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

Even later, in order to gain a firm foothold in North China, Tao Qian recruited a lot of strong and strong men from his hometown Danyang County, and trained a team of elite Danyang soldiers who could be said to be the top Danyang soldiers in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period... …

However, due to the fact that there are too few generals under him who can fight, Tao Qian also faced Cao Cao's large-scale invasion at the last moment, but he had no other way except calling for help and Liu Bei and Kong Rong. Thinking about it, just watching most of Xuzhou fall, the lives of the people under his command fell into boundless flames of war.

If Zhang Yan remembers correctly, although Tao Qian now has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, he is not inferior to Zhang Yan himself, who is the backbone of the general, but affected by the character of the opponent, among the civil servants and generals under Tao Qian However, there are only a few generals who can lead troops to execute orders alone, such as Ruo Rong, Zang Ba, Chen Deng, and Cao Bao.

And thinking of the final fate of Tao Qian's generals in this series, Zhang Yan couldn't help feeling a slight sigh for the opponent's future.

Ruo Rong, a native of Danyang, a Buddhist leader in Xuzhou, was in charge of food transportation during his reign, but he repeatedly embezzled public funds and filled his own pockets by virtue of his position.Even though Tao Qian tolerated everything and didn't blame him, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou in the future, Ruo Rong still didn't think of Tao Qian's benefit at all, so he was the first to take the lead in plundering the city and fleeing.

Zang Ba, who followed Tao Qian to quell the banditry in Xuzhou, was appointed as the captain of cavalry.When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he led troops and Kaiyang to resist Cao Cao. Unfortunately, his colleague Xiao Jian was furious because of his illicit affair with Lu Bu. While fighting with Lu Bu, he also led his men to surrender Cao Cao. In the future Cao Ying shine.

Chen Deng, courtesy name Yuanlong, Tao Qian's Diannong Xiaowei, was good at farming and doing business, especially at growing grains.Although, like Mi Zhu, both of Tao Qian's subordinates came from one of the five wealthy merchant families, compared with Mi Zhu, who will be appointed as General Anhan in the future, Chen Deng seems to have made little progress in military affairs except to reduce the famine in Tao Qian's territories.

And Cao Bao...

Thinking of Cao Bao, even Zhang Yan, who was thirsty for this civil servant and military general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, couldn't help but feel buzzing in his mind.

Chapter 35 Zhang Yan's Thoughts

Cao Bao, a native of Ruyang, Runan, I don't know the word, was a "general" who led the army under Tao Qian in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

When Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, he was stationed in Tandong with Liu Bei and fought against Cao Cao, but he never fought.

Later, he followed Liu Bei to fight Yuan Shu at Shiting in Huaiyin, but he never fought.

After that, he followed Lu Bu to fight Liu Bei in Xiapi, but never fought.

……

Thinking of Cao Bao's unique and proud achievements in the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty, even Zhang Yan, who can be said to be eager for talents for civil servants and generals, can't help but feel buzzing in his mind.

And considering that the remaining generals under Tao Qian, such as Sun Guan, Yin Li, Zhang Kai, and Lu Fan, although they didn't have any bad records, they seemed to be only cooperating with Zang Ba and Cao Bao in normal times, and never alone. The leader had carried out the order, so Zhang Yan naturally knew that Tao Qian, who was tied up with the generals under his command, was not enough for Xu Huang to fight alone, so what kind of thoughts and plans did he have when he could send someone to curry favor with him this time.

After all, although Tao Qian's evaluation of "does not have the ability to know people, admires fame outside, is not true inside, treats me well, it is bound to be thin" was also approved by Xu Shao, a famous critic in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but if we talk about Tao Qian Tao Gongzu, the governor of Xuzhou, was probably the only one who was able to make such a poor general under his command in the entire late Han Dynasty.

And thinking of the other party's behavior of "seeking help from Liu Bei" and "seeking help from Kong Rong" at every turn, although Zhang Yan felt a little happy that the other party sent Mi Zhu to win him over this time, at the same time, he also felt that the other party sent some things that were important to his future. After taking office in Lujiang, I felt a great need for the improved seeds and farm tools that I organized my subjects to cultivate...

But no matter how you say it, Zhang Yan also knows that there is no free lunch in this world. At the same time, he naturally understands Tao Qian's behavior. The idea and plan of "seeking help from Lujiang prefect Zhang Yan".

It is different from the local chiefs and state pastors in various regions who have experienced the abolition of history and establishment of animal husbandry after this year and began to gradually shine on the stage of the Eastern Han Dynasty.As the "inspector" of the highest supervisor in Xuzhou, although Tao Qian is regarded as the highest officer of the state in the eyes of the common people, he also has a considerable status, but in the eyes of Zhang Yan and other people who know the internal situation, the position of governor But there is no real power, especially no real military power, and in some respects it is even worse than the local prefect.

And this time when the gifts came, Tao Qian only said on the surface that he wanted to say hello to Zhang Yan and others, and make a fate-but as long as people with discerning eyes see it, they will naturally be able to see the essence of Tao Qian's behavior It's just that Zhang Yan's status as a general and the more than 2 strong soldiers under his command want to help Zhang Yan tide over the difficulties by donating these food and other materials that are not very important to him before the incident happens. Come to sell Zhang Yan a face and favor that he has to repay.

If Zhang Yan really accepted Tao Qian's gift this time, and took all the hundreds of thousands of shi of grain, then this time it was Zhang Yan who received Tao Qian's favor from Tao Gongzu. Zhang Yan asked for help, whether it was for his own reputation or his image among the gentry in Xuzhou, Zhang Yan tried every means to help each other.

Otherwise, this behavior will not only make his reputation stink in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also make his subordinates who have received the benefits of Tao Qian, civil servants and military generals who have a positive view of Tao Qian become at odds with him, even if a Inadvertent handling, considering Tao Qian's reputation among the northern princes through so many years of generous donations, Zhang Yan's own diplomatic environment and diplomatic reputation as a whole may deteriorate.

And this was also the reason why Zhang Yan sighed while looking at the rather generous gift list in his hand while sitting in the private room of the restaurant.

If he accepts Tao Qian's gift this time, Zhang Yan will have to pay or repay more things for this gift sooner or later in the near future to ensure that his reputation will not be damaged because of it. It can be said that to a certain extent, it is necessary in diplomatic etiquette to come and go, and it is not inappropriate to come and go.

And if he rejected Tao Qian's gift this time, Zhang Yan looked at the large amount of various grains in the gift list calculated in units of ten thousand stones, but he had to say that he felt a trace of real greed.

But just leaning on Ye'er's body, after secretly thinking about his future plans, Zhang Yan decided to accept these gifts even though he felt that the gifts were quite hot, and at the same time secretly made a decision, In this period of time in the future, through Mi Fang, the proton who had to follow him for a while, to find a way to establish a good relationship with the Mi family and Tao Qian in Xuzhou.

It was as if Tao Qian needed Zhang Yan to deter the princes in North China for him, so as to ensure that Tao Qian's position in Xuzhou would not be watched. In fact, Zhang Yan would also need Zhang Yan for a long time Tao Qian, a prince with food in his hands, supported and helped him through the relatively difficult early stage after he arrived in Lujiang.

After all, unlike Liu Biao, Liu Yan and other Han family clan members who had enough time to prepare, Zhang Yan knew that he had little time, so he didn't intend to take his time after getting an official position like those ordinary princes. To develop your own territory, you want to accumulate enough power before the princes discuss the Dong Huimeng in the next two years, so that you can gain enough voice in the future anti-Dong Zhuo siege network, and come Strive to reward the emperor to a greater extent after he is rescued.

To achieve this goal, in addition to training a large number of troops and waiting for emergencies, Zhang Yan naturally needs to find a way to purchase and seconded troops from various states and counties as soon as he arrives in Lujiang. The method is to obtain enough food reserves to help him develop Lujiang, which has a current population of only more than 50, which can barely be regarded as an upper-middle-level plot, and is also his basic base for Zhang Yan, to develop into a land like Nanyang, or even With a population of 300 million in Runan, one county is a super-large county that can rival a state on the northern border.

Therefore, although Tao Qian's behavior of giving him a gift was somewhat impure in it, after careful consideration, Zhang Yan decided to accept the gift, and at the same time, it was also a way for the two of them to accept the gift. Mi Zhu, who was the emissary of the time, conveyed his kindness to Tao Qian who was sitting firmly in the seat of Pengcheng Kingdom in Xuzhou at the moment, watching him and others eagerly.

Chapter 36 Exploration and Expansion

After all, according to Zhang Yan's plan, if he wants to develop Lujiang County into a super-large county with millions of people in just three years, it is obviously impossible to rely on the natural growth of the population. How can it be impossible to do.

In order to achieve his goal, after Zhang Yan went to Lujiang in the future, his first task, or the first task in the next one to two years, would definitely be to find a way to rectify and accommodate the entire vicinity of Lujiang County. Even those refugees who were displaced due to the war in the entire Yangzhou region used this method to increase the population in their territory and increase the production capacity of Lujiang County in disguise.

And when Lujiang gradually developed into a large-scale county like Nanyang and Runan in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Yan could also start to find a way to gather the Suanzao area through the Eighteenth Route princes, and unite to crusade Dong Zhuo waited for the opportunity to beg or extort an official position that was more suitable for him from the little emperor who had succeeded Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong at that time—Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie, and then obtained the southeast direction of the entire Han Dynasty, at least The right to govern the entire territory of Yangzhou.

Through this method, in just three years, Zhang Yan was not only able to successfully obtain a large area of ​​territory, but also took all of Yangzhou, the most extensive of the thirteen prefectures in the Eastern Han Dynasty, into his own hands, and by the way, The hundreds of kilometers of coastline along the southeast coast will also be smoothly controlled by him.

In this way, with the help of Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, two good brothers who would not take the initiative to attack him in the early stage of the separatist regime, Zhang Yan will basically be able to fight against him in the next ten to twenty years. It has a certain influence and the right to speak.

And after that, whether it is in the future that he wants to help the Han family, help the big man to continue the country, take the route of saving the nation and save the country, or at a certain time in the future, Zhang Yan will find a way to find an opportunity to replace it and set up a The third empire of China, like the Tang Dynasty in later generations, had a strong influence on the entire earth——

At the very least, in the hands of Zhang Yan, he can also have the power to protect himself and make various decisions based on his own ideas, instead of being like those ordinary princes who will easily be reduced to a few giants. Pieces used when forces fight each other.

You know, ever since he came to the Eastern Han Dynasty from later generations and lived as the adoptive son of Zhongchangshi, Zhang Yan has always kept a few ideas in his heart, and at the same time, he has been working hard silently with these ideas as his main goal in the future. with.

And apart from Zhang Yan who has been keeping in mind all this time, pushing Xiao Qiao single-handedly, the rest of the higher-level pursuit is the hope of the entire Huaxia region, or the entire East Asian civilization circle. Under their own help and influence, they can prosper for a long time and maintain their influence in the whole world for a long time, so that they will not suffer in the later years like the five random China and Mongolia's southward travel. It can be regarded as extremely barbaric destruction and destruction.

Up to now, under the help of Zhang Rang, Liu Hong and other big figures in the Eastern Han Dynasty, since Zhang Yan's demand for pushing Xiao Qiao alone has been met in such a muddle, then in the following period of time Therefore, Zhang Yan focused his attention on the latter, that is, how to help the Chinese civilization to prosper for a long time.

It was also during this period of time that Zhang Yan decided on a series of development directions that he would experience in the future.

First of all, whether it is to support the Han Dynasty and help the Liu family to maintain long-term stability in the next hundred or even thousand years, or to replace the Han Dynasty, look for opportunities to overthrow this decadent Han Dynasty in the next few decades The regime, the establishment of a third Chinese Empire or the "overthrow of the Han" line of the People's Republic of China that he himself governs, the first task before Zhang Yan is to find a way to fight as much as possible in this war-torn era at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. To reserve a certain population for the Chinese nation, at least let Lujiang and even Yangzhou under his rule become the existence of the "safe zone" of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and also allow all the refugees who have suffered from displacement to live in a good and stable area. live on.

And after retaining enough fire for the Chinese nation, Zhang Yan, who has a series of wonder construction rights and can obtain a large number of wonder drawings, will find a way to improve the commodity production in the Huaxia region through the series of wonders. ability.

We must know that whether it is those "civilization miracle" wonders that have an inspiring effect on this nation, or those "megastructure" wonders that can bring huge numerical improvements to his rule in the future, Zhang Yandu can directly exchange the blueprints of those wonders from the system mall by consuming "fame points".

And the scope of this exchange obviously also includes those "Volklinge Iron and Steel Smelters", "Riverside Workshops in Quarry" and the like, which can bring about a huge increase in productivity under Zhang Yan's rule, but in later generations It can't be said that it is an overly famous spectacle among the crowd.

Just like the set of Venetian shipyards that he got through mission rewards—ah no, it was the drawings of the Venetian Armory. It was built completely near the coastline, so for the formation of the navy under his command, there is no doubt that this building has a very obvious ability to improve and promote.

At the same time, considering that after the Venetian Armory is completely built, the system will randomly reward Zhang Yan with a suitable ship blueprint. In a sense, as long as the blueprint given by the system is not too outrageous, the Yan can also start to advance the Eastern Han Dynasty, and with his own help, the implementation of a series of naval ocean-going strategies such as exploration and expansion of later generations has been advanced for nearly 1000 years.

After all, as long as you don’t get some ship blueprints such as "How to Build a One-Man Bamboo Raft by Hand" and "Ford-class Electromagnetic Ejection Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carrier Construction Blueprint" that are so bad that Zhang Yan can't accept it, then Zhang Yan will It is possible to quickly pull up a huge fleet to help him explore the world through the rich experience in ship building along the entire southeast coast, and at the same time cooperate with his more advanced centralized production methods compared to this era.

And after this idea is realized, a complete trade network has been established in the entire Southeast Asian region, and it can even project its influence to the entire Northeast Pacific Ocean, and even Zhang Yan in the East Coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Compared with other regimes around it, it has formed a huge advantage like ten mines playing one mine.

Chapter 37 Moving is a hassle

After roughly sorting out the direction of future development, Zhang Yan finally decided to accept the good intentions sent to him by Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou. Take the initiative to show affection to the other party.

After all, in order to realize the series of long-term plans, the first thing Zhang Yan needs to solve is to find a way to win a section of coastline located in the southeast of Dahan.

As for the premise of winning the southeastern coastline, the most critical step is naturally that Zhang Yan can obtain enough food in a short period of time to support him in the next two years. More than enough power.

One must know that at this afternoon, after Zhang Yan told Mi Zhu to say hello to Xuzhou governor Tao Qian who was far away in Pengcheng on his behalf, Zhang Yan bid farewell to him and brought Ye'er to his name In a restaurant located in the center of the bustling area of ​​Luoyang.

And when the time passed, when the sun completely fell below the horizon, it would be the time he had previously agreed with Wei Xian and others, and Wei Xian would also come to the private room of this restaurant to look for him.

At that time, Zhang Yan will not only confirm with Wei Xian, but also some things that happened when Wei Xian built the wonders during his absence in Luoyang. A decision will also be made today.

Today, the tens of thousands of peasant laborers under Zhang Yan's hands, although not everyone's education level is very high, and not all of them are young and strong laborers, but compared with some ordinary people in the Eastern Han Dynasty, they But Shengzai has a lot of experience in large-scale building construction, and at the same time, he once completed a complete wonder building with Wei Xian.

Therefore, Zhang Yan naturally wanted to bring as much labor as possible to follow him to Lujiang as conditions allowed, and even thought about taking all the tens of thousands of people away at once.

But he also knew that not to mention the relocation of tens of thousands of people, even if he wanted to take thousands of people to Lujiang together, it could be said to be a great event in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

……

Different from later generations, although in the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty when the household registration management was relatively chaotic, although the imperial court did not restrict an ordinary resident to his birthplace through a comprehensive household registration system like the Ming Dynasty, Strictly control the emigration and migration of the other party, but for those large-scale population movements, the Eastern Han Dynasty will also restrict to a certain extent through the behavior of various local governors.

For example, Henan Yin and Luoyang Ling, the two top county officials who are in charge of political affairs in the Luoyang Imperial City, will never sit back and watch Luoyang grow from a huge city with a population of more than 30, or even close to [-]. In more than a month, a large population of more than [-]% has been lost.

In order to avoid such a situation, whether it is through increasing taxes or temporarily recruiting these people, these two people will do their best to hinder the smooth progress of Zhang Yan's relocation work.

Not to mention, at this moment, in the imperial city of Luoyang, such a heavyweight as the Hanling Emperor Liu Hong lived.

As the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, even though he loved Zhang Yan quite a lot, and at the same time he had Zhang Rang, the general servant, fanning the flames, there was a high probability that Liu Hong would not agree with Zhang Yan doing such a thing under his nose. So the behavior of exploiting the development of the capital openly to enhance the territory under his command is no longer a decision that can be easily made simply because he likes Zhang Yan.

Even if Hanling Emperor Liu Hong really escorted Zhang Yan's relocation for some reason, then Zhang Yan would be convinced immediately that Hanling Emperor Liu Hong was restricted or even suppressed by some people who wanted to subvert the Han regime Is he manipulating his own behavior, or is it simply a disease of the brain.

In addition to this series of political factors, another factor that restricted Zhang Yan's large-scale relocation was the relatively backward material transportation capacity in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Because in this era, most of the people at the bottom of the Eastern Han Dynasty still used things like wheelbarrows and trolleys as their means of transportation, so moving now is not like later generations, with a dense railway network and road network to assist , and soon you can reach the place where you moved.

In this era, it is really a very troublesome thing to relocate with your family.

You must know that the distance from Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to Wancheng, the Xinzhisuo of Lujiang County, is more than 640 kilometers even considering the straight-line distance.

This is almost an ultra-long distance of nearly 20 miles under the weights and measures system of the Eastern Han Dynasty. If measured by human footsteps, it would take at least fifteen to twenty days.

And those who have rich families and have cattle, horses and livestock-drawn vehicles are fine. For those low-level peasant laborers who only have one pair of hands and feet and have to carry and carry everything by themselves, even if they think of Zhang Yan It is good for them, so they want to go to Lujiang with Zhang Yan to seek a new life, but this time they don't have enough conditions to leave with all their belongings.

Don’t you see, even though Xuande Gong Liu Beizhai had a kind heart and fled from Xinye to the south, although there were a large number of people willing to cross the river with him, they were able to flee to Fancheng and Jiangxia with him in the end. The public is only one out of ten, and this is based on the fact that Liu Bei was quite appealing at that time and was able to persuade the people to follow him to the south.

And although Zhang Yan did not escape from Luoyang during the war, but had enough time to slowly transfer the people, but in the absence of an enemy with such a vicious name as "Cao Cao" who could deter the people, for In the end, how many people are willing to follow him from Luoyang to Lujiang Wancheng, Zhang Yan really has no confidence in his heart.

"Hey, I hope to have five thousand... No, even if only 3000 people are willing to follow me south, that would be considered a blessing..."

"As long as there are [-] low-level people who are willing to follow me, after I go to Lujiang, these people will be able to serve as a force that cannot be ignored in the initial construction period, helping me to survive without affecting agricultural production. Next, we will carry out a series of city constructions in Lujiang County."

"And in this way, the construction of wonders such as the Great Library can be put on the agenda soon."

Sighing slightly, Zhang Yan couldn't help thinking secretly.

Chapter 38 Lack of people

After all, Zhang Yan also knew that, unlike those ordinary refugees whose families were destroyed in the war, and whose roots were almost cut off, the coolies he recruited in Luoyang City, although their living conditions were only It is relatively ordinary, but it is better than having the minimum stability and tranquility.

At the same time, in the team of these ordinary people, Zhang Yan knew that many of them had their own ancestral tablets and family cemeteries, and these were not existences that could be easily relocated.

Therefore, after considering all these factors that are not conducive to his relocation, Zhang Yan naturally no longer has any illusions about being able to take these laborers away at once.

According to his thinking, if the operation goes well this time, Zhang Yan only intends to take some relatively important people who are not ordinary coolies with him when he goes to Lujiang to take up his post this time. It is good to be able to take away all the craftsmen such as masons and carpenters. These people will be of great use to his future development——

After arriving in Lujiang in the future, with Zhang Yan's continuous accommodation and acceptance of refugees from surrounding counties and counties, Wancheng, where the population of Lujiang County is located, will naturally need to be expanded rapidly to meet the living needs of more people.

If Zhang Yan's estimate is correct, as long as the refugees located in Qingzhou and Yangzhou, two large counties with relatively large populations, gradually enter the Lujiang area under his guidance, then in the future, Wancheng will be greatly expanded and It can be said that the construction of new residential areas around Wancheng is almost a certainty.

And at that time, with the existence of these craftsmen who have been with him in the construction industry, Zhang Yan's troubles will be solved by this group of people smoothly.

If this time, Zhang Yan failed to move these craftsmen groups to Lujiang as much as possible due to some things, it is almost foreseeable that Zhang Yan's expansion speed in the next six months to a year will inevitably be greatly restricted. There will even be an embarrassing situation where the people have no houses to live in under the rule.

And once Zhang Yan takes too big a step and ignores this most fundamental living need, then in autumn and winter, there may even be a large number of homeless refugees in Lujiang County when winter arrives. Things that greatly reduce the happiness and sense of identity of the residents in the territory.

At that time, population will no longer be an important driving force in the hands of Zhang Yan to promote the development of productivity, but will instead become a different kind of burden.

After a rough calculation in his heart, Zhang Yan initially set a maximum limit of about 2000 people for his future immigration work without affecting his relocation progress and causing dissatisfaction among Luoyang local officials.

And this is also the maximum number of people he can ensure that the overall relocation work can be completed within half a month after taking into account the cattle, horses and vehicles that he can use.

Once the overall number of people migrating with him exceeds 2000, it is certain that the speed of Zhang Yan leading people to Lujiang will be greatly affected, and if one is not careful, he will not be able to bring all his belongings and follow Zhang Yan Those grassroots laborers who left with Yan Yan may even have the risk of constant complaints within the migrating team, and even cause riots.

Therefore, in order not to affect his summer planting in Lujiang, Zhang Yan finally set 2000 people as the upper limit of his own population.
