Wu Ling looked at the three county magistrates and slowly said, "Although only 300,000 people have returned, it is not easy to support 300,000 people. These people have suffered a lot in Qi and have suffered all the pain. They have returned with hope, hoping to return to their hometown to live a good life. In the early stage, we prepared houses for them and rations for wintering, which inevitably raised their hopes. If we cannot do a good job in the placement question, we may have many problems. The first problem is that after the wintering, we must find a way to make these people full. This is not a trivial matter, but a major event related to the stability of the Wuling War Zone."

Wu Ling was once hungry. During his confrontation with Emperor Qin Feng, he wandered in the mountains and forests for nearly three years. He knew exactly what he would do if he was hungry.

Wuling County Magistrate Chen Ye spread his hands: "To be honest, I still have some ways to make money by revitalizing business, but I am not very proficient in these things. Please ask the governor of Ben to come up with ideas. The governor of Ben has more experience."

The governor of Yiyang County, Wan Fu, nodded repeatedly. He was born in the army. Yiyang, as the throat connecting the Ming base camp and the Wuling War Zone, had a stronger military color, so he became the governor of Yiyang County.

Ben Kuan started from a minor official and climbed up from the bottom one bit by bit. At the beginning, he followed Ma Xiangnan in Changyang, and did a job of making the people full.

Ben Kuan cleared his throat, looked at several pairs of eyes full of expectation, and said, "Everyone, although it is no problem for us to spend this winter with the support of the court, it is necessary to be clear about the future. In our Ming Dynasty, in dealing with such things, there are actually many precedents to follow. I think the first thing is to keep those people who have already settled their people busy."

"Work-for-relief!" Chen Ye's eyes lit up and he blurted out. This was one of the most effective methods used by the Ming Dynasty to deal with those newly conquered lands in the past.

"No, no, no, this is not busy!" Ben Kuan shook his head and said, "The people who return to the market will not have to worry about food rations this winter. And according to my estimate, these people who have been living in Qi will definitely be very thrifty. We will provide them with food rations according to the Ming Dynasty standards, and maybe we can help them to go through the spring."

"What is it for labor-for-relief?" Wan Fu asked frowned.

"The first step is to allocate the land." Ben Kuan said calmly: "For farmers, with land, there is hope, and when they see hope, their minds will be stable."

"Yes, aren't this work done everywhere now?" Chen Ye said.

"The second step is to organize people from all over the world to rectify these lands in this winter. They have been abandoning the land for too long. They set fire first and then ploughed deeper. In this way, after winter, a large number of insects in the fields will be frozen to death, and the soil moisture of the land will become very good, laying a good foundation for spring sowing in the coming year."

"This is the reason, but it won't take a whole winter. What should I do for the rest of the time?" Wu Ling calculated the time in his mind and then asked.

"I asked the officials of Sinong Temple that in the past two days, at the seed base in Yuejing City, they have cultivated many thin vegetables suitable for planting in winter. We should vigorously encourage the returning people to grow these thin vegetables." Ben Kuan said confidently: "The planting cycle of these vegetables is short, the cost is not high, and it does not require too much manpower and material resources. It is best suited for their current situation. More importantly, the return people can earn the first money they earn with their hands. This is hope."

"This is a solution." Wu Ling nodded repeatedly: "We had a joint letter. As far as I know, many of these seeds are not large, so please give us priority. At that time, I will order the troops of the Wuling Military Region to purchase their vegetables, which will solve the sales problem."

Chen also echoed: "In this way, this winter will be almost done. The first money can be used in the hands of the refugees. As far as I know, these people were really empty when they came back. Although the court equipped food, they could only use it to save their lives. However, when people live, they always need to spend other money. When they have money, they feel unhappy."

Ben Kuan smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is a big money-making expert. Isn't it better to operate them and make more money with these dishes? General, I don't agree with the army to buy these dishes. The military's military expenditure is also limited, and the purchase materials are priced. How much can it be sold? Ms. Chen, tell me how."

Chen Ye laughed: "There are so many ways. Now the transportation is so convenient. The sparse vegetables grown in our three counties can be transported to prosperous places such as Shayang, Zhengyang, Changyang, Yuejing City and other bustling places at a very fast speed. First of all, we must promote these miserable situations of returning people everywhere, so that the Ming people in these places know what kind of life their comrades have lived over the years! Now they are back, they have nothing and need help. I think it can arouse a lot of sympathy."

"This way, can you sell it at a good price?" Wanfu said in a puzzled manner.

"Of course." Chen also said proudly: "At that time, we can package and package these sparse vegetables from the hands of return refugees, which can be called carnivorous vegetables. The prices can be set high. What everyone buys is not vegetables, but sympathy, and love for their comrades. The people in these places are rich and not short of money. Besides, how much can all sparse vegetables in the family be worth? Even if you buy a little at a high price, you won't care. Jun Gong, you said that we will organize another group of these sparse refugees who look extremely miserable to the platform to sell vegetables. Will the effect be better?"

"This plan is very wonderful!" Ben Kuan smiled with a smile on his palm.

But Wan Fu, the governor of Yiyang County, disagrees a little: "Is this too harmful to their dignity?"

"Dignity?" Ben Kuan snorted: "Monor Wan Jun, some dignity is not important in front of living. In fact, do these people live very dignified in Qi? He has a prerequisite for being honest and knowing etiquette when he is rich in food and clothing."

"This is how we do it!" Wu Ling made the final decision, "But this is just a plan of equity and cannot last long. The key is still to sow in spring. We must strive to be able to support ourselves in a year."

"General, when spring sowing, I do not recommend large-scale grain cultivation. These lands have been abandoned for too long and have become raw land. If you grow grain, you will not have a good harvest in the first year. At that time, you will still not be able to raise yourself. I suggest growing sweet potatoes. This kind of thing is not picky about the land and produces a lot. No matter the stems and fruits, it can not only eat it to satisfy your hunger, but also do something else, and it is easy to stay. So I suggest that in the first year, we will plant this thing more, plant grain on a small scale. In one to two years, we will spread the grain planting bit by bit."

"Sweet potato? What's this?" Wu Ling asked in surprise.

"General, it seems you have to take a good look at the imperial court's residence." Chen Ye said with a smile: "This is something that came from the Western Regions. It can be called vegetables or grain. It can be served on the table and served as a staple food. It tastes sweet and sweet in nature. The important thing is not to pick the land. It can grow very well if you plant any piece of land. More importantly, it is high yield. This is a crop that the Ministry of Agriculture will focus on promoting next year, especially in the Western Regions."

Wu Ling smiled and reported to the court that he had always only cared about military things. He would pass by any of them. In his eyes, the news about Sinong Temple was nothing he needed to pay attention to. How could he read it carefully?

"After finishing this business, it's almost time for the slack farming. This is the time for us to use labor instead of relief on a large scale!" Ben Kuan smiled and said, "After a winter and a spring, the bodies of these returning refugees have probably been almost done. At this time, we can build roads, water conservancy, and rivers on a large scale, so that they can make another money in the slack farming season."

Chen Ye smiled and said, "After finishing these things, it's autumn harvest. Although there is not much food, there are a lot of sweet potatoes to fill your stomach and don't have to go hungry. If you are tired of eating, you can change the food and change the taste. More importantly, after a year of buffering, they have some savings in their hands. I think that at that time, our desolate border areas and three counties will have a little bit of prosperity."

"After the autumn harvest next year, we can carry out regular military training among these people, and the military officers stationed in the village can also be sent down. These people suffered a lot in Qi State, and they must have hated them tightly. The enthusiasm for revenge must be quite high. As long as the strategy is right, there will be countless additional Zhongyong villages in my Wuling War Zone. Hahaha, Cheng Wuben made an iron wall of Chu in Kunling Pass. At that time, we will not only make an iron wall, but also a iron hammer, defend, defend, and attack, and the momentum is like a bamboo, dancing an iron hammer, and smash the enemy into a shibaluan." The governor of Yiyang County said with a gloomy look.

"That's the case with a big strategy." Ben Kuan said: "But the chief officials of each county must have their little ones, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it. Let them go to the Eight Immortals to cross the sea and show their magical powers. In this process, many smart and capable officials will emerge."

Several people laughed. Wu Ling clapped his hands: "Then let's settle down to report to the court. The people's livelihood of the three counties, and the three of them are very worried. During this period, the army has been busy returning to the refugees and has been lazy in training. Next, the army will calm down. My focus will still be on the army. In short, we must try our best to solve the problem ourselves and cause less trouble to the court. Now the court has enough burden. Some places in the western region are worse than ours. In addition, the matter of Chu State is imminent, so we will work harder to share the worries of Your Majesty."

"You should work diligently to help Your Majesty solve your problems!" Several county magistrates stood up and bowed towards Yuejing City.
