At this time, Yuan Shao's heart was also cold, he got Li Yi's support, but he lost the support of Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. The envoy sent to Youzhou returned www.biquge.info brought the depressing news that Liu Yu said that he was finally in the Han family, and that he would rather die than this spurned puppet.

Yuan Shaokong held the place of death for nearly a year, and finally failed, so he could only withdraw from Luoyang in disgrace. The departure of the leader of the alliance announced the complete miscarriage of the Dong Alliance, and Tao Qian, Kong Rong, Yuan Yi and other princes returned to their respective homes. However, there were also those who died in other places, and Kong Ling died of illness on the way back to the army. Liu Dai and Qiao Mao have always been at odds, so he took advantage of his unpreparedness and killed Qiao Mao. Wang Kuang could not bear the weight of open and secret fighting, and died with hatred in the midst of internal and external difficulties.

Ma Chao has been wandering outside for nearly a year, and he has become homesick, but he has a bad relationship with Dong Zhuo, and the way home is cut off, so he can only wander outside. Now that the alliance has been completely dissolved, the people of Luoyang have gone to the empty building, and Ma Chao has no choice but to live in Xin'an temporarily.

Li Yijun ran out of supplies in the rear, but he took precautions and built a military camp in Gyeonggi. Except for Zhao Yun stationed in Xin'an, the rest of the soldiers were half-trained and half-produced. Because the surrounding areas of Luoyang are all ownerless land, the area of Li Yijuntun has reached more than one million acres.

In the golden autumn of October, although Li Yi's area was subject to different droughts and floods, due to the huge number of fields, he still obtained a bumper harvest. Harvesting more than 2 million grains and rice, today's Li Yijun can be described as rich in money and grain, if he does not hesitate to kill his soldiers and recruit some new soldiers, he will advance all the way, and he can also annihilate Dong Zhuojun in one fell swoop.

During the year, the wind and rain were smooth, the civil and military officials were sincerely united, and all industries of agriculture and industry were thriving and prosperous. Due to the contradictions between Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu, and Han Fu, the land of Ji was cloudy, and the war was about to break out.

With the popularization of health knowledge and the gradual improvement of medical standards, the natural growth rate of the population has continued to rise, and the population of Jianzhou has exceeded the 5 million mark...... These happy events are taken for granted, and there are three major events that must be mentioned.

The first was a Jianzhou cargo ship that crossed the ocean and arrived in the Indian Peninsula to bring cotton back to Jianzhou. Moreover, the trial planting was successful, and the cotton settled in the Songnen Plain, and Li Yi's long-awaited event finally achieved his wish. While delivering the good news, he also brought several pieces of cotton underwear. Although cotton underwear looks very inconspicuous, especially compared with silk fabrics, it is not worth mentioning at all, but cotton fabrics are sweat-absorbent, soft and comfortable to wear, which is incomparable to silk and linen products.

Li Yi, Zhang Ying and Yu Bing's cotton underwear has long been dilapidated, but they are reluctant to throw it away, and they are still using sewing and mending. The three of them left a message before the expedition, if the cotton introduction is successful, they must make a few cotton underwear and send them to the front line of Sili. Unexpectedly, their dreams came true, Zhen Yu and Liu Ping really sent the clothes as agreed. The three of them could finally throw away the patched old underwear. Since there are still a few more pieces, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Li Meng and others, as well as Ma Chao, who is a guest, can also wear them first. Zhao Yun and others wore comfortable underwear for the first time in their lives, and they were full of praise.

The continuous accumulation of seafaring experience laid the foundation for large-scale maritime trade in the future. In the early days, due to the lack of shipbuilding technology and navigation experience, although there were maps drawn by Zhang Ying from memory, there were inevitably deviations, so that the soldiers could brave the sea of Hanhai with only one sea chart, which was really difficult. Even though every time I go to sea and return home, I deliberately avoid the summer when typhoons are frequent, but shipwrecks still occur from time to time. Each shipwreck required a large amount of compensation for the victims, and the loss of cargo, made the initial maritime industry not only not profitable, but also a burden on the state's finances.

But without the initial exploration, there would be no joy of success, and Li Yi's fleet would never leave home. Although many precious lives have been paid, for the benefit of more people, the sacrifices of these people are still well deserved. One day, Li Yi's fleet will survive a period of small-scale exploration and gradually develop into a large fleet, so that in the future, it will be able to swim freely in the Pacific and Indian oceans.

As the navigation line gradually extended to the Indian Ocean, he wanted to build a seaport along the way instead of going to sea in the summer, so Tai Shici was ordered to build the first port in Jinshui Bay on the shore of the South China Sea. This ensured that the fleet did not suffer a major ordeal, and they reached the Indian peninsula, where they stayed in search of it, and brought the cotton back to Jianzhou.

If cotton can be planted on a large scale, cotton clothes, cotton pants, quilts and mattresses can be produced in batches, and the people will no longer have to cat's winter. The long winter in the north, with nearly 100 days of cold weather, if these times are used, or engaged in business or handicrafts, the value created in a winter will be considerable.

The second piece of good news is that the Songliao Canal has finally been completed in its entirety. Because Li Yi sent back the news that Dong Zhuo had intercepted a large number of treasures, the enthusiasm of the people to build the Songliao Canal was unprecedentedly high, and they learned that the white strip would soon be cashed. However, when the canal was first built, it was inevitable that there would be detours, resulting in a large amount of man-hours, but it was not effective. With the accumulation of experience, the later it will be more labor-saving, and the labor efficiency will gradually approach the best.

Now the opening of the Songliao Canal, the increasingly acute problem of grain has finally been solved, so that the grain of the Songliao Plain has been continuously transported outward, Jianping grain has been oversupplied, the granary has been full, and then it can be transported to Youyou and Hebei.

If the grain that has been hoarded over the years can be transported out, it can give the people of the Central Plains a way to live, and at the same time increase the income of the officials and the people in the construction of the state, especially the dilemma of the government not being able to make ends meet, can be alleviated or even reversed.

The Songliao Canal was opened, and the people who participated in the construction were extremely happy, and the people shed tears of joy, and the fruits of their labor could finally be realized. The meat and dairy products of Xianbei and Wuhuan can also be transported into the Great Plains in reverse. There are also vegetables and fruits from all over the world, which can be exchanged for more extensive trade. Even if people travel, taking a passenger boat is many times faster than the original walking. This has been the expectation of millions of workers in the Songnen Plain for many years, and their wish has finally come true.

The third piece of good news is the annexation of the Celestials. The Huairou strategy was formulated for Rulou, but I didn't expect that it was Wo Fu who was the first to defect, followed by the Eile people. This is really what the people want, and everyone wants. Li Yiren Debu is in the four seas. With little control over the North Sea region, they had no choice but to adopt a policy of going with the flow and letting the people of the Gul choose freely.
