Book-traveling villain: The saint is trained into a witch at the beginning

Having lost his most proud wings, the Demon Emperor at this time has completely lost his lofty posture.

It lay on the ground and looked at Ye Fan, its expression was a little sluggish, and an indescribable emotion hit its heart.

Is it regret?

No, it's not.

As soon as this thought came to me, it was suppressed back.

It closed its eyes and sighed dejectedly.

This world is like this, if you are strong, you will be strong, and if you are weak, you will die.

I'm not wrong, it's just that I'm not as good as others.

Ye Fan didn't waste more time on the Demon Emperor, he directly cut off its neck with a knife, and then imprisoned its divine soul.

Without a leader, the demon clan quickly split into small groups, and in just seven days, they were scattered.

The situation at the border has stabilized for the time being, but the danger has not been completely resolved.

While the Dafeng Empire was busy relocating the victims, comforting the martyrs, and disposing of the piles of corpses, the Great Liang State of the Western Regions directly sent 100,000 troops into the territory that the Dafeng Empire had abandoned before defending.

It is called "cooperative defense".

In the memory of the Demon Emperor, Ye Fan had already learned all the details of the meeting between the Demon Emperor, the Qingyang Holy Land and the Three Clowns of the Great Liang Kingdom.

Therefore, when he heard that the land of the Dafeng Empire was forcibly occupied, he didn't have much expression, but just said lightly and leave it alone for the time being.

It's not necessarily a good thing to get that land back anyway.

Judging from the feedback from the Leopard Shadow Hall, after this battle, the Northern Regions also became lively.

First of all, two righteous path sects of considerable scale were merged into the Haoran Sect, and within a few days, the Haoran Sect openly entered the Blizzard Empire and the Yanyang Dynasty, two mortal dynasties that were not inferior in size and scale to the Dafeng Empire.

It seems that he felt that there were immortal cultivators behind him, and the Northern Regions spontaneously organized, and the Eighty Nations Alliance, which wanted to force Yi Ge to step down by force, was not stopped because the Demon Emperor was killed.

On the contrary, they also accelerated the speed of assembly, and they don't know who gave them the courage.

Ye Fan returned to Jingshi from the border line, and after letting Shangguan Jingxian go to rest first, he asked the Leopard King to come to see him.

"What is the situation of the treasury and grain depot of the Dafeng Empire?" The Leopard King only briefly recalled, and then replied fluently: "Muslim Master, due to the incompetence and arrogance of the previous generation of emperors, the treasury of the Dafeng

Empire is basically cleaner than face. "

In terms of food, due to the death of 300,000 men and the confrontation with the demon clan for so long, this year's farming has been very seriously affected, I am afraid that ......" "I am afraid

that the output will be greatly reduced, and more than 20% of the farmers may not even have enough food for the winter."

Ye Fan bowed slightly.

This was to be expected, but slightly worse than expected.

"We are here to support their food, but we can't give it to them directly. Ye Fan handed over a stack of drawings to the Leopard King, "Let Wu Yige mobilize the population of the whole country, especially those who have just been withdrawn from the border, have no land to plant, and are displaced."

"These two projects must be completed within five years. The

Leopard King took the drawing and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp.

This kind of work may be nothing for a monk who can move mountains and reclaim the sea, but it ......

mortalCan mortals really complete such a large amount of work?

According to the Leopard King's estimate, let alone five years, it will be completed in ten years.

Moreover, the project is huge and the labor is heavy, which will lead to the abandonment of a large amount of farmland.

In this way, it will lose the support of the people and ruin the operation of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"Master, this ...... Do you want our people to be involved?" asked the Leopard King apprehensively.

"You can participate, but you can't compete with mortals. Ye Fan nodded and said, "Engineering is not an end, just a means of disaster relief." Looking

at these two projects from a new perspective, the uneasiness in the Leopard King's heart suddenly disappeared.

"Sect Master, rest assured, up and down the Leopard Shadow Hall, I will do my best!" Back

in his study, the Leopard King looked at the two engineering drawings again and again.

"The Great Wall, the Straight Road...... With such courage, I'm afraid that apart from the sect master, there is no second person in this world who can do it.

After sketching out two rough plans, he sent someone to call Yi Ge over.

"I've seen the Immortal Master. Yi Ge bowed solemnly.

Outside, she is the emperor above ten thousand people, and here, she is just a useful tool, and she doesn't dare to have half a shelf.

The Leopard King took the engineering drawing to her: "This is an order from the sect leader himself, if there is no problem, please issue the holy decree as soon as possible."

Yi Ge opened the drawings, only looked at them twice, and his face changed drastically.

"Immortal Master, this ...... I ...... "

If these two projects start at the same time, it is conservatively estimated that millions of laborers will be needed."

"After two wars, the domestic farming has been overwhelmed, if the conscription is carried out at this time, the farmland will be harvested!"

Yige knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Ask the Immortal Master for mercy!" the

Leopard King looked down at her, and she slowly raised her head and looked at the Leopard King.

A pair of clear eyes flashed with fear for a moment, and then they were full of determination.

Although her whole body was tense to the point of trembling slightly, she still did not avoid the Leopard King's scrutinizing gaze.

Even if she rebelled against the immortals, her determination to protect the people of Li made the Leopard King a little surprised.

"You have to understand that this matter is what the sect leader meant, and there is no need to discuss. He sighed slightly, and his tone involuntarily softened a lot, "Get up first and listen to me."

Yi Ge exhaled a breath of turbid breath tremblingly, and stood beside the map worriedly, waiting for the next step of the Leopard King.

"First of all, in these areas on the border that are not in danger to defend, do not have the idea of sending troops to regain lost territory in the short term. The Leopard King pointed to the map, "This time, priority will be given to the homeless people who have retreated from the border.

"Considering the situation of Dafeng's granary, the Heavenly Demon Church provides everyone who serves as a servant with one lunch and a small bag of white rice every day.

"After working for a month, you can get a bucket of rice noodles, or consistent money.

"If you want to add anything more, you can pay out of your own pocket, I'm okay with that. "

Hearing that the Heavenly Demon Church provided the most urgently needed food for the Great Phoenix Empire, and also deliberately took care of the helpless homeless, this kind of good thing that would benefit his country and do no harm would actually happen to him, made Yige almost think that he was dreaming.

After all, even a righteous leader like Haoran Sect rarely cared about the lives of mortals, and Yi Ge never thought that one day he would be able to get a lot of aid from the Heavenly Demon Sect, a demonic sect.

Moreover, this was given by the Heavenly Demon Sect on its own initiative, without any strings attached!

After saying a lot of thanks, Yi Ge also re-examined the Great Wall and the Straight Road.

Not only the construction needs manpower, but also the source of raw materials and the placement of labor, which are all problems that need to be solved with heart.

"Immortal Master, no matter what, the manpower and material resources consumed by these two projects are very huge. Yi Ge cautiously said, "Yi Ge is puzzled, can you ask the immortal master to solve your doubts

?" The Leopard King sneered: "Huge?, then may I ask, how many soldiers are there at the border pass of the Dafeng Dynasty now?"

"If you give up the outer territory, you must maintain at least 100,000 garrisons. Yige replied without thinking.

"100,000 people, the daily consumption of grain and grass is a lot of money. The Leopard King took out his small abacus and crackled, "Plus military salaries, weapons and armor......

" "According to Dafeng's existing conditions, 1.2 million taels of rice and noodles and 700,000 taels of grain and grass will be transported to the border every year."

"According to the calculation that each person can transport six buckets of rice and flour or four bundles of grain and grass, five million people should be conscripted, and the freight should be nine million taels of silver, which is only a lot more.

"And that's not even counting the money for grain and forage.

Faced with this number, Yige's pupils trembled.

Why has there never been a single person from the three provinces and six ministries who have reported it? This

group of bastards who

are vegetarian in the corpse position is still the second !! the cost of money, and the key is heavy conscription, and in the long run, she is afraid that it will provoke a civil uprising!

She broke out in a cold sweat and did not dare to think about it further.

"That...... Dare to ask the Immortal Master, how much will it cost to build

the Great Wall?" The Leopard King went through the recent prices in his mind, and said while calculating: "If you calculate according to the standard of the mortal city wall, the 17,000-mile Great Wall, three million taels of silver is enough to complete the construction.

"If you add some enchantments and formations to it, it may cost more than four million, and you will need the assistance of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Yi Ge fell into deep thought after listening to it.

On one side is nine million taels a year, and on the other side is four million taels once and for all, as long as you are not a fool, you know how to choose.

It's just that she is a little undecided on the two plans given by the Leopard King.

Do you want to add the Immortal Family's defenses to the Great Wall?
