In the villa, Qin Sheng, Xue Xu, Wu Ren, Liu Erxi, Ji Wuyin and others were also discussing important matters.

As soon as Ji Wuyin came, he mentioned that Gu Huaisheng wanted to buy a foot threshing machine.

Xue Xu and the others looked at each other, and understood that Gu Huaisheng was a drunkard who was not interested in drinking. They nodded to show that they understood, and then they began to discuss the matter of food transportation.

Wu Ren was the first to say, "As soon as the gates of the Southern Lands are opened, we will gather our people and transport the food out at night as we did last time."

Xue Xu said, "We only have one chance to get the food out."

Both parties are very clear that Xie Zhan will not give them another chance in the future.

"But you still have two large warehouses of grain, totaling 20 shi, and you can't transport that much at one time." Ji Wuyin pointed out their problems realistically.

As soon as these words came out, the three people in Liaodong County frowned. It felt too bad that the fruits of victory could not be transported.

Xue Xu said disgustedly, "Can't you recruit more ships? If the Cao Gang needs to use them, other small merchant ships can also be hired."

Ji Wuyin choked, and immediately replied with a stiff neck, "Is that because I didn't work hard? Didn't I see how much food you have to transport at one time?" He was more worried about their batch of food than his own goods!

Qin Sheng thought for a while and said, "If it doesn't work, if you can't transport it, just distribute it to the victims." He went to see the victims who were blocked outside the city gate, and it was really miserable.

Wu Ren was shocked, "No way!"

Xue Xu also said, "You can't join the enemy!"

Qin Sheng asked, "Otherwise, what should I do? Is there a chance to save it and transport it away later?"

There will be no chance in the future. As time goes by, Xie Zhan's control over the Southland will definitely become stronger and stronger.

Xue Xu thought for a while, and felt that Qin Sheng's proposal was also a solution, "This food can be distributed to the victims, but it cannot be distributed in this way, and it cannot be distributed in the south."

Distributed in the south, it is helping Xie Zhan, which is equivalent to supporting the enemy.

Wu Ren suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Qin Liuye, Mr. Xue, can we do this? Let's hire a group of people to escort [-] shi of grain to the north."

The more they thought about it, the better it seemed.

"We can hire escort agencies in the Southland area, and we can choose some good hires from the refugees outside the city."

"This food will be eaten all the way."

"Even if you eat up one hundred thousand shi of grain this way, it's still worth it."

Ji Wuyin saw that their thoughts were getting wider and wider, so he couldn't help but smacked his lips, seeing that the eyes of the three of them were all wrong, "You want to be scholars, and now you don't even let good people go? Your kung fu of pulling wool has reached perfection. .”

Wu Ren laughed and said, "Uncle Ji, what you said is wrong. We are not allowed to hire people? Besides, there are so many refugees outside the city, and the government has never seen them resettled. We are giving them a way of life."

At this moment, the subordinates first came to report the fact that the government posted a list outside the city gate to recruit the victims for work in exchange for food rations, and recruited scholars to assist the government to do some work of registering and reassuring the people.

Ji Wuyin just laughed, "It seems that the Nandi government is going to rob people from you."

Xue Xu was not worried, "It's okay, I believe there will still be many people willing to accept our employment." There are so many disaster victims outside the city.

Then, that subordinate also reported the speech that old master Lu had given at Nandi Restaurant.

Xue Xu commented objectively, "Lu's slashing and hitting move is very powerful, and the effect is also very obvious."

Ji Wuyin sighed, "Xie Zhan is worthy of being Xie Zhan. Now, half of the originally interested scholars will stay."

Not only did Xie Zhan send people to monitor them, they also sent people to monitor Xie Zhan.Mr. Lu's speech happened after Xie Zhan's visit. It was clear at a glance whose idea this speech was.If the Lu family had this kind of brains, they would have already made this speech when Mr. Lu came back.

Xue Xu: "It doesn't matter, Xie Zhan's doing this is a kind of screening for us."

Xue Xu thought to himself that the lord and Lu Zhan would meet each other sooner or later, that is to say, there must be a fierce battle between the north and the south.

After all, with Xie Zhan's ability, it will be a matter of time before the Southern land threatens the Xie clan.

At that time, the lord and Xie Zhan will each occupy the north and the south, and no one will obey the other.

"What are you going to do next?" Ji Wuyin asked.

Xue Huo looked at Qin Sheng and Wu Ren and said, "Let's split up."

Qin Sheng was the first to say, "I'll hire someone outside the city."

Xue Xu nodded, "The face is changed, try not to be recognized by others."

"rest assured."

Wu Ren: "Then let me deal with the scholar's problem."

Isn't it just a public opinion war? His master and master are both experts in this field, and he is not bad under the influence of his ears and eyes.

"Mr. Lu's speech is not easy to resolve."

"Can we start from this aspect..."

They quickly negotiated a set of rhetoric.

Xue Xu finally said, "Then Erxi and I will meet Young Master Gu together."

Ji Wuyin: They really split up.

On Wu Ren's side, the opportunity to perform soon came.

Two scholars came to him, "Master Wu, originally we had decided to go to Liaodong County with your convoy, but now we're afraid we can't. We want to stay in the Southland and help our folks."

"No need to say sorry, your ideas are very good, and I can understand your choice."

Scholars are still thin-skinned, and they were relieved to hear what Wu Ren said.

"But I personally think that if you stay in the Southland, do you add to the burden on the Southland?"

Um?The two scholars were dumbfounded.

"I'm a straightforward person. If you say something unpleasant, don't take it to your heart."

"No, no, shopkeeper Wu, just tell me if you have it."

"I understand your desire to serve the country and the people. Scholars always want to do something for the common people."

"But you are still young, and I feel that taking responsibility too early is nothing but spoiling the growth for you, which is not good for you."

"As the saying goes, if you learn literary and martial arts, you can be as good as the emperor's family. Only when you learn the skills well can you take on greater responsibilities."

"If you stay in Southland now, you may be able to help a few people or some people, but if you have great skills, you can help people in a city, a county, or even a state."

"It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. And if you stay in the South, you can't help the people in the South, can you? It's better to go out and learn more skills, which will be of great use."

"Business Manager Wu, you are so knowledgeable."

Wu Ren smiled. He has been studying too. He has read most of the books printed in Liaodong County.

"In the current situation, it is obvious that the imperial court has insufficient money and food for disaster relief. If you stay in Nandi, you are actually taking up the quota for disaster relief in Nandi. Staying in Nandi is actually a burden for Nandi."

The two scholars were dizzy from being fooled. It seems that this is really the case?
