My Three Kingdoms is a bit fierce

Deng Gong nodded, but his expression became a little bitter, and he only listened to him: "Lord, what you just saw is only one-fifth of the population of this village, and the rest are working outside the village.

Chen Chu was taken aback, according to what Deng Gong said, then Longhu Village now has a population of 6,000.

"What's going on? I only asked Shopkeeper Wei to recruit 3,000 homeless people with good physique into the village, how could there be so many more people? Chen Chu frowned, his tone was a little displeased, it was not that he was unwilling to help the displaced people, it was really limited in his ability to afford such a large number of people. Six thousand! Chen Chu made it difficult for Wei Du to purchase 700,000 catties of grain to last until the grain matured in summer and autumn. To support these 6,000 people, almost one million catties of grain were needed, of which the shortfall reached 300,000 catties.

Feeling Chen Chu's displeasure, Duke Deng hurriedly said: "Lord, this matter is actually not to blame the shopkeeper Wei. In fact, the people in charge of the storekeeper only sent more than 1,000 people, and the others came by themselves after hearing the news.

Chen Chu was speechless for a moment. Now that the situation is turbulent and the people are struggling to make a living, as long as they hear that there is a place to live, they will of course flock to it. Chen Chu didn't think about this problem at all when he was planning before.

In fact, Chen Chu was not worried about the 6,000 people in front of him, although the burden was a bit heavy, he could still handle it. Chen Chu was worried that after hearing the news, the displaced people would continue to gather here, and if there were a few thousand more people, it would be difficult to deal with them.

Worried about this, Chen Chu asked: "Deng Gong, is there still a steady stream of displaced people coming to our Longhu Village?"

Deng Gong nodded and said, "Yes, and there is a tendency to intensify." When he spoke, Deng Gong's expression was also worried, obviously he also thought about the food problem.

"By the way, has all the food I asked the shopkeeper to buy arrived?" Chen Chu is now particularly concerned about the food issue.

"A few days ago, all of them arrived, a total of 700,000 catties, and now they are all stored in the warehouse. Do you want to go and see it?

Chen Chu shook his head, "No need, I can trust Duke Deng to do things."

Deng Gong was immediately moved, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Lord."

Chen Chu lowered his head and thought about the affairs in the village, Deng Gong and the others knelt on the side and looked at Chen Chu attentively, and after a while, Chen Chu asked again: "How many of the six thousand people in the village are in the prime of life?" How many of them are in the prime of life?

Deng Gong immediately took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve, and then said: "Back to the lord, among the 6,000 people in the village, there are 4,956 men, including 3,256 men in the prime of life.

Chen Chu was a little surprised, he thought that Deng Gong and they didn't pay attention to this problem at all, but he didn't want Deng Gong to do a good job a long time ago. Chen Chu couldn't help but nod secretly: I didn't expect that Duke Deng's internal affairs ability was still very strong! It seems that Deng Gong's internal affairs ability is not necessarily worse than that of the ordinary internal affairs talents of the three countries.

"Very good, Deng Gong, you did a good job!" Chen Chu couldn't help but praise, which made the old man excited for a while.

"Gong Deng, you immediately select the best one thousand physique among these more than 3,000 middle-aged men. I'll come and see it in a few days. Chen Chu gave Deng Gong another task.

"My lord, please rest assured, the old man will definitely handle this matter well." Perhaps because of Chen Chu's praise, Deng Gong's tone and demeanor became more confident when he spoke.

Chen Chu nodded, and then pondered again, he remembered one more thing, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

What is it all about? Oh yes!

"Deng Gong, I also want you to choose a blacksmith who can strike iron among these homeless people, and I will be useful when the time comes."

Blacksmith! That's a lot of stuff! In the future, the weapons and armor of their own army will have to be built by them.

Deng Gong listened carefully, and then respectfully promised: "Yes, the old man has written it down."

Chen Chu thought about it again, and felt that all the things that should be ordered had been ordered, so he said: "For the time being, these things, if everyone has nothing to do, go down."

When Deng Gong and the others heard this, they immediately stood up and saluted Chen Chu, "My lord, please rest, and we will retire."

When he was about to leave, Deng Gong suddenly remembered something again, so he asked: "My lord, please make a decision about the matter of the displaced people taking refuge in my village."

Chen Chu thought about it, there is really no way to solve this matter now. Although it is the best and most direct way to stop the influx of displaced people, these displaced people are already people on the verge of despair, if they are provoked by people with ulterior motives when there is no hope, then it is very likely to become a destructive force, and now Chen Chu has no strength to deal with this situation.

Ay! It seems that the armed forces must be built up quickly!

"Gong Deng, I have thought about this matter, and I still accept the refuge of the homeless people for the time being, but there is one thing to remember, that is, the homeless people who join our Longhu Village must be young and middle-aged, or have a skill. In addition, select some clever and reliable people and let them spread rumors all over the state, saying that the food in our Longhu Village has run out of food because of the emergency victims. "

Deng Gong is a person with brains, and after a little thought, he understands Chen Chu's intentions." Yes, the old man understood. The lord, please rest well, and retire from old decay.

After Deng Gong and the others exited the villa, Zhang Rui, who had not spoken, suddenly jumped in front of Chen Chu. However, at this time, Zhang Rui's delicate face had a very angry look.

Chen Chu couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he smiled and asked, "What's the matter, Rui'er, who made you angry?" "

You." The answer was short and powerful, but Chen Chu was depressed: When did he make this baby angry?

"Rui'er, what do you mean?"

Zhang Rui's crescent-like eyes widened, and she pouted her red and glamorous lips and said angrily: "Big brother, why did you say that only young adults are allowed to come to our village?" What about those old people? Speaking of this, Zhang Rui's eyes turned red.

Chen Chu was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that the girl in front of him was so kind! In front of her, Chen Chu couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of himself.

But Chen Chu will not change this decision. In this era of chaos, the first thing to do is to do everything possible to strengthen one's own strength, and then we can talk about other things, otherwise it is the benevolence of women, which will not only not save people, but will put oneself into it, and finally harm more people.

"Rui'er, do you believe in Big Brother?" Unconsciously, Chen Chu pressed Zhang Rui's shoulders and asked with a sincere look at Zhang Rui's eyes.

Zhang Rui's heart trembled inexplicably, and then the anger quickly receded from her pretty face, replaced by a faint shyness. Zhang Rui nodded lightly, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Chen Chu.

"Big brother promised you that as long as the power of big brother is strong enough, he will definitely help all those in need in the world. Rui'er, you will always stay by the side of the eldest brother and supervise the eldest brother, okay?

Chen Chu stared at Zhang Rui with burning eyes, and Zhang Rui's head was lowered. At this time, Zhang Rui's heart was very excited, as if there was a deer bumping into her chest, and she was thinking at this time: Big brother is too much! Don't you know that men and women don't kiss each other? I want people to answer such words!
