Eight Hundred and Sixtieth Six: Northern Overlord (3)

The three present were all Linglong, how could they not understand Jiang Pengji's plan?

But in this way, the rights in Liu She's hands must be taken away, which means that there is a conflict of interests between father and daughter.

If Liu She is decayed and old, it is not too much to abdicate to let the virtuous.

It's just... Liu She is still in the prime of life, is he willing to give up his military power and become a carefree rich man?

Whether it's Wei Ci or Feng Zhen, they have no idea about this matter.

Qi Guan turned his gaze to Jiang Pengji, and vaguely mentioned, "My lord will discuss this matter with the old man."

Jiang Pengji lowered her eyes and said, "I know, father will understand."

Qi Guanrang waved his fan and said, "If we can cooperate with the Cui family to find out the situation in the northern border and the deployment of troops, we will take advantage of the 'location'. The method of garrisoning the fields will be widely used, and the food shortage will be completely solved within two or three years. You can be self-sufficient in the middle chewing. Several generals have rich combat experience and are very familiar with the way of training troops. If things go on like this, they will surely be able to train a tiger and wolf army. At the same time, Northern Xinjiang was severely damaged by the disaster of horse plague. The strategy of the sheep will delay their hind legs, and within three to five years, we will have the strength to fight the northern Xinjiang."

"There is a saying in the book of war that if the country is poorer than the teacher, it will lose far away, and if it loses far away, the people will be poor." Wei Ci added on the side, "If you send troops to northern Xinjiang and transport food over long distances, it will inevitably add heavy pressure. Those who are close to the army The price of food in the area has soared, and the local people are affected by it, and their financial resources are exhausted. More importantly, the risk of transporting food is too long. Once the food line is broken, the soldiers in front will be in desperation. People are farming in Chongzhou, which greatly reduces the route of transporting grain, so that the soldiers have no worries."

If grain was transported from Hujun or Maruzhou to the Chongzhou front, the consumption would be unimaginable.

In ancient times, food transportation in wars mainly relied on manpower and animal power, and the distance was long and time-consuming.

It doesn't mean that as much food is delivered to the front line, the front line can receive as much food.

The animals that transport the grain need to eat, and so do the men who transport the grain!

The front line gets a stone of grain, and the convenience will send out twenty or thirty stones!

If there is a war, it is best to farm on a large scale near the front line, so as to greatly reduce the risk and consumption of grain transportation.

But...if that's the case, Wei Ci couldn't help but frown when he thought of other things.

Jiang Pengji asked him,

"What did Zixiao think of?"

Wei Ci's expression froze, and he sighed and said, "Due to the impact of horse plague, Northern Xinjiang's economy has been severely damaged, so that food prices have skyrocketed, and a large number of low-level herdsmen cannot afford food, and their lives are difficult. If Northern Xinjiang knows that we are on the border of Chongzhou Large-scale garrisoning the fields, at that time... will inevitably attract a large number of cavalry looting... I didn't think carefully, the plan just now, I'm afraid it won't work..."

If this is the case, all the food they grow in the fields will be robbed by Northern Xinjiang.

Is this to store military food for oneself, or to send food to the enemy?

Wei Ci figured this out, felt ashamed, and bent down to apologize.

Jiang Pengji said, "You're right, why do we need to apologize? It's a good way to reduce the consumption of food transportation by setting up fields on the border of Chongzhou. If Northern Xinjiang sends cavalry to plunder, we don't have to be afraid, just take these People practice their hands and adapt to the fighting methods in northern Xinjiang in advance. However, Zixiao’s suggestion needs to be changed. Farming is fine, but it can’t be concentrated in one place, and there should be more.”

At present, there is no way to dispatch cavalry on a large scale in northern Xinjiang, so they can only plunder on a small scale.

They divided the fields into several places, and the northern Xinjiang cavalry came to plunder, but they couldn't rob much at one time, and they could use them to practice their hands if the loss was small.

If the grain is stored in one place, wouldn't it be cool if the enemy sneaked around and set fire to the granary?

The four of them carefully discussed the details until the dawn dawned, and then Jiang Pengji ended the topic without further ado.

The three counselors who were forced to stay up late and work a night shift: "..."

"...Let's talk about this first. I'll write a letter to my father and explain the reason to him. My father will support me." Jiang Pengji An An stretched her waist, and said to the three of them, "Do you want to stay and use me?" Breakfast, today's breakfast is meat buns with mushrooms, very delicious."

Feng Zhenlang is used to it, and often stays up late, but he is not tired at all.

Qi Guan kept his work and rest time stable and focused on keeping in good health, but the lord was inhumane, so he got used to staying up late.

Not to mention Wei Ci, he didn't even have bags under his eyes after a whole night of sleepless nights.

"Thank you, my lord."

The three of them ate breakfast with Jiang Pengji, and went back with a head full of battle details.

Both Feng Zhen and Wei Ci are single, and their residences are close to each other.

When he and Wei Ci went back, they were reminiscing about the cooking skills of the county government kitchen while shaking their heads, which made Wei Ci dizzy.

Wei Ci asked, "Zi Shi, don't shake your head, Ci looks dizzy."

Feng Zhen said, "Shake it to see if there is any water in your brain."

Wei Ci: "..."

Fengzhen said again, "Back then, I was really deceived by lard, why did I come here by accident? It's not good to take refuge in any lord, but I chose the most difficult one to serve. If it's really not possible, I might as well not be an official and be a rich man at home. An idler. It’s a good thing now, you have money but no land to use, you can’t touch beautiful women, you can’t drink wine, and you don’t even have time to sleep... Once you get on a pirate ship, you can’t get off.”

Like last night, the lord took them to discuss on a whim, all night long!

My lord, do you still remember that he was sick and weak?

Really used a man as a mule.

Wei Ci said abruptly, "Master, why are you here?"

Feng Zhen was so frightened that he shivered all over, hugged Wei Ci and hid behind him.

However--

"Where is my lord?"

Wei Ci smiled purely, "I'm scaring you."

Fengzhen: "..."

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻ How could he blindly make such a close friend, what a cheat!

After silently reciting the heart-clearing mantra several times, Feng Zhen endured the urge to strangle Wei Ci to death.

Approaching the door, Feng Zhen said quickly, "Zi Xiao, do you think the old man really knows how to delegate power?"

Jiang Pengji has been in the limelight in recent years, but Liu She has been famous for a long time, and now she is in her prime, is she really willing to delegate power to her daughter?

"It's hard to say." Wei Ci lowered his eyelids and sneered coldly, "But my lord's temperament has always been knowing that he can't do it. If the old man is a smart person, he will make the most correct choice. How can that bastard be with the lord?" A higher or lower?"

Although Liu She is different from her previous life, Wei Ci still can't trust this person.

However, his lord didn't react at all, and he trusted Liu She a lot, so Wei Ci couldn't say anything.

The two chatted in a low voice, and a handsome young man with a smirk on his face came to meet him.

"Gentlemen, wait a minute!"

Wei Ci and Wei Ci stood still, and when they saw it, it was Li Yun who was full of pride.

"Gentlemen, do you want to give Yunzhi a call?"

Feng Zhen teased him, "What trick?"

"Yun wants to propose marriage to the lord." After Li Yun finished speaking, Zheng nodded.

Wei Ci at the side trembled all over, stood stiffly on the spot, and slowly turned his head to look at him, Ru Mo's eyes were full of coldness.

"Propose marriage?"
