Chapter 333 Fa Zheng surrenders and lays out his plans in Yizhou

Hefei, General Office.

Chu Feng is dealing with government affairs, and the start of school is getting closer and closer. All kinds of things needed for military training need to be prepared, including the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that will be needed later.

Even tables, chairs, benches, books, etc., these are all urgently needed!

In short, the government quickly recruited people to build schools, expand schools, and make every effort to prepare for the first start of school. During this period, Zhuge Liang was under the greatest pressure.

Although Zhuge Liang is young, he still serves as a teacher. He not only has the knowledge taught by Chu Feng, but also knows some of his personal opinions.

Some people may be dissatisfied at first,

But after listening, everyone applauded and praised.

However, due to the opening of the school, countless employed people have been added, including paper making, printing, pen making, carpenters, masons, various lumber, brick factories, and tile factories.

Papermaking requires cutting down trees and bamboo, and bamboo trees need to be transported and processed. Each line adds countless jobs.

Although these are all borne by the government,

But what Chu Feng wants is to let the government bear the burden and stimulate domestic construction at the same time. When the people have enough money, they will naturally consume it and drive other economic development.

Each production line is generally done by businessmen, which is equivalent to outsourcing.

Because of the booming development of commerce, both water transportation and land transportation have ushered in new vigorous development.

Expansion, canal transportation was once again widened and deepened, and the north-south channel connecting the Yangtze River and Huaihe River passed through Hefei. This move will create countless jobs for people.

As for the galloping roads on land, Chu Feng once again ordered to widen and increase the paving of galloping roads, at least to ensure fast and smooth travel between cities.

Chu Feng knew that the development of the Central Plains still relied on Hefei, so Hefei built another wharf, added another shipyard, and countless ships sailed on the river.

All of this is developing rapidly.

Chu Feng's investment in all this is really impressive, but to put it bluntly, all this money will be passed on to the people in the form of objects. As long as the economy can keep up with it and there will be no inflation, it will not matter if there is more currency issuance.

I'm afraid that if more money is issued, people's income will decrease.

For a time, there were countless various workshops along the water transportation road in Hefei, all of which were related to people's livelihood. They had various kinds of workshops. With the support of the government, they developed rapidly.

At this moment, the first one comes.

Lu Su came quickly, looked at Chu Feng and said, "My lord, Fa is asking for a meeting outside, but we have forgiven him for long enough!"

"Haha, I finally forgot about him!"

Chu Feng smiled awkwardly, and then stood up in person: "Let's go, let me greet him."

Lu Su raised his eyebrows, stroking his beard and sighing, so that Chu Feng could come out to greet him personally. It seemed that this Dharma rectifier was quite capable, so Lu Su immediately followed him out to greet him.

"Xiao Zhi, I have admired you for a long time. I am busy with government affairs these days and I really don't have time to meet you. I hope you will forgive me for your neglect!" Chu Feng looked at the dignified Fazheng and immediately shouted cordially.

Fazheng was stunned for a moment, Chu Feng personally received him?

But this man is so young, it's sad to say that he is a heroic young man.

As for the neglect, he had indeed seen Chu Feng's recent actions. He thought that Chu Feng was really busy, so it was rare to be able to meet him today.

"Mr. Chu's words are serious!" Fazheng clasped his fists.

"Come, let's go into the mansion and talk in detail!" Chu Feng grabbed Fazheng's forearm and strode towards the mansion.

Fazheng didn't adapt to Chu Feng's familiarity for a while, so he went in awkwardly.

"Xiaozhi, I have indeed been neglectful in recent times, but I think Xiaozhi has also gotten to know the daily habits of the people of Hefei during this time!"

Chu Feng asked with a chuckle.

"Everyone in Jiujiang has a ruddy complexion, and Hefei is even more like a fairyland in troubled times, which is fascinating. All these are the great achievements of Duke Chu, which are admirable."

Fazheng's eyes were blazing, and everything he said was from the bottom of his heart.

He had heard a little bit about the dilapidation of Jiujiang in the early years, but the development of Hefei was visible to the naked eye. It was changing almost every day, and it would definitely look brand new after a year.

"It's been said, it's been said!"

"I'm just doing some practical things to help the people!" Chu Feng waved his hand, disapprovingly.

Seeing that Chu Feng was neither arrogant nor impetuous, Fa Zheng couldn't help but nod. Ordinary young people would have been proud and complacent if they achieved such achievements, but he was so calm and indifferent.

It seems like everything is as it should be.

"Mr. Chu, there is actually something I don't understand. Now that you have not yet unified the world, you have three pillars. Cao and Yuan have formed an alliance. The situation for you, Gong Chu, is not optimistic."

"But at this time, you introduced the imperial examination system and enlightenment education. These measures are undoubtedly against the aristocratic family and destroy the foundation of the aristocratic family's survival!"

"By doing this, aren't you afraid of becoming an enemy of the world's noble families? As a result, you will not be able to unify the Han Dynasty?" Fazheng looked at Chu Feng, this was what he wanted to know the most.

"Haha, if you are afraid of me, why bother fighting for this world?"

"If you are afraid of these people, even if you don't fight against them, what's the use of unifying the Han Dynasty? If the system is not changed, the dynasty will just be a dynasty that has been in a hurry for hundreds of years, and the iron-clad family is running smoothly!"

"At that time, it will still be the common people who will suffer, and it will still be our Han nation that will stand still, and we will even be oppressed by foreigners, and suffer hundreds of years of oppression, etc."

"And what I need to do is to make the Han nation stand on top of the world, and to make the foreign races fear, be afraid, and revere the Han people from the bottom of their hearts, that's all!"

Chu Feng sneered. As his strength became stronger and stronger, he really didn't take the family seriously, or in other words, he had the leverage to challenge the family.

"This" Fazheng was stunned for a moment,

He couldn't believe that these words were said by a young man in his twenties. His plan was no longer limited to the immediate situation? It was for the entire nation?

For the entire nation to stand on top of the world?

These damn arrogant words, if other young people had said them, Fazheng would have scoffed at them, but these words came from Chu Feng, so he couldn't help but not believe them.

Suddenly some thoughts came to his mind,

Can what Chu Feng said be realized?

If it were realized, what would the big man be like at that time?

Seeing that Fazheng was stunned for a long time and could not recover, Chu Feng said: "Xiaozhi, I heard from the people below that Liu Zhang sent you here to discuss the alliance?"

"Exactly!" Fazheng nodded.

"Mr. Chu, I think you also know that Cao Cao has captured Xiliang and has nearly 200,000 troops under his command. However, his next target is only Yizhou. He has already stationed troops on the border and is eyeing it."

"Yizhou is a land of abundance, with millions of people and a surplus of wealth. If Cao Cao is allowed to capture Yizhou, it will definitely not be good news for you, Mr. Chu, right?"

Fazheng looked at Chu Feng, trying to find out the joy and anger on Chu Feng's face.

"Of course!" Chu Feng spread his hands and said.

"But Liu Zhang is also worried about me taking Yizhou, right? After all, both Cao Cao and I are determined to conquer the world, and Liu Zhang can't possibly not know that."

Chu Feng chuckled and spoke directly.

Fazheng sighed slightly at Chu Feng's lack of shyness, and immediately said: "Mr. Chu, even so, Cao Cao is sitting in Hanzhong, right at the gate of Yizhou."

"Compared with Cao Cao, Chu Gong is more like an ally!"

"Haha, Xiaozhi, do you think Liu Zhang has a chance of winning whether he faces me or Cao Cao?" Chu Feng did not continue the topic and asked directly.

"This" Fazheng hesitated. If there was a chance of winning, there would be no need to form an alliance: "To be honest with Mr. Chu, in my opinion, the chance of winning is less than 50%!"

"Fifty percent? Haha, 10% is overestimating Liu Zhang!"

"Liu Zhang is weak, so how can he be Cao Cao's opponent? Whether it is me or Cao Cao, once the war begins, Yizhou will only trust Cao or Chu, not Liu!"

"When the war begins, Yizhou, known as the land of abundance, will inevitably be destroyed in the war. By then, some people will be displaced, some will starve to death everywhere, and some will eat each other."

"Do you think it's worth sacrificing the homes of millions of people for the benefit of the superior?" Chu Feng stared at Fazheng closely and asked word by word.

"I" Fazheng was silent.

Is it worth it? Is it really worth it? Maybe not!

Chu Feng's words echoed in Fazheng's mind like a curse, because he didn't know if it was worth it, but his instinct told him that it really wasn't worth it.

But if the war takes care of itself, what can he do?

"Everything in the world is for profit. Even if I form an alliance with Liu Zhang today, do you think I will try my best to help him? Do you think I won't covet Yizhou?"

"Instead of deceiving ourselves and others, it is better to make the people less homeless, and the Han people should be united in dealing with the outside world!" Chu Feng looked at Fazheng again, and his words were even more inductive.

Chu Feng's words are very straightforward, but every word hurts his heart, because no one will help you wholeheartedly, it is all for profit, and the victims of the profit are all the common people.

The more I think about it, the more confused my mind becomes.

Originally it was just a simple mission,

But Chu Feng was like a poisonous person. After a few words of Fa Zheng, his heart was confused. It was as if the lives of millions of people were suddenly pressing on his shoulders, making him unable to breathe.

"How, how can we prevent the people from making unnecessary sacrifices?" Fazheng asked in a strange way.

"Who do you think can end this troubled world today?" Chu Feng asked Fazheng with a chuckle and confidence.

"This" Fazheng looked at Chu Feng, and he already knew the general meaning of Chu Feng.

"In today's world, only I can end the troubled times."

"If Xiaozhi wants millions of people to live and work in peace and contentment and live a prosperous life, you might as well join me. After returning to Yizhou, you can win over Yizhou officials and welcome me to Shu."
