Xu Shu left Lantai in the evening and went to the Imperial History Observatory to sit on duty, reviewing and signing the official documents accumulated in the Imperial History Observatory during the day.

At this time, Jiang Wan came to visit, and in front of Xu Shu, Jiang Wan was a junior after all.

In the generation of young scholars in Jingzhou back then, there were five people who took the lead, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xi Zhen, Ma Liang, and Liao Li, and Jiang Wan and Yang Yi couldn't squeeze into this team.

Whether it is the friendship between Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang, or the friendship with the scholars of Jingzhou, or the relationship with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals, it is not comparable to Jiang Wan.

Now Jiang Wan is on behalf of Shang Shutai to predict Xu Shu in advance, so that Xu Shu can be mentally prepared.

As for the vacant position of Yushi Zhongcheng...... There is no statement that Xu Shu identified the best candidate, and even Guan Yu cannot be arbitrary about this candidate, according to seniority, the best suitable candidate is Liao Li.

Unless Liao Li refuses repeatedly, no one will be able to sit in this position.

Jiang Wan congratulated him in advance, and his tone was melancholy: "Duke Song knows the mind of Yuan Zhigong, and now he has fulfilled it through the excuse, although the servant is happy that Yuan Zhigong can use force, he feels deeply weak. can represent the Yuan Zhigong, Liao Gongyuan also, this Gongyuan ...... Alas. ”

When it comes to Liao Li, a fellow countryman and old friend in Xiangzhou, Jiang Wan really has nothing to say.

Liao Li has been unreasonable in the past two years, inciting the sentiments of the township party, creating Jingxiang antagonism, and splitting the good Jingzhou group.

However, he is Pan Jun's cousin, and many Xiangzhou scholars deliberately stay away from themselves, so that they have no way to influence Xiangzhou scholars.

As a Lingling person, Jiang Wan can probably understand the plans of the Xiangzhou scholars, and he is close to Beifu in terms of military and economy, and is unwilling to leave.

Then, when Jingzhou was complete, the economic and cultural center of gravity was in Nanyang and Jiangling, and Xiangyang rose in the Liu Biao period, which was all in Jiangbei.

Before Liu Biao, Nanyang was the emperor's township, with a population of more than 2 million, no matter how good it was, no one in Jingnan dared to disagree; Jiangling is also on the edge of the Yangtze River, and Jingbei and Jingnan are all within the radiation range of Jiangling, which has a role in bridging and accelerating the exchange between Jingnan and Jingbei.

But during the rise of Xiangyang during the Liu Biao period, the distance between Jingzhou Prefecture and Jingnan at this time was far away, and the people of Jingnan changed from neighbors to countrymen, and then competed with Zhang Xian and Liu Biao, and the gap between Jingnan and Jingbei became more and more obvious.

At that time, it was the battle of Guandu, Zhang Xian supported Cao Cao, and took the four counties of Jingnan to split with Liu Yuan, Liu Biao had no time to worry about the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, so he could only attack Zhang Xian first.

The four counties of Jingnan were united around Zhang Xian, and Liu Biao was unable to take it at the beginning until Zhang Xian died of illness, and the four counties of Jingnan supported his son to continue to resist, and then was pacified by objections.

The contradiction between Jingnan and Jingbei has a long history, and the division into two states is also in line with the trend of geography, economy, and people's hearts.

For the so-called theory of Greater Jingzhou, the people of Xiangzhou in the four counties of Jingnan seriously lack a sense of substitution, and therefore do not have a sense of ownership in the construction of Greater Jingzhou.

Up to now, the people of Xiangzhou are greedy for the treatment of scholars in Jingzhou, and they do not want to be reincorporated into Jingzhou and then under the control of the people of Jingzhou in Jiangbei.

So he followed Liao Li to confront the imperial court, fought for everything, and refused to suffer any loss.

In the past two years, I have not eaten the iron fist of the imperial court, but due to the collapse of the wheat city industry, some industries and technologies have moved into Xiangzhou, so that the people of Xiangzhou have enjoyed many benefits. As a result, the competition with the imperial court and Jingzhou became more and more intense, just like a hawker in the market, he cared about everything, had no overall situation, and only cared about his own gains and losses.

Now that Liao Lilai has taken the place left by Xu Shu, the people of Xiangzhou are still dancing and getting carried away?

In particular, resisting and refusing to accept Zhibai Qian was the first activity initiated by Xiangzhou businessmen, and the goods transported to Jiangdu by Xiangzhou and Lingnan would rather run more and sell them to Nanyang than accept Jiangdu's Zhibai Yuan.

Now the people who hate Xiangzhou the most are the people of Yizhou, the people of Yizhou have saved too much money at home, and they could have circulated it a little bit, but the new five-baht money has not come out, and the people of Xiangzhou refuse to accept the direct 100 money, and the people of Yizhou must not die?

Jiangdu is currently the largest trading city in the world, and too many Yizhou people bring Zhibai Qian to Jiangdu to buy Lingnan gems, corals, pearls, ivory, spices, tortoiseshell and so on, in order to maintain the value of Zhibai Qian to avoid the collapse of Zhibaiqian.

However, it is a pity that the businessmen in Xiangzhou and Lingnan refuse to accept Zhibai money, do they have to order that these people are not allowed to refuse to accept it?

You can give such an order to intimidate the people, but you can't intimidate the merchants who hold luxury goods and valuables, holding treasures in their hands, and doing business that has been open for three years.

If you dare to order the compulsory circulation of 100 coins, these people will dare to put the valuables in their hands at a premium of 100 times!

Valuables, how much is the specific amount, each person's evaluation and measurement standards are different, and they can't be forced to buy and sell, so there is no way to solve it.

Jiang Wan expressed his worries, if he could, he really wanted to strangle Liao Li to death, which was simply a scourge.

The Jingnan Shi clan, which was obviously scattered, was simply united by Liao Li; The last time the person who unified the Jingnan Shi clan was called Zhang Xian, Zhang Xian of the Zhang clan in Nieyang, Nanyang County, the word Zhongjing.

On the contrary, it is himself, who is caught in the middle, and it is more and more difficult to be a person.

What's worse is that Xu Shu was transferred to serve as a feudal official, and Liao Li, the scourge, would enter the court to take charge of the imperial history platform.

Liao Li is more difficult to deal with than Li Yan, who focuses on porcelain and winemaking in his spare time, and lacks enthusiasm for ganging up and doing things. This is also due to Li Yan's character, a pretentious person who doesn't like to be in a group with others.

But Liao Li is different, this thief likes the big scene of the front and back, and now he is in charge of compiling books and is a good teacher, and he has gathered many scholars and children around him with his protégé relationship.

said that Liao Li's promotion of private learning violated the relevant prohibitions of the imperial court?

It's not right, these scholars who are around Liao Li are also responsible for transcribing materials and assisting in the compilation work.

In short, as soon as Liao Li comes, he will definitely bring a group of people, who has few in-laws and friends among the children of these scholars? Who didn't have a few good friends?

Hardly thinking about it, he also knew that Liao Li would take these people to take office, and he would immediately be able to gather a group of people in Jiangdu and form a very difficult and wide-ranging party followers.

Compared with the upcoming Liao Li, when Li Yan was the governor of Jiangdu, he did not take the initiative to engage in friction...... It's so rare.

Jiang Wan expressed his concern here, but Xu Shu did not react, this is not something he can control and restrict, nor should he take care of it.

The important thing now is to make up for the position left by Ma Liang, clean up the mess, and stabilize the situation in the four Kanto states with Zhang Fei.

Wait for the opportunity to launch a war of annihilation against the Wei State.

In terms of hatred for the Wei State, Xu Shu is also very big, and it is a long-cherished wish to go to the front line to supervise the soldiers.

This trip to Yanzhou is related to repaying the kindness of the first emperor, and it is also related to personal enmity...... How can you give up?

No matter what Jiang Wan said, Xu Shu didn't react, he couldn't be moved by words, Jiang Wan had to give up.

When he came, Yu Gong was to test Xu Shu's tone, and Yu Private wanted to persuade Xu Shu to refuse to be released and not give Liao Li a chance to return to Jiangdu.

Xu Shu refused to be released, and the edict had not yet been announced, and it could still be withdrawn.

It's a pity that Xu Shu and Wei have a ...... The big one can be said to be incompatible.
