Everyone followed me into this so-called county guard's house, which looked a little dilapidated from the outside, and the courtyard walls looked like they were about to collapse.

But when I went inside, it was not bad. At least in this dilapidated place, it is good to have rockery pavilions.

Facing the main door is a meeting room with a garden flanked by low bungalows and corridors, and finally a main building behind a circular arch.

Presumably it was the county guard's residence in the end.

Rong'er chirped and said: Brother, it's finally here, my God... I'll clean up your room first, and you can go about your business!

After saying that, he took the close-fitting maid and went straight to the attic with two bags.

Now those who remain by their side, in addition to the cooks, housekeepers and maids in the original Jubaolou, there are only more than 100 guards left who were bought later, plus 5 people Leng Feng and Long Xiaoyun, Fugui, Zhuge Jin, Xueyi, Dark Night, Yingyi, Su Xiong, these main personnel.

This way, Su Xiong is the most quiet one, and he is basically in a state of cultivation all the way. Fortunately, he sent back a lot of gold coins before leaving, enough for the people in that small village to live a carefree life for decades.

Then he took a few key personnel to the front parlor and told the housekeeper to take full authority to deal with everything here, because there were still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in front of me, and I didn't want to deal with these trivial matters, the guards left some patrols, and the rest were helping to carry things.

Sit down! Go to the top and sit down, and then a few people don't know how to sit down!

If you follow the close relationship, it is nothing more than the blood one, the rich, and Zhuge Jin are the closest, but the cultivation of several people is not the highest. So you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to sit properly.

Poof...

I sneered and said: I said that you are not tired, sit casually first, and then talk about the specific preface, now I don't have the heart to deal with this little thing.

Next, Leng Feng and the other 5 people sat on the right-hand side, and then Fugui and the others sat on the left-hand side.

All right... Now there is no tea, no alcohol, the next thing we urgently have to deal with is the current problem of people's livelihood, let's talk about it!

Everyone didn't talk to them, they must have just arrived here, their eyes were black, and it was inappropriate to express their opinions casually.

Report.... Tell the young master that there is a general named Xiong Ba outside the door who asks to see him with an elegant Confucian scholar.

Good... When you come in earnest, please quickly. I said hurriedly.

Be... The guards quickly retreated.

Then Xiong Ba walked up with an elegant Confucian who looked to be only about 30 years old.

His subordinate Xiong Ba meets the adult.

Sun Ce, the grass people, visited the adults.

Excuse me, Xiong Ba, I don't know who this Gongsun Ce is?

Answerer, I know that adults will definitely be worried about things related to Hisai County, so I specially brought "Risao" to accept the adult's inquiry.

My lord, this side next to me is the largest family in our Feixi County, and Sun Ce, the grandfather of Gongsun Yuan, is also the Lizheng Lord of our Feixi County, but it was recommended by all the county residents of Feixi County.

Manages the entire Hisai County on his behalf. Therefore, at present, there is no one who is most familiar with the entire county than Lord Gongsun.

Good... Then please ask Lord Gongsun to give me a detailed introduction to the current situation in the entire Feixi County. I said respectfully.

At present, there are 28 small towns in Feixi County, with a total population of about one million people, most of whom are old and weak, women and children, and less than 200,000 young and middle-aged people.

At present, life in the whole Feixi County is very difficult, not long ago, the barbarians entered the customs to rob the grain, and the grain of 8 small towns was basically robbed, including next year's good seeds, all of which need to be relieved by the county.

The other towns can only ensure simple food and clothing at most, and the entire county town now has no money income, and most of the population can't stand the harassment of the barbarians, and goes out to wander.

So the next two problems need to be solved, one is how to meet the food ration problem of nearly 200,000 people in those eight small towns, and the second is how to attract young adults who go out to return.

Only in this way can the farmland be cultivated and the food sufficient for consumption can be guaranteed.

As for how to defend against the barbarians, this is what General Xiong has to say.

Adult, basically report is finished.

Not.... Just as I was groaning, Zhuge Jin suddenly asked:

Brother Gongsun, I would like to ask, how many acres of fertile land are there in Feixi County at present, and how many people can work and harvest a year?

Who is this?

Gongsun Ce, this person is my staff member and my brother, his name is Zhuge Jin, and he asks you on my behalf.

Be... My lord.

Brother Zhuge Hui, there is not much in Feixi County, that is, there are many fertile fields, because we are surrounded by mountains on both sides, so the climate is quite pleasant as a whole, so there are no less than 10,000 acres of fertile land that can still be cultivated, which only accounts for less than 2 percent.

More fertile land is mostly abandoned because it is uncultivated. As for the number of people who work, if you count the whole county now, there are less than 200,000 people, but 200,000 people have to feed 1 million people, so...

As for the harvest, there is no problem with two seasons a year.

I don't know what other problems Brother Zhuge has.

Without.... Thank you.... Zhuge Jin clenched his fists and arched his hands to express his gratitude.

You're welcome, as it should be.

At this time, I asked out loud: Gongsun Ce, according to reason, Feixi County is a subsidiary city of Tianqian City, why don't you go to Tianqian City for help?

Ay... Adults don't know. Since escaping the famine 10 years ago, the Heavenly Trench City has not been in charge of us, and I once went to the City Lord's Mansion to meet the City Lord, but I was coaxed out.

To put it bluntly, the current Feixi County is a victim of the imperial dynasty, and the existence of self-destruction...

So how often do barbarians come now? Why not intercept them?

Ay... This one... After speaking, he glanced at Xiong Ba, clasped his fists at me, and took a step back.

My lord, it's not that we don't intercept it, on the one hand, the barbarians are strong and powerful, and it depends on how we, the villagers, who farm, can resist. There are even bigger reasons

We have not received any supplies for a long, long time, and at present more than 20,000 people are still spontaneously composed of young and middle-aged people in various towns and villages, and we now have less than 200 old and weak horses.

And the barbarians are known for their fast horses, and the barbarians are mixed in the steppes to the north all the year round, and the horses are excellent, so even if we get the information and want to intercept it, this has not yet run, and the people have already run away.

So the current dilemma is that we can only hold this county for a short time, this is still the result of the barbarians, presumably the barbarians don't want to kill chickens and take eggs!

Xiong Ba, what kind of cultivation are you doing now?

Back to my lord, I can only be regarded as a martial artist's cultivation now, because I don't have exercises and no cultivation resources, so...

Then how did you get your cultivation?

Back to my lord, I wasn't from Feixi County, I wandered here, so I settled here. It's just that this cultivation hasn't increased for 2 years... Ay...

Okay, in general, we already know about Feixi County, let's talk about it, how should we solve the current predicament? I sat at the top, looked at the people below, and asked lightly.

The two of you can also find a place to sit, and today we will discuss and discuss the overall development of Feixi County.

As my words fell, the whole scene fell into a deathly silence.

The most difficult problem now is not the problem of barbarians, but the problem of people, and no one is the biggest problem.

After being silent for about two quarters of an hour, just when I was a little impatient, Gongsun Ce stood up, clenched his fists and said: My lord, the top priority now is to solve the problem of rations in the 8 towns that were robbed.

It would be best if the adults could seek the help of the Heavenly Trench City and allocate a batch of food.

After speaking, he sat down, perhaps in the eyes of Gongsun Ce, the most important thing is the problem of eating and drinking the population of several towns and villages in front of him.

I kept my head down and was silent. For me, this is only a palliative solution, not a cure, and it is not a problem to eat, and I can also feed and dress by sending some people up to the mountains to hunt.

Only Zhuge Jin's eyes kept turning, and his face was also changing, and then returning to normal. Finally, he looked at Gongsun Ce and said lightly: "Brother Gongsun, if you go to Tianqian City to recruit, I don't know if you can recruit the previous residents back?"

This.... Gongsun Ce groaned for a moment and did not speak.

Boss, in fact, the current problem seems to be difficult, but in fact, in the simplest terms, it is nothing more than a human problem. No one can solve anything, if Brother Gongsun can recruit back a large part of the original residents.

I am confident that in less than two years, this will be a wealthy county town.

Oh, Brother Zhuge said this, don't you know the main reason why those residents fled?

Brother Gongsun, of course I know, but it is precisely because I know that I dare to say this, this is my confidence, you may also be a talent, but your heart only sees the present, but not the long-term, more importantly

Your heart is not in our family boss, but in yourself, from your eyes, I see disdain, this is why, I said let you go to recruit, when the departed person comes back, the reason why you hesitate.

At present, the problem of city defense is not a problem, the boss and the 80,000 soldiers and horses, in addition to the 30,000 old and young and disabled, there are at least 50,000 combatable forces, and these 50,000 cavalry belong to five corps for cruise.

I believe that even if the barbarians attack, they can definitely stop it. I forgot to mention that these 5 corps commanders are all martial king-level cultivators, and I believe that any one of them can resist it.

So the key issue now is how to save the population of this county, relying on these people alone, it will definitely not work, let alone replenish the troops, if there are more young and middle-aged people, replenish the troops, then there is no problem in fighting out.

This... At this time, not only Gongsun Ce was stunned, but even Xiong Ba was stunned. The two of them killed each other, and they didn't expect that my side would bring so many martial king powerhouses.

Brother Gongsun, do you still think that recruiting back is a problem at this time? I can say that as long as you are willing to come back to live and work, you can have a series of preferential conditions, such as reduced taxes, subsidies, and so on.

Brother Zhuge is wise... It's really too late to make you laugh.

Brother Gongsun, you are full of wealth, why should you pretend to be someone who does not understand? Maybe one of your decisions today will change your life, so you can think about it yourself!
