Chapter 244: Wolves in the North and Tigers in the South
Suddenly I felt a cool breeze coming, but it was Xiao Chen who got on the car and said, "Brother Fu, are you awake?"
"Master Xiao." Fu Yan hurriedly stood up.
"Don't move!" Xiao Chen hurriedly came over and held him down, "Lao Wen said that you can't move now. We'd better listen to him, otherwise he can tie you to the bed."
"Where are we going?" Fu Yan asked.
"Niutoushan." Xiao Chen waved to the two female nurses to go down first, and he personally prepared the medicine for Fu Yan.
"Well, that's the best place to stand at the moment." Fu Yan waited for the two beauties to get off the car and said, "But we just go there directly with the carriages and horses? Where are the freshmen cavalry?"
"Haha, they all retreated. I made a covenant with their little prince. This is what happened to him..." Xiao Chen told him his experience after coming to Yanyun County.
"Oh my god, Prince, you are really wise and powerful!" Fu Yan was surprised and happy when he heard this. Is this okay?
I thought this was a dead end, but I was saved by you, the Crown Prince!
If this is the case, then Yanyun County really has a lot to do.
Although there are packs of wolves in the north and tigers in the south, as long as you mediate properly, you can survive. If you use a few more strategies to leverage your strength, you may still be able to survive well.
Sure enough, I read you right.
"Don't talk about the same prince, it sounds awkward! We are brothers, you can just call me Brother Xiao, what is the difference between superiority and inferiority? It's all nonsense! Then just call me boss like the big guys, it doesn't sound right to me.
It's more pleasing to the ears." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"If this is the case, then we should start taking over Yanyun County..." Fu Yan immediately entered the state.
Xiao Chen said that we have already started to do this. Mr. Chen Jisheng, Ye Baiqing, Liu Mofeng and others have already set off eastward and gradually taken over various cities.
Yue Zhonglin has also returned to Yanyunguan and will escort the food and grass over soon. Our current problem is the lack of food and grass.
"Niutoushan is an important town in Yanyun. There may be granaries left by the previous dynasty hidden in the mountain." Fu Yan said.
"Oh, don't mention it. I get angry when I mention it. We thought the same way at the beginning, but Li Tanhua has been searching in Niutoushan for several years and still hasn't found a grain. I'm afraid there is no granary there at all. It's just rumors." Xiao
Chen sighed.
"There should be some..." Fu Yan pondered for a while before suddenly reacting, "Boss, who were you talking about just now?"
"Li Tanhua." Xiao Chen said.
"Is this the Li Tanhua I thought she was?" Fu Yan's eyes nearly popped out of his sockets.
"That's him, hey, you know him too?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"No one in the world knows you!" Fu Yan took a deep breath, "Boss, with his help, you are even more powerful, and our plan to restore the country has a lot more chances of success."
"What kind of country should I restore? What kind of career can I achieve? As long as the big guy can have a foothold, that's all. I've told you a long time ago that I don't want to be an emperor, but you just refuse to believe it." Xiao Chen became depressed when he mentioned this.
"Haha, boss, with all due respect, it's not up to you now." Fu Yan's words were exactly the same as what Zhuge Xiaosheng said in Jiuxi when he first learned about Xiao Chen's true identity.
"Then can I be a Marquis of Yanyun?" Xiao Chen felt that being a prince was actually pretty cool.
"Under the current situation, you can either live as an emperor or die as a bandit. There is no choice." Fu Yan paused and said, "But of course this must be done step by step. Let's first imprison Yanyun County.
Hold it firmly in your hand before talking."
"Sigh... the current situation is not easy to say. If Wanyan Pingqiu goes south brazenly, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. The main reason is that there is no food." What Xiao Chen is most worried about now is food and grass.
Niutoushan can be defended, but if there is no food, how long can it be defended?
"Wanyan Pingqiu may not really dare to go south, and there is always a way to solve the problem of food. This is a small problem. The real problem is that Yanyun County has a vast land with abundant resources and sparsely populated areas. The permanent population is too small. If you want to occupy
To be strong here, we must find a way to increase the population significantly." What Fu Yan was thinking about was not the present, but the future.
"Well, Mr. Chen also mentioned this matter. What's the best plan for Brother Fu?" Xiao Chen asked.
Fu Yan doesn't have any good ideas, because given the current situation in Yanyun County, no one is willing to come.
Because in the minds of the officials and people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a remote place like Yanyun County was regarded as a place for distribution!
The five cities that Xiao Chen won at the beginning did not have county magistrates until they were captured by the Xianbo people.
No one wants to come, mainly.
The official position of county magistrate is not small, but it is not small either.
Generally, large counties must be appointed by serious Jinshi and fellow Jinshis in theory. The county magistrate of a small county can also be served by a juren, but the juren must be a member of the county magistrate or the chief registrar.
After three years of service in the position, you must get straight A's in attendance.
This system is obviously flawed, but it has been so since ancient times. No dynasty or generation can easily break this traditional rule.
Those scholars who don't come here can still find another way out, but the common people who have been displaced by the war have no choice.
As long as they can live and work in peace and have food to eat, they don't care about the harsh and cold places.
Therefore, Fu Yan's suggestion is that after Yanyun County is basically stabilized, notices should be posted all over the Zhou Dynasty, welcoming refugees who have no food and no place to live to settle here.
Of course, we must provide certain discounts. For example, as long as people are willing to naturalize in Yanyun County, we will allocate a certain amount of land, rent cattle and farm tools, distribute grain seeds, and help build houses...
After all, you, Yanyun County, have to settle down, otherwise everyone just escaped from the war-torn hometown and fell into another war-torn place... Then it's better to die at home!
"You are seriously injured. It's better not to bother yourself. Drink the medicine first." Xiao Chen brought a large amount of decoction to him and wanted to feed him personally. Fu Yan quickly took it and drank it in one gulp. The medicine was a bit cold.
, but my heart feels warm.
"How is the little princess?" It felt like Duan Linger was seriously injured.
"It was quite scary at first. I vomited a lot of black blood when I came back, but after vomiting, I felt energetic. I heard from Tie Kunlun that although this little girl's martial arts skills are average, the internal skills and mental methods she practices are very authentic. Plus, after hearing the news,
He is good at drug treatment, but now he is jumping around and going crazy, saying he won't listen!" When talking about Duan Ling'er, Xiao Chen's mouth curled up.
"What she practices is the Emei sect's inner strength and mental skills. The Emei sect's internal strength comes from Wudang, which is the most authentic in the world." Fu Yan also laughed.
"By the way, you are an expert, why do you think my flame palm is sometimes ineffective?" Xiao Chen asked humbly.
"Boss, your Flame Palm was passed down to you by Wu Fatian, right? It must be him, and no one else knows it except him... Is he still alive?" Fu Yan also just found out about Xiao Chen's Flame Palm.
