Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 472 Crops

The days of sneaking in while busy are the happiest. The struggle between Cao Cao and Sun Quan cannot be disputed. Only Zhou Cang in Xuzhou watched the fun leisurely.

Watching the excitement also requires strength and capital. Zhou Cang just has the strength and capital. Xuzhou, Pingzhou, and Jeju are in his hands. There are generals, 20 land and water soldiers, and 300 cavalry.In the past few years, God has given special blessings, the weather has been favorable, and the grain production has continuously hit new highs. Of course, Mi Fang, Mi Zhen, and Ge Jun are also responsible for this.The trading of commercial houses was in full swing. Jian'an paper, fruit wine, salt, and furniture were exported, but in exchange for food, silk, medicinal materials and other strategic materials.Iron, coal, and timber from Liaodong were continuously transported to Xuzhou, and cloth, ceramics, and various tools from Xuzhou were transported back to Liaodong, and everything was in good shape.The biggest regret is that the three states only have [-] million people, which is not as good as the one state of Jingzhou.

In September, Pei Yuanshao sent Duan Muling back to Xuzhou to report that the Liaodong army wiped out Fuyu in a destructive manner. King Fuyu bound Goguryeo King and asked to surrender, but was beheaded by Guan Hai.Afterwards, Qu'a marched into Sushen, and Guan Hai beheaded tens of thousands of people, piled up into a Jingguan, and people gave him the nickname "Rentu". Everyone in northern Xinjiang was frightened when they heard Guan Hai's name, and Boba also beheaded more than [-] people.The remnants of Su Shen fled into the white mountains and black waters, lingering on their last breaths.According to Zhou Cang's deployment, Fuyu and Sushen merged, neither a state nor a county, called Jilin, which was attached to Beiting Duhufu, not under the rule of Liaodong.Zangba moved the Duhu Mansion to Jilin, and the government was named Changchun, and Goguryeo was handed over to Pingzhou, which became a county named Fushun.

Qu'a retreated to Xuanzhe, preparing to conspire against Xianbei; Zangba stopped expanding externally, and devoted himself to clearing up internal troubles, clearing up the remnants of Sushen, and developing agricultural production.Zangba evacuated Fushun again. Zhang Jiong had no choice but to piece together [-] households from various counties and move them to Fushun. Chen Zhong became the prefect.Finally, Pei Yuanshao wanted his son Pei Feng to serve in the army.

Pei Feng was 16 years old, and it was time to enter the army. Zhou Cang also understood that Pei Yuanshao was stimulated by seeing Boba, and Pei Yuanshao sent Duanmuling to deliver the letter, which meant that Duanmuling didn't need to return to Liaodong.Zhou Cang is very satisfied with the progress of Liaodong, both in terms of time and results. The northern strategy can be postponed. Power is hard to match, but Zhou Cang will not lose his national power, he has another clever plan, it will take time.Chen Zhong, the earliest entourage to follow him, has changed from a servant to a prefect, which can be regarded as a good destination, perfecting the master and servant.

Growing up together with Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang naturally knew what he was thinking. Not only Pei Feng, but Zhou Cang also transferred a hundred students from the academy to Liaodong.Of course, half of them were for Jeju, and Duanmuling succeeded Yang Rui as the head of the state pastoral office.After Zhou Cang's trials, a confidential secretary is still necessary. Although Duanmu is a bit unsteady, Ling is quick-witted and full of tricks, and he can be trained and exercised by his side.Deng Ai is more suitable for commanding the army, so he participates more in the staff department.Dianman is heartless, he just protects Zhou Cang's safety, and ignores the others.

It has been nearly half a year since Gan Ning dispatched troops in March, and there has been no latest battle report.Mi Fang from Jeju sent back two reports. One was that when Xu Shu arrived in Busan, he began to reorganize the immigrants, divide them into villages and counties, and organize people to elect and study. Mi Fang praised Xu Shu's ability. An important guarantee for Xu Shu's talents to be displayed.Second, Mi Fang has started selling spirits to the grasslands. It should be said that it is inferior wine, and the supply of even inferior wine is in short supply. Due to the limited grain production, Mi Fang dare not let go of production.

Food, in addition to population is food.Zhou Cang now knows how scarce food is. Only then did he realize how rare the crops are in the Central Plains. Millet, millet, buckwheat, and beans are the main crops. Under Zhou Cang's vigorous promotion, wheat and rice can be widely planted.Are there any sweet potatoes?Are there any potatoes?Is there any corn?nothing!Really not, if there are these kinds of high-yield crops, Zhou Cang will be proud of the world.

There is not even sorghum. Isn't soybean sorghum everywhere in the Northeast?Zhou Cang suspected that it might be because the Northeast was not developed, so the sorghum was still wild and had not been planted, so he wrote back to Mi Fang, describing the shape and appearance of the sorghum, asking him to look around, and telling Mi Fang that sorghum was very suitable for planting in the Northeast, and he could try it. And it is also an excellent raw material for wine making.

As long as the purpose of sending troops to the Japanese country is to obtain silver mines and labor, but it also makes him unable to participate in the struggle between Cao and Sun, whether the timing of sending troops to the Japanese country is appropriate? Deng Ai discussed, and the last few people agreed that it was the safest thing to send troops to the Wa Kingdom, and some opportunities might be missed, but in the long run, Liaodong is more stable.Zhou Cang once thought that if he could gain a firm foothold in Yingzhou, he could cross the Pacific Ocean to the Americas and build his own country in the Americas. At least to see if there were sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn in the Americas. If not, he would have to go to Africa.In the founding of the Americas, Zhou Cang just thought about it, the road was too dangerous, and few people would follow him.Let this glorious and great task be entrusted to Gan Xiang.

The war in northern Xinjiang went smoothly. In order to speed up the occupation of Yingzhou, Zhou Cang ordered Liu Zhi to lead a battalion eastward to reinforce Ganning.

Lu Xun moved the Lu family to Xuzhou, so Zhou Cang stopped hiding and explained all his Liaodong strategy to Lu Xun. The more Lu Xun listened to it, the more frightened he became, and he lamented Zhou Cang's grand plan, and lamented himself It is a bit ignorant and ignorant in Jiangdong. If you have the opportunity, you must go to Liaodong to take a look, but in Lu Xun's heart, he still regards the Central Plains as the core.

As for Cao Cao ordering Zhao He to supervise the Fourth Army to monitor Xuzhou, Lu Xun thought it was normal, and Cao Cao would be tricky if he didn't guard against Xuzhou.If Cao Cao defeated Jiangdong, the next step would be to target Xuzhou, and Xuzhou's soldiers are well-trained and well-equipped. Lu Xun has reason to believe that Zhou Cang has the strength to unify the world.If Cao Cao is defeated, the situation will fall into chaos and there will be many variables.Therefore, Lu Xun has reservations about sending troops to the Japanese country. Lu Xun believes that neither participating in the battle of Cao and Sun, nor rushing to conquer the Japanese country, but to develop Xuzhou and Liaodong. It seems beneficial to go to the Japanese country, but it will cause the already sparsely populated Xuzhou diverted again. At the same time, Lu Xun also believed that he would not participate in the Cao-Sun battle now, but he had to adapt to the situation of the two sides.

Liu Bei fled to Xiakou, and both Lu Xun and Zhou Wen felt that this was a military force that could not be ignored, and it might become a surprise army.
