Depart from Jiaocheng south of Taiyuan Prefecture and arrive at Zhending Prefecture.

Li Jing has been walking for twelve days.

Familiar with Li Jing, Wu Tan, Cai Hu, Duan Qi'an and other generals know that Li Jing has a rare restrained personality.

Last time it was the queen in the army.

So along the way, he reminded the soldiers to obey orders and abide by military discipline.

Even so.

The story of Li Jing and Gu Wushuang spread among the nearly 20,000 female relatives rescued in the army.

These women have been walking for more than ten days. The wounds of the past are healing and their future is full of doubts.

I saw that the Song army soldiers were very nice to them.

Including Xiao Jie Gong on the road, he also asked the women who accompanied him to stay away from the distance.

It is a world of difference from the Golden Dog who escorted them to the north before, which specializes in harassing women in the toilet.

He is much more courageous.

They asked the soldiers and started chatting.

Li Jing didn't even know that he was staying with the Empress Dowager honestly.

It actually became a legend in the military.

When we arrived at Zhending Mansion, many officials and royal families asked the soldiers to pass on messages, hoping to meet Li Jing and the Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Zheng and Li Jing also knew what they meant.

Everyone was worried that they would live in Shandong without the support of the imperial court and no livelihood.

"Envoy Li Xuanfu, what is the situation in Jinan Prefecture now? I rescued so many people from Bianliang City and entered Jinan Prefecture. Has there ever been a proper resettlement method?"

What I worry about is not only the rescued families, but also Chen Guoting, Liu Fu and Li Miao.

These three people have never been to Shandong and are not sure about the situation in Jinan Prefecture.

But the consumption of food these days has scared them.

If it weren't for pacifying Dingzhou, Zhending Prefecture and Taiyuan had seized some Jin army's grain, the cattle, sheep and robbed of the Jin army, and the horses that died in battle on the battlefield had already eaten.

I really can't get into Shandong.

"The problems faced by Jinan Prefecture are much more serious than you think. Hebei East Road, Damingfu Road, Hebei West Road, refugees are constantly heading to Jinan Prefecture. When I set off from Jinan Prefecture a few years ago, Jinan Prefecture resettled and evacuated the population of prefectures and counties near Shandong Road, which was nearly two million!"

Li Jing said it lightly, but the figure of two million scared Empress Dowager Zheng and Chen Guoting suddenly stood up.

You should know that Bianliang City is the largest capital of the Song Dynasty, with a population of only 1.5 million.

Give full power to support the world.

There are food, vegetables and traffic flowing in Beijing every day.

"Last year, we seized some gold and silver from Jingou, and asked my brother and Dengzhou Navy to go south to buy grain. The expected number is far from keeping up with the influx of so many refugees! This time, the gold and silver from Jingou need to be exchanged for grain with the navy and caravan. Just in case, these craftsmen, except for some of the houses expanded in Jinan Prefecture, took the rest to Shandong East Road to ask for food from the sea!"

"Try the sea to ask for food?"

The few people present were a little confused.

"The Shandong Peninsula is long and does not rely on water. It takes more than ten days to walk from Jinan Prefecture to the beach. Even if we buy grain from the south through fleet navy, transporting large amounts of grain is a big problem. So Empress Zhu made a bold decision and all the refugees who arrived at Jinan Prefecture after the New Year were unified on Jingdong East Road!"

"Envoy Li Xuan, why didn't you compile these refugees into an army?"

"The Ministry of War is expensive, and the elite is precious. Guan and I also kept people from selecting strong people from the refugees of Jinan Prefecture to join the army. The strategy discussed with Empress Zhu is the first step to supplement the population loss in the deserted areas of Songjiang. The second step is to meet the population required for the development of various mines such as iron, graphite, lime, sulfur, copper, and shipbuilding and logging farms in various places in Sansi. The third step is to meet the population required for the official workshop of Sansi and private workshops. Now the first three steps are already rich, and the fourth step is to migrate to the near coastline. These craftsmen arrived in Jinan Prefecture and were willing to go south to visit relatives and friends, and the rest were placed in Ninghaizhou and Dengzhou!"

This time, the three armies of Jingkang and Wu digested the original three armies of the Xiang army. Some bandits had been severely diluted, especially Zhong Yanhong's army, who were walking and training all the way.

The reason why all the wing troops were drawn was more to create conditions for the future reform of the structure of officials in various prefectures, prefectures and counties.

Among the reforms proposed by Zhou Ning, being responsible for the professionalization of judicial runners is an important part.

You can't use the wing army as a panacea.

Li Jing and Guan Sheng all know that Shandong is not a problem of soldiers and weapons, what is lacking is time.

There are too many new recruits recruited, and the company has problems with long-distance marching. Only after training and then supplementing with veterans can the combat effectiveness be maintained at the greatest possible level.

"Li Xuanfu Envoy, I just ask you, are you and Zhu Lian sure about resolving the food shortage in Shandong next year?"

"There is no big problem. If there is no natural disaster in my eyes next year, it is unlikely that there will be a shortage of food in Jinan Prefecture!"

When he returned to Jinan Prefecture this time, as long as Jin Gou didn't come, Li Jing would not want to be in charge of the war.

As for these craftsmen, they were willing to leave, but their money was scraped off by Jindo. Li Jing was not a good person and had no obligation to sponsor you.

He wants to take them all to Dengzhou and Ninghaizhou.

Improve tools, weave hemp ropes, and use steam engines to drive fishing boats to make fishing.

You know, the fishing boats at this time were all small sampans, and only the fishes farther away could only look at the coast last night.

If you can’t fish enough to eat and can’t buy food, Li Jing won’t rob it.

What are you doing with so many troops?

"Then I don't care about these government affairs and military affairs. The last question is, how to resettle the concubines and the Supreme Emperor? Can Shandong subsidize them some livelihoods for so many royal family members?"

These people's wealth was searched in Bianliang. Even if they were hiding a little in private, they could not escape the devil's clutches of the Jin soldiers on the way.

When you arrive in Shandong, let alone a house that shelters from the wind and rain, eating, drinking, defecation and urination are all a big problem.

"The previous deployments in Shandong were just the humble generals who heard about Chen Zhuo, Zhou Ning and Empress Zhu's arrangements. There was no trivial matter in the court affairs. Huge generals were just military generals, no matter what!"

In the eyes of Chen Tingjing and others, it is normal for Li Jing to refuse this matter.

He was originally a military general, so he just saved people and then saved people.

These royal families, the managers and their families are not what he should be in charge of.

But Li Jing knew that most of the people rescued from Jin Gou this time were literate, and even those who were illiterate had a skill.

In this special era, they are all talented.

However, among these talents, there are so many women who have many entanglements with the palace. Even if they are a little anxious, they are easily beaten and even put a bunch of chicken shit on themselves.

"Don't you care about me, old woman?"

When Empress Zheng heard Li Jing’s shirk responsibility, she was both angry and funny.

The military has clearly been unified.

After arriving in Zhangqiu, Queen Zhu Lian would select some female officials to assist in government affairs among them, and the rest would be arranged to enter workshops, schools, rust buildings and other places based on their personal strengths and abilities.

Working to get food and clothing.

You can also choose to marry the officers and soldiers in the army.

What does it mean to ignore these?

"How can you, you and the two concubines live in my house, and the Li family will support you for the rest of your life!"

"Where are my daughter, daughter-in-law, and the female officials around me?"

"You underestimate the Li family. As long as I, Li Jing, are there, and you and the two concubines' relatives will have all the food and clothing. I guarantee that your food and clothing will not be worse than that of the Bianliang Palace!"

Li Jing finished slapping his chest.

Not only Empress Dowager Zheng smiled, but also Zhao Yupan, Concubine Qiao and Concubine Wang beside him laughed.

Being able to support them is no worse than the food and clothing cost in the palace, unless the Li family is rich enough to rival the country.

"Brave? Li Gefei was a gentleman who was a gentleman in the past, and he had been waiting for the Qingshui Yamen to be an official. How much money does your Li family have?"

"The Li family has no money, do I have money? I have a concubine who can make money!"

He is so shameless, a great man who makes money by his concubine.

It's so reasonable.

Chen Guoting, Liu Wei covered his face, Zhao Yupan and Zhao Zhuzhu wanted to temper his face.

Empress Dowager Zheng felt that Li Jing was more and more fun. If he had been born more than ten years earlier, he would have played with Zhao Ji.

It seems to be teasing, but in fact Li Jing has already given her advice.

The Golden Dog kidnapped the Supreme Lord and did not rescue him this time. If you save him again, you need to make a long-term plan.

It cannot be done in one or two short years.

Except for the older ones, the young concubines were all released like the six thousand palace maids released when the Supreme Emperor passed the throne.

Although these women are actually very young, few of them over the age of twenty.

Besides, Zhao Ji was going to be lucky enough to be a virgin every few days, and he didn't care about these things. In the past, the emperor's cuckold was so strong that he still did not kill the woman who betrayed him.

"Li Xuanfu Envoy, don't talk about it so lively. When you arrive in Jinan Prefecture, if Empress Zhu and Xiao Roujia are not doing well, there is no use in your hands, be careful to cause trouble for you!"

Empress Dowager Zheng decided to go to Shandong and discussed it with Zhu Lian before dealing with it.

Li Jing sighed that the empress dowager who was in trouble was also the empress dowager.
