My husband Zhuge Kongming

Seeing everyone's doubts, Huang Yueying nodded affirmatively.

A few years ago, she wanted to mess things up, but now, she has indeed changed the development of some people, but compared with the history, the difference is not too big.

Only now did she realize that the reason why she didn't succeed was still the gap in strength.

The difference between famous ministers and generals, and the difference in combat effectiveness of soldiers are all counted as part of the strength.

For example, when Liu Bei and Liu Bei wanted to welcome back the emperor and besiege Xuchang, Jia Xu's actions were unexpected but reasonable.

To get rid of this so-called reason, the only way is to directly defeat the opponent with a huge difference in strength.

If not, the strength is between equals, God... will help that lucky Boss Cao.

Now winter wheat and summer rice in Jingzhou have been promoted almost all over the territory, and the problem of food for the common people has been solved. At this time, it is reasonable to pile up industry and pile up military affairs.

Of course, if there is an opportunity, the relevant system must be changed.

"The emperor asked for help. Although Cao thief has an excuse, the emperor's seal cannot be faked. All parties have verified it. Presumably, he should have received a lot of statements." Huang Yueying looked at Liu Cong.

The latter nodded, "Yes, Jiaozhou, Hanzhong, and Yizhou have all expressed their views, saying that if they want to send troops to hunt down the thieves, they must lead them."

Huang Yueying then understood, and those who expressed their views... were mostly southern princes.

Those in the north may not be able to toss in Cao Cao's hands.

As for Jiangdong, Quan should turn a blind eye.

"It's still too little." Huang Yueying said, "It's because Jingzhou is still not strong enough."

"Insufficient strength?" Everyone was a little confused.

In their view, Jingzhou at this time can compete with Cao Cao for the emperor, so where is the lack of strength?
"It's not enough to deal with enemies from all directions at once." Huang Yueying continued.

Several people:……

"Ah Chu's thoughts... are too..." Liu Biao didn't know how to describe Huang Yueying's thoughts, but he always felt a little too naive.

After all, Jingzhou is only a state. Even with winter wheat and summer rice, it has enough confidence, but it is still too difficult to fight four.

"Achu means..." Kuai Yue frowned, "Because of the existence of the emperor's request for help, Jingzhou is orthodox, and it needs to frighten all parties?"

"Yes." Huang Yueying nodded.

The crowd fell silent.

That's right, that letter gave Jingzhou a fair chance.

But in the same way, it also pushed Jingzhou to the forefront: if you want to rebel against Cao, you have to start from Jingzhou.

But will the other forces around Jingzhou really accept Jingzhou?I'm afraid not at all.

"Then, how to develop yourself?" Liu Cong then asked an important point.

Huang Yueying let out a breath, someone finally asked the important point!She found that Liu Cong looked much more pleasing to the eye than before.

"Population, food, and soldiers."

Several people silently recited these three words.

We all know that in order to develop, we must encourage childbearing, we must increase our crops, and we must build more soldiers.However, it is quite difficult to actually implement it.

"The food issue can be regarded as a preliminary solution." Huang Yueying continued, "But the population, the land of one state... can't compare with several states in the north, and even if the four states of Jing, Jiao, Yang, and Yi are combined, the population is still not comparable to that of the north. By comparison, this means that... the supply of troops is not as sufficient as in the north."

"But after years of fighting in the north, there were not many casualties." Kuai Yue interjected.

"Yes, but it's not comparable to the South."

Everyone is silent.

They knew too well what Huang Yueying said was the truth.

"You can't be in a hurry. If you don't have ten years of hard work, I'm afraid you won't see results." Huang Yueying said again, "So, the only place we can work hard now is Bing Jia."

"Bingjia?"

"If there are sharper weapons and tougher armor, can the combat effectiveness of soldiers be improved?"

"That's natural, but iron ore is difficult to mine and utilize, and ironmaking is extremely labor-intensive and material resources." Cai Mao then shook his head.

Everyone knew what Huang Yueying meant, which was to increase investment in armor.

Huang Yueying sighed, sometimes, just to unify internal opinions is already extremely hard.

"If you want Jingzhou to go further, these are all necessary." So, she said this at the end.

If these people disagree, she has nothing to say, so she can only leave them alone... and grab Liu Bei to do this.

Above, Liu Biao frowned in thought.

Since the last accident, he has actually become less interested in the so-called Kuangfu Han family and the so-called struggle for the world.

He was still alive, and he felt that it was God's greatest tolerance for him.

In other words, he thought that, looking at it from another angle, the world...no matter who can unify it, they cannot abandon the Great Han Dynasty.On the contrary, if Jingzhou provokes the front, the world will actually become more unstable.

However, Jingzhou has already reached this point, and it has long been impossible to stop, and in the end, no matter whether Cao Cao or Jiangdong won the world, Liu Biao's family will not end well in the end.

So, he still has to move forward.

Ah Chu is right, the center of gravity of Jingzhou is still developing on its own.

So he nodded, "What Ah Chu said is very true, Yidu and Degui can discuss how much money will be added to the matter of Bingjia."

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao looked at each other and agreed.

In the end, Liu Biao is the shepherd of Jingzhou.

Furthermore, it would be of great benefit to both of their families that Jingzhou could go further.

They and Huang Yueying are in the same camp.

Seeing this, Huang Yueying breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Liu Biao did not back down at this time.

"Also, Ah Chu has another suggestion."

"Oh?"

"Similar to Qin Zhidao, build the gray road from Xiangyang to the counties, strengthen the control of the counties in the state, and also facilitate the speed of marching."

"Building roads?" Everyone was even more stunned.

And it is still repaired with green ash, how much will it cost.

"Uncle knows that the cost of firing green ash is not high, it just requires more effort." Huang Yueying looked straight at Liu Biao.

The latter nodded naturally.

Xiangyang also had a few gray ash workshops long ago, and he sent people to take care of them. It can be said that the firing of green ash is also a huge profit.

"But if we want to build so many roads, it will cost..." Cai Mao thought it was an astronomical figure after he calculated it casually.

Just asking the State Shepherd's Mansion to pay, I don't know how long it will take to fix it.

The most important thing is... the more money he spends on road repairs, the less he can get....

As a powerful general in Jingzhou, it was tacit understanding that he was paid by the army (empty), so he did not object to Huang Yueying's statement that he would increase investment in military armor.

And to build roads... This will inevitably reduce military expenditures.

Liu Biao also agreed with Cai Mao's point of view, shaking his head, "It's exhausting."

Huang Yueying then shared her idea of ​​cooperating with the aristocratic family to build roads, and everyone was taken aback.

For road construction, if the State Shepherd's Mansion pays for it, it will definitely not be enough.

But if you add the rich families from various families in Jingzhou... the money, you won't be so nervous.

"Besides, building roads requires manpower, and the common people must have wages when they work. When the common people have wages, they can buy food, cloth, or production tools. Taxes can be collected in the market, and the aristocratic families have more business. Why not for?"

Several people froze again.

This is indeed a closed loop.

The common people get their wages and have more capital to survive.

The aristocratic families also made money.

The state capital has collected taxes again.

It is good for several parties!
"Here, the amount of food and money consumed is so large. Why does the money and food seem to be increasing according to Ah Chu?" Liu Cong was puzzled.

Huang Yueying then smiled, Liu Cong's ability to ask this question was... beyond her expectation, so naturally, she began to answer it.

……

In a courtyard in Xiangyang.

A man put down the saber in his hand, wiped his sweat with the cloth towel prepared by the attendant, and then counted the days now, feeling bitter in his heart.

The situation is better than people.

He was on a mission on behalf of Jiangdong, but he had spent more than a month in Jingzhou, not to mention Liu Biao, and he hadn't even seen Liu Cong.

Fortunately, Sun Quan also sent envoys to Xuchang, otherwise... there would have been chaos.

"General, that Lord Chu An entered Xiangyang today."
