Xu Zhen's military pledge was taken down.
In an instant, the entire military camp fell into turmoil again. For a moment, the hearts of the people were shaken. Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan, and the others waited for a long time.
He went offline?
It was completed?
"How did he do it? One billion?"
Cao Chun had never expected this. However, before he could react, a new military order was issued. The lord personally ordered all the excess food, iron, and other minerals in the camp to be gathered.
Moreover, it wasn't just Juancheng. The entire Yanzhou and Xuzhou needed to move minerals, wood, and so on to Xu County.
In an instant, all the generals were speechless. Not only were they no match for Xu Zhen, but they also had to gather a lot of stones, ores, wood, gold, and silver for him.
Help him settle down all the starving people and refugees?!
100,000 refugees was not difficult compared to the one million refugees in Yanzhou. Xu County was a place with mountains and rivers. Did they need so many things?!
And this time, there isn't even a military pledge. At least you have to promise something?
"Nothing? Give it to him directly?"
"This is the lord's order!"
When Cao Chun went to find Xun Yu, he only received a cold reply. The words " Lord's order " could basically answer any difficult question.
"I don't accept this. Why is my military camp so well organized? Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming soon, I can recruit more soldiers and buy more horses. Now that I've taken out so much military supplies, I, I…"
The Tiger Leopard Cavalry had finally returned to their original ten thousand men, and they had already bought four thousand warhorses.
Although the rest were old horses, they were still worth some money. Now, just transporting a batch of military supplies would cost hundreds of thousands of warhorses. The loss was huge!!
The supplies that the army had obtained with great difficulty over the years were gone just like that.
For almost a month, the goods were constantly being transported to Xu County. The news spread like wildfire in the village.
For a time, Xu Zhen's reputation had unknowingly risen another level.
……
After the autumn harvest this year, the grain reserves were distributed to the villages. Every household in Xu County had grain reserves. After paying taxes, there would still be grain reserves at home.
At this time, Xu County had basically ensured that the local people would have enough food and clothing. There would definitely not be a large number of frozen bones this winter.
After the renovation of the government office, the courtyard was much wider and the backyard was more gorgeous. With the current situation in Xu County as the standard, it was turned into the inner city and the outer city wall was built.
All kinds of stones, minerals, wood, and so on naturally came from human excavation.
After Xu Zhen heard that Cao Cao had sent over a huge amount of funding, he was immediately interested.
"Really?"
He was originally lying on the bed. These days, Xu Zhen called himself the Crouching Dragon and had been in a lazy state. Other than drinking and chatting on the bed every day, he was sleeping.
Occasionally, he would play with Madam at home for the whole day.
Now that he heard this, he was instantly energized.
"How much did you give?"
" I don't know." Dian Wei scratched his head." We haven't counted it yet, but according to Mr. Changwen, from today until next spring, food and manpower will be sent over."”
"It is estimated that we will continue to build houses and cities in the first half of next year.”
"The expansion of the city can be completed in three months if we hurry up. Now that there are so many refugees, everyone seems to be quite enthusiastic.”
How could it not be high!
Xu Zhen immediately stood up. They could get money for their work. The most primitive way was to exchange labor for money. Even if they did not enter the military, they could still support their families.
Moreover, the Xu County Military Camp was still recruiting soldiers and horses. Now, there were more than 3,000 new soldiers, making it much stronger.
"Call Feng Xiao and Changwen over!"
Xu Zhen seemed to be extremely excited. He changed his clothes and went out of the inner courtyard, waiting all the way to the main hall.
Dian Wei quickly ran to call Guo Jia and Chen Qun to the main hall. The two of them had been very busy recently. After all, they had more money and manpower to compile.
Merchants from all over the world began to travel through Xu County.
After more people lived here, the changes brought about were unimaginable.
However, Xu Zhen's call was urgent, so they did not dare not come.
Therefore, when he quickly arrived at the main hall, he looked at Xu Zhen with a dumbfounded expression.
"Milord, is there any decree to be issued?”
"Yes!" Xu Zhen walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. He smiled and said,""I've heard about the various military supplies sent from the lord.”
"Ah, we can't spend so much money casually. Three months, we have to build a temporary palace in the inner city according to the location of the government office.”
"It doesn't matter if the cost is huge. I just want to build a city similar to Luoyang.”
Guo Jia and Chen Qun both fell into a state of confusion and were momentarily stunned.
What did he mean?
"This, this isn't good, right?"
"Aren't we building the city walls? If the city walls were piled up with stone materials, it would be able to accommodate many people. Otherwise, they could only rely on the mountains to live in villages.”
Chen Qun's mouth opened a few times, mainly because…
The interior of a palace like Luoyang would definitely not have a brilliant crystal wall. Who would live in it if it was built?!
No one lived there.
Could it be that he wanted to enjoy it now?
"Milord, if that's the case, the lord might blame you.”
" Besides, the other county governors might…"
"Why do you care about them? I earned the money with my own ability. Why do I have to spend it according to other people's expressions?”Xu Zhen raised his eyelids." Listen to me. Ask the craftsmen to find a way to build a palace in the inner city with the extra money!”
"I don't want it to be bigger than Luoyang, but it must be complete. There's no need to submit a letter to the lord regarding the construction of the palace. The matter of settling the refugees and commoners will not increase according to the original plan!”
Xu Zhen didn't know that Cao Cao would support him. He was only relying on the money from this transaction to settle the refugees. In fact, he had already planned this.
However, with the sudden increase in money, everyone thought that it should be added to the construction of the city walls and irrigation works, but it was no longer necessary.
Right now, this palace was the most important thing.
"This!"
Guo Jia and Chen Qun looked at each other. For a moment, they felt bitter in their hearts.
It was not difficult to build it. After all, the inner city itself had already begun to take shape. He only needed to carve out a piece of land and pave it with stone. Then, he would build the main hall and the back hall, and the stairs would be placed against the mountain.
It seemed that it could be built in half a year. After all, there were so many people now, and the people would not complain. They were waiting to find a way to earn money to support their families and live in peace.
Such a huge project had indeed solved a huge problem.
However, doing this…
If the lord found out, would he really not be punished?!
If someone were to speak up about this sin, it would not be a small one at all…
