The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Outside Puyang City.

It was spring plowing at this time. However, because of the confrontation between Zhou Jun and Yuan Jun, no one dared to come out to plow.

As a result, the fields are overgrown with weeds.

Of course, it is not only farmers who are affected, but also hunters who rely on selling mountain products and wild animals. Life is also difficult.

Due to the impact of the war, they were unable to enter the city, and they could not sell the wild animals they hunted and picked, and exchanged them for grain and salt.

But in Puyang, Ji Lingcai had no time to care about the lives of civilians.

However, in order to defend the city and prevent spies, strict control has been implemented in the city.

Except for wealthy families, the food of common people was searched out, and only a very small amount of food was given to them every day.

The troops led by Ji Ling were all Yuzhou soldiers and Yangzhou soldiers. They didn't care about the lives of Yanzhou people.

Although no one in the city has died of starvation, everyone is living in hunger.

Moreover, the worst thing is that after the war, because you can't go out of the city to farm, how will you survive?

……

Zhou army camp.

Zhou Cheng made up his mind to focus on consumption.

And he also used the tent of the marching camp as an office space.

Official documents sent from various states every day will be delivered to Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng snorted coldly:"The army has been going south for less than half a year, and trouble has occurred in many states and counties."

There are many people who are dissatisfied with Zhou Cheng's rule.

Why should Zhou Cheng rule the north?

Zhou Cheng's background is indeed humble and unconvincing.

In an era when the scholar-bureaucrat class was the ruling class, Zhou Cheng's identity was not only controversial, but also his inability to become the 'co-owner of the world'.

However, Li Ru's suggestion is also good.

Those who cause trouble will be exterminated.

Since it has already caused trouble, it will be destroyed without mercy.

For example, the Liang family that was causing trouble has now been exterminated, and all the men and women of the Liang family have been beheaded.

Jia Xu said:"That's fine, it's just a hidden worry. Get rid of it now and you'll have nothing to worry about in the future.""

"Well, what the teacher said makes sense."Zhou Cheng continued to read official documents and memorials.

Among the six departments, the Ministry of Husbandry sent the most memorials.

Tianchou needs to build new water conservancy projects and pave roads at the same time.

Only the roads are open, which is convenient for carriages and horses to travel, with mobility, and for the transfer of troops and horses..

Just like highways.

The initial purpose of highways in each country is to facilitate the country's military.

The second is to facilitate people's livelihood.

Zhou Cheng basically approved the construction of roads, bridges and new water conservancy projects.

Although because of the southern expedition of the army, With thousands of gold spent every day, Zhou Cheng's finances are tight.

However, Zhou Cheng understands that only by building new water conservancy projects can the harvest be guaranteed, so as to avoid no harvest during floods and droughts.

The people's livelihood is peaceful, the people live in peace, and the people under the rule Only by ruling can stability be achieved.

Zhou Cheng knew that there were many people in the north who wanted to oppose him, but he knew how to do it step by step. If

Jizhou can be governed well, so can Qingzhou, and the same can be said of Youzhou.

The food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the work must be done bit by bit.

Zhou Cheng Cheng's ideas and actions were admired by Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Yang Xiu and others.

Although Zhou Cheng was not considered the master of saints, in their eyes, he was considered a wise master who was considerate of the people and made his own decisions.

At this time, Zhou Cheng saw Zhang Yan's memorial.

Zhang Yan claimed that Bingzhou was short of food and hoped that Zhou Cheng could support Bingzhou with one million shi of grain to help Bingzhou survive the spring plowing.

Bingzhou had suffered a serious population loss due to wars and Huns' plunder.

Although Zhang Yan added the population of Heishan to Bingzhou, Zhang Yan and others had the talent to be bandits, but not the talent to be officials. The land of one state could not feed the people of one state.

At that time, Zhang Yan There is also a reason. After all, the Black Mountain Army went out to conquer Yongzhou and Liangzhou to assist Zhou Cheng in capturing Liangzhou and Yongzhou.

Zhou Cheng thought for a while and said:"Zhang Yan has something to ask of me. If I don't agree to it, he will definitely hate him. If he agrees to it, he will hate it." , then the food shortages in various states and counties will be huge."

All over the world, it's not just Bingzhou that is short of food.

If Zhou Cheng is willing to allocate food to Bingzhou, then Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou, etc. all want Zhou Cheng to allocate food.

Only children who can cry will have milk to drink.

Zhang Ji, Du Ji and others also asked Zhou Cheng for money and food.

It's not that Zhou Cheng didn't give it, it was just that he didn't give much.

After all, there were too many places where money and food were needed, and Zhou Cheng himself was not that rich.

A clever woman It’s hard to make a living without rice.

The problem of insufficient money and food is not Zhou Cheng’s problem alone.

In order to solve the problem of money and food, Cao Cao digs people’s ancestral graves in peacetime and eats people during war.

However, Yuan Shu and others are supported by aristocratic families, and when they don’t care about the lives of civilians, It can be maintained.

Li Ru smiled and said:"Master, if you want money and food, I have a plan.

Zhou Cheng asked,"What's the plan?""

Li Ru presented a letter to Zhou Cheng.

After Zhou Cheng read it, he closed it calmly.

It seemed calm, but in Zhou Cheng's heart, he was thinking, 'Why didn't I think of that?'

" Li Ru said:"My Lord , this is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.

Zhou Cheng thought for a while and said,"In that case, it will be up to Wen You to execute it.""

"It is someone's responsibility to share the Lord's worries."

Li Ru replied.

Pang Tong and others on the side looked at it and were all confused.

I don't know what strategy Li Ru offered when he fell to the ground.

However, it must be shady.

Otherwise, there is no need to be so secretive.
