With the propaganda of the caravan extending in all directions, the displaced people gathered in the east of the river from all directions, and only at the beginning of autumn, there were some signs of saturation, busy with the officials who entered the household, and the school captain who was worried about the food, while the displaced people were still gathering in a steady stream.

"Lord, this is a book of money and grain, in March, I am afraid that the grain will bottom out, if the number of displaced people increases sharply in the cold winter, I am afraid that it will not survive the autumn."

Huangfu Biao opened the roster of all kinds of income and expenditure brought by Jia Xu, and while recruiting troops and buying horses was booming, money and grain were also consumed like a whirlwind, and compared with the urgency of expanding armaments, the heavy task of stabilizing the displaced people was constantly relieved, and even this problem was ignored.

"Zhou Cang Liaohua, how many soldiers and horses are there now?"

Zhou Cang came out of the queue and replied, "Five thousand knife hands!" ”

Liao Hua came out of the queue and replied, "Three thousand shield hands!" ”

Huangfu Biao felt that this was not enough at all, only 8,000 foot soldiers, and this was not yet time to recruit riders, because the first recruited riders were all allocated to Ding Yuan, 10,000 soldiers, 3,000 healthy horses, it is estimated that even people with horses are surnamed Ding, who let themselves not have a good general who leads the cavalry.

"Is there a good way to do it?"

"The first is to ask the imperial court for help, not to mention disaster relief and grain distribution, you can also buy grain from Jiangnan at a low price in the name of the imperial court. The second is to reduce the number of displaced people and only accept the young and strong. ”

Jia Xu's two strategies are top priorities, but there are also difficulties, the first strategy is afraid that the imperial court will not be able to take care of it, and this grain will not be approved. The second strategy is easy to lose trust with the people, and it is extremely difficult to grasp this measure, and it is difficult to arouse public anger and trigger a civil uprising.

Huangfu Biao rubbed his temples with his fingers, it was really a problem, and it was really not easy to do a self-made business. Now that Hedong has made no achievements, with the performance of a few households, it is difficult to say that Emperor Moving Spirit continues to invest, and he is an empty shelf.

"Wenhe, do you think it's okay-"

Huangfu Biao's eyes became delicate, and he felt like a chicken thief, Jia Xu was panicked when he saw it, this lord had absolutely no good intentions, and asked casually: "Lord, you don't want to steal, do you?!" ”

Huangfu Biao really wants to steal, if you get rich, you will make a windfall, stealing is certain, but who to steal has not yet been decided, as we all know, who has the money to steal whom, and now only Jizhou has a bumper harvest of grain, it seems that you can only go to Yecheng to visit.

"A reader can't say stealing, he has to say stealing!"

Jia Xu was directly speechless, his title of poisoner can be completely given to Huangfu Biao, shameless, mercenary, the first thing he thought of when he didn't have food and grass was stealing, which was done by a gentleman.

"Wenhe, don't be in a hurry, this thief will be punished, and the thief is the prince, and he didn't say who he stole from, what if he stole a foreigner?"

Jia Xu once again admired Huangfu Biao, the pattern is really very grand, it is simply a chess game in the world. When he was thinking about pretending to be the remnants of Montenegro to rob Jizhou, the lord set his sights on the outside of the fortress, but this difficulty was extremely high, the Huns Xianbei came and went like the wind and had no fixed place, so they couldn't avoid it, how could they rob and steal it?

"Lord, this is a risky move!"

Jia Xu had already guessed Huangfu Biao's intentions, but he felt that the chances of winning were not great.

"Take the five counties of Jinyang as bait, lure the enemy to go deeper, close the door and beat the dogs in Yanmen County, and then send surprise troops to rob the livestock they pasture outside the Saiwai to make military rations, if the plan is right, the Huns will not dare to go south to graze horses for five years!"

"The cavalry is in the hands of Ding Yuan, and the five counties of Jinyang will be sacrificed, I'm afraid it won't be dispatched by us——"

Jia Xu felt that this was a big gamble, the five counties of Jinyang were bargaining chips, Ding Yuan was afraid that he didn't have the guts to come to this gamble, it seemed that it was Huangfu Biao who was the banker, but who was sure that there was a gambling god?

"You might as well make two preparations, one is that Zhou Cang Liaohua pretended to be a black mountain thief, got out of the pot and entered the mountain, whether it was robbing merchants or kidnapping tickets for extortion, as long as the food was transported, it was transported back to Xie Liang by water. The second is to interview Ding Yuan, and even meet with Gongsun Zhan, trap and kill the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, and win a great victory, so as to report to the court for grain. Time is running out, so let's get through it! ”

Everyone shouted and went to get busy.

Huangfu Biao went north again to envoy Jinyang, Jia Xu went south to buy grain, Zhou Cang Liaohua led scouts and 600 elites east out of Huguan to rob the road, the three strive to store enough grain for half a year, survive the autumn harvest next year, Juntun should be able to solve the problem of food shortage.
