The matter is now a big deal, and the people who know that they have caused a big disaster are stunned!

The timid set off overnight to return to his hometown, and he didn't even bother to ask for his wages.

Those who are meticulous will stay and wait and see what the consequences of the compatriots who returned home early will have, see if the government will pursue the matter, and then decide whether the next step is to go or stay?

At this time, Fang Li stood up again and said with guilt: "Dear people, Fang Li originally wanted to help you so that you would not give your sweat in vain. Unexpectedly, he was exploited by those who were interested and spread rumors, which made everyone homeless..."

People from all countries stood on the walls and listened quietly to Fang Li's speech. They had no hatred for this kind and humble general. They were originally kind, so what was wrong?

Isn't this the case? All the simple people think so in their hearts.

"Since Fang Li has caused you to have difficulty returning home, I must be responsible for it. If everyone is willing to stay, Fang Li will report to the court that food, farm tools, oxen will be distributed according to the population, and land will be provided for free. The court provides supplies to help you repair your houses, and exempts taxes for ten years and will not be charged."

After hearing Fang Li's words, some poor people who had had a marriage with the government or offended the gentry decided not to go back, so as not to be framed and imprisoned, and at least there is still a way out for survival after staying there!

"Does the general take this seriously?"

Fang Li stood at the close, letting the autumn wind blow, and patted his chest and said, "We Fang Li guaranteed with the head of the neck in front of the soldiers and would never break his promise!"

"Since that's the case, we won't go back, so as not to be framed by the government and the gentry!"

Under Fang Li's instigation, nearly 10,000 people from Liang State and Guo State planned to stay and settle down.

In order to dig out gold, almost all the people of these people went to battle, with young and old, and most of the families were barely indifferent and didn't have much concern.

But more people are still in a wait-and-see state, waiting anxiously around Chiyang Pass to see what will happen to those fellow villagers who go home early?

The news came soon. Feng Xi, the prefect of Daliang County, Liang State, was furious and sent more than 5,000 people back to the country to prison in one breath, and cut off more than 100 people's heads, saying that they bewitched the people and surrendered to Yu, and all the rest were sent to the north to build the Great Wall.

The people who had not set off or were already on the road were stunned. The world was so big that there was nowhere to go, so they could only help the elderly and the young and return to join Fang Li.

"We have nowhere to go, and we are willing to serve General Fang, please take it in!"

In the squeaking autumn wind, more than 50,000 homeless people of Liang surrendered to Fangli and asked to take them in.

Fang Li was respectful to the wise and the wise men personally helped some old men up, and said with tears in his eyes: "Please rest assured that Fang Li is here, you will definitely not lose your food and drink!"

The people of Guo State were not much better, and more than 3,000 people who returned home early were also punished.

However, because Guo State is still in an alliance with Yu State, the punishment is not as serious as Liang State. Most of the taxes doubled for five consecutive years, and they went to the border to serve half a year of corvee service.

Even though the punishment was so light, nearly 10,000 people from Guo still chose to stay, rely on Fang Li, enjoy the subsidies provided by Yu, and then make other plans after the popularity has passed a few years.

Chong'er, the prime minister of Jin, first saw through Fang Li's tricks and rushed to the border to recruit people, so that they could return to their country quickly and let them not blame them.

There were not many Jin people who came to Wangwu Mountain to dig gold, with about 10,000 people in total. Moreover, the two countries had been fighting for many years and had a deep grudge. Fang Li was also afraid that there would be spies among them. Since they were about to leave, they would not force them to turn on and switch and let them go.

As for the gold diggers from Qin and Zhao, there were not many people coming from afar, and they did not cause much impact. Seeing that the situation was not good, they sneaked back to their hometowns quietly, and Fang Li didn't ask for anything extravagant.

There were only more than 10,000 local residents and five or six thousand defenders in Chiyang Pass, which suddenly increased by nearly 80,000 people, and it was suddenly overcrowded, resulting in the inability to stay in the pass.

Fang Li ordered a large number of tents to be allocated for the people to temporarily stay outside the city, and at the same time opened the granary to provide relief to the people. After appeased the people, he quickly returned to Pinglu and asked Duke Xiang of Yu and Bailixi for food and supplies to settle the people.

When the morning sun rose, Fang Li looked down at the gate with Zhang Liao, Qu Yi and Zhurong, and saw the people in a vast crowd, crowded and lively manner.

Fang Li stroked the wall and shouted loudly: "In the troubled times, a real man should carry a three-foot sword and achieve unparalleled achievements, rather than being a farmer who is buried in the farmland, and is unknown. Our country of Yu is at the moment of employment. If anyone is willing to join the army, his military salary will be doubled and his family will take good care of him!"

After a pause, he added: "Of course, if you really don't want to join the army, you can continue to be your farmer and build a city wall for me. The subsidies and remunerations I promised are a lot of money!"

The crowd immediately became excited, and many men who had difficulty returning home simply turned their minds and signed up to join the army. They gained some fame and fortune in troubled times, earned some military pay, and supported their families.

After a day, dozens of conscription departments recruited more than 8,000 strong men, and more than 13,000 people were unwilling to join the army. They were only willing to be farmers to serve labor service in Yu State, but they had to pay wages.

Fang Li and the three generals under his command couldn't stop laughing, and agreed one by one, leading hundreds of confidants to work hard all night, register and organize the team.

Fang Li ordered Zhang Liao, Qu Yi and Zhu Rong to be promoted to lieutenants, each commanding 3,000 people, and formal training will start tomorrow. As for the lack of armor and weapons, he will ask the court for it and try to solve it.

In just over a dozen days, Chiyang Pass had earth-shaking changes. Deputy General Yan was stunned and could hardly believe his eyes.

Fang Li used a brief plan to add 80,000 people to the Yu State, while the entire Yu State had a population of only 600,000.

In terms of merit, Fang Li took only more than ten days to make Baili Si, Yan Ti, Du Xi and others' ten years of achievements perfect, which made Yan Ti obey, and he had to accept it!

The Liang State suddenly lost one-tenth of the people, and the government was shocked. The king Liang Weihou was furious and ordered the prefect of Daliang County Feng Xi to behead the country's laws.

Although Feng Xi died, the people who were straying arrows could no longer be saved. The king and minister of Liang could only look at Wang Wushan and sigh, and hated the guy named Fang Li so much that he was itchy!

The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is getting cooler.

Seeing his subordinates gradually becoming stronger and stronger, the troops in Chiyang Pass soared from 2,000 to 10,000 in just half a month, Fang Li was in a good mood and suddenly felt that conquering the world was no longer a distant dream.

After dark, Fang Li held a banquet to celebrate the ceremony. Yan Ti, Zhang Liao, Qu Yi, Zhurong and others all came to the meeting, and they exchanged cups and drank them happily.

As the banquet was about to end, Fang Li said to everyone: "The people have almost settled down and the team has expanded. I will set off early tomorrow morning to go back to Pinglu to ask for supplies, armor and weapons from the lord and the prime minister. You should stay in the gates."

"Here!"

The generals clasped their fists and promised each other and dispersed.

Fang Li was lying on the bed, and the bright moonlight shone on the bed, and the system prompt sound in his mind rang: "Congratulations to the lord for winning 80,000 people for the Yu Kingdom and receiving the reward of 80 merit points. Congratulations to the lord for recruiting 5,000 elite soldiers and receiving the reward of 50 merit points."

"The lord has completed military and political tasks excellently, greatly improving the national strength of Yu State, and has obtained 3 points of dominance bonus, 3 points of intelligence bonus, and 3 points of internal affairs bonus. The current four-dimensional changes are as follows: Fang Li - dominance 78, martial spirit 84, strategy 85, internal affairs 68."
