Pacifying Liangzhou, the Xiliang Army consumed countless grains, grass and materials, plus the reconstruction of Chang'an, the treasury was no longer sufficient, even with the financial resources accumulated by the Xianlian Pavilion over the years, it could not withstand such a squander, rashly more than so many people affected by the disaster, Zhang Li was naturally in a hurry, and complained to Jia Rong many times, listening to Zhang Li tell the expenses of the Xiliang Army, Jia Rong was embarrassed.

"Lord, our army doesn't have much food and grass materials, I'm afraid it's powerless." Zhang Li looked worried.

Zhang Zhao on the side also looked embarrassed, they are internal affairs officials, the people are suffering, they should be responsible for the allocation of grain and grass, they could have barely survived this winter, and there were more displaced people, but it was an unexpected change.

"Zibu, excluding the county guards, our army currently has 60,000 elite soldiers, you can calculate how long the grain in the warehouse can support."

"The income of the Immortal Love Pavilion is also counted." Jia Rong added.

"My lord, in this way, the people who have been affected by the disaster under the rule of our army will survive this winter." Zhang Zhao liquidated a little and got the result.

"Lord, the craftsman's workshop?" Jia Xu reminded that most of the existence of the craftsman's workshop relied on the foundation of the Xianlian Pavilion, and the iron materials in it were all provided by the Xianlian Pavilion.

Jia Rong pondered for a moment and said, "I will discuss this matter with Pu Yuan, so that the craftsman's workshop can save a little, and the people will be the most important." ”

Jia Xu leaned over and said yes, and the two brothers of the Zhang family also nodded.

"Lord, there are a lot of displaced people around Chang'an, and some of them even rushed here from inland states and counties, I don't know how to deal with them?" Zhang Lidao.

"Tell the craftsman workshop to be responsible for building simple wooden houses outside the city, but to be able to withstand the cold and snow in winter, the people can come to Chang'an, which is the trust in Chang'an, so that these people can have a place to live." Jia Rong thought for a moment and said.

The first three people looked shocked, and they gathered the displaced people, there were so many displaced people in the troubled times, plus the drought suffered from the Han this year, and there were more displaced people, so it didn't matter if they took in some on weekdays, but the Xiliang Army itself lacked financial resources, and it was probably inappropriate to rein in vainly.

"Lord, no, our army's food and grass are enough to support the land of Liangzhou, but it is a little difficult for the displaced people." Zhang Li bowed.

Zhang Zhao echoed: "My lord, the displaced people are not the people of Liangzhou, and among them, they may also be related to the spies of the eastern princes, which are not good for our army, and please think twice." ”

"As a Hanchen, the people of other states and counties are the same as the Han people, why can't I save it, in the future, the daily grain and grass will be distributed according to the amount, as long as I get through this winter, the displaced people must be saved, the two Zhang adults go back and work hard, write out the plan, as for the problem of money and food, I will solve it." Speaking of this, Jia Rong looked up at the cloudy sky.

In troubled times, what is the war is fought is the people, and the people who do not have it, even if there is no large territory, what is the use, only those short-sighted princes will expel the people under their rule.

The world of those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times is very simple, but it is difficult to do.

The orders of the general's palace were issued one by one, and dense wooden houses were soon built outside Chang'an City, the bottom of these houses was accumulated with stones, and the upper part was made of wood, which could also be called sturdy, at least there was no problem in surviving this winter.

When Jia Rong gave them hope for survival, there was no reason not to work hard, regardless of men, women and children, they were all invested in the construction of houses, many of these homeless people were young and strong, Jia Rong took the opportunity to recruit young and strong people in the army, the homeless people were poor and white, and they saw that there were many benefits of joining the army, and they happily yearned.

The general's mansion provides food, but there are no people who have no labor, this is also Jia Rong's new idea after seeing the people spontaneously participate in the work of building houses, feeding these homeless, what to get from the homeless, thinking of this, Jia Rong has an understanding.

The weather has gradually become cold, the first people to arrive in the government after registration, began to move in, these houses are much better than some of the people's original houses, but these people are working non-stop every day, reclaiming fields, repairing roads, even the official mansions living in the west of the city, also by Jia Rong to renew, although it attracted many officials opposition, or was suppressed by Jia Rong.

Although the drought is serious, Liangzhou, a barren place in the eyes of outsiders, has not appeared starving to death of things, and the people everywhere are grateful to the officials.

In less than a month, 50,000 or 60,000 displaced people had gathered in Chang'an.

"My lord, there are more and more displaced people, and according to this scenario, it will be difficult to get through this winter." Jia Xu worried.

"Let the Su Jiawei family and the Mi family in Xuzhou prepare grain and grass for the general's mansion, no matter what the price is, and the people outside the city can't starve to death and freeze to death." Jia Rong said categorically.

Jia Rong's decision did not surprise Jia Xu, abandoning the people, which has not appeared since the establishment of the Xiliang Army.

"And these people can't be idle, how much food they eat, how much labor they have to pay, I see that the official roads in the counties of Liangzhou are in disrepair, let these people build roads, and the general's mansion will provide them with food and accommodation."

"In order to prevent drought in Liangzhou in the future, water conservancy will be built in various places." Jia Rong said slowly.

Zhang Zhao praised when he heard this: "The lord said this very kind, and I expect that those people will have no complaints." ”

Suddenly, Jia Rong thought of another matter that the lone wolf soldiers had asked him to inquire about a few days ago, picked up a brush, and drew two circles on the map, "Order the Huaxiong Department to be stationed here, and the Li Meng Department to be stationed here." ”

Jia Xu was puzzled, but still conveyed Jia Rong's order.

"Take care not to disturb the people, and if there are people living here, speak well and persuade them, and do not be reckless." Jia Rong admonished.

Jia Xu nodded yes, and sighed secretly: "Jia Rong can be decisive to the family, but he is extremely merciful to the people, I don't know if it is the blessing of the Xiliang army." ”

One of these two places is in the south of Anding County, and the other is in Shegu Mountain in Beidi County, and if you look at the maps of later generations, you can see at a glance that these two places produce coal.

Coal was not used in the Han Dynasty, and charcoal was used to build weapons, and there was not enough temperature, so it was very difficult to forge a sharp blade.

With coal, not only the problem of weapons can be solved, but also the problem of warmth in the cold winter can be solved.

"Recruit the young and strong among the people, rush to these two places, and do what Pu Yuan instructs." Jia Rong ordered.

Of the nearly 60,000 displaced people, more than 30,000 were sent to repair roads and canals, and the able-bodied people were selected from the remaining people and rushed to the two places circled by Jia Rong.

Looking at the barren and barren mountain range, Hua Xiong was puzzled by Jia Rong's order, now it is the time when the Xiliang army is struggling to live, but his own 1,500 men and horses have been sent to this lonely mountain to garrison, surrounded by the Xiliang army's governance range, and there is no battle to fight.

Li Meng was originally Huaxiong's general, and was appointed as a battalion general, and he also wanted to show his ambitions in his chest, but he didn't expect to be sent to Shegu Mountain, a place where birds don't, and all his anger was vented on the soldiers, and a total of more than 800 people, including the medical soldiers of the cooking class, were trained by him day and night.

When Blacksmith Liu led the people to this place, he saw such a grand scene.

Wuwei is the birthplace of famous wine in later generations, Jia Rong instructed Wuwei Taishou to establish a winery, specializing in the production of this wine, I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is indeed strong, Jia Rong's rough recipe, in exchange for the fine wine on the haode, compared with the fine wine of later generations, there is a gap, but also let Jia Rong very satisfied.

Coal mining relies on the labor force of the displaced people, these people are raised by the Xiliang army, but there is no chaos, the coal mines in the two places are very large, digging not too deep to get the haode coal, and the carriages are transported to Chang'an.

It was the middle of winter, the number of displaced people under the rule of the Xiliang Army had reached as many as 100,000, and the Taishou in various places had built a large number of buildings, built dilapidated official offices, and provided labor for restaurants that needed to be renovated.

"Drive internal consumption!" Many restaurants have to give the face of the government, and other restaurants have become magnificent after decoration, and the heart of comparison is quietly revealed, especially in Jincheng and Chang'an, where there are many rich businessmen, and some money does not care at all.

Jia Rong's house has been burned with coal from the north of Anding, the house is as warm as spring, many mansions in Chang'an City are burning coal, under Jia Rong's drive, coal burning has become a habit of life for upper-class figures, of course, these officials' homes are not free.

The price of coal is still not low, coal is underground, unobtrusive, Jia Rong once again enjoyed the benefits of advanced knowledge.

Sitting on the bed, leisurely sipping the wine produced in Wuwei, sitting on both sides of the wife.

"General, Lord Zhang asks to see!" The maid Ying Ying bowed and said softly.

Cai Yan Weifu got up and walked out of Jia Rong's room.

"Lord Zhang didn't know why he came?" Jia Rong looked at Zhang Li, whose face was full of red light, and asked with a smile.

"Lord, Wuwei has another batch of good wine, and I specially brought it for the lord to taste."

Jia Rong stared at Zhang Li and smiled: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?" What's the matter, just say it. ”

"Lord, although the problem of the displaced people has been solved, but the Han Emperor has left Chang'an, the lord should communicate more with the imperial court in Yanzhou, just like the resettlement of the displaced people this time, it is a great achievement, why not tell the saint."

"The lord's position as a general relies on the Han dynasty, if Cao Cao's strength exceeds that of the lord, how can he be a Yanzhou pastor with peace of mind." Zhang Li sat beside Jia Rong and continued: "With the actions of the lord, it will definitely be able to make the people of the world feel the benevolence and righteousness of the Xiliang army, and attract countless talented people to go happily. ”

"Well, this matter is up to you, first taste the wine produced by Wuwei." Jia Rong personally filled Zhang Li with a lamp.

"No!" Zhang Li took the wine cup with both hands, took a sip, and showed a satisfied look on his face, although he swore not to drink at the beginning, but this is wine, not ordinary wine, Zhang Li explained this in private, and Jia Rong did not break it.
