng family is willing to add another 100,000 grains and fodder, boxes that can hold 50 kilograms of things, and 20 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry."

Wutu was speechless.

It would have been fine if the Feng clan had fallen behind the Tian and Gong clans, but they saw that something was not going right and immediately decided to increase their stakes.

Don't talk about martial arts!

"My Lord, my Gesang clan will give us another 100,000 grains and fodders, 2,000 cattle and sheep each, and 20 boxes of gold and silver, which we will pack in 50-jin boxes like Chief Feng did. We only ask that my Lord can give us a piece of land for recuperation." After giving them so many benefits, it wouldn't be too much to give their clan a piece of land with abundant grass and water, right?

Thinking about it is one thing, not being able to say it out loud is another.

Wutu looked at Feng Wuji provocatively. So what if he robbed him? Wasn’t it more than what he gave?
Feng Wuji didn't even glance at him, just smiled faintly and waited for the person above to speak.

The chief of the Wurigen tribe stood up and bowed to add to the gesture.

"My Wurigen tribe is short of food and fodder. Please forgive us, my lord. We are willing to offer a gold mine and a thousand cattle and sheep."

This time, everyone’s chips are not far apart.

Zhou Ting gave them a friendly look, "I already know your intentions. You all came with sincerity, and I cannot stand by and watch you die. How about this, I will arrange for your five clans to return to the former Ning Kingdom, and I will allocate a piece of land for you to recuperate in the current Ning City."

"This..." Wutu hesitated, frowning and thinking.

The heads of the Tian and Gong families spoke up boldly, "The Tian/Gong families are willing to go, and a certain generation of the clan would like to thank the Crown Prince for his kindness."

Zhou Ting looked at the two clan leaders calmly. They were particularly aware of the current situation.

The other three tribes still want to stay in the northwest.

Seeing this, Wutu bowed again and said, "Ge Sang thanks His Majesty for your grace. Wutu is willing to lead the people there. Wutu has a request, and I hope His Majesty can agree to it."

"Tell me."

"The Gesang clan makes a living by raising livestock, and they hope to have a piece of lush habitat for their people to live in."

He glanced at Chief Wu Rigen with deep eyes, then retracted his gaze in an instant and said, "The grassland tribes do rely on animal husbandry for health. I know there is a place where no one lives now. This place is close to the river and has lush vegetation. It can be used to raise cattle and sheep. However, the grass and water here are not as fertile as the grassland. Can Chief Wutu and Chief Wu Rigen accept it?"

"I don't know where this place is and what the environment is like. Is it a big place?" Wutu was not at all shy and spoke frankly.

Chief Wu Rigen's eyes flickered, and he was also concerned about this.

Zhou Ting said: "The place is open, with lots of grass and convenient water sources. It's a bit remote. If you agree, I will send my men to take you there and settle you down."

"I agree." Chief Wu Rigen nodded first.

Seeing this, Wutu could no longer ask for benefits, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"That place is called Wuyuan. It has mountains and grasslands. We will divide the land among you after you go there. However, after you go there, you will have the first year to rest and recuperate. From the second year onwards you will have to abide by the laws of the Northwest, and taxation will also have to follow the rules of the Northwest. If you are unwilling to comply, then please find another place to survive." Ugly words were put in front of us.

Don't think that once they arrive at a place and occupy the land, it belongs to them.

"Yes! Wu Rigenbu is willing."

"Gesang is willing."

After dealing with four clans, only the Feng clan remained.

Feng Wuji sighed silently and agreed to Zhou Ting's arrangement; his original plan was to enter the northwest, occupy a piece of land in the northwest, slowly integrate into the northwest, and return to the pinnacle of power. Unfortunately, the prince of Zhou Wangfu is a man who is more shrewd than a human.

The things were delivered to the palace, and Steward Luo was responsible for counting them. After the handover was completed, Zhou Ting sent An San to call General Wu Lue to bring 20,000 people to escort the five tribes to Ningguo.

Solve a group of destabilizing factors and harvest countless food, gold, silver, jewelry, natural treasures, cattle, sheep, and furs.

The Northwest Army's food and fodder increased again. It reached 440,000 kilograms, which seemed like a lot, but was not enough for more than 400,000 Northwest Army soldiers to eat for three days.

Back at Tao Yiyuan, Ming Yi asked in confusion: "The five clans have a deep foundation, why do you want more?"

With an army of hundreds of thousands, the daily food consumption is huge. These clans would feel like they are at a loss if they don't extort some of the food from them.

"It's true that they have a deep foundation, but they not only have clan members to support, but also have troops. A family has at least several thousand to tens of thousands of troops, and these troops also require huge family wealth to support. Instead of rushing to empty them, it is better to let them pay taxes every year."

"Taxes in our northwest are not heavy to begin with, so it shouldn't be difficult for them." Mingyi raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Ting shook his head and chuckled, stroking the little head in his arms, "The taxes are not heavy, but they rely on our Northwest Army to keep them safe. They also hand over a portion of their profits every year. Otherwise, how do you think the Northwest Army has been expanding over the years, and how have they been able to support themselves with food and money?"

Mingyi raised her eyelids to look at his handsome face, smiling so meaningfully.

"You mean, the Northwestern clans and dignitaries will pay an extra portion of their profits every year?"

"Of course!" Zhou Ting's eyes turned a little colder. "If they don't want to pay, that's fine. The privileges we gave them can also be taken back. They will figure out the importance of this."

Mingyi frowned slightly. It's not like she had never seen the flow of food and grass before, but she didn't notice these things. "Who is handling the revenue that was handed in?"

"An San is handling it. Before, it was the other secret guards around me. After he was transferred, it was An San who was handling it."

"I see." She said that the food and grass raised were not enough for the Northwest Army. She only knew that Zhou Ting had other plans, but she didn't expect that the nobles would hand over some benefits to the Northwest Zhou Palace. "Now that you put it this way, I understand. The population of the Northwest Army is growing every year. Although I have a lot of food and grass, it is not enough to feed the Northwest Army. I have observed for a while and found that you have other channels. I think you are under a lot of pressure, so I also tried every means to prepare food and grass!"

Zhou Ting doesn’t tell her everything!
Wronged!

Zhou Ting hugged him and coaxed him, "Good boy, don't be angry. Before we got engaged, I couldn't tell you some things. Even the teacher didn't know about these things. The teacher guessed that I had another source of food and grass, but just like you, he never asked. However, it was wrong of me to hide such an important thing from you. Good Yiyi, can you forgive Chaosheng this time?"

Mingyi still felt aggrieved, all her previous worries were in vain.

She asked why the Northwest Army had never lacked food and supplies.

She refused to give in, and Zhou Ting continued to coax her, "It's my fault. I have wronged my Yi Yi. I promise that I will not hide anything from you in the future. I will tell you everything about my past, okay?"
