Returning to Heqi, Ming Jian immediately appointed Lu Su as the commander of Heqi County, in charge of the civil affairs and military affairs of Heqi City, and ordered the appointment of Qiao Yu as the county commander of Wancheng.

After just one month, the two places have completely settled down and entered a period of stable development.

Seeing such a situation, Ming Jian's heart also calmed down, and he was also ready to continue to attack Huainan.

The monarchs and ministers sat opposite each other, and Ming Jian asked: "Zijing, although I am the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, but now the land is only five states: Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, and Sili, and the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, I don't even have half of them, what does Zijing teach me?" ”

Lu Su said: "Your Majesty, if you are looking at the thirteen states today, although Your Majesty only occupies five of them, the places occupied by Your Majesty are all relatively wealthy places in the Han Dynasty, and with Your Majesty's cultivation strategy, these five states have long been better than the other eight states." After His Majesty took Huainan, he still needed to continue to implement the cultivation strategy, and the princes of the world did not know how to advance or retreat, and tried to fight against the imperial court, but they only knew that they would fight each other and not cultivate internal strength, and if this continued, they would be destroyed by the imperial court sooner or later. The people are the foundation of the society, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world, so the only thing suggested by the minister is the word [cultivation], as long as Your Majesty can endure it, the world will be unified sooner or later! ”

After listening to Lu Su's words, Ming Jian understood why he was able to take over Zhou Yu's class, this is a real person, a master of economic development.

It is very difficult to let Lu Su expand his territory, but there is absolutely no problem in making Lu Su defend it.

And Lu Su knows the foundation of the country's development, this is a good official, and his thinking is very avant-garde, which is different from many people today.

"What Zijing said, I understand, but the foundation left by the ancestors, I really can't bear to be destroyed by the princes, and now after a few years of cultivation, I feel that I have the foundation to conquer all kinds of rebels, and now that Huainan Yuanshu is about to be destroyed, who should I deal with next?" Ming Jian said again.

Lu Su hurriedly said: "Your Majesty must not be in a hurry! The development of the land of the five states and the development of the land of the thirteen states is completely different, although Your Majesty can now let the people of the land of the five states have enough to eat, but once the territory expands, it means that more people want to eat, Your Majesty must settle down in these places, if you continue to collect, you can only let the energy of the imperial court be dispersed, once there is a loophole in the rear, I am afraid that the previous efforts will be lost. ”

Lu Su meant that he still had to take it step by step, eliminate Huainan Yuan Shu, and cultivate for a while before cleaning up the next opponent.

Ming Jian smiled: "What Zijing said is yes, I am indeed in a bit of a hurry. Well, after the destruction of Yuan Shu, the entire Huainan land will be under the management of the imperial court, and then Jiangdong and the Central Plains will be completely connected, how does Zijing think that it can develop faster? ”

Lu Su said: "Your Majesty started in Xuzhou, but the minister thinks that Jiangdong is the foundation. First, Jiangdong's territory is wide enough, and there is a Yangtze River to defend, so His Majesty should devote his main energy to the six counties of Jiangdong, and if Jiangdong develops well, it will naturally drive the development of other states. In order to ensure the safety of Jiangdong, His Majesty must vigorously develop the water division, and with a strong water division, it can develop with peace of mind. In addition, in order to strengthen ties with other states, His Majesty should vigorously develop the maritime industry, from the Yangtze River to the sea, once the sea route is passed, the development of the entire imperial court will be more rapid. On this basis, build roads and bridges to closely connect Jiangdong and the states, so that the development of the entire imperial court will be driven, which is the development idea at this stage. As for the next stage, if His Majesty occupies the Central Plains, it is natural to shift the focus to the Central Plains, but this period is probably a bit long. ”

Lu Su's attention to the six counties of Jiangdong further illustrates his ability, this person is not radical at all.

Indeed, with the geographical location of Jiangdong, it is difficult for the princes of the Central Plains to threaten this area, but the imperial court can advance and retreat freely.

Lu Su's eyes are still on the bright side, he thinks that if the Han Dynasty wants to dominate the world, it will definitely take a long time, how does he know that Ming Jian is a systematic emperor? If he knew, I'm afraid Lu Su would have to reconsider what he said.

"Zi respects the talent, I admire!" Ming Jian nodded and said.

After a conversation with Lu Su, Ming Jian knew Lu Su's ability and understood the importance of Jiangdong to himself.

If this place is well developed, there will be a steady stream of soldiers and food in the future, which can support the military war of the imperial court.

However, now that other parts of the imperial court are also developing well, Ming Jian also believes that there is no need to develop in a corner of peace, and it is a big deal that other places will develop more slowly, and the imperial court will focus on the six counties of Jiangdong.

As for the sailors, the current sailors of the Han Dynasty are strong enough, and the ironclad ships are basically crushing, plus some warships as auxiliaries, the Han Sailors are invincible in the world.

Ming Jian immediately ordered the development of Jiangdong and the opening of Moling, preparing to build Moling into a special economic zone of the Han Dynasty.

With Moling as the center, it radiates all regions of Jiangdong.

Ming Jian appointed Liu Ye as the Moling County Commander, and in order to develop Moling faster, Ming Jian ordered the agricultural tax of Moling to be exempted, and the commercial tax was also exempted for three years, and then collected after three years.

As soon as this policy came out, a large number of businessmen frantically poured into Moling, and a large number of immigrants also went to Moling from Xuzhou.

Under these circumstances, the population of Moling continued to increase, and Ming Jian ordered that all the surrounding counties be incorporated into Moling for the purpose of resettlement of immigrants.

The orderly placement has brought the development of Moling into a new period.

At the same time, Ming Jian ordered the army to continue to advance, and within a few days, the troops came to the territory of Shouchun.

......

At this time, Yuan Shu began to become panicked, the strength of the Han army made him feel desperate, once Shouchun was broken by the Han army, Chen Guo would be finished.

Therefore, Yuan Shu hurriedly convened a court meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Han army has come to Shouchun, how should I deal with it?"

Yuan Shu asked with an unhappy expression.

Yuan Shu has very few talents, and most of his court are children of some families, and there are very few who are really capable.

So when Yuan Shu asked, his ministers all looked at each other one by one, unable to come up with an idea.

Yuan Shu couldn't help but say angrily: "I gave you high-ranking officials, but did you repay it like this? If the Great Chen Kingdom is destroyed, you will also be unable to escape a dead end! ”

Seeing that Yuan Shu was angry, Prime Minister General Yang said: "Your Majesty is angry, now that the prince is leading the army to block Cao Cao, Shouchun really has no good general who can resist Liu Xie's child." Now the only way to make peace with Liu Biao of Jingzhou is to persuade Jingzhou to send troops to Huainan to fight against Liu Xie. In order to convince Liu Biao, the big thing may be successful! ”

General Yang is a rare talent, but unfortunately he followed the wrong person.

When Yuan Shu heard this, he turned his anger into joy and said: "At a critical time, it is still effective for the prime minister, so who is willing to send Jingzhou to Jingzhou?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister's wish!"

A minister came out to speak, Yuan Shu looked at it, it turned out to be Le, this guy was quite loyal, he protected Liu Bei at the beginning, and then Liu Bei ran away, Le didn't run away, and returned to Shouchun.
