Chapter 240: A New Situation in Merging States
Look back at the state......
No matter what Yuan Shao's conspiracy was, and no matter how Wang Chen would react, Lu Bu's mind was condensed on his daughter Lu Qiling. [Ran^Text^Library] [].v.om
After bidding farewell to Jia Xu and Xun Yu, and letting the two of them deal with Gao Jing's affairs as appropriate, Lu Bu couldn't wait to come to his backyard.
"Mother...... What did you say? Daddy is here? The young Lu Qiling was teasing the big fish that Diao Xiu'er bought, and suddenly heard Diao Xiu'er say that Lu Bu was coming, and suddenly jumped three feet high, and asked in disbelief.
"yes, Daddy is here!" Lu Bu happened to see Lu Qiling with a look of disbelief on her face, and couldn't help but speak.
"Daddy!"
Seeing Lu Bu from afar, Lu Qiling couldn't wait to run up.
There is no stubborn appearance in the past, tears are still falling while running, counting this year, Lu Bu has only been with Lu Qiling for more than ten days, and Lu Qiling's love for this biological father can be imagined.
Bang, I fell, I got up and continued to run, bang, I fell again, I got up and ran again, seeing this situation, Lu Bu couldn't help it, and walked up quickly, every time Lu Qiling fell down once, his heart was raised, and he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.
Finally, Lu Bu hugged Lu Qiling tightly, did not speak, only heard Lu Qiling's crying.
Diao Xiuer and Cai Yan, who were on the side, also had moist eyes.
After a while, Lu Qiling pursed her lips and finally spoke: "Daddy, I thought you didn't want Ling'er?" ”
"Daddy just doesn't want the world and won't want you, okay, let Daddy take a good look?" Lu Bu comforted in a harmonious voice. Both hands caressed back and forth on Lu Qiling's little face, and An Xin couldn't speak.
"Ling'er has become more beautiful...... He must be the most beautiful person in the world in the future! Lu Bu smiled and said lightly.
"It's just a trip, and Daddy will coax people? Let's tell my mother about this! Of course, the aunt of the Cai family is also a big beauty, and it doesn't hurt for his father to tell him! Lu Qiling snorted and said angrily, but in the end, her little face was already smiling.
"You little girl......" Lu Bu glanced at Cai Yan, who was blushing embarrassedly, and pointed at the tip of Lu Qiling's nose, his tone was still full of love.
"Daddy promised me a lot of gifts, why haven't I seen any of them now?" Lu Qiling resumed her identity as a little witch and began to show her teeth and claws at Lu Bu.
"I bought you a truckload of good things, but I haven't entered the city yet, and Daddy has been on the road for three days to see you sooner...... You'll have to wait a few days for your toy! Lu Bu laughed and hugged Lu Qiling a few times.
"Xianggong, why don't you go and rest for a while?" Diao Xiu'er originally looked at Lu Bu's father and daughter with a smile on her face, but when she heard that Lu Bu had been on the road for three days, she hurriedly said out loud.
"Cut, I know that my mother will be partial to your stinky father......" Lu Qiling muttered and complained, but she obediently rushed out of Lu Bu's arms.
"You girl, aren't you begging for a beating?" Diao Xiu'er stared, pretending to threaten fiercely.
"Lu Feng takes care of your mother-in-law first...... I'm going to die......" Lu Qiling shouted, grimacing.
“……”
Lu Bu glanced at Diao Xiu'er a little helplessly......
This little girl really doesn't hold her mouth...... I'm completely spoiled, and I really don't know if I'll get married or not.
"You guys are here, I'll rest first......" Lu Bu really didn't have much deterrent power against this daughter, so he had to evacuate first.
"You can rest for a day today, and tomorrow you will clean up the mess of Jinyang." This was the last thought that flashed through Lu Bu before he went to bed.
When night fell, Lu Bu also woke up, had a simple dinner with Diao Xiu'er, tasted her fish soup, and got rid of Lu Qiling's entanglement.
"What if...... Let's talk about the current situation of the merger state...... "Lu Bu got rid of his daughter's entanglement, and then summoned Jia Xu and Xun Yu, ready to learn about the situation of the merge after leaving.
"Now there are still 800 million ......yuan in the treasury," Xun Yu said, slightly stunned.
"800 million is a lot?" Lu Bu said with some doubts.
"There can be 800 million yuan in the treasury of a state, which is really abundant...... But if the lord knew how much he had spent in the previous three months, I am afraid he would not be so optimistic......"
"It cost two billion dollars to pay for the fallen soldiers...... The wounded, 1.4 billion ...... Survive and reward 900 million...... The telephone fee of the craftsman camp outside Jinyang City is 500 million...... Food rations have also been distributed to nearly one million people, and 600,000 displaced people have been resettled...... and the soldiers who are about to return to the city next...... I'm afraid 800 million dollars is not even a fraction of it......"
"The land of a state is even higher than the cost of the Great Han Kingdom, and the lord ......"
Xun Yu's face was full of bitterness, no matter how skilled he was in government affairs, he couldn't make money out of thin air, and it was difficult for a clever woman to describe Xun Yu at the moment without rice.
"My lord, although the situation is difficult, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to get through it. And now that the autumn harvest is imminent, the most important job is to prevent the ...... of alien races in the north," Xun Yu had just finished speaking, and Jia Xu said.
Internal matters are easy to solve, but at the time of the autumn harvest every year, the raids of Xianbei and the Xiongnu are the most urgent major matters at the moment.
"Will Xianbei go south this year?"
In the battle of Bingzhou, Xianbei suffered 200,000 casualties, and it should not be able to go south this year...... Lu Bu had already subconsciously ignored this year's Xianbei threat.
"Although Xianbei has suffered heavy losses...... But there will only be more looting than before...... After all, under this war, there are more small Xianbei tribes who can't survive, and if they don't go south, they won't be able to survive at all...... The main attack is still not careless, and small groups are often more difficult to deal with than large groups of men. Jia Xu poured a basin of cold water on Lu Bu's head.
"Food shouldn't be a problem now...... After the autumn harvest, there will be a surplus, and there is no need to worry about military rations, but how to defend the north is a problem......" Thinking of Xianbei Koubian, Lu Bu was depressed again.
"The lord can rest assured, as long as you hold the Great Wall, Xianbei will not become a big disaster, but the city north of the Great Wall will suffer another blow, but since the last war of merging states, there are almost no civilians north of the Great Wall, and there will be no harm, no matter how difficult the future is, as long as we grit our teeth, we will always survive." Much of the land in the state is now barren. Therefore, the first thing we need to do now is to resettle the displaced people and distribute the land, so that we can wait for the support of more people, and we will be better able to act. Xun Yu had no choice but to comfort Lu Bu.
"There are only two million people in the state today...... There is still a big gap from the heyday, and the displaced people in Jizhou and Sili can be vigorously absorbed...... As long as the lord can provide them with a ration after the autumn harvest, the next year's merge will probably be a prosperous place......" Jia Xu said gloomily.
How many displaced people are there in the original at the moment? I'm afraid no one can count it...... If we can win the hearts and minds of the people, it will not be difficult to add a population of 1.8 million under our command.
