Chapter 107 Food and Grass

The humane plan is perfect in Ying Yi's eyes, but everything is based on humane energy.

Ying Yi now occupies the three counties of Yuzhou, Wuyang, and Ye County. The population is only more than 110,000, and it is hundreds of miles of desolate land. The people's livelihood is in ruins. He only has 3,000 people.

The primary Humanity Platform requires two thousand Humanity Qi points to be established.

Every humane war flag must also be endowed with at least five hundred humane energy.

In this way, three thousand humane energy points are only enough for Ying Yi to build a primary humane platform and two humane battle flags. Moreover, the Junior Humanity Platform can only be responsible for giving true spiritual feedback to a thousand people.

To improve this data, you can only continue to add more Humanity Qi to the Humanity Platform.

When the number of Humanity Qi involved in the Humanity Platform reaches 10,000, it can be promoted to the Intermediate Humanity Platform, and the number will be ten times that in the future. The high-level Humanity Platform requires the involvement of 100,000 Dao Qi, and so on.

"Farming is imperative..."

Ying Yi took a slight breath.

The seizure of true spiritual numbers was transferred to military conquests, and the expansion of military conquests required money, food, and population to support them, and the increase in money, food, and population required farming.

It's simply here.

"With Yuan Qi's plan in hand, farming is not a problem, it just requires a stable environment." Ying Yi stood up: "The most important thing right now is to deal with the threat of Kaifeng. The intruders should get out."

He said to the door: "Come here, call Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu. I want to see them."

"Yes, sir."

Not long after, Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu arrived hand in hand.

"grown ups!"

The two stood up and beat their chests in salute.

Ying Yi returned the gesture: "Sit down and talk."

After the two people sat down, Ying Yi asked: "How is the training of the three troops?"

Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu looked at each other, and Zhu Bingkun said: "Sir, the three officers and soldiers are either the original old team or good men selected from the prisoners. They all have military experience. After a few days of training, they are already somewhat impressive."

Ying Yi nodded slightly when he heard the words: "Okay."

He said: "Time waits for no one. The war in Nanyang has been going on for five days now. I'm afraid the intruders have got the news. The intruders are powerful. I can't passively respond to the enemy. I must take the initiative."

Upon hearing this, the two of them stood up and shouted: "Please give me your orders."

Ying Yi smiled and said, "You two go down immediately to prepare your troops and horses, and head north that day."

He turned around and pressed his finger hard on a point on a simple map hanging on the wall: "Here."

Zheng and Wu looked at it and said, "Shou Mountain?"

"Yes, Shoushan." Ying Yi smiled and said: "Shoushan is on the bank of Xiangcheng County, and to the south is Ye County. If the intruders send troops to go south, this is the place they must pass through. I want you two to lead three troops of 7,500 A hundred people guard the first mountain and block the shortcut for the intruders to go south."

After hearing this, the two of them took a deep breath: "Please rest assured, sir, the general will live up to your expectations and will definitely keep the thieves out of Nanyang!"

"very good."

Ying Yi waved his hand: "You two will take the people out first, and I will go back to Fangcheng Mountain. During this trip, I will go to Sun Xiucai for supplies. Remember, the sooner the better. Remember to keep up with the Ye Bu Shu Department. Seamless contact. Within three days at most, I will go to Shoushan in person to launch an offensive against the intruders."

"Here!"

After sending away the two generals, Ying Yi went to see Zheng Yunzhi again.

Zheng Yunzhi has been busy these days without touching the ground. The land of the three counties is not big or small. Its people's livelihood is in decline and too much needs to be done.

Whether it is to gather the people, appease the people, or to reclaim wasteland and manage public security, all these are within the scope of Zheng Yunzhi's rights.

But Zheng Yunzhi enjoyed it.

When Ying Yi saw him, he was immersed in a large pile of official documents.

"Father-in-law."

Ying Yi smiled slightly and saluted.

Zheng Yunzhi raised her head, her face was rosy and her spirit was extremely high, and she said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me." Then he lowered his head.

Ying Yi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Father-in-law, don't be busy yet."

He said: "I will go back to Fangcheng Mountain later to say hello to my father-in-law."

Zheng Yunzhi waved her hands without raising her head.

Ying Yi smiled and shook his head and left.

Zheng Yunzhi was busy with official duties and even ignored Ying Yi, but Ying Yi didn't care. In the final analysis, the benefits of everything Zheng Yunzhi did were for Ying Yi. In that case, what else is there to care about? He wished that all the people under his command were like this.

After leaving Zheng Yunzhi's study, Ying Yi hesitated. He wanted to see Zi Niang, but he was afraid that he would not be able to enter the backyard. Zheng Yunzhi had many rules, saying that since Ying Yi and Zi Niang were already engaged, they could not see each other until they got married. Ying Yi hasn't seen Zi Niang for several days.

Although he didn't talk about love, but after the engagement, Zi Niang was his, so naturally he missed her a little.

Suppressing his thoughts, Ying Yi walked out instead of going to the backyard.

Then he bumped into Sun Xiucai.

Sun Xiucai hurriedly said: "Sir, my subordinates are looking for you!"

When Ying Yi heard this, he stretched out his hand and said, "Speak inside."

After entering the house, Ying Yi said, "Is it about food and supplies?"

Sun Xiucai said: "Your Excellency is wise."

Ying Yi laughed: "I just asked Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu to prepare their troops and asked them to find you to prepare food and grass. You came immediately. If it wasn't for food and grass, it was nothing."

Sun Xiucai said cheerfully: "My lord is right."

Then he said seriously: "It is indeed a problem of food and grass. Sir, we originally didn't have much food and grass. In the battle of Nanyang, we also confiscated the food and grass from the bandits and Huguang soldiers, but now we are still stretched."

Ying Yi listened attentively.

Sun Xiucai said: "Your Excellency, the army has been expanded to 11,500 people in five divisions, and the army has enough food and grass. This is a big expense. In addition, gathering the refugees and giving porridge and food are also an expense. The slave labor camp also needs food. How can this be done? There is also a certain amount of consumption in the city and mountains. Now there is not much food left. My subordinates and the officials on the left and right have estimated that the remaining food and grass can support an army of 10,000 for half a month at most. No more will be enough."

After hearing this, Ying Yi knew what he was talking about.

He had actually expected what the scholar said. But lack of food and grass was not a reason to prevent him from sending troops. The problem of bandits in Kaifeng must be solved as soon as possible.

"Then what can you do?" Ying Yi said calmly.

The scholar nodded: "Sir, my subordinates sent people to Nanyang to contact Zheng's Trading Company the day before yesterday. They returned yesterday. People from Zheng's Trading Company will come over in a day or two at most."

Ying Yi laughed: "In that case, just go ahead and do it boldly."

He paused and said, "Food is the first priority. Buy as much as you can. There is no shortage of salt, and the mining of salt mines in Fangcheng Mountain has been on track. However, the demand for iron is not low."

The scholar nodded and said: "My lord, what I said is that my subordinate has something to worry about."

"Just worry about it." Ying Yi said with a smile: "I have something important to go back to Fangcheng Mountain. When the people from Zheng's Trading Company come, you can entertain me. If necessary, you can ask my father-in-law to come forward. Spending money is not a problem. , food and supplies must be purchased as soon as possible."

"Yes, my subordinates know."

Ying Yi said again: "There is one more thing, please help me take care of it immediately."

"Your Majesty's orders."
