Jiangxia's reception did not reverse, Liu Yi found Zhao Yun, arrived in Xiling with his people, and returned Lu Meng at the same time, the county officials prepared in advance were replaced, as for the original Jiangxia officials, those who were willing to go with the Jiangdong people left, and those who did not want to leave would not stay, Fu Shiren's matter made Liu Bei have an extra mind, and the appointment and review of officials were much stricter, and these officials who were willing to stay could not be hired until at least two years later.

"Don't drive in Jingzhou?" Liu Yi looked at Cui Zhouping in surprise, he didn't expect Cui Zhouping's appointment to come down so quickly, and don't drive to engage in this official position, it is much bigger than Jiangxia Taishou circle, as the adjutant of the state pastor, in fact, Liu Bei is now also pasting the land of the two states, this don't drive in political functions, it is already equivalent to the state pastor, but the military power is controlled by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, Cui Zhouping does not have the right to directly transfer, but even so, the official official is a state real power officer, which is already very remarkable.

"Congratulations to Brother Zhou Ping, it seems that I am worried too much." Liu Yi smiled at Cui Zhouping.

Before, he was still worried about how to give Cui Zhouping the position of Jiangxia Taishou, but now it seems that he is worried about it, with Cui Zhouping's ability and connections in Liu Bei's group, it is not difficult to come up, not to mention that he is not an inch of merit, when Liu Bei just had the four counties of Jingnan, Cui Zhouping was the actual manager of Changsha and even Yueyang later, and the two counties were quite effective under his governance. In the current situation that there are no top talents in Jingzhou, Cui Zhouping is undoubtedly very suitable.

Cui Zhouping sat down opposite Liu Yi, smiled and waved his hand when he heard the words: "Among them, Bo Yuan also helped a lot, if it wasn't for Bo Yuan's success, I'm afraid it would be difficult to do this job!" ”

Although he has not been out of office, Cui Zhouping has not helped Liu Bei indirectly, which is also the reason why Liu Yi has always been willing to give Cui Zhouping power, not to mention the relationship between Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

"You say, what will happen to the world next?" Liu Yi fiddled with the charcoal fire in the stove, looked at Cui Zhouping and asked, the current history has been separated from Liu Yi's knowledge, and Liu Yi doesn't understand what the future of the world will be.

"If there are three points today, after this battle, the land of Jingxiang and Bashu is a foregone conclusion, although Cao Cao is powerful, it is difficult to concentrate all his strength, our army has the advantage of terrain, I am afraid that it will be difficult to unify in the next few decades, as for how it will ......" Cui Zhouping smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid no one in this world can say." ”

In Cui Zhouping's view, this is no longer something that Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan can decide, but it depends on how the descendants of the three families are, and even in the hands of the three grandchildren, there may not be an opportunity to crack it, this matter depends on the will of God.

Liu Yi was silent when he heard this, to a certain extent, Liu Yi broke the conspiracy of Jiangdong's sneak attack on Jingzhou this time, and also contributed to the current three-legged situation in disguise, right or wrong, maybe it can really only be assessed by future generations.

Seeing that Liu Yi's mood was a little low, Cui Zhouping could probably guess what he was thinking, shook his head and smiled: "This matter is not up to you and me, now that it has reached the point where it has arrived, you and I should show what we have learned in our chests, and we are worthy of ourselves and our hearts." ”

"That's all there is to it." When Liu Yi heard this, he nodded and smiled: "But Jiangxia is too guarded, do you think Zhao Xu is suitable?" ”

Although I thought about helping Zhao Xu, this Jiangxia's position is very important, and Zhao Xu's ability can only be regarded as decent.

"Here in Jiangxia, after several wars, and now the population is exhausted, you are recruiting Kong Ming to sit in Jiangxia, and in a short period of time, there will be no improvement, Zhao Xu, although there is a loss in small sections, but above the big things, he can still be trusted." Cui Zhou said with a smile.

Jiangxia is too guarded, in fact, you don't need much ability, just be able to govern, Jiangxia's main role is to guard against Jiangdong, military significance is greater than people's livelihood, Liu Bei put Wenpin here, which is also the meaning.

Liu Yi groped his chin and nodded, this Zhao Xu is now half of his own person, and it is easy to use, and in the next two or three years, Liu Yi's scope of activities is mostly in Jingbei, but it is the land of Jingnan, which has formed a stable and benign development, as long as the supervision is done well, there is no need to sit there all the time.

"You have to worry about these things, I only take care of civil engineering affairs in various places, and you have to allocate money to me." Liu Yi shook his head, with Cui Zhouping here, why bother to worry about these things by himself, and smiled at Cui Zhouping at the moment.

"How much do you need this Jiangxia?" Cui Zhouping asked with a smile.

"At present, there are not many places to move construction, Wenpin needs a few water villages to be armed, in addition to a few rivers can build bridges, and temples will be built in each county, I am ready to transform Mocheng into a comprehensive township like a fishing township, in addition, the houses burned down in Jiangling should be repaired, Xiangyang according to the meaning of the prince, want to take advantage of this opportunity to tear down and rebuild, but this year can at most lay a foundation, and really start construction next year, these calculations, this year will probably use about 300 million." Liu Yi pondered.

It sounds like a lot, but in fact it is not much, post-war reconstruction is already troublesome, not to mention the need to add a lot of new buildings, plus the foundation of Xiangyang, although there is no need to be like Yueyang, but there are a lot of things to consider just for the design of Liu Yi, after all, there are not many natural water conservancy in Xiangyang, and it has to be saved, and it is impossible for the entire city to enjoy the convenience brought by water conservancy like Yueyang, so it is military priority, and the privilege naturally exists, but it is limited to a few people.

Anyway, these things are calculated, 300 million is a small amount, the pontoon bridge in the two cities of Xiangfan, in Liu Yi's calculations, the materials alone need 10 million, although the fishing village makes a lot of money every year, but you can't always let yourself pay out of pocket, right? Liu Bei's forces are now on the right track, and it's time to give feedback.

"If you can't take it out at once, give it in batches." Cui Zhouping thought for a while and said: "In addition, it is best to do some water conservancy things, in recent years, the population of Jingxiang has grown very fast, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that there will be a food shortage." ”

There is a lot of money in the treasury, and in recent years, Jingzhou has mainly collected the hearts of the people, and the taxes are not high, like many places in Jingnan are still adopting the policy of encouraging land reclamation, although they are rich, but they also have to maintain the normal operation of Jingzhou's internal affairs, and 300 million yuan is not a small number.

"This is no problem, my side is also gradually expanding, and the second half of the year is the time to really use the money." Liu Yi nodded, the first half of the year is mainly to plan in various places, prepare materials, and finalize the place to start construction, at most, it is to help repair the houses and city walls, and the second half of the year is the time to spend a lot of money to build, and there is enough time to wait.

The two met, originally to catch up, but as they talked, they began to discuss the future governance of Jingzhou and how to develop it, where to break ground, build a few post roads and post stations, and each county must have at least four or five, and what extent is Jiangdong on guard, Jiangxia is not only bordered by Jiangdong, but also bordered by Jianghuai, although it is mainly based on mountains, but it is also necessary to be guarded against, this must be discussed with Guan Yu and Wenpin, and the defense of Xiangyang is the top priority, but unfortunately Xinye has not been able to take it back, Otherwise, it is better to push the defense line to Shinno.

"Two gentlemen......" When Zhao Yun came over, the table in front of the two of them was already full of various sketches, and Zhao Yun was a little dazed when he saw it, what were these two people doing? What about the old days?

"What's the matter with General Zilong?" Liu Yi and Cui Zhouping stopped at this time, looked at Zhao Yun and asked.

"The banquet has been set up, and the people from Jiangdong are ready to leave, and now they are waiting for the two." Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, the feelings of these two have forgotten.

Liu Yi and Cui Zhouping patted their heads at the same time, and each stood up for this memory: "Don't make people wait for a long time, let's go." ”

After all, diplomacy is still needed in the future, and now that the matter has been negotiated, there can be no slack in etiquette.
