Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the prosperous concubine!No matter how many bloody storms there are outside, the people in the northwest are still living their lives peacefully.With the Mohist army present, they never seemed to worry that they would be involved in the war.It’s just that the number of refugees pouring into the northwest from Feihong Pass has gradually increased. In the beginning, the Northwest was naturally willing to accept these refugees. After all, the area of ​​the Northwest is small compared with that of Da Chu, but the population is still not too large.Even if people have continuously moved to the northwest in recent years, it still cannot change the fact that the northwest has been barren and sparsely populated since ancient times.If it was in the past, no one would flee to such a place even if it was a flee.But now two consecutive wars in the Northwest have accepted a lot of refugees, and now this war is obviously just beginning, one day the population of the Northwest will swell to the point where this land cannot afford it.For this reason, the Mohist Army urgently needs to expand its territory.

"It hasn't been two months since Xiling and Da Chu started the war, and the number of people who have poured into the northwest from Feihong Pass alone has reached 300,000. As the war continues, more and more refugees will only continue. In two months, we must close the Feihong Pass. The Northwest can't support so many people." In the spacious study room, Zhou Yu said with a solemn expression.After a few years, Zhou Yu, who was entrusted by Mo Xiuyao shortly after arriving in the northwest, was already a figure in the civil servants of Dingwangfu.After Ruyang changed his name to Licheng, Zhou Yu continued to serve as the prefect of Licheng. In the past few years, the people's livelihood in Licheng has been stable, the people live and work happy, and the more and more painful foreign merchants are due to Zhou Yu's good governance.

The faces of other people are also a little solemn. In just over a month, more than 300,000 people have poured into Feihong Pass, not to mention that the total number of refugees entering the northwest from other places has exceeded 500,000.You know, hundreds of thousands of people don't just leave a place casually.You have to eat and drink. Fortunately, if it is not winter, there will be problems with clothing and housing.They shouldn't be allowed to starve to death in large areas, let alone the question of righteousness. It's just that if so many people die of illness, it is summer that it is very likely to cause a plague and they have to be treated with care.

"If it is locked, it is very likely to arouse the anger of the refugees. Then..." Xu Hongyan, who was sitting on the side, frowned.Since Da Chu started the war, he and Xu Hongyu, who were still at ease, have both returned.Although no one said it, everyone knew in their hearts that the king would soon be ready to go out.

Mo Xiuyao leaned in the chair, with one hand on his forehead and silently listening to the people below to express their opinions.When they finished speaking, they asked, "Try to resettle those refugees. But... I don’t want to see those lazy and idle people staying in the northwest. There are also spies from various parties who have ill-conceived minds. I also don’t want to see them. Here. This matter... Wei Lin, Mo Hua, leave it to you?" Wei Lin and Mo Hua stepped forward and said in unison: "Lord, please rest assured, the subordinates will not fail the prince's trust!"

Mo Xiuyao nodded and said, "You don't need to worry about things, but... be careful not to cause any civil changes. Mr. Hongyan, you have to point them to this matter."

Xu Hongyan nodded and agreed, and said, "As the next branch should take you, the prince can rest assured."

Zhou Yu frowned slightly and asked, "Master, if refugees keep pouring into the Northwest Territory, our stock will not be able to support next year." What's more, the prince plans to send troops.There is absolutely no shortage of food and grass for the army.If we don't prevent it early, I'm afraid that many people will starve to death in the northwest this winter.

Ye Li, who has not spoken, said softly: "If it is used properly, it may not be a big problem to support it until next year. The fourth son and fifth son of Xu have had good harvests in the north in the past few years. We have also been paying attention to storing food in the past few years. In addition, Last year, the fourth son of Xu took the opportunity to write a letter to inform him that a crop called yam was introduced from the southwest. The yield is three to five times that of ordinary crops, which is suitable for alleviating hunger and growing regardless of the soil. This year, the spring has tried a season and the harvest is quite good. This kind of sweet potato is not picky about the land it is planted on. It can grow on very barren land or even sandy land. Xu Si Gongzi means that a large amount of land can be reclaimed for another season. Among them... it requires a lot of manpower. ..."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this.He is not hard-hearted. If he can, he is naturally willing to take in the people who have fled. He smiled and said: "So, what does the princess mean to these refugees to open up barren mountains?"

Ye Li nodded, and at the same time reminded him not to cut down the woods and so on.People in this era don't pay attention to these problems, and will not encounter them.But Ye Li knew that once the woods were cut down for heavy land, the climate in the northwest that was not good would only get worse.

Someone at the bottom still asked with some worry, "Even after this year, what should I do in the future?" The Northwest is only so big, but this battle is not known for how many years.However, there will only be more and more refugees, but there will always be an amount of food harvest.

Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows slightly, and met Xu Qingchen's face with a smile.There will indeed be more and more people, but...the land in the northwest will not last forever.What's more, when these refugees find that the Northwest's acceptance capacity has exceeded the tolerance range, they will leave by themselves.

After the discussion, everyone was sent off.Only Mo Xiuyao Ye Li and Xu Qingchen and Xu Hongyu were left in the study.

Xu Hongyu looked at Mo Xiuyao and asked in a deep voice, "The prince has already decided on the day of dispatching troops?"

Mo Xiuyao nodded. Although the Mo Family Army was preparing secretly, it could not be delayed for too long.If it takes too long to be discovered by an outsider, you will lose the chance to give Xiling's army a sudden blow, "Northwest is troubled by brother and uncle." Mo Xiuyao said solemnly.

Xu Hongyu frowned slightly and looked at Ye Li and said, "Li'er is going too?"

Ye Li nodded and smiled: "Yes, there is Uncle Lao."

Xu Hongyu looked at Ye Li a little disapprovingly. Although he knew his nephew daughter's martial arts was extraordinary, but it was the only seedling left behind by his only sister. Xu Hongyu showed no excuses for several sons and nephews, even his grandnephews Xu Zhirui, Xu Zhirui and Mo Xiaobao. Strict, but always worried about Ye Li.Ye Li smiled and said, "Uncle don't worry about Li'er. Grandpa agreed."

Hearing this, Xu Hongyu was a little surprised.Compared to his love for Li'er, his father and himself were not too much, how could he agree with Li'er to run into such a dangerous battlefield.After thinking about it, Xu Hongyu didn't understand but knew that his father had his own reasons for doing this. He just wanted to go back to the academy and ask his father to understand, but he stopped blocking Ye Li and sighed softly: " Well, you must be careful yourself."

"Li'er knows, uncle rest assured." Ye Li smiled.

Xu Qingchen pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "There were no more than 1.2 million soldiers and horses in the northwest, and at least half of them need to be stationed in the northwest. That is to say...you can only bring a maximum of 600,000 people on the expedition. We all secretly explored Xiling’s total soldiers and horses in 2015. The total number of soldiers and horses in Xiling has exceeded three million. Lei Zhenting has invested nearly one million soldiers and horses in Da Chu. Once you go deep into Xiling and he returns to the horse to rescue, you will be surrounded by all sides. Surrounded by more than two million people, what should we do?"
