There are a few more strongholds under his rule, but Chen Tao doesn't think it's worth being happy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There is a distance of 250 miles between several strongholds, especially between Shiguo and Wei County, and when encountering problems, from getting information to departure, there is no way to rush to the scene without three or four days, and it is difficult to ensure the safety of one side when encountering a large-scale attack by the demon army.

The walls and urban area of Yecheng are much wider than those of Shiguo, and they are more suitable as a place of governance. In addition, the country itself is surrounded by mountains, and it is the main road to the state, and its own development is restricted, and now it has become the front line of the demon army's attack, which is indeed not suitable as a place of governance.

Finally, there is Wei County, which hangs alone, and the city wall has also been broken in the previous defensive battle. In addition, the population of the stronghold is more than 30,000, and it is more cost-effective to move the people inside than to rest the stronghold.

After Chen Tao returned to the state-related stronghold, he inspected the situation of the state-related stronghold on the spot, and came forward to admonish: "The cement and steel structure city wall provided by the lord is indeed stronger, and the design of the fortress is also very reasonable. However, the stronghold of the country is not a suitable place to govern, since the lord has already obtained Yecheng, why not move the place of governance there?

In this way, it not only strengthened the control of the Liang period and the Wu'an stronghold, but also had more room for development. As for the state-related stronghold, leaving 10,000 soldiers and civilians stationed here, it can be built into a military stronghold. ”

According to the development idea of frustration, there are two types of strongholds: civil strongholds and military strongholds. The latter are mainly located in the outer areas of the sphere of influence, as well as in the presence of important transport hubs. In this way, when encountering problems, troops can be quickly dispatched to support the locality; The former is within the protection of military strongholds, and the main feature is that the defenders are relatively reduced and the number of civilians is relatively increased, and it is used as a large rear to feed the forces.

As for the small strongholds, they should all be subdued and relocated to the four existing strongholds. Wei County, which is lonely, is best to migrate the population to Yecheng at this stage, after all, the population there is less than 30% now, and there is still a lot of spare space.

Chen Tao also took the opportunity to ask the Xin brothers what they meant, and the conclusion was the same as that of Fu Zhu. Population has now become an important factor limiting future development, and if this problem is not addressed, future development will enter a bottleneck. Moreover, those small forces will not be able to protect the people well, and if they are left alone, the population will become smaller in the future.

In extraordinary times, he should act in extraordinary strategies, and with Chen Tao's current prestige and strength, there is no need to negotiate conditions with them at all.

Wei County is the territory of the Zhen family, since the people who want to move there, it is naturally best to get help from the Zhen family, and it will also be beneficial to build a good relationship in the future. Therefore, after arranging the overall relocation of Sheguo County, Chen Tao came to Wei County in person.

The city wall of Wei County is indeed dilapidated, and at this moment he even saw that there were people repairing it, if it encountered the situation of the previous demon army attacking the city, the more than 30,000 survivors in this stronghold, I am afraid that it is really difficult to survive. Moreover, it is hundreds of miles away from Yecheng, and it is not easy to rescue, so it is only right to move the survivors away at this stage.

Knowing that Chen Tao was coming, Yin Ping naturally went out of the city to greet him, followed by Zheng Yan.

Chen Tao swept his eyes and asked why Gao Ran was not there, only to know that it was Gao Ran's turn to go out today to clear the demon army in the wild. Many remnants of these demon armies are wandering in the suburbs, ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands, and if they are not cleared regularly, they will inevitably pose a threat.

Since Gao Ran was out on business, Chen Tao naturally didn't want to force anything, and went directly to Wei County.

Bringing up the matter of migration, Yin Ping naturally thought it was a great good. He was not depressed by the deprivation of his position as a steward, and knew very well that his life could not be saved, and it was useless to have power.

Zheng Yan also took refuge later, so naturally he would not disobey Chen Tao, so the matter of such a relocation was almost decided. Chen Tao handed over this matter to the two of them, and then directly handed over the name thorn to the Zhen family and visited the door.

Knowing that it was Chen Tao who was there in person, how dare the concierge stop him, and immediately entered the room to report. Today was Zhen Yao's turn to rest, and he happened to be at home at the moment, and he quickly dressed up to greet him after being informed.

Chen Tao, who was already in the foundation building period, could naturally feel that there was another person behind the screen in the hall, and it was his mother Zhang. After all, women's families, even widows, are not easy to come forward to greet guests, so they help behind the screen.

"I didn't prepare any gifts this time, please accept a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill." Chen Tao took out the pill and handed it over.

The Qi Condensing Pill is a very valuable thing, how dare Zhen Yao accept it. I was about to excuse myself, but I didn't want to say goodbye behind the screen, but Zhang's voice came: "The elder can't give up, and accept it." ”

The thin layer of screens can't hide people at all, and the Zhang family naturally has nothing to hide their ears and steal the bell. Etiquette must be asked for by others, Chen Tao is already the head of the stronghold, the Zhen family has to rely on others to live, and it is only afraid that it is not small to be able to give such a generous gift.

This is no longer something that Zhen Yao can decide, so Zhang simply came forward to talk to Chen Tao directly.

A shadow came out from behind the screen, and the twenty-seven-year-old Zhang was still very well maintained, like a teenage girl. She is Zhen Yi's wife, and she is the mother of Zhen Yu, Zhen Jiang and Zhen Mi. As for Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, there are even three other daughters, who are the children of Zhen Yi and the concubine.

Otherwise, Zhen Yi had eight children with the Zhang family in more than ten years, which is terrible to think about.

Although Zhen Yao is not a descendant of the Zhang family, he also has to call him 'eldest mother', and seeing that the Zhang family has come forward, he naturally obediently gives up the main position.

"The chief has come from afar, and the old man has lost his welcome, so please forgive the chief." Zhang slowly saluted Chen Tao, his eyes and smile were ripe. The woman's charm, coupled with the fact that the Zhang family was originally from a large family, made it even more dignified and noble.

I have to say that the guy in Xinbi is indeed not wrong, the Zhang family is indeed a rare stunner in the world, and the genes of his parents are good, so it is no wonder that he can give birth to a Luo Shen like Zhen Mi.

"Chen's sudden visit was also abrupt." Chen Tao returned the salute and replied humbly.

"The master came here this time, but I don't know what I need from Zhen's service?" Zhang doesn't talk nonsense and gets straight to the point.

Chen felt that Wei County was lonely and inconvenient to rescue, and the city wall was relatively old and not suitable for defense. Therefore, he plans to move the people of Wei County to settle in Yecheng, but he still needs Zhen's help to deal with it. Chen Tao also directly stated the purpose.

"This is a trivial matter, since Yao'er has already become a leader, she should serve the main thing." When Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Wei County is indeed not suitable for long-term residence, and she also has the idea of relocation, but she didn't expect Chen Tao to put it forward first.

"After the relocation, Zhen has the right to choose one of several prosperous areas in Yecheng as a mansion to sit in. If you want to trade, you can enjoy a 20% discount for half a year. Chen Tao also took advantage of the situation to give preferential conditions.

It is a very lucrative condition for the Zhen family, who doesn't know that Chen Tao has a lot of goods here? You can earn 20% of the profit as soon as you buy it at a 20% discount, and the Zhen family will inevitably be able to stabilize in Yecheng in half a year.

It's just that this is not yet a guarantee for the future, Zhang's eyes rolled for a while, and he said with a smile: "The old man is here, but he has thanked the master, and the Zhen family has made every effort to relocate!" If it's late today, if the principal doesn't dislike it, the house will prepare a little water and wine, and hope that the principal will stay in the house for one night? ”

"So Chen will be bothered." Chen Tao didn't know her thoughts, but he didn't mean to refuse.
