Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 756 Where can the world’s talents be found?
When Su Liao heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly. At the same time, many thoughts burst out, thinking that this method was very wonderful.

"No wonder my lord asked me to explore many pirate stronghold locations before, and even sent people in to collect intelligence. Now they all come in handy!"

Chen Zhi walked slowly and came to the middle of the room. There was a sand table, which depicted the topography of the entire Dai County and some surrounding areas.

He pointed to a sign on the north side of the sand table and said: "Daibeicheng is mainly used to house the Han people sent by Tuoba Xianbei, plus some foreigners who are accustomed to farming..."

As the words continued, Chen Zhi pointed to the middle part, where there were several vertical and horizontal ditches, representing rivers.

"As for the new city on the banks of the Sanggan River, people cannot be forcibly relocated. Although there are several large villages in the local area, the total number of households is less than [-]. That's why I ordered that the refugees will not be refused and will be resettled first. Other counties and cities have been relocated in batches, but this is still too slow, and it is impossible to achieve results within two or three years."

Su Liao listened beside him, and couldn't help but said: "Actually, there is no need to be so anxious. Although the old grandpa is suppressed now, he has not neglected his powers and duties. He is still a servant. He can always guarantee the central connection, and he has the help of Grandpa Yang. , my lord can stay in Dai County safely for at least six years. Six years is not a long time to conquer Youzhou, so there is no need to rush for three or two years."

"I'm not in a hurry, but the general trend of the world has changed too much," Chen Zhi shook his head, took his hand back, and said seriously: "In just over half a year, Shi Le in Jizhou has grown up, and almost the entire eastern Jizhou has been destroyed. He was in control, so Zhao Guocheng could be considered broken in theory, but he surrounded him without attacking. In fact, he held King Zhao in his hands as a hostage, and asked the court to throw a rat weapon, while leaving a bargaining chip. Recently I heard that he sent Zhang Bin to the court to say And, it seems like it’s about to take root.”

Mentioning the name Zhang Bin, Chen Zhi's eyes couldn't help but show regret.

Su Liao said: "This is just Shi Le's tactic to delay the war. This man is ambitious and named as a member of the Xiongnu kingdom. In fact, he has already established himself on his own. Now he sends people to make false concessions to the court. In fact, he is delaying time. He will never be willing to accept the imperial edict and live in the country. The subordinates are just a series of conquests, and they need to consolidate the territory and digest the territory they occupy, and that Zhang Bin is even more cunning, and the machine is fickle, so sending such a person to the court is definitely not for surrender!"

"Yes, but the court is also in chaos at the moment. I heard that the King of Guanghan was already at odds with the emperor. He publicly refuted the emperor's proposals several times, thus attracting opposition from several princes and princes. The two sides fell into a struggle for power. As for the unintentional organization of troops to Peiping Jizhou, he only relied on the King of Jiangdu. However, King Jiangdu suffered a small defeat in three days and a large defeat in five days. Now he no longer dares to attack. Instead, he huddles among the three eastern counties of Jizhou, building a high wall and The way he is accumulating grain, he clearly doesn’t want to take care of Shi Le anymore, and he can’t count on it.”

Su Liao looked solemn and nodded: "With Shi Le's expansion, the situation in the entire north has changed. Even the Xiongnu has been planning to raise troops to go south in the past two months. Therefore, they have recently attacked the Yanmen area, and Liu Kun has been retreating steadily. , and Youzhou became more isolated from the court, and Wang Jun acted more and more unscrupulously. I heard that he even sent a letter to Zu Ti last month, asking Zu Ti to either leave Hejian or go north to surrender. Word?"

Chen Zhi followed up and said: "Under such a situation, I really don't have time to wait for six years, and others will not give me this time. Although Daijun is prospering now, in fact, the territory is long and narrow, and the land of the Four Wars can be used by all parties." The troops are here, but the land is actually barren. Even if sweet potatoes can be grown, they may not be able to attract many people. Time waits for no one!"

Su Liao heard worry from these words, and even felt Chen Zhi's trust in him - such words were said to his face, so he naturally trusted him.

Chen Zhi then added: "The army's defeat of the thieves is only the first step. It is to quickly make money, and then to recruit grain and grass. The sweet potatoes have been planted for trial planting, and in more than two months, the winter wheat will also be harvested. I think by that time, everyone will Fang is also gearing up and preparing to use troops! We must prepare in advance! Especially the resettlement of the refugees cannot wait until then, otherwise the enemy may take advantage of it, so now I have to forcefully reduce the land rent and cultivate fields around the new city. Prepare oxen and tools, find an excuse, and distribute them to the refugees to stabilize them."

"Yes, my subordinates will go down and make arrangements right now." After receiving these instructions, Su Liao already knew the focus of the next step.Just as he was about to leave, he heard the sound of footsteps, and then saw Tong Hai hurriedly coming in with a letter in his hand.

"An urgent message from Luoyang."

Chen Zhi took it and unfolded it, his expression changed.

Seeing Su Liao looking over with confusion, Chen Zhi handed the letter over and said, "Guo Zixuan passed away."

"What?" Su Liao was stunned for a moment. After taking the letter and reading it, he couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that this grandmaster would leave at this time."

Guo Zixuan, also known as Guo Xiang, had a book "Zhuangzi Zhuangzi" handed down to the world. He was the master of metaphysics at that time and the successor of Laozi and Zhuangzi. Chen Zhi had a good relationship with him when he was working as a secretary in Luoyang.

Chen Zhi went north to Youzhou and after landing in Daijun, he also had contact with Guo Xiang. Through friendship and letters, it was a kind of famous move, which promoted the spread of Daijun paper and Dai kiln porcelain.

This person had many disciples and old friends, and Chen Zhi also benefited a lot from this connection. When he heard that he passed away, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Mr. Zixuan is the great master of the world and has friendship with me. I have to express my feelings, but I cannot go to express my condolences in person. I have to choose someone to go. In addition, there are many talents under Mr. Zixuan, and many of them are talented. Now they are the pillars. Fall down, I still have to take care of these people, they are old friends after all."

When Su Liao heard this, he realized that although Chen Zhi wanted to take care of his old disciples, he also had the idea of ​​recruiting talents. In the past six months, he had long discovered that Chen Zhi was more and more interested in recruiting others. Anyone with a special skill will not be let go. Guo Xiang, a master of metaphysics, has a wide network of contacts. Among his disciples are not only capable people, but also heirs of aristocratic families. If he can recruit one or two, he will be of endless use, so of course he cannot let him go.

When Su Liao took the order and left, Chen Zhi looked at his back, lost in thought, and muttered a few names.

"Several disciples of Zhang Bin, Zaosong, and Guo Xiang...these people have left their names in history. According to my research on the method of observing qi for more than half a year, if I can gather these people, we can unite as one. , if you gather your strength and stand together, you will be able to stabilize one side, and the plan to seize Youzhou will be more effective with half the effort. Unfortunately, the first two are already owned, so you still have to look for them from other aspects..."

Thinking like this, he came to the bronze mirror, mobilized the gold liquid of fame, his eyes flashed, and looked at himself in the mirror...
