Chapter 50 Population Growth

"Du Gao, you two have just returned from the third brother. Tell me about his situation." Du Rong was extremely happy to see Du Gao and Du Fang coming back from Black Bear Castle.

"The Third Young Master said that he could accommodate about 15,000 more refugees." Du Gao deliberately pretended to be confused.

"I'm not asking you this. What? Black Bear Castle can still accommodate 15,000 refugees? Where did the third brother get so much food? Ten5,000 refugees are not a small amount. If there is a shortage of food, it's not a small matter. Even if I'm in the Qiangu Office of the Rear Guard, I'm not going to take out so much food at most. The third brother asked my father for food, right? My father couldn't get so much food. Now the most troublesome problem in the entire Chiyang Guard is the food problem. However, if the third brother can really solve the food of the five thousand refugees, it will really solve the big problem." Du Rong was indeed attracted by the matter reported by Du Gao.

"The Third Young Master has reclaimed a large area of ​​wasteland, and maybe he can really support so many people. Moreover, there are a lot of wastelands in Black Bear Castle. If all of them are reclaimed, not to mention just supporting 10,000 or 200,000 people, even 100,000 or 200,000 people will be no problem," Du Gao said.

Du Rong nodded and smiled on his face: "So that's the case, it's easy to deal with. The third brother has made great contributions this time. By the way, what else did the third brother say?"

"It should be written in the letter. Master, you should read the letter from the third master first." Du Fang said.

Du Gao and Du Fang have not yet been able to come back to their senses from what Du Xuan said in front of them. They have always regarded themselves as people from the Du Mansion. They are arrogant in the military camp and enjoy special treatment. They often show off their power in front of ordinary soldiers. Now thinking about it, they feel that the third young master's words are deafening in their ears.

Du Gao and Du Fang were both a little unsteady. Although Du Rong was eager to see his third brother's letter, he was not blind. The expressions of Du Gao and Du Fang were obviously not right.

"What the hell is going on with you two? When you came back from Black Bear Castle, you were as weak as frost." Du Rong's face darkened. There must be something wrong here.

"No, nothing happened." Du Gao was a little panicked.

Du Fang didn't dare to speak, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Du Rong, just like he had something to do with me.

"Du Fang!" Du Rong's voice suddenly became majestic.

Du Fang suddenly thrust his body: "When Brother Gao and I went to the Black Bear Castle training ground to watch the fun, we were driven out by a small team leader of the Third Young Master."

"What's going on? Are you not wearing the military uniforms of our Du family?" Du Rong was a little puzzled.

Du Gao shook his head: "I'm wearing it, but I don't recognize it. He said that the Third Young Master would hand him over the training ground, and he had the final say. Unless the Third Young Master gave him a new order."

Du Fang also hurriedly said, "This is too bullying. I said that we are from the Du family, and he still refuses to give in."

"What do you say about the third brother?" Du Rong did not make any statement, and his expression was still very calm.

"The Third Young Master asked us, what did the general rely on when he walked from Baihu to the position of the commander of the guard? He said that he could not be nepotism, he should be based on his merits, and he should be employed without doubt." Du Fang said.

"The third brother is right. How can I trespass the training ground?" Du Rong said calmly.

Du Gao and Du Fang thought that the eldest young master would be furious after hearing this, but they did not expect his reaction to be so calm.

"You two go down and rest first. In two days, I will send another 15,000 refugees to the third brother." Du Rong said lightly.

Du Rong was not so calm in his heart. He was very annoyed when he heard Du Gao and Du Fang's words, but somehow, he suddenly felt that Du Xuan did that was not completely unreasonable. The people from the Du family did not say anything about loyalty. It is unlikely that the treacherous people would stay in the Du family for such a long time and not be seen through. But are they really suitable to control various important positions of the Du family army?

It is not easy to send 15,000 people from Shiqiao Qianhu House to Black Bear Castle. The food every day is enough to give Du Rong a headache. Fortunately, Du Rong himself is a guard Qianhu House, and providing food for 15,000 people for several days is not a big problem. However, if these people stayed in Shiqiao Qianhu House, they would completely consume the food storage of the guard Qianhu House.

In order not to cause trouble on the road, Du Rong had to send thousands of soldiers from the Qianhu Station of the rear guard to escort these 5,000 refugees. Of course, there is another important task for these thousands of soldiers, which is to ensure that these refugees will not become chaos again. They must also be able to reach Black Bear Castle in good condition. Black Bear Castle is not a good place. It is the most remote fortress in Chiyang Guard. The refugees are not willing to go to these places, and they are more promising with the "Emperor" of Lantian.

But with thousands of soldiers carrying bright big swords following by their hands, these refugees became honest.

About ten days later, Du Rong's thousands of soldiers finally escorted 15,000 people to Black Bear Castle. The original population increased three times, which was indeed very strange.

Fortunately, Du Feng had already prepared a lot of simple houses and built them. When 15,000 refugees arrived, all of them were properly resettled by Du Feng. Having food and having a house to live in, these refugees seemed much more realistic than following Er Yang as a founding general. So the refugees quickly settled down.

Du Feng would not have raised these 5,000 refugees in vain. A large area of ​​land was drawn up in the existing farm next to Black Bear Castle, but this land cannot be cultivated for the time being, and new refugees need to be reclaimed.

Of course, these 5,000 refugees will not let them be used as cows and horses after enjoying the food of Black Bear Castle. Black Bear Castle is not short of livestock. With the help of the wild wolf, Black Bear Castle continues to hunt bison from the forests and grasslands near Black Bear Castle. After training, it can be used for wasteland reclamation.

Most of the more than 15,000 refugees were young and strong, and they could all be trained into new recruits. Du Xuan's strength would suddenly improve. However, Du Xuan was not in a hurry to select soldiers from the more than 15,000 refugees at this moment. You know, they had participated in the rebellion before, and if they did not completely save them, they would become soldiers. They could rebel again at any time.

"Let them reclaim enough land first. After the troops are ordered on the battlefield, then consider selecting people from these refugees." Du Xuan murmured in a low voice.

Time flies very quickly. In less than a month, the 15,000 refugees actually reclaimed nearly 100,000 acres of land. If a season of red sun rice is harvested, they can immediately solve their own food problem.

The new recruits trained by Yang Wancai are finally going to achieve some results. Du Xuan directly taught Yang Wancai the Du family's physical refining skills. After this period of training, some new recruits have emerged from the new recruits who have broken through the physical refining stage and become the Mingjin stage. However, the number is not large, with only a dozen people in total.

Among these dozen people, Chen Xiaochu and Xu Bazhi were among the top.

Du Feng hurriedly found Du Xuan, so he naturally reported on the battlefield.

"Young Master, Yang Wancai asked me to ask you, is the comparison matter still counting?" Du Feng said.

Du Xuan nodded: "The soldiers on the battlefield will naturally be held. The agreed time before is almost the same. Then it will be carried out in three days."
