Summer goes to autumn, and in a blink of an eye it is already the autumn of 187.

During this time, the Ye family was developing rapidly, and the Ye family's fleet successfully reached Yangzhou, set up a base point at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and had supplies, but Ye Chen could obviously directly enter the Yangtze River, arrive in Jingzhou, and trade directly with the Jingxiang family, but Ye Chen lied that the ship could not continue sailing and refused to enter.

If the Ye family's ship can only sail directly from Liaodong to Jingzhou, then after the war starts in the future, the Ye family will attract a lot of attention, which is strategically good and bad.

The advantage is to improve your reputation and status, but the disadvantage is that you may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and people will always guard against you.

It is beneficial to keep a certain distance from the scholars of Jingxiang, at least it is not easy to conflict, and it can do business for a long time.

The Ye family needs the market of Jingxiang, Jingxiang is rich, and it needs more, and at the same time, the Ye family also needs the influence of Jingxiang's family to develop wasteland and produce food in Yangzhou.

At this time, the walls of Shenyang City had been completed, construction in the city began, and some residents moved in.

The construction of Shenyang City has greatly improved the security of Liaodong, plus Ye Chen has built many workshops in the city, and warehouses have also been built, and the next step is to slowly fill it.

When necessary, the city of Shenyang could be used as a great wall blocking the northeast of Liao, preventing the Xiongnu or Turks from moving south.

When Shenyang City was completed, Ye Chen moved half of the population of the city to the south, so that they were ready to build another city, but there was no need to rush this city, and it didn't need to be built as big as Shenyang City.

The reason why he didn't build one in the north first, and built one directly on the edge of the grassland, was because at this time Ye Chen didn't dare to stimulate the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu had already invaded eastward, and the Wuhuan tribe was only a few hundred kilometers away, and the army could be attacked in a day, so Ye Chen stepped up the construction of Shenyang City, but he didn't dare to be too excited.

The second city is just prepared first, and there is no need to worry when it will be built, but it must be built within a year or two, at least the city wall will be built before Ye Chen leaves Liaodong.

In addition to Xuansu County, the other two counties, Lelang County and Daifang County, have also entered the harvest season, and now the two counties no longer need the Ye family to invest, they can already feed the Ye family, the affairs of the two counties can bring some income to the Ye family, and the taxes of the two counties can also provide a little help for Liaodong.

Although the two counties are not rich, they will not lag behind, and now that the city wall of Shenyang City has been completed, Ye Chen can also free up his strength to properly develop the two counties.

The two counties were also close to the sea, so shipping and fishing were developed first, and wharves were built in the two counties so that they could travel directly from the sea.

Of course, all the businesses of the Ye family needless to say, they are thriving, and various undertakings in Liaodong have been promoted by capital, and they are developing very fast.

With the experience of building a city for the first time, Ye Chen's second city building will also activate the role of capital, and the role of capital is infinite, directly making the entire Liaodong rich.

The autumn harvest was joyful, but Ye Chen also had sorrow, the Xiongnu in the north were stabilized by Liu Yu, but they did not go south, but invaded eastward.

To the east will threaten Wuhuan and Ye Chen, so Ye Chen will secretly prepare for war in Shenyang City.

In Shenyang, some military facilities are rushing to work day and night, and at the same time, the Tuntian soldiers led by Guan Yu are also stepping up training.

After looking at the situation in Liaodong, and looking at the entire Han Dynasty, Luoyang is already cloudy, and there may be heavy rain at any time, Dong Zhuo has become bigger, and now he does not listen to the announcement or the tune, and the imperial court has to send more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to confront Dong Zhuo to prevent him from suddenly rebelling and threatening Chang'an.

Dong Zhuo can do so big, stronger than in history, this is inseparable from Ye Chen's support, and now almost all of Dong Zhuo's weapons are produced with Ye Chen's help, which are all equipped by Dong Zhuo's huge amount of money obtained through the salt trade.

Ye Chen felt that this Dong Zhuo seemed to be helping him work, helping him sell salt, and then the money he obtained asked Ye Chen to buy weapons, and then the money was earned by Ye Chen.

Of course, Ye Chen earned more money than Dong Zhuo, but Ye Chen's money was used to develop the economy and construction, the military has not expanded, the regular army has not expanded, but the militia and Tuntian soldiers have expanded a lot.

However, Ye Chen still hoarded a lot of military supplies, from weapons to grain and grass, if a war broke out, I believe it would be no problem to last for two years.

Today's world seems to be calm, but there are hidden crises everywhere, and the rebel forces of the people have been active, although several rebellions have been quelled by the imperial court, but it can be seen that the entire Han is getting weaker and weaker.

Ye Chen has been in Xianxian recently, and Cai Yan and Dongxue have also been brought to Xianxian.

Now that the senior school in Yuxian County has been built, and students and teachers have settled in, Zheng Xuan and Cai Yong have better conditions for research, and they have produced more results.

"Master Ye, Zheng Zhengcheng is chatting with his disciples." Ye Chen went to find Zheng Xuan, but was told that Zheng Xuan was talking to his disciple.

"Who is this disciple, it seems that Zheng Xuan has been talking to him for several days." Normally, Zheng Xuan and Ye Chen would not bother when they were busy, and there was nothing urgent anyway.

"Master Ye, I heard that this is Zheng Xuan's proud disciple, who came to him from Xuzhou."

Ye Chen didn't feel anything strange about this, Zheng Xuan had many disciples, and now there were a few people who came to Zheng Xuan every day, many came from all over the country, and dozens of them had already lived in Liaodong.

Ye Chen didn't leave directly like before when he heard this, he was curious about Zheng Xuan being with him for a few days.

Ye Chen walked in quietly, Zheng Xuan didn't stop others from coming, but under normal circumstances, Ye Chen wouldn't disturb them.

Opposite Zheng Xuan was a man of about thirty years old, who was a little generous, listening to Zheng Xuan's lectures with relish, and several people around him were also Zheng Xuan's disciples, and they were anxious with pen and paper.

Ye Chen quietly sat down on the side, the man asked questions while listening, Ye Chen didn't know much about those scriptures, but listening to the man ask the key points every time, it can be seen that this person is also very knowledgeable.

"Gongyou, your scholar and internal affairs, although you have a lot of insights into the scriptures, but it is not suitable to be like a teacher, indulging in the scriptures, and governing one side is what you should do." After explaining, Zheng Xuan said to the man.

"Thank you for the teacher's explanation, the students are also thinking about going out, but they haven't made up their minds yet."

"Haha, there is a person in front of you who can make Gongyou display his talents, why don't Gongyou vote for it." Zheng Xuan said as he set his eyes on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen knew that he was talking about him, so he stood up and walked over generously.

"Zheng Gong, I took the liberty to come here and disturb Zheng Gong teaching students."

"It's okay, it's okay." Zheng Xuan waved his hand and said, "Gongyou, this is the helmsman of Liaodong, Ye Chen and Ye Taishou." ”

"The students have seen Taishou-sama." The man was very modest and quickly stood up to salute Ye Chen, and the rest of the students also stood up.

"Youguo, my student is quite talented, so the old man recommends it to you and let him work under you."

Ye Chen was quite surprised, although several of Zheng Xuan's students entered the government in Liaodong and served as county magistrates, but this was the first time that Zheng Xuan recommended someone to Ye Chen, so Ye Chen still attached great importance to it.

"Haha, if you can be recommended by Zheng Gong, you must be a great talent, and you must know how to make good use of it in the morning." Ye Chen is short of talents now, and he is of course very happy to be recommended by Zheng Xuan.

Since Zheng Xuan recommended it, even if he bought horse bones, Ye Chen would not let his position be too low, but what he was suitable for still had to be investigated.

"I don't know what Gongyou is good at?" After being polite, Ye Chen began to ask, considering how to arrange it.

"It's okay in internal affairs, especially good at logistics and architecture." That person is not modest, who is honest, that is the great Confucian of the world, he has to recommend it, if he is still modest, it is a slap in the face.

"Logistics, construction? If you're really good at logistics and architecture, there's a good place to go. "Isn't Xuansu County in need of such people now, logistics are needed to prepare for war, and Shenyang City is still under construction.

"Subordinate Sun Qian thanked Lord Taishou first." The man was very knowledgeable, and immediately thanked him.

"What do you say, what is your name?" Ye Chen suddenly shouted.

This surprised a lot of people, because although this Taishou was young, he was still very steady, how could he shout.

Sun Qian was stunned for a moment, could it be that there was something wrong with his name?

Although he was very puzzled, he still replied: "Subordinate Sun Qian, the word Gongyou, a person from Xuzhou." Dare to ask adults, but there is a problem? ”

Ye Chen also knew that he had lost his temper, they were all Sven people here, and it was indeed very rude to do this just now.
