    During this year, Lu Bu led 20,000 Imperial Guards back to Luoyang, and sent 50,000 generals Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, and Chou to support Tai Shici in attacking the Three Han Dynasties. He left 80,000 troops under the command of Zhang Liao to block everyone in the periphery.  At the exit of the mountain road, they would go into the mountain from time to time to sweep away the Sushen people. However, Zhang Liao's army spent most of their time supervising the Wuhuan people, Fuyu people, Goguryeo people, and the Han criminals who had been transferred here to serve as laborers, a total of four  More than 100,000 people worked together to develop this black land.

    This black land is located in the vast desolate areas of the Nenjiang River Basin of Heilongjiang, the Heilongjiang Valley and the Sanjiang Plain. To its north is the extraordinary Xiaoxing'anling area.  To the west is the Songnen Plain area. The Nen River flows southward from the Yilhurli Mountains for thousands of miles and merges with the Songhua River. To the east is the famous Sanjiang Plain area.  The Heilongjiang River flows for thousands of miles, the Songhua River has many twists and turns, and the Wusuli River is gentle and quiet. The three water veins meet quietly in the depths of the plain and flow eastward to the sea.

    The vast Xingkai Lake is adjacent to it, and the beautiful Wanda Mountain runs through it. The average altitude is 54 meters, and the slope of 1/10,000 forms a rare flat terrain.  This is one of the three largest black soil belts in the world. The soil is fertile and the organic matter content averages between 3-5%, and in some areas it is as high as 10% or more.  Therefore, it has the reputation of "you can pinch a handful of black soil and oily flowers will sprout, and insert a pair of chopsticks and they will sprout".

    There are abundant water resources here, with crisscrossing rivers on the surface, considerable groundwater, and abundant atmospheric precipitation, making it extremely suitable for agricultural development.

    But now there is no one for hundreds of miles, and the wilderness is endless. It needs to be vigorously developed, so Lu Bu organized 400,000 people to open up that fertile land, and also encouraged people from the interior to go, especially those from the north.  People in cold climates, these legal citizens can automatically enjoy 500 acres of land and five serfs after arriving in the Great Northern Wilderness, and can also be exempted from tax for three years.

    Such preferential policies inspired 40,000 people to go.  Of course, most of these 40,000 people were men. They married women from Buyeo and Goguryeo as wives and concubines, and took root here. However, they still received Confucian education and were all incorporated into the local county soldiers. The 40,000 county soldiers effectively controlled  After occupying this land, Lu Bu placed 10,000 regular troops here, and then killed all the royal families and nobles of the Buyeo and Goguryeo people, which was enough to make it impossible for the Buyeo and Goguryeo people to regain their country.  Enough to ensure that this fertile land will always be peaceful.

    This is the Great Northern Wilderness that later became world-famous. Most of the land here is fertile, and some are low-humid swamps. The growing season is short, but crops such as corn, spring wheat, soybeans, sugar beets, and sorghum can be grown.  As long as you pay attention to low temperature damage, you will have a good harvest.

    Zhang Liao¡¯s army supervised those Fuyu and Goguryeo people who climbed ice and snow, drained swamps, reclaimed wasteland, and established many military farms. Later, Han citizens also opened up small private farms one by one, producing a large amount of food.  The "Beidahuang", which was inaccessible in the past, was built into the beautiful and rich "Beidacang".

    A few years later, there were more than 20 million acres of cultivated land, with wheat, soybeans, and corn growing into square patches.  Endless as far as the eye can see.

    Lu Bu remembered that due to excessive reclamation in the Great Northern Wilderness in later generations, the wetland area was reduced by 80%, and a large number of rare animals lost their habitats.  Many places were forced to return farmland to forests.

    Lu Bu allowed Beidahuang to maintain the size of 500,000 people, and did not allow latecomers to continue to colonize the wasteland.  Let this land preserve five million acres of forestland, eight million acres of grassland, and five million acres of water surface. Let the soil change in Beidahuang, with black soil producing gold; the water becoming clear, flowing thousands of miles; the trees turning green, and full of green  The moving scene of green mountains has become a green treasure house.

    Beidahuang changed its appearance and became Beidacang. Zhang Liao's army, with the assistance of the Wudang Feijun and Shanyue Corps composed of southern barbarians, successfully wiped out the Sushen people and took some of the Fuyu people's friends to Dongyi and Wo.  All the people were wiped out.

    Dongyi, Goguryeo and Woju are both branches of Fuyu, and their language is similar.  Donghao people and Goguryeo people hold a heaven-sacrifice ceremony with singing, dancing and martial arts performances in the tenth month of each year. Donghao people regard tigers as sacred objects.  There are about 20,000 households in Dongyi, who make a living by farming.  Dongyi's laws severely punish those who occupy public land.

    Woju and Dongyi are both branches of Buyeo, and their language and customs are similar to those of Goguryeo.  Dongwokju is roughly located in Hamgyeong Province in North Goryeo. Bukwokju is roughly located in the Tumen River basin. Dongwokju is often referred to as Wokju. Wokju is adjacent to Donghyeo in the south.

    In the early days of the formation of Woju, Woju was unable to form an independent country because its jurisdiction swung between the four counties of Han Dynasty and Goguryeo.  Woju became a vassal of Goguryeo in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD.  In 244 AD, when Cao Wei attacked Goguryeo, King Dongchuan of Goguryeo temporarily retreated to Beiwoju.  In 285, Crown Prince Fuyu also fled to Woju when he was attacked by northern nomads.  In the early 5th century, King Goodae of Goguryeo completely incorporated Woju into the territory of Goguryeo.

    When Goguryeo was easily pacified by Lu Bu, how could the two vassal states of Donghao and Woju, with less than 10,000 soldiers, compete with Zhang Liao's army?Then they were destroyed, and the people of the entire country became serfs of the citizens of the Chinese Empire.

    Zhang Liao¡¯s army swept across the entire Heilongjiang River Basin, the Daxinganling Mountains, and the entire Northeast region. There was no longer a foreign race that could disturb Han rule.

    At the same time, Taishi Ci, Yu Jin, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, and Chou joined forces with a total of 100,000 troops to attack Sanhan and Baekje. According to the plan of Jia Kui who joined the army, he first pretended to agree to allocate the land to Sanhan and Baekje.  Baekje, lured Baekje to attack the three Koreas, and then wiped them out together when both sides suffered losses. The King of Baekje would not fall for such a strategy. However, he followed the advice of one of his princesses, which could even be called blind obedience.  Jia Kui sent agents to bribe the greedy princess. According to Jia Kui's teachings, the princess successfully deceived the King of Baekje and raised troops to attack Sanhan. Taishi Ci also specially gave the King of Baekje many weapons and armors, which were actually from Goguryeo.  The central regular army looked down upon the garbage seized in Buyeo and Buyeo, so they reused it and gave it to King Baekje to massacre his compatriots.

    At this time, Mahan among the three Hans had been annexed by Baekje, and the remaining Chenhan and Bianhan were very hostile to Baekje.

    When Baekje and Samhan were both losing, Taishici's 100,000-strong army arrived and defeated all the remaining armies of these two forces in one fell swoop. Taking advantage of the victory, they captured the three capitals of Samhan and Baekje.  In the capital, Taishi Ci spent three months to completely eliminate all hostile forces in the Korean Peninsula occupied by Samhan and Baekje.

    Immediately afterwards, the imperial court issued an announcement that each Han citizen who was willing to go to the Koryo Peninsula could be allocated one hundred acres of farmland and two serfs, tax-free for two years. The conditions were far worse than those in the Northern Wilderness because the Koryo Peninsula had already been occupied by Baekje and Samhan.  People have developed it, and the environment is no longer so harsh.

    Because later generations of the Korean Peninsula can cultivate 50 million acres of fertile land, and the cultivated land still retains 20% of the forest coverage, so Lu Bu decided to reclaim 40 million acres of fertile land on the Korean Peninsula. According to the output per mu at this time,  According to half of the derivation methods of later generations, the Koryo Peninsula can support a population of 20 million, but Lu Bu only plans to immigrate 200,000 people there for the time being, and the population will slowly transfer and grow in the future.

    In order to prevent the serfs of Goguryeo and Buyeo from rebelling, as well as the serfs of Samhan and Baekje, Lu Bu issued an order to let the serfs of Goguryeo and Buyeo who had developed the Northern Wilderness go south to replace the serfs of Samhan and Baekje, leaving them all in a foreign land.  , being in a strange place, the tribes were scattered, and the serfs on each Han farmer's farm did not know each other.

    Lu Bu also gave the serfs some hope, announcing that one percent of the serfs would be converted into Han Chinese every year. After becoming Han, they could become farmers and enjoy fertile land and serfs. Of course, this one percent chance was only given to those who performed well and were docile.  people.  Twenty years later, 20% of the foreign serfs became Han people. Others who were too poor would never have a chance. At this time, the Han nation's rule over the local area was deeply entrenched, and they were no longer those who had no hope.  Serfs can be shaken.

    The northern part of the Koryo Peninsula is relatively rich in mineral resources, with more than 300 minerals, and the reserves of graphite and magnesite are among the best in the world.  There are abundant reserves of iron ore, non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, zinc, copper, gold, and silver, and non-metallic minerals such as coal, limestone, mica, and asbestos. There are also petroleum resources. Among them, the Musan Iron Mine located in the border area of ??North Hamgyong Province has been proven  The reserves are more than 5 billion tons and the recoverable amount is 3 billion tons.  The total value of underground mineral resources is as high as 64 trillion U.S. dollars, including 2,000 tons of gold, 50 million tons of iron, 6 billion tons of magnesite, 4.5 billion tons of anthracite, and 2.9 million tons of copper. Only one magnesite ore is enough for North Korea.  180,000 years.

    However, North Korea was limited by their wrong development model. They were sitting on a treasure mountain but so many people starved to death. On the contrary, South Korea did not have any decent resources. Even the per capita cultivated land area was only half of that of North Korea. However, their per capita gross national income exceeded  The per capita GNP of North Korea is only over 1,000 US dollars. The difference is so many times that it is enough to see that advanced political systems can determine the development of productivity more than resources.

    From the contrast between Northern and Southern Korea, Lu Bu was thinking about whether the constitutional monarchy system his empire currently pursues is feasible. He will spend five years to see whether the political system he promotes promotes economic development or hinders it.  economic development.

    Later, he discovered that there was nothing wrong with his constitutional monarchy. As long as the corruption of the bureaucratic class was curbed, the bureaucrats had no chance of corruption, and power was allowed to operate in the sun, the national income would be at least five times higher than when it was a monopoly and dictatorship. Inference  At this point, he couldn't help crying. What kind of tears were he crying? Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say that I want nothing more.
