Recruitment order, hoping to find some available manpower.

"Ah Gui finds it strange," You Hongyin asked as he hurried to the roadside, "Why didn't I stop and talk to that person?"

"Yes, whether this person is pretending to be mysterious or has real talent and knowledge, according to the lord's temperament, we should talk about it before making a judgment." Hu Guidao: "Although the lord has a few disciples like us now, we have to deal with the lord's side. There are a lot of things, and the high-density government affairs are becoming more and more complicated. Mr. Fan alone may not be able to handle it. "

"I don't like chatting, and I don't like people who are greedy for drinking, so I won't see that person. If he sincerely surrenders, he will naturally come and see you again." You Hongyin smiled and said, "I feel very good about myself. I have faith, I’m afraid that person would be reluctant to part with such a good master like me.”

Sure enough, three days later, You Hongyin finally returned from inspecting various counties in Gaomi. When he returned to the Prefect's Mansion, the unknown fisherman had already changed his clothes and was waiting at the gate of the Prefect's Mansion.

"I wonder if it's the governor's car?" Cao Lin obviously learned the lesson from the failed fishing at the beginning, and he took the lead when he came up.

"Exactly. I wonder who you are sir?" You Hongyin saw him dressed as a scholar and called him sir.

"I'm from Jiaozhou, Cao Lin. I heard that the envoy is looking for talented people, so I came here to give it a try."

You Hongyin was amused when he saw that he spoke directly and quickly, but his face did not show a trace of it, and he said: "It turns out that sir is here to recruit talents. Then, let's go to the house and discuss it in detail."

After entering the mansion, the slaves served tea, and Hu Gui took the guards back to his residence to make repairs. You Hongyin said to Cao Lin, "Mr. Cao, sit down for a while. He is covered with dust. Please change his clothes and come back."

"Leave it to your own devices."

"please."

When You Hongyin packed up and arrived at the lobby of the final hall, Cao Lin was curious about the celadon tea set, his eyes full of admiration.

This celadon was just trial-produced by You Hongyin. Compared with colored porcelain, celadon is not as gorgeous and eye-catching as colored porcelain, but it is more popular than colored porcelain among wealthy families who claim to be romantic. On the contrary, among the Huns, colored porcelain was more popular. You Hongyin now has almost a hundred knights under his command, and all the horses he uses were obtained in exchange for a piece of colored porcelain.

"Shijun really comes from a noble family, and everything he uses every day is so precious. This must be the colored porcelain that those merchants say is the best in the world." Cao Lin said.

It is not popular nowadays to say that a good leader is a hard-working and willing to endure hardships. People from poor families are opposed to chatting, but they have never complained about the luxury of wealthy families. In essence, no one hates a good life, and they work hard just to live like this. Just life.

Therefore, changing the social trend is really not an easy task, and it may take You Hongyin a lifetime of hard work.

"Did you come here and only see this colorful porcelain?" You Hongyin asked.

Cao Lin said: "I was singing songs at the ferry, but the envoy ignored me. Isn't it because I am not eager to accept talents?" It was not that he was worried about this matter, he was just curious.

"Although I come from a wealthy family, my family was poor when I was young, so I didn't have the habit of talking casually. I am used to seeing drunken and dissolute people from high-ranking families in Luoyang. I can see the rot behind them and live happily, so I don't like drunkards." You Hongyin said: "If sir can't get used to a regular life, I'm afraid we won't have a chance."

When Cao Lin saw this, he couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out that among the high sects, there are still disciples like you. Please rest assured that I am just imitating Jiang Taigong. Although I did not succeed, it made me more determined to serve." "

"Then, what do you want to teach me, sir?" You Hongyin asked.

Cao Lin said: "If you want to come here, your ambition is not in Gaomi."

You Hongyin said: "Not bad."

"Then the commander-in-chief of recruiting talents feels that there are not enough people on hand, not only not enough management personnel, but also not enough strong men to do other things?" Cao Lin said.

"I do feel that way. However, a certain person has been resettling the refugees. I think this situation will soon be alleviated." You Hongyin said.

Cao Lin said: "I think Gaomi has resettled a lot of refugees. Given the past financial resources of Gaomi County, if you want to resettle this number of refugees, you will definitely need to supplement your own wealth."

You Hongyin said: "I got most of my wealth from wealthy families. I sold colored porcelain, salt, coal, etc. in exchange for food and silk cloth, and then fed back to the people."

Cao Lin bent down and saluted and said, "I will make you noble and righteous."

This was the first time he had given this great gift, and he obviously truly surrendered.

Cao Lin straightened up and continued: "But even so, Gaomi County is located in a remote area with inconvenient transportation. Most of the refugees are intercepted by other counties. Very few people come here. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to increase the population."

For cities and towns, displacement is both beneficial and harmful. If there is not much food in stock in the city, even if he wants to bring peace to the people, he will not be able to do it. This is why Chen Xiquan and his family have been wandering for several months but no city has taken them in. However, there were less wars in the counties of Qingzhou, so they could still have some food reserves. Compared with other places, it was indeed considered to be vast and sparsely populated, so it had the ability to accommodate refugees. This is why refugees all over the world like to go to Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

"What's the magic trick, sir?" Of course You Hongyin knew this kind of thing, and this was what bothered him. If he were to rob someone from his neighbor's house openly, it would be too ugly.

Cao Lin smiled: "This is your blind spot. You feel that the people are the foundation of strength. You feel that if you treat the people well, you can cultivate food and grass and have soldiers. But you don't know that other places treat the people like livestock, and they only like to treat people like animals. If you sweep the snow in front of your door, you don’t know what the future will be like. The governor of Qingzhou is Mr. Shan Jian, and the chief officials of all counties want to please Mr. Shan Jian, but they are afraid that they will not resettle the refugees at all. Even if they are resettled, some counties have been complaining about money and food difficulties. If it’s not enough to put money into your own pocket, how can you properly resettle the refugees?”

When You Hongyin heard this, he understood what Cao Lin meant.

"Sir, do you want to lobby the counties?" You Hongyin said.

"Exactly."

You Hongyin sighed. He had always had a misunderstanding, thinking that the refugees could not come because those counties were also preparing to recruit people to resist the troubled times in the future, but he did not know that he thought those people were too smart.

You Hongyin said: "I never thought of this. You are a great talent, and the position of chief historian in a certain house is still vacant. I wonder if you are willing to give in."

"Cao Lin pays homage to my lord." Cao Lin knelt down and bowed.

"Sir, please get up quickly." You Hongyin pulled him up.

"My Lord calls me Shu Shi," said Cao Lin.

"When will Mr. Shushi leave?" You Hongyin asked.

"Immediately." Cao Lin is not a person who is dragging his feet.

"Go and invite me back." You Hongyin called the maid and said this.

Then he turned to Cao Lin and said, "Agui is the captain of the Gaomi County Guards, and his name is Hu Gui. Although Qingzhou is more stable than other places now, it is still a bit dangerous. With Agui guarding him, I feel more at ease."

"I will live up to my lord's expectations." Cao Lin said.

Hu Gui trains county guards on weekdays, but he has never given up his duty to protect his lord. For him, other things are not as important as his lord's safety.

The county army has now expanded from 300 to 700. It's not that they don't want to fill up the force, but the sources of troops are scarce. Most of the refugees are old, weak, sick and disabled, with very few young adults, and some of them have been filled by Hu Wei. It is difficult to recruit enough people to join the county army in order to make a part.

But in fact, Gaomi County can hardly afford to support 700 people. Why has there been such a thing as empty pay since ancient times? In addition to the greed of the generals, one pay for the sergeants is really not enough. Therefore, half of this group of people are still supported by You Hongyin out of his own pocket.

As the food and equipment kept up, the combat power was naturally no longer the same as before. In addition, You Hongyin had taught Hu Gui and Hu Wei various military techniques. The soldiers led by the two men must have more combat power than ordinary people.

However, it will be fine after the autumn harvest.

This time, Gaomi County has a bumper harvest, and You Hongyin's own manor is no exception. After the autumn harvest and the farming slack, You Hongyin plans to recruit more labor, build seaports and docks, and strengthen city walls.

Hu Gui led 20 cavalry to escort Cao Lin away, and You Hongyin also began his intensive construction plan.

We were originally worried about the lack of manpower, but if new refugees arrived, we would naturally be able to speed up the process.

Chengyang County has the most convenient transportation and the largest number of refugees. Cao Lin set his target here as his first stop. ││Thinking││Rabbit││In││Line││Read││Read││

He glanced at Hu Gui, who had been guarding him silently, like a piece of wood, and felt a little depressed.

Having recognized himself as his lord, he was naturally very interested in this Xianbei man who was born a domestic slave but gained the trust of his lord. However, he had already exhausted all his words and the man did not say a word, which made Cao Lin somewhat doubtful of his eloquence.

There were still several miles away from Chengyang County, so Cao Lin looked at the surrounding situation very seriously.

Compared to Gaomi, which is in the midst of a bumper harvest and has constant merchant traffic, Chengyang is simply another world.

Refugees continued to rush here along the way, and the number was much larger than usual. It seems that the food in the fields has been cleaned up a long time ago, which is correct. If it had not been cleaned up, I am afraid that it would have been snatched and eaten by the refugees. The refugees were sallow, thin, and disheveled, and the long journey seemed to have exhausted their last bit of strength.

Gradually, we saw the refugees rushing towards Chengyang full of expectations, only to be stopped by the soldiers, and then led to a place specially designated to house them with a look of joy on their faces.

Cao Lin looked at the gathering place. There were many large and small shacks inside. They were only high enough for one person to bend down and get in. Moreover, the shacks were leaking from all directions. There might be three or four people sleeping in one shack.

The refugees who had lived here for a while seemed a little dull, their eyes were motionless, and they were even thinner than those who had just arrived.

Cao Lin listened carefully to the conversations of the refugees in Chengyang. It seemed that every day, people from the government would come here to serve wheat porridge for just one meal. Moreover, the wheat porridge was so thin that a handful of wheat would make a bucket of porridge, which would not be enough to eat.

He thought of the condition of the refugees under the rule of Lord Gaomi.

Because the refugees are different from the local residents, they cannot live together temporarily during the resettlement. Therefore, the lord also provides the refugees with accommodation in the same area. However, the location of the resettlement site for the refugees was well chosen and does not overlap with the local fertile farmland. There are many wastelands nearby that can be reclaimed by the refugees.

It’s just that the land cannot grow food for a while, and food rations for the refugees are a problem. However, the lord does not choose to provide direct relief. Instead, he arranges for the refugee laborers to work in the workshops under the lord’s name, and exchanges labor for food.

With just one move, he was much better than others. Labor is exchanged for food, and goods are also manufactured, which can be sold by merchants to earn food. In this cycle, as long as the refugees survive for half a year and the wasteland has a harvest, they can support themselves.

On the way to the city, Cao Lin heard two petty officials complaining that the number of refugees was increasing and they were consuming more and more money and food.

Cao Lin had an idea in mind.

Hu Gui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "This man loves fame but is incompetent, and is far inferior to the lord."

Hu Gui thought of his past. He was originally from Jiuyuan, Bingzhou. Because he had Xianbei blood, he lived with a tribe of Xianbei. However, they had no cattle, sheep, or grasslands, so they could only learn from the Han people to cultivate farmland and grow food. But after a year of hard work, he couldn't even fill his stomach. If it weren't for his ancestral archery skills, which left him a bow, he could occasionally go into the forest to hunt some prey, and he would have starved to death.

Originally, he would have lived like this, living a life of ignorance. But the King of Bingzhou drafted young men, and he became a member of the vast army, holding a wooden stick and being swept towards the enemy.

Then he was defeated and captured and became a slave.

He was sold to Guangling after a lot of bumps and bumps, and then met the redemption of his life, the young lord.

Now the lord has grown taller and deliberately puts on an old-fashioned attitude. I am afraid that no one knows that the head of a county is a 17-year-old boy.

It is a pity that we can no longer see the 14-year-old boy smiling and teaching civil and military skills.

"The governor here is a blind drifter who lives on his clothes. I am afraid he can't even recognize all the words. How can he compare with the lord?" Cao Lin said disdainfully: "Just watch how I get people and money and food for the lord."

Cao Lin thought that Chengyang shared the pressure for
