Xie Zhun neither agreed nor disagreed.
He had previously stated his attitude towards Yan Lang...
It's worth trying.
Seeing that no one present objected to Ning Xi'er's suggestion, Xie Zhun added:
"The Great Yan and the Jin Kingdom have had no war for ten years, but in recent years, there have been constant skirmishes on the northern frontier..."
As everyone knows from the news brought back by Xi'er, the situation in the capital and the court's attitude are...
In recent years, the State of Jin has worked diligently to strengthen its government, resulting in a powerful and well-equipped army. The people are united in purpose, and the Crown Prince has personally supervised operations at the front lines on numerous occasions...
Comparing the two countries, war is inevitable; it's only a matter of time.
In this context, what Xi'er just mentioned, personnel transfer...
I agree with everything. However, a few adjustments could be made...
Xie Zhun looked at Ning Xi'er, "Xi'er has also heard that the villagers of the Northern Frontier and the soldiers share a deep bond, which deserves to be treated with sincerity..."
How about this, let the villagers flee along the border and come here..."
After considering it, Xie Zhun said, "We'll arrive in Pingyuan in batches, which will appropriately transfer the pressure to this remote area..."
Xue Lin then used the pretext of receiving and resettling refugees to discuss Liao Yueming's proposal to build a brewery in the wasteland with Yan Lang and others...
Doing this has several advantages.
First, we must properly resettle the villagers in the northern border region. The Jin state has been constantly invading the area, and these villagers will suffer both before and after the war.
Secondly, these refugees could also convey the court's attitude of cutting off supplies and passively responding to the Jin army's harassment...
They could even embellish and spread the Crown Prince's faction's plans and concerns...
in this way......"
Qin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "In that case, the Crown Prince and the forces behind him will naturally be eager to distance themselves..."
To maintain popular support and prevent a mutiny, the crown prince would expedite the process of ascending the throne...
Those in charge of high-ranking officials and important military commanders will be transferred or replaced as soon as possible...
To prevent the states of Jin and Qi from taking advantage of any loopholes!
Xie Zhun nodded slightly and continued, "In order to maintain the morale of the people, the matter of the grain supplies in the northern frontier cannot be put on hold any longer..."
However, at that time, there may be changes regarding General Ning's future.
But at least, the food and supplies crisis for the soldiers in the northern frontier can be greatly alleviated.
Furthermore, given the large number of refugees, we can infiltrate our own people into the wilderness...
That would be more appropriate.
After Xie Zhun finished speaking, Ning Xi'er was completely convinced.
Using minimal force to achieve maximum effect, even following one's own line of thinking, adding just one step immediately elevates the entire approach.
They considered both the needs of the villagers in northern Xinjiang, securing a way for them to survive, and the well-being of the soldiers' provisions...
It will also greatly benefit the stability of the country and the swift resolution of the current state of public anxiety.
Those present nodded in agreement.
Wei Xunfang pointed out that whether it's resettling the two hundred people temporarily staying in Yongning, the three hundred elite soldiers, or the more than three hundred displaced people currently in the village...
If we could also solve the villagers' housing problem by demolishing and rebuilding these small, barely habitable mud-brick houses...
The expenses are considerable. And...
Wei Xunfang looked at Xie Zhun and Ning Xier, rallied his forces, assembled his troops, equipped them with weapons, and mobilized resources...
Everything needs money.
But Wei Xunfang could naturally say some of these things openly, even though everyone present was one of his own.
Wei Xunfang's original plan was to generate huge profits through iron smelting, while also being able to forge weapons on his own...
Now the situation has changed drastically, and Ning Xi'er has to leave again, so the plan has to be put on hold for the time being.
The current problem is how to raise such a huge sum of money.
Even if Liao Yueming, grateful for Ning Xi'er's life-saving grace, raised funds to build housing for one or two thousand people, constructed brewing equipment, and addressed their basic needs...
With so many people eating every day, even if Liao Yueming is very generous, it's not a long-term solution.
Wei Xunfang suggested that the two hundred men from Yongnian, along with three hundred elite soldiers, should enter as both brewers and refugees...
They could all participate in brewing, or undertake delivery or other tasks, and the wages of five hundred people were used to cover expenses.
Wei Xunfang also suggested that the refugees from the Prince's Mansion and the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, who were not carrying any wealth, could mobilize a large amount of supplies and manpower on their own...
Fearing that before they could succeed, the Crown Prince would become wary and launch a fierce attack.
Therefore, it is recommended that the refugees not handle their own money and instead keep their accounts with Liao Yueming.
As for expenses and the items that need to be purchased, Liao Yueming had both the means to raise the funds and the ability to conceal her identity.
Wei Xunfang was still worried about the funding shortfall.
"Mr. Wei, you don't need to worry about that..."
Ning Xi'er glanced at Xie Zhun, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "When I married into the Prince's mansion, it happened to be the time when the mansion was being raided..."
Mr. Wei, do you recall that much of the Wang family's wealth vanished without a trace?
Wei Xunfang's gaze swept over, and Qin Yuan was almost ready to slam his fist on the table and stand up.
All they knew was that Ning Xi'er possessed great abilities and could freely mobilize resources...
But little did they know, the valuables that had been stolen from the Prince's mansion...
It turns out that Ning Xi'er had taken it beforehand!
Ning Xi'er spoke with some guilt, "At the time, I just felt that I couldn't let it be confiscated for nothing..."
Move it in advance, just in case...
A soft laugh came from beside my ear.
Ning Xi'er turned her head and saw Xie Zhun looking calm and composed, with a faint smile on his lips.
He didn't care much about the things in the Prince's mansion, but he found Ning Xi'er's embarrassed state rather amusing.
Ning Xi'er felt her face burning, embarrassed by being seen through.
Back then, her plan to "prepare for any eventuality" didn't take these people into consideration at all!
