One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 238 Preparations for dispatching troops

Hearing Qin Yi's words, Wei Ji pondered for a while and then said: "My dear brother, recruiting refugees is indeed a good move, but this matter involves a lot, if there is no sufficient preparation, I am afraid that a good thing will turn into a bad thing. .”

After a short pause, he continued: "There are a lot of abandoned land in Lu County, Changzi, and Huguan. However, a lot of land is still owned, but there are no people to cultivate it. Those unowned lands have also been abandoned. Others seized it. This is not the most important thing. The important thing is that to resettle the refugees, it is not enough to just distribute the land to them.

"First of all, the refugees must have a place to live. Secondly, before the crops they grow are harvested, they need to be provided with food to ensure that they will not starve to death. These things must be fully prepared."

Qin Yi said: "Brother Bo Ru mentioned these issues, Mr. Xi and Mr. Xi have already discussed. Right now, our food reserves are quite sufficient. After the refugees arrive, they can meet their immediate needs. But if there are refugees who are willing to stay However, the government can’t control their food for more than half a year. Therefore, a plan discussed by Mr. Xi and Mr. Xi is to first let these refugees work as tenant farmers for those families with idle land. The employer will provide them with food. The government will according to The number of refugees that the employer takes in and exempts them from a certain percentage of food."

Wei Ji thought for a while, nodded and said: "This plan should be feasible. But what is the specific amount and number of years for the government to exempt the grain tax?"

Qin Yi said: "This needs to be worked out by Brother Boru and other Mu Shou officials. There is still a month left before Mrs. Guo sends troops. Brother Boru, you need to summon those powerful landowners and count how many people they have in their families. How many refugees can be accommodated in this vacant land? We need to discuss with them a plan that satisfies both parties."

"Wei understands."

Qin Yi continued: "As for the residence of the refugees, this is easy to solve. Soldiers are dispatched, the villagers are summoned, and the refugees who are willing to stay in Zhangzi County are built together. In addition, the Huangshiya Iron Mine can also accommodate some refugees. They work as miners and are fed by iron ore."

"Since my dear brother has already considered everything, Wei is relieved." Wei Jian nodded.

Qin Yi hesitated for a while, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said in a low voice: "Brother Boru, I will tell you one more thing. This time, I also plan to follow Yang Feng to send troops to Taiyuan to see if there is a chance. Get rid of Mrs. Guo."

Qin Yi didn't intend to tell Wei Ke about this question.After all, nothing has been done yet, and if the plan fails in the future, Wei Ji will be happy in vain.

But Qin Yi thought again, telling Wei Ji the news would also make Wei Ji more motivated.After he sent troops to Taiyuan, Wei Ji, Xi Zhicai, and Zhao Yun were in charge of the rear. Wei Ji was more motivated, and he felt more at ease.

When Wei Ji heard this, he stood up suddenly: "My dear brother, Wei's great enemy, please take care of my dear brother!"

As he spoke, he was startled as if he wanted to kneel down to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi quickly left his seat, stepped forward to support Wei Qian, and said: "Brother Boru, there are still two questions about the success or failure of this matter. Qin is not confident that he can succeed in one fell swoop."

Wei Jihong said with red eyes: "Regardless of success or not, my virtuous brother will keep this matter in mind, and Wei is very grateful."

Qin Yi said: "Brother Boru, just know the news that Mrs. Guo wants to attack Taiyuan. Just know it yourself and don't tell it."

Wei Ji was stunned: "Then... how to explain the recruiting of refugees to others?"

"Let's just say that I am in charge, and I plan to implement a new decree."

"Oh, Wei understands."

………………

After explaining everything to Wei Ji, Qin Yi immediately went to the barracks again.

Seeing Qin Yi, Xu Huang was overjoyed, and immediately gave Qin Yi a bear hug.Lu Jun also went up to greet Qin Yi warmly.

The three talked for a while, and then came to the tent of the Chinese army.

Qin Yi told Xu Huang and Lu Jun the news that Guo Tai and the Black Mountain Army sent troops to Taiyuan, and also told him his plan to send troops.

"Second brother, let XX follow you to send troops. After more than a month of idleness, XX is not feeling well!" Xu Huang said immediately.

Qin Yi smiled: "Brother, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. This time, a certain plan is to bring only Ji Cai, Liao Hua, and Pei Ji."

When Lu Jun heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Xu Huang was annoyed: "Second brother, why did you choose Ji Cai instead of me?"

Qin Yi said: "Brother, you stay at the rear, the task is even heavier, don't make such a dispute."

"What about Zilong? Isn't he going to fight with you?" Xu Huang asked.

Qin Yi nodded: "Zilong sits in Huguan County. He has to manage both the army and the people. He has a heavier burden than his elder brother. This time, I won't work on him. Anyway, soon after the year, there will probably be a big war Waiting for us. Big brother, hold on to your temper, hold your strength, train your soldiers well, and wait to fight Niu Fu."

"Hey, since Zilong isn't going either, there's nothing to argue about."

Qin Yi smiled, and turned to look at Lu Jun: "Jicai, you should make preparations now, mobilize two hundred soldiers, one hundred auxiliary soldiers, and a supply of ordnance, and follow me back to Zhangzi County tomorrow."

"Promise!" Lu Jun cupped his fists at Qin Yi and left happily.

………………

That night, Qin Yi stayed overnight in the Lu County military camp.He and Xu Huang slept in the same tent, and they chatted until late.The content of the conversation was mostly related to sending troops to Taiyuan and its future development.

Early the next morning, Qin Yi and Lu Jun led the mobilized soldiers, left Lu County, and rushed to Zhangzi County.

Although there were not many of them, they brought a lot of luggage and traveled very slowly. It was not until evening that they felt the county seat of Changzi County.

To the west of the county seat, a simple military camp has been set up.Here, Qin Yi used to place the soldiers and horses who were going to fight in Taiyuan.In the following time, his main energy was to train these people before the battle.

The next day, Qin Yi immediately went to Huguan County.

The purpose of his trip was the same as that of going to Lu County, mainly to explain to Zhao Yun how to resettle refugees, defend against rebellious soldiers, and mobilize troops to fight.

Speaking of the generals to be transferred, Zhao Yun proposed to Qin Yi that Xia Houlan should also accompany Qin Yi to fight.

Qin Yi thought about it, since Xia Houlan joined him, although she worked diligently and worked hard, she never made any contribution.This time in Taiyuan, it was an opportunity for Xia Houlan to make meritorious service.Zhao Yunding made this suggestion to Qin Yi out of this consideration.

Whether public or private, Qin Yi would not refute Zhao Yun's suggestion.As a result, another Xia Houlan was added to the list of generals to fight.

Similarly, Qin Yi only stayed in Huguan County for one night. Early the next morning, he and Liao Hua led 300 people to leave Huguan County and return to Zhangzi County.

So far, Qin Yi's soldiers and horses have been assembled, and the next step is training.
