Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Now, with the help of Li Le and Hu Cai, and the population of Lujiang has been increasing recently, the recruitment of the third formed army is no longer like It was so out of reach before.

Since this year's famine was not caused by natural disasters, but was affected by man-made disasters, the victims of this year's disasters were not everywhere as usual, but concentrated in the Central Plains and Qingzhou, which were affected by Baibo Yellow Turban and Qingzhou Yellow Turban respectively Where the raging effects are most intense.

Unlike Qingzhou, where all the granaries in the state are eaten clean, Yangzhou and Xuzhou, which are major grain-producing provinces in the past, did not have much pressure on food supply. The output is still much higher than in previous years. On the basis of meeting the needs of the existing population, a large amount of grain stocks have been hoarded.

Under such circumstances, now that severe winter is approaching, a large number of people naturally choose to go south to cross the Yellow River and Yangtze River, and want to survive in relatively stable Yangzhou and Xuzhou.

For this reason, Zhang Yan set up a large number of reception points on the traffic arteries around the Lujiang River, continuously absorbing people from the victims, and at the same time spread the word "Lujiang is in a period of rapid development, and all kinds of talents are warmly welcome to settle down" According to the news, it can be said that it has eaten a lot in more than a month.

It's just a pity that besides those victims, there is another group that has their eyes on the Lujiang River, where food is plentiful and people are rich——

That is the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in the north.

Leaving aside the fact that Zhang Yan's operation of large-scale population absorption has attracted the attention of one-third of the lords and princes in the entire Huaxia region, and at the same time, it has also been kept in mind by those thieves who are about to be hungry. Whether he is missed by Danyang Mountain or by Qingzhou Yellow Turban, there is no obvious difference between the two.

This is the reason why there are too many debts and no burden, and too many lice don't itch.

Just talking about the result of such a large-scale absorption of population, that is, in just one month, the population of Lujiang has rapidly expanded from 70 to an unprecedented [-], and at the same time it is still moving towards a higher level. The level keeps advancing.

You know, more than 1 people are not a small number. If converted into an average value, from the end of October to mid-November, more than [-] people poured in from the outside every day and moved into the territory of Lujiang. to live.

Most of these people chose to go to "urban areas" like Wancheng and Shu County, but some people chose to go to the slightly backward Hou country. These people naturally have their own ideas when making such decisions.

Such a large-scale population influx naturally brought many problems to Lujiang, such as the shortage of housing, the sudden drop in public security, and the gradual rise in prices.

It's just that under the full suppression of the Department of Public Security, these migrants gradually adapted to life in Lujiang soon, and the number of cases of mob riots decreased a lot.

It can be said that the influx of a large number of people has brought huge dividends to the development of Lujiang.

It can be seen with the naked eye that in the future, the development of Lujiang will not stop, but will be faster than before.

However, such achievements did not satisfy Zhang Yan.

The movement of Lujiang to absorb the population has not stopped.

According to Zhang Yan's estimate, when winter officially arrives, many people will begin to break their illusions and formally face the cruel fact that they will be starved to death under the influence of this year's war.

And until that moment, Lujiang will finally usher in the peak of a large number of people moving south.

What I have to say is that the current Han Dynasty has not yet collapsed. The Emperor Liu Honggao of the Han Dynasty sits in the court, and the eunuchs represented by the Ten Permanent Attendants and the military represented by the General are in opposition. Before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, most of the Kwantung princes They still obey the laws of the big man.

Among these laws, there is a clear stipulation, which is about nothing else. It is precisely when there are no special circumstances that the farmers of the Han Dynasty cannot relocate wantonly.

In other words, where people are born, they are ghosts when they die.

With such preconceived ideas, large grain producers such as Xuzhou and Jingzhou are subconsciously rejecting the refugees who have entered their territory. They are only stuck in the middle of the two parties, just blocking the Lujiang River, the only way from the Central Plains southward to Yangzhou. , is the only place that those people who migrated to the south can go.

This wave, although a little embarrassed, but Zhang Yan is really making a fortune for the country.

Chapter 31 Homecoming

"Tai-shou is here!"

……

"Lujiang is at peace!"

……

"Too... Shou is here!"

……

"The blue sky is here!"

……

In the early winter season, near an avenue in the west of Wancheng, the prefecture of Lujiang County, passers-by were hurrying forward with their heads buried in their heads.

I don't know if it's because of the coming of winter, the number of pedestrians going out from Wancheng has decreased a lot compared to the previous period, and instead, there are a large number of people in different clothes, walking in twos and threes from west to east, Heading towards Wancheng not far away.

Among these people were homeless people in ragged clothes, pedestrians and merchants with a capable appearance, and many wealthy sons who were dressed gorgeously, and it was hard to tell which family they were from.

The people who came and went were of different shapes and sizes, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they all looked at the somewhat vague city in the distance with a hint of curiosity and longing.

……

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month in 188 A.D., inside a tea stand beside the road, an extremely handsome young man was sitting in a corner with hot tea in his hands. He seemed to be warming his hands, but he was actually listening to the sound not far away. .

And at the entrance of the tea stand, not far from where the rich man was, several young people were happily chatting about something.

After listening sideways for a moment, a curious look appeared on Zhou Yu's face.

……

"Hehe, the new prefect of Lujiang, the yamen from Luoyang?"

Picking up the teacup in his hand, Zhou Yu carried his luggage from the table beside him, left a few coins behind, and walked out of the tea stand while thinking about what the young people said just now .

The heavy snow had stopped, so he had to continue on his way.

There are only a few miles away from Wancheng. If all goes well, he should be able to reach Wancheng before dark today and have a good rest.

With her chest raised and her head held high, Zhou Yu walked towards the distance with big strides. Amidst the envious eyes and discussions of those nearby, Zhou Yu walked in the direction of Wancheng.

Counting the time, it has been several days since he temporarily bid farewell to Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son, and returned from Changsha County.

Walking quickly on the snow-covered path, Zhou Yu listened to the creak of his leather boots on the fresh snow, while looking at the scenery along the way with some curiosity.

Since he left Lujiang to join Sun Ce half a year ago, he has not come back here for more than half a year. Therefore, Zhou Yu was a little surprised to find that there seemed to be something different here than when he left. different place.

Curiously glanced at the passers-by beside him, feeling the extremely rare crowds in the middle of winter and lunar month, Zhou Yu inevitably began to have a little bit of murmur in his heart.

……

"It's really strange. In previous years, there would not be so many people going out in the wind and snow this winter. Judging from the direction, they all went to Wancheng. This is not normal."

"Looking at the appearance of these people, don't they all come from other places?"

……

Retracting his gaze, Zhou Yu found a few carriages with familiar family emblems among the passers-by, and immediately realized that the people in those carriages were all descendants of aristocratic families in the Central Plains, so he didn't look at them too much.

It was just inexplicable, but Zhou Yu remembered what he had heard when he was sheltering from the snow in the tea stall just now, especially what a young man who clearly wore Lujiang local characteristics and spoke with an ancient Anhui accent said before. .

……

"When the prefect comes, the Lujiang River will be peaceful...the blue sky will be there?"

"Tsk, what a big breath."

"It's just that, in the past few years, I really didn't see such scholars migrating towards the Lujiang River."

"So it seems that these people are all running for the prefect?"

……

Subconsciously clicked his lips, Zhou Yu became even more curious about the eunuch who had never had a face when he thought of the contempt and contempt those Central Plains aristocratic families had for Jiangdong natives like them.

He is very clear that in the past few years, these guys have all dismissed Jiang Dong, and there is a feeling that it is an insult to me that I came to your place to go around.

Stretching out his hand to touch his package, feeling the letters in the package, Zhou Yu recalled what he had learned in the letter from home some time ago, and involuntarily quickened his pace.

……

"It has only been more than half a year since I took office. First, I vigorously promoted agricultural affairs, and then quelled the mountain bandits that have plagued Lujiang for a long time. If you think about it this way, it is not incomprehensible for those people to praise the prefect."

"It's just...hehe, if it's left to me, it may not be worse than this person."

While recalling what he had learned in his heart, Zhou Yu couldn't help but complain to Zhang Yan.Although he is now showing disdain for the other party's achievements, he can clearly feel a familiar sour taste in what he said.

He is naturally very clear about the achievements the other party has made during the time he was not in Lujiang.

It's just that as a young man, Zhou Yu inevitably showed a little spirited.

He came back this time not only to express his feelings about the development of his hometown.

In addition to just in time for the Chinese New Year, Zhou Yu planned to go home to get together with his uncle and take a good look at the uncle who brought him with him since he was a child. Get to know the other party in depth, and see if the other party is really as outstanding as the family letter and rumors say.

If Zhang Yan is really outstanding, then that's all. He is naturally not a narrow-minded person. He doesn't like everyone, and he wants to go up and make gestures with everyone.

Even from the perspective of his family, it is not unacceptable to take refuge in the other party.

It's just that if the other party is just a vain name, then Zhou Yu will inevitably feel a little bit competitive.

If the information he learned from his father Zhou Yi is correct, Zhang Yan is just a yamen in Luoyang City, and he didn't have any outstanding achievements before. Only at the age of less than 30 years old became the prefect of one side.

And he is in his teens and almost 20 years old this year. He has been outstanding among his peers since he was a child. Even Zhou Yu, who is more mature than the older ones, will naturally think about it. If it is a local official, it seems that he should have some chances more or less.

It's not that he has such a persistent pursuit of power, it's just that he has been educated by a family since he was a child, and he has always defined himself as the kind of hero that only exists in history books. In the meantime, if you are doing nothing and doing nothing, it is inevitable that there will be some unspeakable past.

Not to mention, this also involved the fact that he went to his childhood sweetheart's home to ask for marriage in the first half of this year, but was rejected because of his lack of fame.

If he is better than him, it proves that he is not unable to do positions like prefect.

In terms of background, the Zhou family with a Sangong background is not inferior to any family in Zhou Yu's seriousness, so although I don't know which family's yamen Zhang Yan, the prefect, belongs to, but subconsciously, Zhou Yu feels that his own This uncle should also be able to help him get such an official position.

……

"If I have reached the level of the other party, then the next time I go to propose, the old man of the Qiao family will have no reason to refuse, right?"

……

I muttered silently in my heart, how can I say that a young man does not fall into the blue sky? Although Zhou Yu was full of anger and contempt when he was rejected at the other party's home before, he still has some feelings about being underestimated by the other party. Care.

Chapter 32 Book Donation

Just outside the city, Zhou Yu was full of ambition and wanted to meet Zhang Yan, the new prefect of Lujiang, and at the same time compare with him, Zhang Yan was also busy in the official office inside Lujiang Wancheng.

More than a month has passed since before, and after dozens of days of hard work by a large number of slaves, a decent building has finally been built in the bare construction site.

Just a few days ago, Zhang Yan finally received a notice from Wei Xian, saying that the main part of the big library was finally completed, and he had already started to lead the people to carry out the detailed decoration work inside the library.

As the actual initiator of this matter, Zhang Yan naturally took some free time two days ago to go to the construction site of the large library to get a general understanding of the current situation.

To be honest, after seeing the large building complex, Zhang Yan still had to admit that his imagination was limited by his previous life experience.

Unlike the "locals" of the big man, Zhang Yan, who was born in later generations, has seen what a "library" looks like.

Whether it is the Huaxia National Library in the imperial capital, the Jinling City Library in Nanzhili, or the libraries in small third-tier and third-tier cities, Zhang Yan has actually seen many of them.

It is precisely because of this that he was inevitably influenced by his previous life experience, and his impression of the building of the library has always remained in the modern model.

But a few days ago, when he was invited by Wei Xian to visit the construction site located in the center of the old town of Wancheng, Zhang Yan understood a truth:
