5,000 of them began to grow grain in the wasteland not far from North Glacier Town.
That piece of barren land was different from the fertile land in the lower reaches of the Northern Ice River. The growth rate of food was not as high.
The remaining 5,000 would be secretly transported to the fertile soil downstream of North Glacier Town for planting.
The reason why they were mixed was that Li Yueming didn’t want the specific amount of grain produced in North Glacier Town to be exposed to everyone.
The amount of grain planted in the wasteland near North Glacier Town was obvious.
It was about 600 to 700 pounds.
It was slightly higher than the ordinary land yield of the Northlanders, but it was not too high.
At that time, he only needed to block the fertile land downstream of the Northern Ice River and not let anyone approach it. After the harvest was completed, he would announce the grain production.
At least in the short term, there shouldn’t be any problem of being exposed.
Among the remaining 40,000 refugees, 10,000 were old, weak, sick, and disabled.
In other words, there was still 30,000 left.
Li Yueming once again dispatched 20,000 young adults to the Northern Ice River to harvest.
The ancients were most particular about relying on the mountain to eat the mountain and the sea to eat the sea.
Don’t underestimate this river. Because it was close to the Shiwan Mountains, the fishing resources in it were extremely rich. Every September, a large number of salmon would swim back.
When there were the most salamanders, there was no water in the entire river.
The surface of the river was filled with fish.
As long as the fishing industry was mature enough, it would not be a problem for this river to feed 300,000 people.
The reason why they sent out 20,000 strong laborers to harvest was because they were not afraid of being caught.
Naturally, it was because the amount of food in Northern Ice River Town could no longer support it.
Farming and transporting grain required time.
However, he didn’t need to fish. He just needed to weave some hemp rope into a net.
The caught fish were directly thrown into a ceramic pot and boiled into fish soup.
The refugees who had jobs lined up to drink first.
It could solve an urgent problem.
Finally, there were 10,000 people who were selected by Li Yueming.
It was directly expanded to become the 1st Battalion of the 1st Infantry Division of the Starmoon Troop.
The first mission he received was to follow the cavalry unit and repair houses for the people who had no place to live.
As for the remaining 10,000 old, weak, sick, and disabled people, they were responsible for doing some ch.o.r.es.
For example, the hemp rope used to weave fishing nets.
For example, cooking for the strong laborers…
A year and a half ago, Li Yueming announced that he would accept refugees to take refuge in Northern Glacier Town.
The population of the entire Northern Ice River rose in a straight line.
Originally, everyone in Northern Ice River Town, including the Starmoon Troop, thought that there would be a huge commotion.
However, they did not expect Li Yueming to have more political experience than they had imagined.
No matter how many people came at the same time, he could digest them in the shortest time possible and immediately put them into production.
This made many people dumbfounded.
Was General Li really a full-time expert?
Was there anything in this world that he didn’t know?
Of course, no matter what happens,
It was beneficial for them to have more people in North Glacier Town.
After all, the Star Moon Army was currently stationed here. The bigger North Glacier Town was, the more successful the Star Moon Army would be!
For a time, the entire Northern Ice River Town was bustling with activity.
There were shouts everywhere, completely different from the cold and quiet in the past.
This was the power of population.
No matter which world it was, people who were as lowly as ants were often the most inconspicuous.
But in the end, no matter how powerful those experts were, they would still be able to fight back.
However, he still could not ignore their existence.
Li Yueming was taking in refugees in North Glacier Town, while the Qin army was taking advantage of the situation in other places in the north.
Occasionally, there would be conflicts between the two sides.
However, most of the time, there was a subtle tacit understanding.
The leader of the 150,000 Qin soldiers was the Great General of the Qin army, Meng Tian.
There were two princes with the army, the First Prince and the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince had been in charge of the invasion of the Northern Lands from beginning to end.
But now, the First Prince had suddenly appeared and taken away a portion of the Ninth Prince’s power.
It was obvious that the Ninth Prince had been affected by this.
However, this was normal.
After all, Li Yueming had interfered with the Ninth Prince’s mission in the Extreme Cold Snow Mountain.
As a result, the Qin army’s original plan of a full-scale invasion failed, and they could only send a small group of troops to hara.s.s them. Under such circ.u.mstances, it was normal for the First Prince to seize a portion of power.
Of course, this was not important to Li Yueming.
Li Yueming would occasionally lead the Star Moon Troop out to fight the Qin army.
However, most of the time, they could only intercept a small number of units. After flashing the Star Moon Army’s flag, they casually attacked and then let the Qin army ride away.
This was what Li Yueming and the Ninth Prince had agreed upon on the extremely cold snow mountain.
Li Yueming would think of a way to help the Ninth Prince seize the throne of the State of Oin. and the Ninth Prince would also need to cooperate with Li
Yueming.
The Ninth Prince was already at a disadvantage in the battle for the crown prince.
Therefore, even though he didn’t have much hope for Li Yueming’s explanation, he didn’t reject it directly.
After all, what if?
He had coveted that supreme throne for a long time.
As long as he could climb up to that position, it was worth it no matter how many sacrifices he had to make.
Therefore, after following the army into the north, the Ninth Prince contacted Li Yueming using the secret code.
The purpose was to make Li Yueming attack his half-brother, the First Prince, so as to weaken the First Prince’s influence in the army.
The 150,000 Qin troops that invaded the Great Zhou were divided into two factions.
As a general, Meng Tian did not partic.i.p.ate in the battle for the crown prince.
Standing in the middle and not helping anyone, he was like a referee.
The Ninth Prince’s faction was the Left Forward Strike Battalion, while the First Prince’s faction was the Right Forward Strike Battalion.
Currently, the Ninth Prince’s faction was weak in the army.
After all, the First Prince was older and had more prestige in the army. Seventy percent of the 150,000 troops were supporters of the First Prince.
The number of supporters of the Ninth Prince was less than 30%, including some who were wavering.
If they followed the normal procedure, the Ninth Prince would definitely lose this battle.
The Ninth Prince, who was unwilling to accept failure, naturally had to think of ways to go through some abnormal procedures.
Li Yueming naturally had no reason to refuse.
He had played so many chess pieces between the Great Zhou and Great Qin in order to be sandwiched between the Great Zhou and Great Qin.
