Sheng arranged a plan and sent someone to invite Lu Kang to the banquet. When he learned that Shen You were there, Lu Kang did not refuse and agreed with gale, not only did he come, but he also brought Gao Dai together. Gao Dai and Sheng Xian were close friends, and Chen Zhi and Sheng could be regarded as his juniors. Not to mention Lu Kang, he was the leader of the current scholars in Wu County. Even Gao Dai had to give in and let down his points, and Chen Zhi did not dare to be arrogant.

Lu Kang came to the banquet, so of course he didn't want to have a meal. He took the opportunity to exchange views with Shen You.

Shen You explained Sun Ce’s arrangements. The situation of the land occupied by the Wujun family was not serious, but Sun Ce did not investigate the matter just for revenge. His considerations were more far-reaching. In the war in the Central Plains, Jiangdong was stable, and refugees would soon pour into Wujun and Kuaiji, and the demand for food would grow rapidly. At this time, if someone wanted to hoard goods and raise prices, Sun Ce would definitely take action without hesitation.

Lu Kang and Gao Dai agreed. They are both scholars, so of course they would not want such a thing to happen, but they also know that not everyone can think like them, and there are many people who want to take the opportunity to make a fortune. The situation that Sun Ce is worried about may not only happen, but will definitely happen.

"But even if we hand over the land, it may not be enough. In the chaos in the Central Plains, only Wu will have grain, but I am afraid that refugees will flock to you. Xuzhou and Yuzhou are all big states with millions of people. There is no need to be too many. One million people can overwhelm the Wu Society."

"Population is a burden in a short period of time, but a treasure in the long run."

Shen You had already prepared, and explained Sun Ce's plan and added his own understanding. Wuhui - especially Wujun - did not have land, but insufficient water conservancy facilities. In the past, because of the small population, he could open two pieces of land and sow some seeds to feed and live, but he could not fish, so he could live. So there was no pressure. Now that the population is too large, he began to pay attention to meticulous cultivation and dredging water conservancy. People like them who migrated from the Central Plains do this, so they quickly accumulated a lot of wealth.

But how much land has been cultivated in Wujun? In the thirteen counties of Wujun, except for Wuxian, all the other households are less than 10,000. Large areas of land, either swamps or grass fields have great room for development. If they can use the original population of the Central Plains to cultivate, even a million people can afford it. Sun Ce attaches great importance to agriculture, so he specially found a man named Xian Yucheng to farm in Danyang. If it succeeds, his experience can be extended to Wujun in the future.

This is an opportunity. In Sun Ce's words, it may only take ten years to achieve leapfrog development and double the population.

Lu Kang and Gao Dai were skeptical, but they just doubted the effect they could achieve and did not doubt Sun Ce's sincerity. They also heard about Sun Ce's arrangement for the farming in Danyang. They also heard that they even offered a reward of 2,000 stones to the man named Xian Yucheng, which caused an uproar in Wujun.

But thinking about Sun Ce's concessions and his friends could provide 100 gold for research on the history of water wars, which is nothing. The history of water wars is just a book, and it doesn't have much reference significance when written. Instead, Bu Zhi got its name, but farming is a major event that can support countless people. The grain produced is more than 2,000 stones a year.

While drinking, they discussed Sun Ce's deeds. Some things they thought were very good, such as revitalizing county schools, building water conservancy, and preparing for the future, preparing food for refugees who may appear at any time; some things they thought were absurd, such as giving in to the history of water war, such as asking Ma Chao to write a history of cavalry war. Ma Chao, a martial artist, could he write a history of cavalry war. While drinking, Lu Kang also teased Shen You a few words, saying that Shen You likes military tactics and may write a military book in the future, and compile all the history of water war, cavalry war, etc.

Shen You didn't mind at all, and was joking with them, but he felt a little proud. These people didn't know Sun Ce's good intentions at all, and they were still at the level of Confucianism governing the country. How could a small matter be related to life and death? Sun Ce not only used his military discipline, but also carefully trained his generals to build a martial arts lecture hall to train Du Bo and Junhou, so that lower-level generals like the Marquis of the Army can win more and more with fewer defeats. It was not his ability to command 5,000 people, but that these 5,000 people were well-trained and could defeat Xu Gong any time he was commanded by someone else.

You can study with peace of mind and give me the opportunity to make achievements. In another twenty years, it will be clear whether you can still laugh so happily.

Sun Ce left Wujun and headed south by boat. Before he arrived in Wucheng, he received the news sent by Guo Tung.

After Guo Jun and Xiang Lang arrived at Guzhen, they immediately inspected the county and repaired the city. They came in time. The city had just been halfway through. At the invitation of Taishi Ci, the Wu Chengzong, who went to Tiger Mountain to assist, led his troops into the country. They did not expect that Guzhen had replaced people, added troops, and entered the country in a swagger. As a result, Guo Jun was attacked head-on by beheading more than 300 levels. The remaining people scattered like birds and beasts and retreated back to Shicheng Mountain.

Shicheng Mountain is located in the west of Wucheng County. Guo Ting reminded Sun Ce to be careful that these bandits cannot fight head-on, but they are good at sneak attacks, and they can do both water and land, so don’t be attacked by Yan Baihu.

Sun Ce was prepared. Before he left, Shen You reminded him. Shen Rong, the ancestor of the Shen family, had just moved here and settled on the banks of Yubuxi in Wucheng. Many clans of the Shen family lived in Wucheng. Shen You didn't say it clearly, but Sun Ce heard what Shen You meant. The reason why Yan Baihu was able to dominate the Shicheng Gate was due to the tacit consent and indulgence of the Shen family, and even had funding.

Yan Baihu's real name is Yan Hu. He first fell into Baihu Mountain and took Baihu as his name. Later, his power expanded and he entered the Shicheng Mountain area and set up a line with the Shen family. Of course, the mountains are safe, but the mountains are also hard. Shicheng Mountain is close to Yuhang and Wucheng. Usually, bandits live in Shicheng Mountain, and they hide in Baihu Mountain when the situation is urgent. Further south of Baihu Mountain is Mogan Mountain, Tianmu Mountain, and Longwang Mountain, which runs thousands of miles. Once you hide in, it is difficult to find it.

Therefore, Yan Baihu is different from Chen Baihu, Shi Jian and others from Tongguanshan. They can be defeated, but it is difficult to eradicate them.

Sun Ce decided to be courteous and then the army to avoid conflicts with Yan Baihu as much as possible, so as not to delay the war for too long. After entering Wucheng, Wucheng Prime Minister Li Huai came to pay a visit. Sun Jian was the Marquis of Wucheng. In theory, Wucheng Prime Minister was the head of the Sun family, but the appointment power was in the hands of the court. The Sun family could not do any government affairs, and even the fief was allocated by Wucheng County, and the Sun family could not handle it directly.

The situation is different now. Not to mention Wu Cheng, even Sun Ce has the final say in the entire Wu County, and Wu Chengxiang dares not neglect it.

Li Huai, whose courtesy name is Renping, was in his early thirties, was of medium figure and agile. He did not look like a scholar, but like a brave warrior. He was surrounded by a young man, and he was also strong in shape and walked with the wind. After Li Huai finished his visit, before Sun Ce could speak, Li Huai took the initiative to say: "General, I am from Qu'a, and I am in the same place as Hongboxia."

"Then you should know Guo Wu too, right?"

"Meet." Li Huai was surprised. "Is Guo Wu also by the general? Didn't he go to Chang'an?"

Sun Ce asked someone to call Guo Wu. Guo Wu laughed as soon as he saw Li Huai. "So you are Wu Chengxiang, you are really destined to be. Hey, who is this? It looks so cool. Are you a master? Do you want to compete?"

The young man bowed and bowed. "Yuhang Lingcao, I have met Guo Jun."
