Time flies, two years have passed.
It has been some time since Chen Deng was promoted from the prefect of Lelang County to the governor of Pingzhou.
Pingzhou is located in the northernmost area ruled by Liu Ke, and the ethnic groups here are the most complex.
In order to consolidate his rule, Chen Deng killed many people.
Although Yangzhou is calm and calm, Pingzhou is turbulent and cannot relax for a moment.
The name Pingzhou existed during the Gongsundu period and included Liaoxi County, Liaodong County, Xuantu County, Lelang County, Daifang County, etc.
During the Han Dynasty, "Pingzhou" was under the jurisdiction of Youzhou and was not within the scope of the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty. Later, in order to facilitate his rule, Liu Ke separated Pingzhou from Youzhou.
After the Battle of Bailang Mountain, Yangzhou captured a large number of Wuhuan women and children. It was not Liu Ke's style to kill women and children, so he placed them in Lelang County and Daifang County to expand the population of Pingzhou.
This also led to chaos in Pingzhou.
It took Jia Xu several years to stabilize Jiaozhou. Chen Deng put in more efforts, which had some effects, but did not completely calm people's hearts.
Therefore, there is no major chaos in Pingzhou, but small chaos continues.
Chen Deng went to put down rebellions from time to time. Rebellions involving dozens or hundreds of people abounded.
Liu Ke was never merciful towards those who rebelled, and his order was very simple, that is, kill!
In the killing, Chen Deng grew up rapidly and became a qualified governor.
Unlike other governors, Chen Deng had the right to mobilize large armies for battle.
Pingzhou is the place of the Four Wars, and there are many tigers and wolves around it.
Although some of Baekje, Samhan, Goryeo, Goguryeo, etc. were allies of Yangzhou, Liu Ke never really believed in them.
The same is true for Chen Deng.
"Yuanlong, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Wang Zifa saw a light in Chen Deng's study, so he came to check it out. He was Kong Rong's confidant. After Kong Rong surrendered to Liu Ke, Wang Zifa also went to Yangzhou to take up a post, and was later transferred to Pingzhou to serve as Chen Deng's deputy.
After several years of getting along, Wang Zifa and Chen Deng became close friends.
"My lord has given Pingzhou to me, and I will work hard to manage it well. Otherwise, I will be disloyal to my lord's trust."
¡°You have been getting up early and going to bed late these years, and you have been careful about your health.¡±
Chen Deng smiled slightly, not caring at all.
"Yuanlong, have you ever thought about a question?" Wang Zifa said hesitantly.
"What's the problem?" Chen Deng was confused.
¡°You have been in Pingzhou for some years, it¡¯s time to go back to Yangzhou.¡± Wang Zifa reminded.
Chen Deng was stunned for a moment, not knowing why.
"Well, now your prestige in Pingzhou is growing, and your relationship with Baekje, Samhan, and Goryeo is so good. Although my lord is not worried about another Liaodong king, aren't you worried about it yourself?" Wang Zifa explained.
"With your current achievements, you can have a good future when you return to Yangzhou."
Chen Deng was silent.
"Zifa, you are worrying too much. I am loyal to my lord, and my lord has conquered all wastes. Who dares to cause chaos in Liaodong?"
"You are right, the lord trusts you. That is the lord's business, but as a minister, you should also have the consciousness of a minister." The prince said.
"I understand, give me another year, and I will definitely create a beautiful and peaceful Pingzhou for my lord." Chen Deng said sonorously and forcefully.
"Okay, if you don't mind, I will do my best to help you." Wang Zifa said.
"Then please." Chen Deng said with cupped hands.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"By the way, Zifa, has anything big happened in the Northland recently? Why are there less and less goods coming and going?" Chen Deng said.
Pingzhou's trade is very prosperous, which is also an important way for Chen Deng to stabilize people's hearts.
There was an endless stream of merchants, bringing various specialties from Yangzhou and even Jiaozhou, and buying animal skins, ginseng, etc. that were only available in the north from Pingzhou.
Now that trade has decreased, Chen Deng is keenly aware of this.
"I haven't heard of it. Tomorrow I will convene businessmen from all over the country to understand some of the situation." Wang Zifa said.
"You must not neglect this matter." Chen Deng warned.
Wang Zifa nodded and clasped his fists in response.
The next day, Wang Zifa rushed to the trading point in person and asked the merchants who had returned from the North.
"Sir, don't you know? Some tribes in the North have relocated." A shopkeeper named Chen said with some surprise.
¡°What happened?? "Wang Zifa asked.
"I don't know either." Shopkeeper Chen shook his head.
Due to trade reasons, the tribes in the north have been moving southward. If Chen Deng hadn't stopped them, they would have entered Pingzhou to survive.
But the news that Wang Zifa received was that more and more tribes were migrating south, which was not at all what the merchants said.
Wang Zifa raised his doubts.
"Oh, it's like this. Now there are two forces in the north, one is Goguryeo and the other is Xianbei people. And those who trade with us are the remaining Wuhuan tribe and some small and medium-sized Xianbei tribes. They suddenly disappeared. , naturally there will be no trade. If you want to do business, you can only go to countries such as Goryeo, Baekje, and Samhan."
Hearing this answer, Wang Zifa fell into deep thought. Why did he seem to be standing in line?
¡°One side is desperately heading south, the other is desperately heading north, and the middle has become a no-man¡¯s land.
Wang Zifa sensed something unusual and quickly reported to Chen Deng.
"Get ready, let's go to the tribe outside Xuantu County to find out."
Chen Deng made a prompt decision.
"Yuanlong, you are busy with official duties, why don't you just let me go." Wang Zifa said.
"Things are unclear, and I'm not in the mood to handle official business." Chen Deng said helplessly.
Trade is the lifeblood of Pingzhou, and there can be no problems.
If Chen Deng wants to govern Pingzhou well, he must bring a better life to the people of Pingzhou.
It is not enough to open up wasteland for farming, only trade can support it.
So Chen Deng and Wang Zifa took their guards and galloped towards Xuantu County.
Along the way, I met many businessmen who returned disappointed and sighed. Their transportation costs were not low, but no one bought them when they arrived in the North, so they had to sell them to Goryeo and Baekje at a lower price.
Goryeo and Baekje have established a system in many years of trade, and prices have tended to be stable. There are also many merchants in Yangzhou and they are highly competitive. Only the nomads in the north will pay higher prices.
It¡¯s a pity that these fools actually moved the tribe.
Of course, in order to prevent capitalizing on the enemy, Chen Deng controlled the trade in the North very strictly. The goods were concentrated on luxury goods, such as tea, porcelain, etc. Ironware was prohibited.
Chen Deng collected intelligence along the way, and the news of the war became stronger and stronger.
"This is not a good thing." Wang Zifa sighed.
"This is just our guess." Chen Deng was still lucky.
It wasn¡¯t until he left Xuantu County and found some Xianbei tribes that Chen Deng learned part of the truth.
The Xianbei and Wuhuan people are fighting!
From the end of the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, Wuhuan and Xianbei were both known as Donghu. They are from the same branch, and they all evolved from Donghu.
Now that they are fighting, will it have any impact on Pingzhou? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
