Yecheng County Government is divided into office areas and residential areas, just like in the palace, with distinct boundaries among the forbidden areas.

Ma Yuan is one of the few people who can enter the inner house without notice and appointment.

As soon as he entered the hall today, he saw Di Wulun sitting with his daughter and eating with him. The two of them were shoulder-to-shoulder, and Ma Yuan also saw Di Wulun picking up food for Ma Chanchan.

In this era, we emphasize eating by dividing cases, even if the family members are the same. Especially wives and concubines often sit on small cases on the side. The same case is regarded as a symbol of extremely intimacy. For example, Emperor Ai of Han and Dong Xian often sit and lie down and eat together...

Therefore, the rumors of the friendship and intimacy between the fifth reunion and his wife had long been outside the county government. Ma Yuan was quite pleased with this, but he was fucked by it after seeing it too much, so he coughed and declared his arrival.

When Wu Lun saw him coming, he stood up and said, "My father-in-law is back from Neihuang. Come on, let's have a few extra meals."

"No need." Although Ma Yuan was hungry, he didn't want to eat this food, he just said that there was something important to report.

After Wu Lun bowed his head and told his wife a few words, he entered the study with Ma Yuan. The bamboo slips inside were still piled up very much. Wu Lun didn't like to let his servants come in and touch them randomly. Fortunately, after having the help of the virtuous, he was much more messy and regular than before.

"Another refugee entered the country from the east of the county." Ma Yuan told the fifth reunion with a serious expression.

The fifth relationship was expected to see the surge in refugees after the autumn. Last year, Kanto had a severe drought, and locusts were raining, and some places had almost no grains in autumn. In addition, the royal army marched eastward and the red eyebrows rose, and there were many battles between the two sides, and the regional order that became the battlefield collapsed, and the people were in exile in groups.

"The people of Qingzhou and Yanzhou abandoned their hometowns, and the elderly and weak died on the road. The strong people entered the thief. Those who were unwilling to follow the thief would run to a stable and prosperous place to seek a way to survive."

Because Wei Chengjun was well-organized by the Fifth Ethics, it became a place for refugees to flock to.

The fifth reunion was initially welcomed by the people who had flown into Wei to take refuge in the country. He asked someone to release 500 soldiers in Liyang to identify the people who came across the river, collect heavy taxes on the rich, and recruit poor people who have no livelihoods to serve as soldiers. He regained refugees to recruit refugees to form a unit, which led to the current situation. Now those refugees who had joined the army early and made many contributions have already been allocated thirty or fifty acres of land in Wushi County.

But if too many refugees pour in, it is also a big problem. Moreover, the passage from Yanzhou to Weicheng is not just Hejin.

Ma Yuan cursed: "After the county east river is changed, the Wei land lost a natural danger. The refugees from Shouliang County can come directly. The two thousand county soldiers under the command of Ling Shixiong were only able to guard Yuancheng well, and they could not stop them at all. They were simply a dustpan."

For these refugees, the fifth relationship is called "smuggling".

Some people also sneaked in by Pinghe County (Qinghe County) in the northeast of Wei Cheng. I heard that there were already many refugee commanders gathering hundreds or thousands of people there to carry out affairs, but the government could not stop them.

The control of the fifth reunion in the six counties east of the county is not strict and is still in a state of "autonomous".

Ma Yuan told him: "There are at least thousands of refugees who sneaked in from the east of the county in the autumn harvest, most of whom were recruited by powerful people such as Guantao Dong family and Pingen Xu family as Liuyong tenant farmers and serfs."

Why can a powerful family gather more than a thousand people? In addition to the local servants recruited, most of the exiled people were recruited. The refugees depended on the Haoyou in order to survive, making their power stronger.

But Haoyou's appetite was also limited, so some refugees wandered aimlessly in Wei, and even ran to the Ma Yuan defense zone.

These refugees are not all honest people, running around in groups, which greatly damages local order.

Wu Lun just finished the northwest affairs, and now there is another trouble in the east, so he really doesn't give him any time to breathe: "It seems that the open opening of the county east must be blocked."

This is a good opportunity to intervene in the east of the county. Di Wulun looked at the map and said, "Father-in-law walks, lead his troops to the east and move to Yin'an County (Nanle, Henan). Then use the same trick again and continue to recruit troops."

"Even if you strangle a hole in Yin'an, refugees can come from Yuancheng and other places, and treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

Ma Yuan has always been bold and smiled and said, "I have an idea to do it once and for all!"

He pointed to the old Dahe Road on the map, the area in the middle of the new road: "Let me rush my troops eastward to advance the area controlled by Wei Cheng, and advance eastward to the new Dahe Road!"

The fifth reunion said: "You mean, for Shouliang County, which has collapsed and has been huddled in the county town to avoid the red eyebrows, it has governed six counties including Dongwuyang and Liaocheng, and pushed the boundary controlled by our county to the new Dahe Road, and deployed defenses along the river to control the entry of refugees?"

"Yes." Ma Yuan said: "This place is Liaocheng, the western border of Qi during the Warring States Period. It is flat and fertile, without the obstacles of mountains and rivers. It is often a north-south and west-south channel. It is also connected to the Wei territory in the west, which is the lips of our county. During the Warring States Period, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Qi often compete for this. If you can get it, you can defend the red eyebrows on the new river and avoid letting refugees enter and exit at will."

This is indeed a good way, but one of the main reasons why the fifth reunion is willing to take the six counties in the east and east is that the officials under his command are all short of their troops and are mainly devoted to the three counties in the northwest, and they are missing the other.

Therefore, although Ma Yuan's plan was ambitious, Di Ren felt that it was not appropriate to suddenly spread the plate, and instead he would bear six more counties with order collapse as a burden.

What's more, this is a cross-border capture of land in other counties. The king's army cannot do it before it is defeated. If you have to wait for the matter of expanding the territory.

"We have to recruit another group of subordinate officials and recruit another two thousand soldiers to do this."

Ma Yuan went to prepare for the transfer to the east of the county, but Geng Chun came to him again.

However, Geng Junzheng wanted to report to the fifth relationship to the county's plan.

"Boyu, Boyu, as you said, it is different to have swords and weapons in your hands. Compared with the wanton deceptions of the counties when we first arrived in Weicheng last year, this year's autumn harvest plan, all counties in the county have been handed over in advance."

"Do you dare not to make friends?" Di Ren sneered. Not to mention the killing of chickens to warn the monkey last year, he used heavy troops to destroy the Li family and seize the three northwest counties. No matter the county magistrate or the powerful, he would not be trembling and panic after hearing this. At this moment, no one dared to make a first bird.

In addition to the "Three Zhaos" in the north of the county, the Fifth Reunification Sect Feng Yan and Zhao Liu of Handan were to exempt the rent and taxes from the three counties. Now his top priority is to control the east of the county, and he can only temporarily tolerate the three little pigs sleeping soundly beside the bed, but sooner or later he will be slaughtered.

But Geng Chun also brought some bad news to the fifth reunion.

"The officials who went to various counties all heard rumors among the people, saying that you would seize the land of wealthy and small farmers in the county and share them with refugees!"

The fifth reunion has already learned about these things from Huang Qianshi, which can be regarded as a negative effect of dividing land to Zhu Tufengyong.

No matter which era, as a native who has relocated to the land, he will always be hostile to foreign refugees. His accent is very different from himself, his hungry eyes, his greed when he looked at his wife and daughter, and his living space occupied by a large number of people, are enough to make the natives naturally hate and hate the refugees, and regard them as locusts, wanting to expel and kill them before they can be quickly.

In the eyes of the Wei people, the fifth reunion is indeed the general spokesperson of foreign forces. Not only does it recruit refugees as soldiers, but it also divides the Li family into place to resettle Zhu Tufeng. Even if there is no ulterior motive behind the scenes, these rumors have a lot of survival ground.

Although the Fifth Reun can temporarily suppress all dissatisfaction with the force in his hands, as more and more refugees pour into Wei Cheng, the conflicts between local tourists will become increasingly greater.

Wei Cheng's land, food and cake were so big, and the people were not enough to share the fifth relationship with the local tyrants, and the continuous refugees became even more nervous.

There is no way out for keeping inverted, and in the end, you can only cross the county boundary and make the plate bigger. Ma Yuan's proposal lingers in the heart of the fifth reunion and can be set as the future goal.

However, when Geng Chun proposed to send his subordinates to announce the county government's policies everywhere to quit the rumors, the fifth reunion felt that it was useless.

As we all know, rumors are tempted, rumors are broken, and people are justified. There is no precise inciting anxiety, so his current countermeasure is...

"Only rumors can fight against rumors!"

Huang Chang was very good at this matter, and the fifth reunification had already sent him to take his subordinates to do it.

"Just go to various counties to promote it, the Red Eyebrow Army is about to cross the river to come to Wei Cheng. Ruohao's people are not reunited by the Fifth Gong to deal with it together, and the peace of Wei will be lost!"

Geng Chun smiled and said, "But there is clearly a rumor outside that it was the king's victory in Wuyan."

Wu Lun shook his head: "It is precisely because of Wuyan's victory that Chimei wants to cross the river."

This makes sense.

"I will continue to spread: 'The army of the king is going to chase the Red Eyebrows. When Wei Cheng comes across the river, the people of Ruohao are not reunited by the Fifth Duke to deal with each other, and the peace of Wei will be lost.'"

Geng Chun laughed with his palm and said, "What a wonderful thing, the Wei people heard that the Red Eyebrows came, but they were incontinent. If they heard that the King's Master came, they would probably be pissed off and they would run away and become refugees."

Anyway, these two are synonyms for the evil and vicious civilians of Wei Dihao. Red Eyebrow is a typical refugee-superior thinking, sweeping all over the country, relying on looting to make a living, mainly killing middle and upper-class people, but it is inevitable to harm innocent people.

The king's army is even more pure. General Gengshi and the army of the Taishi mainly kill the middle and lower classes. The salt-free massacre is an example. The out-of-control army goes crazy and even the powerful are fighting!

Although the song outside sings "It's better to meet the red eyebrows than to meet the king's army", it is better to avoid encountering both.

Since the Wei people were afraid that the fifth reunion would sacrifice their interests to support refugees, it would increase greater panic and exaggerate the invasion of external forces, so that the powerful Wei Chengjun County could understand that they had no choice but to lean on the fifth reunion. After all, any one person would be the only one who took it out, they would definitely not be the opponent of the King's Army or the Red Eyebrow.

However, Geng Chun asked Di Wulun and said that he would leave Wei County for a while.

Wu Lun was stunned: "Boshan, aren't you going to learn from me to resign, right?"

Geng Chun shook his head: "No, General Gengshi sent an envoy to scold Boyu, and asked Zhu Tufeng to join Wuyan in the early October?"

"Of course, the Zhu Tufeng brave men fought with the Li family and suffered heavy casualties, and the Wei land's 'rebellion' has been one after another. How can we do it?"

"These things must be told to General Gengshi, and ordinary officials may not be able to do so."

Geng Chun took the initiative to ask for his order: "It's better for me, Dai Boyu, to see if the king's army is really a great disaster in Wuyan, and whether the main force of the Red Eyebrow has been destroyed."

This is related to Wei Chengjun's future choice, and it really requires a trustworthy person to check the situation.

But it was so chaotic outside that it was a risk when it came out of Wei. It was not like Geng Chun's style. The fifth reunion looked at him in confusion, and Geng Chun also told the truth.

He put away his usual hippie smile and said solemnly: "The Red Eyebrow King's Army will be the winner and lose. The situation in Yanzhou is not good. I am worried about the safety of my father and want to go to Dingtao by the way!"
