Early in the morning, a maidservant girl came to call Qiao Ren to discuss the matter. In the entire Jiangdong, except for Wu Guotai, there is only Sun Ce, the eldest brother. It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, and this is especially true for the sons of the Sun family. When Sun Jian died, even Sun Quan was only ten years old, and Sun Shangxiang and Sun Lang were only two or three years old. They were all raised by Wu Guotai himself, and Sun Ce pulled them. Therefore, in Sun Shangxiang's heart, Sun Ce's status is not lower than that of his father. In Jiangdong, if Sun Shangxiang is still a little afraid, only Zhou Yu is Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are friends of the general horn, and several children of the Sun family pestered Zhou Yu when they were young, and the elder brother shouted. In his mind, Zhou Yu can be regarded as half a brother.

By the time Qiao Ren arrived at the council hall, the room was already full of people. As far as the eye can see, there is a moment of handsomeness, and there is still a vacant position in the military general sequence after Lu Su, ranking the fourth position of the military general. Seeing Qiao Ren's arrival, Lu Su hurriedly beckoned Qiao Ren to come over and take his position, Qiao Ren was the last to come, but the newlywed Yan'er was pulled in early in the morning to discuss the matter, and everyone could understand.

As soon as Qiao Ren arrived, all the important tasks of this deliberation were completed, and Sun Ce, who was sitting upright, began to ask: "This deliberation is roughly discussed by me Jiangdong after the announcement, and you can speak freely. ”

While Sun Ce spoke, Qiao Ren also carefully looked at the members of this core meeting in Jiangdong. Among the Wenchen, the general Shi Zhang Zhao was in the first place, followed by Gu Yong, the chief bookkeeper, Zhang Hong, the chief servant, the chief servant, Yu Hong, the counselor, the doctor Yu Xuan, Sun Shao, the general of the five officials, and Xue Zong. The generals include Zhou Yu, the general of the Dadu Governor's Protector Army, the rebellious general Sha Taishou Sun Quan, the military general Lu Su, the Fuyue general Qiao Ren, Zhuge Jin, who joined the army, and the Fenwu general Lu Meng, who read history books diligently, and the Fenwei general Lu Fan. As for Cheng Pu and Han Dang, two veterans with outstanding wisdom and strategy, one did not come because he wanted to guard Lujiang and the other to guard Lingling, but Huang Gai was sick and was absent from this meeting.

Sun Ce finished speaking, and before everyone could answer, Sun Ce continued: "Now that our army is strong and strong, will we go west to Jingzhou or north to Huainan?" Sun Ce's meaning is one sentence: where to hit first! Originally, according to Lu Su's couch, it should be: the Han family cannot be revived, and Cao Ying cannot be eliminated. For the general's plan, the only way to stand in Jiangdong is to watch the provocation of the world. There is no suspicion of such a scale. Who? The north is honest and multi-tasking. Because of its many affairs, he eliminated Huang Zu and invaded Liu Biao, which was extremely popular with the Yangtze River, according to it, and then built the emperor to map the world, and the cause of this high emperor was also.

But now Sun Ce occupies three states, and 200,000 people with armor row the Yangtze River and govern themselves, while Cao Ying is still in Hebei to fight against Eryuan, and this year he has a quarrel with Wu Huan, and it is difficult to calm down in a short time. Now it is the time when his heart is empty, and it is also a good choice to raise troops to Xu Luo in the north. This is exactly what Sun Ce thinks.

But Zhang Zhao's words took away the tone of the whole meeting: "The lord forgives the old minister's bluntness." Now the new people of Jiaozhou are unstable, and the army has been conscripted continuously for three years, and the burden on the people in the administration is quite heavy. And the consumption of grain is huge, and now the grain and grass in the counties and the main public warehouses are empty, not to mention the march to Xuluo and even the conquest of Shanyue There is no grain and grass. "It's not that if you don't fight, you won't eat, but the farther the army marches, the longer the grain route will be, and the more food will be consumed during transportation. This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang was always short of food during his Northern Expedition.

As soon as Zhang Zhao's voice fell, Zhang Hong also came out and said: "That's right. I returned from Xuchang and saw that although there were not many soldiers and horses in the land of Xuluo, it was the elite of a hundred battles. And the good generals have it, and I am afraid that they will not be able to go down overnight. If our army is trapped in the Central Plains, Liu Biao in Jingzhou will attack and harass our rear, and I am afraid that we will lose. Although Han Qi is declining, the popularity is still there, and it is not a good plan to attack Cao Ying, who is threatening the Son of Heaven to make the princes. ”

Sun Ce thought about it, and said that as a long-time battle-hardened commander, he knew the importance of grain and grass. How much grain and grass there is in Jiangdong, he is still clear as the lord. Therefore, he asked: "If it is Annei, the princes have a plan." ”

There are not many strategies available in terms of internal affairs, but Sun Shao in the middle of the rule is out of the list: "When the minister looked through the household registers of the counties and counties, he found that the grain harvest in Xindu County had increased year by year in the past three years, which was comparable to that of prosperous places such as Wu County. And thinking that Xindu County is a mixed mountain and a sparse farmland, it must be the work of General Qiao to have such an achievement. "Sun Shao is in charge of the affairs of Cao, and no one is more familiar with the counties than him.

"Oh" Sun Ce was very surprised when he heard this, he had been to Xindu at that time, it was still a barren place, and there were Yue people, even if Qiao Ren broke through the mountains and moved more than 100,000 people down the mountain, enriching the household registration, but the grain production would not increase so quickly. "Ziyan has a clever plan?"

Qiao Ren didn't dare to slack off when he heard Sun Ce's question, and hurriedly came out of the ranks of military generals, but it was really strange to ask a person who was in the military generals to answer when he asked about government affairs. "Ren does not dare to take credit, this is the work of the people and subordinates of Xindu. But when it comes to increasing grain production, Ren uses three methods. One is to improve the tool, Ren in the year before in the county familiar with the old farmers together, improve a plough, the straight, long wheel to curved wheel, short wheel, and install the plough disc that can rotate freely at the head of the wheel, so that not only make the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also easy to turn around and turn, flexible work, now the new capital of a plough can be cultivated more than three times as much as in the past, a lot of manpower and animal power saving. ”

After speaking, he paused and waited for everyone to digest it a little before he continued: "The second is to quote good seeds. Ren went to the old trustee to bring a kind of rice seed from Jiaozhou, which is a good seed in the land of Linyi, which can be harvested three times a year and the yield is 50% more than the seed we originally used. The third is the reclamation of cultivated land. There are many low mountains and gentle slopes in Xindu County, and the people are made to open the mountains for fields, which look like stairs, one by one, and there are ridges on the edge to save water. Linghan is full of fields, layer by layer to the top, so the name is called: terraced fields"

I have to say that Qiao Ren suggested it and shocked these Wenchen in the late Han Dynasty. Even those who are good at internal affairs only know how to persuade farmers and farmers to cultivate land. Most of them are macro-level control, and they are not so detailed. Especially Sun Quan, the Changsha Taishou, is even worse, and the huge Changsha County is far worse than the grain production of Xindu County.

Sun Ce, who was at the top, didn't want Qiao Ren, to be too guarded, but he was quite qualified, and laughed and said: "Unexpectedly, you Qiao Ziyan not only has a set of wars, but also governs the people well." Okay, after you come down, you will write down these three methods in detail. Loneliness tried in other counties. ”

"The lord is wise." For a time, everyone in the hall was praised.

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded, Ziyan said how should I reward you?" Sun Ce made a funny expression on his forehead with his left hand.

However, Qiao Ren knew that it was enough for him to be a general of Fuyue and lead the new capital too much at a young age, and if he rose too fast, he would be hated by others. However, Sun Ce obviously didn't give Qiao Ren time to shirk: "Then give you a place in Shi'an as a fief." "I see, Fengyi! However, Qiao Ren was obviously not happy because of the extra fiefdoms, because he knew that the feudal system and the Fuke leading army system were a great harm to Eastern Wu, because they continued to strengthen the strength of the family and weakened the power of the central power of Eastern Wu. However, now Qiao Ren can't oppose it face to face, the power of the family is not something that the current Qiao Ren can contend with, and the current Sun family is also one of the families.

Sun Ce's reward is over, but the appointment is not. Instead, he continued, "Besides." Qiao Ren, the general of Fuyue, moved to the new capital and guarded the Chinese army, led the Chinese army to move to Jianye, and moved Changsha to guard Sun Quan as the new capital. Sun Ce's move did not mean to suppress Qiao Ren, but Qiao Ren's newlywed marriage wanted him to stay in Jianye for a while longer.

Qiao Ren thought in his heart that he would transfer Sun Quan to Xindu, so he was afraid that he would learn to handle internal affairs and govern the people! After all, Qiao Ren's own way has formed a system in Xindu.

"Lone decided to divide Changsha County into three counties."
