Chapter 149 Recuperation
Zhen Yan returned to the mansion, went straight to the old lady's room, and said with an unbelievable expression: "Mother, you are really sure, Yuan Cheqi sent the child to Jinyang."

The old lady said seriously: "It's all thanks to Chen Lin, if he hadn't strongly advocated this matter, how could he be comprehensive."

Only then did Zhen Yan recall that Chen Lin had always emphasized the shortage of food and grass, the lack of morality, and the excuse that it was not appropriate to send troops.

"Mother, Chen Lin was entrusted by you!"

The old lady nodded and said: "Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, and a hero is hard to beat without money. When Chen Lin first came to Jizhou to seek refuge, he was still in charge of Han Fu. His mother was seriously ill, and it was your father who helped him generously. We have overcome the difficulties, so I personally went to meet him last night and asked him to help lobby for this matter."

"I see!"

Zhen Yan suddenly realized, and asked after thinking: "But why Xu You also helped to facilitate this matter? You know, it was he who made the suggestions at the beginning, which made Yuan Cheqi so cruel, and made my Zhen family break up with Zihu. contacts."

The old lady stood up slowly, and said bluntly: "Yan'er, you are a shrewd businessman, but you don't know much about officialdom disputes. Do you know why Xu You insists on embarrassing my Zhen family?"

Zhen Yan paused for a moment, then said, "Could it be that you are greedy for my Zhen family's property?"

"Not bad!"

The old lady said in a deep voice: "My Zhen family has a great career, and the two of you brothers are working under Yuan Benchu, so you are bound to be suspected and slandered. If you want to be alone, it may be as difficult as climbing the sky. , nothing will happen."

"If I hadn't sent someone to give Xu You [-] gold last night, how could he speak up for you? Yan'er, don't keep staring at Yuan Benchu ​​and think about him, you should keep your eyes on your side. You only have to be with Yuan Benchu." The counselors around him are united in order to protect my Zhen family, do you understand?"

Listening to the old lady's teachings, Zhen Yan greatly benefited from it. It is true that she has always put all her ties on Yuan Shao, thinking that she has taken good care of Yuan Shao, and the Zhen family is safe and sound. The counselor next to him was seriously injured.

"The child understands!"

Zhen Yan replied.

The old lady said again: "Tomorrow you set off for Jinyang, do you have a plan, how should you deal with it?"

"My child hasn't figured it out yet! Yuan Cheqi's hint is that Rang Zihu had better send Gao Gan and others back, so as to avoid a war between the two families."

Zhen Yan sighed, he really didn't know how to deal with it, Yuan Shao didn't care about the ten BMWs and ten boxes of jewelry, but the issue of status, he would not be inferior to others.

The old lady said: "I'm not talking about this, but the future layout of the Zhen family!"

"Mom, what do you mean..."

Zhen Yan was startled, the words came to her lips, and then swallowed them back.

The old lady didn't shy away, and said bluntly: "Yes, I asked you to make a decision yesterday. You thought about it and didn't make a decision. I will make the decision for you and transfer all the Zhen family's property to Bingzhou to help Zihu. , let him protect my Zhen family."

Zhen Yan stared at the old lady dumbfounded, and then said half a minute: "Mother, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult, and Yuan Cheqi will definitely not give in. At that time, there will inevitably be a disaster of swordsman."

"My mother is not asking you to transfer all of them now, but to tell Zihu our wishes, so that he has an idea in his mind. His strategists are not weaker than Yuan Benchu, and he will naturally advise you when the time comes. , why you can't figure it out."

The old lady shouted.

"But……"

Zhen Yan paused for a moment, then said: "Jizhou is the foundation of my Zhen family, if I abandon it, it will hurt the foundation."

The old lady said solemnly: "These things can be brought back sooner or later. Don't give up the status of the Zhen family in the future for the sake of immediate benefits. Zihu is now the general of the hussars, with a high position and power, and has been crowned the position of the three princes." , It’s not impossible, we went to the past earlier, one is to help, and the other is to rely on Tuo’er, so why worry about my Zhen family’s foundation!”

The old lady is planning ahead again. Compared to before, she is still choosing between Yuan Shao and Zhao Feng, but now she has made up her mind and wants to kick Yuan Shao away.

"The child understands!"

Zhen Yan replied that he had heard about it before, saying that Zhao Feng married a woman in Meiji. Although this woman's family business was not as good as Zhen Tuo's, the whole family followed and helped Zhao Feng, and she was very popular in Meiji City. Among them, Zhen Tuo has been compared.

……

Taiyuan County, Jinyang.

The cold winter has arrived, the wind and snow are blowing, people are too cold to stand up straight, curled up in a ball, but inside the Hushi General's mansion, there is a warm current.

Inside the house, four stoves were burning vigorously, and the charcoal fire was creaking inside. There was a circle of people sitting around each stove.

These people were all the main officials of the counties in Bingzhou, including Lu Xiufu and Yang Tinghe, who also came. This meeting was called the annual meeting by Zhao Feng.

"Everyone, the new year is approaching. Today, everyone can speak freely. You can say whatever you want. Don't shy away. In a word, next year, I want to see a brand new Bingzhou, a Bingzhou that will not be bullied by outsiders, and a stable state. Bingzhou."

Zhao Feng opened his mouth and said, although Bingzhou's territory is not vast, it is in the middle of the cracks. If it wants to seek development, it can only be steady and steady, step by step, accumulate food widely, and become king in the future.

Everyone was silent, those who were familiar with Zhao Feng were trying their best to think about how to prescribe the right medicine, while those who were not familiar with him were worrying whether their position was in jeopardy.

"Jie Fu, tell me about Shuofang first."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhao Feng had no choice but to order soldiers and generals, whoever he called would come first, Yang Tinghe had already been enlisted as Bingzhou Biejia, and at the same time he was preparing for Shuofang County.

Yang Tinghe said slowly: "My lord, Shuofang already has countless good fields. After the first spring harvest next year, it will be able to support tens of thousands of people. If we continue to expand production for a long time, it will provide Bingzhou with a steady stream of food. Therefore, the subordinates believe that Therefore, Shuofang County should focus on the Bingzhou granary, and encourage the army and civilians in it to set up tenants."

Letting Shuofang County be a granary is indeed a hundred-year plan. Zhao Feng nodded and ordered: You can transfer refugees from all over the place to go to Shuofang to farm for them to provide them with food, clothing, housing and transportation. All taxes are exempted for the first year, and the grain grown will be purchased by the government. , and a subsidy was given to let him settle down in Shuofang as soon as possible, and [-]% of the tax was also collected every year after that. "

"Master Mingjian!"

Yang Tinghe agreed to this matter.

"Zilong, there must be a strategy for the expansion of the Ruishi Battalion. After three years, I want the Ruishi Battalion to have [-] cavalry and infantry each, and become an army of [-] people."

Zhao Feng asked Zhao Yun again.

Zhao Yun got up quickly and replied: "My lord, the last general has plans to recruit new soldiers in Xihe and Shangdang. There are tens of thousands of Yellow Turban refugees in these two places. Choose strong and strong people from among them. They will train day and night, and they can go to Shuofang to set up a farm. , you can go out of Liang to Dingguan, attack Xianbei in the north, and within three years, you can definitely form an army."

"it is good!"

Zhao Feng said with a smile: "I will wait and see, General!"
