This country passed down to us by our ancestors is enough to expand outward.

And the more you do, the more you make mistakes. Fighting war will kill people, and tiring the people may backfire.

Just like Qin State pacifying Nanyue, but the Xiongnu, building the Great Wall, straight roads, and expanding vigorously, the world rebelled, and Liu Bang won the country.

When Zhang Xiu wanted to build the Grand Canal, many ministers opposed it.

However, Zhang Xiu's ability and prestige are still enough. As long as it is not shaken by the prince, let Zhang Xiu do whatever he wants.

Shaking the prince is a bottom line issue, and others can be discussed.

Although the ministers were not as excited as Zhang Xiu, they also felt that they had gained insight into this map today and looked at it with great interest.

But this matter is not yet decided.

The world needs to be pacified so that Zhang Yong can advance westward and conquer the large enough Qin State. Otherwise, Zhang Xiu would not be able to support the external expansion and civil war.

Zhang Xiu asked the ministers present to keep this matter confidential and wrote a letter to the prime minister and minister in the court to explain the issue.

Otherwise, they would be suspicious all day long, suspecting that he would shake the prince and shake the country's foundation, and not do anything well, that would not work.

In this way, Fazheng did not persist.

Zhang Xiu formally issued an edict, granting Zhang Yong the title of Qin Hou, leading 50,000 horse and infantry troops, camped in Nanpi City, resting and recuperating, recruiting soldiers, recruiting talents, and raising disciples.

Zhang Yong is the eldest son of the emperor, and outsiders do not know Zhang Xiu’s plan.

I thought Zhang Xiu was the eldest son. For some people who were of low origins and wanted to climb to a high position, Zhang Yong was an excellent choice.

For a time, many people defected to Zhang Yong.

Some of these people are villains, some are wise, and some have ulterior motives. Assisting Zhang Yong and selecting the useful people is the job of people like Wang Xiu and Dong Zhao.

At the same time, Zhang Xiu's plan to rectify Jizhou was also proceeding step by step. Zhuge Liang moved the capital to Yecheng.

The Yuan clan and those who had connections with Yuan Shao also migrated to Chang'an, Yanzhou and Liangzhou according to the plan.

Yuan Jun was incorporated and dismissed.

Zhuge Liang held nearly 100,000 people and began to dig the canal.

The Liang army's troops were arranged along the river, and on the one hand, they repaired defenses, and on the other hand, they were eyeing the Central Plains in the south.

The main reason is that Zhuge Liang is so capable. He had the experience of being a Diannong Camp in Hedong County, Hedong County, before. He did things smoothly and efficiently, which was so easy to use.

He took everything away.

The only bad thing is that Zhang Xiu heard that Zhuge Liang only slept for two hours a day when he got to work. This is not possible.

That morning.

In the temporary palace, in the study room, Zhang Xiu sat in the main seat, sighed to Fa Zhengzhi, and said, "Xiaozhi. I sent you to Yecheng to greet Zhuge Liang. Tell him to sleep at least three and a half hours a day. You can take things slowly, don't be so anxious."

"promise."

Fa Zheng bowed and agreed.

The two were almost raised by Zhang Xiu, but their focus was different. One was good at governance and the other was good at strategy.

One is the prime minister and the other is the military advisor.

Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang are also quite familiar with each other. They happened to be a little annoyed when staying in Nanpi recently. They were very happy to travel to Yecheng for public expenses.

Although Fa Zheng was sent, Zhang Xiu was still worried. Zhuge Kongming, you have to live well for me.

After shook his head, Zhang Xiu threw Kong Ming's figure out of his head. After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiu looked up at Ma Dai at the door and said, "Ma Dai. Go and find Zhang He, Gao Lan."

"promise."

Ma Dai responded and turned around.

"It's time to deal with Yan Liang." Zhang Xiu pinched his chin and looked for Zhang He. Gao Lan was not for them, but for Yan Liang.

These three people are old acquaintances, they are playing friends' cards.
