The three people present were all exquisitely thoughtful, how could they not understand Jiang Pengji's plan
But in this way, the power in Liu She's hands must be taken away, which means that there is a conflict of interests between father and daughter.
If Liu She is old and old, it is not too much to abdicate and let the sages.
It's just... Liu She is still in his prime. He is willing to give up his military power and become a free and easy rich man
This matter, whether it is Wei Ci or Feng Zhen, they are all clueless.
Guan Qi turned his eyes to Jiang Pengji, and said vaguely, "This matter, the lord still has to discuss with the old man."
Jiang Pengji lowered her eyes and said, "I know, my father will forgive me."
Qi Guanrang waved his fan and said, "If we can cooperate with Cui Clan to find out the situation and deployment of troops in the northern border, we will take advantage of the 'geographical advantage'. By popularizing the method of cultivating farmland, the food shortage will be completely solved within two or three years. The middle chew can be self-sufficient. Several generals have rich combat experience and are very familiar with the way of training soldiers. If things go on like this, they will definitely be able to train a tiger and a wolf. The Sheep's Strategy delays them, and within three or five years, we will have the strength to fight the northern border."
"There is a saying in the military book, the poor of the country is lost by the teacher, and the people are poor." Wei Ci added on the side, "If you deploy troops with the northern Xinjiang, and transport food over long distances, it will inevitably add heavy pressure. The soaring grain prices in the region have affected the local people and their financial resources have been depleted. More importantly, the longer the grain transportation line, the greater the risk. Once the grain line is cut, the soldiers ahead will be in a desperate situation. People settled fields in Chongzhou, greatly reducing the route for transporting grain, so that soldiers have no worries."
If the grain is transported from Hu County or Maruzhou to the front line of Chongzhou, the consumption will be huge, which is unimaginable for ordinary people.
In ancient times, the transportation of grain in wars mainly relied on human and animal power, and the journey was long and time-consuming.
It does not mean that as much food is sent to the front, the front will receive as much food.
The animals that carry the grain need to eat, and the workers who carry the grain need to eat too!
The front line gets one stone of food, and then it is convenient to send out twenty or thirty stones!
In the event of a war, it is best to gather fields on a large scale near the front line, so as to greatly reduce the risk and consumption of grain transportation.
But... If that's the case, Wei Ci couldn't help frowning when he thought of something else.
Jiang Pengji asked him, "What did Zixiao think of?"
Wei Ci's face stiffened and she said with a sigh, "Because of the impact of horse plague, the economy of Northern Xinjiang has been severely damaged, so that the price of food has skyrocketed, and a large number of low-level herdsmen cannot afford food, and their lives are difficult. If we let Northern Xinjiang know that we are on the border of Chongzhou Large-scale farming, then... will inevitably lead to a large number of cavalry looting... Ci has not thought about it carefully, I am afraid that it is not feasible... "
If this is the case, all the food they grow in the fields will be taken away by the northern Xinjiang.
Is this storing rations for oneself or sending food to the enemy
Wei Ci figured this out, and felt ashamed, and leaned over to plead guilty.
Jiang Pengji said, "You're right, where do you need to plead guilty? It's a good way to plant fields on the border of Chongzhou to reduce the consumption of food transportation. If the northern Xinjiang sends cavalry to loot, we don't have to be afraid, just take these directly. People should practice their hands and adapt to the fighting methods in the northern border in advance. However, Zixiao's suggestion needs to be changed. It's okay to collect fields, but they can't be concentrated in one place and set up more than one."
Northern Xinjiang currently has no way to dispatch cavalry on a large scale, and can only loot on a small scale.
They divided the fields into several more places, and the northern cavalry came to loot, and they couldn't loot much at one time.
If the grain is stored in one place, if the enemy sneaks around the back and burns the granary, wouldn't it be cool
The four carefully discussed the details, and Jiang Pengji ended the topic without a word until the dawn was a little drunk.
Three strategists who were forced to stay up all night and work all night: "..."
"...Let's talk about this first. I'll write a letter to my father and explain the reason to him. My father will support me." Jiang Pengji An'an stretched and said to the three of them, "Would you like to stay for a while? Meal, today's breakfast is shiitake mushroom meat buns, it tastes very fragrant."
Feng Zhenlang is used to it, often staying up late, but not tired.
Qi Guan kept his work and rest time stable and focused on maintaining health. However, the lord was inhumane, and he was used to staying up late.
Not to mention Wei Ci, who had not slept all night, he didn't even have bags under his eyes.
"Thank you, my lord."
The three ate breakfast with Jiang Pengji, and went back with the details of the battle in their heads.
Feng Zhen and Wei Ci are both single, and their residences are very close.
When he and Wei Ci went back, while reminiscing about the cooking skills in the county kitchen, they shook their heads, making Wei Ci dizzy.
Wei Ci asked, "Zishi, don't shake your head, Ci is dizzy."
Feng Zhen said, "Shake it to see if there is any water in your brain."
Wei Ci: "..."
Feng Zhen said again, "In those days, I was really blinded by lard, why did I come here by accident? It's not good to rely on which master, but I chose the one that was the most difficult to serve. If it really doesn't work, I just don't want to go to work and be rich at home. Idle people. It's good now, I have money but no land, some beautiful women can't touch, can't drink wine, can't even sleep... Once I get on the pirate ship, I can't get off."
Like last night, the lord dragged them on a whim to discuss it all night, all night!
Does the lord still remember that he was weak and frail
He really used a man as a mule.
Wei Ci said abruptly, "My lord, why are you here?"
Feng Zhen was so frightened that he shivered all over, hugged Wei Ci and hid behind him.
However-
"What about your lord?"
Wei Ci smiled innocently, "Scare you."
Fengzhen: "… "
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ How could he make such a close friend blindly, what a fool!
After reciting the Heart Clearing Mantra several times, Feng Zhen resisted the urge to strangle Wei Ci to death.
Approaching the door, Feng Zhen said quickly, "Zixiao, do you think the old man will really delegate power?"
Jiang Pengji has been in the limelight in recent years, but Liu She has been famous for a long time, and now she is in her prime, is she really willing to delegate power to her daughter
"It's hard to say." Wei Ci lowered his eyelids and sneered coldly, "But the lord's temperament has always been to do it when he knows he can't do it. If the old man is a smart person, he will make the most correct choice. One up and down?"
Although Liu She was different from his previous life, Wei Ci couldn't rest assured about this person.
However, the lord of his family never responded, and he trusted Liu She quite a bit, so Wei Ci couldn't say anything.
The two chatted in a low voice, and a handsome brown youth with a smirk on his face came face to face.
"Two gentlemen, wait a minute!"
Wei Ci and the two stood still, and when they saw it, it was Li Yun with a proud face.
"Two gentlemen, can you give Yunzhi a recruiter?"
Feng Zhen teased him, "What trick?"
"Yun wants to propose to the lord." After Li Yun said, Zheng nodded.
Wei Ci, who was beside him, shuddered, stood stiffly in place, and slowly turned his head to look at him, his eyes like Momo with a coldness.
"Propose marriage?"
