It would be fine if Yang Xiu didn't explain, but Zhao Wen felt even more embarrassed when he explained. But when he thought that the gods and immortals had become beggars in Yang Xiu's eyes, he felt relieved. He was just an envoy from the court and had been Sikong, so how could he compare with the gods and immortals? When he met Sun Ce and Yang Xiu, he would admit his bad luck.

Zhao Wen then remembered Ma Ri. He heard from Yang Xiu that Ma Ri was rushing to Luoyang, and Sun Ce sent Ma Chao to greet him. This treatment was much better than when he came to Pingyu. Sun Ce did not send anyone to welcome him, but asked Gu Hui to wait outside the camp, and even Pingyu did not go.

I heard that Ma Ri came to give a marriage, so he shouldn't be treated as a beggar by Sun Ce, right?

While thinking about it, Zhao Wen had a casual chat with Yang Xiu. After a trip to Xu County, he felt a lot of emotion. Feng Fang had been farming for more than two years, and not only could he be self-sufficient, but also provided some surplus grain to the nearby garrison. On the one hand, this was due to the good farming conditions in Yingchuan, and on the other hand, it was also due to the policies of the prefect of Yingchuan. Pang Shanmin. Pang Shanmin was less than 30 years old, and because of his relationship with Sun Ce, he became the prefect of Yingchuan. At first, he did a difficult job. No one in the Yingchuan family was willing to pay attention to him. After a few years, he could achieve such results, which surprised Zhao Wen very much.

Sun Ce really dared to use people, and he used them right. Pang Shanmin, a young man who had just entered the government, actually managed a place like Yingchuan, which has always been difficult to treat. Although he was a little staggering in the early days, his growth rate was very amazing. He achieved more than ten years of achievements in three to five years.

When he arrived at the central army, Zhao Wen followed Yang Xiu into the door. Sun Ce was standing in the courtyard and talking to several generals. Seeing them coming in, he explained a few words and asked the generals to retreat.

"When will Mr. Zhao come back? Come and see the gods?"

Zhao Wen laughed awkwardly. It was originally a good thing to look at the gods, but now it seems that this is really embarrassing.

"How is it, are you willing to accept my advice?"

"General, do you still have food?"

"Then don't worry, as long as the court is willing to lend me the book, I have to pick some food out of my mouth." Sun Ce laughed loudly.

Zhao Wen didn't know how to answer, so he had to vaguely say that he hadn't decided yet and wanted to see more. Sun Ce didn't urge him, but instead said to Yang Xiu, who looked unhappy, and said, "There are many people?"

Yang Xiu nodded. "General, how to fill this gap, I really have no choice."

"It's not your fault, I'll find a way." Sun Ce waved his hand and asked Zhao Wen to take the seat in the hall first, then pulled Yang Xiu's shoulder to the hall. "Dezu, you have worked so hard recently. Why don't you take a few days off and take advantage of the autumn scenery to go out and relax?"

Yang Xiu looked at Sun Ce blankly, not knowing what Sun Ce wanted to say. Do you think his recent work is not effective?

"General..."

"The way of civil and military affairs is to relax and relax. During the autumn harvest period, you are the busiest one and can't even relax in rest. I know. Now that the autumn harvest has ended, the food on the front line has basically been transported in place, there should be nothing particularly big next. If you want to take a break, I can give you a month off. You accompany Mr. Zhao to the nearby area to see the scenery, find the scenery, and change your mind."

Yang Xiu was a little moved. He was indeed too busy during this period. If he could give up his official duties and take a break for a while, it would be a good thing.

"He Gongmiao just came to the news. He defeated the high-ranking officials and controlled Nanchang. But Yuzhang was still unstable, and there were many powerful people who resisted stubbornly. He wanted to lead troops to fight, and there was a lack of someone who could sit in Nanchang and raise food and grass. If you want, I want you to be the prefect of Yuzhang for a while and help He Gongmiao stabilize Yuzhang."

"Ta...the prefect?"

"Don't want to? Although Nanchang is in Jiangnan, the scenery is very good, with beautiful mountains and rivers..."

"No, no, no." Yang Xiu quickly interrupted Sun Ce. "General, I have no intention of disdaining Yuzhang. Yuzhang is the largest county in Yangzhou. With such an important position, I am afraid that I... can't afford it."

"You can afford it, you can afford it." Sun Ce said repeatedly: "Your ability is obvious to all. It is impossible for me to have a Yuzhang County to prevent you. There is another important reason why I transferred you to Yuzhang, which is the main road to Jiaozhou..."

Zhao Wen sat aside, watching Sun Ce and Yang Xiu communicated with the importance of Yuzhang and the plan to open Jiaozhou, and his mood was a little complicated. How old is Yang Xiu this year? It seems that he is only twenty years old and is from the Yang family of Hongnong. It is ridiculous that Sun Ce would hand over Yuzhang County to him. Even if Yang Xiu was born in four generations and three masters, he had a relatively high starting point, so he could not be so arrogant. At least he had to go to a county first, or be the prefect of a small county. If he gets familiar with it, how could he give him such a heavy burden at once?

When Zhang Zhaoren reached middle age, it was a bit difficult for him to be the prefect of Runan. No matter how smart Yang Xiu was, he was young and inexperienced.

Zhao Wen was very worried about Yang Xiu, but Yang Xiu was very excited. Starting as the prefect and being a big county like Yuzhang is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Yuzhang accounts for half of the population of Yangzhou, and he is like running side by side with Yu Fan, who is also in charge of Wuhui. If Yuzhang's mission is completed well, it will be a good start for his career.

"General, I'll think about Yu Zhang's affairs again." Yang Xiuqiang was excited and tried his best not to lose his composure. "I don't think the matter of Yu Ji in front of me can end it simply."

"What are some good suggestions for Dezu?"

"You can't let those 30,000 people leave like this." Yang Xiu leaned against Sun Ce. "With Junyi, Suiyang and Rencheng in hand, you can basically control the front line in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and especially Runan, you have the potential to operate. Man Boning found so many land and land this time, and it's useless to stock up in his hands. Why don't you use it to attract wanderers? Why are these 30,000 people willing to follow Yu Ji? Is it just because Yu Ji is a god? Otherwise, most of these people have broken family business and nowhere to rely on, so they put their hope on the gods..."

Yang Xiu talked happily. The more than 30,000 people around Yu Ji were gradually accumulating. Except for those who simply wanted to see the charm of the gods, many were bankrupt people, especially those in Qingxu and the two prefectures. Qingxu has been fighting for wars over the years. Last year, Yuan Xi and Tian Kai fought for Qingzhou and planned to enter Xuzhou. They repeatedly entangled in Qi, Beihai and Langya counties. Many people left their hometowns because of this. Some went north to Liaodong, and some went south to Wuhui. Now these people have come to Yuzhou, why don’t they leave others?

More than 30,000 people, even if only one-tenth of them are available, there are more than 3,000 people. Those with skills can fill the workshops, and those without skills can arrange military farms. This year, many families in Yuzhou have fled, some of them have land, some have residences, and even many manors are empty. They can be used to clean up and use them for resettlement. At that time, select some of the young children from them to enter the county school and the wooden school. After three or five years, they will be useful, all laborers.

"Yu Ji is a god. He can only bring them illusory hope, but he cannot let them eat. If the general can allow these refugees to live and work in peace and have enough food and clothing, can they not be grateful to the general and not worship the general as a god? How much grain did Yu Ji eat along the way? Leaving these people can make up for some losses."

Sun Ce took out a token and put it in Yang Xiu's hand. "Dezu, you can settle the accounts, so you will leave this matter to you. If you want to cooperate, you can contact them directly."

"Here." Yang Xiu took the token and bowed to accept the order.
