After Wei Mingyuan led his army into the city, he silently watched the people working hard.
Those people were skinny, but there was light in their eyes, as if they saw hope to survive, and their whole mental outlook changed.
When Wei Ling saw his father, he stood up straight and saluted.
Wei Xiyin and Wei Li followed him out and waited there, "Uncle, you have worked hard these days, it is the fault of the younger generations." They were eating and drinking well in the city, but Uncle, with his army, had to sleep in the open air.
Wei Mingyuan glanced at the two of them and said, "You don't have to be so formal. We have plenty of food and supplies, and we have food and drink. It's not hard at all."
The cousins responded, "Third uncle is absolutely right."
Wei Xiyin saw that her uncle had been staring at the people, and she understood what was happening. She said, "Food is the most important thing for the people. If you don't let them have enough to eat, they will lose their energy and spirit in the long run."
"This is where Motosaburo's stupidity lies. We can find a way to get food, but it's hard to find labor right now."
After surviving the winter, there is a spring lush period of more than a month, when plants grow rapidly. As long as it is used well and enough farmland is opened up, the harvested grain can last for a while.
The territory of Zhongshan State is much larger than that of Qinghe County. Although the land is thin and there are many mountains, the pollution situation is definitely better than other places.
She paused, "Of course, we can't rule out that Mr. Hu did it on purpose. Judging from his actions, he doesn't seem to want Zhongshan Kingdom to be better off. Yuan Sanlang stayed in the palace and didn't come out. The situation outside can only be learned from the mouths of his subordinates."
Wei Mingyuan nodded slightly, "Wu Niang is right, but Zhongshan still has a long way to go if it wants to get back on the right track."
Wei Xiyin smiled lightly, "After all, it's a good start. The rest depends on the princess's ability to govern."
Following her back to the dock, we could only command remotely for five years, and how to control the troops was a difficult problem.
Fortunately, Zhongshan State is not far from Qinghe County, and the round trip journey is only a few days. Now that the road has been opened, it will be convenient for travel in the future.
Wei Mingyuan said "hmm" lightly, not caring about what happened to Zhongshan Kingdom. They were busy with their own affairs, and winter was still more than a month away. He didn't know how the fort was prepared.
The group walked towards the post station.
Wei Mingyuan asked, "When does Wu Niang plan to leave?"
"I'm afraid it will take another day."
Wei Xiyin explained, "Mainly, there are some things I want to discuss with the princess."
A smile flashed across Wei Mingyuan's eyes, "Uncle heard that there is a horse farm in Zhongshan."
"That's exactly it." Wei Xiyin laughed.
Several people walked into the post station while talking.
The three horses in the yard were eating hay under the porch. The horses were well-raised, with smooth hair and strong bodies.
Wei Xiyin pointed at one of the black horses and said, "That horse promised my niece that it would go back to the fort with us. It's hard to find out the exact number of horses in the farm. We can discuss it after the princess comes."
Wei Mingyuan nodded slightly. Although she didn't understand how Ma agreed to her, she just nodded.
The cousins walked the person all the way into the yard before taking their leave.
Yuan Yuwan was busy until the evening and sorted out everything. She took the written plan and prepared to go to the post station to find the girl and the two gentlemen.
Before leaving the palace.
She deliberately took a short nap to refresh herself and look less haggard.
When Wei Li saw her coming, he glanced at her for a few seconds and felt relieved to see that she looked good. He even stood at the door for a while, watching her enter the house and leave.
In the house.
Yuan Yuwan sat at the top.
The lady and two gentlemen sat below.
The rooms in the inn are not big.
Wei Xiyin originally planned to go to the palace to ask for an audience after she finished her work. After all, her status is different now. The princess is about to succeed to the throne of King Zhongshan, so she should pass on the message and ask for an audience.
Who knew that the person would come here by himself.
Yuan Yuwan handed the plan she had written to the girl and the two gentlemen with some nervousness.
"This is what I wrote today. It was formulated based on some of the conditions of the fort. I would like to ask the ladies and gentlemen for some advice." There were no useful scholars around her, only military officers.
Without anyone to help me, I can only rely on myself to figure things out, and I don’t know how good I am.
Cookie stood up and saluted, taking the thick paper while saying, "No, no, Your Highness, I'm sorry to have troubled us."
Yuan Yuwan was still a little uncomfortable with this title, so she could only smile at Mr. Qu.
The so-called planning, in order to avoid blindly carrying out affairs, must have a plan in advance and a summary afterwards.
Chu Yu glanced at the girl next to him. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he knew that she was willing to give advice to the princess, so he took a part of the paper and read it quickly.
It can be seen that the princess did indeed draw on many of her ideas from the fortress, such as providing food relief, enclosing land to open up fertile fields, building public kitchens, etc.
However, the situation in Zhongshan Kingdom was very different from that in Wubao. Their territory was more than ten times larger than Ling County. They had sufficient troops and a horse farm, but they lacked labor. There were obvious problems in several of the subsequent rescue and zombie cleanup arrangements.
After reading it.
To avoid dampening her enthusiasm, Cookie spoke first, carefully saying, "My Lady, this plan is well written, but some matters are arranged a bit hastily. Governance is a gradual process. My Lady has sufficient troops, but not the labor force to keep up."
"For example, 20,000 soldiers are enough to sweep across Zhongshan, but after that, there won't be enough labor to establish production. The zombies in the surrounding counties will run away, and they might wander back in the next day after we've cleared them out..."
It is impossible for soldiers to go out and clean up every day. Zhongshan is so big that it will take a long time to clean it up, which will waste an infinite amount of time.
It would be possible to set up all the defenses with chevaux de frise, but the key is that there is no labor to do it.
Yuan Yuwan was not frustrated. Instead, she was grateful that Mr. Qu had pointed out the problem. "Then, in your opinion, what should we do?"
Cookie hit the nail on the head, "Finding a labor force is paramount. There must be surviving scholars in Zhongshan. Find talent and improve people's livelihoods... The princess needs to eliminate the zombie hordes gathering within the territory. The remaining scattered ones can be ignored. Expand outward from Zhongren County, taking each step steadily..."
Chu Yu also spoke up, "Mr. Qu is right. Your Highness might as well make a plan based on the map. Winter preparations and rescue operations need to be carried out simultaneously. We must complete the search and rescue of all the surviving people in all towns before winter. Otherwise, winter is approaching, the monsters will become stronger, and more people will die outside."
"In a world where everyone is a soldier, some soldiers can be demobilized and put to work as civilians..."
This discussion lasted two hours.
Yuan Yuwan benefited a lot and asked Xiang Qi to bring paper and pen to write down what the two gentlemen said.
Wei Xiyin tapped her fingers lightly on the edge of the table, with no intention of interrupting.
Until the two gentlemen left, they were the only ones left in the room.
Wei Xiyin then said, "I want to make a deal with His Highness and use the little black balls to buy a batch of war horses."
