Chapter 12 Potential Food Issues
"it's over?"
When Nan Hua was still thinking about whether to intercept Zhou Cang and others so that they would not disturb Mu Yi's enlightenment, the aura on Mu Yi's body stopped changing.
"How can this be?"
Nan Hua's eyes showed incomprehensible astonishment. Mu Yi inherited the dual legacy of Zhang Jiao and his original body. After entering the state of enlightenment, even if he could not immediately achieve the separation of inner energy from the body, he should at least be at the level of inner energy becoming a gang.
But at this moment, Mu Yi's body did not emit any energy fluctuations such as inner energy, spiritual power, or immortal power at all, as if the sudden enlightenment just now was just an illusion on his part.
"It's troublesome!"
Mu Yi opened his eyes, filled with helplessness.
Compared to Nan Hua, he understood what happened to himself.
His talent was deduced by him to take a step forward, but the price was that all his legacy was lost. It can be said that this time, he really had to start from scratch.
And this step forward in his talent is neither big nor small.
Now, he can filter the world through two keywords. Can it be said to be a qualitative leap?
Shaking his head, Mu Yi shook the gap out of his mind. In addition to progress, his talent seemed to have finally completed its cooling and charging. Now he can open a new world at any time as long as he is willing.
The previous world was disconnected after a short period of three days, and then the talent was in a lazy state. Now it has finally returned to normal again.
Mu Yi arched his hands toward the void, worshiping both Zhang Jiao and the original body.
"Little... General!" Zhou Cang and others rushed in and heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Mu Yi was intact.
"No need to be nervous, I'm fine. How are you handling the things I arranged for you to do before?" Mu Yi waved his hand and asked Zhou Cang and others.
"That standing tree of yours... I believe it has worked well. The residents in the city are now willing to do business with us and have normal exchanges!"
Zhou Cang was a little confused, but he still scratched his head and reported the report truthfully.
When Mu Yi and others had just entered the city and started to seal the city, all the people in the city immediately closed their courtyard doors. The timid ones were trembling, and the bold ones could only eavesdrop at the door.
Everyone secretly prayed to God and prayed to Buddha, hoping that the thieves who invaded the city would not be so ferocious that they would kill anyone they saw. Even if they wanted to kill, it would be best to kill others, so that they would not fall on themselves.
Later, Zhou Cang recited a message and the Yellow Turban Army did not use weapons to bring trouble to them along the way, so they were no longer so timid.
Then Mu Yi sent Zhou Cang and others to plant trees in the city. Anyone who could hold the wood to any city gate would be rewarded with money and food.
At first, people didn't believe it, but after Mu Yi stuffed a basket and saw real money and food, people began to give it a try with hesitation.
After all ten pieces of wood were taken away and Zhou Cang fulfilled his promise one by one, Mu Yi and the others established initial credibility in an instant.
Just like when Liu Bang entered the Pass and made a three-chapter agreement with the people in Guanzhong, Mu Yi established his credibility by building a tree and then made a three-chapter agreement with the people in the city.
It was agreed that as long as the people did not take action against the Yellow Turban Army, they would never use weapons against the people.
Then the city will be closed for a period of time. Other than that, everything will be as usual. If you have life problems, you can go to the city gate at any time to see the city gate official appointed by Mu Yi.
After almost seven days in the city, the entire Buqi County has barely returned to its former peace.
"Well, we are not short of money and food at the moment. Now that we have established a preliminary reputation, we will start opening warehouses to release food. Tell them that starting from tomorrow, we will renovate the city and build civil engineering. Tell them that they will be given food as they work, and they will be paid daily. Wages!”
Mu Yi nodded after listening to Zhou Cang's report and directly issued a new order.
At this moment, Qingzhou has not been completely destroyed by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and it is still a major grain-producing state.
Although Buqi County is a small county, it is located in Qingzhou after all, and its food reserves are considered abundant.
Mu Yi had nearly 100,000 dan on hand after confiscating his house and the output of the treasury. One dan of grain was enough for one person to eat for about a month, and 100,000 dan was enough to feed 100,000 people for a month.
There are only about 50,000 people in Buqi County. If you save some money, it will be enough for two months.
"General, I'm afraid the food is not enough!"
Zhou Cang looked troubled. Others didn't know it, but he knew that Pei Yuanshao was sent out by Mu Yi to act as a self-propelled loudspeaker to attract the scattered Yellow Turbans.
Pei Yuanshao, who could fly in the air, could visit the entire Qingzhou within a few days.
It is estimated that there are countless people heading towards Buqi County now. Even if one hundred thousand shi of food is boiled into gruel, it may not be enough for these man-made foods.
They had also wandered in Qingzhou, and they knew very well what kind of atrocities would happen once the Yellow Turbans gathered in Qingzhou found that there was no food here.
People who are hungry and anxious are no different from wild beasts. By then, even with their reputation as great teachers, I am afraid that the people in the city will not be able to escape.
"Don't worry, one month is almost enough. Those who go to Beihai will transport a batch of food back!"
Mu Yi said calmly, and he sent dozens of capable Yellow Turbans to Beihai County with gold and silver from wealthy families to buy food. Although it would not be too much, the food that continued to arrive would make people full of hope. .
"As long as the Zhen family arrives, there will be no problem with food here!"
The transaction with the Zhen family was quite pleasant, and the Zhen family was happy to make another profit from Mu Yi, especially when Mu Yi was willing to buy grain from them at a premium. The Zhen family happily sent people to collect grain in Xuzhou and then planned to Take the sea route and transport it to Buqi County.
But this takes time. After all, the deal with Mu Yi cannot be made public, and they also need to disguise it.
Mu Yi also sighed in his heart. This is the most ideal situation. If there is a problem in any part, then they will need to try their luck in another world.
But every time he thought that there would be people like those fallen Yellow Turbans in the wild, he would have trouble sleeping and eating, so he marched dangerously and stepped on the red line of food to gather men.
And having said that, the news that they had captured the county would not be hidden for long even if the city was closed. It would probably take less than ten days and a half before other counties would notice the problem.
Now is the Hulao Pass period. Although the majesty of the Han Dynasty has begun to decline, it is not completely in chaos yet. Those counties and counties will inevitably send troops to conquer.
If he cannot gather a large number of Yellow Turbans and master enough power, I am afraid that he will have to enter the "Jingguan" in the future and become the merit of someone's promotion.
He had no time to take his time, so he could only step on the tightrope anxiously, running toward an unknown future.
"Here!" Seeing Mu Yi's firm attitude, Zhou Cang didn't say much. They pinned their hopes on Mu Yi, and as long as it was a decision made by Mu Yi, they would implement it.
"Go down and make preparations. Call me the one thousand people you selected before. I will lead them to explore the road!" Mu Yi took a deep breath and began to make preparations.
If Beihai's food or the Zhen family's food could not arrive on time, another world would become the last guarantee, and he would have to explore the way first.
"The road ahead is dangerous, please invite Immortal Master Nanhua to accompany you!"
"Good!" Nan Hua also understood that Mu Yi was about to reveal his nature as a variable to him.
