Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 128
Chapter 128 Current Situation of Bingzhou City
The food was served. Seeing that his brother was also here, Zhang Miao said what he had been prepared to say. “Uncle Cai, when do you think is the most appropriate time to handle the matter of Chaodi and Lingyuan?”
Zhang Miao’s so-called handling of the matter naturally meant that the matchmaker was officially married, and it was also an expression of respect and solemnity.
If Cai Yong had known that he was going to talk about this matter today, it was because people couldn’t be together in the past. This matter was entrusted to him. Even now, he was in Jin Yang City. That matter was about to be put on the agenda. After listening to Zhang Miao’s words, he smiled and looked at Zhang Chao who was standing beside him.
Zhang Chao was also prepared. Seeing that Big Brother and Yue Zhang were looking at him, he smiled and said, “There’s no hurry. You all know that there’s still a lot to do when we first came to Bingzhou City. Yan’er and I can push things back. I think it will be spring next year.”
Zhang Chao gave a rough time, which was equivalent to making a promise.
This push lasted for more than half a year, which was obviously a bit too long. However, Cai Yong and Zhang Miao also tacitly agreed after considering the actual situation. Zhang Chao was now the emperor’s personal general, so naturally, the marriage could not be too hasty, so it was good to have more time to prepare.
Cai Yong and Zhang Miao agreed, which made Zhang Chao very grateful. He raised his glass and thanked him. The atmosphere reached a climax, and the three of them chatted happily.
At the banquet, zhang chao also put forward the establishment of the academy, to ask sorted out of the mountains as a teacher, zhang miao in a bystander is raised both hands to approve, and also said that he is willing to contribute to the establishment of the academy. Now that Bingzhou City was his brother in charge, he had always wanted to do something for his younger brother. Because of his health, he did not touch his gun and mounted his horse for a long time before he thought of changing his martial path to Wen Shi.
Cai Yong was very happy that he could do something for his son-in-law, especially the establishment of the Academy for the benefit of scholars, so he agreed without refusing.
During the banquet, the most rare thing was that neither Cai Yong nor Miao asked what he wanted to do in the future.
Zhang Chao’s current strength and ability were placed there, coupled with the Han Dynasty’s existence in name, in such an environment, if Zhang Chao wanted to be a loyal minister, no one would believe it. As for Cai Yong and Miao, it was not too much to ask Zhang Chao. However, it was worth mentioning that the two of them didn’t have the slightest intention of inquiring. Could it be that they couldn’t tell?
Of course not, but he just didn’t want to embarrass Zhang Chao.
Zhang Chao was very clear in his heart. He was also grateful to them in his heart, or in his opinion, he could only prove everything with practical actions in the future. He must protect his relatives so that they would not suffer any grievances and encounter any dangers in their lifetime.
The banquet went on very late, until Cai Yong and Miao were drunk, the two of them were obviously happy for Zhang Chao’s current achievements and drunk.
Zhang chao called xu chu and others, will be sent to bed before rest, he also bid farewell to mother-in-law Liu, future wife CAI Yan, back to his own courtyard.
When they arrived at the courtyard, Bai Tong was already waiting in the courtyard. This woman was always like this. She was only thinking about Zhang Chao. When she saw Zhang Chao appear, she sent a white cloak over.
“Haha, it’s not cold now. I don’t need it.” Zhang Chao smiled as he took the cape.
‘”Yes, your health is the most important thing right now. There must be no carelessness. Look, after drinking so much wine, you must be tired after a busy day. Let Tong’er serve you to rest.” Bai Tong said stubbornly.
Zhang Chao was accustomed to Bai Tong’s care. Knowing that he had said so, he would definitely not leave without watching him sleep. Thus, he could only agree. Then, the two of them smiled and entered the bedroom together. Half an hour later, Bai Tong left alone. When Xu Chu, who was in charge of the vigil, saw her, he couldn’t help but give her an eye-catching salute. Obviously, he had a deep respect for the two matriarchs.
Zhang Chao finally came to Jin Yang City, began to perform the power of a prefecture, the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, or the history of China from this moment onwards also want to turn a new page.
Along with Zhang Chao arriving at Jinyang City, the entire city began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
First, there were more people on the streets.
These people were the people who had come with Zhang Chao from Chen Liu or some refugees they had encountered along the way. Suddenly, there were a hundred thousand people in a city, so it was naturally bustling with activity.
There were a lot of civilians, but there was no trace of chaos in the public security. The cavalry that passed by the streets all the time had reduced the crime rate to the lowest in the city. Even if it was described as not closing doors at night, it was not an exaggeration to say that they didn’t leave anything behind.
Such a good law and order environment also made the former residents feel at ease. Originally, they were worried that with so many soldiers and so many civilians, their interests would be threatened, but now, it seemed that they did not exist.
The newly arrived civilians were all sent to the government for land distribution in a very short period of time. If they had something to do, they would naturally not consider other issues.
As the new Bingzhou City Mu, Zhang Chao had been busy these days. He had just taken over the position of a prefecture, and the things he had to do could be said to be countless, causing his brain to continuously circulate at a high speed. On the fifth day, Ding Qi left Jin Yang City with some family generals and headed towards Chen Liu. He also held the first meeting with a relatively large number of people in his own mansion.
In the large conference hall of the Prefecture Lord’s Mansion, Zhang Chao was the leader. Around is country, giffin, lu su. On the right was Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Taishi Ci.
This was the first high-level meeting that Zhang Chao had held since he arrived in Jinyang City. Everyone attached great importance to this meeting because they knew that their future division of work would be decided at this meeting. In the future, the development of Bingzhou City would also change as a result of this meeting.
It is no exaggeration to say that this will be a historic meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, the people present reported on some of the things they were doing. Including the progress of the infrastructure of Jinyang City, the division of the fertile land of the people, the relationship with the various forces and the basic situation of the army.
Zhang Chao sat on the first seat and listened attentively. No matter who spoke, he would not take his eyes off the other party to show the most basic respect.
From the report, Zhang Chao also understood the basic situation of Jin Yang City’s internal affairs and the situation of the army.
Right now, the forces under Zhang Chao’s command numbered 27,500, not even 30,000.
Among them, Hu Guan had three thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry; Lyu bu has a vanguard cavalry five thousand people; Jin Yang City had 8,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, with the exception of the most elite Zhangjiajun, who had 1,500 heavy cavalry and 2,000 light cavalry.
There were 130,000 civilians and 30,000 prisoners of war from the Montenegrin army. Only Jin Yang City and parts of Shangdang Prefecture were under his jurisdiction.
Judging from the total figures, whether it was the army or local rule, Zhang Chao could not be regarded as an official Bing Zhou Mu.
At present, the entire Bing Zhou area has six prefectures, namely Taiyuan, Shangdang, Leping, Xihe, Yanmen, Xinxing. It has jurisdiction over about 44 counties.
According to conservative estimates, a county with a population of 10,000 would have more than 400,000 people. Of course, due to the chaos of war and Heishan Army, many counties had died in name only. They already had ten rooms and seven empty rooms. However, even if they were given a discount, there would still be more than a hundred thousand people. But besides the refugees from outside, there were only 30,000 people in Jincheng City under Zhang Chao’s jurisdiction. It had to be said that he was more like a prefecture guard than a prefecture herd.
Before the future of Bingzhou City, Zhang Chao had considered all sorts of problems he had to face, and even thought of the worst case scenario. However, when the truth was in front of him, he was still surprised. I didn’t expect that things would be so bad.
“This won’t do. We need to expand the army and increase the civilian population.” After listening to the report, Zhang Chao shook his head continuously. He was very dissatisfied with the current situation.
Heart know zhang chao mood bad country hurriedly consoled, “master don’t worry, now many people also don’t know master’s name and benevolence, believe that as long as they give a certain amount of time, will be enough to attract more people. And master will each county guard and county government sent beauty are accepted, are distributed to the general, this is already expressed enough goodwill, this is a good start.
A few days ago, under the orders of zhang chao, led by country civil minister generals are each to the side hall of the prefecture MuFu brought the young woman home, and even many people also have the status of a formal wife. This action had indeed calmed down the hearts of many Bing Zhou forces. Adding on the fact that Zhang Chao had arranged a safe enough escape route for Ding Qi, these actions had already dispelled the wariness of some people. This would be very important for Zhang Chao to rule them in the future.
“Not enough. Some people can’t just give benefits, they have to be deterred.” Zhang Chao shook his head and accepted these women. He was just expressing an attitude. If this could bring everyone together, then he would definitely not believe it. One hand of candy, but also a big stick, so that the two-pronged play the best role. “Feng Xiao, is there anyone else who is facing me?”
“This” Country did not immediately answer, but fell into deep thought, apparently he still has some misgivings in his heart.
When Zhang Chao saw that Guo Jia did not immediately reply, he urged, “Feng Xiao, you don’t have to worry too much. I know that. To those who obey me, we naturally treat each other with courtesy. But to those who have dissent, we must eradicate them. There is no hesitation, this is the principle.”
