Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 319 Liu Ye Visits
"Gongming, what's the arrangement for going to Jiangxia?"

"Returning to my lord, a total of 8000 people from the fire camp and the new barracks have been prepared. It is planned to set off from Xiapi in five days, and the food and grass with the army will be enough for one month. The Guangling navy has prepared 500 large ships. Transport 30 people, and there are thousands of small boats, each boat can transport 20 people." Xu Huang replied. "In addition, I have contacted Zhou Cai. About 5000 people are willing to move to Xuzhou by water, and another [-] people can go by land."

"20 people?" Zhou Cang frowned, it sounded like a lot, but not many. "Can you transfer in time?"

"I estimate that it will take at least three round trips to complete the transfer, which will take about one and a half months."

"One and a half months? It's too long, a month at the most. Those who don't have time will go by land, or borrow a boat from Jiangdong, and finish it within a month. By the way, I originally planned to let Zhou Ji go with you, because Gan Chi has business affairs and has already arrived at the Dabie Mountains." , let him and Zhou Cai assist you."

Zhou Cang asked again: "Chen Zhong, has the handover from Pengcheng been clear?"

"Return to the lord, it has been handed over clearly."

"Well, I appoint you to work in Guangling. You go to Guangling immediately to meet Yuanlong. One is to ask him to mobilize all the ships for the navy to transport immigrants, and the other is to work with Yuanlong to resettle these personnel, just like the pagoda was built in the past. The method is to build a settlement for every [-] people to meet their one-year supply. Although it is not necessary to give them fields, they cannot be allowed to raise them for nothing, to dry salt or build roads, or to work as coolies, etc. In short, they cannot be allowed to Idle, this person, the more they are raised, the more idle they become, the more idle they become, the lazy they become, and finally they become useless. So in addition to arranging work for them, let them choose their own leaders, manage themselves, and not mess up. After a year I'm still useful." Zhou Cang said slowly.

The resettlement and management of these people in the future must be prepared now. One settlement can form a county with the local people, which is equivalent to reserve [-] counties, that is to say, two counties with relatively sufficient population.For at most one year, Zhou Cang was eager to send these people to Liaodong immediately. "There are so many people added to the college, so the college has to do its best. I will talk to Sun Gan again and ask him to arrange for students to go to various residential areas to eliminate illiteracy and teach some skills and knowledge. This little thing can't help those students. Think of it as an internship and experience.”

"Yes, I'm leaving now." Chen Zhong replied.

Xu Huang breathed a sigh of relief, the lord only gave him one month, so it's not easy to complete it, if more ships can be recruited, there is still hope.

"I'm handing over the independent camp to you. You have to make more adjustments. I found that there are a few young people in it who are very smart but lack experience. You can listen to their ideas, but Gongming, you have to grasp the scale and don't let these young people People are dizzy."

"Yes, please rest assured, my lord."

"Patriarch, just got a tip that Cao Cao sent Liu Ye to Xuzhou, and now he has arrived in Pengcheng." Not long after Xu Huang and the others left, Zhou Chong came to report.

"Why send Liu Ye? Why Liu Ye?" Zhou Cang murmured.

"It is said that Xuzhou paid tribute to Jian'an paper, and the imperial court sent a reward, and brought several carts of silk and satin."

"Hehe, if you want to talk about the commendation, why don't you just hand it over to Cui Jun, and make another trip, obviously to spy on the news." Zhou Cang thought to himself: The reason why Cao Cao sent Liu Ye is because he brought Liu Ye with him. Arriving in Xudu, it is considered a good relationship, and it will not cause any misunderstanding. Cao Cao will choose someone.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Cang said, "Go and pass on my message, and ask Chen Jiao to come and meet me."

"Ah? Patriarch told him to go, nothing will happen, right?" Zhou Chong asked in surprise.

"It's great to send him there. He has no relationship with Liu Ye. Even if Liu Ye is ordered by Cao Cao, Chen Jiao can only talk superficially, not from the bottom of his heart. With the news of Chen Jiao, Liu Ye will not hesitate to go back. It’s easy to make a difference, so Cao Cao’s suspicion will not be so serious.” Zhou Cang looked at Zhou Chong as both a commentator and a professor of learning, and said: “Besides, Chen Jiao said, how Liu Ye can distinguish between serious and serious, we can take advantage of this opportunity. , to shift their focus. You go and send a message to the citizens so that they don’t have to wait any longer, and the army will start tomorrow. Hehe, how can Liu Ye not care about our army’s movements?"

"After following the Patriarch for more than ten years, Zhou Chong always felt that he only learned a little superficially, and even so, he benefited a lot. It's really beyond compare, ashamed, ashamed!"

"You want to ask for a beating. How can you be so hypocritical, hurry up and spread the word, arrange another manpower, keep an eye on them, no matter what they say or do, just write it down and report it to me, don't show any lies."

"Yes."

Watching Zhou Chong go out in a hurry, Zhou Cang touched his chin with a smile, the person he chose is really good!

"Mr. Zhou!" Liu Ye bowed deeply to Zhou Cang at the gate of the city. "Mr. Chen Jiao's company is all that's needed, so don't bother me to welcome you personally."

"Zi Yang is not an outsider. How can I not greet my old friend personally? Please, Mr. Zi Yang!"

"My envoy first please."

"Haha." Zhou Cang took Liu Ye's arm, "Let's go, let's have a good talk together. Once we leave Lujiang, we will have a rare chance to meet. Today I will let you taste my fine grape wine and Lanling fine wine."

Chen Jiao twitched in his heart. It turned out that Liu Ye and Zhou Cang had such a good relationship, and they were old acquaintances. Fortunately, he didn't say too much, especially some of his suspicions. If Liu Ye leaked it to Zhou Cang, his family The youngest just confessed, it seems that he was right to be cautious, and he needs to look more.Cao Cao originally planned to use the identity of Liu Ye and Zhou Cang's old acquaintance, but Zhou Cang used it instead.

Liu Ye felt helpless for a while, when did we become so familiar?Well, let's pretend together. "This time I came to Xuzhou to obey the emperor's edict, so that you can respect Jian'an paper, and the emperor is very happy, and reward you with a hundred pieces of silk and satin." Liu Ye said as he left.

"Of course, I am delighted with the gift from the Son of Heaven. I am even more delighted when Ziyang comes. The Master said: Is it not unreasonable to say that a friend comes from afar?" , as in Lujiang, call me Weiguo, I am not an outsider. I have hosted a banquet in the mansion to introduce you to the heroes of Xuzhou."

Liu Ye slandered for a while, when did you call you Weiguo?At that time, I was your prisoner, okay?After hearing this, Chen Jiao felt even more scared and rejoiced.

"On the way I came, I saw a large group of people leaving the city. The leader seemed to be General Xu Huang, and he also had luggage. Could it be that I came by accident, and there was a war in Xuzhou?"

"It's not really a war. In order to avenge his father, Sun Quan of Jiangdong wanted to send troops to Jiangxia, but he was afraid that Huang Zu would not be able to be wiped out, so he asked me to send troops together." Zhou Cang said casually, seemingly unguarded.
