Chapter 203 Food

Another point is to thank the Zhou State for not killing people on the grasslands, but instead drove people to various cities. In this way, the Liao State has a large population, and there are soldiers and horses. As long as he gives orders, he can pull out millions of troops at any time. With so many troops, he doesn't believe that Zhou State can handle it.

However, the premise of all this is that he must have something, that is, food. If there is no food, everything he thinks is nothing but the flowers in the moon water in the well, and there is no meaning.

In Yelu Qi's opinion, it is actually not difficult, because the Liao Kingdom does not lack food at all. If there is a shortage of food, it is also a shortage of ordinary people at the lowest level of society. The upper class of Liao Kingdom not only does not lack food, but is very rich. Just picking up a noble family is enough to support thousands of households.

The Zhongjing Prefecture where he is now located is one of the five capitals, and is the second largest city in the Liao Kingdom in Tokyo. It has a population of 500,000 or 600,000, and the population that has fled to famine now is millions. In such a large city, there are many princes, nobles, wealthy merchants and great merchants. Moreover, because the Shi Kingdom was captured by the Zhou Kingdom, most of the princes, nobles and nobles of the Shi Kingdom fled to Zhongjing Prefecture with their families. Now the Zhongjing Prefecture is full of high-ranking officials and nobles, and countless merchants and celebrities are numerous.

These noble merchants moved here, which naturally brought a lot of wealth and goods. As the most important food on the grassland, there are certainly many.

As for why these nobles of the royal palace came with a large amount of food? Don’t forget that this is not an ordinary world, but a mythical world full of strange and mysterious. Although it is difficult to find the world of storage magic weapons, it is not uncommon. It is just not common, nor is it as magical as the legendary legend. It can hold a mountain, a world, or something, but it is still no problem to hold a 100 or 200 kilograms of food.

Of course, no one is so stupid that he can hold food such an extremely precious thing, most of which are valuable things.

The large-scale transportation of food is still based on the livestock in this world, like a magic horse. You should know that this kind of horse is far from comparable to an ordinary horse. However, traveling thousands of miles a day, it is a matter of carrying one or two thousand kilograms of grain at will. This is still an ordinary magic horse. For example, the dragon-blood magic horse equipped by the cavalry of the Great Zhou is even more powerful. It is not only powerful, but also as fast as lightning. This is also the reason why the heavy cavalry of the Great Zhou can completely abuse the light cavalry.

Although magic horses are magical, they are not uncommon. There are many in any small tribe in the Liao Kingdom. However, because the flesh of magic is sour and hard to swallow, and the appetite is very great. A magic horse eats enough grass every day to raise dozens of ordinary horses, and ordinary herdsmen and small and medium-sized tribes will naturally not raise too many.

But the nobles and merchants are different. They are rich and powerful, so they naturally have many magic horses to use under their command. This is also the reason why the nobles can still bring a lot of food when they escape. After all, food on the grassland is much more precious than gold. There is a saying on the grassland, "What you can't buy gold, you can definitely get food." If you have such precious things, you must take them with you when you escape.

When he first arrived in Zhongjing, he asked the nobles in the city to donate a lot of food to serve as military use. When the Zhou cavalry was raging the grassland, a large number of people fleeing famine flocked to Zhongjing, causing the price of food to rise sharply. In order to stabilize the price of food, he ordered the nobles to sell some food at a low price, but the price of food was too crazy and rose several times a day.

For a time, no noble was willing to sell food, and even he was slanderous to him, the Khan, and he was shirked, either pretending to be poor or justifying him.

He naturally knew the reason. It was not because of a series of great defeats that made his prestige plummet. In addition, his strength was greatly damaged, so he was barely stronger than the eight tribes, and his words were naturally useless.

Besides, at this time, the food can no longer be measured by its value, but has become a priceless treasure. They can't buy it even if they want to buy it. Naturally, they want to hoard it and make a fortune. As for the life and death of the people of Liao, what does it have to do with them? Even the Khan doesn't care about it, let alone them.

Although these nobles were indifferent and ruthless, had no sense of family and country, and were also disobedient to him, Yelu Qi was surprisingly not angry. What should I do if there was not enough food? Of course, he had to use his favorite method to force it. How simple and effective is it? This is also the reason why he is not angry. Who would be angry with a group of dead people?

As for whether he would offend the nobles on the grassland, how could he care? He had almost nothing, and his reputation was not good, so it didn't matter if he was a little bit bad. Besides, you don't take me, the Khan seriously. So what's the use of keeping you, and will it make things worse?

He is now trying to tell these nobles a truth. Since you dare to reason with Ben Khan, then Ben Khan will dare to attack you.

The noble of a country, with golden words and jade words, is a violation of the situation, and just kill it. What's the reason to say?

As for the remaining merchants, it would be easier to deal with. You should know that in the Daliao, only the royal family and nobles were able to do business. Ordinary civilians had no chance to become merchants at all. Even if civilians were full of luck and were lucky enough to become merchants, they still rely on the power of nobles.

Since even the nobles were punished, these merchants naturally dared not not to give out their food. Of course, Yelu Qi would not kill him quickly. After all, after driving away the Zhou army, the industry and commerce of the Liao Dynasty still needed them, so it would be enough to just steal the food.

Moreover, in Yelu Qi's view, the Liao Kingdom is far from over. In fact, the foundation of the Liao Kingdom is still there. As long as the food problem can be solved, it can at least ensure that the Liao Kingdom will not perish.

So what he is doing now is not to defeat Zhou State, of course it is also somewhat unrealistic. The current Liao State is not a little worse than Zhou State. He understands this very well, so what he needs to do now is to ensure that the inheritance of Liao State can be continued.

As the supreme on the grassland, he understood the truth too much. How many nations were born and prospered in the grassland, but how many nations eventually disappeared on the grassland. Not to mention the distance, just say that the Capricorn dynasty, which was once powerful and almost unified the eastern region, was not the same as the Han Empire, and the country was destroyed and the race was destroyed. Too much history witnessed the survival, fall, rise and fall of tribes.

What Yelu Qi wants now is to try his best to continue the Liao Kingdom, not to be enslaved by the Great Zhou, nor to be assimilated by the Great Zhou. Even though he could live a good life, there would be no Liao Kingdom from now on, which is something he could not accept.
