Chapter 422

Within a few days, Lin Yifan received news from the capital.However, due to limited space, the above content is very concise. He only knew that Jiang Yunchuan had successfully forced Cao Ji to pay 1000 million taels in the capital, while Hengshan got 700 million taels alone.What surprised him was that after getting the 1000 million taels, there was an additional condition, which was to accept 100 million refugees.

Naturally, Lin Yifan has no objection to this point. Now that the population of Shazhou and Xizhou is declining, there is an urgent need to relocate a large number of people to resettle them, so as to restore the prosperity of the past.It can be said that this 100 million population can be described as a timely rain.However, it is also a great pressure for Hengshan to accommodate such a huge population.Especially after three wars, money and food were consumed and there was not much left.Fortunately, this year's autumn harvest is approaching. If there are no accidents, it will be a bumper harvest year.As long as there is no war in Hengshan, it should be able to barely accommodate a population of 100 million.

However, when Lin Yifan continued to read, his brows could not help but frown tightly.Jiang Yunchuan was plotted by Cao Ji, and through the mouth of the emperor, he granted himself the Duke of Hua, State Shepherd of the Four States, and Jiedushi of the Three Sides, so as to drive a wedge between Hengshan and the three forces.

Seeing this, Lin Yifan took a deep breath, and his expression became serious.Cao Ji actually used the merits of the three battles to instigate the imperial court to reward him wantonly, and his intentions were really sinister.The series of alliances reached with the three parties with great difficulty before have gradually strengthened the relationship between the three parties.But I don't want to, it's really hateful to be broken by Cao Ji.

Immediately, Lin Yifan immediately called everyone to discuss.

After learning the news about the capital this time, everyone's expressions became solemn.

Lin Yifan looked at the crowd and asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, this time Mr. Jiang went south, although he won tens of millions of taels of silver for us and brought millions of people. But in the end, Cao thief's way was ruined. Forced to accept the imperial court's reward. What's your opinion on this?"

After a while, Han Song hesitated, before he said: "My lord, as we all know, this is a tactic to alienate people. However, the award is the emperor's imperial edict, which cannot be doubted; and I, Hengshan, have already used my clothes and belts to display the banner of Kuangfu the royal family. , if it violates the holy will, I am afraid that it will be used by the Cao thief to attract the people of the world to turn away from me Hengshan. The subordinates think that since the matter has come to this point, they can only accept it."

"Having said that, how can we explain to the other three parties?" Lin Yifan rubbed his forehead with a headache, "Mr. Hua, it is obviously aimed at Li Yuan. You know, the old man has been coveting this title for a long time. .Now that it falls on me, wouldn’t he be mad at him? And the trilateral military governors, who are only in name but not in reality, have caused Yan Ming’s two allies to feel resentment, it’s really not worth it.”

"This?" Han Song replied in a dilemma, "How about we send an envoy to appease him?"

"There is a crack in my heart, and it's hard to recover." Lin Yifan shook his head, "It's the job of the state shepherd of the four states. How can it be Cao Zhai'an's kindness? He is just using this to tell the world that I, Hengshan, now occupy the land of the four states. Defeating several powerful countries in the world, the strength is the first among all the heroes in the world. Let other forces be wary of Hengshan, disintegrate our alliance, and fight against Cao thief together. Hehe, Cao thief has a clever plan, I really underestimated him .”

"My lord, in fact, my subordinates think that this award is not completely useless to me, Hengshan." At this time, Ye Hongyu stroked his short beard, and said in a deep thought, "My lord accepts this award to show the world that I, Hengshan, will help the royal family." Sincerity, I think this move will definitely gain more people's hearts for me in Hengshan. Your lord's status as Hua Guogong will increase your status and reputation, which will be very effective in recruiting talents. , it means that the imperial court recognized Hengshan’s establishment of Xiazhou and Xizhou, which is tantamount to acknowledging our contribution to the country’s opening up and expanding the territory. Your Excellency, as the governor of the four states, has the recognition of the legal system. As for the three-sided festival Even though it is in name only, it also possesses the jurisdiction over the northern border defense in name, if the situation changes in the future, it may not be a hole card."

Lin Yifan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he immediately understood the meaning of Ye Hongyu's words. "Well, what Master Ye said is indeed reasonable. I don't know what you think?"

"My lord, this subordinate agrees with what Master Ye said." Guo Huaili immediately said in a clear voice after hearing the words, "Although Cao Ji's actions will definitely cause the other three parties to be dissatisfied with Hengshan, and even arouse vigilance. But this subordinate believes that according to In the current situation, the other three parties do not dare to confront me in Hengshan. You must know that the Cao bandits have gathered 60 troops and are eyeing the three parties. If it is not bad, next year will be the time for Cao bandits to counterattack. At that time, the three parties are even more urgent They need my help from Hengshan, and if they offend us, they will be the ones who will suffer. Therefore, my subordinates think that I, Hengshan, don’t need to worry about this matter, at least for the next two years, I, Hengshan, will still be the leader of the tripartite alliance.”

"My lord, I also feel what your lords said..." Under Lin Yifan's repeated questioning, everyone spoke enthusiastically.

"So, do you all agree with me accepting this award?" Lin Yifan looked around the crowd and smiled slightly.How could he not know the thoughts of the people, as his status rose, everyone could be regarded as one of them attaining the Tao, and the chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.If it weren't for some scruples, I'm afraid someone would have come to persuade him to come in.After all, Hengshan is now sitting on the land of four states, separatist in the northwest, and has more than 600 million people under its rule, which has become a trend.

After confirming to accept the canonization by the imperial court, Lin Yifan put aside his troubles about this matter, and immediately discussed with everyone how to resettle the 100 million refugees.

After deliberation, Lin Yifan finally decided that among the 100 million refugees, 60 will be resettled in Shazhou, 20 in Xiazhou, and the rest will be moved to Xizhou.This is also an unavoidable move. Today's Shazhou is in the stage of appeasement. Chen Dengke has been working hard all day for the remaining one million people in Shazhou. He really can't accept nearly double the population at once, and Shazhou The environment does not allow too many people.As for Xizhou, it is now under military control, serving as a bridgehead leading to the Western Regions.Now there are 100 troops stationed in Xizhou, and there are tens of thousands of reclamation corps, which consume countless grains and grass every day. It is really not suitable to resettle too many people at the moment.As for Xiazhou, the current population is close to 200 million, and it is located in a land with abundant water and grass and fertile land. It is not difficult to resettle a mere 20 people.

However, what confuses everyone the most is that they have to invest tens of millions of taels of silver from Thief Cao and the other three parties, so they will have to invest in these refugees.Originally, they wanted to borrow this money to purchase a large amount of materials and resources to support the reconstruction of Shazhou and build weapons.

Seeing everyone's distressed expressions, Lin Yifan shook his head helplessly, thinking silently in his heart that opening up the Western Regions must be done as soon as possible.

Just when everyone was arguing endlessly about how to save money and food for the refugees, Niu Dali hurried in and handed a letter of information to Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan opened it suspiciously, and his expression changed drastically.Looking up at the surprised crowd, he said coldly: "Everyone, according to the news from Yanzhou, half a month ago, Donghu people established a country on the grassland, and the name of the country is Tianmeng."

What, Donghu people actually established a country?Everyone was shocked. They never expected that Donghu people, who had always been ignorant and backward, would learn the Central Plains system and openly establish a country.

"It's not over yet. One day after the founding of the country, the Donghu people officially launched a counterattack against the Golden Werewolf, and the soldiers pointed directly at Sirius City." Lin Yifan held the information tightly, and looked at everyone with a serious face, "Everyone, the Golden Werewolf is about to end, Our war is coming."
