The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 125

Although Hengshan County was once occupied by the Golden Werewolf, because it was a transit point for slaves hoarding supplies, the damage suffered was not serious.Now this empty county town has regained its vitality again. More than 8 people poured into the city, making the city full of people and bustling.

However, Lin Yifan and others who were in the county government were in a gloomy mood. More than 8 people had not been sent out, which meant that Hengshan would continue to bear the food and grass for these people.Lin Yifan felt his scalp tingle when he thought that the grain and grass in the warehouse were decreasing day by day, and everyone would starve if they couldn't make it to the first season of spring harvest.what to do?what to do?
Everyone stayed in the county for several days, until most of the officials from Heishui City arrived and immediately began to carry out civil affairs management, so that the chaotic county was restored to order.At the same time, Lin Yifan immediately summoned all high-level officials to discuss the resettlement of refugees.

Han Song said with a wry smile: "My lord, we don't have much food and grass now. The most urgent thing now is to find ways to raise food and grass, which may alleviate the predicament. However, Anzhou is now dilapidated, and food and grass are more scarce than us. Is there nowhere to buy?"

"There is also Shazhou. Originally, Shazhou was also a way of retreat for us. If it is not possible, the people can also go to Shazhou for resettlement. But now that Shazhou is in full swing, the Tianyun Army has broken through the narrow gate. The trade on the long corridor and ancient road has completely stopped, and it is impossible to buy grain and grass from there." Wang Fugui shook his head and said helplessly.

"Oh, Shazhou is in such a mess?" Lin Yifan was slightly startled, "What happened to Mr. Chen and Luo Feng in Dingxi County? Did something happen?"

"Don't worry, my lord. Mr. Chen sent us all these news. Now Dingxi County is only besieged, and it won't be able to take it for a while. As for Luo Feng, there is no news yet, but they are in the mountains. Yun Jun probably wouldn't have noticed them." Wang Fugui said hastily.

Only then did Lin Yifan and Luo Yi heave a sigh of relief, but Shazhou was in dire straits, and it would be too dangerous for Chen Dengke and Luo Feng to stay there. We had to find a way to get them back.

"Anzhou and Shazhou are already dilapidated, and we can no longer accommodate these people. Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do? We can't support so many people with Hengshan alone." Lin Yifan frowned and asked weakly .

Everyone was silent when they heard the words. Without these two places for blood transfusion, Hengshan would not be able to develop at all.

"My lord, there is actually another place to choose, but it is extremely risky." Guo Huaili on the side said quietly, which attracted everyone's attention.

A strange look flashed in Lin Yifan's eyes, and he asked quickly, "Mr. Guo, please enlighten me."

"North!" Guo Huaili pointed to the north, and fell silent again, just looking at the crowd with pursed lips and faint smiles.

The simple two words, everyone immediately understood, Han Song frowned slightly, "I have thought about Guo Jiaoyu's words, but there is a grassland, and the golden werewolf is not something we can fight against. I don't know why Guo Jiaoyu Do you think that the north is the direction to solve the problem?"

"I understand." Lin Yifan said with a smile, "Mr. Guo's vision is really different. Everyone, there is a great chaos in the grassland. The invasion of the Western Golden Werewolf forced the Golden Werewolf to mobilize an army to suppress it. Then the tribes from all over the grassland The troops will become extremely empty. In addition, they have just looted countless food and grass supplies from our Tianwu territory. If we take the opportunity to go north to plunder those looted materials from Tianwu, it will be able to satisfy our food and grass problems."

Luo Yi and the other commanders were overjoyed when they heard the words, and immediately stood up and begged for orders: "My lord, this subordinate is willing to lead his troops to fight northward, please allow me!"

"Everyone, please be calm, I still have a few words to say." Guo Huaili stood up again at this time, "My lords, my lords, looting food and grass supplies can indeed alleviate the food problem, but it cannot fundamentally solve the food problem. If there is a complete solution to the food problem, it is fundamental to have land. Hengshan has many narrow mountains and few fields. It is impossible for 10,000+ people to live here for a long time. Therefore, we must develop land and provide it for the people to live and cultivate.”

Lin Yifan's eyes were full of brilliance, and there was both fear and longing in his heart, "Guo, Mr. Guo, is this land in the north?"

"That's right!" Guo Huaili looked at Lin Yifan with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, "My lord, the student once read in an ancient book that within five hundred miles to the north of Hengshan Mountain, there was a grassland called Xiazhou. Heishui The river flows northwards into this piece of grassland, and finally flows into the Xiashui to go north. In the north of this piece of grassland, the continuous Xiayang Mountains block the way to the north, and in the east, the branch of our Hengshan Mountain hovers in the north. To the east. As long as we keep the passage from Xiayang Mountain to the south, we can stop the Golden Werewolf from going south, and I will have all of this fertile land five hundred miles away."

"Absurd!" Before Lin Yifan could say anything, Han Song reprimanded, "With thousands of remnants of our army, how can we attack the grassland? How can we defend the pass? Once the Golden Werewolf finds out and sends troops to attack, will we be able to defend it? Guo Jiaoyu, what you said just now is purely on paper, nothing more than speculation, we should focus on stability now, and we must not take risks."

Guo Huaili hurriedly bowed and said: "Master Han taught you the right thing. The students don't know anything about military affairs. What you just said is just some suggestions. As for how to make a decision, it is up to you to decide."

Lin Yifan couldn't help but smile wryly as he looked at the eyes of the crowd. The Five Hundred Miles Grassland is indeed very coveted, but the risk is also extremely high.Not to mention whether the various tribes within a radius of 10,000 miles can win the battle, even if they win, whether they can defend or not is a big problem.However, if it is really possible to occupy this grassland, with this half of the state, not to mention resettling 100+ people, even [-] million people are fine.But ah, with such a small number of troops, there is no way to do anything; with such a large population, it is impossible to occupy such a vast land.

"This matter needs to be carefully considered, and we can't rush it. Let's do it this way, this time we will go north to loot and feed the people first. If there is a suitable opportunity, we will consider the issue of land expansion." In the end, Lin Yifan was left behind. In conclusion, play by ear.

After the meeting, Lin Yifan immediately saw Guo Huaili in his study, and looked at him with piercing eyes, "Mr. Guo, do you really think that grassland in the north is suitable for our foundation?"

"My lord, you may not know the origin of this grassland." Guo Huaili said with a slightly lonely face, "That grassland was called Xiazhou more than 1000 years ago, and it was the territory opened up by the Tianyuan and Tiancheng dynasties. It's a pity that after the demise of Tiancheng, Xiazhou was occupied by grassland people and no longer belonged to our Central Plains. Later history books only have a few words about this. In the eyes of the world, this place has long been a barren land and is no longer the paradise of the Central Plains. but...."

Guo Huaili looked up at Lin Yifan, and said excitedly: "My lord, this place is by no means a barren and barren place. Back then, the Tianyuan and Tiancheng dynasties occupied this place, and the relocated people lived and thrived here. This place can be cultivated or herded horses. Hundreds of years of operation in the Yuan Dynasty and Cheng Dynasty, its prosperity is almost comparable to that of Huazhou at that time. If we occupy this place, recruit refugees, cultivate rice fields, recruit herdsmen, and raise cattle, sheep and horses. Within five years, we will be able to stabilize the foundation. In today's world, the world is in chaos, and adults may not be able to take advantage of the situation and compete in the Central Plains."

Lin Yifan was thinking silently, and suddenly looked up at him, "I'm just a middle-aged person, why does Mr. Guo believe that I can make a big career?"

"Because adults are very special and different." Guo Huaili's eyes shot a gleam, "and I believe in my own vision."
