The Lu family at the end of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 92

Finally, Lu Yi caught up with Zang Ba and others, and returned to Lujiang County with them.

"My lord, there are too many people. The two grain storage bases you budgeted for have been reclaimed, but there are still quite a few people with nothing to do!"

When Lu Yi returned to Shouchun, Zhuge Jin came to report to Lu Yi the situation of the farm.

There is no way, Jiujiang County can be regarded as the narrowest county, and the land is pitifully small.

In addition to the northern part of Lujiang County and the southern part of Runan County, there is no food base that can support nearly 200 million people.

This is a big hassle!

Zhuge Jinye didn't expect that Lu Yi would get such a disaster victim to hide.

"This……"

Lu Yi really hadn't thought about this question.

In his heart, he only thought that the population would be insufficient, but now he couldn't think of the lack of land.

It's no wonder that 200 million people are more than the population of some states in the north.

"Bring me the map."

If it really doesn't work, Lu Yi doesn't mind lengthening the battle line a little bit.

Zhuge Jin laid out the map and showed it to Lu Yi.

"How about this, move the rest of the people to the vicinity of Chaohu Lake, where they will farm!"

Lu Yi pondered for a while, then spoke.

Farming by the lake is also a good way.

Because the soil by the lake is considered fertile, otherwise no one would fill it up around the lake.

The most important thing is that Chaohu Lake is within its own territory, and it is also very close to Shouchun.

"My lord is wise!"

Zhuge Jin also agreed with Lu Yi's method.He complimented Lu Yi, but his expression still didn't change much.

"However, my lord, there is still one problem to be solved!"

Although the problem of insufficient land has been solved, there is still a bigger problem that needs to be solved.

"Oh? What else?"

Lu Yi really couldn't think of anything else that needed to be resolved urgently.

"My lord, the combined population of Lujiang County and Jiujiang County is close to 200 million, so what should we do to solve the problem of food for these people?"

Zhuge Jin wept with a mournful face.

Even if Lu Yi got 20 shi of grain and grass from the Yellow Turban Army, plus Yuan Shu's grain, there would be a total of 50 shi of grain.

However, it is impossible to feed 50 million people for five months with 200 pieces of grain.

One hundred thousand stones of grain can feed 10 people for three months!
50 shi of grain can only feed 50 people for three months.

So, what should we do with the remaining 60 million victims of the original 90 million people in Diaolujiang County and Jiujiang County?What about the remaining two months?
"Hey, this..."

Lu Yi was stunned all of a sudden.

He only thought that the larger the population, the better, so that he could bring them a large source of soldiers and food.

However, he forgot to consider, with his ability, whether he can support so many people...

"Mr. Ziyu, is there any solution?"

He had no other choice, so he could only ask a military adviser like Zhuge Jin if he had any coups to solve it.

"Lord, my idea is to buy from Jingzhou. You know, Jingzhou has fertile soil and a population of 800 to [-] million. In addition, there have been no wars in Jingzhou in recent years. I don't know how much grain and grass has been stored in Jingzhou. I and a few The military adviser discussed that we can go to Jingzhou to buy grain."

Zhuge Jin spoke out his method.In this troubled world, there are not many places that have not been affected by the flames of war until now.

There are only Jingzhou, Yizhou Jiaozhou and Liaodong.

And Jingzhou is undoubtedly the richest state, extending in all directions, and is one-third richer than Yizhou, the land of abundance!
"But, will Liu Biao buy food for us?"

Lu Yi frowned.

He was afraid that the old guy Liu Biao would attack his Jingzhou after he had enough food and grass, so he would not sell him food and grass.

It's not impossible either.

"Probably not. I heard that the food in Jingzhou is so abundant that it becomes moldy."

Zhuge Jin felt incredible.

He heard from others that Jingzhou had a good harvest every year, and there was so much food that there was no place to store it, so he had to let him get moldy.

There should be no need for Liu Biao to fight against money, right?
"Well, let's send someone to talk to Liu Biao. If Liu Biao is willing, that's fine. If not, I have a way!"

After Zhuge Jin's reminder, Lu Yi also had a solution.Although Liu Biao is the well-deserved boss in Jingzhou, there are still many people who can't even manage Liu Biao.

That is the great family of Jingzhou!
If Liu Biao doesn't plan to sell them food, then go find these great families.

These big aristocratic families, as long as they have money and interests, there is nothing they can't do.

"Yes!"

Zhuge Jin withdrew after reporting all the situation to Lu Yi.

"Ah~"

After Zhuge Jin left, Lu Yi sighed helplessly.

I really don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea are!
Which one of the princes in the novel doesn't have everything going well, just hug a beautiful woman for a day?
As for myself, not only do I have to go to war by myself, but I also have to figure out how to deal with internal affairs by myself.

If Lu Yi doesn't go by himself, should he let Lu Bu go?
Um, if Lu Bu were to go, the [-] troops might not be able to defeat Cao Cao's [-].

Lu Bu is only suitable to beat Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu, Ma Teng and other scumbags.

Faced with a cunning guy like Cao Cao, Lu Bu might as well forget it.

As for his subordinates, can they truly be on their own? Only Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun, right?
Zhang Liao is not here now, he has gone to Shangdang, while Gao Shun is regarded by Lu Bu as a bodyguard.

No matter what he said, Lu Bu just refused to let Lu Yi take Gao Shun away, which really made Lu Yi speechless.

And letting Xu Huang marry against Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun is not enough.

They are old, and most of them will not kill them.

But Cao Cao will not soften his heart, Xu Huang must suffer.

As for Gan Ning, he was a bully. Although he was submissive to Lu Yi now, he was actually wild at heart. Letting him lead troops to fight Xiahou Dun would definitely be a head-on confrontation. Lu Yi really couldn't afford to waste money now.

So, I had to do it myself.

As for internal affairs, Lu Bu knew nothing about it, and could barely read a few words.

You let him take care of it? Absolutely, you are completely cheated and have to count money for others!

Of course, the premise is that you encounter a scam.

As for Chen Gong, an honest man like Zhuge Jin will not trick Lu Bu. He will honestly give Lu Bu advice, and then tell Lu Bu that if Lu Bu is happy, just agree. If Lu Bu is unhappy, just wait.

Although Lu Yi can completely let Chen Gong and Zhuge Jin do it, it is not good.

On the contrary, if they also offer some ideas for them, they will think that they are all-round capable people and qualified masters, so that they will do things for themselves wholeheartedly.

Having said so much, Lu Yi just wanted to say, if you say too much, you will cry!

"I don't know what's going on in Danyang County?"

By the way, Xu Huang and the others went to Danyang, and I don't know if they beat Danyang.

There has been no news for half a month.

"By the way, isn't Huang Yueying, this little girl, going to build a catapult for herself, and give herself a surprise? I don't know if she succeeded?"

At this time, Lu Yi remembered Huang Yueying's promise to him.

Then, she walked towards Huang Yueying's studio with a smile on her face.
