Yecheng was immediately down, and the commanders and chiefs of various counties in Wei County, where they were located, and the local clans sent people into Yecheng to ask Cao Pi to surrender, first handing over all the household registration forms of their county and the tax records of the past years, and also bringing various gifts.

Cao Pi was not surprised by this phenomenon, because Yecheng has become the first fortified city in the north under Yuan Shao's deliberate management, if even Yecheng can't stop Cao's troops, then other places naturally can't stop it, not to mention that Yuan Shang, who is stationed in Yecheng, has been beaten by Cao Pi to the north, if he doesn't surrender at this time, it is definitely the result of the destruction of the family, for the rebels, Cao Jun doesn't mind the way of robbing the family and robbing the female dependents to seek some benefits for his soldiers.

The counties of Wei County are busy with Chen Qun, Wang Cang and a group of scribes, because in addition to Yecheng, Wei County still has Neihuang, Liyang, Fanyang, Yin'an, Wei ~ County, Yuancheng, Guantao, Qingyuan, Pingsi, Quqiu, Quliang, Liang Period, Wu'an, Sheguo 14 counties, each county sent a person to hand in various documents, and also brought more than ten entourages to drive thirteen or fourteen carriages loaded with gifts into Yecheng, Yecheng suddenly had more than 100 people, this is still a small problem, that is, they brought a lot of documents from various counties, Just recounting the household registration of Wei County made the originally small number of scribes anxious.

As for most of the gifts sent to them, most of them were silk, wine, lard, gold and other precious things, Cao Pi sealed all these things in the General's Mansion, waited for Cao Cao to come to receive them, and then asked the envoys from the counties to go back with a letter written by Chen Qun, so that the counties could produce with peace of mind and no need to worry.

There is not much grain in Yecheng, Cao Pi did not plan to ask the big clan for food, but just sent a letter to Cao Cao, asking him to bring grain and grass to Yecheng quickly, and described the beauty of Yecheng to Cao Cao, implying that it can be used as a foundation place.

After doing these things, Cao Pi immediately walked around Yecheng, looking for a place to plant rice, now it is just the early spring, as long as the manpower is increased, there is still time to cultivate a batch of hybrid rice seeds to take back to the Central Plains for planting, even if only a few acres of land is suitable for planting rice, Cao Pi can also cope with the demand for seeds next year, if the Central Plains has been multiplied for several generations of seed planting, the yield will be very sluggish after the decline in stress resistance, in fact, even if the current rice yield is not as good as the first two years of hybrid rice production, It's just that it's much stronger than before, so everyone hasn't paid attention to it, if it is another year, the decline in output will be even more obvious, if so, those people in the court with ulterior motives will attack themselves again.

Cao Pi went to Yecheng to inspect and found that there are two rivers flowing through this place, namely the Zhanghe River and the Huanhe River, the width of the riverbed of the Zhanghe River is close to a kilometer, it is a very wide river, the water of the Yecheng moat is from the Zhanghe River, Yuan Shao led the water of the Zhanghe River to the moat of Yecheng and then built a few canals to the other side of the riverbed only a hundred meters of the Huanhe River, after the two rivers are connected, the land within a radius of 100 miles of Yecheng has water irrigation, as long as there is no bad luck to encounter a major drought, There is a lot of land planted in Yecheng.

In addition, Cao Pi took the guards to explore the land and found that the groundwater near Yecheng is stored in the Quaternary loose rock formations, as long as you go down to ten meters to get water, this discovery made Cao Pi overjoyed, as long as all the wells near Yecheng are developed, there are many places suitable for human habitation near Yecheng, and the water in Zhangshui is abundant, build more canals to drain the Huan River, at least 80% of the land within a radius of 100 miles can be planted with rice, plus the surrounding wells can provide water sources, The population ceiling is also considerable, so it can be used as a base for the supply of hybrid rice seeds from the Central Plains.

On the other hand, from Yecheng Baili away from the White Horse Port by boat, it only takes two days to reach the Guandu Port on the other side, the Guandu Port to Chen Liu is only a five-day march, if the fast horse is a journey, it can be reached in one day, and Chen Liu's journey to Xudu only takes twenty days, and the fast horse is less than ten days. And from the White Horse Port to the west, you can reach Mengjin Port on the 15th, this Mengjin Port is only three days away from Luoyang, and the fast horse journey is less than a day away, for the south, Yecheng is definitely a real place of beauty.

Not to mention that Yecheng has the danger of Montenegro and Huguan to Bingzhou, and there is Zhangshui barrier to Youzhou, as long as the Huanhe River in the direction of Liyang is choked, Yecheng will be as stable as Mount Tai, and it is suitable for a large number of people to live, it is not difficult to prosper.

After taking a turn around Yecheng, Cao Pi determined that as long as Cao Cao entered Yecheng and saw the situation here, he would regard this place as the foundation of his own development, and as for Xudu, it would become an imperial capital with no name, and Yecheng would become the center of the world.

Since this is the case, he has to manage it carefully, after all, if this is Cao Cao's foundation, it is naturally his Cao Pi's foundation.

After having an idea, Cao Pi immediately returned to Yecheng, requisitioned 5,000 soldiers and all the people in his army and Lejun, and began to build canals, dig wells, and plough the land. He also sent a fast horse to the south to buy rice seeds, and Cao Pi gave a death order, telling him to return to Yecheng within fifteen days.

Although the ploughing time is a bit late, but Cao Pi, who was born in agronomy, has a hundred ways to fertilize the field, he asked the people to burn the soldiers of the Yuan army who died in the war into ashes, buried in the land to be planted with rice, and then collect all kinds of manure and spread it on the land, and then divert water to moisten the land, Cao Pi now has 20,000 people under his hands, and the efficiency of opening up wasteland and repairing canals is naturally very high, coupled with the strong support of the squires from all over Yecheng, when he returned to Yecheng, nearly 3,000 acres of fertile land suitable for planting rice have been opened near Yecheng.

After returning to Yecheng on a horse with three large bags, Cao Pi immediately asked people to sow seeds outside the city, because it was related to the seed harvest of the entire Central Plains in the coming year, so Cao Pi personally supervised the sowing of the people, and now Cao Pi has only one reader around him to assist, or a scholar who surrendered from Yuan Shang's command, this person is named Chen Lin, it is the Chen Lin who wrote "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao" in the early days of the war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and scolded the three generations of the Cao family. No one was killed, and later Chen Qun assigned him to Cao Pi's side, so Chen Lin worked harder, and at this time he was standing in the shade of a tree with Cao Pi watching the people plant seeds.

"I received my father's documents a few days ago, and within two days, my father will be in Yecheng...."Cao Pi said suddenly. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
