No matter how Mu Qingli shirked it, Zhao Ziyang finally dragged her to the center of Qiongzhou, Shuocheng. There was no way, Mu Qingli had to bite the bullet and hold on.

It is not easy to manage a large state, especially when there are hungry people, and just starting from simple food, clothing, shelter and transportation, the food in it will be difficult for a large area.

Fortunately, Zhao Ziyang is not so unreliable, he borrowed Zhang Xianmin, the state capital of Pingcheng, to assist Mu Qingli, so that she would not be black-eyed and at a loss. At present, Mu Qingli's first thing to do is to collect the situation in Qiongzhou, gradually analyze and scrutinize, and formulate the next plan.

There are six major cities in Qiongzhou, Wangcheng is the city of the border pass, Pingcheng is adjacent to it, Shuocheng is located in the middle, the ancient city is at the junction with Yongzhou, and there is a Hecheng, which borders Jingzhou occupied by the northern Xinjiang, Su Xiang and Su Qi fled from Jingzhou.

The six major cities of Qiongzhou, less than one-twentieth of the fields in use, only 90,000 surviving people, among the 90,000 people, the elderly account for more than half, and the number of children and women is the least.

If you want to stabilize the land, the first thing is to eat enough, and the people take food as the sky, which is an eternal truth.

Shuocheng, Mu Qingli's courtyard.

"Our Zhendong Army, how much food can we take out to the people of Qiongzhou this time?" Mu Qingli stared at the information in hand, frowned and asked Zhang Xianmin.

Zhang Xianmin took out a piece of information from Mu Qingli's hand, and said in a deep voice: "This time, Qiongzhou and Yongzhou need the support of the Zhendong Army for food, but fortunately, there is a bumper harvest of wheat and sweet potatoes in the wasteland of Hanmen Pass, plus the grain collected from the Huhai army, which can be distributed to Qiongzhou in addition to military food, a total of three million catties. ”

"Too little!" Mu Qingli frowned, these grains can only be eaten by the people for more than a month, and it is almost November now, and now the crops planted will not be harvested until February at the earliest, and at the same time, grain is also a big problem.

Mu Qingli rubbed her forehead, her head ached, it was really a waste to be rebuilt, like a ruin to be rebuilt.

Zhang Xianmin had a different idea: "Brother Mu, in my opinion, this food may not be enough, you know, to survive under the occupation of the Huhai people and the abandonment of farmland, the people have their own set of survival rules, what we need to do is to assist them and plant the land." You know, what they lack now is labor. ”

Mu Qingli put down her hand, and her eyes lit up.

"Also, it's late autumn now, and it's going to be winter soon, and the people's housing problem must be solved, the Hu people wantonly destroy the people's residences, and there are not a few people who freeze to death every year, since our Zhendong Army has taken over, there is no reason to stand idly by."

Listening to Zhang Xianmin's eloquent words, Mu Qingli had an illusion that she was the one who assisted, she was worthy of being an official for many years, and she could hit the nail on the head at once.

Mu Qingli bit her lip and decided: "Then our next plan is to focus on farming and building houses." ”

Zhang Xianmin nodded in agreement, and then the two had a detailed discussion and planning on how to carry it out.

In the end, the two finalized that 30 catties of grain would be given to each adult and 15 catties to each child under the age of 10, and that the grain would be distributed according to the standard of 10 catties per mu, and that each city would send 500 to 2,000 soldiers to assist the people in sowing seeds in farmland and repairing houses.

This time, the Zhendong army captured more than 20,000 Huhai people, and Zhao Ziyi told the leader of the Huhai people that if you want to exchange these people, you should exchange them for military supplies, otherwise, a month later, all of them will be executed.
