Chen Gong continued, "While recruiting refugees, they should also be allowed to reclaim land and plant wasteland. When there is a harvest, we will naturally no longer need to provide food."

Speaking of this, Chen Gong turned to Lu Bu and bowed to him, saying with a smile, "At that time, we don't have to worry about the food being OK. Collecting land tax to supplement the needs of the army can also alleviate the food crisis of our army."

Lu Bu nodded with a loud laugh, turned to look at the generals, and said loudly, "Everyone, go back to the camp immediately to rectify the troops, and at the same time, strengthen training. If there are not enough personnel, you can select from the refugees. In short, restore your strength as soon as possible to prevent Cao Mengde from attacking."

Lu Bu looked at the burning gazes of everyone, and felt even more proud. He waved his hand hard, "Tell the soldiers, don't worry, this marquis has enough food, haha!"

The generals were watching a lot of food, and when they heard Lu Bu's words, they were immediately excited and shouted in unison, "Abide by the order."

...

In this era of chaos, food is the hard currency.

As long as there is food, whether it is to appease refugees or recruit troops, it is a trivial matter, only food is a big matter!

With food, everything is on the right track, and everyone is busy.

Zhang Miao was responsible for taking people to promote and recruiting refugees everywhere.

Chen Gong brought more people to explore the terrain around Xiaopei, how many grain fields there are, how many wastelands there are, and so on.

Lu Bu thought things would go smoothly, but that night, Chen Gong came to him and encountered a problem.

"Wen Hou, there are indeed a lot of fertile fields around Xiaopei, but these fertile fields are all lands with owners. Although the owners of these fields have left due to turmoil, they have a master after all."

Chen Gong said this, looking up at Lu Bu, and said with a wry smile, "Wen Hou, this is the headache. If we send people to farm, what should we explain once the owner of the fertile land comes back?"

Chen Gong was born in a big family and knew that those who owned these lands were all famous people in the local area.

And such people are the ones that cannot be offended the most.

It was like Cao Mengde killed Bian Rang back then, but the Yanzhou family were dissatisfied and turned to Lu Bu.

Although Cao Mengde eventually regained Yanzhou, this incident is enough to prove that these aristocratic families cannot offend them. Once they offend them, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Chen Gong believed that Lu Bu understood the truth, so he came to ask for a solution.

Chen Gong thought Lu Bu would carefully consider how to solve the problem so as not to cause dissatisfaction among these aristocratic families.

But he never expected that after hearing this, Lu Bu slapped the table suddenly and sneered.

"If these people left, do they still want to occupy the land? It's really a dream!"

Hearing this, Chen Gong's face changed and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Wen, you must not!"

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Chen Gong and asked coldly, "Why not for the public platform?"

Chen Gong sighed, "These families are very famous in the local area. If they arouse their dissatisfaction, what if...!"

Speaking of this, Chen Gong paused and gritted his teeth secretly, "Wen Hou, just like in Yanzhou, Cao Mengde offended the aristocratic families, so those aristocratic families came to support us.

We have to be careful of the lessons from the past!"

Lu Bu remembered what he saw Zhou and snorted coldly, "Just a group of fencemen, what should they do?"

Chen Gong smiled bitterly and said, "If they are dissatisfied and joining Cao Mengde, it will be very unfavorable for me!"

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong with a burning gaze. After a long time, he suddenly sighed.

"Public Terminal, since I arrived in Yanzhou, what are the performances of those families who said they supported me? Did they support me with a piece of food or a military horse?"

"this?"

Chen Gong was stunned and remembered the past in Yanzhou, but he couldn't speak for a moment.

There is indeed no!

However, although those aristocratic families had not supported Lu Bu, Chen Gong also understood the problem.

Although these aristocratic families verbally support Lu Bu, they also have to consider themselves.

No one knows whether Lu Bu has just arrived in Yanzhou. Therefore, these families who consider themselves will not support them immediately, but choose to wait and see.

Once Lu Bu gains the upper hand, they will immediately choose to support, which will allow the family to gain greater benefits.

It was like the Li family of Cheng family. Seeing that Cao Mengde had the upper hand and with Jizhou support, they immediately chose to stand on Cao Mengde's side without hesitation.

For the sake of the family, Chen Gong understood their behavior very well!

If Lu Bu had the upper hand at that time, the Li family of Cheng family would have chosen Lu Bu, not Cao Mengde.

So their choice is worthy of being a timely help, but an icing on the cake!

With the support of these aristocratic families, Cao Mengde could have a steady stream of food and defeat Lu Bu.

However, Lu Bu did not receive the support of the aristocratic family and was extremely short of various resources, so he was defeated by Cao Mengde.

It can be said that when Lu Bu sneaked into Yanzhou, he succeeded and failed.

Lu Bu slapped the table with a palm, gritted his teeth and said, "I am so generous to these aristocratic families, but how do they treat me?"

Speaking of this, Lu Bu suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Gong, snorting coldly, "No matter how many benefits these people give, they will not be grateful. Gongtai, do you think this marquis is right?"

Chen Gong coughed lightly to relieve the embarrassment in his heart and bowed, "Wen Hou, as long as our army has a firm foothold here, I believe those aristocratic families know how to choose?"

Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help laughing, his laughter was full of sarcasm, "Public Territory, will I still use their support when I gain a foothold?"

Speaking of this, a trace of murderous intent suddenly flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, "By that time, these people will stand up and just want to get a share of the pie!

Is this marquis leading the soldiers to fight hard just to give these aristocratic families a good deal?”

Bang!

Lu Bu slapped the table hard and roared, "Dream!"

Chen Gong didn't expect that Lu Bu was in this attitude, so he suddenly raised his heart and hurriedly bowed, "Wen Hou, but if this matter is handled inappropriately, we will not only not get their support, but also their opposition?"

A disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, "Public station, if they dare to object, let them stand up."

Chen Gong said tentatively, "What should they do if they collude with Cao Mengde?"

Lu Bu sneered, "So, I don't want to give them this opportunity."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu's tone paused and said coldly, "Public Terminal, I'll pass on my order. All land without a master will be returned to the public, and no one will disobey."

Chen Gong sighed, "What should they do if they come back to ask for land?"
Chapter completed!
