This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 605
It's midsummer in Youzhou Prefecture.

Compared with the people in the south where the water is hot and hot, although Youzhou Prefecture is located in a remote place, it has stable public security and is a place to live and work in peace.

In addition, General Zhenbei sits here, and this place has "stable" conditions that other places do not have.

No matter what the world is like, maintaining stability means maintaining development.

Youzhou also has "commercial development" supported by Cao Su's various policies. After a cold winter, the entire city began to enter a state of rapid development.

Although Qianyuan was an "imperial system", it was still a "city system" at the grassroots level.

The development of each city determines the prosperity of a region.

The large amount of land, dwellings and villages outside the city can only be used as a basic category for the development of the city, rather than play a decisive role.

Cao Su knew this very well, so when he was in charge of Youzhou, he focused his energy on the development of the city.

Youzhou Mansion was the capital of the Yan Empire back then, and the city itself was very large, with a relatively large population.

After the "Migration of Tuxian Mountain" last year, the city of Youzhou Prefecture ushered in the first wave of explosive population growth.

This year, with the continuous turmoil in the south, Youzhou Mansion has welcomed more residents who want to settle down.

"In the past half month alone, more than 1000 people have applied to settle down."

Zhongjin, who was appointed by Cao Su as the prefect of Youzhou Prefecture, was devastated and exhausted because of his household registration.

He ran to Zhenbei General's Mansion and asked Cao Su for instructions.

"Population is the foundation of city development."

Cao Su attached great importance to this point, and after a little thought, he came up with an idea: "Is it possible for Youzhou Mansion to expand again on the original basis?"

"Expand the city?"

Zhongjin was slightly overjoyed, he actually came to Cao Su to put forward this opinion.

Unexpectedly, Cao Su had a tacit understanding with him, and had already made plans in this regard.

There are always many maps in Cao Su's meeting hall.

There are city construction maps including Youzhou Mansion, topographic maps covering the entire north, and even larger maps of the entire Qianyuan Empire.

Cao Su pointed to the southern city of Youzhou.

The Nancheng area is an area that Cao Su has been focusing on developing, including the current Zhenbei General's Mansion, which is also located on the streets of Nancheng: "Many refugees are from the south. After entering the city, they have been living in Nancheng. "

"If Youzhou Mansion wants to develop, the construction of the city must not be complacent."

"If you go all the way to the south, it is not impossible to build another urn city besides the south city."

"Of course, the premise is that there will be no more wars in Youzhou Mansion in recent years. Otherwise, once the war starts, the chaos in the southern city will become the enemy's breakthrough."

Cao Su has his own ideas about the development of Youzhou Mansion. He is now at the first rank of Strength Realm, and he feels that Tongtian City is getting closer and closer to him.

When he was sitting in Youzhou Mansion, he would definitely not worry about the war in Youzhou Mansion. As for other states falling into turmoil, Youzhou has no signs of this at present.

All kinds of situations show that there should not be much war in Youzhou Prefecture in the future, and the expansion of the city is feasible.

Cao Su said solemnly: "However, the manpower for this expansion cannot come from the old people of my Youzhou Mansion."

"Since there are so many refugees from the south who want to enter Youzhou Mansion, let them contribute. Whoever does a good job and works hard can get the first certificate of settlement in your hand."

"Relief with work" has always been the guiding ideology of Cao Su's administration.

This time, Cao Su never gave up on dealing with more and more refugees.

Zhongjin immediately understood what Cao Su meant.

He reminded: "There are still some people who are not suitable for hard work. If they want to settle down, is there any other way?"

"Of course it's meritorious service."

"I, Mr. Cao, came to Youzhou Mansion for one thing - fairness. Under Mr. Cao's rule, fairness will always be the first priority. If there are refugees who are willing to make contributions, of course they can Settlement is a priority to a certain extent.”

Zhongjin asked, "What merit did you do?"

"For the merits of being helpful to Youzhou Prefecture, for example, you can provide some important information, or you have special ancestral technology and are willing to use it. These are all fine. In all aspects of production and life, my Youzhou Prefecture is waiting to be developed. , The recruitment of talents from all sides is not sticking to one pattern.”

Cao Su conveyed his thoughts, and Zhongjin immediately understood.

He hastily bowed to Cao Su: "This subordinate understands."

After that, he left the General's Mansion in a hurry, and hurriedly went on to be his prefect of Youzhou Mansion.

The prefect and the city lord are the two administrative systems Cao Su is considering recently.

In Cao Su's eyes, the top-down bureaucratic system of the Qianyuan Empire is relatively complicated. The city lord is more like a city lord in the traditional sense, but he has great power. Political, economic, and military affairs are all controlled by the city lord. Down.

It can be said that for some stronger city lords, the whole city almost becomes his fiefdom.

Such a "city lord system" is an important reason why the Qianyuan center is weak and unable to suppress bandits.

But in the early stage of the empire's development, through such a "city lord system", the overall strength of the empire could be maximized. Some talented city lords gave full play to their initiative and built many world-famous super cities.

These super cities later became the benchmarks of the world, guiding the progress of the empire.

According to Cao Su's point of view, such a system is still too much a test of human nature. The establishment of the post of "prefect" is his bold innovation in the city lord system.

And Youzhou Mansion is his pilot.

The prefect took part of the "administrative power" from Cao Su, mainly managing the daily affairs of the city.

The city lord can still have a higher appeal, and at the same time focus on military affairs, public security, etc., which is also a kind of burden reduction for the city lord.

It's a bit like the difference between the top leader and the second leader. Cao Su also considered setting up a "state counselor" to manage financial power.

After all, in his knowledge and understanding, "triangle" is always the most stable structure.
-
In the south of Youzhou Prefecture, the official road is full of flowers.

Many refugees were turned away by the city gate of Youzhou Prefecture. The Zhenbei Army dressed in Xuanjia was majestic. There were only a few hundred people guarding them, but they frightened a large number of refugees.

"What exactly does Youzhou Mansion mean? Enter and not let in, go and not let go!"

Some refugees muttered, their mentality was not very good.

Since they came to Youzhou Mansion a few days ago, they have been turned away by the officials of Youzhou Mansion, who ordered them to wait outside the city.

This waits until now.

Now that the dry food I brought is almost gone, if I don't go to the city and find a way to find some work, how can I survive?

So many refugees were in a hurry, and several people ran to the gate of the city to make trouble.

The only response to them was the shining long knife.

Zhenbei Army looked at them indifferently and did not answer.

"What the hell does that mean?"

The refugees were pale and angry.

"Is it because of the evil dragon? I heard that in the past few days, there has been an evil dragon in the Funiu Lake in the northeast. Now the whole Youzhou Prefecture is talking about the evil dragon. How can anyone take care of our lives? ?”

In the crowd, someone expressed dissatisfaction.

There is a deep allure to this dissatisfaction that many people resonate with.

"I didn't expect to come to Youzhou Mansion from thousands of miles away. I thought it would be a good place to settle down, but I didn't expect that Youzhou Mansion is generally the same. This imperial court is over. The world is so big that there is no place for us to stay."

The refugees wailed, and more than a thousand people gathered outside the city, and they were all quickly ignited with anger and dissatisfaction.

But they didn't dare to provoke the Zhenbei Army.

The Suppressing North Army was no different from the government army they had seen before. These Suppressing North Army were all thick and tall, with a bloody smell that hadn't been washed off.

To provoke the Zhenbei Army rashly, isn't that just a word of death?
"Let's go, if you can't enter Youzhou Mansion, it's a lie to say that Youzhou Mansion is a paradise."

Among the crowd, there were refugees who didn't want to wait any longer and prepared to leave.

Some people set an example of leaving, and many people began to learn and left here.

At this time, some abnormal noises appeared in the Zhenbei Army.

Then an ugly young official came to the south of Youzhou Prefecture under the escort of many Zhenbei troops.
-
Among the refugees, there was a dirty middle-aged man.

The man's face was sallow, and he didn't expect that an official from Youzhou Prefecture actually came forward.

It's just some refugees, the Youzhou government will come forward for this kind of thing?

"My name is Zhongjin, and I am the prefect of Youzhou Prefecture."

Although the ugly man has a gentle face, because of his ugly appearance, the words he speaks are not always convincing, and even a little scared.

Zhongjin spoke steadily, and quickly expressed the meaning of Youzhou Prefecture.

In fact, it was Cao Su's intention to build a new city outside the south of the city.

The new city needs a large number of refugees to build together. Youzhou Prefecture will provide food and places to live. Those who do well can be given priority to settle down, and there are also rewards and wages.

"What? Build a city?"

The yellow-faced man was stunned. He didn't come to build a city for Youzhou Mansion. He also shouldered the important task entrusted by the young master, and he had to lurk in Youzhou Mansion.

Originally thought that bewitching some refugees would have an impact on Youzhou Mansion.

I didn't expect these refugees to be so helpless, they would rather wait outside than mess with the Zhenbei Army.

"no!"

The yellow-faced man was sweating profusely.

But some new "friends" beside him have already started cheering.

"Old Wang, that's great, we have a chance to enter Youzhou Mansion!"

"Old Wang, why do you look sad? Don't you just do some physical work, you have food and shelter, it's nothing to spend a little effort, aren't you very strong, you should be able to carry it .”

Some new friends are also refugees at the bottom. Most of them used to be peasants.

There were bright smiles on each face, and the previous dissatisfaction with the Zhenbei Army disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Old Wang smiled wryly. If he had known earlier, he would not be among the refugees, and he could just take the caravan route.

But if it is in a caravan, then the evil dragon.
Soon, Pharaoh, like his friends, was given some tools for work.

Shovels, hoes, ropes, axes, everything.

In addition to the official road in the south of the city, there was originally a moat.

If you want to expand the city, you must first fix the moat.

These more than a thousand people, under the command of Zhongjin, started the mighty project.
-
Overlook Youzhou Mansion from a height of hundreds of feet.

I saw that the south of the city of Youzhou Prefecture was particularly lively. Amidst the faint smoke rising from the kitchen, the slogans of the poor and working people sounded, and then pieces of big wood and big stones were transported up and down.

In the clouds, a stream of light quietly appeared, and after observing the lively scene of Youzhou Mansion, it fell into Youzhou Mansion.

This streamer was still visible at first, but after it fell into the city, it quickly disappeared and appeared in the streets and alleys swaying left and right.

In the end, it turned into an ordinary figure wearing a bamboo hat, and walked into a teahouse.

Youzhou Mansion is very lively, and the tea house is full of people from all corners of the country.

People in the Jianghu like to be lively, and there are some storytellers in the teahouse, and live performances.

Have a pot of tea, take a nap, listen to a storyteller performing a story, and relax a little.

At this time in the teahouse, there was an old man.

The old man was wearing a tattered square scarf and an old cloth robe that was turning blue and white. Although the clothes were withered, he looked rich.

I saw him shaking his head and brain, beating the bronze drum in front of him with the bamboo stick in his hand several times, singing: "I am sleeping in the grass tent, and my heart returns from the dream of turning into a butterfly."

"Where a hundred thousand generals' souls are buried, no letters from home fly thousands of miles away."

The old man said and sang a paragraph, and the singing was better than the speaking.

"Speaking of which, a few days ago, the three major sects united with the major sects in the north, and dispatched the best disciples among the sects to go to Liaobei to investigate the ancient city of Mihe."

"This ancient city of Mihe is also famous in history."

The old man didn't tell the story of "The Evil Jiao Goes Crazy" today, but talked about "The Ancient City of Mihe".

The matter of "the ancient city of Mihe turned into the ancient city of blood demon" caused a lot of trouble in the rivers and lakes.

In terms of influence, it is wider than the "evil Jiao riot" near Youzhou Prefecture, and the radiation range reaches Youliao, Jiguang and the five states. Even Yuzhou and Lingzhou have people from the rivers and lakes, rushing to Liaozhou , to explore the ancient city of Mihe.

I heard that in the ancient city of Mihe, apart from a large amount of evil blood that can affect people's mind, there are also some magical treasures.

In the ancient city of Mihe, someone picked up a "mountain-breaking axe" left over from ancient times. It is said that he learned the three styles of "mountain-breaking axe" from it, and made great progress in martial arts.

Going north to Liaozhou, it is a good choice to come to Youzhou Mansion first to stop and adjust.

If you go further east to north, there is no better place to adjust, and even further to the northeast, the road is very barren and the conditions are even more difficult.

Therefore, people from the rivers and lakes gathered in Youzhou Mansion, which brought a lot of popularity and vitality to Youzhou Mansion.

The figure wearing a bamboo hat entered the tea house, and the enthusiastic mistress came to greet him.

"Guest officer, would you like some tea?"

Under the bamboo hat came a crisp voice, which did not conceal her "female voice". She put the long sword beside her and said in a deep voice, "A pot of fine tea."

Not many people came to Youzhou Mansion to drink fine tea, so Xiao Er was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately smiled and said: "Okay, just wait a moment!"
