The next day, Zhang Fei set out to return to Youzhou according to Zhao Feng's order to pick up his wife Dongfang Yu to Xiangping.

Zhao Feng called Guo Jia and Xi Zhong to the prefect's office. After all, no matter how much jokes are, the work that should be reported must be reported.

"Zhicai, let's talk about the current situation in Youzhou! How is it compared to the Gongsun Zan period?" Zhao Feng asked.

"Reporting to the lord, Youzhou is now more than twice as powerful as Gongsun Zan's prefect! However, because Youzhou is small and not so many people, we have been encouraging childbirth and farming in recent years! And now we have achieved some results. Although the population of Youzhou cannot keep up with the number of Liaodong, it is almost the same!" Xi Zhong reported slowly.

"Youzhou is no longer as barren as Gongsun's period. Due to some mineral deposits, and businessmen come to do business, it has driven the economic development of Youzhou. Moreover, due to proper management, Youzhou has now initially achieved the initial implementation of not closing doors at night and not picking up relics on the road!"

"There is also the issue of military strength. At the beginning, the troops in Youzhou were less than 20,000, and most of the troops stationed in the garrison were transferred from Liaodong. Now, there has been a big improvement. As of the end of this year, Youzhou has recruited 150,000 troops and is training. It is estimated that it will not take long to start fighting!" When reporting on the troops, Guo Jia spoke, because the two of them had a clear division of labor, Xi Zhong was in charge of the government, and Guo Jia was the leader!

"Yes, speaking of it, you two have made great contributions!" Zhao Feng smiled, "From you guys, if Zhengnan and Gonghe were transferred to take charge of the overall situation, would there be any problem?"

"Lord, you didn't joke yesterday?" Guo Jia said with a bitter face.

"Of course, I'm asking you the serious matter! Tell me quickly!" Zhao Feng nodded.

"Okay, with the ability of Gong, Brother and Brother Zhengnan, of course there is no problem!" Guo Jia shrugged helplessly.

"That's good. After the New Year, Duke and He Zheng went to Youzhou south. As for you, I have other arrangements!" Zhao Feng said.

"Okay, who made you the lord?" Xi Zhong said helplessly.

"It's comfortable to talk to you! Haha! It's not as rigid as Mr. Zhongde, and always does things in a straightforward manner, it's uncomfortable!" Zhao Feng shook his head with a big smile.

"Haha, lord, just don't blame us for being careless!" Guo Jia replied with a smile. At the same time, he also admired Zhao Feng in his heart. This is Zhao Feng. If it were someone else, he would not dare to joke with the master publicly. If he couldn't say anything wrong, he would be thrown into the cold palace!

"It's rare to have a confidant in life! With two of you confidants, Feng naturally won't care about anything else! Feng only hopes that no matter what the future is, no matter what height Feng reaches, you can just joke with Feng like now. Don't hinder Feng's future identity and become alienated from Feng!" Zhao Feng sighed.

"It's rare to have a confidant in life..." Guo Xi and the other two looked at each other, and both felt that what Zhao Feng said was very reasonable. It was indeed the case. Before meeting Zhao Feng, they were confidants and depended on each other for their own lives. When they recalled those days, they were also sighing.

"I don't know what the situation in Jizhou is, but roughly speaking, our army's total strength is really large! But this is limited to the garrison troops, and the available forces are still a bit short of it!" Zhao Feng sighed, "Our army has two places, including Changshan, Xinde River and Changshan. It can be said that half of Jizhou has been under our rule!"

"What? Lord, are you saying that Changshan and Hejian are already the territory of our army?" Guo Jia seemed very surprised.

"That's right, these two counties are the reward for our army to send troops to help Yuan Shao retreat Dong Zhuo's army!" Zhao Feng nodded.

"Haha, Yuan Shao is also a character Zhou Du can bear it!" Guo Jia smiled, "In this way, the northern part of Jizhou has been under the rule of our army, and our army's territory is already large enough! What is lacking now is troops!"

"Yes, Feng also thinks so. Forget it, there must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain. Let's develop our own strength first. After the New Year, it will be the same as last year. Implement policies to encourage childbirth and farming! Now that our army has a magical tool like newspapers, it should be much easier to promote than before!"

"Yes, lord, when it comes to this, Jia admires you even more!" Guo Jia praised, "How did you come up with newspapers? And this printing technique! It's simply amazing!"

"Haha, occasionally, occasionally! Feng had a sudden idea, but he didn't expect it to succeed in an instant!" Zhao Feng smiled.

As soon as this sentence came out, the two of them rolled their eyes together. Zhao Feng was so shameless, he was so bad! Even if you want it? Just kidding, you can try it!

But Zhao Feng was also quite helpless. He didn't say that this was based on the experience of later generations, right? So he had to make excuses!

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You two think about a problem." Zhao Feng waved his hand and quickly changed the topic.

"What's the problem? Please tell me." Xi Zhong was serious, and Zhao Feng seemed to be talking about some serious problem!

"The barbarians of foreign races have now become Chinese, and they are already wearing Hanfu. How should we arrange them?" Zhao Feng handed over this difficult question to these two people. Zhao Feng thought a lot, just like the autonomous county and autonomous region in later generations, but then, isn't it the same as before? Then what's the point of Chineseization? So, for a moment, Zhao Feng had no choice.

"This..." When the two of them heard Zhao Feng's question, they also thought. Hundreds of thousands of alien races were not a small number. If they were not handled properly, they would cause unrest. Although these alien races could not cause any storm, unrest was not that good after all!

"Feng Kui Lei has such an idea. What do you two think?" Zhao Feng said.

"My lord, please speak! I will listen carefully!" Guo Jia said.

"That's right, we arranged these alien races to all parts of our rule, and gave them some preferential policies to encourage Han people to intermarry with them, and their children will also be treated preferentially, such as extra points for exams, family subsidies, and free admission to Liaodong College for study. We will decide these policies later!" Zhao Feng told the later generations of the policies for ethnic minorities.

"It's amazing!" Guo Jia's eyes lit up, "In this way, those alien races will be completely integrated into our great men!"

"Lord, what if those foreign races are excluded or discriminated against by the Han people?" Xi Zhong expressed his concerns.

"This depends on specific policies! We can't control it, we can only try our best to avoid this when travel policies!" Zhao Feng shook his head.

"Well, this is what Zhong is most worried about. If there is no such thing, Zhong believes it is a good idea!" Xi Zhong nodded and said.
