Chapter 236 East China Sea Territory

"Wen Ruo, Gong Da, I think you have heard from Zhicai that we actually have a Donghai leader in Donghai County."

"That's where I really rule. You have been here for more than a month. Next, I should take you to see. We are really powerful."

When Su Fan returned to Donghai County, he didn't immediately take over Yuzhou. He only had the name of Yuzhou Mu now.

Moreover, Kong Ni is still the governor of Yuzhou. If he goes directly there, there will inevitably be conflicts. In addition to Yuzhou, Yuan's power is not small, especially Runan is Yuan's old nest.

Despite the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Runan was ravaged, but the Yuan family did not suffer much.

After all, the Yuan clan's clan land, the Wubao built, is taller than many county towns, and the Yellow Turban has never been breached.

Most of the prefectures and counties in Yuzhou are former students of the Yuan family. It is almost impossible for him to command these people.

So he will still go according to his plan, first take down Yangzhou, and then talk about it. As for Xuzhou, it is his territory.

In the past few years, he has been secretly controlling Xuzhou, not to mention Guangling County, where he also has great influence in Langya Kingdom.

If he had waited until Tao Qian handed over Xiapi to him, he would be a veritable Xuzhou shepherd.

Yangzhou first, and then slowly devour Yuzhou. As for Qingzhou, with Guan Hai's yellow scarf, he can slowly support behind him.

When he is strong enough, Qingzhou will also fall into his hands, and then he will occupy the overlord of the four states.

This is also the future plan he and Xi Zhicai made before.

Now that he has got more talents from Yingchuan County, his plan can be accelerated.

These people followed him to Donghai County for more than a month, and gradually took over his government affairs, especially Xun Yu, who is worthy of the talent of Wang Zuo and the prime minister. It took only one month, almost, and he took over his government affairs with ease. up.

But next, the government affairs of the East China Sea Territory will be much more complicated.

The rune carriage drove fast on the wide concrete road, with an average speed of [-] kilometers per hour, without any bumps.

"Is this Chidao?"

Looking at the spacious road outside through the window of the carriage, both uncle and nephew Xun Yu were very curious, they had never seen a concrete road before.

It's just that the ten-meter-wide cement road surprised both of them.

They looked at each other, and they felt that they had underestimated the lord. It is not easy to build such a road in this wilderness.

Then what will happen to the East China Sea Territory that Zhicai and them often mention.

In Donghai County, they found that commerce and trade are extremely developed, and there are endless levels of novelties.

They asked Xi Zhicai, and they knew that most of the goods came from the East China Sea Territory.

This time they were brought there, obviously already regarded as confidantes.

After traveling all the way for thirty hours, they arrived at the border of the East China Sea Territory.

"That is?"

Xun You suddenly widened his eyes, the countless horses galloping in front of him, and the vast grassland made him mistakenly think that he had come to the grassland of the Northland.

"Is that a horse farm?"

"The racecourse?" The two uncles and nephews of Xun Yu stared at Su Fan with wide eyes, "My lord, what you mean is to build a racecourse here. How many horses are there in this racecourse?"

"Today there are almost 8 war horses"

Su Fan said with a smile, this is his greatest investment, and he has spent a lot of effort in building this racecourse. ,

For this meadow alone, he personally led a group of Taiping Dao masters to perform various spells, and slowly established millions of acres of grassland.

Hundreds of thousands of war horses can be bred at most.

"This is one-tenth of the imperial court back then."

Shenhan also had a horse farm back then, and there were millions of war horses raised there. Emperor Wu spent a lot of money to build this horse farm.

However, the establishment of the racecourse also brought him rich fruits, that is, they almost wiped out the Xiongnu barbarians.

As a counselor, Xun You's military insights are not bad. He knows that the Central Plains is very short of war horses.

The entire godly man, who has the strength of cavalry, is almost all from the Northland. Even the imperial court's imperial army does not have many elite cavalry.

As the trump card team, the cavalry played a very important role on the battlefield.

With [-] horses, at least a cavalry force of [-] can be formed.

He didn't know the quality of the horses in this racecourse, but he had seen the [-] cavalry under the Lord's command before, and those horses were all middle and high-grade horses.

Compared with the war horses on the grassland, they are not bad, but those knights are even more terrifying.

In Luoyang City, he had seen the cavalry of the imperial court's imperial army, and in terms of breath alone, they were not even as good as those under his lord's command.

Although Xun You is a scholar, he is quite interested in martial arts.

"There will be more and more warhorses in the future." Su Fan is confident that the current racecourse no longer needs to buy from Beidi, and there have been pony babies born in the racecourse in the past two years.

Over time, there will be more and more horses.

As they entered the territory of the East China Sea, Xun Yu and the others suddenly discovered that there were more and more villages and towns around here, even more than the villages and towns around Donghai County.

On both sides of the road, there are rows of houses, and the golden wheat in the distance makes Xun Yu feel a little dazed.

Haven't seen such a sight for many years.

Since the outbreak of the Yellow Turbans, when they went out to travel, all they saw were starvation and death in the wild, with bones in the wild.

Like now, they haven't seen each other for a long, long time.

It seems that only in the prosperous age, there are such scenes.

"My lord, are there many villages like this here?"

Xun Yu couldn't help asking.

"Haha! There are a lot of villages like this. Hundreds of households are gathered here to form a village. There are only thousands of villages like this."

"Thousands?"

"Doesn't that mean there are millions of people here?"

Xun Yu couldn't calm down anymore, he didn't expect his lord to establish such a big power in this wilderness.

It's like a county.

"It's more than a few million. Last year's census, my East China Sea Territory has a population of more than 100 million."

Because there is no shortage of food in his East China Sea Territory, the population is increasing extremely fast. In addition to natural growth, it is because of the displaced people displaced by the war, and the absorbed Yellow Turban people.

In particular, Guan Hai was still sending people from Qingzhou to him.

"so much?"

Xun You was also taken aback when he heard the words. The thirteen counties in Donghai County did not have as many populations as the Donghai Territory.

The area of ​​Donghai Territory is only one-third of Donghai County's, but Su Fan's productivity is extremely high, so naturally less people can support more people.
