With the input of a large amount of money and grain, everything in Huainan has entered an orderly development.

First of all, Wang Chong's 'cash-for-work' policy has triggered a frenzy among all the people of Huainan, with countless active participants, not to mention the fact that the consolidation of embankments and the construction of water canals and other projects themselves benefit the people of Huainan, which has also increased their enthusiasm for work a lot.

The ancient people were relatively simple, who was good to them, they would be grateful to whom, just like now, Wang Chong is willing to pay his own money to improve their lives, then they, the beneficiaries, naturally can't be perfunctory, get some tofu scum for Wang Chong, and when the disaster occurs in the next year, it is they themselves who will be punished.

The people's dedication has reduced the pressure on Lu Su a lot, looking at the simple faces that are busy with sweat but always with a satisfied smile, Lu Su, who is full of a sense of steadfastness, finally knows what he has been pursuing, and this also makes him really feel the difference between Wang Chong and other princes.

Perhaps, Wang Chong has such and such shortcomings, but it is undeniable that no one has done better than him in treating the people.

Think about the other princes, what will they do after they suddenly get a large sum of money? Recruiting troops and expanding armaments, all he thinks about is how to build a bigger territory, but what about Wang Chong? The first thing that came to his mind was the people.

In order to make the people under his rule have enough food and clothing and live a better life, and in order to allow the soldiers to serve Jinfan without any worries, Wang Chong issued just a few decrees, but the money and food needed to spend is almost astronomical.

Jinfan's current strength is not small, but if you think about it carefully, from beginning to end, Wang Chong has never recruited troops on a large scale, and most of Jinfan's troops are actually from the recruited soldiers.

Under normal circumstances, the loyalty of the soldiers is often not very high, but why is Jinfan able to unite the hearts of the army in a very short period of time, so that these soldiers are desperate? Isn't this question worth pondering?

Now, the entire Huainan people are aspiring, united as one, Lu Su can say without exaggeration that as long as Wang Chong thinks, he only needs to climb the heights and shout, and Jinfan's strength can be expanded to more than 100,000 in an instant, but Wang Chong is not Yuan Shu, he will naturally not be stupid enough to fish with all his strength, and hollow out all his foundations in one go.

When Wang Chong beheaded the twelve Huainan families, Lu Su was actually not optimistic about Wang Chong, but now, Lu Su has somewhat changed his opinion about this, if, if Wang Chong can treat the people as well as possible in the future, even if he has not been able to get the support of the family, it seems that it may not be impossible to succeed.

Today's princes, most of them only pay attention to the family, but they have never taken the 'lowly' people in their eyes seriously, but they don't know that the people are the foundation of the country, just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion launched by the people back then, and even directly shook the foundation of the Han Dynasty, which shows that the energy of the people is definitely not to be underestimated.

Lu Su didn't know if Wang Chong's behavior of 'putting the cart before the horse' in the eyes of other princes could be successful, but with such a lord who loved the people like a son, Lu Su had no regrets.

In Jiujiang, Lü Dai, who succeeded the traitor Yang Hong as the commander of Jiujiang County, did a very good job, and he resolutely implemented Wang Chong's policy of 'shifting the center of gravity to the south', so far, at least more than 1,000 families in the northern part of Huainan have been successfully relocated to the south of Hefei and resettled and allocated land.

Chaohu and Buqi also took over Zhuge Jin's tuntian affairs in full, and the number of displaced people who have been resettled has reached 100,000, although these displaced people do not have their own land like the people of Huainan, but Wang Chong's share is not as fierce as Cao Cao's, and under the premise that Jinfan provides all the farming tools, he will only collect four layers of income in the end, and the remaining six layers will be owned by the tunmin.

Moreover, Wang Chong did not restrict the freedom of these people like Cao Cao, and they could also participate in some other work in their spare time, for example, they also enjoyed the same qualification as the Huainan people's 'cash-for-work', as long as they joined it, they could get corresponding remuneration, so as to increase their additional income and improve their living conditions.

After Zhuge Jin and Yan Ji, who had ended the grain distribution operation, returned to Anhui City, Wang Chong immediately sent a letter of appointment to Chaohu, officially appointing Bu Qi as the general of Diannong Zhonglang and Wei Jing as the captain of Diannong, that is to say, all the matters of Tuntian under Jinfan's rule in the future will be handed over to these two people.

In addition, Wang Chong asked Yan Jian to replace Lu Dai, who went to Hefei, as the commander of Wancheng and Gong Cao, in addition to the above two jobs, and even to help Lu Su share part of the pressure, in a short time, it is estimated that he will be busy enough.

But this can't be helped, everything in Huainan is in ruins now, everyone's workload is very heavy, especially Zhuge Jin, as a don't drive, he needs to take care of everything, and he is very busy, even if Wang Chong is the lord, he is almost not idle for a moment, this situation has not improved until Yan Xiang and Liu Ye are busy with household registration.

The fourth year of Jian'an, September 28.

Wang Chong called Liu Ye and Zhuge Jin to the General's Mansion: "Ziyang, Ziyu, now that the situation in Huainan has stabilized, I am going to go out for a few days, and during my absence, Huainan will ask you two!" ”

Liu Ye lowered his head and pondered for a while, and asked, "The lord doesn't want to go to Jingzhou, right?" ”

Wang Chong was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "How can you see it?" ”

"The lord is going out at this juncture, it shouldn't be for distraction, right?" Liu Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "And looking at the Quartet forces adjacent to my Jinfan, only Jingzhou in the west is profitable!" ”

"Then Zi Yang knows, what am I trying to do?"

Liu Ye smiled slightly, and lightly spit out two words in his mouth: "Wancheng!" ”

Wang Chong's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Isn't Ziyang a mind-reading skill?" ”

Liu Ye said with a smile: "Although the gentleman's heart is unpredictable, but Ye knows that the lord is a person, before Cao Cao secretly intervened in Huainan, not only plotted against Yang Hong, but even instigated the family to make a rebellion, this account, the lord is afraid that he has been thinking about it, right?" ”

"Those who know me, Zi Yangye!" Wang Chong laughed when he heard this, "That Ziyang is saying, why should I go to Wancheng?" ”

Liu Ye analyzed: "It's very simple, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's decisive battle is imminent, before that, he must first stabilize the rear, so Nanyang, Cao Cao is determined to win, and with Zhang Xiu's strength, it is impossible to be Cao Cao's opponent, in the end, Zhang Xiu only has two ways to go, either defect to Liu Biao, or return to Cao Cao, and the lord is going, I think it is to tell Zhang Xiu that he actually has a third way to choose." ”

"What Ziyang said is exactly what I think." Wang Chong nodded and said, "Zhang Xiu's strategist Jia Xu is good at seeking his life, so he will definitely persuade Zhang Xiu to return to Cao Cao, but this is not what I want to see, not only because Zhang Xiu has exactly 5,000 cavalry in my Jinfan scarce, but also because the threat of Jia Xu, who is exhausted, is too great, if this person cannot be used by me, I must kill him as soon as possible to eliminate future troubles!" ”

Zhuge Jin asked for an order: "But even so, the lord does not need to risk his life, Jin is willing to go to Wancheng on behalf of the lord, and he will persuade the embroidery to vote with his three-inch tongue!" ”

"Ziyu doesn't know, the reason why I want to go to Wancheng in person, saying that lowering Zhang Xiu is only one of them, and the other is ......" Speaking of this, the corners of Wang Chong's mouth suddenly hooked up with a hideous sneer, "I also want to take this opportunity to wrestle my wrist with that Cao Cao, otherwise, he is really a bully for me Jinfan!" ”

"This ......"

"Is the lord sure?" Unlike Zhuge Jin's melancholy face, Liu Ye seemed much calmer.

Wang Chong said: "This time I will go to Wancheng, I will take Ziyi and Ziquan, although I am not sure to defeat Cao Cao, but self-protection is definitely more than enough!" ”
