After taking office as the county lieutenant, Gao Cheng acted resolutely, and immediately sent Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao out of the city to exterminate the bandits in Huai'an.

In less than a day, Jiang Qin and Pei Yuanshao led people to break into the mountains and forests, captured all the bandits on the two hills, and beheaded the thieves, and the other bandits were shocked and did not dare to make the slightest movement for a while.

Under Gao Cheng's order, the two generals under his command attacked continuously and swept away the bandits in the entire county. The captured captives were a little difficult to deal with, and the county commander Huang Zun did not want to let these people go easily, nor did he want to kill all these people with blood on his hands. There is no good solution for a while.

In the end, Gao Cheng discussed with him, and simply arranged these captives and the many displaced people who came to Huai'an, and directly arranged all these people to the farms outside the city.

The 20,000 acres of land outside are being cultivated by a lack of manpower, and there is also a small ore vein in Huai'an, which produces iron. The captured bandits were all arranged to work as miners in the mines, and the iron ore mined could also be used to make weapons.

After this action, the territory of Huai'an suddenly became much cleaner, the bandits disappeared, and the people's hearts gradually stabilized. Gao Cheng's reputation became louder and louder with this action to suppress bandits and people.

In the world of the Three Kingdoms, a good reputation has a very big role, Liu Bei was born poor, and he had no soldiers and no money in his hands, but with a good reputation, there were constantly generals who took the initiative to vote, and the Mi family even donated all his family business to help him succeed.

If Liu Bei's reputation is not big, he will definitely not be able to create the foundation of Shu Han.

After the county border was stabilized, Gao Cheng suddenly became extremely idle, except for occasionally dealing with paperwork, he began to practice innate skills. After reaching the transcendent realm, this technique is gradually absorbing the innate vitality between heaven and earth, slowly changing his physical body.

Let his strength, spiritual power, and true qi continue to be purified and increased.

"The first weight of refining the Gang realm is the Gang Qi realm, and the first weight of refining the soul is to nourish the soul with qi! This stage of cultivation is all water grinding work, and only when the Gang Qi and spiritual strength reach the limit of the physical body can they advance to the next level! The innate skill integrates the essence of the three exercises, and it is also at this stage at this time!"

Gao Cheng now has no enemies around him and has plenty of time, so he is patient and continues to accumulate strength. While he was cultivating silently, a large amount of goods hidden in Baima Lake began to be loaded onto merchant ships, passed through the Huai River, turned into Surabaya, and came to the Mi family's treasury in Xiapi City......

The tens of millions of dollars of goods could not be quickly digested with the strength of the Mi clan, and it took three months to transport these things to Luoyang and Jizhou, and sell them to those families who did not suffer much loss.

The goods continued to dwindle, turning into a steady stream of five-baht coins, and with these wealth, Gao Cheng had the capital to collect the displaced people and open mines to make iron. Constantly accumulating strength, and along with the fight against bandits, in addition to 300 elite soldiers, he also trained 300 county warriors. Of course, these county warriors did not practice the exercises, and their strength was far inferior to Gao Cheng's family soldiers.

Time passed slowly, more and more displaced people poured in from the west and north, and when the Huai'an Sun clan saw what Gao Cheng was doing, they also recruited displaced people, reclaimed the wasteland, and barely gave these people a bite to eat.

The displaced people who came to Huai'an can still live, while the displaced people in other places are in dire straits, and more and more displaced people are pouring in Xuzhou and Qingzhou and Yanzhou, but most of the wealthy families are only sweeping the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on the tiles of others.

In an increasingly chaotic world, the first thing they need to preserve is their own inheritance. Of course, he will not consume his own strength in vain to help the homeless people he has never met.

In their view, it is the duty of the government to pacify the displaced people.

Gao Cheng is in Huai'an City, but through his own merchant ships, he continues to collect intelligence from other places, and after knowing this situation, he secretly shook his head in his heart, but unfortunately he is not Guangling Taishou, let alone Xuzhou Thorn History. Otherwise, they would have acted a long time ago, and they would never have watched the homeless starve to death or become bandits.

In the troubled times, in addition to grain and grass, the most precious thing is manpower, a large population means a rich heritage, whether it is a source of soldiers or money and food, in fact, it is collected from ordinary people.

The more displaced people there were, the weaker the power of the Han Dynasty. Gao Cheng can see this, and those wise ministers can naturally see it. It's just that things in the court are complicated, and there may be a lot of trade-offs and exchanges behind a small thing.

Even if some ministers are willing to go to the table, after going through the procedures of the court, two or three months have passed. And at this time, the biggest enemy of the Han Dynasty was the Yellow Turban Thief. The forces of the entire dynasty were suppressing the Taiping, whether it was the emperor or the ministers, and in their opinion, the affairs of the exiles were secondary. After the yellow scarf is destroyed, it can naturally be easily solved.

......

At the end of the year, suddenly a news spread throughout the Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao of Taiping Dao continued to consume his life to use powerful spells when he was fighting with the imperial army, summoning thunder and wind, and killing countless court soldiers.

Without Zhang Jiao's powerful spell that shook the heavens and the earth, the Yellow Turban soldiers in Jizhou suddenly couldn't resist Huangfu Song's Sanhe cavalry, and were killed by hundreds of thousands, and countless Yellow Turban thieves were scattered. At this time, Zhu Jun also pacified the Nanyang Yellow Turban.

The Taiping Road Uprising, which could almost shake the Han Dynasty, was finally suppressed. However, as Gao Cheng expected, a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers and many heroes who took refuge in Taiping Dao for the sake of the exercises poured towards the land of Qingxu.

In order to exterminate the remnants of the thieves, a celebrity was appointed as the assassin of Xuzhou, sitting in Xiapi, preparing to exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban thieves.

"I don't know which celebrity it is?"

In the county government of Huai'an, Gao Cheng and Huang Zun were idle, warming a pot of wine, kneeling on the soft floor and talking to each other. These days, Gao Cheng has heard a lot of news about the Han Dynasty from the other party. This is information that the merchant ship can't inquire about, and after hearing it, Gao Cheng has a lot of gains.

Otherwise, Gao Cheng had already cultivated at this time, and he would not be bored enough to talk to Huang Zun at all.

At this time, the autumn breeze outside was bleak, Huang Zun comfortably picked up the wine bottle, drank half a bottle, wiped his beard, and then replied: "I heard that it is Tao Qian Tao Gongzu, who was the assassin of Youzhou! He is the son of the Danyang Tao family, but the family is similar to you and me, and they are not too high! I have heard of his reputation before, Yunwen Yunwu, and his ability is extraordinary!"

"Danyang has had many elite soldiers since ancient times, Tao Gongzu is the person with the highest official position and reputation in the Tao family over the years, and has a great reputation in Danyang, if he sends people to Danyang to recruit troops, it is easy to have a large number of elites!

Gao Cheng's consciousness was in a trance, frowning slightly, he knew Tao Qian's life and past. However, according to the original records, Tao Qian should be called the Xuzhou Thorn History in the fifth year of Zhongping, right?

It's been a full year ahead of schedule.

But then he burst into laughter. "This world is not the Three Kingdoms world in the original history, even the spells that call for wind and rain, and the generals who have the power to break through thousands of armies can exist, the original timeline can only be referenced, not taken seriously!"
