"What did you say?" Liang Cheng glared at Ling Yun, plucked out his ears and asked again.

Ling Yun grinned, "I just received news that there are many people in Chenzhou who want to come to us, and there are also people in several state capitals near Chenzhou who are rushing to the edge of the Lanjiang River. ”

The court and King Zhao both dislike the crowd, they don't dislike it, if someone comes, the more the better, anyway, now those scattered tribes on the grassland are also scattered by them, fleeing, and more are captured.

Even if northern Hubei wants to move its borders to the northern grasslands by tens or hundreds of kilometers, who would dare to have an opinion?

Of course, this kind of thing is very complicated, and Ling Yun just thinks about it, if he really wants to do that, it is definitely not something he can decide.

After Liang Cheng made sure that the news was fine, he clapped his hands, "This is a good thing, let's think about how to take them over......"

Seeing him pacing around the room, Zheng Shicheng shook his head, looked at Sheng Ze and said, "Your Highness, what do you think?" ”

Ezhou has a vast territory, but there is not much land suitable for cultivation, and now it can feed so many people, all thanks to the high-yield crops that the six girls of the Shen family have led people to study.

Once it is decided to accept the people from Chenzhou, the granary that has just been harvested is afraid that it will bottom out again.

Sheng Ze didn't answer this question, but pondered carefully, and after a while, he looked at Zhang Zhiyao and asked, "Lord Zhang, how much wasteland is there in Ezhou that can be reclaimed to grow food?" ”

Not all wastelands are suitable for growing food.

Zhang Zhiyao, as the governor of a state, these data were naturally in his mind, and after hearing Sheng Ze's question, he blurted out: "In addition to the wasteland we have reclaimed this year and those prisoners are reclaiming, there are nearly 200,000 acres of wasteland that has not been included in the scope of reclamation. ”

He is still talking about conservative data, after all, some wasteland is not suitable for growing food, but after reclamation, fruit trees can be planted.

When Sheng Ze heard this number, he had a bottom in his heart, and looked at Liang Chengdao: "Uncle Liang, it is impossible for King Zhao to watch the people flow into Ezhou, and he will definitely control it, so that there will definitely not be many people who will finally arrive in Ezhou, I think we can accept them all." ”

Judging from his understanding of King Zhao, there will definitely be no more than 50,000 people who can come to Ezhou, so this autumn's harvest of these grains will be enough to support them until the next season's harvest.

If the Northern Hubei Army wants to hoard grain, it must reclaim wasteland and expand the planting area, and the population of Ezhou is far from enough.

However, more than 100,000 captives were left behind, and it was difficult to take a good harvest to catch their breath, and it was impossible to accept too many refugees from the six northwestern states at this time.

"Isn't it inappropriate?" Zheng Shicheng frowned, "There are more and more people coming, and we won't be able to store any food." ”

He feared that war might break out at any time, and that he would not be able to fight without food.

"Lord Zheng doesn't have to worry, I have a separate batch of grain, even if there is a sudden war, I will not let the soldiers go hungry to fight." Sheng Ze said seriously.

At the end of the autumn harvest a few days ago, he specially asked Shen Qingqian to collect a batch of grain from her, and his own storage ring was also full of strategic materials, which no one knew except Liang Cheng.

Of course, the rhetoric used this time is already Xuanji Mountain.

"In that case, let's start preparing to accept refugees." Zheng Shicheng was immediately relieved when he heard this, he was already familiar with the matter of settling people to live in Ezhou, and he did it according to the people they "stole" before.
