Chapter 39 I'm here, things will get better

Lushun Fort.

This place was under the command of the Dingliaoduwei Commandery and belonged to the Zhongzuoso of Jinzhouwei.

When the Jiannu rose to power, southern Liaoning fell, and except for Lushun, most of the territory fell into the hands of the Jiannu.

Afterwards, this last fortress in southern Liaoning was captured and burned several times by the Jiannu.

A few years ago, Zhang Pan, a famous general who fought against the Jiannu, was killed by refugees from Liaodong in Lushun, and the place was lost again.

It was not until the Jiannu withdrew that Huanglong recovered this place.

When Chen Ran arrived here, his first impression was miserable.

The formerly sturdy Fort Lushun had already been reduced to ruins, with traces of burning everywhere.

There were quite a lot of people, but most of them were arranged by Chen Ran, and they had almost no places to stay. They all lived in densely packed tents.

From time to time, groups of pale-faced and ragged people would go to sea.

Chen Ran paused and silently looked at those people in the distance who were shivering as they came out of the sea, holding some unknown seafood or kelp in their hands.

A smart guy immediately shouted and asked to send servants to drive everyone away so as not to spoil the Marshal's mood.

"Need not."

Chen Ran waved his hand to stop him, then walked over.

A few ragged young men, seeing a large number of soldiers surrounding them, were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and trembled.

"Get up and talk." Chen Ran greeted in a gentle voice, "How are you doing?"

The skinny young man dared not speak and trembled timidly.

"This is our new commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town!" Geng Zhongming, eager to show off in front of Chen Ran, shouted, "The commander-in-chief is asking questions, why don't you speak quickly!"

"Eat, I can't eat."

It’s not that you can’t eat enough, but that you can’t eat enough.

Chen Ran pinched his fingers and asked, "What else?"

"There is no place to live." The man spoke fluently, but his words were full of winter chill. "Many people froze to death in winter."

"Food, clothing, housing and transportation." Chen Ran murmured, and asked again, "Are there any other difficulties?"

"After the Marshal's death."

"Be bold!"

"Shut up!"

The generals of Dongjiang Town behind him were filled with shock and anger, some even drew their swords.

After you tell the Marshal in front of him that he is dead, how do you want him to view the people of Dongjiang Town?
Although everyone knows that it is Marshal Mao who is being talked about, who knows what Marshal Chen is thinking.

Several young men were so frightened that they trembled and lay on the ground, not daring to say a word.

"No problem." Chen Ran waved his hand, signaling them to get up. "Tell me any other difficulties you have, and I'll find a way to solve them."

What a loud tone!
If it were just these few people, then it would be extremely simple, just recruit them into the army.

But in Fort Lushun alone, there are tens of thousands of people, and if you add the people on the various islands, there are more than hundreds of thousands.

Solve the life difficulties of so many people, hehe~~~
The generals all looked strange, but no one said anything.

The Marshal has just arrived and I haven’t figured out his temper yet, so it’s better not to say anything careless.

"If you are sick and there is no cure, you will die soon after you get sick"

"Well, there is a lack of medical care and medicine."

"I have nothing to do, I go up and down the mountains and seas all day looking for food."

"Well, lack of work and income."

"We don't know when the Jiannu will attack us. If we can't get on the ship, we'll be dead."

"Yeah, insecurity."

"."

After a series of questions, Chen Ran told the young people, "My life will get better when I come."

Everyone'(￣_，￣)'

This statement is so amazing!
When we arrived at the largest and most complete courtyard in the castle, a banquet had already been set up in the main hall.

Although Dongjiang Town is in economic difficulty and has no food to eat, the generals' Maybach is the daily enjoyment of the generals and can still be guaranteed.

There was no shortage of wine and meat, and there were even musicians playing music and singers dancing.

These are professionals who were hired from all over Denglai at great expense.

After all, when the wind is favorable, you can reach Lushun in one day and night.

With a smile on his face, Chen Ran invited everyone to drink and have fun, chatting and chatting, as if his previous behavior of pleading for the people was just a pretense.

At the banquet, he readily agreed to make up for the two years' arrears of food and wages for various departments.

The generals were overjoyed and threw out nice words as if they were free.

When the banquet was over and the generals left drunkenly, the eunuch Cao Demeng, who was sitting with them, stepped forward dissatisfiedly and said, "My Lord, these are the food and wages you worked so hard to get, why did you give them to them?"

Raising his hand and rubbing his forehead vigorously, Chen Ran lowered his eyelids and said, "It should have been paid. If you don't pay them, they will either rebel or surrender."

"The people in Dongjiang Town are mostly refugees from Liao." He took the tea handed over by Liu Youfu. "They escaped the massacre of the Jiannu and gathered under Marshal Mao to fight the Jiannu desperately."

"It's a pity that they didn't lose to the Jian Nu, but were held back by the imperial court. Marshal Mao was even killed by a female servant. He was so handsome, so handsome that he starved to death!"

He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. "If it were me, I would also rebel."

"No need to say more, distribute the food and wages to each department as soon as possible."

Cao Demeng's final struggle: "Even if it is distributed, most of it will be withheld by military commanders at all levels."

"At least some of it can be eaten by the soldiers and their families." Chen Ran said without raising his head, "No more people can starve to death, at least under my rule, no one can starve to death~~~" "People can die in any way, but they can't starve to death!"

The bright stars hang high in the sky, and the bright starlight gathers into a river.

Under the stars, Chen Ran returned to his temporary residence with heavy steps.

"Master~"

"Husband~"

Qiu Niang and Xue Qing came up to him and helped him take off his clothes and wash.

"The conditions are a bit tough." Chen Ran, who was drunk, took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry to have to trouble you."

"My husband is a high-ranking official, and I enjoy wealth and honor. My husband travels the streets, and I follow him to wash clothes." Smiling Qiu Niang helped him walk to the bed. "Husband and wife are one, there is no such thing as grievance."

"If the ladies three hundred years later were as virtuous as you, there wouldn't be so many scandals. There are even some who devote themselves to being Kunlun slaves, tut!"

It was Qiu Niang's turn not to understand.

"I've been drinking with a bunch of drunkards until now. Xueqing, prepare some hot water." Chen Ran reached out to untie his belt and looked at Qiu Niang. "Madam, would you like to take a bath together?"

The next day, the sun was high in the sky.

A pair of brothers tightened their belts, supported each other and walked towards the beach, preparing to go into the sea to catch some oysters and kelp to fill their stomachs.

When I passed by the women's camp, I looked from afar at the young women sewing and mending in the sunshine.

There were no ready-made clothing stores back then, and clothes were all sewed by women stitch by stitch.

"Brother, those chicks are so pretty."

"Brother, just take a look, they are all the Marshal's women."

"Brother, I heard there are thousands of girls. Can the Marshal handle it?"

"Brother, I heard that the Marshal has three heads and six arms, horses can run on his arms, and people can stand on his fists. I think he has more than us."

"Brother, when can we marry my little girl?"

"Brother, let's think about where the next meal is."

"Brother, what are all those people doing over there?"

"Brother, just go and take a look and you'll know."

Liu Youfu, holding a tin horn in his hand, stood on the cart and shouted to the crowd, "According to the order of the Marshal, rebuild Lushun Fort and Nanguan. Anyone willing to work will be paid 30 cents a day, plus three meals~~~"

"Thirty cents? Really give me money."

"Three meals a day, my God, who can eat three meals a day?"

If this matter were handled by a civil servant, the people of Dongjiang Town would most likely not believe it.

After all, they were all badly betrayed by the civil servants in the court, and even Marshal Mao was killed by them.

But after the new commander-in-chief said so, many people thought it was worth a try.

After all, everyone still has some expectations in their hearts. Maybe the new commander-in-chief will be a good person?

For thousands of years, under the constant brainwashing of Confucianism, society has not made the slightest progress. The most sincere expectation of the people is to pray that their parents are good people!

Chen Ran has watched too many short videos on the Internet and has a basic understanding of human nature.

Liu Youfu shouted for a while, and seeing hundreds of people gathered nearby, he immediately waved to the cooks not far away and said, "Get to work."

A large iron pot was set up, and bags of grain, buckets of water, bundles of cabbage, and basins of various seasonings were poured into the pot as if they were free.

The dry wood was burning fiercely, and soon the iron pot was filled with an enticing aroma.

Liu Youfu drank a cup of tea and got on the cart again. "If you are willing to work, go and line up for food now!"

Have a meal!

After a brief moment of surprise, hundreds of people rushed towards the cauldrons like crazy.

Everyone's eyes were bloodshot red.

They didn't touch it before because they knew that the food belonged to the army and anyone who touched the food would be beheaded.

But since it was given to me to eat, I had to fight for it desperately.

Liu Youfu sighed, raised his hand and whistled.

A large number of soldiers rushed out, waving sticks in their hands and shouting, "Line up, line up, everyone!"

Sitting on the cart, Liu Youfu looked at the famished people who were beaten and fled in panic, his face full of confusion. "If you want to recruit soldiers, you can find them everywhere. Why did the Marshal choose these people?"

"Because they are Liao people who are fleeing."

In the temporary headquarters, Chen Ran raised his hand and placed a piece on the chessboard. "They have a deep blood feud with the Jiannu, and are the best source of soldiers."

Cao Demeng on the opposite side made a move casually. "But isn't this expense too high? Thirty coins a day, including food. We have used up at least a hundred dan of grain today."

"That's totally untrue." Chen Ran said calmly, "They have been malnourished for a long time, and now they can only eat porridge. When they have recovered, they will have to eat more meat and eggs to strengthen their bodies."

"Meat, eggs~~~" Cao Demeng was completely stunned. "We still need to feed the hungry people meat and eggs?"

Chen Ran calmly removed several of Cao Demeng's chess pieces. "If soldiers don't eat meat, how can they have the strength to train? If they don't train, how can they fight? This is what they deserve."

Eunuch Cao really couldn't understand Chen Ran's thoughts. He didn't give the grain, meat and eggs to his trusted servants, but gave them to the hungry people.

Could it be that General Chen doesn't know anything about military affairs?

"I won." Chen Ran, who had lost seven games in a row, straightened his back with satisfaction and said, "Eunuch Cao, thank you for letting me win."

"Eh? That's not right." Cao Demeng came back to his senses and looked at the chessboard in confusion, "My dragon was already formed, why did it break in the middle?"

Chen Ran would never give him a chance to correct him. He casually messed up the chessboard and immediately changed the subject. "The news from Denglai has arrived. My Lord, you know that from the Governor of Denglai down, the entire Governor's Office has been seized and their property confiscated."

"I know." Cao Demeng nodded and replied, "I heard that the new governor of Denglai is Sun Yuanhua."
