Chapter 406
In response to this situation, Long Tian was at a loss for a moment and immediately called everyone to discuss.
"Your Majesty, the most troublesome thing at the moment is food. These people's daily consumption is too large, and it will only get worse in the future. If the situation of our purchase of food is found out, they will definitely suspect the source of our food."
"If this suspicion spreads, I am afraid that the forces of the two dynasties will send people to investigate."
Yue Fei said with some worry.
Even if the people in this world have military power and even many masters, they cannot do without food.
No matter what force, the demand for food is the same.
If so much food appears out of thin air in the North, how can others not care? They must find out the reason.
In this way, not only will the situation be unfavorable to Long Tian, but it is also likely to cause conflicts and then war.
If this matter is not handled properly, it will become a fuse, and the fuse for the major forces to target Long Tian, and even the Tianwu Dynasty will intervene.
If the method of training troops in the North is exposed again, the trouble will be even greater.
They were originally a group of refugees who could not survive. After a short training in the North, they all became third-grade warriors and the most elite main battle corps.
This is the biggest threat and the deepest attraction for any force.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we must act decisively at this moment. Either we make up our minds, make preparations early, and resist pressure from all sides at any time, or we stop helping refugees."
"Otherwise, as more and more refugees pour in, our troubles will become greater."
Stopping accepting refugees seems to be the best option at present. Only in this way can this matter be settled.
There is only one disadvantage to doing so, that is, it will damage Long Tian's reputation. Fortunately, this is Qi, far away from Xia, so it doesn't matter even if it damages some reputation.
"You discuss, are there any other ways?"
Long Tian also knew that the situation was urgent. If it really didn't work, he could only stop. This reputation didn't matter, it was better than being targeted by all parties.
However, Long Tian was a little unwilling.
These refugees are indeed an excellent opportunity to replenish troops.
Five million troops, or even more than that, once formed, will be of great help to the next war.
Everyone stopped talking, secretly thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, and what should be done to avoid exposing the secrets of the northern border.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yu of Wu'an City wants to see you."
At this time, Cao Zhengchun walked in.
"This is a rare official, please let him in."
Yu Jun, the lord of Wu'an City, has come to where he is today with a white robe, which is not easy, but he has basically stopped here. Without support, it is impossible to reach a high position.
This person was born in poverty, understands the suffering of the people, and is very supportive of Long Tian's actions.
Lord Yu invited Long Tian into Wu'an City despite the opposition of others, and fully cooperated with Long Tian's actions to help these refugees.
But Wu'an City is a small city after all, with insufficient food reserves and limited power, so it can't help Long Tian too much.
But Long Tian still admires this person very much and gives him enough respect.
A moment later, a thin but lean middle-aged man walked in.
"Your Highness, I greet you."
Although they are not from the same country, Lord Yu still respects Long Tian very much.
"Your Highness, please be polite. Please take a seat."
In such a chaotic country, Lord Yu is a rare official who cares about the people.
"Your Highness, there are more and more refugees coming from outside the city. There are no more materials to build temporary tents in the city, and there is no food to take out. I wonder if Your Highness has any solution?"
Yu Jun did not expect that the storm would be so big and there would be so many refugees pouring in.
Yu Jun has reported to the court layer by layer, hoping to get support from the court. Unfortunately, Lord Yu's report has no news.
Based on Lord Yu's understanding of Qi, he does not hold too much hope in his heart.
Those officials who eat vegetarian food will never care about the life and death of such ordinary people.
Helplessly, Lord Yu can only find Long Tian, the instigator, to find a solution.
"Master Yu, I didn't expect so many people to appear. Now I am in a dilemma. The gold and silver I carry with me are not enough to support the survival of so many people."
Long Tian said helplessly.
Yu Jun understood this very well. There were only so many people in Long Tian's group, and it was clear at a glance how much supplies he could bring.
"Master Yu, I have not changed my original intention and still want to help these refugees get out of trouble, but you have seen the current situation. I am powerless. I wonder if Master Yu has any solution?"
Master Yu is a local, and Long Tian also wants to hear his ideas. If it doesn't work, he can only give up and take some refugees away.
After all, compared with his own secrets, the North is still's safety is more important.
"Your Highness, I also know your difficulties. I have reported to the court, but I have not received any reply. It seems that the court cannot be relied on. After all, the court is also in a difficult situation."
Yu Jun was disappointed and a little outspoken.
"However, I do have a way, but there are certain risks. I wonder if Your Highness is willing to take the risk."
Yu Jun changed the subject.
"Oh, Lord Yu, please tell me. If we can help the refugees, I am still unwilling to give up."
Long Tian became interested. This is a source of soldiers. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Long Tian naturally does not want to give up.
"Your Highness, come and see, this is the largest mountain range in Qi State, known as the Ten Thousand Mountains."
Yu Jun took the map and pointed it to Long Tian.
The Ten Thousand Mountains, Long Tian and others had seen it a long time ago. This mountain range is very large, almost across Qi State, and is a natural barrier for Qi State.
"Your Majesty, there is a plant in the Shiwan Mountains called barley. It grows naturally, and now is the harvest season."
"This plant can satisfy hunger. People near our Wu'an City who can't survive will venture into the mountains to find it and survive the crisis."
"However, there are many wild animals in the Shiwan Mountains, which cause great harm to people who enter the mountains, especially the complex terrain in the mountains, which makes it very easy to get lost and never get out."
"And the place where barley grows is mostly deep in the mountains. For ordinary people, it is full of dangers. Every year, most people who go into the mountains to survive cannot get out."
" If the prince can open up this place and build a refugee area in the mountains, no matter how many refugees there are, they can be fed. "
"Moreover, there are many trees in this mountain, and it is not difficult to build a living place. In this season, the temperature is suitable, and even if you live in the mountains, it will not be a big problem, and it can temporarily solve this crisis."
"It is just that going into the mountains to open up a refugee area and find barley to fill their stomachs will face great danger. Although I can think of this method, I cannot guarantee the safety of the prince and his generals."
Yu Jun is very familiar with the surrounding area, and the solution he gave made Long Tian's eyes light up.
