Chapter 1204 Make the most of the situation
Zhang Zhao reached out and drew a line on the map, glanced at Sun Ce, and then shrank back, looking a little embarrassed. .
Yu Ji passed Gebi and did not enter, so he went to Pingyu.
This matter is troublesome than writing letters to him by Chen Lin and others. Yu Ji is a god and his influence is beyond Chen Lin's scholar. If Sun Ce suspects him, it will be difficult for him to argue. Even if Sun Ce does not doubt him, others will suspect that he has ulterior motives and compete with Sun Ce. After trying hard to persuade Yu Ji, Zhang Zhao had to rush to Gepi to explain in person.
"More than 30,000 people?" Sun Ce sang his little finger and scratched his temples. It was really troublesome to grow hair. If he didn't wash it for two days, he would itch. He was really slutty. He didn't wash it for a month during the battle. But those who live in leisure have to wash their hair every day, otherwise they would feel uncomfortable.
Sun Ce's impatient eyes fell into Zhang Zhao's eyes, and Zhang Zhao became even more uneasy. "Yes, but they are all unarmed civilians, with the constraints of living gods and man Boning, and there will be no trouble."
Sun Ce raised his eyelids and looked at Zhang Zhao for a moment, and couldn't help laughing. "Mr. Zhang, what I'm worried about is not these people causing trouble, what I'm worried about is the food and accommodation of these 30,000 people. There are so many people, so I can't live in the inn, and there are not necessarily so many tents in the wild accommodation. It's already autumn, and it's very cold at night, and it's cold, and I have to bother the gods. Also, there are so many people, men and women, mixed with old and young, and each person needs two liters of rice per day, and 30,000 people are 600 stones. You need to contact the family that supplies well, and you can't shortage."
Zhang Zhao nodded repeatedly, just as he was about to speak, Sun Ce said again: "I will not report this account in advance. As for the food consumed in the post houses along the way, there are buys and sells, I can't say anything, but the food gap caused by this will be filled in, and it will not affect normal official duties. You also know that there are news from Qingzhou every day recently, and postals along the way must ensure the supply of grain and not delay."
Zhang Zhao's face changed slightly, hesitated for a moment, responded and turned away. Without any stop, he strided out of the palace and entered the carriage waiting outside the door, and urged urgently: "Go quickly, go quickly, go back to Pingyu."
Shuzuo Meng Jian followed up, pulled up the car door, sat opposite Zhang Zhao, knocked on the car wall, and signaled the driver to set off. "What's wrong with Mingfu?"
Zhang Zhao looked at Meng Jian and thought for a moment. "Pongwei, do you think... can living gods turn into food?"
Meng Jian was stunned for a moment and laughed out loud. "Ming Mansion, if a living god can transform into food, why would Qing Xu have so many refugees?" He suddenly reacted and couldn't help laughing. "General wants a living god to transform into food?"
"The general did not ask the living gods to become food. He just said that the food provided by the living gods and their ranks would not be recorded."
Meng Jian changed color in shock and didn't say anything for a long time.
Zhang Zhao put his hands in his sleeves, his fingers crossed, his blood vessels pulsated, and his fingertips were slightly numb. Sun Ce's request caught him off guard. Two liters of rice a day is not enough, and it is the standard for survival for the victims. Now he follows the gods, eating is a basic requirement, and some wine and meat must be supplied every once in a while. In this way, it takes about one thousand stones a day, and 30,000 stones a month.
This is not a small amount. After Sun Ce has been remediated several times, the large households with hundreds of hectares of fertile land have basically disappeared. After paying the land rent, those who can have surplus grains of 100 s are considered large households, with the vast majority of them only 300 s of 500 s, which can be used for the family for about two or two years. If the normal consumption of one year is eliminated, there is still a year of preparation for wasteland. These more than 30,000 people have to eat all the surplus grains of two or three households a day. At most one month, the aristocratic family in Pingyu County will basically go bankrupt.
Even if you respect the gods, how many people are willing to give their all to the family?
Zhang Zhao knew that the aristocratic families in Runan could not afford it, so he planned to leave the public account. The prefect was the lord of a county and had a great control over the money and grain in the county. No one would say anything. However, Sun Ce gave this order, which immediately pushed Zhang Zhao into a dilemma. If it were the past, it would not be difficult to solve this problem. He would just raise funds from the aristocratic families, but now the aristocratic families cannot afford it. Where can he get so much food?
Living gods can stop eating, but more than 30,000 people need to eat. If this problem is not solved, this beautiful thing may turn into a disaster.
Man Chong came to the hall and bowed to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce stood up and returned the greeting, signaling Man Chong to take his seat. After not seeing him for a few months, Man Chong lost weight again, but he was very energetic and had bright eyes. He still did not laugh harshly, but his expression was very respectful.
"Have you explained to Guo Jijiu?"
"Yes." Man Chong said: "A lot of things have been reported before, and this time I just exchanged opinions on some issues that are not very clear."
Sun Ce was very satisfied. With Guo Jia in the middle to dispatch and Man Chong personally, Yu Ji's trip was so calm. More than 30,000 people were mixed together, and only Yu Ji, the spiritual idol, but no one really led the command, was easy to get into trouble. After Guo Jia received the news from Xu Fu, he immediately notified Man Chong to go and pick him up. These people have not caused any major incidents so far, and Man Chong has made great contributions.
"How did you arrange it? Let's hear it."
"I didn't do anything, I just arranged some meticulous work to mix it up, guided them to solve some problems and avoid conflicts. Those with food and housing are close to the gods in order, and no one will take the initiative to cause trouble."
"Boning is a great talent, and he is as easy as taking weight. If Yuan Tan cannot use you, how can he be defeated?"
Sun Ce was happy. It was unclear what Yu Ji could bring to him. Verifying Man Chong's ability was an unexpected gain. Man Chong said it was an understatement, but he knew that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed. Even if each work could be responsible for one thousand people, more than 30,000 people would have to be divided into more than 30 groups. These are not well-trained soldiers, and it is even more difficult to manage. Man Chong can manage it in an orderly manner and be peaceful all the way. This ability of coordination is beyond the reach of ordinary people. The characteristics of the Legalists' good at practice are fully demonstrated in Man Chong.
There has been good news recently. He Qi has just proved his ability and occupied Yuzhang. Man Chong showed new skills. If his ability to use troops is as strong as his ability to coordinate, he can command tens of thousands of people in the future and take charge. Judging from the fact that he became the highest military and political chief of the Yangzhou Military Region of Cao Wei in the late Three Kingdoms period, his talent for using troops is not bad, but he lacks an opportunity to train.
"General Xie misappropriated." Man Chong's face was calm, and there was no sign of too much turbulence.
"What do you think about Ji?"
Man Chong bowed slightly. "Although this person has no intention of doing evil, he has the reality of disturbing the people. Chong thought he should be ruled by law. More than 30,000 people did not work for production and eclipsed thousands of stones a day, which is a people who are consuming. Now it is the time for autumn prevention. All regions are warned that food is tight and consumption is unreasonable. If this is the case, it is not a long-term solution. If there are mixed with assassins, the consequences will be even more unimaginable. I hope the general will pay attention."
Sun Ce gently said, "What Boning said is to the point. But it is better to lose it than to block it. Yu Ji is coming, but I can't stop it. The people follow it on their own initiative, and I can't force it to stop it. It's better to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation. It's just that Boning and all his commanders have worked hard. Please ask Boning to greet them on my behalf."
"Here." Man Chong was moved and bowed to salute. "Peng must convey it truthfully."
