The matter is getting big now, and the people who know that they have caused a big disaster are suddenly dumbfounded!

The timid set off to return to his hometown overnight, and he couldn't care about asking for wages.

Those who are thoughtful will stay and wait and see, see what will happen to the compatriots who return to their hometowns in advance, see if the government will pursue it, and then decide whether to go or stay next?

At this time, Fang Li stood up again, and said with guilt: "Everyone, Fang Li originally wanted to help you, lest your sweat be in vain, but who knew that it was used by someone with a heart to spread false rumors, causing everyone to be homeless......"

The people of all countries stood up and down the city walls, quietly listening to Fang Li's speech, and did not have any hatred for this benevolent and humble general. People are originally well-intentioned, so what's wrong?

Isn't that so? The simple people thought so in their hearts.

"Since it was Fang Li who caused you to have a home, I must be responsible to the end. If everyone is willing to stay, we will pay tribute to the imperial court, distribute food and farm tools according to the population, and provide free use of cattle and land. The imperial court will provide you with supplies to help you repair your houses, and you will be exempted from paying taxes for ten years. ”

After listening to Fang Li's words, some poor people who had a holiday with the government or offended the gentry decided not to go back, so as not to be framed and imprisoned, and at least there was a way to live if they stayed!

"Is this true?"

Fang Li stood on the pass, let the autumn wind blow the robe hunting, patted his chest and said: "I will not break my word in front of the soldiers with a guarantee of the head of the army!" ”

"In that case, we won't go back, lest we be framed by the government and the squire!"

Under Fang Li's bewitchment, nearly 10,000 people from Liang and Yu planned to stay and settle.

In order to dig for gold, almost all of these people went into battle, young and old, and most of the family members were surrounded by four walls and did not have much to worry about.

But more people are still in a wait-and-see state, anxiously waiting for news around Chiyang Pass, to see what will happen to those fellow villagers who go home early?

The news soon came, and Feng Xi, the Taishou of Liang County, was furious, and put more than 5,000 people who returned to China in prison in one go, and cut off the heads of more than 100 people, saying that they were bewitching the people to surrender, and all the rest were sent to the north to build the Great Wall.

Those who have not yet set off, or who are already on the road, were suddenly dumbfounded, the world is so big, there is nowhere to go, but to help the old and the young, and return to Fang Li.

"I have nowhere to go, I am willing to serve General Fang, please take it in!"

In the autumn wind, more than 50,000 homeless Liang people surrendered to Fang Li and asked to take them in.

Corporal Fang Lixian personally helped some of the old men up, and said with tears in his eyes: "Rest assured, everyone, with Fang Li, there will definitely be no shortage of food and drink for you!" ”

The people of the country of Qiu were not much better, and more than 3,000 people who returned home early were also punished.

However, because the state of Yu is still in an alliance with the state of Yu, the punishment is not as severe as that of the state of Liang, most of them are taxes that have been doubled for five consecutive years, and the elite go to the border to serve half a year of forced labor.

Even if the punishment is so light, there are still nearly 10,000 people in the Kingdom of Yu who choose to stay, rely on Fang Li, enjoy the subsidies provided by the State of Yu, and wait for the next few years to pass the limelight before making other plans.

The prime minister of the Jin State, Chong'er, was the first to see through Fang Li's tricks, and quickly rushed to the border to recruit the people, so that they could return to China quickly, and they would not be blamed for the past.

There were not many Jin people who came to Wangwushan to dig for gold, there were about 10,000 people in total, and the two countries had been fighting for many years, and they had deep grievances. Fang Li was also afraid that there would be spies among them, since they were leaving, they were not reluctant, and they were allowed to go.

As for the gold diggers from Qin and Zhao, they came from afar, there were not many, and they didn't have much impact, but when they saw that the situation was not good, they quietly slipped back to their hometowns, and Fang Li didn't ask for extravagance.

Originally, there were only more than 10,000 local residents and five or six thousand defenders in Chiyang Pass, but the population increased by nearly 80,000 at once, and it was suddenly overcrowded, resulting in no longer being able to live in the pass.

Fang Li ordered a large number of tents to be allocated for the people to live temporarily outside the city, and at the same time opened the granaries to help the people. After pacifying the people, he quickly returned to Pinglu and asked Yu Xianggong and Baili Xi for food and materials to settle the people.

When the morning sun rose, Fang Li looked at the pass in the company of Zhang Liao, Liyi, and Zhu Rong, and saw that the people were full of people, crowded with people, and it was very lively.

Fang Li touched the wall battlements with his hand and shouted loudly: "In the troubled times, the eldest husband should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements, instead of being a farmer who is buried in the plough and is unknown." If there are people who are willing to join the army, the military salary will be doubled, and the family will be taken care of! ”

After a pause, he added: "Of course, if you really don't want to join the army, you can continue to be your farmer and build the city wall for me, and the promised subsidies and remuneration are a lot!" ”

The crowd was boiling, and many men who had difficulty returning home simply turned their hearts to the army and signed up for the army. Fight for fame in troubled times, earn some military salaries, and support your family.

In one day, dozens of conscription offices recruited more than 8,000 able-bodied soldiers, and another 13,000 people were unwilling to join the army, and were only willing to serve as peasants to serve the Yu State, but they had to be paid.

Fang Li and the three generals under his command smiled from ear to ear, agreed one by one, and led hundreds of cronies to work overnight, registering and compiling a team.

Fang Li ordered Zhang Liao, Lu Yi, and Zhu Rong to be promoted to lieutenants, each commanding 3,000 people, and officially practicing from tomorrow. As for the lack of armor and weapons, I will ask the court for it and try to solve it.

In just a few days, Chiyang Pass has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the deputy general Yan Ti was dumbfounded, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Fang Li's slight trick added 80,000 to the population of the Yu State, while the entire Yu State only had a population of 600,000 people.

In terms of merit, Fang Li only took more than ten days to complete the ten-year exploits of Bailishi, Yan Ti, Du Xi and others, so that Yan Ti had to accept it, and he couldn't disobey it!

The Liang State lost one-tenth of its people at once, the government and the opposition were shocked, and the monarch Liang Weihou was furious and ordered the beheading of Feng Xi, the Taishou of the Great Liang County, to correct the national law.

Although Feng Xi is dead, the people of the stray arrow are irretrievable, and the monarchs and ministers of Liang State can only look at Wang Wushan and sigh, hating the guy called Fang Li!

The autumn breeze is bleak and the weather is gradually getting cooler.

Seeing his subordinates gradually become stronger, the strength of Chiyang Pass skyrocketed from 2,000 to 10,000 in just half a month, Fang Li was in a good mood, and suddenly felt that conquering the world was no longer a distant dream.

After dark, Fang Li set up a banquet to celebrate his achievements, and Yan Ti, Zhang Liao, Liyi, Zhu Rong and others all came to the meeting, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank heartily.

When the wine feast was about to disperse, Fang Li said to everyone: "The people are almost settled, and the team has expanded. Early tomorrow morning, I will set off for Pinglu to ask the lord and Xiangbang for supplies, armor, and weapons. ”

"Whoa!"

The generals clenched their fists in unison and dispersed.

Fang Li was lying on the bed, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the bed, and the system prompt sound in his mind sounded: "Congratulations to the lord for gathering 80,000 people for the Yu country and winning the reward of 80 merit points." Congratulations to the Lord for recruiting 5,000 elite soldiers and receiving a reward of 50 merit points. ”

"The lord has completed military and political tasks excellently, greatly improved the national strength of Yu State, and obtained 3 dominance bonuses, 3 intelligence bonuses, and 3 internal affairs bonuses. The current four-dimensional changes are as follows: Fang Li - Domination 78, Wu Yong 84, Strategy 85, Internal Affairs 68."
