Cao Cao clearly understood that the Chu army sometimes did not want gold and silver five baht, because they themselves were the richest, and even the money village in the world was opened by him Chu Jun, and he also took the name of a central bank.

I don't know how much I earned just by casting dragon coins a year, and the dragon coins actually only have the copper content of nine five-baht coins, but the workmanship is exquisite and difficult to imitate, and the purity of copper is also extremely high.

It's a sure deal.

There is also the Chamber of Commerce of the Chu Army, the restaurants in the secret, seafood, snowflake sea salt, amber fairy brewing, papermaking, etc., each of which is a leader in making money.

Cao Cao knew that the Chu army was not short of money.

A high reward for inventions, and a reward for being an official and a knight, and then Ma Jun took the lead, various scientific and technological inventions broke out in the Chu military jurisdiction, and water conservancy workshops such as water conservancy looms, water conservancy forging machines, water conservancy oil extraction, etc., spread all over the major river basins in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, it has a vast territory.

The Chu army did not lack all kinds of supplies.

Only the population can attract the Chu army, every weapon obtained by the Qi army is exchanged for the population, even the arrows are so abundant but wasted, or the Chu army is made, how many people in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Qi army flow to the Chu army, you can imagine.

In a sense, sometimes the Chu army does not limit who to work with, whether it is Yuan Shu's Qi army or Yuan Shao's Zhao army, or a minor warlord.

But only Zhao Jun and some small warlords who could cooperate happily with the Chu army were also able to seal the country outside the country.

The former provided a large number of people for the vast and sparsely populated Chu army jurisdiction, the number is too large to count the exact number, the most common in Qi is that the Qi army is like driving sheep to the market, every day there are a large number of "lambs" gathered in the Chu army's Beihai, Donglai, Nanyang.

It is predicted that there will be at least tens of millions, and it will continue to rise.

The Qi army almost all occupied the Central Plains, and there were many densely populated places, but there were many hidden households, all of which were hidden in the name of Shi Jia Haoqiang, and Yuan Shu was not a person who was polite to Shi Jia Haoqiang, especially not supporting him.

The foundation of Yuan Shu is the protégé and the smell of the same Haoqiang, the Yuan family's protégés and former officials are all over the world, and there is no shortage of celebrities and scholars under his command.

I love to make friends with strong warriors sincerely, and there is no shortage of generals from strong warriors under his command.

He was originally a descendant of the Yuan family of the third prince of the fourth generation, and his bloodline was much purer than Yuan Shao, and his reputation was the best in the world, and there was no shortage of it.

The local people who do not take refuge in him and have a lot of resources in their hands, Yuan Shu doesn't care if they support him or not, he is very "muddy" by nature, for his own great cause, he will not be polite to these people.

The land of Qi, Yan, Qing and Henan, plus the two counties of Xingyang and Yangzhou Jiangbei, are all really densely populated places, and each state has a population of more than 5 million.

According to the records of the Book of Han, the number of households in the Western Han Dynasty in 2 AD was 10,000, and the number of mouths was 10,000. \u000b

Due to the concentration of agricultural development in the Yellow River Basin in the early period of China's history, the population density of the Western Han Dynasty was extremely unevenly distributed, and the degree of development was also different.

With the Huai River and Qinling Mountains as the boundary, the north is completely developed, so the population is about eighty percent, and the south has a low degree of development and many wild lands, so the population is less than two percent.

The five prefectures of Si, Henan, Hebei, Yan, Qingdao and Xu, with a population of more than 5 million, are all located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, accounting for 55% of the country's total population.

Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the war was poisoned by natural disasters, and the population plummeted.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has begun to recover again.

During the reign of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population of the country was only about 35 million.

In the fifth year of Yonghe (140 years), there were 10,000 households and 10,000 mouths in the country. By 157 years, there were 10,000 households and 10,000 mouths in the country.

Now according to the AD is 192 years, and after 35 years of growth, although there are natural and man-made disasters, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been experienced, but with the existence of Cao Xing, the poison of the Yellow Turban has been well controlled, and the natural and man-made disasters have been greatly controlled in terms of injuring the population, and the actual population of the whole Han is still more than 50 million.

It's just that these will not be registered, but hidden households under the command of Shi Jiahaoqiang.

What Qi Jun did was to dig out these hidden households in a targeted manner.

What the Chu army did was to accept these populations and send them to Shibian, a vast and sparsely populated land.

This can only be done by Qi Jun, only he Yuan Shu is not afraid of the alliance of the Shi family, because his family itself is the largest Shi family, and the Shi family who gathers under the command of the Yuan family does not know how many people are strong.

The little warlord can cooperate happily with Cao Xing, and it has nothing to do with the real population, the Chu army only provides you with fiefs and a small part of the rewarded population, and then provides military protection, if you want to make the feudal country bigger, you have to rely on yourself to recruit the population.

In the same way, Cao Cao clearly understood that everyone could cooperate with the Chu army, but only his sect master Yuan Shao couldn't.

Yuan Shao is promoting benevolent government, and only in this way can he compete with Yuan Shu, who is rooted in Miao Hong, and he wants the whole world to see that Yuan Shao is the most benevolent person, so that more non-Yuan family protégés will defect to him.

In terms of winning over the protégés of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao couldn't compete with Yuan Shu, especially when Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng were still alive.

Now Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng died in the "chaotic army".

Yuan Shao can win some, and his Yuan Shao's foundation is still the party and the scholars all over the world.

Reselling the population to the Chu army, this kind of thing that harms the interests of the Shi family, Yuan Shao did it, and he betrayed his relatives and left, not far from death.

The main tent of the military camp on the north bank of Guandu, Cao Cao looked at the generals who were at a loss, and sighed in his heart, fortunately, Cao Ren had already gone to Saibei to take up the country, and he also brought a few of his concubines and Xiahou Yuan to lead a group of Xiahou people, even if the Cao family was defeated in the end, it would not completely decline.

Yuan Shao may also think so, and his cousin Yuan Yu, who supported him, sealed the north, and it is said that there is also one of his sons in the army, which can be regarded as retaining the bloodline of the Yuan family.

But in this way, people have a way out, and often the sense of enthusiasm and urgency is not so strong.

"Knock knock~"

Cao Cao's fingers tapped on the tabletop, throwing all the emotions out of his mind.

"The Battle of Guandu! determines the ownership of the world and affects the entire situation in the world! Prime Minister Yuan Cheng will definitely send reinforcements, and what we have to do is to create more opportunities before the arrival of the Zhao army!

It's best to play a few victories, let the world see, Zhao Jun see, the final victory is on our side! ”

"Qiang~"

The sword of the sky is unsheathed.

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

The shouting of victory suppressed the negative emotions in my heart and aroused some confidence that we would win even if we fought more with less.

Cao Cao's generals began to take turns in battle, and sometimes launched night attacks, just to find a flaw in the Qi army on the Nan'an bank, if it could cause the Qi army to cross the river to pursue, it would be perfect.
