Yuan Shu became the emperor, and this was a rare period of stable development.

The Four Kingdoms, or to be precise, the Five Kingdoms have just undergone changes, or they are called emperors or kings or..., except for the Yan Kingdom established by Gongsun Zhan and the Zhao Kingdom established by Yuan Shao, the Central Plains and the South are extremely calm. Yuan, Cao, and Liu were all consolidating their forces, calming the hearts of the people, recruiting soldiers, and developing internal affairs.

Taking advantage of the matter of becoming emperor, Yuan Shu began to expand the recruitment and selection of soldiers and reforms. With the help of the large amount of money and grain accumulated by the prosperity of Jiangdong in recent years, as well as the talents cultivated by large and small academies, he began to build academies in various places again, and completely relaxed the restrictions on paper and printing, and engraved a large number of books, reducing the economic pressure of the people under his command to study.

At the same time, the imperial examination selection system, which had been implemented within the academy and had not been put on the surface, was also completely pushed to the surface by Yuan Shu, replacing the filial piety of the Han Dynasty. And vigorously cultivate hundreds of schools to develop their own schools, establish their own unique academies, and join the construction of the Chu State in various forms.

The most important thing is that Yuan Shu greatly improved the treatment and status of craftsmen and merchants, and basically ranked them with farmers, rather than the previous Shinong industry and commerce. Yuan Shu also organized the top craftsmen and physicians of the Chu State together, and established the Jinling Academy of Sciences and the Jinling Medical College respectively, which were placed alongside the Jinling Academy.

As for the others, there are agricultural colleges, forestry colleges, water conservancy colleges, etc., which were built by hundreds of schools of thought under the support of Yuan Shu, and dozens of colleges have been established in Jinling. Fortunately, when Yuan Shu planned to build Jinling City, he deliberately set its scale to be very large, and it could easily accommodate so many colleges.

Yuan Shu's actions naturally caused the shock of countless people, and also caused the dissatisfaction of many families. But soon they were diverted by another matter promulgated by Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu began to send people to contact the countries in the southeast and western regions of Yizhou, to count the geographical size, land, grain, and population of these countries, and to replace the Han Dynasty to bring these small countries under his command as vassal states. Of course, this is only on the surface, and secretly the news given by Yuan Shu is to share the cake.

The king of the vassal state needs to be recognized and enthroned by Great Chu, and Yuan Shu promised that he would generally not interfere in its internal affairs, but there are still many small countries that either do not believe or are arrogant, and are not happy to do so, and refuse to be enthroned by Great Chu.

After all, although the Han Dynasty was strong back then, time has passed, and the Han Dynasty has not paid attention to these small countries for a long time, and the two sides have basically not interacted with each other for so many years. Many of these small states have died out and been divided, occupied or replaced by other countries, and most of the impressions of the Han Dynasty are only in some records of the country, and they do not know much about it. What's more, Yuan Shu established the state of Chu, not the Han Dynasty, and some people naturally had other thoughts in their hearts, after all, no one was like their own country that was mixed with others at will and became a puppet controlled by others.

Moreover, among the many small countries in the southwest of Yizhou, the ones that still have an impression of the Han are those that are close to Yizhou, and the Han has never been to the outer places further south. Yuan Shu knew that it was a large piece of land, and the small countries and big men on it had never been in contact with it at all, and all connections needed to be established by Yuan Shu from scratch.

Most of the small countries are unwilling to belong to Great Chu, so Yuan Shu naturally wants to make a move.

Tai Shici, the general who led 30,000 elite barbarians and had just been transferred from Sili by Yuan Shu, Zhang Ren, the general of Pingnan who led the elite of Wanyizhou, Meng Hu, the general of Annan, who led 20,000 barbarian soldiers, Yan Yan, the general of Anyi, who led 10,000 soldiers of Yizhou, and the general Wu Tumeng, who led 10,000 barbarian soldiers, all Chen soldiers were on the border of Yizhou. You can attack at any time to pacify these disobedient "little brothers".

In Liangzhou, in addition to the Zhenxi general Ma Teng, who led 30,000 iron cavalry to defend Wuwei, the Anxi general Li Dao who led the Flying Bear Army and the 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, and the capture general Guo Yan, and the champion general Ma Chao, the Huya general Zhang Xiu, and the Zhenjun general Pang De, who each led 10,000 iron cavalry, had already sharpened their knives.

However, Yuan Shu is now recuperating, and the intelligence work and preparations have not yet been completed, and he does not plan to send troops to attack within half a year. And within half a year, it is Yuan Shu that gives the family room to play.

No matter what method is used, as long as they do not violate Yuan Shu's bottom line, do not contact foreign enemies, and do not betray the country to seek glory, if these families can occupy or secretly control these disobedient small countries and submit to the Great Chu, Yuan Shu can divide them with him and recognize his identity as the lord of a country.

What does this equal to? This is tantamount to sealing the country! And it is a dignified and justifiable feudal country. You must know that the area in the southwest of Yizhou is not under Yangzhou at all, it is extremely vast and there are many small countries. To deal with these small foreign countries with backward civilization and backward production, aren't these families with deep roots, many talents, and ruthless methods at their fingertips?

With such a major event as the sealing of the country, which is related to the thousand-year-old inheritance, who still has the kung fu to do such a thankless thing as disobeying Yuan Shu when Yuan Shu's power is at its peak? Now the general trend lies in Yuan Shu and Da Chu, even if they join forces, they will not be able to stop Yuan Shu's behavior, at most they will add to the blockage and create some trouble. But since Yuan Shu had already made concessions and given enough benefits, what reason did they have to ask for their own hardships? Anyway, Da Chu is no longer something that these families can control, whether they lose both with Yuan Shu, or seize the opportunity to fight for the feudal country, between the two, everyone will choose the latter.

Although Yuan Shu acted domineeringly, he would never let those who were obedient to him suffer, and the benefits of sealing the country far exceeded those petty profits. The reason why these families have been able to survive under Yuan Shu until now, and they are living so nourishingly, is because they are "smart". knows what it means to accept when you see it, not like the arrogance and insatiable greed of those families who disappeared by Yuan Shu. They naturally know what they should choose now.

A slap and a sweet date, not to mention how slippery Yuan Shu's hand is. After all, Yuan Shu has been used to doing this kind of thing, and the families are also used to being beaten, and the two sides are naturally in harmony. Yuan Shu's series of reforms were basically carried out smoothly without resistance, while Yizhou and Liangzhou began to be crazy and lively.

There are many families, and many problems can be solved by the way. For example, road construction issues, diplomatic issues, and commercial issues from Yizhou to neighboring small countries. Another example is the construction of Liangzhou, the trading of war horses, the opening of pastures, and the purchase of cattle and sheep of different races in the surrounding areas.

These families are busy with their own fiefdom affairs, under the guidance of Yuan Shu, they do some side jobs by the way, solve some of their own problems or make some livelihoods, Yuan Shu and the family businessmen are basically a win-win situation, and they are happy to take what they need. Of course, Yuan Shu naturally made a lot of money.

For Yuan Shu, the solution of the problems of the southwestern states of Yizhou and the Western Regions is not only to promote commercial development and improve the living standards of the people, but also to use the power of the family to stabilize these areas, make them an iron plate, stabilize the situation, and lay the foundation for Yuan Shu's mobilization of troops against Guishan in the future.

These families were basically sold by Yuan Shu and were still counting the money for Yuan Shu, after all, these fiefs they captured would definitely be exchanged by Yuan Shu for bigger painting cakes in the future. However, these families are basically willing, and even extremely grateful to Yuan Shu, who regards him as a guiding light for the prosperity of the family. It's really Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. For these families, since they can't resist, let's enjoy it silently, sometimes it's cool to think about being like this.
