was praised by Zhao Kong, Jia Xu was still indifferent, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Zhao Kong without saying a word.

After taking a sip of the remaining wine in the wine jar, Zhao Kong put away the smile on his face and said to Jia Xu seriously:

"Mr. Wenhe, Chen is half a martial artist and half a monk, and he even carries the name of a thief, so he has always disliked to talk in circles."

"This time, Chen came to the border of Liangzhou thousands of miles to ask Mr. Wenhe to help me, I don't know what Mr. thinks?"

A hint of discoloration flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and he smiled and said: "Martial artist, monk, anti-thief, these three identities are combined, Your Excellency should be a certain commander in the Yellow Turban Army." ”

Regarding Jia Xu's guess, Zhao Kong did not deny it, nodded and waited for the other party to continue.

"Qu Shuai, surnamed Chen in the Yellow Turban Army, seems to be only Chen of the Danyang Yellow Turban Army."

"It is said that this Chen Qushuai has a somewhat maverick style, and in just a few months, he has moved hundreds of thousands of people from Danyang County and Yuzhang County overseas, resulting in a sharp decline in the population of the two counties, but the imperial court is helpless."

Zhao Kong smiled and said: "It is estimated that the princes of the court and the central government have no less resentment towards Chen than General Tiangong, but the little naval army in the imperial court can't go to sea at all, and there is no other way than to scold a few words." ”

Jia Xu took a sip of wine and said softly:

"Now that Chen Qushuai has time to come to Liangzhou, he thinks that he has already settled those people properly, and he is located overseas without fear of the imperial court, and hundreds of thousands of people are enough to run rampant and claim hegemony, so why do you need to pull Jia to make up for it?"

Zhao Kong shook his head and said: "If Chen only wants to divide one side, he really doesn't need to work hard, the big island I found has a mild climate and fertile land, and it is not difficult to support the people." ”

Jia Xu nodded a little surprised, although he has the wisdom of chaotic countries, but he is limited by his vision, and the islands in his impression are all small and barren places, but he doesn't want to have such a rich island.

After taking a bite of pickled soybeans, Zhao Kong continued:

"Presumably, Mr. can also see that although the Yellow Turban Rebellion will be extinguished soon, the imperial court is already crumbling, and after this round of expansion of strength, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, it will immediately be a situation of competing for the deer."

Seeing that Jia Xu looked noncommittal, Zhao Kong understood that such persuasion was meaningless.

I saw him wave his right hand lightly, and a half-meter-high box suddenly appeared on the ground, which made Jia Xu's pupils, who were originally the old god rest, shrink suddenly, and his eyes when he looked at Zhao Kong changed again and again.

Jia Xu has also heard people talk about this kind of trick in his sleeve, but it is only the top power of Taoism, and Zhao Kong, who looks like a martial artist in front of him, actually has such Taoist attainments?

For other talents, Zhao Kong will not show his magic at will, so as not to arouse the disgust of the other party.

But Jia Xu, a person who has access to power and changes, in order to protect himself, does not hesitate to cause chaos in the world, Zhao Kong does not need to hide it at all.

The lid of the wooden box was lifted by Zhao Kong, revealing that it was full of gold bars, all of which were one catty, stacked neatly, and there were more than 3,000 in this box!

Even if the city is as deep as Jia Xu, when he suddenly saw so much gold, his heart couldn't help but beat a few times.

However, compared to the gold itself, what made him even more difficult to calm down was that he actually had such a high value in Zhao Kong's heart, which made Jia Xu, who was used to acting low-key, a little uneasy.

"Mr. Guoshi is unique, these gold are by no means a gift for hiring a great sage, just to show Chen's heart."

"If Mr. is willing to help, Chen is willing to give Mr. a rich offshore island, no matter how chaotic the Central Plains is, Mr. and future generations can rest easy!" Zhao Kong said to Jia Xu with a sincere face.

Although Jia Xu is not an indifferent hermit, he may not pay much attention to money and power, what he really cares about is the safety of himself and his family.

Zhao Kong's promise was poked into his heart, which made Jia Xu, who was originally uninterested, hesitate a little.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Kong took out a long knife, slammed it on the table, and said unceremoniously:

"If Mr. is unwilling to help, it is impossible for Mr. Chen to help the enemy in the future, rather than becoming a big trouble in the future, it is better to wipe it out in advance."

A hint of coldness flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and he said expressionlessly:

"Chen Qushuai is persecuted like this, aren't you afraid that after Jia surrenders, he will secretly wait for an opportunity to retaliate?"

Zhao Kong laughed when he heard this: "Mr. won't!" Mr. is a scholar from a poor family, Chen is a yellow turban thief, and it is difficult for you and me to enter the eyes of the family. ”

"Although there are many heroes in the world, except for Chen, no matter who Mr. is invested in, it is difficult for him to display his talents unscrupulously."

"And Chen believes in all kinds of great power to himself, even if he is secretly calculated by Mr. in the future, Chen can at least save his life, but Mr. has to face Chen's unscrupulous attack and killing, even if he is hidden in the army, Mr. has no way to live!"

In the end, Zhao Kong's tone became more and more excited, and the powerful aura of the True Domain Stage cultivator loomed, making it a little difficult for Jia Xu, who was sitting opposite him, to breathe.

After staring at Zhao Kong for a few seconds, Jia Xu suddenly laughed, got up and cleaned up, and slammed it to the ground:

"Hey, meet the lord!"

……

Half a month later, Zhao Kong was reading a book in the newly built City Lord's Mansion, and Cai Yong suddenly walked in with a sad face.

"City Lord, this has hired talents since ancient times, how can you tie people up like this? The six people you brought back, except for Jia Wenhe, only one Xun Youruo reluctantly came out to deal with government affairs, and the other four people all didn't say a word, and there was no room for relaxation! ”

Since the harvest of Shennong No. 1, Cai Yong has already recognized Zhao Kong, but he really can't put aside that old face and call the lord, so he changed his mouth to call Zhao Kong the city lord.

"Then continue to stay up, the island is now full of food, and it doesn't matter if you raise four more idlers, one day they figure it out or go crazy, they will naturally come out to work." Zhao Kong said indifferently.

This time, he went to the Central Plains for a turn, and looked for all the civil and military generals who were over 25 years old and suitable for the office.

But perhaps because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many people were not in their hometowns, and when asked where they went, their families couldn't say clearly, so Zhao Kong could only give up and continue to search.

But even so, in addition to Jia Xu, Zhao Kong still found five famous figures in history, namely Tian Feng, Xun Zhan, Cheng Yu, Yu Ban, and Gao Shun.

For these people, Zhao Kong also tried to communicate first, but unfortunately the other party had no interest in joining the Yellow Turban Army, and Yu Ban and Gao Shun even planned to take him down.

In the end, Zhao Kong had no choice but to stun these talents again and again, and they were all tied up and brought back to Taiwan Island to slowly boil the eagle.

So it was not surprising that these people resisted stubbornly, and even Xun Zhan was willing to come out to work so soon, which was already an unexpected joy.

"By the way, Xun Zhan, how did you convince you? I thought that this fourth son of the Yingchuan Xun clan was the most difficult one of them to deal with. Zhao Kong asked Cai Yong with some curiosity.

The family's discrimination against the Yellow Turban Army was deep-rooted, and the people of the Xun family were not in the plan, but in the end, too few people were caught, so Zhao Kong went to Yingchuan for a turn.

Cai Yong smiled a little smugly: "Although the Yingchuan Xun family is a famous family in the world, but now the situation in the Central Plains is becoming more and more turbulent, no one can say whether the Xun family can survive or not, Xun Youruo naturally wants to find a way back for the family." ”

"And although the city lord's background is a little worse, he now occupies Taiwan Island, and he has almost taken the geographical advantage to the extreme, and he is already invincible."

"I asked Xun Youruo to take Xun Youruo around Hsinchu again, he saw the fertile land of the surrounding plains, the support of the common people for the city lord, and the mountains of grain and grass in the warehouse, and he came out to run errands the next day."

Although Cai Yong stopped when he said this, Zhao Kong also understood Xun Zhan's thoughts.

This guy probably wants to migrate some of his clansmen to Taiwan Island to escape the war that may break out again in the future.

The huge damage caused by the Yellow Turban Rebellion really made these people of the family understand the horror of the war.

Zhao Kong is quite welcome to this, with Xun's family education and heritage, even if he moves a certain branch over, there are not a few people who can come out.

Even if these people do not have the ability to govern the country, they are still qualified to be county officials or even county commanders, and they can just fill the gap of grassroots officials on Taiwan Island.

Zhao Kong thought for a while, and then said to Cai Yong:

"Mr. Bo, Xun Youruo is estimated to be angry with me now, and I won't see him for the time being, everyone in the province will be embarrassed."

"You bring him a message for me. Taiwan Island welcomes the Xun clan to come and settle down, and I can also leave a big island for the Xun clan as the inheritance of their Xun family in the Ryukyu Islands that I have just taken. ”

"But all this can't be given out of thin air, apart from his great talent, what can the Xun family trade?"

Yesterday, the Japanese army sent back information that they had landed in the southern part of Kyushu Island.

The Ryukyu Islands, which passed through on the way, also left a small number of logistics personnel in accordance with Zhao Kong's instructions to explore the details of each island.

Although most of the islands that were discovered were small desert islands, there were also a few large islands that were almost the size of a county.

The island has abundant water sources, fertile land, beautiful environment, very suitable for human life and residence, and the location is between Taiwan Island and Dongying, and it is not too far from the Central Plains.

For the people of the family, this is simply the perfect back road for the family.

Although these places are still very remote, it is not difficult for a top wealthy family like the Xun family at all.

As long as seven or eight thousand young and strong homeless people are organized, coupled with two or three thousand domestic servants, it will not take a few years to initially develop the island and become a paradise that belongs to the Xun clan alone.

Sure enough, as soon as Cai Yong and Xun Zhan said this, the other party immediately couldn't sit still, didn't care about any face problems at all, and quickly rushed to the city lord's mansion and took the initiative to meet Zhao Kong.

"Youruo, I was rude that day, please forgive me!"

Zhao Kong still gave Xun Zhan a step down, after all, this person's ability and connections are worthy of his lowering of his attitude.

"The city lord said it, it's young and knowledgeable, I don't know that there is such a scenery overseas, I really underestimated the city lord that day, and please don't blame the city lord!"

Xun Zhan is not Xun Yu, and his ability to govern the country may not be as good as his younger brother, but he knows the way to advance and retreat, and now that he has a request for Zhao Kong, he will no longer be bored with it.

"Youruo, why are you in such a hurry to see me?"

Zhao Kong naturally knew what Xun Zhan was for, but it was rare to be able to knock on the bamboo pole of the Yingchuan Xun clan, if he didn't pull more talents, he was really sorry for his prophetic ability.

"City Lord, I wonder if Zhan can go to the Ryukyu Islands to have a look." Xun Zhan thought for a moment, and said the purpose directly, "If you don't see it with your own eyes, it will be difficult for Zhan and the clan to communicate, if it is really like what the city lord said, the clan will definitely be willing to pay the price that satisfies you." ”

Zhao Kong smiled and said: "The Ryukyu Islands are very close to Taiwan Island, and you can get there in a day, so of course there is no problem if you want to go." ”

"But after reading it, you have to make a decision quickly, after all, there are a lot of people under Chen's command, and maybe when those big islands will be divided."

The time he came to this world was too short, and if he wanted to cultivate talents by himself, he couldn't do it in a short period of time, and Zhao Kong, who was seriously short of people, had to force the Xun family.

Xun Zhan could hear the meaning of Zhao Kong's words, and said softly: "Don't worry, the city lord, as long as Zhan confirms that those islands are indeed suitable for habitation, he will immediately pass on the book to the clan and ask my father to send a group of people with experience in being officials." ”

Zhao Kong smiled and nodded, got up and sent Xun Zhan out of the gate.

Looking at the other party's distant back, Zhao Kong suddenly found that the Southern Song Dynasty also had the advantages of the Southern Song Dynasty, although the army had some pits, but there were really many civilian officials.

At the beginning, in the name of King Wu, he easily recruited thousands of scholars, among whom there were a large number of officials of the main battle faction with ruling experience, so he did not need to worry about official affairs at all.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, although the surrounding alien races were crippled, the number of scholars was too small, and almost all of them were from families.

Wanting to invite these people to become officials is really a very troublesome thing for Zhao Kong, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army!

Five days later, Xun Zhan, who was seasick all the way and turned pale, finally returned to Taiwan Island.

The three most habitable islands in the Ryukyu Islands, Xun Zhan simply turned around.

These three islands are quite good in Xun Zhan's opinion, and the land on the islands can also support 350,000 people, which is very suitable for avoiding the war in the Central Plains.

The only trouble is that once the migrants arrive on a certain island, their communication with the Central Plains in the future will be restricted by the Taiwan island, and it is very difficult to break this point.

These days, Xun Zhan communicated with the navy on the fleet, and found that the loyalty of the non-commissioned officers to Chen Yu was terrifying, and some of the Yellow Turban soldiers who followed him first even showed a fanatical belief.

It can be said that as long as Chen Cheng himself does not do stupid things, these soldiers have almost no possibility of being rebelled.

Yes, the son-in-law of a top family like Xun Zhan, and with extremely high resourcefulness, how could he surrender to Zhao Kong so easily?

Even after seeing the richness of Taiwan Island and the almost unbreakable geographical advantages, Xun Zhan faintly thought of occupying the magpie's nest in his heart.

This is also the reason why he suddenly compromised and was willing to come out to assist Cai Yong.

But now, with an in-depth understanding of the Yellow Turban Army on Taiwan Island, Xun Zhan hesitated a little.

The probability of success is too small, the cost of failure is too great, perhaps, it is also a good choice to take a step back.
