The snow finally fell, not too big, as light as willow catkins.

On the snow, lines of trails stretched far away.

Lu Qingyuan exhaled a breath of heat, rubbed his face with his hands, and said, "Go back."

Turning his horse's head, he led everyone back to Wuping County.

Among the crowd, Hong A turned around with a big step, looking quite reluctant. He and most of the villagers chose to stay in Wuping County. First, the county town was close to Tongtian River and felt a sense of belonging; second, most of the villagers after the suffering were weak and it was not suitable to continue the long journey, so it was better to stay.

Stay in the county and have good treatment. Have a stable house to live in and have something to eat - of course, they will also play to their strengths and be able to do things.

Following Chen Sanlang to the capital was Hong Tiezhu, and ten young and strong people.

These young and strong people are all hunting. They have a smart mind and flexible body. They can shoot bows and arrows, play swords and sticks, and join the army. They should do something.

People return when the wind and snow are blowing!

I had no words all the way and arrived smoothly outside Laoshan Prefecture.

The adults are back!

The news soon came to the government office, and Zhou Fencao and others quickly came out to greet each other. To be honest, they were not at ease these days, for fear that Chen Sanlang would make any mistakes outside, especially after receiving a report from Lu Qingyuan that the barbarian army invaded the territory, they almost became restless.

Fortunately, thank God, the young master is safe and sound.

He was tired from the journey and needed to rest after he came back. Chen Sanlang asked Jiang Caoqi to lead Hong Tiezhu and others to the military camp, but he returned to the back house of the government office.

When he came back, his mother, Chen Wang, was full of joy. Xu Jun was also happy. When he was a wife, he had changed his demeanor and dress. He had lost some youthfulness and became more and more brilliant. His eyebrows and eyes were filled with emotion and his eyes were slightly raised, and he could pull away the soul.

The dinner was full, and after eating, Chen Sanlang returned to the room, took off his clothes, and lay in a large bucket of hot water prepared early. He felt so comfortable that his pores were about to open. He soaked for half an hour and added water three times before he came out of the bucket.

After finishing some trivial matters, Xu Jun began to grind ink. In this situation, as usual, the red sleeves add fragrance and the pen and ink are written.

Tonight, Chen Sanlang gave up only one article and said, early.

The room is burning with charcoal, warm as spring, people feel spring. As the saying goes, "Long-term separation is better than a newlywed." The snow outside is rustling, and the warmth and softness in the room is in your arms. Don't let down the infinite tenderness.

Turning clothes upside down, what a fierce battle!

The next day, Chen Sanlang woke up on time. After breakfast, he came to the public room of the government office.

He went to Tongtian River to explore the secrets, but he also shouldered the heavy responsibility of seeking food. However, when he returned, he was empty-handed, which was disappointing. There were many fish in Tongtian River, but it was not easy to catch human resources. Without crabs and cooperation with them, it would be difficult to achieve anything.

Besides, even if there are many fish in a river area, it is far from meeting the food consumption needs of Laoshan Prefecture. It can only be regarded as a gimmick or a solution to the urgent need.

In the public housing, Zhou Bian Cao Guo and Chu were all there. They never mentioned how Chen Sanlang got from going out, but reported the situation in the government. It mentioned that the government office issued a notice a few days ago, calling on the people under the jurisdiction to actively sell grain, and the results were quite good. Many people were willing to sell the excess grain after they knew the predicament of the government office.

Of course, these grains were also planted after they were divided into fields, mostly potatoes. Accumulating a small amount can temporarily alleviate the crisis.

This is open source.

We have done a good job in reducing expenses. Now there are obviously fewer refugees entering Laoshan Prefecture. Those who don’t come will not come, or they will not come anymore. According to the number reported by each county town, it is counted that there are about 80,000 people, which is really a huge number.

The number of people was implemented, and there were as many as 10,000 young and strong men who were willing to join the army and met the requirements.

This ratio is quite high!

But it is not surprising. It is difficult to escape from the famine, and it is difficult for women, children, elderly and weak to survive. Basically, those who can survive are young and strong.

From a certain perspective, this is the cruelty of survival of the fittest.

Now the big part of consuming food is actually the military camp. Training soldiers requires a large amount of food to keep soldiers strong and strong.

Zhou Fen Cao said: "Young Master, Mo Xuan is interested in training troops in Xinyi County. He has sent troops three times, all of whom went abroad to suppress bandits. He has made a lot of achievements and can almost be self-sufficient, which greatly reduces the burden. Well, you have approved this matter before."

Chen Sanlang nodded, there was indeed such a thing.

At the beginning, Mo Xuanyi wrote a letter asking for instructions, saying that this kills two birds with one stone, which can not only train troops and give new soldiers opportunities to fight; it can also collect a lot of materials to obtain support...

I have to say that Mo Xuanyi is indeed a rare talent.

It is actually not new to suppressing bandits and raising soldiers. There are examples in all dynasties. Since the war in Yongzhou, people have lived in poverty, and bandits have emerged one after another. They occupy mountains and become kings and gather in the mountains and forests, countless. The territory of Laoshan Prefecture is relatively stable, and there are few large thieves, but this is not the case elsewhere.

The so-called bandits may be all ordinary people and have no choice but to be a bandit. But no matter what, once the killing begins, there is no way to turn around. After walking on this road, it is common to burn, kill, and loot. Chen Sanlang encountered several groups along the way.

Therefore, Chen Sanlang certainly would not stop Mo Xuanyi from sending troops, and immediately allowed Mo Xuanyi to act cheaply.

This is a kind of decentralization and trust.

Since Chen Sanlang promised to train for Mo Xuanyi, he was not afraid of his own military power and had other plans. So far, Mo Xuanyi has done a very good job, knocking down several bandits in the neighboring city and confiscating a large number of supplies. Although the new recruits under his command were injured, after these fights, their growth rate was astonishing and their combat power was rising.

After listening to Zhou Fencao's statement, Chen Sanlang knew that in the near future, the operation of the city would not be too big a problem. As long as you survive this cold winter and after spring, the fields will break through the ground and all things will flourish.

This is also the result of the improvement of the government office team and the orderly operation. Even if Chen Sanlang is not there, he can do things normally and solve problems.

Chen Sanlang has always been implementing such a strategy, and as long as the time is ripe, a system can be formed.

After all, the power of one person is limited; only by the system can everyone implement it to become a general trend.

After dealing with some matters, at noon, Chen Sanlang did not go back to the back house for food, but walked out of the government office and headed towards the Taoist temple.

Entering the Taoist temple yard, the boy Mingyue greeted him happily and smiled and said, "Sir, please come in quickly."

Chen Sanlang asked: "Can your host be there?"

"He went down the mountain yesterday and was watching, so I'll report it."

Hearing the boy's answer, Chen Sanlang nodded. It would be great if the Taoist priest is there, and there is no need to go to Laoshan, which can save a lot of time.
Chapter completed!
