The weather is getting warmer, and people are coming out one after another to get busy and prepare for the future!

Chengdu City Market has gradually become lively, with a state of rejuvenation.

In the palace study.

Liu Chan held the fold sent by Deng Zhi in his hand, with a smile on his face, what Deng Zhi sent was the current progress of Hanzhong, as well as a water conservancy topographic map.

After all, Hanzhong is rich and fertile, with nearly 40,000 people moving over in Chengdu, the most basic land allocation has been completed, and the construction of water canals is also being prepared, but from the water conservancy topographic map sent by Deng Zhi, it is not difficult to see that the entire land of Hanzhong needs the main river of Hanshui to revitalize.

"Bo Miao is worthy of being a great talent in my Shu, although I don't know a water conservancy policy, but I also see the convenience of these four canals, with the mountain ridge as the main road, take the top of the Han River, and continuously transport it to the fertile fields at the foot of the mountain, which is indeed ingenious."

Spreading out Deng Zhi's water conservancy topographic map to look at everyone, Liu Chan smiled.

The ministers below stepped forward to watch, and after a while, they nodded in agreement, the terrain in Shuzhong has undergone great changes.

Four hundred years ago, Liu Bang was also in Shu, and four hundred years later, Liu Bei also entered Shu, but according to the original history, Liu Bei ended up trapped in Shu and was not able to rush out, which is not just the difference in strength between the two sides.

Imagine that Xiang Yu was also very powerful back then, the only difference with Cao Cao was that Xiang Yu's IQ was not good, and he did not listen to the words of the strategists, he could only be a general, but Cao Cao was a treacherous and cunning, and he was famous for knowing his mistakes and not admitting his mistakes.

In addition, that is the terrain in Shuzhong has changed!

This is not nonsense, but a real thing, during the Han Dynasty, there was a huge earthquake in Shuzhong, and it was this earthquake that changed the direction of Hanzhong.

The original Ming plank road was darkly Chencang, smuggled across the Han River, and invaded the Central Plains in one fell swoop, and in the Three Kingdoms period, it was completely impossible to follow, and the waterway in Shu was completely cut off, if you want to attack the Central Plains by water, you must pass through Xiangyang, Jingzhou.

So this is the reason why Zhuge Liang sighed about the loss of Jingzhou, because of the loss of Jingzhou, the plan of the Shu army to advance by land and water could not be realized, and at the same time, this increased the difficulty of Shu to attack the Central Plains.

With such a major matter to discuss, Kong Ming was naturally present, and glanced at the water conservancy topographic map lying quietly on the bookcase, with a hint of relief in his bright eyes.

What he gave Deng Zhi was not so complete, or just a reference, just like a mathematical calculation problem, he just showed the final answer, and the whole step still needs Deng Zhi to slowly deduce, and now it is obvious that Deng Zhi has done it.

"Lord Shangshu is really a great talent, first he sent an envoy to Jiangdong for my Shu State to promote the Shu-Wu Alliance, and now he is so prosperous in Hanzhong, he is really the pillar of Shu!"

Hearing someone say this, Liu Chan remembered another point, according to historical calculations, although Deng Zhi was hung up in 251 AD, but he was a famous longevity in the Three Kingdoms, he almost saw the chaotic times at the end of the Han Dynasty and the decades at the end of the Three Kingdoms, when he died, he was eighty-eight, and he should be sixty-one years old now, but judging from his appearance alone, Deng Zhi was still thirty or forty years old, and Liu Chan's curiosity was inexplicably ignited at this moment.

But you can't ask if you're curious, you ask this dignifiedly, what kind of eyes will the civil and military forces present look at you?

Kong Ming respectfully bowed: "Your Majesty, now that Han Chinese has Bo Miao, Wu has Hussar General Ma Chao, Zhenbei General Wei Yan, these three people are guarding the town, it can be said that the northern border is safe, it is time for us to start the matter of Nanzhong!" ”

Nanzhong ...... Yonghong, Zhu Bao, and Gaoding rebelled, known as 100,000 troops, but this is not very powerful in some history books, but Meng Huo, this barbarian clan, dragged Zhuge Liang for nearly a year, and there are even allusions to the capture of Meng Huo seven times.

But that's all next year, although the current Liu Chan wants to prepare for everything, but he only thinks about recruiting troops, and it is still early before the Pingnan Rebellion, and it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen during this period.

"Father, I am also anxious about the affairs of Nanzhong, especially when I think that my Han people are being ravaged by the rebellious army, my heart aches, and I can't wait to send troops to destroy this group of rebels immediately, but I have no guerrillas in Shu, if you want to quell the chaos, you must recruit soldiers!" The drama essence was on the body, and Liu Chan said with a handful of snot and tears.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's very difficult to recruit troops for a while! Chengdu first allocated 40,000 people to Hanzhong, but now the population is less than 100,000, how can it recruit so many soldiers? Kong Ming was a little unwilling, but despite this, he did not complain about Liu Chan's relocation in his tone, although Liu Chan's relocation was all about some strong masters.

According to the ratio of military and civilian in ancient times, it should be one to ten, and 10,000 soldiers and horses can be formed out of 100,000 people, once the burden of the country will be a little heavy, and at the same time, combined with the total population of Shu, Wu and Wei in the history books and the number of soldiers and horses, it can also be seen that the Three Kingdoms have been controlling this number and have been hovering at this critical point, but no one dares to exceed it easily, and the soldiers and horses are not so easy to feed.

If you recruit troops according to the conventional method, Chengdu is indeed difficult, you can only pull out 10,000 people, how to quell the chaos of 10,000 people, in history, Zhuge Liang took 30,000 new armor to the south, deep into the barren land, and it took a lot of hard work to succeed.

10,000 people, don't think about it, it's definitely over, not to mention the seven captures of Meng Huo, there won't be many people in the last few rounds!

"What if, in accordance with the policy of encouraging military service and military service that we put forward earlier, the recruited soldiers will go to a certain extent to assist the people in farming, so as to form a virtuous circle?" Liu Chan thought about it.

After all, judging from the table book played a few days ago in Iraq, Shuzhong now shows a benign development situation in terms of population and people's livelihood, except for military service, their lives are actually similar to those in peacetime, especially after the price problem gradually stabilizes, the role of regular closing is getting bigger and bigger, and the people have been able to feel a sense of happiness after the war.

"Your Majesty, even so, you can only barely increase the quota of a few thousand more people, after all, everything has a limit, and even if it is profitable, it will be a temporary benefit, and it will usher in a bigger problem in the future." Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly.

Liu Chan has always believed that since his crossing, everything will only develop in a good direction, but now he didn't expect that because of his decision to relocate, it affected the affairs of Pingnanzhong, presumably Zhuge Liang requisitioned 30,000 people from the base of more than 100,000 people is already the limit.
