The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1252 Excavating the Grand Canal!

With the spread of these people, the barbarians in the mountains are also full of yearning for the life in the Han city.

For a while, a large number of barbarians took the initiative to go out of the mountains to join the big man.

As for the last group of barbarians who refused to come out of the mountains, Liu Yu adopted the strategy of using troops.

The barbarians were lost several times, so they were naturally no longer the opponents of the Han army. A large number of barbarians were captured by the Han army, living in the mountains, and accepting the education of the big man.

After leaving the mountain, these barbarians realized that after surrendering to the big man, it was really good.

There is inexhaustible food, and the dishes finally have taste. The barbarians live in the mountains, and the most scarce thing is salt. Now they have finally tasted the benefits of going out of the mountains, and they are no longer willing to go back.

In one year, Liu Yu led the soldiers of Jingzhou, pacified the four counties in southern Jing, and captured nearly 50 Nanman population. Only a very small number of them hid in the depths of the mountains and refused to come out. It is the era of advanced communication in later generations, and many people live in the mountains isolated from the world.

On the plains of the four counties in Jingnan, cities and villages sprung up one after another. The Nanman entered these cities and settled in the villages. On the nearby plains, vast farmland was also reclaimed.These barbarians were gradually assimilated by the great Han and became Han people.

However, during this period, there will naturally be frictions. It will take at least ten years to truly assimilate into Han Chinese.

It has been three years since Yizhou was pacified.

In the second year of Yong'an, Yizhou also launched a war against Nanzhong.

Unlike the Jingnan area, the barbarians in Yizhou Nanzhong did not have many friendships with the big men.

And after Sima Yi fled to Nanzhong, he even made waves and contacted barbarian kings from all over the country to rebel.If it weren't for Meng Gong's pressure in Nanzhong, the barbarians would have already entered Shuzhong.

In the spring of the second year of Yong'an, Liu Bian ordered Gao Jiong to lead his troops to the south to join Meng Gong and pacify the Nanzhong area.

Gao Jiong and Meng Gong are both peerless commanders, and Yizhou has developed for several years and has become very prosperous. There are also generals Qin Huaiyu, Yang Jizhou, Han Qinhu and others.

Although the Southern Man has Sima Yi making waves and making waves, they come from various tribes and cannot work together. In addition, their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Han army, and they cannot keep up with the lack of food and grass. How can they be the opponent of the Han army.

After fierce fighting in March, Nanzhong was flattened.

Sima Yi was captured and killed during the war, and his head was dedicated to Luoyang.

After Nanzhong was pacified, it was natural to carry out the work of assimilating the barbarians in Nanzhong.After experiencing a big defeat, the Nanzhong barbarians naturally did not dare to be enemies of the Han army, and they unconditionally agreed to the policies of the Han army.

The barbarians in Nanzhong also slowly moved out of the mountains to live in the plains, and crops such as corn and sweet potatoes were introduced into Nanzhong, and Nanzhong gradually prospered.

There are many precious stones and agates in Nanzhong area, so Liu Bian ordered people to mine them in Nanzhong.

Due to the lack of salt in Nanzhong, Liu Bian encouraged businessmen to do business in Nanzhong to stimulate the economy of Nanzhong.

In addition to the political and economic center, if a region wants to prosper, it must have its own characteristics and main products.

For example, in the central area of ​​Sichuan, Shu brocade is famous all over the world, and merchants from all over the world flock to it, which stimulates the prosperity and development of the central area of ​​Sichuan.Nanzhong now relies on mining gemstones to attract merchants, thereby stimulating economic prosperity.

However, if the south wants to develop, it has to drive Jiaozhou.

The main commodity in Jiaozhou is salt.

Jiaozhou is close to the sea, with a coastline as long as thousands of miles.

To develop, it is natural to develop the sea and mine sea salt.

In this era, there is no concept of mining sea salt.

People's edible salt comes from salt wells, mines are mined from the ground, and brine is taken to make salt.

With the technology of later generations, mining well salt is naturally a breeze, but in the Three Kingdoms period, the mining of well salt was very cumbersome. It took several years to mine a salt well, and the technology was backward, and the well wall was prone to collapse.Sometimes it has been mined for several years without any results.

In the Yizhou area, there is a great lack of salt. In the late Shu and Han Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, the people had a variety of dishes, partly because the people lacked salt.

The people in Nanzhong and Jingnan areas mainly eat rock salt. This kind of salt is not edible salt in later generations, but industrial salt. For the sake of eating rock salt.

The mining of Jiaozhou sea salt can be supplied to Nanzhong, Shuzhong, Jingnan and other places, which can not only solve the problem of salt consumption by the people, but also stimulate the development of these areas.

For this reason, Liu Bian used the system to summon Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, to go to Jiaozhou to serve as the governor of Jiaozhou, mainly responsible for the development of Haiyan, and manage the south.

The southward shift of the economic center of gravity in history was due to the invasion of the Hu people from the north, the relocation of the imperial court to the south, and the migration of the people to the south. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the economic weight of the south surpassed that of the north.

In fact, as long as the interests are in place, businessmen are willing to run away, and there are enough interests to drive, the South can also achieve development.

As for the Yangzhou area, which also has a coastline of thousands of miles, Liu Bian naturally will not give up the development of the sea.

In the third year of Yong'an, the third year after Yangzhou was pacified, Liu Bian ordered Tan Daoji and Han Shizhong to attack Shanyue.

At the same time, the development of sea salt is also put on the agenda.

In Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Yunzhou, sea salt is also mined on a large scale.

The development of sea salt is much easier than that of well salt.

The steps of well salt are cumbersome, and there are many processes. It often takes several years to mine, and some things have not been effective yet.

The mining of sea salt only needs to make salt fields, lead seawater into the fields, and harvest when the sun shines.

The large-scale exploitation of sea salt also stimulated shipping and even the nautical industry.

Because the cost of land transportation is huge, and the road needs to be maintained, and the transportation needs manpower and horsepower, and a lot of food and forage are consumed on the road.

Shipping is much simpler. The speed of shipping is much higher than that of land routes, and its consumption is also less. Although the maintenance cost of river channels is high, it does not require year-round maintenance like land routes.

As a result, shipping has gradually flourished.

And many merchants started doing business by sea.

For example, from Jiangdong Jianye to Qingzhou Donglai, it takes two months to walk by land, but it only takes half a month to sail by sea. Smart businessmen naturally choose to transport by sea.

As a result, Dahan's navigation industry gradually developed.

However, due to the nautical industry just emerging, many businessmen dare not take sea transportation.While envious, he was also complaining, how wonderful it would be if there was a big river running from north to south.

Liu Bian was in Luoyang, and the Ministry of Commerce also told Liu Bian the news.

"The excavation of the Grand Canal can finally be put on the agenda!" Seeing that the time was ripe, Liu Bian finally decided to do a big thing.

Dig a canal!
The Dahan River has always flowed from west to east, from west to east.

If there is no drinking, it runs from north to south, but if there is a canal running through the north and south, then the south will enter a period of rapid development.
