Chen Zhao seemed a little unresponsive to Ma Liang's call. Fortunately, he had done enough homework. "Sir, household registration statistics have been around since ancient times, but the specific system has not yet been clarified."
"Although the imperial court has a system of case comparison, it is just a superficial effort. I believe that in order to truly accurately measure the number of people in Chu, a new system is needed!"
According to legend, in ancient times, Yu leveled the water and soil, determined the nine states, and counted the people. This was the earliest census in China.
Chen Zhao has such experience and knowledge at a young age, which is why Ma Liang reuses him. Chen Zhao continued, "Sir, the Zuixian Restaurant opened by my mother has a statistical membership system.
Record the guests who have recharged their membership in the restaurant.”
"Although this system is simple, it can make people understand it instantly. I think we might as well try to imitate it."
Ma Liang also knew that most of the new things about Zuixian Restaurant were thought up by Liu Cong. They were first used by Chen, and others followed them after that.
As the chief officer of the Six Departments, to be honest, Ma Liang doesn't like Chen, but they don't have much contact with each other. Ma Liang is an upright person, so naturally he will not give up a nurturing talent like Chen Zhao because of Chen. But at this moment
Hearing that Chen Zhao wanted to apply merchant methods to state affairs, Ma Liang couldn't help but feel a little angry. He had always disliked merchants.
Tower reading!
After landing on Beichu Island, Lu Xun did not stay too long. After replenishing resources, he directly defeated thousands of natives on the island and the people who called themselves Yamatai and Gounu Kingdom. Lu Xun immediately raised his troops and headed north.
"General, we have sailed nearly four hundred miles since we sighted land!"
Lu Xun stood at the bow of the ship and did not reply to the scouts. He was thinking about how far away Mahan's capital was. According to the scouts sent earlier, the northern part of the Korean Peninsula had been completely included in the Gongsun family after the fall of Goguryeo.
The scope of rule has been reached. The three Koreans in the south have not yet been invaded by the Gongsun family.
Among the three Hans, the territories of Ma Han and Chen Han are already bordering the Gongsun family, and Mou Han is sandwiched between them. Ma Han is the most powerful. Xu Sheng and Chen Wu suggested that they first destroy Mou Han and Chen Han, and finally attack Ma Han.
Lu Xun put forward the opposite opinion, to destroy Ma Han first, then Chen Han, and finally to deal with Mou Han.
Lu Xun was worried that the people of the Three Han Dynasties would go to the north after hearing that there was a large army in the south. In this case, these people would be at an advantage to Gongsun Gong. Furthermore, after destroying the powerful Mahan first, the other two small countries would not dare to do so.
Surrender?
"How far is it from Jielu, the capital of Maharashtra?"
Jielu is the Chungcheongnam-do area that later became Nanbianbangzi, and is also where the capital of Mahan is now located.
Xu Sheng raised his eyes and looked up, then turned to Lu Xun and said, "General, if we land from here, we can surround Jielu within an hour at most!"
"Send the order for the army to land!"
Lu Xun's bright eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. Back then, Ma Liang went to Gongsun as an envoy and presented Gongsun Kang with a strategic plan for separatizing the Korean Peninsula. Now, if Gongsun Gong knew that the southern part of the Korean Peninsula was occupied by the Chu Kingdom, I really don't know what he would reveal.
What kind of expression does he have?

"The general has an order! The army is landing at the shore!"
"Every ship docks! Prepare to land!"
After landing on the shore, the Chu army quickly gathered. In addition to the 1,000 people who stayed on Beichu Island, there were also a total of 39,000 Chu troops here!
"Xu Sheng listens to the order!"
"The end is here!"
"I order you to lead an army of 5,000 people and go ahead. Don't worry about the people along the way. If you encounter an obstacle from the Ma-Han army, attack directly!"
"promise!"
Lu Xun stopped Xu Sheng who was about to leave, grinned, showing two rows of big white teeth, "Wen Xiang, when you arrive, send people directly into the city and ask the king of Mahan to surrender to me, the whole country of Chu!"
"I will obey your orders!"
After Xu Sheng led the army away, Chen Wu said doubtfully, "General, although Mahan is just a small country compared to our great Chu, but with only three thousand people, I'm afraid it's not enough to make the whole country surrender, right?"

Lu Xun chuckled, "That's right if he doesn't surrender. What do you think he will do to us who come to the city to persuade us to surrender if he doesn't surrender?"
Chen Wu replied without hesitation, "Then he must be killed."
After saying that, Chen Wu came to his senses. If you kill the people of Chu State, then you are the one who declared war with Chu State first. Well, even though the army has arrived in their homeland, they still have to stand on the moral high ground and provoke the war.
Put the blame on others!
"Advance the troops! Clean up the unconquered subjects!"
"General's order! All troops move forward!"
Xu Sheng didn't see any decent resistance along the way. The people naturally hid far away when they saw the army. As for Ma Han's army, he didn't see it either.
Mahan is the strongest country among the three Koreas. Even so, the population is only 178,000. With their productivity, how can they deploy a large army in the wild? Soon, Xu Sheng led the army to the capital of Mahan.
Jielu, the capital of Mahan, looks similar to a small city in Chu State, and the city walls are low and the cracks on the earthen walls make the city look like it has been in disrepair.
"General, I am willing to go to the city to persuade you to surrender!" the deputy general next to Xu Sheng said to Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng glanced at him, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said to him slightly, "Catch a few locals, put them in our clothes, give them money, give women, and let them go in to persuade them to surrender."
.Mahan and Gongsunshi border, there must be people who can speak Chinese, so hurry up and do it."

Although the deputy general was confused about why Xu Sheng did this, he did not ask any questions and called a few soldiers to order the troops.
