Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 224
Xuzhou is very different now than before.

With the decline of the gentry in various places, although Lu Bu usually didn't care much about this aspect, Chen Gong now has a firm belief in making a living for the people, and it is extremely difficult in this aspect.

He had a career as a nobleman, and now standing on the side of the common people is actually a betrayal of his own class, but between his own position and his own way, Chen Gong chose the latter, this land of Xuzhou, under his auspices , people's livelihood is getting better, and the Chamber of Commerce founded by Chu Nan is now entering a virtuous circle.

In addition, Xuzhou's grain production has begun to be suspected of being in surplus following the emergence of four seasons grain in southern Chu. Now Xuzhou has stopped absorbing grain from outside, and the focus of the chamber of commerce has also shifted from absorbing grain to other aspects, such as cloth and ore.

The handicraft industry that Chu Nan attaches more importance to has also increased with the increase in grain production, and more and more people have begun to invest in it, but it has gradually become prosperous. Nowadays, there are more and more merchants walking in the streets and alleys of Xiapi. Less, but not from the chamber of commerce.

Most of these changes in Xiapi are in their infancy. After all, it has only been a few months since the gentry was wiped out. During this period, Xuzhou also fought a three-month battle from Guangling all the way to Shouchun. In this way, the warehouses can be filled and the people can live in peace. In this troubled world, it is already a miracle.

Of course, Chu Nan's Four Seasons Grain contributed a lot.

"In the future, the Four Seasons Grain will have a very strong ability to pass on, so there is basically no need for disciples to worry about it." Chu Nan was sitting in the hall of Lu's house. His wife had already gone to the back hall to accompany his mother-in-law and the others. Palace speaks.

Holding the Renhuang sword, Lu Bu felt quite strenuous, and was looking at it carefully, while Chu Nan began to tell Chen Gong about his next plan.

He is going to completely advance the seeds, retaining the advantages of short growth cycle and sufficient quantity. In the future, even if Chu Nan does not need to strengthen them every season, these two effects of the seeds can continue forever.

"In this way, wouldn't it be the same for others to obtain this cultivation?" Chen Gong asked casually.

"Teacher, this disciple just wants others to steal it." Chu Nan laughed.

"Oh?" Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan and asked curiously, "Why?"

"Teacher, I am able to produce this product on a large scale in Xuzhou. Apart from farming, the most important thing is the land. This disciple has tamed hundreds of earth dragons in the past year. These earth dragons can reproduce in large numbers and keep the land fertile. However, the rest The feudal lords can't find these earth dragons, even if they want to grab them, they can't take them away, just farming, of course they can grow a lot of food in the first season, but from the second season onwards, the earth will start to lose its vitality." Chu Nan smiled. road.

This was a strategy he had thought of a long time ago but never used.

"Why didn't you use it before?" Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan and asked.

"There is no food." Chu Nan bluntly expressed his thoughts: "After all, the disciples feel that this plan is a bit vicious. Once used, there may be a large number of refugees in the Central Plains in the next two or three years. If it is not stable, if this strategy is used, it may attract princes to besiege."

Although this kind of cultivation is good, it requires extremely strong land cooperation. If there is no such cooperation and forced cultivation, the land is likely to be barren, and the Central Plains may be full of refugees again.

Chu Nan wanted to use this strategy, but he was afraid that there would be refugees all over the place, so he felt guilty, so he didn't use it all the time, but now it's different. There is enough food in Xuzhou. Once the food shortage in the Central Plains arises, Xuzhou can quickly absorb and resettle the refugees in the Central Plains.

Now that the pattern of the world has changed, Lu Bu has taken root in Xuzhou, and it is not something that other princes can eradicate if they want to. At this time, Lu Bu should consider more long-term things.

After looking at Chu Nan for a moment, Chen Gong nodded and said, "Not bad."

I don't know whether to praise Chu Nan for his foresight or his benevolence and righteousness.

"Teacher, have you heard about this real fairy?" Chu Nan took a sip of wine, and then looked at Chen Gong. Although he was clearly in the age of cold weapons, Chu Nan had the illusion that he was about to face the interstellar battlefield.

"I don't know much, but according to what Ziyan said, these true immortals actually come from outside the territory?" Chen Gong had no idea about planets. Although Chu Nan explained it, Chen Gong still felt that the outside world was better understood.

"Well, those who can compete with the will of heaven and earth and are rejected by the will of heaven and earth, I really don't know how powerful these people will be if they really use their means?" Chu Nan nodded.

Being rejected by the will of the planet means that the other party has the ability to contend with the will of the planet, otherwise an ordinary person might not even be qualified to be rejected by the will of the planet.

Chu Nan felt an indescribable sense of urgency. The presence of a few wandering true immortals was so powerful, so how would we deal with those who were not wandering and had their own power?
Chu Nan didn't know if there was such a large-scale fairy kingdom in this universe, but according to the information he got from Meixian, their current planet was a favorite in the eyes of the real fairy, so it was difficult to deal with.

Now according to what Meixian said, there are a few wandering true immortals coming, but no one can say for sure whether other cosmic forces will descend in the future.

Is there any strong person in Yuzhou who can directly ignore the will of the stars?

Everything is in an unknown state, and they don't have much information here. Right now, their understanding of these true immortals from outside the territory is too one-sided, but at the same time, they have a bit of yearning for the universe.

Things that could not be accomplished with such advanced technology in the previous life seem very likely to be realized in this life, and, do you think you have seen aliens?

Chen Gong sighed, looked at Chu Nan and said, "Don't be too ambitious, all I can do now is to strengthen myself, as for what you said... What's the benefit to you if you know it now?"

Chu Nan was silent, so what if he knew?The ants know that people are going to kill them, so is it meaningful to know in advance?

As the teacher said, what you can do now is to strengthen yourself. Even if the planet may explode, as long as it does not explode for a day, there is no need to worry about so many things.

"Xuzhou's foundation is now solid, what will happen next, Ziyan, has he ever thought about it?" Chen Gong diverted the topic, he didn't want to talk about such a depressing topic, it's meaningless and easy to make people want.

"Target the fields, accumulate grain, absorb the population, and compete for the Central Plains!" Chu Nan obviously thought about this question, and answered casually.

"There is enough food and grass now!" Chen Gong frowned.

"Teacher, it's not enough. When there is a war, there is not enough food and grass. Since we take it as our duty to calm the world, the people along the way can't ignore it? Every time others land, they get food. Every time we land, we consume food. .” Chu Nan shook his head.

What they pursue is different from other princes. What Chu Nan pursues is the support of the people. In this way, the higher the support of the people, the higher the luck. However, Chen Gong pursues the peace of the people and the life of the people. This is what he left behind. The important reason for Xuzhou, otherwise he who has advanced to the rank of Confucianism, no matter which princes he goes to, even if it is a famous family like Yuan Shao, he will never dare to treat Chen Gong slowly.

Because of this, Chen Gong is quite concerned about the stable life of the people. In this regard, although the master and apprentice have different goals, their goals are the same.

"Since the teacher encourages the development of business, there are many craftsmen in Xiapi now. My disciple thinks, why not take this opportunity to prosper the craftsman and business?" Chu Nan looked at Chen Gongdao, and when he communicated with Chen Gong, he would focus more on the common people , Trade, etc., Chu Nan also let Chen Gong know that craftsmen are indispensable to the imperial court, and now Xuzhou has signs of prosperity with the abundance of food and grass.

"Since there is not enough food and grass, if everyone goes to trade and work, how many people will come to farm?" Chen Gong shook his head: "What Ziyan said, I have naturally thought about it seriously as a teacher. If it is a prosperous age, it is indeed feasible. But now...Zi Yan also said that money can touch people's hearts, so that this Chamber of Commerce will not be used by others, how much manpower is Ziyan going to invest in managing this Chamber of Commerce?"

Chen Gong's meaning is very simple, commerce and industry can indeed lead the people to be more prosperous, but the world is in chaos right now, not to mention how many people are willing to lose their ancestral business to do business or work, how many people will be tempted by those huge benefits?
At that time, whether these people belong to me or not is another matter.

In order to level the world right now, stability should be the main priority. Not to mention industry, business alone is an unstable factor in troubled times. If business is over-developed at this time, it is likely to become like the Mi family now, becoming a source of nourishment for others .

In the final analysis, in this period, what should be developed is not the economy but the military. Only when the fist is hardened can one speak with confidence. Sometimes having more money is not necessarily useful.

"But this work is still useful." Seeing that Chu Nan had stopped talking, Chen Gong said with a smile. It's just that the work used today is basically for military purposes, rather than focusing on folk crafts.

Chu Nan nodded silently, then remembered something, looked at Chen Gong and said, "There is one more thing, the secret realm seems to be swallowed up by the heaven and the earth now, every time the secret realm is unlocked, the heaven and the earth will change, with many people awakening the divine power now It seems that it is because the true immortal was swallowed by heaven and earth."

"That's right." Chen Gong nodded, that's true: "And the secret realm was broken in Xuzhou, and Xuzhou should benefit the most, but because of this, in the future, there may be a large number of people with supernatural powers emerging in Xuzhou. chaos."

"Can we follow Cao Cao's example and make a wise order to gather all those with supernatural powers into the government office?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.

"Only recruit these supernatural beings?" Chen Gong looked at Chu Nan in surprise.

"That's right, we only recruit people with supernatural power, and we can even set up a special government office to accommodate people with supernatural power. They don't have to be placed in the army, but they can also be placed in the government office. Different tasks are assigned according to their different abilities." Chu Nan nodded.

In the past, there were not many supernatural beings, so they were all treasures. However, after this secret realm, there will probably be a large number of supernatural beings. It is not realistic to put them all in the army. Chu Nan feels that they should deal with this in advance. It is better to keep these supernatural beings instead of destroying or letting them go, maybe they will be of great use in the future.

"So, how about leaving this matter to Zi Yan?" Chen Gong asked with a smile.

Chu Nan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Alright, disciples will do it."
