"Cao Wei, a bastard, actually looted Lao Tzu's city gate fee while building a port, and even the merchants in Youzhou took it away!"

Zhang Song naturally became the assassin of Jizhou, and was mainly responsible for the restoration of Jizhou.

To be honest, Zhang Song naturally knew that there were many more problems in the Jizhou region than in Youzhou.

The most important problem is the rout, which has led to a significant deterioration in the environment and security in Youzhou.

Wang Jun defeated Liu Tai with his own army and captured about 30,000 defeated soldiers, but the defeated soldiers fled to Liu Kun with Qi Hong, but more were scattered in groups in the counties and counties north of Jizhou.

Some of them fell into the grass, some fled to the mountains and forests, and some fled back to their homes in Youzhou desperately.

Therefore, this large area south of Jizhou City and north of Nanpi City is inhabited by routs.

Some of the routs even converged into thieves, and it was very troublesome for Liu Tai to deal with them with the help of the terrain.

Compared with Liu Tai's treatment of Wang Jun, it can be described as clean and neat, but against these defeated soldiers, they can only grind slowly.

It is necessary to let the soldiers go to the dens everywhere to clear them, and there is no other way.

This is also where Zhang Song feels a headache.

The three counties in the south of Jizhou are good to say, they are basically stable, but in the two counties in the north of Jizhou, there are really many routs.

The only thing to be thankful for is that because of Liu Tai's government military policy, these grassroots people are quite supportive of Liu Tai's army.

This made Zhang Song breathe a sigh of relief and avoided the merging of the people and the rout.

It is expected that by the end of this year, the two generals Xu Miao and Gao Liang should be able to clear out these deserters, and the trade routes on the Jizhou side will be restored to smoothness.

Zhang Song was a real businessman among Liu Tai's subordinates, and had purchased a large number of conscripts and women.

Therefore, Zhang Song knows that businessmen have quite serious path dependence, or channel dependence.

In this case, if they take a lot of sea lanes in Youzhou, there will be more and more cases of going directly to the Bohai Sea instead of taking the land route from Youzhou to Qingzhou in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Song understands that if this matter is not solved, then the prosperity of Jizhou will definitely drop by a notch in the future.

Of course, Zhang Song's consideration of this is naturally reasonable, after all, the advantage of waterways over land routes can be calculated clearly as long as they are calculated slightly.

Not to mention, the more productive the times, the richer the returns of water transport become.

On the contrary, when the productivity comes up, what trains, bullet trains, airplanes and other means of transportation appear, although shipping is still the largest cargo transportation system, but other shares are inevitably divided by other means of transportation.

"What are you thinking about, so obsessed?" Wang Sang came to the Internal Affairs Hall in armor, but saw Zhang Song in a daze at this time, and couldn't help but ask.

Wang Sang is the defense of Jizhou, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, especially now that he is responsible for defending against the possible sudden outbreak of Shile on the one hand, and Wang Jun's rout in the Jizhou region on the other.

"I've seen Wang Duhu!" Zhang Song saluted Wang Sang, relatively speaking, both of them were Wang Mi's widows.

Although the two sides did not communicate much at first, because they had the same position under Liu Tai, the two sides naturally got closer.

And now the two sides are responsible for stationing in Youzhou together, and the relationship between the two sides is naturally better.

"Because we have a large number of routs in Jizhou, the north-south trade route has been blocked, which has forced some of the merchants to go directly to Qingzhou through the ship, so we have lost a lot of city gate expenses!" Zhang Song couldn't help but say.

Of course, because he has more or less run commercial affairs, Zhang Song more or less vaguely feels that the merchants bring more than just city gate taxes, or make white gloves for the family.

But what kind of specific role does the businessman have, Zhang Song's insight can't be imagined.

Only relying on his familiarity with businessmen, he felt that businessmen were very important, at least he couldn't let Cao Wei's puppet swallow all the benefits of businessmen.

"I said what are you thinking, you're angry with me! I don't have Han Xin's ability, and everywhere I pass, whether it is a rout or a militia, all of them are rolled up to become my own soldiers, I'm really sorry for you! Wang Sang couldn't help but mock.

"That's right! It's your old horseman, even if you don't have the ability of a soldier, how can you have the strength of Wang Qian! Zhang Song couldn't help but say, "In this way, we can also clean up these routs!" ”

"I still want to report to you that I have captured another 8,000 captives to make you happy, but now it seems that there is no need!"

Wang Sang said that he took out a battle report from his hand, put it in his hand and shook it.

"You have to get it!" Zhang Song's hungry wolf snatched this battle report from Wang Jun's hands, and then looked at the eight thousand more people, his face was smiling, and said, "This battle report is good, there are eight thousand more people!" ”

Wang Sang looked at Zhang Song's unproductive appearance, but he was glad in his heart, fortunately, he had already gone through the hands, and selected two thousand guys with good physique from them to enter the prisoner camp for transformation.

To tell the truth, as the welfare of the soldier can get the military field has become a well-known news, even if the condition that the pre-emptive must start a family, it has become the advantage of a single soldier.

Now there is no need for Liu Tai to let Zhang Song buy women, basically the local people are eager to stuff women directly to these soldiers, at least in this era, where to find such a good single Wang Lao Wu.

In this case, it would not be so easy for the non-commissioned officer of the prisoner camp to become Liu Tai's subordinate as soon as he turned around.

To a certain extent, in wartime, it is better to say, in the prisoner camp, while reforming, training at the same time.

But after the war, especially in front of this kind of battle with the defeated soldiers, if the defeated soldiers are captured, they will be selected to a certain extent, at least the physique is not excellent to a certain extent, and it is not a dream to enter the prisoner camp to change their fate.

Therefore, Wang Sang's people to Zhang Song have passed once, and of course, this kind of thing has gradually become the unspoken rule of the entire army.

Zhang Song doesn't care, he hasn't governed a state or county before, Zhang Song doesn't feel anything, but now there is really a state handed over to Zhang Song to manage, Zhang Song found that the land in Jizhou is really vast and sparsely populated.

Because of the years of war, even now because it is in a state of confrontation with Shile, it is impossible to put all of it into development.

In such a situation, Zhang Song found that there was a shortage of people wherever he wanted to develop Jizhou.

Wang Sang gave himself 8,000 people, no matter where they would flow in the future, they were all valuable resources for Zhang Song.

Wang Sang looked at Zhang Song's dog face changing so quickly, but he didn't pursue anything, only mentioned:

"You go and ask Qingzhou, hasn't the new armor of our army been issued yet?

Some armor has already been mended and mended? That's the main thing I've come to you for this time! ”

Zhang Song couldn't help but be in awe when he heard Wang Sang's words, and said with a serious face: "I know, I will ask Chu Yi, leather armor is indispensable to you!" ”

The vast majority of Liu Tai's army was leather armor, but the leather armor under Wang Sang's command was relatively more worn.

In addition, they are responsible for clearing out the rout, so they need the protection of armor.

Although it is not very common for leather armor to change its outfit, it is not uncommon for a piece of leather armor to be passed down for a lifetime in the hands of a soldier.

But the problem is that he and the others have just experienced a victory with Wang Jun, and the damage to the leather armor is a bit unexpected.

Not to mention that it is necessary to clear the rout in such a state, so the damage caused by insufficient armor defense is also common.

Don't say it, as long as the puncture is made, and then a little tetanus appears, the whole life may be gone.

After all, TCM is effective in regulating such diseases, but it can only have a limited effect on inflammation such as fever!

Zhang Song promised Wang Sang, but he had a headache for Cao Wei, an inauthentic guy.

However, Zhang Song took a deep breath and came up with a way that was not a solution, that is, to build a port himself!

If you can't beat it, then join, it's not a shame!

Zhang Song also understood that Wang Sang's soldiers actually needed to urge him to change their armor, which showed that these Wang Jun's soldiers were actually not very easy to deal with in terms of scattered individuals.

In this case, it also shows that if you want to quell the rout in the north of Jizhou, it will take half a year to say the least.

Thinking that when the winter snow arrives, then the problem of the rout can be completely solved, and before that, that is, within this year, he must find a way to keep the merchants.

The so-called stay is naturally not to force the merchants to stay, but to let these businessmen need to pass through Jizhou, so that this Jizhou channel will still stay.

Wait until the defeat of Jizhou is pacified, then this trade route can be reopened, thinking of this, Zhang Song scratched his head, and made such a plan for the time being.

Just when Zhang Song was scratching his head, Liu Tai was also in Youzhou and finally waited for Xi Jian's report.

Xijian said to Liu Tai: "Qiyu County Prince, according to what the County Princess, in the hilly and mountainous areas southeast of Youzhou City, the exploration has indeed found a large area of open-pit coal mines, which is quite convenient for our army's mining work!" ”

"If you find the coal, then this project will be delivered to you!"

Liu Tai was relieved when he heard Xi Jian's words, and then said,

"You first build the framework of this coal division, or you can try to mine, after I return to Qingzhou, I will ask Xie Fei to dispatch talents related to coal to mine these coals with you.

Next winter, whether we can have a good year in the three states of Youji and Qingzhou will depend on you! ”

"Obey the order of the county lord!" When Xi Jian heard Liu Tai's words, he replied to Liu Tai quite excitedly.

Liu Tai nodded, as the winter gets colder and colder, Xi Jian's coal division will become more and more important.

The coal excavated here needs to be sent to thousands of households, at least to minimize the probability of people freezing to death in winter.

When he was in Qingzhou, he promoted the ondol and even made honeycomb coal for the ondol to be incinerate.

But in practice, the effect of Fenghuo coal in maintaining the fire kang is not as good as the firewood accumulated by the people themselves in the autumn.

Of course, the most important thing is that the firewood collected by the people themselves is free in the eyes of the people, but the honeycomb coal is paid for.

For this, Liu Tai also knew that he had made some trial mistakes, even so, Liu Tai still chose to promote honeycomb coal instead of firewood.

The reason is very simple, what I hope is to promote the industrial revolution, and the efficiency of coal utilization must be improved.

No matter how good ordinary wood is, it can have a thousand degrees of calcination, thank God, not to mention firewood, a fuel that at least for people, the production cycle is a little too long.

However, the production cycle of coal is long, but now it is ready-made, and it is more advanced than firewood for Liu Tai anyway.

Strictly speaking, firewood is a representative of the feudal era, but if coal can be used for production, it means that one foot has stepped into industrial civilization.

Liu Tai knew that the increasingly harsh climate of the Xiaoice River had contributed to his determination to develop the Tangshan coal mine.

After all, I haven't found cotton at all now, so it is inevitable to let the people replenish their body heat by heating fuel.

When Xi Jian develops this coal mine, he will be able to implement large baths in these states.

After all, as far as the temperature of the Xiaoice period is concerned, the temperature in these three states now will definitely not be higher than the northeast in the 21st century!

In any case, after Xi Jian successfully confirmed that there was a mine in the area where Tangshan was located, Liu Tai breathed a sigh of relief, and said hello to Zhao An, asking Zhao An to throw the captured soldiers to Xi Jian to mine, and then took a boat back to Qingzhou.

And the one who greeted him early in Linzi County was Chu Yu, who was a part-time Qingzhou assassin.

"It's hard work!" Liu Tai looked at Chu Yi and said, "I've been staying in Youzhou these days, I'm afraid that I've accumulated a lot of affairs, so I'll go back and deal with these things with everyone."

Chu Yi looked at Liu Tai's attitude, but sighed slightly, it seems that today is another day of overtime.

However, facing Liu Tai with a thousand words, Chu Yi could only say, "The county prince is here, please!" ”

Soon, Liu Tai returned to the Department of Internal Affairs and immediately began to deal with the mountain of copywriting.

I don't know how long it took, Liu Tai stretched his waist, and in the end he handled the affairs for seven or eight points.

At this time, Chu Yu looked at the sky that had darkened and said, "County Lord, will the remaining documents be done tomorrow, or will you work overtime today to complete them?" ”

"Government affairs can't be handled, let's deal with it tomorrow, and go back to their respective homes after eating here!" Liu Tai waved his hand.

Hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone didn't say much, but Chu Yu looked at Liu Tai and said,

"According to the general's policy, we should have to recuperate in the next few years!"

"yes. Any questions? Liu Tai heard Chu Mi's words, but couldn't help but look at Chu Mi suspiciously.

"Mrs. Wang's three-year filial piety period is coming, and please don't ignore this matter!" Chu Yu said very solemnly.
