There is a hospital and a trading center in the base, but there is no school.

There are countless children like Doudou whose parents are busy farming to earn crystal cores, and they can only follow them.

Jiang Run decided to build a school in the base.

After coming out of the field, Jiang Run talked to the Minister of Agriculture, and the old man's face became more serious.

"City Lord, I understand. I will do as you say."

……

After inspecting the Ministry of Agriculture, they prepared to return to the city.

Jiang Run had another place to go, so she asked the driver to stop downstairs of the Ministry of Finance's office building.

The Ministry of Finance is the most heavily guarded place in the entire Jiangcheng except for the City Lord's Office.

Jiang Run parked his car downstairs and Shu Jian went downstairs upon hearing the news.

"City Lord, if you want to go to the warehouse, follow me."

With a special key in his hand, he walked into the warehouse building at the back of the building.

There is a sentry post every ten meters here, and the shift changing times are staggered so there are no gaps.

The warehouse door is made of special material and cannot be broken by force. There are only two keys, one is in Jiang Run's hands and the other is in the hands of Shu Jian, the Minister of Finance.

At this time, Shu Jian opened the warehouse door wide.

The psychics on duty kept a sharp eye on the surrounding environment and did not allow any intruders to hide.

He turned on the lights and the warehouse lit up.

"City Lord, there are four warehouses in total. We are now looking at the grain storage warehouse."

“After the crops are handed over to the Ministry of Agriculture, they are dehydrated and stored in vacuum packaging.”

"Food like potatoes and wheat are all stored at low temperatures."

"According to the current storage situation at the base, there is enough food to last for a month."

Jiang Run whispered a few words into Shu Jian's ear, and the latter frowned slightly, "In this case, our food may not be enough."

Zhu Ning closed the door behind him to make sure that there were no outsiders at this time. Jiang Run raised his hand slightly, and the goods that had been squeezed in the space for a long time dumped out.

In order to prepare for the war, she had already turned on the fully automatic farming mode of the space and had been producing supplies like crazy in the past two days.

She roughly counted and found that the amount of food stored in the space had already reached an astonishing amount.

In front of Shu Jian, the food was dumped out.

The entire warehouse was filled tightly, and even the feet of several people were full of food.

Shu Jian, who was always calm, opened his mouth into an O shape, big enough to fit a country egg.

"Why, how can there be so much food?!"

He stretched out his fingers and counted the quantity carefully, "One, two, three, four, five, six... ten million jin!?"

He stared at Jiang Run with wide eyes. The latter had a blank expression on his face, and there seemed to be a hint of disgust in his eyes. "The warehouse is too small. Consider expanding it."

"Find a place. I haven't put all my supplies away yet."

Shu Jian heard the sound of himself swallowing saliva, and half of his body stiffened.

Howe!

So arrogant!

He really, really liked City Lord Jiang's inhumane behavior!

Shu Jian immediately calmed down and said excitedly, "City Lord, follow me. There are still a few warehouses. Let's requisition them temporarily!"

Jiang Run cleared out all the materials produced in the space in the past half month. Shu Jian went from being excited and admiring at the beginning to being just numb in the end.

A great man like City Lord Jiang would probably not have any doubts even if she said that she had emptied the world's granaries.

At this moment, Shu Jian was extremely grateful that he and City Lord Jiang were in the same camp!

Thinking of what City Lord Jiang had said just now about preparing for war, he shuddered all over and silently lit a candle for the enemy, who he didn't know.

Several people were coming out of the warehouse. After Shu Jian locked the door, his steps were unsteady. He had never seen so much food before.

Shu Jian, who was enjoying the fragrant rice and savoring it endlessly, was woken up by his subordinates.

"Report to the Minister, report to the City Lord, the person sent to the northwest has returned, and brought two messengers with him, they..."

The subordinate seemed to be hesitant to speak, probably because he had encountered some trouble.

Jiang Run interrupted, "Northwest? Are they those small bases?"

Shu Jian replied respectfully, "That's right. We sent people out to find out if they are willing to surrender to our base."

"I've been there a few times, and their city lord seems to have discussed it beforehand. He's dragging his feet and refusing to give us a definite answer."

"Including this time, this is already the fourth negotiation."

Shu Jian was also a little impatient. Logically speaking, this matter was not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance, but if those bases were taken over, the initial supplies would need to be issued by the Ministry of Finance.

Jiang Run had heard of those bases in the northwest. They were not going to amount to anything, yet they still wanted to correct them.

Jiang Run's eyes were cold, his thin lips parted slightly, and he uttered two words, "Lead the way."

Shu Jian shuddered, "Yes!"

When I walked into the hall of the Ministry of Finance, there were already two strange men standing in the middle, with their arms folded across their chests, looking a little impatient.

Seeing Shu Jian coming in, one of them sneered, "Why did Minister Shu come so late? It turns out he was busy accompanying a beautiful woman?"

This weird tone made Shu Jian frown. He said seriously, "You two, this is the mayor of our Jiangcheng, Jiang Run."

Hearing this, the two men's faces changed and they looked at Jiang Run out of the corner of their eyes.

Then he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Zhu Ning glanced at the two of them coldly and had a bad first impression of them.

They sat down, and before tea was served, the man spoke first.

"Minister Shu, Lord Jiang, if Jiangcheng wants our bases to surrender, it's not impossible. We discussed this last time we went back."

"How about this, as long as you Jiangcheng give us 3 million catties of grain each, from now on, we will have no second thoughts."

Shu Jian's heart sank when he heard this.

What happened to these bases?

The last time he came, he clearly only wanted two million catties of grain, but now he has directly raised the price and added a full million catties of grain.

There are five bases, each of which asked for three million kilograms, which adds up to 15 million kilograms.

Really, are you crazy?

Treating others as fools? Taking advantage of others?

Shu Jian's eyes turned completely cold. As the Minister of Finance of Jiangcheng, he was young but extremely dignified.

"I see your base doesn't want to cooperate?"

"Such harsh conditions, even if I want to agree, our Jiangcheng zombie army will not agree."

Shu Jian was not afraid at all and brought out the zombie army to dampen the opponent's morale.

However, the person on the other side had obviously made sufficient mental preparation and observed Jiang Cheng's situation carefully before rashly raising the price.

"City Lord Jiang is also here today, so let's just be frank."

"No matter how many zombies you have, they can't travel a long distance to wipe out our base. Minister Shu, please don't use this to pressure us."

"City Lord Jiang wants to unify the north, so of course our bases are willing to help. However, our psychics are the kind of people who won't release their eagles until they see the rabbit."

"Three million catties of grain, not a single catty less."
