Zhou Cheng actively promoted reforms in Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou.

At the same time, in terms of farming and people's livelihood, new reservoirs and canals were built, wells were dug, roads were laid, and bridges were erected.

In addition, a middle school was opened in the county seat, a primary school was opened in the township, and a medical center was built.

Every county market is also planned and designed in accordance with standards.

At the same time, the city walls were renovated, new yamen were built, and tax reforms and laws were further implemented.

In short, it is Zhou Cheng's intention to change the old appearance of the three states into a new one.

Of course, in this way, both human resources and materials are tilted in this direction.

However, Zhou Cheng would not just focus on domestic affairs, his goal was also military affairs.

One hundred days after his son Zhou Qi's birthday, Zhou Cheng took his civil servants and generals and set off for the Yellow River.

"The Lord is mighty!"

"The Lord is mighty!"

"The Lord is mighty!"

Zhou Cheng came to the navy station on the edge of the Yellow River.

Gan Ning led a navy of ten thousand people and shouted towards Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng rode Mo Kuang and inspected a ship under the gaze of everyone.

These ships Compared with the navy of Soochow and Jingzhou, the number of ships is not only less, but also the ships are smaller.

However, there is nothing we can do about it.

At present, Zhou Cheng's navy has just started a few years ago. According to the current speed, it can have such It’s no longer easy to reach such a scale

"It is necessary to increase the training of shipbuilding craftsmen."

Zhou Cheng specially asked Tian Chou.

Tian Chou said:"We have improved the shipwright's salary according to the lord's request."

People are very realistic.

As long as the salary is high enough, there will be many people who are willing to be shipwrights.

At present, the treatment of craftsmen under Zhou Cheng's rule is second only to military status, and similar to that of public employees.

Zhou Cheng believes that, The threat to unifying the south lies in Jiangdong.

After all, it was because of the Battle of Chibi that Cao Cao was unable to unify the world.

This is a lesson learned from experience, and Zhou Cheng naturally learned it. Zhou Cheng got off the horse, and Gan Ning followed Zhou After adulthood.

Zhou Cheng was very tall and burly. When he saw Zhou Cheng for the first time, he felt frightened.

But this time when he followed Zhou Cheng, the invisible aura exuded from Zhou Cheng made Gan Ning subconsciously cautious. Not daring to make any mistakes.

At this time, Zhou Cheng suddenly asked:"Xingba, if we capture the Jingzhou Navy again, how sure are you that you can defeat the Soochow Navy?"

Gan Ning replied:"My lord, the Jingzhou navy has been defeated by Soochow one after another and cannot be relied on.""

For Gan Ning, a losing army will only fuel the enemy's arrogance.

Gan Ning has his pride and does not like to be associated with losers.

Zhou Cheng glanced at Gan Ning, who immediately lowered his head.

Zhou Cheng Cheng asked again:"In your opinion, how many naval forces should I prepare to defeat Soochow?

Gan Ning replied:"Thirty thousand is enough.""

Thirty thousand?"

Zhou Cheng thought for a moment and then asked,"How many years will it take?"

Gan Ning replied:"The time can be long or short.""

"oh? Zhou Cheng asked:"How to shorten it?" Gan

Ning replied:"Although my lord occupies the Northern Territory, there are too few people who are proficient in the nature of water. It will take a long time to train the soldiers from the Northern Territory into naval forces. If we can win the two states of Jing and Yang, we can use the soldiers from the two states." , it only takes one year to form an army."

Everyone knows that ships in the south and horses in the north are like ships in the south.

Especially in places like Jingzhou and Yangzhou, which are land of plenty, they are not only familiar with water properties, but also make a living by boats all year round.

In this way, the naval forces at the training center have relatively high combat capabilities.

Otherwise, they will have to It takes a lot of time and effort for a landlubber to be trained to be familiar with the nature of water, and then to be familiar with fighting on a ship.

Zhou Cheng understood what Gan Ning meant, so he stopped asking and said:"If you need to refine your navy, you must become my subordinate." Elite"

"Here!"Gan Ning reacted and immediately knelt down and said,"I will live up to my lord's trust."

Elite under his command?

The navy had never fought before, and Gan Ning had never made any contribution under Zhou Cheng's command.

However, Zhou Cheng had very high expectations for Gan Ning.

When Zhou Cheng asked just now, he named Gan Ning twice. Jiangdong.

Obviously, Zhou Cheng wanted to important Gan Ning and seize Jiangdong.

Gan Ning was not stupid, and he also understood the principle of a scholar dying for his confidant.

Zhou Cheng put him in such high regard and had high hopes, so he was naturally grateful.

Then, Zhou Cheng said to Gan Ning again:"Xingba, you must remember that your journey is not just in Jiangdong."

Gan Ning was stunned when he heard this.

Zhou Cheng patted Gan Ning's shoulder and said,"The world is huge, waiting for me to conquer it."

Gan Ning felt the big hands on his shoulders, heavy and powerful.
