Peng Lize, Qiaojiawu Fort.

Liu Ye and Qiao Xuan continued the chess game that never ended the day before yesterday.

Liu Ye made a clever move, and Qiao Xuan had already taken the exam for a quarter of an hour, but he still hadn't thought of a way to deal with it.

Liu Ye waited for Qiao Xuanyingzi, and said casually: "Gong Qiao, I really let you say it, did the prince really make waves in Juchao Tuntian, the Lord Bo Yanxiang was assassinated, and the good situation fell into the brink of collapse. ”

Qiao Xuan said while thinking about countermeasures: "Since it is a blessing and a curse, then this is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"Isn't that necessarily a bad thing?" Liu Ye was surprised, "Gong Qiao doesn't think that Gongzi can save the situation, right?" ”

After speaking, Liu Ye threw the chess pieces in his hand into the chess basket, picked up the tea cup from the case and took a sip, and then said: "Please forgive the juniors for bluntly saying that the son is already powerless at this time, just like this chess game, it is already a dead chess." ”

Qiao Xuan subconsciously said while taking a long test: "Is this chess game really a dead game?" ”

Liu Ye glanced at the chessboard and said, "Could it be that Qiao Gong still has a good hand?" ”

Qiao Xuan twisted up a sunspot, but he didn't dare to land on the chessboard, and it seemed a little difficult to choose.

(Dividing Line)

Nest, Yuan is not in the line.

Jin Shang took two small officials and was calculating in groups.

The calculation chip consists of a bundle of hundreds of small wooden sticks, which can effectively perform four mixed operations.

This is the first time that Yuan Que has come into contact with calculations after crossing over, although Jin Shang and the two officials are proficient in using them, and the calculation speed is also extremely fast, but Yuan Que still found that the calculations are far less useful than the algebra and Arabic numerals of later generations, at this time, Yuan Que remembered that he should also record some of the mathematical knowledge in his memory, but now he really didn't have this mind.

Jin Shang took the two officials to calculate for half an hour, and finally came out with the result.

"Childe, the results are out." Jin Shang copied down the results, and then reported to Yuan Wei, "If the more than 100 hectares of paddy fields that have been built are sold at the price of one stone to three stones, and all of them are converted into grain, a total of 15,654 stone and six buckets of grain can be obtained, plus the grain stored by the government, there are 18,790 stone and four buckets of grain." ”

"Less than 20,000 stones?" When Yuan heard this, his brows tightened deeply.

Jin Shang sighed and said: "At present, there are more than 97,400 displaced people living in the nest, including more than 25,000 full-time laborers and more than 68,000 half-laborers. ”

"Half a month?" Yuan said worriedly, "Within half a month, can the second batch of fields be completed?" ”

"Childe, it's absolutely impossible." Jin Shangdao, "Even if everything goes well, it will take at least a month!" ”

Jin Shang didn't say a word, if something unexpected happens in the middle, he may not be able to finish the work in two months, and with the current situation of living in the nest, the possibility of a situation is very high.

Yuan Wei sighed and said, "In other words, no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to hold out until the second batch of fields is completed, right?" ”

Ji Ling stood beside him and said with some anger: "Son, according to the old minister's wishes, if you don't return the grain in the treasury to them, what will you do?" ”

Ji Ling was talking about the 100,000 stone grain that was currently stored in the treasury of the Juchao Mansion.

These 100,000 stone grain was pre-deposited in the treasury of the Juchao Mansion by the scholars of Lujiang and used as the capital to purchase the land, but now the scholars of Lujiang are clamoring to take this batch of grain back.

"Fuyi, what are you messing with?" Jin Shang glared at Ji Ling, and said to Yuan No, "Son, if we don't return the grain that the heroes of the various families in Lujiang have stored in the treasury, then our Yuan clan will immediately become the public enemy of Lujiang, then this Lujiang County, we are afraid that we will not be able to stay for even a moment, Liu Xun can't wait for us to become enemies with the heroes of the Lujiang clan." ”

Yuan said: "Yuan Xiugong and rest assured, a certain will not be so unwise." ”

There is an old saying in China, it is called that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and it is generally understood that this people's heart refers to the hearts of the people of Lishu.

But in fact, this understanding is not exact, because in ancient times when the people's wisdom was not opened, the people of Li Shu were very affected by the heroes of the Shi clan, so it is more accurate to say that the strong people of the Shi clan should win the world!

The strong and powerful of the Deshi clan win the world, this is not a lie.

Dong Zhuo is powerful, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is unparalleled in the world, but because he is cruel and unkind, he regards the Gyeonggi Shi clan as pigs and dogs, and often burns and kills and plunders the soldiers, but is attacked by the Gyeonggi Shi clan, and finally defeated and killed!

Before Yuan Shu became the emperor, he owned the six counties of Yangzhou and had 400,000 armor, which was the strongest prince in the world, but because he blatantly usurped the throne and became the emperor, so that he lost the heart of the Yangzhou scholars.

Although Cao Cao despised the family, he was extremely courteous to the small scholars below the middle level, and although Liu Bei was from a humble background, he was based on benevolence and righteousness everywhere, and thought about safeguarding the interests of the scholars everywhere, so in the end, the two finally became hegemons!

In view of this, Yuan Wei would never be stupid enough to be the enemy of all the scholars in Lujiang.

At that moment, Yuan Wei instructed Jin Shang and said: "Yuan Xiugong, the grain should be returned." ”

Jin Shang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Childe, there is a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

Yuan Wei lowered his head, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he said casually: "Yuan Xiugong has something to say, but please say it directly." ”

Jin Shang hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Childe, you have done enough for the Huainan refugees, this should not be our business, but should be Liu Xun's business, and now, we can't control the life and death of these homeless people, if the 18,000 stone grain obtained from the sale of the field is used as military food, plus the income from the military camp, it is enough to raise 5,000 soldiers." ”

Yuan Wei slowly raised his head, looked at Jin Shang, and said quietly: "What does Yuan Xiugong mean, let the 100,000 homeless people who gather in the nest fend for themselves?" ”

Jin Shang sighed and said helplessly: "Childe, the old minister knows that there is a dry heaven and harmony in doing this, but it is indeed helpless, we did our best." ”

Yuan Wei didn't say anything on the spot, and said quietly: "Yuan Xiugong, and let someone think twice." ”

Sending Jin Shang and the two officials away, Yuan Wei took Ji Ling to Juchao Nanguan, and a team of armor soldiers followed from afar.

Standing on the enemy tower and looking down condescendingly, you can just take in the view of the camp outside Nanguan, at this time it is already dusk, the camp has returned to their respective huts after receiving rations, and the camp has become extremely lively after being silent all day.

The homeless people have been tired all day, but they rarely have a leisurely time, and while the sky is not yet dark, they are weaving some baskets, dustpans and other agricultural tools to be sold in the market the next day, in exchange for a few money to supplement the family, the old people sit together and chat, and the children run back and forth around the adults, cheering, and bursts of laughter and laughter are heard from time to time in the evening breeze.

The night is peaceful, and it looks like a large, laid-back village.

But only Yuan knew that this large village was facing a huge crisis.

If Yuan decides to abandon Tuntian, then the 100,000 displaced people outside the city will be lost immediately, if they don't want to starve to death here, they can only drag their families and families, help the old and the young, and embark on the road to the distance, and in the end, most of them will fall helplessly on the way to escape, turning into white bones.

Among them, only a very lucky few will survive.

Yuan Fu couldn't help recalling that on the way south to the Lujiang River, the white bones lying on the side of the road, they were all fresh lives, they should have sat together and enjoyed dinner and happy time, but because of the war, their family was ruined, their wives were separated, and finally turned into a white skeleton on the way to escape......

Before he knew it, Yuan Wei had burst into tears.

In essence, Yuan Nuo is still a modern person, and he can't be so indifferent and ruthless.

If he hadn't met this group of homeless people, it would be nothing, but now that this group of homeless people has arrived at the nest and taken refuge under his wings, let Yuan Wei personally send them to a dead end, and then watch them turn into white bones on the way to escape, Yuan Wei really can't do it, what is the difference between this and killing these homeless people with his own hands?

At this moment, Yuan Wei finally had a choice.
