In this way, in a short period of time, the problem of the people of Yangzhou was solved, as long as the famine was solved, other things were easy to do, and then, Zhang Zhao and Kong Yun made suggestions together, borrowed a large amount of gold and silver from the hands of the gate lords from all over the country, and sent special personnel to northern Xinjiang to collect various technologies that can be opened to the outside world. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Then give these technologies to the people, or send them to the door valve to start a factory research and development, and even under the leadership of Liu Bei, Yangzhou Government personally came forward to set up a firm to take care of, long-term investment, the results are very considerable, just one year, Liu Bei not only paid off the debt, but also initially restored the vitality of Yangzhou, most of the people can plant something, work has income, at least can fill their stomachs, no longer hungry and cold.

Zhang Zhao's arrival brought a new life to Yangzhou, and also helped Liu Bei solve the biggest problem, so Zhang Zhao's status in Yangzhou officialdom is very high, seeing Xiang Fei disrespectful to Zhang Zhao, Liu Bei was immediately angry, only to see Liu Bei get up, pointed at Xiang Fei and shouted: "Second brother, apologize to Mr. Zibu immediately, dare to be disrespectful to Mr. Zibu, don't recognize you as a brother!" Fast! Apologize!! ”

Seeing Liu Bei's angry look, Xiang Fei was stunned, but immediately came back to his senses, knowing that what he said just now was a bit excessive, he still respected Zhang Zhao and Xiang Fei very much, just now it was just because he was angry for a while, who called Xiang Fei a military general, an irritable person?

"Fei knows that he is wrong, and I hope Mr. will not blame him." With a flushed face, Xiang Fei walked towards Zhang Zhao in embarrassment, bowing to Zhang Zhao and admitting his mistake.

Seeing Xiang Fei's appearance, Zhang Zhao was a little at a loss, glanced at Liu Bei, felt the thick apology in Liu Bei's eyes, and was immediately moved, at this moment, Zhang Zhao suddenly found that his choice was right, maybe Liu Bei was his better allegiance.

Prior to this, Zhang Zhao had been very hesitant, even if he became Liu Bei's courtier, he would often consider in his heart whether his choice was right or wrong, after all, Liu Tai's conditions were too generous, and the foundation was not comparable to Liu Bei at all, as long as Liu Tai did not make a mistake, when the troubled times came, it would definitely be Liu Tai who would reign in the world, and Liu Bei would not have any hope at all.

However, there is also something to say, the person who is a confidant dies, well, in fact, it is rather a chicken head, not a cow queen, in northern Xinjiang, although Zhang Zhao's talent is outstanding, but the qualifications are to catch up with Xun Yu and others, at most to be Xun Yu's assistant, almost the sky, but in Yangzhou is different, Kong Yun is good at fighting, good at scheming, but not good at internal affairs, Zhang Zhao's arrival, immediately made up for the loopholes in Yangzhou's high-level, generally, even Kong Yun has to listen to Zhang Zhao's teachings, Zhang Zhao suddenly became a big chicken head in Yangzhou politics

"General Xiang quickly exempt from courtesy" Zhang Zhao stepped forward to help Xiang Fei with a big look, in Yangzhou, Xiang Fei is Liu Bei's brother-in-law, his identity is not ordinary, he was worshiped by Xiang Fei, isn't it Zhang Zhao who thinks that he is the four brothers of Liu Bei? I can't stand it.

"Since ancient times, civil and military forces can not be with, the general for the great cause of the lord, naturally hope to expand the army, large-scale expansion of the army, but as a civilian official, but can not help but object, because once the expansion of the army, it will affect the root of the major counties, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yangzhou youth and strong sharply reduced, according to the statistics at the end of the third year of Zhongping, the entire Yangzhou is registered, eighteen to forty young and strong only 670,000 people, which is only one-third of the number compared with the light and five years of 186 million! Hey, you can see how much harm the ant thieves have brought to me in Yangzhou. Zhang Zhao shook his head, looked at everyone in the hall with a sad face, and sighed and said.

"Zibu, didn't you say that there are still 670,000 young people in Yangzhou, in that case, why can't the army be expanded? Now even if I count the county soldiers who maintain law and order in Yangzhou, I have only recruited 130,000 young people, compared with the registered young people, only one-fifth, in terms of macro, I can recruit another 100,000 young people to enlist in the army" Fan Hong looked up at Zhang Zhao with a stupid face, a little puzzled, in Fan Hong's opinion, more than 600,000 young people are already astronomical, if they are all conscripted into the army, let alone guard against Shanyue, there is no problem in destroying Shanyue.

Hearing Fan Hong's words, Zhang Zhao's face suddenly turned into pig liver, not only Zhang Zhao, but also Liu Bei and Kong Yun and other intellectuals were also depressed and speechless, more than 600,000 people, there were only four-fifths left, and another 100,000 people were recruited, isn't that self-destruction? The entire lower layer of Yangzhou will cause a major earthquake because of this.

"General Fan" Zhang Zhao looked at Fan Hong, eager to slap Fan Hong, but Fan Hong's identity is similar to Xiang Fei, naturally he can't be disrespectful, he can only be angry in his belly, endure his anger, and say to Fan Hong with red eyes: "General Fan, have you ever thought about how much land there is in the whole Yangzhou, and how many young people are in charge of Tuntian, now one-fifth of the young people have been conscripted into the army, which has made the military supply very difficult, if another 100,000 people are recruited, Enzhao will give you an analogy, I have a population of 300,000 in Danyang, of which about 40,000 are young and strong." , which is equivalent to saying that after recruiting 100,000 people, the entire Danyang County plus a large surrounding county will never see a single young man again!! ”

In Fan Hong's mind, there was a picture of old and weak women and children everywhere he went, and he was suddenly frightened, 670,000 young people sound like a lot, but it is a bit inconspicuous in the major counties and counties of Yangzhou, and even after many towns were plagued by the yellow scarf, there is no young man at all, if Liu Bei really ordered the recruitment of 100,000 young people into the army, it will definitely make Yangzhou's political situation completely collapse!

"The recruitment of troops must be carried out, Zibu also said that Yangzhou is vast, so it is impossible for 100,000 troops to be stationed on the whole line, of course, it is impossible to increase 100,000 soldiers, in Zibu's opinion, what is the maximum number of troops I can recruit in Yangzhou?" After listening to Zhang Zhao's speech, Liu Bei, who was at the top, did not give up the proposal to recruit soldiers, but directly made up his mind, and then asked Zhang Zhao.

In fact, Xiang Fei proposed to recruit troops, completely out of Liu Bei's hands, it is Liu Bei who really wants to recruit soldiers, not Xiang Fei who is in charge of the army, for Xiang Fei, as long as Liu Bei hands over the 30,000 Danyang garrison to Xiang Fei, Xiang Fei will have the confidence to conquer Shanyue and beat Shanyue to a pulp!

Why did Liu Bei recruit soldiers? Could it be that Liu Bei couldn't see the situation in front of Yangzhou clearly? In fact, Liu Bei sees it very clearly, and he knows it very clearly, it is because he knows it very clearly that Liu Bei wants to expand the army, Liu Bei has a specialty that others don't know, it is difficult to look at the situation, look at the general trend of the world! For example, although today's chaos has been decided, but the real chaos has not yet begun, Liu Bei saw that as long as Emperor Han Ling died, the Han world would definitely be completely chaotic, and if you want to have a foundation in the troubled times, or hold a territory, the most important thing is soldiers and horses!

100,000 soldiers and horses, not enough! Not at all! At most, he can only defend, if he wants to attack, it is simply a fantasy, Liu Bei really hates it at this time, why was he taken out by Jia Long for a full 600,000 Yangzhou youths, if these 600,000 youths are still there, Liu Bei can fully form an army of 300,000, and then take the Yangtze River as the line of defense, advance and retreat, retreat and defend, and can completely become a country within a country!

Seeing Liu Bei's unquestionable appearance, Zhang Zhao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and wanted to dissuade him, but looking at Liu Bei's resoluteness, it was impossible, but if the army was expanded, the damage to Yangzhou would be too great, even if the current more than 100,000 soldiers were brave, in terms of Zhang Zhao's original intention, they would have to be disarmed.

But the king is the king, the minister is the minister, since the king gave the death order, as a minister, Zhang Zhao can only naturally obey, glanced at Kong Yun, Zhang Zhao found that since he took the lead in speaking, Kong Yun has never said a word, maybe Kong Yun has long known today's events, in his heart, he also agrees, Kong Yun is a soldier, if there is no soldier, then show his talent so much? Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zhang Zhao realized at this time that maybe the only one who didn't know the truth was himself, and the ministers of Yangzhou who didn't see him around didn't express any opinions?

"If the lord insists on this, Zhao can only comply, with my current situation in Yangzhou, Bingyong can only recruit another 30,000 at most, 30,000 people is already the limit, if it exceeds this number, I Yangzhou will have a situation of Qingzhuang fault, the reason why the god king of northern Xinjiang wanted to cut off the entire 500,000 army is because of this." Bowing to Liu Bei, Zhang Zhao arched his hand and said, a little bitter, he can see the situation clearly, but he can't control the situation, 30,000 people is indeed the limit of Yangzhou, if there are more, Zhang Zhao himself has no confidence to maintain the situation in Yangzhou.

"30,000 people" saw Zhang Zhao's helpless look, Liu Bei was a little unbearable, in fact, Liu Bei had long wanted to discuss the expansion of the army, but there was no good excuse, now it is just in the tabular state, if Zhang Zhao really insists on objecting, Liu Bei may retract his opinion, in Liu Bei's opinion, the 30,000 army is not as heavy as Zhang Zhao, if you want to choose, Liu Bei will definitely choose Zhang Zhao.

"Okay, for the time being, it will be set at 30,000 people, disperse the recruitment, and try to relieve the pressure on the major counties and counties" Liu Bei nodded, made up his mind and said, and then saw Liu Bei suddenly look at the military map on the left side of the lobby, and said in a sentence: "If Jiujiang is still in the hands of Bei, Bei will not be so embarrassed at this time."

As we all know, the two Huai region is the world's largest granary, since ancient times there are two Huai Feng, the world is full of saying, in recent years, the reason why the Central Plains has a large area of famine, is because of several major floods on both sides of the Huai River, perhaps it is the precursor of troubled times, whenever the troubled times come, there will be inexplicable signs on both sides of the Huai River, the most common of which is that the flood floods the fertile land, and the crops that the people have worked hard to plant are destroyed.

"Jiujiang" couldn't help it, and the eyes of the military generals in the hall all looked at the place marked with Jiujiang County on the military map, where there were countless fertile fields, countless grains and grasses, and an extremely prosperous Shouchun City, the junction of the Central Plains and Yangzhou

Shouchun Shouchun City is the county capital of Jiujiang County, and it is also the seat of governance of the entire Yangzhou, of course, before Cao Ying became the master, since he controlled both sides of the Huai River, Cao Ying has been thinking from time to time, if he didn't attack Shouchun before Liu Bei, the foundation in front of him still doesn't belong to him?

In fact, Cao Ying should be most grateful to Liu Tai, if there is no Liu Tai, how can Cao Ying have the current foundation? Feudal marquis, worship generals, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, countless grains and grasses! This is what Cao Ying has dreamed of, but now it is so easy.

Some people will ask, since Liu Tai knew about Cao Ying's threat, why would he give such a big gift package? The original Yuan Shu's territory was completely given to Cao Ying, in fact, Liu Tai also knew that he was suffering, after learning that Liu Bei was sitting in Yangzhou, Liu Tai was completely stupid, because all this has been completely out of the trajectory of history, the former down-and-out man, so quickly jumped to the veritable king of Jiangdong of the Han Dynasty, sitting on the land of Jiangdong, with hundreds of thousands of armor under his hands, if Liu Bei is given space for complete development, there is no room for any restrictions, then it will be repaid?

In desperation, Liu Tai thought of Cao Ying, because in history, in the early period of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Ying has been pressing Liu Bei, without Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu before Liu Bei, it is completely a road dish, without the slightest use, so, Liu Tai threw Cao Ying to Lianghuai, although the Lianghuai region is rich, but there are the princes of the Central Plains in the front, and Liu Bei is eyeing each other, it is difficult to develop.

It must be admitted that the Lianghuai region is really a paradise on earth, now the flood has receded, the people have resumed production, in just two years, the treasury of Shouchun has been completely filled, if the water conservancy project is done, as long as ten years, the Lianghuai region alone can raise a million troops!

In history, the population of the Lianghuai region after the chaos was only more than one million people, but Yuan Shu was able to raise an army of two or three hundred thousand based on the grain and grass in the Lianghuai region, and even had the confidence to be the emperor in Shouchun, which was entirely due to the rich grain production in the Lianghuai region! In order to defend the Lianghuai region, Cao Ying even sent Zhang Liao, one of the five good generals, to be stationed in Hefei all the year round, in order to guard the gate of the two Huai.

In the later period of the Three Kingdoms, most of the credit for the Jin Dynasty was because of the Lianghuai region, because the Lianghuai region could continuously supply military food for the Jin army, with enough military food support, enough soldiers, and a wise monarch, would it be difficult to unify the world?

At this time, Cao Ying was very happy, to get the two Huai region, which is equivalent to saying that above the congenital, Cao Ying got the best space for development, if the Central Plains princes are really unbearable, it is not impossible to unify the Central Plains with the two Huai regions, of course, it is necessary to solve the rear of Liu Bei first, just when Cao Ying positioned the biggest enemy as Liu Bei, Liu Bei also set the first enemy in this life as Cao Ying, although the world is impermanent, but there is always a law, it is true.
