Ask for collection recommendations

－－－－－－－－－

Early the next morning, Tian Fan rushed to the state pastor's mansion.

When he arrived, he found that there were quite a few civil and military officials! In addition to Guan Yu, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Chen Deng, Chen Qun, Zhuge Jin, Sun Gan, Lu Su, Liu Ye and others around Xiapi, Jian Yong and Xiao Jian of Langya Kingdom, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yu of Guangling, Zang Ba of Peng Chengguo, and even Kong Rong came to persuade him to study. There's something big going on!

In addition to these people, there are three more! Chen Jiao from Guangling, Dai Gan from Danyang, and Xie Qi from Jiangxia, these three people are all talents discovered by the Zhaoxian Pavilion. The difference is that the first two were specially invited by Chen Qun after hearing about it, while Xie Qi really entered the Zhaoxian Pavilion and was later discovered. Xie Qi is good at farming, and after Chen Deng and Fei Wo's inspection and recommendation, he has now replaced Chen Deng and become Liu Beijun's general. Chen Deng came to Liu Bei's side to help Mi Zhu deal with government affairs. It is no wonder that now that Xuzhou has developed commerce, after the collection of commercial tax, Mi Zhu is not busy at all, and it is good to have Chen Deng's help.

Dai Gan and Chen Jiao are also very talented, but they don't have a suitable position to arrange them for the time being, so they have to follow Liu Bei as a staff member.

Liu Bei looked at the people in the hall, and his heart was full of pride, once upon a time, he only had Jian Yong under his command, and the martial arts were only closed, but look at the present, there are not many military generals, but Wenchen ...... He said, "Alright, let's get to the discussion!" ”

First of all, Mi Zhu summarized the achievements of the previous paragraph, mainly the tax situation. Generally speaking, it is very good, after adopting Tian Fan's new agricultural planting in the spring, it is now possible to see the benefits! The grain output has increased by at least thirty percent, and only the grain collected by the Tuntian army has been repaid, and the rest is enough for the Xuzhou army for a year! Yantian's output is very stable, the efficiency is very good, and in just a few months, the profit has exceeded the total income of Xuzhou in previous years. The revenue from the commercial tax is also very gratifying, especially from the brewing industry, which is expected to reach more than 500 million yuan a year from next year.

The autumn harvest and autumn planting have ended, and terraces are being built in various places, and it is expected to be able to get 100,000 hectares of fertile land, including 50,000 hectares in Guangling County, Langya can only get 10,000 hectares due to its small population and being located in the front line, 20,000 hectares in Donghai Kingdom, and 20,000 hectares in Xiapi Country and Pengcheng Kingdom. After it is put into use, the grain production in the first year is 3 million stones, and then it increases year by year, and after the fourth year, after all the raw land is cultivated and becomes cooked land, it is expected to produce more than 7 million stones of grain per year, and nearly one million stones of taxes can be levied.

The second battalion of craftsmen began production, the first batch of 1,000 repeaters has been completed, and now the second batch is being produced, and the super repeaters with all arrows are also being studied, but so far there is no clue. The production of catapults is also underway, with the first batch of 500 units expected to be completed in early December.

In addition, the soldiers have been training according to the new law for three months, and the results are very good! The most effective thing is the ability to cooperate and be loyal to Liu Bei! Originally, Liu Bei's army, Tao Qian's army, Zhenrong's army, and Zang Ba's army have all been completely integrated, and everyone is no longer separated from each other, and now there is only one lord in the hearts of the soldiers, which is Liu Bei!

In the happy smiles of everyone, Mi Zhu completed the summary of the work some time ago.

Liu Bei smiled: "Are you very happy?" The crowd laughed. Boguang, tell me about the alliance with Jingsheng! ”

Tian Fan nodded, and talked about the content of the alliance between the two parties, and also talked about the boatwright from the Cai family.

Liu Bei said with some emotion: "Boguang, every time I do something for me, I make you sacrifice a lot!" Prepared, deeply disturbed! ”

Tian Fan shook his head and said, "Lord, actually, hehe, who is my wine sold to?" If I don't delay making money, I can help my lord get things done, why don't I do it? ”…,

Tian Fan was right to say this, but he could exchange these conditions for greater benefits for himself, so Liu Bei was still grateful to him from the bottom of his heart. It's just that Tian Fan is such a person, he never takes credit, he doesn't care about rewards or anything, and Liu Bei doesn't say any rewards anymore.

The people in the hall had a good relationship with Tian Fan, and when they heard him say this, they responded with a kind smile.

Tian Fan continued: "Lord, there is one thing, I have been thinking about it for a long time, I don't know whether to talk about it or not!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Boguang has something to say!" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "That's right, my lord, since May, about 200,000 people have poured in from the East China Sea Kingdom, and with the previous nearly 500,000 people, it has reached more than 700,000!" The East China Sea Country has become a big county! And to the east of it, by the sea, where we built salt pans and a naval base, and where we will build a ship-building workshop. In addition, the East China Sea has the largest iron ore base in Xuzhou, and our army's demand for iron will be greater and greater! Therefore, the importance of the East China Sea will become more and more prominent! ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement. Indeed, the importance of the East China Sea is becoming prominent, and with the expansion of the navy, the expansion of the navy's warship workshop, and the expansion of the salt fields, its importance will become more and more obvious!

"So, if you want to do it, should you divide the East China Sea Kingdom into two counties to govern?"

As soon as Tian Fan finished saying this, everyone was stunned! Dividing a county into two counties is something that only the Son of Heaven can decide, and how can he propose it? But think about it, who will take the current Han Emperor seriously? is Liu Bei, who has always carried the banner of loyalty, but I'm afraid it's just talking!

But there are some things that you don't want to say, even if you know them!

Liu Bei was also a little hesitant, but out of respect for Tian Fan, he still motioned for everyone to be quiet and let Tian Fan finish his words.

"I know what everyone thinks, you may think I'm a bit Meng Lang! But the fact is that the current East China Sea Kingdom must be divided into two parts! One part is dominated by agriculture, and the other part is dominated by other industries! As for the matter of the Holy Decree, hehe, this is easy to do, as long as the Decree is requested, Your Majesty will definitely allow it! ”

For the last point he said, everyone had no objection, Liu Bei asked, "What is the division?" ”

Tian Fan said: "In the east, divide several counties along the coast that are not suitable for farming, and set up a special county with Shan County as the governing office, which will be directly taken over by the army, of course, the army is only responsible for the defense work, and this place is dedicated to salt pans, fishing, shipbuilding, and commerce derived from it!" Other areas remain unchanged, with Tan County as the governing place, mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry! ”

I have to say that Tian Fan's thinking is very good! Everyone also knows that there is a huge difference between being predominantly commercial and predominantly agricultural. Managing a business requires a good foundation in mathematics, after all, you have to deal with businessmen and money all the time. And in the agricultural area, any official who does not disturb the people can be managed.

Liu Bei looked at everyone and asked, "How is it?" What Boguang said, do you have any objections? ”

Everyone said that they had no objection.

The next thing to discuss is the details. After the military takeover, it will be mainly responsible for security and will not interfere in the internal affairs of the locality, which is the first condition. There is no need to find someone else, just let Liu An, who was originally in charge of the defense of Yantian, be responsible, and only need to deploy a few thousand soldiers for him. Anyway, I don't want them to fight, and those soldiers who have retired from the army reform can just be used.

As for the Taishou of the new county, this is a problem. Although the Donghai Kingdom is quite large, it was originally small in population, and after the old lady died when Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou, it was never set up again, but was managed by Xiao Jian, the minister of Langya. Now that the population is large, it is necessary to choose a suitable Taishou. …,

The right candidate is also ready-made, Dai Gan has morality, talent, and is in the prime of life, and can be appointed as the Taishou of the special county. Chen Jiao's talent is also good, and he has no position. But if Chen Jiao and Dai Gan are both reused, what about Xiao Jian, who has always been very well-behaved and obedient? Although he is the prime minister of Langya, in fact, there are Sun Guan, Yin Li, Jian Yong, Xiahou Bo and others in the northern part of Langya country, and he can be without him at all.

In the end, Liu Bei gave an order, the mainland part of the East China Sea was separated, the East China Sea State was established, and Xiao Jian was transferred to the East China Sea State Minister; The part by the sea, with Shan County as the center, set up Shan County, Chen Jiao (the word Ji Bi) is too guarded, there is a pottery businessman, Chen Jiao is only responsible for managing the order. Sun Guan is the minister of Langya, and Jian Yong is the long history. Dai Gan (the word Maoxian) did not have a position for the time being, and served as Chen Qun's deputy first.

Everyone is still very satisfied with this appointment!

Xiao Jian, Dai Gan, and Chen Jiao hurriedly thanked him and said that he would never live up to Liu Bei's expectations. Liu Bei happily helped the three of them up and encouraged them a few words.

After the three of them sat down, everyone congratulated them.

After everyone calmed down, Tian Fan said to Liu Bei: "Lord, there is still something to talk about!" ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Boguang, please speak!" ”

Tian Fan said: "Lord, do you remember the test field?" ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course I remember, Mo Fei Boguang has found a suitable candidate?" ”

Tian Fan said: "Lord, hehe, isn't this the strange father (Xie Qi) here?" "Tian Fan told Liu Bei in the past that he wanted to establish an experimental base to specialize in the study of various agricultural cultivation techniques, new agricultural equipment, and improved grain seeds, Liu Bei even kept the land, but there has been no suitable person in charge, so he has not taken action.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said to Xie Qi: "Yigong, are you willing?" ”

Xie Qi arched his hand in confusion and asked, "Lord, Qi is willing, but I don't know ...... this experimental field."

Tian Fan hurriedly explained the test field to him clearly, and after he listened, his eyes lit up amazingly! nodded again and again: "Lord, Qi has thought this for a long time, but he has not been able to implement it, and now the Lord Gonggong is Qi has a heavy responsibility, and Qi will die!" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly helped him up and said, "Hehe, it's good if the alien father is willing!" Well, I have already set aside 3,000 acres of land for you, you can go directly to Pu Mushroom to take over! ”

When everyone heard this, they all gasped! Pu mushroom is located about 60 miles southeast of Xiapi and 20 miles east of Xiapi County. This is an irrigation system built from the Warring States Period, taking Ju water as the water source, within a radius of dozens of miles in the whole Pumushroom Pi, the river canals extend in all directions, and the irrigation is extremely convenient. This place is the best land in Xuzhou, the ground is flat, the soil is fertile, coupled with the convenience of irrigation, the yield of grain per mu is higher than anywhere else, and it has always been the most desirable land for all Xuzhou people. Due to the high yield per acre of land, the land price here is also frighteningly high, which is twice as high as other places.

In previous years, the irrigation system was severely damaged due to successive wars, and it is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. But last year, when a large number of refugees poured into Xuzhou, Liu Bei focused on repairing the irrigation ditches here, and the prosperity it used to be restored was restored. Now I heard that 3,000 acres of land had been specially allocated for Pu Mushroom, and everyone was surprised! Generous, absolutely generous! From this point, it can also be seen that Liu Bei attaches great importance to the experimental field.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei's words made everyone's emotions come to a double heaven of ice and fire!

"Yesterday, I received a secret report that Cao Mengde is assembling troops!" , Liu Bei said!
