Sun Xiao really couldn't figure out how Gao Yuan could knock out a large sum of silver taels and weapons and armor from his enemies, but what did it matter? As far as he is concerned, having money and food, so that he can repair Jishi City quickly, those nerve-wracking things, it would be good to have a general to deal with, well, now there is a sour scholar who pays attention to it at a glance.

In fact, Sun Xiao still has respect for readers, in this era, there are too few readers, among the common people, most of them have a very high reputation, in the Fufeng Army, a guy like Cao Tiancheng who only knows a few words, was able to mix in the position of the head of the capital in the palace of a group of bandits, and Sun Xiao was on an equal footing, and the reason is here.

Sun Xiao was dissatisfied with Jiang Jiaquan, most of them came from Jiang Jiaquan's fact that he had been an enemy of the general, plotted against the general, and was preconceived.

"Winter is coming soon, General Sun must complete the excavation of the earth and stone house before the soil is frozen, otherwise at that time, there will be a lack of enough soil and stone, the city wall will not be able to be built, and the stone must be prepared, as for the wood and iron, we will organize enough supplies in Fufeng and send them to you before the heavy snowfall." Jiang Jiaquan advised.

"I can save this!"

"Also, where can Cao Sima have enough storage of cotton clothes and other things that General Sun said earlier?"

"Fufeng City is working overtime to catch up!" Cao Tiancheng nodded, "I didn't expect Sun Xiao to make such rapid progress and gather so many people, and the storage is indeed a little insufficient, but since we are here, of course we have to treat everyone equally, and we can't distinguish between the Central Plains and the Huns, let them have a rift, and between the first heavy snowfall, it should be ready!" ”

"Good. Sun Xiao, in addition to these, you have a big problem! Jiang Jiaquan looked at Sun Xiao with a smile.

"What's the big problem?" Sun Xiao's scalp was a little numb.

"You need to prepare an extra 10,000 to 20,000 temporary houses!" Jiang Jiaquan's words scared Sun Xiao upside down, "What, one to twenty thousand people? ”

"Not bad. The general's father-in-law was generous, and there were 10,000 craftsmen of all kinds among the dowries for Miss Ye, and among the 10,000 craftsmen, most of them dragged their families, whether it was Fufeng City or Curie Pass. They can't be placed, so we simply do it in one step, and when they arrive at Fufeng, we will place most of the craftsmen where you are, so that you not only have enough craftsmen to help you build the city, but also can always maintain a high proportion of the Central Plains and the Huns in Jishi City. You tell me? ”

With a large number of craftsmen helping to build the city, Sun Xiao was naturally overjoyed, but when he thought of placing such a large number of dingkou. Don't be sad.

"The temporary houses can be repaired in a hurry, and there are enough heating items, but suddenly there are 20,000 more people, what will happen to the food?" Sun Xiao asked.

"Zhengdong Mansion has already made some plans for this." Jiang Jiaquan raised his eyebrows. "From now on, Sihai Commerce and Trade has begun to purchase a large amount of grain in Liaoxi, Hejian and other places, especially in Hejian. We did not hesitate to raise the price of grain but also rushed to buy grain, and after the silver that General Gao got was returned, I instructed the four seas to further raise the price. In addition to the public acquisition on the right path. We also secretly bribed the subordinate officials of Hejian County in private, and bought a large amount of grain from their official warehouses, which should be sufficient. ”

"What corrupt officials are really cheap!" Sun Xiao hated the authentic language. "That's a lot of money."

Listening to Sun Xiao's words, Cao Tiancheng and Jiang Jiaquan laughed loudly at the same time, watching them laugh happily, Sun Xiao couldn't help blinking his eyes, "What's so ridiculous about this, I think back then, when we couldn't eat, the most hated thing was corrupt officials, if there was such a guy in our Zhengdong Mansion, I would definitely raise my knife and snap him." ”

"Naturally, we won't produce such officials in Zhengdongfu, but for Hejian, there are more corrupt officials like this, the more the better!" Jiang Jiaquan laughed.

"What is this truth? There are many corrupt officials, but it is the common people who are unlucky. ”

"The common people are not unlucky, they are not wandering, how can we recruit enough dingkou?" Jiang Jiaquan smiled, and his tone became gloomy, "These days, I have checked the winter climate of Fufeng in previous dynasties, combined with some appearances of this year, this winter, I am afraid that it will be colder than in previous years, Fufeng is like this, how is Hejian County, which is adjacent to Fufeng?" When the time comes, the snow will be raging, the cold will be pressing, it will inevitably cause famine, and the government will need relief, and Hejian, when the time comes, you won't be able to get out the food, General Sun, what do you say? ”

Sun Xiao suddenly understood, "We have food, and those displaced people will inevitably flow to the place where there is food, and when the time comes, we will be able to recruit enough displaced people, dig them out of the river, and make them our people." ”

"Not bad. When the time comes, we only need to hint at it, and these displaced people will flock to it. So, General Sun, you have to prepare more houses, and you have enough fields to settle these displaced people, in a word, to make them feel that Jishi City is much better than their hometown, where there are warm and comfortable houses, farm tools, livestock, food that allows them to live, and an official government that can make them feel at ease, so that they will never want to go back to their hometown to be exploited by those corrupt officials, and settle down. ”

Sun Xiao looked at Jiang Jiaquan and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, "But in this way, before they arrive in Jishi City, I don't know how many people will starve to death and freeze to death?" ”

"Those who do big things can't be informal!" Jiang Jiaquan said coldly: "Our foundation is weak, the time is tight, and the step-by-step development is obviously not in line with our actual situation, and we can only adopt some extraordinary measures." ”

Sun Xiao nodded wordlessly, this is very effective, but it is also very dangerous, and it is completely a desperate plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle.

"Not only that, on the basis of these, a year ago, we also needed General Sun to organize an attack on the river, of course, under the banner of steppe horse bandits." Jiang Jiaquan walked to the map hanging on the wall behind him, "Attack the border counties of Hejian County, destroy their cities, and destroy their residences, but don't kill too many people, because we need people." When the time comes, when it is desolate and the hungry people are waiting to be fed, the people of the four seas will send out their horses and let out a rumor to lure them to Fufeng, and we will guide them to the city of stones. ”

"Got it!" Sun Xiao's body was cold, looking at Jiang Jiaquan's thin body, he said in his heart that scholars don't need knives to kill people, he really didn't say anything wrong, such two understatements, I don't know how many people will be killed, but in order to grow up the Fufeng Army at the fastest speed, it is not necessary to care about anything else.

"After I go back, I will do these things assigned by Changshi immediately, Changshi, have you reported these things to the general, and has he agreed?" Sun Xiao asked awkwardly.

"Confused!" Jiang Jiaquan glanced at Sun Xiao, "This kind of thing that hurts yin morality and also damages the general's reputation, naturally we make our own opinions, where does the general know?" If he leaks out one day, I will also come out to carry the burden and carry the black cauldron, General Sun, are you willing? ”

Sun Xiao gritted his teeth, "I'm naturally willing." ”

Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile: "If it's really this time, naturally I, a long history, will come out to accompany you." ”

Coming out of the side hall, Sun Xiao still felt cold and swishing in his vest, and he knew that when Jiang Jiaquan's strategy was successfully implemented, Hejian would inevitably be unlucky, and the people who fled the famine would definitely starve everywhere and be miserable.

"Let's go, come with me for a drink or two." Cao Tiancheng, who was beside him, glanced at Sun Xiao's face.

"No, I'd better hurry back to Jishi Mountain, the things that Changshi explained are more urgent than the other, how can I have the time to drink?" Sun Xiao shook his head.

"No matter how urgent it is, you still have to eat food."

"That's easy, just run on the horse!" Sun Xiaodao.

"How can that be done?" Cao Tiancheng pulled Sun Xiao, "The body is the capital of everything, if you do this, sooner or later you will be tired and have an accident, go, go to eat and drink first, and then take a good rest before setting off." Sharpen the knife and do not mistake the woodcutter. ”

Pulled by Cao Tiancheng, Sun Xiao reluctantly followed him to Cao Tiancheng's bedroom, and in a moment, the wine and food were ready, Cao Tiancheng lifted the wine pot and poured a glass for Sun Xiao, "In Jishi City, there is no chance to have a good drink, right?" ”

"How dare you drink?" Sun Xiao took it up and drank it all, "At first, I was trembling, but then I was so busy that my heels didn't touch the ground, and I didn't have time or mood to drink." ”

Cao Tiancheng smiled: "How is it, how is it?" ”

"Of course our Fufeng's wine is very good!" Sun Xiao thought that Cao Tiancheng was talking about the wine in the cup, "You have a good relationship with Wu Kai, so you can naturally get the best wine." ”

"I'm talking about our long history!" Cao Tiancheng smiled.

Hearing Cao Tiancheng mention Jiang Jiaquan, Sun Xiao's face couldn't help but froze, and after a while, he said: "This guy is too yin, such a strategy can only be thought of and done by those who are scholars, and we people will never be able to do it." ”

"Sun Xiao, I brought you over today, not just to drink, but also to have something to say to you. The general's power is getting bigger and bigger, and it is no longer the small fights that used to be, whether you are good or me, you can no longer be as unhindered in many things as before, and you must pay more attention to your words and deeds. Cao Tiancheng said.

"What do you mean by that?" Sun Xiao asked in confusion.

"After getting along with Lord Changshi in the past few months, I have learned a lot about him, this person is really talented and learned, where was Jiang in the past, but he couldn't show his strength, but now he has followed the general, and the general trusts him very much, and his talents can finally be displayed."

"Is that all this the trick?" Sun Xiao said in a low voice.

"Definitely. Do you know what he's doing now? Cao Tiancheng smiled, "What seems to us to be an incomparably complicated official business, in his hands, is simply a piece of cake, easily handled and handled perfectly, he now has a lot of time every day, just doing one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

"He's making the law for the general!" Cao Tiancheng Dao. (To be continued......)
