The homeless people flocked and were carefully divided into families, orphans, young and strong, old and weak, etc., and others were asked to record where they came from, what was the current situation in the area, and what the situation was......

When these are written, they are all rare pieces of information. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info collected into a chapter, and then submitted back to the government, Chen Sanlang and they saw it, and they learned a lot of recent situations.

Soon, a piece of information caught Chen Sanlang's attention.

The barbarian army occupies the state and county, and in order to survive the winter, it turns out that they have attacked everywhere and plundered resources on a large scale. It's just that the purpose of the barbarian army is to a few nearby places, such as Cao Ping. And Laoshan Mansion escaped because it was far away from the state and county.

Hearing this, Chen Sanlang was secretly happy. With the current strength of Fucheng, if it encounters an attack by a large-scale barbarian army, it will be really difficult to resist.

Although the Shi Po army was defeated and took Maicheng, there were tens of thousands of troops there, and their combat strength was still there. The barbarians were not only brutal, but also brave.

Therefore, if the barbarian army came to invade Laoshan Mansion some time ago, even if Chen Sanlang and they could resist it, they would lose their troops and suffer a big blow.

In comparison, Gaoping Mansion is miserable. Gaoping Mansion originally had a good strength of the righteous army, called the "Gaoping Army", which was not weak, and was on a par with Mo Xuanyi's Dongting Army. Both of these rebel armies responded to the call of the imperial court and went to the prefecture to join Jiang Zhen's army and attack the Shipo army together.

As a result, everyone knows that the first battle was lost, Jiang Zhen died in battle, and the rest was defeated. Mo Xuanyi fled all the way, did not return to Zhongyuan Mansion, but went directly to Chen Sanlang, while the leader of the Gaoping Army chose to lead the remnants to flee back to Gaoping Mansion, thinking of rectifying, resting and recuperating, and making a comeback.

However, the Shi Po army no longer gave them this opportunity, and ordered the generals to attack and attack Gaoping Mansion. Gao Ping's army was defeated again, and this defeat was fatal. Several generals were killed, wounded, and a number of subordinates collapsed into an army, and fled countless times.

The Gao Ping army was destroyed.

Not to mention the Gaoping army, Gaoping Mansion was broken by the barbarian army, burned and plundered, when the barbarian army left, the huge city of Dafu almost became an empty city, ten rooms and nine empty, gone. As long as a small number of people escaped, after a lot of hardships, they fled to the territory of Laoshan Mansion.

From this, Chen Sanlang learned about the situation.

I have to say, in retrospect, it was indeed prescient to set foot on the land of Yongzhou that day and put the first choice in Laoshan Mansion. Not only is it rich in mineral deposits, but it is also strategically located, which is most suitable for stable development.

It's just that this situation can't last long, the harsh winter is coming, and the swords are not moved, but after the cold winter, and when the spring of next year begins, I am afraid that the barbarian army will take action. Laoshan Mansion is so big, the movement is not small, it is impossible to hide it, and when the time comes, what Shi Pojun will have to deal with must be Laoshan.

Because at present, in the entire Yongzhou, in addition to the barbarian army, other forces are left in Laoshan.

If you have foreseen, you should plan.

In fact, he had already started planning, otherwise why would Chen Sanlang be so energetic as to recruit troops? Even if he emptied the public treasury, he would have to train his troops?

These are all preparations for facing the barbarian army.

......

"Childe, there is not much food in the granary. ”

In the public house of the government, Zhou Fencao said to Chen Sanlang.

Chen Sanlang asked: "According to your estimates, how long can it last?"

Zhou Fencao thought for a while: "According to the current consumption, a month at most." ”

For a month, winter has not passed, and the situation is indeed not optimistic. At present, the consumption is mainly for the training of troops, as well as the promotion of the following counties to the displaced people. Both are bottomless pits that need to be filled in continuously, and once broken, there will be some unmanageable consequences.

"Sir, according to your words, how can it be solved?"

Zhou Fencao frowned, quite a bit of a dilemma that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, the current situation, the taxes of the first batch of harvests are basically collected, the proportion is not high, it is better to put all of them into the warehouse for personal use, and there is no need to hand them over to the imperial court, which is okay. It is precisely because of these taxes that we can feed so many displaced people, otherwise, everyone has to eat with a mouth, how can they be raised?

Of course, it is impossible to allow so many people to sit in a refugee camp every day and wait for food, because in that case, they will be idle and will breed trouble. Therefore, as long as there is still the ability to work, they will basically arrange work on the spot, or smelting, or transporting, no matter how poor it is, they can go directly to the mountain to chop firewood or something, they can all be regarded as labor and can contribute.

It's also the wrong season, if it's spring, you can directly open up the wasteland and farm, that's better. However, at the moment, the soil in the fields is frozen, and it is impossible to grow anything.

Because of this, the harvest has basically been cut off, and the huge Laoshan Mansion is basically equivalent to sitting and eating empty mountains. Fortunately, I have been actively preparing and storing grain before, which can be supported.

After thinking about it, Zhou Fencao said: "The current plan is to collect grain, but the price is expensive, and it can't be much." ”

At this stage, the old saying is answered: "The landlord's family has no surplus grain." "Every family regards food as the root of their life in their hands, and they will not sell it easily.

Besides, now in Yongzhou, the environment of the entire state is quite bad, and other places are even poorer, and the possibility of buying grain outside has been cut off.

As the so-called Mainland China is in a difficult situation, there is nothing to do. Wise as Zhou Fencao, he is also worried day and night, and he can't think of any good way.

Chen Sanlang also understands the dilemma he is facing, freezing three feet, not a day's cold, and it is definitely not something that Zhou Fencao and others can solve. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked: "In Yongzhou, there is a big river running through it, called Tongtian River, what I said, right?" ”

Zhou Fencao was stunned for a moment and replied: "Yes, there are six major water systems in the world, the Jingjiang River is one of them, and the Tongtian River is also one of them." ”

Speaking, a stirring in my mind, thinking of when in Jing County, Chen Sanlang and Xiaoyao Fudao did not know how to use it, so that ten thousand fish landed, like a miracle, when countless refugees saw it, they were kneeling on the ground, pious, thinking that it was really the dragon lord appeared, feeling Chen Sanlang's sincerity, so he sent the fish over to solve the dilemma.

Now that Chen Sanlang is talking about Tongtian River, do you want to repeat the old trick and do it again? If this is the case, it is not a method, the fish is delicious, it is a high-quality ration, it is not ordinary and comparable, and the weather is cold in winter, it is suitable for storage, and it is not afraid of spoilage.

Today's Yongzhou, wild birds, beasts and wild vegetables are basically extinct, only the deep mountains and old forests can still hunt and gather, but the Tongtian River is different, the water of this river is majestic, deep and unfathomable, I don't know how many fish live, but they are all food.

Chen Sanlang said leisurely: "Speaking of which, after coming here for a long time, it is time to see this Tongtian River!"
