"Kong Ming, Cao Cao is now moving his capital to Yecheng, and officials, soldiers and people from all over the country are moving. Can we take the opportunity to send troops to capture Wancheng?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "No. There is not much population in Wancheng now, so it is useless to take it. The lord's goal is still Jingzhou. Only by trying to obtain Jingzhou can you go to Bashu again. Only by having the land of Bashu can you have the foundation for achieving the imperial career."

Liu Bei nodded: "At that time, Emperor Gaozu took Bashu as the foundation and then won the world. Now the Han Dynasty is in danger, so he must restore the ambition of Emperor Gaozu and revive the Han Dynasty!"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said, "Ling must assist the lord in restoring the Han Dynasty, but now Lu Bu, Sun Quan, and Cao Cao are growing stronger and stronger. The lord should not be backward anymore, so the Tujing plan must be accelerated!"

Liu Bei sighed as if he pretended to be a lie, and he was so reluctant to say that he had a relationship with the same clan again.

But in the end, Jingzhou was taken down for justice.

Anyway, the meaning is that Liu Biaokuang could not restore the great man. So he had to come.

To achieve Jingzhou, the Liubei Group must take at least two paths.

First, we should try our best to win over the gentry of Jingzhou, and second, we should provoke the struggle between the Cai family and the Kuai family.

It is also equivalent to a battle for the position of prince.

Only after these two families are fighting hard and both lose money can Liu Bei take advantage of the situation and reap profits.

Time flies, and winter comes in a blink of an eye.

At this time, Cao Cao made the request to deliver the territory with Lu Bu.

In short, his army and officials were withdrawn, and these territories were given to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu did not care about them.

Such a big thing, the final decision cannot be made by the court meeting.

Now, how could all officials not scold Cao Cao?

Cao Cao not only moved all the young and strong men, but also delivered the land in this winter.

What are left behind are the old and the weak, and there is no food left at all.

If Lu Bu didn't care, he would definitely lose the people's hearts.

After the officials vented their emotions, Chen Gong finally said, "Dare you ask the king, how to deal with the four states?"

Lu Bu smiled: "There is an old family, like a treasure. The elderly are not completely useless. They have more social experience and are more mature and stable than young people. Now that our medical conditions have greatly improved, human life expectancy will also increase accordingly. With the grain storage we now have, even if we raise an additional 5 million people, it is okay. Just hundreds of thousands of elderly people, what are you afraid of?"

After understanding Lu Bu's thoughts, Chen Gong had to ask again: "Now we have achieved four states. Although the population is not abundant, it still needs governance. I wonder what the king has to think?"

"It's very simple!" Lu Bu took a sip of the tea ceremony: "We can move all the population, as long as we move now, we should be able to complete this project before the end of the year."

"Great migration!" Chen Gong said in surprise: "Dong Zhuo was in chaos in the past and moved his population from Luoyang to Chang'an. He was full of complaints and countless casualties. Now that winter is coming, I am afraid that the people will not have the will to move!"

"Hmph!" Lu Bu snorted coldly: "I am not a natural good person. If anyone doesn't want to move, then let him die. I will not let the people bear any taxes, but instead need to fund a lot of supplies. If you dare to hinder me, you will perish yourself."

When Lu Bu got angry, all officials quit.

Lu Bu then stood up and walked to the big map: "I have chosen the railway trunk line, from east to west, Xia Pi, Pengcheng, Xuchang, Luoyang and Chang'an. After arriving in Chang'an, go north to Anding to prepare for the future northern expedition of the grasslands. Go west to Longxi to prepare for the pacification of Xiliang."

Lu Bu turned around and faced Chen Gong and said, "Right Prime Minister!"

"I'm here!" Pang Tong responded immediately.

"You immediately send troops to various places to migrate the people, and move all the population nearby to cities around the railway trunk line. Be sure to complete the migration before the end of the year!"

"I obey the order!"

"Left Prime Minister!"

"I am here!" Chen Gong responded with a solemn voice.

"You immediately mobilize supplies and order all officials to make a good population resettlement plan. This matter must not be wrong!"

"Abide by the order!"

With Lu Bu's order, almost all the people in Xuzhou were mobilized.

The army dispatched 50,000 troops, and countless logistics staff were involved.

For a group of old people, Lu Bu was exhausted by the country's national strength.

In fact, in the troubled times, ordinary civilian elderly people cannot live long.

There are only about 200,000 people who really stayed.

Because of the useful population, Cao Cao moved to Jizhou.

Therefore, material loss was not as great as Lu Bu imagined.

What is really consumed is more manpower.

But Lu Bu's move was a great success.

Now, although Lu Bu has been free of the four states, he is actually empty land.

There is no rooster crowing thousands of miles away, which is simply a true portrayal.

Lu Bu, who had the territory, only deployed his troops in cities along the railway line.

Now that the population and productivity are insufficient, it is impossible for Lu Bu to build a railway widely.

Therefore, Lu Bu tried his best to choose a straight-line city for this railway.

The key cities that were leaving were Xia Pi, Pengcheng, Xuchang, Luoyang and Chang'an.

In the future, this railway will continue to extend westward, spanning the entire Eurasian continent.

This is a truly huge project, and it can finally be put on the construction agenda.

Although he had previously obtained 500,000 slaves from Japan, Lu Bu assigned these slaves to mining, smelting, mining rocks, building canals, and dock transporting and other heavy physical positions in various mining sites.

Although it seems that there is a lot of manpower, Lu Bu is far from enough to expand his production capacity.

Now that Japan has conquered half of the conquest, Lu Bu estimated that he could only plunder 500,000 slaves from Japan.

Because the population of Japan is not as large as that of later generations.

If they were arrested as slaves, they would definitely have to rebel. They would not be able to unify Japan at all.

In this way, Lu Bu had already decided that all subsequent slaves would be used to build railways.

He didn't believe it, and he could not practice it with hundreds of thousands of people.

With the resources of Japan, Lu Bu is not short of food now.

All he lacks is labor.

But when Lu Bu thought of building a railway, he felt a little difficult.

Because of his later experience, he certainly knew that the standard track of the railway was 1435 mm. The history originated from the track distance of the carriages of the Roman Empire.

But equally, Lu Bu also knew that this track was gradually unable to meet the requirements of later generations.

Especially when Lu Bu thinks of the crowded and sour feet when he was a child, he will never forget it.

If you can choose, of course the wider the railway, the better.

However, the wider the track, the higher the construction cost.

The flat road is not too big, but if you want to build a bridge or dig a cave, the cost is several times or even dozens of times.

Moreover, the technical requirements are very high.

Especially for bridges, wide rails mean higher load-bearing. If the bridge does not meet the standards, it will definitely collapse.

The reason why most people adopted the international standard of 1435 mm in later generations was that when the railway was first built, there was not such a high or so demand.

Then, the railway has been repaired in large quantities, so naturally it can only be followed by this standard. If you want to modify it later, the cost is too great, which is equivalent to the scrapping of all the railways and trains.

Lu Bu has experience in later generations, so of course he does not want to re-take the old path.

But if he practices a broad track, it will greatly delay his journey to the north and the west.

After struggling for a while, Lu Bu decided to use a wide track. You must know that this determines the specifications of the whole world.

Since you have experience in later generations, of course, you will choose the best specifications from the beginning.

The original rail standard was determined by the Romans' horse butt, and now it is up to him.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Bu thought of a way.

That is his height.

Because he always felt that he was very high, but how high was it, there was no quantity!

Lu Bu quickly put on the wall and measured it. When he saw the numbers, he was shocked.
