Guangxin was besieged, and Wu Ju was not willing to run away alone. There were still tens of thousands of people in the city, and Wu Ju decided to fight again. Although Guangxin's food supply was closed to the 30,000 army for half a year, there are still many stocks. Wu Ju is Liu Biao's person, and he is a nail that Liu Biao drove into Jiaozhou. Although there is no next step, there is still a lot of food hoarded in Guangxin, even if it costs a lot to be closed, it can still support three or four months. Wu Ju firmly believed that the enemy's food outside the city would last for three or four months, and he would definitely retreat first.

Wu Ju's idea is very naïve, because he is limited, and he doesn't know how powerful Zhang Yi is.

Pan Zhang put Wang Xiang and others in Xuwen County first, and then returned to Shanghai Port to pull supplies. After half a month of going back and forth, I finally returned to Xuwen County. It is very simple to go from Xu Wen to Zhu Yazhou, but it is very difficult to take Zhu Yazhou. Because there is no county governance here, it does not belong to the rule of the Han Dynasty.

But there are people on Zhuyazhou, so it can be said that they are indigenous! In fact, many of these natives came across the sea and were immigrants from Jiaozhou. However, these immigrants were all from all dynasties, including the Yue, Qin, and Han people, and finally mixed together to form the indigenous people here. Because they rarely communicate with the outside world, they don't know anything about the outside world.

After Pan Zhang returned to Xuwen, he sent ships to look for a port in the northern part of Zhuyazhou. In the place of Haikou in later generations, a port was found and a camp was built.

After the construction of the camp was completed, Pan Zhang brought supplies and Wang Xiang and others to the camp.

"Wang Envoy, I have completed the preliminary work, and now you will preside over it." Pan Zhang said respectfully to Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang has been in Lujiang all these years without moving, just because he wants to honor his mother. The reason why he was able to be appointed as the Taishou of Zhuya County this time was also because his mother died a year ago. Originally, Wang Xiang wanted to keep filial piety for his mother for three years, but he didn't even want to be an official. However, Zhang Yi deliberately allowed him to handle affairs in Xiaotang, because Lujiang no longer had any difficult political affairs to handle, and many things did not need Wang Xiang to complete by himself.

In less than a year, Zhang Yi sent three love letters in a row to make Wang Xiang stop keeping filial piety. Zhang Yi really doesn't have any good candidates, Jingzhou's talents need to be rebuilt, familiar with his policies within half a year, and they still need to serve in Yangzhou, so it will take a year or two to be sent abroad. Zhang Yi is very cautious about the appointment of officials, and Zhang Yi has also brushed down a lot of unqualified officials, and even made a punishment of prohibiting how many years he will be an official, and dividing the crime by the criminal law.

There are actually very few officials like Wang Xiang, which makes Zhang Yi very important to Wang Xiang. However, Wang Xiang's talent is not very outstanding, at most it is at the county level. However, Wang Xiang is good at one thing, he can set an example for other officials, so Zhang Yi decided to give Wang Xiang a very meritorious appointment. Although Zhuyazhou is barren, it does expand its territory, as long as Zhuyazhou is developed well, it will be a great achievement.

Wang Xiang also knew Zhang Yi's thoughts, and it was already an open secret that Zhang Yi liked people with high moral character. He can be said to be very conniving with Fan Zhongyan, Hua Xin, and Wang Xiang, just like allowing Wang Xiang to work in Xiaotang, which can be seen. However, this noble character is not about themselves, it depends on whether they are selfish and selfish, which is the focus of Zhang Yi's attention.

Wang Xiang is very polite to people, "Then it will trouble General Pan." ”

Pan Zhang said: "So how do we start? ”

Wang Xiang said: "The lord said that Zhuyazhou is an island, so please send people to find some ports around Zhuyazhou, four to five places!" We first established the county government, and General Pan asked the soldiers to help us build the city first, and then accompanied our officials to find local people to fill our population. ”

"Okay, I'll tell you to go down."

Wang Xiang nodded, "Let's build the county first!" ”

Pan Zhang immediately instructed his subordinates to help Wang Xiang establish the city first. This city is called Zhu Ya, and the name was said by Zhang Yi in passing.

The construction of Zhuya City was still very smooth, and Pan Zhang's materials were also used to build Zhuya, and he brought in a lot of craftsmen, took local materials, and completed a wooden camp first. Anyway, there are no people, basically soldiers and craftsmen.

Pan Zhang's fleet was not idle, and in addition to looking for a new port, he had to go back and forth to Shanghai to bring supplies and some people. Previously, the navy had a lot of people in Qingzhou, and these were all people who needed to get to Zhuyazhou, but they were temporarily settled in Wu County. There are a lot of materials in Wu County, which Zhang Yi is preparing to develop and use in Jiaozhou, so he is not afraid that these people will not have food.

They only stayed in Wu County for a month or two, and Zhang Yi's food was still expensive.

It's just that from Zhuyazhou to Shanghai City, it takes a bit of time, and it takes at least half a month to go back and forth, which makes people uncomfortable.

The construction of Zhuya County takes a long time, not overnight. The main reason is that the population is too small, as long as the population comes up, with the wisdom of the people, construction will soon be able to come up.

Naturally, there are other things to do in the infrastructure, and Wang Xiang's job is to recruit locals. Wang Xiang took a team of soldiers sent to him by Pan Zhang, and began to search for local residents in the vicinity, and they did find it, but there were some problems, that is, the language was not very clear.

Wang Xiang came to a village, and the people in the village saw a lot of soldiers and immediately became vigilant. Wang Xiang left most of the soldiers outside the village, and he walked into the village with only two soldiers and began to communicate with the people inside.

If the language is not understood, Wang Xiang quickly completed the communication with the people inside. As a result of the communication, Wang Xiang and the people in the village reached a preliminary agreement, that is, mutual markets. Wang Xiang invited them to trade in his newly built city, bartering or working.

Over the course of a month, Wang Xiang visited more than 10 villages. A month later, the first mutual market opened, and people from these villages really came, but very few people from each village. They didn't trust Wang Xiang, only some bold people came over, and they came for the village to see if what Wang Xiang said was true.

When they came to the place where Wang Xiang said, they were also stunned. A walled city of wood appeared here. This walled city looks very big from a distance, they have all been to this place, but there is really nothing, how can such a fortress appear in a few months?

Outside the city, columns of goods, mainly cloth, salt, and farm tools, appeared, all of which were needed by the villages.
