Abandoned

"There are more and more refugees. Why don't we just accept strong men like other forces? There are so many old and weak women and children. No matter how much food we have, we can't consume so much." Dugu Cheng asked, knowing that Dugu's family in Jiucheng accepts refugees , regardless of the old and weak, women and children, there are almost no more places in the city to resettle.

"If you want to win the world, you must win the hearts of the people. The reputation of the Dugu family's benevolence and righteousness will spread throughout the world, and then the world will return." Xiao Jiuzheng said to Dugucheng.

"That's right. Although we have had sufficient food in the past five years, the number of refugees is increasing. It really cannot withstand such a waste of time. Moreover, we must ensure the army's food and grass, and we have to make some restrictions. Okay." Dugu Jin felt that Xiao Jiuzheng's idea was correct, but he still had to make some restrictions on the refugees, and all kinds of refugees were mixed in, so it might be difficult to manage.

"There are so many strong men, most of them are old and young. We even take in their relatives. Only then can they be loyal to us, go to the battlefield, have no scruples, not afraid of death, and become a capable army. One household is better controlled. It doesn’t matter how many refugees are allowed to come in. The premise is to control and arrange the refugees well. From the day the refugees came in, I have been thinking about how to resettle them. This is my current idea. When every refugee comes in, he will be numbered, set up a grass shed, and resettled. The city can't accommodate so many people, so the city will be expanded again, and the nine cities will be expanded according to the scale of the capital. At this time, the expansion of the city does not need any A strong man is built by these old and weak women and children who have been absorbed. That is to say, food is distributed according to work points. Even if a five-year-old child can move a brick, there are work points. The work points can be exchanged for food. At that time, it will definitely be expanded on a large scale. At that time, the inner city will be the inner city, and the outer city will be the outer city. After the nine cities are as large as the capital, they will accommodate so many people After that, if you don't need to absorb refugees, what do you think about father and Chia Ya?" Xiao Jiuzheng asked Dugu Jin and Chia Ya.

"The capital has a population of one million. Nine capitals are as big as ten million. Wouldn't that mean that one-fifth of the world's population is gathered here? How can we have so much food to support 900 million people? In fact Ninety percent have no intention of stopping the admission of refugees at all, but the method of resettlement of refugees is excellent. Settle the refugees first. In short, reserve the food and salaries for the army first. For the rest of the food, how many refugees can you resettle? Let's do it." Dugu Jin said, he was afraid that Xiao Jiuzheng would be a woman at this juncture.

"Father, I believe [-]%." Chia Ya still trusts Xiao Jiuzheng's ability.

Xiao Jiuzheng looked at Chia Ya and smiled slightly. Chia Ya has recently become more and more aware of her husband's singing and her wife's will. Basically, Chia Ya will follow what she proposes. It feels so good to be trusted by Chia Ya unconditionally.

"I've already reserved food for the army, so don't worry, father." Xiao Jiuzheng said to Dugu Jin.

"Ninety percent of the work, father can rest assured that the issue of refugees is up to you to decide.

"Father, so many forces have raised their troops, why are we still standing still?" Dugucheng already wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy immediately, and so on, he was impatient for waiting.

"What are you in a hurry for? There will be some battles for you in the future, and you are the most impatient kid. You don't need any brains." Dugu Jin patted Dugu Cheng on the head as he spoke.

"Isn't there a father, a sister and Jiucheng?" Dugu Cheng touched his head that hurt from Dugu Jin's pat and said.

"Dead wood can't be carved." Dugu Jin looked at his only son and shook his head. Fortunately, the Dugu family has [-]% of them. Otherwise, relying on Dugu's sincerity, the Dugu family must perish.

Dugucheng was disliked by his father, so he wanted to go to the battlefield to prove his worth, but he had to wait. Thinking of this, Dugucheng sighed.

"Jiucheng, when can we go to war?" Dugucheng asked Xiao Jiuzheng after Dugu Jin left the hall.

"I can't guess that within three months, there will be a war. Please don't worry." Xiao Jiuzheng replied with certainty.

When Dugucheng heard it, he was happy, as long as he had a certain time, he was most afraid of waiting indefinitely.

"Are you sure?" Dugu Cheng asked, the wars in other places had been going on for two or three months, but the Dugu family still stayed put.

"Well, sure." Xiao Jiuzheng said, it was about time for the Dugu family to rise.

"That's good. I'll hurry to the training ground now, and then I will definitely become the most powerful general under my father's command." After Dugu Cheng finished speaking, he happily went to the training ground. He couldn't wait.

Chia Ya has also been looking at Xiao Jiuzheng, Xiao Jiuzheng in this life seems to be more powerful than Xiao Jiuzheng in the previous life.

"Why do you keep looking at me?" Xiao Jiuzheng asked with a smile.

"I just want to know, [-]% of the nine cities are as big as the capital, and they have to accommodate tens of millions of people, and how can we support so many people?" Chia Ya asked with a smile.

——Replenish the dividing line——

"I just put forward this idea. When you reminded me, I have to revise the plan. After all, it seems a bit wasteful to build nine big cities in such a small place. Let's build three cities first. After our territory expands, we can go one step further." Let's repair the nine cities." Xiao Jiuzheng was asked by Qian Ya, and suddenly thought that it would not be difficult to repair the nine cities, but it would be a waste in the long run to build the nine cities in such a small place.

"Whether it's three cities or nine cities, it's very difficult. Could it be that Jiuzheng has the ability to reach the sky?" Although Chia Ya said that she trusts Xiao Jiuzheng's ability, it is really not easy to accommodate so many refugees, so she is very happy Curious what Xiao Jiuzheng can do.You must know that the nine cities of their Dugu family had only about 100 million people five years ago, because in the past few years under Xiao Jiuzheng's governance, the population of the nine cities has doubled, and there are only more than 200 million people. It is very difficult to have more refugees than the current people.

"It's true that we can't support tens of millions of refugees, but more than two to three million refugees should not be a problem. Qianya must not know how many granaries we have secretly built and how much food we have secretly stored. Tomorrow, I will take Qianya to the granary for a walk. "Xiao Jiuzheng said with a smile.

"Okay, tomorrow I will follow Jiucheng to patrol the city." Chia Ya nodded and said.

The next day, Qian Ya and Xiao Jiuzheng went to tour the city together. The first stop of the city tour was one of the nine granaries built by Dugu.

It was only then that Chia Ya discovered that Xiao Jiuzheng had set up granaries underground, that is, grain cellars. Chia Ya was amazed by the countless grain cellars.

"This is the largest granary. A granary is more than ten miles around. There are thousands of cellars. Each cellar can hold [-] shi of grain. I ordered people to build underground granaries in nine cities. Even the smallest granary has this granary. Half, not including the food stored on the ground." Xiao Jiuzheng said to Chia.

"How many people can this granary support?" Chia Ya has never seen so much grain. It is really shocking. Xiao Jiuzheng secretly built so many granaries and stored so much grain. How much financial resources and powerlessness will be spent, and it can't be alarmed. In the imperial court, Xiao Jiuzheng is indeed very powerful.

"There is no problem with the grain consumption of 100 million people a year." Jiucheng replied that it is no problem to feed all the granaries together to feed 500 million people. Now when there is a famine, reduce the daily grain consumption of each person , so that more people can survive, not to mention that she also raised a group of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered in the backyard of Jiucheng.In the past five years, her greatest contribution has been saving so much grain.

"Xiao Jiuzheng, how did you do it?" Chia Ya asked in amazement.

"This will involve a lot of problems. In the past few years, the people in Nine Cities have only been allowed to pay taxes with grain, and those who come to do business from all over the place must also pay taxes with grain. And in the past few years, under the circumstances that I deliberately knew , the price of grain in Dugu Jiucheng is [-]% higher than that of other places. Whether it is a businessman or a citizen, they will buy grain from other places when they see a profit. There are a lot of people who want to earn this price difference, just like ants carrying things, in just four years, they have almost exhausted the surplus food in the world." There is no need to send people to collect the food, and someone will deliver it to the door.

"What about the money for buying grain?" Chia Ya asked, grain was more expensive than others, and so much grain had to be bought, how much did Xiao Jiuzheng get so much money for?

"After I promoted business in Dugu Nine City, the tax was increased by three times, and the people were encouraged to reclaim wasteland, and the land tax was also increased by more than half. In addition, with the existing foundation, it can be regarded as a small savings, but to buy so much food, Obviously not enough, so I sent people to the southeast coast to transport the silk, ceramics, tea, etc. from the Central Plains to overseas Persia and other places, and then transport them back from overseas to deal in jewelry, spices, ivory, etc. Although it is very risky for people who go to sea, But the profit is extremely considerable." Xiao Jiuzheng said to Chia Ya without reservation.

"I can't tell that Jiucheng has the talent to do business." Chia Ya said with a smile.

"I have a lot of strengths, for example, I can make Chia Ya enjoy herself on the bed." Xiao Jiuzheng looked at Chia Ya and said with a somewhat unscrupulous smile. She felt that it was thanks to the Dugu family for giving her enough power and freedom. Only in this way can he bring out his talents to the fullest. In the past few years in Dugu's house, life is as smooth as a fish in water. The only fly in the ointment is the frequent separation from Chia Ya.But compared to these things, the thing that makes her most proud is that Chia Ya, who is practicing martial arts, is no longer so dominant on the bed, and her bed skills are getting better and better, making Chia easily melt into her between the tongue.

Chia Ya's face was reddish, when Xiao Jiuzheng was not serious, it was really hard for her to resist, especially before she came to the granary in the morning, she was tossed by Xiao Jiuzheng a lot.Xiao Jiuzheng often inserted indecent topics when he was talking to her about the most serious things, which really made Chia hard to guard against.

"Xiao Jiuzheng!" Chia Ya warned Xiao Jiuzheng in a low voice.

"I'm an old husband and wife, yet Chia Ya is still so shy." Xiao Jiuzheng smiled even hotter.

"Everyone is like you, no one is serious." Chia Ya said with a cold snort.

"This is wronged, what I do is the most serious thing in the world." Xiao Jiuzheng retorted.
