"Yuantu, do you think this is OK? We can collect grain from those aristocratic families, let them open their own granaries, and take out their own money to help the people!" Yuan Shao said.

"No!" Feng Ji quickly denied Yuan Shao's idea.

"Why?" Yuan Shao was puzzled.

"The aristocratic families are deeply rooted and cannot be shaken with our current strength! If you are not careful, it will cause rebellion from the aristocratic families, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" Feng Ji explained.

"That's all!" Yuan Shao's face showed a ferocious look, "Stop distributing relief food and let the people die!"

"My lord think twice, this is absolutely absolutely impossible!" Feng Ji said.

"Hmph! A bunch of untouchables, it doesn't matter! Just ask me to do it! Just say we have no food! Those who have been distributed have been saved so that they can save money!" Yuan Shao snorted coldly.

"This..." Feng Ji hesitated, but seeing Yuan Shao's intentions in his own way, Feng Ji could only agree! "Yes, I'll do it now!"

Feng Ji left, Yuan Shao smiled slightly and muttered to himself self-righteously: "Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng, you should have done this too, right?"

...

Yuan Shao stopped distributing relief grain! As soon as the news came out, the people under Yuan Shao's rule were immediately in anger, and the people in the affected areas of Bingzhou and Jizhou were even more angry.

"Why should we stop supplying food? How can we survive like this?!"

"That's right, Yuan Shao is killing us?"

"Yuan Shao! Let's have an explanation!"

...

This is how the people are. What they care about is not who is the emperor today, nor who is under their rule. What they care about is whether they can eat and wear well. Now that Yuan Shao does this, it is tantamount to driving them out of Jizhou.

"Let me say, you don't know. In Liaodong, their people are also suffering from disasters, but Zhao Feng, the Marquis of Liaodong, has been distributing food and grass. As long as you have no food at home, you can go to the prefectures and county governments to collect it! Let's clean up now and go to Liaodong! Although it's a little far away, it's better than starving to death!"

"Where did you get this news?"

"Hehe, the nephew of my third aunt's fourth aunt's son is a bun shop in Xiangping City, Liaodong! The news he sent to me!"

"If that's true, then we'll go!"

"Yes! Let's go!"

"Let's go back and pack up!"

...

As soon as the news came out, the people responded, went home to pack their things, and headed towards Liaodong in groups, looking like the future generations of the Guandong. The scene was extremely spectacular!

"Lord, I won't remember it anymore, but the big thing is wrong!" After receiving the news that the people left Bingzhou and Jizhou one after another, Feng Ji hurried to Yuan Shao's mansion.

"What's wrong? Why are you so panicked?" Yuan Shao asked with a frown.

"Because we stopped supplying food, the people have packed their bags and left our army's rule!" Feng Ji said breathlessly.

"What...what!!" Yuan Shao was shocked. He never expected that this would happen!

"The people have left our army's rule! It will be too late if we don't stop it!" Feng Ji said anxiously.

"Hurry up! Close the city gates and strictly guard the junction between our army and Liaodong. We cannot let our people go to Liaodong!" Yuan Shao immediately ordered.

"Yes!" Although I knew this method was inappropriate, it seemed that this method was the only one at the moment. Feng Ji nodded helplessly and retreated.

...

On this side, Zhao Feng has returned to Xiangping City for some days, and everything is going steadily. Of course, as the people in Bingzhou said, Liaodong is indeed opening warehouses and releasing grain, but basically no people come to collect grain, because the people all know that there should be not much surplus grain in Liaodong. Zhao Feng can still open warehouses and releasing grain in this generous manner, which only shows that Zhao Feng is a benevolent monarch who knows it!

The most important thing is that every household in Liaodong basically has surplus grain, so Zhao Feng's policy of releasing grain was optional for them. At that time, the people were simple and there were almost no people who were greedy for small gains.

"Lord, something big happened!" While Zhao Feng was having tea in the house, Guo Jia came to the prefect's mansion.

"Oh? What important information does Fengxiao have? Could it be that he came to Feng to cheat and drink, right?" Zhao Feng joked.

"Lord! In your eyes, is Jia like this?" Guo Jia said with a bitter face.

"Well, it's true!" Zhao Feng looked up and down at Guo Jia, nodding meaningfully.

"..." Guo Jia looked at Zhao Feng speechlessly.

"Haha! Okay, something big happened! Let's talk about it!" Zhao Feng laughed loudly and then turned serious.

"Yes! Yuan Shao has stopped releasing food due to insufficient money and food in the treasury!" Guo Jia nodded, but he only explained half of the information!

"Oh? It's like this? Yuan Benchu ​​is afraid he doesn't know. The people are fighting in war. In this way, Yuan Benchu's people's hearts have been lost. What should he fight against us?" Zhao Feng raised his eyebrows, and his tone was mixed with a little disdain.

"Lord, there is another more exciting news. Do you want to hear it?" Guo Jia began to imitate Zhao Feng's appearance and aroused Zhao Feng's appetite.

"If you want to say it, just say it. If you don't say it, I'll ask Mr. Zhongde!" Zhao Feng gave Guo Jia a blank look. This guy actually played with him some tricks!

"Okay! Jia surrendered!" Guo Jia didn't expect Zhao Feng to say this, and he raised the white flag in desperation. "That's right, after Yuan Shao stopped releasing food, the people under his rule were dissatisfied. Many people have left their hometowns to join us in Liaodong!"

"What?!!" Zhao Feng was overjoyed and asked Guo Jia in disbelief, "Are you saying true?"

"Well, it is reported that from yesterday to now, more than 50,000 people from Bingzhou and Jizhou have flocked to our army to rule!" Guo Jia's tone was also a little excited.

"Hahaha! OK! Since Yuan Shao digs his own grave, don't blame me for being ruthless. Notify the border defense generals and let them pay attention to the border situation at any time. We must ensure that the people arrive safely under our army! Moreover, let them pay attention to Yuan Shao's reaction. I guess Yuan Shao should order the city gate to close! If necessary, you can send troops directly and introduce the people to our Liaodong rule!" Zhao Feng ordered.

"Yes! I understand!" Guo Jia nodded, "But lord, we still need to pay attention to a little bit."

"What's the problem?" Zhao Feng was puzzled.

"It is the spy who poured into our Liaodong people, and it is hard to guarantee that they would not get into other princes!" Guo Jia said with some concern.

"In this way, let the Jinyiwei cooperate fully, record all the people newly under our army's rule and monitor them closely. If there is any evil behavior, take them down immediately!" Zhao Feng thought for a while and ordered.

"Yes! I'll do it now!" Guo Jia also thought that Zhao Feng's method was feasible, so he turned around and left the prefect's mansion without delay.
