Chapter 51 Preparing for War

 In Lin Mo's opinion, the first thing to do when coming to Jiujiang should be to recognize people.

After all, he is General Zuo, the son-in-law of Marquis Wen. This is an important supporter of the Lu family. How can you not recognize him?

But the brain circuit of the father-in-law was obviously different from Lin Mo. After he was brought to the General Mansion and Chen Gong got to know each other, he directly started the government affairs mode. A lot of things that required him to make decisions before were placed in front of Lin Mo.

in front of.

"I originally wanted to see what Yuan Shu's palace was like, and get to know the lieutenant general of the army." Lin Mo looked at Lu Bu with some grievance.

But Lu Bu no longer showed his previous sincerity in Xiaoguan, and said arrogantly: "Look at it, these are military and political affairs that require my approval and seal before they can be implemented. Although you are extremely smart, you still lack experience. Now I am

I have to pull out the seedlings to encourage them to grow.”

I feel like I've been ripped off again.

Looking at the official documents that were piled up on a hill, Lin Mo was a little frightened, "Actually, the father-in-law can leave these matters to Gongtai, Yuanlong and the others."

"They can give me advice, but they can't decide for me." Lu Bu flipped through one of the documents and answered without looking up.

"Could it be that even Mr. Gongtai can't do it?"

In Lin Mo's impression, the Confucian scholar who welcomed him to Yanzhou should be extremely trusted.

This question made Lu Bu startled for a moment, then he put down the official document and sighed slightly, "The public platform is good, but sometimes we get too close to the lieutenant generals. If we can delegate the power of personnel decisions,

If you give it to him, it's easy for him to get into trouble."

If you don’t believe in straightness, you must beware of being unkind...

Is this my father-in-law? Why does he seem so smart?

Lin Mo asked tentatively: "So my father-in-law didn't want to take me to the military camp to meet the generals just now? We can't get too close to each other."

Lu Bu raised the bamboo slip as if to knock it down, but finally put it down reluctantly. After rolling his eyes at him, he said, "The army regularly holds martial arts exercises. If you feel that your military position is too low, you can go up and challenge it. The generals will be back by then, and I will lead you again."

You should go to the military camp to avoid missing anyone."

"Just joking." Lin Mo curled his lips, picked up the bamboo slips and began to review them.

They are all government affairs related to water conservancy, farming, tax adjustment, population registration and personnel decisions.

These tasks are indeed quite energy-consuming.

As Lu Bu said, the people below can only give suggestions on what to do, but it is impossible for them to make decisions, otherwise problems will easily arise over time.

"Who reported this? There are 39,500 refugees accommodated, and the daily rations are 1,823 dan. How is it possible that these refugees can eat so much in a day?"

Lu Bu glanced at it and said casually: "Maybe you are a very hungry person and you should eat more."

"There are standards for opening grain warehouses. Each person can only receive one day's rations. It has nothing to do with how much they eat." Lin Mo emphasized.

More than 1,800 stones are converted into more than 200,000 catties of grain. The standard of relief grain is one catty per person per day, which is a difference of hundreds of thousands.

You know, this is just one day.

What about a month?

With just this little food and grass from Lu Bu, how many people can be saved to cross the land of three counties to increase the population?

Seeing that Lin Mo didn't seem to be making a fuss, he said: "Yang Hong reported it. Yuan Shu had a long history, and he thought that it would be easier to get the support of scholars by appointing some Huainan heroes."

"Either he enriched his own pockets, or another possibility is that a powerful local family released their serfs to join the ranks of the refugees to defraud relief grain."

Hearing this, Lu Bu's deep eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, and the bamboo slips in his hand shattered into powder with a slight exertion of force, "These bastards actually picked out the relief food from the mouths of the refugees!"

After he finished speaking, he showed a helpless and annoyed expression, "Look at Yunwen, this world is like this. It will be difficult for you to get a foothold without these people. If you use these people, they will continue to suck the bones and blood of the people as always. Sooner or later, there will be

One day I will raze all these powerful families to the ground."

"Yes, humble farmers are not human beings in their eyes, just like animals." Lin Mo was deeply touched by this.

Lu Bu suggested that Yang Hong should be killed and all his property taken away from his family. It’s really hateful that you come to fight against the autumn wind when you are so poor.

As for whether he would offend other aristocratic families, Lu Bu didn't think too much about this issue. He usually respected the aristocratic families as an attitude, expressing that he was not a reckless man, but he still understood etiquette, and it was not impossible to give in occasionally.

But if you think of me as a fool, then that’s not the case.

Lin Mo is very supportive. His disdain for powerful people from aristocratic families is no worse than Lu Bu's. What's more, this time it was indeed Yang Hong who was derelict in his duties, and there is evidence to punish him.

However, this work still needs to be carried out. Lin Mo's advice to Lu Bu is that the next relief food will be turned into work food. If you want to eat, you can work first.

It is now the time of spring plowing. The original idea was to allow all the influx of refugees to go to the three counties to open up wasteland using curved shaft plows and keel waterwheels. However, I did not expect that the influx of refugees would be too huge.

In this case, let’s just digest it locally first. Jiujiang also needs to open up wasteland and plant crops. In this way, even if some black-hearted families bring their serfs to receive relief grains, it will be fine and they can work as part-time workers.

By the way, we need to select craftsmen from this group of refugees. I am afraid that the next route will be inseparable from their support.

And their situation is not even as good as that of the serfs kept in captivity by powerful families. The four words scholar, farmer, industry and commerce seem to be juxtaposed. In fact, the real arrangement should be, scholar! farmer, industry and commerce.

In the following days, he followed Lu Bu to review official documents almost every day. In addition, he did not let go of bowing and practicing swordsmanship. He felt that his time was being squeezed miserably.

It lasted for eight days, and finally it was time for military exercises in the military camp.

This military exercise is grander than the previous one every season because it is the first military exercise after the two armies are combined, and this military exercise will select those who will participate in the attack on Lujiang.

Lu Bu asked Lin Mo his opinion on this matter, and he strongly agreed to capture Lujiang at all costs.

First of all, this is to relieve the worries. Another problem is that there is too much need to knock the mountain to shake the tiger. Ji Ling of Xuyi and Wu Jing of Guangling are eagerly looking forward to Yuan Shu, and the other is secretly loyal to Sun Ce. Taking Lujiang will make them

Do you know why the flowers are so red?

There is also a side benefit. Lujiang is the key county to cooperate with Zuo Rong's operation. Without Lujiang, Zuo Rong's operation will be meaningless.

"Today's martial arts performance is an important day. Let them remember your reputation as Xu Wenxiang!"

Even with Lin Mo's recommendation, in the military camp, where military merit is king, he would have to start as a centurion to break through the sky.

If we could show off our skills through this martial arts performance, the situation would be different. At least in the military camp where there are wolf-like martial arts competitions, the people below would not dare to be dissatisfied.

"I will do my best." Xu Sheng held the serial knife and was quite excited.

Perhaps she was used to it, but Lu Lingqi acted very calmly.

But Lin Mo couldn't do it. He wanted to see Zhang Babai, who was so brilliant in Xiaoyaojin, the world's top special forces camp, and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry who didn't know how much of their essence was left.Chapter completed!
