Chapter 171 Wu State is too strong, let's weaken Wei State
Chapter 171 Wu is too strong, let’s weaken Wei
Returning to the Shaodang Qiang Palace, Ma Su found a random step and sat down, thinking about various follow-up questions in his mind. He didn't notice that the little girl Qiyana quietly came over and sat next to him, her face slightly red.
Zhang Xiu dutifully guarded him, watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.
The situation that the Shaodang Qiang are now facing is much more complicated than imagined. Not only the people from the three cities of Liangzhou are flocking here. The three nearby Han, Qiang, and Di tribes, after hearing that the Shu Han army defeated the Wei army, and arrogantly
The granaries were opened to store grain, and the treasuries were emptied, and they gathered one after another.
People live in pursuit of profit, which is an eternal truth.
For the people, they don't care who the ruler is. Whoever can give them better living conditions will be the people ruled by him.
Earlier when the money in the treasury was dispersed in the three cities, a large number of people who had received the benefits rushed to burn Qiang with their families. There were still more people who were frightened by the ban of the Wei government and did not dare to openly escape from the three cities.
However, when the news spread that Zhang He's army was defeated, the three cities suddenly became trembling.
The guards of the three places could no longer control the few people under their rule who were scattered outside the city.
As a result, a large number of people from Liangzhou gathered at the Shaodang Qiang Market, and they were so densely packed that they could not be seen to the end.
Even though tens of thousands of people have been settled in Shaodangqiang, these people seem to emerge from the ground and continue to gather here.
This situation is extremely rare. The people's attachment to their homeland is engraved in their bones. Unless they have to, they rarely choose to drag their families and leave their hometowns.
Ma Su speculated that there are three reasons why this happened.
First, after Zhang He's defeat and death, Wei's troops in Liangzhou were less than 10,000. They had to huddle their troops in the city to deal with the threat of tens of thousands of cavalry under Ma Di's command that might arrive at any time. In this way, they would lose control of the surrounding areas.
Take control.
Second, the Shaodang Qiang are not far from Liangzhou and are within the walking distance acceptable to the people.
The third is the herd mentality. The more people go south to join the Shu Han, the easier it is for those ignorant and unopinionated people to be influenced and follow the steps of the masses to go south.
As a result, more and more people came to seek refuge.
In fact, the wealth that Ma Su spread in the three cities only benefited 30,000 to 40,000 people at most, but the total number of people who defected has already exceeded 100,000, and there are more people on the way.
Ma Di was happy to hear this. Although he didn't know how to arrange these people for the time being, his intuition told him that this (the people's defection) was a great thing for the Shu Han.
This is equivalent to directly weakening Wei and strengthening Shu Han!
If Shuhan can really become a paradise that people all over the world yearn for, a paradise that people dream of, a utopia without clan exploitation, class oppression, and war and strife, and allow all people to have the right to live freely, then people all over the world will come to Shuhan one after another.
Wouldn't it just explode on the spot and take off in a spiral?
However, these are just thoughts.
With the current basic situation of Shu Han, it is not that attractive to the people of the world.
That is to say, it can attract some poor people in remote areas.
Therefore, the question now is, how to deal with and resettle these more than 100,000 people, as well as the people who may come in the future?
It is obviously very unsuitable to resettle them all in Shaodang Qiang. This will make the wealthy Shaodang Qiang suddenly return to the aboriginal era, and they must find a new place to resettle these people.
Ma Su could have asked Zhuge Liang for advice on this issue, or even left it directly to Zhuge Liang to deal with, but he did not choose to do so.
Instead, I decided to try it first, and if I could solve it, I would handle it myself.
If it can't be solved, it won't be too late to hand it over to Zhuge Liang.
In fact, it is not difficult to resettle a large number of people. What is difficult is how to get them through the initial discomfort and have clothing and shelter.
In short, a lot of vacant houses and food are needed.
It just so happened that there were a large number of vacant houses in the three cities of Xixian, Xiabian and Weixian, and Shuhan had no shortage of food.
Xiabian Sancheng is located in the northeast of Wudu County, northwest of Hanzhong County, adjacent to Chencang Road in the north and Yinping in the south. It is the core of the northern Shuhan region.
This is also the reason why there are so many vacant houses in Xiabensan City - it is in a strategic location and must be fought over by military strategists. Eleven years ago, after the failure of the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Cao moved too many people here to Hanzhong.
.
Since then, the three cities have become so desolate, with ten houses and nine empty, the fields are in depression, and there are almost no people except the Qiang people in the deep mountains and forests.
Although Ma Su later moved more than 100,000 Qiang people from the Eastern Qiang continent to the three cities, the population density was still very small.
Obviously, it is a good idea to place the people in three places, with the following as the center, to form a large population gathering place.
So, Ma Su immediately sent an order and arranged for them all to go to the three cities of Xixian, Xiabian and Weixian.
After arranging these things, I had time to look at Qiyana.
She looked over eagerly, and as soon as her eyes met Ma Su's, she lowered her head shyly.
The younger daughter looks particularly charming.
Ma Su smiled slightly: "Qiyana, come to my room tonight, do you have anything to do with me?"
There were two blushes on Qiyana's face, she looked worried and hesitated to speak.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
After a while, Qiyana recovered a little, lowered her head and whispered: "General Zhao, is he free recently?"
Ma Su quickly took over the conversation: "You can come whenever you are free, and I will clean up...what? Old General Zhao?!"
Ma Su stared at Qiyana with wide eyes and felt a little unhappy.
Zhang Xiu quickly turned around and shrugged.
Qiyana opened her clear and pure eyes wide and said blankly: "I want to become a disciple of General Zhao and learn marksmanship."
Learn marksmanship...
Ma Su said seriously: "I know how to shoot, you can learn from me."
"..."
Qiyana looked at him blankly, and after a while, she nodded happily.
…
Ma Su returned to the palace, threw away all the sundries on his body, and asked Axiu to prepare a large bucket of cold water. He casually dismissed Qiyana, who wanted to peek or even take a bath with him, and then sat down comfortably.
The cool water temperature made him shiver, and then he relaxed. He took a comfortable bath first, and ignored the embroidery. He first checked the attributes of the monarchs of Wei, Shu and Wu.
[Spent 7000 stability points, remaining: 33046.]
After checking, it was found that the population of Shuhan increased by 200,000 and currently reaches 3.26 million (including the army).
Wei's population decreased by 240,000, leaving only 6.11 million (excluding 500,000 troops).
As for Wu State, its population also decreased by 90,000, leaving only 3.2 million (including 200,000 troops).
Ma Su was overjoyed to see that the Shu Han's base had finally surpassed the powerful Wu State.
It can be foreseen that once Huang Xi and Li Sheng open up a base in the rear of Wu State, Wu State's strength will further weaken!
Since the Kingdom of Wu is still so powerful...
So, it’s time to weaken Wei!
But how to weaken it, whether from the inside or from the outside, still needs to be carefully considered.
On the light screen, a row of eye-catching numbers flashed: 33046.
Below this number, there is also a striking reminder: [When assets reach 100,000, the system mall update will be automatically triggered. 】
Mall update...
What item needs to be so expensive as 100,000 stable points?
It won't be a powerful cannon or a hand-made nuclear bomb, right?
Ma Su looked at all the items in the system mall and had almost no desire to buy them.
Among these things, except for the Blood Locking Pill, other items are of little use.
Take plate armor, for example. To put it bluntly, it is an armor similar to rattan armor. The disadvantages are as obvious as the advantages. The advantage is strong defense, but the disadvantage is that it is afraid of fire. It is okay to equip a few people with this thing. Once the army is large,
Large-scale equipment, the enemy only needs a fire... and then send it.
Even food is no longer necessary to buy.
After this period of accumulation, Shu Han has a full warehouse of food and lacks nothing except money.
Then, the next goal is to save 100,000 stability points and update the mall.
There are currently only two ways to earn points. One is to enter the four major dungeons to experience. The level D difficulty "Dingyu Xiqiang" has been cleared and cannot be entered again. There is still the level C difficulty "Eagle Yang Western Region".
There are three copies of the B-level "Domination of Xiliang" and the A-level difficulty "Tiger in Longyou".
In addition, there is road construction revenue that is calculated every 5,000 miles. In the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, Ma Wen is leading the engineering team to work in large areas, and the length of major arterial roads is also growing rapidly.
Ma Su can see the mileage reminder under the task every day.
Total mileage: 9990 miles!
It is foreseeable that either today or tomorrow, he will have a huge income, between 10,000 and 40,000!
If you calculate it this way, a stable point of 100,000 is not far away.
I don’t know what items will be sold in the new mall.
I wonder if there will be blue Xiaoyao pills.
I've been feeling quite overwhelmed lately.
Ma Su thought about the new mall longingly for a while, yawned, and was about to go to bed when suddenly a long, slender and smooth leg came over.
Ma Su slapped his forehead: "Axiu, don't make trouble."
A fragrant breath penetrated into the nostrils, and a soft and timid voice whispered in Ma Su's ear: "General, it's me."
As soon as he heard this voice, Ma Su suddenly stopped feeling sleepy. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the smiling face beside him through the dim candlelight.
It is the little girl Qiyana.
Her eyes are like autumn waves, her cheeks are like painted red clouds, her delicate body is trembling slightly, her breath is like orchid, and her small nose is slightly wrinkled, which vividly displays the classical charm of the beauty under the lamp.
Her voice was as soft and melodious as a yellow magpie.
