At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 378 The Autumn Harvest Has Arrived
three days later.

Jingzhao County lost eight cities.

The territory south of Chang'an has shrunk by half!
Only then did Li Jiancheng realize that Li Xiaogong was not just talking.

He must use the quickest strategy.

But now he only has [-] troops...

In the face of the enemy's 15 troops, he was powerless and could not beat the opponent at all.

But he urged Li Xiaogong to send troops many times, but Li Xiaogong always used the excuse of guarding the north.

Unwilling to evacuate Linqi City.

Actually.

Li Xiaogong is also under a lot of pressure now, Zhang Xutuo is staring at Linqi City every once in a while.

If he is not careful, it is very likely that the city will be destroyed.

So he didn't dare to divide his troops like Li Jiancheng did.

At this time, dividing troops is completely an act of death.

The country is broken and the turmoil is becoming more and more frequent.

Li Jiancheng and Li Xiaogong felt more and more hopeless about their future.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go to the imperial conquest?"

His confidant Wang Gui made a suggestion.

Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth.

Look at the report before the case.

fell into contemplation.

With all the ruins, [-] troops...

Can you beat the opponent?

Especially that Su Dingfang, who put a lot of pressure on him.

He still has this self-knowledge.

He can bully soft persimmons.

But this tough bone...

It should be Lee Hyo-gong.

He can't beat it at all.

But Li Xiaogong is facing a very bad situation now, he is facing Zhang Xutuo's [-] army, if the north loses again...

Jingzhao County will be destroyed in an instant!

……

Henan.

Luoyang City.

Xu Mu is leisurely basking in the sun.

Listening to Wang Zhao's report on the front line, I felt relieved for a while.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to his expectations.

If the battle in Jingzhao County continues, it will end in about two months.

It has been more than a month now.

Beside him, apart from Wang Zhao, there was also Yu Chigong.

After surrendering to him, Yu Chigong, a very good close bodyguard, was favored by Xu Mu and accepted as a close bodyguard.

Yuchi Jingde is also very reliable, these days he has been guarding his safety with due diligence.

That's right.

During this time, he suffered seven assassinations.

Most likely it was sent by Li Jiancheng.

He wanted to stage the story of Jing Ke assassinating Qin Qin.

however……

He had been prepared for a long time, and the poor acting skills of these assassins could not be hidden from him at all.

All were dealt with by Wang Zhao and Yuchi Jingde.

"Calculating the time, it should be the harvest time in Henan and Jingzhao County, right?"

Xu Mu looked at the sky.

It's almost time for the autumn harvest.

At this time the weather is still extremely hot.

Wang Zhao nodded and said: "It should be. A few days ago, I heard from Director Fang that he was going to guide the people to harvest. The expected harvest this time is [-] million shi!"

This is the second year that the planting policy has been implemented outside.

With the continuous improvement of various measures, the output has been greatly improved this time.

Last year was 8000 million stone.

But this time it directly doubled and more.

If the harvest is good, it may even be more than that.

Yuchi Jingde at the side heard it...

There was also a slight look of surprise.

He just joined Wanmin City not long ago.

During this period of time, I have seen and heard the magic of Wanmin City.

For the entire Henan and Taiyuan counties, the grain output in just one season can reach [-] million shi?
This is already comparable to the output of Jingzhao County for more than ten years.

Not only can it support the population of two counties, but it will not be a problem at all to support two more large counties.

however……

But he saw the lord frowned and said: "It's still a little less, you tell Lao Fang to hurry up, don't relax, try to promote the joint production contract, and double the production again!"

Yuchi Jingde no longer knew what to say.

Twenty million shi, if you pay taxes, can you get [-] million shi of grain?

Oh, by the way, Henan County and Jingzhao County do not pay taxes.

His mind hadn't turned around yet.

The current Henan County and Taiyuan County implement the two-tax law.

It can be said that these two tens of millions of grains...

All belong to the common people.

of course.

Because of the guard system, it doesn't take much food to raise soldiers.

These people will prepare themselves.

In the past...

It is of course unrealistic for the people to prepare their own food.

But now under the guidance of the Lord's Mansion in Wanmin City, the people of the two counties all recognize the Lord's Mansion very much.

Very supportive of all the decisions of the Lord's Mansion.

Don't you just bring some food?

The grain they grow in one season is enough to feed their whole family for ten years.

There is no need to be reluctant.

and……

In order to ensure the timely supply of food and salaries, the Lord's Mansion will also buy food from them.

Fill it into Hanjiacang, which is the treasury.

Every time of war, the food from Han Jiacang will be mobilized and used as military pay.

For example, this time, all the military pay is last year's food.

Gradually, the people in Henan County are getting richer.

Starting to have spiritual enjoyment, most of them will go to places such as Manmin Square for consumption.

And the farmland officially controlled by the Lord's Mansion...

There will be a large amount of food every season, which is more than enough to feed hundreds of thousands of troops.

Yuchi Jingde was from Henan County before.

But in just two years, he found that he no longer knew Henan County.

Concrete paved roads are very common in Hanam County today.

There is also Wanmin Square, which is even more prosperous.

Items from all major states and counties all over the world can be purchased here.

Various kinds of enjoyment are possible.

You can shop, eat, play, drink tea and so on.

Now it's kind of overwhelming.

He has been there several times.

I just feel that the money bag is a bit unbearable.

Everything else is fine.

While his thoughts were fluttering, Xu Mu stood up from the recliner and asked, "Is there any movement at Dou Jiande's side?"

In order to target Jingzhao County this time, he made sufficient preparations.

Let Dou Jiande and Li Jing fight to the death.

Wang Fubao...

Now he has been confronting Li Jing.

He estimated that Dou Jiande should not have time to harass Henan County.

as predicted.

Wang Zhao replied: "A report came from the border yesterday, saying that Dou Jiande had no intention of attacking us at all..."

Now Dou Jiande has no generals who can fight.

In particular, Wang Fubao took his army to the north and was fighting fiercely with Li Jing.

If he really wants to invade Henan, he has no soldiers and no generals.

Especially when he was intimidated by Pei Xingyan before.

Xu Mu nodded, and asked someone to move a sand table into the yard.

He began to stare at the situation in Jingzhao County.

Now Wanmin City has taken a big step forward.

Taiyuan, Henan has already been occupied. If Jingzhao and Bashu are completely taken down...

The rest are places like Jianghuai, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangnan, and Jiangxi.

The three-year period he planned to rule the world is not far away.
