Chapter 290 There is a daughter in the Feng family
Hearing the movement behind her, the girl turned around naturally.
The moment the girl turned her head, her stunning face spread out in front of Liu Feng like a brilliant scroll.
The beauty of the girl is like a rare treasure, stunning, her face is pure and clean, her facial features are exquisite, as crystal clear as the dewdrops in the morning, and her delicate skin makes people want to touch her.
Seeing Liu Feng and Xu Chu behind him, the girl was obviously frightened. She quickly stood up and knelt down to Liu Feng.
"The slave family pays homage to the general."
The delicate body trembled slightly, showing the fear and uneasiness in the heart, which made people feel the desire to control.
Liu Feng couldn't help but sigh, this woman is truly beautiful and fragrant. She is the most beautiful woman Liu Feng has ever seen.
No wonder Zhou Tai reminded her like that before. Liu Feng originally thought that the other party was reluctant to part with this girl. He also thought about asking about her origins later and simply rewarded her to Zhou Tai.
Now that I saw it, I realized that Zhou Tai was obviously worried that such rare treasures would not be taken seriously by him.
How could Zhou Tai be tempted? From Liu Feng's perspective, I am afraid that in Zhou Tai's eyes, this little lady has long been regarded as the best trophy, and he wants to pay tribute to him.
This is why he reminded himself many times, so that he would not let down his fierce loyalty.
Liu Feng had somewhat recognized who this girl was at this time, but he was not sure yet.
So, Liu Feng asked deliberately: "Who is the little lady? Are my father and brother still around?"
The girl Feng lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "The slave family's surname is Feng. My father, Feng Fang, was the chief minister of the imperial court during the late emperor's reign. He passed away eight or nine years ago. The Nu family and his elder brother are still living in the city."
Sure enough, it was Feng Fangnu, Yuan Shu's favorite concubine in history. In the novel, she even became his queen after Yuan Shu became emperor.
This is a great beauty who has left a reputation in history for her natural beauty. No wonder she is so beautiful.
It is said that Yuan Shu saw Feng Fangnu passing by on the city wall, fell in love with her at a glance, kidnapped her into the palace, and made her his equal wife.
I didn’t expect that I would catch up with this matter.
“Oh, you still have a brother alive.”
Liu Feng nodded.
Feng Fang was a man without talent or virtue. He made his fortune by being the son-in-law of a eunuch, and he was once considered very popular in the court.
After all, his father-in-law is Cao Jie. This is no ordinary eunuch. He is the father-level existence of the Shi Chang Shi.
No matter whether it is ability or skill, Shi Changshi is not worthy of carrying Cao Jie's shoes.
The reason why He Jin lost was simply because he was too stupid, not because Shi Chang Shi was so powerful.
Cao Jie was completely different. He entered the palace during the reign of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty and was promoted to Xiaohuangmen. During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, he became prosperous and moved to the central government. When Emperor Ling arrived, due to his support from Conglong, he not only became a marquis, but also joined forces with Changle at that time. Zhu Yu and others in the history of facial features issued an edict to kill Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others.
Zhang Huan, one of the Three Ming Dynasties in Liangzhou, had the most authentic scholar background and was an authentic descendant of a great gentry clan. He was a famous Confucian scholar and writer in Liangzhou. He studied under Taiwei Zhu Chong. A truly genuine celebrity template.
As a result, Cao Jie was treated like a monkey, and he killed Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others with a borrowed knife, and then controlled the government for thirteen years.
Although Feng Fang's appearance is not introduced in history, if he was an ugly man, he probably wouldn't be the son-in-law of the powerful Cao Jie.
Liu Feng felt that Feng Fang's daughter was so beautiful because she probably inherited the advantages of both her parents. She was the best of both families.
"Yes, my brother is in Shouchun City."
Feng Fangnu's voice is very pleasant, like the sound of jade beads falling on a plate, clear and pleasant.
Liu Feng remembered the flash of surprise just now, and couldn't help but ordered: "Raise your head."
Feng Fangnu was really very well-behaved, her cheeks were obviously red, but she still remained He lowered his eyebrows and raised his head obediently, but his eyebrows were lowered and he did not dare to look at Liu Feng.
She didn't look at Liu Feng, but Liu Feng could see it very clearly. It was indeed as exquisite as a porcelain doll.
And from a historical perspective, this woman was not only innocent and lovely, but also very obedient, but her ending was a bit tragic.
Because she was so beautiful and had a very pleasant personality, Feng Fang was greatly favored by Yuan Shu as soon as she entered Yuan Shu's palace, and she was also given the status of an equal wife, which directly made other people in Yuan Shu's palace The concubine was crazy with jealousy.
These concubines first joined forces to deceive Feng Fangnv, saying: "The general and the noble man have integrity. At that time, they were weeping and sad, and they will be respected in the future." Feng thought so, but she often shed tears when she saw the trick. The technique is to have a strong will and help people feel sad.
As a result, Yuan Shu thought she had great ambitions, but he doted on her even more.
But rabbits are rabbits after all, and they eat grass by nature. How can they resist a female wolf, let alone face a pack of female wolves?
The women seemed to be extremely sinister, so they might as well use force.
The concubines in Yuan Shou's palace actually joined forces and strangled Feng Fangnu directly, and then hung her up to pretend to commit suicide.
Yuan Shu, this idiot, actually believed it. At this time, Feng Fangnu was already pregnant.
Just when Liu Feng was a little obsessed with Feng Fangnu's stunning appearance, Xu Chu suddenly spoke at the door and asked, "Do you want to rest here, young master?"
Xu Chu's words As soon as it came out, Feng Fangnu's fair face was stained with a layer of rouge, and she obviously understood the meaning of these words. But no matter how shy and uneasy she was, she didn't dare to lower her head, and she was obedient and lovable.
But Liu Feng suddenly woke up and came back to his senses.
Feng Fang's daughter is indeed of heavenly beauty and has a docile and pleasant personality. She is an excellent concubine candidate.
But now Shouchun has just been captured, and there are unstable factors everywhere in the city. Although they have been suppressed for the time being, this is only suppression, not resolution.
Now is not the time to indulge in women.
Liu Feng couldn't help but remind himself that your surname is Liu, not Cao.
This is Shouchun, not Wancheng.
Liu Feng slowly shook his head, and then said, "You can have a good rest here, and no one will disturb you. When it gets dark, I will send someone to find your brother."
Finished After that, Liu Feng glanced at Xu Chu, who still looked innocent, as if he hadn't asked the question just now.
This smart big brown bear.
Liu Feng laughed in his heart, then turned around resolutely and left the apse.
After waiting out of the back hall, Xu Chu asked naively: "Young Master, where are we going?"
Liu Feng rolled his eyes at Xu Chu angrily, and then replied: "Go to the wounded barracks first, and then Let’s patrol the camp again, and when everything is over, find a place to take a nap.”
Although the fighting was not big this night, the fighting was quite intense.
Those who can still fight for Yuan Shu at this level are all Yuan Shu's close relatives and elites.
Therefore, the Xuzhou Army Headquarters still suffered a lot of casualties. There were more than 140 seriously wounded people and more than 200 lightly wounded people, for a total of 400 to 500 casualties.
One-third of them were armored soldiers, which shows the fierceness of the battle.
If leather-armored soldiers were used instead, the number of casualties would at least double.
Seeing Liu Feng appear in the wounded camp, the soldiers seemed to feel less pain.
Liu Feng seriously told the doctors and auxiliary soldiers to pay attention to cleanliness. All water must be boiled, and drinking water must be placed in clean containers to cool.
The bandage must be changed every day and scalded in boiling water for more than half a quarter of an hour before washing.
Although the injured barracks of the Xuzhou Army were independent like those of other warlords, the purposes of the two sides were completely opposite.
Other warlords were afraid that the tragic scenes in the wounded barracks would damage morale and weaken the soldiers' will to fight.
The Xuzhou Army is worried that the wounded will not receive good care and a quiet place to recuperate, so generally more efforts will be made in the camps where the wounded are located. Not only was the site chosen to prevent flooding, but a large amount of lime soil was also used to spread it over the camp for disinfection.
This also makes the Xuzhou Army's wounded recovery rate ridiculously high.
In this era when nine out of ten injured people will not survive, the recovery rate of 40% to 60% is indeed a miracle.
Later, Liu Feng inspected the palace gates and other important passes in the palace city, and found that no one among Xuzhou's soldiers was lazy. Although they were very tired, they still stuck to their posts, and his mood suddenly improved.
After praising Jiang Qin and others, Liu Feng took Xu Chu back to the side hall, found a clean room, fell asleep, and slept until 3:30 the next morning. .
"Is it so late?"
While washing, Liu Feng asked: "Is the city still safe?"
It is already ten o'clock in later generations. Half done.
"The city is very peaceful. All Yuan Shu's troops are in their respective camps and are not allowed to go out. The captains, captains, and Sima of each camp have entered the palace and are waiting in the main hall to be received by the young master."
Xu Chu Standing next to Liu Feng, he replied: "Mr. Liu Ye is in the outer room. He has completed the calculation of Shouchun's large treasury and wants to report it to the young master."
The so-called large treasury mainly refers to wealth. Goods, money, and food were all large amounts and easy to calculate, so Liu Ye came up with them in one night.
However, this is just a calculation, not an inventory. To really conduct an inventory, it would take several days to inventory just the food, let alone other goods.
However, for now, we just need to have a rough impression of the amount of loot. It is enough to calculate the amount. Naturally, we will need to count it carefully in the future to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the loopholes and committing corruption.
"Yes."
Liu Feng wiped his face, and then asked Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, please come in, Mr. Liu." "Yes, young master."
< br>Xu Chu turned around and went out. After a while, he accompanied Liu Ye into the house.
Although he hadn't slept all night, Liu Ye was in high spirits, and he didn't look like someone who hadn't rested yet.
"Young Master, what a great harvest."
As soon as Liu Ye entered the house, he said happily: "This Yuan Gongdao is really good at exploiting, and he has accumulated such a rich family fortune. It is worthy of our state to make a fortune." , now they are all cheaper for us."
Liu Ye took out a silk book from his arms, which recorded the quantities of various large-value supplies.
Although Xuzhou has begun mass production of paper, most of these papers are used for official documents. Currently, the military has not purchased them and still uses silk books for important military documents.
On the one hand, silk books are easier to store and transport than paper. In addition, Liu Feng has not yet promoted them in the army.
However, many places in Xuzhou Prefecture have begun to use paper instead of bamboo slips and silk books. Coupled with the purchases from wealthy merchants from other states, Xuzhou's output can't even keep up with sales.
For this reason, paper in Xuzhou only stayed at the state level, and did not sink to counties, villages and villages.
Liu Feng took the silk book and began to read it.
Good guy, the food in stock alone is as high as one million dan.
The gold and silver in other warehouses is as high as tens of thousands of kilograms. In addition, there are also a large number of fine Han five bahts, good stocks of silk and silk, and a small amount of snow purchased from Xuzhou. Salt and frosting sugar.
After Liu Feng read it, his brows wrinkled slightly.
The food in stock is still too little.
Many people think that even millions of stones have been seized, so why is it still too little?
But in fact, these more than one million stones of food are not disposable food. Most of them are Yuan Shujun's army rations.
This relationship is equivalent to the gap between personal income and personal disposable income.
There are usually 30,000 to 40,000 troops stationed in Shouchun, plus the officials from Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers, so the rations of these people must come from the stored grain.
Based on 30,000 people, 60,000 shi of food are needed every month, which amounts to 720,000 shi a year.
Almost half of the inventory was wiped out in one fell swoop.
And no one else knows, how can Liu Feng still be unclear?
A severe drought is imminent and will affect the entire Jianghuai River. Even Runan and southern Peiguo will be affected by the drought.
Liu Feng was under considerable pressure at this time.
Fortunately, he has already made a plan and believes that if everything is carried out according to the plan, it will not be as bad as it was in history.
The top priority is that he needs to stabilize the entire Jianghuai as soon as possible.
Only when the overall situation is stable and the war ends, can the autumn harvest in the entire Jianghuai region be fully launched without being affected.
This is the last grain harvest before the disaster, and it cannot be wasted.
As for old water conservancy projects such as building water conservancy projects based on the Huai River and dredging Shaopi River, there is no rush and can be arranged after the autumn harvest.
Liu Ye saw Liu Feng frowning, and his heart suddenly sank.
This man is notoriously thoughtful and likes to figure out his lord's thoughts. But he didn't have Guo Tu's talent, and the lord he met at the same time was not as easy to guess as Yuan Shao.
Liu Ye originally thought that Liu Feng would be overjoyed after seeing this grain storage data.
From the data point of view, this harvest seems to be similar to the total amount of Yellow Turbans in Runan, Yingchuan.
But in fact, the amount of food available at their disposal far exceeded the food contributed by the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan, Runan.
Because it was March and April, the Yellow Turban Army had to rely on that food to eat. Even if Liu Feng captured it, unless Liu Feng chose to kill all the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army, the food would still have to be consumed. .
But it’s different now. It’s already the day of the autumn harvest, and the harvest of new grains is about to begin, so it’s naturally different.
Therefore, Liu Ye came to claim credit excitedly, but he did not expect that the reality was completely different from what he imagined.
“How many people are there in the city?”
Liu Feng asked casually: "If we recruit civilian men in Shouchun, how many people can be mobilized at least?"
Liu Ye was taken aback, swallowed the question and replied: " There are still more than 13,700 households in Shouchun City, with a total population of more than 52,000."
Then Liu Ye paused, chewed and reported a number: "If. If we want to mobilize, we can recruit at least three thousand people."
A family in the Eastern Han Dynasty usually had only three or four people, including one male.
Three thousand civilians were selected from more than 13,000 households, almost one out of every four.
"Yes."
Liu Feng nodded: "Mr. Ziyang, please make preparations early."
Liu Ye's eyes suddenly lit up: "Young Master, is it possible that the army still wants to cross the river?"
In Liu Ye's view, Liu Bei was currently under an imperial edict to punish thieves. He had the emperor's endorsement and conquered places in the name of the imperial court. Now that even Yuan Shu, the culprit, has been caught, the rest of the Jianghuai area can naturally be decided by propaganda, and there is no need to recruit civilians.
Liu Feng would make this decision, obviously because he probably wanted to take advantage of the great victory to cross the Yangtze River and advance to the east of the Yangtze River.
Liu Feng shook his head: "I plan to take advantage of this winter to dredge the Shapi canal and prepare the water conservancy projects in the entire Jianghuai region."
"Prepare the water conservancy?"
Liu Ye almost lost his composure. This was far from the answer he thought.
Liu Feng didn't notice Liu Ye's shock, his eyes were still on the silk book.
Although the grain reserves did not surprise Liu Feng, the amount of goods later really surprised Liu Feng.
With so much wealth, coupled with food, more people can be recruited.
Then what is missing next is talent.
It is useless to have civilians alone, you also need water conservancy engineering masters.
Liu Feng has several candidates at hand, one of whom is his father's number one confidant Chen Deng.
Chen Deng is really a hexagonal warrior. He is simply a small Wuhou. This is still talking about the future perfection.
The current Brother Liang may not be as awesome as Chen Deng.
In history, Chen Deng once successfully presided over the water conservancy project in Guangling County, with extremely good results.
If Cao Cao hadn't finally chosen to give up, Guangling would never have turned into a no-man's land like Baili Zeguo like in history.
The next big boss is Jia Xi. Although he is nearly seventy years old, he is still in good health and is still shining brightly with his second uncle. It is time to transfer him to Southeast.
The last two are in Shouchun City, and Liu Feng has already arranged for someone to invite them.
"Mr. Ziyang, I have a secret that I want to tell you. Please keep it a secret after listening to it. Never reveal it, even to family members."
Liu Feng's solemn expression made Liu Ye My heart skipped a beat.
If it had been someone else, he might have backed down, but Liu Ye himself was very focused on fame. At this time, it was too late to be excited about Liu Feng's trust, so he would not want to back down.
Liu Feng looked at Liu Ye's impatient eyes and admired him inexplicably: "There may be a severe drought in Jianghuai next year."
"Severe drought!?"
Liu Ye's pupils shrank suddenly. How serious is this drought for Liu Feng to treat it so seriously?
Liu Feng nodded slowly: "Yes, there is a severe drought, and it is very likely that there will be no harvest in the two counties in Jiangbei."
"No harvest?"
This Liu Ye could no longer maintain the composure on his face.
Even though Liu Ye has never been someone who loves his people like a son, these two counties in Jiangbei are his hometown.
On the contrary, Liu Feng comforted Liu Ye: "Mr. Ziyang, don't worry too much. Now that the two counties in Jiangbei have been returned to the imperial court, the emperor and my father will not let it go. Besides, let alone Lujiang, Jiujiang has mature water conservancy projects such as Shaopei." There are many lakes and rivers in the territory. As long as we seize the time to repair and dredge them, we can save part of the harvest."
Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of Liu Feng's previous arrangements, he was moved and happy, but not the least bit. Doubt Liu Feng's words.
Firstly, lying about the drought would do Liu Feng no good, and secondly, it was also because Liu Feng’s prestige in Liu Bei’s group was surprisingly high.
"Young Master, all the generals are waiting in the main hall."
At this time, Xu Chu suddenly spoke from the side to remind Liu Feng.
All the senior generals in Shouchun City have arrived at the main hall and are waiting to be received by Liu Feng.
