Chapter 1057: Promote Zhuge Liang

.. , the strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms

"This road is really difficult."

When going south, the road is not easy. There are no people in the south for a long time, and there is no development.

Although Zhang Yu has developed these places, he has not yet repaired all the roads.

In many places, there are no roads at all.

"Hey, if you want to get rich, build roads first."

The communication with the south is mainly by sea, and the land route is too bad.

Zhang Yu must build roads here, but here, it is very difficult.

There are many mountains, so it’s okay to build slowly. The main reason is that the population in this area is small after all, and there are relatively few cities. It is very expensive to build roads and mobilize manpower and resources from far away.

However, this must also be repaired. If it is not repaired, there will be problems in the rule of the south.

To build roads, build them immediately, if not in one year, it will take ten years, or even decades, Zhang Yu will also build all the roads in the south, and build a lot of passages.

After walking for more than 20 days, Zhang Yu finally arrived in Guangdong.

Two places along the coast here have seen considerable development.

However, if the road is not repaired, it will be difficult to control it in the future, and it will not be able to communicate effectively with other places.

Zhang Yu inspected various places, and the development here is indeed very good.

"It's time to develop well. It is convenient to communicate with Tianzhu, and it has become a big economy."

It is convenient to communicate with the southeast region and Tianzhu. Zhang Yu decided to strengthen the management here, and even call in more troops.

Because there are no enemies here, Zhang Yu only deployed an army of two thousand.

"The draft decree is to appoint Zhuge Liang as the governor of Jiaozhou. After receiving the decree, he will go to the post immediately."

"The decree is to let the cabinet transfer 20 graduate students and 100 imperial examination talents to serve in Jiaozhou."

"The decree is that Ling Cao will station 10,000 troops in Jiaozhou, and transfer all the students of the general school to Jiaozhou for training."

Zhang Yu issued three imperial decrees in a row.

This decree has a deep meaning.

Zhuge Liang is his most valued reserve staff, and he has always given important tasks.

Moreover, calling 20 graduate students and 100 imperial examination talents is also a big deal.

In addition, Ling Cao was the one who followed Zhang Yu first and was most trusted by Zhang Yu.

There may be no deep meaning in letting these people go to Jiaozhou.

"Jiaozhou must be firmly controlled. It is too large. This port has become the largest port. I am afraid that the Maritime Silk Road will start from here in the future."

Many ships traveling from south to north stop here for supplies, and this place naturally becomes a large port.

Moreover, there are quite a few people gathered here, with a total of several million people, so it is no longer a small place.

However, due to the remoteness of the place and the inconvenient communication, the governance here is relatively extensive.

Today, Zhang Yu wants to focus on developing here.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have transferred Zhuge Liang over.

Not long after Zhuge Liang officially became an official, he was already a state shepherd, and he was promoted very quickly.

And Zhang Yu's imperial decree is the state shepherd, not the governor, and the state shepherd controls everything, including military power.

Does Zhang Yu trust Zhuge Liang?

Of course he trusted him, otherwise he wouldn't have given the state pastor such a high position.

But he wasn't defenseless either. The leader of the army was not someone, but Ling Cao.

Ling Cao was one of his most self-willed people, with him around, there was no need to worry about someone going to betray him.

This Zhuge Liang, at a young age, was given the position of state pastor, and his official position was still above Ling Cao.

Ling Cao's official position this time was not high, similar to the position of the commander of the forbidden army, and he still stayed in the military academy to train the army.

But this position is not the same, the commander of the forbidden army, that is, Zhang Yu's personal guard, is not a high-ranking official, but he is Zhang Yu's closest person.

This treatment is not available to everyone.

"It's so important here."

Zhang Yu appointed Zhuge Liang. In addition to his excellence, he is also young.

Young people can accept new ideas, can develop the navigation industry well, and can well connect this place with the southeast region, around the Indian Ocean and other places.

Zhang Yu will even give Zhuge Liang more power in the future, allowing him to manage overseas places.

Full trust, full prevention.

Zhang Yu went to several places in Jiaozhou. The management here is too extensive, and the composition of the population in the port area is complicated, and crimes often occur.

"To build a road, even if you build a simple road first, you have to build it first."

Xiu Chidao, at present, seems a bit unrealistic.

But it is no problem to build a simple road with a width of 20 to 30 meters.

Zhang Yu inspected the shipyard here, the port here.

"This is already one of the four major ports. In the future, it will have closer ties with the southeast region, and it will definitely become one of the largest ports. It must be well developed," Zhang Yu said.

In Guangdong, it is difficult to become the first port at present, because there is not so many people behind it.

But becoming the No. 1 port in the South is completely fine.

Therefore, Zhang Yu attaches great importance to this place.

Zhuge Liang and Ling Cao were transferred here, and even Zhang Yu wanted to build a college here, but it is not realistic yet, but it is no problem to move the general school there. The army is training everywhere, and it is also possible for them to train there. Nothing bad.

Zhang Yu patrolled here for about ten days, gained a certain understanding of the whole area, and then went back by boat.

On the way, Zhang Yu met Zhuge Liang who was coming at sea.

So Zhang Yu stopped.

"My lord, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Come on, our monarchs and ministers will drink tea and chat on the sea."

Zhang Yu rented a large merchant ship in Jiaozhou, and there were two escort ships. Many things were prepared on board.

After Zhuge Liang saluted, he sat opposite Zhang Yu.

"Transfer you to Jiaozhou. This is a wilder place than Liaodong, and it was also a place where criminals were sent out during the Qin and Han Dynasties. What do you think?" Zhang Yu said.

"I don't dare to have any ideas. Your Majesty's order, I should do my best. Besides, Jiaozhou is no longer a barren land." Zhuge Liang replied cautiously.

The water boiled, Zhang Yu poured a cup of tea, and then gave Zhuge Liang a cup.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly saluted.

After taking two sips of tea, Zhang Yu said, "That's right, it's not a wild place anymore, and it's very developed, with close ties with overseas countries, so it can't be managed extensively. Someone must manage and develop it well."

"Zhen, I value you, and I will promote you immediately. Most of the people who are at the same time as you are still at the county magistrate level, and a small number are already in the county guard position. And you, the state shepherd of Jiaozhou, will not be long. Become a center of gravity." Zhang Yu said.

Zhuge Liang was moved, and what Zhang Yu said was true.

Many people may think that Jiaozhou is still a barren land, and this inherent concept is difficult to change.

Those who transfer senior qualifications will think that this is out of favor and assigned to the frontier, but for a newcomer like Zhuge Liang, it is undoubtedly an exceptional promotion.

Not a concept at all.

Zhang Yu did so, naturally with deep meaning.

"After you arrive in Jiaozhou, there are a few things to do..."
