Chapter 475

In Wancheng, Nanyang,

"Hmm?"

When Sima Yi and Sima Fang calculated their family's fate and involved Su Xuan, it was immediately sensed by Su Xuan.

With a thought, he passed the result he had adapted.

Then, he said with a light smile: "Sure enough, being careful is always right! This Sima family still has capable people!"

"Is it Sima Yi and Sima Fang? Interesting!"

"Sure enough, in a world with extraordinary power, the Sima family will definitely not be that simple;"

"Otherwise, how could they successfully usurp the world of Cao Wei in the future?"

There must be their own methods and abilities.

Not only that, it is indeed so.

Thinking of this, Su Xuan shook his head with a light smile: "It's a pity! Because of my existence in this world, your dreams will eventually only be like the moon in the water and flowers in the mirror, and will never be realized;"

"Even, you will soon be reunited as a family and go to the Yellow Springs together;"

"Who told me to hate you so much?"

In this world, no matter what, he will not allow the tragedy of Sima usurping the throne and the Five Barbarians causing chaos to appear again.

His Great Han people will also stand at the top of the world forever, and no civilization can replace them.

Because he doesn't allow it!

Another 7 days passed,

Yang Hong had finally prepared the ransom and money and grain, and transported them to the vicinity of Yexian.

At the same time, he also brought Yuan Shu's troops in Runan and other places to guard against Su Xuan directly turning hostile.

Then, he came to Wancheng alone again to see Su Xuan and bowed respectfully: "Governor, 2 million shi of grain and 1 million gold in ransom have all been prepared and transported to the vicinity of Yexian!"

"I don't know where my lord is? Can we carry out the ransom transaction?"

At this time, Yang Hong was actually still very uneasy.

Because he knew that the tens of thousands of troops he helped organize were nothing in Su Xuan's eyes.

If Su Xuan chose to turn hostile and not recognize people, and directly started grabbing, those troops couldn't stop him at all.

But he had no other choice.

He could only bite the bullet and come, and pray that Su Xuan was a person who kept his promise and would trade as agreed.

After all, in this era, reputation is still very important.

Especially for a warlord like Su Xuan.

"Haha! Naturally!"

Su Xuan heard this and laughed aloud: "Pi'e, your speed is still very fast! Being so capable, it's a pity to follow Yuan Shu. Why don't you come to my side and work for me after this matter?"

"Uh..."

Not to mention, Yang Hong was very moved when he heard this and wished he could agree directly.

But he knew that the new policies Su Xuan implemented were inconsistent with his philosophy.

And it was also unfavorable to the family behind him.

In addition, this would offend Yuan Shu and the Yuan clan to death, which would be even more unfavorable to his Yang clan.

He would not do such a stupid thing.

He could only suppress the palpitation in his heart and shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Governor, but one person does not serve two masters. I have already defected to my lord Yuan Shu; how can I defect to another?"

"Please don't make things difficult for me, Governor!"

Su Xuan heard this and smiled, thinking: "If I couldn't read minds and read the thoughts in your heart, I would have really believed you were a loyal person!"

"It's a pity..."

Fortunately, he himself didn't really want to recruit Yang Hong; he was just joking on purpose just now.

If it really happened, he wouldn't mind taking Yang Hong and sending him to do some suitable things.

After all, there are no useless people, only people who are not used in the right place.

Even trash can be recycled!

Let alone people?

However, since Yang Hong refused, he had nothing to say.

Su Xuan immediately replied: "Since you have already prepared! I naturally won't break my word! I will arrange for someone to take you to see Brother Gonglu later!"

"Tomorrow morning, we will set off for Yexian, and by then, we can complete the handover there!"

"Anyway, except for Brother Gonglu, the other soldiers captured by our army have already been transferred to Yexian in advance."

Because he had predicted all this long ago!

Preparing in advance is also good for completing the transaction early and starting the reform and construction of Nanyang early.

Over the past few days, Su Xuan had already let Huang Zhong bring the 300,000+ common people intercepted from Dong Zhuo to Nanyang.

Then, under the arrangement and dispatch of Xun You and Guo Jia, some of these people stayed in Nanyang to settle down.

And began to further develop Nanyang according to Su Xuan's plan.

This time, taking Nanyang from Yuan Shu, he had already purged a wave of gentry in Nanyang who had defected to Yuan Shu.

He didn't kill them all, only those who were guilty of heinous crimes.

The rest were all packed up and sent to Yexian.

Preparing to send them to Yuan Shu as a supplement for the ransom.

Anyway, the foundation of these families had basically been emptied by Yuan Shu.

And this time, even the fixed family property and such things were confiscated by Su Xuan, so why keep these gentry people who had two hearts and were not on the same path as him?

Naturally, they were all sent to Yuan Shu!

By then, wouldn't Yuan Shu have to spend effort and money to appease and settle these people?

After all, Yuan Shu had borrowed a lot of money and grain from them back then.

Originally, Yuan Shu didn't intend to pay it back because he was prepared to run away, abandon Nanyang, and abandon these gentry.

But now Su Xuan clearly didn't intend to give him the opportunity to abandon these burdens.

Even for the sake of face and reputation, Yuan Shu would have to settle these people well by then.

And Su Xuan also obtained a relatively clean Nanyang because of this.

He obtained a large amount of land and farmland in his hands.

These can be used to settle a large number of common people, let them quickly stabilize production, and bring him a lot of value.

Of course, Su Xuan also took the opportunity to carry out industrial layout and reform in Nanyang.

Textile mills, farms, paper mills, wineries, steel mills... etc., a large number of workshops have already begun to be built in Nanyang.

I believe that in a few years, Nanyang will not only be able to return to the pre-war peak level, but will soon be able to exceed the peak and enter true prosperity.

"In that case, thank you, Governor!"

Yang Hong heard Su Xuan's affirmative answer, and the big stone in his heart finally fell, and he felt much more at ease.

Soon, he was taken by the people Su Xuan arranged to see Yuan Shu.
