Chapter 918 Changes in Pingzhou

Seeing that Shang Ji finished giving the order, Deng Yan continued: "Apart from Lu Gong, Liu Biao and Liu Yan have changed most obviously.

After Liu Biao was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou, he rode into Jingzhou alone, cleverly exploited the conflicts among the local wealthy families, and quickly won the support of the local gentry in Jingzhou through marriage and other means, basically controlling the power of Jingzhou.

However, Liu Biao's control over Jingzhou is not deep, and he can only rely on the indirect rule of the local wealthy family, lacking the support of his cronies. Moreover, Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou is being eroded by Yuan Shu, Changsha County in the south is Sun Jian's lair, Wuling County and Lingling County are being persecuted by Sun Jian. There are not many core areas that Liu Biao can really control.

As for Liu Yan, his situation is much better than that of Liu Biao.

Liu Yan was appointed as Yizhou shepherd, because Yanhuang was entrenched in Yizhou before. Under Yanhuang's oppression, Liu Yan, a Yizhou shepherd, had a false appearance, and the area he could control was limited to Shu County.

However, a year ago, the national war broke out in the foreign population, and the Yanhuang almost moved out, leaving the remaining forces extremely empty. Liu Yan took the opportunity to expand aggressively, and under Liu Yan's oppression, the Yanhuang-controlled area quickly fell. By the end of the national war, only Jianwei County was still controlled by Yanhuang, and all other areas were occupied by Liu Yan. "

Hearing Deng Yan's words, Shang Ji couldn't help smiling and said, "The dead bones in Liu Yan's tomb are nothing to worry about!"

No one knows the horror of Yanhuang better than Shang Ji!

With the end of the national war, Yanhuang's gains can be said to be the most lucrative. If Yanhuang continued to maintain its combat effectiveness during the national war, it would not be a problem to sweep South China within half a year.

However, according to Shang Ji's knowledge, after the national war ended, the support for Yanhuang's development in the flames of war was greatly reduced immediately.

For Yanhuang, the most important thing in the current period is to digest the actual benefits obtained through the national war, use the opportunity of resource redistribution, comprehensively enhance China's economic, cultural, and political influence, and seize the time to build a new world structure with China as the core. Create and improve the domestic welfare system in various aspects such as medical care, education, old-age care, childcare, housing, transportation, etc., and share war welfare with all Chinese sons and daughters.

Although beacons are important, they are nothing compared to reality. Unless it is clear that there will be a second national war, it is impossible to expect to see that kind of passionate scene where the whole country is united and united.

It was precisely because of this that Shang Ji breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, according to Yanhuang's combat effectiveness during the national war, Shang Ji would have to consider the issue of the future.

However, even though Yanhuang had already lost 90% of his fighting power at this time, with his abundant accumulation, it would not be a problem at all to kill a little Liu Yan.

Now Yanhuang is huddled in Jianwei County,

On the one hand, it is to rectify and deal with the chaotic situation caused by the transfer of a large number of personnel in the post-war era, and on the other hand, it is also to paralyze Liu Yan and wait for the opportunity to seek a fatal blow!

Deng Yan obviously also knew the inside story of Yanhuang, and he didn't care much about Liu Yan who was doomed to perish. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu have made rapid progress this year!"

"According to the lord's reminder, we have focused on their five forces and found many problems. In Lu Bu's army, the 'eight generals' have all been promoted to S-level generals, and a large number of unfamiliar but powerful troops have appeared under their command; Yuan, Cao , Liu, and Sun also had similar situations.

Although their area of ​​control has hardly changed, their overall strength has at least doubled from a year ago. "

Shang Ji nodded to express his understanding. Although the five families didn't stay for a long time during the National War Continent, they gained a lot.

And it's not just the system's preference or what's going on, the speed and depth of their absorption of Guozhan Continent far exceeds that of Shang Ji. The few people seemed to be hanging out, based on the foreign civilizations they came into contact with during the national war on the mainland, learned from each other's strengths, and completed their own transformation within the extreme event.

The current five princes, both in terms of development potential and development status, are far more than a year ago.

It can be said that excluding Shang Ji, the hero who will rule the country and win the world in the future must be born between the five of them and Dong Zhuo.

"Continue to strengthen the monitoring of these five people, and report immediately if there is any movement. By the way, don't forget Dong Zhuo, and don't underestimate Dong Zhuo just because of the foreigner's prophecy. Times have changed, and the history of the foreigner's prophecy has long been beyond recognition. We Use your own judgment."

"It's the lord!"

Chen Guan quickly stood up and replied that he has always been in charge of foreign intelligence work, and the monitoring of the six major forces is naturally under his control.

"Except for these, there are almost no changes. Liu Yu is still fighting with Gongsun Zan for the control of Youzhou; Han Fu and Qu Yi are still at odds, and Yuan Shao is watching from the sidelines."

"Well, now that we've finished talking about the exterior, let's talk about the interior of our Pingzhou. I don't know what surprises Hongzhu will bring to Brother Wei in a year's time?"

Shang Ji looked at Deng Yan with a smile, and said jokingly.

"Thanks to the lord Fuyou and his colleagues working together, during the year when the lord conquered foreign lands, the Pingzhou army remained stable. The frontier is peaceful, all industries are prosperous, and Pingzhou is also becoming more and more prosperous.

In one year, the work of registering households of the grassland tribes was completed, and the work of population migration was progressing smoothly. As of now, the total registered population of Pingzhou is 562.71 million, of which 240 million are grassland tribe people. Last year, a total of about 14 million people passed various channels Migrated and settled in Pingzhou.

In terms of grain production, the total grain output in Pingzhou in five years is 4.208 billion shi, a year-on-year increase of 30%! Last year, a total of 400 million shi of grain was imported, of which all the imported grain was supplied to the other parts of the grassland. On the premise of achieving self-sufficiency in grain, the eight counties of the Pingzhou headquarters dispatched 700 million shi of grain to the other parts of the grassland.

Last year, 90 million mu of wasteland was newly reclaimed, and the total arable land in Pingzhou reached 580 million mu. However, our Pingzhou has a vast territory, and there is still considerable potential to continue to be tapped. At present, the key factor restricting the development of our Pingzhou is still the population.

In terms of Chidao construction, we have completed the construction of Pingzhou, covering the Chidao network of all major cities in the eight counties of Pingzhou, including Zhenfan, Lintun, and Daifang. From Longhou City in the east of Pingzhou to Lulongsai in the west, the general cargo circulation time was shortened to eight days. In the next step, we plan to include other parts of the grasslands in the coverage area of ​​the road, and strive to complete the full coverage of the road in the Pingzhou control area within two years.

In terms of urban construction, Xiangping has completely consolidated its status as a royal city, and Zhenbei City has basically restored its status as a royal city after large-scale immigration filling. With the investment of a large sum of money, the remaining seven giant cities and more than 60 big cities have also been repaired and upgraded accordingly. "
