Today's weather is not bad. Although the sky is not very clear and there seem to be a little too many clouds, it is precisely because of the appearance of these "cute" clouds that the temperature in the past few days, which has been a little higher than the same period in previous years, has not cooled down.

Less.◇↓,

People who would choose to stay at home when there was nothing necessary were walking out of their homes one after another, and there were far more business travelers from other places than before - the face of the captain from the city gate was brighter than the weather.

Judging from Duo's smile, those new business trips have allowed this officer, who does not have much real power, but still has a lucrative position, to get a good income.

In fact, this is indeed something to be happy about.

Although the previous raid went extremely smoothly due to Zhang Ji's accidental death, because the coach lost his life, Ma Teng was unable to control the avalanche of the Nanyang Corps, which was essentially the core of the Nanyang Corps formed by Zhang Ji in the absence of direct troops.

The same big collapse, otherwise with Zhang Ji's management over the years and Wancheng's complete city defense system, even if a mediocre general came to guard this place, it would be impossible for him to surrender it in less than two days.

It is a city of extremely important strategic significance.

But even so, when Cai Hao and others took stock of the gains and losses after the war, they still didn't feel that happy.

Because the population of Wancheng, as well as the counties and villages surrounding Wancheng, is far less than what these Jingzhou people expected, even if they had heard before that Li Shushi used the excuse that the area around Wancheng was at the forefront of the war, and sent a large amount of materials and

Wealth, naturally a large number of people migrated to Henan County, filling up the small population there since Dong Zhuo.

It's just that those people in Jingzhou obviously didn't expect that Li Shushi would do it so thoroughly, and that Zhang Ji would be so cooperative.

It's no wonder that those people in Jingzhou have such doubts. After all, everyone knows the significance of ruling a prosperous city to generals who want to expand their armies. In other words, even if they consider the impact, they will not invest a lot of tax and wealth.

In the army, expanding the wealth of yourself and your subordinates can not only win over people's hearts, but also bring a lot of benefits to your family.

So they really don't understand why Zhang Ji would obey such orders from Jinyang. They must know that even with the close relationship between Huang Zu and Liu Biao, if Liu Biao asked Huang Zu to move his population and wealth to Nanjun, he would definitely force him to do so.

Against Huang Zu.

This can only be said that with the help of Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and Cao Ling who had stayed in Nanyang for a long time, the situation in Nanyang was much more complicated than the Jingzhou Army imagined, but it was also much simpler.

.

It's complicated because Nanyang is the boundary. As a passage connecting the core area of ​​Mikawa Kinki and the core area of ​​northern Jingzhou, it is also the hometown of Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Most of the hero groups around Liu Xiu also came from here, so the family

More powerful ones

It is extremely powerful. Even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the melee between Dong Zhuo and the Kwantung Allied Forces, it is still difficult to fundamentally shake the foundation of these powerful families - unless there is a guy who is not afraid of death, like Li Shushi who was not afraid of heaven and earth.

Land reform.

In addition, in the past few years, starting from Qin Jie, the captain of Nanyang, to the tug of war between the Bingzhou Army and the Jingzhou Army, the intervening more than ten years have experienced several strengths of Qin Jie, Zhang Zi, Sun Jian, Yuan Shu, Jingzhou Army, Dong Zhuo Army and Bingzhou Army.

The alternation and tug-of-war make the relationship between various forces in the county complicated. No matter what you do, you need to worry about the attention and "care" from behind the scenes.

Therefore, for this messy place, the Bingzhou Army's strategy is to pull out all the stops and make it a battlefield, or a forward position to defend Luoyang, rather than a thoroughfare between the north and the south as before. A place where aristocratic families are powerful and prosperous.

For this reason, an extremely complex relocation plan was formulated, as well as a supply transportation plan to ensure that Zhang Ji was stationed here.

This allows Zhang Ji to be stationed in Nanyang with peace of mind without feeling aggrieved, but if something happens, it will not cause too much loss. After all, the relationship between Zhang Ji and the Bingzhou Army may be extremely

Close, but its original Xiliang

The big boss of the army can never be on par with his direct generals in terms of use. Even if the superficial work is done well, there will be no fundamental changes - but the Bingzhou Army cannot do it because Zhang Ji is not

It's stupid to wantonly suppress such a thing even if you are from a direct lineage.

It can be said that how to grasp the balance and at the same time hide it from some untrusted families to a certain extent is definitely a lot of effort. However, for those foxes, big and small, old and young, such a huge plan may

It's also a kind of fun.

But this thing sounds simple. In fact, it is quite simple.

For Zhang Ji, Dong Zhuo's death basically ended his ambition to climb up. In the final analysis, Zhang Ji was just Dong Zhuo's loyal minister. As for others, maybe he could temporarily obey orders, but not too much.

Even when Li Guo was at his most arrogant, he had no choice but to drive his former colleague out of the Central Committee, and then use food, grass, and some nominal political things in the hope of succeeding.

Slowly drag him to death.

It is precisely because Zhang Ji has such an idea, and Zhang Xiu, who inherits the blood of their Zhang family, is doing well under Li Shushi, so as long as Li Shushi does not go too far, Zhang Ji will turn a blind eye.

One eye - if his wife, Zou, could live up to her expectations and have a boy and a girl or something, maybe

Zhang Ji will also consider earning more meritorious deeds and leaving them to future generations. It is a pity that Zhang Ji cannot even muster such a little motivation. As a young man, Zhang Xiu has made it clear that he wants to create a world for himself. Perhaps for a

It may sound a bit lonely to the elders, but the youth's vitality is indeed worthy of praise.

It can be said that if Li Guo hadn't secretly instigated the irreconcilable hatred between Zhang Ji and the Jingzhou army, perhaps Zhang Ji wouldn't even consider that Nanyang prefect and just move to Jinyang to retire. Anyway, with the prosperity of Jinyang

, Li Shushi's respect for him, and Zhang Xiu's status in the Bingzhou Army, Zhang Ji should be able to live an extremely luxurious life.

As for cooperating with the Bingzhou Army's relocation operation, that is naturally a piece of cake. Anyway, Nanyang will not be evacuated all at once.

And after such actions, the result was that when the Jingzhou Army was finally lucky enough to capture Wancheng, they had to face a Wancheng whose value was far less than what they expected - if they hadn't discovered it in the city.

Although it cannot be said to be rich, they obtained a batch of military rations that could be called valuable, as well as a certain amount of mysterious water. After confident calculation, they found that there was still a small profit. It is estimated that they were about to have the idea of ​​setting fire to the city.

No, it wouldn't be surprising even if it were implemented directly.

Of course, this small profit must include those jars of mysterious wine that were discovered in the cellar of the prefect's mansion and were quickly divided and collected by several big men in Jingzhou. Even though it was just a few jars, it was not worth much.

Less than a storehouse of copper coins.

This is what Li Shushi learned after he had been in this world for a long time, or had contact with many upper-class people. It turns out that although this mysterious wine is scarce, there is still a lot of it. It seems that the value may be limited after all, but that is because he does not know how to use it.

In the hands of people like Li Shushi who regard it as an "mp+80" prop, it is naturally like a cow chewing a peony, which is a waste of a good thing.

In fact, in the hands of those who are good at utilizing it, they either use secret methods to purify it and bring it closer to the level of fairy wine, or they use it as a guide and use precious materials as auxiliary materials to refine it into magical medicinal materials, whether it is

No matter how you use the mysterious wine, you can get something that improves your physical condition. Although if you do it improperly, the medicine you get may produce a lot of substances that are not good for your body or are toxic, but families still flock to it.

.

Well. Just think about Li Shushi's fruits that are very pitiful for young people, but they are hard to get. Each family regards it as the best reward for their family or their children. This can be seen.

How big is the market for things?

Of course, it can be deduced from this, and he may not be good at words, but the self-healing spell given to Li Shushi by a certain green dragon really lives up to the name of divine magic. Even after treating Tong Yuan, Zhao Yun and others, Li Shushi became known as the "miracle doctor"

It hasn't spread like wildfire either.

By the way, in the matter of treating Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji took advantage of Li Shushi's favor, which was not a big or small favor.

After careful calculation, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and others felt that the Battle of Wancheng was well worth it. However, as Wenpin, who was placed in Nanyang by Liu Biao to resist possible retaliation from the north, they had a feeling of "saying no even if it's hard".

I felt like my eyes were filled with tears."

Why?

If it was just to guard against retaliation from the north and the war that might result from it, Wenpin, who was loyal to Liu Biao, would not feel the slightest fear at all. Even if he felt a little unsure, he would not complain.

But you big guys from Jingzhou didn’t want to leave any dregs to him after plundering Wancheng and eating half full.

If those powerful Nanyang families who were interested in Jingzhou had not taken the lead in intercepting a lot of people and wealth, and the "big relocation" operation of the Jingzhou Army following the Bingzhou Army had only achieved part of its purpose, Wenpin doubted whether those guys would have left him a house.

Empty city to defend.

If in the history of another dimension, Jingzhou became a huge battlefield because of its direct descendants from the intersection of the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu, and the people always lived under the cloud of war, then today's Nanyang has completely achieved this in advance

.

Even the Bingzhou Army was not sure whether it could occupy Nanyang for a long time and had to move most of its elite elsewhere. How could the Jingzhou Army be confident when they landed and felt that they were beaten out of nowhere compared to the northern soldiers?

How about full?

It's better to leave a piece of white land as a buffer zone. Even if it is really lost, it won't be too distressing.

But who is Wenpin?

Perhaps he was a die-hard loyalist of Liu Biao in terms of political attitude, but in terms of personal ambition, he still had the desire to become a general and become a prime minister. Naturally, he was not willing to break the pot because of Nanyang's brokenness. Instead, he wanted to cry without tears.

After inspecting the entire city, he worked overtime day and night and formulated the "First Five-Year Plan" to revitalize Nanyang.

Judging from the current situation, although this period of time was really exhausting for Wenpin, the results were still extremely significant.

After all, the area where Wancheng is located is the core hinterland of the Nanyang Basin, with fertile soil and dense rivers, which is very suitable for crop growth.

Even if a large number of people are really relocated, in fact, as long as the policies are favorable, enough refugees can still be recruited from nearby states and counties to come here to take root and work again. After all, China's peasant class, as long as there is an opportunity, still hopes that one day You can own a piece of land of your own and pass it down to future generations as a family heirloom.

After all, in ancient farming societies, the most important means of production was land, fertile land.

With such prerequisites as a guarantee, and in addition, Wenpin, who was appointed as the governor of Nanyang by Jingzhou, was delegated power by Liu Biao. After some families left, the remaining families could not completely fill the vacuum immediately, so Wenpin was The operating space was indeed much larger than he expected.

People can be said to be the basis of everything.

With people, production can be organized; with people, there is a need for commercial circulation; with people, everything can be created.

"It's no wonder that Li Zhoumu wanted to capture Wen Zhongye alive. Lao Gan can't learn such a skill."

"I always feel that Xingba, you should change your tune and adapt now."

"That kind of thing is just a trivial matter. What I want to know most now is what the expressions of those high-ranking guys who know that I came back so soon will be like in a few days."

"I probably want to kill you and bury you, then dig you out and beat you again."

"I always feel that you, this bastard, are more ruthless than I thought. Suddenly I feel lucky that I didn't fall into your hands. What should I do? I always feel that if I continue to think about it, my future life will become very ugly. That’s not good.”

"I always feel that if you could see the master, Xingba, the two of you would definitely cherish each other."

"It's not surprising. After all, I am the most special one. It's not surprising that Li Zhoumu realizes this."

"No, because at some point, you both have a strong tendency to be funny."
