The so-called secret granary is to deal with natural disasters. After all, when a natural disaster strikes, the entire village has to be relocated. There is no way to produce on the road, and they can only eat stored grain. If these grains are taken away, they will be finished in the event of a natural disaster.

He didn't even need to encounter natural disasters, and he couldn't survive the next winter alone. However, the tax official didn't care about these at all. He only wanted Dragon Gate Coins or Origin Stone Coins. Of course, things that could be sold for money were fine.

In the end, the cavalry searched the entire village without leaving them a grain of wheat or a lamb, leaving only a group of desperate people kneeling in the ashes of their homes, unable to get up for a long time, the cold wind blowing through the fields, autumn is true is almost over.

Chapter 25 Get Ready

Longmen, a new urban area, thanks to the large-scale transformation of the Xia Group, every household here has been heated, and the stores have also installed leaf-cooled air conditioners and tower heaters, which is particularly special in this autumn season. Of course, this kind of warmth is not only in the physical sense, but also includes the spiritual warmth brought by the existence of the group employees who have money and are willing to spend.

In other places in Longmen, the turnover of stores and shopping malls began to decline. Only when the tourism and hotel industries were still a little bit warm, they could maintain a fairly good sales in the new urban area, and in the face of gradually lower purchase expenses. The prices of the seemingly lucrative shops quickly skyrocketed.

Those companies that completed the urban renovation for Laoxia almost free of charge have earned more than ten times the profits from real estate transactions and leasing. Now that the entire Longmen investment situation has begun to deteriorate, it is natural for such a high-quality project to spend as much money as possible go in.

As a result, the new urban area now looks more and more like the second commercial center of Longmen, an upper-class community. Most of the infected people and civilians who originally lived here have become richer. Economic strength often determines social status. Now the infected people in Longmen The treatment of investors has improved a lot on the bright side, at least the merchants will no longer refuse them to enter.

Because everyone's products are unsalable now, some types of products are not as cost-effective as throwing them in the garbage dump after including the shipping and processing fees. The Xia Group still maintains a meager profit on agricultural products with an astonishing unit cost.

In this late autumn, infected people who have money because of demolition and don’t like saving are the fathers of all capitalists and businessmen. As for the ore disease, it’s not a problem at all. The infected, even the wanderers outside the city, can be their ancestors.

A mature businessman would not do such a thing as driving away a life-saving customer, but immature salespersons are hard to say. These days, such conflicts have occurred countless times, and without exception, they all went down to the city with Longmen A new batch of unemployed people who moved in with boxes ended up being added.

[For example, Tuao is that immature salesman. Ying Jiang does things to raise his own value. Isn't it courting death for you, a salesman who sells goods, to do things for big buyers? 】

"I feel that the form of employment is not very good this year." Two girls who were probably high school students were chatting on the road, "My father is moaning and sighing every day, and I don't know what to do with my brother."

"Yeah, actually, I've felt that way since last year, and it's getting harder and harder to find a job." The red-haired twintail girl nodded, feeling that life was a bit difficult.

"Wait, doesn't your family belong to the group? How can the eldest lady of the group's employees find a job!"

"That's not hereditary, besides, my family is not a staff member of the group."

"Eh? Then why are you in our class?" The high school girl was a little confused. Isn't the middle school run by the group only recruiting children of employees and not recruiting from the public?

"Because I am an employee of the group." Angelina took out her work card, "Because I have to compete for the job of the logistics warehouse supervisor, I have applied for a leave of absence without pay to go to school for further studies." I don't have enough education, although the work performance is outstanding, but There is no way to continue to be promoted, so I can only apply for a leave of absence without pay to go to the group's school for further study.

"And isn't your home also owned by the group? Why are you still worried about finding a job?"

"Because you just said, it's not hereditary!" The girl sighed. The salary given by the group is no problem to support four people, but it is definitely not enough to support two families. If the elder brother starts a family, his father cannot afford it. Yes, and it’s not realistic for seven or eight people to be supported by a group.

On the contrary, for girls, the marriage market is good, because group employees mean a lot of invisible benefits, some of which can be enjoyed, for example, shopping in the group's supermarkets can be slightly cheaper.

Even without these benefits, they are still very popular, because the dowry will be very generous and if the family is in financial difficulties, the other side can help to some extent.

"Haven't you thought about going to the group to apply for a job?"

"Going to Kazdale? But...look over there!" The girl pointed across the road, and they chatted as they walked to the headquarters building of the group, "Wow, there are so many people!" There is even a row of tents on the side of the road. I don't know that these people have lined up a few days in advance.

Longmen is the only one that still maintains normal revenue and needs to expand its business, especially after negotiating a series of agricultural cooperation monopoly agreements with Casimir, which requires a large number of educated employees to be responsible, so they are the only ones in the entire Longmen who are still in the university. Large-scale recruitment organization.

Although the management of the group is very strict, the system known as the "big foreman" is stuck in all kinds of food and cards and internal human relations, and there is not much room for promotion. However, in this cold winter of unemployment Inside, having a job with sufficient wages and redundant work is already the treatment of heaven, who is so picky!

And this enthusiastic registration also shows the seriousness of the employment situation. These people have been queuing up at least a week ago, and even seriously affected the normal clerical work process of the group.

"It's really scary. It seems that Old Wei's stupid 'beep-' really can't do it. Why don't you give me the Dragon Gate~" Shi Huaiya could tell at a glance that this was a sign of economic winter. The shelter system should be improved immediately to reduce the number of homeless people in order to maintain the condition of the streets of Longmen, at least to maintain the profitable tourism industry.

Then decisively limit electricity and production, prevent factory involution, formulate minimum living security benefits and employment training, and look for new profit points, or even no profit points, take money from Longmen's huge tax revenue and use it as relief for work. Infrastructure, maintenance of public facilities, ensuring employment rate and social stability come first.

But Old Wei didn't take any of these measures, did he not understand?No, he knows very well, and because he knows so well, he dare not do it. At this time, what does a border feudal lord want to do by gathering refugees and organizing them?Relief with work?This is of course a reasonable reason, but it also depends on the great emperor Thaksin!

Moreover, it is impossible for Lao Wei to say that he has no selfishness at all. He showed such obedience, so the emperor of Dayan had to take care of this mess for him even for the sake of basic clan etiquette and kinship. Compared with the name, the price of giving Longmen a mess is too small.

As for the transfer of this crisis, how many people will die in Dayan, and how many people in Longmen will die before that, no one cares, or people who care, one is under house arrest by Lao Wei, and the other is resigned.

Well, being resigned, after all, can't be said to be dismissed, such a sick tiger will lose face, and it is easy to turn against the Xia Group. Resignation is a good fig leaf, and it is very reasonable. They have been engaged for three years, yes It's about time to go back and get married and inherit the family business.

And when it comes to getting married, Shi Huaiya's whole body is about to crack, "You come up with a solution for me!" The old sick tiger is no longer willing to procrastinate, demanding that they must get married before the end of the year Of course, there are many reasons for this. One of the main reasons is that Lao Xia is about to become the uncrowned king of Kazdel, and there are many beautiful girls around him.

"Is there anything I can think of, and isn't this your family's urging?"

"I know!" "Besides, I'm not at a disadvantage!" Of course, Lao Xia's morals are not so low that he can't pay his debts. Repudiating debts is really not something he can do, and taking a step back, uniting the enlightened aristocrats and the bourgeoisie itself is also part of the plan, and it is not a good thing to play himself as the enemy of the world.

Moreover, it is best to let Lao Xia act as the medium to unite these people, because his family members will automatically become Star Alliance citizens, which means that it is impossible for his family members to hold positions in this regime for a long time. If you can barely quibble, but if you are married, then even if you don't go through the formalities, it will be considered a "de facto marriage" and you can't be fooled.

Moreover, as the head of the family, he doesn't have much demand for the Terrans. According to the development law, he can now claim that the Sati Oasis and the Usas Snowfield are his development territories, and he hopes to return to the world he is familiar with. Only those who have seen the starry sky know how narrow the land under their feet is.

"Is this a matter of suffering or not? I'm really going to get married!"

"Then get married~"

"......"

"..."

"Hey, are you kidding me? You suddenly said this to me. There is no romantic proposal, and there is no sweet love. Now I will go to the grave with you. Then, you said to me calmly, let's go together." Die?" The little tiger narrowed his eyes, exuding a strong aura.

"Is there anything wrong? It can also calm people's hearts." In Lao Xia's position, his marriage is no longer a personal matter. It not only represents the relationship between two interest groups that must now cooperate, but also affects millions of people. future, and allies are also worried about it.

Because Lao Xia is an outsider after all, if he gets married, he will be considered half a Terran, and at least half of his butt needs to sit on the side of the Terrans, although according to him, the Star Alliance will not take the Terrans. How about pulling people, it can even be said to have a relatively good ending, but the doctor has never believed in the so-called promises and rumors.

Therefore, even the doctor is urging his marriage. He almost went out and saw everyone urging the marriage, ah, except Yelena with a stinky face, because this is a reassurance for everyone. In a dynasty, whether the king has heirs is a very important thing.

Marriage does not play any real role in politics or economics. When serious political and economic conflicts arise, the guarantee provided by marriage is very fragile, but it can have a great impact on both parties spiritually. The big impact is on everyone except the parties involved.

They have a reasonable excuse to cooperate and unite, they don't have to choose between loyalty and food, and even for some young people, they can work for two bosses without worrying about liquidation.

At the same time, it is also a statement that she will not eat alone food halfway and get rid of her allies to do it alone, but the little tiger didn't think of this at all, or she thought of it, but she didn't want to admit it-no girl wants her marriage not out of love , but exists out of the exchange of Chiguoguo's interests.

"Otherwise? How about you go talk to your family about canceling the engagement?" Lao Xia came out to retreat, and the little tiger stopped talking in an instant. The father usually dotes on his daughter very much, but at this time, he is afraid It's not really necessary to tie it up with a rope and throw it on the old summer bed, and cook the rice directly.

And in all fairness, Lao Xia is not annoying, at least she looks handsome, even if she is not Yangou, a good appearance will still have some bonuses.

In the face of irreversible matters, the little tiger was already desperate like Mrs. Xianglin muttering: "I shouldn't...I shouldn't go on a blind date...I won't go on a blind date Wouldn't have thought of that bad idea....wouldn't have gotten engaged if hadn't thought of that bad idea...wouldn't have gotten engaged without getting engaged...silly of me, really... "

[Brother Xun went in 1936, um, it’s been 50 years, after the protection period, don’t worry about being approached to collect copyright fees.jpg]

Boss Xia’s marriage is indeed a big event for Longmen and Kazdel. Even Ursas’s Snowfield Farm thinks so. It’s really embarrassing that several truckloads of gifts have been received before the date is set. One thing, especially for both parties.

"Congratulations, Char Siew Cat, you are really going to get married." Lao Chen's expression didn't show any congratulations at all. Knowing the inside story, she just wanted to find a place to have a good laugh. She was looking at this Char Siew Cat. Sell ​​yourself step by step.

"Hiss!" The little tiger took a deep breath, and all the shyness and embarrassment instantly turned into anger, "Yes, yes, yes, I am getting married, so, Chen Sir, let everyone have a drink whenever you set up a table What about the wedding?" Immediately, Lao Chen's expression froze, and she also realized that she had done something stupid, a single dog ran to show off her singleness in front of the newlyweds, wouldn't that bring shame on herself?

"Yes, when will Chen Sir get married? Do you have a boyfriend?"

"What are you talking about, Mr. Chen is dedicated to his career, besides, he is still young~"

"I'm not young anymore, I'm in my twenties, and I'll be thirty in a few years. Maybe by then, Sir Shi Huaiya's children will be able to go to elementary school!" The police officers from the Guard Bureau also booed, Every sentence went straight to the atrium like a sharp knife, especially the last sentence, where the dragon and the tiger were pierced at the same time.

Meanwhile, on the other side, "Are we going to congratulate? His Royal Highness the Regent?"

"Send an accompanying gift, and don't send any extra people. Your assassins are useless." Tracy knew what these people were thinking. Although they are now separated from each other, the basic face of nobles It is also necessary to communicate with them, otherwise it would really offend Victoria's group of big cats to death.

It’s just about the assassin. As soon as he heard that Xiaobi... the little girl in W was over there, he knew who the one who assassinated him before was. Now playing as an assassin, the only one who suffers is himself. There is no second stand-in to prevent the disaster, and as for whether Lao Xia has a stand-in or not, he is not sure now. If the other party dies as a stand-in and dies himself, wouldn't that be a big loss?

"Your Highness, if their wedding goes smoothly, then we..."

"That also means that the cat's enemies won't want to see him get such a powerful helping hand, and neither does that old snake of Ursus, and maybe even those who were their allies now."

When the strength changes due to the alliance, the relationship will naturally change. In the past, the emperor of Ursas could treat this ally with a more equal or even slightly higher attitude, so what about now?

Does the emperor still have the same attitude as in the past? Is he still confident to get rid of this ally after the warlord is eliminated?In terms of production, Tracy is not as good as Lao Xia, but it is another matter to talk about the minds of these nobles and emperors.

On the side of Saty Oasis, a doctor who also understands these things also raised this question, but he is much more optimistic than Trexis, and he also has a clearer understanding of who can be won.

"Right now, Victoria's dragon and lion will be your enemies. They will not explicitly express their hostility to you, but they will definitely support Tracy."

Because otherwise, although the tiger has no royal blood, it is true that the man with the strongest soldiers is the king. Once the new Kazdale is established, the tiger will have the ability to actually aspire to the crown of Victoria—whether he wants it or not is not important, he can Not being able to is the key!

"The same is true for Ursas, and even the little emperor will be more determined to support Teresis, because Victoria and the others still need to deal with the power that is actually threatening the crown, and they will win over the Shihuaiya family and you to some extent. It’s not too much, and your power is behind the little emperor’s butt, unless he has hemorrhoids, he will never like the feeling of a knife on his butt.” The doctor said a very cold joke, but the truth is the same.

"As for Lao Wei, he opposed you on the surface, but he supported your forces secretly." The objection on the surface was because he did not dare to give the Emperor Dayan an excuse, while his secret support was based on the borders of Longmen and Dayan. Kazdel maintains Longmen's autonomy and his security.

Because Emperor Dayan really needs to think about the consequences of forcing him to rebel, and when both sides have a certain tacit understanding, Old Wei will be more comfortable.As for Iberia, they have sealed off the country, but considering Skadi's relationship, they should not be hostile. As for Casimir and Sami, it goes without saying that Lao Xia can play the tricks of distance and close attack, and the doctor can also play.

"The only uncertain factor now is Letania and Syracuse." These two countries are indeed difficult to determine. Syracuse is similar to Italy. Now it is ruled by various families jointly, and the government is just a white glove of the family.

In a sense, it can be regarded as a republic system, while Leitania is another situation. They treat the infected more gently, have a dedicated community for the infected, and domestic conflicts are not so sharp.

However, their views on Sarkaz are very fierce, because Laitania was one of the main targets robbed by Kazdel's Sarkaz in history! ! ! !

Of course Sarkaz is not the only one in Kazdel, but only Letania was robbed by the established system, and Sargon, who also has a large number of Sarkaz tribes living nearby, rarely has this experience.jpg

Therefore, the attitudes of the two countries are very unpredictable, "In contrast, I am more inclined to fight for Syracuse, which is between us and Victoria, and it is just behind Teresis. With the help of Syracuse, Teresi's rear will be very unstable."

Victoria, Letania, and Casimir happen to be an inverted triangle. Victoria is at the bottom, Casimir is to the west, Letania is to the east, and in the middle is the wasteland of the three. Ursus passes through this road. The waste land directly threatens these three countries, and Lao Xia's supplies are also imported into Victoria from this waste land.

Compared with taking the wasteland route and fighting against piles of monsters, wild thieves and frequent natural disasters, taking Syracuse to enter Victoria is closer. Of course, it is also easier for Victoria to support Tracys from this road.

Winning Syracuse is tantamount to cutting off the connection between Tracys and Victoria, and it also means that Lao Xia can use this road to add obstacles to Tracys, if he wins Agor and Iberia again , then Tracys is surrounded.

It's just that if Letania overturns, it means that Lao Xia is surrounded. Therefore, Teresis will definitely fight for Letania with all his strength, and the doctor thinks that they will fight for Syracuse with all their strength. That said, it's less difficult.

After all, Syracuse also knew that the Sarkaz bandits who were close at hand were more threatening. Once they grew stronger, they would be the next one to be robbed as fat sheep. "Whoever wins our goal first will gain the initiative in the war!"

"Do you really want a war?" Kelsey frowned. She was actually a pacifist and didn't want to trigger a large-scale war.

"It's all come to this point, unless Tracys gets mad, or those princes and nobles hang themselves, otherwise, we must have a battle. Instead of delaying it, it is better to have a decisive battle as soon as possible."

The doctor had made this plan a long time ago, but Teresia was unwilling to expand the flames of war, Kelsey also opposed a large number of people being displaced by the war, and the doctor was indeed unable to accommodate refugees. After smashing the world, he quickly rebuilt and finally Leading to Kazdel's ongoing civil war and Thearesia's death.

Otherwise, based on the comparison of Tracy's tactical level and the force of the two sides, he would have been driven into a grave by a doctor. After all, a normal Terran person can call [-] of Terra's top scholars at any time. , commanders, statesmen, and heroes remember creatures that compare tactics and strategies.

[PS]

Then there is the part about getting married to Syracuse. Although this volume is called Kazdel’s Winter, in fact, the final winter will only appear at the end of the volume. The Kazdel Civil War part appears. The Nian and Yan Kingdom parts that appeared later were all preparations for war.

The war is not fought by someone with a slap on the head. Both sides need to make preparations. Tracy needs to win allies, stockpile supplies and funds, and the flames of war and the preparation stage will drive ordinary people in Kazdel to a dead end.

When it was time to start the war, it basically ended, and then the civil war in Kazdel and the Ursus invasion of Sami, as well as the complete outbreak of the Great Depression, triggered the World War on Terra—during the long winter, only doing Those who are fully prepared can survive to the end.

Chapter 26 The Ranger and the Knight

All kinds of vehicles collided together, black smoke covered the sky, a gentleman in luxurious clothes was protected by a small group of cavalry, surrounded by guys dressed as wild bandits with their faces covered, seeing this scene, Margaret almost pulled out immediately. The weapon rushed forward, but was held back by the uncle.

"Do not impulse"

"Uncle!? Are we just watching? This is not in line with what you taught me." But she struggled to break free from the ranger's hand, who sighed and pulled the niece out of the hiding place.

"My friend, I have no malice." The ranger raised his other hand, indicating that he was not carrying a weapon. "I'm just a ranger."

"Ranger knights? I've heard of you." The leader of the bandits nodded, "You knights don't live in castles, but you have lost your mind. You want to wander in the wilderness and give justice to people everywhere. I don’t like you meddling knights!” The leader emphasized the two syllables and softened his tone, “However, my people have received a lot of favor from you, so let’s just leave it at that. here."
