Chapter 449 The common people, the foundation of the country
"Sixty thousand refugees?"
There was a sound of shock, and Chu Feifan's face was filled with sadness. Sixty thousand refugees are not a small number. The war between White Wolf and Tianluo is currently in full swing. Sixty thousand refugees gathered under the imperial city. If this matter cannot be solved perfectly,
I'm afraid it will arouse the anger of the people.
As long as people have a safe place to live and three meals a day, they will feel that life still has meaning.
Chu Feifan didn't want to see the land of Chu floating all over the country, and the mountains wailing. If the people of Chu couldn't be saved, it would be hard to talk about trying to dominate the world.
"Zifang, Xuanling, and Di Qing, do you three have any good ideas?"
"Your Majesty, I have a perfect plan!"
"The number of refugees outside the city is so large that the imperial city simply cannot accommodate them. Wei Chen thought that a simple refugee camp could be built outside the city to let the people get through the current difficulties first."
"The four cities are being expanded. The emperor can issue an edict to allow refugees to come and help build the four cities. With the participation of 60,000 refugees, the construction of the four cities can be completed in early winter, and then the people can be in the city.
winter."
Fang Xuanling clasped her fists, a sonorous sound rang out, and her eyes flashed with determination.
"This move kills two birds with one stone. It not only solves the problem of refugees' livelihood, but also completes the expansion of the four cities ahead of schedule."
"Xuanling, you will draft an edict later and send it to the Ministry of Husbandry. The Ministry of Industry is building a refugee camp outside the city so that the people who come to the imperial capital can spend this summer. The construction of the four cities will begin today."
"Wei Chen accepts the order!"
"Zifang, you assist Xuanling, the refugee resettlement and the construction of the four cities will be handled by both of you."
"The tens of millions of buildings in Guangzhou are the beginning of a century-old foundation of the Chu State. I don't want to see shoddy things happen. The Chu State cannot withstand any setbacks now. If anyone wants to take the opportunity to interfere with it, my dear friends,
There is no need to report it to me. Once discovered, severe punishment will not be given."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely give my utmost consideration to the expansion of the four cities and there will never be any mistakes."
"Okay, go down and get ready!"
"At dusk, I put out meals for the people outside the city. Don't let them go hungry. Although Chu State is not rich, I don't want to see a single person die miserably under the imperial city."
The foundation of a common people's country is said in ancient times that people are like water, and the emperor is like a boat. Water can carry a boat but also overturn it. Through the ages, one emperor swept through six kingdoms, and the people originally unified the world. However, due to tyranny, uprisings spread all over the country, and the Qin State was eventually destroyed.
An empire without the support of the people is a lonely tree. Even if other countries do not swallow it up, and the people have experienced oppression, disappointment, and despair for a long time, they will rise up and attack it.
This is why it is easy to conquer the world but difficult to defend it. No matter at what time, the people and the king complement each other and are indispensable. A country cannot be made without a general.
Chu Feifan knew very well the importance of the people and the foundation of the country, so he did not want to hear the lamentations of the people of Chu.
"The humble minister has accepted the decree, and he will pass on the order now."
After Fang Xuanling, Zhang Liang, and Di Renjie left the Yangxin Hall, Chu Feifan sat directly at the top position. He quickly wrote down all the thoughts in his mind. When the war in the country was over, he began to promulgate reforms.
Three hours passed.
Chu Feifan raised his hand and put down the imperial pen, opened his arms and moved around, looking at the reform policy written in front of him, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Xiao Guizi, where are you?"
A majestic voice sounded, and a black shadow appeared outside the Yangxin Hall, walking quickly towards Chu Feifan.
"Your Majesty, my servant is here!"
"Xiao Guizi, has the secret guard sent any valuable news?"
"Replying to the emperor, the secret guards are targeting spies from other countries in the city, but it's not time to close the net yet."
The fine work in the city is like moths hiding in the depths. They are constantly eating away at the foundation of Chu State, and if they are not careful, they will push Chu State into the abyss.
"Xiao Guizi, please send an order to the secret guards. Once you discover the secrets of other countries, you will be killed without mercy!"
"Your Majesty, a military report came from the front line in the afternoon. General Bai and General Ran's troops have conquered the lost territory of the Southern Han Dynasty. They are currently facing off with Tianluo's remnants at Wusiguan."
Chu Feifan knew the situation of Bai Qi's troops last night. Wu Siguan was easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was the only way to enter the Tianluo Empire. One day had passed and he didn't know whether Bai Qi had launched an attack on Wu Siguan.
attack.
"Xiao Guizi, where are Song Wuque, Dian Wei and Zhou Yu's troops in the direction of Fengyin City?"
"Your Majesty, I have already placed the memorial from General Song on the wooden desk three days ago!"
Chu Feifan was really busy these days, so he did not review the memorial, so he did not know the situation of Song Wuque's troops.
"They have defeated Tianluo's army outside Fengyin City and captured more than 5,000 enemy soldiers, led by one enemy general. Now three days have passed and they should be back in the imperial city soon."
Xiao Guizi suddenly said, and Chu Feifan's face lit up with joy. The Tianluo army in the direction of Fengyin City had been defeated. No wonder Tianluo would borrow troops from the Xuanlong Empire.
"Xiao Guizi, inform Zhao Yun, Shan Xiongxin, and Luo Shixin to follow me out of the city!"
"In addition, we sent an order to Song Wuque and Guo Jia, telling them to lead their troops to Wusiguan without returning to the imperial city!"
A sharp look flashed across Chu Feifan's eyes, and his figure suddenly rose up. He turned around and walked towards the back hall of Yangxin Hall. He decided to leave the city and rush to Wusiguan overnight to fight against Tianluo. This battle must be fought quickly. Once the Xuanlong Empire
Agreeing to send troops will be another fierce battle that will never end. The Chu State really cannot afford to go through it. After all, national strength and resources are limited.
As the sun sets, the tired birds return to their nests.
Chu Feifan led Zhao Yun, Shan Xiongxin, and Luo Shixin to appear outside the imperial city. Looking at the refugees everywhere outside the city, his face was filled with sadness.
The people were so displaced. As the king of a country, Chu Feifan felt that he had failed for the first time.
Seeing the people in ragged clothes, carrying baggage, lining up to receive food, he raised his riding crop, gave a sharp shout, and quickly ran away into the red glow.
The people need to recuperate and the Chu Kingdom needs time to develop. The war must end quickly and the Tianluo Empire cannot be given any chance to breathe.
The setting sun coated the sky with a red halo, and the wind came suddenly. The four of them were flying between the sky and the earth, their clothes flying in the air. The sound of horse hooves was getting farther and farther away from Tiger Roaring City, and the figures of the people were becoming more and more blurred.
They are like soldiers going to the battlefield, lone heroes galloping on the ancient road.
From time to time, there are several hawks chirping in the sky, the light wind stirs up the dust and dead leaves on the ground, and tigers roar. Outside the city, there is a flood of refugees, waiting for life-saving meals.
However.
Outside Wusi Pass.
In the Chu army's camp, in the tooth tent, Bai Qi, Qin Qiong, and Ran Min all had anxious looks on their faces. A heavy rain without warning last night made them give up their plan of a night attack.
The plan proposed by Bai Qi was not recognized by other generals, and no one thought that his strategy could easily capture Wusiguan.
Therefore, on this day, the Chu army did not move at all, and the generals were still worried about capturing Wusiguan. They continued to discuss the method of attack.
However, Tianluo's enemy army relied on Wusiguan Tianqian to defeat them once and for all, without any worry that the Chu army would sneak attack and defeat their deployment.
