When Dong Maru brought the news of Cao Cao's order for Xu Yi to exchange and reserve silver dollars into Yang Xi's hands, Yang Xi was excited, which made Yang Xi even more excited than Jian Xian's expansion of the cavalry of the assault battalion to 15,000 people.

However, it was said that Sun Quan received Yang Xi's letterhead, and Thunder was furious, and hurriedly summoned the civil and military forces to discuss the matter.

Zhu Zhi, Han Dang, and Huang Gai thought that the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth, and they would never be able to give a huge island in Zhuyazhou to the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce with a letter.

Zhou Yu also thought that at this time, the troops had already raised forty or fifty thousand, and if he defended with all his might, he might not be able to block Yang Xi's offensive, so he was also considering resisting.

At this time, Lu Su stood up and said: "I have heard that Jiangxia Yang Xi is not a barbarous person, he wants Zhu Yazhou, he must have his intentions." With its strength, to take the entire Jiaozhou, go all out, but it is a matter of a year or two, why not take Jiaozhou, but as long as the island, which may be mediated, if Su on behalf of the lord to go this way, officially establish communication with the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce. ”

Zhou Yu said: "Zijing can go this way, but if you want to take Zhu Yazhou for no reason, it is impossible." ”

In the end, Sun Quan made a decision and ordered Lu Su to send an envoy to Jiangxia to find out Yang Xi's intentions and see if there was anything to talk about.

Lu Su has not yet arrived in Jiangxia, and Yang Xi is already in full swing preparing for the South China Sea Island.

"Qin Fang, Jian Yan came later than you, his current assault regiment has grown from 3,000 people to 15,000 cavalry regiments. When you go to the South China Sea Island, you have to preside over a very important thing. I have learned that there are more than 200,000 people on Nanhai Island, which is obviously not enough, and after you stabilize on Nanhai Island, there will definitely be many people in Jiaozhou who will immigrate to the past, and you will use this as a basis to cooperate with Yu Fu to recruit the Tuntian population, and within three years, you will recruit 30,000 Tuntian soldiers. ”

"Tuntian soldiers?"

"Yes, I now divide the soldiers and horses into three types, the first is the security forces, that is, the ship guards, the local security bureaus, this part is the security force, not used for war, only for maintaining order. The second is the standing army, which we now have about 200,000 horses, which are responsible for the defense of the entire territory and foreign wars. The third type is the Tuntian army, which has to feed itself for this part of the military horses. In addition to training in peacetime, the Tuntian Army is also responsible for land reclamation, mining development, and disaster relief in various localities. The land that has been cleared can be rented or sold, and at the same time, the Tuntian army must cultivate it by itself. You Nanhai Island, responsible for the development of 30,000 Tuntian Army, other counties, all have indicators, I expect that within three years, the Tuntian Army will grow to 500,000. ”

Yang Xi said it easily, and directly put Qin Fang to stand up in fright: "What? Half a million? ”

"Yes, you heard it right, it's half a million. Do you think 500,000 is a lot, just the day before yesterday, Dong Cai sent back the news, the latest battle report, the Amir Empire has defeated the Kushan Empire, and the population of its territory has reached 8 million, and the standing army is 500,000. ”

Qin Fang was stunned, he hadn't heard of the Amir Empire, he heard last year that it was fighting Guishan, and the Guishan Empire also had more than 100,000 standing troops, and it was only a year, and it completely collapsed.

Yang Xi continued: "The Tuntian army does not affect production, can be self-sufficient, as for the military salary, the value they create, can basically be offset, we must have at least more than one million troops, in order to protect ourselves, it is imperative to do this, your burden is very heavy, Nanhai Island must give me stability, so that Yu Fu can better develop its economy, accumulate strength, I want to vigorously develop Wuchang Island, many immigrants, but can only be sent there, can not give you support, this depends on you and Yu Fu to cooperate well." ”

An army of millions, Cao Cao may sound frightened, but Yang Xi doesn't think it's much.

According to Yang Xi's plan, the Wuchang Strait must have at least 300,000 to deter Amir so that he does not dare to cross the strait and threaten Southeast Asia.

Handed over the task of Qin Fangjuntun, Yu turned over and came, and Yang Xi conveyed the plan for the development of the coconut industry to Yu Fang. The coconut produced on the South China Sea Island, this coconut was originally a special product of Southeast Asia, since it is necessary to develop industry, industrialization is one of the links that must be taken.

Yang Xi asked Yu to turn over and industrialize coconut on the South China Sea Island. Coconut meat can be used for oil, raw food, vegetables, tree trunks can be used as building materials, leaves can be used to cover the roof or weave, and coconut roots can also be used as medicine. If it is industrialized, with the current speed of maritime development of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, it can attract a large number of mainland merchants to enter the island to purchase goods, attract popularity, and promote all kinds of promotions.

The production efficiency produced by industrial industrialization is many times stronger than that of a family's single-handedness.

Chenhe Port, today came a special guest, this person is the Jiaozhou envoy Lu Su.

Lu Su and his entourage only had one boat, more than 300 people, basically all of them were ship strength and guards, and Lu Su himself brought only a dozen guards.

Lu Su landed in the port, was introduced to the Chenhe City Hotel to live, all the way, admired.

The first time he entered the legendary city with a population of almost one million, Lu Su was like a rural child entering the city, not to mention those boat forces.

Along the way, there were endless exclamations, and the tour guide had long been accustomed to this demeanor.

handed over the post, waiting for Yang Xi to see him, there was nothing to do, Lu Su walked around the city, secretly planning in his heart.

"It would be nice if the lord and Gongjin and others could come and take a look, just one Exian county has a population that exceeds the entire Jiaozhou, and the gap is more than thousands of miles."

"It is said that the entire Exian County plus the population of Chenhe City of more than 1 million people developed from a small county with a population of less than 30,000 more than 20 years ago, which is really fascinating."

Lu Su was shopping, but Yang Xi had already received a post.

"Childe, this is handed over to the state, how do you arrange it?" Tian Han asked.

"Lu Su, Lu Zijing, I really want to see you, but I can't be in a hurry about this matter, let you stay here for a few days first, let you go around, understand the situation, and then sit down and talk. Tian Han, you inform him that his time is scheduled in seven days. ”

"Okay!"

Lu Su knew that Yang Xi was busy, but he didn't expect to be so busy, so he was also a messenger, and he was even ranked seven days later. But it's good to take the opportunity to go shopping and study.

Just when Lu Su was traveling around Chenhe County with a learning mentality, our great poisoner Jia Xu returned to Xudu.

When Cao Cao heard that Jia Xu had returned, he was in a good mood and specially set up a banquet.

Guo Jia, Xun Yu and other civil and military officers arrived, except for Yu Ban, who guarded Qingzhou, Zang Ba in Xuzhou, and Zhang He in Runan, everyone else was basically present.

During the banquet, Cao Cao asked Jia Xu about his experience of walking thousands of miles from south to north along the way, and Jia Xu began to talk about what he had seen and heard along the way.

Jia Xu talked about the establishment of schools, the encouragement of science and education to rejuvenate agriculture, the construction of water conservancy, the reward of the population, the development of commerce, and other southern strategies, and they were extremely meticulous.

In the end, all the civil and military forces were silent, and the scene was extremely dull.

In the end, Jia Xu said: "In the long run, I dare to guarantee that within 20 years, the population south of the Huai River will reach 30 or 40 million, and the army will exceed 12 million, and at that time, it will sweep the world irreversibly!" ”

Jia Xu's words were like a bomb that exploded into the hearts of everyone at the scene, but few people recognized it. Someone stood up and said: "After Mo Feiwenhe traveled to the south, his heart is no longer in Dahanye?" ”

Jia Xu was not afraid at all, and stood up with a righteous and awe-inspiring voice: "The words of Xu are true, and there is no fiction, that Yang Xi as a farmer from the cold door, single-handedly, with ten acres of fertile land, thirty acres of dry land, twenty years, to the present, monopolizing Huainan, sweeping away the Wa Kingdom, Weijia overseas, defeating the coalition army, with a population of more than 10,000, with hundreds of thousands, who dare to face it, if the prime minister does not change, rest on his laurels, within ten years, the head of the person guarantee, the Han will not exist in the world!" ”

Jia Xu's words were deafening and deafening, and they hit the reality directly, and everyone was shocked, especially Cao Cao, who sat on the top, motionless, with sharp eyes, looking at Jia Xu.

Xu Chu pulled out his saber, and just waited for Cao Cao to speak, and he wanted to kill Jia Xu on the spot.

Cao Cao was angry, but Cao Cao was the real hero, Jia Xu's words, although they were not good, but as the real hero, he could listen to them. At this time, Cao Cao reprimanded Xu Chu and said word by word in his mouth.

"What does Wen He think?"

Jia Xu arched his hand towards Cao Cao, stood up straight, looked at the south and said, "Master Yi's long skills to improve yourself!" ”
