Build a fortified city to block Wuhuan from going south.

With the strong city blocking, not to mention other places, at least Zhang Yu and their southeast Liaonan by the sea are safe.

In fact, Zhang Yu still felt a little passive, at least he wanted to go south to Xuansu County and build a big city there.

This big city Zhang Yu was chosen in today's Shenyang.

Build Shenyang City into a heroic city, a heroic city that the enemy cannot break, and then he can develop with peace of mind in Liaodong.

However, now Xuanwu County is not its own territory, and it can't be done yet.

However, it is a very urgent matter to establish the city of Xiangping in Liaodong first.

"My lord, to build a big city, this cost is not ordinary." Gu Yong calculated for a while, to build a big city, how to spend tens of millions of dollars on labor and other costs.

Tens of millions of dollars, Zhang Yu didn't want to take it out at once.

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said: "The city must be built, and it must be built big and built well, otherwise as soon as the enemy comes, we will abandon all our belongings and start anew." ”

"As for the money, I will find a way, and I will not lose any of you."

This time, Zhang Yu seized more than 10 million yuan, which was enough for initial use.

Some of the other Huiji counties can be supported, and they can also be exchanged from the system.

In fact, Zhang Yu has other intentions to build a big city, it can be said that there are similarities in the previous construction of Chidao, all of which are based on work for relief.

The difference is that Zhang Yu wants to attract the population of other places and increase the population of Liaodong.

Today's Liaodong has a population of only 100,000, which is too small for Zhang Yu to develop.

Therefore, Zhang Yu wants to attract a large number of people from the outside to enrich it.

In addition to building Jiancheng, Zhang Yu also formulated a large number of policies.

First of all, the entire Liaodong was disrupted by him, and the previous small families were also completely subdued, and it was useless to disobey it, at this time, Zhang Yu was not afraid of chaos, and if he didn't accept it, he would take it all.

No one in the entire Liaodong can pose any threat to Zhang Yu.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yu also established many strongholds in Liaodong for military purposes.

In addition, Zhang Yu vigorously develops the seaside.

Wharves were built, a large number of workshops were built, and a salt drying plant was built.

Table salt has been very important throughout ancient history.

Zhang Yu is not good at selling salt in other places, but there is no burden in selling it to the grassland.

The grassland population is also very large, especially after Zhang Yu exchanged the basic population, the grassland population has also skyrocketed, and there is a large demand.

Sold to the grassland, Zhang Yu could get horses and furs, as well as cattle and sheep.

Not to mention horses, cattle are also urgently needed by Zhang Yu, he made a zigzag plow, using oxen to pull the plow, which can greatly increase the area of cultivated land.

A complete set of development blueprints was drawn up by Zhang Yu and them in a simple tent.

After talking about the construction of internal affairs, Zhang Yu set his sights on several generals.

"Now we have no shortage of horses, except for some to bring back to Huiji County, the rest of the 20,000 will be left for you, and a horse farm must be established." Zhang Yu said to several generals.

Speaking of expanding the army, the eyes of several generals lit up.

Zhang Yu said: "At present, the size of the army should not be too large, with 10,000 cavalry, with two horses, and 10,000 infantry. We can't afford to raise more. ”

Liaodong only has a population of more than 100,000 people, and it really can't afford to raise more troops, even if it is 20,000 men and horses, Zhang Yu has to constantly replenish them from other places.

But Zhang Yu firmly believes that under his management, he will soon be self-sufficient.

The army is the guarantee, and without the protection of the army, the big family will be looted.

All the generals are excited, 20,000 troops, except for the imperial court, who can have such a big hand comparison.

Now there are only Zhang Yu's family with so many troops in a county.

It has been three days since these policies were formulated.

In the past three days, the people have gradually returned to their homes.

Many homes that were destroyed began to build new ones, and the people were not depressed, but full of energy.

The reason is simple, with the farm's struggle, their future has hope.

Zhang Yu didn't care about these miscellaneous things, and continued to improve his blueprint after arranging them.

"At present, the most important thing is to build a wharf and a big ship, so that the north and the south can communicate with each other."

The communication between the north and the south is too important for Zhang Yu.

"Report, lord, someone outside asked to see him, saying that the lord asked him to come." Zhang Yu was thinking about the problem in the big tent, when the soldier came to report.

Zhang Yu shook his head to sober himself up, and then said, "Let them in." ”

Soon, a young man wrapped in fur came in.

"An Yuan, I'm glad you can come back."

The person who came was An Yuan, who Zhang Yu rescued on the grassland.

"Meet Master Zhang." An Yuan bowed.

"Get up, please take a seat." Zhang Yu helped An Yuan up and asked him to sit down.

An Yuan was very excited to see Zhang Yu again, and told the story of his return.

When he came back, he also hid in Tibet, and it was difficult to avoid the Wuhuan people.

As he spoke, An Yuan said: "I am lucky, Lord Zhang rescued us, but there are many, many people still suffering on the grassland. ”

An Yuan said sadly, but Zhang Yu's heart moved.

"An Yuan, are there really a large number of Han slaves on this grassland? How many can there be? ”

Zhang Yu's question made An Yuan even more sad, and he was silent for a while and said, "I'm afraid there are tens of thousands." ”

Tens of thousands of Han Chinese slaves, which is a huge number.

"It seems that in addition to horse furs and so on, the slave trade should also be increased." Zhang Yu immediately considered that trading with Wuhuan could also allow them to trade with slaves, which could also allow Liaodong to rapidly increase its population.

"The demand for the grasslands has to be stimulated, so that they need a larger volume of transactions."

After Zhang Yu calculated, food and salt alone could not exhaust the grassland, so they needed more things.

Zhang Yu already planned to transport items such as immortal brew and tea to the grassland.

However, the fairy brew is too expensive, and only the nobles can drink it, and Zhang Yu wants to make all the grassland people fall in love with spirits.

You must know that in later generations, the men on the grassland liked spirits the most.

It is not difficult to brew spirits, but it is possible to follow the process of immortal brewing.

It's just that in the past, it took a long time to brew fairy liquor, and each process had to be carefully operated, but brewing ordinary spirits can be fast, low-cost, and low-priced, which is just right.

"An Yuan, your news is very important, I will find a way to rescue them back."

"Now that you have returned, it is better to continue to stay in Liaodong and continue to be the county magistrate." Zhang Yu was desperately short of talents, so he spoke out to keep An Yuan.

"My lord, I, can I continue to be an official and continue to do things for the people of Liaodong?" An Yuan said excitedly.

He has been removed from the imperial court, which has long thought he is dead.

"Of course, now I am in charge of Liaodong." Zhang Yu said confidently.

In the end, Zhang Yu arranged for An Yuan to be the county magistrate of Xiangping County, and now Xiangping City is to be rebuilt, and there is a shortage of manpower.
