A night of silence.

The next day, when Liu Chen was working refreshed and refreshed, his advisers and generals came over one by one with smiles to express their congratulations.

"Congratulations, lord! Congratulations, lord!"

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and blinked his eyes, seeming to say you understand, and said jokingly:

"I wish my lord a happy son soon. My lord must have flourished on his wedding night last night!"

"Fengxiao, if you have an eye problem, go to Hua Tuo for treatment. Don't cause trouble in front of me!

Liu Chen laughed and scolded:"Pull it down, pull it down!""

Everyone laughed, and the guards did not really pull Guo Jia down. After chatting and joking among the ministers for a while, they finally returned to the topic.

"During this period of continuous expeditions, Jizhou's logistics have become somewhat stretched. The king is preparing to take a truce for a year and a half to develop the six states under his command."

Liu Chen clearly planned the development goals for this year and a half:

"The first thing to be completed is the construction of ports in the Yellow River Basin. Transmission throughout the north will need to use these ports in the future.

"The naval forces originally in the Bohai Bay can be gradually moved to Qingzhou. Huang Zhong, Guo Jia, you and others still need to defend Yanzhou and Xuzhou!"

"The subordinate/general will understand! Huang

Zhong and Guo Jia cupped their hands and said.

"Xun Yu, Jizhou has made the main roads in all counties accessible by cement roads. In this year and a half, I need you to spread your influence to the other six states!"

Liu Chen said solemnly, whether it is sea transportation at the ports in the Yellow River Basin or land transportation on these cement roads, it will change the transportation problem. In addition to improving military mobility, it can also greatly change information transmission, food transportation, economic development, and commerce. People-to-people exchanges, etc.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads!

Xun Yu frowned and thought for a moment, doing calculations quickly in his mind. In the end, even he, a talented king, could only sigh and said:

"My lord, I only have more than a year, which is too little!

"My subordinates have studied cement roads. Whether it is the cooling of the cement, road planning, drainage settings, etc., it all takes time.

"Not to mention that problems such as wind and rain, road excavation, etc. will delay the construction period.

Xun Yu shook his head and said:"If it is only within one state, my subordinates can still work hard to take action." But the six states cover a wide area, and my subordinates cannot guarantee it!"

Liu Chen naturally couldn't tell Xun Yu: Go ahead and do it boldly. I have the [Krypton Gold Acceleration Function] and can help you secretly!

Liu Chen had to think of an excuse to persuade Xun Yu, and soon he had a flash of inspiration. , said lightly:

"Didn’t Yuan Shao’s coalition army have 300,000 defeated generals surrendered? They can be included in the road construction project and carried out at the same time

"Then let the scout pigeons conduct surveillance in the air to avoid sneaky tricks and detect road accidents. This can significantly reduce engineering time

"Tell them that this is also one of the ways to accumulate military merit! You can make meritorious deeds! Increase the welfare of these soldiers!"

The more Liu Chen talked, the smarter he felt.

Even if these soldiers surrender, they still need to invest in training. It is better to let them gain military merit by building roads and make meritorious service!

Xun Yu nodded repeatedly.

If there are 300,000 people to join, plus the original The Jizhou engineering team carried out and developed at the same time. It took more than a year, and it was indeed barely feasible!

"Subordinates do their best! Xun

Yu cupped his hands and said:"As for the establishment of ports in the Yellow River Basin, I will ask garrisons from various places to assist, and I need the highest authority and decree from His Highness!" Liu

Chen smiled and looked around:"Did you hear it?""

"We will assist Prefect Xun without hesitation!"

Everyone was a little helpless. Xun Yu was afraid that they would refuse. The scandal was coming from the front, and it came through Liu Chen.

Continuous income from commodity sales.

Whether it is manpower, material resources, or money, it can be considered a temporary solution!

Liu Chen continued:"After the port and cement road are solved, we still need to deal with Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Si Renovation of the houses of the subordinate people

"Winter is coming. Without fire beds and houses, many people may not be able to carry it through.

"If the people in these states and counties are too scattered, they can be forced to move together and plan a unified city.

"Schools, hospitals, and shops gather together to pool resources and avoid some waste."

Like Bingzhou and Liangzhou, after the war, the population is less than one million.

If the residents are too scattered, the transportation of materials, etc., both time and efficiency will be wasted.

It is better to gather together, build houses, and Cement roads, etc., are more convenient and easier, and reduce some losses.

The advisors and generals in Bingzhou and Liangzhou nodded repeatedly.

In order to celebrate Liu Chen's wedding, they all set off to Changshan. Now it can be said that this is the first time that Liu Chen's forces have all Gathered! People like Ma Teng and Han Sui are also among them. Liu Chen also met famous historical generals such as Ma Chao and Pang De not long ago! The people's livelihood such as road transportation, drainage facilities, people's residences, school learning, and medical treatment are all included. After everything was arranged,

Liu Chen finally talked about the logistical supply issue that everyone was most concerned about!

To be precise, it was mainly about food!

To be honest, even Liu Chen did not expect that under the harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes, With the 6 times bonus of [Farmland], there will be a food shortage in Jizhou one day!

It is because of the food problem that Liu Chen terminated his military arrangements to continue going south. Even Yanzhou, which is now empty, he can only give up temporarily.

At the beginning Yuan Shao joins forces with Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao to attack. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if Cao Cao later betrays Yuan Shao, the intelligence agency under Liu Chen has conclusive evidence of the exchange between the two.

This evidence will undoubtedly allow Liu Chen to attack Yanzhou legitimately and use Yanzhou as a springboard to go south! pity.

All of this is in logistical turmoil, so we can only give up for the time being!

The main reason is military and education!

Nowadays, the total strength of Changshan Army reaches one million, and the burden of food, grass and baggage is huge.

Every march and war involves huge military expenditures, whether it is food, grass or money, it is a huge amount!

To put it bluntly, this is simply a money-burning war!

In addition to the military aspect, Jizhou also has a big consumer - free teaching in schools and 15 years of compulsory education!

What Liu Chen envisioned at the beginning was to provide free tutoring to over 100,000 children in Changshan, and to select talents to feed back to Changshan.

Even if the entire Jizhou is captured in the future, there will only be more than 100,000 or more than 200,000 students, and they can fully afford the cost of compulsory education! only.

Who would have thought that living and working in peace and contentment in Jizhou would trigger a wave of immigration from all over the world, and countless people would drag their families with them to join Changshan.

These people became the common people of Jizhou. It was impossible for Liu Chen not to let their children read and write, right?

We are all descendants of the Han family, so it is impossible to treat one differently and favor one over the other, right?

Then.

The number of people receiving free education and 15-year compulsory education suddenly jumped from tens of thousands to millions, or even more than two million!!!

The huge consumption on both sides forced Liu Chen to make adjustments and slow down his attack.

Otherwise, if the battle continues like this, Jizhou's logistics will be overwhelmed, and then it will be like an avalanche.Crash down!

Managing a big country is like cooking a small one, and the development of military, education, people's livelihood, economy, etc. all need to be carried out steadily. to be honest.

This time Liu Chen really felt like he shot himself in the foot! compulsory education!

At the end of the Han Dynasty, when the Three Kingdoms have not yet unified the world, there is always a risk of being dragged down or even brought down!

Actually.

Liu Chen's top advisers such as Guo Jia, Xun You, Xun Yu, Ju Shou, Tian Feng, etc. have all noticed this! only.

Liu Chen's calmness, calmness, and indifference made them feel completely at ease!

In their opinion, there is no problem that Liu Chen cannot solve, and there is no arrangement that Liu Chen will make strategic mistakes!

But in reality?

Even if you pretend to be beeping, you will continue with tears in your eyes!

Liu Chen has been holding on!

Fortunately, with Jizhou's current foundation, Liu Chen can indeed hold on! not to mention.

Now Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Qingzhou, and Sili are all under Liu Chen's control! what does that mean?

This means that these six states in charge can also get bonuses from system buildings, such as [farmland] production increasing 6 times!

The land of one state is not enough to support millions of troops and more than two million students in compulsory education. What about the land of six states?!

Definitely more than enough! not to mention.

Compulsory education is not useless, nor does it just increase consumption!

In recent years, the school has trained more than 100,000 talents for Liu Chen, and more than 100,000 talents will graduate this year. These are gains that cannot be exchanged for huge amounts of money and food!!

Now that Liu Chen is hostile to aristocratic families and scholars all over the world, these more than 100,000 graduated students will become the cornerstone for him to rule the six states!!

Without these students, even if Liu Chen secures his rear and conquers the six states, he will be in a dilemma with no one available to him!

Even if top advisers such as Guo Jia, Xun You, and Xun Yu surrender, the various departments running below will need a huge number of officials and civilian personnel!!

At that time, should he be allowed to stoop down and beg those scholars in a low voice?! Are you going to ask those aristocratic families for help?!

Absolutely impossible!!! so.

In Liu Chen's opinion, compulsory education has more advantages than disadvantages for him, and he will continue it!

The most important thing is-

Liu Chen has a system and a krypton gold acceleration function.

Others would have needed more than five or ten years to rest and recuperate, but Liu Chen could spend money like crazy to speed up the process, and he would be able to stabilize his rear in just one or two years!

At that time, Liu Chen will be able to send his army south again.

The iron cavalry of the Changshan Army will overcome all obstacles!

Thinking of this, Liu Chen looked at the many advisers and generals below, then turned to Xun Yu and said:"Promote sweet potatoes and potatoes to the six states."
