Time is always short, all military and political affairs in Yangzhou will be handed over to Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Zhang Zhao to take care of, and Zhou Yu left a part of the suggestions for building Yangzhou before leaving. In ancient times, there were many people who hid in the mountains for several years in order to avoid the government's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but Zhou Yu's requirement was that as long as there were villages, the population must be registered. The second is that the defenders of each county and county are uniformly stationed by the guards appointed by Yangzhou, and the salaries, weapons, clothing, grain and grass, and city defense equipment are also uniformly distributed in Yangzhou City, and the regional military and political separation is implemented, and the county guards can directly report to the guards at the next higher level if they find some military information or unreasonable places. The local county guards and county officials have no right to command the generals defending the city, and Zhou Yu did this to a large extent to firmly control the military power in his hands, which greatly reduced the imagination of the Yellow Turban Army besieging the county guards and county officials taking the lead in abandoning the city and fleeing. There is also the regular return of each guard to Yangzhou City to report and study, Zhou Yu asked Cheng Yu to find some gentlemen to give them some simple words and military orders, and the most important thing is that he personally wrote a book "The Mission of Soldiers" to carry out regular ideological education for these guards and soldiers. In the past, the purpose of being a soldier was to earn a military merit or to eat a mouthful of food, there is a saying that a good man is not a soldier, he is not a soldier, he is not a nail, and he came to the army except for military service, and no ordinary people have a good life and cannot be a soldier. This time, Zhou Yu wants to make them realize why they want to be soldiers and why they want to be soldiers, in order to protect the territory and the people, so that their parents and children will not be bullied, and they will not flee from their hometowns. Only by letting the soldiers know these things will they practice wholeheartedly, and they will fight hard to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

Regarding the treatment of the army, Zhou Yu ordered that in the future, the common people who will serve in the military do not need to prepare any weapons or food by themselves, and once they are selected and admitted by the Yangzhou army, all of them will be borne by the army. The others who did not have the North Election were all incorporated into the Minfu team to serve, and the Yangzhou Army allocated them a certain amount of remuneration. In this way, ordinary people can not only serve willingly, but also earn some money for their families to supplement their families.

The next step is to encourage the common people to cultivate more, and the government will reduce taxes according to a certain percentage, so that Yangzhou is warm all year round, and even in the coldest season, crops such as rice can be grown. When Zhou Yu, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu considered letting Zhou Yu come to Yangzhou, it was to let him rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to temporarily avoid the disputes in the Central Plains, and concentrate on the development of strength and hoarding strength. Therefore, Yangzhou's third priority is to encourage agriculture, as long as there is food, there will be capital to compete for the world.

There is also the fact that he needs to take a trip to Ganning's water village to see what this kid has done in the past few days, and don't make another mess for himself. Whether he can enter the Central Plains in the future depends on whether Gan Ning's navy can dominate the entire Yangtze River Basin, as long as all the ships that do not belong to him Zhou Yu are taken. Now building a navy in advance is also a rainy day, so that you can walk in front of others step by step.

Not only that, Zhou Yu also ordered Zhang Shiping to rely on the cover of the Chinese Commercial Bank to recruit some skilled craftsmen to Yangzhou, Yangzhou is now reshuffling in his hands, and it is also the time when everything is in ruins, what carpenters, blacksmiths and other talents are very short, and he needs professional talents to operate to build weapons, warships, and armor. Anyway, Zhou Yu gave Zhang Shiping a death order, no matter what means he used, as long as he could get these people to Yangzhou, the premise was that he was not allowed to hurt people's lives. If a hateful craftsman gives his workmanship, it is likely that a small part can make the difference between winning or losing a war. Zhou Yu also considered whether to try to concoct gunpowder, and then thought about it, he would not come to the Three Kingdoms in order to make this society progress early, once gunpowder is widely used, the number of dead and injured is countless, gunpowder can only be used externally, and it must not be consumed in the civil war. Su Shuang is also a pillar of the Chinese Commercial Bank, he established a horse farm on the territory of Xiliang to breed some high-quality horses for sale, and now he deals with Dongzhuo in Xiliang at most, and now Dong Zhuo is very good at collecting money, and has always built the Flying Bear Army with his own hands, all of which are cavalry, and most of the horses are good horses from the Western Regions. Zhou Yu also secretly ordered Su Shuang to transport war horses to Yangzhou in batches, and he could also set up a horse farm in Yangzhou for breeding war horses, and he should pay close attention to Dong Zhuo's movements and send Dong Zhuo's news back to the shadow in time. Xiliang's horse farm can also gradually start to change hands, because he knows that as long as Dong Zhuo raises troops south, Su Shuang's horse farm will definitely become Dong Zhuo's bag, and it is better to evacuate in advance in order to avoid damage to his own people and horses. You only need to leave the normal trading house, and there is no need to leave the horse farm waiting for the enemy to worry about it.

The rest is the task of the shadow, Zhou Yu's shadow after a period of development, basically the framework structure of the shadow is divided according to the martial arts novels of the previous life, thirty-six Tiangang is thirty-six squads, each team is composed of twelve people, the daily task is to ensure Zhou Yu's safety, remove and monitor all unstable factors around Zhou Yu, but for some important people must be reported to deal with it. Seventy-two geocharists are seventy-two squads, and the establishment of each squad is seventy-two people, who are distributed in various states and counties of Dahan every day to lurk in different identities for spying and transmitting intelligence. There are two more mysterious teams in the shadows outside of this heavenly hell, both of which are relatively small in number. One is called a sharp sword, which is full of trained dead soldiers, who are transported to assassinate and hoe; The other one is called the Netherworld, and when you hear the name, you know that falling into their hands is like entering the ghost gate, and the three souls return to the underworld and scatter the Netherworld, and their main research is torture to extract confessions, and a group of cold-blooded animals who treat the whole person as art. This is also a bad taste of Zhou Yu to come up with such an organization, which is completely imitating the framework designed by the Jinyi Wei of the Lighting Dynasty. Now the leader Shi Ah is recruiting people for him non-stop anyway, as for what the shadow will develop into in the future, it depends on Zhou Yu's control, everything has his two sides, and he can hurt others as well as himself.

Huiji County has also been investigated, and Chen Bao, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, is also a relatively cerebral person, he led the Yellow Turban Army to find the water source outside the city of Huiji County, and built a high embankment to cut off the water source in Huiji County. In the end, the defenders of Huiji County held out for about ten days and then surrendered in Kaicheng, Chen Bao easily took Huiji County without losing a single soldier, and he sent men and horses to investigate the movements of the other three men and horses while integrating the army. How do you know that the Tanma who went to Wu County reported that Wu County still had the banner of the Han Dynasty floating there, and the 30,000 horses under the command of Qu Shuai Wu Huan were all wiped out, and an ominous premonition came to Chen Bao's heart, it seems that Chen Defeat and Wan Bing, who attacked Changsha, are also more auspicious, since they did not see the army of Yangzhou rushing to help, then the unlucky ones are naturally Chen Defeat Wan Bing.

After hearing that Chen Bao had conquered Huiji County, he swept away all the small counties around him, set up camp on a giant ape mountain leading to Yangzhou, and guarded the only way from Yangzhou to Huiji. Zhou Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Zhang Zhao decided that Guo Jia and Huang Zhong would go together to destroy Chen Bao, Huang Zhong was afraid that there would be a mistake if he went alone, and after all the arrangements were ready, Zhou Yu was ready to take Wu Huan, Chen Wei, Wan Bing, and Han Xuan's heads into Luoyang to present treasures to Liu Hong.
