Shuhan

Chapter 423 Public opinion arose, soaring food prices!

After Deng Ai left.

Liu Chan also met Ah Huinan.

Jiaozhou was also a place Liu Chan fought for.

In other words, it is an important chess piece for Liu Chan in the world chessboard.

Jiaozhou has seven counties under its jurisdiction, namely Nanhai County, Cangwu County, Yulin County, Jiaozhi County, Hepu County, Jiuzhen County and Rinan County, which roughly includes the current Guangdong Province, Guangxi Province and part of Vietnam.

War broke out frequently in the Central Plains, but Jiaozhou prospered under Shi Xie's governance.

The reason is naturally very simple.

The Central Plains was swept by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, causing some people to flee to Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou.

As a result, Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Yangzhou were also unsettled.

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Sun Ce crossed eastward, the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Ruxukou, and the Battle of Hefei.

In the land of hundreds of battles, many common people and nobles rushed to flee to the stable Jiaozhou.

"The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms·Shi Xie's Biography": Xie was a generous person and a humble corporal. Hundreds of Chinese scholars took refuge there.

"Three Kingdoms·Xu Jing's Biography": Sun Ce crossed the river eastward, and all went to Jiaozhou to avoid danger. Jing sat on the edge of the cliff, carried his followers first, and then left from behind. As soon as he arrived at Jiaozhi, he was treated hospitably and respectfully by Shixie, the prefect of Jiaozhi.

"Three Kingdoms·Cheng Bingzhuan": After arresting Zheng Xuan, he avoided Luanjiao Prefecture, discussed the great righteousness with Liu Xi, and then became knowledgeable in the Five Classics. Shi Xie's life is a long history.

Precisely because of the large number of immigrants, the number of people under Jiaozhou's rule not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

For example, Nanhai County in Jiaozhou had only 20,000 households and less than 100,000 people in the Western Han Dynasty. However, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number of households increased to more than 70,000 households and 250,000 people.

This is doubled.

This is in sharp contrast to the current situation in the Central Plains counties where ten rooms are empty and the number of people is greatly reduced.

"How is the situation in Jiaozhou?"

Ah Huinan was not wearing a battle armor, just a thick piece of regular clothes.

But on his calf-like figure, no matter how big the clothes were, they looked small.

A Huinan had been told by Ma Liang a long time ago. Now when he heard Liu Chan's question, he immediately said: "The turmoil in Yulin County has been calmed down. Many Jiaozhou scholars have come to join them. The scholar family is quite obedient and has It’s not a hindrance, but Jiaozhou is a barbaric land after all, filled with miasma and very humid, so even the last general in Nanzhong didn’t feel that uncomfortable.”

Compared to Nanzhong, Jiaozhou is further south.

The reason why ancient people did not develop the south was because of the climate.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the desert in the north was now a vast land, not to mention the climate in the south.

"When we arrived at Yulin County, we didn't lose much of our troops when we killed the enemy. Instead, we got sick from the fever and many people died."

One side raises one person.

It is still possible to encounter things that are not acclimatized.

The good ones will get seriously ill, and the bad ones will simply die in a foreign country.

"I heard that there are a lot of good things in Jiaozhou. I wonder if they are also available in Yulin County?"

Ah Huinan said truthfully: "There is a silver mountain, and there are many other mountain treasures."

Liu Chan nodded.

Apart from the miasma soldiers, Jiaozhou is actually a good place.

Once it is well managed, it can be used as an outpost for exploring Southeast Asia!

"I heard that every time Xie sent envoys to visit the power, they brought out thousands of fragrant kudzus, pearls, shells, strays, emeralds, tortoise shells, rhinoceros and elephant treasures, and rare things and fruits, including bananas, evil and longan. The one who belongs to me will come every year. This year, won’t Shi Xie send me something good?”

From the moment Liu Chan intervened in Jiaozhou affairs, he began to send signals to the scholar family.

What's the point of relying on Sun Quan?

That Sun Quan is just a little loser in front of me, a big man.

If you want to rely on me, you should also rely on me, the big man.

Liu Chan didn't have much time to give Shi Xie.

If he was ignorant, Liu Chan would not mind overthrowing the rule of the Shi family in Jiaozhou and replacing him with someone more obedient.

In fact, many people in Jiaozhou have come to contact him secretly.

of course

If the Shi family had been obedient, Liu Chan would not have chosen to go to this step.

After all, the Shi family's rule in Jiaozhou is deeply rooted, and if they want to replace it, it will naturally cost a lot of money. "Some people from the scholar family sent people to bring them rare treasures. I heard that they are the same as those given to the state of Wu."

This means stepping on two boats and investing from both sides!

Liu Chan nodded.

"The Shi family still focuses on appeasement. You went from Yulin County all the way to Jiangling. What did you see on the way to the three counties in Jingnan?"

Ah Huinan said immediately: "The road is empty, there are not many people, and many fields are deserted."

Most of the people in the three counties of Jingnan have been moved to Jiangling. It is normal for there to be a small number of people.

"Are there bandits causing trouble?"

"When the general's army arrives, no one with a blind eye dares to cause trouble. As for whether there are bandits, I don't know."

Bandits have always bullied the weak.

As for the army, they definitely wouldn't dare to deal with it.

But the army doesn't dare to fight. If others go, such as caravans, that's not necessarily the case.

"I have been in Yulin County for more than a year. How can I still order this useless flying army to stay?"

Liu Chan suddenly asked.

Wudang Feijun still ordered him to stay?

Ah Huinan immediately slapped his chest heavily with his fist and said, "You can command like an arm!"

"it is good!"

Liu Chan nodded heavily and said: "There are already many barbarians in Gong'an County. The Wudang Feijun has 15,000 people. The Changsha barbarians and Wuling barbarians combined have 15,000 people. These 30,000 Man, if you practice for me during this period, it will be of great use later!"

Ah Huinan had long been tired of living in the mountains of Yulin County all day long.

Now that he can fight, he is naturally happy.

"The general will definitely live up to His Highness's high expectations and train these brats hard. When he encounters Wu soldiers later, he will kill them without leaving a trace!"

"If I can achieve success in this battle, I might as well find a prince!"

What an honor it was for a barbarian to be granted the title of Marquis in the Han Dynasty. When Ah Huinan heard the word "Marquis", his breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will definitely make great achievements and live up to Your Highness's expectations!"

Ah Huinan's passion was ignited, and Liu Chan nodded with satisfaction.

"Have a good time training, and you will have many opportunities to make achievements in the future!"

Ah Huinan left the Jiangling Xingyuan study with an excited look, but Liu Chan's eyes became dark.

"The news of the alliance between Han and Wei has been spread to Jiangdong. I want to see if Sun Zhongmou can still sit still?"

Zhou Che's face tightened.

If Han and Wei were really in alliance, what would the current Wu State do to fight against it?

Be timid before fighting.

This was obviously a huge blow to Wu Guo.

Some news spreads very slowly.

But some news spreads very quickly.

Jiangling is in the upper reaches, while Jianye is in the lower reaches of the river.

Under the careful message delivery of Jian Junsi.

Only three days.

News of the alliance between Han and Wei spread among the people of Jianye.

Suddenly, the public opinion that had been suppressed by Sun Quan suddenly resurged.

The price of food in Jianye also began to soar uncontrollably.

There’s another chapter tonight!
