They were taken to the villagers' homes and their food and accommodation were even better than those of the refugees in the county town.
For a time, the refugees were grateful for Lu Ping's kindness and righteousness, and they respected him more and more.
Lu Ping was also very happy about this.
If the refugees are satisfied, it means more refugees will come.
But in this way, Lu Ping had to face the problem of food shortage.
Fifty thousand people will consume more than 100,000 kilograms of food a day.
If there were more, Lu Ping wouldn't be able to supply them.
But Lu Ping has a solution.
If you have any difficulties, find an organization.
Lu Ping immediately sent a message to Gao Tianyi, telling him the situation and asking him to help raise food.
There are so many third-level lords in Qing Kingdom, and the problem can be solved if everyone supports Lu Ping a little.
When Gao Tianyi received the news, he immediately agreed to help without saying a word.
Soon, Lu Ping received grain from many lords of Qing Kingdom.
In one day, Lu Ping received a total of 33 million kilograms of grain.
This made Lu Ping very pleased.
Sure enough, collective strength is greater.
Lu Ping must remember this favor and must repay it.
A week later, the second batch of refugees that Lu Ping had been waiting for finally arrived.
Sure enough, the scale of the refugees this time was even larger and beyond imagination, with as many as 150,000 people.
Now, Lu Ping was in trouble.
Lu Ping had no way of accommodating so many refugees, especially providing them with a place to live.
In the end, Lu Ping could only arrange for the refugees to live on the vacant land outside the county town.
Fortunately, it is summer now and no one will be frozen to death.
Otherwise, there will be big trouble.
..........
Inside the county government office.
Lu Ping, Li Si and others are looking at the map.
The fundamental solution to the refugee problem is to build homes for them. Lu Ping is preparing to select a site and build a village.
"My lord, this area is nice."
Li Si pointed at the map and said.
Lu Ping looked and saw that the place Li Si pointed to was a barren hilly area with no villages nearby.
"Oh~ This place is indeed nice, but judging by the area, we can only build five villages at most."
"Based on the calculation that each village has 3,000 people, we can only accommodate a maximum of 15,000 people." Lu Ping frowned.
"My lord, we can also accommodate three here, and two more here."
Li Si pointed to two other locations and said.
"Ten seats aren't enough."
"My Lord, with the size of our territory, building ten more villages is already the limit."
"After all, ten villages can accommodate 30,000 refugees."
"In addition, the development of county towns also requires population, and our two county towns can absorb another 50,000 people."
"As for the rest, we can only wait and see."
"Fortunately, they are all refugees. As long as they have enough to eat, they won't have any other demands for the time being."
Li Si said slowly.
"Well, you make sense, let's do it this way."
After thinking about it, Lu Ping nodded in agreement.
It is impossible to refuse to agree. Lu Ping's territory is limited, and all the land has been given to refugees. What will happen to the indigenous people?
In order to completely settle them, Lu Ping must expand his territory.
"Yes! I will take my leave."
Li Si turned and left.
.......
In the following days, Li Si and others began to build the village.
The laborers are of course the refugees themselves.
Build your own home.
This principle applies everywhere.
Of course the refugees are willing to do so, after all, everyone wants to have a home.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of everyone, ten villages were built in less than half a month, providing a new home for 30,000 refugees.
At the same time, construction was also being carried out in the county town on a large scale.
Many new prefabricated houses have been built in the city, the kind that can accommodate dozens of people in one room.
Although it is simple, it can at least shelter us from the wind and rain.
In this way, another 50,000 refugees were properly accommodated.
At this point, there were still less than 100,000 refugees whose situation had not been resolved.
Lu Ping could only temporarily inconvenience them for a while.
Fortunately, Lu Ping will be responsible for their food, at least they won’t starve to death.
In addition, they don't have to worry about safety issues when living outside the city.
The public sentiment in Luping Territory reached 80 a few days ago, and there are no more bandits.
At this time, there were less than two months left before Lu Ping left the novice stage.
The refugee problem was temporarily solved, and next Lu Ping had to consider how to deal with old Andrew's attack.
Including all the refugees and the natural growth of the territory, Lu Ping’s current population is close to 400,000.
In this way, Lu Ping has a total of 50,000 soldiers available.
Old Andrew had an army of 100,000.
Fifty thousand versus one hundred thousand, Lu Ping believed he could still handle it.
Although Lu Ping has fewer troops, he has an absolute advantage in terms of military generals.
Although old Andrew has seven famous historical generals, they still cannot be compared with Yue Fei and others.
Famous generals in history are also divided into high and low levels.
Can Xiahou Yuan be compared with Li Jing?
Of course not.
Of course, the battlefield is ever-changing, and Lu Ping cannot take things for granted.
There is more than one lord around the territory.
What if other lords take the opportunity to take action?
Lu Ping didn't think he could withstand the attacks of several lords.
However, despite the difficulties, Lu Ping was not afraid.
Because Lu Ping still has the exemption from war card, Zhang Jiao, and the weapon spirit.
These are Lu Ping’s trump cards.
Could it be that the spirit of the weapon could watch Lu Ping being killed?
Of course not!
But then again, if you can rely on yourself, you still have to rely on yourself.
Lu Ping only has one exemption from war card. Although Zhang Jiao's ultimate move is powerful, it can only be used once every six months.
The weapon spirit's help is not without cost, and it might even shorten Lu Ping's lifespan.
"While there are so many refugees, why not continue raising the city walls?"
"Yes, build another moat."
Lu Ping was secretly calculating.
We can't just keep these refugees around for nothing; we have to find them something to do.
Soon, Lu Ping issued new orders.
Changsun Wuji and others took action immediately.
......
A month passed in a flash.
As expected, there is strength in numbers. After a month of hard work, 100,000 refugees dug out a moat that was four meters deep and ten meters wide.
The city wall was raised again to a height of seven meters, and a large number of auxiliary facilities were built.
Lu Ping was also very satisfied with this.
In this way, Lu Ping has a greater chance of success.
On the other hand, old Andrew was furious about this.
Ever since Lu Ping came to his side, old Andrew's joy was beyond words.
The hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable!!!
Now, the opportunity has finally come.
If Lu Ping was not still in the novice stage, Old Andrew would have rushed over and killed Lu Ping immediately.
However, although he could not take revenge immediately, in old Andrew's heart, Lu Ping was no different from a dead man.
In Old Andrew's opinion, with his powerful strength, crushing Lu Ping to death is as easy as crushing an ant.
But when he learned that Lu Ping had gathered 200,000 refugees in just one month, he could no longer sit still.
