Chapter Thirty-Six: Another 'Hard Day'
Xiangyang, from an uninhabited place converted into the Gong Cao Administration.
"Alright, you guys will rest for a while."
Chen Feng leaned back on the recliner, stretched lazily, and waved his hand to signal the two maids to stand aside temporarily, he slowly picked up the clay pot and said to the people who were busy on the side.
"But the result?"
"Go back to Alang."
In the crowd, a middle-aged man about forty years old, after saluting Chen Feng, said, "It's still a little short." ”
"Oh, then you guys keep busy."
Chen Feng nodded, waved his hand, and said to the two maids next to him: "I'm a little hungry, you go and help me get a box of tea crisps." ”
"Yes, Aaron."
One of the maids agreed, bowed slightly, and then turned away.
"Ah Lang, do you still want to press it?"
The other maid who stayed behind asked eagerly after being lost.
"No need, if you really want to press it again, Alang, I'm going to fall asleep."
Chen Feng yawned and continued: "Moreover, you have been pressing for so long, you should be tired, right?" Go and rest for a while. ”
"Another ......"
As he spoke, he took out ten five-baht coins from his arms, handed them over and said, "This is your and Huan'er's reward, when she comes back, remember to share it with her." ”
"Thank you......"
The maid named Huan'er was overjoyed, and she subconsciously wanted to thank her, but after touching Chen Feng's gaze, she hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you, honored guest." ”
Although she didn't know why Chen Jia Ah Lang liked to hear such a name during the massage.
But as a slave of the Chen family, she only needs to follow orders.
What's more, pay back the money!
"Hmm."
Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction, and pretended to be serious: "You can't say anything wrong in the future, otherwise, Ah Lang will have to deduct the money." ”
"Ring... Number 16 remembered. ”
Huan'er hurriedly responded, and after doing this, she suddenly changed her appearance, and said coquettishly: "Ah Lang, Huan'er wants to buy something, ...... you?"
"Go, go, go."
Chen Feng waved his hand very indifferently, signaling that the latter could go.
Huan'er immediately saluted him happily, and walked out slowly, but as soon as she stepped out of the threshold, she instantly trotted up, and her posture was ...... Extremely indecent.
Chen Feng was looking at it interestingly, and when he wanted to watch it for a while, a voice suddenly came from beside him, which directly interrupted his Yaxing.
"Ah Lang, this ring has only been here for a few days, and it is so unruly, if it goes on like this for a long time......"
The person who spoke was the middle-aged man who answered Chen Feng's words just now.
Moreover, while he spoke, he was also ashamed, as if he had done something wrong.
"Uncle Chen, don't worry, I don't know what you said."
Chen Feng interrupted Chen Lu disapprehantly: "But how old are these two children?" It's only thirteen or fourteen years old, so what do you do?
It's like me, if I had stayed in Yingchuan in a proper manner, would I have been as valued by my family as I am today? ”
Chen Lu opened his mouth, and wanted to say something more, but under Chen Feng's gaze, he could only say helplessly: "Since Ah Lang knows it in his heart, then Lu won't say anything, but you also have to pay more attention to some occasions......"
"Okay, I got it."
Chen Feng nodded, and at the same time stretched out his hand and said, "The result is out, right?" ”
"It's out."
Chen Lu nodded, and put a few bamboo slips in his hand into Chen Feng's hand, and when the latter opened it to watch, he continued to speak: "Compile County, Ruoxian, Dangyang, Zhijiang...... As well as the treasury of many counties in Gangneung, there is a large surplus of grain stock. ”
"According to what Ah Lang said, one person has two liters a day, and the grain that Ah Lang can use today is more than enough."
Speaking of this, Chen Lu didn't say anything more. Just stood aside silently and let Chen Feng learn more details by himself.
"Really? That's good. ”
Chen Feng replied casually, his face was flat.
Of course, this is only on the surface.
In fact, his heart had already been shaken by the 'information' in front of him.
There is too much food.
So much so that even if there are several disaster years in a row, it can easily feed 100,000 soldiers and horses.
What's even more terrifying is that there is still a lot of land in Jingzhou that has not had time to be cultivated.
No, it's not that it's not in time, it's mainly that there is no one.
But this point, with the migration of the people of Nanyang, will never exist again.
In other words, Jingzhou at its peak, even if it only relied on Nanjun alone, could feed more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Of course, this is only a literal thing, but in fact, if you add all kinds of expenses, as well as the control of the major families and the non-payment of taxes, you can't do this.
But even so, it is more than enough to feed seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses.
With a little reclamation, it may be able to compare with the largest county in the world that raised 180,000 soldiers and horses in the prosperous era...... Nanyang County.
If you add some special seeds, maybe Nanjun is even more exaggerated.
Of course, even now, Nanjun is a large county that cannot be underestimated.
But what surprised Chen Feng the most was not these, but another thing.
What surprised him the most was.
Nowadays, most of the grain in Namgun is hoarded in Gangneung!
And when he saw this, a doubt that had always existed in his heart, which could probably be regarded as a historical mystery, was finally solved.
"No wonder in the original history, Boss Cao would rather take a risk and take the first step to defeat Liu Bei."
If you don't do this, you will even let Liu Bei successfully arrive in Jiangling, with Uncle Liu's appeal, plus Guan Yu's own army...... Tsk tsk. ”
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but be amazed in his heart.
Should I say it or not, although Cao Cao's character is not very good, the level of military affairs and the viciousness of his eyesight are really strong.
"Ordinary people, I'm afraid they wouldn't have made up their minds to pursue Liu Bei directly without getting it, or if they had already obtained this information, right?"
"Cao Mengde, it's really not an ordinary person!"
Thinking of Cao Cao's strength, Chen Feng didn't know why in his heart, not only was he not the slightest nervous, but he was also full of fighting spirit.
After all, only such an enemy is worthy of him to fight.
But soon, Chen Feng suppressed this thought, turned his head seriously and asked, "Uncle Chen, what do the people from all over the world think of the Nanyang relocation?" ”
"I don't really care."
Chen Lu shook his head, and then as if he was afraid that Chen Feng would not be puzzled, he explained directly: "The main reason is that most of the people in Nanjun have actually fled from the Central Plains or other places, and they have not yet developed serious local thoughts. ”
"Well, I'm in luck."
Chen Feng nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I know what to do, thank you Uncle Chen for helping, but these things can be done later, now ......"
As he spoke, he looked at the sky outside, then stretched his waist and said, "It's time to pay off." ”
"It's been another hard day."
Chen Feng sighed with emotion and slowly stood up.
“……”
Chen Lu silently watched Chen Feng get up, and wanted to persuade him.
But somehow, he suddenly remembered his previous failures.
Therefore, in the end, he did not say a word.
I have to say that getting used to it is really a terrible thing.
When he was in the Chen family, he had always played the role of a loyal minister.
But when he got here, he slowly got used to Chen Feng's laziness.
It's terrifying!
