General Fuhan's Mansion.

Inside the backyard hall. Wu Nian was dressed very casually, sitting on the main seat, with a thoughtful look on his face. On the coffee table next to it, there was an open letter.

"General. Are you looking for us? Not long after, Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Wang Youxiao, and Zhang Haiping walked in from outside. Liu Zhixing led everyone and bowed to salute.

"This was sent by Lu Sheng, the prefect of Guangchuan. You all take a look. Wu Nian picked up the letter and stood up, handed it to Liu Zhixing, and sat back.

Such an exchange of official documents. Lu Sheng, the prefect's excerpt, will be handed to the Fuhan General's Mansion first. That is, the person who sees it first will be Liu Zhixing.

And this letter turned out to be handed directly to Wu Nian.

Something extraordinary must have happened.

Liu Zhixing and the others all showed different colors, and then looked down at the letterhead.

"Uh-huh?!!!" Everyone was surprised at first, then overjoyed, and finally suspicious.

"General. This Kyogoku family is really unfathomable. Her fleet was not only able to break through the blockade of pirates, but also to buy food from the state of Chu. It's incredible. ”

Liu Zhixing frowned, raised his head and said in a deep voice.

"Sit down first." Wu Nian raised his right hand and asked everyone to sit down first. Then he nodded and said, "I used to overestimate this Kyogoku family. Now it seems that the energy of this family is greater than I thought. And the plot must be bigger than you think. ”

"We need to be vigilant. But don't worry too much. When I had 300 elite soldiers in the year of Wu, I dared to start a war with the Mengyuan people. What's more, this little Kyogoku family? Although I am grateful to Kyogoku Yukiri for sending charcoal in the snow this time, I will not be stupid enough to do it I can't. Or something that would do us a lot of damage. ”

"Hmm." Everyone nodded slightly. Sending charcoal in the snow must be grateful. But if the other party is coerced to repay the favor, it depends on the situation.

It would be stupid to rigidly hold the idea that "favors must be returned".

It is natural to repay the favor, but it also depends on the scope of ability.

The letter said. Jinggoku Snow will come to Jiang County. When she came, I just asked. Let's put this matter aside for now. ”

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Wu Nian's face and said, "No matter what. We have 6 million catties of grain, and we will be able to hold on until next autumn. ”

"You don't have to take the initiative to start a war with Meng Yuan, Goguryeo, and Chu State, it's really a big stone in my heart, and my whole body is a few pounds lighter."

Wu Nian is not afraid of going to war, but he is afraid that after the war, the casualties will be too great. And. was led by Chunyuan, he was very unhappy.

Now that you have broken the situation of pure distance, you have the initiative in your own hands, and you can start a war whenever you want.

Two words.

Joyfully.

"That's what the general said. It's really a few pounds loose. Li Yong raised his right hand and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and said with a wry smile.

Now the people and displaced people in Yingqing and Gwangcheon have combined to more than 2 million. And food is insufficient. They held on, but it was really hard.

"Hehehe." The other three also smiled, their faces relaxed.

"And now not only does it not need to be one against three. We also received four or five hundred thousand displaced people, and expanded Li Tianbao's navy to reach 10,000 households. It can be said that the strength has increased greatly, like a tiger with wings. ”

Liu Zhixing's face showed a smile, he looked up at Wu Nian, and arched his hand and said, "Chunyuan drove the homeless people over in an attempt to starve us to death. But the end result. But stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice. It's cheaper for us. ”

Although a little cruel.

But in this era, the development of the country is inseparable from the population. With the influx of displaced people, the population of Wu Nian increased by almost a quarter.

It's pretty scary. This means that next year's spring ploughing will open up more acres of land and produce more grain. Mine more ore and have a larger pool of troops.

Yingqing Province, Gwangcheon Province. Before the plague in Mengyuan, the population was dense, and land development was close to the limit. Then the plague epidemic killed many people.

The Mengyuan people went south, and many fled to Liaodong.

Wu Nian raised troops in Yingqing Mansion, and the people of Yingqing Mansion suffered many casualties. This field is full of desolation. These displaced people can be quickly settled.

This time.

Chunyuan is a meat to the tiger and humiliates himself.

"Hahaha!!!" Wu Nian and the others laughed when they heard this, and they were very happy. The depression was swept away, and the coolness came up all of a sudden.

After laughing for a while, Wu Nian put away his smile, raised his head and said to everyone, "Although this time we won." But the win was not decent. It's not our strength. Rather, thanks to the rice of the Kyogoku family. Just be happy, but if you get carried away because of it, it's bad. ”

"Our strength is too thin, and there are too many troops."

"And now the problem of displacement is still there. You have to be careful when opening a porridge factory. Don't mess around. ”

"The order goes down. Let Chen Jiagui continue to stare at Nanhai Mansion and Wang Zhongbi's situation. ”

"The captains of the various ministries are still stepping up their preparations for war. The first battle of Nanhai Mansion is imperative. ”

"Let Li Tianbao step up his training and sweep away the pirates. And also. We need to keep in touch with the Kyogoku family and the rest of the big businessmen. Bid, bid. Stockpiling grain. ”

"Eat a trench, grow a wisdom. We must store a large amount of grain, a large amount of grain. So that nothing like this happens again. ”

"This time it's lucky, and next time it's going to be slaughtered."

In the end, Wu Nian's tone and expression were very serious. This time, it was not because of strength that I got through the difficulties.

Wu Nian didn't like this way.

Only when you have food in your hands can you not be in a hurry. It doesn't matter if you grow it in the land, buy it, or grab it. Stockpiling grain, a large amount of stockpiling grain.

It's king.

"Yes." Everyone was also apprehensive about this time, and when they heard this, they were suddenly awe-inspired, and they clenched their fists loudly.

"Huh. Let's all go down. Wu Nian smiled, raised his hand and let everyone go down.

"Kyogoku Yukiri, what is your identity?" Wu Nian stood up and walked to Liu Zhixing's seat just now, bent down and picked up Lu Sheng's letter from the coffee table, with a look of suspicion on his face.

Intuition tells Wu Nian that Kyogoku Yukiri may not be a Fuso person.

That's the people of Chu?

Why should she help me? What is she planning?

Two more days passed.

This morning. In front of General Fuhan's door, Wu Nian was wearing a purple robe with narrow sleeves, a golden crown on his head, and no sword, standing with his head held high.

Soon after. Amid the sound of wheels, a group of samurai came to the door with a carriage in front of them. The carriage stopped, and a small snow-white and tender hand lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing the almost perfect face of Kyogoku Yukiri.

She got out of the carriage with the support of the maid and walked in front of Wu Nian in small steps. He bowed and saluted: "General Lao is waiting here, and he is terrified in the snow." ”

"Nope. That's as it should be. You have saved the lives of many Han people. I am grateful to you. Wu Nian shook his head, and then invited, "Please." ”
