After achieving gratifying results in resistance to the last locust plague, people's trust in Qing Cang has reached its peak. I believe that he will be praised several years later.

At the end of the eighth lunar calendar, the harvest season is about to usher in, but several companies are happy and worried. Although Huaxia City suffered great losses due to the last culling of locust plague, it is within a controllable range. During this period, it imposed some favorable policies, such as delaying people's repayment time, or reducing and exempting farmers with particularly severe losses to cope with the upcoming cold winter.

But the people in the West are not so lucky. Every time, Yang Xiaomei would send back news that due to the locust plague, a large amount of land was eliminated, and a large number of areas were trapped in famine. It was precisely because of the famine that their recruitment became very smooth. Sometimes, just one steamed bun could send their daughters to a place with famine and let them join the Women's Army. Anyway, if you open your mouth and waste more food, it would be better to send your children to a place without famine.

According to her, she was already very close to Qianghu at this time, and was only a few dozen miles away. During this period, Qing Cang also sent her messages to make her be careful. After all, the closer she got to Qianghu, the more she would have an impact on her personal safety.

On the other hand, Yang Zizong is already reporting on the progress of the hundred houses.

"Commander, the hundred houses you asked me to build have been almost completed. Now we are moving into a wooden bed, and one room can accommodate about twenty people."

He doubled the resident's beds and lived in more places as much as he could to reduce the pressure on Huaxia City.

At the same time, Wu Chaojing was also in the meeting hall. Following his words, he said: "Commander, as you expected, more than a thousand refugees have entered the city, and we are currently requesting our assistance."

After listening to the report of the two, Qing Cang said: "Yang Zizong, you have done a good job. In addition to 100 rooms, you can create another 100 rooms! Regarding refugees, and Minister Wu, you can select strong personnel suitable for joining the army from the thousand refugees. As long as they agree to join the army, they can provide a one-year tax exemption policy to their families and help them survive this winter. At the same time, each household is rewarded with 10,000 yuan. There are also subsidies for land reclamation. At the same time, you should also ask if the Women's Army is short of people. Some women with potential can also absorb them into our army."

Yang Zizong said: "I understand!"

Wu Chaojing said, "Commander, I'm afraid that the house is not enough for thousands of refugees to live in. As far as I know, there will be more and more refugees in the future."

"I also considered this. If we couldn't stay, our army would escort them to Quyang and Leping, where the treatment was equivalent to that in Huaxia City."

Winter will be coming in a few months. With the arrival of winter, living conditions will become more severe. If there is no place to live, then this winter will be very sad.

Wu Chaojing said: "If this is the case, it is indeed possible. The two cities can accommodate at least 20,000 people."

"That's it, you can go down and report if you have any questions!"

"Yes! I understand!"

After Yang Zizong and Wu Chaojing retreated, only Guo Jia and Qing Cang were in the entire convention hall.

Qing Cang said, "What do you think about Zhang Yi's escape from prison?"

Just now, Qing Cang received news that Zhang Yi escaped from prison with the cooperation of his old subordinates. He wanted to hear Guo Jia's opinion on this matter.

Guo Jia said, "I think he can no longer be a climate. If he goes back to Luoyang, he will inevitably be punished by Emperor Ling of Han because of losing Jinyang City, and the pain of being imprisoned again. I guess he may be incognito. If he goes back to Luoyang, he will not be able to make any big waves. With the last failure and asked a lesson, he will not dare to come again. Perhaps we can release the news that he has an underground arsenal to ensure that he does not dare to take any further steps in Luoyang City."

"Well, you have a pretty good analysis, it's not much different from what I think, so I'll let you release the news. There's another thing, I want Luo Xiu to conquer Jiuyuan, what do you think?"

"The locust plague was caused by the vicinity of Jiuyuan. Now Jiuyuan should be the most severely affected place. At this time, the city guard should be in a mess. With the migration of a large number of refugees, it can indirectly reflect that the problem of the city guard in Jiuyuan is not able to manage the food shortage. But if one of the disadvantages of Jiuyuan is occupied, it will consume our food reserves and add our consumption. Without supply, if there is no food, we will live a very tight life this winter."

Guo Jia said this, the reason is very obvious. The population of Jiuyuan is more than 200,000. Because the famine has become prominent, such a large number of people have to eat. Solving the problem of eating is enough for him to have a headache.

"It seems like I have to drag it out."

Guo Jia said this, and he had to wipe out his own ideas. After all, it is not a wise approach to accept a city full of famine, and he is not a philanthropist. But this matter is contradictory. When the population of Jiuyuan City reaches less than 200,000, then even if he is in use, it will not be of much use. If he cannot complete the task of occupying the city, the task requires more than 200,000 people. It is better not to take this risk, so Jiuyuan does not intend to occupy it.

"I think the county towns around Jinyang can be taken down and the wealth in the county town will be reduced to Jinyang City. With the size of Jinyang, it can be regarded as the second Huaxia City!"

"From there, 20,000 recruits can be recruited in a short time, I know that there is unlimited potential, just as you said!"

Qing Cang also thought about this, but he hadn't had time to deal with it during this period. Today, he was in his spare time. So he said, "Let Dian Wei come in and see me!"

After a while, Dian Wei brought Yun Zhongfeng and Le entered the meeting hall.

Dian Wei entered the door and said, "Commander, are you looking for us?"

"Yes, we have one thing that is very important at hand. We want you to do it, which can accumulate military achievements for the two deputy brigade commanders Yun Zhongfeng and Le Jin."

Qing Cang intended to promote the two of them. Since they entered the legion, they had not fought a war yet. Now he decided to let them go out for some training.

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were happy.

The two of them said in unison: "Commander just give orders!"

"Okay, I want your Independent Second Brigade to go out immediately to Jinyang to meet Luo Xiu, and occupy the county town near Jinyang as soon as possible. The more the better. It is best to kill the nearby bandits and then merge all the money and property they have obtained into Jinyang City."

"Yes! This task is not difficult. With me, Dian Wei, it's very simple!"

Qing Cang said with a little deeper meaning: "Dian Wei, give up some of the things that should be given, and the most greedy for merit!"

Dian Wei was straightforward and didn't care about anything. "Commander, I understand that although Dian Wei is a rough man, I still understand your intentions very well. I will definitely let them accumulate military achievements!"

"Okay, then thank you three of you!"

The three of them immediately went out to order their troops and headed towards Jinyang.
Chapter completed!
