"Lord!"

"Sit, sit, sit!" Gongsun Du looked at Wei You, who was in the dust, and felt apologetic in his heart, poured a cup of hot water himself, and said, "Are you tired all the way?" Drink saliva first to quench your thirst! ”

"Thank you, lord!" Wei You hurriedly got up and took the teacup, not to mention, he was really a little thirsty, so he took a sip, and found that the temperature was just right, so he said again, "The master is bothered." ”

Gongsun Du waved his hand, returned to his desk and sat down.

After Wei You sat down, he first wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then said: "Lord, Fan Khan and Wu Wei have completely stabilized at present, and every household has already planted food, and from the many visits of his subordinates, everyone is quite satisfied with the current life, the only bad point is that last winter was too cold, and the winter was too long." ”

"Hahaha, that's good!" For the problem that the winter is too cold and too long, Gongsun Du doesn't care. After all, this is the power of heaven and earth, and it is beyond his ability to change it, and besides, I believe that after a few years, he will gradually get used to it.

"Haha!" Wei You also laughed, probably thinking of this as well.

Er.

The laughter stopped.

"My lord, my subordinates have a little idea about Lelang and the two counties of Obifang." Wei You restrained his smile and said slowly.

Gongsun Du was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Well, if there is any suggestion, it is not necessary to be like this."

Wei You smiled faintly, didn't answer the words, just said: "The subordinates think that Lelang Belt Fang is the land of the imperial court, but in recent years, the imperial court has been too busy to take care of itself and let it go, and now the lord wants to manage it for the imperial court, and he only needs to bring a small number of soldiers and horses, and he can receive it in the name of General Duliao." ”

When Gongsun Du heard this, his face was thoughtful: "You mean, first temporarily take them under your command in name, and then ...... them after solving the affairs of Xianbei, Buyeo and Goguryeo and other foreign races."

Wei You nodded and said, "That's right! The subordinates inquired this time that the eighteen cities of Lelang had long been deprived of the officials of the imperial court, and even seven cities had basically been inhabited by the people, and only eleven cities still had many people, but they were all southern. Of the eleven cities, only a few of the county's famous elders maintained the city's defenses, and the others were ignored. Therefore, if the lord intervenes rashly at this time, it will definitely cause a backlash, and if a large number of troops are involved, I am afraid that the Xianbei and other clans will know about it, and they will gather troops to attack, and they will fall into a dilemma at that time. ”

Gongsun Du was silent for a long time, although he also felt that it was really reasonable, but in the end he shook his head and said, "Judging from the current situation, this is indeed the best way." But no one can say what the situation of the Xianbei and other tribes is, but what we can clearly know is that with our current strength and the number of cities, it is difficult to compete with the Xianbei and other tribes at the same time, and only by expanding the territory and increasing the population can we have any hope of winning. ”

Wei You frowned when he heard this, although this was the most serious situation, no one dared to say that such a situation would not occur. Even if there is only the slightest possibility, you can't gamble with the lives of two million people.

"But the lack of troops is also a reality." Gongsun Du pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to take down the seven cities that have almost no people first, and use them to settle the new people this year, and as for the other eleven cities, they will only be nominally returned to the imperial court for the time being." In this way, it can also be regarded as a temptation to them, and if they have no objection, then wait until next year, or the year after, when there are enough troops, to take them. What does Qingping think? ”

Wei You was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "This is indeed the best policy, the lord is thoughtful, and his subordinates admire it." ”

Gongsun Du waved his hand and said, "Where is it, most of the credit here is yours." If you hadn't spent the rest of your month trying to understand this, you wouldn't have been able to make the right decision. ”

Wei You nodded and said, "In this case, Xi'an Ping can directly take it down." ”

"That's right." Gongsun Du thought about it and felt that there was only one Xi'an Ping left in Liaodong that had not been taken, and now it was time.

After a pause, he said: "Since Qingping is back, the affairs of the county will be handed over to you for the time being, and if you have something to do, you will go to the Liao team for at least seven or eight days." ”

"Lord, you can't just come back from your subordinates, so you can throw everything to your subordinates, and you have to rest and rest, don't you?" Wei You joked.

"Okay, then let you sleep for half an hour every day and have a good rest." Gongsun Du also replied jokingly.

"Haha, then the subordinates will thank the lord!"

Wei You smiled and asked, "I don't know why the lord is going?" ”

Gongsun Du thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide this matter from anyone, anyway, everyone would know when the time came, so he replied: "At present, the population of Liaodong is surging, but the grain output is not growing significantly, so in order for everyone to have a bite to eat, a certain plan is to let Cheng Pu take people to the sea." ”

Wei Yu pointed out: "What does the lord mean? Gongsun Du had also mentioned it before, and at that time he was very upset and asked why he didn't get it back now, but Gongsun Du told him that the battleship was not enough to travel far.

Then his eyes lit up and he said, "Is it okay now?" ”

Gongsun Du nodded and shook his head again.

Wei You didn't understand what this meant, but fortunately, Gongsun Du immediately explained-

"It's not certain for the time being, but the Liao team has heard the news that the battleship has been built and is ready to be launched."

"Really?" Wei You didn't wait for Gongsun Du to reply, and said hurriedly, "Lord, can your subordinates follow and take a look?" The subordinates also want to see what kind of warship they need to have the things that the lord said they could bring back from overseas thousands of miles away! ”

Gongsun Du hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, it just so happens that there is not much to do now, let's go together." ”

"Yes. Thank you, Lord. ”

Wei You seemed to be worried that Gongsun Du would regret it, so after speaking, he hurriedly saluted and withdrew: "Then the subordinate will go back and pack his luggage first." ”

Seeing this, Gongsun Du didn't say anything, but asked Huang Qing, who was curious on the side, "Is there any news from Commander Cheng Pu?" ”

Huang Qing wrinkled her nose and said unhappily: "Judging from the previous situation, it will take at least a month and a half for Commander Cheng Pu to go to Donglai this time, and there are about ten days left, how can there be news so soon!" ”

When Gongsun Du heard this, he secretly called it a mistake, and regretted that he should not have let Cheng Pu go to Donglai to transport the people so early.

But I also thought about it in my heart, Gongsun Du would not say it, after all, whether it is population or food, it is a matter that needs to be solved urgently.

"It's okay, then let a certain go and see it first, and then try it out for a while, and it is estimated that he should come back by then."

Skipping this stubble, Gongsun Du chatted about family life: "Has your brother Huang Xu been getting better recently?" ”

Speaking of his little brother, Huang Qing was obviously happy, and said: "Thank you for your concern, Huang Xu's kid has been much better recently, and the five poultry drama has been able to be completely practiced." Then he said embarrassedly: "It's just that a lot of precious medicinal materials are used, and it costs a lot." ”

Gongsun Du waved his hand and said, "Don't say that, I said that I would bear all the cost of your brother's medicinal materials, do you want someone to be a person who doesn't keep his promises?" ”

Huang Qing didn't mean this, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

Gongsun Du didn't give her a chance to speak, and said: "Okay, I see that you are in a hurry, so and so is it, just don't mention the matter of medicinal materials." ”

"Besides, I just wanted Han Sheng to help a certain hand, but now it seems that I am buying one and getting two free, which is considered to be a big profit."

Huang Qing understood what she meant, but there was always a feeling that she and Huang Xu had been bought, and her face couldn't help blushing. He quietly glanced at Gongsun Du's side face again, and happened to bump into Gongsun Du's gaze, and his heart jumped with fright.

Gongsun Du realized that he was suspected of being a hooligan, coughed lightly, and said, "Ahem, you also go and inform everyone to pack your luggage, leave early tomorrow morning, go early and return early." ”

Everyone, they are talking about the pro-soldier team.

"Yes, my lord." Huang Qing ran out in response and didn't set foot in the study again for a long time.
