Sun Ce announced the appointment. Those who had heard of Chen Deng's inauguration strategy had no objection, but those who had never heard of it were in an uproar. As Guo Jia said, Chen Dao was good at everything, but he was too young and had too little qualifications. Suddenly he was promoted to the prefect of Danyang, and it was difficult to convince the public. Some generals of the Kaiwei Camp had objections. Compared to Chen Dao, they had much more experience. Although no one dared to say it in front of Sun Ce, there were many people talking behind their backs.

Sun Ce had prepared a long time ago. He held a meeting to attend the Weiwei camp, Yiqiong and Qujunhou and above. Zulang and Wei Teng also came. When they heard Chen Dao explaining his strategy. After yesterday's drill, Chen Dao had the confidence and went back to think carefully for the middle of the night. This time he said better and took care of all aspects. Not only did he say it, he also prepared a manuscript with some maps, pictures and texts, and was organized.

After hearing this, everyone still had some opinions, but they had to admit that Chen Dao was a suitable candidate. They secretly regretted that he only focused on training and did not pay attention to government affairs and missed a great opportunity.

Zulang was very excited after hearing this and raised his hand to speak. "Do you really want to build water conservancy in Danyang and raise troops in the country?"

Sun Ce nodded. "It was my established plan to go to Jiangnan to farm. It was just that the war was tense, and the people in the Central Plains were fond of the country and refused to leave easily, which was delayed."

"What kind of Jiangbei people do you want? We can do it." Zulang jumped up, and his saliva splashed on the people next to him. "We are from Danyang, and we are the most familiar with the conditions here. It's not a problem to ride boats and play in the water, but no one is willing to take us together. Even if we plant some land, the benefits will be taken away by the government and we can't support ourselves. If we can farm, who is willing to be a thief? Although the mountains are safe, they are very hard."

Everyone laughed, and Zulang also found that he had missed his mouth and touched his head embarrassedly.

Sun Ce thinks this plan is good.

Zulang collected more than 10,000 soldiers in total. He only wanted to pick two thousand with him, and all the rest were planned to be repatriated. Since Zulang was willing to farm, he couldn't get it. The reason why Danyang's economy was not good is that it was not that the geographical conditions were poor, but that it was insufficient development. At present, the only ones that were truly developed were some plains by the river, and the places that went deeper were occupied by Yue people.

In the eyes of the Han people, the Yue people were all barbarians. They did not accept education, and either killed them or arrested them as soldiers. The Yue people naturally did not want to accept such treatment. If they could not defeat them, they would run to the mountainous areas in the south. There was no population in the north and they could not do anything. Later, the Central Plains was in chaos, and many people crossed the river, and the population increased. The Wu Kingdom wanted to develop it, but Danyang was a war zone, with chaos, and there was no leisure to develop. Everything was put first in military affairs, and it was delayed.

The situation is different now. Yuzhou is controlled by Sun Ce, and the front line is maintained north of the Huai River. It will basically not affect Danyang and have the conditions for military farming. It will take a few years to engage in water conservancy and prepare for flood prevention. There is no problem with self-sufficiency.

"Okay, why don't you be the military camp."

"I can't do it. I'm not interested in farming. I still want to fight with the general." Zulang shook his hand repeatedly. "But I can recommend someone. I have a village party named Xian Yucheng, who is also a scholar. He likes to do farming the most, and he also says that this is a great knowledge of economics and economics for the country... and what is the agricultural science. If he was asked to farm, he would definitely do better than me."

Sun Ce smiled. "Okay, please invite him. If it is appropriate, let him work in the Danyang Prefect's Mansion and assist Shuzhi."

Zulang was both surprised and happy. He was a surrendered general. He had just surrendered for two days, and recommended someone to Sun Ce just to give it a try. Sun Ce actually agreed immediately, which made him very proud and happily agreed.

Wei Teng looked around and couldn't help but feel a little contempt. What's this? A group of children played house. Chen Dao was only in his early twenties and had no knowledge or reputation. Just because he was Sun Ce's confidant, he became the prefect of 2,000 stones at once, which was a higher starting point than the children of aristocratic families. Can he do it? It's even more exaggerated here. A bandit who just surrendered can recommend someone to be an official, which is simply nonsense.

Sun Ce kept paying attention to Wei Teng. Seeing Wei Teng look contemptuous, he smiled in his heart. He is a famous scholar and is middle-aged, so how could he take these young warriors into his eyes? In his heart, the only person who is most qualified to be the prefect of Danyang is probably the only one who is the one who is the most qualified to be the prefect of Danyang. However, he was just captured, and he was embarrassed and had no face to make a request, so he had to make such a sour look.

In fact, even if Wei Teng mentioned it, he would not let Wei Teng be the prefect of Danyang. Wei Teng is famous, but he has no practical government skills and knows nothing about military affairs. Let’s take a step back, even if Wei Teng is capable and is as good as his father Wei Lang, he would not give Danyang to him. Wei Teng is a party member and has the same heart as Yuan Shao. Danyang’s position is too important, how can he be handed over to him? He would rather let Chen Dao make mistakes than let Wei Teng control it, and don’t lead the wolf into the house at that time.

He can use Wei Teng, but he will not let him escape from his own control and win one. Now, let's be greedy for him first.

In Yecheng, Guo Tu hurried into the back hall.

Yuan Shao was playing with his youngest son Yuan Shang. Among his sons, Yuan Shang is undoubtedly the most beautiful one. Yuan Shao felt that he looked like him the most and loved him the most. However, recently, because of Yuan Tan’s affairs, many people advised him openly and secretly, reminding him that the harm of abolishing the eldest son and establishing the young son was not too obvious, so as not to arouse suspicion from the ministers. The current situation is serious, and no external troubles can be caused, causing internal ruptures.

Mrs. Liu didn't understand this very well, so she treated him with her and ignored him for more than half a month. He was also happy to be quiet for a while and went to rest in other concubines' rooms. Recently, good news came again that two concubines were pregnant one after another. This made him very satisfied, and it was enough to prove that although he was over 100 years old, he was still energetic. However, this made Mrs. Liu even more angry and still hid in the house and couldn't come out.

Hearing the footsteps, Yuan Shao knew it was Guo Tu, and only Guo Tu would come to the back hall. Guo Tu was his confidant, and he was good at being a human being, and could help him coordinate internal affairs. Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others did not have this ability.

"Pongze, why are you here?" Yuan Shao deliberately raised his voice and looked at the inner room.

Guo Tu understood and said loudly: "There is an urgent matter that you want to ask the lord to decide."

"What's up?"

"Yangzhou Governor Chen Wen died of illness, Lujiang Prefect Chen Deng, and Danyang Prefect Zhou Xin was killed. Jiangnan was in a state of collapse. Please send cadres to Jiangnan urgently to take office, so as not to be taken advantage of by Sun Ce."

Yuan Shao frowned, his face immediately became dark, and he looked at Guo Tu in dissatisfaction. However, Guo Tu glanced at the inner room quietly. Yuan Shao looked out of the corner of his eyes and saw the corner of his skirt behind the door, and immediately understood what Guo Tu meant. Including Jiujiang Prefect Zhou Ang, Yangzhou suddenly lost a governor, three prefects, and four more vacant ones, which could give Mrs. Liu a chance to alleviate the conflict between them and their husbands. This is of course a good thing, but the problem is that the loss is too great. Lujiang, Jiujiang, Danyang, and Kuaiji, the six counties of Yangzhou have lost four counties, and the remaining two counties are also in danger. Yangzhou will soon be occupied by the Sun family's father and son, so he can't be happy.

"How could this happen?" Yuan Shao was furious. "The Zhou brothers were so incompetent. They lost two counties in the past six months, and even important places like Danyang were lost?"
