Wozhou, Jiangnan County.
This is the area governed by Cao Pi and the newly planned county seat. Jiangnan County is located on Kyushu Island. The area within the county is relatively flat. It is not mountainous like many other places and is prone to earthquakes.
Relatively speaking, this is a better area.
There were originally many trees in Jiangnan County. After Cao Pi took office, he organized people to cut down trees and cultivate fertile farmland on a large scale. Coupled with the water source within the territory, Jiangnan County is relatively prosperous compared to other areas.
In the early years of Kyushu Island, in addition to the basic large cities, the surrounding areas were full of mountains and forests, and the roads were not smooth. Because of the continuous felling of trees and continuous land reclamation and road construction, administrative areas were opened up everywhere.
When Cao Pi governed Jiangnan County, he mainly opened up wasteland, constantly digging mountains, digging canals, and building roads. These were the most basic means of infrastructure construction.
Only this can ensure the most basic farming.
Without reclaiming local land, development cannot occur.
However, Cao Pi promoted not only farming, but also commerce. The Cao family had the resources to know how to weave cloth. For this reason, Cao Pi hired people who knew how to weave from the Cao family in China to manufacture cloth on a large scale and sell it to other places.
In addition to cloth, Cao Pi also tried his best to develop other paper industries, salt industries, etc.
Compared with its surrounding areas, Cao Pi's Jiangnan County is very outstanding. However, Cao Pi was not very satisfied. No matter how prosperous it was, such a county could not compare with a small county in China. There was no comparability.
Cao Pi thought about it but had no idea, because it was too barren, coupled with population restrictions and lack of materials, the development was very slow.
This is the innate limitation of Japan.
In the county government office, Cao Pi was reading a book boredly. This was the latest language book to be promoted. It was very simple, but it was not easy to promote it. From the very beginning when Xun Yu was planning in Japan, he was changing the language of Japan.
Today, the official language of the Ming Dynasty can be spoken in many places.
Cao Pi is also promoting it and doing a good job. It's just that Cao Pi also hoped to establish a school and teach more people knowledge, not only to be able to speak, but also to understand the meaning of Confucian classics.
When Cao Pi was reading, he would occasionally think of his father, Cao Cao, and his eldest brother, Cao Ang.
My father has always been working with the emperor.
The eldest brother has stayed in Nanjing.
This is the fate of the Cao family.
Relatively speaking, his fortune is relatively good. He can go out to serve as an official and does not need to worry about anything. He only needs to concentrate on his own affairs.
"Tap! Tread!!"
There was a sound of rapid footsteps.
An attendant hurriedly entered and reported: "Your Majesty, a letter has come from the court. Please read it."
Cao Pi took the letter and read it quickly. When he saw the contents of the letter, his face was filled with ecstasy and excitement. The emperor agreed that the Cao family should go to the Kangaroo Kingdom in advance.
This is a great thing.
Cao Pi also noticed in the letter that the Kangaroo Kingdom was a primitive tribe, similar to the Japanese Kingdom.
However, Kangaroo Country is vast.
Materials are also abundant.
Its climate is also more stable, unlike here in Japan, where the mountains shake from time to time, causing landslides and ground cracks.
The most important point is that Cao Pi is used to the people in the Japanese country and can manage it bit by bit. Even if he goes to the Kangaroo Kingdom, he can change it bit by bit and go to the Kangaroo Kingdom to build a city and develop it.
As long as the sky is high and the birds can fly, it's a good deal.
Cao Pi was so excited that he wanted to fly to Xiangzhou immediately, meet his father Cao Cao, and then take his people to the Kangaroo Kingdom. However, Cao Pi regained his composure after being agitated and ordered: "Whoever comes, please inform Zhang County Cheng to come and discuss the matter."
Zhangxian Cheng's name is Zhang Tong, a member of the Zhang family in Pengcheng, and can be regarded as a clan member of Zhang Zhao. However, the relationship is very far away, and the fifth server has long been released, which means that the family trees of the ancestors can be linked together.
Zhang Tong was over 20 years old and had few opportunities in China, so he took the initiative to come to Wozhou and was directly appointed as the county magistrate.
His knowledge was actually very ordinary, and he couldn't even go to the Five Classics Hall. In China, there would be no chance of becoming an official. But in Wozhou, he was a rare person who had studied and had the opportunity to become an official.
In the short time that Zhang Tong was in Wozhou, he became tanned and more calm, unlike in the past when he was walking dogs and fighting cocks. After being notified by Cao Pi, he came to the county government office soon and saluted: "Your Excellency!"
Cao Pi nodded and said, "Zhang County Cheng, we have been working together for more than a year, right?"
"Almost two years."
Zhang Tong looked emotional.
He looked sad and said: "When I first arrived in Jiangnan County, I had a lot of friction with the County Lord. I thought the County Lord was young. Unexpectedly, the County Lord handled things in an orderly manner, and the County Lord had outstanding martial arts skills."
"Last year in Jiangnan County, there were some unruly people who caused trouble, saying that they had destroyed their ancestral graves, damaged the local feng shui, and dared to attack the county government office. If the county government hadn't taken action at that time, killed the unruly people and eliminated the leader of the thieves, there would be no way It plays a role in deterring unruly people.”
"This is the kindness of the county."
A look of gratitude appeared on Zhang Tong's face and he said, "Without the county magistrate, I would have died a long time ago. After all, the county government was unprepared at that time."
Cao Pi smiled and said: "As the magistrate of Jiangnan County, it is my duty to take action. I invite you here this time because I am about to step down as magistrate and leave Japan."
"ah!"
Zhang Tong was surprised when he heard this and said quickly: "Where will the county minister go this time when he resigns?"
Cao Pi did not hide anything, and told Lu Xuan's arrangements for the Cao family, saying: "Early years ago, Your Majesty promised to give the Kangaroo Country to my Cao family. Now, I am going to the Kangaroo Country to open up wasteland. The Kangaroo Country is vast, and it is close to the Japanese." Like a state, it takes a lot of time to run.”
Zhang Tong thought quickly after hearing this.
Kangaroo country!
This is indeed an opportunity.
Although he and Zhang Zhao were members of the same tribe, in fact, they had no relationship at all and could not get in touch. With his status, he can't even enter the Zhang family's house. If there is no one to support him, he may be able to serve as a county magistrate in Wozhou in his life, and if he gets a more important job, he will take an official position in the county governor's office.
It is difficult to go further.
If you go to the Kangaroo Kingdom and follow Cao Pi, you will be the minister of the elders.
After Zhang Tong thought about it in his mind, he said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Kangaroo Country, and I sincerely ask your Majesty to take you in."
Cao Pi also had a smile on his face and said, "It's great that Zhang Xiancheng is willing to go with me. I know your abilities."
"Zhang Tong, meet my lord."
Zhang Tong saluted again and recognized the master directly.
Cao Pi stretched out his hand to lift Zhang Tong, with a bright smile on his face. After he leaves office this time, Jiangnan County also has some talents from China, and he plans to poach them. As for who will come to Jiangnan County in the future, it will be a follow-up matter.
He can't control that much.
Cao Pi made quick arrangements, and after recruiting all his people, he quickly resigned and left Japan with his people without any regrets. He wanted to return to Nanjing first, say goodbye to his brother, and at the same time take away some people from the Cao family again.
