"You seem to be having a lot of fun lately?" Lu Lingqi helped Liu Yi put a stack of transcribed bamboo slips on the table, and wondered.

"There is money, there is food, and now that people are coming, do you think I should be happy?" Liu Yi put a letter from Zhuge Liang in his hand on the table and said with a smile.

Mother Deng handed over a bowl of sweet soup that had just been boiled to Liu Yi and Lu Lingqi respectively, and said curiously when she heard this: "Qian Liang and Concubine know it, but where did this person come from?" ”

At present, the business of Tiangongfang, even Jiangdong has begun to contact, Deng Mu knows, but the population problem has always been a hard wound in Mocheng, even if Liu Yi continues to advertise in various places, walk public opinion, and say how good this Mocheng is, it is a pure land in troubled times, but the effect is not much.

To tell the truth, life in Mocheng is really good, just an automatic water drawing mechanism makes people's lives much easier, and there are public bathhouses, and even people with status like Liu Yi, Lu Lingqi, and Wei Yue have separate bathhouses, which makes bathing much more convenient, maybe men don't think there's anything, but for women, it's too convenient.

But these things, you have to have someone to believe them, for Liu Yi, it is just a combination of mechanical techniques combined with some later generations to find out by himself, but for ordinary people, it is tantamount to a fantasy.

So Mother Deng was very puzzled by Liu Yi's words.

"Cao Jun has gone south!" Liu Yi said with a smile.

The thirteenth year of Jian'an was a turbulent year, especially after Liu Biao's death last month, Jingzhou's internal power struggle began, and the signs of instability in Jingzhou had begun.

Now that Cao Cao is going south, a large number of people in the north of Jingzhou have begun to flee to avoid the military disaster, and a big chaos in Jingzhou will be inevitable, which is not a good thing, but for Mocheng, it is a great thing.

A large number of refugees went south, Jingling is close to the Han River, and there is enough city defense system, in the case of a large number of county orders and Taishou unwilling to accept the displaced people, Liu Yi is a wide open door and takes the initiative to accept the displaced people, but in recent days, the number of people in the city has doubled.

The attribute of the return of all the people and the fact that Liu Yi has made preparations in advance will definitely make these displaced people return to their hearts quickly.

Cao Jun going south?

Mother Deng looked at Liu Yi suspiciously, nodded, did not speak, and did not understand.

"How is Wei Yue's conscription there?" Liu Yi didn't explain much, he had a letter sent by Zhuge Liang in his hand, hoping that Liu Yi would be able to receive some homeless people, now Liu Bei has been prepared in Fancheng, but the main force of the headquarters is still in Xinye ready to give Cao Cao a dismount, but Cao Cao has many generals after all, and it is impossible to defend Xinye, only by retreating to Fancheng and uniting Jingzhou troops can block Cao Cao, but Liu Bei, a homeless person along the way, does not want to be cheap Cao Cao, and is ready to take it away, but he knows that he has no ability to protect, so he hopes that Liu Yi can bring some boats, Bring some homeless people to Jiangxia.

Although it is said to be Jiangxia, in Liu Yi's opinion, it is his own, and Mocheng does not belong to Jiangxia.

"Recently, many of the newcomers are willing to join the army, and with the soldiers in my city, they have now made up enough schools." Although Lu Lingqi likes to be with Liu Yi during this time, she has not put down her training, and she will still stay in the school field every morning.

According to today's establishment, five people and one tithe, five tithes and one team, two teams and one tun, two tun and one song, two songs and one song, and a school is usually two parts that are 800 people, of course, there are also five parts and one school, but at the moment, one school refers to two parts that are 800 people.

"It's not enough, but there's no time to recruit any more, so let General Wei immediately order five hundred men and horses and hire another thousand boatmen!" Liu Yi smiled: "Let's pick people up!" ”

Liu Yi knew that this day would come, and he had already begun to prepare before, there were hundreds of sub-mother ships with organs installed on the side of the water village, although they were not as good as the warships in Jingzhou, which could accommodate two or three hundred people at most, but they were enough to accommodate about fifty people, and it was a relatively loose one.

He was ready, he didn't do anything these days, he went back and forth to pick up people, a hundred sub-mother ships, back and forth, it only took four or five trips to fill most of the population of Mocheng, of course, provided that the situation could give him so much time.

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, please recruit more women who can cook, maybe they will be used." Liu Yi looked at Deng Mudao again.

There's no way, there aren't many people he can use at hand now, so men and women don't care, it's good if they can help with things.

"Sir, don't worry, the concubine is awake." Mother Deng agreed with a smile.

Liu Yi stood up and said: "I'll go to Shuizhai to dispatch manpower first, Lingqi and go to pass on General Wei, five hundred soldiers, five people per boat is already a little thin, remember to choose the best." ”

"Hmm." Lu Lingqi nodded, glanced at the bamboo slip that Liu Yi put down, but didn't look at it, seeing Liu Yi leaving, she also left, now the relationship between the two is very close, and there is a corresponding tacit understanding, how to do many things, he has rules in his heart, Liu Yi is not the kind of man who blindly tolerates, he will have his own bottom line, when he can have a little temper, he will be used to it, when he is not used to it, this period of time, Lu Lingqi has also figured it out, and the tacit understanding is naturally born.

Liu Yi strode on the road, which direction to develop in the future, he actually hesitated after defecting to Cao Cao and provoking Cao Ren, and he didn't know the bottom in his heart.

Now he still doesn't know, but he knows how to go now, Mocheng is such a good attribute, naturally to develop more population, all the people return to the heart, the military and the people are united, and so on to a certain extent, the attributes that can affect people's hearts and thoughts are too beneficial for themselves, as long as he doesn't make too serious mistakes, this city will become his most solid backing, and in the future, he will send talents to all parties to expand his influence in the world, or he can enrich and strengthen himself through war, and he can advance and retreat freely.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang wrote to invite him to help transport the displaced people, in Liu Yi's view, it is an opportunity to strengthen himself, and this opportunity must not be missed, so Liu Yi did not hesitate to personally lead the team along the north of the river this time to accept the displaced people in Xinye and Fancheng.

That's more than 100,000 people, even if it is impossible to pick them all up, it is enough to make the currently empty Mocheng become rich and become his biggest reliance in this era.
