Chapter 153: Shu Zhong Right
Liu Bei did not celebrate wildly after Liu Yan's death and the first time Mianzhu surrendered.
Instead, he was diligent and dedicated to the affairs of the imperial court, and it took three or four days to deal with the aftermath of the relationship between all parties before he could continue to play music and dance.
After all, the process of completely pacifying Shu in this life is much smoother than that of another time and space, and Liu Bei does not have so much unhappiness in his heart, and he does not need to vent so urgently.
In the original history, Liu Bei spent three years to get Liu Zhang, and he fought in the city for a year, and Zhang Song and Pang Tong died in the process of starting a business. Now that there are no famous generals and strategists, the time has been shortened by a year, and there is also the holy decree of the first emperor to endorse the follow-up work of pacifying the people, and the mentality is much better.
In the past three days, on the first day, Liu Bei first sacrificed to those traitors who were killed by Liu Yan, held a small meeting to set the tone, and set them as "righteous men loyal to the court", so as to mourn after death, and it can be regarded as gathering and uniting the hearts of their classmates, distant relatives, and students who were still alive, and skillfully retreating all the hatred values to the dead Liu Yan.
Even, in order to show the generosity of Liu Bei's camp, Li Su suggested that those young students who had dropped out of school because of the killing of Du Wei and Du Qiong's brothers should be transferred to the newly established private school of Cai Yong in Jiangzhou to continue their studies.
Of course, it can't be Cai Yong who teaches it himself, at least it is also Cai Yong's student transfer, so as not to put these young students' academic seniority on an equal footing with Li Su - Li Su himself is just Cai Yong's disciple, if the new cat and dog can become Li Su's junior disciple, then it won't be messed up?
Coincidentally, since Cai Yong played the banner of courting Dong and Guan Yu actually sent troops into Jingzhou to obtain the foothold of Yidu County, the channels for Liu Bei's camp to recruit talented scribes have also been further broadened. After all, with the gradual destruction of Dong in the north and the Yin region in Henan by Dong Zhuo, more and more scholars were displaced to Jingzhou.
There is an outpost in Jingzhou to recruit people, and the efficiency is much higher.
Cai Yong casually wrote a few letters and invited the original students to Jingzhou to do things, and almost responded.
Gu Yong of Wu County, who had just become the county magistrate of Hefei the year before last, felt that it was still acceptable to be an official in Jingzhou after receiving the letter from his teacher, so he agreed to the invitation.
A few years ago, when Li Su was discussing the academic topic of "Prosperity and Blessing" with Cai Yongchu in Chen Liu, Gu Yong also happened to send his teacher back to his hometown. At that time, Li Su invited him to work for Liu Bei, but Gu Yong politely refused with "his parents are not far away", mainly because Youzhou was too far away.
For more than two years, as Li Su became the hottest celestial philosopher in the last years of Emperor Ling, Gu Yong also regretted it a little bit in his heart.
Now I find that I don't need to go to the bitter cold Youzhou to work for Liu Bei, as long as I go to Jingzhou next door, the water, soil and climate are not much different from Yangzhou, so why not do it. Anyway, he is not in his hometown of Wu County when he is the magistrate of Hefei, and 800 miles away from home is no different from 1,500 miles away from home.
Since Gu Yong was a regular county magistrate before Emperor Ling's death, Liu Bei recruited him to be of a lower grade, so he was appointed as a Yizhou student to engage in, first responsible for helping Cai Yong supervise all academic and political work, and then reuse it in a few years.
The students of Ren, Yang's side branch and Du Qiong all became Gu Yong's students for the time being, and Li Su's teacher and nephew were successfully united.
In addition to Gu Yong, Cai Yong also had a young man named Wang Cang, who had studied with him for a few months when he was in Luoyang and was quite appreciated by him. That Wang Cang's hometown is also from Shanyang County, Yanzhou, and he is the same township as Liu Biao, so after the chaos in the north, he instinctively ran to Jingzhou to avoid trouble.
But because Cai Yong in this life did not go to Chang'an, but went to Ba County and found a foothold in Jingzhou, Wang Cang didn't bother the two masters, and he was too lazy to vote for Liu Biao, so he went directly to Cai Yong to continue his studies.
Wang Cang didn't go out because he was still young, so Liu Bei didn't have to give him an official position. What's more, Wang Cang, Li Su, is not optimistic, knowing that he is only the seventh son of Jian'an, and the article is good, if you want to say that governing the country is not really learned. Let him study with Gu Yong and teach the teachers and nephews poetry and articles at the same time.
……
After condolences and arrangements for their students, the second thing Liu Bei did was to behead Dong Fu Manmen.
Dong Fu was the first to create the "Yizhou has a son of heaven" for Liu Yan, and no one would stop him from killing his whole family, so he didn't need to borrow Liu Yan's hand, Liu Bei could come generously by himself.
After the Dongfu people were killed, the third thing was to take advantage of the situation to check the hidden fields and hidden households in the three counties of the Chengdu Plain.
Good guy, don't really say it, I don't know if I don't check, I'm shocked when I check.
The people of the Yang clan who were killed alone hid more than 20,000 strong men in Pi County, with a total population of more than 70,000, so that they could be exempted from paying taxes and serving in the imperial court in previous years.
The Ren family, Du Qiong, and the Qian family combined, hid more than 30,000 strong men. The strongest Dong clan hid fifty or sixty thousand.
Taking Pixian County as an example, the hidden fields seized by the Yang family, their side branches, and henchmen in Pixian County, the base area, reached 2 million Han mu, accounting for a small half of the total cultivated land of 6 or 7 million Han mu in Pi County.
Coupled with the fact that the Yang family openly held nearly 2 million Han mu on their books, they actually owned two-thirds of the land in a county, half of which was hidden and half was made public, and the other one-third belonged to other landlords and yeoman farmers.
swept the four scholars of Shu Confucianism who were ranked before Chen Shi, and directly added taxes and servitude in several counties.
Liu Bei was also very satisfied, and directly took advantage of the complete end of the battle of Yizhou, and sealed and distributed the fields to his subordinates.
Li Su was changed by Liu Bei from the Marquis of Piting to the Marquis of Pixiang, and the number of households increased from 800 to 1,500. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both increased the fiefdom in equal proportions. However, the actual title will have to wait for the official recognition of the imperial court in the future.
After doing the above three things, Liu Bei can finally breathe a sigh of relief and temporarily enter a state of enjoying life.
After all, I have got so many benefits from fighting monsters and upgrading to kill (criminal) people to seize treasures, how can I be worthy of myself if I am not happy.
This is different from the original situation in history when Zhao Yun dissuaded him from "not dividing the Yizhou scholars' field houses", so even if he was as honest as Zhao Yun, he didn't open his mouth to stop Liu Bei, Zhao Yun just didn't want to add any fiefdoms himself.
……
On the sixth day of the lunar month, on the third night after the recovery of Mianzhu, Liu Bei held a banquet in Chengdu's Xinzhou Pastoral Mansion, and danced and played well, so that all the heroes celebrated their efforts in the past two years, and finally ushered in the final victory.
"Come, play music and dance, no one will be drunk tonight! No one is drunk enough to fall off this table! It's a pity that Yun Chang is still in Jingzhou, and he can't rejoice with us today, Yide, you have to drink Yun Chang's share! ”
Liu Bei was obviously a little drunk, and he was talking about the case, and the silver plate on the case jumped up, until the soup in the small copper hot pot splashed on his face, and he realized that today's table was different from previous years, and he couldn't shoot so much anymore.
Unexpectedly, so many things were confiscated, and his excitement could hardly be suppressed.
"Big brother, don't worry! I'll drink it for the second brother! Zhang Fei agreed to this task very boldly, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
However, as a heroic man on the side of the herdsman, he still has to talk about something serious after drinking too much.
Just as Shengdou Xiaomin likes to point out the country when they drink, men's desire for power cannot be contained, and chatting with the general trend is not called work, does not affect leisure, and even is leisure itself.
Liu Bei ate the rabbit shabu, and asked Li Su, who was sitting first on the left-hand side: "Boya, now Yizhou is flat, but the Han family is still declining, Dong thieves steal their lives, and the lord is covered with dust." Lonely wants to believe in righteousness in the world, but there were originally chariot generals who repeatedly stopped him.
But I heard that recently, Huangfu Song was really imprisoned by Dong Zhuo for questioning, and it was only because his son Huangfu Jianshou abandoned his official position and went to Beijing to ask for forgiveness, so he was demoted to a commoner and returned to his hometown. In addition, Zhang Wen, who was Dong Zhuo's boss before Huangfu Song, was also killed by Dong Zhuo under the pretext of being killed.
Dong Thief is so tyrannical, killing or degrading the former benefactor and boss, the situation is obviously not the state when Huangfu Song stopped us in the first place. After the year, I want to raise troops to fight against thieves, and the king will be out? ”
Li Su put down the silver chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "Brother wants to believe in righteousness in the world, and the heart of the Han family can be seen from the sun and the moon." However, Emperor Fu Song has been swept away by Dong Zhuo, and the opportunity for our army to go north out of Qinchuan has also been lost.
The road to Shu is difficult, and the transfer is wasteful, so it is necessary to surprise the enemy and hit it with one blow. If we advance every year, but instead make the enemy vigilant and well-guarded, there will be no chance. Please also ask my brother to focus on letting Yun Chang lead the division to follow Sun Jian to discuss Dong for the time being, so as to show the ambition of our army. If the army of the chief of the clouds lacks iron cavalry and is defeated by the Xiliang army, Zilong can be asked to open spring and allocate thousands of cavalry to help in the battle.
Dong Zhuo has migrated the people of Yin in Henan to Guanzhong, and Luoyang will be abandoned sooner or later, and the road is also very dangerous, and it is difficult to attack Chang'an from Henan Yin, and the five countries of Kwantung jointly attacked Qin in the past. Our army can only wait for changes in the pass, and then highlight the strange soldiers and lead the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan, who dare to eat pot pulp to welcome the king. ”
Liu Bei didn't want to immediately shift all his attention to courting Dong, and Huangfu Song's admonition that "the Han clan relatives should avoid suspicion when discussing Dong" is still in his ears.
The reason why Liu Bei asked this question was mainly to pave the way for his statement, after all, after Liu Yan was finished, the task assigned to him by the imperial court had been completely completed, and he was now in an empty and confused state of "no NPC can receive the task".
After all, in the four years of Zhongping, since he got acquainted with Li Su, it has been almost four years since everyone started a business together, and there has always been a task issued by the imperial court above, and he is not used to finding tasks by himself.
And it is absolutely impossible for Liu Bei to take the initiative to raise an unknown army to take away other people's inheritance, unless it is Li Sulai who is a war maniac to persuade him to go to war.
Liu Bei took a sip and sighed: "Dong Zhuo really can't be eliminated suddenly, you have to wait for a change in the pass." So what about our army next? On governing the locality, training the troops and storing food? Should the plan be limited to one year, or two or three years? ”
Li Su: "What's wrong with cultivating politics in the interior and Fu Manyue in the south?" In the past, Gaozu Baoguanzhong, Guangwu based on Hanoi, are deeply rooted in order to control the world. Although Yizhou is now peaceful, the actual control of our army is nothing more than the three counties of Hanzhong, Ba County, and Chengdu Plain.
And the counties in Nanzhong still canonized the 'state pastor' with his brother not as the imperial court, but only as the 'assassin history', although they did not rebel, they did not listen to the dispatch. It happened to take advantage of the period when there was no change in Guanzhong, and used both suppression and appeasement, supplemented by education, trade and other strategies, so that the Han barbarian army and people were all used by me. ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he interrupted: "Do you want to use soldiers?" Or a year off from the people? ”
Li Su: "This is not a contradiction, even if the army will be used next year, it will not prevent the rest with the people." ”
Liu Beiqi said: "Oh? Why is that? ”
Li Su: "The land in the south is very hot, and there is miasma. The miasma in the beginning of spring is particularly serious, so even if you want to use soldiers, you can let the people cultivate and industry with peace of mind next year, and after the autumn harvest, you can use soldiers in the winter, and you must defend the troops before February of the following year. ”
Liu Bei: "It turns out that the land in Nanzhong is actually a winter agricultural idle soldier? It's a lot more convenient. Even so, there is no need to think too much, anyway, before the autumn harvest next year, you just need to sort out the internal affairs. ”
