Zhang Ming wants large-scale investment and construction, and Yecheng is the first project.

He asked Frustration to do it.

At the same time, let Fu Zhi temporarily take over the government affairs of Jizhou.

This Jizhou is equal to several provinces in later generations, and some are too big.

Zhang Ming first let the frustration take charge, and at the same time, his provincial system was about to be implemented.

A few days in Jizhou.

Frustrated for a few days, he came to him.

"Liaohou, everything is ready, the plan has been formulated, and the money has been received for two months."

"Well, how do you want to arrange it?"

"I'm talking about the people side."

He has thought about everything.

"Liaohou, recruit locally, let the counties organize some more poor people."

"I want to get a part of the army involved."

Frustrated with some surprises, Zhang Ming has a strong control over the army, how can he let the army help now?

"There are too many troops, and we may not need so many in the future."

"In the future, they will be conscripted, selected and served as soldiers for three years, and a sum of money will be given to them to go home and continue farming."

"Only officers are for life."

"In this way, if there is a war in the future, we still have a lot of troops to prepare."

Fu Zhu understood that Zhang Ming was planning to streamline the army.

Now, the combat army, in total, is more than 700,000.

Originally, their army was more elite than others, but now their opponents are already very weak.

Zhang Ming cut off part of the army and now let the army be directly transformed into a construction branch.

"Bring 10,000 troops over, take off their military uniforms, let them repair the city, and pay half of the salary every day, and the other half of the money, and wait until they retire in two years, all at once."

"Yes, Marquis Liao."

Fu Zhu suddenly felt that Zhang Ming was very clever and knew how to judge the situation, and now the general situation has changed.

Today, Zhang Ming can be said to have controlled most of the area.

There is no need to raise so many troops at once, and many places no longer need an army.

Zhang Ming not only wanted to transform part of the army into a construction force, but also asked some people to arrest and go to various cities to maintain law and order.

This Yecheng is a big project.

In Zhang Ming, Yecheng is much larger than the previous city.

In Zhang Ming's planning, this will be a central city.

The scale must be large.

Only when the construction is large, the houses and shops inside can be sold.

Therefore, when Zhang Ming planned the new city, the scale was very large.

It also has to be big.

The construction of a big city can become the central city of the surrounding area, which not only has a military influence, but also has a strong economic and cultural role.

Therefore, when Zhang Ming planned, he planned according to a population of more than one million.

Not only the population, all kinds of greenery, lakes, are also arranged.

The streets are wide.

From now on, the shops on both sides will be their own.

You don't have to sell, you can collect a lot of money just by renting it out every year.

Therefore, when investing, you can't be petty, Zhang Ming wants to build a big city.

The frustration began to arrange, and Zhang Ming stayed here for more than ten days.

At this time, Sun Ce happened to return to Changsha County.

Along the way, he had mixed feelings.

When I finally went back, my younger siblings came to say hello.

"You all go down, Shang Xiang stays for a while."

Sun Shangxiang saw that Sun Ce's face was not good, so he asked, "Brother, but what is the difficulty?" ”

"Well, Zhang Ming's army has already moved south, and at this time, from east to west, along the Yangtze River, has slowly begun to advance."

"At the same time, we are actively preparing to attack Jingzhou, and soon, we will also..."

Sun Ce didn't say any more.

"Brother doesn't need to worry, just with the relationship between our two families, even if the army is defeated in the end, as long as we give in, Zhang Ming will not embarrass us."

"So far, we have not had any trouble except after assisting the Cao army in retreating in Wancheng."

Sun Ce shook his head, how to explain it.

Now it is no longer a question of life and death, but a question of hegemony.

To live, he surrendered directly to Zhang Ming, not only will he not die, but he can also have glory and wealth.

However, this is not what Sun Ce wants.

He is ambitious, and he wants hegemony.

Br.

Br.

Sun Ce doesn't want glory and wealth.

"Shang Xiang, now that you've grown up, what do you think?"

Sun Ce asked suddenly, which made Sun Shangxiang not know what he was going to say, so he was stunned and did not answer.

What answer?

"Brother, if you have something to say, what can my little sister help with?"

"I want you to marry Zhang Ming and delay it for a few months."

Sun Ce directly said what he thought in his heart.

Sun Shangxiang was surprised for a long time before he said, "It's up to my brother to decide." ”

The eldest brother is like a father.

Sun Shangxiang knew very well that he had no choice.

In another time and space, Sun Quan asked Sun Shangxiang to marry the old man Liu Bei, but she couldn't resist.

"Okay, Shang Xiang, don't worry, I will arrange it and let you marry in the most beautiful way."

"In addition, once the matter fails, you will put all the responsibility on me, protect yourself, and ask Zhang Ming to forgive you."

"Yes, brother."

Sun Shangxiang felt a little sad in his heart, but his face didn't show anything.

She admired Zhang Ming very much, and if Sun Shangxiang wanted to marry Zhang Ming, she would marry happily.

But now, there is such a purpose.

In Sun Shangxiang's opinion, Zhang Ming was not sorry for their Sun family at all.

Until now, it has been Zhang Ming who has helped their Sun family.

However, now, Sun Ce wants to deal with Zhang Ming and use himself.

Sun Shangxiang's face was expressionless, and his heart went down with sadness.

Sun Ce immediately began to make arrangements.

First of all, he immediately ordered Zhang Zhao to send an envoy and leave with a lot of money.

At this time, Liu Bei in Jingzhou was making large-scale preparations.

He was ready to attack Shuchuan.

And Zhang Ming was in Jizhou, and Xi Zhi, who had already returned at this time, sent information.

"Lord, this Liu Bei is ostensibly arranging defenses in Jingzhou, preparing to resist us, in fact, he is preparing to attack Shuchuan."

Zhang Ming had buried a large number of spies in Jingzhou many years ago, so he was actually very clear about Liu Bei's movements.

"Let him fight, and when he destroys the structure of Shuchuan, we will clean it up."

"Lord, we can clean it up by ourselves." Xi Zhicai suggested that Zhang Ming also send troops.

"No, when he sends troops to Shuchuan, it will be the day when our army will attack Jingzhou, and then when Liu Bei destroys the original structure of Shuchuan, we will make another move, and the bad guys will let Liu Bei be the first to do it."

"Yes, my lord."

Zhang Ming has already decided, so this is the only way to do it.

After Zhang Ming had already decided, he said: "You start to mobilize the army, first arrange it on the periphery, and once you start to act, attack in multiple directions, and don't give them any chance." ”

"Yes, my lord."

At this time, Zhang Ming was already able to mobilize a large army from the east.

The armies of Yangzhou and Xuzhou no longer have much effect.

Zhang Ming planned to leave only a small part of the army in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and other places to maintain order, and the rest of the army would all be evacuated.

In addition, Zhang Ming did not garrison troops in the city, so the army set up camps in the field and trained in the field.

In this way, you can train every day and at night, and you will not disturb the people.

And in the city, as long as there is a catcher to maintain order, there is still a small number of troops on the city wall, and a hundred people are guarding it every day.

In this way, another half a month passed.

Zhang Ming was still in Jizhou, and Zhang Zhao came at this time.

"Lord Zhang, come from afar, please hurry up."

There is only a simple tent, and Zhang Ming can't entertain him well at this time.

"Lord Zhang, who are you?"

"I came here on the commission of the marquis, I said hello to the marquis of Liao, and there are a few other things."

Zhang Ming was not in a hurry to let Zhang Zhao speak, but asked someone to get tea and snacks or something.

"Come, Master Zhang, there's nothing to entertain, drink some tea."

"Thank you, Marquis Liao."

After drinking some tea, Zhang Ming asked, "How is Wu Hou lately?" ”

"Thank you Liaohou for your concern, last time in Wancheng, there were many misunderstandings between our two sides, this time Wu Hou let him bring a generous gift, which can be regarded as making amends."

"It's just a trivial matter, our two families have always had a good relationship, just explain this matter."

Explained, of course explained.

Zhang Ming said it very easily, but Zhang Zhao felt a lot of pressure.

Explain, how does this make Zhang Zhao explain.

Say, don't let Zhang Ming dominate China, that's why he sent troops to stop it?

That's not looking for death.

Besides how to explain this?

Can a misunderstanding be solved?

Therefore, Zhang Zhao is actually under great pressure now.

"Liaohou, this time we sent five million dollars, and there are many other treasures, and at the same time, Wu Hou has a request."

"Okay, you speak."

"Please promote the Marquis of Liao to the king of Liao, the credit of the Marquis of Liao is overwhelming, and this king is a matter of course."

Zhang Ming took a sip of tea, and then said lightly: "I am ready to ask the Queen Mother to make Prince Liu Jin the King of Liao." ”

Zhang Zhao was stunned.

What does this mean?

"Then where does the Marquis of Liao want to seal it?"

"I'll also be crowned King of Liao."

Suddenly, Zhang Zhao didn't understand anymore.

You Zhang Ming can't look down on the title of King of Liao, you can choose it yourself.

You can choose the king of Luoyang.

The king of Guanzhong can also do it.

Why bother competing with Prince Liu Jin.

Zhang Zhao was really speechless.

"This Liu Jin is my biological son, both father and son are the king of Liao, and in the future, the king of Liao should be succeeded by him."

Suddenly, Zhang Zhao's hands trembled.

I can't hold it.

It's a dead deal.

Zhang Ming is going to kill people.

This mission was too dangerous.

This shocking secret, who knows who died.

Zhang Ming generously told him that he was going to kill him.

Zhang Zhao wanted to cry, but he couldn't calm down anymore.

What could be more intimidating than this?

No, it's scary.

It's scared to death.

Zhang Zhao sweated on his forehead, but he still forced his composure.

"Liaohou, this joke can't be messed around, but Liaohou likes to open it, and it's nothing."

Zhang Zhao's hands were still trembling, and he couldn't drink a sip of tea if he wanted to, he was really trembling.

Although the two armies are fighting each other, Zhang Ming doesn't have to worry about anything now.

If you want to kill him, just kill him, what else can Sun Ce do.

"I'm not kidding, when Liu Jin is crowned the king of Liao, I will also become the king of Liao, two kings of Liao."

"Liu Jin will also have the surname Liu, not my surname, I have enough sons."

Zhang Ming remembered that King Jing of Zhongshan gave birth to more than 100 sons in his life, how could he Zhang Ming have dozens of sons, otherwise how could he seal so many places overseas.

"Then, congratulations to the Marquis of Liao on becoming the king of Liao."

Zhang Zhao said worriedly.

Zhang Zhao is still scared.

Can you not be afraid.

Quite scared.

"But what else?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Zhang Zhaogang said: "Wu Hou wants to sacrifice his sister to Liao Hou. ”

"No, no, no, do you want the two families to form a good relationship between Qin and Jin?"

"Sun Shangxiang?"

This Zhang Zhao was already flustered, and even said the word "dedication".

"Yes, Wu Hou hopes that the two families will be good forever."

"Okay, this king agreed, but I don't know what about the dowry?"

"Three million dollars, and ten dowry maids, all of whom are famous ladies selected from everyone."

"Not enough."

"Those twenty beauties?"

Zhang Zhao asked tentatively.

"We need 10 million copper coins and 2 million stone grains, and once we get married, I will rebuild Luoyang City for Shang Xiang."

"In Luoyang City, a palace will be built for Shang Xiang, another school palace will be built, and a women's school will be built for Shang Xiang, so that some female students can also study in the school."

Zhang Zhao originally wanted to bargain, but Zhang Ming said this, so he couldn't refute it for a while.

For Sun Shangxiang, Zhang Ming paid so much, don't you need more dowry?

Zhang Zhao thought to himself, Sun Ce even got his sister in, so Liu Bei should have more blood, and in the end, most of these were Liu Bei.

So Zhang Zhao agreed.

"Okay, I'll tell Marquis Wu when I go back."

"Well, when the time comes, the wedding will be handled in Luoyang City, although it is a little simple, but it has symbolic meaning."

"After the wedding, I will send 50,000 troops to directly start rebuilding Luoyang City, and gather another 100,000 people to build Luoyang City together."

Zhang Ming seemed to be full of pride.

And this Zhang Zhao felt that Zhang Ming was ready to be the emperor.

But it's also a good thing.

At this time, Zhang Ming had just established Yecheng, and at this time it had not yet fully started, and Luoyang City would be established immediately, which would definitely consume a lot of resources.

When the time comes, more time can be bought for them.

Zhang Zhao talked about some details and hurried away.

As for Liu Jin being Zhang Ming's son, he didn't dare to tell others.

When the time came, Zhang Ming said that Zhang Zhao slandered, and directly said that Sun Ce killed Zhang Zhao, and Sun Ce had to kill him.

After Zhang Zhao left, Zhang Ming said with a smile: "Sugar-coated cannonballs, but I like them." ”

"Sun Shangxiang and twenty beauties are enough for me to give birth to a litter of cubs, and they will all be sealed out when the time comes, and they will be arranged slowly in my lifetime."

"To encourage childbirth, start with me, give birth to a bunch of him, and seal them all out."

"In addition, in order not to harm future generations and not raise a batch of waste, any royal family, after three generations, has nothing to do with the royal family."

"Moreover, the treatment has been decreasing since the second generation."

"Otherwise, like the Ming Dynasty, it will be slowly defeated by a bunch of imperial relatives."

"The Qing Dynasty is the same, a few generations later, the children of the Eight Banners, there is nothing to do with the imperial court, it doesn't matter how many years the country was founded, it will be scary after two or three generations."

Sun Shangxiang, Zhang Ming didn't think much about it originally, but when he sent it to the door, there was no reason not to.

It's better than letting Sun Shangxiang follow Liu Bei.

I am not aggrieved if I follow myself.

After settling the matter, Zhang Ming is going back to Youzhou.

After a while, Youzhou will hold another imperial examination.

Nowadays, the imperial examination in Youzhou will not be so lively.

Because, each state will take the test once first, and only after reaching a certain score can you enter Beijing for the second test.

In this way, there will not be tens of thousands of people in Beiping City together, the number of people is smaller, and all work is much easier.

All the way to the horse, this section of the road has a gallop, very fast, a few days later to Beiping City.
