Royal Road

Liang Feng narrowed his smile and sighed softly: "Naturally, I am worried about the safety of Liang Mansion and Gaodu. The two places are only half a day away, and they can be said to be mutually dependent. If we encounter such a thing again, what should we do? This time we are lucky to win, but The Liang Mansion has also lost a lot of people. Let’s do it again, I'm afraid I won’t be able to help Gaodu.”

Hearing this, Guo Jiao couldn't help coughing: "This time Liang Hou really worked hard. It's just that the walls of the high capital are low and the people are withered. I really don't know what to do when I am in office..."

"That's why I came to meet Ming Gong." Liang Feng said, "Rebellious soldiers crossed the border and destroyed a lot of villages. Let alone the displaced people, those lands were completely wiped out. Luoyang is now in chaos. It's better to open the Taixing Path, gather some refugees from Sizhou, and enrich the village. At that time, whether it is to rebuild the city walls or reclaim the fields, will there be support?"

"What? But, but Gaodu is barren, it is really unable to contain the refugees!" Guo Jiao was completely surprised when Liang Feng said this. The wealthy family accepts some refugees, he just keeps one eye closed, but let the county government take in the refugees by itself, where does he get the money!

"Actually, it doesn't cost much to accommodate the refugees. In winter, they can plow the land, repair the city walls, and wait until the beginning of spring to cultivate. After a few months, I am afraid that not only can they be self-sufficient, but also pay taxes and food. Isn't it a good governance?" Liang Feng continued to persuade.

"This...I'm afraid it's wrong." Although it sounded very moving, Guo Jiao shook his head bitterly even after he counted the old bottom of the county government. Gathering the refugees is too costly and food, even if the bottom is shaken out, he can't afford so many people!

"What if you can get some food from the army? Now Xiaowei Wu's subordinates are also short of hundreds of meals. How about using these military pay to gather the refugees?" Liang Feng changed the conversation and threw the question to Wu Ling.

This time it was not Guo Jiao, even Wu Ling was taken aback: "How can the army pay lightly!"

"But if there are no soldiers, how can we wipe out the four hundred rebellious army?" Liang Feng asked rhetorically.

"This..." Wu Ling was immediately speechless. Yeah, saying that he lost 800 people, and then led the remaining 200 people to kill the rebels? Even a fool can hear the problem! If you want to get this feat, you really can't report the actual casualties.

And Liang Feng, the kid, now pays attention to the concealed payment. No matter how thick Wu Ling's face was, he would not dare to swallow this piece of meat in front of Liang Feng. Not to mention that he is a serious Tinghou, even without this status, private soldiers in the palace can wipe out the Huns insurgents. What kind of combat power is this? In the face of such a strong dragon, if he wants to use any tricks, he is afraid that he will not get good fruit.

However, concealing the payment is not without problems. Wu Ling hesitated and finally said: "Now that the new year is approaching, General Ningbei is stranded in Luoyang again, and no one will be sent to investigate. If General Ningbei comes back in the future, I will be short of staff, how can I explain it?"

How could Liang Feng not understand the meaning of these words. He smiled: "So it is a good deal to support the refugees with military expenses. If you need to hire people, then you can hire the refugees under the command of the school lieutenant."

Wu Ling still hesitated: "This is not quite right... and the refugees may not be willing to come to Bingzhou."

He is a guard, and naturally knows where the refugees are going. Bingzhou has been suffering from a severe drought in the past two years, and there are also mostly Hu people. Even if they are in exile, they may not be willing to come here. On the contrary, more people go to Youzhou and Qingzhou.

Liang Feng said: "The people are only afraid of military disasters and epidemics. I dare not say military disasters, but I have a certain degree of confidence in dealing with the disasters. At that time, let the county government send some people to our house to do rollovers and study medical skills. If the people can live in peace, they naturally want to stay in Gaodu."

Wu Ling just remembered that the handsome young man in front of him also had the title of "Buddha". Not to mention, if the epidemic can really be controlled, I am afraid that many refugees would really like to live in Gaodu!

"Minggong is kind, gathering the refugees to build cities and reclaim wasteland. The school lieutenant sympathizes with the village, let the soldiers assist the people in farming, and resume production. Even if it is put in the mouth of the admonishment officer, it will not make mistakes. In this way, Minggong herdsmen are well-prepared. Isn't everyone happy that Wei Shoutu has merit?" Liang Feng smiled and gave a conclusion.

Hearing this, both Guo Jiao and Wu Ling couldn't help but be moved. This idea seems feasible! Anyway, Luoyang can be messed up now, and few people in the counties and counties below are bothering about it. It's not impossible to get hundreds of refugees to steal their posts and change posts. Guo Jiao is just a poor family, and Wu Ling is a school lieutenant from the flat-headed people, and his promotion is slim. If this time according to Liang Feng's words, the government should be rectified, and the military fame has been earned, wouldn't it have the best of both worlds?

What's more, how can state officials nowadays not rely on the powerful and powerful of the gentry? This Liang Zixi's reputation is so high, and the private soldiers of the Liang Family are brave and good at fighting. He is a thigh that can be hugged! People have passed such a high-sounding step, and then push them three times, is it not hypocritical?

The two looked at each other, and they had a plan in their hearts. Wu Ling laughed and said: "Everyone says that Liang Hou is kind, like a bodhisattva, and the officials know that what they said is true today!"

Guo Jiao let out a light cough: "Then how to deal with the loss of Liang Mansion?"

Having said this for a long time, it is the benefit of the two of them. The Liang Mansion has spent such a great effort to suppress the bandits, is it not just for them to marry?

Liang Feng smiled: "When the pass is opened, the refugees don't know how many refugees will come. If they are unable to contain them, the Liang Mansion can do it for one or two."

This is an important person, and it is very likely that Renliang's mansion picks out the refugees. But the idea was made by others, and it would not be an exaggeration to share some dividends. Guo Jiao still understands this truth, so he nodded quickly: "Of course the subordinate officials must rely on Lianghou."

"It just so happens that there are a few villages around Liang's Mansion, with a wide area and sparsely populated areas. If Liang Mansion helps to gather the refugees, I am afraid they can only be placed here." Liang Feng continued with a smile.

This is an important land, and in name it is to resettle the refugees. In fact, I don't know how many people are in the fortress. I am afraid it is not easy to collect taxes. Guo Jiao hesitated for a moment, and said: "Liang Hou has suffered heavy losses this time in the suppression of the bandits. The refugees planted those unpopulated wasteland, which is also regarded as repaying Liang Hou's kindness."

"Also after this war, the mansion also banned some horses. It is a pity that there is a lack of pasture in the winter, and it is a pity to kill it for fear of not being able to feed it. I wonder if I can use horses to exchange some pasture back." Liang Feng smiled. Look at Wu Ling.

Wu Ling gritted his teeth: "The lower officials also have something to do in the army. Just like Qingzhou, dozens of horses can be exchanged for a thousand catties of hay. If Lianghou needs forage, he can give the horses to the lower officials. "

"Ah, that can alleviate the urgent need." Liang Feng said with his palm, "In this way, there will be Lieutenant Lao."

"The riot..." Wu Ling really didn't know how to speak, and asked vaguely.

"Lieutenant Wu led his troops to clear the insurgents, and Liang's mansion only assisted one or two from the side. The officer was brave and wounded for defending the city. He took full advantage of him." When he got what he wanted, Liang Feng didn't need it. Compete with Wu Ling. What's more, the two hundred parts to kill four hundred rebels will not let people marvel at the prestige of Liang Mansion, but will only give rise to doubts. He really didn't have much interest in doing this kind of early bird.

Unexpectedly that the other party was so generous, Wu Ling couldn't help but smile: "Liang Hou Renyi! The little things about pasture, please feel free to hand it over to the lower officials!"

Guo Jiao couldn't help but smiled and said, "Lieutenant Wu has done a great job this time, so he has to report it to him as soon as possible, lest the Xiongnu send troops to run in vain."

This was so funny, Wu Ling laughed loudly: "Thanks to the county lord, Liang Hou Dingli helped each other. The lips and teeth are dependent on each other, so it should be the case!"

In a few words, the issue of benefit distribution was finalized. Guo Jiao and Wu Ling both felt that they had taken a big advantage, and they were naturally more courteous towards Liang Feng. Guo Jiao still wanted to keep the two for dinner, but Wu Ling was anxious to cut the head, and there were a lot of things in Liang Feng's mansion, and they all declined politely. Before leaving, Liang Feng also asked Guo Jiao for two medical workers with good medical skills, and brought them back to treat the wounded. Naturally, Guo Jiao also obeyed his plan.

After handling everything, Liang Feng got into the bullock cart and headed home.

Riding on the horse, enduring and enduring, Yi Yan finally couldn't help but ask: "Master, why give the credit to the captain?"

Having been acting as a sentry outside the door, Yi Yan did not miss the conversation between the three. He fought the battle himself, but he had to give his merits to a waste, which made him somewhat aggrieved.

Liang Feng was sitting by the window to breathe at the moment. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but chuckle: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Now our foundation is not solid, there is no need to make a strong point in this matter. Some people have land, Wouldn't it be better to have the entire Gaodu as a backing?"

This is also Liang Feng's plan. If Liang Mansion keeps admitting refugees and creating trilogy, no matter how concealed it is, it will inevitably attract the attention of others. But if a county magistrate takes the lead and accepts the poor, then the halo will fall on Guo Jiao, obscuring his figure. How many people above are really concerned about people's livelihood? I'm afraid it's pitiful. With Guo Jiao and Wu Ling blocking in front, no one would pay attention to his little tricks.

As for the refugees, whether it is to rescue them by themselves or Guo Jiao and the others, as long as someone helps them and eats food, these poor people will not have trouble. The large population is also the key to economic development and expansion. When the time comes to exert some influence on the newly attached refugees, I am afraid that many people will also look forward to serving the Liang Mansion.

The title of Buddha was not given for nothing.

In this way, Gaodu and Liangfu were settled without any cost. At the same time, "dividing the spoils" is also an invincible interpersonal relationship. Guo Jiao and Wu Ling are on their own boats. Although the abilities of these two people are average, but the heart of defending the soil and loving the people is still somewhat, otherwise they would not stick to the high capital. There is such an alliance, but it is more worry-free than those who are powerful and high-level.

However, it is all about the distribution of benefits. Naturally, a win-win situation is necessary to make everyone work together. Liang Feng still understands this common sense.

"By the way, remember to let people drag all the dead horses in the valley back. The horses are all good things, and they can't be cheaper for that kid from Wu Ling." Suddenly thinking of this, Liang Feng hurriedly ordered.

Seeing the lord's rare relaxed expression, the only bit of frustration in Yi Yan's heart disappeared, and she gently pinched the horse's belly and went down to make arrangements.

※

Although he had already prepared for it, Wu Ling almost choked out of breath when he saw the corpse in front of him. Is this a coincidence ambush? Obviously it was a face-to-face field battle, and annihilated four or five hundred Huns insurgents!

Although I don't know how the battle was fought, but all of his 800 people were beaten without the strength to fight back. How many people can Liang Mansion have? How strong should it be to win this big victory? !

Fortunately, I didn't work against Liang Feng. What other thoughts does Wu Ling have at this moment? With that little military salary in exchange for so much military exploits, Liang Zixi definitely opened up the net. This kind of thigh really doesn't hug the white, as long as he stays in Taixing, I'm afraid he can't do without the care of Liangfu. But it is also a good thing to have such a powerful neighbor. He knows his own affairs best, he will be sent to such a remote pass, he has no connections to rely on. Nowadays, there are "Buddha sons" taking care of him.

It seems that selling horses is going to be a snack. Thinking to himself, Wu Lingdui smiled and asked the Liang Family soldiers standing aside, "I don't know who is the leader of the thief?"

"I don't know, just pick one and use it. I don't know these, is the captain still satisfied?" the person asked.

"Satisfied and satisfied!" Wu Ling dared to say something, and hurriedly replied.

"That's good. Let's start loading the car." The soldier turned his head and said to the people around him.

"Ah, these people don't have many heads, so we can come." Wu Ling hurriedly humbly.

"The school lieutenant misunderstood, we are here to move the dead horses. These corpses are naturally returned to the school lieutenant, but the horses will be taken away from the Liang Mansion." The soldier replied solemnly.

Wu Ling: "..."

Don't you even let go of a dead horse? ! He was slanderous in his heart, but this was really hard to say, he could only smile: "It should be good meat, it's not good to waste it."

Seeing that a dozen house soldiers were busy, loading dead horses into carts. Wu Lingcai sent someone to cut off the head, bury the body, and return to Gaodu. After discussing with Guo Jiao for a long time, a document for victory was finally finalized, and along with the four to five hundred first levels, it was handed over.
