Chapter 863: strategy of conquest

Then Jiangchuan Keiichiro heard a plan enough to make him doubt his ears.

Her Royal Highness seems to have long known the situation of insufficient

grain stocks and high grain prices here, and intends to temporarily set up a

regulatory agency to control and distribute grain at a fair price. . And the

price of food is set very low, belonging to the kind that most residents can

afford. Even if they can't afford it, the agency will run a food relief

program that allows the poor to trade labor for food rations.

Undoubtedly, this plan was by no means a slap in the face, at least in terms

of feasibility, he couldn't pick out any faults \- for example, the main person

in charge was provided by Jinxia, and some local people were recruited to

assist in the distribution of food, and It also takes into account the

possible corruption and private sales.

But the big question is, what is the benefit of the other party doing this?

Not to mention that you can't get much money, and you may even lose money

because of employment issues, which is a typical thankless effort.

After all, they can't always stay in Tsushima House forever.

In other words, the hearts of the people here mean nothing to Her Royal

Highness.

When a new ruler takes over, everything will go back to the way it was.

Of course... Maybe I don't need to think so deeply at all. Jiangchuan

Guiichiro moved his lips, but in the end he could only show a wry smile. No

matter how good the plan was, it had to be supported by food. No matter what

the other party thinks, Tsushima's house will not be able to extract so much

food.

"Her Royal Highness is kind..." He leaned down, "but we really don't have that

much food, unless you can persuade other princes to sell it to you, or..."

Or transfer grain from the mainland for assistance.

But the latter, even if he used his greatest imagination, dared not count on

it, so he simply did not go on.

"No food? I don't think so." The princess stretched out her hand and patted

it.

The door slid open, and a plump man was pushed in.

Jiangchuan Guiichiro turned his head and couldn't help but be horrified, who

is not the city lord and who is this! ?

Not only was he tied tightly, but a rag was stuffed in his mouth, and he could

only let out a muddy snort. And he was escorted by a beautiful fox girl, with

long brown ears on her head that were particularly eye-catching.

Shouldn't the Castle Lord Kido escape sooner?

And when he left, he was protected by the Guards, how could he be caught by

the Jinxia people so quickly?

Xia Fan secretly winked at Li, indicating that he did a good job.

Since growing twin tails, Li's fighting ability has suddenly improved a notch.

Whether it's the skill or the physical strength after transformation, it's not

the same as before. The moment the city lord dragged his family and left the

city, he was also seen by the investigation team. After contacting him through

the telegraph, Olina and Chi flew over immediately, carrying Li and Shanhui to

the ambush site \- despite the ambush There were only four of them, but under

the condition of one-way transparency on the battlefield, they defeated the

private army of hundreds of people from the city lord almost instantly.

In fact, when Li opened with an illusion that covered the entire road, and

included all the targets, the battle had no suspense. Castle Lord Kido was

unable to recover from the illusion until he was caught in the sky by Chi.

"In addition to him, we also caught a lot of escapees. Judging from the size

of the convoy they accompanied, there should be a lot of food at home." The

princess continued, "I believe that in the face of life and death, they will

be very happy to pay. out of your own provisions."

Egawa Kyuichiro swallowed.

He suddenly had a bad premonition.

"But I don't know exactly how much of these people's family properties are,

and where the villas and farmland are located, and I don't have the time to

check these things." The princess looked around at everyone, "You are all in

Tsushima. The worthy people should know a little bit, since you have sworn

allegiance to me, this matter is left to you."

As soon as the princess finished speaking, Jiang Chuan felt a burning illusion

behind him.

He tilted his head cautiously and saw Lord Kido staring at them, the anger in

his eyes was self-evident.

Even if the person who really wanted to deprive Kido of his property was

Princess Qiguo, the city owner did not dare to cast his anger on the

"culprit". This difference made Jiang Chuan feel absurd.

"Don't worry, these people will cooperate with your work." The princess said

confidently, "So what's your answer?"

There was silence in the lobby for a while.

"Oh? Is this what you call allegiance?" After a while, the other party's tone

became darker, "Kaiichiro Jiangchuan... I thought you dared to stand up to me

just now, but you still have other things in mind, and now you have to choose

Do you follow Kido Oriku and ignore the people of the Mafu?"

Jiang Chuan clenched his fists. Because of his background, he often dealt with

the residents of the city, and naturally he knew the hardships of their lives.

In the past, when dealing with taxation issues, he would also think of ways to

ease the burden on the poor and farmers, but the premise of all this was that

his own interests would not be damaged, which is different from the current

situation.

Once he participates in the house raid, I am afraid that he will not

immediately become a thorn in the eyes of the major wealthy families who want

to get rid of them. This result is even more serious than the betrayal-because

he betrayed not only the city lord of Kito, but all the people in Dongsheng

Kingdom. superior.

Others cast sympathetic glances at Jiang Chuan.

At this moment, the princess obviously intends to treat him as the first bird.

The castle lord of Kido can pay for his life with his property, what else can

they trade? If the answer is not good, the end may be worse than the city

owner himself.

"His Royal Highness... I have something I want to inquire about." Jiang Chuan

said with courage after thinking for a while.

"What happens if you don't agree?" The princess shrugged, "Don't worry, the

death penalty is not a problem, but your family wealth will also be included

in the flat food plan, just consider it another way to contribute to

a sigh of relief.

Jiang Chuan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, what I want to ask is not

this... but if you return to Qi Kingdom one day, can I go with the ship as a

courtier?"

Castle Lord Kito's eyes suddenly widened!

The princess raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and then chuckled, "Do you want

to go to Jinxia to be an official?"

"Yes." Jiang Chuan bowed his head deeply again.

This is the only way he can think of survival \- that is to completely become a

part of the princess force. He has also heard rumors about the mainland. The

officials there are no longer servants of the local princes. They are

uniformly appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, and they also serve

the entire kingdom.

"Then you have to perform well." The princess said with great interest,

"Everyone who can serve as an official in Jinxia is an outstanding choice. If

your task is accomplished well enough, this requirement is not

unsatisfactory."

"I am willing to do my best for His Highness." Jiang Chuan replied loudly

without hesitation.
