Rebirth God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 438: Refugees to Bingzhou

Jizhou is rich, and the world knows that many refugees choose to go to Jizhou, wanting to settle down in the wealthy Jizhou.

In the face of the refugees, Yuan Shao ordered the generals in the army to go to the refugees to select young people and join the army. In less than half a month, they formed an army of ten thousand people, and Jizhou had no extra food and grass to maintain more refugees. The cities were strictly ordered not to take in people, and the desperate refugees could only choose to go to Bingzhou, which was their last hope.

Within half a month, the number of people gathered outside Huguan reached 30,000. In fact, the number of people who went to Bingzhou was far more than that. Many people saw that the road was far away, and they directly traded strongmen along the way, robbing passers-by. , When the first batch of refugees arrived in Hanoi, Xu Huang sent a fast horse to inform the prefecture and shepherd's office, and only dared to let the refugees in after receiving the order.

On the way from Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Sili to Bingzhou, people can be seen everywhere starving to death by the road. People who have no money and food can only rely on the bark and grass roots along the way to feed their hunger, which also causes the trees along the way to basically die. , even more bleak.

The arrival of the refugees made Lu Bu have to give up the further capture of Hedong. Hedong was rich and had only a lot more troops than Hanoi. The aristocratic family entrenched in Hedong, one can imagine the resistance to Bingzhou. Lu Bu originally planned to use thunder. The capture of Hedong and then the threat to Chang'an made the refugees hold back.

"My lord, the number of refugees outside Huguan has reached 30,000 at this time. It is said that more refugees are coming to Bingzhou. Outside Huguan, there are many more thieves and robbing people. If things go on like this, I am afraid it will affect the Go to Bingzhou." Jia Xu worried, if Bingzhou's businessmen went to other states, they would be harassed by these bandits, the most troublesome thing was these 30,000 people, not that Bingzhou could not accommodate 30,000 people today, but these Apart from consuming the food and grass in Bingzhou, what else can the refugees do? If there is no land, they can cultivate it, but without rice, even if they enter Bingzhou, they will cause chaos in the place.

Bingzhou has not suffered a locust plague. It does not mean that the locust plague will not come. If Bingzhou wants to capture the land east of the river, it needs more food and grass to maintain it. The 30,000 people are only for now. If other refugees know that there is a way to survive in Bingzhou, That's not the flock to Bingzhou.

Lü Bu sighed: "The people went to Bingzhou because of their trust in Bingzhou. They are all people of the Han Dynasty. How can this lord just sit back and ignore it?

Although Jia Xu had long guessed that Lu Bu would say this, after he really said it from Lu Bu's mouth, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the stadium was a little dignified.

"My lord, Bingzhou doesn't have much money and food. If it accepts so many people, the state shepherd's house may not be able to afford it. Jizhou is rich, why not let the people go to Jizhou." Chen Tian worried.

Bingzhou has not been hit by a locust plague for the time being, but there are not many fields in Bingzhou, and the autumn harvest is about to happen. That is to say, if these refugees are allowed to enter Bingzhou, the state shepherd's house will need to bear their food and drink for half a year. This is not thousands of people. It is 30,000 people. Even if it is saved, the daily consumption of grain and grass can reach a thousand stone. Now the Bingzhou army in Jinyang alone has reached 50,000 people. This is not counting the soldiers and horses of the other cities in Bingzhou.

With Jinzhi, Jinjiu, and the profits brought by the war horse, Bingzhou really didn't have to worry about food and grass before, but it was just no need to worry. Youzhou has just stabilized and it is good to be self-sufficient.

It was the merchants who really supported Bingzhou. However, after the plague of locusts, would the princes still sell their grain to Bingzhou? For example, Jizhou, at this time, wished that Bingzhou fell into the quagmire of refugees, and would definitely order the family under its rule not to sell Bingzhou grain.

"The people have to be rescued. The prefecture and shepherd's government will first organize troops and horses to go to Huguan, and organize the people to build simple houses and provide food for the people." Lv Bu ordered.

"No." Li Su said helplessly.

After the crowd dispersed, Lü Bu kept Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Li Su, Chen Tian, ​​Zhao Yun, and Mi Zhu behind.

"The Marquis predicts that at least 100,000 people will rush to Bingzhou,

You should prepare in advance. "Lu Bu said slowly.

Jia Xu nodded slightly, these situations are to be expected, once Bingzhou chooses to accept these refugees, I am afraid that more people will go to Bingzhou.

"The feudal lords don't care about the people, it's not an opportunity for Bingzhou. As long as these 100,000 people can be completely left in Bingzhou, once the disaster is over, it will play a huge role." Lu Bu said.

"Zilong led a thousand soldiers to Huguan, to maintain order, to wipe out the bandits gathered around Huguan, to select young and strong refugees, and after passing the assessment, they entered the army. People are temporarily under the rule of Zilong, not only to wipe out thieves, but this prince wants an elite teacher."

"Here!" Zhao Yun clasped his fist and said, he knew that if the 10,000 army was successfully trained, he would lead one of them.

"I ordered Master Cheng, the craftsman's workshop, to go to Huguan to select craftsmen. Isn't there a shortage of craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop, but now the princes have solved the trouble for the prince." Lv Bu laughed.

Perhaps it was Lu Bu's relaxed tone that infected the crowd. For a while, they felt that it would not be difficult even if there were 100,000 refugees. The Bingzhou Army's standing army was only 50,000, and adding 10,000 seemed to be nothing. It was just Li Su. He Chen Tian's face was not so relaxed, and the consumption of the Bingzhou army was huge. The two people who were in charge of Bingzhou's money and food were very clear that a 10,000-strong army was more difficult than feeding 20,000 people.

"From now on, the salaries of Bingzhou army officers and soldiers will be temporarily suspended, the salaries of civilian officials will be temporarily reduced by half, and soldiers and soldiers in the army will be replaced with two meals a day. This Marquis will personally go to the army and explain to the soldiers and soldiers. , will be added together." Lu Bu looked at Li Su and asked, "Is there any difficulty for the officials?"

Li Su hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "My subordinates will definitely try their best." They also knew that Bingzhou was at a critical moment, and even the salaries of the lieutenant generals were temporarily suspended, and the salaries of civilians were halved.

"Zizhong can secretly buy food and grass from other states and counties, no matter the price." Lu Bu said.

"My lord, if the princes know that Bingzhou is buying grain and grass, they will definitely compete to increase the price." Mi Zhu worried that buying grain and grass is not a trivial matter. In the past year, Bingzhou made a lot of profits from the princes because of war horses, Jin paper, and Jin wine. Now that Bingzhou is at a critical moment, how can they be soft-hearted.

"Businessmen who don't care about the price, but secretly raise the price, will buy Bingzhou supplies at double the price in the future." Lu Bu snorted coldly.

Mi Zhu surrendered and said yes.
