Chapter 268
Guangxin was besieged, and Wu Ju was unwilling to escape alone.There were still tens of thousands of people in the city, so Wu Ju decided to give it another go.Although Guangxin's food supply to Fengyang's [-] troops for half a year, there is still a lot of food in stock.Wu Ju is Liu Biao's man, and he is a nail for Liu Biao to break into Jiaozhou.Although there is no next step, there is still a lot of food stored in Guangxin. Even if Fengyang consumes a lot, it can still support it for three or four months.Wu Ju firmly believed that the enemy outside the city would hold on for three to four months and would definitely retreat first.
Wu Ju's thinking was very naive, because his mind was limited, and he didn't even know how powerful Zhang Yi was.
Pan Zhang put Wang Xiang and others in Xuwen County first, and then returned to Shanghai Port to collect supplies.After going back and forth for half a month, I finally returned to Xuwen County.It is easy to go from Xu Wen to Zhu Yazhou, but it is very difficult to win Zhu Yazhou.Because there is no county government here, it is not under the rule of the Han Dynasty.
But there are people on Zhuyazhou, it can be said that they are indigenous people!In fact, many of these aborigines came across the sea and were immigrants from Jiaozhou.However, these immigrants are all dynasties, there are Yue people, Qin people, and Han people, and finally mixed together to form the aborigines here.Because they rarely communicate with the outside world, they know nothing about the outside world.
After Pan Zhang returned to Xuwen, he sent ships to search for a port in the north of Zhuyazhou.In the place of Haikou in later generations, a port was found and a camp was built.
After the construction of the camp was completed, Pan Zhang entered the camp with supplies and Wang Xiang and others.
"Wang Shijun, I have finished the first work, and now you are in charge." Pan Zhang said respectfully to Wang Xiang.
Wang Xiang has stayed in Lujiang all these years because he wanted to honor his mother.The reason why he was appointed as the prefect of Zhuya County this time was also because his mother passed away a year ago.Originally, Wang Xiang wanted to keep a filial piety for his mother for three years, but he didn't even want to be an official.However, Zhang Yi deliberately allowed him to handle affairs in Xiaotang, because there were no difficult and easy political affairs in Lujiang, and many things did not need Wang Xiang to complete by himself.
In less than a year, Zhang Yi sent three love letters in succession before Wang Xiang stopped keeping his filial piety.Zhang Yi really doesn't have any good candidates. The talents in Jingzhou need to be rebuilt. They need to be familiar with his policies within half a year, and they still need to work in Yangzhou. It will take a year or two before they are sent abroad.For the appointment of officials, Zhang Yi is very cautious. For unqualified officials, Zhang Yi has also dismissed many officials.
There are actually very few officials like Wang Xiang, which makes Zhang Yi think highly of Wang Xiang.However, Wang Xiang's talent is not very outstanding, at most it is at the county level.But one thing about Wang Xiang is good, he can set an example for other officials, so Zhang Yi decided to give Wang Xiang a very meritorious appointment.Although Zhuyazhou is barren, it has indeed expanded its territory. As long as Zhuyazhou is well developed, it will be a great achievement.
Wang Xiang also knew Zhang Yi's thoughts. It was an open secret that Zhang Yi liked people with high moral character.He can be said to be very conniving towards people like Fan Zhongyan, Hua Xin, and Wang Xiang, just like allowing Wang Xiang to work in the Xiaotang, which can be seen.However, the high moral character does not depend on who they are. It depends on whether they are doing it for selfishness. This is the focus of Zhang Yi's attention.
Wang Xiang was very polite to people, "Then I will trouble General Pan."
Pan Zhang said, "So how do we start?"
Wang Xiang said: "The lord said that Zhuyazhou is an island, so please ask General Pan to send people around Zhuyazhou to find some ports, four to five places! Let's establish the county government first, and General Pan will ask the soldiers to help first. We build cities, and then accompany our officials to find local people to fill our population."
"Okay, I'll give orders."
Wang Xiang nodded, "Let's build the county government first!"
Pan Zhang immediately ordered his subordinates to help Wang Xiang build the city first.This city is called Zhu Ya, and Zhang Yi was too lazy to pick up the name, so he just said it.
The construction of Zhuya City went smoothly. Pan Zhang's materials were also used to build Zhuya, and he recruited many craftsmen to use local materials to complete a wooden camp.Anyway, there are no people, basically soldiers and craftsmen.
Pan Zhang's fleet was not idle. Apart from looking for a new port, they had to go back and forth to Shanghai to collect supplies and some people.Before the navy got a lot of people in Qingzhou, these people needed to get people from Zhuyazhou, but they were temporarily resettled in Wujun.There are a lot of supplies in Wu County, which Zhang Yi is going to use to develop Jiaozhou, so I am not afraid that these people have nothing to eat.
They only stayed in Wu County for a month or two, and Zhang Yi could afford to spend this little food.
It's just that it takes a lot of time to go from Zhuyazhou to Shanghai City, at least half a month back and forth, which makes people uncomfortable.
The construction of Zhuya County will take a long time, and it will not be completed overnight.The main reason is that the population is too small. As long as the population increases, with the talents of the Chinese people, the construction will soon be able to increase.
Naturally, there are others to complete the infrastructure construction, and Wang Xiang's job is to attract local people.Wang Xiang took a team of soldiers sent to him by Pan Zhang and began to search for local residents nearby, and finally found them, but there were some problems, that is, the language was not very good.
Wang Xiang came to a village. The people in the village saw many soldiers and immediately became alert.Wang Xiang left most of the soldiers outside the village. He took only two soldiers into the village and began to communicate with the people inside.
If you don't understand the language, you can make gestures. Wang Xiang quickly communicated with the people inside.As a result of the communication, Wang Xiang and the people in this village reached a preliminary agreement, that is, the mutual market.Wang Xiang invited them to trade in his newly built city, either by bartering or part-time jobs.
Over the course of a month, Wang Xiang visited more than ten villages.A month later, the first mutual market opened, and people from these villages really came, but very few came from each village.They didn't trust Wang Xiang, only some brave people came here, and they came here on behalf of the village to see if what Wang Xiang said was true.
When they came to the place Wang Xiang said, they were also stunned.Here a fortress made of wood appeared.This fortress looks huge from a distance. They have all been to this place, but there is really nothing there. How could such a fortress appear within a few months?
A series of commodities appeared outside the city, mainly cloth, salt, and agricultural tools, all of which were needed by these villages.
