Youzhou Prefecture, midsummer season.

Compared with the heat and heat of the people in the south, although Youzhou Prefecture is located in a remote place, its public security is stable and it is a place for peace and prosperity.

In addition, General Zhenbei is in charge here, and this place has "stable" conditions that other places do not have.

No matter what kind of world it is, ensuring stability is ensuring development.

Youzhou also has the "commercial development" supported by Cao Su's multiple policies. After a cold winter, the entire city began to enter a state of rapid development.

Although Qianyuan was an "imperial system", it was still a "city system" at the grassroots level.

The development of cities determines the prosperity of a region.

The large amount of land, houses and villages outside the city can only be used as a basic category for the development of the city without a decisive role.

Cao Su knew this well, so when he was in charge of Youzhou, he focused on the development of the city.

Youzhou Prefecture was the capital of the Yan Empire back then. Its city was very large and its population was relatively large.

After last year's "Tuxian Mountain Migration", Youzhou Prefecture City ushered in the first wave of explosive population growth.

This year, with the continued turmoil in the south, Youzhou Prefecture welcomes more residents who want to make a final decision.

"In the past half a month alone, more than a thousand people have applied to settle down one after another."

Zhongjin, who was appointed as the prefect of Youzhou Prefecture by Cao Su, was exhausted due to the household registration matter.

He ran to the General's Mansion in Zhenbei and sought instructions from Cao Su.

"Population is the foundation of urban development."

Cao Su attached great importance to this point, and after a little thought, he put forward an idea: "Is it possible to expand Youzhou Prefecture again on the original basis?"

“Expand the city?”

Zhongjin was slightly happy. He actually came to Cao Su to make this opinion.

Unexpectedly, Cao Su had a close relationship with him and had already made plans for this.

There have always been many maps in Cao Su's convention hall.

There are city construction maps including Youzhou Prefecture, and terrain maps covering the entire north. Even larger ones are even the territory maps of the entire Qianyuan Empire.

Cao Su pointed to the southern city of Youzhou.

The Nancheng area is an area that Cao Su has always focused on developing, including the current General Mansion in Zhenbei, which is also located on the streets of Nancheng: "Many refugees come from the south. After entering the city, they have been living in Nancheng."

"If Youzhou Prefecture wants to develop, the city construction must not be self-confidence."

"If you keep going south, it is not impossible to build another urn city outside of the south city."

"Of course, the premise is that there will be no war in Youzhou Prefecture in recent years. Otherwise, once the war starts, the messy Nancheng will become a breakthrough for the enemy."

Cao Su had some ideas about the development of Youzhou Prefecture. He was now at the first level of the Power Realm, and felt that Tongtian City was getting closer and closer to him.

When he was in charge of Youzhou Prefecture, he would definitely not be worried about the war in Youzhou Prefecture. As for the turmoil like other states, Youzhou shows no signs of this at present.

All the situations show that there should not be too many wars in Youzhou Prefecture in the future, and it is feasible to expand the city.

Cao Su said in a deep voice: "But the expansion staff cannot be the old man from my Youzhou Prefecture."

"Since there are so many refugees who want to enter Youzhou Prefecture from the south, let them work hard. Whoever does it well and works hard can get the first settlement certificate in your hand."

"Work-for-relief" has always been the guiding ideology of Cao Su's administration.

This time, Cao Su has never given up on this operation in dealing with more and more refugees.

Zhongjin immediately understood what Cao Su meant.

He reminded: "There are still some people who are not suitable for hard work. If you want to settle down, is there any way?"

"Of course it's a meritorious service."

"Since I, Cao, came to Youzhou Prefecture, I have only made one thing--fairness. Under my rule, fairness is always first. If there are refugees who are willing to make contributions, of course, they can also give priority to settlement to a certain extent."

Nakajin asked, "What kind of contribution?"

"The contribution of the Youzhou Prefecture is to provide some important information, or special technology that has been passed down from generation to generation, and those who are willing to use it can be used. All aspects of production and life, our Youzhou Prefecture is ready to develop, and we will be recruited from all sides of the country."

Cao Su conveyed his thoughts, and Zhongjin immediately understood.

He quickly bowed to Cao Su: "I understand."

After that, he hurriedly left the General's Mansion and continued to be his prefect of Youzhou Mansion.

The prefect and the city lord are two administrative systems that Cao Su is considering recently.

In Cao Su's eyes, the top-down bureaucratic system of the Qianyuan Empire is now relatively complicated, and the city lord is more like a city lord in the traditional sense, but has great power, politics, economy, and military all taken down by the city lord.

It can be said that some stronger city lords will almost become his fiefdom.

Such a "city lord system" is an important reason why the Qianyuan central center is weak and unable to suppress bandits.

However, in the early stages of the development of the empire, such a "city lord system" can maximize the overall strength of the empire. Some talented city lords fully utilized their initiative and built many world-famous super cities.

These super cities later became benchmarks in the world and guided the empire forward.

According to Cao Su's eyes, such a system is still too testing human nature. The establishment of the position of "Prefect" was his last bold innovation in the city lord system.

And Youzhou Prefecture is his pilot project.

The prefect took away part of the "administrative power" from Cao Su and mainly managed the daily affairs in the city.

The city lord can still have higher appeal, and at the same time, it mainly focuses on military, public security and other aspects, which is also a way to reduce the burden on the city lord.

It's a bit like the difference between the top leader and the second leader. Cao Su also considered setting up a "counselor of the state government" to manage the financial power.

In the south of Youzhou Prefecture, there are flowers and brocades on the official road.

Many refugees were turned away by the Youzhou Prefecture Gate. The Zhenbei Army, wearing black armor, was majestic, with only a few hundred people guarding them, but shocked a large number of refugees.

"What does Youzhou Prefecture mean? You don't let you go if you enter, and you don't let you go if you leave!"

Some refugees were whispering, but their mentality was not very good.

Since they arrived at Youzhou Prefecture a few days ago, they have been turned away by the officials of Youzhou Prefecture, and the officials asked them to wait outside the city.

After waiting, I waited until now.

Now that the dry food I brought is almost finished, can I survive if I don’t go to the city if I find a way to find some work?

So many refugees were anxious and a few people ran to the city gate to cause trouble.

The only one who responded to them was the bright long sword.

The Zhenbei Army looked at them coldly and refused to respond.

"What does this mean?"

The refugees were pale and very angry.

"Is it because of the evil dragon doing evil? I heard that in the past few days, an evil dragon in the Funiu Shui in the northeast direction has caused chaos. Now the entire Youzhou Prefecture is talking about the evil dragon. Where will anyone care about our life or death?"

Some people in the crowd raised their dissatisfaction.

This dissatisfaction is deeply tempted, and many people resonate with it.

"I didn't expect that I came to Youzhou Prefecture from a thousand miles away. I thought it would be a good place to settle down, but I didn't expect that Youzhou Prefecture was the same. This court has been finished. The world is so big that there is no place for us to live in."

The refugees were wailing, and more than a thousand people gathered outside the city, and soon all were ignited with anger and dissatisfaction.

But they dare not provoke Zhenbei Army.

The Zhenbei Army is no better than the government troops they have seen before. These Zhenbei Army each have a thick breath, tall figure, and a slight smell of blood that has not been washed clean.

If you go rashly to provoke Zhenbei Army, isn’t that the word “death” only?

"Let's go, you can't enter Youzhou Prefecture. Anyone who is a paradise is a lie."

Among the crowd, some refugees didn't want to wait like this and were ready to leave.

Some people set an example for leaving, and many people began to learn and leave here.

At this moment, some strange noises appeared in the Zhenbei Army.

Then an ugly young official came to the south of Youzhou Prefecture under the escort of many Zhenbei troops.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Among the refugees, there was a dirty middle-aged man.

The man's face turned pale, but he didn't expect that officials from Youzhou Prefecture would actually come forward.

Some refugees are just like this, but Youzhou Prefecture will actually come forward?

"The official's name is Zhongjin, and he is the prefect of Youzhou Prefecture."

Although the ugly man has a gentle face, because of his ugly appearance, his words are always less convincing and even a little scared.

Zhongjin's speech was smooth and he quickly expressed the meaning of Youzhou Prefecture.
