Chapter 275: The dove occupies the magpie's nest
Pan Feng took his Jaguar battalion to replace the tired villager Yong and took over the defense of the county, and Xi Zhen Zhang Yan and Yang Feng took their tiger and wolf hunting wolf and flying bear battalion and began to camp in the city.
This time, there are serious deaths in the city, and there are countless vacant houses, but I will not worry about the soldiers disturbing the people! By the way, he also repaired the dilapidated houses, and when the army was gone, it would be returned to the people.
As soon as the troops were settled, the army began to buy firewood, grass, vegetables and vegetables from the people of these cities. Of course, there is nothing harsh at this time, and wild vegetables are also made.
As soon as the news came out, all the refugees and villagers in the city immediately rushed out of the city, cut firewood and grass around the county, and then sold it to the army, and the people got the first income.
However, when these people sold firewood, grass and vegetables to the barracks, they carried heavy copper coins in their hands, and after rejoicing, they were also at a loss, because the siege of the city had been long and the supplies in the county had long been exhausted, and now they were dragging copper coins but could not buy anything.
In the county office, Wang Zhe sat in the main seat, Lu Teng sat in the guest seat, and after several people greeted each other in accordance with the rules again, Wang Zhe first said a word of gratitude, and then said with some embarrassment: "Just now the general gave the people of the county town a thousand yuan, we have run out of materials here, this copper coin is really useless, I implore the general to distribute food and clothing to the people at this price." ”
Lu Peng smiled slightly, shook his hand and said: "My military grain transportation, because I don't recruit people, so the number is limited, so I can only give you a bunch of grain, and first solve the temporary food and clothing of the people and the villagers." ”
Wang Zhe was a little disappointed and anxious, after the war, not to mention reconstruction, even for the people to recover, countless materials were needed, and without a large number of materials entering, everything would be difficult.
Seeing Wang Zhe's disappointed look, Lu Peng smiled and comforted: "But it doesn't matter, as long as everyone has copper coins in hand, the materials will arrive in a blink of an eye." ”
Looking at the puzzled Wang Zhe, Tian Feng explained with a smile: "Now that Luxian County has developed commerce, businessmen from all over the country, such as carp crossing the river, and the big families are also doing business, as long as there is news of making money, those businessmen will pounce like flies, at the latest it is the day after tomorrow, as long as you have copper money in hand, even if you want to buy the stars in the sky, there will definitely be businessmen to pick them off for you, in this way, are you still worried about the lack of materials?" Then he proudly told Wang Zhe: "When we gain a firm foothold here and clear up the dangers along the way, our military grain and grass will also be supplied by merchants." ”
Wang Zhe suddenly realized that he was not a nerd, he had been operating in Pinggu for many years, he was also familiar with things, and he also knew the energy of businessmen, but he was still puzzled: "This is the front line of war, are businessmen willing to come?" ”
Lu Peng straightened his chest and said proudly: "Wherever the footsteps of my Lu family army go, the businessmen behind me dare to follow them, I am the guarantee of their safety, and the Lu family army is the city wall of their safety." ”
While Wang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt the difference in Lu Peng's words, as the captain of Youzhou of the Han Dynasty, he kept claiming that his army was not an officer and soldier, but it was the Lu family army, which has a deep meaning here.
But this is not the time to pursue these details, even if he wants to investigate what Lu Peng has in mind, he doesn't have the ability, so he changes the topic.
"What did the general do with his men and horses this time?" That's knowingly asking.
Lu Peng said calmly: "I am ordered by Lord Zhou Mu to lead my Lu family army to the north, join Lord Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, and attack Yuyang." ”
"How many men did the general bring?"
"5,000 soldiers in battle." Then the conversation changed: "But in order to protect the safety of the logistics supply line, I have recruited another 5,000 soldiers, and I am ready to use Pinggu as my logistics transit base, is Lord Wang accommodating?" ”
Wang Zhe was stunned for a moment, but in a blink of an eye, he understood Lu Peng's thoughts, this is the first step of the dove to occupy the magpie's nest. ”
However, Wang Zhe also understood that Lu Peng's ambition was not small, but he did not exploit the people and used the people's power indiscriminately, and there were all kinds of means in government affairs.
And seeing that Lu Peng had just entered the city with a large army, the army was clean and disciplined, and none of them plundered the people and bullied women and children, and his heart was a little peaceful, and the materials and grass needed could also be bought and sold fairly, which shows that this army is different from other armies.
Since he had this thought, Wang Zhe also replied very honorably: "When the army goes out, grain and grass come first, and the grain and grass material transfer station is placed in Pinggu, which can also bring some livelihood to the people of Pinggu." ”
Lu Peng had to move forward inch by inch, and asked again: "Guixian Township is tired from fighting for a long time, can they be disbanded and return to their hometown?" ”
This is depriving yourself of your military power, your Lu Peng's appearance is too greedy, and he slanders in his heart, since he has made a decision just now, there is no need to argue about it. Wang Zhe said happily: "These townsmen are really tired of fighting for a long time, and now that the general's army is coming, there is no matter for them, not to mention that the fields outside the city are barren due to the war, and no one cultivates, although it is now summer, but they are planting some summer grain buckwheat, and when it comes to autumn, there will be some harvest, just disband them and go back to farming." ”
For Wang Zhe's cooperation, Lu Peng was happy in his heart, so he generously shot again: "If this is the case, Xiangyong will return to his own business, but I see that they have no long things, so it is better to distribute two thousand yuan to each of them, so that they can buy seeds and farm tools and settle down as soon as possible." Then he recommended with a smile: "The iron farming tools I use in the Savage Valley are very easy to use, and they are inexpensive, dear." ”
When Wang Zhe heard this, of course he was happy, he felt infinitely relieved that he could get such a reward for these villagers, and then he arched his hand to Lu Peng and said: "I took the people and stayed in the lonely city for more than a year, and I was already physically and mentally exhausted. ”
This is exactly what Lu Peng couldn't ask for, so he asked curtly: "My lord, where do you plan to go?" ”
I was a little anxious to ask this, and to Wang Zhe's ears, it was a bit of a flirtatious taste. Wang Zhe couldn't help but look gloomy, but when he thought that he would hand over Pinggu no matter what, he was suddenly in a mood, but after all, this is a place where he has fought, and hundreds of people have followed him to protect, he can't watch others spoil it, and he has to watch whatever he says, if Lu Peng is not authentic, then he can't say it, he has to stand up, and he has to deal with him if he has to give up his old life.
So he said with a resolute face: "Although I am tired, as long as I will raise it for a while, I am the parent official of this after all, so I can't give up this father." As he spoke, he stared at Lu Peng with his eyes.
