Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

……

On the other side of Danyang, the entire Lujiang River's reconstruction assistance work for Danyang has already started.

Although Zhou Xin's ability is not very reliable, fortunately Zhang Yan provided him with a complete set of reconstruction plans, and a large number of people and materials were continuously transported into Danyang. Therefore, as of the end of February, the originally barren Danyang It has gradually regained its vitality.

Zhou Xin still understands the truth that when someone votes me a peach, I should return it with Qiongnao.

Since he was unable to help Zhang Yan in terms of his personal ability, he focused his repayment entirely on his "loyalty" to Zhang Yan.

This led to the entire Danyang. Although Zhou Xin was still the prefect on the surface, whether it was the army under Zhang Yan or the merchants in Lujiang, when entering and leaving Danyang, it was as easy as returning to his own home.

……

For the people of Lujiang, this is naturally a good thing.

As long as Lujiang is still exporting supplies to Danyang, Lujiang's own market will remain in a state of low-intensity shortage for a long time.

Not only will this not cause panic, but it will appropriately stimulate the production enthusiasm of many industries in Lujiang, making Lujiang's market more prosperous.

As for those people who originally lived in Danyang...

They don't need to think about the power struggle and replacement of the upper class at all, they just need to live their lives well.

After Shanyue was defeated, no matter in the city or in the countryside in Danyang, the merchants who used to be seen less than once in ten days and a half months can now be seen once in three to five days, and the prices of daily necessities are lower than in the past. Significant drop.

Those low-level people who can't sleep peacefully because their lives are threatened by Shanyue can also take a good rest for a while.

There is no doubt that the life pressure of people in Danyang is much easier now than it was half a year ago.

The most important thing is that commodities such as grain, cloth, and simple ironware poured into Danyang at relatively low prices, which made those people who were still cruising around the edge of Danyang County and thinking about whether to flee to other places all day gradually stabilized. down.

In this day and age, no one wants to be too far away from home.Being able to live in your hometown is always better than running away and leaving your wife and children.

This led to a large-scale population rebound in Moling in the north of Danyang and Yuqian in the south.

Even according to the news from the county magistrates in various places, there are still a large number of Danyang people...or former Danyang people, who are moving back to Danyang in batches from Jiujiang County, Wu County and even Kuaiji County. Explosive population growth in Danyang.

According to the report sent back by Danyang prefect Zhou Xin, after a preliminary national census, the total population of Danyang was finally determined to be more than 57 people, and this number is still increasing.

Zhang Yan couldn't help being shocked by this number, and it also made him realize for the first time that even if an ancient county with a long history has gone through years of wars and even been repeatedly destroyed by thieves, its total population is still not what he, Lujiang, can easily touch. porcelain.

Two years ago, the official data of Lujiang's total population was 43. After Zhang Yan's blanket investigation, including those who had been hidden, the number finally stayed at around 70.

Regardless of the fact that Lujiang now claims to have a population of 150 million, the vast majority of them are due to the separation of aristocratic families from various places attracted by the large library, and the settlement of these aristocratic families has brought corresponding consumer demand and market. And eventually transformed into the underlying manpower demand, continuously attracting industrial and commercial practitioners from all over the world.

In terms of basic population, Lujiang is far inferior to Danyang.

And now Danyang, after two years of devastation, still has a population of 57...

Two years ago, wasn't the number more than 60?

Considering that Zhou Xin doesn't have the backing of a heavy army like himself, then this number must still be watery.

The family knows everything.

Even though there is no large family in Danyang now, it has almost become a habit for some families such as small landlords to hide their population.

With the advancement of various laws and regulations, the population of Danyang will definitely increase.

……

Zhang Yan can be sure that when the internal figures are thoroughly investigated and the external relocation gradually subsides, Danyang's population will at least stabilize at around 80, and may even reach 90.

Such a county town, if it is not restricted by Shanyue, its development potential will be much higher than that of Lujiang.

……

"Well, according to this statement, could it be that behind the raging Jiangdong Mountains, there are not only Zu Lang and other remnants of the previous dynasty's instigation, but also other forces intervening?"

……

"Wait, Wu Jun?"

"In the six counties of Yangzhou, only Wu County has never heard of the raging mountains... and considering that apart from Wu County, the more prosperous the development, the more serious the raging mountains..."

"Zijing, what do you mean, the root cause of these rampages in Shanyue is the funding from the Wu Jun merchant group?"

"Shanyue needs a lot of supplies to restore the country, and those guys in Wujun want to use the raging Shanyue to suppress the development of surrounding counties, so as to establish Wujun's supremacy in the entire Yangzhou, and even make profits from it..."

……

"Being like this, blinded by interests, without humanity, how is it different from a wild beast?"

……

Looking at the conjecture about the movement of the entire Yangzhou forces handed over by Lu Su, Zhang Yan felt a little horrified in his heart.

He really knew that the people of Wu County were involved behind Danyang Shanyue's counterattack and even the sneak attack on Lujiang, but he never thought that the whole scene of Yangzhou Shanyue's rampage was behind it, and it was supported by Wu County businessmen?

……

Others are making money by taking advantage of national disasters, but these people... actually take the initiative to create a national crisis to make a fortune?

……

Looking at the records in the report, Zhang Yan's knuckles turned blue from pinching.

His impression of Wu Jun is also getting worse.

……

"Ahem, lord, conjecture, this subject is only conjecture..."

Kneeling in front of Zhang Yan, a drop of cold sweat was slowly sliding down Lu Su's forehead.

He discovered this possibility by accident when he was looking at various data in Danyang.

After investigating the development speed of various places, even he, who has always been cautious, has to admit that the rise of Shanyue is too strange.

However, within a few decades, a group of survivors from the former dynasty could even directly occupy Danyang and extend their tentacles to most of the land in Yangzhou...

In the whole of Yangzhou, and even in the whole of Han, the only group that benefited from the rise of Shanyue was the businessmen of Wu County...

"My lord, although the behavior of these merchants is really hateful, but..."

"But no matter what you say, you are the prefect of Lujiang. This time you intervene in Danyang's affairs, and you are relying on the name of rescuing the little prince. If you further interfere with Wujun's affairs, I am afraid that you will be noticed by the governors from all over the country!"

"My lord, please think again, don't use your righteousness to act..."

……

Inside the official office, Lu Su cupped his hands towards Zhang Yan, and said with an ugly expression.

He could also imagine, with Zhang Yan's character, how angry he would be after learning the news.

After all, everyone in Lujiang is well-known for his protagonist's characteristic of "loving the people like a son".Now the businessmen of Wujun subsidize the bandits to harm the common people for profit...

Lu Su even regretted telling Zhang Yan about this so early.

If Zhang Yan didn't agree with each other and directly sent troops to attack Danyang, and went to settle accounts with the merchants in Wu County...then they would be in big trouble in the future!

Not to mention Jiangdong, even the whole big man would probably regard them as rebellious officials and thieves, and everyone would be able to punish them as soon as possible.

……

"Think again?"

"I think so..."

……

Expressionless, he raised his head and glanced at Lu Su in front of him. Zhang Yan didn't say much, just took a few deep breaths silently, and forcibly suppressed the resentment and complaints in his heart towards those businessmen.

……

"Don't worry, I don't like those guys, but it's because of my nature, not any hatred."

"I'm not just me, I'm also the prefect of Lujiang. I'm responsible for Lujiang's every move."

……

"Those guys... are damned, but now is not the time."

"hold on……"

"When... the time is right, I will naturally not let them go."

……

PS: Chapter 2!

It seems that the recovery is not bad today, you can continue

Chapter 41 The Guest in White

When the time is right... then what is Zhang Yan waiting for?

There is no doubt that it is naturally a letter from his good brother Cao Cao.

……

Now in Lujiang, he has already made all the preparations he can make, not to mention the abundance of food and grass, and the army of more than 6 is ready, waiting for Zhang Yan's order, and he can enter Luoyang at any time.

No matter how much, that Zhang Yan would not be able to gather any other property for a while.

Now that the rear of the Lujiang River is stable and the mountains have leveled off, this is a great opportunity to use troops against Dong Zhuo.

You know, as early as last autumn, Zhang Yanke heard the news that Luoyang had changed hands... Although there has been no movement for half a year now, but thinking about it, Dong Zhuo should have completely controlled Luoyang, right?

It shouldn't be far from his good brother Cao Cao who failed to offer a sword and fled back to his hometown Chenliu!

……

The only regret is that Zhang Yan still doesn't know what happened to his cheap adoptive father Zhang Rang now...

Did he die and throw himself into the well, or did he escape from the high wall of the palace through his relationship?

Unlike what was recorded in the Romance, Zhang Yan did not hear any news related to Zhang Rang after the palace change.

Whether it is life or death, there is no...

For a character like Zhang Rang, since there is no clear bad news, in a sense, it is equivalent to Zhang Yan hearing good news.

So Zhang Yan didn't worry too much, but made preparations silently.
