Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 426 Zhou Yu's Argument
Cao Ang and Sun Ce discussed privately and planned to order a large number of Quyuanli.

They must pay the 800 million copper coins.

I'll hand it in after seeing it.

The two reached a tacit agreement, and at the same time wrote letters to their families, asking them to send money.

Cao Ang wrote a detailed letter, and asked Cao Cao to buy a large number of cattle, and asked him to count the folk cattle.

As long as there is Qu Yuanli, his 15 reclamation team, multiplied several times, they can feed hundreds of thousands of troops.

Cao Ang calculated carefully, if 15 people can have 50 cattle, then they can feed at least [-] troops.

In this way, it is very cost-effective, so Cao Ang attaches great importance to it.

The same is true for Sun Ce. He intends to use Cao Cao's model to gather some people to reclaim fertile land. They want Dongting Lake. As long as they occupy a part of Dongting Lake, they don't have to worry about food and grass.

The two started operations in Beiping New Town and passed the news back.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, Sun Ce and the others had been in New Beiping City for a month.

Here, you can clearly see the changes here.

New Peiping City is very dynamic, with a large population and many scholars.

It is normal to often encounter scholars on the road, and they even think that New Beiping City is a place where scholars from all over the world gather.

A large number of people enter the library here every day.

The books here are becoming more and more abundant, there are already hundreds of thousands of volumes, and the number is still increasing every day.

It is normal to break through one million copies when.

One month later, Zhou Yu finally entered New Beiping City with Sun Shangxiang and a group of followers.

Zhou Yu inspected Qingzhou for ten days, and then visited Youzhou for another 20 days before entering New Beiping City.

At this time, Zhang Ming's marquis ceremony is not far away, only ten days away.

Zhou Yu found Sun Ce.

"Bo Fu."

"elder brother."

Sun Ce didn't say much, but took them to the yard.

Here, Zhang Ming prepared a temporary yard for Sun Ce to serve as a temporary residence.

Sun Shangxiang, at this time, is already slim.

She was dressed in men's clothing and was very handsome.

If it's not a daughter, it's a handsome little brother, the kind who can charm thousands of girls.

Sun Ce asked someone to bring tea.

"Gongjin, you have worked hard all the way."

"Brother, you only care about Gongjin, and I work hard too."

Sun Ce doted on his younger sister and said, "You are the only one who likes to make trouble."

Zhou Yu drank a few sips of tea and said, "Bo Fu, you have someone spread the word, what is going on with Qu Yuanli?"

Sun Ce gave a detailed introduction, and then said, "I'm already planning to order a batch, and I'll organize farming when I get back."

If that's the case, Zhou Yu will naturally support it very much.

Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu, we should unite with Cao Cao now. Zhang Ming has developed too fast. I inspected it in detail this time and found that he is much stronger than the last time I came."

Sun Ce was also very dignified.

He said worriedly: "Now, what's the point of our alliance with Cao Cao?"

Sun Ce is not only far away from Zhang Ming, but also very far away from Cao Cao.

Such a combination, in fact, does not have any substantial help.

"For the time being, we only need to maintain a good relationship. In addition, we also need to build our strategic rear."

Strategic rear?Are they in need?

Sun Ce couldn't be sure.

Sun Ce asked, "Gong Jin, what conclusions have you made from this investigation?"

"Zhang Ming has formed his own system. His governance method is unique and efficient. It is undoubtedly a disaster for the family."

"In the past, many people judged that without the support of the aristocratic family, it would soon collapse. The larger the territory, the easier it would be to collapse."

"But now, the conclusion I have come to is not that Zhang Ming can quickly pacify the place and suppress the family."

"Furthermore, the officials he trained are of high quality and able to implement Zhang Ming's policies. In the past, officials from many aristocratic families first took care of their own interests, and then the interests of the people."

"Now, Zhang Ming doesn't need to rely on any family at all. He has cultivated a huge group of scholars. These people only follow Zhang Ming's lead. Zhang Ming's policies can be implemented very well."

Zhou Yu spoke highly of it, and he said to Sun Ce: "Nowadays, it is impossible for Zhang Ming to collapse on his own. If we want to maintain our current position, we have to let Cao Cao block Zhang Ming so that he cannot go south."

Sun Ce nodded, and then asked, "What should we do? Can Cao Cao stop this?"

"Maybe, maybe not, so we have a strategic plan now."

"First, actively go south to expand our territory and increase our strategic space."

"Second, accumulate food widely."

"Third, increase the reserve army, which is similar to Zhang Ming's militia system."

Zhou Yu began to plan for Sun Ce.

He wants someone to lead a team down south to reclaim the land in the south.

Sun Quan accepted everything, and discussed the details with Zhou Yu.

Sun Shangxiang felt bored, she didn't understand these things, so she went to play by herself.

This trip to Youzhou also had a great impact on Sun Shangxiang.

She visited many places with Zhou Yu and learned many things.

He has also seen other places, where the people are in dire straits, and the people have no hope at all.

Only here, the people live easily and have hope.

She likes this kind of atmosphere very much, because others are uncomfortable, and she can't be happy under this kind of atmosphere.

Zhou Yu planned a grand strategy for Sun Ce.

Sun Ce bought Quyuanli, and he also wanted to do a big job.

They decided to take a good look at New Peking City in the next few days.

Zhou Yu looked at it from the perspective of folk customs and economics and culture, while Sun Ce looked at it from the perspective of military affairs.

From a military point of view, Sun Ce felt that as long as there were 3 people in the city, it would be difficult for the enemy to break through.

In New Beiping City, there are more and more people from outside.

It has also become a cultural and economic center.

Here, more and more scholars are here to discuss knowledge, and various academic studies are produced here.

There are more people coming and going to do business.

Time passed slowly, and there were only a few days before the Marquis Sealing Ceremony.

Many people in the city began to clean the streets and their yards independently.

They want to welcome this moment, to welcome this moment.

Finally, the grand ceremony is about to begin.

This time, hundreds of people were invited to participate, and these people are relatively famous people.

Many people came from all over the place.

And the people in the city are like celebrating a festival.

Zhang Ming held the grand ceremony, and they were sincerely happy.

At around 09:30 in the morning, Zhang Ming appeared in front of everyone in a python robe.

"It's actually a python robe."

"This is not a simple ceremony."

"What does Zhang Ming want to do?"

Zhang Ming did not announce the matter of wearing the python robe in advance, and he did not disclose it to outsiders.

However, this time, he was indeed wearing a python robe.

As soon as the python robe appeared, many people began to discuss it.

For Zhang Ming's subordinates, this is naturally no problem, they are very happy to see this.

As Zhang Ming's status rose, so did their status. Many people even secretly called for Zhang Ming to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

Zhang Ming naturally wanted to, but he had to take it step by step.
