After announcing the meeting with the envoy of Eastern Wu, he had a long talk with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who suggested to Liu Yong to meet with some important courtiers separately, and read a large number of official documents and records of the Shu Han court on agriculture, population, and soldiers. Through these personnel and records, we have a clear understanding of the current political situation and national strength of Shu Han.

This is undoubtedly a very pertinent proposal, Liu Yong fully agrees, before he has a systematic and correct understanding of the Shu Han court in the four years of Jianxing, let alone change the law and reform, Liu Yong is powerless to even ordinary personnel changes.

To give a simple example, for example, which unit is guarding the palace now, and Liu Yong, the commander of the army, does not know who Liu Yong is...... Forehead...... This is undoubtedly a very embarrassing and dangerous situation for a monarch.

Although Liu Yong was a history buff in his previous life, the history scrolls are like smoke, and what Liu Yong knows is only a very small part, limited to major events and famous figures.

First, Zhuge Liang was the first courtier Liu Yong to meet, and he had a series of resounding titles - Governor of Ku, General of Anhan, Marquis of Hanxing Pavilion, Jiaozhou Assassin Shi, Li Hui, who returned to Beijing to report on his work due to the death of his brother and his own accession to the throne.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a great chaos, frequent wars, the price of generals, and for a time there were many captains like dogs, and generals were everywhere. The military towns and important places generally belong to the rank of state pastor, assassin or taishou plus general, and hold the military and political power of a place, which shows that Li Hui belongs to the ranks of feudal officials and is a powerful local minister.

But Li Hui is not limited to this, he also has a more valuable official position - the governor of the capital, and the Han Dynasty leveled the governor of the capital

庲, the meaning of surrender. The Governor's Office was the highest military and political governor in the southern and central regions composed of the seven counties of Qike, Yuewang, Zhuti, Jianning, Yongchang, Yunnan and Xinggu, and was in charge of the affairs of the Han and Yi dynasties in the south.

Nanzhong, refers to the area south of Bashu, which is probably the southwest of Sichuan, Guizhou and most of Yunnan in later generations. This is the rear of the Shu Han Dynasty, endowed with gold, silver and rhino leather for ploughing cattle and war horses, providing a large number of materials and soldiers for the imperial court.

However, the Han and Yi are mixed here, and the contradictions are sharp, so the governor of the capital not only needs military and civil skills, but also requires a strong ability to deal with ethnic affairs. And Li Hui's ability to get out of Nanzhong shows that his skills and abilities are not bad.

Liu Yong summoned Li Hui in the East Pavilion, the East Pavilion, the place where the classics were collected in the Shu Han court, and by reading the copywriting of the East Pavilion, Liu Yong already knew his resume before Li Hui arrived.

Li Hui is a native of Yuyuan County, Jianning County, his uncle is a local powerful family, Li Hui has served as a local superintendent, defected to Liu Bei and was promoted to the Yizhou Mansion.

"Li Qing, what is the situation in Nanzhong today?" Liu Yong sat in the case and bamboo slips and asked Li Hui questions.

"Since last year, after the prime minister's southern expedition, the discipline of the southern middle gang has been rough, and the Han has been rough and peaceful."

From the first time he saw Li Hui, and then Li Hui spoke, Liu Yong felt that Li Hui was a very free and smart person, when introducing the situation in Nanzhong to Liu Yong, Li Hui was blunt, telling Liu Yong that the problem in Nanzhong was very complicated, and the tentacles of the imperial court could only reach the county level.

And Li Hui's cleverness lies in his deep understanding of the strategic position of Nanzhong in the country: "Or say: Gunanzhong can be Tuba and Shu, and Yongba and Shu can look at Guanzhong." The state's policy for Nanzhong is to focus on pacification, supplemented by military suppression, and to keep fewer Han soldiers and Han officials. ”

After playing against Li Hui, Liu Yong had a general impression of today's Nanzhong - the imperial court's control of Nanzhong was semi-direct and half-fettered, and it had not yet reached the point of such safe control in the mainland.

"A conversation with you is better than reading a book for ten years. I have an idea of what is going on in Nanzhong. Liu Yong looked at Li Hui, who was in his early fifties and had gray sideburns, and felt very good in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the affairs of Nanzhong are complicated and simple." Li Hui smiled, the lord was worried about the southern affairs, and his humble attitude of asking for advice made him have a good impression of Liu Yong.

"Huh? How so? Liu Yong asked

Li Hui stretched out his right index finger and wrote a stroke on the table, "The key to the affairs of Nanzhong lies in employing people." People who go out of Nanzhong need to be familiar with the local customs and folklore, have a reputation among the Han Yi, and deal with things fairly, so that Nanzhong can be governed. ”

Right...... Liu Yong listened to praise again and again, it turned out that Li Huidu supervised Nanzhong for nine years in history, delivered a steady stream of military materials to Cheng 1, and gave strong support to Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. Later, he died in office, and his successor, Zhang Yi, enforced the law strictly, and was not favored by Nanyi, and left after less than two years.

"Does Gong Li know the situation south of Nanzhong?" After learning about Nanzhong, Liu Yong began to inquire about the situation of the Indochina Peninsula in this era.

"The south of the south is remote and the road is rugged, and the minister doesn't know much, only that there are more than ten countries in the Far South, such as Zhenla and Funan, and their people are ugly and black, and they are walking on their ............."

After a detailed discussion with Li Hui, Liu Yong had his own consideration of the Nanzhong issue - before the time is ripe, the best way to govern Nanzhong is to maintain the status quo and delegate power. It's too early to change the land or something......

After meeting Li Hui, Liu Yong drove to Shangshutai, where he would exchange court and state affairs with Fei Yi, the waiter, Dong Yun, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, and other close attendants, of course, they actually completed the exchange and education of Liu Yong, such as the rest of the "Liutao".

In fact, Zhuge Liang arranged for Liu Yong to meet the courtiers in the afternoon, and the reason why Li Hui was summoned this morning was because Li Hui was an important minister in southern Xinjiang, and he could not stay in Chengdu for a long time The first meeting with Liu Yong just now was also Li Hui's speech, and after the meeting, Li Hui would immediately return to Pingyi County, Qike County, and surrender to the governor's mansion.

On top of the car, Liu Yong began to think about the problem of Shang Shutai

Shangshutai is subordinate to Shaofu, but now there is only a nominal subordinate relationship with Shaofu. In order to avoid the situation that the emperor's power fell at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty attributed all confidential matters to Shangshutai and used it to restrain the three dukes. Moreover, although the Shangshu Ling and Shangshu Servant of Shangshutai are powerful but not high, they are only ranked more than a thousand stones, and their subordinate officials are hundreds of stone petty officials, and the emperor is easy to control.

When he arrived in Cao Wei, he regarded Shangshutai as the general organ of national government affairs, and his authority became increasingly important. But when I got to Shu Han and Liu Yong, I was really depressed and embarrassed............ Now, the authority of Shu Han is attributed to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Bei died in the third year of Zhang Wu, Zhuge Liang opened the mansion to govern affairs, and always took care of Cao affairs.

Like those talented and capable courtiers, all his mothers became subordinate officials of the prime minister, such as: Jiang Wan, the prime minister's mansion Dong Cao Peng; Dong Ju, the chief secretary of the Prime Minister's Mansion; Yang Yi, joined the army in the Prime Minister's Mansion; Huo Yi, Prime Minister's Office; Xiang Lang, Prime Minister's Governor's Mansion............

At the same time, Zhuge Liang concurrently serves as the Yizhou pastor, and those who deal with basic government affairs such as agriculture, commerce and animal husbandry, government affairs, finance, salt and iron, etc., are engaged in Cao Cao, and Zhonglang is also Zhuge Liang's subordinate officials...... If you don't map the territory...... The actual land of Shu Han is a Yizhou!! ）……

With the officials of these two prefectures, Zhuge Liang can completely kick out the three princes and nine qing, Shang Shutai and even the emperor to do it alone, the sun will rise as usual, and Shu Han will continue to operate.

So everyone knows what Liu Yong's Shangshutai can do............

Therefore, Liu Yongting admires his cheap eldest brother Liu Chan for being able to endure all the things for more than ten years without much complaint............ Compare Huo Guang and Dolgon, the two powerful ministers...... Liu Chan's fate for Zhu Zhu is not too good. This also verifies from the side that Liu Chan is really a second-generation gentleman who eats and waits for death and has no ambitions......

Shang Shutai

After receiving more than an hour of re-education by Dong Yun, Fei Yi and Guo Youzhi, Liu Yong finally failed to extricate himself and jumped into another big pit of text learning. It seems that although Zhuge Liang thinks that His Majesty is smarter than Liu Chan's unlucky bastard, he obviously still does not have the ability and conditions to be pro-government, and he still needs to work hard, and the responsibility of his own personal responsibility is still inevitable.

patted the "Jianxing Three-Year Counting Table" in his hand, Liu Yong sighed, his eyes stayed on the first word of the first column, he couldn't see it, he had been thinking about how to establish his authority, without affecting the relationship with Zhuge Liang and his status, and at the same time not tearing apart the stable situation today.

Gradually, Liu Yong had a vague plan in his belly.

"Chen Shang Shulang Zhen greets Your Majesty!" Just as Liu Yong lowered his head and pondered, a loud and playful voice sounded.

Liu Yong raised his head, and a smiling and slightly playful face appeared, which was Liu Yong's sworn friend, Du Zhen with a hippie smile!

Looking at Du Zhen, Liu Yong was also very happy, he could probably be regarded as the minister of his hidden mansion, smiled, and beckoned to Du Zhen: "Du Zhen, come here, get closer to me." ”

Du Zhen smiled shyly and took a few steps closer.

"Closer, closer."

Du Zhen glanced at Liu Yong, restrained his smile, and walked to the bottom of the imperial case.

"Go up, Du Zhen."

Du Zhengong stepped up the stairs and came to Liu Yong's throne. Liu Yong got up, pulled Du Zhen to sit down, and sat on the steps.

"Your Majesty?" Du Zhen saw that Liu Yong was a little abnormal, and couldn't help but ask.

"Du Zhen, I am here now, there is a big thing that you need to do, and if you do it well, it will be good for thousands of years, and it will greatly enhance the national strength of our emperor and Han."

As soon as Liu Yonggang ascended the throne, he immediately promoted himself to a close minister, which is of course a trust and love, Du Zhen said without thinking: "Your Majesty, please speak, the minister is willing to serve his life." ”

Waving his hand, Liu Yong continued: "Wen Ran (Du Zhenzi Wenran), don't be busy agreeing first, this matter of mine is not so simple. I want you to send an envoy to Funan! ”

"Envoy to Funan? It is said that it is the far south, the country deep in the vast rainforest? Your Majesty, what are you doing there? Du Zhen looked confused, and he couldn't guess Liu Yong's intentions even after trying his best.

"Go and find an early rice seed, Zhancheng rice!"

"Champa rice?"

"That's right, Champa Rice! This rice has high yield, early maturity and drought tolerance, and if it is introduced into Bashu, it will greatly increase grain production. ”
