Liu Cun walked through the corpse-strewn battlefield, and wanted to stop and say a few words to the brothers who were cleaning the battlefield, but when he saw the chiefs of Shi Changtun numbly "relieving the pain" of the wounded soldiers who could not be treated, he had to turn around and return to the camp in a reluctant way.

Cheng Bing and Cang Ci immediately congratulated loudly when they saw Liu Cun, and their admiration overflowed, Liu Cun humbly put the credit on Wang Qi and all the soldiers, and then went to the village to find Xu He and Sima Ju, who led the troops to surrender, and closed the door and talked for an hour, and finally let Xu He and Sima Ju put aside their worries and sincerely attached.

Liu Cun then visited the injured Yellow Turban Brother with Xu and the two of them, and it was not until the evening that they had the opportunity to take a hot bath and change into a clean military uniform.

As soon as he sat down in the big tent, the officers handed over the statistical forms one after another, and Liu Cun gave instructions on the forms while looking at them, and did not forget to chat with Cheng Bing and Cangci, who were in high excitement.

After finishing the affairs at hand, it was already nightfall, the guards served a steaming meal, Liu Cun learned that Wang Qi and other generals had had dinner and were inspecting the various departments to appease the surrendered Yellow Turban brothers, so he was relieved to enjoy the belated dinner with Cheng Bing and the two.

"This battle was fought easily, but the two warring sides still killed more than 5,840 people, and the wounded were as high as 10,000 people, nearly half of whom were estimated to be difficult to save their lives, and the losses were very large!"

Liu put down his rice bowl and reported the statistics to Cang Ci and Cheng Bing: "Except for a small number of stubborn Yellow Turban soldiers who escaped, the number of intact prisoners is more than 16,200 people, if you count the minor injuries, it is equivalent to more than 20,000 mouths waiting for us to eat, if you add the thousands of Yellow Turban prisoners who are still locked up in Fei County, it is almost more than 30,000." What's the solution? ”

Cang Ci and Cheng Bing looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Cang Ci replied stubbornly: "No matter how you deal with it, you can't be dismissed, otherwise it will be a hidden danger, Brother Fool and Deshu have weighed it for a long time, and they can only take Zijian's resettlement method, but the ration kingdom can barely supply it for a month or two, and it can't stand it for a long time!" ”

Cheng Bing suggested: "Otherwise, how about the virtuous brother be placed on the spot?" Anyway, this place is yours to recover, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks. ”

Liu Cun shook his head: "Why don't you want to think about it, if you place the Yellow Turban captives here, can the aborigines who have returned one after another agree?" The captured Yellow Turban soldiers have probably done a lot of misdeeds in this land! ”

"Oops! How did I forget this, but I am still a good brother! Cheng Bing regretted his negligence.

Cang Ci asked, "Where does Zijian think it's better to place it?" ”

"Xihai (today's western suburbs)!"

Liu Cun explained: "Xihai is located between Langya County and Wangcheng, the former dynasty called Haiqu County, the early days of this dynasty changed to Xihai County, has always been my Langya Kingdom territory, after frequent wind disasters and huge waves attack, only slowly declined, to three years ago after the hurricane completely slackened, now the whole territory of the West Sea is only seven townships, more than 20,000 people settled, a large area of fertile land abandoned, abundant water has not been used, the fish and shrimp in the sea are not fished, so I think, why not set up Xihai County again?" ”

"Take advantage of the spring ploughing season, as soon as possible to reclaim and sow seeds, as long as you survive the first four months, everything will be easy to do in the future, in these four months, in addition to farming, you can also fish to replace part of the grain, you can also build salt pans to produce sea salt, even if you settle 200,000 people is not a problem! Where to find such a nice place? ”

Cangci suddenly realized: "It's really a good place!" Placing the Yellow Turban pawns in the West Sea can achieve the effect of once and for all, with Wangcheng to the south, Ju County and Yangdu to the west, and Langya County under the rule of Zijian to the north! There is no need to worry about the rebellion of tens of thousands of yellow turban soldiers, and to avoid conflicts with the local aborigines, and to rely on the sea to eat the sea. ”

"That's true, the restoration of the territories that originally belonged to the kingdom does not require the approval of the imperial court, but if Xihai County is reset, the initial investment of financial resources is quite a lot! Zijian, I'm afraid the monarch won't be able to come up with this money now. Cheng Bing reminded in a low voice.

Liu Cun smiled bitterly: "I'll come out, just send a tax official in a year, alas!" Now I don't know what's going on in this world, the best Jinhua porcelain bottle 'Langya Tribute Wine' in the liquor workshop under the Langya Chamber of Commerce can only produce 100 bottles per month, but it can get 8,000 gold in the income, and the seekers are like clouds, as far as Luoyang and Hedong, Hexi businessmen, have long lived in the best guest house in Xiahe County waiting in line to ask for goods, 8,000 gold! If you take it out, you can resettle tens of thousands of victims. ”

Cang Ci and Cheng Bing were both emotional and sad, the two discussed for a while, and Cang Ci said loudly: "Zijian, how about handing over the West Sea to you?" The monarch will have your back. ”

"No way!"

Liu Cun thought of the new Minister of State Zhang Fan, and in order to avoid suspicion that he could not come forward, he proposed a surprising candidate: "Brother Xiaoren, how about wronging you to be the commander of Xihai County?" ”

Cheng Bing was taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Cang Ci, who was named by Liu Cun: "How can this be done?" Brother Xiaoren is the history of the kingdom and the right-hand man of the king! ”

Cang Ci was moved, he understood Liu Cun's deep meaning, not to mention that he was not happy with his internal history, so he would rather do something practical for the people in order to win the comfort and satisfaction of his conscience, rather than stumbling year after year, and achieving nothing when he was old.

"Do you really want to do it?" Cheng Bing discovered Cangci's abnormality.

Cang Ci didn't answer immediately, but weighed it for a long time, and finally raised his head and said, "I'll do it!" First, no one gossips about me as the commander of Xihai County, and secondly, I can do what I can for the people, and I can also slightly repay Zijian's long-term friendship. ”

Liu Cun's eyes lit up, he stood up and solemnly saluted Cang Ci, he knew that he had finally obtained the most practical, far-sighted and broad-minded governance talent in this Shilin!

Cang Ci really didn't disappoint Liu Cun, and immediately got up and solemnly returned the salute, without calling him any lord, and without any other nonsense, he looked at Liu Cun and smiled and sat down slowly.

Cheng Bing immediately understood, and looked around happily: "What about the wine?" Zijian, what about wine? ”

"Don't look for it, during the war, a strict ban on alcohol was implemented in the Zijian camp, and you replaced the bar with tea, haha!" Cang Cile said happily.

Cheng Bing regretted on the surface, but in his heart he was secretly happy for Liu Cun, he and Liu Cun had already been in love, and had reached a tacit understanding with Liu Cun in private, but due to the current situation, he did not pierce this layer of window paper.

Liu Cun was also cautious, he had not allowed his brothers to call him the lord until he became the Taishou of Shangchengyang and had the qualifications to accept others to call him "envoy" and "Ming Gong", he slowly loosened this prohibition, instead of unscrupulously raising his disciples like the powerful and powerful people in various places and the powerful in the court, unabashedly raising his own ambitions, and living an addiction to "lord duke" early.
