As a person with a strong sense of crisis, Li Ze naturally would not forget to gather a large amount of food at home to deal with discomfort. He knew very well that once troubled times came, only food would be the hard currency in this world. Gold, silver and treasures were naturally loved by everyone in peacetime, but when wars were in trouble, the value of these things was far less than that of food. It was unusual to buy money without space.

But since the emergence of more than a thousand people in the newly built Qingshan Village, the grain collected by Li Zetun has gradually decreased, which made him worried. It was understandable that Yang Kai did not dare to touch the grain in Changping warehouse. After all, it was war preparations. Some of the excess grains in the county were conquered this year, and everyone's life was not easy.

Li Ze, who took in these refugees, had his own considerations, but this did not mean that he was a good person. He just did this in a simple way from the long-term interests. He was jealous of the hundreds of young and strong people. These people were no longer simple farmers. Those who had committed rebellion were more courageous than ordinary people, and they would be easier to use in the future. Moreover, the four brothers Chen Changping were quite familiar with the situation in Henghai, which was also in line with the long-term strategy formulated by Li Ze.

The direction he ran away was the Henghai Army. At that time, there were such local snakes with good force as guides, and they would naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, to do all this, the prerequisite is to settle these people first.

Even if what Li Ze provided for them was the amount that could barely make these people survive, it was enough for these people who had struggled on the brink of death.

It is already the middle of winter, and spring is not far away. After enduring this winter, the beginning of the new year can be started over. These refugees are looking forward to the beginning of a new life with extremely beautiful wishes.

When Li Ze was feeling distressed about the daily food consumed, Wang Mingyi finally arrived with the supplies rewarded by Yizhou to Wuyi. Wang Mingyi was also a wonderful person. He directly set the delivery location on Li Ze's farm. When the person arrived at Li Ze's place, he sent someone to notify Yang Kai.

"Why did Brother Wang come late?" Li Ze was in a good mood when he saw trucks of food.

"Wang knew that this big thing was caused by the young master, and it was true." Wang Mingyi laughed: "Since it is what the young master needs, Wang naturally needs to think of more ways. Just relying on the rewards in the state, it is probably a drop in the bucket for the young master."

Pointing at the truckload of food, Li Ze said: "Is it possible that Brother Wang's private sponsorship here?"

"The landlord's family has no surplus food!" Wang Mingyi smiled and said, "My family is very clear about my family. If I move around, I will inevitably have to lose the money. I have found some big families in Shangzhou to donate. In terms of the name, there are naturally many. Then the number of donations that comes slightly moved, and the needs of the young master will come out."

Li Ze laughed loudly, lowered his voice and said, "It turned out to be blackmailed."

"Young Master doesn't like it?"

"I like it so hard." Li Ze said: "To damage the excess and make up for the deficiency is the way of heaven."

The two looked at each other and smiled, sympathizing with each other.

Of course, Tu Lichun and others were responsible for the materials entering the warehouse. Xia He saw that the warehouse that only went out every day was finally filled with a tendency to be filled again. He had a small face and a smile as if she was as beautiful as a flower. He had an account book and a brush in the other hand, and was very busy.

After walking into the house and finishing the revelation, a cup of hot tea swept away the cold air around him, Wang Mingyi's face suddenly became less relaxed than outside.

"I originally thought that I would go to Lu Long for a few trips next spring, but the situation became increasingly urgent and the border blocks were no longer compatible, so this line is basically abandoned now." Wang Mingyi frowned and said, "The things that the young master wants will not be in in a short time, especially horses. Now, as long as the animals are seen, they will be requisitioned, let alone horses."

"Didn't you say there is at least one year's buffer period?" Li Ze's news was limited after all, and it was far less informed than Wang Mingyi.

"Zhang Zhongwu's killing of Yang Zishi has touched the final bottom line of the court. This is no different from raising flags and rebelling." Wang Mingyi shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect that Zhang Zhongwu was so domineering that he did not leave any face for the court."

"I'm determined to fight!" Li Ze said unhappily. For him, the later the war breaks out, the better.

Wang Mingyi nodded, "The emperor wanted to fight, and the Secretary of the Central Secretariat Wang Shu supported it, but the Minister of the State Secretariat Tian Lingzi still wanted to work harder. The Secretary of the State Secretariat Chen Bi was also cautious. After a debate, the court took a compromise plan."

"How can this be compromised? Fight first and then get comfort?" Li Ze was a little puzzled.

"The court has issued an order to grant Zhang Zhongwu the title of General Huaihua, the third rank, and the title of Minister of the Secretariat, to the court's major affairs." Wang Mingyi said, "At this time, the person who announced the imperial edict is about to arrive in Lu Long?"

Li Ze shook his head: "If Zhang Zhongwu promised, he would have seen a ghost. He left Lu Long and left his army. He was a piece of meat on the court's felt board. He would chop him whenever he wanted. A Huaihua General, who was useless!"

"Who said no?" Wang Mingyi slapped his thigh and said, "So everyone knows that this is just the last disc of the court, and everyone is still preparing for the war closely. This time the court has been ruthless. According to reliable information, the court has been preparing to appoint General Guide Chen Bang to convene the left and right guards to come."

"Ah!" Li Ze was really surprised this time. "Isn't it led by Gao Pian, the governor of Hedong? Another Chen Bangzhao comes. Whoever listens to whom? And if all the guards on the left and right are all assigned, how can the food and grass logistics of tens of thousands of troops be dealt with?"

"The court naturally considered this point. The reason why he chose Chen Bangzhao was because Chen Bangzhao was once Gao Pian's old subordinate. There was no problem of mutual trust in command. The supply of food and grass naturally depends on the local area. However, as far as I know, whether it is Zhenwu, Henghai, or our Chengde, it is impossible for this army to bear the burden of food and grass, and to collect labor service."

"Then it's all up to Gao Pian. Can he hold it?" Li Zexin said that this is the normal manifestation of this era. The court's binding force on local areas is actually quite low.

"Gao Pian can support him even if he grits his teeth." Wang Mingyi spread his hands, "But his family alone can't afford it at all, so in the end, there will be at least one guard on the left and right, and there will be no more than 10,000 people."

"Ten thousand soldiers are also very good. For Gao Pian, he gritted his teeth and resisted it. On the battlefield, these ten thousand soldiers are extremely threatening to Zhang Zhongwu." Li Ze said.

"You're thinking too much." Wang Mingyi shook his head and said, "The army that can be fought now is basically concentrated in the hands of major military governors. The imperial court can only recruit guards from the capital, and the combat effectiveness is probably worrying, but their equipment is excellent, and no military governor's army can compare with them."

"After all, the old foundation is still there, and the officer is still there. After a few battles, they will be trained." Li Ze touched his bare chin and pondered: "We Chengde, aren't we worried?"

Wang Mingyi looked at Li Ze, his eyes full of surprise. Li Ze's casual words really reached the point, but the problem that he had never thought about was still something that he understood after being reminded by me. How could Li Ze, a fifteen-year-old boy, point the key to the problem to the point?

Looking at Wang Mingyi's surprised gaze, Li Ze asked strangely: "What's wrong with you? Is this question ridiculous and stupid?"
