Chapter 299: Harvesting the Population

Zhang Ming began to do a special topic on Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

As soon as the newspaper came out, it quickly ran out of stock.

The good news is that now that the technology has been innovated to make cheaper newspapers, and now the newspapers are now published, at least the capital can be preserved.

There are many literate people in Youzhou, and many people buy newspapers to read.

They are also eager to know about the world's affairs, and if they have the conditions, they buy a copy to read, and if they don't, they rub it around, and there are even many people on the roadside who read newspapers.

Now, the newspaper has a huge impact.

They were far away in Youzhou, and they already knew that the two states in the south were going to fight.

In about seven days, Cao Cao also got the newspaper.

"This chapter Ming, what kind of heart is it?"

Before Xun Yu arrived in Yanzhou, the newspaper had already been delivered, and Zhang Ming sent fast horses day and night, passing them from station to station, changing people and horses, day and night.

If it weren't for the fact that there were many places that needed to be detoured, I am afraid that it would not take three days to get the news there.

Cao Cao was angry, Zhang Ming's comment didn't seem to be aimed at anyone, standing on the high ground of morality, he had already crusaded against Cao Cao in advance.

How can a war not affect ordinary people, as long as it is affected, Zhang Ming will be able to spray.

A month later, Cao Ang asked Zhang Ming again to borrow money.

This time it was a cash loan, and it took 10 million.

This large amount of money is used for military spending.

Zhang Ming was free to come, and he was not afraid that Cao Cao would not be able to repay and let Tian Feng lend it to them

After borrowing money for a month, Cao Cao completed his preparations and trained the recruited army for another month.

Although the newly recruited army did not participate, they also had to keep their homes, so it took a while to train and form

Three months after Cao Song's death, Cao Cao finally sent troops.

In the past three months, Zhang Ming's newspaper sales have increased significantly, and Zhang Ming has a lot of comments on it.

Commenting on the advantages of Cao Cao's side, he then analyzed the situation in Xuzhou.

The newspaper was even exported to the entire Han Dynasty, such as the Shuchuan area, where Zhang Ming did not send someone to send it over, but relied on merchants to bring it over.

In this way, Shuchuan could only see the newspaper after two years, but the people there were still very interested.

Cao Jun set off.

Attack Xuzhou.

In the first battle, a city was captured, and Cao Cao slaughtered it.

Cao Cao ordered that when attacking, do not take prisoners, and kill the people.

This news was quickly sent to Zhang Ming.

"Cao Cao is really like this, for his righteousness, in order to show his anger, he actually went on a killing spree."

There are pros and cons to this killing spree.

In order to swallow Xuzhou, Cao Cao has disregarded morality.

Zhang Ming immediately wrote a comment.

"The people of Xuzhou, because Tao Qian is incompetent, the lives are devastated, although Cao Cao is filial, he kills innocents indiscriminately, and there is no distinction between good and bad..."

Xi Zhi just happened to report the situation, and Zhang Ming showed him the comments.

"Lord, you are scolded by both sides, both sides are wrong, Tao Qian is incompetent and damned, and Cao Cao should not attack the common people..."

"Hahaha, exactly."

"Do you have any good news for you?"

"Lord, there is good news, after three months of layout, the situation in Xuzhou can be sent to Youzhou in about four and a half days, even if there is an accident, it can be reached in six days."

This is really not easy, a point is set up in a hundred miles, a point of more than a dozen people and a dozen horses, can fully rest, but also can deal with emergencies.

This investment is huge, and it took three months for Xi Zhicai to be completely completed.

Of course, not all of them are about 100 miles, some are closer, some are farther away.

"Great, so we can stay on top of the situation."

"Now, Cao Cao owes us money, and Cao Ang is also in Youzhou, so we will immediately send people to start recruiting homeless people."

"No matter what method is used, even if it is deception, a large number of displaced people must be recruited."

News from Xuzhou kept coming.

Cao Cao was so strong that Xuzhou was difficult to resist.

Xuzhou, no one can deal with Cao Cao.

Tao Qian was incompetent, gradually saw the situation clearly, and could not hold Xuzhou.

As a last resort, he finally went to ask for help, and the object of the request was Liu Bei.

And Zhang Ming, who brought back more than 4,000 homeless people on his first trip, was directly settled in Liaodong.

The second batch brought back more than 6,000 people and arranged them in Jixian County, and some of them directly asked them to repair the city and then give them food.

Then, in the second and third batches, there were constantly displaced people sent to Youzhou, and Zhang Ming sent people to disperse to various counties.

Cao Cao's offensive was swift and unmatched.

After entering Xuzhou, Cao Cao also learned from Zhang Ming and looted the wealth of the family.

The difference is that Cao Cao is in the name of avenging his father and bloodbathing Xuzhou.

This bloodbath is indeed very money-making.

Cao Cao sighed, it's better to rob and get money quickly.

The robbery does come quickly, but the sequelae are a little bigger.

However, Cao Cao couldn't take care of these anymore and directly ransacked them.

Cao Cao slaughtered two cities in a row, and the news was walked out in time.

As a result, many of the people of the city fled with their families.

"Let's go to Youzhou, someone will pick it up."

"There is no way to survive in Xuzhou."

"Tao Qian is incompetent, the newspapers say that he can't stop Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao avenges his father, and he will kill everyone."

Originally, these words were not so terrible, but when Cao Cao began to slaughter the city, everything changed.

These are not simple rumors, but possible facts.

Many of the people fled the city in great fear.

At this time, someone took them to Youzhou.

The people were afraid, and they followed.

"When you go to Youzhou, you have everything, food, and land."

"There are few people in Youzhou, and every household can get land."

"Youzhou also helped build a house, although it is a dilapidated thatched house, it can be lived."

Unlike Cao Cao's massacre, the benefits of Youzhou are promoted here.

Of course, this is all true, and even more than that.

In order to settle these people, Zhang Ming actually did it very simply.

All he had to do was order how many empty houses to build in each village.

It is enough to build a village with a dozen households, and then divide these people into the county, and the county will then distribute them to each village.

In this way, a large number of displaced people can be digested very quickly.

Even if they can't digest it for a while, now they just need to give food first, and then live in other people's homes, and then let them build their own houses.

Batch after batch of people were sent to Youzhou, and Zhang Ming has always been aware of these situations.

Tian Feng came to report regularly.

"Lord, we have already resettled 30,000 displaced people, and we will be able to reach a batch of about 10,000 tomorrow." Tian Feng said.

"Hahaha, that's great, Cao Cao really helped us a lot."

"This hit Xuzhou, and the benefits we get are not necessarily more than ours."

"By the way, the data must be kept strictly confidential, otherwise we will make a fortune on our side, and Cao Cao's side will probably stop it."

In this way, Cao Cao and Tao Qian knew that Zhang Ming could get away so many people, and they would definitely interfere when the time came.

Secrecy is also very simple, send the people to other places in batches, no one has such a great intelligence ability, can count the scattered people.
