Chapter 189 Lu Anran’s plan

"Huh~" Su You'er sighed softly. She looked at her eldest son Bian Yuanze, who was directing the loading of the truck, and felt very complicated. She finally found a place deep in the forest, and she thought she could spend her old age in secret.

Now she has to join the world again. The first thing she will face when entering the world is war, which makes her feel really uncomfortable.

Seeing her depressed mood, Bian Chongquan reached out and patted her back to comfort her, without saying much else.

The dwarves don't have many things, the most important thing is food, followed by the raw materials for forging - various minerals.

After the last minerals were loaded into the cart, everyone mounted their mounts, including women and children, most of whom were wearing animal skins and clothes.

In order to be able to hold more things, the clothes are very wide.

The head is also decorated with various feathers, animal skulls and other original decorations.

Children and young people have basically never left the mountains they depend on for survival. Now that they are about to leave, they can't help but feel a little scared.

But more of it is longing. After all, this is a place outside the mountains that I have never been to before, and I have long been curious and longing for it.

They were holding or riding their beloved horses, rushing around the carriage excitedly, shouting "Yo, yo~" in their mouths.

Bian Yuanze looked at the mess in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

Glancing at his stern-faced father, he frowned slightly, wondering what the old man was thinking.

Why does he suddenly want to leave when he is living well here? The outside world is so attractive to him? Hey, you are so old.

He was slandering him like this in his heart, but he didn't dare to refute him at all.

Under the iron fist education of his father since childhood, he has long learned what it means to follow one's heart, especially when his strength is not enough.

"Aze, what do your father think?" A dwarf who was as fat as a ball came over and bumped Bian Yuanze with his shoulder:

"It's so dangerous out there, and people outside are always defrauding us of our fine iron tools at low prices. It's really disgusting."

"I don't know." Bian Yuanze shook his head, and finally sighed slightly: "Probably because this place is isolated from the rest of the world, it is very likely to lead to the annihilation of our clan."

The fat man was stunned for a moment, glanced around at the little beans running around, and finally sighed with a "Huh~".

He lowered his head in frustration: "Although I really don't want to admit it, I have to say that this is indeed an unacceptable fact."

Over the years, fewer and fewer dwarf children have been born, and for some reason, most of them are missing arms and legs and are very deformed.

There were even children who died shortly after birth. They looked distressed, but there was nothing they could do.

As for the mutilated children, they are all being raised now, but everyone is very worried about them. What will happen after their parents die?

"What are those two children thinking about?" Seeing Bian Yuanze and the others from a distance, Su You'er had a strange look on his face.

"Bang..." Bian Chongquan snorted coldly, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them, his eyes shining like lightning on the two small figures not far below.

He spoke in a calm tone, but with indescribable disgust: "What else can I think about, other than what to do in the future. I am not young, but I have quite a lot of strange emotions."

"Pfft~" Su You'er smiled and shook his head. His worry was dissipated a lot, and she rolled her eyes at him: "Look at your disgusted eyes, even Bian Sheng and Bian Ya don't expect you to be like this."

"Hmph, he is going to be the chief in the future, but he behaves like a bitch. Forget it, let's go."

"Hey, Chongquan!" Seeing him turn around and leave, Su You'er shouted, but finally shook her head helplessly.

Glancing at Bian Yuanze who was still talking to the fat man, she raised her lips slightly, then followed Bian Chongquan with her child in her arms.

Wow——

The waves roared, the cool breeze blew in, and the unique scent of the forest filled the world.

The stream washed over the cliff and fell into the huge pool below, rolling away with white waves.

Lu Anran stood on the bridge. She closed her eyes and felt the coldness of the water mist. She held a delicate dagger in her hands behind her back and played with it. Amidst the roar of the waterfall, her thoughts drifted away.

It has been almost a year since I came here. From being an exiled sinner to now being the lord of a city, my improvement has been huge.

However, in the context of Licheng's rapid development, it was due to its unstable foundation, lack of talents, lagging development of agriculture, rapid economic improvement, rapid increase in the number of people, and the number of troops.

Among them, the lack of talents, the lag in agriculture and the number of troops have become the three major obstacles hindering the development of the entire city. The first task now is to solve these three problems.

The military issue is a top priority. If the number of soldiers is small, and a piece of fat as big as Licheng is targeted by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, it is extremely difficult to increase the number of troops. People who come to Licheng are basically disaster victims, and their sense of belonging to Licheng is not as high as that of the original residents.

Secondly, there are not enough people.

Nowadays, Daxia draws one out of ten people for military service, that is, one out of ten people is drawn once a year. This is a very terrible draw, not to mention that human growth is slow.

Lu Anran planned to draw one in every twenty years, once every five years, to minimize the loss of young adults, but... where to draw?

The area of ​​​​Licheng can accommodate three million people. The maximum number of young adults can only be calculated as one million, and the maximum number of people drawn out of twenty is about 50,000.

There is barely any resistance to governance, but the key is...

Her current army is less than 3,000 men!

Even if the dwarves are coming soon, it’s not enough!

Lu Anran frowned, raised his eyes, and turned his gaze to the forest to the east, where countless barbarians lived!

"If we can win it..." She whispered, and then looked to the south in the direction of Jinmen Pass, her eyes gradually becoming darker.

"Zhizhizhi~"

Suddenly, a monkey's cry came, attracting her attention.

Looking away from the sound, he saw Wukong standing on the spiritual crystal tree, stretching out his paws to pick this and that, his eyes were a little anxious, as if he wanted to.

"Wukong."

"Squeak~" Hearing Lu Anran's voice, he turned his head and saw a blue object flying towards his face.

It was overjoyed and quickly reached out to pick it up. Only to hear a muffled sound, it caught the object firmly. When it opened its paws, it saw a beautiful crystal lying quietly in its paws. .

Wukong's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Lu Anran happily.

Lu Anran nodded slightly, "You should guard this spiritual crystal tree well, and I will enlighten you in the future."
