Chapter 918: Changes in Pingzhou

Seeing that Shang Ji had finished giving the order, Deng Yan continued: "Except for Lu Gong, the most obvious changes are Liu Biao and Liu Yan.

After Liu Biao was appointed as the assassin of Jingzhou, he rode into Jingzhou alone, skillfully took advantage of the contradictions between local wealthy families, and quickly won the support of the local scholars in Jingzhou through marriage and other means, and basically controlled the power of Jingzhou.

However, Liu Biao's control over Jingzhou was not deep, and he could only rely on the indirect rule of the local wealthy clans, lacking the support of his henchmen and minions. Moreover, Nanyang County in the north of Jingzhou is being eroded by Yuan Shu, Changsha County in the south is Sun Jian's lair, and Wuling County and Lingling County are being forced 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 Liu Biao.

Liu Yan was appointed as the pastor of Yizhou, because Yanhuang had been entrenched in Yizhou before, and under the oppression of Yanhuang, Liu Yan, a pastor of Yizhou, had a false appearance, and the area he could control was only limited to Shu County.

However, a year ago, the national war broke out in the mouth of the aliens, and Yan Huang almost moved into the nest, and the remaining forces were extremely empty. Liu Yan took the opportunity to expand vigorously, and under the pressure of Liu Yan, the Yanhuang control area fell rapidly, and by the end of the national war, only Jianwei County was still controlled by Yanhuang, and all other areas were occupied by Liu Yan. ”

Listening to Deng Yan's words, Shang Ji couldn't help but smile and said, "Liu Yan's grave is dry, don't worry about it!" ”

No one knows better than Shang Ji how terrible Yan Huang is!

At the end of the national war, Yanhuang's harvest can be said to be the most abundant. If Yan Huang continues to maintain the combat effectiveness of the national war, it will not be a problem to sweep through South China within half a year.

However, as far as Shang Ji knew, after the end of the national war, the support for Yan Huang's development in the beacon fire was immediately greatly reduced.

For Yan Huang, the most important thing in the current period is to digest the practical gains obtained through the national war, take advantage of the opportunity of resource redistribution, comprehensively enhance China's economic, cultural and political influence, and seize the time to build a new world pattern with China as the core. We should create and improve the welfare system in China in various aspects such as medical care, education, pension, childcare, housing, and transportation, and share the benefits of war with all Chinese sons and daughters.

Although Beacon Fire is important, it is not as realistic as it is in any case. Unless it is clear that there is a second national war, I don't want to see that kind of bloody scene where the whole country is united and the whole country is united.

It was precisely because of this that Shang Ji breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, according to the combat effectiveness shown by Yan Huang during the national war, Shang Ji would have to consider the problem of the back road.

However, even though Yan Huang had lost ninety percent of his combat effectiveness at this time, with his strong accumulation, it was not a problem to kill a small Liu Yan at all.

Now Yan Huang Turtle is shrinking 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-national 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 Yan Huang, and he didn't care much about Liu Yan, who was doomed, and continued: "Unlike Liu Yan and Liu Biao, who are glamorous on the surface but are actually in danger, according to our investigation, we found that Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu have made rapid progress in this year! ”

"According to the tips of the lord, we have focused on the control of their five forces and found a lot of problems. In LΓΌ Bu's army, the 'Eight Warriors' were all promoted to S-level generals, and a large number of unfamiliar but powerful troops appeared under his command, and similar situations occurred in Yuan, Cao, Liu, and Sun.

While the size of their zone of control has barely changed, their overall strength has at least doubled compared to a year ago. ”

Shang Ji nodded in understanding, although the five families did not stay long 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 the national war continent far exceeds that of the merchants. A few people were like hanging up, learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses according to the exotic civilizations they came into contact with during the National War Continent, and completed their own transformation in extreme events.

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 heroes who will dominate the mountains and rivers in the future will inevitably be born between the five of them and Dong Zhuo.

"Continue to strengthen the monitoring of these five people, and report any movement immediately. By the way, don't forget Dong Zhuo, don't despise Dong Zhuo because of the prophecy of the Inhuman, the times have changed, the history of the Prophecy of the Inhuman has long been unrecognizable, we have to rely on our own judgment. ”

"It's the lord!"

Chen Guan hurriedly got up and responded, he has always been in charge of foreign intelligence work, and the monitoring of the six major forces is naturally under his control.

"Other than that, little else has changed. Liu Yu is still intriguing with Gongsun Zhan for control of Youzhou; Han Fu and Lu Yi are still in harmony, and Yuan Shao is watching from the side. ”

"Well, after talking about the outside, let's talk about the inside of Pingzhou. I don't know what surprises Hongzhu brought to my brother in a year? ”

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

"Thanks to the blessing of the lord and the concerted efforts of his colleagues, the Pingzhou army remained stable in the year of the lord's expedition to foreign lands. The frontier is tranquil, all industries are prosperous, and Pingzhou is becoming more and more prosperous.

In the past year, the work of organizing households and gathering people among the grassland tribes has been completed, and the work of population migration has progressed smoothly. Up to now, the total registered population of Pingzhou is 562.71 million, of which 240 million are grassland tribe people, and a total of about 14 million people have migrated to Pingzhou through various channels last year.

In terms of grain production, the total grain output of Pingzhou in the past five years was 4.208 billion stones, a year-on-year increase of 30 percent! Last year, a total of 400 million stone of grain was imported, of which all the imported grain was supplied to the grassland department, and the eight counties of Pingzhou headquarters transferred 700 million stone of grain to the grassland department on the premise of achieving grain self-sufficiency.

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

In terms of Chi Road construction, Pingzhou has been completed, covering the eight counties of Pingzhou, including Zhenfan, Lintun, and Daifang counties, and all major cities including Chi Road network. From Longyu City, the easternmost city of Pingzhou, to Lulongsai, the westernmost point of Lulongsai, the general goods circulation time was shortened to eight days. In the next step, we intend to include the grassland part in the coverage of the Chi Road, and strive to complete the full coverage of the Chi Road in the Pingzhou control area within two years.

In terms of urban construction, Xiangping completely consolidated the status of the royal city, and after a large number of immigrants filled it, the northern city of Zhenbei was basically restored. With the investment of large sums of money, the remaining seven giant cities and more than 60 big cities have also been repaired and upgraded accordingly. ”
