................
At noon, Lu Ping arrived in Xiling County.
Upon receiving the news, Li Jing and others were waiting outside the city gate to welcome them.
After everyone exchanged greetings, Lu Ping, Li Jing and others entered the county government office.
"How's the situation in the county?"
After sitting down, Lu Ping asked.
"My lord, everything is fine."
Li Jing said respectfully.
"Well, that's good."
"By the way, I brought Changsun Wuji with me to repair the city wall."
"In addition, in order to strengthen the defense, I will bring you a thousand soldiers." Lu Ping nodded.
"Thank you, my lord." Li Jing said happily.
There are only 3,000 troops stationed in Xiling County, which is more than enough for defense but not enough for offense. It is just barely enough. It would be a good thing to increase it by 1,000.
Next, Lu Ping discussed some things with Li Jing, and then returned directly.
..........
In a blink of an eye, a month passed.
Lu Ping's territory developed rapidly.
Government policies are implemented smoothly and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Public support also further increased to 78 percent.
Of course, bandits still exist.
But they were defeated by the garrison every time.
During this period, the specific situation of the southern lord was also found out.
Coincidentally, this lord was an acquaintance of Lu Ping, old Andrew.
Old Andrew once hunted Lu Ping in the real world.
The reason was that his son Andrew died at the hands of Lu Ping, and the hatred between the two sides was as deep as the sea.
Compared with Andrew, old Andrew's level is obviously much higher, otherwise he would not have developed so fast and become so powerful.
After verification, it was found that Old Andrew's territory was seven times the size of Lu Ping, with three county towns and 180 villages, with a total population of up to one million.
There are 100,000 soldiers and nearly 300 generals.
Among them are seven famous historical generals and thirty second- and third-rate generals.
With such strength, Lu Ping had to take it seriously.
Lu Ping had no doubt that Old Andrew had discovered him long ago, but because Lu Ping was still in the novice stage, he couldn't do anything.
It is conceivable that once Lu Ping leaves the novice stage, he will definitely encounter crazy revenge from old Andrew.
Of course, Lu Ping would definitely not sit idly by and wait for death.
Due to the development of the territory, Lu Ping's current population has grown to 130,000, and 13,000 soldiers can be recruited.
Including the initial 5,000 soldiers and the 4,000 soldiers obtained through recruitment cards, the total strength has reached 22,000 people, enough to form a complete legion.
Of course, this amount of troops is far from enough.
Lu Ping also needs more people and more soldiers.
Fortunately, the battlefield of all nations is a virtual world, and the population is growing very fast.
According to the current rate of development, it is estimated that by the end of the novice period, the population of Luping Territory will double again to 250,000.
In this way, Lu Ping can recruit another 12,000 soldiers.
In addition, Lu Ping may also absorb a large number of refugees.
Refugees are an important way for novice lords to increase their population.
Whoever has a high level of public support in their territory will attract more refugees.
Generally speaking, when public morale reaches 75 or above, refugees will begin to arrive.
Of course, the refugee policy only applies to newcomers.
This can be considered as a benefit that the system provides to novice lords.
However, Lu Ping was not sure how many refugees there would be.
........
Lu Ping was thinking about how to break the deadlock.
He had no idea that a great thing was about to happen to him.
"Ding, system prompt, a large number of refugees have appeared in your territory."
"Please draw the host's attention and properly accommodate them, as this will attract more refugees."
Hearing the system prompt, Lu Ping was suddenly ecstatic.
What you think will come true.
When you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow.
And according to the system, if they can properly resettle the refugees, a large number of refugees will arrive later.
This is more in line with Lu Ping's wishes.
At this moment, Lu Ping was extremely excited.
"Come here, send out scouts to search for the refugees. If they are found, they must be properly protected and reported back immediately."
"Order Li Si and others to come quickly to discuss matters."
Lu Ping hurriedly gave orders.
Li Si and Liu Bowen came running over quickly.
Looking at Lu Ping's excited face, Li Si and others immediately guessed that the matter might not be simple.
"My lord, what's the urgent matter that has caused us to be summoned?" Liu Bowen asked.
"It's urgent. We just received news that a large number of refugees will appear in our territory."
Lu Ping said in a deep voice.
"Refugees, this is a good thing."
"My lord, how many are there?"
Li Si asked hurriedly.
"I don't know, but it's probably not less."
"But no matter how many come, we must properly accommodate them."
"You guys go get ready now."
Lu Ping said in a deep voice.
"Yes, we understand." Li Si and Liu Bowen responded at the same time.
Then everyone started to get busy.
Soon, the scouts discovered the whereabouts of the refugees.
The refugees entered Lu Ping's territory in three groups, with a total number of nearly 50,000.
This news surprised Lu Ping. He didn't expect there would be so many refugees.
If Lu Ping can properly accommodate them, there will be more to come.
"My lord, it might be troublesome to resettle so many refugees." Li Si frowned.
"We have to accommodate the troublesome people. What we lack most now is population." Lu Ping said in a deep voice.
"How about this: we settle some of the refugees in various villages, preferably with a population of 1,000 per village, and each village will be responsible for feeding the refugees."
"As for the rest, they will be temporarily placed in the two county towns, and we will be responsible for their food."
