Ye Chen's words made everyone fall into deep thought, if it was really as Ye Chen said, then it was indeed necessary to step up the arrangement.

"Lord, since this is the case, then let your subordinates take a small number of people back, and the large army will follow you, and then return to Liaodong after the injury is healed." Guo Jia also understood that the world was going to be in chaos, so he agreed with Ye Chen's statement.

"After I recover from my injuries, few people can stop me, don't worry, the army has been out to fight for so long, and I have to go back early to rest." Although the army can also rest here, Liaodong is their home after all, and there is still a big difference between going back and here.

"Nope."

"Yes, second brother, we will accompany you."

"My lord, your safety is the most important thing."

Seeing that several generals were opposed, Ye Chen was helpless, and finally thought about it and said: "Okay, Fengxiao will take some of the men and horses back, leaving 15,000 soldiers and horses, and you will take more than 2,000 people back first." ”

The reason why Ye Chen didn't let Guo Jia bring more people back was that he wanted to throw these ships directly to Cai Mao, since he didn't go back once, that part of the army would stay, and Xu Huang could practice day and night, and he could become elite soldiers faster.

Ye Chen had no opinion on this proposal, and asked Guo Jia to take more than 2,000 people back, and then the others stayed.

"Okay, after I go back, Fengxiao has to hurry up a few things." Ye Chen began to arrange his thoughts: "First, it is conscription, our overall army in Liaodong, not counting the militia, to reach 30,000 regular troops, Fengxiao will arrange it when he returns." ”

In today's Liaodong, both the economic base and the population are enough to support such an army, so Ye Chen decided to recruit soldiers.

"Well, my lord, now that our Liaodong preparation system is complete, this army of more than 10,000 can be pulled up in an instant, and it can be formed with a little training." Conscription may be difficult in other places, but it is no longer difficult in Liaodong, as long as the order is given, the government at all levels will take action and reach the villages, and the qualified soldiers will soon be sent to the designated places.

"Well, Feng Xiao will go back and get ready first, and when I return to Liaodong, I will immediately set up a special army, so I must recruit all the soldiers first, and then it will be easy to start." Ye Chen said.

"Next, the second thing, that is, to spend a lot of money to build a larger shipyard, not only the dock to increase, to expand, all kinds of craftsmen to expand the scale, and Cai Mao's cooperation you should all know that with Cai Mao's joining, the future shipping will only be more developed, we will be busier, and we will not lose because of Cai Mao's joining."

The ancients who Ye Chen said may not understand it very well, but in fact, it is not difficult to understand, that is, Cai Mao used his relationship to make the market bigger, and when the time comes, the north-south will be closer, and the Ye family will not be polite when they go out of the Yangtze River estuary.

The richness of Jingzhou is obvious to all, and when the time comes, Cai Mao requires that the goods of various families must be used as long as they can be used for shipping, and anyone dares to object?

Cai Mao now has a stable position in Jingzhou and has a huge power, even if he can compete with him, he will not be willing to fight Cai Mao because of this matter, and shipping can also reduce their costs, so that not only Jingzhou, but also Yangzhou will be driven, and shipping will only become more and more developed at that time.

That's why Ye Chen gave up the entire Yangtze River to Cai Mao so decisively, and later gave him so many benefits.

Dozens of old ships were disposed of to Cai Mao, Ye Chen could recover part of the cost, and then build bigger ships, ships that could sail far, for the ocean, Ye Chen was still looking forward to it.

Vigorously develop shipping, after Ye Chen's explanation, several generals understood it and admired Ye Chen's vision very much.

"The third thing is to continue to recruit displaced people, we recruited about 800,000 displaced people this time, but unfortunately in Luoyang when Yuan Shao robbed a part, when the princes fought Dong Zhuo, we sent a large number of people to recruit displaced people everywhere, but now it is impossible, these princes have returned to their respective territories, and they will not watch the continuous loss of displaced people, but there are still many places where there are displaced people, but the number is much less, so we will recruit this part of the displaced people."

The importance of the people, understood by all of you and did not need to be explained, and the matter was quickly passed.

"The fourth thing is to vigorously develop education, and this time there are also some school-age children enrolled by the displaced people, and we have not been able to cover everyone with education before, so we will try to open as many schools as possible this time. Nowadays, we have made significant progress in education, and the academic research in Liaodong has been fruitful, and has attracted some talents to take the initiative to go to Liaodong, with huge investment in education and a long cycle, but after a certain period of precipitation, the harvest is greater than anything. ”

"Fifth, organize the people to open up the wasteland..."

"Sixth, the salt works can be expanded, and now private salt can be sold publicly, and there is no need to be afraid of anyone."

"Seventh,"

Ye Chen arranged them one by one, and Guo Jia carefully wrote them down.

"Lord, I understand all this, I will do it as soon as I go back, and I don't know what kind of troops you want to build, Lord, we also have to build the corresponding equipment." Guo Jia asked.

Ye Chen thought for a while and said, "Heavy infantry, light infantry, heavy cavalry, light cavalry, archers." ”

"That's right." Ye Chen remembered something and said: "This Zhang Liao and Gao Shun have already been brought to Liaodong, after you go back, arrange for someone to take them around, find a way to recruit them down, and treat them as favorably as possible, but you can't let them escape." ”

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were captured by Ye Chen before, but they had been fighting at that time, and there was no time to recruit them, even if they surrendered, in that case, Ye Chen would not dare to use them, so let them go back with the fleet first, and now they are still imprisoned in Liaodong.

Guo Jia nodded in agreement, exchanged views with several other people, and finally held a meeting for more than two hours before dispersing.

This meeting is very important and definitely shows the development of Liaodong in the future.

After the meeting, Guo Jia left on the third day, bringing back all the treasures and money, these money treasures were enough for him to squander for a while, at least he could complete all the things that Ye Chen had arranged.

"My lord, here's a letter from you." Guan Yu took a letter to Ye Chen when he came in.

Ye Chen was puzzled, at this time, here, who could write to him.

"It's actually Sun Ce." Ye Chen opened the letter, which was written by Sun Ce, inviting him to his house.

After Sun Jian was killed by Huang Zu, Sun Ce's family moved to Jiangdu in Yangzhou.

"Okay, I'll go see him, it is estimated that the Sun family is also very difficult now." Ye Chen shook his head, but he didn't expect that in the end, he still couldn't change Sun Jian's fate.
