My husband Zhuge Kongming

With Zhou Yu's plan, Sun Quan's mood immediately cleared up. Then, he only had to wait for the opportunity for Cao and Liu to start the war.

"This time, Gongjin has really worked hard."

Thinking of this, Sun Quan bowed to Zhou Yu seriously.

It is really rare that Zhou Yu still refuses to give up when Sun has reached this point.

Zhou Yu ducked sideways and his eyes averted slightly.

Originally, in Huang Yueying's plan, it would be a few years later for the southern states to promote the system of planned land transfer.

But unfortunately, Cao Cao made the situation between the two sides reach this point.

As a last resort, Huang Yueying had to change her plan and give priority to the promotion of planned farmland in southern states to encourage population development.

This system is indeed very suitable for this era.

After all the tenants and hermits who are not listed in the state and county household registers and are dependent on aristocratic families are released, the benefits of peace of mind will be really exciting.

In the past two years, in this half of Wu County, the number of people who died due to famine and military disasters has been much lower than in previous years, while the number of newborns has doubled.

With sufficient food supply, ordinary people have the conditions and courage to survive, and many people even have an extra vision for the future.

Coupled with Sun Quan's restraint on the county magistrates under his rule, half of the county was already in a prosperous age.

This situation was what Sun Ce and he had been looking forward to for many years.

The more he saw that the people of Wu County were living well, the more he felt guilty towards Sun Quan, because what he was planning was no longer just for the Sun family.

I just hope that Sun Quan won’t blame him when the time comes.

"It's just my responsibilities." Zhou Yu shook his head.

On the side, Lu Xun frowned. He always felt that Zhou Yu seemed to have a lot of words unsaid.

Of course, he did not ask further questions because he did not think Zhou Yu would be detrimental to the Sun family.

"What about the requirements from the north?"

"I naturally agreed and asked them to provide more resources for support."

"it is good."

In a certain courtyard.

After Cao Pi came back, he sat in the courtyard and looked at the spring scenery in the south. It was indeed earlier than in Yecheng.

The land south of the Yangtze River is actually quite suitable for living, not as dry as Yecheng.

His visit to Wu County this time, apart from forcing Sun Quan to send troops to attack Jingzhou, naturally had another purpose, which was to win over talents.

The aristocratic families in Wujun also had their teeth pulled out by Sun Quan.

If you want to restore your past glory, you have to find a place to serve as an official, so many people go to Xuzhou.

But Xuzhou is not as charming as the "eldest son" of the prime minister.

Moreover, both he and Cao Cao really need fresh talents.

After all, the battle with Liu Bei can never be decided in a short time.

He knew very well what his father was thinking. In the battle to welcome the emperor, Liu Bei must be given power, otherwise, the future of the Cao family would be slim.

And he also needs to perform well in this battle to ensure that his position will not be threatened by other brothers.

"Sir, all the invitations have been sent."

"Well, don't make any mistakes in the future."

"promise."

Seeing the appearance of the attendant, Cao Pi nodded slightly and felt relieved.

the other end.

Lu Xun returned home from the Prefectural Mufu and saw Lu Ji, who had been waiting for him.

In the past few years, Lu Ji also followed him and became an official under Sun Quan. However, his position was relatively marginal, so it was much easier than him.

"Bo Yan, someone sent you an invitation today." Seeing Lu Xun return, Lu Ji handed over the invitation.

Lu Xun took it, opened it and raised his eyebrows slightly. Mr. Cao did not hide his ambition at all, "Uncle, are you going?"

When Lu Ji heard this, he smiled and said, "It's okay to go and see him. I heard that Cao Pi is also talented in literature. Spring is just around the corner, so he may be able to write some good articles."

Lu Xun frowned. He and Lu Ji were originally from the same school.

If Lu Ji turned to Cao Cao, his position under Sun Quan would be embarrassing.

Of course, if the Lu family wanted to remain prosperous, it would be a good idea for Lu Ji to choose Cao Cao.

"Xun understands, but in the future, Xun will have a lot of official duties and won't have time."

"That's a pity." Lu Ji still smiled, "Ji heard that Cao Pi sent invitations to all the major families in Wu County as well as many civil servants and generals."

Lu Xun was slightly stunned, "Civil ministers and military generals?"

"Yes." Lu Ji nodded, "The prime minister's ambition is not small."

Lu Xun's face became much more serious.

If he only extended invitations to the children of aristocratic families, he could still think that Cao Pi wanted to recruit some talents.

But even the generals have received invitations. The prime minister may have other ideas.

"Someone from Zhou Mu will report this matter soon, so Boyan doesn't have to worry."

State Shepherd House.

Sun Quan's face was sullen and his brows were furrowed.

He was a little confused by Cao Pi's actions.

His Sun family only has half of Wu County left, and the civil servants and military officers who are still in his hands today are, without exception, extremely loyal to the Sun family.

He didn't think that just one banquet would make his ministers defect to Cao Pi. So, what was Cao Pi's purpose?

"Go, tell a few generals, and let's go down first to see what Cao Pi is up to."

"promise."

Two days later.

Cao Pi looked at Sun Quan's civil servants and generals, and at the talented people from the Jiangdong land, with a smile in his eyes. He raised his wine glass and said, "I am really surprised that you all can come today. It's a pity that Pi has no chance to see Wen Tai." The Duke and the Marquis of Wu are together."

One sentence made the Jiangdong generals present almost burst into flames.

At this time, a young general chuckled and said, "If Mr. Pi wants to see them, that's easy."

Cao Pi smiled and narrowed his eyes, looking at the general, "Oh?"

"I have a three-foot green blade in my hand, which can help the young master." The general said with a smile again.

The sound of needles could be heard in the stadium.

Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. This general was quite courageous.

Knowing that he is the prime minister's son, he can still say such things.

"Everything in the world is good, but Pi can't bear to part with it." Cao Pi said with a smile, "Besides, the world is still uncertain, so how can Pi have the face to meet them? I wonder what the general would call them?"

"Lü Meng." The young general replied calmly, and then added, "Meng didn't know that Mr. Pi also has such aspiration. It is really rare."

Cao Pi narrowed his eyes. This guy really didn't know how to restrain himself at all.

However, judging from his aura, he is quite a character.

"I believe most of you here have such an ambition. However, Liu Bei is so powerful now that you all have to huddle in this half of the county. I don't know when the hatred between Duke Wen Tai and the Marquis of Wu will be avenged."

At this time, none of the veterans like Sun could sit still.

It was a slap in the face for Sun Jian and Sun Ce to have outsiders remind them of their feud.

"Zhou Mu is just waiting for the opportunity. There is no need for Mr. Cao to remind him." A veteran said solemnly.

"When will it be Mr. Cao's turn to make the decision regarding Jiangdong's affairs?" Someone else said.

"Mr. Cao, it's better to worry about your father!"

The venue was quiet again.

Although they were unhappy with Cao Pi talking about the dead here, it still took a lot of courage to say this.

Then he followed the reputation and found it was Lu Meng.
