In fact, the word "fake" has to be added in front of Heifu's yang order, that is, the temporary county magistrate.

The efficiency of the Qin state was very high, and the military conquest was often accompanied by the setting of new counties,

After Pingjingdi became a county, four counties were set up in the Huaibei region, and Jiujiang County was established in the Huainan region. In the plan of the King of Qin and his ministers, the territory of this county is very large, not only including the entire southern land of Chuhuai, but even across the river and Peng Lize, to Fanyang.

However, because a large number of officials were arranged to take up posts in Huainan counties, Jiujiang County could not find a suitable candidate to take up the post in Fanyang for a while, so according to the usual practice, appointed Heifu who conquered this place as a false order, and in the next few months, Fanyang was under military control.

Therefore, Heifu's fake Fanyang Order has surprisingly great power, not only has the civil power of the general county order, but even he can manage the judiciary, not to mention military affairs, Heifu is still the other division of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and continues to obey Li You's dispatch militarily.

"So my authority is the three-in-one of the county order, the county lieutenant, and the county officer."

Heifu played with the black ribbon copper seal, and sighed: "I won't change a real order for this fake order!" ”

The officials laughed, of course this is Heifu joking, if he guesses correctly, when the southern expedition is over, his fake order will be done.

Heifu looked at Ji Ying, who had made a trip to Jiujiang County for him: "Tell everyone about the news you will hear over there." ”

"I heard that Xiong Qi, who pretended to be the king of Chu, is dead!" As soon as Ji Ying opened his mouth, he brought a big news to everyone.

It turned out that in November and December, almost at the same time as Li You's attack on Changsha and Heifu's Peng Li, Wang Jian and Meng Wu also joined Tu Sui's division of Lou Chuan, ate the grain of Nanjun, built a pontoon bridge to cross the river, and began to attack Jiangdong, the last resistance of the Chu State.

Wang Qian's offensive was rapid, with Yi against baht, the remnants of Chu were defeated and retreated, and the last Chu king Xiong Qi also died in Danyang.

Now, the Qin army has begun to attack Gusu, which may be the last fortress of the remnants of Jingchu......

This is the last news that Ji Ying heard, maybe now, the Qin army has conquered Gusu and taken all the land of Wu.

Heifu said to everyone: "General Wang Lao has decided Jiangdong, and we must also go south as soon as possible, capture Shangjiang, and bring Ganshui under the rule of Qin officials from beginning to end!" ”

For him, Fanyang is not the end, but the beginning.

Unlike Pengze, it has a long history, and during the Spring and Autumn Period three hundred years ago, the Chu State established a city here and began to settle and govern. Nowadays, Fanyang is seven miles outside Guo and two miles in the inner city, with many Chu people and thousands of households, which is the largest city in Jiangxi at present.

As a local, Xu Shu, who is good at drawing strategies, analyzed Heifu: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Chu repeatedly fought for this city, why not? The wide valley and the big river here, when the intersection of Wu and Chu, is far from the river in the north, separated by a heavy lake in the west, and the soldiers fight in and out, often for the hole. Moreover, along the Fanshui to the east, it is the source of Zhejiang, and it can go down the river to Huiji. Go south to the remaining dry water, cross the mountains, it is Ouyue, Fujian Yue...... Therefore, Fanyang is the top priority of Yuzhang. ”

Heifu has some interest in these two places, which should be Wenzhou and Fujian in the later generations, which are currently ruled by the Yue people. Xu Shu also said that the current Yue people are the kings, and after claiming to be the king of Yue, Goujian, in addition to Minyue Ouyue, even the Yangyue Mei clan in the upper reaches of the Ganshui River is the same.

That was the only way for Heifu to go south, but before he could go, he had to stabilize Fanyang first.

The next day, Heifu asked Lixian and Xu Shu to meet him at different times and asked them about the strategy of stabilizing Fanyang.

The opinions of the two are surprisingly similar: the government of the king, don't be in a hurry to thieves! Those remnants of Fanyang Jun and Ejun escaped into the mountains and forests, bent on avenging the second monarch, in the eyes of Qin officials, they have become thieves, and they should be killed and destroyed.

According to the authority he has, Heifu appointed 500 lords to be the thief Cao Peng, with 500 people, responsible for the security of Fanyang, and went into the mountains and forests of the township every three or five to sweep them.

After the "thieves" are apprehended, the second thing is to re-establish order.

In this matter, Liham and Xu Shu had a disagreement.

Lixian believed that the Qin state's legal system should be moved to Fanyang as it was, and military judges from Anlu should be appointed as prison guards to enforce the rule of law among the people.

Xu Shu thinks that there is no need to be like this.

"Sima Chu got Fanyang, people's hearts are undecided, you can't suddenly bring Qin law to justice, Chu State Fengjun does not preach to the people on weekdays, Qin law is strict and brutal, if the pressure is too tight, it will make the people resentful, and even assist the thieves."

Although Heifu wanted to move the famous "Three Chapters of the Law" to Fanyang, he dared to use the gold produced by gold mining as military expenses, but he did not dare to fight the idea of law.

For the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period, the instrument is a symbolic ritual instrument such as the Ding Gui chime, and for the Qin State, the Qin law is the national weapon, and those who change it will be punished the most severely......

Heifu didn't dare to mess around, and after thinking about it, he took Xu Shu's opinion and announced that before the county Cheng Lai appointed by Jiujiang County took office, everything in Fanyang would be governed according to the old customs. In this way, there was no crossing of the line, and it could be regarded as a concession to the local tyrants, so that they were willing to cooperate with the Qin army.

Heifu also released some of the subordinate soldiers of Fanyang Jun who were willing to naturalize, and after they returned home to preach the "benevolence" of the Qin army, the people of Fanyang Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense and solemn atmosphere in the city was also relaxed a little.

After doing this, it was already mid-January, and the Heixian Commander was busy asking Xu Shu and Lixian to go down to arrange spring ploughing.

When it comes to this year's food, even though the Chu people still resist the rule, they don't dare to delay, and Heifu has seen the farming method in the Jiangnan area: "fire cultivation and water rake".

The so-called "fire farming", that is, the commonly referred to as "slash-and-burn farming", Heifu found that farmers inside and outside the city did not plant the fields of previous years, but went to the mountains and forests far away from the city and set a lot of fire.

The thatch and shrubs on the hillside were burned to make fertilizer with the ash left, and then the dryland crops were sown millet and soybean, which the locals called "burning".

In addition to the dry land, there were many paddy fields along the Fanshui coast, and rice was grown, and Liham went to inspect it, and when he returned, he described to Heifu what he saw.

"In Nanjun, farmers use oxen to plough rice, but in this Yang, no one knows what ox ploughing is. Not to mention the common people, even the nobles and nobles don't know anything, and they often kill cattle to eat on weekdays. ”

"The rice planted by the whole family is barefoot in the paddy field, stepping on the weeds, this so-called water rake ......"

After such a comparison, Heifu discovered that the Qin State was really paranoid in promoting advanced production methods, and even in the most remote villages, they could more or less learn techniques such as ox plowing and composting from Tian Dian.

The state of Chu is different, the orders of the king of Chu cannot control the border feudal monarchs, and most of the feudal monarchs are ignorant and short-sighted, which leads to the vast south of the Yangtze River, and there is almost no cattle ploughing.

"Lixian, what do you think I will do if I promote cattle farming and composting here?" Haif asked Lesalt.

But Lixian felt that it would be difficult: "The land south of the Yangtze River is vast and sparsely populated, rich in products, and the climate here is hot, with two crops a year, so farmers are also lazy, sowing seeds everywhere, and cultivating casually, they can also mix a full meal, even if there is a famine, they can also eat fruits and fish clams from the mountains and forests." ”

"Therefore, intensive farming techniques such as cattle ploughing and composting, even if they are forcibly promoted, it is difficult to achieve results in a short period of time, unless they are brought to justice by the laws of the Qin State, so that they have to be cultivated."

He said this favorably, and Heifu nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then these civil affairs should be slowly implemented when the war is over and the real officials arrive." ”

Heifu didn't want to waste any more time, just don't let there be a famine this year.

In late January, Heifu had already asked Lixian to loot and raise thousands of stones of grain and grass, ready to set off again, and his request to let Ji Ying send it to Jiujiang County again at the beginning of the month was also replied......

On the last day of January, Heifu gathered his men again, and under the expectant gaze of everyone, he took out a stack of letters approved by Jiujiang County.

This is the last thing Heifu has to do, select the men who will go south with him, and arrange the personnel who will stay behind.

"The five hundred lord Zhao Tuo is also Peng Ze's fake tour, responsible for the defense of the entire Peng Lize, and Xiao Tao will go south with me."

"Anpu continues to serve as the thief Cao Peng of Fanyang, and is responsible for local security."

"Wuyang is the gold mining supervisor, and he is shocked to be the prisoner."

After arranging these people, Heifu still needs a person who can take charge of himself, can not only handle government affairs, but also calm Fanyang, and can flexibly handle the relationship with Yu Ganyueren.

Everyone fell silent, and they could guess that this person should be among Xu Shu and Lixian.

Li Xian was a little apprehensive in his heart, since Xu Shu became Heifu's staff, Heifu mostly adopted his opinions, for example, a few days ago, Heifu asked the two how to stabilize the order of Fanyang, Lixian advocated copying Qin Law, but Heifu finally used Xu Shu's policy of governing people according to customs.

This gave Lexian a great sense of crisis, for fear that his place would be replaced.

He's even ready for that.

So, when Heifu handed over the book to him, Leham was a little stunned.

"Lixian is a false lieutenant in Fanyang, ...... than four hundred stones"

Heifu stuffed the yellow ribbon copper seal issued by Jiujiang County into Lixian's hand, and said solemnly: "When I am not there, Fanyang City will depend on you to rectify, don't be harsh, be careful to deal with all parties, and before the arrival of the new officials of Jiujiang County, there must be no mistakes!" If you make a mistake, I, as the Lord of the Lord, will be punished. ”

After talking about official business, the next thing is a private matter, Heifu put away his sternness, smiled, patted Lixian on the shoulder and said: "Although there is a fake word, it is still a county lieutenant, congratulations, Li County Lieutenant, you don't have to wait for ten or twenty years later, your ambition has been realized!" ”

"You're now in the same place I once was!"

"Congratulations to County Lieutenant Leigh." Dongmen Leopard and others followed to congratulate him and were happy for Lixian.

Liham let them push, looking at the book and the seal ribbon in his hand, a little incredulous.

Was this Heifu's trust in him, or was it a helpless move to appease the old ministry?

In normal times, Leham would have thought for a long time, but this time, his mind was blank.

That's right, this time Hefu used himself as a guarantor, recommended Leham, and became his leader.

This relationship is far beyond the ordinary superiors and subordinates.

In the past, although Lexian was Heifu's most relied on subordinate, he had never felt that he owed Heifu a life like Dongmen Leopard and Gongao, and at most he was a little grateful for his kindness, and actively worked for Heifu, wanting to hug this thigh.

But now, he had the idea of dying for Heifu in his heart......

After the group had gone, Leham bowed down to the black man and slammed his head to the ground.

"If there is no Sima to recommend to Jiujiang County, how can Lixian become a false lieutenant? This kindness, Lixian will never forget! The descendants of Xian dare not forget! ”

Heifu just helped him up and smiled, "What do you call me?" ”

Lixian raised his head a little dazedly, Heifu has a bit of an official rank now, what should he be called, Sima? Magistrate?

But the next moment, it dawned on him, and he paused again, and in a voice that only the two of them could hear, he praised the black man sincerely:

"Lord!"
