"Erlang, I think I can talk to the Chen family, Huang family, and Tan family again." Cui Shang seemed to have been thinking for a long time before speaking.

"Talk? Do you think they will change their attitude?" Jiang Feng was calm, carrying his hands behind his back, watching several soldiers beating several unhonest refugees under the city wall. This kind of thing happened every day.

"It is impossible to completely change, but I think it can be alleviated. If we can reveal some of the discussions on the distribution of land in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Huoshan, I think it can greatly alleviate their hostility and also help promote the measures for the procuratorial prosecution." Cui Shang sighed. There were many problems here, and Erlang still thought about the problem too simply.

"This winter is not easy. Even if we can get some food in Daliang and Nanyang again, if these refugees are driven to the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Huoshan next year, there will be many problems. Where will their seeds and animal power come from? And they will have to survive until the summer harvest before harvesting. Where will the food come from during this period? Also, now the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Huoshan are basically looted and burned into white land. At least thatched houses that shelter from wind and rain will be built. Now these refugees have nothing. Without the support of these gentry and tribes, these things will not be done well by the government alone, and the effect will be much worse."

Jiang Feng was silent.

He knew what Cui Shang said was reasonable. He wanted to drive refugees to the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Huoshan that have now turned into white land to enrich them. This idea was good, but it was too ideal.

This matter cannot be done by relying solely on the government's staff. This requires a large number of familiar and certain organizational management capabilities and experience to take the lead and guide, and also requires a large amount of materials to be guaranteed. It can be said that if you are not good at these aristocratic families, you can't do it well, and this is too ideal.

It was just that Jiang Feng was unwilling to make himself make concessions on the ground. At this moment, whoever raised the deadlock first would be at a disadvantage.

Of course, Cui Shang proposed that the great families such as Chen and Tan exchanged the familiar land in Gushi and Yincheng to exchange for the land in the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Huoshan. Of course, this requires some concessions on the conditions.

"Bai Ling, I know what you mean, and you have to wait. We can't give in easily like this, otherwise we will be more passive in the future." Jiang Feng's eyebrows became a little more rebellious, and his tone gradually became firmer.

"We can't just give them too much. I think the Xu family and the Ju family may come to us. At that time, I think the Chen family and the Tan family will be busy. When we come to give them such a step, they will accept it better and certain conditions will be more suitable."

Cui Shang thought for a while and felt that Jiang Feng's opinion was more stable.

This is related to the dominance after the establishment of the Qingzhou Province in the future. Of course, Cui Shang was not willing to be taken away by local gentry such as Chen and Tan, and used outsiders such as Xu and Ju to suppress Chen, and local gentry such as Tan, to fight against poison with poison, so that balance can be achieved.

"Then Erlang might as well set the grain issues in Daliang and Nanyang earlier, so that the Chen Tan family can be more confident. When the Xu family and the Ju family come, I think they will be willing to compromise." Cui Shang thought for a while, "In addition, some trouble can be made appropriately, such as the soldiers causing trouble after drinking and demanding that the gentry confiscate the land and give them..."

Jiang Feng laughed. Literature is a literati. As long as he is willing to use means, he will definitely be better than ordinary warriors.

Just as he was about to praise Cui Shang, he saw Zhang Wanshan attract Yang Kan, whose face had not yet recovered, and quickly stepped forward: "Qilang, why did you come up on the wall? Didn't you agree to take a few more days off? With Zhang Yue here, you can't let it go?"

"I can't feel at ease when I lay in bed." Yang Kan couldn't help but shake his head, "After sleeping for so long, my bones were itchy. If I can't get up, I feel that it's almost ruined. Erlang, you and Bai Ling are here, I have a suggestion."

"Oh? Please tell me." Jiang Feng still attached great importance to Yang Kan's opinions, but Yang Kan's health has not yet fully recovered during this period, so he was not able to disturb the other party.

"I see the number of refugees outside the north and south city gates increasing day by day. Now there are 50,000 or 60,000. In addition, there are still thousands or tens of thousands in the city. It doesn't require so many people to repair the moat and the city walls. And they will not do anything here this winter, and we also have to care about them not starving to death. If that is the case, why don't we form two armies anymore?"

To form two armies?! Yang Kan's words scared Jiang Feng and Cui Shang. Now the six or seven thousand military forces are no longer able to bear it. If you form two armies again, you will need more than ten thousand people. I have seen that there are more than ten thousand troops in just these two counties. Can you hold on?

Seeing Jiang Feng and Cui Shang’s concerns, Yang Kan shook his head: “I mean to form a garrison army in Gushi and Yincheng, and station on the ground. You are also planning to inspect the land and recover a batch of land for the soldiers in the army. It is better to use this method to let these garrison army plant these land first, and also let the garrison army start to train basic training in the slack farming period. Once the conditions for establishing a new army are ripe, they can enter immediately. It is much better than learning and adapting to the army. Once a war starts, the losses will be much lighter."

Yang Kan's suggestion made Jiang Feng and Cui Shang lit up their eyes.

This suggestion is very practical and valuable.

This method of farming was somewhat similar to the Cao Wei period of the Three Kingdoms. Of course, it was much smaller in scale. It was the method of culturing mature fields. The labor intensity was not that great. You could have more energy to focus on training, and at the same time you could protect the land that should have been distributed to the soldiers.

This can also inspire the training passion of these new garrison soldiers, because these lands belong to the soldiers, and as long as they perform well in the future, they can still receive such treatment.

Jiang Feng and Cui Shang looked at each other and laughed, obviously they were all moved, but the negotiations with the big tribes such as Chen and Tan were going to speed up, which was extremely delayed.

"I think this suggestion of Qilang is feasible. It is only 5,000 troops. They have to consume food when they stay outside the city. It is better to go to the military farm for training. The army in Yincheng can fully defend, and there are relatively many raw land in the south there, so it can also be reclaimed." Cui Shang was moved and supported.

The tens of thousands of refugees outside Gushi City have brought great pressure to Gushi in all aspects. If they can recruit a garrison from this refugee, and their family and relatives, they should probably be around 10,000 people. Moving to Yincheng can greatly reduce the pressure on Gushi, and at the same time enrich the southern part of Yincheng for land reclamation.

Yincheng County is relatively small inhabited by the Dabie Mountains in the south. Although there are many raw land and many mountainous areas, the general security is good. Moreover, the south is also the three Dabie Mountains in Huangzhou, which is safe and safe. As long as they can ensure that the food, seeds and animal strength of their harvests from winter to next summer, they can gain a foothold in the southern part of Yincheng, which can be regarded as enriching the basic foundation of Gushi.

Jiang Feng was also interested. As the number of refugees from the east and north increased, Gushi could no longer bear it. Not only food, but also various problems emerged.

Especially the fights that vagrants from Yingzhou and Shouzhou counties have occurred almost every day, and the inspection side cannot manage them. If a group of people can be moved away, it can also relieve the pressure.

It is just that two garrison troops are needed, and the necessary winter clothes, leather armor, weapons and other supplies must not be missing, which is another huge expense. If Gushi's current family is not out to beg for alms as soon as possible, he will soon be idle.

Jiang Feng thought for a while and made a decision: "I think it's possible. Since this is the case, we must start as soon as possible. However, the garrison is also an army. On the one hand, we need to wear armor and weapons, and on the other hand, we also need to draw some officers to organize. We need to discuss this carefully. Since Qilang, you have made this suggestion, you have to bring out a few people in the First Army and enrich a group of old soldiers to lead the area."

Yang Kan did not refuse, "Erlang, Li Tong has brought people back to Daliang. I estimate that he can bring a group of people back within two months at most. At this time, the First Army can draw some officers to form these two garrison troops, but after the people Li Tong brought back, the First Army should be given priority."

After determining to form two infantry and cavalry, Jiang Feng arranged for Li Tong, who had not arranged his position, to return to Daliang and conduct large-scale recruitment again.

The main direction of recruitment is still the dismissal of the former Guangsheng Army and the Longhu Army. Because both armies are victims of the dispute over the throne between Daliang, the Guangsheng Army participated in the current battle for the throne of Daliang, while the Dragonhu Army involved the dispute over the throne of the current Liang King Zhu Yun at that time.

In a sense, these are all a group of people who are defeated and no longer likely to turn over. It is already good to be investigated without investigation, but at Gushi, it is considered to have entered another world. Especially after the Gushi army repelled the Caizhou army, its reputation has risen. If these people who were not looking down on the Gushi army, they believe that they can attract many talents to Gushi.

This is also the advice Chang Kun gave him, which can not only eliminate some potential hidden dangers for Daliang, but also avoid being interfered with by Daliang. After all, these people went to Gushi to work hard and were considered to have left Daliang. As for the current situation of Gushijun, it is not worth worrying about anything about Daliang.

Li Tong is a member of the Li Zi clan. Li Zi, Li Si'an, Li Tangbin, and Li Hanzhi are the well-known "Four Lis" in the Daliang army. Although these "Four Lis" are not the same family, the "Four Lis" have their own power in the Daliang army. Among them, the Li Zi clan has the greatest power, and Li Tong is a concubine's child of the Li Zi clan.
