Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 229 There are gold mines there

Xuzhou glowed with vitality, and the years of war finally came to an end. The economic and ideological monopoly of the gentry was broken. Under Zhou Wen and Zhang Jiong's intentional or unintentional promotion, Zhou Cang's reputation grew day by day.Although Zhou Cang wanted to downplay his own influence, the common people still believed that Zhou Cang brought it. The students of the Academy of Arts and the Academy of Arts even regarded Zhou Cang as a contemporary model, and even the style of writing in Xuzhou changed.

The scale of Zhou Chong's intelligence department is growing day by day, sending all kinds of intelligence information to Zhou Cang continuously, and the battle report of the Battle of Guangling is placed on Zhou Cang's desk.

The staff meeting composed of Zhang Ja, Zhou Wen, and Zhang Jiong has been in place for some time, and the topic of discussion today is how to send troops to assist Cao.

Zhou Cang cleared his throat, "Everyone has read the battle report ten years ago. Yuan Shao has already started to gather troops to go south. At that time, everyone felt that in order to prevent Sun Ce from going north, it was not appropriate to send troops. Five days ago, Sun Ce received the Lujiang battle report, and Sun Ce indeed sent troops, but was blocked in Lujiang , The newcomer Chen Deng sent the battle report in Guangling yesterday, smashing Jiangdong soldiers and horses, beheading nearly 3000 people, and surrendering [-] people. Hehe, the little overlord has stumbled."

"It's still Master Huiyan, who beat him first, then reused Chen Deng, and Gan Ning shined even more. Congratulations, Lord, you have won a talented person and a good general." Zhou Wen flattered him.

"Yuan Fang, how many times have I told you, don't say compliments."

"My lord, what Yuan Fang said was not a compliment, we are all proud to be under the lord's command." Zhang Jiong took another photo without showing any weakness.

"Stop." It's not that Zhou Cang doesn't like to listen, he's afraid that he will get used to it after listening too much, and even get stuck. "Junyi, Sun Ce's vitality can be said to have been seriously injured this time. Even though he has a feud, he will not be able to go north in a short time. Pei Yuanshao has already taken down Chengyang. How do you think we should use our troops?"

"My lord, Zang Ba has sent troops from Taishan County to Qingzhou to hold Yuan Tan back. I think Zang Ba's troops may not be enough to deal with Yuan Tan. If we send troops directly to assist Cao Cao, there will be a lot of casualties. Why don't we continue to attack Beihai and Donglai?" , to force Yuan Tan to divide his forces and reduce Zang Ba's pressure, so that Yuan Tan will not be able to attack Yanzhou, which can be regarded as subtracting an enemy for Cao Cao. If we win two counties, it will be of great benefit to Xuzhou." Zhang Jaw said.

"Are you afraid that Pei Yuanshao will not have enough troops?"

Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Didn't the Guangling battle report say that more than 3000 surrendered soldiers will be admitted? Why don't they be incorporated into the Shuizi camp on the spot, and then transfer veterans from the Shuizi camp to Pei Yuanshao."

Zhang Jiong, who was in charge of the official affairs department, said: "There is another matter. After Pei Yuanshao took down Chengyang, he recommended two people to the official affairs department. One was Guoyuan from Qingzhou, a disciple of Zheng Xuan who had just returned home after avoiding the war in Liaodong, and the other was Beihai A native of Wu Anguo, he was once a general under Kong Rong. After Kong Rong was expelled from Beihai by Yuan Tan, he lived in Chengyang. The Department of Civil Affairs is currently investigating."

Zhou Cang just wanted to say that there is no need for censorship. These two are great talents, one is a management expert and the other is a fierce general. Thinking about it, he still can't break the process, and it seems that he is too bossy.In addition, I know that Wu Anguo is a person who was able to fight Lu Bu and survived, but others don't know.

"Then review it as soon as possible. Pei Yuanshao's vision should not be bad, and Zheng Xuan's high school students will not be in vain. How about this, if there is no problem with the review, the Secretary of Civil Affairs will issue an order, and Guoyuan will temporarily lead the prefect of Chengyang. The Secretary of Soldiers and Horses will issue an order, To form the Wooden Camp, some will be transferred from the Water Camp, and the other part will be recruited locally, and the camp will be named Qingmu."

"This? Wu Anguo is the general of the first battalion when he first came here?" Zhang Jai hesitated a little. He didn't doubt Zhou Cang's vision, but he was afraid that everyone would not accept him.

Well, I was still careless, Zhou Cang hurriedly rounded up the words. "I understand what Junyi means, so I didn't appoint Wu Anguo, but just asked him to form the wooden battalion. We are still short of the wooden battalion among the five battalions, so we will set it up first, and then appoint the chief general later depending on the situation. "

Everyone understands that the commander of the first battalion is undoubtedly the best candidate for the main general, but Zhou Cang's words are also reasonable, and how can he return his heart if he doesn't use Wu Anguo again.

Zhou Cang said again: "From now on, the battalion leaders will not be fixed. The soldiers and horses will come up with a charter. Every three or five years, the battalion leaders will be exchanged. When swapping, they can only take away one guard."

"My lord is wise!" The three said in unison. This is a good idea, and it can effectively prevent each battalion from becoming the lord's personal soldiers.

"In this way, Pei Yuanshao will have two battalions of soldiers and horses, and the first battalion of Wu'anguo as a backup. Nearly 2 people will restrain Yuan Tan. It won't be a problem. Do you want to go to Donglai or Beihai first, my lord?" In other words, there is not much difference in sending troops.

"Donglai!" Zhou Cang salivated, "According to my father, there are gold mines in Donglai!"

"Ah?" The three were surprised, "Really, how many?"

Zhou Cang knew that there were large gold mines in Zhaoyuan and Laizhou, and they were still mining until his time. "It will definitely not be less. We are short of money now. If we can have gold mines, hehehe."

Zhou Cang's current appearance is really beyond compliment.

"Only a few of us know about this matter. An order was sent to Pei Yuanshao to take down Donglai with all his strength, and then defend the blockade. Zhou Ji and Zhou Xiang had stayed with Liu Li, and they knew a little about the art of geomantic omen, and then they started from the camp and the academy. Pick some people who know how to find ore and smelt." Zhou Cang's words were a bit messy, but everyone understood what he meant, and they were used to his expression.

"Let Zhou Ji be in charge of mining, and Zhou Xiang be in charge of smelting."

"The gold mining is under the Department of Finance and Taxation, or a commercial firm, or a general operation?" Zhou Wen asked.

Alas, knowledge is not enough, Zhou Cang sighed, there is no management science in the book knowledge for college entrance examination.After thinking about it, I came up with an idea: "Establish a military supply department to take charge of all mineral resources, provide equipment for the soldiers and horses, and manage generals and mining camps. Su Shuang was transferred to the head of the military supply department, and Zhang Jin and Su Yang took over. Chamber of Commerce affairs, one is internal and the other is external. In addition, the Intelligence Department and the Supervision Department must strengthen the supervision of the Military Supply Department, one is to prevent leaks, and the other is to prevent self-theft.”

"That's very good. The Secretary of Civil Affairs will draft the document." Zhang Jiong said.

"My lord, let me ask again. Should the mining proceeds be handed over to the Finance and Taxation Department, or?" Zhou Wen asked again.

Zhou Cang felt his head was a bit big, Zhou Wen's don't drive is very competent, and his questions are also very sharp.

"After deducting wages, materials and other costs, the mining income will be handed over to the Finance and Taxation Department, which will be dispatched uniformly by the Finance and Taxation Department. Other departments will need to use it from the Finance and Taxation Department. The same is true for chambers of commerce. The Supervision Department must verify the income and expenditure."

"There are many places where money is used, but the Department of Finance and Taxation must give at least [-]% to the college every year, and the departments should not compare each other."

"It should be so." Everyone already knew the importance of the academy.

Zhou Cang is already [-]% satisfied with the current Xuzhou, if he insists on being [-]% he would be eager for quick success and quick benefits.The people of his subordinates belong to him, and his strength is his greatest reliance. The wealth and auspiciousness of the six people, as well as the growth of young people such as Zhang Jin and Su Yang, have provided Xuzhou with motivation.
