Fu Han General's Mansion.

In the main hall in the backyard, Wu Nian was dressed very casually and sat on the main seat with a thoughtful look on his face. On the coffee table next to him, there was an opened letter.

"General, are you looking for us?" Not long after, Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Wang Youxiao, Zhang Haiping walked in from outside. Liu Zhixing led the crowd and bowed in salute.

"This is sent by Lu Sheng, the prefect of Guangchuan, at great speed. You all have a look." Wu Nian picked up the letter and stood up, handed it to Liu Zhixing and sat back.

In this ordinary exchange of official documents, the document from Lu Sheng, the prefect, will be delivered to the Fuhan General's Mansion first. In other words, the first person to see it will be Liu Zhixing.

And this letter was actually handed directly to Wu Nian.

Then something unusual must have happened.

Liu Zhixing and others all showed strange expressions, and then looked down at the letter.

"Huh?!!!" Everyone was surprised at first, then looked happy, and finally became confused.

"General, this Kyogoku family is really unfathomable. Not only can her fleet break through the pirate blockade, but it can also buy food from Chu. It's incredible."

Liu Zhixing frowned, raised his head and said in a deep voice.

"Sit down first." Wu Nian raised his right hand and asked everyone to sit down first. Then he nodded and said: "I have underestimated the Kyogoku family very much before. Now it seems that the energy of this family is greater than I thought. Moreover,

The plot must be bigger than imagined."

"We have to be vigilant. But don't worry too much. When I had three hundred elite soldiers in the year of Wu, I dared to go to war with the Meng Yuan people. What's more, this little Kyogoku family? Although I am very grateful to Kyogoku Yuki for this timely help,

But I won’t be stupid enough to do things that I can’t do or that will cause great harm to us.”

"Yes." Everyone nodded lightly. You must be grateful for providing help in times of need. But if the other party takes advantage of the favor and demands repayment, it depends on the situation.

It would be foolish to rigidly hold on to the idea that "favors must be repaid."

It is natural to repay kindness, but it must also be within the scope of one's ability.

"The letter said that Kyogoku Yuki will come to Jiang County. When she comes, I will ask directly. Let's put this matter aside for now."

At this point, Wu Nian showed a smile on his face and said: "No matter what, we have six million kilograms of grain. With this little effort, we can survive until next autumn."

"There is no need to take the initiative to go to war with Meng Yuan, Goguryeo, and Chu. It is really a big stone in my heart and my whole body has lost several pounds."

Wu Nian was not afraid of a war, but he was afraid that there would be too many casualties after the war started. Moreover, he was very unhappy to be led by Chun Yuan.

Now that Chunyuan's situation has been broken, he can take the initiative and start the war whenever he wants.

Two words.

happy.

"The general is right. I really lost a few pounds." Li Yong raised his right hand to wipe the non-existent sweat on his forehead and said with a wry smile.

Now the total number of people and refugees in Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture has exceeded two million. However, there is insufficient food. It is really hard for them to hold on.

"Hehehe." The other three people also laughed and looked relaxed.

"And now not only do we no longer need to fight one against three, we have also accepted four to five million refugees, expanding Li Tianbao's navy to reach ten thousand households. It can be said that our strength has been greatly increased, and we are even more powerful."

A smile appeared on Liu Zhixing's face, he looked up at Wu Nian, raised his hands and said: "Chunyuan drove the refugees over in an attempt to starve us to death. But the end result was that we lost the rice by stealing the chicken. It gave us an advantage.

."

Although a little cruel.

But in this era, the development of the country is inseparable from population. With the influx of refugees, Wu Nian's population increased by almost a quarter.

This is very scary. It means that next year's spring plowing will open up more acres of land, produce more food, mine more ore, and have a larger source of soldiers.

Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture. Before the plague in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the population was densely populated and land development was close to the limit. Later, the plague spread and many people died.

The Mongols and Yuan people went south, and many people fled to Liaodong.

Wu Nian raised troops in Yingqing Prefecture, and the people of Yingqing Prefecture suffered many casualties. The fields were deserted everywhere. These refugees can be resettled quickly.

This time.

Chunyuan threw his flesh into the tiger and brought humiliation upon himself.

"Hahaha!!!!" Wu Nian and others laughed heartily after hearing this. The depression was swept away, and the feeling of joy suddenly came over.

After laughing for a while, Wu Nian put away his smile, raised his head and said to everyone: "Although we won this time, the victory was not honorable. It was not because of our strength, but because of Kyogoku's rice. Be happy.

Forget it, it would be bad if you forget about it."

"Our strength is too thin and our troops are too many."

"And the problem of refugees is still there. When opening a porridge factory, you have to be careful not to cause trouble."

"Send the order. Let Chen Jiagui continue to keep an eye on Wang Zhongbi's situation in Nanhai Mansion."

"The captains of all departments are still stepping up preparations for war. The battle in Nanhai Mansion is imperative."

"Let Li Tianbao step up military training and wipe out the pirates. Also, we need to keep in touch with the Kyogoku family and other big businessmen. Make bids, pay high prices, and collect grain."

"Every time you suffer, you gain wisdom. We must collect a lot of food to prevent such a thing from happening again."

"This time I was lucky, next time I will be at the mercy of others."

At the end, Wu Nian's tone and expression were very serious. This time, it was not because of his strength that he got through the difficulties.

Wu Nian didn't like this approach.

Only when you have grain in your hands can you be calm. Whether it is grown in the land, bought, or snatched, gather grain and gather grain in large quantities.

That's the kingly way.

"Yes." Everyone was still frightened by what happened this time. When they heard this, they were immediately awe-struck and clasped their fists and shouted in response.

"Haha. Let's all go down." Wu Nian chuckled and raised his hand to let everyone go down.

"Kyogoku Yuki, what is your identity?" Wu Nian stood up and walked to the seat where Liu Zhixing was sitting. He bent down and picked up Lu Sheng's letter from the coffee table, with a look of suspicion on his face.

Intuition told Wu Nian that Yuki Kyogoku might not be a Fuso person.

Is that from Chu?

Why is she helping me? What is she planning?

Two more days passed.

That morning, in front of the gate of General Fu Han, Wu Nian was wearing a purple robe with narrow sleeves and a golden crown on his head. He did not carry a sword and stood with his head held high.

Soon after, amidst the sound of rolling wheels, a group of samurai came to the door surrounded by a carriage. The carriage stopped, and a white and tender hand opened the curtain, revealing Kyogoku Yuki's almost perfect figure.

Appearance.

She got off the carriage with the help of the maid, and walked in front of Wu Nian in small steps. She bowed and said in salute, "Excuse me, General, please wait here. I'm scared in the snow."
