"Okay Yuan Hao, is there anything else?"

Just after he captured Jingzhou, Yuan Shu was left with a mountain of troubles. He had to capture Yizhou next year, and it would be even more troublesome to think about it.

Seeing Yuan Shu's anxious look, Tian Feng was also helpless. Who asked this guy to ask for it?

The other princes only had to worry about the army, money and food, and left the management of the people to the noble families.

But Yuan Shu himself had to control the overall situation. Road construction, water conservancy, shipbuilding, academies, etc. all had to be controlled by himself. The stalls were too big.

The power under his command is indeed developing rapidly, but the price is that Yuan Shu, Tian Feng and others are exhausted every day. Only the two clever people like Guo Jia and Xun You showed that they are not good at political affairs from the beginning, and they all go to mess around.

Strategy and intelligence organizations went.

And which of the other counselors is not wearing multiple hats, running around here and there? There are countless things waiting for them to deal with, and they have to be so busy that they are sleepy every day. Especially now that there is another Jingzhou, the workload is instantaneous.

The number has doubled. Tian Feng was recently forced to panic and dragged Fazheng over.

Faced with the arrangement made by his immediate boss and unscrupulous teacher, Fazheng knew it was a trap, but he couldn't refuse. What could Fazheng do? He was also helpless! He only felt that his life was gloomy.

Fazheng once aspired to be like Zhang Liang, a strategist who could strategize and win decisively from thousands of miles away. However, now he is buried in mountains of government affairs every day, and is forced to become the type of logistics manager Xiao He.

Fa Zheng was even more unhappy when he saw Guo Jia, who was carefree and carefree every day, wandering around and praising his development as offline, while he was busy as a dog.

But with a mountain like Tian Feng weighing on him, Fazheng didn't dare to do anything. Fortunately, Guo Jia didn't dare to trouble Fazheng. If Tian Feng, who was crazy about being busy, found out, it would be dark for at least half of the time to catch the strong man.

Months later, not even Yuan Shu could help him.

But in this way, Fazheng's internal affairs ability has improved a lot, and his character has become more calm. Maybe Tian Feng also saw that his apprentice had learned a lot from Guo Jia, so he trained him like this! Well, that's it

.

"Lord, it's not a bad thing this time, but a problem of road construction."

Yuan Shu frowned. After a year of crazy construction, the transportation in the north of Yangzhou has become quite convenient. The transportation in the two southern counties is barely enough. What other problems are there?

Tian Feng smiled and said: "The Yangzhou aristocratic families hope that the lord can open a separate road in Kuaiji, from Shanyin County, the seat of Kuaiji County, directly to Dongye County."

Yuan Shu asked curiously: "Oh? Dongye County, where is this?"

"The south of Kuaiji is across the sea from Yizhou."

When Tian Feng said this, Yuan Shu instantly understood the thoughts of the aristocratic families. If he took the waterway from Shanyin, the distance would be too far, and it would easily cause diseases on board the people. If he took the waterway from Shanyin County, he could save several times the time and money.

risk.

This group of goods was delivered to your door by yourself to be slaughtered by yourself!

Yuan Shu said with a smile: "Since the aristocratic families have made a request, we naturally have to consider it. However, the distance of this road is too long and the cost is too high! The General's Mansion has been poor recently, and there is not so much money in the plan for road construction.

ah!"

Tian Feng also smiled softly. Yuan Shu was telling lies with open eyes. He obviously wanted the aristocratic family to help him work in vain. Even if Yuan Shu built this road himself, he would not suffer any loss. After all, Kuaiji was also to be developed in Yuan Shu's plan.

With Yizhou here, the aristocratic families will definitely take the initiative to help Yuan Shu develop the southern part of Kuaiji County. Otherwise, with the level of navigation at this time, their development in Yizhou will be greatly restricted.

After all, the whole of Kuaiji is so backward! In such a large place, most of the fifteen counties are concentrated in a small corner in the upper right corner near Wu County, which is now Shaoxing.

More than 95% of the remaining places are deserted, and there are four counties in total. These places are not unsuitable for people to live, they just don't have that large population.

Tian Feng understood: "My lord is right. This road is too long and difficult. We simply cannot afford to build it. The noble families must bear more than 80% of the cost."

Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction and said excitedly: "If this road is repaired, the aristocratic families will definitely organize some people who do not want to go to sea to build villages and counties near this road, and the development of Kuaiji County can be put on schedule."

"My lord is wise! In this way, we don't need to bother recruiting people from Kuaiji. We only need to provide some conveniences to these aristocratic families and build a few small cities." Tian Feng now feels more and more that Yuan Shu's enfeoffment of Yizhou is so wise.

Effortlessly, you can achieve it in one fell swoop.

If you and others don't have to worry about anything, the aristocratic families will willingly help you build Yizhou and even Kuaiji. And in the end, they will have to be grateful to you.

"Not bad, not bad, I finally encountered something good. These aristocratic families really did not disappoint me. They are willing to overcome obstacles for the sake of the people of Li. They are quite like their ancestors!"

Yuan Shu felt a little embarrassed for calling the family in this way, and praised him sincerely.

Although there are a lot of bugs in these aristocratic families, they are still the most elite group of people in the world, and their abilities and foresight are not comparable to those of ordinary poor families.

Before, they were just lost in the whirlpool of fighting for fame and wealth, but now Yuan Shu pointed out the right path, and they immediately showed the same demeanor as their ancestors in pastoring and educating the people.

After all, this world is still dominated by aristocratic families, with help from poor families. Yuan Shu cannot change it. All he can do is guide. After all, a well-educated family with a profound foundation cannot be easily shaken by a poor family, and the common people have no say or leadership ability.

.

"What's the current situation in Yizhou?"

Nearly a month has passed, and Yuan Shu has also paid attention to the development of Yizhou in a timely manner.

Tian Feng said with emotion: "The population is nearly 600,000! The policies adopted by those aristocratic families in the fiefdom are basically the same as those used by the lord, and the development speed is even faster than that of Yangzhou at the beginning! It's really amazing!"

Yuan Shu smiled and said: "That's natural. The power of the aristocratic families cannot be overshadowed! As long as they are active, the energy they can explode is beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Although Yuan Shu had been mentally prepared, he was still surprised when he heard that the population was nearly 600,000. You must know that Yuan Shu had stipulated that except for the slaves of the famous families, the registered people in Yangzhou were not allowed to move away.

In other words, these aristocratic families can only recruit people from other states.

But even so, this time the family was able to acquire nearly 600,000 people in one month. This efficiency really exceeded Yuan Shu's imagination.

However, with the population growing so fast, Tian Feng felt a little worried: "My lord, there are nearly half a million people in the land of the Yizhou family, while the people we sent there in the other half are only over a hundred thousand, shouldn't we?"

Limit it!"

Yuan Shu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the bustle in the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Isn't the reason why people come under the command of a family because they can give them a lot of benefits? As long as we maintain the current status, wait until the family

When our fiefdom is not enough to satisfy the people, they will naturally go from Nantai County to Beitai County."

"However, it's a good idea to hammer it down a bit so that they don't get carried away by the benefits. Please remind those aristocratic families not to go too far. They can make Nantai County's policies more favorable, but don't compete viciously with us."

"In addition, the population of Nantai County must not exceed three times that of Beitai County. The excess population must be sent to Beitai County, otherwise Nantai County will not be allowed to increase its population. By the way, this policy will not be implemented until one month later.

, give the aristocratic families a time to buffer and negotiate."

Yuan Shu understands the principle that the first rich will drive the later rich. But he is afraid that the first rich will become rich, but he does not want to drive the later rich, and even wants to squeeze the latter.
