The Emperor is Above

Chapter 319: All the wise men gather together
Qing Yi had no idea about the farce in the city.

At this moment, he was full of joy, accompanied by Gongsun Wu, Chai Yong, Dongmen Hu and Dongmen Bao, as he inspected and appeased the new subjects numbering as many as 13,000 people.

These poor farmers who had gathered from around the capital were inevitably panicked and worried when they saw the fourteen Wangmang giants.

Fortunately, the fragrant meat porridge cooked in the kitchen car was also very attractive to them. After eating a meal of the fragrant meat porridge, they immediately felt a sense of belonging.

"Your Majesty is right. Food is indeed the most important thing for the people!" Chai Yong sighed as he looked at the countless Chinese people who were busy eating.
"With this cooking car, everyone can have hot soup and food even if the migration is hard, and the number of people who die of illness on the road will be much less."

Qing Yi nodded with a faint smile in his eyes and said: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the foundation of people's livelihood. Since these people are willing to serve under me and become my subjects, I must provide them with a better living environment as much as possible.

Our sled is good at traveling on the snow and can be regarded as a mobile house. These days we go to the capital to buy a lot of animal skins, cloth, cotton and linen to make clothes, and our food, clothing, housing and transportation are all solved.

In addition, the group of pharmacists under Aunt Jiang Ji have several sleds specially used as medical rooms, and the fleet also has sufficient reserves of spiritual medicines.

Regardless of whether these people are accidentally injured or suddenly fall ill on the road, they can receive medical treatment in time, minimizing the casualties of people on the journey."

"We have not thought about it in detail, so we have made the master work harder. Just let us do the rest."

Gongsun Wu had a trace of guilt on his face, and then he pointed to the well-organized Chinese team and introduced them,

"By the way, my Lord, we have recruited tens of thousands of farmers from around the capital during this period, thanks to the help of the three wise men among them."

At this time, three scholars with simple clothes but unique temperament stood up from the crowd of farmers. They walked out politely and bowed: "Greetings to the senior doctor of Longcheng!"

Gongsun Wu introduced them one by one with a solemn look: "My lord, these three are San Yisheng, Nan Guoshi, and Bei Gongyu, all of whom are great sages with great talents.

Thanks to their suggestion that I first gain the trust of the people in the pavilion and then recruit, tens of thousands of people were willing to join us in a short period of time. After careful selection, we were able to select these 13,000 people.

Especially this San Yisheng, I didn't know until a few days ago that he was actually the brother-in-law of Master Gu Shangshi, so he has a lot of connections with us."

"Thank you three gentlemen for your help. It turns out that Brother San is San Ji's brother!"

Qing Yi was pleasantly surprised and shocked. He didn't expect that Gongsun Wu would meet such a talented person, and he turned out to be Tuan Shigu's brother-in-law. He bowed to him repeatedly.

"Brother San, I don't deserve it. It is my honor to do the best I can for you, Senior Doctor!" San Yisheng, who was about 38 years old, bowed respectfully in return.
“The senior official had already told Gongsun Jiazai to only recruit poor farmers with families, which would indeed eliminate many spies and idlers.

However, the sudden gathering of more than 13,000 people would inevitably cause confusion among many residents due to unfamiliarity. It would also be very likely that outsiders would infiltrate, and many unexpected accidents would occur on the journey.

I suggest that the senior official divide the people into dozens of teams according to their respective pavilions, so that even if there are spies sneaking into the convoy, they can be discovered in time. "

Nan Guoshi also bowed solemnly and said, "I have just seen the sleigh invented by the doctor. It is indeed ingenious and amazing. One sleigh can carry the people of ten families.

However, after careful analysis, I think it is best to increase the grain reserves. Although there will be a harvest in the autumn after the migration, we must also prevent the unexpected occurrence of floods, droughts, wars and insufficient autumn grain."

Beigong Yu looked about 34 years old. He also added: "The preparations made by the senior doctor are very thoughtful, but we need to use both kindness and force to deal with the many wild people in Yunling around Longcheng. While using force to deter them, it would be best to add some commercial goods that can be traded with them, so that we can make friends with the wild people in Yunling and profit from trade at the same time."

"The three of you are all talented people in the country. I will ask you to carefully consider the food, cloth, and commercial goods that need to be replenished. As long as we buy everything we need at once, we will not be short of money."

Qing Yi was very happy to have these three talented people in governance. With their help, he quickly managed to organize the 13,000 people in an orderly manner.

During the previous recruitment process, Gongsun Wu, following the advice of the three people, eliminated some unstable elements, leaving only honest Chinese farmers.

Now, with the assistance of San Yisheng and other two, more than 13,000 people were quickly divided into family units, with each team having about 260 people.

In this way, five or six of the ten sleds in each team carry people, and the remaining vehicles are used to transport livestock, poultry, food, cloth, and tools. Considering that each team must have a kitchen car and other types of vehicles, the number seems a bit tight.

Qing Yi pondered for a moment, looked around at everyone and said loudly: "We currently have 500 sleds. Although it is barely enough if we squeeze them together, the journey is long and there are many unexpected events. We have to consider everything. I would like to trouble Brother Shi Gu to work overtime in the next few days to make another 200 sleds."

"Hahaha, why do you need to work so hard to come to the capital? Leave the matter of the 200 sleighs to our Shaofu. We will make sure they are no worse than the ones you already have!"

As the Shaofu Cheng laughed loudly as he was looking for a sword through a tree, Xing Shu, Niuniu, Taishu Bingxin, Liangqiu Juzhong, Yuecheng Qing, Linghu Ming, Bao Bu Tong, Yang Hu, Zhu Zhiwu, Qiu Yuan, Bai Ze, Ran You, Zi Che Zhongxing and others rushed in.

Qing Yi had to greet these new and old friends again, and even brought out a lot of delicious food to treat Niu Niu, Xing Shu and everyone else.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Yi, your chariot camp is not simple!" Ran You was the first to praise, "A convoy of ten chariots, with giant and blue rhinoceros pulling the chariots, a team of more than ten thousand people can travel two or three hundred miles a day.

When camping at night, you can connect the caravan head to tail to form a ready-made camp. Even if the enemy attacks at night, you don't have to be afraid. The only thing you have to worry about is the chariots and heavy cavalry forcibly colliding with you. "

"Brother Ran You, you reminded me that if I add an anti-collision formation to the side of the sled, it can be used as a real camp!"

Qing Yi's eyes lit up immediately after being reminded by Ran You. "The floating formation I made before was a bit bulky. I have made great progress in studying at the Imperial College over the past month. I can take advantage of these few days to further upgrade the floating formation."

When Yang Hu heard that Qing Yi was going to improve the formation again, he couldn't help but said excitedly: "Long Cheng Yi, I can bring all my classmates to help you.

If we can create a stronger floating formation that is fireproof and collision-proof, such a chariot camp will be the nemesis of the Xianyu Cavalry."

Zhu Zhiwu, the poor student, seemed even more excited than Yang Hu: "We don't necessarily have to build a protective chariot camp. If an enemy attacks, the best defense is to actively attack.

If we can create a chariot that moves quickly, has excellent protection, and is powerful in both long-range and close combat, it will be the nemesis of cavalry."

"Zhu Zhiwu's idea is good, but the power of the chariot needs to be studied carefully!" Qing Yi's mind moved, isn't this a tank or an armored vehicle?
In the past, chariots were driven by various types of animal power. Although we now mostly use exotic beasts to pull chariots, it is still better to have our own power.

"Yes, Yang Hu, Zhu Zhiwu, how about the large puppet soldiers you researched and made before? I plan to use them for reference. Perhaps the rune formation that drives the large puppet soldiers can also be used as the power of the chariot."
