Li Xueyin smiled and said: "Zhiwen asked how to solve the problem of insufficient location for building a city, there is no time limit!" As for the question of whether we can afford to slow down the urgency, we can only say that we are not able to foresee enough, so we will be in a hurry at this time. Since it can't be solved by conventional means, then use unconventional means, this Zhiwen is better at 1

Fang Zhiwen grinned, worthy of being her confidante, when others were still guessing her thoughts, she already knew what she wanted to do.

In fact, Fang Zhiwen is not so anxious, Tian Chou also said just now, even if you don't do anything, the city candidate address can still be used for a year, if it really doesn't work, Tian Chou's method can also be an emergency measure, and then increase efforts to build water diversion projects, artificial manufacturing of suitable city construction sites, this method can be carried out in the Yellow River and Liaohe River basins, which are also conducive to actively adjusting the urban distribution form.

So why did Fang Zhiwen raise this issue now through Tian Chou, which seems to have the meaning that it must be solved? This matter has to be traced back to some time ago, Fang Zhiwen once again received a task guide from the system, the main task.

This time, the main quest is relatively large, and there is no time limit.

'Main Quest: Recovering Jizhou. The goal is to recover the entire territory of Jizhou. Rewards, based on mission completion. Jizhou is the barrier of Youzhou, but also the bridge from Youzhou to the Central Plains, Jizhou has open land and fertile land, developed water system, and is a plain grain producing area suitable for large-scale farming. ’

From the perspective of the system, it is actually the same question as the one he wanted to raise in Fang Zhiwen. Due to Fang Zhiwen's population growth, the food problem will become more and more prominent. Although it is still possible to import grain through Jiangdong, Huiji, and even Jiaozhou, this situation of being controlled by others must not last long, even if the relationship with the Heaven and Earth Society is very close, food security cannot be put in other people's granaries.

Therefore, the task of recovering Jizhou is to fully enter the developed North China Plain, on the one hand, to gain time for Youzhou to continue to develop the Yanbei Plain and the Northeast Plain. On the other hand, it can also solve Fang Zhiwen's increasingly serious food problem and population resettlement problem.

It can be said that the task of the system is to deduce according to the current situation and development of Youzhou, and then give a quite reliable suggestion. Of course, Fang Zhiwen can also not accept this task, it is estimated that if he does not accept the task, he will continue to develop. Similar tasks will come out again.

The task itself is not to force Fang Zhiwen to be, but more like a guide and suggestion, the purpose is to hope that Fang Zhiwen's road can go better.

Seeing Fang Zhiwen smile, most of the people present understood that Li Xueyin's words hit the heart, and he was indeed the confidant of the lord. can accurately guess the lord's thoughts, so does the lord want to use the means of war to solve the problem? Looking at the surrounding area of Youzhou, the target can only be Jizhou!

Everyone knows the benefits of Jizhou, the only question is how to fight and to what extent? Now the foreign war in Youzhou is a big burden, if a big war is launched in Jizhou. Can Youzhou's economy survive?

"Lord, are you planning to go to war?" Xun Yu glanced at Tian Feng. Then he asked Fang Zhiwen.

"Yes, in principle, through this period of discussion, you should have understood that we need Jizhou now, Jizhou can provide support for the sustainable and healthy development of our Youzhou, buy time for our adjustment, can accommodate a large number of immigrants, and can produce a large amount of food. Taihang Mountain has been controlled by our hands, and we only need to push the defensive forces of Daijun, Zhuojun and Qinghekou to the edge of the Yellow River, coupled with the blocking of the Yellow River, our army does not need to increase much military investment to maintain the security of Jizhou, which is a quite cost-effective strategic idea. ”

Fang Zhiwen glanced at everyone, and lightly said the military plan that he had repeatedly discussed with Tian Feng and others.

"My lord, but if we start an all-out war with Yuan Shao, the pressure on our army will be too great.1

Tian Chou's worries may not be unreasonable, and the pressure of a war on the third front will certainly not be small, and if all the mobile troops distributed in various places are withdrawn, local security will also be very problematic.

Xun Yu also nodded: "Will money and food be tight?" We were already a little nervous about housing a large number of people. ”

Zhen Jiang immediately replied: "If the scale of the operation is too large, the strategic reserves will be used, and if it is a war of less than 100,000 people, the problem is not big." ”

"Yuan Hao, you come to tell everyone about our plan, this plan is now top secret, and no one is allowed to leak a single thing1

"No1

In the staff department, everyone was busy with the things at hand, Li Ru walked into Tian Feng's office with a summary of information, and saw Tian Feng standing on the edge of the map with his hands behind his back and pondering, Li Ru did not disturb him, tiptoed to put the information on the desk, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat on the side and waited with peace of mind.

"Huh? When Wenyou came, he didn't call me. ”

"Hehe, I see you are pondering, afraid of interrupting your train of thought1

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about something."

"Idle? Looking at the military map and thinking about it, Yuan Hao is really dedicated1

Tian Feng smiled, sat down after returning to the desk, glanced at the copy of the intelligence summary, and did not rush to open it, but muttered for a while: "Actually, I was thinking, why did the lord suddenly think about Jizhou, strategically speaking, it is far from the time to have to take Jizhou, of course, I am very much in favor of the decision of the lord1."

"Hehe, anyone will be in favor, take Jizhou, it's close to the Central Plains, look at the map, from Juyanhai to Yongming, from Qingzhou to Jiangdong, we have held the Central Plains in the palm of our hands, it depends on when the lord takes down the Central Plains, Jizhou is just a beginning1

"Well, that's good. What I wonder about is this timing, this is not the best time, there are great variables in the plan itself, especially Yuan Shao's choice, if it can be a little later, wait until Yuan Shao is deeper in the Central Plains, and wait until Cao Cao's strength is consumed more powerfully, it will be much less difficult for us to succeed. ”

Li Ru smiled and pointed to the information on the table: "The situation is changing rapidly, if it is not suitable today, it does not mean that it will not be suitable tomorrow, I am very much in favor of the lord's approach, it is always right to prepare first, and the lord also said that we should find ways to intensify the battle in the Central Plains, which can also improve the possibility of success." ”

"Of course I understand, what I want to say is, how did the lord come up with this idea, and what is the starting point of the lord?"

Li Ru frowned, thought about it for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Could this have anything to do with Miss Li?" ”

"It's possible, if it's just Miss Li to nothing, Yiren's mind is open-minded, and she won't look left and right, and it's normal for her ideas to be bold, I'm just worried."

"Are you worried about the influence of the Zhen family?"

"There are also the Mi family, the Cui family, the Xun family and other big clans, of course, our Tian family may also be counted, if these big clans are promoted because of their desire for food, then we must be cautious about this matter, think a little more, we can't only see the benefits, but not the disadvantages."

"Yuan Hao is saying that the big clans are easily blinded by interests, so they choose more risky actions?"

"Yes, it's not obvious this time, after all, Jizhou has been our goal for a long time, so all kinds of preparations are quite sufficient, I'm just worried that this is just the beginning, when these are the big clans taste the sweetness, will they continue to push the lord in a more adventurous direction, this is definitely not a good phenomenon."

Li Ru thought for a while and said, "Yuan Hao, are you going to kill your relatives in righteousness?" Hehe. ”

"Of course not, I'm just taking precautions, Youzhou's policies can't just be dominated by these big clans, but also must be supervised and curbed by other interest groups, I'm worried that the lord doesn't realize this, perhaps, I should ask the lord face to face, I hope the lord will pay attention to this."

"I think Yuan Hao is too worried, this matter is in accordance with the procedure, from the lord to the lord, to the staff to discuss, and then to make a plan, and then to the Supreme Council to pass, if it only represents the interests of the big clan and giant businessmen, it can't be passed at the meeting, this plan is in line with the interests of all parties, Yuan Hao doesn't have to worry at all, but it's not wrong to mention it to the lord, after all, it can be prevented."

Tian Feng nodded, temporarily put down his thoughts, picked up the intelligence summary on the table, and discussed it with Li Ru.

Fang Zhiwen felt very strange about Tian Feng, who had visited after dinner, Tian Feng hinted that he wanted to talk alone, so Fang Zhiwen simply hugged Fang Yong, who was sticking to him, and talked in detail with Tian Feng while walking.

"Hehe, Yuan Hao is too worried, I know the problem you said, and I will deal with it very carefully, the pursuit of interests by businessmen is simply irrational, so the demands of businessmen must be supervised and restricted, of course, the initiative of businessmen is also very strong, and the contribution to social development is irreplaceable, so we can't waste food because of choking."

"It's good that the lord can be vigilant at all times, and his subordinates are worried that the lord will be bewitched by the merchants.1

"Hehe, not this time, but it's not a guarantee in the future, that's why I need you to limit my power, people are emotional animals, and no one can guarantee that they will keep a calm and sober mind all the time, Yuan Hao, you did the right thing, thank you 1

"This is a subordinate matter, why should the lord say thank you. However, can the lord tell me, why did he propose a plan to attack Jizhou this time? The subordinates are also very curious1

"Hehe, this, it's actually very simple, it's a task."

After Fang Zhiwen finished speaking, he pointed to the sky, Tian Feng suddenly said, so, does the god of heaven also think that Jizhou is the direction of the future?

"Is there a time limit for this?"

"No, but I think it's best to complete it this year and next, the bottleneck of the city's site selection is real, and the cost of building a canal is even higher than the cost of war."

"Then you won't open the canal?"

"No, it's still open, but it's going to slow down a bit, and it's going to be done at full speed every year in the winter, and the cost will be much lower. War is not all, Yuan Hao 1 is not over to be continued...
