Although the suitable growth environments for various Dongshengzhou crops are different, fortunately, the big man is big enough and has all kinds of environments. The most suitable environment and planting methods can always be tested.

It will take about three or five years for the full promotion of crops in Dongshengzhou. Before that, all Ma Qiang had to do was to end the civil war.

However, these things are not in a hurry. The most important thing now is to hold a grand banquet to welcome the return warriors.

"Captain Gan Dao, what are these envoys of the Yi King?"

At the banquet, Duan Ying asked Gan Shi, and the two had been in love for more than ten years. Gan Shi smiled and said, "Don't Mr. Duan still understand? The general doesn't just want the crop seeds of Dongshengzhou!"

Duan Ying looked at Ma Qiang who was drinking with Jiang Qin and other ocean soldiers and said, "Dongshengzhou is too far away from the Han Dynasty. Instead of attacking Dongshengzhou, it is more convenient for the general to attack the Western Regions."

"It may not be necessary. Sea seems to be more dangerous than land, but after walking around, I feel that as long as I choose the right time and route, the loss of ocean transportation may be lower than that of land."

Gan Shi didn't dare to let go of drinking these days. Today, he drank a little more and said more.

Duan Ying listened to Gan Shi's words and suddenly realized that it might not take long before the Han Dynasty would face the problem of whether to expand by land or sea.

The next day, Ma Qiang had just woken up and learned that Duan Ying was asking for a meeting. After asking, he learned that Duan Ying had not been sleeping all night last night and had been thinking about the expansion route of the great man after taking over Yizhou and Jiaozhou.

"Of course it's by land!"

Ma Qiang immediately gave Duan Ying an answer.

"The environment in Dongshengzhou is indeed good, but our Han Dynasty has too few populations, and there are still a large number of places waiting for further development. Youzhou, Liaozhou, the south, Jingyijiaoyang, and Xizhou, the west, these places have a lot of potential to be explored.

According to my estimate, it would be good if we could fully tap the potential of these places within forty years."

Forty years have been almost two generations, and from then on, it can be seen that Ma Qiang is mentally prepared for the difficulties that will be encountered in the next development of the Han Dynasty.

"Why is the general ready to give up Dongshengzhou?"

Ma Qiang immediately shook his head.

"What does the camp leader mean?"

"What do you think of Liu Bei?"

Ma Qiang suddenly asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the topic.

Duan Ying thought for a while and replied, "It's a great man. Liu Bei is a man of greatness and kindness. He knows people and treats people. If he doesn't have a leader, he may have one of his own."

Having one part, rather than being revived by the Han Dynasty, Duan Ying could see clearly the limits of Liu Bei's ability.

"Although Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and even Sun Ce, these original princes temporarily surrendered to the court under my military front, they already have great ambitions in their hearts. They can be suppressed for a while, but it will be difficult for a lifetime."

"Why should the camp leader stay there?"

"Because these people are all heroes of my great man!

My big man can give birth to so many heroes, so it would be a pity to kill them directly.

I want to wait until the world recovers and enfeoff these people."

"Tenangle?" Duan Ying was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Dongshengzhou?"

"Not only Dongshengzhou, but also a large amount of land in the west of the Western Regions can be enfeoffed.

These places are too far away from the Han Dynasty. Although there are telegrams, it is still too difficult for the court to completely control these places.

Therefore, I want to enfeoff these places that are difficult for the court to directly control, just like the Zhou emperor who was granted the princes to conquer the world."

The Han Dynasty was originally a county-level ban and state ban, so Duan Ying did not feel unacceptable to Ma Qiang's ban on Liu Bei and others.

Besides, Ma Qiang had also revealed many times to Duan Ying and others before, but it was the first time he said it so clearly.

After understanding Ma Qiang’s thoughts, Duan Ying also saw the future of the man more clearly.

Regardless of the return of the ocean-going fleet or the result of the southern expedition, Ma Qiang needed to return to Guangzong and even Jixian as soon as possible to finish it. Therefore, Ma Qiang did not stay in Qingdao for too long, but quickly set off back to the plains and then prepared to take the train back to Guangzong.

The reason why I walked around like this was naturally to let Sun Ce and others and Haiwa and other people in Dongshengzhou understand what an invincible force is.

Ma Qiang kept Yang Chi, and he will lead graduate students from the Agricultural Research Institute to study and classify various crops and animals brought by Gan Shi and others from Dongshengzhou and then distribute them to various places for experimental cultivation.

"So you, the old man with a bull's nose, really haven't stopped all the way, right?"

Before leaving, Ma Qiang convened Zheng Ping, Gan Shi and others for a meeting.

When Ma Qiang saw Haiwa, he felt that this girl was related to Gan Shi. Later, when he asked, he found that he really did not read Gan Shi correctly.

This thief Taoist didn't know how many seeds he had thrown in Dongshengzhou.

He is not picky.

"Haha, you know me, the urging of me is to explore the mysteries of the human body and find ways to ascend through art in the room."

Tsk~ This reason is really convincing.

Ma Qiang rolled his eyes, looked at Jiang Qin and others who were laughing and said, "Okay, I won't joke. When I make a contribution this time, I will issue you a formal promotion order when I return to Guangzong.

With the pacification of Yangzhou, the defense zone of our navy was also expanded. After consultation by the Military Commission, it was decided to adjust the navy organization to a total of nine fleets in the inland and offshore areas.

The offshore fleet is divided into the North Sea Fleet, the Yellow Sea Fleet, the East Sea Fleet, the South China Sea Fleet, the Ocean First Fleet and the Ocean Second Fleet.

The North Sea Fleet is led by Guan Cheng and is responsible for coastal defense matters along Liaozhou and Youzhou.

The Yellow Sea Fleet is led by Zhang Bo and is responsible for coastal defense matters along Jizhou and Qingzhou.

The East China Sea Fleet is led by Gong Yili, and is responsible for the coastal defense of Xuzhou and Yangzhou.

As for the South China Sea Fleet, it is only an empty name for the time being and will be responsible for the coastal defense of Jiaozhou in the future.

The First Ocean Fleet will continue to be under You'an, and as for the Second Fleet, Gan Ning will be under the responsibility of it.

As for the inland fleet, the Yellow River Fleet, the First Yangtze River Fleet and the Second Yangtze River Fleet, Youping, you have to go to Yangzhou to serve as the commander of the Second Yangtze River Fleet."

Neither Zhou Tai nor Jiang Qin expected to be promoted to the real commander of the fleet, so he hurriedly stood up to thank him.

"General, who will succeed General Gan's Yellow River Fleet?" Zheng Ping asked.

"It will be taken over by Lu Yan."

Gan Shi's brows were moved. Although he was not sure what had happened, he could see from this appointment that Lu Ye's political career had been announced to be over in advance.

With three offshore fleets, two ocean-going fleets and two Yangtze River fleets, the Yellow River fleet is destined to be a transportation team and will not have any military achievements at all.
