Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 260 Take 2 Joe Xi Digging the Canal

Chapter 260

After accepting the Gan family, Zhang Yi rested at home for more than a month. With beauties and children, Zhang Yi naturally couldn't think of leaving.Most of the affairs of Zhengdong General's Mansion do not need Zhang Yi to complete, only a few of them can be sent to Zhang Yi's Mansion.

Now Zhang Yi has entered a relatively peaceful morale. Most of the wars in Jingzhou have been fought, only Wuling has fought against Wuling Man, and Lin Fengxiang has fought against Cangwu County.However, Zhang Yi has not used troops against Jiaozhou for the time being, mainly because the roads are not smooth and the food and grass are too far away.As long as the grain and grass are delivered, Lin Fengxiang will directly attack Cangwu County.

But Zhang Yi didn't just want to win Cangwu County, he wanted to win the entire Jiaozhou.Jiaozhou has seven counties: Nanhai County, Cangwu County, Hepu County, Yulin County, Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen County, and Rinan County.Among the seven counties, only Cangwu County and Yulin County do not rely on the sea, and the other five counties are all near the sea.Zhang Yi intends to send the navy to attack Jiaozhou, but now the navy is still doing business with the Yuan brothers in Qingzhou and Youzhou in the north!

Although the Yuan family basically had nothing that could not cause too much trouble for Cao Cao, Zhang Yi was still ready to reap the last bit of benefits.As long as he can reap the benefits in the north, it will add trouble to Cao Cao, of course he will do it.And Jiaozhou is already in his pocket, so it doesn't matter if it is later.

After Zhang Yi stayed at home for a few days, he met a woman he had wanted to see for a long time, and that was Xiao Qiao who was picked up by Lu Su.

Zhang Yi has never met Xiao Qiao, but Xiao Qiao often visits Zhang Yi's house to see her sister, but the two have never met.Lu Su went to Jingzhou with his family, and Xiao Qiao stayed behind.Xiao Qiao only lives near Lu Su's house, but she knows that Zhang Yi covets her, so she has been avoiding Zhang Yi.

Da Qiao also knew this, and would send Da Qiao away before Zhang Yi came back, and would not allow the two to meet.

When facing a man, even two sisters would not accept each other.There are too many examples of this in history. The two sisters Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede were jealous, and the Empress of the Great Zhou died without seeing her because of Li Yu secretly accepting the Empress of Xiao Zhou.Da Qiao has formed feelings for Zhang Yi, and the two have a son and a daughter. She can compete with other women for favor, but she doesn't want to compete with her sister.

But Zhang Yi never forgot about Xiao Qiao, and upon seeing Xiao Qiao, he invited her to live at home.Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu had no children, and Zhou Xun, whom she raised, was the son of Zhou Yu and his wife.The history of Zhou Yu's wife cannot be tested, and when Zhang Yi attacked Dantu, Zhou Yu's wife died of illness due to excessive sorrow.How could Zhang Yi not admire Zhou Xun, who was raised by Xiao Qiao, with such a character?

Xiao Qiao was met by Zhang Yi, so she could only bow to Zhang Yi obediently, no matter what, this is her brother-in-law!

Zhang Yi didn't express anything. When Xiao Qiao was leaving, Zhang Yi stood up and said to send Xiao Qiao off.When Zhang Yi sent Xiao Qiao to the car, Zhang Yi asked Xiao Qiao: "Now that the Zhou family has fallen, what should Zhou Xun do when he grows up?"

Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, she thought for a while, then turned to look at Zhang Yi: "It depends on my brother-in-law."

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "I can't help him much. He is not my son. Without a strong backer, even if he has my help, he will not achieve much."

Xiao Qiao sighed softly, "I'll go back and think about it!"

Zhang Yi nodded, "I'll send someone to send you back!"

After getting in the car, Xiao Qiao's mind began to spin.She understood what Zhang Yi meant. Zhou Xun was Zhou Yu's son, and Zhou Yu was Zhang Yi's enemy. It was impossible for Zhang Yi to help the enemy's son for no reason.He still has thoughts about himself, as long as he marries, Zhou Xun will be half Zhang Yi's son, and it will be logical for Zhang Yi to help Zhou Xun.And if Xiao Qiao doesn't agree, maybe Zhang Yi will suppress Zhou Xun's development!

It's a bit despicable to threaten Xiao Qiao with a child!But Zhang Yi didn't have so much time to have a romantic relationship with Xiao Qiao, so he had to make a quick decision.

Xiao Qiao went back and thought for many days, and finally succumbed to Zhang Yi's coercion and agreed to marry Zhang Yi.

After accepting Xiao Qiao, Zhang Yi can really take over Er Qiao, and now he is only short of Tongque Terrace.

Zhang Yi won't build the Tongque Terrace, because it doesn't make any sense, but he wants to build a bigger project.This project is beneficial to the country and the people, but in history it was a waste of money. This is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal!

Of course, it is unrealistic to want to build the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. From the north of the Huai River, Zhang Yi does not have much land. He can't even build Yanzhou, let alone Youzhou?

But this project must be done, because there is no water area between the river and the Huai River, and as long as the ship enters the Huai River from the river, it can only go to sea.This is a lot of work, and it is not conducive to defending Huaishui.When Xia Houyuan attacked Shouchun before, Zhang Yi wanted to build the Grand Canal, but Zhang Yi was not strong enough at that time, so he had to put it aside temporarily.

Now Zhang Yi felt that it was almost done, so he decided to dig a canal along the Feishui River to connect the rivers and Huaihe Rivers.Feishui is a very magical river. It is divided into two parts, one part goes northward and flows into Huai River along Chengde and Shouchun, and the other part flows into Chaohu Lake along Hefei.And these two Feishuis have the same source, but they are not connected.As long as a canal is dug between the two Fei Rivers, the Jianghuai can be connected.

But there is one thing, it is not easy to dig a canal between the two Fei Rivers, because the nearest place to them is Jiangjunling, their source, and it is impossible to dig a canal on the mountain.

Finally, Zhang Yi thought of a plan, which was to dig a canal between Chaohu Lake and Shaopi.Shaopi is a lake, just southwest of Shouchun, and it is a lake about the size of Chaohu Lake.Even if there is a detour, the distance between the two lakes is only more than 100 miles. It is easy to dig a canal, and the amount of work is not very large.

Zhang Yi mobilized tens of 10 people, and began digging in March.After half a year, a canal with a width of more than 30 feet was dug out.

Zhang Yi did not waste money and people. Zhang Yi invested more than 3 soldiers in digging the canal. The remaining people did not delay the busy work of farming, and gave them tax-free remuneration for three years.Zhang Yi's tax collection does not rely on farmers. He has gradually established a commercial system and collected much more commercial taxes than agricultural taxes.

Moreover, Zhang Yi himself has a large number of industries, all of which are huge profits, and there are also salt and iron industries that are exclusively owned by the state. The profession is enough to support Zhang Yi to build a large army.The research and development department in Shouchun alone can help Zhang Yi assemble [-] troops every year, including food, arming, supplies, pensions and so on.
