Chapter 507: Enmity
"Brother, this kid is so arrogant, so he retreats. How can he swallow this?" Ao Zhi was very angry.
Ao Zhu did not take it and left a sentence of "retreating tide" and took the lead in lifting off the ground.
The aquatic generals behind Ao Zhu and the other two also took off. One of the big-mouthed water monsters pulled the conch off his waist and blew it. As the conch was buzzing, the sea water several feet above the ground began to fall back quickly, and the fish, lobsters and crabs in the water also receded with the tide.
Seeing that Ao Zhu had decided to leave, Ao Zhi was angry and angry and glared at Wu Zhongyuan. He was not angry and was eager to try.
"Second brother, go quickly, the eldest brother is gone." The third princess reached out to pull it.
"It's all your fault," Ao Zhi angrily said to the third princess, "You just talk too much, and you will never bring you out again in the future."
Everyone was in front of him, and the third princess couldn't bear to worry about her face. She stomped her feet, "Hmph, don't you bring me, my brother bring me."
After the third princess finished speaking, she bent her knees and raised them to meet Ao Zhu in the air.
"You wait for me, it's no trouble to find you." Ao Zhi pointed at Wu Zhongyuan.
"I don't want to cause disaster for the human race, so you'd better not cause trouble for the dragon race." Wu Zhongyuan was soft and hard.
"You..." Ao Zhi was furious and speechless.
"Ao Zhi, leave." Ao Zhu summoned from the air.
The level of the Dragon Clan is also very strict. Although the two are brothers, Ao Zhi is a prince and Ao Zhu is a prince. Ao Zhi must obey his elder brother. Even if he has ten thousand unwilling in his heart, he can only force himself to hold it up, raise his anger and meet with his brother and sister.
Ao Zhu was in a high altitude, looking down from a high place. He looked at Wu Zhongyuan coldly and then shook his body and showed his true appearance of the red dragon, winding his claws, and headed for Yunnan.
Ao Zhi and the third princess also showed their true colors, one left and one right, and followed Ao Zhu.
This is the first time Wu Zhongyuan has seen a red dragon. Each of these three red dragons is seven or eight feet long and has four claws under his belly. His body shape and appearance are very similar to that of the Azure Dragon, but the color of the scales is different. Compared with the Azure Dragon, the Red Dragon looks more ferocious. It seems that it is not very accurate to describe it as ferocious. To be precise, it should be more frightening.
After a moment, the three red dragons disappeared at the intersection of the southern sea and sky, and the sea water all over the sky had retreated into the sea. The entire outer area of Weicheng was muddy, and the air was filled with a strong smell of sea water.
It was not until this time that everyone came to their senses. Li Wanzi led his warriors to greet Wu Zhongyuan, while Jean-chi led everyone in Weicheng to thank him.
Since Jetz chose to believe him between him and the Dragon Clan, Wu Zhongyuan's attitude towards Jetz was more kind and humble, and then he went straight to the topic. "I heard Zhu Qianwei talk about the second elder. The second elder is respected and loyal and righteous. Since the second elder has returned, before the young master becomes an adult, the matter of Weicheng will be managed by the second elder. Do you have any objections to this?"
Before this, Yuz didn't know Wu Zhongyuan. In fact, he didn't know much until this moment, but one thing he already knew was that Wu Zhongyuan was a standard hawkish figure. He was brave and fearless when facing strong people, and had the spirit of a king.
Wu Zhongyuan was the king, and his words were imperial edicts. Naturally no one opposed his proposal. The most important thing was that even if he did not propose, Yanci should be the head of Weicheng.
After the humbleness of the monk, Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Li Wanzi, "Have you told them what we made for Weicheng before?"
"I haven't had time to explain in detail yet." Li Wanzi said.
Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand.
Li Wanzi understood and briefly explained the previous arrangements between the two and the people of Weicheng, including the resettlement location after Weicheng moved north, as well as the arrangements for their future livelihoods.
After hearing Li Wanzi's story, the people in Weicheng were very moved. They did not expect that Wu Zhongyuan even considered how they would make a living in the future. Not only did they prepare for the city, but they also arranged them to a safe place not far from the East China Sea.
Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and interrupted everyone's gratitude, "I told Zhu Qianwei before that although Weicheng moved north to Central China, you will still be the one who decides government affairs and people's livelihood. I and the Lord of Yuancheng will not interfere in all the things in Weicheng, nor will I transfer the tuition to recruit taxes."
After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, everyone in Weicheng could not help but thank him again.
Wu Zhongyuan said seriously, "I must be clear about the current situation. There are many tribes who want to move to Zhongdi to avoid disasters and disasters. I am not willing to refuse anyone. The reason why I accept you is not because I value the 30,000 kilograms of salt. We have formed an alliance with the Yi people of the East China Sea. The salt can be obtained from the East China Sea. The reason why I do not hesitate to make enemies with the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea and protect you is because I value Zhu Qianwei very much. From now on, Zhu Qianwei will leave Weicheng and be loyal to me. Do you have any objections?"
Of course, everyone would not have any objections to Wu Zhongyuan's words. His request was not sudden. His gift of the dragon halberd to Zhu Qianwei already showed that he wanted Zhu Qianwei, and everyone understood the principle that one servant did not serve the two masters. In addition, Wu Zhongyuan's request also indirectly showed that he was not just a statement about Weicheng Autonomy. He would really fulfill his promise. Otherwise, he would have no need to leave Zhu Qianwei.
Yours is yours, mine is mine, each has its own belongs and is clearly distinguished, which is also a good thing for Weicheng.
Everyone had no objection, and Wu Zhongyuan looked at Zhu Qianwei again.
Before Wu Zhongyuan could speak, Zhu Qianwei stepped forward, flirted with his clothes, and knelt on one knee, "Thank you for the wrong love of Lord Huangdi, Zhu Qianwei swears to be loyal to death."
"Very good," Wu Zhongyuan stepped forward and helped Zhu Qianwei up. "Before I did not call the order, you would still be a guest in Weicheng and live with your old friends."
"Yes." Zhu Qianwei said loudly.
Li Wanzi led his warriors and Zhu Qianwei to greet each other, while Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to ask Yanci how Wei Cheng was preparing.
In fact, Weicheng was not fully prepared, but now they have offended the South China Sea Dragon Clan, so they dared not delay and delay. They only said that they had already cleaned up and could go on the road at any time.
Since it was late at night, even if you had to leave, you had to wait until dawn. Jeans arranged Wu Zhongyuan and others to rest in the palace, and then led the warriors in the city to organize people to mount horses and load them with soft and soft houses.
There were more than ten warriors sent by Li Wanzi before, and these people had to go north with Wei Cheng. Wu Zhongyuan had discussed this matter with Li Wanzi before. Even if the journey was safe, it would take more than three months for Wei Cheng to move to Middle-earth. In these three months, this team of warriors would have to sleep with everyone in Wei Cheng and have no time to meditate and practice Qi.
Wu Zhongyuan also made arrangements for this. When everyone in Weicheng went to the ground and placed it properly, all the Jiumu warriors who were escorting each received a qi-replenishing pill. They vary from person to person and are all promoted to the first level, which is both a compensation and a commendation.
The warrior thanked him for retreating, and only Wu Zhongyuan and Li Wanzi were left in the room. Wu Zhongyuan did not mention the assassination of Bai Qianshou with Li Wanzi. Li Wanzi was one of the few people who cared about him the most. If he knew that he was taking risks and doing things that were not proportional to the risks and returns, he would inevitably complain again.
Li Wanzi didn't think there was anything wrong with his tough attitude towards the South China Sea Dragon Clan just now, because she was also a hawk. To put it bluntly, the hawks were the war-oriented faction, while the doves were the peace-oriented faction. The biggest difference between these two factions is that the former was whether they could fight or not, while the latter was that they could talk or not fight. It did not mean that the hawks only knew how to fight, while the doves only knew how to surrender. These two were just two different tendencies.
However, Li Wanzi was still very surprised that this matter was good. The surprise was not that he forced the South China Sea Dragon Clan to retreat, but that he shouldn't have come so quickly. Zhu Qianwei knew that the wooden slips of spiritual energy had been burned before she could do it. She didn't expect Wu Zhongyuan to come over before the other party took action.
If you think about it carefully, you have to thank Jiang Zheng for coming to this matter. If Jiang Zheng hadn't forced the marriage to scare him away, Zhu Qianwei would have been in the cow clan when he burned the wooden slips. Even if he rushed over as fast as possible, it would have been too late.
Speaking of this, Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to ask Li Wanzi how to deal with the relationship with Niu Clan and Jiang Nan. It was only after Li Wanzi delivered him a meal on the last time, he really treated Li Wanzi as his aunt.
But he humbly asked for advice and asked Li Wanzi, "What do I do? I will deal with the trouble I caused myself."
After being criticized, Wu Zhongyuan stopped asking. Li Wanzi was quite repulsive of foreign marriages. This was the main reason why she was unwilling to talk about this. In addition, there may be another reason, that is, Li Wanzi is not good at dealing with relationships between men and women, otherwise she would not be still in the boudoir until now. She is a thirty-five or six-year-old girl.
The next two people talked about mainly about how to resettle Weicheng. After Li Wanzi arrived, she had a rough understanding of the population of Weicheng, which was different from what he said before. What he said before was that Weicheng should have 30,000 to 40,000 people, but in fact only more than 10,000 were registered.
Wu Zhongyuan's estimate of the population of Weicheng was based on the inference of the number of houses in the city. Although it was not very accurate, it was impossible to have such a big gap with the real number. After debating with Li Wanzi, he found that there was a conceptual deviation in the statistics of the number of people. At this time, the statistics of the number of people did not count children and the elderly. Boys under the age of fourteen, girls under the age of twelve, men over the age of sixty, and women over the age of fifty were not counted within the total population.
Not only Weicheng, but also the same is true for the three ethnic groups in the Middle Tu. At this time, it is not like in modern times. Children have household registration as soon as they are born. The medical conditions are very poor at this time, the mortality rate of infants is very high, and the mortality rate of the elderly is also very high. Those who have ascended the throne are young and middle-aged people with combat effectiveness or productivity.
After correcting the deviation in understanding, Wu Zhongyuan was stunned. He was stunned. It was not because he didn't know how many tribesmen he had, but when Wu Di and him estimated the shortage of rice and grain, it was based on only counting young and middle-aged people, and neither the elderly nor the children included.
The previous estimate with Wu Di was that after receiving 50,000 kilograms of fish, meat, rice and grain from the barbarians, the rice and grain gap of the bear clan was still about 200,000. Wu Qin and Jiang Dahua and Li Wanzi each paid 10,000. Minshan beasts can get 30,000 kilograms of meat. If the fox clan supports another 50,000, the gap will still be 90,000.
Ninety thousand is enough for him to worry about. If the elderly and children are included, the gap will be even bigger, so big that he can’t raise enough even if he runs off his legs. No matter how hard he works, the bear clan will eventually starve to death.
how so?
No matter how sad or upset you are, no matter how upset you are, you think about it carefully, this is in line with the current situation at this time. You must know that it is common for people to starve to death in feudal dynasties. Our country was not completely solved in the late 1980s.
How to fill such a big gap?
However, there was no time for him to be frustrated and worried. Not long after, Jetz sent someone to report that the city had been flooded by sea before, and the roads left the city were muddy and were deeply trapped, so they could not carry heavy chariots and horses at all.
Hearing the report from the visitor, Wu Zhongyuan and Li Wanzi left the palace and left the city to observe.
