Chapter 026 Jingzhou Conference (2)

The Yamen Inner Assembly was in its final stage, and Liu Cong announced the order for the adjustment of Yamen officials.

I saw Liu Cong standing majestically in the middle of the hall behind the long case, on the wall behind him, posted a huge map of Jingzhou topography and landscape, the map near the mountains and rocks are majestic, the middle scene is the mighty Yangtze River, the river is rolling eastward, thousands of sails in the river are competing, the boat is like a shuttle, one of them is a huge ship, the deck of the giant ship is a seven-story ship, the deck is lined up with a large number of soldiers, all holding knives and guns, wearing bows and arrows, around a huge sail in the middle of the deck, on the top of the sail on a big flag facing the river wind hunting and hunting, It is eye-catching and inscribed with four big - Jingzhou Water Division. At the front of the deck, there is a black trumpet flag on the keel ship, and the word "Liu" is clearly written on the flag. The peaks on the other side of the mighty river are continuous, the trees are verdant, the faint mist covers the foot of the mountain, and the neat city wall passes are faintly loomed in the mist??????

Liu Cong stood in front of the huge painting, with one hand pressed on the top and the other holding a manuscript, reading to the officials the transfer order of the Jingzhou Yamen.

On the right side of the case is a wide pestle, and on the top of the pestle sits the emperor's uncle Liu Bei. I saw Liu Bei's face calm, his eyes were calm, his hair was tied with a green scarf on his head, three strands of beard just wrapped around the collar of his jacket, the collar of the jacket was trimmed with dark fabric, the jacket was a navy blue over-the-knee gown, plain trousers, the trousers were tucked into the boots, the legs were slightly apart, sitting on the pestle, listening attentively to Liu Cong's reading of the order, facing the officials at the bottom of the steps, and turning his head to look at Liu Cong from time to time.

Liang Zhu'er held Liu Biao's Jingzhou Thorn Shi Dayin in both hands, Lai Fatzi hung his left hand, and held Liu Biao's imperial sword in his right hand.

At the bottom of the steps, there are civil and military officials, the right column is the civil official, Cai Mao is standing at the head of the class, the left column is the military attaché, and the general Guan Yu is standing at the top.

I saw Cai Mao standing there in the civil official, looking at the military attache opposite, but not glancing at Liu Cong on the stage, occasionally slanting at Liu Bei who was sitting on the right side of the case, and then turning his head and stretching out his lower lip half a foot long, showing great contempt and full of dissatisfaction.

Guan Yu stood there silently, just slightly closed Danfeng's eyes, as if he was napping, but in fact, he was watching the civil official queue opposite, while listening to Liu Cong read out the order.

The expressions of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun in the civil officials were all in Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes, but he didn't have a trace of expression from beginning to end, and only exhaled a few times when he couldn't look at them.

Zhang Fei just stared at Liu Cong with big eyes and bells, listening to Liu Cong's speech wholeheartedly, holding his face full of beard, and he didn't know if he would listen to a word.

and Liu Cong's good brother Liu Qi, who was also standing in the civil official queue at this time.

In terms of seniority, although he and Liu Fengguan are counted here, but in terms of identity, he is Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Cong's brother, plus this guy has always arranged himself in the position of the master of Jingzhou, and does not define his identity according to his own ability, so at this time he seems upset and annoyed, standing in the civil official queue from time to time moving back and forth, listening to Liu Cong read an order, he muttered a rebuttal below, although the language of his refutation may not be clear to everyone, but in such a quiet scene, Liu Qi's performance was very out of line.

All the officials could see it, but it was inconvenient for everyone to persuade and stop him, so they had to let him perform.

At the beginning, when Liu Cong stood on the steps behind the case, he looked at the room full of black and suppressed a group of civil and military generals, and a little pride surged in his heart. The autumn breeze outside the window blew in from the window lattice, raising a slight dust, stirring the corners of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Feng's robes, Liu Cong suspected that he was giving orders to a group of Arhat generals, and thought: "The heroes and heroes of the world, half of them are in my hands, who am I afraid of?" Who would dare to fight me? It's Cao Cao who came over, which of his generals was Uncle Guan's opponent? Cao Cao's proud strategist is just Guo Jiaxun, Yu Xunhe, Zhang Hua, Zhong Xuan, Man Zhong and others are not on the stage, even Guo Jia can't be compared with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others. Pang Degong admired Sima Yi, but now he has not shown his head in Cao Ying. Let's just talk about Zhao Yun, there is no opponent among the generals in Cao Ying, let alone the third uncle Zhang Fei, he can defeat Lu Bu alone, why are you afraid of Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang in Cao Ying? ”

Liu Cong was thinking of this, the autumn wind outside the house was blowing, the leaves outside the house were flying, the tiles on the eaves in the corner of the house were dry, and the trees around the yamen made a whining sound, as if the sky and the earth had become an empty battlefield. The war is about to break out, the military flag hunting, the war horses neighing, the dark clouds are rolling, and the wolf smoke is everywhere, just waiting for this group of gods of war to fight on the prancing horses?????? Such an illusory scene that urged Liu Cong's blood to be enthusiastic made Liu Cong suddenly feel a heavy responsibility and did not dare to slack off at all.

At this time, all the generals and strategists were already in place, all of them stood in class with different ideas in their hearts, waiting for Liu Cong to issue an order.

I only heard Liu Cong's voice speak in a low voice, and he read slowly: "Everyone, everyone has understood the spirit of this meeting, forgive me repeating it again."

The general spirit of the conference was how to develop the economy, strengthen the power of Jingzhou, and save power to destroy Cao Wei and revive the Han dynasty.

After two days of discussions, everyone basically formed a unified understanding on how to accomplish this historical task, that is, first, it is necessary to recover the lost territory north of the Hanshui River in a short period of time and build it into a base area for resisting Cao in the future. To regain this lost territory, Fancheng must first be conquered. As soon as Fancheng was broken, the lost land from Fancheng to the north and west naturally belonged to it. So, I decided to conquer Fancheng immediately.

Second, after returning to the Yamen of the Assassin's Mansion and the officials of the county and county yamen, they immediately began to formulate a plan for reclaiming wasteland and tuntian, which must be submitted to the Yamen of the Assassin's History for examination before the Spring Festival. As soon as it is approved, it will be implemented immediately.

During the discussion, different opinions were put forward on the work of reclamation of barren land and farmland, and a small number of people agreed with it, while most of them disagreed. Those who disagree are not opposed to the general spirit of our meeting, but rather emphasize the many difficulties of Tuntian.

Here, I would like to reiterate the attitude of the Jingzhou Yamen.

In order to develop the economy and save strength in Jingzhou, it must start by reclaiming the barren land and ensuring that there is abundant grain and grass. Only when there is abundant grain and grass can all industries be revived, the people can produce with peace of mind, the soldiers can fight with peace of mind, and can they have the strength to resist Cao Bing and achieve victory. Otherwise, everything is empty talk.

Therefore, I decided that no matter how difficult it is to reclaim the barren land, it must be carried out in Jingzhou.

It can be said that the success of reclamation of barren tuntian land is the key to the survival and extinction of Jingzhou as a whole, so the yamen at all levels must do a good job in the work of reclamation of barren tuntian.

Of course, there are many practical difficulties in reclaiming wasteland and tuntian, and the yamen understands and faces these difficulties squarely. However, the yamen at all levels were set up to solve difficulties. If you can't solve the difficulties and work for the welfare of the people of Jingzhou, why should the Yamen set up county officials at all levels?

Okay, with regard to the work of reclamation of barren land and tuntian, I have already made it clear on behalf of the Yamen's attitude, so let's seize the time to make a plan when we go back.

Third, raising silkworms and reeling silk. During the meeting, the Changsha Yamen put forward a proposal to plant mulberry and raise silkworms and reel silk brocade. That's a good suggestion. According to the latest statistics of the Yamen, the income from raising silkworms and reeling silk at that time basically met the financial expenditures of the Yamen and the army at all levels. It's just that in the past few years, because of the war, this major event has been stopped. We have experience in raising silkworms and reeling silk again, and have a good relationship with Yizhou, which was the main supplier of raw materials for Yizhou Shu brocade before. Therefore, after returning to the Yamen, while formulating the plan for Tuntian, the officials at all levels also formulated the work of raising silkworms and reeling silk within the plan, and prepared to grasp it as an important task for rejuvenating Jingzhou's economy.

After these three tasks were arranged, Liu Cong talked about the future foreign policy, as well as the policy towards Liu Zhang of Western Shu, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, and Sun Quan of Jiangdong, as well as some other matters.

As the concluding remarks of this meeting, Liu Cong spoke for half an afternoon before finishing this concluding speech.

Don't look at Liu Cong's young age, but he has an open mind, advanced understanding, well-organized speech, concise language, and incisive arguments. In addition, during the three-day meeting, his words and deeds were serious, his demeanor was stable, his appearance revealed a steel-like firm will in his heart, and a superhuman domineering spirit was revealed from time to time, so when the meeting was basically over, officials at all levels expressed their sincere admiration for Liu Cong, and felt from their hearts that their little master Liu Cong would definitely be a promising politician, so they were all iron-hearted, respectfully prepared to go back to work according to the tasks assigned by Liu Cong.

It was Liu Bei and Guan Yu who privately stretched out their thumbs to praise Liu Cong at the end of the meeting every day. Liu Bei once whispered to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Jingzhou has hope, I can't imagine that my brother Liu Biao has such an excellent son." ”

Guan Yu squinted Danfeng's eyes and thought for a while, and said softly: "The future is terrifying." Cao Cao and Sun Quan were all busy in their own homes, but they didn't know that in the next few decades, their real opponent was in Jingzhou. Hehehe. ”026
