After receiving the news of Zhang Bai's victory, Chen Xian transferred Li Shi to Zhongdu to sit in the capital, transferred Yang Miaozhen to the Daimyo Mansion to take charge, and ordered Yang Xiaoyi, deputy commander of the First Infantry Division and commander of the Second Brigade, to replace Yang Miaozhen in Zhending Mansion.

After arranging the affairs of North China, Chen Xin returned to Qingdao Mansion in Shandong.

Today's eastern Shandong is divided into six prefectures by Chen Xian, namely Qingdao Mansion, Dengzhou Mansion, Weizhou Mansion, Linyi Mansion, Jinan Mansion, and Jeju Mansion.

Among them, Qingdao Prefecture is the largest port in Shandong and also the maritime center of Chen Xian, and Dengzhou Prefecture was established to strengthen the maritime connection between Shandong and Liaodong, Weizhou Prefecture is in charge of the eastern Shandong Plain, Jinan Prefecture controls the northern Shandong Plain, Jeju Prefecture controls the east, and Linyi Prefecture controls the south.

Chen Xian's Hou Mansion and the General's Mansion are in Qingdao.

After returning to Qingdao, Chen Xian asked Huang Sheng, the governor of Qingdao Prefecture, to step down from the important post of prefect, and appointed Huang Sheng's deputy, a governor named Lin Xiufu, as the prefect of Qingdao.

After that, Chen Xian transferred a large number of young civilian officials from Qingdao Prefecture, Dengzhou Prefecture, and Suzhou Prefecture, and under the escort of the Shandong fleet, they drove to the mouth of the Liao River.

Chen Xian led a large number of officials to the Liao River, landed on the east side of Haizhou, rested in Haizhou for one night, and continued north to Liaoyang the next day.

After arriving in Liaoyang, Chen Xian Chen Xian announced the establishment of Liaoyang Prefecture, appointed Huang Sheng as the prefect of Liaoyang Prefecture, and set up a framework for the development of the government in Liaoyang City.

Next, Chen Xian began to transfer a large number of people from Shandong to the Liaohe Plain for large-scale development.

In recent years, Chen Xian's strategy of exchanging weapons and horses for population has exchanged a large number of people from the territory of the Jin State, most of whom have fled from the north bank of the Yellow River, and most of them have been reduced to abject poverty.

The remaining area south of the Yellow River in the Jin State is already crowded and narrow, and these fleeing populations are a heavy burden for the Jin State, and the Jin State is extremely short of horses and armor after the escape, so for Chen Xian's strategy of exchanging soldiers and horses for population, he knew that it was poison, and he had to drink to quench his thirst.

Over the years, Chen Xian has absorbed a total of more than three million people from the Jin State, and some of these more than three million people have been relocated to the Liaodong Peninsula, and the remaining population has been partially digested by a large number of factories under Chen Xian's command, and part has been arranged by Chen Xian to open up wasteland everywhere and barely maintain.

Now that Chen Xian occupied the vast and fertile Liaohe Plain, he immediately set about transferring a large number of surplus people from Shandong to Liaodong.

At the same time, Chen Xian increased the speed of absorbing people from within the country, and with the bribes of Chen Xian's public relations team, officials from all over the country gave the green light to Chen Xian's team to absorb people, and Chen Xian even set up a fleet of Yellow River boats to transport people to Shandong through the Yellow River.

In order to dispel some bad rumors about Chen Xian's large number of people in the Jin Kingdom, Chen Xian specially transferred people from the previous Jin immigrants to join the team of absorbing and transporting the population.

In just two years, Chen Xian migrated more than 3 million people to Liaodong, of which 2 million were transferred from Shandong, and the other million were new immigrants from Jinguo.

In just three years, Chen Xian built two wide fortress belts along the banks of the Liaohe River, Haizhou, Liaoyang, and Shenzhou, and the fortress belt on the east bank of the Liaohe River and the fortress belt on the Liaoyang line of Haizhou came together.

These hundreds of fortresses created a safe zone for the millions of Han Chinese who migrated to the Liaohe Plain.

……

In the past three years, Hebei has also changed greatly.

A number of cities leading to the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, there are cement berms, sand and gravel paved roads, were quickly repaired, a large number of materials from Shandong to these areas, a hundred miles wide fortress belt paved the entire eastern foot of Taihang Mountain and the southern foot of the mountains in the north of North China.

The passages on the Taihang Mountains and in the mountains of northern North China that could pass through the army were also blocked by large bastions and a series of fortress groups.

The entire North China Plain was embraced by the fortress belt.

At the same time, the landlords on the entire Hebei Plain have all been completely cleaned up, these heroes and strongmen in Chen Xian's army after the land, they all simply opened the door and surrendered to save their lives, a small number of self-thinking that they can bargain, a little hesitation, was attacked by Chen Xian's troops, once the war started, it was equivalent to pronouncing the death sentence of these heroes.

The biggest Hebei heroes, such as Shi Bingzhi of Bazhou, Zhang Rou of Daxingfu, Wang Fu of Cangzhou, Zhending Wuxian and others, some followed Mu Huali and retreated to Shanxi, and some fled across the Yellow River into the territory of Jin, anyway, as long as they can run, no one wants to stay on Chen Xian's chassis.

After completely pacifying the Hebei Plain, Chen Xian moved the northern defense line and the western defense line of the three major defense lines in Shandong to Zhongdu, Daimyo, and Zhenwu, established the three major military regions, and established a new military region in Huaizhou (west of Jiaozuo City).

In addition to these three military regions, Chen Xian retained a military region in southern Shandong to defend against the Song state, and established a military region in the Liaohe Plain to fight against Wanyan Pingtao and the Mongol tribes in western Liaoning.

He also established a military district in Goryeo.

In addition to the army, Chen Xian also expanded and reorganized the navy, and he established the Liaodong Fleet, the Goryeo Fleet, the North China Fleet, and the Shandong Fleet.

……

Chen Xian stayed in Liaoyang for a year, during which time the grain in the Liaohe Plain became self-sufficient, and the grain collected in Hebei was enough to feed the soldiers of the four major military regions, and Shandong's grain production began to run in surpluses.

At this time, Chen Xian returned to Shandong.

After he returned to Shandong, he moved his line to Weizhou.

As early as three years ago, Chen Xian's merchant fleet brought back cotton seeds and Hainan people who knew how to grow cotton and spin and weave cloth from distant Hainan.

Since then, Chen Xian has begun to carve out a large experimental field near Weizhou to try to grow cotton.

Last year, Weizhou's cotton fields had reached 50,000 mu, and on the basis of these 50,000 mu of cotton fields, Chen Xian opened a spinning mill, a weaving factory, a dyeing workshop, and opened a cotton cloth village in Weizhou.

After three years of research, Chen Xian and craftsmen developed spinning and looms that were hundreds of years old beyond this era, as well as printing and dyeing technology, and with new printing and dyeing technology, Chen Xian's sulfuric acid production process finally came in handy.

In just three years, Chen Xian produced fine cotton cloth about the same level as the Ming Dynasty, which was soft, warm, comfortable and in a variety of colors.

On the one hand, Chen Xian used a variety of process machines that were more efficient than the hemp spinning technology of this era, and he also adopted a large-scale centralized production method, which further reduced the cost, which was already lower than linen, and the price was lower than that of linen.

On the other hand, in order to promote cotton cloth, Chen Xian distributed cotton cloth and cotton products to all walks of life free of charge through various activities in Weizhou, such as lottery, such as factory welfare, such as government welfare, etc., so that people quickly knew the benefits of this new cloth.

Therefore, cotton cloth was soon in short supply in Weizhou.
