Paper is convenient for writing, light and easy to collect, and is deeply loved by officials.

Taishan paper, toilet water, and Taishan glass began to be sold.

With the exchanges of merchants all over the world, Fenggao City became more and more prosperous.

At the same time, Liu Xi began to recruit civil and military talents again.

For those talents who will shine in the future, Liu Xi had ordered Liu Lu to make friends.

However, there was no foundation of its own at that time, and it was impossible to recruit.

Now that there is a county, it is finally reluctant to have a foundation.

So Liu Lu started running around with Liu Xi's letter again, recruiting heroes.

Over the past year, Taishan County has developed rapidly, and at the same time, the number of talents under Liu Xi has gradually increased.

Although most of the recruits are middle and low-level talents, there are also three high-end talents.

Literacy and martial arts.

Wenchen was Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, a descendant of Emperor Guangwu, a native of Chengde in Huainan.

In terms of bloodline, he is far closer to the royal family than Liu Xi, a true descendant of the clan.

Liu Ye is slick, resourceful, has the potential to be a super-class scribe, and is good at inventing and creating instruments.

After his arrival, he proposed a variety of novel ideas, and combined with Ma Jun to invent and transform several military equipment, adding [-]% ​​of the combat power to Liu Xi's soldiers.

The words of the generals are Taishi Ci and Yu Jin.

Taishi Ci is a brave general in the world, with the potential of a super-first-class general.

When he was living in Liaodong in the early years, Liu Xi had written correspondence with him, and he often sent people to visit his old mother, asking him for help, which moved Taishi Ci very much.

So after returning to his hometown of Qingzhou, he received a letter of solicitation from Liu Xi, and without hesitation, he went over immediately.

Yu Jin was the son of a powerful man in Taishan County, from a small landlord family.

After Liu Xi beheaded Cheng Dun, he joined Liu Xi's army.

Because of his outstanding force, he was promoted again and again and became a junior officer.

Then he shined in the military competition, showing his outstanding military talent, and was recommended to Liu Xi by Zhao Yun.

Liu Xi knew this man's reputation, and he was the first of the five sons of Cao Wei in later generations.

He was famous all over the world for being good at governing the army, but in the end he surrendered because he was defeated by Guan Yu, and was despised by people.

In fact, before his death, his status was always above Zhang Liao and others.

Liu Xi went to school and found that he was not known for his bravery, but was good at training soldiers, just like in history.

Yu Jin is now a second-rate general, and basically stops at first-rate in this life.

But his training talent is one of the best in the world.

Liu Xi promoted him to be in charge of military training.

Now there are a lot of talented people under him, what Liu Xi has to do is to make the best use of people and put them in the right position.

He only needs to assign tasks, and his subordinates will naturally plan, execute, and complete them with quality and quantity.

Fenggao City is now more prosperous, with merchants coming and going, and teams of carriages going in and out, very prosperous.

Chen Gong has proposed to expand Fenggao City.

However, the expansion is not so easy. It involves the defensive formation of the city. If it is expanded, it will definitely take a lot of energy to rearrange it.

Planning has already begun, but it will not be implemented for the time being.

Because in the plan of Liu Xi and Xi Zhicai, Qingzhou would be swallowed up in two years. When the government center was to be relocated, it would not be so crowded.

In Liu Xi, Lu Su, Xi Zhicai and others in the deduction of the general trend of the world, they all decided to go to Qingzhou first, then Jizhou, and then Youzhou and Bingzhou, occupying half of the country in the north.

There is a saying in Go that "golden corners and silver edges are grass belly", and the same is true for fighting for the world.

If Yanzhou was taken, it would be in the central area, the place of four battles, and there would be no future for development.

In history, Cao Cao had no choice, so he occupied Yanzhou.

Even though his subordinates and generals are more powerful than Yuan Shao's, and he controls the emperor, he has a political advantage, but he can only be low and small, because Yanzhou's strategic position is far inferior to Jizhou.

Even after Yuan Shao made a series of faint moves, Cao Cao was lucky enough to defeat Yuan Shao, but he was still inferior to others.

Even though Yuan Shao was dead, he still captured Jizhou by provoking civil strife among his two sons.

If Yuan Shao did not die, or had a qualified heir, the battle of Cao Yuan would probably drag on for many more years.

This shows how bad Yanzhou's strategic position is.

Therefore, in Liu Xi's plan, Qingzhou's status is far higher than that of Yanzhou, and Taishan County is adjacent to Qingzhou, which is the best strategic point.

Next to a post in Taishan County, a long queue of carriages was parked.

The flag above the motorcade has the big word "Lu" written on it, which is the motorcade of the Jiangdong Lu family.
