Tian Chou's proposal seems to have nothing to do with solving the affairs of Guanzhong and Liangzhou, but in fact it grasps the key.

Because of the problem of food, Liu He was temporarily unable to move westward, and Bingzhou, Guanzhong and Liangzhou were in chaos for a long time because of the competition between Yuan Shao, Li Dao, Ma Teng, and Han Sui.

After some discussion and deliberation, Liu He finally decided to set up a new state in the north of Bingzhou, with Jiuyuan City as the center, and the name was "Ningzhou".

The easternmost part of Ningzhou is bounded by Zhenhu Mountain, the westernmost point is bounded by Jilusai, and the south is bounded by the connection between Dachengsai, Guluocheng, Wuzhou and Juyang, and the north is temporarily borderless, unless a new state is set up in the north of Ningzhou in the future, that is, after the Hu people in the north are completely eliminated.

To the south of Ningzhou, in addition to the continued existence of the state, Liu He established a new state, and the name was not "Yongzhou", but "Qinzhou".

The northern boundary of Qinzhou is the southern boundary of Ningzhou, the eastern boundary of Qinzhou is bounded by the hundreds of miles of the Yellow River flowing down from north to south, the western boundary of Qinzhou is based on the Yellow River channel from Fuping to Linrong and the connection line from Fuping to Sanshui to Gaoping, and the southern boundary of Qinzhou is the Qinling Mountains running east-west.

In the northwest of Qinzhou, it is still Liangzhou, but the specific territorial division has undergone major changes from the original Liangzhou. After the rezoning, Liangzhou will have a large area of grassland and Gobi originally occupied by the Xianbei and Qiang people in the west between Tushenze and Xiutuze and Juyanze in the north, while the south will be bounded by the Yellow River between Xihai (Qinghai Lake in later generations) to Huangshui and then between Yuzhong and Fuping.

In the south of Liangzhou and the west of Qinzhou, there will be another new state here, which Liu He designated as "Longzhou".

The northern boundary of Longzhou is the southern boundary of Liangzhou; The eastern boundary of Longzhou is the western boundary of Qinzhou; The southern boundary of Longzhou is bounded by Minshan and Shushan; There is no border to the west of Longzhou for the time being, unless in the future all the Qiang people on the western plateau are cleared up, and a new state is established further west.

In addition to the new establishment of Ningzhou, Qinzhou and Longzhou. Liu He also decided to abolish the division of Jingzhao Prefecture and establish Chang'an City with Lishui, Weishui, Zhushui and Qinling Mountains as the boundary, with the same administrative level as the prefecture, and the highest governor of the city as the governor, who was directly appointed by the central court to be in charge of military and political affairs in the municipalities directly under the central government.

In the future, if cities were to be established in Jicheng, Tancheng, and Jiangling in turn, the governors of these municipalities could be called the Governors of the North Road, the Governors of the East Roads, the Governors of the West Roads, and the Governors of the South Roads, and as for the Governors of Luoyang, the central capital, the titles of Jingzhaofu and Henan Yin could be merged. It was reverted to the traditional title of Jing Zhao Yin.

Although Liu He's package of prefecture and county division adjustment plans was very large, the places involved were not within the territory of the big warlords Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Sun Jian, and there was already a precedent for the establishment of Liaozhou, so even if Liu Yu proposed it in the court, the resistance would not be too great.

With the addition of three state official hats all of a sudden, coupled with the position left by Zhu Jun, the ministers in the court will only focus on the specific selection of personnel, and few people will care about the deep meaning of such a division adjustment.

Liu He did not move the southern part of the state for the time being, nor did he move the situation around Luoyang. What he really cares about now is Ningzhou, as for the candidates of Qinzhou Mu, Liangzhou Mu, Longzhou Mu and Chang'an Governor, they are just bargaining chips between the imperial court and several warlords in the northwest, even if they are now stolen. Liu He will also take it back one by one with his big fists in the sand bowl in the future.

The choice of the Ningzhou Governor undoubtedly fell on the head of Du Ji, the governor of Jining, and the army to defend Ningzhou had already begun to be established months earlier, and it was the Yue cavalry guard created by Zhang Liao in the northern part of Bingzhou. Before the Yue cavalry guards have not fully formed their combat strength, the Xiao cavalry guards of Youzhou will assume the responsibility of protecting Ningzhou.

The governance of Ningzhou was selected in Jiuyuan. In later generations, it was an important place for the distribution of goods to the north of the Saibei, and its name was Baotou. As a state in transition from farming to nomadism, Ningzhou's geographical location is actually no worse than other states. In addition to being colder in winter, because it is in the south of Yinshan Mountain, and it is in the horizontal position of the Yellow River, so from Linrong to Tongtong on both sides of the river for nearly 700 miles, there are not only large areas of fertile fields for the people to cultivate, but also high-quality pastures for cattle, sheep and war horses.

If Du Ji can manage this area of the south of the Yangtze River well, there will be a steady stream of caravans to traffic grain, cloth, medicinal herbs and goods produced in the south here, and then buy all kinds of livestock products and livestock from here and transport them back to the south for the people to eat and use.

Without waiting for the official decree of the imperial court to be promulgated, Liu He sent people to Jining to inform Du Ji and ask him to immediately start the creation of Xinzhou. Liu He told Du Ji that while the displaced people had not yet returned to their hometowns, he should try his best to encourage the Han people who had fled from the south to settle down in Ningzhou. What Ningzhou lacks most at present is not money, food and land, but the Han population, if a large number of Han people can not be allowed to settle here, then it will not be able to form an effective occupation, and after a few years, this land will still fall into the hands of nomads.

In order to attract the people around Jining to settle in Jiuyuan, Du Yi offered extremely favorable conditions: all Han people who were willing to settle in Ningzhou could get a thousand acres of grassland and 200 acres of fields, and these pastures and fields could be inherited by their children, and no one could annex or encroach on them. Each family is not required to pay any taxes to the government for the first five years of settlement, and after five years, the tax is collected as appropriate, up to a tenth of its own production.

After this notice of recruiting displaced people was posted, it immediately caused a sensation around Jining, and tens of thousands of Han Chinese responded to Du Ji's call and were willing to move with him from Jining to Jiuyuan.

In order to make the people more at ease, Du Ji also invited the Yue cavalry guards who had just been a little bit to escort the people to relocate, and the people saw that the soldiers were as strong as tigers and wolves, and the war horses were tall and strong, so they thought that the Yue cavalry guards were invincible divisions like the Xiao cavalry guards, and everyone's hearts were more down-to-earth, and they were no longer worried that they would be invaded by the northern Hu people after going to Jiuyuan.

The Vietnamese cavalry guards who were undergoing hard training saw that the people along the road regarded them as guardian saints, and a sense of pride and responsibility suddenly formed in the whole army. Although this unit has not yet experienced the baptism of battle, at least it understands who they are fighting for.

Du Ji led a part of the people to Jiuyuan, and the governor of Jining was served by Sun Li's fellow villager Ma Tai. As an important hub connecting Ningzhou with Youzhou, Jining Duweicheng will only expand in scale in the future, and will not become depressed and decayed due to Du Ji's departure.

After another period of time, the weather had gradually warmed, and the official document finally came from Luoyang, and the imperial court set up Ningzhou, Qinzhou, Longzhou, and Chang'an almost completely in accordance with Liu He's plan.

The selection of Ningzhou Mu must be in accordance with Liu He's intentions. Naturally, it is none other than Du Ji, and the court does not ask about the candidates for Zhizhong and other drivers, and completely leaves it to Du Ji to choose by himself. The imperial court was also very active in the establishment of Ningzhou, after all, if a barrier controlled by the Han people could be built in the north of Ningzhou, it would also be very beneficial for the safety of the Jingshi. Even Emperor Liu Xie showed great enthusiasm for this matter, and most of Ningzhou's territory was located in the area traditionally controlled by the Xianbei people, and now it was under the rule of the Han Dynasty, which was enough to comfort the temple.

The candidate for Qinzhou Mu, the imperial court selected Zhu Jun's son Zhu Hao. Completely ignoring Yuan Shao's feelings, Chiguo gave Yuan Shao a slap in the face. Zhu Hao previously held the position of Taishou in Wu County, and because of his existence, Jiangdong Sun Jian was always embarrassed to attack Wu County. And Yuan Shu had no way to take Wu Jun during his lifetime. With Zhu Hao's qualifications and age, it is reasonable to serve as the governor of a state, but what he wants to take over is the Guanzhong land occupied by Yuan Shao. And after he left Wu County, it was also a question who would take over as Taishou.

Liu Yu, who has rich experience in political struggle, still did not disappoint his son this time, and he transferred Zhu Hao from Wu County back to Jingshi at the same time. At the same time, he also appointed the candidate for Wujun Taishou, who was Chen Deng, who was born in the wealthy family of Guangling! Guangling County and Wu County are separated by a river, and the Chen family's fleet is now everywhere in the East China Sea, which is not inferior to the Mi family, the richest man in the East China Sea, and the Sun family in Jiangdong. The Taishou of Guangling County is Chen Deng's son Chen Jue, and now the imperial court has promoted Chen Deng to the position of Taishou of Wu County, which is clearly to make the Guangling Chen family a piece of anti-collision mat between Xuzhou and Jiangdong. When Zhu Hao was in Wu County, Sun Jian's father and son were not good at Wu County, and after Chen Deng took over Zhu Hao's position, Sun Jian's father and son were still not good at Wu County, unless they wanted to completely tear their faces with the Guangling Chen family.

The candidates for the pastor of Longzhou, the imperial court selected Zhu Jun, and deliberately even decided on Zhizhong and Beijia, respectively Guo Yan and Wang Fang. The imperial court is currently unable to run Longxi, and instead of watching the counties of Longxi being plagued by the Qiang and Di people, it is better to completely hand it over to Li Dao. Li Dao got this appointment, it can be regarded as turning a new page, although Longzhou is small and not very rich, but it is also a foundation to settle down, as long as Li Dao himself does not die, even Liu He is not good to attack him directly.

The candidate of Liangzhou Mu, the imperial court selected Ma Teng, the ruler was Han Sui, and the other driver was the scribe Chenggongying. Ma Teng and Han Sui are accustomed to working together to fight against external forces, and at the same time, they will fight a few times in the nest from time to time, and the imperial court will throw Liangzhou to these two ambitious "Erwuzai", the intentions are actually very insidious, it depends on whether Ma Teng and Han Sui can figure it out.

The candidate for the governor of Chang'an, the imperial court selected Huangfu Song's eldest son, Huangfu Jianshou, which was the result of Emperor Liu Xie's special fight for Taifu Liu Yu. Although Huangfu Jianshou was still trapped in Hedong, he was the hero who escorted Liu Xie out of Chang'an, and he was the mastermind who secretly let Liu Xie go, so he deserved to be praised and promoted. Two generations of Huangfu's father and son have guarded Chang'an City, and it is well deserved to let Huangfu Jianshou serve as the governor of Chang'an, the high position of the pastor of the same state.

This edict of the imperial court was published in the original text of the "Dahan Times", so it will not be long before everyone in the world will know about it, including Yuan Shao, who is sick in bed, and Lu Bu, who is trapped in Anyi. (To be continued......)
