Early the next morning, I put on gloves and dressed warmly to meet He Yue.
To my surprise and reasonable, Heyue has already woken up and started to deal with various paperwork. Seeing me coming, He Yue stood up to greet me with a smile, pulled me to sit aside, and asked:
"How did you go with Miss Fang Thirteen yesterday?"
I smiled wryly and shook my head:
"What progress can be made? She fell asleep very early. I guess she was really tired during this time."
He Yue also restrained her smile, brushed the paperwork on the table with her fingertips, and said with some emotion:
"Actually, during this period of time, I also felt a little guilty. If I had considered the matter of immigration from the three cities more rigorously, I wouldn't have needed Miss Fang Shisan to work so hard. I thought I would be able to lead Yuxi City all the way, but I didn't." To think that in the blink of an eye you will have to put a heavy burden on someone who has had conflicts... let's not talk about that, just watch this."
He Yue handed me a letter. To be precise, it was a threatening letter.
This letter is from the hands of my cheap father, Lord Yunyang. It roughly means that I am no longer a member of the Yunyang Territory, and sending troops to attack the land of Li Neng is a declaration of war on the entire Yunyang Territory. But because we used to be father and son, he doesn't want to be too fussy about this matter. But in the eyes of outsiders, this is something that hurts the harmony of brothers after all. I hope I can return the four cities to show the friendship between us.
I almost choked on my saliva:
"He really dares to write. He is also friendly. He expelled me from the Yunyang territory with a piece of official document. Now he has the nerve to talk about brotherhood?"
He Yue put the letter aside and said:
"Leaving aside what his plans are, these four cities must never be returned. Yunyang is a big guy, without the support of the ten cities of Zhaochen in the north, he still can't fight against the lord of Yunyang with this family fortune alone. Yes, but if we return these four cities because of this, we will be trapped to death in Yuxi City in the future, and there will be no other way to go."
I had some plans in mind, but I still asked He Yue:
"What are you going to do?"
Holding the pen, He Yue said without hesitation:
"Tell him don't even think about it. Originally [Rivet City] is also in our pocket, but that city is a big city, and there are many treasures hidden in it for Li Neng's enjoyment. The value of wealth alone even exceeds that of [Suppressing Demons], The sum of the four cities of [Iron Wall], [Lieyang], and [Apocalypse]. But because Lord Yunyang is staying there, we also lost the best time to attack Rivet City. Let him tell him that Rivet City is our gift to him Gifts, if you want to take back the rest, you can bring the army yourself and meet us on the battlefield."
He Yue said, showing a smile, and said firmly:
"He didn't dare. Eternal Heaven Kingdom is undercurrents now, but any sober lord is unwilling to reveal too obvious details. Up to now, there has not been a lord who openly led troops to crusade against his own son. He will not do this I guess he will at most secretly lend some troops to Li Neng, and let Li Neng take revenge on his own. But as long as Lord Yunyang and his most direct troops don't personally dispatch, we can remain invincible."
He Yue put the pen on the table, with a graceful look in her beautiful eyes. He was obviously in a good mood, and the original downturn was swept away, and he said:
"There is still a lot of uncultivated land around the four cities such as [Zhenmo]. Our current surplus population can just be used. Next year, the army can expand its recruitment one or two times. I will definitely give Fang Shisan the food and grass on time. Delivery. As long as you handle it carefully, Li Neng's comeback is not too difficult to deal with. I only worry about two things now... No, it's better to say a little bit."
I asked:
"What?"
He Yue frowned her beautiful eyebrows, pinched a document in her hand with her white fingers, handed it to me, and said:
"That's the thing."
I took a look, and it was a letter signed jointly by the people. Since Heyue came to power, he not only communicated with the nobles, but if the people want to report something, as long as there are more than 50 people co-signing, they can be sent directly to Heyue. The document was filled with names at the end. I looked it over carefully and found that it was a complaint about the demon farm. Roughly speaking, the surrounding environment of the Mozu farm is very poor, the noise is not small, and the air also emits a bad smell, which has caused great troubles to the normal living and travel of the surrounding residents.
This letter is written with no literary talent or fancy rhetoric. It just records this matter and hopes it can be resolved.
He Yue said helplessly:
"I took Alaya to the site to investigate. However, Hantu and the others seem to have known about the public's complaints and rectified it in advance. We didn't find anything in the past. But I believe the words of the people. In fact, the magic The farm has been expanded several times in just a few months, and the number of demons in it is already beyond comparison. The amount of swill and feces discharged every day is unimaginable. There is another expansion plan next month, this time again Expansion, but it really stinks."
I took his words and said:
"But Yuxi City can't leave the Demon Race Farm now."
He Yue showed a wry smile:
"Yes. Unless the army is not expanded next year, weapons, armor, military pay, etc. will be an extra expense. We know that it is not a good thing to continue to expand the demon farm, and now we have to do it."
I thought for a while and said:
"Heyue, have you heard of [Industry Transfer]?"
He Yue froze for a moment and asked:
"Industry transfer? It's not difficult to understand the literal meaning, but I haven't heard of this concept before."
I said:
"Ah... this one. I just heard it from people by accident when I was in Lingyun City. Simply put, it is some industries in developed areas. Due to factors such as labor costs, markets, policies, and the environment, they are gradually transferred to developing areas. For example, continuing to develop the demon breeding industry in Yuxi City will cause environmental pollution, and the economic development of Yuxi City is getting better and better, and the land is becoming more and more expensive. Expanding the demon breeding farm in Yuxi City The income is getting lower and lower, and one day there will even be negative income. At this time, we need to transfer the demon farms to nearby cities, such as the four newly conquered cities, to make room for the development of more advanced industries.”
He Yue bit her pen and thought for a while, then nodded and said:
"Indeed. I have actually thought about this, but the problem is that the demon farm is now a relatively cutting-edge technology for us, and our people have already figured out a set of mature breeding methods. But when the demon farm gradually moves away from Yuxi City, far away from this center of power, without our supervision, these technologies are likely to spread. In fact, many people with unknown origins are coming to poach corners, but I have put a lot of pressure on Khantu. They did a good job, so they didn’t let those guys succeed.”
He Yue said, sighed, looking distressed.
