"Such a crazy recruitment of troops is really unbearable..." Liu Hao turned his head and asked, "Prajna, how is the current economic situation?"
Qin Banruo's cheeks swirled and he said: "My Lord, the second batch of Moutai Immortal Brew has been released from the cellar. The funds obtained from the sale, plus the war horses and other resources brought by Master Su Shuang from the grassland..."
"As long as my lord doesn't use so much force, we can maintain the situation within three years!"
"That's good!"
Liu Hao breathed a sigh of relief. This is almost the limit of Xuzhou. If you want to have more resources and troops, you have to occupy more land to support the population...
While everyone was discussing the matter, a guard in golden clothes suddenly came in from outside the door and said in Liu Hao's ear: "My lord, there is news from Langya..."
"Zhan Zhao is back!?"
Liu Hao suddenly became interested, stood up and asked, "Has Commander Zhan brought the people back?"
"Something seems to have happened... I will wait until the commander arrives and report to the lord in person..."
The Jin Yiwei was casually waved away by Liu Hao.
Now under Liu Hao, the army is led by generals, Qin Banruo is in charge of finance, and Diao Chan is in charge of news in various places.
Dongchang Jinyiwei is responsible for all dangerous matters or special tasks.
The official position of commander was made up by Liu Hao out of thin air. Under him, he was on the same level as an ordinary general.
The Zhan Commander Jin Yiwei mentioned was Zhan Zhao, who was assigned by Liu Hao to coordinate various actions in the East Factory.
"Master Zhan is here!"
Say Zhan Zhao, Zhan Zhao is here.
With a tall and slender body, he strode into the hall, swung the hem of his Feiyu suit and black cloak with his right hand, and prostrated himself on the spot. He was very chic and cool...
Liu Hao designed the Jinyi Wei Feiyu suit based on the film and television images in his mind. It is indeed very stylish...
Zhan Zhao knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, I went to Langya this time, but found nothing... After looking around, I found out that the Zhuge family my lord was looking for has moved away... Now at home,
The building was empty..."
"What, moved away?"
Liu Hao sighed slightly in his heart, he just missed Zhuge Liang!
Yes, you heard it right!
Liu Hao sent people to look for Zhuge Liang!
The Zhuge family was originally from Langya, Xuzhou, but later moved to Jingzhou, where Wolong Kongming was born!
"My lord, what is so different about this Zhuge family that can make my lord care about me like this?"
Zhan Zhao didn't understand. He had only seen Liu Hao value Guo Jia so highly...
"Xiong Fei (Zhan Zhao's cousin), you don't know something...not only is Zhuge Liang a talented person, but his two brothers, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Jun, are also great talents!"
Liu Hao pinched his eyebrows and said with a wry smile.
Zhan Zhao didn't understand, but Liu Hao knew very well. According to the original Three Kingdoms book, Zhuge Jin was the minister of Soochow, and Zhuge Jun was the minister of Cao Wei. These three brothers were known as the "dragon, tiger, and dog".
Liu Hao felt a little regretful that he could not recruit Zhuge Liang under his command, but he was immediately relieved: "No matter how evil Zhuge Liang is, he is just a teenage boy now. Let him develop naturally for a few years..."
If the orange grows in Huainan, it becomes orange; if it grows in the north of Huaihe, it becomes orange.
Liu Hao certainly understands this truth.
...
After the banquet was over, Liu Hao returned to his mansion.
The system defaulted on rewards and was stuck in upgrades. He didn't know when it would get better. Liu Hao was bored and prepared to undress and sleep.
Suddenly, the personal guard reported softly outside the door: "My lord, Xun Yu, the military advisor on the left, and Xu Shu, the military advisor on the right, are already waiting in the front hall!"
"The two major military advisors stationed in Yingchuan County have all arrived. Did something big happen?"
Liu Hao's heart moved, he stopped what he was doing, and walked directly towards the meeting hall in front.
"Xu Shu, meet my lord!"
"Xun Yu, meet my lord!"
Before reaching the door of the meeting hall, Xun Yu and Xu Shu were already waiting at the door.
"Two military advisors, please wake up quickly!"
Liu Hao quickly stepped forward and helped Xu Shu and Xun Yu up with one hand in each hand.
"Alas! The two military advisors have lost a lot of weight. You must take care of yourself and don't work too hard..."
Liu Hao's mood was a bit complicated, and he gave his instructions in a serious tone.
Although there are still Liu Bowen, Chen Deng and others, they cannot let their advisers be too tired...
"Being able to serve our lord is what we should do..." Xu Shu clasped his fists and smiled. Not only did he become leaner, but his chin also started to have a short beard specially designed for counselors...
"As one who eats the emperor's salary, it is natural to be loyal to the emperor. Yuan Zhi and I should dedicate ourselves to serving the lord..."
Xun Yu, like Xu Shu, was very moved and hurriedly bowed and said.
"By the way, Yuan Zhi, Wen Ruo, how is the situation in Yingchuan County now?"
Liu Hao asked, Yingchuan, the original base camp, has officially become a springboard.
Xun Yu said: "This is what Yuan Zhi and I want to report to the lord this time. Yuan Zhi, it's up to you to do the talking."
"good!"
Xun Yu gave up the opportunity to speak. Xu Shu smiled slightly and said, "My lord, now the people of Yingchuan County have begun to flow out..."
"What!?"
Liu Hao was startled and said: "No way, Yingchuan County has been in business for a long time and the people's support can be used. How could such a thing happen?"
Xun Yu smiled and said: "Don't be joking, Yuan Zhi. In fact, the main thing is that the Lord's appointment as Xuzhou Shepherd has been spread to Yingchuan County. Some of the people under his rule have already brought their families and are preparing to move to Xuzhou.
..”
The people of Yingchuan County lived under Liu Hao's rule, with taxes reduced and land cultivated. Their lives were now many times better than before.
"Unexpectedly, it turns out that this is the case... If they are willing to come, Xuzhou must accept them. When they take over the whole state in the future, they must promulgate some policies that benefit the people, and try their best to ensure that the elderly are supported and the young are supported.
Something to rely on..."
Liu Hao sighed in his heart and immediately made a decision.
"My lord is benevolent, righteous and wise, I admire you!"
Xu Shu and Xun Yu both had a look of emotion in their eyes.
Recruiting refugees has always been a thankless task.
There are thirteen states in the world, and most state pastors and governors drive the refugees under their control to other states and counties to maintain public order and management under their own control.
No one looked at Liu Hao and was willing to receive and resettle these refugees.
It is this that proves that Liu Hao is not only a capable hero, but also has the last bit of benevolence...
Therefore, Xu Shu and Xun Yu followed Liu Hao wholeheartedly...
