Chapter 221: The Change in Nanzhong (Second Update)
Liu Feng made the army stationed outside Guangxin City on this day, and then met with Xu Shu and Xu Shu all the officials of the size of the cangwu, so he went to Yizhou, Liu Feng intended to make Xu Shu accompany him, so the people left behind in Cangwu City also need to be motivated by a good life, lest once something happens in Jingzhou during this period, Cangwu can not play the purpose of the portal.
After this meeting, Liu Feng recognized Xu Shu's achievements even more, although Cangwu is a county in Jiaozhou, but not like Jiaozhi, the people are mostly local people, Cangwu these hundreds of thousands of people, almost half of them are people from the Central Plains to avoid the disaster of war, passing through Jingzhou to here, and the remaining half, is with the general local tribesmen, therefore, between the two parties, there are many contradictions, just because Wu Ju was rampant here, the people are tired of running for their lives, and Cangwu County is sparsely populated, and the villages are far apart, This did not provoke a major dispute.
However, after Xu Shu took over Cangwu, he knew that the vast territory of Cangwu could not be so deserted, and Liu Feng suggested that even if he started to build an official road connecting Cangwu and Jingzhou, Jiaozhi at both ends.
It is still easy between Cangwu and Jingzhou, because there was a trade pipeline before, so Xu Shu only slightly expanded it, and then added several post stations, plus Gan Ning built warships in Nanhai County, trained sailors, and transported timber on this path all year round, so Cangwu to Guiyang, Jingzhou, between the two counties, it was prosperous in a few months.
But between Cangwu and Yulin County, Hepu County, Jiaozhi County and other counties deep in Jiaozhou, but because of the bad relationship between Wu Ju and Shixie in recent years, the road is very dangerous.
Moreover, Liu Feng successively sent troops to Jiaozhi, so Xu Shu mobilized all the defenders in Cangwu County, which took two months, and only with the cooperation of Shixie, the road between Cangwu and Jiaozhi was widened several times, enough for the army to march forward.
It is precisely because of this that the distance between Cangwu and the surrounding counties has been shortened a lot, and under Xu Shu's tax reduction, more and more people have placed their villages closer to the city, rather than hiding far away.
Although it is said that in the troubled times, it is just a common thing to die by fighting, but Xu Shu attaches great importance to this matter, and because of this matter, all the officials of the county where the fighting village is located are dismissed, and then closed the door for more than ten days, and finally implemented the current official selection system in Cangwu.
In those counties where the people who migrated from the Central Plains and the original people of Jiaozhou were mixed, Xu Shu chose a highly respected person among the two parties, so that these two people were in charge of the county together, and they were rewarded for their merits and punished, and once there was another armed fight, they would be dismissed and punished heavily.
In this way, the officials who were elected to be in charge of the county all cooperated sincerely, and in Cangwu, there was almost no more thing of people of different races fighting, and the people of the Central Plains taught the people of Jiaozhou about grazing and farming, and the people of Jiaozhou also handed over the planting of many special products in Jiaozhou to the people of the Central Plains.
"This year, the hard work is straight! There is no one in this world who can achieve the effect of Yuan Zhi today! ”
It took almost half a day, Liu Feng has already controlled all the changes in this cangwu, and when he returned to Xu Shu's mansion to rest, Liu Feng held Xu Shu's hand tightly and said this, and his eyes were also full of true feelings, if there was no Xu Shu's painstaking efforts in this year, Cangwu should not have this change, and only Xu Shu could not have the slightest arrogance, and knew what Liu Feng thought in his heart, and did not regard Cangwu as a barren place, but a springboard for Liu Feng to assimilate the land of Jiaozhou......
"If you can make the lord satisfied, you will have no regrets in your heart!" How hard this year is, only Xu Shu knows in his heart, now that Liu Feng has been praised so much, Xu Shu is naturally quite proud, compared to Pang Tong's edge, what Xu Shu has done is very introverted, and it is this kind of merit in the present and in the future generations, which is what Liu Feng must do to chase the Central Plains and strive for the lord of China.
That night, Liu Feng and Xu Shu talked in detail in the house until the middle of the night, and then they went to sleep, this time to go to Yizhou, Xu Shu is the only adviser on Liu Feng's side, and therefore go to a long distance, although the 20,000 soldiers and horses who followed Liu Qi in Jiaozhi are already quite familiar with Xinggu Bird Road, but after all, once they enter the land of Xinggu County, they are considered to have left Jiaozhou and entered Nanzhong.
In the land of Nanzhong, there are many tribes, especially in Yizhou County, which is the territory of the ancient kingdom of Dian in the Southern Barbarians, until Emperor Wu returned to the Han Dynasty, and now it has entered the troubled times. Therefore, Liu Feng described this situation in detail with Xu Shu, and the two of them made a lot of plans that night in case of emergency, so they felt a little relieved.
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Feng and Xu Shu left Cangwu together and rushed to Jiaozhi, and at the same time, far away in Yunnan County, Yizhou County, Nanzhong, there were two people sitting opposite each other drinking, one of them was dressed as a Han person, one was dressed in a cyan robe, about forty years old, and the other was dressed in strange costumes, the clothes were full of colorful things, but they were born to be powerful, full of horizontal meat, at a glance, they knew that their martial arts were outstanding.
"What you said the day before yesterday, I don't know what Chief Meng was thinking? According to what Shi Xie said in his letter, in another month or two, Liu Feng of Jingzhou will lead tens of thousands of troops here. After the two of them had a drink, the man in the robe was the first to speak with a solemn look on his face.
The person who spoke out was one of the heroes of Nanzhong who had some friendship with Shi Xie, named Yonghong, before Shi Xie was repairing the book and sending it to this person, saying that Liu Feng borrowed the matter of Nanzhong, although Yonghong responded to the matter in the reply letter, and then summoned Meng Shu, the leader of the Yi people in Nanzhong, to the house to discuss the matter, after the previous fruitless, seeing that Liu Feng was coming, he invited Meng to bring up the matter again.
"Then Liu Feng is just going north from the Xinggu Bird Road, passing through here, if he has a plot against my Nanzhong, he will destroy it, why is he so restless?" Meng Shu dominated the Yi tribe in Nanzhong for several years, knowing that the Central Plains was in turmoil, and no one was interested in this wild place, so he waved his hand again and again.
"Can the leader of Meng Huo know, why did this Liu Feng borrow my Nanzhong?" Yonghong sighed when he heard this, and asked mysteriously.
