Wancheng has a long history. After King Wen of Chu won Nanyang, he established Wan County here and used it as a base for attacking the Central Plains.Wancheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on the other.The waterways in the territory extend in all directions, and the terrain is flat and rich in products.Definitely a place of wealth.Yuan Shu once stationed troops here, but because of Liu Biao's harassment, and in order to further attack the south, he abandoned this place and went to Yuzhou and Yangzhou.

Although today's Wancheng is the land of Jingzhou, there are no soldiers from Jingzhou.It was occupied by a group of Yellow Turban remnants from Yingchuan.After Gan Ning was ordered to protect the people and came to Wancheng, he sent troops to attack. In the first battle, he broke through the city and occupied Wancheng, and drove out the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers. The local people rejoiced.According to what Li Ru said, Gan Ning put up notices to appease the people, and sent troops to clean up the bandits all over the place. Within half a month, the surrounding area of ​​Wancheng was peaceful.

When Long Fei came back, Wancheng was already stable.Stepping into the subordinate yamen, the house is dilapidated, and the furniture inside is covered with dust.Long Fei heaved a sigh of relief, rolled up his sleeves and cleaned up by himself, and the generals behind him rushed to help.The crowd finally managed to find a place where they could set foot.

"Sit down! This will be our home from now on! Hehehe..." Long Fei looked around and smiled, "After traveling for a year, I finally have a place of my own! Everyone work hard, let's start from here , Let go of your hands and feet, and create a world of our own!"

Li Ru shook his head: "These are all things to say, what should we do now? After Yuan Shu and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, this place is devastated. Civil uprising, this is no joke!"

Hearing what Li Ru said, Long Fei also frowned.Maybe I'm okay with fighting wars, but I'm not good at dealing with these things.Besides, I have never seen how to deal with political affairs on TV.When the People's Liberation Army was conquering the world, it used the policy of beating local tyrants and dividing the land, but it didn't work in a short period of time. Winter is coming soon, and there will be food in the next autumn. How will the tens of thousands of people live for half a year? Method.Long Fei's eyes swept over everyone's face, obviously everyone was not good at it, and everyone bowed their heads in silence.

"How difficult is this! Re-dividing the unowned land, purchasing grain seeds from Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places, farming cattle, surviving this winter, and having wild vegetables for food in the next spring, with the wealth of General Long, these should not be difficult!" A middle-aged man in Tsing Yi stood at the door with his hands behind his back.He looked up at the plaque on the Wancheng Office at the gate.

"Xun Wenruo! Hahaha..." Guo Jia laughed loudly as he said, "With Xun Wenruo here, why should I wait? Hahaha..."

Long Fei had only heard of Xun You, Xun Yu, and Xun Zhan. He had no impression of this Xun Wenruo.But seeing Guo Jia like this, he guessed a little bit, hurriedly got up, and bowed deeply to Xun Wenruo: "Please teach me, sir, it counts as tens of thousands of people in Wancheng, Long Fei begs sir to help me!"

"Hahaha..., my lord, why be so polite!" Guo Jia laughed again: "This is the best student in Yingchuan Academy, I didn't expect the fourth chief to let him come, my lord is lucky! With Xun Yu here, we are waiting for you!" Little matters are nothing to worry about! Brother Wen Ruo, what do you think?"

Xun Yu shook his head: "Bong Xiao, Feng Xiao, your mouth is still the same!" After saying this, Xun Yu lifted his robe and knelt down to salute: "Xun Yu pays homage to the Lord!"

Long Fei hurriedly helped Xun Yu up.He was overjoyed, but he understood why Cao Cao was invincible among the Three Kingdoms.One of the main reasons is that there is Xun Yu who has been silently supporting him behind him.Although Xun Yu was not as resourceful as Guo Jia, nor as capable of commanding an army as the generals, he was invincible in internal affairs.This was the case with Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty. He won the trust of Liu Bang, and he made the most contribution when discussing meritorious deeds, and no one dared to argue with him.

With Xun Yu's help, the rest of the matter would be handled much easier.After Yuan Shu, the son of Wancheng, left, rich families moved out one after another. They either went to Xiangyang or followed Yuan Shu to Yangzhou, leaving behind only some poor people and beggars.Xun Yu collected a large amount of land left by the rich as the general's mansion, and made a new plan to distribute the land to the landless people, and the people of Luoyang and Chang'an who came with Long Fei.

He also asked Wang Wei to go to Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou and even Yizhou to buy a large amount of grain and cattle and distribute them to the people.In the name of the government, the people were requisitioned to rebuild Wancheng and the surrounding roads.Of course these are paid for.Xun Yu was quite puzzled by this approach.Long Fei said with a smile: "Wen Ruo, do you know the story of the food that comes from you?"

Xun Yu nodded.Long Fei went on to say: "If you don't eat the food you come from, you are a person with backbone. If you lose your backbone, you will not be a good soldier on the battlefield. What I do is to let the people of Wancheng have their own backbone!"

Not to mention Xun Yu, even Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Xu Shu didn't know what it had to do with expropriating people's wealth and making money.Long Fei glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "Think about it, if we just distribute food blindly, these people will think that the government will keep supporting them, and if they don't have the idea of ​​fighting hard, I'm afraid they won't be able to live well in the future. Now I give them money, let them sell food and meat from the government, and eat them at ease, because these are all earned by themselves, not from us, this is the difference!"

Guo Jia seemed to understand a little bit, and nodded slightly.Xun Yu asked again: "In this way, we will not only pay the people wages, but also give them food. Doesn't it mean that we have spent two more money?"

"Hahaha..." Long Fei laughed loudly: "If the article is wrong this time, the money can't be eaten or used. What's the use for the people to keep it? In the end, it's not used to buy food, to buy cultivated things, or to flow into it. In our hands, it is just a circle in the hands of the common people!"

"Oh...!" Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Guo Jia was the first to react: "In this way, not only will the common people have food, but they don't have to think of themselves as beggars. This is what the lord is talking about, right?"

"Feng Xiao is really smart!"

Guo Jia frowned and asked again: "Then the city wall is not endless. How will the people live when everything is over?"

"Feng Xiao is not a person who governs the country. When will the corvee in this government be over?" Zhong Yao, the captain of Sili, appeared at the gate: "After the city wall is built, the roads are built, and the roads are repaired before the government office is repaired. Then build the barracks, docks, warehouses, and the mansions of the adults and His Majesty's palace, when this corvee will never end, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the work I said in five or six years!"

"Hahaha..., my lord is really brilliant. By then, the people will already be self-sufficient, and our Wancheng will have a completely new look! Hahaha..." This was the first time Li Ru laughed so happily under Long Fei's sect.

Zhong Yao also came out of Yingchuan Academy, but he went to the court as an official earlier than others.Today he received a letter from the fourth chief, and he understood what the fourth chief meant, so he came to visit.As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard people discussing this matter inside. He admired Long Fei's way very much, and he heard the words from the happy place to remind him.Long Fei hurriedly asked Zhong Yao to come in.

After performing the necessary etiquette, Zhong Yao revealed the real purpose of coming here.He wanted to ask Long Fei how to arrange Xiandi Liu Xie.As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall.Although it is said that there is an emperor and the great help of Yingchuan Academy, but it is also a hot potato.A few days ago, Grand Tutor Ma Ridan gathered a group of ministers to make a fuss at Long Fei's residence. They had two conditions, first, to build a palace for His Majesty as soon as possible, and second, to let Long Fei hand over military power.

Long Fei didn't reply immediately, but only promised that the first one would be dealt with as soon as possible.The military power would not be handed over no matter what, even if Long Fei handed it over, the tens of thousands of people under him would not follow Liu Xie.However, there must be an excuse for not handing over military power.

Long Fei asked: "Master Zhong, what's your opinion?"

Zhong Yao looked around: "This Wancheng is originally a small city, and His Majesty's palace occupies a huge area, and it cannot be built in this city. In my opinion, Jiaxia is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery is beautiful, and it is the most suitable for building a palace. What do you think, the general?" ?”

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Jia is very good! Besides, the general can return to His Majesty, so let Your Majesty live in His Majesty Jia temporarily! In the spring of next year, I will immediately recruit civilian husbands to build a palace for Your Majesty!"

There are smart people here.Zhong Yao proposed to build a palace in Jiaxia. The purpose was very clear, that is, to drive Liu Xie out, but he could not break away from Long Fei's control. Jiaxia was located between Wancheng and Funiu Mountain, thirty miles away from Wancheng.If you want to go to Jiaxia, you must first pass Wancheng. Even if there is a sneak attack, the cavalry can arrive in half an hour.As far as Liu Xie is concerned, one is to keep a distance from Liu Xie, so as to avoid courtiers making troubles for no reason and get rid of the shackles of the emperor.

With Long Fei's promise, the courtiers finally became much quieter.Wancheng started slowly, and when Long Fei was free, he took Wang Qiang and the two children to the streets for a walk, firstly to observe the people's sentiments, and secondly to come out to get some air.After several months of repairs, the Wancheng city wall has begun to show its scale, and the city towers and female walls have also taken shape.The peasants are sweating profusely. They know that as long as they work hard, the government will give them money. With the money, they can buy food and live through their own lives.

Just arrived at the east gate and walked around, before going to the city, Gan Ning brought Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Pan Zhang frowning to find him.As soon as they met, they still said the same sentence: "Master, when will this navy be built?"

This was the biggest headache for Long Fei. Although he had money, he had obtained a lot of money from Yuan Kai and Dong Zhuo, but he couldn't afford to spend extravagantly.It took a lot of money to build the city wall, and it was necessary to build a palace in the spring. If this continued, for a few months, my family's wealth would be completely wiped out.Xun Yu had raised his opinion several times, Long Fei could only apologize and let Xun Yu bear it.At this time, Gan Ning wanted to build a navy, which made it difficult for Long Fei.

Long Fei said with a smile on his face: "Brother Gan, hehe, can you slow down the construction of the navy? We have just started in Wancheng, and there are many places to spend money. Now Wancheng is considered the edge of the Central Plains, and there are not many places to use the navy. , what do you think after a while?"

Gan Ning also knew Long Fei's difficulty, said: "Since this is the case, I have a way to make money, my lord, would you like to give it a try?"
