No.

Wang Mi said: "The people are violent and the lord is plundering. It is useless to surrender with empty words."

Liu Borgen said: "This is exactly what bothers me."

"So the lord wants to fight!" Wang Mi said: "If you are afraid of fighting, you will be obedient."

Liu Borgen frowned: "Wouldn't it be that both sides will suffer losses? Now these are all the strength of Qingzhou. It is unwise to consume each other."

Wang Mi said: "Now we have about 5,000 people, but most of them are farmers who have never been on the battlefield. The previous battles were not real battles, and they have never been real soldiers. In addition, the soldiers under the lord have been training, and occasionally they will go to sweep the bandit camp, but they have never been on the battlefield regularly. Although this battle will indeed cause losses, the final result is more benefits than disadvantages. The elites who adapt to the military will be left in advance, and the sacrifice is within an acceptable range."

Liu Borgen still accepted it very reluctantly.

Seeing this, Wang Mi continued, "I believe that after the training is achieved, the lord will have other arrangements. After all, he is unwilling to sacrifice his own people."

Liu Borgen's brows relaxed. He felt that this was the style of the lord. He was definitely not one of those ordinary aristocratic children who regarded human lives as worthless and only had power and himself in their eyes.

But Wang Mi didn't say one thing. Neither Cao Yi nor himself under the lord's command were veterans on the battlefield. There was a difference between talking about war on paper and real skills. Therefore, the most important thing in this battle was to test the true abilities of Wang Mi and Cao Yi, and let them practice at the same time!

In addition, Wang Mi still had a little restlessness in his heart. If the mob in his hands could defeat the Gaomi army led by Cao Yi, it would be another matter whether he recognized the lord or not.

He might not have the fate of ruling the world.

Of course, he would not tell Liu Borgen all this. Although Liu Borgen was eager for justice and kind, he was too honest. Once he recognized the lord, he would recognize him to the end.

But soon Wang Mi could no longer relax.

First, there were problems with many granaries in Qingzhou.

When they rushed into Qingzhou City, they immediately seized the granaries, but no one cared too much at that time, thinking that the granaries here were full and enough for 5,000 people to eat for a long time. Who knew that when they looked at the granaries in the back these two days, they were nine out of ten empty.

"Sansunzi, you bastard in Shanjian, no wonder you refuse to release the grain even if you die, the granaries are empty!" Liu Borgen couldn't help but cursed.

When Liu Borgen and Wang Mi rose up, they wanted to use the feudal superstitious excuse of "the blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established", but they didn't know that they didn't need to work hard to promote it. A severe drought and locust plague made the people rise up.

Wang Mi felt strange. Although Qingzhou was not as good as Guangling in terms of grain and grass every year, it was definitely not bad. What was the matter with the empty granaries?

"Now is not the time to curse. Without food, we can't stay in Qingzhou City for long. We must go out of the city to plunder other counties in Qingzhou. I'm afraid we have to fight the lord's Gaomi army with real swords and guns." Wang Mi was more general-like than Liu Borgen. He quickly figured out the situation and began to plan the next move.

Since we have to fight, let's fight Cao Yi openly and happily.

Wang Mi's heart was filled with heroic spirit.

What's more, he thought of those leaders who were no longer obedient, and his eyes were cold.

Kindness does not command the army. He is not Liu Borgen. It doesn't matter to him whether those rubbish live or die.

He chose to follow Guo Xi, but he followed the strong and saw that Guo Xi had the potential to dominate the world.

Three days later, due to lack of food, the rioters began to attack Gaomi.

Everyone in Qingzhou now knows that Gaomi County is the only county in Qingzhou that has a good harvest of grain under the governance of the governor in the famine years.

Where is the food? Where can I survive?

Gaomi County!

But soon, when the rioters saw the well-equipped Gaomi army, they became afraid.

The momentum of the army is different from each other.

Even though Sima Lue's army had excellent equipment, it was loose and slack. The rioters had no fear at all. They knew how strong the opponent was just by looking at him, and they rushed to disperse the army chasing Sima Lue without panic.

But the soldiers this time were completely different from Sima Lue. The rioters had been taken by the momentum and no longer had the momentum of rushing forward and rushing forward in the past.

Wang Mi shouted loudly: "They have too few people than us. They can be beaten to death by beating. Don't be afraid!", and then he took the lead and rushed to the front.

He needed to encourage these men who were essentially bloodless, so he could only lead by example.

Gaomi Prefectural Mansion.

You Hongyin was arranging chess records in the corridor of the back hall. To be honest, he had rarely had free time since he came to Gaomi. Now he suddenly had an idea and was interested in playing chess, but he couldn't find a chess friend, so he could only play by himself.

Hu Gui came in from outside and immediately reported: "My Lord, Wang Mi was defeated."

"How many times have they fought?" You Hongyin was not in a hurry and continued to ask in detail.

"Three times. Now Wang Mi has gathered the defeated soldiers and retreated to Qingzhou City, and Liu Borgen is comforting all the people." Hu Gui said.

"Half of the food in Qingzhou City has been moved away by your senior brother. It is definitely not enough to eat. The time has come. You and Hu Wei will take Heming's people to deal with those small leaders. Just ask Wang Mi for the list." You Hongyin said.

"Yes." Hu Gui immediately went halfway.

"Now, Qingzhou is truly in my hands." You Hongyin sighed faintly: "I just don't know if I can feed so many people. Everyone is so poor."

Now there are only a few county governors left in Qingzhou who can refute You Hongyin. Among these people, there are two who can be used, but You Hongyin doesn't want any of them. County governors are not as small as county magistrates, and You Hongyin dare not let disloyal or incompetent people take office at will. So he must be replaced.

"Qingzhou governor, this position is just right." His reputation has become more and more famous. It can be foreseen that more people will surrender in the future, and Gaomi County cannot accommodate so many talents. Just like Wang Mi and Cao Yi, both of them are good at fighting. How can a county guard with less than a thousand people be able to accommodate two generals? He has been talking about the lack of talents, referring to talents of different natures and specialties, not the number of talents.

Now that the sphere of influence has expanded to one state, it is naturally much better.

Cao Yi is undoubtedly a general who can lead the state army, and people like Wang Mi can first be the governor of Gaomi County to cultivate their abilities and will surely become great in the future.

He could see Wang Mi's selfishness, but You Hongyin was sure that he could polish this flawed jade to make it more brilliant.

While casually thinking about the future allocation and placement of talents, You Hongyin continued to play chess, leisurely under the wind-rising corridor, everything was so beautiful and leisurely.

When a group of small leaders died in Qingzhou City, they were trapped in the battle, had no food, and their accomplices died tragically. The remaining mobs in Qingzhou had already fallen into despair. Even General Wang, who they thought was extremely capable and omnipotent, was seriously injured. They instantly felt that the last glimmer of hope had slipped away.

At this time, You Hongyin, the governor of Qingzhou, issued a "recruitment" document and shot it into the city through an arrow.

The notice was not complicated, and even people who were roughly literate could understand it, and after reading it out, illiterate farmers could also understand it.

The general meaning is that it is wrong to loot food for survival. Everyone has to work hard to get food. For example, the Gaomi people worked hard to participate in corvée and help the country, so they saved a lot of surplus food and were able to overcome difficulties. But considering that this situation was caused by natural disasters, as long as they surrender now, they will be forgiven.

For this amnesty document, the mob began to sit down and hold a meeting.

In this situation, if they can live well, they naturally have to live well. Most people are inclined to amnesty.

Of course, some people in the mob said that they killed so many people and robbed so many things. After surrendering, they will be punished later.

Liu Borgen would naturally participate in this kind of discussion, but he stopped the discussion like a vegetable market and sighed.

Even if they win the battle with the Gaomi army this time, this team will not be able to go far.

Repaying later? No, his lord has eliminated all the opposition voices in Qingzhou with the help of the mob. For a long time in the future, Qingzhou will be the lord's world.

After arguing for a long time, no one came to a conclusion. In the end, everyone focused their attention on Liu Borgen. ~思~Rabbit~网~

To be honest, they were able to gather together at the beginning because Liu Borgen had a high reputation in the local area. Liu Borgen was responsible for managing internal affairs and personnel, and Wang Mi was responsible for commanding operations. The mob's dependence on the two had long been deep in their bones. Without them, it can be said that a group of farmers would not have come to this day.

So they discussed and discussed, and the final decision was still Liu Borgen and Wang Mi.

Liu Borgen raised his head and said: "Accept the amnesty."

Chapter 197 The Elegance of Famous Scholars (Twenty-four)

Time passed quickly. It has been five years since You Hongyin took office as the governor of Qingzhou. He did not need to pretend, and he was also a real young man.

I worked with him for five years, and I learned that the master who took office as the governor of Gaomi County was only seventeen years old. Now five years have passed, and he is only twenty-two years old.

They only found out about this because Qingzhou was pacified and all parties were temporarily settled, so You Hongyin was in the mood to hold a birthday party.

You Hongyin will never forget how many glasses of wine were spilled at the party when he heard this answer.

The party was not held for enjoyment, but purely because of the three consecutive years of drought. On weekdays, everyone was busy and had no time to relax and have fun. He just used the birthday party to create a festive atmosphere.

During the three years of drought, Qingzhou's life was getting better and better, which also led to refugees from all over the world going to Qingzhou. The food gap was getting bigger and bigger. In order to prevent refugees from causing trouble, he had to "use work instead of relief". He built a lot of buildings in the disaster years, expanded cement workshops, paved cement roads, expanded major cities in Qingzhou, expanded seaports, repaired canals, and repaired reservoirs.

It can be said that the entire Qingzhou was in a high-speed operation all year round, absorbing a large number of refugees.

However, even if You Hongyin had the ability to reach the sky, it would be impossible to feed all the refugees, as the food produced in the land was always limited.

Fortunately, the seaport that was built before the city wall was repaired played a huge role.

Don't underestimate the merchants at that time. They traveled between grasslands, southern barbarians, Japan, Goguryeo, the Western Regions, etc. As long as there was a trade, there were their footprints.

Although the maritime trade at that time was not as developed as in later generations, there were also many sea merchants selling goods along the coastline.

Of course, they also sold food.

There was no need to pay taxes for berthing at Qingzhou Port established in Jiaozhou Bay. Taxes were only levied in port transactions. This taxation method did reduce taxes, but more and more merchants came and went, and the reputation of Qingzhou Port became more and more famous, and the place became more and more prosperous.

For Qingzhou Port, You Hongyin specially built a new city here, named Changguang City. This city is not under the jurisdiction of the county, but directly under the direct management of Qingzhou Prefecture. All land is owned by the government and only rented out. However, in this precarious era, land has become a burden, and many businessmen think that leasing is more cost-effective. So although Changguang City is a strange new city, it has become very prosperous in just two years.

This city is built with a mixture of bricks and cement, with tall city walls, clear and clean urban planning, and well-organized residential areas, commercial areas, administrative centers, etc.

The city roads are all paved with cement, and the drainage system is clean and tidy. Two east and west markets were established in the city, one for small transactions and the other for large transactions. The government also opened a trading window, and there is a special government "contract office" to manage market reputation and credit issues.

You Hongyin has listed coal briquettes, soybean oil, porcelain, salt and other special commodities as special purchase commodities. They are the most popular in the market and have no worries about selling. However, not everyone can purchase them. You need to have certain qualifications.

And this qualification is based on the merchant's understanding of this
