The Wuyuan County Magistrate stood opposite Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo owed his body slightly, stared into his eyes and asked, "Are you sure the merchant has found it and has also been sent out?"

"It's very certain." said the county magistrate: "They are familiar with Hetao, and it's easier to find the Xiongnu royal court than the scouts of the army."

"I sent Huo Wu but couldn't find it. Could it be that the merchants are more capable than Huo Wu?" Cao Shu shook his head and expressed his disbelief.

"Young Master doesn't know anything." The county magistrate replied, "Although I don't know what Huo Wu's ability is, they are not familiar with Hetao after all. On the contrary, merchants travel around the world without any informative information, and they won't have much profit in business. The more desolate they are, the more they must know where to find the place to sell goods, otherwise all the goods will be smashed into their hands?"

The county magistrate said something very reasonable. Cao Shuo curled his lips and asked, "How long will it take for them to send back news about the Xiongnu royal court?"

"At least one month, at most two or three months." said the county magistrate: "Don't worry, young master, they will definitely be able to bring back the position of the Xiongnu royal court."

"One month to two or three months," Cao Shu said: "Spring has just arrived. Although I have left some time for the soldiers, I can't delay that long. After three or two months of getting the news, it has already entered summer. Before we can launch an offensive, autumn has arrived again. As long as autumn enters, no matter how far we fight, it will not be possible to stabilize the results. I don't want the soldiers to delay in Wuyuan for another year."

The county magistrate lowered his head and did not dare to say anything again.

"You have someone send a message to those merchants. I will give them ten days. If anyone can bring back the position of the Xiongnu royal court within ten days, when our army captures the Great Khan of the Xiongnu, I will allow him to have business dealings with Lingyun Pavilion." Cao Shu said to the county magistrate.

He had his head down, but heard that he could have something to do with Lingyun Pavilion by finding the Xiongnu Royal Court, so the county magistrate quickly raised his head.

There is no Lingyun Pavilion in Wuyuan, but Lingyun Pavilion is very famous.

Especially merchants who come and go, they often enjoy it when talking about Lingyun Pavilion.

How many merchants’ dream is to have business dealings with Lingyun Pavilion?

The county magistrate had no doubt that as long as the news spread, someone would probably find the Xiongnu royal court within ten days.

"I'll make arrangements now." The county magistrate took the order and retreated.

When he went out, he happened to run into Lu Bu.

He bowed and gave a big gift to Lu Bu, and the county magistrate greeted him: "General Lu!"

Lu Bu bowed casually: "What are the county magistrates going to do?"

"I just got the order of the young master and asked someone to go to the Xiongnu royal court." The Wuyuan County Magistrate replied and said to Lu Bu: "I'll take my leave first!"

Lu Bu nodded and watched the county magistrate leave.

He turned around and stood at the door: "Lu Bu asked to see the young master."

"General Lu, please come in." Cao Shuo's voice came from the room.

When he entered the room, Lu Bu saw Cao Shu sitting in the room looking up something.

"I've seen the young master." He clasped his fists and bowed.

Cao Shuo looked up at him and said, "General Lu is exempted from courtesy. What important thing is there to see me?"

"It's nothing important," Lu Bu said: "I just want to ask the young master, there are so many Hun women in Wuyuan City, how do you plan to resettle them in the future?"

"The population of Wuyuan is not large and is close to Hetao. The Huns' women stay here. If they have children in the future, they may have some involvement with the Huns. I don't want what they do today to become a hidden danger in the future." Cao Shuo said: "Huns' women must bring them back to the Central Plains and find them to marry."

"Have you ever thought that when we return to the Central Plains, we have to pass through the Yuan family's territory?" Lu Bu said: "If the Yuan family intercepts and kills them halfway, these women will be burdens."

"I know." Cao Shu said: "After years of war, the population of Central Plains is not large. A man can marry many women, and even make many women pregnant. However, a woman can only give birth to one child within a certain period of time. In order to make the population grow faster, I have no other way."

"The population of Huainan and other places is far greater than that of other places, and there are many new children. Does the young master still feel that it is not enough?" Lu Bu was stunned.

"Of course not enough." Cao Shuo said: "A county, such a large territory, only a few hundred thousand people are counted, and there are even hundreds of thousands of people in some places. General Lu thinks this situation is normal?"

Lu Bu didn't say anything.

Since he followed Ding Jianyang to the Central Plains, it seems that the population in various places has not been too large.

All the population is concentrated in the Yellow Turban thieves.

The court took measures against the Yellow Turban thieves to catch one and kill another, and the population dropped sharply.

Of course, Lu Bu has no idea about the population.

"There are too few Han people, so they will be bullied." Cao Shuo said: "In my opinion, there is not a tens of millions of people in a county, which is not suitable for a county with such a large territory."

Lu Bu was stunned.

Compared with the 300,000 or 500,000 people today, tens of millions of people are simply an unimaginable number...

According to Cao Shu's expectations, how much pressure should men have to be under where he controls...

Although local governments have enjoyed everything from beginning to end when giving birth to children, there is no need for the people to worry or burden.

Every time you have one more child, you can not only receive corresponding rewards from the government, but also add another labor force to the family when the child grows up, which is extremely cost-effective for any family.

"Actually, I just don't quite understand why the young master left the Huns." Lu Bu said: "You know, the child they gave birth to was still half the Huns..."

"Growing up in the Central Plains and being influenced by the Central Plains, are their children still from the Central Plains?" Cao Shu smiled slightly: "When their children grow up and marry the Han children, the next generation that will give birth to only one-quarter of the Huns' blood. After this, there will be no Huns in the Central Plains in just a few generations."

"Does General Lu think that killing must be used to exterminate a nation?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I don't understand this very much. Please forgive me for your sins." Lu Bu responded.

"If I want to exterminate the Huns, I cannot rely on killing." Cao Shuo said: "What we can rely on is integration to allow the Huns to completely integrate into us. After several generations, there will be no Huns in the world!"

Cao Shuo's explanation made Lu Bu understand.

He said to Cao Shuo: "I understand what the young master said. The Hun women came to the Central Plains and only gave birth to children for our men in the Central Plains. The more women, the more children they were born under the rule of the young master. In more than ten or twenty years, if you look at the world, the only one who can summon a million troops will be able to gather."

"General Lu finally understood." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Lu Bu: "Those Xiongnu women were given to General Lu for their care first, and no one was allowed to harm them. Except for not allowing them to walk around at will, they must provide sufficient food and drink. Before returning to the Central Plains, no one is allowed to have sex with them privately."
