The demon world I designed.

Chapter 127 Vigilance against Liuzhou
Jiangnan has been locked for a month, and Liuzhou City has a population of 10!

This number, Wu You collected it himself these days
He and Hong Lie had arrived in Liuzhou on the tenth day, and he still hadn't seen the mysterious Liuzhou magistrate, but the situation in Liuzhou was getting better and better as seen by the naked eye.

"I said, Old Wu, what are you doing with a sad face all day?"

At a tea stand near the city gate, Hong Lie was holding a large bowl of meat worms fried until golden. He ate deliciously, and Wu You's stomach ached even more with his heartless look.

"General Hong, look. There are more and more people in Liuzhou City."

"Yeah, that's right." Hong Lie nodded: "The queue for food has been longer these two days than the previous few days, and there are indeed more and more people."

Wu You's face twitched, and he looked at Hong Lie quietly: "Don't you find anything wrong, the general?"

"What's wrong?" Hong Lie ate the meat worm and looked at him curiously.

Needless to say, this worm really gets better the more you eat it. It has the chewiness of beef but is not as dry as beef. The gravy is paired with their black pepper sauce. It tastes really good. When I leave here, I have to find Chen. Qing wants to go back soon to see if she can support her in the backyard of the Hong family.

"General." Seeing that the other party didn't care at all, Wu You frowned and said, "Look around, do you know how many people there are in Liuzhou now?"

"About [-] people." Hong Lie replied honestly, not understanding why the other party was so serious.

"11 and three people!" Wu You said coldly, "Among them, less than 850 are elderly, weak, women and children, and 14 are young and strong over the age of 9!"

"How do you know so clearly?" Hong Lie asked curiously.

Wu You's face twitched, you thought everyone was just like you, and spent a day without heart or lung, either basking in the sun or queuing up with those refugees to get meat.
"Do you know what this means?" Wu You sighed.

"what?"

"Soldiers!" Wu You squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Most of the young and strong have lost their families and land. They are all excellent sources of soldiers, and in Liuzhou, the willingness to join the army is extremely strong!"

"Oh, that's true." Hong Lie nodded: "The treatment is good. December is ringing. If I were those refugees, I would be very willing."

"December rings." Wu You sighed: "If there were no soldiers at the beginning, it would be possible to attract warriors to join the army with huge profits, but now, Liuzhou has the ability to defend itself, and this condition has not changed."

"If you haven't changed it, you haven't changed it." Hong Lie asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

"What's the matter?" Wu You laughed and said, "The magistrate conscripted soldiers in the name of the imperial court, but everyone knows that such an exaggerated treatment is impossible for the imperial court to allow. The guards in the north did not have this kind of treatment. It's okay now , once the subsequent crisis situation is resolved, what should we do?"

"He has been paying this expensive military salary?"

"It should be disbanded on the spot." Hong Lie said nonchalantly while eating the meat.

"Disband on the spot?" Wu You rolled his eyes at the other party: "Look at those soldiers, what kind of ability, what kind of strength? Will he disband on the spot?"

"What are you worried about?" Hong Lie frowned and said, "Are you worried that Chen Qing will rebel? Then his recruitment efficiency is not enough. He hasn't recruited new soldiers for ten days."

"But the atmosphere hasn't diminished!" Wu You said softly, "Didn't you notice that Liuzhou is constantly improving the status of those soldiers? What is the priority in settling in Liuzhou, allocating real estate, and children who join the army can go to government schools first?" , Now those girls or widows who have not left the cabinet in Liuzhou basically want to marry and serve as soldiers first?"

"Really?" Hong Lie was taken aback: "But I heard that, do you get the same treatment when you go to Daqingshan to work as a farmer?"

"That's why it's abnormal!" Wu You said coldly: "These refugees were rescued in a catastrophe, like duckweed without roots. Liuzhou City gave them safety and sufficient food. They need to be generous, and they can do whatever they want. For example, they can be subsidized by work. They can do farming or work. As long as they are willing to give them enough food, ninety-nine percent of the refugees will not resist. Why should they be given such a big preferential treatment? ? Is there too much money to use up?”

"Uh..." Hong Lie was taken aback for a moment, feeling like he did too. I also feel that the people in Liuzhou are living a better life these days?The cost is indeed high enough
"But that's pretty good too." Hong Lie laughed and said, "Isn't it a good thing for the people to live well?"

"Good thing?" Wu You sneered, "What do you think of the taste of this meat worm?"

"Uh?" For some reason, the other party suddenly mentioned the meat worm, Hong Lie shook his head: "It's very good, it tastes delicious and chewy, and it's even better than the fatty beef brought from the West Sea."

"Then get used to this, and let you eat the mutton at home, are you used to it?"

"You probably aren't used to it." Hong Lie suddenly had a bitter face: "It seems that Chen Qing really has to get some back to the capital. When I think that I can only eat the dry and fishy mutton and fish after I go back, I feel scared. Yes"

"Look, you are all like this, what do those people who can only eat some coarse grains think when they go back?"

"Uh..." Hong Lie raised his head, feeling something was wrong.

"When we lead the soldiers, we all know that we can't let the soldiers at the bottom eat too well." Wu You said coldly: "Unless you can always guarantee that the soldiers under your hands have that treatment, otherwise you can't raise the treatment too much from the beginning." Gao, scholars say that it is reasonable to go from extravagance to frugality. These farmers have tasted the taste of meat and insects, and they have a good life. Will they be willing to let them go back to their previous life? Okay, what about those soldiers?"

"You have also seen, what strength are those soldiers? They have strength and better treatment. You let them disband? Chen Qing is willing, and those soldiers are not willing!"

"This..." Hong Lie swallowed the meat in his mouth: "Then what should we do? Will these soldiers still mutiny?"

"It depends on how to say it." Wu You said quietly: "If Chen Qing disbanded these soldiers himself, then the mutiny would be his responsibility, but if the court forced Chen Qing to disband these soldiers, then these soldiers would not think that they were soldiers. Chen Qing's responsibility, but will resent the court."

"It's fine if they are ordinary people without strength, but these soldiers are different. They are armed with sharp weapons and murderous intentions. If the court wants to take away their treatment, Chen Qing can give it to them. Who do you think they listen to?" ?”

Hong Lie: "."

"The place in the south of the Yangtze River is extremely literary, and it is actually the most difficult place to rebel, because here not only is the strict code of ethics, but also the people's lives are not bad. Most people who want to be safe will not be willing to follow the rebels, but now It's different." Wu You pointed to the outside: "This corpse change has broken the stability, so... those who can give stability and make their lives better will naturally have unprecedented prestige."

"You just want to say that Chen Qing wants to rebel, don't you?" Hong Lie rolled his eyes at the other party: "Based on the fact that Liuzhou is a state? And what you said just now is not correct. The premise of what you said is that Chen Qing can How is it possible to be satisfied with such a life all the time?"

"I also thought it was impossible at the beginning." Wu You sighed: "I thought the prefect was a bit stupid at the beginning, because this way of exaggerating the treatment of refugees, once the treatment declines in the future, it will be thankless. Yes, but you see there are now 10 people, have you ever felt that the food distribution has decreased?"

Wu You pointed to the meat worm in Hong Lie's bowl: "Look at this meat worm, ten days ago, when there were only tens of thousands of people, each person could be allocated one a day. Now there are more than [-] people, and each person can still be allocated one." , as if you can’t finish it.”

"This." Hong Lie shook his head with some guilt: "It should be temporary, right?"

"What if it's not temporary?" Wu You sneered, "What if he can guarantee such a life? Or even better?"

Speaking of which, Wu You pointed to some wandering soldiers outside: "Look, our soldiers are arranged to take turns to defend here. They have the same food every day. They have eaten for more than ten days. Guess if we eat this again For a month or two, I took them back to continue to eat military rations, how do they feel?"

"Forehead"

"It's just a matter of eating. Others are more dangerous." Wu You said in a low voice: "These days, I have often asked soldiers to explore and deal with the soldiers at the city gate, but I didn't expect them to be completely unprepared. To be honest, the bottom line is that these soldiers in Liuzhou used to be ordinary people, but they became so powerful after they enlisted in the army and believed in the door gods of Liuzhou and the battle gods of the Tiger Guards!"

"Isn't this really good?" Hong Lie frowned: "Although this situation is somewhat unreasonable, at least Chen Qing didn't hide anything."

"He didn't even think about hiding it!" Wu You said coldly: "He just revealed it on purpose. Haven't you noticed in the past few days that our soldiers are more and more envious of Liuzhou's soldiers?"

Hong Lie frowned. He felt it. The soldiers around him were alright. Those ordinary soldiers would discuss how the Liuzhou soldiers were doing almost every day, and most of their words were envious or even jealous.

"You have never been in the frontier army, so you don't know the situation in the army." Wu You sighed: "The army has always been polarized. Soldiers with blood are superior to others, and soldiers without blood are all related to blood regardless of treatment and promotion. Soldiers are very different, such an atmosphere will lead to a sense of division in the army, but this situation is not unique to my Dajin, all forces in the world are like this, and there is no way to solve this."

"But the magistrate surnamed Chen is different here!" Wu You said in a low tone, confidently: "Ordinary people here can become as strong as soldiers of blood, and this alone can attract many heroes in the army. If the situation here is infinitely magnified, it must be the scourge of overthrowing Dajin!"
