I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 735 Annual Food and Grass

The secret passage was blocked, and Prince Hader originally planned to use his own methods to retaliate.

Unexpectedly, he died before leaving the army and sank directly into the sand.

However, the people he was looking for were also people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

How could it be so easy to get rid of? Even though something happened to King Hader, it didn't mean that they would leave so easily.

Just by using siege, Prince Ide was trapped in the capital.

If it weren't for the fact that Fog City was the capital, there was usually a lot of food in the city. Otherwise, the soldiers in the city would have been so hungry that they would have surrendered with a white flag.

Ning Pengpeng also heard about the battle between Prince Hader and Prince Ide.

However, I don’t know what Mr. Ning Laosi said to Mr. Armand. Armand, who was originally lifeless, seemed to come to life all of a sudden.

In the following days, Ning Pengpeng rarely saw Ning Laosi.

Even Ning Jin'er occasionally appeared in front of Ning Pengpeng.

Basically, they come in a hurry and leave in a hurry.

Ning Pengpeng was deaf and blind, and soon learned from Qingniang and Ning Youkang what deal Ning Laosi and his daughter had made with Armand.

It can only be said that how much Armand was loyal to Prince Hader before, how much he hates him now.

What does it take to fight a war?
If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

With Armand here, it is not difficult to borrow soldiers and slaves from nobles everywhere, and the most important thing for the Ning family is food.

By the time they learned the news that Prince Hader had died in battle, Ning Laosi, Armand and the others, with their soldiers, were already rushing toward the Fog City with overwhelming momentum.

As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole stalks the cicada, but when the men brought by Prince Hader managed to kill Prince Ide, they were thinking of happily entering the city to share the benefits.

The troops of Ning Laosi and Armand arrived, and, just like they had surrounded Prince Ide before, they surrounded the capital.

To say that when they besieged Prince Ide before, at least there was still some food in the capital and they could hold on for a while.

But now, Prince Ide and the others will die because there is nothing to eat in the city.

When they rushed into the city, the first thing they did was to kill those men who were loyal to Prince Ide.

They didn't even think about bringing the food from outside the city to the capital in time. After all, in their hearts, the capital was already in their pocket.

Now that they came in, Ning Laosi and Armand were besieging them, and suddenly the situation was reversed.

They became turtles in a cage. They wanted to resist, but they had no food. As soon as they opened the door, they were violently attacked by Armand and his men.

Armand and Prince Ide were not on the same level at all. They were beaten back into the city and no longer dared to come forward.

This time, the people in the capital surrendered before the siege of Prince Ide lasted long!

As for what happened to Armand in private, only they themselves knew.

Entering the capital again, both Ning Laosi and Armand felt like they were in another world.

After all, one was the cunning businessman that Armand hated most at the beginning.

Now, he can be regarded as his immediate boss!

As for Ning Laosi, Armand was originally a high-ranking aristocratic general. This capital was a place where they temporarily settled down to do business, and they had no sense of belonging at all.

But now, if nothing else happens, this foggy city will belong to the Ning family.

The eldest, second and third child are not here, so the real owner here is him.

Any man has an unavoidable desire for power.

In this land, his ambitions were also inflated.When Ning Pengpeng was brought back to the capital by Ning Laosi, he realized that one of the important reasons for winning this time was the blueprint of the fire bubble that he had obtained from Armand's men.

On the Huludao side, after research and improvement, the fire bubbles made were several times more powerful than the fire bubbles that Armand originally had in his hand.

The most critical point is that the original fire bubble was installed on the ship.

The improved fire bubble can be pushed on land.

In this way, it becomes the best weapon for attacking the city.

The successful capture of the capital this time was all due to the new fire bubble, apart from the fact that there was no food in the capital.

Moreover, when Ning Pengpeng arrived in the capital, the capital had already returned to its former prosperity.

From ancient times to the present, as long as you have the ability to make money, you can solve many troubles.

After Ning Pengpeng and the others arrived in the capital, Ning Laosi quickly went to Westin Bay with Armand.

As an important port connecting the Jin Dynasty, coupled with the Ning family's textile factory and so many mines, Ning Laosi would never allow any mistakes.

After all, Westin Bay is the Ning family's retreat.

The nobles who were originally on the Westin Bay side wanted to resist.

However, looking at the many soldiers and slaves Armand brought with him, no matter how much resistance he had, he swallowed back his resistance and wisely handed over control of Westin Bay.

Ning Laosi knew that if these old fritters were left behind, they would definitely become a stumbling block for the Ning family.

Therefore, he simply took advantage of this opportunity to directly ask the nobles on the Westin Bay side to move out. As long as there was a reason to move out, he would pay a large fee.

If you don't move away, it doesn't matter. You no longer have the right to raise soldiers, you can only own slaves, and they are of a fixed number.

Looking at the soldiers and slaves led by Armand, the nobles dared not speak out in anger.

The biggest reason why the family can prosper is that they have soldiers in their hands.

If there are no soldiers, it will easily become the target of annexation.

Therefore, asking them to stop raising soldiers would be equivalent to cutting off one of their arms. How could they agree?
In addition, Ning Laosi was willing to pay such a large sum of money, so most of them naturally chose to move away from Westin Bay.

After all, although Westin Bay is a port, if Ning Laosi doesn't sell the goods to them, all they can earn is the money from the crops and horses in the farms outside the city.

If they don't move out, Ning Laosi will definitely not sell goods to them again.

In this case, the crops, cattle and horses in the village can be raised anywhere, and there is no need to be welded to death here in Westin Bay.

After cleaning up the Westin Bay, Armand left with the people.

Leave Fourth Ning here to take care of things.

Ning Laosi had made an agreement with Armand to capture the capital. Then he only wanted the towns bought by the Ning family and the land from the capital to Westin Bay.

The rest, as long as Armand can defeat it, belongs to him.

The Ning family is willing to provide Armand with ten years of food and grass so that he has no worries.

This is also the reason why Armand is willing to cooperate with Ning Laosi. Since Prince Hader betrayed him, he will take over the world and replace it.

Sorry, something happened to my hand during this time and I can't use my strength.

Because it’s already being wrapped up and almost finished, it’s just enough time for me to finish it.
