Then Xu Wei came to Lelang County, the last stop on his northward journey.
Lelang County governs North Korea and leads 18 counties, namely North Korea, Zhanchan, Suicheng, Ranghan, Hunmi, Zengdi, Liwang, Luofang, Ledu, Bashui, Tuenyou, Hanzi, Tixi, Daifang,
Haiming, Zhaoming, Liekou, and Changcen have a population of 250,000. In a remote place like Youzhou, they are actually among the top counties, with a population greater than more than half of the counties in Youzhou.
Anyway, after Xu Wei came to Lelang County, he felt that he had returned to the civilized world! Not only were there many times more Han people than in Liaodong, but there were also more towns and villages than in Liaodong, at least to the level of Shanggu and Yuyang!
Xu Wei said a little strangely: "Lelang County is nearly a thousand miles farther away from the pass than Liaodong. Why is the population here even larger and more prosperous than Liaodong?"
Liu Hu also felt strange and said: "Not to mention the governance, I haven't realized that among the four counties in Liaodong, Lelang County is indeed the most developed and has the largest population!"
At this time, a petty official next to Liu Hu said: "Does this villain know about the issue of governing?"
Xu Wei looked at this little official and said with a smile: "Then you can help me clear up my confusion?"
The clerk took a deep breath and said: "Although Lelang County was established by the former Han Dynasty, it has a very long history. In the late Shang Dynasty, after King Wu of Zhou conquered Zhou, Jizi took the survivors of the Shang Dynasty and moved eastward to the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, establishing "Jizi"
"The Marquis State" is also called "Jizi Korea". Therefore, Lelang County established a country thousands of years ago, and the land of Lelang has been developed for thousands of years. The population is naturally larger and the area is more prosperous, while Liaodong County is
It was during the Warring States Period that King Ji of Yan Zhao established the county. It was really developed in the Pre-Han Dynasty! And Xuantu County was only established during the Emperor Wu's affair. These two counties were established in a short time and were difficult to develop. Naturally, there were not many people left.
!
Xu Wei was surprised and said: "Insightful!"
Is there really such a possibility? In ancient times, the development of a new land was very large and took a very long time. The prosperity of Jiangnan was based on thousands of years of development. It can be said that from the end of the Han Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, after thousands of years, the Han nation
It was only after many disasters and continuous sacrifices in development that Jiangnan Fuyu surpassed that of the Central Plains for the first time!
Then Xu Wei asked: "What's your name?"
The people around looked at this little official with envy, jealousy and hatred, wishing they could replace him with their own bodies. They knew that this little official was attracted by the governor, and he might become famous in the future!
The clerk also took a deep breath and said, "The villain Gongsun Du!"
"Gongsun Du?" Xu Wei looked at him in surprise!
He is actually a historical figure, and he is not just a walk-on person!
Gongsun Du is not famous in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but his status is quite high in history. Xu Wei still knew his name in the Internet era. At that time, a title seemed to say that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" should actually be called "The Romance of the Four Kingdoms"!
At that time, he curiously clicked in and took a look, only to find out that there was another man named Gongsun Duniu who occupied the Liaodong Peninsula and established himself as the Marquis of Liaodong and the Mu of Pingzhou. He then conquered Goguryeo in the east, Wuhuan in the west, and Liaodong in the south.
In the peninsula, he crossed the sea to take the counties of Donglai in the northern part of the Jiaodong Peninsula, opened up territory and expanded the territory; he also recruited talents, opened schools, recruited refugees, and spread his authority overseas, as if he regarded himself as the King of Liaodong.
Of course, this fourth country has never been established, and it is also far away from the Central Plains. It has little impact on the Central Plains. If it were not too remote, Cao Cao would have wanted to wipe out this separatist force. Therefore, from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, this separatist force in Liaodong was as close as
Like a transparent person who only appears two or three times!
Gongsun Du looked at Xu Wei in surprise and said, "Does the ruler know about villains?"
He was just a minor official in Liaodong County. How could the big shots in power know about him?
"You are not the prefect of Liaodong, why did you join the Tengjia Army?" Xu Wei's Tengjia Army rarely accepted even the small officials of the Han Dynasty, let alone the prefect who paid 2,000 shi. He didn't even know about it at all, so
He looked at Liu Hu and wanted him to give him an explanation!
Liu Hu also wondered: "Who said Gongsun Du was the governor of Liaodong? Although he served as the governor of Jizhou in the Han Dynasty, he was quickly dismissed by the corrupt officials of the Han Dynasty because he had no backing. Since then, he has been idle at home.
, I personally recruited him to become Changshi!"
Xu Hao suddenly realized after thinking about it! Historically, it was Xu Rong, a fellow villager, who recommended Gongsun Du to Dong Zhuo and made him the governor of Liaodong. However, during this period, Xu Rong followed Huangfu Songjizhou, so naturally he could not influence Dong Zhuo.
.
Gongsun Du also wanted to make a comeback. At that time, he had contacted his fellow countryman Xu Rong and planned to find a good position in the Jizhou Army. But before he took office, the Youzhou War happened inexplicably, and Gotojia
The army defeated the Han army of 500,000 in a crushing manner. Even the first general of the Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song, died in the hands of Lei Gong!
This made him stop thinking about making a comeback. The Tengjia Army was so strong that what he had to do now was not to serve as cannon fodder for the imperial court. After that, he stayed in his hometown of Liaodong to observe the situation in the world!
The situation in the world has indeed changed in a way that has always stunned him. Faced with the pressure of the Tengjia Army, the imperial court actually mutinized in Luoyang City. Dong Zhuo, the most powerful prime minister, was assassinated by Yang Biao and others, and Dong Zhuo's subordinates were even more...
They were fighting with the imperial army in Sili! Hundreds of thousands of the most elite troops of the imperial court were killing each other. When the news reached Liaodong, Gongsun Du felt that the Han Dynasty was going to die! The Han Dynasty had lost hundreds of thousands of the elite Central Army.
What can we use to deal with the Tengjia Army, and what can we use to suppress the princes from all directions!
Moreover, none of the big men who had united were a match for Lei Gong. When Yang Biao and the others took advantage of them, the big men were all torn apart. There was still strength to withstand the attack of the Tengjia Army. Sure enough, in the Land of Autumn Harvest, the Tengjia Army captured the entire Jizhou with overwhelming force.
More than 200,000 Jizhou troops were wiped out, and now there are only a few elite troops in the entire Han Dynasty. It is even more difficult to resist the attack of the Tengjia army! The world must belong to the Tengjia army!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So after Liu Hu took charge of the entire four counties of Liaodong as the governor of Liaodong, he immediately tried to find a way to meet Liu Hu, and then revealed his talents. Liu Hu
He was a warrior who didn't have much political ability. He discovered Gongsun Du's political ability, hired him as the chief historian of Liaodong, and handed over the government affairs of the four counties of Liaodong to him! With his political ability of more than 90%, Gongsun Du
Du quickly became Liu Hu's confidant, so this time when Xu Wei inspected the Liaodong area, Liu Hu would also bring Gongsun Du there!
Xu Wei looked at Gongsun Du with emotion on his face and said to himself: This should be the first historical celebrity to seek refuge with him, and judging from what he has done in history, his political ability is at least 90 points or above, but his ambition is too big, history
Chaos broke out in the Upper Central Plains, and warlords from all over the country had no time to visit eastward. Gongsun Du took the opportunity to establish himself as the Marquis of Liaodong and the shepherd of Pingzhou. Later, Cao Cao recruited Gongsun Du to be the general of Wuwei and granted him the title of Marquis of Yongning Township. Gongsun Du said: "I am proclaimed king in Liaodong.
What are you doing, Yongning? "Hide the seal and ribbon in the weapons arsenal.
It seems that the Tengjia Army is not a divided man. Xu Wei is not afraid of Gongsundu's ambition. He asked with interest: "I want to develop the four counties of Liaodong, but the four counties of Liaodong are remote and the members of the Tengjia Army are not willing to come.
, I wonder if you have any good ways to help me realize this idea?"
This is a test of myself! Gongsun Du was overjoyed. If he could answer this question well, he would become famous in the future!
After thinking for a long time, he said: "Commander Qu, I heard that our Tengjia Army is attacking the local tycoons in Jizhou and dividing their fields. All the powerful people in Jizhou are about to be killed. I wonder if this is the case?"
Xu Wei said calmly: "Of course it's a lie. I don't kill people. What I kill are noble nobles who have been stained with the blood of innocent people. They deserve to die. Other than that, the human rulers of other noble noble families have not touched them at all."
!”
Of course, Xu Wei didn't say that it was Wang Dang, Yang Feng and others of the Yellow Turban Army who massacred the nobles. Although he also thought it was cruel, the wealthy nobles in Jizhou treated the families of the Yellow Turbans by extermination, so Yang Feng
, Wang Dang and others used the same method to retaliate against the nobles in Jizhou, Xu Wei did not stop him, after all, don’t persuade others to do good things without dealing with them! Maybe it’s because he stayed in the Han Dynasty for a long time and saw too many deaths. Now Xu Wei feels that retaliating with tooth is better.
There is nothing wrong with blood for blood revenge!
Gongsun Du continued: "The ruler can move all the family members of Jizhou's noble families to the four counties of Liaodong. In this way, they will have difficulty affecting the situation in Jizhou after leaving Jizhou. And they have tens of thousands of people, and Liaodong can also get a lot of people.
Population! Coupled with the method of Qu Shuai's military settlement, 100,000 people immigrate to the four counties of Liaodong every year. It will take less than 10 years to improve the situation of Liaodong with more Hu and fewer Han. Moreover, the family members of these noble families are also people who have read poetry and books.
, they can just come here to help the government turn Hu into Han, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"
This is not an innovation. Xu Wei has been exiling the nobles in his territory. The nobles in Bingzhou were exiled to the grasslands. The nobles in Youzhou were exiled to the islands to dig struvite. The nobles in Jizhou were exiled to Liaodong.
It’s a good place!
Xu Wei continued to ask: "How to solve the food problem? Although we can support Liaodong a little, our Tengjia Army still has many things to do in the Central Plains, and the Tengjia Army itself is also short of food. This cannot be changed in a short time.
!”
Gongsun Duxin said: "If these 100,000 people are concentrated in one county in Liaodong, Liaodong will naturally not be able to support so many people. But if they are scattered in four counties and thirty-nine counties in Liaodong, each county can support a few thousand people at most and establish several
It’s not difficult to establish a military garrison! Qu Shuai doesn’t even need to send food. The same goes for sending high-quality steel tools, salt and woolen cloth from the Tengjia Army. With these goods, we can compete with the surrounding barbarians.
People trade food. Although the land of Liaodong is wild, there is no shortage of food to eat! Moreover, there are many fishing grounds in the four counties of Liaodong. As long as the government supports one of our shipyards, it will not be difficult to solve the food problem of these 100,000 immigrants! "
Xu Wei nodded with satisfaction. This Gongsun Du really had a lot of skills and actually thought of trading grain to the barbarians. Xu Wei really had never thought of this. After all, the barbarians he met were not short of food. From then on,
It is impossible to buy food from the hands of people who are short of food!
But in fact, such a thing is very possible! After all, judging from the primitive tribes Xu Wei saw, they really lacked everything. Food is easy to obtain in other seasons except winter. With tools, you can also improve
Their productivity!
Gongsundu is very receptive to new things. He knew about the fishery in Guangyang County in Liaodong! And he will replicate it in Liaodong!
Finally, Xu Wei asked a question that he still has no solution to. He said: "I can let 30,000 or even 300,000 people come to Liaodong for military settlement, but I cannot let 3 million people come to Liaodong for reclamation. Instead, I need to develop
It is estimated that the entire Liaodong needs a population of at least five million to achieve the results I want, but no one wants to come to Liaodong, a cold and miserable place. Do you have a way to solve this problem?"
This question really stumped Gongsundu. He didn't answer for a long time. Xu Wei patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can think about this question slowly. I will stay in Liaodong for a while!"
Then Xu Wei said to the guards around him: "If you can think of a way, I won't be stingy with rewards!"
In the next half month, Xu Wei kept walking around Lelang's villages and counties to check on the situation in Lelang County!
Perhaps it was because it was too far away from the Central Plains. There were almost no changes in Lelang County and the Han Dynasty. Even the division of fields by the Tengjia Army was avoided by the local wealthy families. The families here originally lived in groups, and the population of each family was small.
There are so many. Since the Tengjia Army wants to divide the fields, they will divide their families. One male will be divided into one family. The land of their family is not even enough, and they can even occupy some wasteland!
After Xu Wei found out, he could only acquiesce to this situation. As Liu Hu said, there were millions of barbarians around Liaodong, and there were too few Han people to kill. Also, with such a separation, people's hearts would be
Sooner or later, such a false family separation will become a real family separation!
After inspecting Lelang, Xu Wei started his return journey!
He said to Liu Hu: "If the four counties in Liaodong communicate by land, then these four counties are thousands of miles away from the Han Dynasty. Moreover, this road is also very remote and unsafe, and the road environment is also very poor. If the four counties in Liaodong are connected by land,
The cost of the four counties is very high. Such a huge cost on one road is not suitable for the current Liaodong world. But if you reach these four counties by sea, it will only take a few days at most, which will greatly shorten the distance.
The connection between the four counties in Liaodong and Youzhou and Jizhou!"
"During this period, in addition to arranging military affairs, you also want to build a wharf so that Youzhou and Jizhou can be connected to the four counties of Liaodong by sea. As long as the sea is open, the products of our Tengjia Army, merchants, and even immigrants can be connected by sea.
Come to Liaodong quickly, and with these guarantees, the four counties of Liaodong will be easy to develop!"
In this era, it would not only take time to enter Liaodong by land, but also the road would be difficult and unsafe! Even Cao Cao was afraid of the journey to Liaodong and did not dare to attack Gongsun Kang. Relatively speaking, the sea route was very fast and convenient, just like this time
If Lelang County builds a dock, he can return to Youzhou by sea ship, and the logistics between the mainland of Han Dynasty and Liaodong can be dozens of times faster.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wei has to find a way to go to Pingguo County, Liaodong, thousands of miles away, and then take a sea ship back to Guangyang County!
Liu Hu nodded and said: "I will recruit civilians to build a dock in each coastal county of the four counties of Liaodong to maintain connections with Youzhou and Jizhou!"
Before Xu Wei was about to return to Guangyang County, Gongsun Du found Xu Wei and told Xu Wei a trick: "My subordinates heard that there is a golden river in Fuyu, and I don't know whether it is true or not, but the people of Fuyu
Gold often comes to our Liaodong to buy goods!"
Xu Wei was dumbfounded when he heard this. This move is really the most powerful move for immigrants. San Francisco and New Gold Mountain in Australia were all developed in this way. Xu Wei remembered that a novel he had read was also developed using this method.
There seems to be a gold mine on the territory of the Fuyu people in the three eastern provinces. It should be in the upper reaches of the Liao River, right?
Xu Wei couldn't remember clearly. After all, he had read this book many years ago, and he only had a rough impression!
