A month passed quickly.
With Lin Beifan's strong support, the entire country's people started to work in full swing. Some dug mines, some opened up wasteland, some dug rivers, and some trained soldiers. All of them were on the right track, showing a scene of prosperity.
However, the situation in the neighboring Desert Country was not too good.
Perhaps Lin Beifan had moved away all the fertile soil, but the rice seedlings that had just been planted gradually withered and turned yellow.
Even the grass around the rice seedlings did not grow.
The farmers and commoners of the Desert Country were all worried.
"What's going on? It's not like there's a drought. Why are the rice seedlings wilting?”
"Yeah, I was just wondering! Look at this land, there isn't much water, and there aren't many bugs either. In the past, we could grow a lot of food! But now…they had all withered!”
"I went to the rice fields in the neighboring village to take a look. They are the same. This year's grain harvest will definitely be poor!”
"What's going on? Who can think of a way? If the grain couldn't be harvested, they would definitely have to eat the plank!”
"Don't talk about eating a board. It's already good enough that you don't starve to death!”
……
Everyone's expression was very bitter.
After working hard for half a year, they were counting on this grain income.
If the grain could not be collected, not only would they not be able to eat, but they would also have to be beaten and their lives might be lost.
At this moment, a clever farmer suggested.
"I heard that the neighboring Xia country has gathered millions of people to carry out large-scale production. They are mining, opening up wasteland, and opening up rivers. As long as we work hard, not only will we have food to eat, but we'll also get money. Why don't we just escape to China!”
" This…" Many people were tempted.
If it was in the past, they would not have considered escaping to Xia country at all.
After all, at that time, the Desert Country was much stronger than Xia Country. The soil was more fertile, the economy was more developed, and the national strength was stronger.
Although their monarch could not be called a wise ruler, he could be considered a promising ruler.
At least, he was much better than the fatuous ruler of Xia country.
But now, he couldn't even eat and was about to starve to death. How could he still consider this?
Of course, they would run wherever there was food to eat.
"We're from the Mo Country. Will the Xia Country take us in?”Someone asked a sharp question.
"This is not a big problem!" The clever man looked around and whispered,""I heard that hundreds of thousands of people from neighboring countries have already come to China to make a living. That fatuous ruler is also generous and doesn't reject anyone! As long as he worked hard, he would have food to eat and money to receive! Now that we have no way out, why not give it a try?”
"You're right! At least he could still survive if he tried. Otherwise, he could only wait for death!”
"Let's go and muddle around for two to three months first!"
"I'll pack my things now and leave tomorrow!”
……
Many of the desert countries packed their things overnight and then ran to the opposite Xia country.
Xia country really did not reject anyone. As long as you were able-bodied, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and obeyed the arrangements, you would have food to eat and money to receive after working for so long.
Therefore, they finally relaxed and started to work seriously.
At this moment, the capital city of the Desert Country finally opened its gates and let people out.
The reason why he waited for a month before opening the door was because the Mo Kingdom's Emperor was scared of Lin Beifan's beating. He was afraid that the other party would come back and kill him, so he waited for so long.
After confirming that the other party would not come, he opened the city gate.
The first thing they did after opening the city gates was to recruit soldiers.
Because he only had 200,000 soldiers, his military strength was too little. He really could not defend this huge country.
The second thing was to collect food.
They didn't expect Lin Beifan to come to their capital. Hence, the capital's food reserves were insufficient and had almost been used up. It was time to replenish them.
However, the Emperor of the Mo Kingdom received bad news one after another.
"What? The soldiers can't come? Most of the young adults had already fled to Xia country?”The Desert Emperor was shocked.
"Yes, Your Majesty! As the rice seedlings had withered and turned yellow for unknown reasons, and the grain harvest was poor, they were afraid of hunger and punishment, so they fled to China to dig up the river!”The old minister smiled bitterly.
The Emperor's face darkened.
It was Xia Country again!
When he heard this word, he was angry and a little afraid.
"Humph! Ignore them! Since they want to escape, let them escape. Eating the poor Xia country can be considered as revenge for me!”"Where's the food?" The Emperor of the Desert Country asked with an unhappy expression. The most important thing is food!"
"Food…Your Majesty, there is no way to collect the food!”The minister lowered his head.
"What?" The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom was shocked again. They couldn't even harvest the food? Why can't I put it away?"
"Your Majesty, when the Xia army retreated, they took all the food along the way! "Now, our country's young adults have fled to China and taken away some of the food, so we really don't have any food left!”
The Mo Kingdom's Emperor's face turned black once again, turning purple.
It was Xia Country again!
Why is it always haunting me?
His reputation was ruined by this word!
