After nightfall, the grain was counted and loaded, and Cao Hong ordered 500 people in the Yingshui camp and sent them to Cao Ren's army, who escorted the grain.

His troops were stationed in Yecheng, and he himself had to go back to Jizhou.

So thousands of carts and horses set off with grain, including cloth, gold, silver and jade, all kinds of spices, wood, wine and other treasures that can be called good products, all the way to follow the carriage and horses on the road, sent to Jizhou.

In less than 20 days, they arrived at the camp outside the Qing River.

Xu Zhen came out of the government office, watched at the gate of the barracks, and watched Dian Wei lead people to collect some goods, put the grain in the granary, and then put the gold and cloth into the warehouse.

At the same time, another convoy was Cao Ang's tribe, which sent a large amount of iron ore, iron, wood, five baht coins, etc., and all military funds were readily available, including the most basic food, which was completely enough for the people and sergeants to eat until the autumn harvest next year.

What has been troubled for so long was suddenly solved.

"Very good, the bet was right, Ziyu really didn't disappoint me."

Xu Zhen nodded with satisfaction, turned back to Zhuge Liang and smiled, "Now, Jizhou will be prosperous!" ”

Under the effect of [Centennial Ming Officials], the harvest in Jizhou will increase by 30% next year, and the harder the spring ploughing, the more harvest achievements will be in the autumn!

Xu Zhen couldn't help but glance at the system panel again, and sure enough, a prompt sound came soon.

[Limited Time Mission: Resettle the Displaced and Restore Prosperity]

[Completion: 100%]

[Status: Completed]

[You resettle the displaced people, restore the prosperity of Jizhou, continue to govern for 126 days, advance and retreat with the people, stick to your post and never slack off, discipline yourself and deny yourself, and God rewards diligence]

[Gain self-discipline value "30000"; Obtained "ten catties of cotton seeds", "ten catties of potato seeds", and "ten years of life"; Obtain the "Longevity Pill"; Gain "+3 in Internal Affairs" and "7 Days of Freedom"]

[Longevity Pill: Extend the life span by three years, the host is not edible, and the relationship can be fixed by giving it to others as "life and death together, never betrayed", if you are seriously ill, you can cure the disease, and if you are a woman, you can maintain your beauty. 】

[Internal Affairs: 101]

[Lifespan: 113 years]

[Self-discipline value: 103080]

Seeing this, Xu Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, especially when he saw the self-discipline value, he looked at the mountains of family property like a miser, and his face was overflowing with joy.

If you have 100,000, you can exchange it for one trait at any time, and you can also improve one of them.

For example, [Martial Heart] and [Han Soul].

Or [Heroic Wind].

The four characteristics that are most effective at the moment, as for the [Iron Kidney], it is related to the body's physique, which is important but not so important, and you can think about it later.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Zhen decided to stock up for another period of time, and then use it to exchange for life.

Longevity pills can be given to others, used to win people's hearts, and can also be used to save lives.

"Cotton seeds, next year can be mass-produced cotton, used as clothing to keep out the cold, to make cotton nails."

Xu Zhen immediately lost his eyes, and he had a plan in his heart.

He was confident that the people of the whole territory would obey the decree, because after more than 100 years of internal affairs, the ability to transcend the mundane world would make it easier to enforce the decree, and the people would not be too suspicious of the current orders.

"Junhou, General Zixiao asks to see."

At this moment, Dian Wei walked quickly from outside the tent, his face was serious, his eyes were slightly angry, and after speaking, he sneered directly: "It's all like this, it's gone." ”

"This grain was given by the lord and the eldest prince, and the rest of the generals are estimated to be very aggrieved, and they can't say anything good, so I can't help it."

Dian Wei is among the generals with foreign surnames, his reputation is outside, and he is very afraid of all sides, and all generals are also very jealous, even if it is the general of the Cao family, he will not have any conflict with Dian Wei.

Xu Zhen thought for a moment, taking advantage of the fact that he was in a good mood now, and it was a free day, it didn't hurt to chat with Cao Ren, "Please come in, the main tent will set up a banquet and prepare some hard dishes." ”

Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "What kind of hard dishes do you want?" Do you want to eat my euphorbia!? ”

"I don't want to eat, I'll just ask the cook to prepare the two of you, and the other generals don't want to see it, so I'll count the food,"

Dian Wei is hard, but his heart is also very angry, and his words are full of words with guns and sticks, so that Xu Zhen doesn't know how to persuade, "Brother Zixiao, I still understand, he shouldn't be as small as other generals, and he can't look down on others." ”

"Don't forget, the more than 2,000 people in the Southeast Elementary School Camp were generously given to me by him, these people are all your henchmen, and now they are all military officials."

"Hmph," Dian Wei snorted lightly, his face changed slightly, he calmed down with a long sigh of relief, and said, "That's it, for the sake of him sending food, I'll go and call the logistics to set up a banquet." ”

Not long after, Cao Ren entered the main tent, glanced at Xu Zhen from afar, immediately smiled, and walked quickly.

Soon arrived in front of him, held Xu Zhen's hand, and said with a smile: "800,000 stone grains, emptied half of Xu Du's stored grain." ”

"It's really enviable, but Jizhou is a heavy land, a large land, rich in aquatic products, if it recovers a year earlier, it can become the mainstay of various states and counties earlier, and produce countless grains."

"Bowen has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he must not live up to the expectations of the generals, my Cao clan relatives have allocated tens of thousands of dollars after the pension and reward, so it is the Cao family to raise the strength of the whole clan to fund Bowen to strengthen Jizhou."

"Please, don't brag about it?" Xu Zhen said calmly, he didn't even have a tone when he interrupted, why hadn't he seen him for a few months, and he had added the ability to talk nonsense.

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, his old face was slightly red, but he still maintained his original bearing and was not caught off guard immediately.

"That's it, the generals do have high hopes," Xu Zhen laughed again, "Looking forward to the prosperity and strength of Jizhou, with this grain subsidy, Jizhou will no longer have a shortage of food until next year's autumn harvest, so the people of Jizhou should thank the general." ”

"Well, Bowen is a lot, admirable!"

"Brother, please, I have asked the cook to prepare a dinner party, entertain my brother and the brother who escorted the grain and grass, although Jizhou is short of food, but now there is no shortage of this meal, brother don't worry too much, just drink tonight, patrol and probe I have been arranged tightly, no need to worry."

"This," Cao Ren suddenly felt flattered, he originally planned to enter the barracks to see Xu Zhen, just to say a few polite words, to ease the previous embarrassing atmosphere, lest Xu Zhen be dissatisfied in his heart, keep holding a grudge, and by the way, also probe the attitude of the generals under his command.

After all, these generals are not well-known generals, such as Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhao Yun, all of whom are well-known fierce generals who have made great contributions on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang.

Moreover, there are Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong, both of whom have had shocking and famous battles, and Huang Zhong also beheaded Wen Chou, so he boosted the morale of the army, and then there was a big defeat.

According to the general Zhang He, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou were silent about the six generals under Xu Zhen, and the talk changed.

For Xu Zhen, he felt even more unpredictable, and the military spirit had been completely defeated.

At the dinner, Xu Zhen drank more than a dozen bowls of wine with Cao Ren, which shocked Cao Ren at the amount of Xu Zhen's alcohol, which was so large that it was jaw-dropping, and he began to blush and get drunk after drinking a bowl, but soon returned to normal.

It seems that the power of hangover is extremely fast, and it can be cured in less than a stick of incense, which makes Cao Ren's heart full of shock, but after more than a dozen bowls, he has no way to think about these anymore, so he can only continue to resist the siege of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and gradually it is difficult to support himself, and finally falls on the case.

When he woke up, Cao Ren was already on the carriage back, his head was a little dizzy, but it didn't hurt much, indicating that he had drunk good wine yesterday.

"Where is this?"

"Home, General." Inside the carriage, Xu Huang was taking care of Cao Ren, and responded calmly and seriously.

Cao Ren sat up, rubbed his head, and after his vision was blurred and confused, he shook his head a few times bitterly, and slowly became clear.

At this time, some memories also followed, and he sighed heavily, "Damn, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, those two bastards." ”

Yesterday, at least 30 bowls were poured into him, not to mention wine, even if he drank so much water, he couldn't stand it, and he didn't know how many times he went to the toilet in one night.

"These two reckless men."

Cao Ren sighed deeply.

Xu Huang has a big waist and a round waist, a beard and dark skin, which looks relatively rough, and he has never worn a helmet on his head, but he wraps his hair with a square scarf, so that it will not be scattered and easy to take care of.

At this time, his beard moved, and he grinned: "General, do you remember what you said last night?" ”

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully, but found that he couldn't think of anything, so he chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What did you say!?" I didn't say anything indecent, did I? ”

Xu Huang smiled bitterly and said bluntly: "Attack Yuan." ”

"The general said the plan to attack Yuan."

As soon as Xu Huang mentioned this, Cao Ren's mind was immediately stunned, and then the memories gradually came like a tide, and he suddenly remembered that the tone of Dian Wei and Xu Chu last night was too yin and yang, which made Cao Ren uncomfortable, so he talked about Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.

The two brothers now have a lot of soldiers and horses in Youzhou and Bingzhou, and it is not easy to capture them all, and even have to pay a great price to win.

How difficult it is for Jizhou to win a big victory alone, so Cao Ren was also influenced by Cao Hong, and took advantage of the wine to say "If you have the ability, you will take Youzhou down, and all the generals of the Cao family have nothing to say", this sentence, Dian Wei listened to it.

And made a bet that he would definitely capture Youzhou, and even guard against merging the state at the same time, without relying on the rest of the army!

In terms of negative energy, Xu Zhen actually didn't stop it, so he said more and more solemnly, and the people around him couldn't persuade him.

For a while, Cao Ren was also bitter, and it was difficult to end when the words came out, "Then how did I get to the carriage?" ”

When Xu Huang heard this question, he patted his thigh with a smile, and after laughing a few times, he shook his head and said: "Because of this, people drove us away directly, and it was inevitable that the secrets in the army would be leaked, and the general should wait and see, and in a year, he will definitely capture Youzhou." ”

"It's easier said than done." Cao Ren muttered to himself.

Xu Huang put away his little smile and said, "What if it really happens?" ”

"It's a big hit, who dares to say anything? In addition to the praise and no gossip, I still remember that I said that if they attacked alone, they would not go into the defense to take over, right? ”

"Yes, I did."

"It's a mistake to drink."

Xu Huang remained silent, and said indifferently: "Not necessarily, drinking alcohol can also arouse heroic spirit, the general may wish to be magnificent, if it is Kecheng, he should treat each other calmly, and congratulate him from the bottom of his heart, Jizhou alone destroyed Yuan Xi in Youzhou, which is also a good story." ”

"That's a good point."

……

At the end of the fifth year of Jian'an, it was cold in Jizhou, the people did not go out at home, the merchant horses were scarce, only the official merchant horse team was left to move around, the weather was cold and frozen, and the river did not flow.

Fortunately, the food was distributed, the firewood was collected, and the coal mine was divided into the people's homes, so that although there was no one in various places, there was no hunger everywhere, and the people recited Xu Zhen's good at home.

Some families even carved a portrait of Xu Zhen with wood clay, and secretly worshiped it as a god in order to offer incense.

In addition, all the doctors in the medical hall led by Hua Tuo are stationed in various places, and those who have cold diseases are immediately treated, and medicines are distributed to treat diseases, and there are not many people who die of cold diseases all winter, only a thousand, most of them are old people, women and children.

Compared with the previous winter, it has been called the mercy of God, and the people are overjoyed and celebrated, and the funeral is sent at home.

In this way, in the cold and calm, I spent a winter.

Jian'an for six years.

After the beginning of spring, the people in the streets and fields gradually increased, Xu Zhen ordered the counties to start tuntian, in the tuntian, deliberately occupied a hundred acres of land, spread the new seeds, sent people to take care of it day and night, specially reconciled and fertilized, and asked the generals and soldiers to guard.

Xu Zhen personally went to the field to cultivate, never slacking off every day, and during the two months of spring ploughing, he kept going in and out of the field, taking the Su Wei and the people to plow the land, and personally taking care of that piece of soil.

The people of Jizhou were greatly moved, so they worked harder in all parts of the country, cultivating the land day and night, opening mulberry mo, repairing water conservancy, and mining minerals.

Tree planting is also taken into account.

After the silence of the whole winter, the spring ploughing is unusually hot, and the people around the country have not seen such a hot scene for many years, not to mention that the people have not seen it, and the scholars have never seen it, this is the scene of the prosperous era.

Even, many displaced people who fled from Youzhou to Jizhou for resettlement are rumored everywhere that Xu Zhen has the style of Liu Yu back then, and even more than that, and is closer to the people.

Although Liu Youzhou is known all over the world for his benevolence and virtue, he will not work in the field in person and enjoy it, and at this point, Xu Zhen is even more moved by the people.

Until the end of spring, the fields in the counties were green and the situation was excellent.

May.

Xu Zhen recruited more than 30,000 new soldiers in Jizhou and expanded the army to 200,000.

At the same time, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang broke out again into a fight, and after the state was eliminated.

Yuan Shang, as the leader of the Yuan family, asked Yuan Xi to give up Youzhou Daijun, Shanggu and other places.

and paid food to support his father's soldiers, Yuan Xi categorically refused, and even whipped the envoy, so Yuan Shang ordered Guo Tu to attack Daijun and cross the border of Jizhou to directly grab grain.

The local people were miserable, and because of the trampling of horses' hooves, countless farmland was trampled.

When Xu Zhen received the military order, he ordered Gao Shun, who was stationed in Zhongshan, to garrison the border pass with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and sent patrols to investigate the news, but he did not make any moves.

He has to wait and see, the fighting methods of these two brothers are estimated to have just begun.

At the same time, Xu Zhen also let go out, except for 800,000 stone grain subsidies in Jizhou, there were no soldiers and horses to help, giving people the illusion that Xu Zhen was still raising soldiers.

He didn't dare to send troops at will to destroy the peace in the territory, so the two brothers could fight boldly with confidence.
