A few days later, Yuan Shang, who was far away in Youzhou, spread out a small silk cloth that he had taken off from the harrier eagle, skimmed it, but didn't say anything, and threw the silk cloth to a corner at random, without a trace of abnormality.

Below, Feng Ji stood with a slight bow, looking unusually respectful, and in the entire handsome tent, only he and Yuan Shang were quiet.

After reading the last few pieces of information sent by the Intelligence Department and Falcon at the same time, he pinched his brows and said with a smile: "After a few days of cultivation, I have accumulated a lot of miscellaneous things, but it is really more tiring than fighting, but it has made Mr. Yuantu wait for a long time." ”

On the other side, Feng Ji's slightly sluggish face grinned slightly, and said: "The lord is obsessed with official duties, Feng Ji is a subordinate, it's too late to be happy, how can you be stingy with the time of these few pillars of incense, the lord is serious." ”

"You can talk" Yuan Shang smiled indifferently: "I called you over this time, but I have something important to discuss." ”

Feng Ji's slightly sallow face was solemn, and he arched his hand and said, "The lord can just say it." ”

Yuan Shang's eyes moved slightly, and said: "Now, the inventory of Bingzhou has been greatly reduced, in terms of weapons, I am not worried, there is a public loss family to provide, plus the foundry in Benzhou, it is enough, but this grain and grass, but let the general feel a little worried, Youzhou in the short term, is unable to play a role in the effect of feeding, and now from only hundreds of thousands of stone grain and grass inventory out of 200,000 stone, this general is worried that there will be a lot of war, but the grain and grass are insufficient, I am worried, but I don't know what to say, what do you think." ”

When Feng Ji heard this, his brows frowned, but he was also a little worried: "The lord is worried, and it is also our worry, I can't talk about opinions, my subordinates have carefully considered it, this year's climate is acceptable, and the rain is abundant, but the harvest of ordinary people is not bad, how about our army and the people get a part?" ”

"Levy food from the people?" Yuan Shang heard this, subconsciously frowned, he understands, what is the concept of the levy in Feng Ji's mouth, in the chaotic and troubled times, the so-called grain requisition is nothing more than relying on the might of the army, snatching grain from the hands of the people, historically, many princes have also done this, this kind of robbing the people, squeezing the people's atmosphere, has formed a trend, small warlords, small forces, no stable logistical support, generally can only rely on plundering the people's surplus food to survive, therefore, from time to time the people suffer, and the grain and grass that have been saved to survive are taken away, After the war, he was starved to death.

It seemed that seeing Yuan Shang's unpretentious expression, Feng Ji hurriedly added again: "My lord, the levy in the mouth of my subordinates is not to compete with the people for food, but to pay for the surplus grain from the people. ”

Yuan Shang has always been disgusted with the intrusion of officers and soldiers into the people, even if it was the most difficult time, he would only rather take the soldiers to dig and eat weeds, and followed Yuan Shang for a long time, Feng Ji and others of course knew that Yuan Shang was used to it, if he sent troops to rob the people's grain and grass, Mo said that Yuan Shang did not agree, I am afraid that even most of the tiger wolves in the state will be in an uproar, this move is tantamount to digging a grave by himself, to know that the 80,000 tiger wolves in the state, two-thirds of the soldiers are local people in the state, if they want to invade their own homes, I am afraid, The first to rebel is these soldiers who are loyal to Yuan Shang, after all, all loyalty, in the family, in the face of righteousness, after all, is a thin layer of white paper, Yuan Shang is not confident enough to ignore the feelings of the soldiers can still get the center of the soldiers, do not disturb the people, love the people, this is also the reason why Yuan Shang has always been deeply loved by the local people in Bingzhou, under his governance, tens of thousands of troops are strictly forbidden to interfere with the lives of ordinary people, violators, force to be forgiven, not only that, under the call of Yuan Shang, Tens of thousands of soldiers will also help harvest grain and grass when they are busy with farming, and this alone, not even a little bit of kindness, has already moved ordinary people to tears.

Based on all this, although the strategists like Ji Tianfeng were so troubled by the grain and grass that their hair was about to turn white, they did not dare to propose to levy the people's surplus grain, and they were worried that they would touch Yuan Shang's head.

Fortunately, when the strategists were troubled, Xu You put forward an idea, since the people could not be forced to hand over the surplus grain, why not do market transactions, and exchange wealth for the scarce grain and grass of the army.

When Yuan Shang heard this, he rubbed his chin and muttered: "This method is feasible, but how can you be sure that the people are willing to sell the surplus grain they have saved so hard to the government?" ”

After all, in this chaotic era, the people's importance to gold, silver and wealth is far lower than that of life-saving grain and grass, money is a trivial matter, and the state treasury has accumulated a lot, like stones, can't gnaw it, can't eat enough, if he can, Yuan Shang will definitely not hesitate to take it out for grain and grass.

However, for the people are willing to take out the surplus grain and exchange it with the government for wealth, Yuan Shang has a hesitant attitude, what is said above is not a lie, the people's importance to grain and grass is far above all else, in this era, firewood, rice, oil, sauce, vinegar tea, in addition to the firewood for boiling water and cooking, rice is absolutely the most important.

Feng Ji nodded slightly, there was no surprise at the question raised by Yuan Shang, since he dared to put forward this idea, he naturally discussed feasible details with Tian Feng and his colleagues, so as soon as he heard what Yuan Shang said, he said: "The lord's worries are indeed true, and the people's attention to food is far from being comparable to wealth, so his subordinates suggested that it is better for the general's mansion to come forward and exchange the surplus grain in his hands with the people, not only with a price three layers higher than the market price, but also a permanent reduction of the ten cents in addition to the mu tax." This measure was announced by the General's Palace, and in the future, with the prestige that the lord has established in the minds of the people in recent years, the people will not resist too much as soon as the news comes out. ”

Yuan Shang was silent for a moment, and then said: "In this way, you can try it, just wait for the war in Youzhou to subside, and implement it immediately, and you must fill the three granaries in Jinyang for me." ”

"Whoa." Feng Ji's face was grim and he arched his hand.

"There is another matter," Yuan Shang seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "How much grain and grass is left of our army on this trip?" ”

When Feng Ji heard this, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said: "There is not much left, our army has allocated more than 500,000 stone grain and grass before, and a granary has been emptied, and after more than a month, the consumption is very great, and 50,000 stones have been divided to temporarily let the people of Yuyang City eat their stomachs, and now, there are only less than ten days of consumption left, and the grain and grass have been tightened." ”

As the director of the Department of Internal Affairs, Feng Ji must be clear about the trivial matters in the army, including how much grain and grass are consumed every day, how many weapons and how many sets of armor are consumed, and because of this, when Feng Ji is young and shows his strength in his thirties, his forehead has begun to grow wrinkles, and even his hair is a few handfuls of white, all of which are grinded out by these trivial things that are piled up like a hill.

Yuan Shang's eyebrows frowned again, it was a grain and grass problem, there was no way, the state was not Xuzhou or Qingzhou Jizhou, it was indeed a little poor, and he could only helplessly say: "Let Li Huan allocate 100,000 stones from Daijun, Daijun has not been in war for a long time, the county government should be quite generous, first escort a batch from Daijun, as for Shanggu County, Guangyang County and Zhuo County, we must sort out all the surplus, and check the warehouses of the occupied counties and counties, including the population, and in the future, it will be convenient to manage." ”

Feng Ji nodded, and after writing them down one by one, he respectfully stepped back.

As soon as Feng Ji left, Tian Feng immediately came, and he had something to report.

"My lord." Tian Feng bowed.

"Sit down, you and I don't pay so much attention." Yuan Shang smiled lightly.

Tian Feng shook his head and said, "There is a difference between the top and bottom, it doesn't matter if your subordinates stand for a while." ”

"You," Yuan Shang shook his head: "When will this stubborn temper be changed?" ”

Hearing Yuan Shang's words, Tian Feng was not ashamed, but smiled: "My subordinates are used to it, and they can't change it." ”

Yuan Shang shook his head helplessly, but he didn't talk to him, his face turned pale, and he said, "Come here and handsome now, but there is news from Liaodong?" “

"No," Tian Feng shook his head: "On the Liaodong side, Gongsun Du's attitude is ambiguous, there will be no results in the short term, and our army can only digest the existing Youzhou counties first, and wait patiently for Xu You's news, but the state is a little unpeaceful, the intelligence department sent the news that the two cities of Shangdang County were slaughtered, and those clowns who jumped off the beam are really more and more presumptuous." ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, his eyes were cold, his arm fell suddenly, and the table in front of him was instantly shattered, although his face was still a little pale, his whole body exuded an awe-inspiring aura, and even Tian Feng felt that the pores of his body were slightly cold.

"To what extent has Zhou Cang recovered?" The corners of Yuan Shang's mouth were cold, and his eyes were murderous.

Tian Feng's heart moved, and said: "I have basically recovered, and I have long been shouting to return to the camp." ”

"Tell him that I have prepared a surprise for him, let him go to Ziyang, and Ziyang will tell him what to do." Yuan Shang said indifferently.

"Whoa." Tian Feng arched his hand.

"Also" Yuan Shang seemed to think of something, and seemed to be a little hesitant, but he still said: "Send a message to Zhang He, I need an explanation." ”

Seeing Tian Feng's puzzled face, Yuan Shang didn't explain anything: "He will understand what I mean." ”

Since Yuan Shang refused to say anything, Tian Feng didn't say anything, arched his hand, and withdrew from the handsome tent.
