Two years passed before I knew it.

In the past two years, Huang Shang has completely digested the entire Jiangdong, under the guidance of ten agricultural skills full level bosses, the past two years of Jiangdong harvest year after year, with a full warehouse of grain is no longer enough to describe its bumper harvest, the grain merchants from other states of the Han Dynasty have come to Jiangdong to buy grain, so that the people of other states are full, this is the real situation that makes Huang Shang satisfied and makes the warlords of other states worried.

All the high-yield crops controlled by Huang Shang are kept in his own hands, and only during the planting season will they be distributed to farmers according to the registration of each household, and as for the grain sold out, it is already processed flour, rice, cornmeal, dried sweet potatoes, potato flour, etc., and there is no possibility of keeping his own seeds.

With high-yielding grain seeds in their hands, warlords in other states could not get it. In order to feed the people under their rule, they can only rely on 'imports' to maintain governance, otherwise the poor people or displaced people under their rule who can't eat enough will run to Jiangdong and Jiaozhou, and it will be over.

Fortunately, they 'imported' grain from Jiangdong and Jiaozhou, because in the first year of Huang Shang's reign in Jiangdong, in order to stabilize the tuntian under his rule, various warlords strictly implemented the policy of not going to Jiangdong and Jiaozhou to buy grain for one year.

The result?

More than 500,000 people fled to Jiangdong that year, and the warlords in other states quickly suspended this policy, and could only watch as the grain merchants under their control went to Jiangdong and Jiaozhou to buy grain, but they could not do anything.

Those families who annexed land have become a loss-making business because of farming, and they have gritted their teeth with hatred for Huang Shang over the years, although they can't kill Huang Shang on the battlefield, but don't forget how Sun Ce died.

So in the past year, as many as three digits of dead soldiers slept in the open, and they touched Huang Shangzhi's office step by step, trying to assassinate him.

But whether Huang Shang is at home or out, he will always be accompanied by a group of guards, so that they can't start, but under the management of the household registration system, all outsiders will be monitored by the local government and even the people, as long as they find that there is a problem with the person, then don't think about leaving.

Although these dead soldiers were skilled, they also had to eat, and while they were spending the night or buying food, a group of well-trained soldiers would soon come around.

And then...... There is no then.

In a year, the three-digit dead soldiers didn't even touch a single hair of Huang Shang, and the army was wiped out.

Although when they forced confessions, these dead soldiers would rather die than recruit them, and they really died in the end, Huang Shang didn't care about the origin of these dead soldiers. He thought with his heels that the people in the world who wanted to kill him, except for those family valves who had land at home, who else could there be?

Anyway, after he sets out on the expedition, these people will all die, and Huang Shang is still very tolerant of some people who are about to die.

Jianye, that is, Moling, since Huang Shang conquered Jiangdong, changed Moling to Jianye, taking the meaning of 'meritorious service', unabashedly revealing the ambition of self-reliance.

This was simply intolerable for Cao Cao, who held Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, but at the moment he had not yet unified the north, nor did he have enough forces to unite against Huang Shang.

Liu Biao?

No kidding.

If Liu Biao dares to go to war, at most half a year, Jingzhou will have to change its owner.

Although Liu Biao didn't dare to do it, Huang Shang would definitely do it to him, who let Jingzhou be next to Jiangdong and Jiaozhou! Who do you hit if you don't hit?

But if you can be the lord of Jingzhou for one more day, who wants to be one less day?

In the past two years, Liu Biao has also suffered from bulimia under anxiety, as long as he feels stressed, he will eat, it is said that Liu Biao two years ago was still a handsome old guy with a standard figure, but now he has become an old fat house.

Judging from the information that Huang Shang knows, this Liu Biao has already had a relatively serious three highs, and his heart is not good, so it is estimated that he will not live for a few years.

Therefore, if you don't have a heart that can withstand high pressure, don't be a warlord in troubled times, otherwise you will scare yourself to death before you fight, why bother!

On this day, after Huang Shang inspected the autumn harvest, the smile on his face never broke.

Although the summer was hit by a typhoon in the coastal areas, this year is still a bumper harvest year, the harvested grain is enough for 100 million people to eat for a year, but now the population of the entire Han is not 50 million, so in addition to selling some grains, Huang Shang also allows the people to make their own wine, and even will hold a wine tasting meeting next spring, when the gold, silver and bronze awards will be awarded, as long as they are awarded, the official will be responsible for promoting these famous wines in the Han world.

Not to mention the high price of selling, it can even go down in history.

This is a major boon for those who are good at winemaking, and many people are already preparing for this tasting, and the high price is secondary, mainly because of the opportunity to make a name for themselves.

How difficult it is for ordinary people to leave their names in the history books, especially a group of civilians who make wine. Now Huang Shang has provided them with such a good opportunity, but anyone with a little ambition does not want to miss it.

In fact, in addition to the wine tasting meeting, Huang Shang also launched a food meeting in the early years, using new grains to make new delicacies, and then promoting these delicacies to every corner of the Han world through the official to earn fame and make money.

Today's food fair is in its sixth session, and all kinds of delicacies have been promoted and sent to the tables of countless wealthy families, even ordinary civilians, there are also affordable civilian snacks.

But the poor have no choice, it is not easy for the poor to have enough to eat, how can they have money to buy snacks.

Therefore, Huang Shang has been taking 'making the people of the world fed, clothed, and rich to spend' as his own responsibility over the years, and has constantly promoted it in the army and the government and the opposition, moving the people under his rule to tears, and also making the blood of the civil and military officials boiling, vowing to fight for the wish of the Lord for life.

At present, Jiaozhou and Jiangdong are under their own governance, and it is no longer a problem for the people to be fed, but clothing is still a problem. In the past two years, Huang Shang has been trying to find a way to import cotton seeds from the Western Regions, and he is also promoting the people under his rule to raise more ducks and geese, and then the official comes forward to recycle duck down and goose down, and also does business with the nomads in the north, exchanging grain for wool.

Everything is for the development of the textile industry and the warmth of the people under his rule.

However, the development of the textile industry takes a long time, unlike growing food, planting that year, harvesting that year, this is a long-term development plan, and the current scale can only barely supply millions of people.

Because the scale is insufficient and the cost is relatively high, the current ordinary people still wear coarse linen clothes.

In fact, this is already very good, there are many civilians and homeless people who have just escaped from the north, a considerable number of them don't even have clothes, and some of them are a little ashamed to weave a straw skirt to cover their shame, and some are already numb and don't even bother to wear a straw skirt, so they just run over with their bare butts.

In order to settle these people, Huang Shang also spent a lot of money.

Alas! Born in troubled times, the people's lives are hard!

Therefore, Huang Shang also hated those family lords who annexed land, he killed all the scholars from Jiaozhou, and he still did so in Jiangdong. Even Sun Quan was driven to Jiaozhou by him to retire, and the land of Zhou Yu's family was also confiscated.

Maybe this is the reason why Zhou Yu refuses to surrender?

But it doesn't matter, through the training of the past few years, Huang Shang has selected a group of qualified talents among the graduates of the school, and these talents are now filled with positions in departments at all levels under his rule, even without the support of the officials of the noble clan, they will not be affected in the slightest.

It is better to say that without the interference of the noble officials, he can push the executive order more smoothly.

Nowadays, Huang Shang has become the biggest natural enemy of all the family valves in the Han world, and the family door valves can't get rid of it quickly.

But the place governed by Huang Shang became more and more prosperous, the combat effectiveness of the army became stronger and stronger, and it was scary to hear that a number of shipyards had been opened along the southern coast to build sea warships and navies capable of sailing across the sea. Coupled with the inexhaustible food and the support of all the people, it is really infuriating to the family gate.

Now there is a saying inside the family gate: if the yellow thief does not die, we will die.

Faced with this situation, the family gate lords are increasing their support for the rulers of their places, especially the family families under Cao Cao's rule, and they really can't wait for Cao Cao to immediately go south to destroy Huang Shang. It's a pity that the north is undecided, so they can only donate more money and food, hoping that Cao Cao will pacify the north as soon as possible.

As long as Cao Cao unified the north, with a population of tens of millions under his rule, he could fight with Huang Shang.

There are many cavalry in the north, as long as it is a decisive battle on the plains, Huang Shang's southern infantry is definitely not an opponent.

On the contrary, if Cao Cao fought a decisive battle with Huang Shang on the river, he must also be mentally prepared for the annihilation of the whole army.

The only question to face now and in the future is where to fight?

The river will die, but if you don't cross the river, you will have to face the continuous expansion of the population under Huang Shang. Once there is an overwhelming advantage in the population under Huang Shang's rule, even if it is a decisive battle in the Jiangbei Plain, Cao Cao is afraid that he will not be Huang Shang's opponent.

Originally, there were many court officials who hoped that Emperor Han Xian would issue a decree to take back Huang Shang's official position as Jiaozhou Mu, but Huang Shang had already changed Moling to Jianye, and the idea of self-reliance was clearly revealed. Jiaozhou and Jiangdong are already Huang Shang's territory, who dares to blow up with him?

It's hateful!

If the thief does not die, we will die!

I'm at odds with the Yellow Thief!

Just when the family gate lord gritted his teeth and wanted to kill Huang Shang, Huang Shang began to recruit troops shortly after the autumn harvest, forming a total of 100,000 troops, stationed troops in Jiangxia, and then sent a letter of persuasion to Liu Biao.

In the original history of the Three Kingdoms, the scholar clan represented by Cai Mao in Jingzhou took the initiative to open the door and surrender during Cao Cao's Northern Expedition, and gave the entire Jingzhou Bai to Cao Cao. Huang Shang also wanted to try it, could he surrender without a fight?

But he thought too much.

What he did in this world was not in the interests of the scholars at all, so none of the officials in Jingzhou persuaded Liu Biao to surrender, and all of them made a gesture of vowing to live and die with Jingzhou, which made Huang Shang very helpless.

Since they refuse to surrender, they can only fight.

In mid-October, 100,000 troops crossed the river to attack Xiakou and launched a full-scale war against Jingzhou.
