Liu Cong made such a request, in fact, it also made Zhuge Liang very contradictory, first, he did rely on his wife in many ways, but he couldn't put his mind to leave his father-in-law alone in Xiangyang, so he looked at Huang Chengyan in embarrassment. Huang Yueying also looked at Huang Chengyan with the same expression.

Huang Chengyan smiled heartily: "Go, don't worry about the old man, the old man will go to Pang Degong and Mr. Shui Jing when he is free." Although the second son has great talents, but his qualifications are still shallow, you two are a little older, you should be cautious and think twice when you encounter things, and do your best, the old man will have no regrets. ”

"Cong'er thanked her uncle, Cong'er will definitely let her cousin and brother-in-law go back to Xiangyang to visit you when they are free, if your uncle is worried about her cousin, you can also move to Jiangling to live together."

"Thank you for your heart, let's talk about this later!"

Seeing Huang Chengyan's promise, Zhuge Liang was also relieved, and smiled at Huang Yueying, this matter is settled.

When he left Jiangling, there were four people, and when he came back, there were two women, and there were two more famous generals, one writer and one martial arts, which made Liu Cong gradually find a feeling of being a prince in this war-torn era.

The southern county under Wu Ju's rule is not to say that it is in ruins, and it is not possible to talk about making great efforts. If it is just to be comfortable and do a good job in a county, Liu Congwen has Zhuge Liang, Liu Ba, Li Yan, Zhang Bo and others, and Wu has Wenpin, Gan Ning, and Wei Yan, it should be easier.

But Liu Cong's goal is not only to stick to a county, nor to stick to Jingzhou, like Zhuge Liang, his ambition is to unify China.

To put it bluntly, in order to successfully transform from a municipality directly under the central government to a warlord of one side and even a king who dominates the world of China, manpower and material resources are indispensable. When Liu Cong was in the Long squadron, Zhuge Liang said that he would not wait for me, and he was by no means alarmist. Liu Cong set out to conquer Zigui in early February, and then attacked Wu Ju. When I returned to Xiangyang to invite Zhuge and returned to Jiangling City again, it was already the end of March, and in March of the tenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao would have to march south in three years, or even earlier. The time left for Liu Cong, Zhuge Liang and others is indeed limited.

Therefore, after returning to Jiangling, Liu Cong successively assigned tasks to you, and Zhuge Liang naturally became the commander of Nanjun County, responsible for handling government affairs. Wen Ping was the commander of the soldiers and horses of Nanjun for the long history, and Gan Ning and Wei Yan were the leaders of the Changshi Sima each. Wei Yan was in charge of the infantry battalion, and Gan Ning was in charge of the Jianshui division battalion. Liu Ba is the pawn farmer and is responsible for the tuntian of the whole county. Zhang Bo was appointed as a county magistrate of a public security county that does not exist on the other side of the Yangtze River, and it must begin to take shape within a year!

That's right, these were not conceived by Liu Cong alone, but discussed with Zhuge Liang for several days, and then convened Wen Ping, Liu Ba, Zhang Bo and other talents to finally agree. The so-called soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, Liu Cong must have a large enough army if he wants to make a difference, and the grain and grass must be prepared before the army.

As for the military system, Liu Cong decided to carry out the conscription system and the world military system at the same time.

The so-called world military system is to separate the household registration of military households from civilian households, and the special military households are inherited by the father after the death of the son, and the brother forgets the younger brother. In order to better implement the world soldier system and master the army's world soldiers, the public security county that Zhang Bo wants to build is to prepare for the special placement of soldiers' families. The unified management of these family members is not only convenient for control, but also convenient for raising.

Liu Cong remembered that when Cao Cao was still the pastor of Yanzhou, Mao Jue, who was engaged in governance, put forward two important suggestions: one is to serve the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, that is, to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Second, it is necessary to cultivate and cultivate to accumulate military funds.

The central task of cultivating and cultivating crops to accumulate military funds is to solve the very urgent problem of military rations by developing agricultural production and increasing grain harvests. Only by solving the food problem can we gain a firm foothold in the competition among the heroes, and then eliminate our opponents and realize the great cause of reunification.

Liu Cong understands, and Zhuge Liang also understands. However, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, years of war have caused a large number of people to flee, and the war has been accompanied by a plague, which can bring the current social economy to the brink of collapse. In addition to Xiangyang, the seat of Jingzhou, Nanjun has nine counties and seven kingdoms under its jurisdiction, with a population of only more than 600,000, and an average of 40,000 people per county.

The population is sparse, and the affected nature is agriculture, and agriculture is now the pillar industry, agriculture has been destroyed, industry and commerce have naturally withered, Liu Cong must work hard, and must first revitalize the agriculture of Nanjun. But now is not a time of peace, Sun Quan in Jiangdong and Cao Cao in the north all dream of annexing Jingzhou, and it is impossible to give Liu Cong time to adopt the usual set of methods for developing agricultural production step by step.

Thinking about it, the only way to do it is to learn from Cao Cao, and use extraordinary means to combine labor and land at high speed and efficiency, that is, Tuntian. Fortunately, Nanjun is located in the hinterland of Jingzhou, and since Liu Biao became the ruler of Jingzhou, it has been quite stable, and the population of Jiangling is relatively concentrated. In addition, Jiangling and the surrounding counties located in the Jianghan Plain have a large amount of vacant land and wasteland, and there are also sufficient irrigation conditions, which is also the main reason why Liu Cong had to put Wu Ju and the place of death and win the position of Nanjun Taishou.

In addition, another advantage of the rise of the tuntian system is that it can attract peasants from all over the country who have fled to exile, and the wars in the era of cold weapons mainly consume human and financial resources, and financial resources are created by people. In the future, if there is a confrontation with Cao Cao and a war of attrition, population is also an important factor. With the five tiger generals and Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others, Shu Han was the first to perish, in addition to Liu Bei's insistence on avenging Guan Yu, which led to the defeat of the Yiling army, another important thing is that the population under his jurisdiction is too small, and the national strength is too weak.

Tuntian in the Han Dynasty has existed since ancient times, but Liu Cong did not intend to take the military tun safely. Especially when it was just starting, although it copied Wu Ju's Taishou Mansion, the cost of conscription was too great. It was Liu Cong's established policy to first implement the military tun near Jiangling, and then to the Dongjiang-Han Plain in the second year. Moreover, Tuntian is still under militarized management. The soldiers who were eliminated from the army and the peasants who were recruited were organized, and the troops in the fields were also divided according to the army's establishment, with 50 people in each tun, and the corresponding fields, farming implements, and ploughing cattle were distributed.

Gangneung is mainly stationed directly by active soldiers, and the public security county that will be built in the future will be dominated by scholars, and the producers of military households will be Tian soldiers, or Tuntian soldiers. Of course, Liu Cong didn't expect these Tuntian soldiers to go to the battlefield, if it really came to that point, Jingzhou would also be in danger. And the complete Mintun that will be implemented, Liu Cong has no bottom in his heart.

After all, the discipline of the peasants is very poor, and if they do not adopt coercion, they are afraid that the harvest will not be guaranteed, and the peasants are not accustomed to militarized management, and if the people move out on a large scale because of forced tuning, the gains outweigh the losses, so the real sense of the people's tuntun is only a small-scale pilot experiment. What Liu Cong can do is to let Liu Ba lead the crowd to build water conservancy first, make use of the natural irrigation areas of the Yangtze River and the Han River, and strive for two or even three crops a year.

After deciding what to do in the first step, Liu Cong split the soldiers and horses in Jiangling City, Gan Ning only chose the one with better water quality plus the brothers who were originally brought from Ba County for a total of three songs, and the rest Liu Cong asked Gan Ning to recruit the old department while training, and then expand the team in the extermination of water thieves. Zhang Bo was assigned 500 soldiers to cross the river for infrastructure construction. , Liu Ba divided 1,000 soldiers to carry out military reclamation around Jiangling City.

After the rest of the Quhou and Sima were equipped with personal soldiers, the 2,000 soldiers were handed over to Wei Yan, although there were only 2,000 people, two long-famous generals including Wang Wei and Huo Jun were arranged. In terms of division of labor, Wenpin is in charge of the two battalions of Shuibu, Gan Ning and Wei Yan are responsible for the training of the two battalions, and Wang Wei and Huo Jun are responsible for the security patrol in the county. The main task of the clerk is to recruit new recruits and train in battlefield formations and tactics.

Only one hundred soldiers were left to be responsible for the security of the Taishou Mansion, and the remaining three hundred people were all handed over to Huang Quan.

After Huang Quan became the post supervisor of the Fifth Ministry, he no longer served as Liu Cong's personal captain. Liu Cong saw that Huang Quan was about the same age as himself, and he was also clever and loyal, and he intended to train him to be similar to the commander of the Jinyi Guard in the Ming Dynasty.

Pang Shanmin made up for Zhang Bozhi's vacancy and was transferred to Yiling County. Liu Cong knew that although Pang Shanmin did not have the talent of Zhuge and Pang Tong, as the son of Pang Degong, a celebrity in Xiangyang, he still had some talent in his chest, Yiling was just a small county, and it was close to Jiangling, and it was easy to supervise in terms of government affairs.

In other counties and kingdoms, Liu Cong could only wait to slowly grasp the situation before considering changing the governor.
