The news quickly spread back to Liaodong, and Ye Chen felt that things were a bit of a big problem. %∷8%∷8%∷Read%∷Book,.≮.※o

The emperor has given a lot of power, he has already held the military and political power, and now he has even given the power to recruit troops and collect taxes freely, Ye Chen is like a soil overlord.

In the past, it was only temporary, but now it is directly issued with a holy decree, and there is no time limit, that is to say, as long as the imperial court does not explicitly cancel it with a holy decree, then Ye Chen has always had these powers.

Now even Xuansu County has been given to Ye Chen, so that Ye Chen and the northern grassland are directly bordered.

In this way, there are many benefits, it is directly bordered by the north, and many things do not need to be concealed, in the past, Ye Chen traded with the northern grassland, in the name of transporting army supplies, if Xuansu County was under Ye Chen's control, it would be blatant.

Moreover, its own strategic depth can be expanded, and its sphere of influence can also be expanded considerably.

Although Xuansu County cannot be compared with Liaodong, because Xuanwu County directly borders the northern grasslands, it is often invaded, and the climate is worse than that of Liaodong, and a large number of people have fled to Liaodong over the years, so although Xuanwu County is a county, its population is only tens of thousands.

It is of great significance to be able to take over Xuansu County, although Wuhuan will not attack now, but there are not only Wuhuan in the north, but also the Xiongnu, and the Turks, with Xuanwu County, the defense of the north is even better.

It's just that Ye Chen felt that his head was big, because Ye Chen's feints scared the imperial court half to death, and promised Ye Chen a very big benefit, allowing him to resist the Wuhuan army alone for three months.

If it was finally discovered that this Wuhuan had not invaded the south at all, Ye Chen didn't know how to end it. Do you tell the court because you are afraid of yourself? If Wuhuan is afraid of Ye Chen, should the court also be afraid of Ye Chen?

So since this play has begun, it has to be sung, and it has to be sung well.

"Fengxiao, Zilong, Yunchang, what do you think should be?" Ye Chen's head is a little big, it is very simple to fool the past, but it is easy to deceive the imperial court, but it is not easy to deceive the people of the world.

"My lord, don't worry, we can just act in a high-profile manner. As long as you send a large army north, you can block the mouth of the people by making enough gestures. Guo Jia said.

Guo Jia's words make sense, from his point of view, his thinking is completely reasonable, and it is a very good idea.

Ye Chen originally wanted to use Wuhuan to destroy the Zhang family in Jixian County, but he had been planning for a long time, and Ye Chen was absolutely sure that he would get things done. On second thought, it was completely unfeasible.

Ye Chen came from the later generations, and did not regard Wuhuan as a foreigner, but at this time, Wuhuan was still a foreigner, no matter how great your credit for colluding with foreigners is, no matter how good the court is to you, as long as it is known, no one in the world will let you go.

Therefore, Ye Chen did not plan to do this, otherwise the Wenchen generals under him might abandon him.

In other words, Wuhuan can't go south this time, but he has to act like a play, Ye Chen has no choice but to use Guo Jia's method to go north in a high-profile manner, and then let the Wuhuan people make a few feints.

"Well, this is the only way to go, and now that the imperial court has Xuansu County under my control, you think about it, how should it be arranged."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and took the lead in speaking: "Lord, this Xuansu County is located in the north, and it is extremely vulnerable to attack when it is connected to the grassland, so you can't put too much industry before you are sure that the enemy is outside the border." ”

Several people listened to Guan Yu's words and nodded, Xuanwu County does not have much economic value at present, the population is too small, but the military strategic value is not low, and it is closely connected to the northern grassland.

"Second brother, Xuansu County is really difficult to defend, the city walls are low, and the city is very dilapidated, if you accept Xuanwu County, I'm afraid you will have to take a good rest."

Zhao Yun doesn't understand economic matters, and he won't pay attention to them, but from a military point of view, he knows that Xuanwu County is a mess.

No matter how bad Xuanwu County is, it is also very important for Liaodong, once the northern grasslands attack, Liaodong has a few days of reaction time, and militarily, a few days can often change everything.

"Lord, my subordinates suggested that this Xuansu County should be positioned militarily, Xuansu County has a vast area, but the population is very small, and it is not easy to develop the economy, so at present, military use is the focus." Guo Jia said.

Ye Chen pondered for a long time, thinking carefully about the development of Xuansu County.

"The economy of Xuansu County must also develop, at least to achieve self-sufficiency without the support of Liaodong, my suggestion is that Xuansu County will concentrate the population, build three big cities along the southbound passage, and concentrate the population around the big city."

Everyone took a breath of cool air after hearing Ye Chen's words, if this was really the case, then Xuansu County would become a military town, and its military value would be extremely high, but the same Xuanwu County would also become a burden, and its economy would not be self-sufficient.

"Lord, if you want to build a big city, and a big city with a population of tens of thousands, I'm afraid the Ye family can't afford it at present." Guo Jia said to Ye Chen after thinking about it.

"I know we can't afford it at the moment, but we don't have to build three big cities at once, we can build one first, and build a big city close to Liaodong first, so that it is convenient for Liaodong to mobilize resources, and it will not stimulate the grassland peoples in the north."

Ye Chen is ambitious, to gain a foothold in Liaodong, as a base, the grasslands in the north are always a threat, when a few big cities are established in the southbound passage, when there is no strength, you can defend, and when you have strength, you can use it as a base to attack the grasslands in the north.

"Well, this has an impact on Liaodong, but it is acceptable." Guo Jia nodded and agreed with Ye Chen's opinion.

"It's just what about the population, what can you do?" The construction of a city did not happen overnight, and in addition to a large amount of money and food, it also required a lot of labor.

"My lord, you can requisition the Yellow Turban soldiers and their families, and you can also use the criminals in the prison, and the future homeless people will also be resettled in Xuansu County first." Guo Jia suggested.

"Criminals and homeless people are fine, but the yellow scarves that Zhang Liang picked up can't be used for the time being, and they are just right to be placed on overseas islands."

It turned out that the population that Ye Chen had returned from trading with Zhang Liang in Jizhou had been put on the islands, and these islands were all islands where Ye Chen was the base, and Zhang Jing also followed.

Although it was placed on the island, Ye Chen did not treat them badly at all, helped them build houses, distributed tool seeds for free, and distributed enough food to each family. △≧△≧，

The area on the island is large enough to accommodate a population of more than 100,000, and Ye Chen has opened up a large amount of farmland on the island, on which they can produce and live.

At first, Zhang Jing had a lot of opinions, but when Ye Chen really helped the yellow turbans to live, Zhang Jing stopped.

Ye Chen put them on the island, still afraid that they would bring instability, Liaodong already had a lot of Yellow Turban troops, but they were scattered all over the place, and the total number was not much, so it was easy to control.

If the population of the Yellow Turbans was large enough to a certain extent, it was likely to bring security risks, so Ye Chen placed them on the island, because the Yellow Turbans could not completely disperse them like before.

Then the problem arises again, if there is no population to join in the construction of the city, then it will not be so easy to build three big cities, population. Ye Chen found that he was short of population again.

At present, although the Han Dynasty is still full of displaced people, there is no war around Youzhou, and now I heard that Wuhuan is going south again, and the displaced people from other states and counties dare not come.

There was a population gap all of a sudden, and Ye Chen was very helpless, but it had to be solved, otherwise it would take three big cities to be built, and I don't know what year and month it would take to build.
