Wancheng has a long history. After King Wen of Chu captured Nanyang, he established Wan County here and used it as a base to attack the Central Plains. Wancheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side. The waterways in the territory extend in all directions, and the terrain is flat and rich in products. It can definitely be regarded as a city.
A place of wealth. Yuan Shu once stationed troops here. Due to harassment by Liu Biao and in order to further attack the south, he abandoned this place and went to Yuzhou and Yangzhou.
Although Wancheng today is the land of Jingzhou, there are no soldiers from Jingzhou. It was occupied by a group of yellow turban remnants from Yingchuan. After Gan Ning came to Wancheng with orders to protect the people, he sent troops to attack and captured the city in one battle.
After occupying Wancheng and driving out the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers, the local people rejoiced. Gan Ning followed Li Ru's words and posted notices to appease the people, and sent troops to clean up bandits in various places. Within half a month, there was peace around Wancheng.
When Long Fei came back, Wancheng had already settled down. When he stepped into the Yamen, he saw that the house was dilapidated and the furniture inside was covered with dust. Long Fei let out a sigh of relief, rolled up his sleeves and started to clean up the house himself. The generals behind him hurriedly helped.
Everyone worked hard and finally found a place where they could set foot.
"Sit down! This will be our home from now on! Hahaha..." Long Fei looked around and smiled: "After running around for a year, I finally have a place of my own! Everyone, work hard, and we will start from here.
, let go of your hands and feet and create a world of our own!"
Li Ru shook his head: "These are all things for later. What should we do now? This place has been devastated after Yuan Shu and the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party. The people are living in poverty. We have brought tens of thousands more people. We have to think about how to arrange them. We may not stir up excitement.
Civil volts are no joke!"
After hearing what Li Ru said, Long Fei also frowned. Maybe he was good at fighting, but he was not good at dealing with these things. Besides, he had never seen how political affairs were handled on TV. When the People's Liberation Army was conquering the world,
The policy of attacking the local tyrants and allocating their fields was used, but it was not feasible in a short period of time. Winter was about to begin, and food would not be available until the next autumn. He had no idea how these tens of thousands of people would survive the better half of the year. Long Fei glanced at it.
Looking at everyone's face, it was obvious that no one was good at it, and everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.
"How difficult is this! Redigate the ownerless land, purchase grain seeds and cattle from Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places, survive this winter, and have wild vegetables for food next spring. With General Long's wealth, it shouldn't be difficult!" A
A middle-aged man in Tsing Yi stood at the door with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the plaque of Wancheng Office at the gate.
"Xun Wenruo! Hahaha..." Guo Jia said while laughing: "With Xun Wenruo here, why should I be anxious? Hahaha..."
Long Fei had only heard of Xun You, Xun Yu, and Xun Zhan. He had no impression of who Xun Wenruo was. However, seeing Guo Jia acting like this, he guessed a little bit. He stood up in a hurry and bowed deeply to Xun Wenruo: "Sir, please teach me."
For the sake of the tens of thousands of people in Wancheng, Long Fei begs you, sir, to help me!"
"Hahaha..., my lord, why are you so polite!" Guo Jia laughed again: "This is the best student in Yingchuan Academy. I didn't expect that the Fourth Chief would ask him to come. My lord, you are so lucky! Xun Yu is here, and so on.
Little things don’t matter at all! Brother Wen Ruo, what do you think?”
Xun Yu shook his head: "Feng Xiao, Feng Xiao, your mouth is still like this!" After saying this, Xun Yu lifted his robe, knelt down and saluted: "Xun Yu pays homage to my lord!"
Long Fei hurriedly helped Xun Yu up. He was overjoyed. He understood why Cao Cao repeatedly raised troops and was invincible in the Three Kingdoms. One of the most important reasons was that Xun Yu was a person who silently supported him behind his back.
Although Yu was not as resourceful as Guo Jia and did not have the ability to lead the army as the generals, he was unrivaled in domestic affairs. This was the case with Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty. He won Liu Bang's trust and rewarded the most for his merits.
People dare to fight.
With Xun Yu's help, the remaining matters would be much easier to handle. After Yuan Shu, the son of Wancheng, left, the wealthy families moved out one after another, either to Xiangyang or to Yangzhou with Yuan Shu, leaving behind only poor people and beggars.
Yu took over a large amount of land left by the wealthy people and turned it into the general's mansion. He reorganized the plan and distributed the land to the landless people and the people of Luoyang and Chang'an who followed Long Fei.
He also asked Wang Wei to go to Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou and even Yizhou to purchase large quantities of grain and cattle and distribute them to the people. In the name of the government, he also recruited people to rebuild Wancheng and build roads around it. Of course, all these were paid for.
Xun Yu was also quite puzzled by this approach. Long Fei smiled and said: "Wen Ruo, do you know the story of the food that came?"
Xun Yu nodded. Long Fei continued: "A person who does not eat what he eats is a person with backbone. If a person goes to the battlefield without backbone, he will not be a good soldier. What I do is to let the people of Wancheng have their own backbone!"
Not to mention Xun Yu, even Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Xu Shu had no idea what conquest of the people and making money had to do with their integrity. Long Fei glanced at the crowd and smiled: "Think about it, if we blindly
The purpose is just to distribute food. These people will think that the government will always support them. If they no longer have the idea of struggle, I am afraid they will not live a good life in the future. Now I give them money and let them sell food, meat, and food from the government.
They feel at ease when they enter their mouths, because they have earned these by themselves, not from us, and this is the difference!"
Guo Jia seemed to understand a little and nodded slightly. Xun Yu asked again: "In this case, we not only have to pay the people wages, but also give them food. Doesn't it mean that we have spent two more money?"
"Hahaha..." Long Fei laughed: "Wen Ruo was wrong this time. This money can't be eaten and can't be used. What's the use of the people keeping it? In the end, it will not be used to buy grain or farming things, but it will flow into
In our hands, it just turned around in the hands of the people!"
"Oh...!" Everyone nodded repeatedly.
Guo Jia was the first to react: "In this way, not only will the people have food, but they don't have to think of themselves as beggars. This is what the Lord calls integrity!"
"Fengxiao is really smart!"
Guo Jia frowned and asked again: "Then the city wall is not endless. How will the people live when everything is over?"
"Fengxiao is not a person who governs the country. When will the official service be completed?" Zhong Yao, the school captain of Sili, appeared at the gate: "After building the city wall, build the road. After building the road, build the office. After building the office,
Then build the barracks, docks, warehouses, your lords' mansions, and His Majesty's palace. This work will never end, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete it in five or six years!"
"Hahaha..., my lord is really smart. By then, the people will be self-sufficient, and our Wancheng will have a completely new look! Hahaha..." This was the first time Li Ru laughed so freely after joining Long Fei's sect.
Zhong Yao also came from Yingchuan Academy, but he went to the imperial court earlier than others to become an official. Today he received a letter from the Fourth Chief and understood what the Fourth Chief meant, so he came to visit. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a discussion inside.
He admired Long Fei's behavior very much and reminded him when he heard it. Long Fei hurriedly asked Zhong Yao to come in.
After performing the necessary etiquette, Zhong Yao revealed the real purpose of coming here. He wanted to ask Long Fei how to settle Emperor Xian Liu Xie. As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall. Although it was said that the emperor had obtained Yingchuan
The Academy's great help has also resulted in a hot potato. A few days ago, Taifu Ma Ridan gathered a group of ministers to make trouble at Long Fei's house. They had two conditions. The first was to build a palace for His Majesty as soon as possible.
, Second, let Long Fei hand over his military power.
Long Fei did not reply immediately, but only promised that the first item would be handled as soon as possible. Military power would not be handed over under any circumstances. Even if Long Fei handed it over, tens of thousands of his men would not follow Liu Xie. However, military power must still be handed over.
A rhetoric.
Long Fei asked: "What do you think, Mr. Zhong?"
Zhong Yao looked around: "This Wancheng is a small city. Your Majesty's palace occupies a huge area and cannot be built in this city. In my opinion, the beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains and rivers is the most suitable for building a palace. What do you think, general?"
?”
Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is good! And the general can return the power to Your Majesty, so let Your Majesty stay with Your Majesty temporarily! In the spring of next year, civilians will be recruited immediately to build a palace for Your Majesty!"
Everyone here is a smart person. Zhong Yao proposed to build a palace in Jiaxia. The purpose is very clear, which is to drive Liu Xie out, but it cannot escape the control of Long Fei. Jiaxia is located between Wancheng and Funiu Mountain, away from Wancheng.
Thirty miles. If you want to go to Jiaxia, you must first pass through Wancheng. Even if there is a sneak attack, the cavalry can arrive in half an hour. Keep Liu Xie at this point and keep a distance from Liu Xie to prevent the courtiers from making trouble for no reason.
To get rid of the shackles of the emperor, secondly, this place was the place where Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu made his fortune, and it was just the right place to house Liu Xie.
With Long Fei's promise, the courtiers finally became much quieter. Wancheng started to get off the ground slowly. When Long Fei was free, he took Wang Qiang and his two children to walk around the streets, firstly to understand the sentiments of the people, and secondly.
I also came out to get some air. After several months of repairs, Wancheng City Wall has begun to take shape, and the city towers and parapets have also taken shape. The people are sweating profusely. They know that as long as they work hard, the government will give them money, and they can buy things if they have money.
Spending your days eating and shopping is a great way to go.
Just after walking around at the east gate and before going to the city, Gan Ning brought Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Pan Zhang to find him with a frown. When they met, he still said the same thing: "My lord, when will this navy be planned to be established?"
"
This was the biggest headache for Long Fei. Although he had money and got a lot of money from Yuan Wei and Dong Zhuo, he couldn't afford to spend a lot of money. It cost a lot to build the city wall, and he had to build a palace in the spring. If he continued like this, there would be a few
Yue's own family fortune was all wiped out. Xun Yu had already raised his opinion several times, but Long Fei could only apologize and let Xun Yu endure it. At this time, Gan Ning wanted to build a naval army, which made Long Fei a little difficult to deal with.
Long Fei said with a smile: "Brother Gan, haha, can we slow down the preparation of the naval army? Our Wancheng has just started, and there are many places to spend money. Now Wancheng is also on the edge of the Central Plains, and there are not many places for the navy.
, what do you think about it after some time?"
Gan Ning also knew Long Fei's difficulties and said, "In that case, I have a way to make money. My lord, would you like to give it a try?"
