Although Chen Jie said he was burning grain today, he actually intends to use a trick to secretly transport the grain away.
Two million piculs of grain, enough to solve the current grain shortage in Huangzhou Prefecture, and allow those who have become refugees to return to their fields and become farmers again.
Otherwise, given the current scenario of ten empty houses in Huangzhou Prefecture, even if Chen Jie could become the master of Huangzhou Prefecture, there would be no citizens, and thus no source of troops or taxes.
If all these are absent, wouldn't Chen Jie be a commander without an army?
Therefore, Chen Jie not only has to win this battle to defend Huangzhou Prefecture but also has to ensure that all the citizens are safely sent home to continue serving him like cattle and horses.
Living in peace and working happily, providing him with troops and food!
