Chapter 624: Maritime Trade

In Liu Feng's hands, there are at least two available people, Cai Yong and Luo Jun. Luo Jun www.biquge.info, who once served as Chen Guoxiang, once served as Chen Guoxiang, and he could completely take charge of a county. And Cai Yong is the best candidate in charge of education. His daughter, Cai Yan, is in the management school with Xueba.

There are also Liu Ye and Lu Fan brought back by Liu Feng, who returned to Jiangdong, and Liu Feng didn't care about them, nor did he treat them as prisoners, and let them wander around. As time went on, the two men became more and more identified with Koto. One had a favor to Jiangdong (the Battle of the Ganjiang River), and the other was a fellow of Liu Feng (although this is relatively false), as long as Liu Feng opened his mouth, it is estimated that there would be no possibility of rejection. It's just that Liu Feng has not spoken out, and their own reserve is impossible to rush up and take the initiative to take refuge.

However, before that, there are still some big political things to implement.

First of all, the restriction on the emergence of large landlords in the territory must be firmly enforced. For the Shi clan, Liu Feng gave them a future and wealth, but he couldn't give them land. Once there is too much land, it needs sufficient strength to defend, and once the number of people is large, it will form an unstable factor in the locality, and once the government shows weakness, they will take advantage of the situation to expand and gradually form a gate lord power.

This is what Liu Feng does not want to see, so he does not restrict the big clans in terms of property, and even pays to buy the land of those who cooperate with his big clans, encouraging them to get rich in business. That is, there are not many Huiji clans, Liu Feng took the initiative at the beginning, and the rest of the families were also more cooperative, and formed a joint force on this basis, so that they could continue to be implemented in Danyang and Wu County.

Jiangbei is more wealthy, Lujiang has more clans, and the Zhou family is the head of it. In fact, the Zhou family originally did not plan to defect to Liu Feng, and the most likely thing was to make many subordinates and let Zhou Yu join Jiangdong alone. But the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, who would have thought that Yuan Shu would suddenly become emperor, so they had no choice at all. Even so, the Zhou clan let many people be reluctant to move to Liu Feng's rule, and they still dreamed of being a minister for generations. But in the end, at the Zhou family meeting, Zhou Yu still persuaded most people. As for those who are resolutely unwilling to go to Jiangdong, it is simple, and the separation is.

With the Zhou family's leading role, the work of the rest of the clan was much easier, and after taking the money, they began to prepare for other businesses.

Fortunately, although this era has passed hundreds of years of influence from Confucianism, Confucianism has not yet entered a dead end, and the Jiupin Zhongzheng system has not been formed.

The second is to continue to recruit troops.

The Battle of Lujiang exposed Liu Fengfeng's shortcomings in the number of troops, although he always believed that the soldiers were expensive but not too expensive, but sometimes, the number was indeed a big advantage. While Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others attacked the city and plundered the land, all the strategic places were prepared with sufficient armies in case of accidents. Like Yuan Shu, no matter how fierce the fight between Lu and Yingchuan was, Chen and Liang never moved and were not affected by the war. Similarly, Chenliu, Shanyang and other places are the same, because there are enough large armies in the town, neither side wants to or dares to expand the war at will, because they cannot afford the attrition brought by the war.

And Liu Feng, once the army is mobilized, there really doesn't have much reserve force. If there are too few troops, the attack will be weak; If there are too many troops, the rear will be empty, and in case there is a change, the response will be insufficient.

Before Liu Feng dispatched an army of five million, which was later increased to six million, Liu Feng was discounted, and left some soldiers and horses in Wu County, Yuzhang, and Huiji to prevent accidents. Even Liu Feng thought that he would lead the army to the expedition and be able to lure out the Shanyue people who were dissatisfied with the dissatisfaction caused by the analysis of the land and the county, but it was obviously a failure, and the Shanyue people were still enduring it.

In Huiji, the garrison of the army was not only to prevent Shanyue, but also to guard against the people who were sent down the mountain to preach. Religious belief has always been a problem, and even in modern times, it is impossible to prevent people from plotting against religion under the guise of religion. But this was also a failure, and the preacher preached honestly, without any changes.

Recruitment, the standing army was expanded by five million on the basis of the previous (non-post-war) basis, and the garrison army in the counties was increased to two hundred thousand. In this way, one-third of the army was expanded at one time, which was a great pressure on Liu Feng's finances. He estimated that before the recruitment was completed, his treasury would be clean.

There is also the problem of aliens, with the expansion of Liu Feng's territory, there must be more and more aliens under his rule. The lord player Liu Feng is in desperate control, not giving him a chance to have a strong military force. And the number of ranger players, under the leadership of Jiang ASEAN, has gradually increased. What's even more terrifying is that basically all of these people have reached the strength of low-level generals, and there are not a few who have reached the middle level. On the battlefield, it may not be able to resist the elite army in formation under the leadership of high-level generals, but if it is a melee, the lethality is much stronger. In case something goes wrong, it's also a huge hidden danger.

Liu Feng has always believed that aborigines are far more credible than players. Therefore, he is not ready to continue to expand Jiang ASEAN, but is ready to gradually dismember it, and under the same signboard, divide the battle hall into different departments. For example, the branch specifically for Jiangbei, the branch for Jingzhou and even the branch for Jiaozhou, and the Intelligence Hall can divide the thirteen prefectures of Dahan and even the specific counties into different branches.

However, this is also a big project, and it is not easy to solve, at least it can't make people feel that Liu Feng is unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

……

The three years of Jian'an have finally arrived, and some people are happy and some are worried. And Liu Feng is here, adjusting personnel and gradually implementing his own policies, and everything is very stable. Lu Fan and Liu Ye were also recruited and took refuge in Liu Feng, Cai Yong and Luo Jun were idle for several years, and finally agreed to go out again.

So, Liu Feng began to think about his money-making plan.

There is no way, the money in the treasury is consumed day by day, and if he doesn't open the source, he is really afraid that he will not be able to make ends meet at that time, which will lead to the mutiny of his army.

Open source, of course, is not a simple matter, Liu Feng thought about it, and finally could only put his idea on maritime trade.

Occupying the southeast half of the country, the coastline under Liu Feng's rule is very broad, if you take sea transportation, as long as you avoid pirates and storms, it is far faster than on the road, because on the sea, there are no players, and the current lord players basically do not have the ability to build big ships, and it is not easy to walk in the rivers, let alone the sea route. On the land, the states and counties are densely packed with player territories, and there is always no shortage of adventurous players, even if the caravan has a guard player, but if you fight all the way, it will not only take a lot of time, but too many losses will not make up for the losses.

Liu Feng has always wanted to open up maritime trade, but because the navy is not strong, he can only postpone this idea. Although he had traveled up the Yellow River several times by sea to Luoyang, he was accompanied by a large army. And if you do business in your own name, it is impossible to bring so many people, otherwise you will not be able to make a profit at all. Therefore, the maritime trade in Jiangdong has always been dominated by the original clans.

This is also a place that Liu Feng has not touched deeply.

But now, Zhou Yu has arrived here, as long as the navy training is completed and there is a strong navy, he will have enough strength to escort merchant ships and earn huge profits.

In particular, with this caravan, it was possible to connect Jiaozhou, which was almost cut off from the Central Plains, with the north.

Also, Yizhou, which is growing in population and gradually getting richer, should also be launched at that time.
