"At this time, we should focus on the safety of the people.

The grain and grass are burned, the people are panicked, the situation is unstable, and the construction of palaces and canals will be greatly affected.

If the reassurance of the people is not carried out in a timely manner, the situation will be even more serious.

In this way, many of the efforts we have made before will be destroyed, and a lot of money and food will be wasted......"

"How does Cade think he needs to reassure the people?"

At this time, Li Ru had already walked over, and after standing here and listening for a while, he glanced at his father-in-law Dong Zhuo and interjected to ask.

Liu Cheng saluted Li Ru respectfully, and then said loudly: "First of all, we need to make a list of the people, and send a large number of people to inform these people that the government will not abandon them."

They will be given food, they will not go hungry.

They will receive nothing less for their work.

This is called winning the trust of the people.

With this kind of propaganda, these people have a bottom in their hearts, and although their worries will not be eliminated because of this, people's hearts will not be as panicked as they are now, and they have no intention of working.

Second, after the propaganda, a batch of grain and grass was immediately transferred, and when it was time to distribute grain to these people, they continued to distribute it normally, so that the people were at ease.

The impact will be eliminated and things will be able to get back on track. ”

Liu Cheng replied.

"Just, where does this food come from?"

After Li Ru glanced at Dong Zhuo, he asked Liu Cheng again.

Just listening to Li Ru's words, Liu Chengcheng knew that things were not easy to do.

In this regard, he already has a certain amount of preparation in his heart.

After all, he had heard from Dong Zhuo about his purpose in building the Dock from Dong Zhuo before.

Collect money and grain, so that the people of the Dong family live in it, and they do not work for thirty years, and the money and food are inexhaustible!

In other words, at this time, Dong Zhuo still had a certain amount of surplus grain in his hands.

It's just that he has all this money and food.

Liu Cheng saluted Dong Zhuo.

"Son-in-law can't conjure up money and food out of thin air, this matter still needs grandfather's help......"

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he glanced at Li Ru, revealing some looks that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

The meaning is obvious, that is, things are exactly what I expected.

Kid also didn't have a good solution to this matter, and in the end, he still hit the idea on himself.

It was with great difficulty that I managed to get such a little money and food, and now everyone wants it, and it is needed everywhere, which is really difficult!

"There are places where food is used everywhere, and these days, your grandfather and I have no surplus food in our hands!"

Dong Zhuo opened his mouth, full of emotion.

made clear his attitude on this matter.

"Otherwise, Kede you see this, it is better to stop the repair work of Longshou Canal and Zhengguo Canal first, and let those tun people return, so that a lot of food can be saved......

The rest of the food, a little more carefully, is still about the same as dealing with these people who built the palace and the Wuwu......"

Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Cheng and spoke again, adding.

After saying what I thought about, I came up with.

At the same time, he also borrowed this method to show Liu Cheng his determination to treat money and grain this time, and asked Liu Cheng not to beat him with money and grain.

"Three-quarters of the Longshou Canal has been repaired, and the Zhengguo Canal is almost halfway repaired, and by this winter, the two canals will be ready for irrigation purposes.

It would be a pity to stop at this time......

Moreover, my grandfather, even if these people are not allowed to build canals, these people still need food and government relief......"

Liu Cheng sighed and said to Dong Zhuo.

That's the crux of the matter.

"These people, don't pay too much attention, these people are like weeds, their lives are very hard.

If you don't pay attention to it, you won't die, and after two years, there will be many people.

Besides, not all the people don't care, but they don't care about the people of this third of Mintun.

There is an army, and these people can't make waves.

There will be some chaos in Guanzhong because of this, but the chaos will not be too big and will not affect the overall situation......"

Liu Cheng presided over the Tuntian Anmin this time, and nearly one million people were resettled.

A third, or 300,000, is a little more up.

How can such a large number of people, with a fluttering word, say that they will give up, and they will give up, how can this be done?

Liu Cheng would never agree.

What's more, he treats and operates Guanzhong as his base camp and base!

Liu Cheng bowed his head and was silent, quickly thinking about countermeasures in his heart.

And Dong Zhuo didn't make a sound urging, just sat here and waited quietly.

It's just that I made up my mind in my heart that no matter what, I won't come up with food.

Time passed little by little, and none of the three people in the room made a sound.

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo, and then at Liu Cheng.

Li Ru, who originally wanted to see if Liu Cheng could come up with any unexpected solutions to break the game this time, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems that this time, things are a little difficult to do.

Kede, his niece and son-in-law, can't think of any way.

After all, this time, food is the foundation.

And his father-in-law is stuck in the grain and does not let go.

In such a situation, no kind of strategy can be achieved here.

It's a dead knot at all.

Just when Li Ru was thinking like this in his heart, Liu Cheng, who lowered his head and was silent, raised his head.

After arching his hand to Dong Zhuo, he said, "Grandfather took out the food to help these people later, how about I borrowed it?"

At least three months, at most at the end of the year, it will be returned to my grandfather, or even more.

What did grandfather think? ”

Li Ru cheered up when he heard this, and according to Liu Cheng's words. Quickly think about the method that Liu Cheng might use.

And Dong Zhuo also smiled in his heart.

He made up his mind not to give food, and said, "I don't know how Kede is going to repay when the time comes?" Is it going to impose additional taxes on these settlers? ”

Liu Cheng shook his head when he heard this: "When Mintun was set up before, it was already agreed with these people that there would be no taxes, and if it was rashly increased at this time, it would be discredited to the people, and the gains outweighed the losses." ”

"The grain in Guanzhong is limited, and Kede is not ready to raise taxes, so there is no other way to get a lot of money and grain?"

Li Ru asked aloud, his heart full of curiosity.

Liu Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "I have a bold idea, saying that my grandfather and uncle will listen." ”

After arching his hand to the two of them and showing respect, he said loudly: "Grandfather, uncle, where are we to the south of Guanzhong?" ”

Where to the south, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru naturally know.

Dong Zhuo said: "It's Qinling." ”

Liu Cheng nodded, and asked again: "What about further south?" ”

"Further south is Yizhou."

Dong Zhuo answered.

After saying that, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

He is not a stupid person, Liu Cheng said this at this time, and basically understood what Liu Cheng meant.

Li Ru on the side, his eyes couldn't help but light up!

That's the way it is!!

The food here in Guanzhong is indeed limited, and even if it is squeezed, it can't be squeezed out.

However, this world is not only about the middle of the world, but also about the rest of the world!

Needless to say, Liangzhou in the west and Merge in the north.

Two states, one poorer than the other.

To the east is the Luoyang area.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about it.

Just experienced war.

In addition, his father-in-law Dong Zhuo, when he left Luoyang, he carried out a search from the inside out, and it directly became a barren land.

It's simply impossible to get food there.

But in addition to that, you can also go south!!

Kede's idea is really bold enough!

"Since the land of Qin Debashu, Li Bing and his son have built Dujiangyan, making Zeguo a thousand miles of fertile wilderness.

Qin's national strength is becoming stronger day by day!

Previously, Kede once said that Qin can dominate the dragon plate, and no one dares to provoke him if he retreats, and he will whip the world when he comes out.

Now it seems that there is still less to say.

There is also the land of Bashu, as its grain production land, because of the continuous supply of grain!

I went to Gaozu, and I also went to Shu to settle down first, and then Ming Xiu plank road secretly Chen Cang, out of Bashu to occupy the land of Guanzhong.

In the land of Guanzhong and Bashu, he had the ability to compete with Xiang Yu for hegemony, and based on this, he finally won the world.

Nowadays, all parts of the world are in turmoil, and Yizhou is basically stable because of the situation in the mountains and rivers.

And there is a lot of fertile land, and there will be plenty of food......"

Li Ru continued Liu Cheng's words.

The more you talk, the brighter your eyes become.

"That's a good idea, Ked!"

He couldn't help but praise Liu Cheng.

"In this way, there must be a lot of money and food that can be obtained, and Yizhou can be controlled by the way!"

"Father-in-law, what do you think of Kede's idea?"

After saying something, Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo and asked out loud.

Dong Zhuo didn't talk immediately.

He closed his eyes and was silent, making a contemplative gesture.

It took a long time before he opened his eyes.

"A great idea indeed, and a bold one!

Once it's done, it's hugely rewarding! ”

Dong Zhuo opened his mouth and nodded, affirming.

"It's just that when I go to Yizhou, the road is rugged and difficult, Yizhou is a big state, Liu Yan is not a particularly straw bag, and there are many soldiers and horses left here in Guanzhong to guard against Xiliang Han Sui, as well as the people in Guandong, and the people who can be mobilized, which is too much......"

After saying a few words, Dong Zhuo looked at Liu Cheng: "Kede thinks that how many soldiers and horses are needed to be able to make contributions?" ”

"The grandson-in-law thinks that the grandson-in-law leading the grandson-in-law headquarters, plus Zhang Wenyuan's department, is enough to take Yizhou and use it for his grandfather."

Dong Zhuo nodded: "If you only use these soldiers and horses, you can still get there." ”

After saying that, he groaned for a while, and said, "It's just, what kind of suitable excuse do you want to find to attack Liu Yan?" ”

The ancients have always been famous for their teachers.

Many times, even an existence like Dong Zhuo is the same.

controlled the imperial court, theoretically speaking, Dong Zhuo was orthodox at this time, and at this time he began to pay attention to righteousness.

Liu Cheng thought about it for a while, looked at Dong Zhuo, and said with a smile: "Grandfather thinks that how about letting the Son of Heaven issue an edict and order Yizhou Mu Liu Yan to offer one million stones of rice and grain to help build the palace and build Chang'an?" ”

Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Li Ru also twisted his beard with his hands and laughed together.

"Ked, you're really there

！ It's hard for you to find such a wonderful path out of such a mess! ”

Dong Zhuo suppressed his laughter and patted Liu Cheng's shoulder with his hand.

He immediately continued: "The edict is easy to do, I will write a letter later, and let people use it to print." ”

The Son of Heaven is too young to be in charge of the government, and the power of the empire is held by Dong Zhuo, the person who controls the government.

Especially when it comes to things like edicts, which can be manufactured in batches.

The three of them had a discussion on this matter and made this matter even more perfect.

And Dong Zhuo, at the beginning, made up his mind in his heart, let Liu Cheng, the grandson-in-law, tell the dead toad to pee, and resolutely would not agree to use the money and food he had saved for the Dong family.

During the discussion, he said this matter without any hindrance.

It took a long time for Li Ru to find out about this.

After realizing this, he was stunned, and then secretly gave Liu Cheng a thumbs up.

Li Ru still knows a lot about his father-in-law.

In many things, my father-in-law is very stubborn.

Especially when it comes to the Dong family.

Under the circumstance that his father-in-law had already expressed his position before, Li Ru felt that no matter who came over, he would not be able to move his father-in-law, take out a large amount of money and food prepared for the Dong family from his father-in-law, and invest it in the matter of relocating these people.

Even Liu Cheng, a niece and son-in-law, is not successful.

As a result, not long after Liu Cheng came over, his father-in-law, who had bitten his mouth to death, had already changed his mind!

At this time, there is no need for Liu Cheng to say much about this matter, and his father-in-law will take the initiative to talk about it.

After giving a large amount of money and food, he actually asked Liu Cheng very intimately if it was enough......

This kind of cordial attitude was something that Li Ru had never enjoyed before.

Looking at his father-in-law's attitude towards Liu Cheng, his niece and son-in-law, Li Ru was a little apprehensive for a while.

are also the sons-in-law of the Dong family, why is the gap so big?

Moreover, he is the son-in-law of his father-in-law, right?

Why is the father-in-law so good to Liu Cheng, the grandson-in-law?

Could it be that this is the so-called intergenerational parent?

At this time, Niu Fu, who was stationed with troops far away in Aotou Mountain, did not see it, and Niu Fu did not know Li Ru's heart.

If you know, our Niu Dazhong Lang will definitely say with tears in his eyes that he is the worst one......

"Grandfather, uncle, I don't know what you think of Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian?"

After some deliberation and the matter was almost determined, Liu Cheng looked at Dong Zhuo and Li Ru and said something like this......
