94. Problem solving
Ye Feiyu couldn't have thought that a young woman would say this, but it is difficult to explain the soul. Even on the current earth and those who advocate science in the West are studying whether the soul really exists and are talking about near-death experiences. Maybe this woman is like this, and she has hallucinations on the verge of death.
More and more people fell to the ground and were reluctant to get up for a long time. At this moment, they all became brainless fans of the Golden Wolf Immortal Master. No, they should be said to be the most devout believer.
The power of faith is extremely terrifying. Ye Feiyu could not have imagined that doing so would result in this effect. Later, a hundred elite soldiers selected from more than 10,000 refugees from here participated in the guardian warrior game test, and three guardian warriors were released, with an unbelievable proportion.
Ma Dingyuan and others respectfully welcomed Ye Feiyu into Fort Mingwei.
The number of people in the Thousand Households in Fort Minway exceeds the standard, but this place is located in a remote place and not many people pay attention to it.
Now the situation is chaotic, and those who are capable are increasing their strength in training private troops. Even the number of border troops, private troops and servants is extremely large. No matter how poor they are, they will not be able to lose their servants. Just like Ma Dingyuan now, with more than 100 personal soldiers, it is actually his private soldiers, which is an important reason why he has absolute power in the land of Fort Minway.
In the history of the earth, only twelve or three years have passed since the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Although the literary and nobles and martial arts still exist, they are far inferior to before. Generals like Zu Dashou did not even listen to Chongzhen's orders. Chongzhen announced that he would never miss Chongzhen when he returned to Beijing many times, but Chongzhen could not do anything to him.
In the past, how could Zhang Wencheng dare to suggest that Ma Dingyuan instigate refugees and loot the gentry of Jiaozhou? He also said that if there was anything, the soldiers would rebel. This also revealed the mentality of many generals, and they had less awe of the Ming Dynasty's officials.
However, there are also many people who are loyal to the imperial court, such as Lu Xiangsheng, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty.
Ma Dingyuan, a thousand-family family, was very awe of Ye Feiyu, let alone other military households. Zhang Wencheng, who originally said that Ye Feiyu could not give kindness for no reason and must have something to do, was the same. His eyes were full of awe at Ye Feiyu. Of course, at this time, they still didn't know what Ye Feiyu's appearance in the Ming Dynasty meant to this crumbling empire.
Although Fort Mingwei is located in a remote location, Ma Dingyuan's mansion, or official residence, is still good. Although it is a bit old, it covers at least the area of most luxury villas, a mansion worth tens of thousands of square meters, a lobby for military reception, a martial arts training ground for private soldiers, a back house where family members live, and a residence for servants, etc.
However, the area of the Thousand Houses of Minway Fort Minway is also very large, including a large area of mountains and forests outside, with a total of more than 80 square kilometers. The Minway Fort Minway, built on the mountain alone, is nearly ten square kilometers.
There are three small military forts under the Mingwei Fort, but they are all in the mountains and forests. Each military fort has only twenty or thirty military households, mainly monitoring the surrounding movements. Sometimes Japanese pirates will bypass Fujian and land from here, but there are not many. After all, this is not a wealthy place such as Quanzhou and Yangzhou in Fujian. As for whether it is a real Japanese, no one can say. There are also many Ming pirates pretending to be Japanese pirates.
After entering Ma Dingyuan's mansion, Ma Dingyuan left only five hundred households, let his personal soldiers disperse, and personally gave Ye Feiyu a tea specially used to entertain Shangguan, he bowed and smiled and said, "I don't know what the Immortal Master is called? Ma offended many times before, so I hope the Immortal Master will forgive me."
In front of Ye Feiyu, an immortal master with great powers, Ma Dingyuan naturally did not dare to call himself an adult
Ye Feiyu smiled and said, "I am also a person from the Ming Dynasty. My surname is Ye. Just call me Xianshi Ye."
Ma Dingyuan said in a voice: "Ma is having a headache about how to solve the problem of refugees outside the fort. Fortunately, Master Ye has arrived and has great compassion and given food to live the people. He has great merits."
He paused for a moment, hesitated a little, but continued: "However, the immortal master gave them food, and they saved some food, which could only support three or four days. Other refugees heard that the immortal master had distributed food. More refugees may come here in the future. I wonder what the immortal master plans?"
Speaking of this, Ma Dingyuan looked a little embarrassed: "To be honest, our Fort Mingwei, there are only less than 500 stones left in our Fort Mingwei. Even if he is willing to help these refugees, he is still powerless."
Ye Feiyu gave each refugee about half a pound of rice. It was estimated that they could eat for a day. Unexpectedly, Ma Dingyuan said that they could survive for three or four days. But thinking about it, these refugees were afraid of hunger and had some food, so they were reluctant to finish it all at once. Eating one or two rice every day would make their lives suffocate.
He pondered: "This is exactly what I want to say. Even if my magic power is boundless, it is impossible to make endless changes to produce food. Ma Qianhu thinks how can we completely solve the refugee problem?"
Ma Dingyuan felt that Master Ye’s speech was a bit strange. Generally speaking, he did not often call himself “I”. For example, when Ma Dingyuan met his subordinates or other people, he was used to calling himself an adult, a thousand household, or a Shangguan, he called himself a lower official, etc. People with different identities in the Ming Dynasty had different names and could be regarded as saying things about people and saying things about ghosts.
However, he could only attribute it to the habit of the gods in the upper realm. After hearing Ye Feiyu's inquiry, he said helplessly: "In recent years, disasters have been constant, either drought or ice damage. In Laizhou and Dengzhou, the grain production was extremely low, and many people starved to death. Now Kong Youde's soldiers are in chaos, burning, killing and looting all the way, which has made the people displaced. It is difficult! It is difficult! It is difficult! It is difficult!"
He said three difficult words in a row, obviously feeling that it is impossible to solve this problem.
Even Chongzhen couldn't solve it. What was his small thousand-household family? If he could solve the problem, he would be fine if he joined the cabinet and became the prime minister.
Ye Feiyu could hear from Ma Dingyuan's tone that he was disdainful of Kong Youde and those rebel soldiers. The entire Dengzhou and most of Laizhou subdued Kong Youde. This Mingwei Fort Ma Dingyuan can still maintain independence, and even provide porridge to save people when refugees arrive, making him his spokesperson in Dengzhou. After all, Ye Feiyu cannot stay here forever, and Dengzhou must be handed over to others for treatment.
The current refugee wave is a good time for Ye Fei to wipe the reputation of the natives.
He smiled and said, "I heard that you say, it is not difficult to solve the refugee problem."
When Zhang Wencheng was a child, he went to a private school and realized that he had many plans. However, his background was not good. His father was a military household, so he could only go on this path. He finally got appreciated by Ma Dingyuan. After killing the enemy, he became a hundred households.
Hearing Ye Feiyu say this, he couldn't help but mutter secretly, I'm afraid that the only one of the Immortal Master Ye dares to say that it's not difficult to solve the refugee wave, especially when the Ming Dynasty is in famine, there are Jiannu invasions, and there are hungry people everywhere. However, thinking of Ye Feiyu's great power to change food out of thin air and bring back the dead, he dared not say any sarcastic words.
Ma Dingyuan also asked suspiciously: "Isn't it difficult to solve the problem of refugees? There are estimated to be 150,000 or 10,000 refugees in Dengzhou and Laizhou, which is a huge number!"
Although Dengzhou and Laizhou were remote and barren, the population was large at all. Dengzhou alone has recorded in the history of the earth. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the population of Dengzhou increased significantly. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there were 87,443 households and 881,371 people. After that, the population quickly exceeded one million.
Even if we have a population of 880,000, plus the population of 800,000 in Laizhou, a total of 1.7 million, the 150,000 and 60,000 refugees mentioned by Ma Dingyuan are still relatively conservative estimates!
Ye Feiyu smiled and said, "Kong Youde's military chaos, just solve him. When I transplant some high-yield, drought-resistant grain crops, there will be no longer any food shortage. Since I have arrived here, people in Dengzhou and Laizhou will not be troubled by hunger."
Ma Dingyuan opened his mouth wide and said for a long time: "Shi Ye may not know anything. Kong Youde's eight thousand soldiers changed, and he rushed from Wuqiao to Laizhou and Dengzhou, and arranged many troops. In addition, some troops were strong with the military and civilians. I'm afraid there were more than 10,000 or 20,000 subordinates. Even if the officials wanted to suppress the rebellion..."
Although Ye Feiyu has the incomparable magical power to revive the dead and change food, Ma Dingyuan did not think that Ye Feiyu could deal with Kong Youde's troops with an immortal. If the immortal was really so powerful, it would have been better for the Zhu family to sit on the throne.
In fact, Ma Dingyuan is not wrong. With Ye Feiyu's current strength, it is difficult for a person to fight against an army of 20,000. After all, his energy shield requires energy consumption. Even if he uses tanks, he may be destroyed in the face of the artillery fire of the army.
However, plane merchants will naturally not rely solely on their own strength to do things, otherwise high-level colonists will not have to issue tasks, control low-level colonists, nor will they have to cultivate their own guardian warriors to help fight.
Ye Feiyu laughed: "It's not that I can't deal with Kong Youde's 20,000 army, but it's just too hard. In fact, there is no need to face the 20,000 army, and eliminate Kong Youde's core troops and subordinates. If Ma Qianhu is willing, I can provide powerful weapons and armor, and only one or two hundred people can completely kill Kong Youde."
He paused: "I said that Dengzhou and Laizhou are mine, but I won't be here often. I definitely need someone else to help me manage these two places. Maybe Ma Qianhu can help me."
As he said that, Ye Feiyu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ma Dingyuan.
Ma Dingyuan's face changed. He didn't understand what Ye Feiyu meant. He clearly wanted to replace Kong Youde and occupy Laizhou, Dengzhou and become a kingdom independent of the Ming Dynasty! But he didn't expect that Ye Feiyu's appetite was not only for Dengzhou and Laizhou.
