Chapter 239 Private Goods


    It cannot be said that Li Ru is stupid, but it can only be said that there is such a thing as a fixed mindset, and very few people can flexibly break through it.


    Fei Qian is not much smarter than Li Ru, but after all, he has done a lot of work like demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall in later generations. He often does this kind of temporary recruitment of people to do the work, and he is also a bystander. Or, there are not so many complicated matters constantly harassing you, so it is easier to think outside the box and find solutions to problems.


    Li Ru''s previous train of thought had indeed reached a dead end. After hearing what Fei Qian said, it was as if another bright road had been opened up, and he felt suddenly enlightened.


    ?Hence Li Rucai solemnly thanked him and made it clear that no matter what problem Fei Qian had for him, he would help within his ability, in the hope that in exchange, Fei Qian could provide more and better strategies for moving the capital.


    It can be said that if Li Ru didn''t care much about Fei Qian before, now he treats Fei Qian as an equal.


    Fei Qian also bowed his hand, thanked Li Ru, and said, "I really want to trouble Li Changshi about something..." Fei Qian told him about the "pass through" order. Of course, Fei Qian would not talk to Li Ru. Tell the whole story, and mix 70% of the truth with 30% of lies so that it is not easy for others to detect.


    Something like this would definitely require the use of carriages and horses, so as long as Li Ru explained what he was transporting and which direction he was probably going, he couldn''t hide it. Therefore, Fei Qian told the truth about these things. But the destination, Fei Qian only said it was to the east of Hedong.


    After all, Cai Yong had been married to the Hedong Wei family before. Although the two families are now at odds, on the one hand, the Wei family has been withholding Cai Yan''s dowry, which is slightly unreasonable; on the other hand, this kind of thing is not something that can be glorified and publicized. , so most people don’t know what the current status of the Cai and Wei families is.


    Hence, it is not unreasonable to send books to the Wei family for temporary storage to avoid loss.


    ?Furthermore, Fei Qian''s purpose was to get out of Sili and out of the control of Dong Zhuo''s army. In the boundary of Hedong County, the Cui family''s trade routes were still open, so there was no big problem in transporting them to Pingyang County.


    Li Ru immediately nodded in agreement. In his opinion, since it was Cai Yong''s collection of books, it was personal property. Cai Yong had to decide how to deal with it. Moreover, Cai Yong was not hostile to him, so there was no need to stop him, but it seemed like He asked very casually: "...Do you think Liu Jingsheng is not a wise master?"


    Fei Qian was silent for a moment, cupped his hands, and did not answer. In fact, it was regarded as acquiescence. After all, this matter is not difficult to infer. If Fei Qian regards Liu Biao as his master, firstly, he will not resign easily, and secondly, these books from the Cai Mansion will not be transported to Hedong, but may find a way to transport them to Jingdong. Go to Xiang...


    However, in Li Ru''s view, as long as Fei Qian is not working for the Guandong nobles, has some selfish motives, or has something to hide, as long as it has nothing to do with Dong Zhuo, Li Ru will selectively ignore it. , after all, everyone has seven emotions and six desires.


    So Li Ru immediately ordered someone to go through a "passing place", handed it over to Fei Qian, and asked someone to serve tea to entertain Fei Qian.


    Li Ru also picked up the tea bowl himself and slowly drank a few sips of the tea soup. He felt that his dry throat was finally moisturized, and he smiled comfortably.


    In the past few days, he was so busy that he hardly even had time to eat, and there were too many things to do, and all the worries were placed on him alone, so even the delicacies from the mountains and the sea were tasteless, let alone calm down to drink a bowl. It’s tea…


    Li Ru and other Fei Qian also put down their tea bowls, and then slowly said: "What Ziyuan just said about millet in a day, how should we explain it?"


    Fei Qian had just raised four issues with Li Ru. The first was the issue of grassroots officials, the second was the issue of grain in a day, and the issue of the migration of foreign races and the advancement and retreat of the same teachers. Seeing that Li Ru was so happy, he "Exercise" was put into his own hands, so he didn''t hesitate and just answered it together. "A bushel of millet is boiled slowly with water, and the resulting rice porridge can feed a family of three for a day. However, if water and fire are not available, if it is eaten whole, one person will not be tired of eating. Therefore, when moving, a camp must be set up first and the sun rises. Let''s go and rest after sunset. The distance between the east and west capitals is only more than 600 miles. We can set up more than ten camps along the water. We can follow them so that there will be no chaos. "


    Why is it that people are prone to fatigue and death when migrating, but the army sometimes walks the same distance, and sometimes even takes a longer distance, but it is not as easy to cause fatigue and turmoil as during migration. In addition to the discipline of the army , the lack of target reference is also an important factor.


    If you know where the next stop is every day and there is something to eat when you walk there, then most people will stick to it and will not give up easily halfway. Moreover, they will move forward in teams in batches, which is not only easier to manage, but also I won’t consume too much food and grass indiscriminately out of fear that I won’t have anything to eat next...


    In this way, the overall traveling speed will be accelerated and too many deaths will be avoided along the way. Of course, some infirmities and injuries are unavoidable, but it can lead to many, many fewer deaths than a chaotic swarm of migrations...


    Li Ru thought for a moment and said, "Good!"


    It was originally intended to transport grain and grass westward, but now it is just a matter of changing the camps that were originally longer distances and smaller in number into shorter distances and larger in number, although it will cost more soldiers to build more camps. Camp, but in terms of being able to protect more relocated people, this is still a very cost-effective deal.


    ?Furthermore, if the migration can be completed as soon as possible without wasting food and grass on the way, judging from the current reserves in Luoyang City, it can still be paid. Therefore, an orderly march is more conducive to the completion of the overall plan, and Li Ru naturally has no objection.


    Fei Qian continued: "People of the same clan have the same surname and the same clan, so they are of the same mind and support each other. Even though the road is long, there is no obstacle. If traveling from mixed clans, troubles will easily occur, so we can proceed in batches according to the same surname and clan. That''s it. No problem."


    ?Li Ru nodded, but didn''t say anything. Although this statement is very beautiful, its enforceability is still open to question, because being of the same clan and surname means that the so-called village elders in the countryside are also acting together. If they are instigated by thoughtful people, it will be easier. Cause problems.


    However, Li Ru did not refute or reprimand on the spot. In his opinion, this was just Fei Qian''s suggestion that although it was a good idea, it had some minor problems because he did not have much practical experience. It was an honest mistake, nothing to blame.


    "Surrounding three palaces and one will disrupt the morale of the army. Now that he is about to return home, if there is no restraint, the morale of the army will also be chaotic. The soldiers should be ordered to retreat slowly with the people, and when they arrive at the capital, they will be rewarded. Those who have more people will be rewarded, and those who are killed will be killed. Punishment can calm the hearts of the people internally and ward off external enemies."


    After hearing this, Li Ru smiled slightly, looked at Fei Qian and said, "Although this method is good, it won''t work..."


    Fei Qian''s heart couldn''t help but skip a beat. Could it be that the private goods mixed in were discovered by Li Ru?


    Let’s pay off the alliance leader’s debt first... I have been saving for many days... Now my bottom is empty again... Keep working hard...
