Ancient paintings connect the present, I hoard goods to support the villain Wang

With the addition of Huang Yi's troops, the number of Xiao's army instantly increased to 300,000.

Most of the people in Huang Yi's hands are descendants of poor people in the Dayong Dynasty. These people are more or less related to the soldiers in the Xiao family army, or they are old acquaintances, fellow villagers, etc.

Now, these brothers who had known each other for a long time could finally be in the same military camp and pledge allegiance to the same king.

Xiao Jingyan's team is even more powerful this time.

About a week later, the subordinates Xiao Jingyan sent to the capital to return General Huang Yi's head also returned.

Although the young emperor and the people in the court were dissatisfied with what Xiao Jingyan and his men had done, they really couldn't do anything to them for the time being.

After all, the current situation is that the whole country is short of food, and the young emperor and Prime Minister Pei themselves have not had a decent meal for several days.

Now they have no time to think about anything else.

"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."

Prime Minister Pei walked up to the little emperor and advised him.

The emperor had been spoiled since childhood and could not get used to the coarse rice and whole grains of today. He had not had a proper meal for several days. The eunuchs who served him had no choice but to ask Prime Minister Pei for help.

Pei Xiang had no other choice. He was not used to the food these inferior people ate. But if he didn't eat something, he would not have the energy to do anything else, let alone the ability to deal with that hateful Xiao Jingyan!

"Your Majesty, please eat a little. I specially asked the imperial kitchen to make some soy bean cakes today."

"It's delicate and soft in the mouth. I'm sure Your Majesty will like it."

As he said this, he brought over the plate of soybean cake for the emperor to taste.

The cakes in the palace used to be all kinds of strange things. The emperor used things like mung bean cakes to reward palace maids and eunuchs, and never ate them himself.

But now, this kind of thing has become a good thing.

What's more, what Pei Xiang was holding in his hand was not the mung bean cake that was supposed to cool him down in the summer heat, but some soybean cakes that were made in the style of mung bean cakes!

"I can't eat it."

"Lord Pei, I want to eat roast chicken, roast suckling pig, and roast goose. I haven't tasted meat for almost three days."

The little emperor said sadly that he had lost two or three times as much weight as he had lost from hunger since the famine.

"Your Majesty, I haven't eaten meat for several days."

"This morning at court, I heard that several ministers from the six ministries have run out of even lard!"

Now, the whole country is suffering from famine. No matter what they eat, it is already very good that they can fill their stomachs.

Many people in the society had to exchange their own children for food, and there were starving people everywhere.

"Is there no place in my vast Yong Dynasty where there is food?"

The little emperor asked a soul-searching question.

Pei Xiang didn't say anything for a long time.

There really is a place with food.

Xiao Jingyan’s Lingyao City!

"Lingyao City!"

Soon, the little emperor figured it out himself.

"People say Xiao Jingyan has divine help. During the New Year, he teamed up with the former Crown Prince Wanyan Longmu to unify the entire northern border."

"I speculate that the food he has must be as abundant as mountains and seas."

"It would be great if we could capture Lingyao City and get the food from him."

Having said this, the little emperor clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with ferocity, as if he wanted to skin Xiao Jingyan alive.

"But the 80,000 imperial guards that General Huang brought with him have now all been taken under Xiao Jingyan's command. I'm afraid that even if we mobilize the entire country, we won't be able to touch him at all!"

Pei Xiang stood by and reminded worriedly.

"Since we can't take action, why don't we sue for peace?"

"Doesn't Xiao Jingyan want my throne? What if I give it to him? My life is more important than the throne. As long as I live, I'm not afraid of running out of firewood. If I starve to death, then Dayong will be leaderless!"

The little emperor's idea is really novel. To him, no one else can suffer, but he himself cannot suffer!

"Seek peace?"

When Prime Minister Pei heard what the little emperor meant, his eyes flashed.

He has thought of a better new way. Instead of asking for peace, he would pretend to ask for peace to get close to Xiao Jingyan, and then assassinate him and completely control Lingyao City and the Xiao family army!

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will do as you say. I will send someone to Lingyao City to seek peace with Xiao Jingyan."

Prime Minister Pei bowed and went down to prepare.

Thinking that all the food and supplies in Lingyao City will belong to them in the future, Pei Xiang worked very hard.

*

At this time, Lingyao City.

The seeds that Xiao Jingyan had people plant before also soon had a good harvest.

Green vegetables such as coriander, leek, bok choy, garland chrysanthemum, spinach, etc. have a growth cycle of about one month.

With these vegetables, Shi Xi no longer needs to send them vegetables.

Now the mining of coal and oil mines is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Every household can now afford to burn coal and no longer have to worry about the cold.

Not much coal is needed now in spring and summer, but Xiao Jingyan did not stop the coal mining work. He had to save more coal for use in winter.

Secondly, there is oil. The cars that Shi Xi gave to Xiao Jingyan and others are now supplied with oil by themselves.

Many wealthy merchants and gentry also wanted to own things like farm vehicles, so they brought most of their treasures and asked Xiao Jingyan to ask the fairy to help them buy them.

Shi Xi also bought a batch of agricultural tricycles, a total of more than 30 vehicles, and asked Xiao Jingyan to mark the price and sell them to the people in the city.

The city wall that Xiao Jingyan wanted to build before was almost completed. It was a long and winding wall, like a little dragon.

With the unification of the northern border, Wanyan Longmu no longer needed to build a city wall outside Guazhou City. He lent all the captured prisoners to Xiao Jingyan and asked them to help build the city wall of Lingyao City.

In addition, electricity was also available in a small area of ​​Lingyao City.

Now, Xiao Jingyan no longer needs to hand over his mobile phone and tablet to Shi Xi every day for her to help charge them.

After only one winter, Lingyao City, which was once suffering from hunger and cold, has become full of vitality and has become a very modern city, constantly progressing towards modern society.

In addition, Xiao Jingyan also used his own money to build several schools in the city.

He knew that in Shixi's school, regardless of gender, rich or poor, everyone attended the same school.

He felt that the people of Dayong could not accept all that at once, so he built more schools to separate boys and girls, rich and poor students.

With batches coming and construction being done bit by bit, he believed that Lingyao City and even the surrounding cities could be built into the same appearance as the cities on Shixi's side.

In addition, they also found Mr. Wu and opened department stores around Lingyao City and in the northern border to sell some rare items brought by Shi Xi.

For example, snacks, stationery, toys, cosmetics, and even fire extinguishers.

Many things they could use were sold in the department store. As long as they paid, all the people could use these things.

Mr. Wu is not only the boss, but also the biggest consumer of this department store.

Now his house is full of things from modern society, from food and clothing to food, clothing, housing and transportation, all of which are standard.

I ride an electric scooter every day, wear a down jacket, eat instant noodles, keep accounts with a carbon pen and a diary, and do calculations with a calculator.

How unhappy!

He felt that the things in the fairy world were really convenient and easy to use!
