Chapter 829 It is easy to seek priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover (3)
Nangong Mo nodded, "Sit down and talk, what's going on in the Ning Palace now?"
Liu Han shook his head and said, "It seems that King Ning is determined not to interfere in Youzhou and the court. These days, Tainingwei has still been as usual without any abnormal movements. But..."
"But what?"
Liu Han said: "Because of the war between the two sides, people have now escaped to Xizhou."
No matter when, as long as the war starts, the ordinary people are the most suffering. They have no protection for themselves. They rely on only a few acres of thin land or a small business to live, begging them to encounter a peaceful and prosperous era. If the world really becomes chaotic, they can only accept it, and struggle in the troubled times like rootless floating duckweed.
"What is King Ning's reaction?" Nangong Mo asked.
Liu Han frowned and said, "King Ning didn't say anything, just pretending nothing happened. Many people have fled to Xizhou."
Upon hearing this, Wei Junmo frowned slightly. Nangong Mo asked, "What?"
Wei Junmo pondered for a moment before saying, "Eizhou is not enough to feed a large number of refugees, either food or land." The geographical conditions of Xizhou are really average, so even in the peaceful and prosperous times, the population here will not soar like the Central Plains or Jiangnan region. Because the land that can be cultivated here is very limited, in the peaceful and prosperous times, the people can only starve to death without land.
"How many people can Xizhou accommodate?" Nangong Mo asked. She had not paid attention to these issues before. After all, Xizhou is the territory of Ning Wang. Even if they want Ning Wang to help Youzhou now, the first thing they paid attention to was Ning Wang's own attitude and the situation of Taining Wei.
Wei Junmo said: "At most, 200,000."
"There should be no problem for the time being." Nangong Mo said. The population in the north is not large. Once a war starts, most people will choose to flee to the south or closer to Youzhou in the north, rather than to go to the Xizhou, which they originally thought was not wealthy. Therefore, those who come to Xizhou will not exceed the capacity of Xizhou in a short period of time.
Wei Junmo shook his head, "But King Ning did not resettle these people." If the fleeing people were not properly resettled, they would become refugees. At that time, it would not be just a problem of food, but even major problems would arise in the public security of Xizhou.
"King Ning wants to expand his army." After a long time, Wei Junmo said lightly.
"Expand the army?" Nangong Mo was surprised. Wei Junmo said: "As long as King Ning expands his army in large quantities, the problem of excessive population in Xizhou will be solved soon."
"However, expanding the army also requires military pay and food." Liu Han couldn't help but say.
Wei Junmo said calmly: "Now that the Yan Prince's Mansion and the imperial court are asking him, so he naturally won't have to worry about food and grass."
Nangong Mo suddenly realized, "So... King Ning is already preparing to negotiate with us."
Wei Junmo nodded slightly, "That should be true."
Nangong Mo understood King Ning's plan, whoever gave more benefits would help, or he could still make a profit from it without helping each other. After all, as long as he showed a little inclination toward who would be extremely unfavorable to the other party.
"If this is the case, what are you going to do?" Nangong Mo asked.
Wei Junmo raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Don't worry."
Nangong Mo shrugged, "Okay, I'll wait and see."
Once again, Wei Hongfei was so dark that it was almost dripping from ink. He returned to the inn angrily and happened to meet Nangong Mo and Liu Han. The two sides met in the lobby downstairs and obviously didn't want to pay attention to anyone. Wei Hongfei glanced at the two of them and left with a cold face.
Wei Junbo nodded to the two of them, and Wei Junze glanced at them sinisterly and followed his father and brother.
Nangong Mo smiled and looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, and said with a smile: "It seems that it has failed again."
Liu Han also smiled and said, "This result is not surprising. How could a person like King Ning be solved with the diligence of going?" These days, they have some understanding of King Ning. This prince has to be said to be a strange man in the royal family. If you think he is reckless and incompetent, you only know how to enjoy it, then the one who is unlucky in the end must be yourself.
"I'm a little curious about what Wei Hongfei will do next."
Liu Han said: "The subordinates will make people stare at them."
It is so strange in Xizhou City now. Wei Hongfei's people are staring at them and the Ning Prince's Mansion, and the Ning Prince's Mansion also stares at Wei Hongfei and them. Naturally, they will not let Wei Hongfei and Ning Prince go. Everyone lives in peace on the surface, but in fact they are guarding against each other and are ready to tear each other's platform at any time.
Xizhou City is not much different from Youzhou City. Except for Youzhou City, which is the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty of the previous dynasty, which left many houses of the previous dynasty. The general style is rough and heroic. You can still see it when you first came here, but after a long time, you can see nothing through it. In contrast, Nangong Mo prefers to go to the city tower to see the ancient city tower. This is an ancient city tower that has a history of hundreds of years. If you climb up the city tower and look west, you can see the ancient battlefield not far outside the city. From ancient times to the present, many alien races invaded here, and generations of soldiers stationed at the border fought bloody battles here. It was not until the establishment of the Great Xia that the territory was expanded westward that this place was truly peaceful in the past few decades.
Nowadays, the city tower of Xizhou is no longer heavily guarded, but only a few patrol troops. The city tower was not something that ordinary people could go up, but Nangong Mo was brought by King Ning for the first time. After that, the soldiers guarding the city were not allowed to give orders, but they no longer stopped her. When they were bored, Nangong Mo would occasionally walk on the city tower with Wei Junmo.
"Princess Xingcheng." At the entrance of the city tower, a soldier greeted him respectfully.
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "There is someone above?"
The soldier nodded and said, "The prince is on it, the prince asks the princess to go up too."
Nangong Mo nodded, "Speed the way if you have the opportunity."
Before he could climb the city tower, he heard the sound of silk and bamboo music coming from the city tower. Nangong Mo couldn't help but be amused. His Highness Ning was very good at making trouble. He seemed to spare no effort to make the world think that he was just a playboy who didn't make progress. I don't know if he wanted to hide himself or was too unruly, or both, right?
Seeing Nangong Mo coming up, King Ning turned his head and raised his glass to her, and smiled and said, "Princess Xingcheng, come here to have a drink together?"
Nangong Mo had a black thread, "The prince is free."
King Ning laughed loudly, "You must have fun in life. The princess is not a common man, so why bother with these red tape?"
"I've seen the princess." Biyan, who was sitting next to Ning Wang, stood up and saluted.
