After sending Zhang Dun away, Liu Cun immediately ordered to withdraw to the Tai Shi Ci Department stationed in Yanzhou, and the deputy general Zhang He led 8,000 cavalry to garrison Zhu'a, paying close attention to the battle situation in Yanzhou, and Tai Shi Ci led the rest of the soldiers back to Linzi.

In June, Qingzhou's food and various materials to Youzhou were transported by sea, and a large number of horses, cattle and sheep, pig iron, and furs from Youzhou and even the prairie were continuously transported back to Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

At the same time, located in the north bank of the Yellow River at the junction of Qinghai and Hebei two states of Leling New City was completed, built in the east gate outside the trading market grand opening, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Xuzhou and even the prairie Hu businessmen, have entered this large-scale and well-equipped commodity trading market, a large number of handicraft products and agricultural products of Qingxu and Xuzhou, from here sold to Youzhou, Hebei, and the states and the outside of the prairie, the northern cattle, sheep and horses and other materials are also transported to the south from here.

Qingzhou worked hard day and night to develop, and the power struggle in the imperial capital of Luoyang began to heat up.

Only 14 years old young emperor Liu Bian's biological mother Empress He was respected as the empress dowager, with the full support of the general He Jin began to listen to the government, by the general He Jin and the wind to rudder the Taifu Yuan Kui to participate in the Shangshu affairs, in charge of the government, the formation of a relative He dictatorship.

When Emperor Liu Hong was alive, he wanted to let the smarter and more lovely prince Liu Xie succeed to the throne, and before he died, he also entrusted Liu Xie to the eunuch Jian Shuo, who controlled the power of the royal guard.

He Jin, the general who is in charge of the army, is not so easy to deal with, and after learning of Jian Shuo's conspiracy, he immediately returned to color, so frightened that Jian Shuo no longer dared to walk out of the palace. All day long, he conspired with the eunuchs on how to kill He Jin as soon as possible.

Who knew that Zhao Sheng, one of the eunuchs, was He Jin's person, and soon told He Jin of Jian Shuo's plan of action. He Jin, who was furious, took the first step to slaughter Jian Shuo and took all the forbidden soldiers under his command under his command. As a result, he completely controlled the command of the West Park Army.

Emperor Liu Hong's mother, the Empress Dowager Dong, was not willing to be lonely, and with the instigation and support of a group of important ministers who had enmity with the general He Jin, she launched a power struggle with the mother of the young emperor, the Empress Dowager He.

Empress Dowager He quickly counterattacked, instructed He Jinzuo to ask the Empress Dowager Dong to move out of Beijing to live in the feudal country, and forced He Jin to arrest Dong Chong, the hussar general Dong Chong, the brother of the Empress Dowager Dong, and imprisoned him.

The eunuchs such as the Ten Standing Servants immediately realized the great threat of the great general He Jin, and once again united to plot to kill the great general He Jin, and the only way to kill the increasingly powerful He Jin was to kill the increasingly powerful He Jin. They can save their lives.

In the chaotic situation, the general He Jin walked out of the faint move, and urgently summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing to eradicate the eunuchs at the suggestion of Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, who had been waiting for this day, immediately went on the road when he heard the call, but when he was still on the road, He Jin's head had been cut off by the eunuchs, and He Jin's subordinates waved their troops to attack the palace in anger, and the eunuch Zhang Rang and others fled the young emperor.

Dong Zhuo saw that Luoyang was on fire, so he waved his army and rushed forward, and on the way learned that the young emperor had fled to Beimang (mountain name. Now Luoyangbei, Henan), immediately led troops to meet him, and became a martyr who protected the young emperor's return to the palace.

Dong Zhuo is indeed a hero who has not been born for a hundred years, and he has only been in Beijing for one month. took more than 50,000 people under the command of the He Jin brothers as his own, and induced the original department of Jin Wu Ding to attach Lu Bu's killing of Ding Yuan to himself, and at the same time became the chief secretary. What the great general He Jin did not do in ten years, Dong Zhuo did it in only one month.

After that, it lasted for half a year. Except for the appointment, dismissal, and adjustment of important ministers in the court, the imperial court did not issue a single edict to the states.

on this. Gongsun Pei in the yamen of Qingzhou Mansion couldn't understand it, according to his speculation, at this time, it should be quickly announced to the world to stabilize the people's hearts, why didn't he see the new emperor and Dong Zhuo move?

What are so many civil and military ministers in the DPRK and China doing?

The new Qingzhou Bei Guoyuan reacted even stronger, scolding those Chinese martial arts ministers for their corpses, and finally adding viciously whether they were all dead?

Zhao Rong and Han Yang, who are newly in the middle of governance, are now so busy that their faces are thin, their minds are full of statistical tables and groups of data, and they have no interest in things outside Qingzhou, and they have no time to be interested.

When Guo Yuan and Gongsun Pei were lamenting that the country would not be a country, Zhao Rong and Han Yang were still repeatedly estimating how much grain could be increased by the autumn harvest? Will the three major grain reserve warehouses under construction be fully filled by then? Should the main public make a decision as soon as possible and put the minting of five baht coins on the agenda to meet the needs of the rapidly developing agricultural and industrial industries?

After more than half a year of adjustment and running-in, the three-level administrative system in Qingzhou has gradually run smoothly.

Qingzhou's new deal unique and standardized administrative means began to show strong vitality, new norms and new concepts to make the work efficiency of officials at all levels multiplied, even the most conservative officials, now from time to time from the mouth of the "statistics", "assessment indicators", "budget report" and other fresh words, learned how to make a reasonable budget, by patting the chest, patting the brain of the officials to do things less and less, the officials' money bags are gradually enriched, the confidence to speak is a lot more, the official uniform and hat on the body are much more beautiful than the original, but, There are fewer days of wine and poetry!

During the entire six years of Zhongping, Liu Cun devoted almost all his energy to army building and did two major things that caused a sensation in Qingzhou.

The first major event is to mobilize 180,000 civilian men and military officers and men, spend four months and invest tens of millions of gold, and build a Qingzhou Army base camp and strategic reserve warehouse within a radius of 20 miles at the foot of Nanwuying Mountain in Zouping County, which can accommodate 80,000 officers and soldiers stationed all year round, and is divided into five areas, with independent grain depots and weapons and equipment storage groups, 56 buildings with more than two floors, five barracks areas with reasonable distribution, neat and solid, and four huge training bases that are fully equipped and connected to each other.

This huge military camp is called the "Shadowless Mountain Camp" by the people of Qingzhou, and the army is called the "base camp", the original Zhucheng Infantry Training Base, the Cavalry Training Base of Zongcheng, and the Chengyang Martial Arts Academy of Dongwu City have all moved into the base camp under the Shadowless Mountain in advance.

As of 1 September, 58,000 recruits scattered throughout Qingzhou had marched into the four bases in the "Shadowless Mountain Camp" for three months of study of military law and military regulations. Three months later, those who passed the training officially became Qingzhou sergeants, were incorporated into the corresponding infantry and cavalry sequences, and under the leadership of their respective officers and instructors, they began a five-month professional skills training and tactical coordination exercise.

The second major event also shook the whole Qingzhou, which was enough to affect the industrial development prospects and ideological changes of the entire Qingzhou.

On 10 April, a large-scale smelting workshop and ironsmith workshop located ten miles southeast of Linzi City, between Nanshan and Yueshan on the east bank of Zishui, was completed, and Liu Cun, in the name of the "Qingzhou Army," acquired 24 smelting workshops and blacksmith shops located on the ruins of the original Wangcheng in the south of Linzi City, and moved all their equipment and personnel to the newly built smelting workshop and ironwork workshop on the east bank of Zishui, and officially named the two newly built large-scale workshops "Qingzhou Iron Workshop."

On April 15, the "Qingzhou Iron Workshop", which has three master craftsmen, 335 craftsmen at all levels, 2,000 craftsmen and 3,000 apprentices, was officially ignited.

On the afternoon of the day when he attended the ignition ceremony of the iron workshop, Liu Cun led the chief officials at all levels of the Prefecture Pastoral Government and 5,000 soldiers of the Qingzhou Army to hold a grand groundbreaking ceremony for the renovation of the old city on the ruins of the original Nancheng three miles outside the south gate, and solemnly announced to the outside world: Within half a year, a new city with solid and beautiful facilities and complete facilities will be built on this ruin, which belongs to the workers and craftsmen of the Qingzhou Iron Workshop!

At the beginning, the people of Linzi, including craftsmen who had been hired by the "Qingzhou Iron Workshop" with high salaries, did not understand what Liu Cun meant, but with the construction of rows of beautiful and sturdy red brick and gray tile buildings in the newly renovated Sili City Wall, and the two horizontal and two vertical streets connecting the four city gates were paved with thick concrete, and the primary school hall, two markets, a medical hall and two Keju sites built in the center of the small city were completed one after another, people once again remembered the announcement at the groundbreaking ceremony of Liu Cun.

On the ninth day of October, it was only more than five months from Liu Cun's groundbreaking ceremony to the completion of the project, and a square new city stood in the south of Linzi City, and incredible news quickly spread all over the streets and alleys outside Linzi City:

More than 2,000 craftsmen and their families in the iron workshop have happily moved into the "Iron City" and live in small buildings of different sizes according to the level of skill.

——The directors of the "Qingzhou Iron Workshop" who presided over the celebration ceremony solemnly explained that the reason why this new city is called "Iron City" is that the state pastor and the Qingzhou Army pay tribute to the masters of the iron workshop and all the laborers, and the craftsmen only need to work in the "Qingzhou Iron Factory" for five years, and now the new buildings they live in belong to their own industries!

-- An official in charge of construction of the state pastoral government revealed that an iron workshop covering an area of several hundred acres is also being built in the south of the new city of Jinan Guoli City, which is under construction, and the scale of the workshop and the residential area of craftsmen are basically the same as those of the completed Qingzhou iron workshop.

With the rapid spread of various related news, the influence of Linzi "Iron City" is increasing, and the social status of craftsmen has been rapidly improved, which has triggered a strong shock of agriculture and industry in Qingzhou, and promoted the attention of all walks of life to technology and talents.

Officials at all levels in Qingzhou were shocked by the hand of the lord Liu Cun, and many people could not understand, what made the lord attach such importance to craftsmen?

Confused, the officials inquired with each other and discussed with each other, and soon saw the huge wealth rolling in from the armor and weapons that were continuously sold to the Central Plains, Liaodong and Youji Prefectures, and the various commodities made of steel, and finally understood why the lord always called Qingzhou's steel manufacturing industry the pillar industry of Qingzhou's economy.
