When the envoys of the scholars were still on the way, Gongsun Kang and the others had already organized the households of the Qi people in Nanhai County, reformed their government, and evaluated and selected officials. The masses were mobilized to report and expose, and through open investigation and covert visits, a large number of corrupt officials and corrupt officials who harmed the people were punished, and some honest and self-disciplined petty officials who were quite talented were also promoted to important posts.

By the time it was all over, more than two months had passed, and it was now July. The messenger of the Shi family has not yet arrived, and I don't know if they want to resist the mun, or if they have fallen into the sea in a typhoon.

Gongsun Kang often chatted with Xi Zhicai and Xun You over tea, and he used the form of Chaoshan Kung Fu Tea in later generations, and no one in Jiaozhou drank tea like this, so he was the originator of the mountain.

There are two more tea drinkers today: Tai Shi Ci and Yu Ban. This shows that Gongsun Kang has something to say.

After three rounds of tea, everyone finished tasting it. Gongsun Kang began to speak. He said: "Today I want to talk about the layout of Jiaozhou in the next two years. ”

Everyone put down their small teacups and became solemn.

Gongsun Kang sat on the main seat and said easily: "I have a few ideas to talk about first, and you can interrupt me at any time in the middle, make suggestions and requests, and discuss them slowly." ”

No one answered, and no one interrupted him. So Gongsun Kang continued: "The first idea is that Jiaozhou should be self-sufficient, and like Yizhou, we can't take down a burden. ”

This is meant to be, but by whom? Gongsun Kang has not yet said.

Yu Ban had already been appointed as the governor of Jiaozhou, so he had no choice but to ask: "Does the lord want my soldiers to be tuntian?" ”

"No!" Gongsun Kang resolutely denied him. "The county soldiers of all counties in Jiaozhou should select elites and concentrate them, and together with your soldiers, they will become professional soldiers, and they can't go to Tuntian."

"This brings me to the second thought I want to say, we will leave six thousand sailors and twenty big ships in Jiaozhou; 6,000 3 Han Eight Banner Army. Then 10,000 elites were selected from the county soldiers. These more than 20,000 people are professional warriors, fighters who want to fight non-stop. ”

Obviously, the Jiaozhou mentioned by Gongsun Kang already includes Zhuya Prefecture (Hainan), and will no longer send troops to be stationed there, but will be developed by Jiaozhou in a unified manner.

Tai Shi Ci understood a little bit, so he asked, "Is the lord saying that we are going to feed the soldiers by constantly plundering?" ”

"Yes" Gongsun Kang glanced at him approvingly, and continued: "Between Shenzhi and Jiaozhou, there are dozens of small countries and hundreds of tribes. You can go and plunder and get money to feed yourselves, and slaves to develop the mines. Hire the people of Jiaozhou to build factories and refine metals. In addition, there are many Baiyue tribes in Jiaozhou itself, who do not accept the suppression of our rule, and want to manage Jiaozhou with an iron fist. ”

All of you here are ruthless people, and there is no mother-in-law mother-in-law, and there is the kindness of a woman.

Gongsun Kang was very satisfied that his subordinates had accepted the iron-fisted rule as a matter of course.

Gongsun Kang continued his third thought: "I plan to transport 400,000 Japanese people after September. They are all my followers, and I can replenish my soldiers from them in the future. ”

There were 200,000 Japanese people in Yizhou and 400,000 Japanese people in Jiaozhou, and Gongsun Kang moved half of the population of Wadao in one fell swoop. But who would object? No! Spreading the glory of God throughout the world is the duty and glory of a believer!

Gongsun Kang finished his thoughts, and all that was left was the time for the strategists to behave.

Xun You Zou frowned, obviously embarrassed. Xi Zhicai had no choice but to answer, he said: "400,000 Japanese immigrants are not a small number. With the current population of 2 million in Jiaozhou, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it. ”

Gongsun Kang smiled silently, as a strategist, he must not only ask questions, but also be able to propose solutions, which is a qualified strategist.

Xi Zhicai continued: "So I suggest that 400,000 immigrants cannot come together, but in batches, depending on the acceptance capacity of Jiaozhou, and come in batches within a few years." ”

Xun You also spoke, and he asked Gongsun Kang: "In a few years, the lord probably has no plan to attack the body poison and Guishuang, right?" ”

Gongsun Kang laughed and gave them a secret: "Before the unification of the Central Plains, I will not attack the body poison and Guishuang." Now it's just the layout. The territory of the body poison and Kushan is vast, no less than the territory of the entire Han Dynasty, and without the power of the whole country, it is impossible to defeat these two empires. ”

Xun You still frowned, he said: "The resettlement of immigrants and the supply of food and grass for soldiers all need to be coordinated, and you can't just rely on the scholars." I'll stay, stay here for a few years, and wait for the lord to unify the Central Plains. ”

Xun You is a great talent, and he can be picked up in the military and in power, but is it useless to throw him here? Gongsun Kang was a little hesitant and a little reluctant.

This kind of thing, Xi Zhicai is a bystander, and knows that leaving Xun You is the best choice. But he couldn't persuade him, and no matter how good his friends were, he couldn't say it, lest he have a bad reputation of being jealous of the virtuous.

So Xun Yu had to persuade Gongsun Kang by himself. In the end, Gongsun Kang agreed. He said: "Then I will appoint Gongda as the pastor of Jiaozhou, and I will take charge of everything in Jiaozhou, and Wen Ze will also obey you!" ”

Xun You and Yu Ban both replied: "No! ”

Shi Xie is nominally only the Taishou of Jiaozhi County, so Xun You's Jiaozhou Pastor and Shi Xie's official positions do not conflict, but can manage Shi Xie.

Gongsun Kang talked about the appointment of Jiaozhou officials, he said: "There are six counties in Jiaozhou: Jiaozhi County, Yulin County, Cangwu County, Zhuya County, Gaoliang County, and Nanhai County. Among them, the sergeants occupied the county guards of the four counties. I promise that they can continue to govern, but also that they have the right ability. If there is a prevarication or lack of capacity in the resettlement of migrants and the supply of grain and grass, Gongda can first dismiss him from his post and then report it. ”

This is the right to appoint and dismiss Xun You's officials, which shows that Gongsun Kang has absolute trust in Xun You.

After Xun You's matter was finished, Yu Ban had something to say, he said: "The last general can command the infantry of the three Koreas, but the last general of the navy is not able to catch it, so please send another candidate to the lord." ”

Gongsun Kang laughed loudly and said, "Wen is afraid that the military power is too great, so he took the initiative to divide the troops and check and balance each other." ”

Yu Ban was told by Gongsun Kang that he was worried about it, and hurriedly said: "The last general will not dare."

Gongsun Kang muttered: "It's okay, I'll send another naval governor." Ziyi, do you have any recommended candidates? ”

This recommendation cannot be recommended indiscriminately, in case the recommended person rebels, Tai Shici will be jointly and severally liable. Tai Shi Ci considered several of his lieutenants. Then he said: "The last general has been in contact with Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoqi in Qingzhou. The Admiral thinks they are all suitable. ”
