Chapter 207
Stayed in Xujiazhuang for one night, and Gongsun Hao left the next day.

When he came, he brought dozens of carts of grain and salt, and when he left, he took away [-] pieces of linen clothes, some pottery, and dozens of boxes of needles. It can be said that these three stocks were all cleaned up by the Xu family.

These basic living supplies are very popular in the slightly backward border of western Liaoning. He plans to go there and clean up the goods soon.

In addition, he also carried a sailboat blueprint and a compass in his arms.

When Gongsun Hao left, Xu Yue was sitting in a row in the school cafeteria with her father, Xu Da, and her cousin Gongsun An, who has now become the young master of Gongsun Wubao, eating lunch for the students.

To say that the best place to eat in Ubud, apart from the newly opened restaurants in the market, is the school cafeteria.

Now that the basic literacy has been completed, both the adult class and the children's class only have half a day of class, and the second half of the day works in Zhuangzi to earn work points.

It seems that the work on the village will never be finished, and it is never too short-handed. Everyone is busy every day, full and satisfied.

Xu Yue ate the bean sprout soup in the pottery bowl, looked out of the window at Gongsun Hao's motorcade slowly leaving along the road, and was thinking about the news he said before he left.

Bingzhou, which has always had little rain, had several heavy rains in succession not long ago, and the mountain torrents washed down the farms, and it is unknown how many people died here.

Now that the imperial court is unable to fight the disaster, Cao De ordered on behalf of the emperor, Jizhou and Youzhou, two places adjacent to Bingzhou, to prepare food and send it to Bingzhou.

However, the distance is so long that sending a catty of grain costs [-] catties. Now the two states are only superficially agreeing, and they don't actually want to do this thankless thing.

But if they don't do it, Cao De can use this to "disobey the emperor's order" and put little shoes on the two families.

It can be seen that the Cao family's offensive to the north has already begun, and when the time is right, they will send their troops to the north.

But Yuan Zhao saw that there were Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yu in Youzhou, and now that these two deadly enemies wanted to reconcile, he planned to use his network to take Bingzhou down.

Previously, before the mountain torrents happened, two counties in Bingzhou responded to Yuan Zhao's call and defeated the Southern Huns located in the west of Bingzhou.

Seeing that Bingzhou's handover seemed to be a certainty, unexpectedly, a big mountain torrent broke out due to God's lack of support.

Now the little brothers over there are all clamoring for food, people and money, otherwise let alone helping the elder brother with work, they are not sure whether they can survive.

Originally, Yuan Zhao's strong family background could afford this pacification fee.

However, last year's defeat in the battle demanded a huge amount of compensation from Gongsun Zan, which literally emptied most of Big Brother's treasury.

Now most of the time, he still has to save it to deal with Cao De, so how can he spare no effort to take care of the little brothers who are waiting to be fed?

The current Bingzhou has to face the cruel test of natural disasters, but also has to find a way to prevent the Southern Huns who had just been beaten away from backstabbing him. What a bitter word.

The students in the cafeteria all went back to work after eating. There was no one around. Xu Daye talked to Gongsun An about the current situation in the world while eating, trying to let this honest man who had just entered the political center of Yuyang County know that everyone What is the main purpose now.

"Although this place in Bingzhou is notoriously cold in the thirteen prefectures of Daqing, it is a place that the aristocratic families don't like, but the people here are tough and very martial. The well-known General Guan under Cao De's account, Dong Xing's adoptive son Lu Bu, who has been jumping around repeatedly, both of them went out to Bingzhou."

"So, it is still somewhat useful. Our general now only has three counties, and there is Zhao Yu in the top. Don't even think about taking Youzhou for the time being, but Bingzhou is still very hopeful."

Xu Da finished the soup in the bowl in one gulp, put the bowl down with a snap, and turned to look at his cousin, "Do you understand?"

Gongsun An nodded and said seriously: "This Bingzhou is the same as our Youzhou. It is a place of bitter cold. Only people who come out of our bitter cold place can survive in the same bitter cold place as Bingzhou."

"Hiss~" Xu Da took a deep breath, his cousin seemed to be getting smarter!

Although I still can't understand his full meaning, the answer is almost the same.

No one can take the land of Bingzhou except Gongsun Zan!
Xu Dao: "The compensation we got from Yuan Zhaona last year, after deducting our losses, has a small surplus. The general plans to use this money to buy food from the gentry and take it to Bingzhou for disaster relief."

"So in the middle of the month, I'm afraid I'm going to go to Bingzhou in person. Cousin, you have to take care of the things in the Yuyang County Yamen."

Gongsun An was taken aback, he didn't expect that he would take over such an important job just after he was promoted.

Gongsun An, who had been dawdling all the time, panicked a little, "Cousin, you, this little brother is stupid, I'm afraid I can't be in charge!"

Xu Daxin said that you also know that you are stupid, but this can be regarded as having self-knowledge, self-knowledge is good, it is much better than not being able to recognize your own ability to mess around.

Xu Da comforted: "Don't worry, brother, I have already entrusted Mr. Su Ci, the county guard, to Mr. Su. If there is anything you are unsure about, just discuss it with Su Ci."

"It's very simple. You don't need to make decisions. You just need to keep an eye on Gongsun Yuan and don't let him make a sound. I will explain to the general before I leave, and I can manage it for a month."

Xu Da coaxed: "You will follow me these few days, watch me deal with things, and get acquainted with me. After I leave, if you think Su Ci is unreliable, you will come to your cousin."

Xu Da felt that his heart was really broken, but fortunately, Gongsun An was obedient and took down everything he said in a serious manner.

As long as you follow what he said, it will only take a month or so, and nothing major will happen.

Xu Yue thought about the food that had just been piled up in the warehouse at home, and immediately put down the bowl: "Father, cousin, I'm done eating, you guys eat slowly!"

Turning around, he ran towards the market, and found Mrs. Wang who was discussing the purchase of raw materials with Gongsun Yan, Gongsun Yu and others in the cloth village.

Seeing that Auntie was still busy, Xu Yue obediently stood by the door frame and waited. When the adults finished their work, Mrs. Wang walked towards her, and then said excitedly:

"Aniang, let's go to Bingzhou to collect some people back!"

The village is short of manpower, but it is still busy now. After all, the plate is small, so many people are almost enough.

But thinking about the future development, the manpower vacancies are huge.

What's more, it's time for Lu Meng's eighty riders to expand.

In troubled times, only force value is the basis of survival. How can you satisfy Wang's appetite with only [-] riders?
However, she doesn't like these sergeants now, and even if someone wants to give it to her, she doesn't want it.
