February of the sixth year of Zhongping.

Two years have passed in a flash, and in these two years, Yizhou has developed rapidly as always.

Zhou Fan has opened up barren fields and repaired water conservancy in recent years, so that the people of Yizhou can live and work in peace, everyone has surplus food, and wears new clothes every year, and Zhou Fan's status in the hearts of the people of Yizhou has risen sharply, even if it is not an exaggeration to say that there is only Zhou Fan but not the Son of Heaven.

For the people, all they need is food and clothing, plus a place to live, and whoever can bring them these things, they will believe it, it's that simple.

At the same time, Zhou Fan also vigorously encouraged business, which was most despised by the literati, which made the economic level of Yizhou also rise by a whole notch.

Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, this sentence is undoubtedly a perfect description of Yizhou.

Why is it so expensive to buy the Shu brocade produced in Yizhou, first, because this Shu brocade is indeed well-made and deserves this price. Second, isn't it because of the inconvenience of this transportation that the cost of transportation has been greatly increased, which makes the price of this Shu brocade sold outside at least ten times, or even dozens of times.

Similarly, the things sold in Yizhou are expensive, and the prices of the things sold outside are naturally rising exponentially, if it weren't for the fact that Yizhou is still a treasure land and can be self-sufficient, I'm afraid that the people of Yizhou are no better than the outside.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, Zhou Fan understands this truth deeply, in order to solve this problem, Zhou Fan also pulled the horse to tinker together, and really got the cement out.

With this treasure, all the problems were solved, and Zhou Fan immediately ordered a large amount of cement to be manufactured and transported to every place in Yizhou to pave the road.

At this time, those refugees and the slaves of Yue Songyi came in handy.

For those slaves of Yue Songyi, it is naturally not said, Zhou Fan captured them back in order to contribute to the construction of Yizhou, and for those slaves who worked, at least they could have food to eat every day. Will not starve.

Zhou Fan even promised that as long as he was a slave for five years, he would work hard during these five years, and he would be able to get rid of the status of a slave when the five years were up. Living in Yizhou.

As for those refugees, they are all Han Chinese, and the conditions are naturally much better, in addition to having food to eat every day, there is also an extra payment. More work, more rewards.

For these refugees, it is already a luxury to be able to eat well, and now they still have money to take, where to find such a good thing, one by one, they are like being beaten with chicken blood, working hard.

Under the stimulation of many times, the road in Yizhou is now better than before, I don't know how many times, from Hanzhong to Chengdu in the past, it took almost half a month, but now it only takes less than ten days. Doubled the time.

And now Chengdu, Zhou Fan dared to say unceremoniously, that has definitely surpassed Luoyang, has become the first city of the Han Dynasty today, all the city walls are made of a whole piece of cement, eight feet high, the city is for eight carriages to pass through at the same time, if not the cement production can not keep up, Zhou Fan plans to replace all the existing dangerous city walls in Yizhou with cement, so that the defense is naturally a higher level.

And on the side of the army. The 200,000 troops planned by Zhou Fan have now been completed.

The entire army of 200,000, of which there are 50,000 cavalry alone, although it is not as good as the number of Liangzhou iron cavalry. But in terms of quality, that's definitely a blow to them.

All the horses above the two-level intermediate war horse, plus stirrups and horseshoes, etc., who is the opponent of such a cavalry.

The number of sailors is small, only 20,000 for the time being, and the training is a little difficult to keep up. However, this is also because the ships are still a little unable to keep up, although there are shipwrights sent by his uncle Zhou Shang and Sun Jian, but after all, there are still too few. But fortunately, these water armies will not be used for at least a short time, and Zhou Fan still has a lot of time waiting for them to grow up.

The rest of the 130,000 were all infantry, including the 20,000 southern barbarian soldiers, all of whom were trained in an orderly manner, just waiting to see blood.

As for those most elite troops such as the Tiger Rider and the Wolf Guard, they have now been fully trained, including the 3,000 Xian Death Soldiers who are in Na Liyi.

These are all elite soldiers who can be ten with one, and they are also the trump cards of Zhou Fan's trump cards in the future to conquer the world.

This Yizhou is a piece of peace, living and working in peace and contentment, but the outside is not so comfortable, to put it simply, there is no big chaos, small chaos continues.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were only two major rebellions.

Once in Youzhou, the rebellion launched by Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, a native of Yuyang, spread to the entire Youzhou, and then was pacified by Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou.

As for the other time, it was naturally the rebellion of Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, but it had already been quelled by the army led by Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo two years ago.

However, although there is no such a big rebellion, the smaller rebellion has never stopped, and the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty have not been less troublesome.

Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled by Zhou Fan, there were still countless remnants of the Yellow Turban, taking advantage of the opportunity to start over again, which made the people deeply disturbed, and it can be said that the people were struggling to make a living.

Even Zhou Fan's own Yizhou was not spared.

Just half a year ago, there were Mianzhu people, self-named Yellow Turbans, who led thousands of refugees into Mianzhu, killed Mianzhu Order, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil.

When he first got the news, even Zhou Fan himself was taken aback.

He also remembered that when Liu Yan was the pastor of Yizhou in history, there seemed to be a Yellow Turban turmoil in Yizhou, and it was Jia Long who had already killed himself who pacified the Yellow Turban.

But Yizhou in history, how can it be compared with the current Yizhou, with a good peaceful life, but it still rebelled, and it was really looking for death.

For such a yellow scarf of less than 10,000 people, Zhou Fan naturally didn't pay attention to it, Zhang Jiao claimed that he didn't pay attention to one million people, not to mention the thousands of people in this area.

It happened that Zhou Yu had also been training in the army for a long time at that time, and wanted to prove himself, so Zhou Fan took this opportunity to give him 2,000 men to quell the rebellion.

Zhou Yu is Zhou Yu in the end, although he is still young, he still quelled this small rebellion very easily, and many people in the army took off their colored glasses.

He Zhou Yu has real skills, and not just his Zhou Fan's younger brother. (To be continued.) )
