Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 408 Yamagoshi
"In addition, during the reclamation process, the trees felled from the mountains and forests will be transported to Xiapi in batches. General Xu said before that the state animal husbandry wants to build a navy, and the shipbuilding department in the eastern port needs a lot of wood. "

"Secondly, a lot of wood is needed for the residential buildings of the newcomers in the city and the military camps outside the city."

"The remaining part, half of it will be traded by the Pengcheng government office at the original price with the caravans of the Mi family, the Wang family, etc., for transportation and trade with other states, to increase income, in exchange for money, or what I lack in Xuzhou, Prioritize medicinal materials, horses, and food."

So far, Wang Zheng was quite satisfied with Zhao Hong's performance. He nodded and asked, "Set fire to the mountains and cut trees to grow fields. Is it necessary to have a lot of people?"

Zhao Hong was waiting for Wang Zheng to ask. This is his most proud achievement since he was in power for more than half a year, and it is also one of the few moves that singles out Zhang Zhao's previous political scope.

Although there was an official document submitted to the Wang Zheng during the planning, how can it be compared to a face-to-face report by someone else?
What's more, it can be regarded as consummation of merit and virtue now.

Although he was triumphant in his heart, on the surface Zhao Hong pretended to be modest and said: "A total of 240 people were used before and after the land reclamation. Hey, it's actually not too many."

"A small half of them recruited Pengcheng's garrison army, and the other half were recruited refugees from various places and the Shanyue tribe in nearby Pengcheng."

"Following the Lord's June [-]th standard, all the fields reclaimed by the refugees, six points belong to themselves, and four points belong to the government. Before the ministers set off, they have generally been divided. In addition."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Zheng cut it off directly: "Shanyue? It seems that this matter was not mentioned in the previous document?"

He looked at Zhao Hong in surprise: "Pengcheng also has Shanyue tribe?"

Wang Zheng knew Shanyue, a term that existed since the Qin Dynasty. It is generally believed that they are the descendants of the ancient Yue people. They are distributed in the southeast mountainous area from the Yangtze River Valley to the Pearl River Valley.

In the original history, Soochow, among the Three Kingdoms, took the initiative to conquer Shanyue, and even put aside the two battles that determined the direction of the world, the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Yiling, the entire Sun Quan era, except for the battle with Huang Zu In the fight against consumption, and the sending of heads under the city of Hefei in the later period, a lot of manpower and material resources were used to conquer Shanyue.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Zhao Hong seemed more surprised than him: "Zhou Mu, the Hanyue branch of Pengcheng has a long history, why do you have such doubts?"

Hanyue, one of the tribes of the Baiyue branch, first settled between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River, and was divided into three branches, one of which was located between the mountains of Xuzhou and Yangzhou. However, due to the relatively small power of the Pengcheng branch, So at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was relatively peaceful, but it was not as famous as Hanyue in Yangzhou, and Ganyue and Yuyue.

Wang Zheng was taken aback, only then did he realize that his family seemed to be making a common-sense joke, coughed dryly, and quickly changed the subject: "Zhao Hong, you just said that most of them are refugees and Shanyue, what is the majority?"

"Report to Zhou Mu." Zhao Hong recalled, and replied: "Among the more than [-] people, about [-] are the latter."

"Among them, more than [-] people are refugees, and the rest are Shanyue."

That's less than five thousand
There are only so few people.

Hearing this number, Wang Zheng lost interest again. In Xuzhou, Pengcheng has a particularly mountainous terrain. Looking at Pengcheng alone, it seems that the mountains have contributed more than the refugees, but looking at the whole state, it is more valuable and potential to return the former.

Pengcheng is the gateway to the west of Xuzhou. Yuzhou and Yanzhou have not been peaceful in the past few years. Most of them come from these two places. If they come here around the end of the year and can survive the severe cold and travel long distances, they are probably young and strong, and there is little delay. That is to say, in the past few months alone, there have been more than 3000 adult laborers in Pengcheng. If people in this era leave their homes, they are mostly forced to do so. Once the land is distributed, they can settle down. .

These people can work in agriculture at ordinary times, and they can also be called at critical moments. There are about [-] ready-made soldiers. It's close to a hundred. Even if there are hundreds of young people in one place, the total number is not small.

And from the perspective of Wang Zheng, a time traveler, there will only be more and more refugees in the next few years, and this aspect is not a problem at all.

Of course, the premise is to let Xuzhou maintain an image of living and working in peace and contentment!

It is even more necessary to take the initiative to "advertise" to absorb.

In a word, it is to attack from all sides, either openly or secretly, with two prongs, using the "safety" that is the most attractive to these people who have left their homes, like a sponge absorbing water, and the next Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and even Qingzhou near Xuzhou. , and farther away in Sili, Kanto and other places
All the homeless refugees who have no land, no sense of security, and even those hired farmers and tenants from aristocratic families and wealthy families, all are attracted here!
Come to enrich Xuzhou's manpower and strengthen his royal power!
"not bad."

Looking at it now, Zhao Hong, the successor, is doing well, which makes Wang Zheng secretly satisfied, and even his tone is a bit gentle: "In ten months, Xu Fang should return to Pengcheng, and you should cooperate well by then."

Hearing these words, Zhao Hong's heart that had been kept in the air finally let go. Since Wang Zheng said this, it meant that he had passed the test this time, and while he was drinking tea, he hurriedly wiped off his sweat secretly.

But Zhou Mu didn't ask me how I persuaded Shanyue to vote, which is a pity.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hong smacked his mouth, looked at Wang Zheng, hesitated and started to find something to say: "General Xu will be back in ten months, Zhou Mu, isn't Beihai still fighting?"

"Could it be completely calmed down so soon?"

This is of course impossible.

The two counties of Beihai and Donglai are too big together, and unlike Xuzhou, there are many mountains and rivers in the area, and the local aristocratic families all regard Wang Zheng as a bandit, and the Tianjun has to allocate part of its attention to guard against the neighboring ones. Linzi Yuan Tan, it took a lot of effort and energy.

According to the discussions between Wang Zheng, Guo Jia and others, it would probably take at least midsummer time to completely wipe out the remaining forces in Beihai, which took nearly a month and a half longer than Yuan Tan in the original history.

However, within half a month, the three groups of troops should be able to converge in one place, and there should be no problem in eliminating Wu Anguo, the largest remnant force in the North Sea.

According to Wang Zheng's idea, Xu Fang and Wu Sheng should be allowed to come back at that time, leaving Yujin to guard Pingshou, and Zang Ba can just sweep the four directions.

However, there is no need for Zhao Hong to explain such important military matters in detail, so upon hearing this, Wang Zheng just smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this issue, the Beihai war will stop soon."

"Yes, the prestige of the state herdsmen is invincible, and Beihai should have been captured without a fight. It is really stupid to resist the might of the sky like this!"

Wang Zheng looked at him with a half-smile, and couldn't help laughing.

Speaking of the current civil servants in my family, no matter Ni Heng, Zhang Zhao or Guo Jia, although they come from different backgrounds and temperaments, none of them love to flatter.
Not necessarily, in fact, both Guo Jia and Zhang Zhao can speak well, but their speech skills are relatively high, and their diction is even more elegant.

In contrast, Zhao Hong's flattery never forgets to say something, and he is very straightforward without saying anything.

He would have ignored it, but Zhao Hong was not the only one summoned today, if he was allowed to go on like this, it would be too much time to talk about serious matters, so he smiled and said: "Zhao Hong, you have been working hard in Pengcheng for a while. Yes, this general has always been clear about rewards and punishments when he governs the army, and governance is no exception."

"Those who have made meritorious service, since they see it in their eyes, they will remember it in their hearts, even if they don't say a word, those who deserve it will definitely be rewarded, haha."

This is a subtle tap of Zhao Hong, implying that there is no need to be so flattering.

Zhao Hongdao: "The minister's words come from the bottom of his heart. Zhou Mu is wise and powerful, and the ancient Yao and Shun are no different. If it is said that it is a fault in front of the lord, the minister can only be willing to be punished."

Hearing this, Wang Zheng was stunned for a while, then burst out laughing for a while, pointing at Zhao Hong, intending to tease him, but after thinking about it, his expression changed: "Zhao Hong, you are an interesting person, and you are even more clever." man."

But at this time, Wang Zheng thought of his own past life. At that time, when he was in the workplace and had not been promoted for many years, he also thought about getting promoted by flattering his boss. In the end, he occasionally flattered him, and his boss was like Wang Zheng now. A similar answer made him blush, and he stopped going any further.

As of now, this is actually wrong.

The boss said that he doesn't like other people flattering and sycophating, and you are so embarrassing. Isn't it true that the previous actions were true, and what he said was even more against his will?

This is really the next best thing to do.

On the contrary, Zhao Hong's response is actually the best.

Whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believe it first!At least there is no responsibility for lying, right?

With Zhao Hong's modesty on his face, Wang Zheng turned back to the topic: "Now that you are the Prime Minister of Pengcheng, the Sima Mansion plans to arrange someone to be your assistant. You need to be familiar with the local conditions and have some local prestige. , but still have the ability to handle affairs, Zhao Hong, who do you think is more suitable?"

"Are you looking for it among the officials in Pengcheng, or are they sent here?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hong's eyes showed a gleam of joy.

Who does this adjutant belong to? Although the prime minister should have the right to make suggestions, if Wang Zheng feels that his "interim representative" cannot be removed, he may not ask his opinion.

Now it seems that it is hopeful to turn positive.

After Xin Ran, Zhao Hong did not answer immediately, but pondered.

This is a good opportunity to be a human being. Compared with other ordinary counties, the official offices in Pengcheng will definitely receive more attention from Wang Zheng. Officials be quick.

After a while, he said: "Zhou Mu, Guo Yi, the head of Pengcheng Prime Minister Yongcang, is loyal and reliable, and has an official status. Although he is not a native of Pengcheng, he has moved here for a long time. The daughter of the middle school has become a wife, and she has some reputation in the local area, which seems to be acceptable."

"Guo Yi?" Wang Zheng was somewhat impressed by the name, wasn't it the middle-aged man who offered Guo Ying at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Wang Zheng's heart moved. It seemed that this person had said at the beginning that his ancestors were originally from Yingchuan Yangzhai, and they only immigrated here since that generation.

Reminiscent of when Guo Jia was imprisoned, Guo Ying, who was arranged to dress up, was more commensurate with his brothers and sisters. Although Guo Jia never mentioned it, Wang Zheng secretly remembered it.

"Since you think it's suitable, let him take over." Wang Zheng nodded, and then added: "After going back, let's find out if this person still has contact with the Yingchuan Guo family."

"Here."

Seeing that Wang Zheng picked up the teacup and seemed to have the intention of seeing off the guests, Zhao Hong couldn't help but said: "By the way, my lord, the leader of Pengcheng Shanyue is named Dai Zhang, and this time there is also a letter of trust sent for my minister."

"Oh?"

Wang Zheng was stunned, took a look at the letter, but saw that it was full of praises, and that Dai Zhang didn't know where he learned it, and he began to call "Master" one by one.

Looking at Zhao Hong again, seeing his expression of begging for help, he immediately understood: "It seems that you have recovered these mountain people?"

"See you, Zhou Muming." Zhao Hong quickly continued: "There are currently three Shanyue branches in Pengcheng, and this Dai Zhang is the leader of the largest branch. There are more than 8000 people in the tribe, including more than [-] young and strong. .”

"Although there are not many people, they are brave and good at fighting." Zhao Hongdao: "With Zhou Mu's great talent and general strategy, if he can meet this person in person and bestow kindness on him, he will definitely accept his heart. The two Yamakoshi came to work, this is a big force."

"That makes sense." Wang Zheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then next time you come to Xiapi, you can take this person with you."

"Here!"

Let's talk about it, it was almost noon, seeing Wang Zheng picked up the teacup again, Zhao Hong immediately realized the interest, got up quickly and was about to leave, just turned around and crossed the threshold, but saw Wang Zheng behind him suddenly called him again.

"Now that you are the Prime Minister of Pengcheng, besides the capital, you should also pay more attention to the surrounding counties."

"Where did the pastor talk about?"

When Zhao Hong turned his head, his face was full of confusion: "I'm stupid, I didn't understand it for a while."

"Where else can it be." Wang Zheng said indifferently: "Of course it is Wu County."

"what?"

Zhao Hongda was puzzled, because the news of Lu Qiling's entry into the Xiapi embassy had already spread widely, not only in Xiapi, but probably the whole of Xuzhou and even the Han Dynasty.

They are all allies, why should they pay attention to Lu Bu in Wu County?

"The state shepherd and Lu Bu have formed an alliance by marriage."

Because of his reckless background and his current martial spirit, he also has a good impression of Lu Bulian Zhao Hong, who is number one in the world, and he couldn't help asking: "The parachutist is a hero in the world, and there is no reason for him to change his mind. How can Zhou Mu?"

"Heh" Wang Zheng glanced at Zhao Hong lightly when he heard the words, but this question destroyed his previous good impression of him: "A hero?"

Liu Bei in history regarded Lu Bu as a hero. What happened?

A gentleman can bully him, but Wang Zheng is not a gentleman of integrity, he only knows that he must be on guard against others.

"Zhao Hong, you are a smart person, but you don't look like a scholar." He stood up, stared at Zhao Hong and said, "Zhang Zhao would never have such a question, let alone blurt it out."

Seeing that Zhao Hong was getting more and more confused, he didn't bother to explain. He just said: "Lv Fengxian is now the general's father-in-law. You can make decisions about the food, grass, cloth and other luggage. It's very convenient, but if it's horses and soldiers, you have to go slowly." Fang nodded in agreement, and the movement, increase or decrease of soldiers and horses in Wu County requires constant attention."

Zhao Hong didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he had to bow and promise, and then turned around and went out.
