Bao Long is sincere, who would have thought that a down-and-out emperor would be able to get so much money and grain from Lujiang and Anhui City, although such a large amount of money and grain could not be used for a long time to go out to the army, but it could be poured into the current Jiangting to recover with a dose of fierce medicine, and even allow Li Miao to slowly gather the people to enrich the population and obtain Huainan County.
Then, continue to expand.
Li Miao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looking at this, Li Yin is not up to his responsibility.
With this alone, Tai Shici was already half in his hands, how could Li Miao not be excited?
Li Miao secretly glanced at Tai Shi Ci, but found that Tai Shi Ci didn't seem to hear it, and was still frowning. Li Miao couldn't help but secretly wonder, what is on the mind of this Taishi Ziyi, why is he so worried? Could it be that he really wants to vote for Jiangdong Sun Ce?
Together with Bao Long, Li Miao rode back to Jiangting, and after more than three months, Jiangting's appearance has changed a lot from the beginning, which is simply incomparable.
Jiangting, as Li Miao's last entrenchment and place to turn over, under Lu Mian's gradual planning, Bao Long expanded according to the plan, and has already won a lot of county towns around, and because this place has become a vacuum area, the princes have no intention of grabbing territory with Li Miao at all, Lu Mian has no choice but to vacate the people and land, although he got the land, but there is no way to keep it.
Li Miao raised his eyes and looked at it, now the city wall of Jiangting has been built compared to three months ago, and in the small county town, it is already extraordinary, and His Majesty the Emperor of Zhongguo is in this small county town, how can it be ordinary? Lu Mian has also captured Shouchun, and for Li Miao, there is finally a place where he can work.
Jiangting's county government can't be mixed with the cold anymore.
There was no news of Li Miao's return this time, so except for Bao Long, who had learned the news of the scout before, the others didn't know at all, and when they learned that Li Miao had returned to Jiangting, it didn't take a moment for a series of court officials to ...... Poof, Li Miao blushed, those were the county officials and even county magistrates and others captured by Bao Long, who were left in Jiangting by Bao Long to treat each other politely, and waited until Li Miao came back to deal with them.
Chen Bang is now a small leader in the Yulin Army, among these small leaders, Li Miao knows these people, and they are all generals, without any great talents in his memory, Li Miao couldn't help but burst into tears.
Damn, the puppet emperor counterattacked, and there is a long way to go.
............
"Your Royal Highness, it's too late. Lu Mian said ashamedly, Li Miao had already asked him to rescue King Fu, although it was the scout's unfavorable work that made him Lu Mian late, but Lu Mian still thought that he was to blame, Lu Mian was a loyal general.
Fortunately, Li Yin did not have major casualties, otherwise, Lu Mian may be difficult to explain to Li Miao, and they naturally don't know that Sun Ce came to pursue like crazy, and then jumped back like a rabbit, because Li Miao sent Yan Xiang to mediate in Huang Zu's army, so he was worried and praised him.
"What a providence. ”
"Hehe, General Lu doesn't have to be like this, this time he escaped death, there is no crime of General Lu, I waited until the day before yesterday to inform you, and now we have joined us, and the general is still very fast. ”
Li Yinwan said with a smile, without the slightest look of blame, after a lot of grabbing food, Li Yin's sense of collective honor has been greatly improved, and knowing that Lu Mian is the general of Jiangting, Li Yin will naturally not fight with him.
However, for Li Miao's strategy, if Li Miao's previous talk on paper only made him Li Yin smile bitterly and implement it, the current Li Yin simply thinks that Li Miao's strategy is a ghost opportunity, and he is convinced.
Whether it is the level of the pit people, the timing of the pit people, or the speculation of the people's hearts, His Majesty has all reached a certain level, so they are all triumphant.
Otherwise, it is inevitable that he will become the ghost of Sun Ce's pioneer Han Dang.
"The army is in the rear, I first led these hundreds of cavalry to assist, I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Fu to get so much baggage, it is simply the hope of my Dazhong. Lu Mian said matter-of-factly, "His Royal Highness King Fu is traveling all the way, you might as well take a break for a while, and let us escort you first." ”
Lu Mian saw the dust and servants of King Fu, and said carefully, if Li Yin was tired and sick, he Lu Mian would also be to blame.
Traveling all the way, Li Yin, as everyone's brain, did not have much time to rest, and now that Lu Mian proposed it himself, Li Yin naturally would not disobey his good intentions.
Huang Yi, as a horse, has been on the battlefield, but it is the first time to go to such a tired battlefield, and he has long slept without knowing life and death.
He had already received the news from Li Miao that Jiang Tingtian was a tiger general, and after greeting Li Yin, Lu Mian rushed to the rear and rode to the rear to meet Wu Anguo.
When he saw Wu Anguo, Lu Mian was taken aback, not as Lu Mian imagined, what armor Wu Anguo was wearing, what helmet was wearing, the waist was hanging a quiver, and the heroic demeanor of a strong bow on his back, on the contrary, he couldn't see the thickness of the clothes on Wu Anguo's body, because it was stained with blood, and the blood had dried up, it could be seen that all the way fast, Wu Anguo didn't even have time to change his clothes, which is also a clear proof of Wu Anguo's fighting!
In Lu Mian's eyes, he saw a tower-like general who was more than eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing a bloody shirt, his black skin was partially exposed because of the pierced clothes, his face was a little hideous, and a meteor hammer was held by a general beside him.
This was the first time Lu Mian saw Wu Anguo, and Wu Anguo's appearance gave Lu Mian a great shock.
Lu Mian couldn't help but bow his head, clasped his fists and muttered, "General Wu fought bloodily, I, Jiang Ting Zhongguo, Minggan Wunei! Mian, General Xie sacrificed his life and forgot the grace of death." ”
Wu Anguo knew that this person was the second general of Jiangting under Zhang Xun, and he was seriously injured and ran for thousands of miles, and he was a rare loyal person, so he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic, but Wu Anguo was not as literate and hyphenated as Lu Mian, laughed, and said roughly, "Haha, haha, General Lu said that he laughed, Your Majesty asked me to return to the territory when I was dying, and I should return the body of Your Majesty's horse leather!"
Lu Mian was taken aback, he didn't know why Wu Anguo was dying, and hurriedly asked, "Dying?"
Wu Anguo buckled his head and said embarrassedly, "If a military general can't die on the battlefield, but lives his life in the mountains, General Lu, do you think this is more uncomfortable than a thousand cuts?"
"If it weren't for Your Majesty curing my injuries and enlightening me, I would still be bewitched by others, and I don't know what loyalty and righteousness are, and what is the responsibility of a great husband, so what is the difference between me and the dead?"
After Wu Anguo said this, he was familiar with Lu Mian, and laughed roughly, he Wu Anguo was born in the first battle this time, and there were countless heads, and the enemy camp in the North Sea back then, begging for the rescue of the Dong Alliance, after a lapse of ten years, he wanted to make a new appearance!
It's back again.
Lu Mian thought about it for a while, he had a lot of experience in what Wu Anguo said, during the period of serious injury, he heard that the first emperor died violently and collapsed, and he had to lie on the sickbed for a long time and could not return to Jiangting, the feeling in his heart was also no one to confide in, Wu Anguo's name, he naturally heard it, but he didn't expect that the person with a broken wrist could still be reborn and return to the field.
But fortunately, Wu Anguo's service to Jiang Ting added a great chance of victory for Jiang Ting, who is now almost disabled.
And he, Lu Mian, was also a kind of experience of Wu Anguo at the beginning, and even wanted to die with the first emperor, but when he learned that his son ascended the throne as the emperor, his thoughts of suicide were secretly suppressed by him Lu Mian, and the two looked at each other, they were both hard-working people.
Talking to Wu Anguo, Lu Mian proposed to break it off by himself for the time being, but Wu Anguo politely rejected his kindness, and his subordinates and Wu Anguo have always eaten together, and lived together, now although Lu Mian asked, how could Wu Anguo be embarrassed to open a small stove alone?
Lu Mian saw that Wu Anguo's intention was very resolute, so he didn't say more, and sent his scouts to ask the rear foot soldiers to speed up the march, and transport the money and grain back first.
The foot soldiers received the military order of the main general, did not dare to slack off, hurriedly marched faster, less than two hours, the two sides of the men and horses finally met, Wu Anguo no longer insisted, led the men and horses under the account to rest first, Lu Mian led the account of 600 cavalry, 2,000 foot soldiers, escorted Li Yin in the Lujiang River to obtain the money and grain baggage, went straight to the Jiangting and returned.
On the way, he happened to encounter the news from Bao Long, and learned that Li Miao led more than 1,000 generals and Chen to Tai Shici and returned to Jiangting, Lu Mian's face was full of surprise, and he accelerated the march.
In the twilight, Jiangting City, within the county office, was brightly lit.
Li Miao returned safely, Lu Mian, Li Yin and others escorted all the money and grain in Anhui City to Jiangting, and Wu Anguo returned to Jiangting, Tai Shici also attached for the time being, so, it is reasonable, how can you not have a good drink?
Li Miao led Li Yin, Huang Yi, Tai Shici, Wu Anguo, Lu Mian, Bao Long, Qin Huai, Chen Zhi and other civil and military officers to come to the county government office, drink heartily, celebrate its attack, and discuss the next step together. Tai Shi Ci scoffed at Li Miao's words before, but I have to say that after arriving at Jiang Pavilion, seeing the money and food that Li Yin had taken, Tai Shi Ci was really a little dumbfounded. Li Miao is really, too dark-bellied...... , Tai Shici was speechless. But Tai Shici had already said that if he knew that Li Miao was really a ploy to catch fish this time, he would follow Li Miao, and now it seems that the plan was really designed by Li Miao. During the banquet, Tai Shici didn't say a word, but his heart was already turbulent. But there is something in his heart, Tai Shici can't help but be full of worries, but he is helpless.
"Your Majesty, the old minister lived up to expectations and escorted the money and grain from Anhui City out of the city, thanks to Your Majesty's clever plan!" Li Yin drank up, stroked his somewhat white beard, and the excitement between his eyebrows was simply speechless, as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Uncle has made this great contribution, and the little nephew Minggan is guilty!" Li Yin made a great contribution to the dispatch in the middle, so Li Miao said sincerely, "Money and food in hand, I, Jiang Ting, will rise with this!"
"Your Majesty's words are very true. Li Yin said sincerely.
"Uncle, I collected thousands of refugees on the way back, and I am willing to return with me, I have promised them, there are many refugees in Huainan who have left home, ten rooms and nine empty, and they are starving all over the wilderness, uncle, tomorrow you will register them and compile them into my Jiangting to enrich the population. Li Miao drank a glass of wine, looked at Li Yin and said, no way, he is a literate and hyphenated, now at this time the south is still very uninteresting, there is no prosperous city, there is no special economic zone, it is simply a wild place!
Although Huainan is not as close to the south as Jiangdong, because Li Miao's cheap father's taxes were too heavy before, and Li Shu had been desolate for several years, he was completely out of business, and there were no people, no soldiers and horses, how could he live? Li Miao had to do this, at least, Li Miao had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, so that he could straighten his waist and walk.
"Of course, Your Majesty!" Li Yin said with a smile, seeing that Jiang Ting could be thriving, could he be in a bad mood?
"However, Your Majesty, we can enrich the people, how should this grain and grass be solved?" Li Yin is in charge of internal affairs, and Jiang Ting can't let Jiang Ting come out of this money, so he will have to pay for it? So Li Yin has to ask this question.
"What if the people are asked to reclaim the land and grow food?" Li Miao asked with a frown, he still didn't know anything about this kind of thing, so he could only ask first. If you can plant it, you will naturally have to plant it, otherwise you will not have to harvest it next year, Li Miao can know that this Yangzhou Huainan area is the land of fish and rice, wouldn't it be a pity if you don't grow food?
"Your Majesty, the sowing season has passed. Li Yin immediately heard that Li Miao wanted to use money and food to feed them temporarily, and it would be better if he couldn't grow food.
Li Yin had to smile bitterly, Li Miao didn't know about this kind of thing, but he Li Yin had to think carefully, a group of martial artists were here, he was a good housekeeper.
"Can't you grow grain?" Li Miao frowned and thought about it, if there was no food, Li Miao had to think about it, he had to think about the soldiers and horses under his account, if he distributed the grain and grass to the refugees, but he could not receive the grain in the coming year, then his soldiers and horses might not be able to get the grain and grass, and he would have to starve to death! Moreover, with the money and silk he obtained, Li Miao could no longer buy grain and grass, because he also had to add armor, weapons, and war horses to the army...... There are many places to spend money.
"Gotta figure figure it out. Li Miao couldn't help muttering to himself, the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, if there is no grain and grass, then there is no need to talk about it, if there is grain and grass but there is no way to develop, it is a bit of a cheat.
If you want to develop, unless you develop locally, you must have the people, but if you can't even settle the refugees, what ability does Li Miao have to dominate the world? After all, most of Huainan is now a terra nullius, as long as it begins to expand gradually in Jiangting, Li Miao can easily get Huainan County, and then distribute land to the people. Therefore, it is imperative that these people can survive on their own, so that taxes can be collected, soldiers can be conscripted, and Jiangting can develop. "How can we grow food?"
Li Miao slowly ruled out in his heart that if it was the most difficult land and cold grain, it should be potatoes. Yes, it's potatoes! Potatoes do not have much demand for land, and they should not have much requirements for the season, and the yield of potatoes per mu is really large. Even in the event of severe cold, the reduced potato production would have been enough to sustain the army's food rations. Li Miao suddenly realized, and suddenly a smile bloomed on the corner of his lips. Li Yin looked a little frightened, what is this Your Majesty doing, is his brain broken? How can he laugh so much, don't you know that he is struggling now?
"Uncle, do you know where there are potatoes?" Li Miao suddenly asked coldly. "Horse ...... Lingshu?" Li Yin was stunned, what is this? How is it unheard of?"That uncle, have you ever heard of sweet potatoes?" Li Miao asked during the banquet, and the generals did not dare to talk. "Sweet potato?" Li Yin's head swelled even more, what kind of game is Your Majesty playing? "Your Majesty, what kind of melon is this sweet potato?"
Huang Yi asked with a big grin on the side, "Can you eat it?" Li Miao saw everyone's expressions, and he knew it, looking at the performance of Li Yin, Huang Yi and even Qin Huai Chen, Li Miao understood, although you are a big family or a child of a poor family, you don't know about this potato, which means that the potato has not been brought back yet, or it has not been promoted. "Haha, this is God's will, God's will let me add bricks and tiles to the basic agricultural facilities of the Han Dynasty!".
Li Miao laughed, in this way, it is really a double win, and a certain country in the future of the province is as thick-skinned as a city wall, and he can't wait for all the local products in China to be his ancestors. It's really his ancestor's ball! Li Miao scolded secretly in his heart, but said secretly, "Uncle, I already have an idea, and I will discuss this matter with you tomorrow." ”
Li Yin didn't know what medicine Li Miao was selling, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" After talking to Li Yin, Li Miao exchanged pleasantries with the generals again.
