After the defeat of Lanling, Cao Chun garrisoned his troops and horses in Shiting Town. The weather was extremely hot and dry, and because the Guangqi generation cultivated more fertile land, many forests were cut down, so they were exposed to the unobstructed sun, coupled with such heavy armor, and there were no measures to reduce heat, many soldiers lost their combat effectiveness due to heat stroke.

Tao Ying adopted Zhang Zhao's strategy and couldn't stick to it. After two months of tug-of-war, Lü Bu was overwhelmed, and under the mediation of the Han Emperor's envoys, the embattled Lü Bu had to agree to the armistice agreement.

After the armistice, Lü Bu led his troops to retreat to Lu and Langya, and Donghai County was re-owned by Tao Ying. Won Donghai County, this battle, Tao Ying lost nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers who died in the war were to pay their families for the death of their families according to the law, and the death expenses of more than 10,000 people had to spend all the taxes of Pengcheng for a year.

After Lu Bu withdrew from the army, Peng Chengguo was in ruins. Tao Ying led his troops back to the Pengcheng Mansion, and then gathered his staff to discuss new appointments and development plans.

In mid-September, in order to thank the Han Emperor for his mediation, Tao Ying sent an envoy to the Han Emperor and asked the Han Emperor to grant him the position of Xuzhou Mu.

After the envoy set off with the gifts, Tao Ying began to reappoint the officials. The first is to send the general Yu Ban to lead 10,000 troops to be stationed in Guangqi City to defend Lü Bu and Liu Bei. The general Cao Chun led 10,000 troops and stationed them in Ningqiu to guard against Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses. Recently, I got Tokai-gun, which is a good place because it is a great plain, an endless wilderness, and it is a good place to grow wheat.

Therefore, Tao Ying attaches great importance to this place, and after thinking about it, there are really not many people who can hold the position of Taishou. The things that can be sealed out around him have been sealed, and those students who have just graduated from the official academy every year, they can't come up to serve as the Taishou, thinking about it, Tao Ying decided to send Yan Yan to Donghai County to serve as the Taishou of the East China Sea.

Taishou was in charge of administration, and the military sent Yin Li and Li Dian to be stationed in Donghae County. After being sent to the chief officer, Tao Ying sent nearly 400 students from the official academy who had just graduated to Donghai County to serve. He got excellent grades, passed the exam, and served as a prefectural magistrate. According to the grades, and so on, the worst can still hold the position of mayor of the town.

The newly graduated students are all learning Tao Ying's new management system, so they will make a drastic change in Donghai County. After the appointment of officials, the time has reached the end of September, and the new officials rushed to the East China Sea to take office, Tao Ying found that there is really a shortage of talents now.

The rule of the county is the peace of the world, and a good county order can indeed make the land under its rule more prosperous. Therefore, at the end of September, Tao Ying signed a covenant with the surrounding princes, and told everyone that he would never expand everywhere and was willing to live in peace with everyone.

But if someone dares to infringe on their own Xuzhou half a step, they will use the power of Xuzhou to break the net!

After the issuance of the Peace Treaty, Tao Ying decided to enter a period of truce development at the same time for the four northern counties under his rule. The term is three years, and the policy is the same as that of Suzhou and Guangling counties.

After receiving the Xiaqiu Kingdom, Tao Ying abolished the Xiaqiu Kingdom after the advice of Zhang Zhao and other strategists, and re-established the Xiapi Kingdom, the capital of the Xiapi Kingdom. However, the new Xiapi State and the original Xiapi State have changed greatly after the territory. First of all, in terms of geographical division, the incompatibility of the original two counties was not conducive to planning and development, so Tao Ying redefined their boundaries.

The new Xiapi Kingdom and Guangling County are bounded by Huaishui. The north of the Huai River is owned by the Xia Pi State, and the south of the Huai River is owned by Guangling County.

After the adjustment of the administrative region, Tao Ying decided to reform the rule of officials. The first was the separation of military and political affairs, and the taishou of each county were only responsible for governing the localities, and these official positions were gradually selected from among the better village officials. For example, after the village chief who is better at governing the place has passed the assessment, he can be promoted to the township head, and then the town mayor will be the county order, and then the Taishou.

The military is separated, and the military governor of each county is held by a military general, and the military governor is of the same rank as the taishou, and one civil and one military jointly governs the locality.

After this set of policies came out, those who read will have a place to use, and those who practice martial arts will also have a place to use. And in order to be able to win real talents into his own team, Tao Ying imitated the examination system of later generations, and there was a literary examination and a martial arts examination every year.

The literary examination is divided into champions, lists, and flowers, and the martial arts examination is also divided into champions, lists, and flowers. Such a fair selection of talents allows scholars and martial arts practitioners to better serve Xuzhou.

As soon as the policy came out, all the subordinate cities of Xuzhou read loudly for a while, and there were more and more people practicing martial arts.

During the month of September, Tao Ying was in Pengcheng almost every day, gathering a group of literati to discuss national policies. Now that there is more land, it is the last word to make them rich. However, before becoming rich, some can only eat. After this war, the fertile fields in the north of Peiguo, Guangqi, and Donghai County were destroyed, and Tao Ying had to tighten his belt and take out the grain from the treasury for disaster relief.

After the fleeing people moved back, Tao Ying encouraged childbearing, and the population of this era was too small, and so much arable land was idle. And there is no mechanization at all, it all depends on people, the dealer has no fertilizer, and the harvest depends on the sky. That's why everything seems so backward.

And Tao Ying has been solving this problem in the past three years!

Before the arrival of winter, Tao Ying ordered the whole people to mobilize to build water conservancy. Then the forests were cut down to build houses, and the felled forests were reclaimed for the city's fertile land.

The compensation for those who died in battle could not be compensated due to the emptiness of the Pengcheng State treasury, and Zhang Zhao came up with a new idea, that is, to convert the compensation into good land and use the land to compensate them. With the land, the people are naturally willing, after all, this is an agrarian society, and with the land, they can live.

In order to solve this problem, Tao Ying ordered the farmers of Guangling County and Xiapi Kingdom to dig new canals. The cost of land transportation is particularly much, and this era is a rainy era, so dig through the canal and vigorously develop water transportation, and then it will take less than half a month to arrive from Pengcheng to Guangling City, the capital of Guangling.

After the order was issued, Tao Ying appointed a special overseer to be responsible for the construction of the canal from Suiling to Guangling. The canal will be completed within two years, mobilizing more than 50,000 people, and it will be the first major project in the south.

As long as the canal leading from Suiling to Guangling is completed, then you can take a boat from Changyi City, the capital of Shanyang County, the northwestern part of Xuzhou, along Surabaya to Xiaopeicheng, the capital of Peiguo, and then enter the territory of Pengcheng through Guangqi, and follow several cities of Pengcheng to Pengcheng, the capital of Xuzhou. Further south is the city of Xiapi, the capital of the state of Xiapi. Then until the Suiling and the Huai River are connected, and the Huai River can be crossed all the way to Guangling City, the capital of Guangling.

From Guangling, you can take a boat to the southernmost county, Suzhou City, Suzhou County. In this way, a Grand Canal can connect all its own territories together, and then open a special line for passenger boats, and the people can take a boat to visit the beautiful scenery of Xuzhou!

The excavation of this canal began in October, and Tao Ying ordered Zang Ba of Shanyang County to dig a canal in Shanyang County. The canal runs from Changyi Castle, the capital of Shanyang County, to Juye Castle, an important town in Xuzhou in the far north. At that time, the Juye Lake Sailor will be able to protect the safety of the entire Xuzhou along the river.
