"Thank you, Lord!" Ma Zhong knelt down again, but at this time, his face was not filled with fear and awe, but with deep gratitude.

There were words in ancient times, that is a status symbol, not everyone can have. And the Lord personally gave the word, that is also a supreme reward, but also means that you will be the Lord Lord's henchman, how can Ma Zhong not be excited!

In fact, Liu Zhong is just to connect with Ma Tao's words, easy to remember, of course, it is also to warn Ma Zhong to be loyal to himself.

"Trustworthy, I want to build a battalion, called Skynet, this battalion is a secret, I personally command, let you be the commander of this battalion, are you competent?" Liu Jun stared into Ma Zhong's eyes and said slowly.

"Don't worry, your subordinates will definitely live up to their mission!" Ma Zhong's tone was very resolute.

"This is about the idea of the Skynet Battalion, you take a look at it first!" "

There must be intelligence to fight a war, this is a modern military concept, the ancients did not attach great importance to it, but just sent detailed work to probe some intelligence before fighting.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao and Sun Quan already attached great importance to intelligence, Guo Jia once built a ghost pawn camp to collect intelligence, and Zhou Yu built a Tianyan camp after Sun Ce was assassinated to collect intelligence.

However, their institutions are far from complete and comprehensive as Liu Cong envisioned, and Liu Cong has detailed measures in terms of how to train spies, how to establish intelligence stations, how to spy on intelligence, how to transmit intelligence, and so on.

Ma Zhong looked at it word by word, his mood seemed extremely excited, excited, and seemed to have forgotten the time and everything around him.

Liu Zhong sipped the tea carefully, looked at Ma Zhong's expression, and showed a satisfied smile, since seeing Ma Zhong, Liu Zhong immediately realized that this was the best person in his Skynet Battalion, and now it could be seen that Ma Zhong was very interested in this.

In this era, people who can be interested in intelligence must be a good spy

"Shou Trust, do you understand the construction of this Tianwang Battalion?" Seeing that Ma Zhong had finished reading it, Liu Jun asked.

"The subordinates understand, the Lord is really a god and a man!" Ma Zhong threw himself at Liu Jun's admiration, "The subordinates must follow the Lord Gong's ideas to form a good Skynet Camp and let it play a powerful role." "

In the words of the time, the Skynet Camp is actually a detailed camp, that is, to probe intelligence, if it is trained according to the method Liu Jun said, and collect intelligence, then what secrets can the other party have?

"The funds for the establishment of the Skynet Camp will be allocated to you unconditionally, and the personnel will be selected by yourself, first spread the points in Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and then go to other states, within three years, you guarantee that there will be Skynet Camps in the thirteen states of the Great Han

Dynasty!"

Three days later, Liu Jun and Deng Ai, leading a group of soldiers and horses, took their mothers Cai Shi and Deng Mu, as well as some maids and retinues, and left Fangling and went to Shangyong.

In Fangling City, two thousand soldiers were left, and all affairs were temporarily handed over to Ma Tao, and after Li Hu came, he had to expand the army by one thousand according to the requirements, although the number of Shangyong people was small, but Liu Jun believed that Cao Cao and Sun Quan were going to fight a big war, as long as Shangyong was well governed, there would be many fleeing people coming here, and the source of troops would not be a problem.

In addition, the grain and grass accumulated here are very abundant, and since the distribution of food to the people, the abandoned fields have also been renovated and will soon prosper.

In the future, to capture Jingzhou, the army will set out from Fangling, so the development here is very important.

When he came to Shangyong, Li Hu was already greeted outside the city, and Liu Jun and his party entered the city in a mighty manner.

Due to the removal of the four major families in Shangyong City, the city was much depressed, but the people had smiles on their faces, because not only the family was gone, but even the one-eyed dragon bandit outside the city was completely wiped out, and the people could go outside the city to cultivate food, and merchants could travel between cities with confidence.

After Li Hu handed over the formalities of the barracks, he went to Fangling, and Deng Ai began to rectify the soldiers and horses. Now in Shangyong City, plus the soldiers brought by Liu Jun, there are only 1,500 people in total, but the food and grass are very rich, from the homes of the four great families, as well as the treasury of the Taishou Mansion, there are nearly 200,000 stone grain, other money, cloth, meat, iron, weapons, etc., so as long as there are people, expanding the army is not a problem.

After Deng Ai put the soldiers and horses in order, he went to Xicheng, where there was only one thousand-year-old commander, and he was simply not up to the task, so all the affairs in Shangyong City were pressed on Liu Jun.

The Shen family has an iron mine, Liu Jun immediately took it over, and sent three hundred soldiers to guard there, for the miners inside, Liu Jun dismissed them as slaves, made them civilians, improved treatment, and gave freedom, in this way, greatly increased the enthusiasm of these miners, and the speed of mining ore was much faster.

After the smelting technology was pointed out by Liu Jun, it has been improved to a certain extent, because during this period, the two-step steel frying method has begun to be used, in fact, through two-step reduction, the impurities inside are removed, and some carbon is added at the same time to make it wrought iron or steel.

It's just that the workshop owners of this era are not clear about the principle of steelmaking, so the temperature in the blast furnace and the amount of coke cannot be well mastered, and Liu Jun directly gave them death regulations according to the proportion, allowing them to reduce many unnecessary processes.

Liu Li believes that as long as these people's skills are proficient, then these weapons of Shangyong Refining should be able to be ahead of this era, but it will take some time.

After the policy of rewarding farming was issued, some of the idle fields around were cultivated, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population plummeted, and there were many idle fields, and the remaining ones, Liu Jun collected them as official fields, prepared military tuns, or rewarded meritorious subordinates.

Liu made a request to local officials to distribute seeds in time next spring, and every barren field must be green.

Commerce is an important part of economic prosperity, and commerce in the Han Dynasty was actually very developed, not only did trade between the north and the south frequently, with the Silk Road, foreign trade was also ahead of the world.

All the merchants who entered Shangyong were exempted from the original onerous taxes, so that many shops that had closed their doors were reopened, and the surrounding merchants also poured in, and Shangyong City became more and more prosperous day by day.
