When Liu Yu came to the steel workshop in Yuyang, Ma Qiang had been waiting outside for a long time.

Seeing Ma Qiang waiting for him, Liu Yu sighed, it was not easy, and he finally saw it.

"Ma Qiang has seen Liu Yuanjun!"

"Liu Yu has seen Ma Huaiyi!"

Along the way, Ma Qiang took Liu Yu to visit the newly established steel workshop and mine, looking at the huge water mill and farm tools made like flowing water, Liu Yu had a new understanding of Ma Qiangzhi.

Walking all the way to a hillside, looking at the picturesque scenery under the hillside, Ma Qiang made a gesture and asked everyone to step back, now is the time for the big guy to talk.

"Ma Huaiyi is very capable, I heard that Ma Huaiyi has only been two years since he came out of the mountain, but he has made such great achievements, even if it is an ancient sage, it is nothing more than that."

"Since the kid came out of the mountain, he has heard the benevolent name of the envoy, if the envoy has always been in Youzhou, I think Qiu Liju will not be opposed, and the Taiping Road in Youzhou will not have such a momentum."

"But Taiping Dao will still cause trouble, right?" Liu Yu looked at Ma Qiang.

"Liu Yuanjun is a gentleman, it is difficult for a gentleman to be reckless, Liu Yuanjun thinks why these original moths and thieves are willing to work in the army today?

What they did, from the very beginning, was just a mouthful of food. ”

"A bite of rice, how simple, how difficult." Liu Yu sighed, he governed too much, although relying on the great name of the Han clan and the benevolent and righteous governance methods, most of the people governed by him have a good life, but as long as he leaves, the people in those places will quickly return to the original trajectory, those who should lose their land will still lose their land, and those who should become displaced people will still become displaced people.

Sometimes, Liu Yu feels as if he is blocking the fool of the Yellow River, is the decline of the Han Dynasty really a reincarnation in two hundred years? Has it reached the point of no return?

"Grain grows from the ground, and it requires farmers to work hard, such as today's turmoil, the root cause is the lack of food, so that you think that our Han is short of farmers?"

"There is a shortage of land in the Han Dynasty, and there is a shortage of people in Youzhou!" Liu Yu pointed down and said, "I came to Youzhou this time, I want to wait for the rebellion of the moths, from Qingdao and Hebei to move millions of people to Youzhou, outsiders think that Youzhou can only cultivate Zhuo County, but I know that after Haixi Road, there is a large plain in the north of Liaoxi County, Youzhou is not short of land, although the weather is cold, but it can also harvest a season of grain, as long as it is vigorously developed, Youzhou will not be much worse than Hebei and Qingdao. ”

Developing the Great Northeast? This political ambition is powerful enough.

However, in the late Han Dynasty, the difficulty of developing the Northeast was comparable to that of the later generations to develop the West, and you must know that the development of the Northeast was not really developed until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and the reason for this is nothing more than species and technology.

First of all, the species, before the lack of high-yield cold-tolerant crops such as corn and potatoes, the yield of crops in the Northeast is actually very low, and the Wuchang rice, which is famous all over the country, is not only because of the special rice varieties of Wuchang rice, but also because of the great progress in technology.

The Northeast is a frozen soil stage in winter, it is impossible to cultivate at all, and it is necessary to wait until April and May to completely thaw, if there is no machinery that can quickly plough the land and plant, when you finish plowing and planting, it will be June and July, and in September, you can prepare for winter.

To put it bluntly, the development of the Northeast was too difficult in ancient times, which is why the Han Dynasty was so strong, but it only controlled the Shenyang and Tieling areas in later generations and no longer went north.

It can be said that in fact, as long as it is a suitable place for farming, the Han Dynasty will not look at it and not take it!

And Ma Qiang also knows that the end of the Han Dynasty is the period when the world is getting cold again, and this temperature is in the entire five thousand years of China, only the Xiaoice River at the end of the Ming Dynasty can be compared to it, and it is better to develop the northeast at this time than to develop the south of the Yangtze River.

Liu Yu was probably misled by the Wuhuan people, and saw that the Wuhuan people could farm in western Liao, so he felt that he could follow suit, but in fact, the grain output of those Wuhuan people was not as good as that of a slightly more internal county like Zhuo County.

But then again, at this time, the population of the world is also small, the country is only 60 million, although the Northeast is difficult to develop, but it is not completely impossible to feed a million more people.

Especially when Ma Qiang came up with a weakened version of the ploughshare plough and other agricultural killers.

Liu Yu saw that Ma Qiang seemed to be hesitating about something, so he said with a sincere face, "Ma Huaiyi, you have the talent of heaven and the people, and you are also good friends with you, I want to turn Wuhuan into a Hanmin, I don't know if Ma Huaiyi thinks it's okay?" If so, I think we can turn Youzhou into a paradise together! ”

Seeing Liu Yu like this, Ma Qiang suddenly understood many things that he couldn't understand in the past.

If Yidi enters China, then China will be Chinese, and if China enters Yidi, then Yidi.

Absorbing Wuhuan people into China, this is also Ma Qiang's approval, this general direction is correct, but the ways and methods need to be discussed.

The Wuhu Chaohua that later generations were worried about was a joke in this era, and if you asked the Han people if they were afraid of foreign races, they would probably be regarded as fools by the Han people.

Afraid of aliens? Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, these three words are not a declarative sentence!

Looking at Liu Yu, Ma Qiang thought about the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, these people each had their own ideals and pursuits, but the princes like Liu Yu who hoped to delay the life of the Han Dynasty by relying on reform and cultural rule were probably the only one.

Such people are also quite cute.

"I haven't reached the crown yet, and I'm no longer a thorn in history, just a captain, I will lead the army south to exterminate Taiping Dao in a few days, and Youzhou will be handed over to Liu Yuanjun.

If Liu Yuanjun wants to realize the dream he just said, I have a sharp weapon to help you! ”

"But the ploughshare that spread all over the state? The plough of China, Ma Huaiyi's ambition I also understand, please rest assured Ma Huaiyi, the army is in front, I Liu Bo'an will definitely do a good job in the supply of military food, if there is a delay in the transportation of grain and grass that makes the sergeant hungry, please cut off my head after the captain returns to the army! ”

Just like Duan Ying said before, Liu Yu is a gentleman, a gentleman is difficult to chase after a gentleman, since Liu Yu dares to say this, he must be sincerely ready to support Ma Qiang to go south, after all, Ma Qiang's southward journey is also to save him Liu family.

But as a history of assassination, or a member of the royal family, Ma Qiang is still very moved to be able to say such things.

Who said that people who play politics have black hearts?

It's just that those who don't have a black heart can't play with a black heart.

The two negotiated, and Ma Qiang began to make preparations for the final south.

Ma Qiang went back to the Red Star Camp again, and explained to Lin Huan and others about preparing to go south to Jizhou, Lin Huan and others naturally told him, Bai Yan asked again to go out and have a look, and then was pressed back by Ma Qiang, while Lu Qingcheng looked at Ma Qiang with an unhappy face.

It's going to be a few more months.

Ma Qiang scratched his head when he saw Lu Qingcheng like this, to be honest, he really wanted Lu Qingcheng to accompany him, if nothing else, it would be good to be a bodyguard for himself.

Anyway, where are Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, this time I went to Jizhou to Changshan to find out, maybe I could pry Liu Da'er into a corner, anyway, I have already pried a Huang Zhong, one more is not too much.

Speaking of which, Liu Bei is also his own subordinate now, is this considered a prying

Thinking that Liu Bei was his subordinate, Ma Qiang began to have a headache again.
