Chapter 154: Getting Rich with a Silence
Zhao Kong didn't know what Cai Yong said, but he himself was also from a family, and he had been an official in the imperial court for many years, so he had no solution to similar things except to think about it.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Zhao Kong smiled and said:
"Liu Hong reigned for a day, and the Han could barely maintain it, even if the border was restless and there was internal turmoil, there would be no disintegration."
Cai Yong nodded subconsciously when he heard this, Liu Hong, who was transferred from the side branch to the successor to the unification, although he acted absurdly, he was not a person without means.
At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he first used the hands of eunuchs to clean up the Dou relatives, and then used the angry courtiers to kill the eunuchs, and then used the He family's relatives to balance the courtiers, and the ten permanent servants fought against He Jin's brothers and sisters.
Over the years, Liu Hong has quietly gathered the scattered power and barely controlled the situation.
If it weren't for his addiction to pleasure and greed for money and lust, he died of overindulgence in his thirties, maybe the big man would really have a little hope of resurrection in his hands.
"However, as long as Liu Hong is extravagant, his body can't last too long, and once he returns to heaven, there are two young princes left, what can he do to stabilize the world?"
"When the time comes, there will be countless people who cross states and counties, how many people will be called emperors and how many people will be kings? When the world is in turmoil, it is the time for Chen to return to the Central Plains with the army and compete for the world! ”
Zhao Kong confided in Cai Yong without care, now that the fleet is about to arrive at Taiwan Island, without his consent, Cai Yong will not be able to return to the Central Plains.
Rather than letting the other party think cranky, it is better to have a direct showdown.
Remember the URL
The identity is insufficient, the ambition is to make up, and Cai Yong's life and death are in his hands, the probability of choosing to compromise will not be small.
Sure enough, Cai Yong hesitated for a moment, then hesitated and said:
"It's nothing for Yong to live overseas temporarily, but my daughter Zhaoji is still in Wu County's Gu family, and Yong is really not at ease."
Cai Yong basically taught Gu Yong in Wu County for the past two years, so his daughter Cai Yan and Cai Zhaoji, who later became Cai Wenji, lived in Gu Yong's house with Cai Yong.
Although even if he disappeared suddenly, the Gu family would definitely not treat Cai Yan badly.
But when he thought of his daughter having to be sent to the fence for many years and miss him sadly, Cai Yong still felt that no matter what the environment was, he should take his daughter with him to take care of him.
"This is easy to do, I'll pick up Zhao Ji when I go back, but it's better for Mr. Bo Ji to write a letter, so as not to cause a misunderstanding in the Gu family."
Seeing that Cai Yong no longer objected to helping him teach students, Zhao Kong agreed without hesitation.
It's just a little girl, at most, he will run in person, and a family like the Gu family, which has been in decline for many years, will not be able to prevent Zhao Kong from sneaking in.
In particular, he has comprehended the Taiping Technique in the past few days, and has initially mastered the Wind Resistance Technique, which consumes a huge amount of money and is difficult for ordinary people to perform.
Although the speed of the shuttle is not as fast as the flight of the imperial sword, it can also fly three or four thousand miles a day, and picking up Cai Zhaoji will not delay much.
With Zhao Kong's promise, Cai Yong was also relieved.
After all, he was only helping Zhao Kong train some grassroots officials, not directly joining the Yellow Turban Army, and it was not too embarrassing to do so.
In the evening, the fleet finally arrived in the northwest of Taiwan Island, near the later Hsinchu City.
Although they are different worlds, the island of Taiwan in the Three Kingdoms World is not much different from the Condor World, but it is relatively more wild.
Although the topography of Taiwan Island is dominated by mountains and hills, the land in the western coastal area is quite fertile and can be easily developed, becoming a stable and efficient grain production area.
In particular, the vicinity of Hsinchu is very suitable for rice planting, and if it is combined with the "Shennong No. 1" rice with an astonishing yield, it is enough to feed more than 5 million people.
Ancient societies were based on agriculture, so Hsinchu and the nearby plains naturally became the most suitable place to take root.
At this time, Taiwan Island was still an undeveloped primitive area, but fortunately, there were no fierce beasts on the island, and snakes, insects, rats and ants were not as scary as Southeast Asia.
Moreover, the aura of the Three Kingdoms World is getting stronger and stronger, and the physique of ordinary people is far better than that of the Condor World, and their resistance to water and soil adaptation and miasma epidemics is much stronger.
Coupled with the many classic prescriptions that Zhao Kong bought at the beginning, the mortality rate of immigrants will definitely not exceed one in 1,000.
The vast majority of the people in this era have never read books, but they are experts in farming.
More than 20,000 people were originally driven onto the ship by the Yellow Turban Army, and they were still worried to death.
But at this moment, seeing such fertile land, and Zhao Kong promised each person a hundred acres of land, and he was instantly full of enthusiasm to build a new home.
Farming experts, infrastructure maniacs and the desire for land are almost engraved in the racial genes, and the transformation of Taiwan Island, which is not a bad environment, is really difficult for the people of this era.
Moreover, the land annexation in the late Han Dynasty was extremely serious, and most ordinary people were reduced to tenant farmers, and it seems that it is not unacceptable to regain their own fertile land at this moment, and to be far away from their hometown.
After three days of dealing with government affairs on Taiwan Island, Zhao Kong returned to Wuhu alone against the wind.
Cai Yong, who originally only planned to be a teacher, was forcibly taken out to deal with political affairs, and he was busy all day long.
In addition, some small officials who were forcibly sent in, and a thousand Yellow Turban soldiers who temporarily maintained order, barely stabilized the situation.
Passing through Wu County, Zhao Kong went to Gu's house on the way, left Cai Yong's letter, and quietly took away the little Lori Cai Yan.
Zhao Kong, who was originally afraid of trouble, was also ready to hypnotize Cai Yan and let her wake up when Cai Yong was around.
didn't want this little Lori to be unexpectedly quiet, Zhao Kong showed her Cai Yong's letter, and she obediently followed Zhao Kong and left the Gu family.
During this period, even if he flew in the air for a few hours, Cai Yan didn't bother Zhao Kong much, and just looked around with a mixture of excitement and fear.
Seeing that the little girl was so sensible, Zhao Kong didn't hypnotize her, and quickly flew towards Wuhu.
On the way, Zhao Kong checked Cai Yan's physique and found that her cultivation talent was quite good, especially her affinity with the life element was extremely high, which was very suitable for training as a wet nurse.
This discovery surprised Zhao Kong, there has never been a shortage of monks who can fight in the cultivation world, but there are very few who can become medical monks.
Of course, pills can be used to make up for this problem, but no matter how good the pills are, they are all resistant to medicine, and they are obviously not as reliable as medical monks.
However, it has not completely settled down yet, so it is naturally not a good time for the disciples.
In the evening, Zhao Kong returned to Wuhu and inquired about the situation in the past few days, and learned that as the Yellow Turban Rebellion intensified, the surrounding counties did not dare to send troops at all, so he was relieved.
However, the 60,000 or 70,000 people in Wuhu are simply not enough to farm and develop, and they must take advantage of the chaotic situation to continue to loot the population from various counties and counties.
For example, Chungu County, which is not far from Wuhu and is also along the Yangtze River, is a good target.
With a population of about 40,000, Chungu County is a small and medium-sized county, and it is not a strategic place, and the defenders in the city are not even a thousand people, so they can go down with one drum.
Counting the soldiers replenished from Wuhu during this time, the Yellow Turban Army under Zhao Kong was close to 20,000 people, and not counting the 5,000 baggage troops and 3,000 naval troops, there were also 11,000 soldiers who could fight.
However, in order to reduce the damage, Zhao Kong still chose to lead the army in person, led the 3,000 Yellow Turban Army to attack Spring Valley, and broke through the county seat of Spring Valley overnight.
After he broke open the city gate with his own hands, he took this small city in the south of the Yangtze River without any suspense.
The only thing that Zhao Kong expected was that the commander of Chungu County was fierce, and he actually set himself on fire when the city was broken, causing the entire county government to be burned to a white ground.
However, although the county order was strong, the families in the city were very knowledgeable, and after offering a lot of money and food, Zhao Kong did not embarrass them again.
After all, the county order is dead, and if you want to stabilize the situation, you also need the assistance of the family, and with the help of these local snakes, the efficiency of relocating the people will definitely be improved a lot.
During this period, the wealthy family of Chungu County heard that Zhao Kong was going to move the people overseas, so they actually took the initiative to let the children of the clan join Zhao Kong.
Although they are not descendants of each family, there are many practical people, which makes Zhao Kong quite happy.
For the thoughts of these small families, Zhao Kong can also guess some.
It is nothing more than seeing that the situation in the world is becoming more and more chaotic, and I am worried that the strength of the family is not enough and it will be destroyed in the war.
So take this opportunity to send some children overseas, and in some extreme cases, continue the family's bloodline.
"Although I don't have any great talents, I am now worthy of these people, how can real talents be so easy to recruit."
Zhao Kong saw the children of the family who had taken refuge in him, and couldn't help laughing at himself.
In addition to this group of talents, when he learned that Zhao Kong wanted to form a water army, several local snakes also gave him a surprise and persuaded a group of river bandits near Chungu County to take refuge in Zhao Kong.
Although the number of this gang of river bandits is not large, and the boats are also broken, more than 200 people are veterans on the water, and they are qualified sailors after training.
Originally, these wild and untamable guys were not too convinced by Zhao Kong, but he carried a wooden knife, and after all of them were cut to the ground in a moment, he instantly respected Zhao Kong like a god.
It is useless to reason with these people, only absolute force to suppress them can make them happy and convinced.
This is also why Lu Bu is notorious and has become a lost dog many times, but there are still many people who follow him loyally.
"Zhu Huan, among the water bandits you are familiar with, are there any people named Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai?" Zhao Kong looked at the bearded man in front of him and asked him carefully.
"I haven't heard of it, is it begging for a living in Wu County or Jingzhou?"
This strong man named Zhu Huan is the leader of the Jiang bandits who took refuge in Zhao Kong, and after being beaten violently, he is now respectful and afraid of Zhao Kong, so he naturally does not dare to talk nonsense.
Zhao Kong squinted his eyes and recalled, and suddenly understood that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin at this time should still be hairy boys.
Even if they have become Jiang bandits, it is estimated that they have not yet made their own name, and it is indeed a bit suspicious to find them for a sword.
Jinfan Ganning is the same, it is estimated that he is still a bad boy in Shu County at this time, and he will not pull out his banner until at least four or five years, even if he finds it now, it is meaningless.
"Forget if you don't know each other, you have recently contacted more water bandits you know, and those who are willing to come to Benqu Shuai, there will be no shortage of gold, silver, treasure, glory and wealth."
"Ben Qu Shuai wants to build a large-scale naval army, as long as the person who can operate the ship and helm, no matter how many comes, I want it!"
After a moment of silence, Zhao Kong said to Zhu Huan. Although he also knew that the water bandits were not easy to discipline, it would take too much time and energy for a water army to train from scratch.
The three thousand Yellow Turban Army sent to the ship are estimated to be difficult to become big in two or three years, and Zhao Kong can't wait that long, so he can only use these water bandits to make do with it first.
"Although Qu Shuai can rest assured, the business on the water has become more and more difficult to do in recent years, and many people have been forced to go ashore, as long as Qu Shuai can give the normal county soldiers' food and salary, at most one month, Lao Zhu can call four or five thousand people to you."
Zhao Kong smiled and nodded, and asked Zhu Huan to go to the treasury to collect gold and silver to recruit people, as for whether the other party would be a part of it in private, Zhao Kong didn't care at all.
As long as he can bring enough people to build the water army, all the silver harvested in Chungu County will be a trivial matter for him.
With Zhao Kong connecting the two counties, the territory of Danyang is now rumored.
Coupled with the three-way army sent by Luoyang, Zhu Jun was defeated by Bocai, Huangfu Song was besieged by Changshe, and Lu Zhi also made difficult progress in the confrontation with Zhang Jiao in Hebei.
The divine envoy Zhang Mancheng killed the county guard Chu Gong in Nanyang, the Runan Yellow Turban defeated the Taishou Zhao Qian, and the Guangyang Yellow Turban killed the Youzhou assassin Guo Xun......
During this time, the brilliant achievements of the Yellow Turban Army brought a lot of convenience to Zhao Kong, and now the Danyang County Guard does not dare to send troops to support various places.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Kong attacked the northern counties of Danyang one after another before July.
In more than two months, Zhao Kong cooperated with various county families and used hundreds of large sand boats to migrate more than 300,000 people to Taiwan Island, almost collecting the population in the northern part of Danyang.
The reason why the Danyang family cooperated with Zhao Kong so much was because these people were moved, and their fields naturally became ownerless.
And the archives in the county government were either burned or taken away by Zhao Kong, and it was easy for these local snakes to forge a new copy.
Although he offered a lot of silver to Zhao Kong during this period, he obtained several times the number of acres.
So they can't wait to send all the people away to Zhao Kong, as long as they have good land in hand, they can recruit as many tenant farmers as they go north and turn around!
And Zhao Kong also knew that the Yellow Turban Army couldn't become a big weapon at all, so he only made trouble in Danyang County.
In the eyes of the hundreds of officials in Luoyang and the various conquest armies, Chen Defeat's yellow scarf was just a disease of scabies, so before Zhang Jiao was exterminated, he would not disperse his forces to deal with him at all, and Zhao Kong was also happy to make a fortune.
It was not until mid-July, when the decline of the Yellow Turban Army became more and more prominent, that Zhao Kong went up the river and entered the territory of Yuzhang County.
The 10,000 well-equipped Yellow Turban Army, under the leadership of Zhao Kong, took Pengze, a large county in Yuzhang, in less than half a day.
In the following half a month, 120,000 people were sent to Taiwan Island by the fleet.
By the time the imperial army arrived at Pengze, there were less than 20,000 people left in this rare Shangxian county in the south of the Yangtze River!
Except for a few civilians who escaped early and hid in the mountains, the others were all people from major families in the county.
Through the matchmaking of the Danyang family, these wealthy families of Pengze have done things even better!
After the county seat was breached, these people pretended to be forced to be helpless, but they led the Yellow Turban Army to sift through the ten miles and eight towns.
In the face of sharp steel knives, few local people dared to resist.
Basically, under the persuasion of the people of the family, they packed up their belongings and honestly got on the boat to migrate.
