Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 351 Three Strategies
"Hehe, Ziming won't feel sad when Pingzhou Mu's mansion has become the governor's mansion." Zhou Cang said with a smile.

"Hey, how can I, Zhang Jiong, He De, dare to be called the state shepherd? My lord, don't make fun of me." Zhou Cang is now the Xuzhou shepherd, how can Zhang Jiong be the Pingzhou shepherd?There is no precedent in the Han Dynasty for one person to be the shepherd of two states. Even Yuan Shao is only the shepherd of Jizhou. "I think back when I was in Youzhou, I was living on the streets, how desolate I was, how could I have thought of today."

Zhou Cang looked at Zhang Jiong, yes, more than 20 years have passed, and Zhang Jiong is in his sixties, with wrinkles around his eyes and gray temples. "Are you still practicing Wu Qin Xi?"

"I'm practicing. I haven't broken it for several years. I feel that my bones are very good." Zhang Jiong smiled, "I heard from the master that Liaodong ginseng is a great tonic. I make up five yuan a month."

"Ah, at this age, you should be enjoying the blessings, but now you have to work hard. You have to be careful not to overwork and hurt your body. Although ginseng is good, don't use too much, such as deer antler and deer blood." Zhou Cang looked at Zhang. Jiong, "It's better to eat less."

"Don't worry, my lord, I know what I know." Zhang Jiong heard the meaning of Zhou Cang's words, and quickly changed the topic: "Occupy Liaodong, what will my lord plan to tell Cao Cao?"

"What can I say? After returning to Xuzhou, I will submit a form to the court. Not only will I invite you to be the governor of Pingzhou, but I will also invite Pei Yuanshao to be the general of Zhenbei. Even if Cao Cao doesn't recognize him, so what?" Zhou Cang asked back, routine The process still has to go.

It was easy to say, but Zhang Jiong knew it would never be that simple, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would definitely have to do something.However, my important task is to defend, consolidate and develop Liaodong. Since Zhou Cang didn't want to distract himself, he stopped asking.

Zhou Cang smiled and asked again: "Yuan Shao, did you still mention that you wanted to be a school captain?"

"My brother made fun of me again." Pei Yuanshao laughed.In round record, Pei Yuanshao is not as good as Zhang Jai, Xu Huang, or even Chen Dao and Qu A, but he has the highest official position. "General Zhenbei is exempted. I am satisfied to be General Pingbei." Pei Yuanshao directly demoted himself two ranks.

Zhou Cang nodded. It was indeed inappropriate for Pei Yuanshao to be promoted to General Zhenbei suddenly. How can he be rewarded in the future?What do the other generals think?Cao Cao's subordinates, Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, and Xiahouyuan did not get such high positions. How can these people swallow this breath?
"I'm going back to Xuzhou. The burden of Liaodong falls on you and Xingba. Today we mainly discuss the future development." Zhou Cang said. "We occupy Liaodong, and the most influential one is Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao is always on guard against Cao Cao. As long as we show disharmony with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao will not do anything. When Jinzhou City is completed, Liaodong will be in my hands. Wu Anguo You are calm and experienced, and it is easy to guard the door. Therefore, in the past two years, you have mainly developed vigorously, opened up wasteland and farmed, and increased the population. The north will be handed over to Bo Cai and Guan Hai, and gradually sweep away the aliens. After occupying an area, build cities and forts. Advance layer by layer, as long as you don’t go deep alone, you can rely on the city to defend. Xingba will reorganize the navy and build ships. I plan to continue marching southeast in two years and destroy Le Lang and Dong Yi. A large number of ships will be built to establish Liaodong The smooth transportation line with Dongnae ensures the delivery of soldiers and supplies."

"My lord is far-sighted, and Zhang Jiong admires him."

"Isn't there nothing wrong with me?" Pei Yuanshao asked.

"You have the greatest responsibility. Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated. Now there are only [-] soldiers and horses. You must always be vigilant not to be taken advantage of." Zhou Cang said seriously: "In the future, Liaodong will be our foundation, and we must be foolproof. With the backing of Liaodong, anyone who wants to deal with Xuzhou must think carefully."

"Isn't 3 people a bit small?" According to Pei Yuanshao's thinking, there must be [-] to [-] people.

"Soldiers do not lie in numbers but in quality. The source of soldiers is insufficient and the output is not enough. Now we can only maintain so many people. We will expand in two years. Don't forget that there are still 60 sailors." Zhou Cang said, "The information we got earlier Liaodong has a population of 56, but according to the latest statistics, it is actually only 20, and after 76 immigrants, it is only [-], which is still too small, and only a state with more than one million can be considered a real state.”

In history, Sima Yi crusaded against Liaodong, and the population of Liaodong was less than 10!
Zhang Jiong asked: "My lord resettled 3 people in Jinzhou and Xiangping respectively, how will the remaining 14 be resettled?"

Zhou Cang thought about it carefully, and said, "[-] people will be resettled in Lushun in southern Liaoning, [-] in Xiangping, and [-] in Xuantu."

Zhang Jiong asked strangely, "Why isn't my lord settled in Jinzhou?"

"Without city guards, emigration is useless. However, Jinzhou still needs to speed up the construction of the city and prepare a countermeasure." Zhou Cang pondered for a moment. "Jinzhou, I am most worried. The safety of Liaodong lies in Jinzhou. Before returning to Xuzhou, I will go to Jinzhou first."

"The garrisons in various places have been properly arranged, but there is a shortage of government officials. Wang Lie can also be in charge of the Department of Civil Affairs. In this way, including Chen Ying, the head of the Department of Civil Affairs, there are only two departments." Zhou Cang sighed. "The Department of Finance and Taxation will be concurrently held by Ziming temporarily, and he will take over when there is a suitable candidate. Chen Deng's condition has been relieved, and I transferred Chen Zhonglai to be the head of the Agriculture Department. Then I asked Zhou Chong and Zhou Xi to send people from the Secret Service Department and the Supervision Department. It is not under the jurisdiction of Pingzhou and reports directly to Xuzhou."

"Of course." Zhang Jiong nodded hurriedly.

In this way, the bureaucratic structure of Pingzhou is tentatively determined.

"Large-scale immigration has many affairs. Ziming should do a good job in the integration of immigrants and local people, and do a good job in housing construction and land division. He must not favor the one over the other. He should look for local talents and appoint them as officials. He can't use all Xuzhou people, which will chill the hearts of the local people. .”

"Yes, I have written it all down."

"Although Xuantu is now a military town, after the north is stabilized, you have to send officials, and then the military town will take Goguryeo to the northeast and use Goguryeo as a military town. By analogy, in short, it is based on Xuantu. Going north seems to want to conquer Xianbei, but it is only to establish a buffer zone of [-] miles. The real goal is Goguryeo.

Zhou Cang is completely thinking in leaps and bounds, talking about whatever comes to mind. "Liaodong College is the cornerstone of the development of Liaodong in the future. All expenses should be prioritized. I will inform Sun Gan and ask him to send two professors from each subject to give lectures. You should also search for local talents who do not want to be officials and invite them to give lectures. Advise the common people to send their children to colleges, and if they succeed in their studies, they can become officials in Liaodong, and even if they fail, they can learn more skills and have more ways to survive."

Zhang Jiong could fully understand that Zhou Cang first talked about political strategy, then military strategy, and then college, and the next step was to talk about economics. He still couldn't understand Zhou Cang's economic philosophy. "My lord, should I call Su Yang?"

"Huh?" Zhou Cang was taken aback, "Yes, Sun Da hasten to call Su Yang."
