"Hmm."

In the palace, Ah Jiu looked at the curious girls and little loli walking around the palace, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, they are all beautiful and cute, no wonder they can leave their names in the history books." ”

"Don't freak them out." Huang Shang said: "After they die, I plan to send them to the Ice Palace, and they will get along for a long time in the future, don't spoil the relationship." ”

"You're really greedy." Ah Jiu smiled: "Aren't you afraid that you can't bear it?" ”

"It's not a problem of being overwhelmed." Huang Shang said: "If Zixin's Ice Palace wants to continue to upgrade, it needs to receive more necromancy, and the Ice Palace is likely to have its own realm in the future, and I can be regarded as giving my own people a way back." ”

Ah Jiu took a puff of cigarette, spit out a puff of smoke, and said, "Have you ever wondered if you die in the future, will you enter the Ice Palace?" ”

Huang Shang thought for a while and said, "I think it will!" ”

"Then what will become of you, who is parasitic in the Ice Palace, and Zixin?" Ah Jiu asked.

Huang Shang frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

"Zi Xin can make the necromancers in the Ice Palace obey her words." Ah Jiu's words have a deep meaning: "You are not afraid of ......"

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Huang Shang said: "I signed a soul contract with Zixin, and even if I die, the contract between us still exists. ”

After a pause: "I have always wondered, why do you always not believe Zixin?" ”

"What do you say?" Ah Jiu thought for a while and said, "Maybe she made me feel very uncomfortable." ”

"Uncomfortable?"

"Hmm." Ah Jiu took a puff of cigarette and said, "That feeling is like meeting a natural enemy, even if you can usually get along with each other, but the instinctive feeling can never be changed." ”

Huang Shang was thoughtful.

After a moment, he comforted: "It's good that you should treat Zixin as your natural enemy, but I can assure you that Zixin will not do anything bad to you, you can rest assured." ”

"I hope so."

After a moment of silence, Ah Jiu smiled and said, "What about these little girls?" Sleeping tonight? ”

Huang Shang glanced at her: "Don't make trouble, let's raise it for a few years first." ”

"It's fine." Ah Jiu smiled: "I will train them well." ”

"As you please."

……

As a Ming monarch, an infrastructure maniac from modern times, seeing that the political situation is gradually stabilizing, Huang Shang sent a persuasion to the princes of the world to surrender the table, so as to confirm where not to fight? Where do you have to fight?

On the other hand, infrastructure projects centered on Luoyang are on the agenda.

Huang Shang has a deep understanding of the geology of China, he knows where there are mines? Where is the oil? I also know how to use it, but starting from scratch always requires a lot of preparation.

Fortunately, he is used to it, anyway, the most important thing now is to grow the grain first, then open factories, recruit workers, lime factories, brick and tile factories and the like first, and then build bridges and roads and houses according to urban planning.

The next few years will not be very good, especially the Yellow Turban remnants in the north are making a lot of trouble, the Qingzhou soldiers started by Boss Cao are the 300,000 Yellow Turban thieves who broke through Qingzhou, and Zhang Yan, who is hiding in the mountains of Jizhou, is also a large number of Yellow Turban remnants.

These are all co-opted, and then they are given land, whether it is farming or work, it is much better than being a thief.

Because of the era name Huang Tian, Huang Shang also deliberately sent a letter of surrender to many Yellow Turban thieves, telling them that in the future, the Yellow Family will let the people live and work in peace and contentment, hoping that they can return to the imperial court, and be a good family in the future, so as to leave a good reputation for future generations.

These words poked at the hearts of these remnants of the Yellow Turbans, why did they join the Yellow Turbans? Isn't it because I can't live anymore and I want to have something to eat! Now that someone has given them the opportunity to eat enough and live and work in peace and contentment, how can they not be impressed?

But the reason that really made them make up their minds to surrender was the small words at the end of the surrender book - the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand.

What is there to hesitate about? Countless Yellow Turban generals surrendered one after another, hoping that Huang Shang could settle them well so that they could live a peaceful life of food and clothing.

Huang Shang accepted their surrender, and then sent people to settle them in a nearby county seat, and after registering them, they were given land and grain seeds, and under the guidance of agricultural experts, they used new farming tools to plough the land and grow grain, but before that, these young men accepted the work arranged by the imperial court in order to feed their families.

Because Huang Shang personally sent people down to supervise, the local officials did not dare to engage in moths. At the beginning, there were also some activities, but after the three clans were razed and more than ten cases were announced to the world, no one in Huang Shangzhi's local officials dared to do this anymore.

Although the money is good, it also has to be spent on life, not to mention that it will affect the three clans, in this era when the clan surpasses the country, no one dares to do this kind of thing that affects the family.

Huang Shang knew very well that this was an era that needed to reshape the national character, and he had already made plans and preparations to build the Huang Dynasty into a modern and powerful country in two hundred years, and he must not stagnate in the initial stage.

After the Yellow Turbans became good citizens, their lives were indeed visibly better, at least they could really eat enough, especially the grain seeds sent to them by Huang Shang, and after just a few months, they had a huge harvest.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the yield of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans, peanuts, etc., ripe and harvested.

The yield of potatoes per mu is more than 3,000 catties, the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is more than 2,000 catties, and the yield of corn per mu is also more than 1,000 catties. These three kinds of grain alone brought tears to the eyes of all the farmers.

They know that they really don't have to go hungry anymore.

As for soybeans and peanuts, although the yield per mu does not exceed 1,000 catties, the yield per mu of peanuts is also more than 800 catties, and the yield per mu of soybeans is the lowest, only more than 300 catties.

However, Huang Shang asked them to grow peanuts and soybeans, not to eat them as food, but to extract oil.

If people want to eat fat, they must have oil and water, whether it is soybean oil or peanut oil, which is a very high-quality source of oil and water.

In a few months, there was food, oil and water, and almost all the farmers enshrined Huang Shang's immortal tablet, burning three incense sticks every morning and evening, begging Huang Shang to live longer, and it was best to live tens of thousands of years, so that they would no longer have to live the bitter days of starvation and cold.

This year, there was a bumper harvest in Huangshang, and all kinds of infrastructure were frantically rolled out and built, but in terms of national affairs, it was not very smooth, the reason was that none of the princes surrendered, and even sent back letters to insult him and ridicule him, saying that the Han and the thief are not mutually exclusive.

Huang Shang sneered, and after remembering the names of these princes, he stood still for the time being, just waiting for the training of the army next year to be completed, and let these cats and dogs know how cruel it was to resist the Huang Dynasty.

In fact, Huang Shang was very surprised that Tao Qian in Xuzhou refused to surrender.

At the beginning, under the Tiger Prison, Tao Qian was at the back of the team that day because he did not have elite soldiers and strong generals, so he was at the back of the team that day, and when he was defeated and fled, he became the first prince to successfully escape.

In this way, Tao Qian returned to Xuzhou, and that one zhang made him frightened, he had never seen such a powerful cavalry in his life, and 50,000 cavalry crushed more than 300,000 cavalry and infantry coalition troops, which was simply ruthless.

After returning to Xuzhou, Tao Qian has been worried about whether he will be liquidated by Huang Shang? Sure enough, in the turn of the year, Huang Shang sent a letter of persuasion, asking him to surrender to the Yellow Chamber as soon as possible, so that he could live for the rest of his life.

Tao Qian was originally very moved, so he summoned the military and political bigwigs in Xuzhou to a meeting to discuss the surrender.

Some people are in favor of surrender, such as the military generals group headed by Cao Bao. They knew that Huang Shang had a super fierce general like Lu Bu under his hands. Under the Tiger Prison, the results of 50,000 cavalry crushing nearly 400,000 troops also made Cao Bao and others unable to resist. Can surrender, no one wants to die.

However, the civilian-official clique represented by Chen Deng, as well as the local gentry clique, resolutely expressed their opposition.

They are well-informed, and they have long known that Huang Shang has no good impression of the Shi clan, and he is very aggrieved to rule the Shi clan, living like a horse boy, and even raiding the family and exterminating the clan at every turn, who can stand this?

So under the opposition of the scholar group headed by Chen Deng, Tao Qian reluctantly refused to surrender, but only wrote a very formal reply, and did not sneer like other princes, so Huang Shang had a good impression of Tao Qian, but he was a little surprised that he did not accept surrender.

After that, he finally knew the cause and effect of the incident through the mobile phone query function, and while understanding Tao Qian's difficulties, he also wrote the Xuzhou Shi Group headed by Chen Deng into the book of life and death.

These people are dead.

In fact, there is a wealthy family in Xuzhou, that is, the Mi family, the head of the Mi family is Mi Zhu, the largest businessman in Xuzhou, with money in his hands, and some people, no one dares to mess with him in the local area, but with Mi Zhu's sister being elected to the palace and becoming the woman of the emperor of the Yellow Chamber, the Mi family tied the warship to the Yellow Chamber.

Now that Xuzhou is unwilling to accept the surrender of the Yellow Court, Mi Zhu and his younger brother Mi Fang have begun to ponder these days, how can they take Xuzhou down and dedicate it to their 'brother-in-law'?

Now Yanzhou and Qingzhou are Huang Shang's territory, and Xuzhou is too close to these two places, once Huang Shang wants to send troops to attack, the first to bear the brunt is Xuzhou, and once Xuzhou is defeated, their two 'useless brothers-in-law' are easy to leave a bad impression on Huang Shang.

Obviously, there are so many domestic slaves in his hands, and he obviously has so much money and food under his hands, but he doesn't help his brother-in-law to offer Xuzhou, but waits for his brother-in-law to send troops to fight.

When the time comes, they will be looked down upon, and what they are most afraid of is that their little sister will be implicated, and then they will be beaten into the cold palace and spend the rest of their lives miserably.

Whenever they think of this kind of ending, they can't eat, they can't sleep at night, and they always feel that if they don't earn some face for their sister, the two of them are too useless to be brothers.

What to do?
