After taking back Guannei Road and Shannan East Road, the Jia Dynasty temporarily stopped its expansion. Except for Qian Hua's navy exterminated pirates on the sea and Luo Shiji occasionally had conflicts with the barbarians who went south on Hedong Road, the rest of the places returned to peace. Even Zhou Bofu from Shannan East Road also wiped out all the bandits in the territory.

These people either surrendered to him, joined the Jiazhou army, went home to farm, or went to other places to seek a way out; or under the pressure of the army, the parcel was uprooted, the bandit leader was executed according to the law, and the followers were either punished with hard labor of varying years according to the crime, or released to their homes; of course, there were also some who refused to surrender and dared not resist stubbornly, so they had to escape from Shandong East Road with their men and horses and came to Qianzhong Road and Shannan West Road to continue their lives of robbery. Of course, it is hard to say how many of these people were real bandits and how many of them were Black Ice Platforms.

In order to avoid causing tension in Shuzhong, Zhou Bofu did not lead his men across the border to chase these people. Relying on the power of the Shuzhong army, he could not eliminate these elusive thieves. So these people calmly laid their feet in Shuzhong, which was a good life for a while.

Zhou Bofu's actions made Su Zican and others gradually relieved. Jiachao really seemed to have no intention of regaining Shuzhong immediately, so they gradually relaxed their vigilance and began to live a decadent life of banquets all day.

However, in the place they did not notice, Zhou Bofu and Zheng Feihuang were making nervous preparations to invade Shu. Zhou Bofu conducted high-load training on the local soldiers who had newly joined the Jiazhou Army, and soon trained these people in a very good manner. In addition to retaining their original mountain combat skills, discipline and mutual cooperation efficiency were greatly improved.

Zhou Bofu led his men to edit the essence of these mountain combat into a book, and then used the training of other soldiers. These old Jiazhou troops had extremely strong learning ability, and their physical fitness was far better than these recruits, so they quickly adapted to new combat methods and even came from behind and defeated the recruits in many practical exercises.

"In another one or two years, you can train more than 100,000 troops familiar with mountain combat skills. At that time, the natural danger in Shu will not be a problem for us." After a large-scale exercise, Zhou Bofu said to Zheng Feihuang who came to visit, and his words were quite proud.

"Haha, General Zhou is indeed worthy of being a famous general of the national dynasty. It seems that the commander of General Zhou will be the leader of the Sichuan city in the future!" Zheng Feihuang said with a laugh. Even though he was already a member of the Jia Dynasty, Zheng Feihuang still did not change the temperament of the merchant. His words were very sleek, which made Zhou Bofu very happy to hear it.

"As long as your majesty gives orders, Zhou will definitely be able to completely wipe out the three roads in Shu within one year!" Zhou Bofu did not hide his yearning for this position at all. Now Li You may not be personally conquering Shu. Among the remaining generals, Xu Guang has never been out easily. Qian Hua's navy is useless in Shu. Luo Shiji has to stare at Hedong Road, Shi Huaiyi guards the inner road, and Qin Shixin is relatively more familiar with cavalry tactics, so he becomes the best candidate for this task.

After talking about the army, the two talked about local government affairs again. If they want to march into Shu in the future, logistical supply is also important in addition to the army. Whether this can maintain smooth logistics depends on Zheng Feihuang. In addition to collecting enough civilians to transport food and grass to the army, he also needs to ensure that the road to Shandong East Road will be repaired before the army sets in.

Shandong East Road is mountainous and the roads are not very smooth. Most of the roads are small roads. There are even many places where they are plank roads chiseled on hanging rock cliffs. This obviously cannot support large-scale material transportation, especially in the Jiazhou army, there are also a large number of cannons. It is not easy for cannons to pass such a road? So if you want to march into Shu, you must first repair the roads in Shandong East Road.

"The food, money and labor and materials allocated by the court are sufficient. The people of Shandong Dongdao have a rare opportunity to earn money and grain, and labor is of course not a problem." In addition to the prisoners brought back from Guannei Road, the workers who needed to build the road also recruited many local people. The prisoners only needed to give food, and the people only needed to take a small amount of revenge in addition to eating and drinking. However, despite this, the people who came to work were still in a constant stream, because the lives of the people here were too difficult and there was nothing to do during the slack farming period. Even if they didn't pay, many people would join for the sake of the provincial ration.

However, there are not without troubles in the process of building roads. First of all, the road occupies other people's fields, houses, forests, etc. compensation is a huge problem. If ordinary people are better, as long as the price given by the court is fair, and then priority is given to their labor labor, it can be solved easily.

But those wealthy gentry with a slightly prestigious reputation are different. They often rely on their identities to ask the court for several times of compensation. If they were placed in the previous dynasty, their behavior would often succeed. If they added compensation to them, they would naturally fall on the people and use the compensation given to ordinary people to make up for this gap. However, it was different in the Jia Dynasty. It has always been the established policy of the Jia Dynasty. If they did not agree, they would let them taste the taste of national laws.

Of course, these people could not surrender easily, so repeated battles occurred between the court and the wealthy gentry. Thanks to the soldiers under Zhou Bofu and many capable workers sent by the court, they came forward to help, and Zheng Feihuang suppressed these unrests.

However, later, these wealthy gentry saw that they could not resist, so they changed their methods. "The road has been built to Pingzhou now, but according to the route surveyed by Zhou Zhengxin and Zhou Dajiang, they had to pass by the ancestral tomb of the Qiao family, the largest gentry in Pingzhou. The Qiao family refused to move the tomb no matter what. This was a trouble."

People at that time took great importance to the matter after death, especially for a large family like the Qiao family. It was not easy to convince them to move their ancestral graves? Moreover, Zheng Feihuang was not good at using tough measures for such matters, so he was quite troubled by this.

"Oh? You can't change the route?" Zhou Bofu asked.
