The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Nanyang is the largest county in the world, with a total of 37 counties. According to historical records, it has 520,000 households and a total population of more than 2 million.

If Cao Cao had no idea, it would be like a man having no feelings for a naked beauty.

However, Cao Cao did not dare to grab it openly. After all, he was relying on others, and if he wanted to seize Jingzhou, he needed the support of Jingzhou's aristocratic families and wealthy families.

The support of aristocratic families and wealthy families is really important.

Cao Cao has realized this. Without the support of aristocratic families, it will be difficult to gain a foothold.

Yanzhou was lost because of the rebellion of Chen Gong, Zhang Chao, Wang Kai and others.

Although Liu Biao now occupies Jingzhou, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the reason Liu Biao was able to gain a foothold in Jingzhou was because of the support of the Cai family and the Kuai family.

The Cai family is a famous family in Jingzhou. Cai Mao's uncle is Taiwei Zhang Wen. Cai Mao's eldest sister married Huang Chengyan, and his second sister married Liu Biao as his stepmother.

Huang Chengyan is the father of Huang Yueying, a celebrity in Jingxiang, and the upper circle of celebrities in Jingxiang are all friends with him.

Liu Biao and Huang Chengyan are brothers-in-law. How could the brother-in-law not help his brother-in-law?

Therefore, the celebrities in Jingxiang still stand with Liu Biao.

The important people under Liu Biao's command were Kuai Liang, who helped Liu Biao eliminate the traitor Kuai Yue, and Kuai Liang, who helped Liu Biao in his political work. They and Kuai Qi were brothers of the same clan.

Kuai Qi is not famous in history. However, Kuai Qi is Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law.

Jingxiang's aristocratic families, wealthy families, and celebrities are closely connected through marriage.

If Cao Cao wants to make a difference in Jingzhou, he must start with the Cai family or the Kuai family.

Moreover, Cao Cao is not without a chance.

Cai Mao often had political disagreements with brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, and Liu Biao also took advantage of the conflicts between the two families to make them fight each other.

This is Liu Biao's skill.

Everyone thinks Liu Biao is a kind-hearted mediocre person. In fact, Liu Biao is a master of politics.

From riding into Jing alone to becoming the lord of Jingzhou, Liu Biao's ability is not low.

……

May 196 AD.

Zhou Cheng once again took people to Buyeo New Town.

The construction of the new city has been going on for several years, with work being rushed day and night.

Therefore, the progress of the project is very fast and satisfactory.

Of course, this was the result of harassment from Buyeo and Goguryeo people.

Since Zhao Yun led his army to kill the Goguryeo people once, the construction speed of Fuyu New City has become even faster.

This was the first time for Yang Xiu to see a new city under construction.

Although he could only see a corner of it from his perspective, he could imagine how grand this city would be.

Of course, the amount of money and food consumed is also a quite scary amount.

More than a million people gather here, working with their families.

How to deal with the money and food consumed here every day is enough to cause a headache.

To build such a big city in troubled times, Zhou Cheng's courage is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Of course, Fuyu New Town is not only building a city, but also has farmland.

Just like the cultivated land in the base camp, the cultivated land here is also centralizedly managed.

Every day, oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages take the old, weak, women and children here to the fields.

Since the land being cultivated is 'public land', wages are paid.

The men in the family are working on the construction site in the new city, while the elderly, women, and children are busy in the fields.

All the required tools are made by craftsmen in the camp.

There are not only farmland, but also fish ponds. Each fish pond is ten feet long, wide and eight feet deep.

The fry are caught from the river and are managed by dedicated personnel every day.

In addition, like the camp, mulberry trees are planted here, and chickens, pigs, and dogs are also raised.

In addition to working in the fields every day, children can also work here.

Yang Xiu visited farmland, fish ponds, and breeding farms, and saw a lot on the carriage along the way.

He knew that there were many things in the camp that he had not seen before.

However, in four words, it is people-oriented.

Use various methods to make full use of your labor force.

Convert labor into productivity and solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.

Li Ru said:"Confucius said: My husband is a boat, and a man is water. Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. If you think of danger by this, you will know it. My lord often uses this sentence to alert everyone."

Yang Xiu He sighed sincerely:"My lord is wise."

"Look, it’s the Lord’s flag!"

"The lord is here!"

"Welcome your lord!"

"Welcome my lord!"

At this time, people in the fields and on the road saluted on the roadside to greet Zhou Cheng.

At first, the team was loose, but later it became more and more dense.

More and more people came.

And the surrounding garrisons, At this time, they also rushed over.

Zhou Cang, He Man and others immediately led their troops to maintain order.

Li Ru sighed:"Everyone in the world regards the lord as a thief. If the lord is a thief, who are the princes in the world?""

Yang Xiu nodded in agreement.

At this time, Mi Heng also ran over. He was wearing a robe made of linen, with his trouser legs rolled up. His feet were bare and his body was covered with mud. It was obvious that he had just come out of the field.

Mi Heng He said to Zhou Cheng:"Welcome my lord. Zhou

Cheng looked at Mi Heng, and then said to Mi Heng:"I have brought your friend Yang Dezu. Let's go see him first.""

"Thank you, my lord!"

Mi Heng excitedly ran to the carriage in the team.

When Yang Xiu saw Mi Heng, he smiled happily.

This was the happiest smile Yang Xiu had ever seen since he met Mi Heng.
