Yecheng.

Another autumn wind is rising.

The four years of Hongwu are still full of natural disasters.

First there was a drought in Yuzhou area, and then there was another flood in Xuzhou area.

In Jizhou and Guanzhong, droughts are sometimes unchanged.

However, under such a situation, the north under Liu Yu's rule remained stable.

There are no more large-scale refugees.

There was no larger-scale hunger.

All of this is entirely due to rest and recuperation in the past two years.

It gives the people some pitiful food storage at home.

Even the poorest families can eat braised vegetables to ensure that they cannot starve to death.

"The Yangzhou in Jinshi suffered from floods for three months, and a large area of ​​fertile land was flooded and the people had no harvest. Xuzhou Governor Dong Ping reported that at least 30,000 people had fled across the Huai River, and there was a tendency to increase."

The attendant Xun Sui was holding a memorial in his hand and was reporting to Liu Yu.

"The great tyrants in Jiangdong do not pay taxes or pay food. Most of the refugees in Huainan carry heavy taxes. As long as there is a little famine, it will be normal to leave their families and businesses and flee."

Liu Yu is not surprised by this situation.

"However, the Lord of Jin from Jiangdong has sent people to send messages repeatedly, hoping that we would send all the people who fled to Xuzhou to them and would never accept refugees who fled in the future." Xun Sui said.

When Liu Yu heard this, he was immediately happy.

"Hahaha, I don't know if this stupid request was remembered by Sima Rui or those ministers."

"This is already fat in your mouth, how can you spit it out again?"

After Liu Yu said that, he thought for a while, and then said.

"Send someone to send a message to Sima Rui, saying that after these refugees arrived in Xuzhou, they all fled and disappeared. Perhaps they had returned to their hometowns, so I could not find anyone for him."

"If Sima Rui does not want the people under his rule to escape, then he must cultivate more kindness."

"Look at Wang Dun of Jingzhou, Jingzhou was also famined, but the people under his rule did not escape. It was even better than the kindness of him, the emperor of Jin's family."

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Xun Sui and others smiled knowingly.

Wang Dun implemented the military farming system in Jingzhou and Jiangzhou areas.

A large number of refugees were controlled by the army on the land.

These military farming systems are almost half slavery.

Most of the labor results of refugees from the military farm were taken away by Wang Dun, and the remaining harvest was only to keep the refugees hungry and full.

Even such a scam-free "military farming system" has an advantage that Sima Rui cannot match.

That is, Wang Dun almost regarded these refugees who were busy farming as his private property.

Once a serious famine occurs, when these refugees are not well-off enough to make a living, Wang Dun will even pay out of his own pocket to provide barely enough food for these military farmers.

After some operation, these refugee farmers who had no food and clothing actually maintained considerable stability.

At least? This year's famine has been going on for years, but no major refugees have fled north to the Han Dynasty.

"Sima Rui is already weak, but he only takes the title of an emperor? And he has a bit of people's hearts."

"This year is a famine year? After being tricked by Wang Dun, Sima Rui seems to be a loser."

Did Liu Yu make some sarcasm again? Then he gave up.

At this time, Xi Jian spoke again.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to reply to the report submitted by Ran Long about the Murong Ministry?" Xi Jian asked.

When he heard this question, Liu Yu did not answer immediately.

As the governor of Xiazhou? Ran Long’s mission is actually to shock the northwest of the grassland.

The most critical one is the Murong Xianbei who moved westward.

Ran Long reported that Murong Xianbei leader Murong Wei was in serious condition, and it was probably not long since he had time.

The candidate for his successor will be a key node for Murong Xianbei.

The eldest son of Murong Han is powerful? He has outstanding military achievements and many subordinates support him.

The eldest son Murong Huang is still young, and although he is not weak in ability, coupled with the support of his mother's family, he cannot guarantee a 100% succession.

Ran Long meant that he wanted to take this opportunity to instigate the battle between Murong Han and Murong Huang.

As long as the internal struggles of the Murong Xianbei will be greatly weakened.

In this way, there is no need to worry that Murong Xianbei will not be restricted.

"Ran Long's idea cannot be said to be wrong."

"But the timing is not right."

Liu Yu said with some regret.

"Your Majesty thinks that Murong Xianbei cannot be weakened?" Xi Jian asked.

"Yes, at least it shouldn't be now."

Liu Yu continued.

"Didn't Ran Long say that the Cheshi Kingdom in the Western Regions is now blocking the front of the Murong Xianbei, and nearly 100,000 heavy troops gathered in its capital Jinpu City."

"If Murong Xianbei is weakened, he will be buried in the tiger's mouth."

When Liu Yu said this, he smiled treacherously again.

"I'm still counting on letting the Murong Xianbei ravage the countries in the Western Regions."

"I really didn't expect that I would meet such a powerful Che Shiguo as soon as I got started."

"Since that's the case, why not let Che Shiguo fight with Murong Xianbei?"

"No matter what the result is, it is the best for us."

After Liu Yu's analysis, Xi Jian and others immediately agreed.

After all, the grassland was already very thoroughly divided at this time.

The Murong Xianbei basically had no ability to deal with the tribes and return to the eastern grasslands.

Therefore, since we should harm our neighbors.

Then there is no need to be too small for the flood.

After all, the Cheshi, the powerful Western Regions country that could make Murong Wei and his son exclaimed repeatedly is not a soft persimmon.

"Besides, Murong Ting also received the military lord I enthroned, this is a serious vassal of the Han Dynasty."

"Who will succeed you? Ask the court to ask for instructions, it is the duty, so how can you let them decide?"

Liu Yu said here and said again.

"Murong Zhaoyi in the harem just gave birth to a princess for me. As a grandfather, Murong Wei should have reported good news."

"Let me do this, send someone to pay my respects and give Murong Shaw some more elixirs."

"Then bring my edict and say that the difference between legitimate and illegitimate should not be abolished easily. I will confer Murong Yong the crown prince of Jinshan County."

"After that, the Murong tribe should also adhere to the laws of the clan and Zhou dynasties, and the difference between legitimate and illegitimate is the greatest."

Liu Yu said this, and suddenly there was a burst of malicious speculation in his heart.

Now that Murong Han's power is gradually accelerating, there will definitely be a struggle in the future.

At that time, the difference between legitimate and illegitimate will only make them fight more ruthlessly.

After saying this, Liu Yu thought about it carefully.

"The Cheshi Kingdom in front of the Murong Xianbei is so powerful, so you can't take it lightly."

"Let's do this, I will issue another edict to Ran Long."

"His eldest son Ran Liang's subordinates have trained a cavalry with three thousand soldiers?"

"Let Ran Liang lead these three thousand cavalry to support Murong Xianbei. Cheshi Kingdom is the throat of the northern Western Regions."

"If you cannot win the Cheshi Kingdom, then how can you talk about returning to the Western Regions?"

"Let Ran Liang be prepared again. Not only should you pay attention to Murong Xianbei's movements at any time, but you should also be careful of those chariots."

"It seems that the car master of the Western Regions is not easy to deal with."

-·-·-·-·-·

When Liu Yu sent an envoy to the Great Northwest Grassland just set out, the Cheshi Kingdom of the Western Regions thousands of miles away.

Outside Jinpu City.
