————————————————————————
There was indeed a lot of coke in Huanghualin.
But the reason why it appeared was a complete accident. There is a coal mine underground in Huanghualin (which is later known as the Hongshuitian Coal Mine). The coal reserves in this coal mine are not small, and it is not difficult to mine. In the eighth year of Jian'an,
Cao Peng burned Huanghualin, causing the entire Huanghualin to become ruins. The swamp located to the east of Huanghualin was affected by the fire, forming a sealed environment, which accidentally caused the bituminous coal on the bottom surface to be refined into coke.
However, this amount is not too much, and because of the swamp, the mining of coke has become extremely complicated. Overall, Cao Peng's idea of refining coke on a large scale seems unrealistic.
At the same time, the process and technology of coking are not as simple as imagined.
The reason why coke appears in Huanghualin can be said to be a coincidence that is difficult to replicate. However, it is precisely because of the coke floating on the surface that Cao Peng vaguely guessed that there may be coal mines under the red water.
.
What kind of impact can coal have on this era?
Cao Peng was not particularly clear.
Moreover, how to mine this coal mine is also a problem...
The coal mine in Huanghualin gave Cao Peng a vague idea, but the idea was not yet clear.
After leaving Huanghualin, Cao Peng returned to Hongshui County.
But along the way, he seemed a little distracted and almost got sidetracked several times.
Brothers Pang De and Geng Jun did not dare to disturb Cao Peng. They could only follow carefully until dark before arriving at Hongshui County.
Hongshui County has night ban regulations.
In fact, night bans always existed until the Song Dynasty.
Although Cao Peng somewhat canceled this rule, due to the location of Hongshui County, as well as its current economic and material conditions, it will take an extremely long process to develop commercially, and it will not be achieved in a short time.
Cities have evolved from militarization and politicization to commercialization over the course of thousands of years.
Cao Peng was reborn in the Eastern Han Dynasty for only nine years, and the impact he could have was very small.
If you want to transform Hexi County towards commercialization, the first thing you need to bear the brunt of is the demand for goods and materials. This is precisely the basic need that cannot be met in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. When demand exceeds supply, the first thing people must do is
Complete the basic requirements for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Therefore, for Cao Peng, the road to commercialization still requires a long exploration cycle. How difficult it is to transform a thousand years of evolution into more than ten or twenty years of evolution. Two
When Huaicai was initially developed, the Grand Canal had not yet appeared, and the Southeast Economic Circle in later generations was still in the wilderness.
The land of two lakes has not yet evolved into a land of plenty.
The wealth of the Land of Abundance cannot be transported smoothly to the Central Plains due to the difficult road to Shu.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qu Yuan, a great official of the Chu State, said in "Li Sao": The road is long and long, and I will search for it up and down.
Cao Peng seemed to understand that kind of mood.
The ideal is plump, the reality is skinny... He still has a long way to go, a long way to go!
Back in the county house, he was alone on the porch.
In the courtyard, there was a faint fragrance of lilacs lingering, and a bright moon shone brightly. The moonlight poured into the courtyard, but it could not illuminate the confusion in Cao Peng's heart.
Extreme material abundance and extreme population expansion are the basic requirements for economic development.
But given the current situation, this seems to be somewhat difficult. The foreign races outside the Great Wall are still eyeing the Central Plains. The so-called "national integration" in history has become a haze lingering in Cao Peng's heart that cannot be disappeared.
Liangzhou must be stabilized as soon as possible.
The Silk Road must be opened as soon as possible...
The economic invasion of the foreign tribes in Mobei must also speed up.
As time went by, Cao Peng's sense of urgency became stronger and stronger.
Counting the time, Ma Teng should take action!

"Master, Zhen Yao would like to see you."
"Zhen Yao?"
Cao Peng turned around in shock, with a look of confusion on his face.
Jiang Jiong said softly: "He is Miss Cai Fuzhen's brother."
"ah……"
Cao Peng slapped his forehead, and a look of embarrassment suddenly flashed across his face.
This should come, it will come.
He, the dignified governor of Hexi County, has no reason to avoid the Zhen family. Besides, Zhen Mi's matter has nothing to do with me. In the past six months, I have treated Miss Zhen like a distinguished guest, without any intrusion or violation.
obscene.
However, when I think of Zhen Mi, something immediately comes to mind...
"welcome!"
Cao Peng took a deep breath and suppressed Qinian.
He rubbed his face and walked towards the flower hall. After a while, he saw a young man in his thirties coming in timidly.
"Zhen Yao, the sinner of the people, begs the general to apologize."
As soon as Zhen Yao entered the flower hall, he quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"Mr. Zhen, why is this so? Where does the word sinner come from?"
Zhen Yao looked embarrassed and said softly: "In order to take refuge in Hexi, we had to use the name of the general and call the general's family members, so that we could take care of him. But... the Zhen family is now under the rule of the general, how can we not be with the general?
Please forgive me?"
"Uh..." Cao Peng blushed and quickly helped Zhen Yao up.
The reason why he didn't reveal his identity during the day was that he felt a little embarrassed. But there must be an explanation for this matter, and he knew it was inevitable. It was a fact that Zhen Mi was now in Hexi, under his rule.
!Even if he let Zhen Mi live in the Cai Mansion to avoid suspicion. But the problem is that the Cai Mansion and the Junshe live next to each other, so it is difficult to explain the situation clearly. Su Shuang kidnapped Zhen Mi, and Cao Peng had no idea about it... Do you believe it or not?
Anyway, I don’t really believe it!
Even jumping into the Yellow River will not clean up this kind of thing.
But now that Zhen Yao is here, he must give an explanation.
Cao Peng smiled bitterly and said, "What happened to your sister is Cao's fault. I will take care of you when your husband and his family come here."
After hesitating for a moment, he said softly: "It's just that it's better for few people to know about this matter.
I also ask you, Sir, to try your best to restrain your retainers. If the news is leaked, I am afraid that there will be no good for Cao and Sir. Sir, you should know why my lord, the prince, is in trouble. If anyone finds out, he will be killed."
Zhen Yao's face changed. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said softly: "Please don't worry, general. Yao knows how to deal with it."
"Very good!" Cao Peng nodded, "From now on, the Zhen family is part of Hexi, one of the former Hongze tribes. I will try my best to conceal this identity from my husband. But from now on, there will be no Zhongshan Zhen family in Hexi.
Please keep this in mind, sir."
The voice is low and sounds very soft.
But the pressure brought to Zhen Yao was extremely huge.
Cao Peng's aura was so strong that it frightened Zhen Yao.
Of course Zhen Yao is very clear about this... I can guarantee the wealth of your Zhen family! I can also guarantee that your Zhen family will have a place in Hexi. However, you must forget the past.
.From now on, there is only the Zhen family in Hexi! The Zhen family in Wuji County, Zhongshan in the past has disappeared...
This is a big policy!
After all, Cao Pi's death was closely related.
No matter how much Cao Cao trusted Cao Peng, if he knew the cause of this incident, he might not feel a trace of resentment.
The so-called plan for a rainy day is roughly like this.
Cao Peng must be prepared to be known by Cao Cao.
Fortunately, Zhen Yao's journey did not alarm many people, and only Gan Ning knew about it.
Gan Ning was Cao Peng's man, so Cao Peng was quite relieved about this. After warning Zhen Yao, Cao Peng changed the subject. When he chatted with Zhen Yao, he found that Zhen Yao did have some
Skills. Like Su Shuang, he, as a wealthy family in Zhongshan, has an extremely keen insight into business. However, the difference is that Su Shuang is good at trade, while Zhen Yao is good at planning. To a certain extent, the two
There is some overlap, but they can complement each other. Although the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce is supervised by Li Ru and managed by Su Shuang, it still lacks a supervisor.
Previously, Cao Peng had no suitable candidate.
The appearance of Zhen Yao seems to have made up for this shortcoming...
"Sir, are you willing to come out and plan Hexi for me?"
Cao Peng's heart moved, and he introduced the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce to Zhen Yao, and then looked at Zhen Yao expectantly.
Su Shuang kidnapped Zhen Mi, and the Zhen family almost fell into catastrophe.
Therefore, the Zhen family will never join forces with Su Shuang. On the contrary, they will restrict and retaliate against the Su family at the appropriate time.
Such an existence would undoubtedly be of great benefit to Cao Peng.
Especially in terms of controlling the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce, having Zhen Yao can further strengthen Cao Peng's supervision.
Zhen Yao was startled, and then he was overjoyed.
"Yao is willing to die for the young master."
"Hey, in this great situation, how can we use the word 'death'?
I will go to Wuwei County in the near future to station in Guzang. If Mr. Zhen is willing, you can follow me to Guzang and show off your skills."
"Zhen Yao, I am willing to serve as your master and do the work of dogs and horses."
It was only at this moment that Zhen Yao's fear was relieved.
But that alone is not enough! We must further strengthen our relationship with Cao Peng and become his confidant...
How to truly enter Cao Peng’s core shogunate?
I'm afraid we have to start with the younger sister! Judging from the expression on Mr. Cao's face when he talked about the younger sister just now, he doesn't seem to be disgusted with the younger sister. After returning, he needs to discuss with his mother to promote the further integration of the Zhen family and the Cao family as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Zhen Yao has secretly made up his mind!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Zhen family did not stay long when they arrived in Hexi.
Two days later, Cao Peng led Buluan and Guo Huan, as well as Cai Yan and his daughter, and left Hongshui County for Guzang.
The Zhen family also followed Cao Peng and went there together.
It's just that after leaving this time, the Zhen family's retainers were reduced by more than half. Many people were left in Hongshui County to work in the county. On the surface, these retainers were reused. But Zhen Yao knew that he would never
I can't see these retainers.
Since they choose another company so easily, it also shows that they are not trustworthy enough.
The accompanying Japanese people are Zhen Yao's confidants, and there are even two Zhen clan members who will become the core of the Zhen clan in Hexi. Sometimes I think about it, it may be a bit cruel. But for the sake of my own family's future, I have to
Be ruthless.
Although the Zhen family is almost destroyed, a new Zhen family will rise in the northwest.
Zhen Yao can still see clearly between gains and losses.
Before leaving, Cao Peng formally appointed Xia Houlan to act as the acting magistrate of Hongshui County, and at the same time appointed the captain of Wu Ting and the captain of the Hexi military command school.
A reward for following him loyally. Although he is just a captain of Qianshi, his nature is very different from before.
that power!
Xiahou Lan's power has been greatly improved.
The five towns in Hexi, starting from Dahe in the east and ending at Fengming Fort in the west, were all under the control of Xiahou Lan.
At the same time, Cao Peng also secretly began to implement the government army system. Under the establishment of a standing army, the construction of the government army system was further strengthened. In the five towns of Hexi, the army and farmers were integrated, and the army and animal husbandry were integrated, drawing on the old Qin military system, as well as Cao Peng and Xu Shu
Pang Tong's integration and Li Ru's further changes are gradually becoming more reasonable, and we can try to promote them...
This system of government troops was also sent to Xu Du for submission along with the memorial of Xia Houlan's appointment as commander-in-chief of the military academy.
After all, changing the military system without authorization is almost the same as rebellion.
Once the Fubing system is popularized in Hexi, Cao Cao will know about it sooner or later.
Rather than being passive when the time comes, it would be better to take the initiative and make a test field. Cao Cao would not object if I think about it.
In the middle of June of the ninth year of Jian'an, Cao Peng and his party returned to Guzang!

"Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying?"
After Cao Peng arrived in Guzang, he received a report from Pan Zhang.
Isn't Yan Xing the son-in-law of Han Sui, the son-in-law of Han Sui, who is known as the most powerful general in Liangzhou and almost killed Ma Teng with a shot?
How could he come to seek refuge with me!
You must know that although Cao Peng occupied Wuwei County, on the surface, he had to obey the control of Wei Duan and his son.
Moreover, his foundation in Liangzhou is not very deep.
Even if Wuwei County is captured, it is still not stable...
At least, among the nine counties in Wuwei County, Cao Peng did not have complete control. In order to appease the emotions of the old Xiliang tribe in the three western counties, Cao Peng did not dare to make drastic changes. He could only make some adjustments to a minimum extent to avoid
This stimulated the wealthy Xiliang clan to resent him. From this point of view, Cao Peng's control over Wuwei was far inferior to that of the five counties in Hexi. Of course, Cao Peng also knew this. Some things could not be accomplished overnight and needed to be adjusted slowly.
"Logically speaking, wouldn't it be better for Yan Yanming to join Wei Duan and his son?"
When the new aunt Zhao Ang heard this, he immediately smiled.
"Wei Duan was named the governor of Liangzhou, but it was not convincing enough.
This man has a virtuous reputation, but he is as timid as a mouse and very jealous. Sikong had been entangled for a long time when he was appointed the Western Captain. Han Sui is a man who is scheming and calculating, and he knows Wei Duan's temperament best. Speaking of Yan,
I don’t believe that Yan Xing took the initiative to come to meet him. It’s very possible that it was Han Sui’s last instructions... If Yan Xing directly surrendered to Sikong, given Sikong’s current situation, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have a place for him. He has no foundation in the Central Plains, so it’s better to
Stay in Xiliang.
There are several advantages to voting for the young master.
And the biggest advantage is that there will be someone to take care of me in the future.
Yan Xing does have some abilities, but I think that in terms of talent, Cheng Gongying deserves more attention."
"oh?"
How could Cao Peng not pay attention to the advice of an old Liangzhou man?
"How do you think Mr. Weizhang should arrange them?"
"Yan Xing, you can stay under your tent, but don't let him travel far... But it's Cheng Gongying! I heard that there is no resettlement in Wuwei County now, only a military mansion. Cheng Gongying has lived in Liangzhou for a long time and is good at communicating with the Qiang and Di.
