"This…Sir, there really is a way!？”
Xu Shu stared at him with a burning gaze, and Xi Zhicai was even more confused.
This was no joke.
Zhao Feng had a calm expression on his face, and there was no panic in his eyes. After drinking another mouthful of tea, he smiled and said,"What's so difficult about it?"
"It's nothing more than money."
When Xi Zhicai heard this, he immediately stood up. He thought that there was really a way, but it seemed that it was just the arrogance of a merchant family.
"My lord! Not only that! You have to know that if we sponsor millions of refugees this year, it means that we won't be able to get back next year's harvest!”
"This, definitely won't do!"
They wanted to have a good reputation. After they arrived in Youzhou, they trained every day, recruited generals, and bought horses.
He used most of his remaining wealth to exchange for military equipment.
It was to make contributions and make the name of Youzhou's army famous. He wanted to be on par with the famous generals and ministers of the Great Han Dynasty.
However, it was definitely not that easy to wait!
In the past, he had been looking forward to an opportunity to gain fame.
Now, it had come.
Millions of refugees!
Needless to say, the refugees who couldn't survive in Jizhou Province would also come here. The population of the Great Han Dynasty had been constantly lost in the disasters in the last years of the Han Dynasty. There were frozen bones on the way!
There were even shocking rumors of people eating people along the way!
How were they going to accept these people?
After Xi Zhi finished speaking, the entire hall suppressed Rockwen.
No one dared to speak.
Zhao Feng was still drinking his tea while the other strategists were ashen. No one could do anything.
Even Xu Shu felt that his lord had taken things for granted.
That was not something that could be solved with money.
If food was distributed this year, what would happen next year?
What about the people of Youzhou?!
These were all problems that could not be ignored.
"Everyone, why aren't you continuing?”Zhao Feng suddenly blinked and asked.
"I thought you guys had some brilliant ideas…"
When Xu Shu and Xi Zhicai heard this, both of them were speechless.
If there was, wouldn't I have said so earlier?
Cai Yong was a little disappointed.
It had to be said that even though he had come here to obtain ancient scrolls worth thousands of gold and rare books, he was actually looking forward to this young man.
No matter what, Zhao Feng had relied on his identity as a commoner to complete an almost impossible transformation from a merchant family to the Prefecture Overseer of Youzhou.
Such a person must have a far-reaching plan.
Unexpectedly, he was just a merchant.
Alas, the Great Han Dynasty is dead.
"Sir, this is not a problem that can be solved with money…"
Xu Shu sat next to Zhao Feng, his face pale.
"Why not?" Zhao Feng laughed. As long as they managed to gather a million disaster victims this year, they would naturally have a huge harvest next year.”
"It's such a simple logic, why are you all frowning?”
He looked at Xu Shu and then at the opera talent as if he couldn't figure it out.
It gave people a feeling of…slapping their faces.
That smile and gaze seemed to be saying…that's it?!
Just like that, he was still looking down on the talents of the world every day, looking down on this duke and that minister?!
He actually had to worry about such a thing?
"Simple?"
Cai Yong seemed a little angry.
Because he couldn't think of a way.
Hearing the Prefecture Overseer's words, he was a little unconvinced.
As soon as these words were spoken, even Zhuge Liang, who was copying not far away, revealed a puzzled expression.
Was it really simple?
"Daren, tell me, will you use up your last fortune when you open the granary this year?”
"Yes, and I need to distribute them carefully.”
Zhao Feng replied fluently.
"Then what about next year?"
This time, even Cai Yong couldn't help but come over and ask, his face carrying a baffled expression. What else could he do?!
Wouldn't the land be filled with sorrow next year?
The corner of Zhao Feng's mouth curled up slightly. He slowly knocked on the table and said,"Have you all fallen into some kind of misunderstanding?”
"Hmm? Misunderstanding?"
Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu were stunned.
Cai Yong was stunned.
What misunderstanding did I have?
Could it be that what I said was wrong?
Of course, he had to have this concern. He could not take the disaster victims for granted. After they entered, they would become tigers and wolves and eat up your rations!
"Please, my lord, be clear. Do you really have a way?”
Xi Zhicai wasn't arrogant anymore. Looking at Zhao Feng's appearance, he probably wasn't being rash. He should have a plan in his heart.
"Sigh, you guys…"
Zhao Feng shook his head with a bitter smile." Let me ask you, what are these refugees?”
Xi Zhicai opened his mouth and answered,"Farmer."”
"Eh? Wait…"
After he answered, he suddenly understood something.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he felt his scalp go numb from his back to the soles of his feet.
That's right!
Farmer!
These people were farmers, and even if they were refugees, they were still farmers!
As long as they survived, they were strong men!
With millions of strong men, not only could they increase the recruitment efforts, but they could also have a large number of vacancies in all industries!
At that time, it might become prosperous!
"Sir, you mean to let them exchange labor for food?!”
When Xi Zhicai said this, he suddenly felt a little guilty. He felt that this plan was definitely feasible, but he was afraid that he would be ridiculed by the adults if he did not get to the key point.
Zhao Feng stared at him for a long time, then slowly nodded," Mm, not bad.”
"If that's the case, we…Ah!! This was really a great opportunity! Fame, wealth, soldiers, and prosperity were all sent directly along with this edict!”
"Your Majesty, this…this is a good death!”
Xi Zhicai directly roared out in a low voice, causing Cai Yong and Xu Shu to frown.
Especially Xu Shu, he was shocked.
Damn it, this bastard was still so fearless. Just this sentence alone would cause him to be beheaded!
However, Zhao Feng waved his hand." That's only one of the reasons. It's nothing much to exchange for labor. This year's grain will be recorded in the account book. All the hundred letters that enter Youzhou will owe me food. Next year, the army and the people will start to open up wasteland and cultivate to accumulate military funds.”
"There are two important matters. One is farming and the other is opening up wasteland.”
"What I want is for the land of Youzhou to be turned into fertile land by the beginning of spring next year.”
"But something is wrong!" Xi Zhicai's mind went blank again. He immediately stood up and bowed deeply."Sir, I didn't mean to stir up trouble. How do we deal with the cattle and tools? Can we afford the cattle of a million disaster victims?!”
That's right!
This…
Xu Shu immediately shook his head. Although these words were straightforward, it was indeed a big problem.
What should he do with these farming tools?
So what if they were cattle?
With so much farmland, it would be difficult to obtain in this chaotic situation. These were all expensive.
If these problems couldn't be solved, would they let the people plow the land with their hands?
Isn't that ridiculous?
At this moment, the atmosphere that had just relaxed suddenly became heavy again.
However, at this moment, he heard a tender voice from the side.
"But those disaster victims are farmers to begin with. They naturally have farming tools at home. As for cattle, why do we need them when we have enough manpower?”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Zhuge Liang, who was sitting in front of a desk and copying a book, stared at the opera talent with his eyes wide open. He shook his head as if he was looking at a fool.
Zhao Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head." Hahaha, sigh, Zhicai, you're not as clear as an eight-year-old child like Liangzi.”
" The victims of this chaotic world only need to survive. I gave them the space to live. No matter what they lack, they can handle it themselves. The only thing they can't lack…is seeds.”
Zhao Feng's eyes revealed a sharp light," And I happen to have some seeds in my hands…"
He had stored seeds of chili, chives, cabbage, corn, and so on in his backpack when he had transmigrated. He had not cultivated them all this while, and now he could take them out...
Once the production of these things increased in Youzhou, they would all be kept in the treasury. When the real chaotic world arrived, it would mean that they would fight for the capital of the world!
Originally, he had only planned to recruit many famous generals and civil officials under his command before slowly taking over the world. Who knew that…before Emperor Ling passed away, he would actually give him such a big surprise!
Fame!
The fame of millions of people!
It could not be described as sending charcoal in the snow!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Zhicai fell completely silent and agilely retreated to the side.
Because what this child said was very reasonable.
The lord's words made sense.
He secretly calmed down. For some reason, Zhao Feng's image in his heart seemed to have grown even higher!
Zhao Feng then said to Cai Yong," In this year, Youzhou will recuperate. At the same time…Duke Cai, I've asked you to come here because I have a movable type printing technique in my hands. I want you to take charge of it. Do you think it's feasible?"
" What, what technique?!"
Cai Yong was about to agree, but he felt as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"Hehe, if Duke Cai is interested, I can tell you in private.”
Xi Zhicai immediately leaned back tactically and said sourly,"My lord, tell me about it…"
……
July, 189th year of Zhongping.
General He Jin listened to Yuan Shao's advice and wanted to kill all eunuchs. He first asked Empress Dowager He to dismiss all eunuchs below the constant attendant and replace them with Lang Guan. The queen mother did not listen.
He Jin was born in a poor family. As a consort and a new noble, he had always respected and feared eunuchs. Although he was famous outside, he did not dare to make a decision when something happened, so he could not make a decision for a long time.
Yuan Shao also suggested that He Jin summon the heroes of the four directions to the capital to coerce the Empress Dowager to agree. He Jin adopted the suggestion, so he summoned the former general Dong Zhuo to Beijing.
……
It was exactly what Cao Cao had said.
Many complicated matters outside were thrown to Zhao Feng to restrict him. Once the court was stable, he would force him to abdicate.
The changes in power within the palace were even more dangerous.
All the heroes and dukes in the world had their own interests to seek, so they had no time to involve themselves with each other.
At this moment, in Cao Cao's official residence in Luoyang.
A crisp tapping sound came from the backyard.
Cao Cao was furious.
"Idiot! Bastard! These two people were as stupid as pigs! Yuan Benchu, He Jin! This brat is not worth scheming with!"
Cao Cao's expression was extremely furious. He had just heard that Yuan Shao had asked He Jin to invite Dong Zhuo into the capital. Moreover, his troops were already at Luoyang and he had already entered the palace!
This was f * cking…
For these mere eunuchs, he actually invited Dong Zhuo into the capital. This was inviting a furious tiger into Luoyang!!
"Zixiao!"
"Big brother, tell me what we should do now…"
"Luoyang will take a look at the situation. We can't just hang ourselves on a tree. Return to your hometown immediately, gather your clansmen, and secretly recruit soldiers and horses. When the world changes, we will raise our troops in Chenliu to help the king…"
Cao Cao's face was dark. After so many years of military life, his experience as an official told him that the Great Han Dynasty would fall apart, and Yuan Shao's actions would become the fuse.
What they needed to do was to accumulate strength in advance. Otherwise, it would be difficult.
After all, Yuan Shao's family had four generations and three dukes. They had a very strong foundation. With a casual wave of their arms, they could obtain countless civil officials and generals. The family's wealth was tens of thousands, and they could also recruit soldiers and buy horses.
As for the Cao family, they would have to rely on the Old Master…
Let's fight it out.
Damn it!
If only I were Zhao Feng!
Unfortunately, Zhao Feng was also held back by the millions of disaster victims. It was probably difficult for him to turn the tables!
