Liu Yi said this to Liu Miao openly and honestly, so that Liu Miao really had no way to avoid it.

After all, the words have come to this, if Liu Miao does not make a positive response, then it will be equivalent to not giving Liu Yi face, so that Liu Yi will not be able to step down, and will openly break with Liu Yi, completely standing on the opposite side of the New Han Dynasty. Then, the army of the New Han Army will come to the city. At that time, the words will not be so easy to say, Liu Miao really can't bear the weight of the army.

Of course, there are still many benefits to the submission of the New Han Dynasty, at least, they can temporarily retain their existing wealth and power, and also, after the submission of the New Han Dynasty, the Yangtze River Basin can be allowed to come and go freely, and there is no need to pay additional river taxes, customs duties and other customs duties and commercial taxes to the New Han Army that controls the Yangtze River Basin.

Also, Leo Yi also told them. What he wants to see is the performance of the people in Jianye after they surrendered to the New Han Dynasty, and Liu Yi will not investigate how they were before. In other words, in the future, as long as they act in accordance with the basic national laws of the New Han Dynasty, then they will not have any worries. Liu Yi will not deliberately suppress and deprive them of their interests.

However, Liu Yi also made it clear that after Liu Miao announced his submission to the New Han Dynasty, then he would be a courtier of the New Han Dynasty, and in the future, all interests would have to be based on the New Han Dynasty and the people.

But having said that, after Jianye surrendered to the New Han Dynasty, there were some obligations that should be fulfilled. That's what they have to do. If the time comes, they can't do things according to the rules of the new Han Dynasty. Then they will also suffer at any time. For example, the New Han Dynasty needed more grain and grass. These powerful ministers and local tyrants of Jianye City must do their best to support the imperial court. The imperial court will not ask for them in vain, nor will it forcibly ask them, but it will definitely buy from them at a lower price, if they can't see the situation clearly, then they will be embarrassed, and they can take a crime casually. Let them bow their heads.

What does that mean? Everything in the world belongs to the Han Dynasty, and when the Han Dynasty is in need, they, the local princes, and the local tyrants, don't pay anything, so what's the use of the Han keeping them? The need referred to here is also quite broad. The New Han Army of the New Han Dynasty needed a lot of money and food to fight. It can be levied under this pretext, and in addition, there is a disaster in a certain place, or there is a big move in a certain place. Such as opening roads, digging water conservancy canals or something. These are all measures that benefit the country and the people. These local officials and local tyrants and gentry who have already made a lot of money, if this does not support these things of the New Han Dynasty. Don't give generously, don't spit out some blood. Then the New Han Dynasty could openly confiscate their family wealth to replenish the army.

In fact, this matter is not only aimed at Jianye Liu Xuan, in other places, even those powerful officials, local tyrants, big landlords and businessmen in the original power territory of the New Han Dynasty have to accept such obligations, and if they can't do it, they will no longer be eligible to enjoy the existing benefits.

Because Liu Yi was present and shook the scene, it was impossible for Liu Yi to discuss with the generals and ministers below him and the local clan masters.

He secretly glanced at the people below, but no one could give him any hints, basically pretending not to see it, and all of them seemed to be hanging high on their own business.

Even the generals he relied on the most, Fan Neng, Yu Elk, Zhang Ying, Shi Yi, Sun Shao, Zhen Rong, Xue Li, etc., were all stunned one by one, as if they were asleep. Obviously, these generals, they don't have the slightest intention of being enemies with the New Han Dynasty, with Liu Yi, and with the New Han Army, and they don't even have the slightest idea of being unconvinced to fight with the New Han Army. The generals are still like this, and they are already intimidated by Liu Yi's power, let alone those civilian officials.

The generals have lost their sharpness, so what else is there to say?

Liu Miao had no choice but to bow his head, proclaim himself to Liu Yi, and make it clear that he would submit to the New Han Dynasty.

Liu Yi was overjoyed, praised Liu Miao as a virtuous man, and immediately announced on behalf of the New Han Dynasty that Liu Miao was the Taishou of Jianye City in the New Han Dynasty, and everything remained as it was for the time being, leaving the New Han Army to send troops and horses and officials to come to reformulate the functions and responsibilities of the various official parts of Jianye City, and keep up with the official government of the New Han Dynasty.

But Liu Yi also told Liu Miao that he didn't have to worry, he didn't have to publicly announce that he had surrendered to the New Han Dynasty, let him keep it secret for the time being, and when the New Han Army officially declared war on Cao Cao, he would respond publicly. On the contrary, the reorganization of the army can be carried out in secret.

After Jianye's business, Liu Yi refused Liu Xuan's kindness to stay, left Jianye City overnight, and went up the Yangtze River.

A few days later, Liu Yi returned to Jiangxia.

Su Xin and Yin Lingshan and other women, they still have Dongting Lake Xinzhou, but Liu Yi doesn't plan to go to Dongting Lake again. It's just that Yin Xiao, Mrs. Zhurong, the Wu sisters and other women took Himiko, Yueyu, Xu Min, George Sakurahime and other women from the Japanese Kingdom to the Liu family courtyard in Dongting Lake and Yuema Lake to settle down. After a while, I will take them to the newly built courtyard next to the Luoshui River in Luoyang. Liu Yi didn't want to worry about this.

In Xiangyang, Jingzhou, after Guan Yu left, it was the Yi nationality who presided over the overall situation of Jingzhou. At the same time, there are also Chen Zhen, Sun Qian and other ministers to assist, and they are all the courtiers of Jingzhou together, not only to hold Jingzhou without losing, but also to beware of Cao Cao's military horses coming to attack. The most important thing is to ensure the food supply of the military horses of Zhang Fei's subordinates, who are advancing west along the Yangtze River, and the supply of grain and grass for the military horses of Guan Yu's subordinates, which were led by Wei Yan earlier and later supported by the army.

These days, these Jingzhou advisers have broken up almost as soon as possible, and some of them haven't been able to close their eyes for two or three days.

It is indeed not easy to support a war, especially a protracted one. The problem of ensuring the logistical supply of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line is definitely not a trivial matter. If something goes wrong in one place, it can affect the whole picture.

If it weren't for the fact that the New Han Dynasty sent many civil officials to assist them in governing the people of Jingzhou, and sent many town-level county officials and county lieutenants to the towns below to preside over the work, I am afraid that it would be really difficult for them to do a good job in all aspects of Jingzhou's affairs for a while.

Liu Yi returned to Xiangyang. The civil and military forces in Xiangyang City almost all breathed a sigh of relief. If Liu Yi didn't personally preside over Jingzhou's affairs, they were afraid that they would really not be able to withstand it.

Don't underestimate the logistics. If it is not done well, it will directly affect the victory or defeat of the New Han Army on the front line.

Engaging in logistics will definitely not be as simple as raising military rations for the troops on the front line and sending them to the front line for the use of the officers and men at the front, and there are also problems in armaments. In addition, there is also the problem of making and transporting a large number of bows, weapons, clothing, and so on to the New Han army on the front line. And also. If the wounded soldiers on the front line are sent back, how to treat them, how to resettle them, how to get more mountain herbs, hemostatic medicines, and so on.

The battle at the front was fierce, and there were countless wounded soldiers, some of whom were slightly wounded, and they stayed on the battlefield and were treated by military doctors. And some of the seriously injured ones are afraid that it will be a little troublesome. On the battlefield, it is more likely that the battlefield is bandaged and seriously injured. I have to send them to those military doctors with more medical skills for treatment immediately, and I have to ensure the environment for treatment. How can the injured be calmed down?

And some mountain herbs are very scarce in the army. It can't be all the time, these badly wounded soldiers. They had to be sent back to the main city for healing.

After visiting Liu Yi, a group of Xiangyang civil and military officers explained to Liu Yi the situation they are facing one by one. Tell Liu Yi that now, relying on Jingzhou alone to support the New Han army to attack the two battlefields of Yizhou and Hanzhong, they have slowly become inadequate.

It didn't take long for Jingzhou to be subdued, but it was about a year. In such a large state, the composition of the people is complex, and there are too many landlords and heroes, and the people in Jingzhou are too long-lasting. At first, they were not very comfortable with the governance of the New Han Dynasty, and they were not at all as diligent and down-to-earth as the people of the New Han Dynasty to recover those long-endangered states, that is, they were too comfortable. The government is not very easy to manage, and the words are not very easy to use. There will always be some people who will organize the official administration of the New Han Dynasty.

In this way, the indicators in all aspects are actually barely qualified, farming, unwilling to diversify, and those who want to pay grain will not be too happy. In the final analysis, except for some people who are indeed more supportive of the rule of the New Han Dynasty, the average person who used to live well, and is at the middle and upper reaches of the common people, seems to be more willing to live the previous life.

There is also a major factor that makes many people in Jingzhou feel unfair.

That's about the land. Ordinary landlords, their families, occupy a lot of fertile land, and in normal times, even if they collect rent from domestic servants, they can ensure that they have good clothes for generations. Now, when they were to give a portion of their fertile land to their former servants to cultivate, but no longer had to pay them grain, their hearts were somewhat unbalanced.

Because the New Han Dynasty clearly stipulated that the fertile land of the local landlord's family should never be abandoned. In any case, we must grow food. However, to grow crops, people need to cultivate them, but when the New Han Dynasty governed them, who was willing to farm for them? The common people who had rented their land now had the right to apply to the New Han Dynasty government for their own land. In fact, they don't need to apply for it themselves, they only need to register and become official subjects of the New Han Dynasty, then they will already be able to obtain the land allocation of their government and have their own land.

In addition, after the registration of the New Han Dynasty, they were also able to get rid of slavery and become official subjects of the New Han Dynasty, and in the future, they can proudly say that they are upright Han people and the people of the Han Dynasty. From now on, they only need to pay taxes to the government, and they no longer have to look at the faces of those places, and they no longer need to exploit the landlords in those places. Under such circumstances, the slaves of the landlords and wealthy families, except for a very few who were loyal to their families, generally left the courtyards of those local families one after another, and became the Han people of the New Han Dynasty, with the rights and interests they should have.

In this case, those local tyrants, landlords who own too much fertile land at home, who will cultivate their fields? Guarded by the housekeepers in their homes? Or are they the children of their family? Or some slave servants who are still loyal to their family? With so many fields, can you cultivate them? Well, if the cultivation can't be done, the government of the New Han Dynasty doesn't care, and they have already violated the basic national law of the Han Dynasty by throwing away the fertile land, and in addition to breaking the law, the government also doesn't care whether they have cultivation or not, and they will collect grain according to the number of acres of land they have registered. In this way, how dare those landlords occupy the fertile land again and not return it to the government of the New Han Dynasty?

But in this way, many local wealthy families in Jingzhou are not very happy.

Of course, if you are not happy, in private, there are still a little moves, most of them want to continue to occupy their own fields.

In order to keep the land they owned, some local wealthy families had to stop the slave servants who were working for their own families, and wanted to forcibly keep them to continue to cultivate their own fertile land that they could not afford to cultivate. In recent years, there have been almost daily incidents of conflicts between domestic servants and local landlords. I don't know how many cases there are that have killed people.

These guys, Liu Biao was still alive before, and when he governed them, they were willing to pay a lot of money and food, just because Liu Biao could ensure their current interests. But now, it doesn't work anymore, and after submitting to the New Han Dynasty, it is unlikely that they still want to live like before.

As soon as they saw that after they surrendered to the New Han Dynasty, their interests were greatly reduced, and they all complained, and they were not happy to pay for food.

Now that Guan and Zhang are not there, Yi Yuan and other Wenchen can't suppress them, and they are dragging their feet again, and they are beginning to drag the back of the New Han Army.

As soon as Liu Yi arrived, after listening to the grievances of the civil officials and ministers in Jingzhou, his face was grim.

Liu Yi had long known that the land of Jingzhou was too complicated. It's not too easy to govern well. This situation may also be encountered in Yizhou in the future, especially in the current Hanzhong, even after the recovery, it will take time for those people who have been brainwashed by the Wudou Rice Sect to truly obey the rule of the Han Dynasty.

It is possible to adapt measures to local conditions, and it is not impossible to give specific policies to specific regions, and in Liu Yi's heart, he never thought that the people of the Han Dynasty would always live according to a model.

Liu Yi also knows deeply that it is regarded as being in Luoyang Silizhou, in Julu, in Bingzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, even Jizhou and Youzhou. The people in these areas have already suffered greatly from the war, and as long as the New Han Dynasty gives the people in those areas a hope for life and gives them a certain amount of relief, they will quickly return to the Han Dynasty. However, in the Jingzhou area, a wealthy area, only a part of the people needed the help of the New Han Dynasty to help them live. And most of them did not have to accept the favor of the New Han Dynasty. In this way, they will not be so easy to return to the New Han Dynasty and will not be so loyal. I don't think that the basic laws of the New Han Dynasty are also applicable to them.

For these, Liu Yi also had instructions to maintain the stability of Jingzhou as much as possible according to the actual situation.

But now it seems that some guys are probably not satisfied.

At that moment, Liu Yi immediately gave an order.

No matter which place the New Han Dynasty is now under its jurisdiction, whether or not it needs relief and support from the imperial court, so that the common people, local businessmen, landlords, and so on can live better. After enjoying the tax exemption period of the New Han Dynasty, they must pay the money and grain that should be paid on time according to the regulations. Originally, the government of the New Han Dynasty formulated a relatively low tax rate according to the income and output of the people in various places, and if those people did not act in accordance with the basic national laws and regulations of the imperial court and government, and let them tax their fields and delay them, the government of the New Han Dynasty in various places had the power to confiscate the family property of the local landlords and distribute them to the army.

You can't be too kind to certain people of a certain class, and the more good you are to them, the more wolf-hearted you are, and you don't know how to be grateful.

Seriously, Liu Yi also explained that he can be copied and beheaded!

With such a strict order, the Jingzhou area was silent, and no one dared to trouble the Jingzhou government anymore. (To be continued......)
