"You seem to be very happy recently?" Lu Lingqi helped Liu Yi put a stack of copied bamboo slips on the table, and said in confusion.

"I have money and food. Now people are coming. Do you think I should be happy?" Liu Yi put a letter from Zhuge Liang on the table and said with a smile.

Deng's mother handed over a bowl of sweet soup she had just cooked to Liu Yi and Lu Lingqi, and said curiously: "I know the money and grain, but where does this person come from?"

At present, even the Jiangdong side has started to contact the business of Tiangongfang. Deng’s mother knew about it, but the population problem has always been a flaw in Mocheng. Even though Liu Yi kept advertising and walking around the public, saying that Mocheng was so good, it was a pure land in troubled times, but the results were not much.

To be honest, life in Mocheng is indeed very good. Just an automatic water draw mechanism makes people's lives much more convenient. There are also public bathhouses. Even families with status like Liu Yi, Lu Lingqi, and Wei Yue have separate bathhouses, which makes bathing much more convenient. Maybe men don't think it's anything, but for women, it's too convenient.

But if you say these things, you have to believe them. For Liu Yi, it is just a combination of mechanical techniques and some experiences in later generations, but for ordinary people, it is nothing different from a fantasy.

So Deng's mother was very confused about Liu Yi's words.

"Cao's army has gone south!" Liu Yi said with a smile.

Cao's army went south, which was actually not a good thing. The 13th year of Jian'an was a turbulent year, especially after Liu Biao's death last month, power struggles began within Jingzhou, and signs of instability within Jingzhou had begun.

Now that Cao Cao's journey south has caused a large number of people in northern Jingzhou to flee to avoid military disasters. A major chaos in Jingzhou will be inevitable. This is not a good thing, but for Mocheng, it is a great thing.

A large number of refugees went south, Jingling was close to the Han River and had sufficient urban defense system. When a large number of county magistrates and the prefect were unwilling to accept refugees, Liu Yi opened the door of convenience and took the initiative to accept refugees. However, in recent days, the people in the city have doubled.

The nature of returning people to their hearts and Liu Yi has prepared in advance will surely allow these refugees to return to their hearts quickly.

Cao's army headed south?

Deng's mother looked at Liu Yi in confusion, nodded, and did not speak, and did not understand.

"How is the recruitment of Wei Yue?" Liu Yi did not explain much. He was the letter sent by Zhuge Liang. He hoped that Liu Yi could accept some refugees. Now Liu Bei was ready in Fancheng, but the main force of the headquarters was still in Xinye to give Cao Cao a warning. However, Cao Cao had many soldiers and a wide range of generals, so it was impossible to defend Xinye. Only by retreating to Fancheng and joining Jingzhou troops could he block Cao Cao. However, Liu Bei, a refugee along the way, did not want to take advantage of Cao Cao, and was preparing to take him away, but he knew he was unable to protect him. So he hoped that Liu Yi could bring some ships to attract some refugees to Jiangxia.

Although it is Irjiangxia, in Liu Yi's opinion, that is his own. Doesn't Mocheng belong to Jiangxia?

"Recently, many of the new refugees are willing to join the army. In addition, the soldiers who were originally in my city have now gathered in one school." Although Lu Lingqi likes to be with Liu Yini during this period, she has not given up training and stays in the school every morning.

According to the current organization, there are five people, one t, five t, one team, two teams, one trench, two trench, one song, two songs, and one piece. A school usually has two trench, that is, eight hundred people. Of course, there are also five trench, one school, but now, one school refers to two trench, that is, eight hundred people.

"It's not enough, but there's no time to recruit any more. Let General Wei immediately order five hundred men and hire another thousand boatmen!" Liu Yi smiled and said, "Let's pick up people!"

Liu Yi knew that he would come this day, and had already started to prepare. There were 100 mother-child ships with mechanisms parked in the water village. Although they were not as good as the Jingzhou warships, they could accommodate up to two or three hundred people, but they were enough to accommodate about fifty people. And they were relatively loose. If they were to be filled with cans, they might be able to stuff them all. In conjunction with mechanism skills and style, they could go back and forth in seven days.

He was ready to do nothing during these days, so he went back and forth to pick up people. He transported hundreds of children and mother ships back and forth, and only four or five trips could fill the population of Mocheng. Of course, the premise was that the situation could give him so much time.

"Mrs. Sister-in-law, please ask more women who can cook, maybe they can use it." Liu Yi looked at Deng's mother again and said.

There is no way. Now there are not many people he can use at hand, so men and women don’t care about it, just be able to help with things.

"Don't worry, sir, I'm awake." Deng's mother agreed with a smile.

Liu Yi stood up and said, "I will go to the Shuizhai to dispatch personnel first. Lingqi will go to the news about General Wei, five hundred soldiers, and five people in each ship are already a bit thin. Remember to choose the best one."

"Yeah." Lu Lingqi nodded, glanced at the bamboo slips that Liu Yi put down, but didn't go to see. Seeing Liu Yi leave, she also left. Now the relationship between the two is very close and has a corresponding tacit understanding. How to do many things, she has a formula in her mind. Liu Yi is not the kind of man who just tolerate it. He has his own bottom line. When can he get a little tantrum, he will spoil him and when he is not accustomed to it. Over the past few days, Lu Lingqi has figured it out clearly, and tacit understanding naturally arises.

Liu Yi was walking on the road with great strides. In which direction should he develop in the future? In fact, after he defected to Cao Cao and provoked Cao Ren, he was still confused and he had no idea.

It is still not known now, but he knows how to go now. With such good attributes of Mocheng, he naturally needs to develop more people. The people's hearts and the unity of the military and the people, etc., to a certain extent, the attributes that can affect people's hearts and thoughts are too beneficial to him. As long as he does not make too serious mistakes, the city will become his most solid backing. In the future, whether it is to send talents to all parties to expand his influence in the world, or to be able to gain all the best and strengthen himself through war, he can advance and retreat freely.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang sent a letter to invite him to help transport refugees. In Liu Yi's view, it was an opportunity to strengthen himself. This opportunity must not be missed. So this time, Liu Yi personally led his team along the river north to Xinye and Fancheng to accept refugees.
