In the Heavens

In order to strengthen the strength and avenge the undefeated East, Ren Wo Bank opened the second entrepreneurial road.

While the major forces were attracted by the martial arts conference, Ren Woxing continued to regain the three religions and nine liu in the rivers and lakes, and even many major vassal forces were forcibly drawn to their subordinates.

With the power of the "Three Corpse Brain God Pill", it is no disadvantage. Successive successes made Ren Woxing, who was unwilling to be lonely, set his sights on the decent.

The intention is to secretly control the disciples of various factions through the "Three Corpse Brain God Pill", in order to provoke the dispute between righteous and evil and prepare for regaining the foundation.

"Master, the Five Mountains Sword Sect is not easy to mess with right now. Or we will head north first and wait for the turf of the Northern Alliance to be eaten away before trying to figure out a way to deal with the undefeated East!"

Seeing the ambitious and letting go, Xiang Wentian only felt like crying without tears. The recent days have gone well, because they are currently only in the south of the Yangtze River where there is no remaining martial arts.

Since the collapse of the Southern Alliance, Jiangnan has no local power. Although Shaolin, Wudang, and Huashan extended their power, they only collected protection fees.

The annexation of Ren Woxing was carried out in secret. Even if the martial arts forces in the south of the Yangtze River were incorporated, the protection fee on the surface was not less than that.

Barely can be regarded as a major local power, only the Buddhist sect with power all over the world. It's just that compared to the martial arts forces, Buddhism is obviously more like a religious organization, and all of its subordinates are temples.

I am still a little jealous of Buddhism, but I control some monks who are often active in the rivers and lakes. To those guys who stay in the temple every day to recite the scriptures, I dare not act rashly.

After all, the Three Corpse Brain Pill is not a **** either. If you encounter someone who is not afraid of death and exposes the inside story, he will become a public enemy of martial arts.

Looking at the nervous little brother, let me do it with a smile and said, "Don't worry, brother Xiang! Now that the Wuyue Sword Sect is strong, the master is not stupid, so he won't face them head-on.

However, although the strength of the Five Mountains Sword Sect had grown, the people in charge were still the same guys from more than a decade ago. As far as this master knows, there are quite a few cartilaginous heads in it.

Grabbing a few cartilage heads, forcing them to take the Three Corpse Brain Pills, and controlling them secretly, they won't be discovered at all. "

When I spoke, my brows wrinkled visibly, as if I had recalled something terrible.

Even after more than 4,000 days and nights, I still can't forget the shame of Hengshan in the past. If it were not for the lack of strength, he would have killed Huashan for revenge.

"Master, this matter..."

Without waiting for Xiang Wentian to finish speaking, let me go and interrupted: "Okay, brother Xiang. This is the end of the matter, let's proceed with the plan of the master!

At the moment, the Huashan faction is busy holding a martial arts convention. It seems that the hypocrites are now preparing to cooperate with the imperial court to get a share of the pie outside the territory.

There should be no time to deal with disputes in a short period of time. This is the best opportunity. As long as our noise is not too loud, it won't attract their attention.

This step is destined to take a step forward, and the only one from the Huashan faction who can kill the Invincible in the entire world. "

The hazy Linghu Chong was completely immersed in the tender country, completely unaware of what was happening around him.

Following Ren Woxing, "visiting" fellow martial arts fellows, it was a good time to have a small life, without knowing that I had stepped into the vortex of the storm.

From time to time, he also acts as a thug, and plays the role of a "peacemaker", with the nickname: to help resolve the grievances of the rivers and lakes.

Anyway, as long as a pill of Three Corpse Brain God Pills, you can understand any grievances. If you touch a hard bone, it will naturally kill you.

Fortunately, Ren Wohang is now entering the village in a low-key manner, and there is no major disturbance. Otherwise, the news that the Emei Sect's major disciple will join the demon sect will immediately cause a sensation in the arena.

...

In the farming era, every major natural disaster erupts, it will trigger a wave of bankruptcy of farmers, and this time is no exception.

The winter is not over yet, and many northern families are on the verge of collapse. The losses caused by the earthquake are not so easy to smooth out.

Although the cost of building a house these years is low, not every family has the capital to build a house at any time. The winter in the north is extraordinarily cold.

For many northern families who have lost their houses, this earthquake is a catastrophe. Even if I was lucky enough to keep the house, but some pots and pans were damaged, that would be a big expense.

Especially for families of miners, countless mines and tunnels collapsed. Not only did they lose their livelihoods, but many families lost their pillars.

If you have a little family, you can still support it. A poor and white family can only sell their sons and daughters to survive the disaster year.

Especially in the northwestern region, which was already suffering from drought, now there is another wave, and countless civilians can no longer live their lives.

The government's relief was only a drop in the bucket. Even the powerful Emperor Shenwu could not change the bad habits of the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

What's more, the earthquake affected ten provinces, and all regions suffered different losses, with as many as tens of millions of people affected. The millions of money allocated by the court for disaster relief are far from enough to meet the demand.

Looking at the approaching New Year, Guanzhong couldn't find a trace of New Year's joy. Various urgent documents were piled up with Li Mu's desk.

The influx of refugees from the northwest region floods the entire Guanzhong land. Like a child waiting to be fed, waiting for relief.

In fact, this is the result of the Huashan disciples' lack of experience in disaster relief and blindly rescued them.

According to the normal rhythm, these people just borrowed the way from Guanzhong, and then diverted in Tongguan, going south to the south, and north to the north.

In the end, 90% of people will fall on the way, and less than 10% of people will be able to find a livelihood outside.

As for staying in Guanzhong Earth, it is no longer under everyone's consideration. Because in the past, the people in Guanzhong ran away with them.

Now the situation has changed. Thanks to Li Mu's strong request, all state government offices in Guanzhong are actively carrying out disaster relief.

Because of the lack of relevant experience, the Huashan disciples who participated in the event relented and provided relief to the victims of the disaster, and then these people stayed.

Seeing the influx but not leaving, watching the victims gather more and more, the disciples who presided over the disaster relief realized that the matter had happened and hurriedly reported to the mountain.

"Half million victims", this is undoubtedly a shocking number. Even if he is used to seeing strong winds and waves, the sword energy is still dignified in the hall at this moment.

Regardless of dealing with the disciples who caused trouble, Li Mu's mind is full of "money and food." This is not his business, it is because his wealth is not rich enough.

Apply a set of popular formulas: "natural disasters + requisition orders = rising food prices".

Even in Huguang, the land of fish and rice, and Bashu, the land of abundance, food prices have risen by two or three tiers, and food prices in Guanzhong have doubled.

As the largest grain wholesaler in the Northwest, Li Mu can say responsibly that the sharp rise in grain prices has nothing to do with hoarding, it is purely because of the misalignment of supply and demand.

The influx of a large number of disaster victims broke the balance of food supply in Guanzhong and caused a shortage of food supply in a short period of time.

The sorghum rice that used to be three dollars and one stone can now be sold for one or two and one stone, and it can only be supplied in limited quantities.

The Huashan faction increased its purchases of food from outsourced food as early as when the earthquake occurred, but with the traffic conditions these years, the transportation speed could not be raised at all.

"The situation in Guanzhong is getting worse and worse. According to the intelligence gathered from various places, the number of victims is still rising.

The grain in our hands will last until the end of the month at most. This is still calculated. Three batches of grain will be able to reach Guanzhong within a month.

The situation of other grain merchants in Guanzhong is not much better. No one knows that there will be a major earthquake, and it is impossible to predict that so many victims will gather in Guanzhong.

There are only two paths before us, either to send the victims away, or to find a way to get enough food.

In recent years, we have been doing well in Yizhou, but we have stockpiled 200,000 shi of grain, but because of the distance, we can't get it. "

Zhang Bufan said with a haggard face.

It can be seen that the recent problems with the victims of the disaster caused the Huashan faction's logistics steward to be about to have a nervous breakdown.

Hoarding food requires cost, and as the storage time increases, the food will gradually depreciate.

Unless it can be determined in advance that there is a big market, no one will hoard a lot for no reason. After all, bulk commodities like grain usually make money by trading volume, and there is no huge profit at all.

After listening to Zhang Bufan's words, the atmosphere in the room became more tense. When it comes to the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of victims, no one dares to make decisions without authorization.

Especially those who have personally gone down the mountain to participate in the disaster relief, and now they are all downcast, as if they are annoyed that they have messed up the sect mission, and as if they are worried about the livelihood of the victims.

"Oh!"

After sighing, Zhou Qingyun slowly said: "As much as you can save, let's count! The world is coming, and it is impossible for an undead person. The difference lies in who is the person who died.

It was their good fortune to be able to survive this catastrophe, and it was also destined to be unable to survive. More people will die next, so don’t put too much pressure on you! "

After more than 20 years of cultivating the Tao, Zhou Qingyun is no longer what it used to be. With the continuous improvement of Taoism, the perspective on the problem has also changed.

Although Taoism pays attention to relieving the common people and accumulating merits by joining the world in troubled times, they also agree with Taoism and nature.

In the case of limited ability, if you really imagine that everyone can be saved, then the end result is often that no one can save.

Looking at the sky, Li Mu slowly said: "Let's go in three steps! Junior Brother Yue, take someone to visit merchants, big clans, and temples in Guanzhong, and ask them to put out a sum of money and food for emergency.

Brother Wang, you are responsible for coordinating with Shaanxi Bingbei Road. First recruit young people from the disaster victims and incorporate them into the army of the Western Expedition, so as to save them from staying in the civilian population to cause chaos.

Brother Yao, you are responsible for organizing immigration work. From now on, the previous relief for all employees will be stopped. If you want to get relief, you must immigrate overseas.

If there is not enough food in Guanzhong, then we will guide the victims all the way to the south. The more we go south, the more difficult it will be to raise food. This is their only way to survive.

Brother Cai is responsible for communicating with the government, martial arts factions, and gentry along the way, so that they can cooperate with the immigration work. "

In the cold winter, people drag their families and move for thousands of miles, even the Spring Festival, which is indeed very unsatisfactory.

Even Li Mu could have imagined that countless victims would fall directly on the emigration road because of their physical weakness and unacceptable water and soil.

Only in the face of a steady stream of victims, Li Mu couldn't think of a better way. Let the victims go overseas to seek livelihood, this is the only way he can think of.

Perhaps it is not obvious to everyone. If the disaster continues, the entire Ming will be short of food, and that will be the real disaster.

Compared with the imminent food shortage, the financial crisis caused by the disaster relief is nothing.

In a sense, this door-in-door meeting is also to inform everyone~www.wuxiahere.com~ that the Huashan faction will tighten their belts to live.

For the time being, I don’t have to count on the salary, so I can get it again when the financial situation improves!

Anyway, this is not the first time. All elders who are getting older have experienced the days of not paying their salaries.

Really comfortable days, in fact, have only been in the past ten years. In the hundreds of years before that, the Huashan faction owed middle and high-level salaries every other time.

At the poorest moment, the sect's finances went bankrupt, and even the salary of ordinary disciples could not be paid for a while, and it was very embarrassing.

The current situation is far from worsening to that point, although the pocket is cleaner than the face, at least the Huashan school has become the largest school in the world.

As long as the sword in your hand is sharp enough, you don't have to worry about not being able to borrow money. The strong don't need to go bankrupt.

The main reason for throttling is that there are too many places to spend money next. Once the Western Expedition begins, it will be even more expensive. You must prepare in advance to live a hard life.
