But he didn't want Yun Jiang to stay at Zuo Cao Shi's house for three full days, until the first group of children from the family who came to the banquet had arrived at the gate of Huangxian County, and then he was able to leave.

The old lady had obviously seen the world, at least she was from a good background.

Seeing Yun Jiang, he didn't ask a single word, but kept saying hello.Even when they saw Wang Wu dressed in men's clothing, and the tall, burly and mighty cavalry behind them, they were only slightly taken aback, and then very politely and thoughtfully greeted them to enter the house together, and ordered them to serve tea and set up a table.

Wang Wu could see clearly that this grey-haired but energetic old man had a straight back, except for the first moment of surprise, there was no panic in front of those soldiers with knives and fierce aura.It was as poised as if they were the next-door neighbors who came to visit.

However, the old lady kept her word on how Kong Rong took care of her family when she was in office, and she looked at Yun Jiang like she was looking at her own daughter-in-law.

Yun Jiang couldn't help but feel embarrassed, the relationship between her and Zou Cao Shi was all her wishful thinking, even her father Kong Rong didn't know about it.The so-called caring is just that Kong Rong cherished his talent when he heard about the incident of Cao Shi's crime against the Zhou family.

She glanced at Wang Wu quickly, and dealt with it indiscriminately with a blushing face.

Wang Wu secretly laughed, stepped forward to salute the old lady gracefully, put her arms around Yun Jiang's shoulders, and said in a warm and affectionate voice: "Yun Jiang, please chat with the old lady slowly, I will take someone to stand in the courtyard, So as not to disturb your interest."

Wang Wu's stature has already begun to rise, she is short and brown, and her cloak reaches her shoulders.As a human being in two lifetimes, she has been in the position of talking about things, she has seen the blood-stained battlefield, and she is used to handling the affairs of a state in the past few months. Lose man.

Even though the old lady wanted Yun Jiang to be her daughter-in-law, since she had no intention of playing Cao Shi, even if she compromised out of filial piety in the future, it would not be a good thing for Yun Jiang.It's better for her to take advantage of her men's attire now to stop the old lady's thoughts. Everyone knows this matter well, and it won't be Yun Jiang who will be embarrassing in the future.

When Wang Wu leaned over, Yun Jiang understood her intentions.A bit of bitterness inevitably rose in my heart, but I forced a smile on my face, and nodded gratefully to Wang Wu.

Since ancient times, men and women have not been on a blind date, and the behavior of men taking the initiative to hug their shoulders and hook their backs is already very light, not to mention that Yun Jiang does not dodge or dodge.The old woman's eyes darkened slightly, and then she saw Wang Wu patted the back of Yun Jiang's hand familiarly, and then she turned around and walked out, her eyes became a little more clear, and the sigh that she blurted out was full of words. It's a pity and annoyance that can't be said.

For the rest, Wang Wu felt that it was still up to Yun Jiang to decide what to say.

Walking leisurely into the yard, two or three ancient trees are thick and strong, and the fresh green leaves that have been pulled out are reflected with the delicate yellow stamens on the prostrate ground. The yellow and green are alternate, and the color is bright as if soaked in water.Standing under the tree, Wang Wu took a slow breath, filled with the humid air unique to the seaside town.

Such a small yard, such air, green leaves and yellow flowers, the sky is like washing.This kind of scenery is exactly the mountain scenery she likes to see the most after backpacking and sweating all over.

I don't know what it will look like after a thousand years?

Wang Wu unconsciously caressed the twigs hanging from the ancient tree, and suddenly became dazed.

Suddenly, the twigs, together with the not-so-thick leaves above the head, trembled slightly.Wang Wu suddenly woke up, and for some reason, blurted out: "Zilong?"

However, as soon as the words were out of her mouth, she remembered that Zhao Yun was using the excuse of hosting a banquet to collect wine, and led people all over the city to search Cao Jun's whereabouts. How could he come here with her?

Thinking of this, Wang Wu took a few steps back again and again.Several soldiers who had been guarding not far away quickly withdrew their weapons and surrounded them.

"Slow down!"

A human head covered in grass clippings suddenly appeared on top of the earthen wall covered by ancient trees.Jade face and thin lips, thin and handsome, a pair of soft eyes are as bright as the sun, but the body is as burly as the trunk of an old tree.

"Zhang Yan!" Wang Wu was taken aback, "Why did you come to Huang County? Where's Pingyuan County? Where's Ju County?"

"Hush!" Zhang Yan waved at her nervously, asking her to keep silent.While lying on top of the wall like a thief, he looked around for a while, and after confirming that there was no one else except these few people in the yard, he scrambled from the wall, climbed over the ancient wood and climbed in.

The soldiers all knew Zhang Yan, but they were dumbfounded by his obviously embarrassed and leisurely movements. For a moment, they even forgot to put down the weapons they were holding in their hands.From the outside, it looked like Zhang Yan jumped into their encirclement to be slaughtered.

"Get out of the way..." Zhang Yan shook the corner of her clothes, waved her hand to signal them to back away, and showed a smug smile in front of Wang Wu: "It will take a few days for someone to take down Pingyuan County." What! Mr. Chen heard that you found Kong Rong's son, and asked me to bring you a message."

"Want you to pass a message?" Wang Wu subconsciously emphasized the word "you".

Because Zhao Yun wanted to go to Donglai without telling Wang Wu before, he was detained by Chen Kuang's side for fear that Fan Chengxiang would report again like they did when they came to Qingzhou.

What kind of message can't be delivered by Fan Cheng, but Zhang Yan, the leader of Montenegro, should put down the entire Qingzhou to face Cao Jun's city defenses and come in person?The surprise in Wang Wu's heart was so indescribable that even the news of Pingyuan County was skipped by her.

Zhang Yan's expression was a little unnatural, and he glanced quietly towards the small house behind the yard, then glared at Wang Wu: "What's wrong? Can't a certain one deliver a message?"

Wang Wu keenly saw his erratic eyes, and couldn't help but move slightly: "Are you here to look for Yun Jiang?"

Being exposed by Wang Wu's words, Zhang Yan's face was embarrassing, scratched her head, and sighed again, with a very embarrassed expression: "I have something important to tell her."

Wang Wu raised her eyebrows. Although Yun Jiang's kung fu was not as good as Zhang Yan's, except for being sent to Youzhou as a gift for the first time, she seemed to have never suffered any disadvantages.Even at the gate of Juxian City, Zhang Yan clearly had the upper hand and brought someone with him, but he still rushed to find Wang Wu to persuade him to fight.

In fact, Zhang Yan only needs to show off his face to accompany the crime. With Yun Jiang's temperament, can he really cut him with a sword?

Wang Wu smiled slightly, afraid that if she continued to ask, Zhang Yan would turn into anger from embarrassment.

"What's Mr. Chen's idea this time?"

Seeing that Wang Wu finally changed the subject, Zhang Yan's face relaxed, and with a posture that didn't match his appearance, he reached out and patted his forehead rudely: "Mr. Chen said that the chaos in Qingzhou is not enough to refuse." Cao, and if the family is in chaos, then Qingzhou will be at peace."

He spoke very slowly, almost muttering word by word, his delicate facial features were twisted together, obviously he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

Clan chaos?

Wang Wu frowned, did Chen Kuang mean that she wanted her to take advantage of this banquet to cause a rift among the rich and powerful families who came to the banquet, and to pinch each other?At that time, most of these aristocratic families have lived in Qingzhou for generations, and they must have a clear understanding of each other's weight. If they want to be separated, they may have to scramble to make friends with Zhao Yun to strengthen their momentum.

This is to ask her to plot against each other!Wang Wu couldn't help but smiled wryly and supported her forehead.

She was still worried at first, as Kong Rong was the Prime Minister of Beihai, his son would inevitably meet one or two family members, if he met acquaintances at a banquet, how would Yun Jiang get away with it?

But I don't want Chen Kuang to make such a problem for her again!

Wang Wu frowned and thought for a long time, finally with a wave of her hand, the banquet was still full of wine.It doesn't matter if you make a slip of the tongue after drinking, or get drunk after drinking, let's get this group of people down first!The big deal is to find a few people to take advantage of those gentry children who are almost drunk, get a set of sacks, beat them severely, and then plant them on others!She couldn't believe that it couldn't be messed up like this!

And the wine in this era is all brewed from coarse rice.If there is too much wine, it will naturally consume a lot of rice.Wang Wu has been in charge of state affairs since Juxian County, and he knows that there are many disasters in troubled times, and the population is highly mobile. Nine out of ten good farmlands are almost abandoned, and it is not easy to store rice in warehouses.

Just the rice and grain consumed by the Zheng family's banquet before was enough to feed how many homeless and hungry people!

She gave up making big arrangements before, not only because of her low-key plan to keep Yun Jiang away from everyone's eyes, but also because of this.

What's more, even if there is rice, it takes time to make wine. Huang County is located in a remote area, and there are few people near the sea. How can there be so much wine in a short time?

As the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes.Wang Wu hurried back to the county government immediately, and sent people flying horses to chase after the cavalry who were going to various houses in Qingzhou to deliver letters.

As for Zhang Yan, since he said he had something to tell Yun Jiang, and Wang Wu was short of manpower, let him replace those escorts and stay here.

Therefore, all those who were about to set off, or who were already walking on the road leading to Huang County, heard the words that came from Wang Wu's mouth, but pretended to be Zhao Yun's meaning.

"Huang county has little capital and wine, not enough for a table, please bring your own drinks, so that you can return home with a lot of fun!"

Wang Wu expected how wonderful the expressions of those high-spirited family members would be when they heard this sentence, and how much contempt and pride they would look at them afterwards.

However, in front of the real rice in the treasury, this kind of face-saving is really like floating clouds.

***

But she didn't expect that this floating cloud would go so fast!

In the second year, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong, and there was no harvest.The price of grain soared, and one dendrobium cost 50 yuan.

Wang Wu didn't know if those Qingzhou aristocratic clans who begged to drink all night because of their face for a while were beating their chests and regretting their rice grains that turned into running water years ago. Internal trouble" finally subsided.

In the years when the refugees were scattered, no matter how many good fields there were, they were left barren because no one cultivated them.After Zhao Yun heard the news, he made a decisive decision, split up several routes with Zhang Yanbing, and immediately ordered the prefectures and counties in Qingzhou to send more troops, withdraw half of the scouts outside the city, open only half of the city gates, and increase the cavalry patrolling the city by [-]%, so as to prevent refugees from swarming into the city. There is chaos.

And even if they opened the gates of the city to accommodate the refugees, and allowed the refugees to farm with peace of mind, they still couldn't make these wastelands productive in a short while.If this kind of natural disaster with no crops is encountered again during this period... not to mention whether Qingzhou can settle down in a short period of time, it can't even eat enough, the people's hearts will rebel, and another Yellow Turban Uprising will only happen overnight!

Fortunately, Wang Wu had considered this point as early as the first day when he opened the warehouse door in Ju County, Qingzhou.She focused her calculations on the unique innate advantages of this coastal place—opening up fishing and being self-sufficient.

Qingzhou has its own fishermen who specialize in fishing, but the court is chaotic, the yellow scarves are rampant, and nothing can be done safely.

Wang Wu and Yun Jiang also ran back and forth between the prefectures and counties, using the name of Kong Rong to urge the gentry to provide food for the people, and at the same time settle down the original people in Qingzhou, leaving wasteland for the refugees to cultivate.The state capital takes [-]%, [-]% is replaced by fishery crops, and farmers keep [-]% for themselves.

In this way, it is equivalent to taking half of the agricultural products, and then using the remaining [-]% of the harvest, including fish and shrimp and other seafood, to support the residents of Qingzhou.Although a little nervous, Qingzhou has Zhao Yun's cavalry guarding the land, and Gongsun Zan's Youzhou is behind it. For these refugees, it is better than being in exile.

What's more, if these refugees have no place to settle down, all kinds of people who will fight at any time will be pulled into the battlefield as soldiers. At that time, it is very likely that father and son brothers, brothers and sisters, will be in the hostile camp, knowing or not knowing They had no choice but to slash and kill each other under the long sword of the supervisory battalion.

In this era when population is the primary productive force, the situation can only be stabilized if someone is willing to farm the land.Fifty percent of the food is equivalent to a ratio of one to one to support the soldiers. Even if it will be stretched at the beginning, as the population of Qingzhou increases, the number of troops they can support will definitely increase accordingly!

Wang Wu was originally just talking on paper. Most of these ideas are based on the extra 1000 years of vision, whether it is operable and how to operate it. There are many clues and complex.

Fortunately, even though Yun Jiang was a daughter, she lived in Kong Rong's county mansion, and she was more familiar with government decrees, farming seasons, and grain distribution than Wang Wu.

Things are urgent, the two women are running around, and Chen Kuang is in Ju County to make suggestions. Although there is a small probability of mobs rushing to the city gates or forcing food on the streets from time to time, under the timely deployment of troops by Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan Under the double pressure of force and fame, they finally settled down wave after wave of refugees without any risk.

Natural disasters cut off food, countless people died of hunger, and epidemics frequently occurred, so it is most forbidden to use soldiers.This year, it was supposed to take a break from fighting, and the families stopped fighting to recuperate.

And just when Wang Wu and Zhao Yun took a break from their busy schedule and gathered on the seashore of Huang County with energetic fishermen to load a boat full of fish into a row of bamboo baskets on the shore, they rode fast horses to report.

Cao Cao personally raised [-] troops to attack Xuzhou!
