Chapter 954: Kong Rong decided that Sun Shao would go north

Beihai Pingshou, in the side room of the official yamen, Kong Rong was talking to Wang Xiu and Sun Shao, and the reason why Kong Rong came to Sun Shao was because of a letter from Fang Zhiwen.

Kong Rong looked at Sun Shao's eyes and raised from the letter, and asked with a little curiosity:

"How is it, Changxu, what do you think of Zhiwen's suggestion?"

Sun Shao was silent, Fang Zhiwen's suggestion is not a trivial matter, in the letter, Fang Zhiwen hopes that Sun Shao can go north to Fengning to serve as Fengning Taishou, as a party Sun Shao naturally has to be cautious, Fengning Taishou is indeed a very good position, at least better than the nominal position of Qi Guoxiang, not to mention that Fengning is still one of the places where Fang Zhiwen started, so it has always been in the hands of Fang Zhiwen's henchmen.

It can be seen that Fang Zhiwen's invitation can be said to be very sincere, but for Sun Shao, this matter is not only related to his own future, but also to the future of his relatives and clansmen, so he must be cautious.

Fang Zhiwen ostensibly asked Sun Shao with Kong Rong, but in fact, Sun Shao had not analyzed the possible situation in Qingzhou and even the Central Plains in the future, and the implication was that he would persuade Kong Rong to go north to work together, but now Kong Rong is not in a hurry to decide, before Zhang Bao's forces are destroyed, there will be no danger in Beihai for the time being.

However, Kong Rong also felt that Fang Zhiwen's words were very reasonable, if he considered it for the sake of the people. From now on, the people of Qingzhou should be slowly transferred to Youzhou, otherwise when the war really starts, Fang Zhiwen will inevitably be overstretched if he has to resist the invasion of the enemy army on the one hand, and on the other hand, he will inevitably be overstretched if he has to transport a large number of people.

"My lord, my subordinates are also flattered by the importance of General Zhengbei, but this matter involves the interests of my subordinates, and my subordinates can't make a decision. Please forgive me. ”

Kong Rong stroked his beard and nodded, glanced at Wang Xiu, and said slowly: "Changxu, what do you think of Zhiwen's mention that from now on, we should start to transfer the population living in poverty and without their own land to Youzhou?" ”

Sun Shao straightened his body and replied thoughtfully: "My lord, General Zhengbei has recently opened two new counties of Goryeo and Changbai, both of which are vast and sparsely populated. There is not much land to cultivate, but there is not a lot of land, and the Goryeo Kingdom is a real land, and the people hope that as long as the water conservancy facilities are developed well, the cultivated area is very large. It's just that I'm a little confused, it is said that Xuansu and Liaodong, which have better conditions, and even Yuyang, Lelang and Fengning, still have the potential for development, why would the general of Zhengbei be in a hurry to annex Goryeo and Wofu? ”

Kong Rong nodded: "Yes, this official also has this confusion, even if Xuanwu is alone, it is enough to accommodate the population of the entire Qingzhou, not to mention that Liaodong is also very barren." What is Zhiwen busy with the crusade for? ”

"Maybe it's for fame?" Wang Xiu interjected, but Kong Rong and Sun Shao shook their heads almost at the same time.

"No, General Zhengbei is a very stable person, I don't think he will do this kind of thing to destroy the country and the clan for the sake of a little false name."

"Hehe, what is steady, he doesn't see rabbits and eagles, and he can't afford to be early! That's right. He wouldn't do anything good anyway zhiwen is a person who has a longer vision than most people so. Even if we don't understand why he did what he did now, he is still willing to believe that he did it for a purpose, or that in the near future, we will know why1

Sun Shao nodded, smiled and continued: "So, the problem now that General Zhengbei is that the territory is bigger, the population gap is also bigger, and more importantly, after annexing the two foreign races, it is necessary to use a large number of people to dilute the proportion of the local natives, otherwise, the speed of integration of these two races into my Han will be very slow, and the time will be delayed, which may breed some bad ideas." ”

Kong Rong nodded: "This official also understands that Zhiwen's enthusiasm for the population has never been weakened, and it will only get stronger and stronger, from whitewashing Guangling County, to now trying every means to entangle with strangers in Le'an and Qi Kingdom, Jinan, and buying people at a high price in Chengyang County, etc., these are all for the population, I am afraid that everyone in the world knows it." ”

"Yes, therefore, it is an indisputable fact that General Zhengbei needs population, so in his suggestion, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of planning for himself."

Sun Shao said tactfully for a long time, in fact, he just wanted to say that Fang Zhiwen's suggestion to Kong Rong was probably selfish. But how could Kong Rong not know this, from the first day he met Fang Zhiwen, Kong Rong knew what kind of person Fang Zhiwen was, no matter what you said about him, he was definitely not a good person anyway.

"Hehe, that's for sure, now the official doesn't care whether he has selfish intentions or not, but only from the standpoint of the local landless and poor people, to measure the gains and losses of this suggestion, Changxu thinks this matter is a good thing or a bad thing for them?"

Sun Shao glanced at Kong Rong respectfully, compared with Fang Zhiwen, Kong Rong seems so simple and simple, his mind is actually very easy to guess, as an official, what he cares about is the well-being of the people under his jurisdiction, all his thoughts are based on this, as a literati, he is a gentleman as a requirement, sincere and humble.

It is precisely because of this that Sun Shao hesitated about Fang Zhiwen's invitation, because he had worked under Kong Rong for a long time, and he was used to having a simple master, if he suddenly changed to a stronger master, he would inevitably have some gains and losses in his heart, and even some doubts about whether he could adapt to a stronger, smarter, and more complex master!

"If you look at this problem from the perspective of the people, I think this is a good suggestion, not to mention that you can get a free share of land when you go to Youzhou, and you can also get cattle, tools and seeds with interest-free loans, and you don't need to pay taxes on the output, and I heard that forced labor is only carried out in the winter when the farm is slack. All of this is undoubtedly a good place for the landless and poor people in Qingzhou, in fact, even if the adults do not implement this policy, there are many poor people who take the initiative to board the boat and go to Youzhou. ”

Wang Xiu smiled and said, "If the adults are bent on implementing it." The effect is definitely much better than the effect of Lord Fang's own efforts to recruit and publicize in various places. ”

"That is, the reputation and faith of the adults are still the most accepted by the people in Qingzhou."

Sun Shao and Wang Xiu's untraceable sycophants made Kong Rong very proud, as a magistrate, he can get the trust and acceptance of the people, this is the greatest reward for officials, and it is also the greatest sense of achievement, even if Kong Rong is fluttering for this, it is also the reward he deserves, and others can't envy it.

"So, Changxu's opinion is that it is feasible?"

"It works. Now Qingzhou is uneasy, the population on the periphery is gathering in Beihai, although Donglai County is relatively stable, but it is the world of strangers, and the people's trust in strangers is very low, so they would rather stay in Beihai and not go, and now the land in Beihai has been depleted Of course, this has a lot to do with the clan, but. It's impossible to snatch land from the world, right? Therefore, the situation of landless people gathering in the city cannot be effectively resolved. It is also an important issue for our governance, and in the long run, it may even affect local stability or exacerbate tensions between the poor and the people. ”

Kong Rong nodded: "That's true, so the Miyun family doesn't allow land to be bought and sold freely just to prevent the problem of too much concentration of land.1

"Perhaps, but it's hard to say whether this trick will be useful, whether it will form a government in the future to use land to suppress the people, and so on." Wang Xiu's speculation may not be unreasonable, but where in the world can there be a perfect policy?

"What Shuzhi said is very true. But I'm afraid there is nothing perfect in this world, and even the ancient Ida system finally collapsed. Therefore, the focus of the system is not whether it is perfect, but whether it can be continuously implemented and has been effectively supervised. ”

Kong Rong smiled, and the two subordinates gradually digressed, but Kong Rong didn't remind them. Instead, they let them argue with each other, and they listened with interest, anyway, everything that should be said today has already been said, and Sun Shao's opinion made Kong Rong make up his mind. decided to accept Fang Zhiwen's suggestion and move the willing people to Youzhou from now on.

.

Fang Zhiwen's letter to Kong Rong was sent before he set off for the Hero Invincible World, and when he received Kong Rong's reply again, it was already after he came back from the other world.

During this period, Kong Rong had already cooperated with Xu Shu and Duan Zhiran to gradually transfer the poor people stranded in the cities of Qingzhou to Youzhou, and some peasants and urban residents who lived in Qingzhou were also encouraged by this propaganda, and hundreds of people set off from the seaport of Duxian every day.

And these people, along with Xu Shu, Li Yuanzhi and Gao Shun captured prisoners and civilians from the battlefield, were enriched to Goryeo and Changbai counties, and made great contributions to the rapid naturalization of these two counties.

Although Sun Shao's decision was a little slow, under Fang Zhiwen's urging again, he finally chose to go north to Fengning to take up the post of Fengning Taishou and replace Zhen Yao as Fengning Taishou, and his family and clansmen were with him.

While he was still in Miyun, Fang Zhiwen personally went to Miyun South Pass to greet Sun Shao, and arranged for Sun Shao's family to settle down in Miyun, and personally led the cavalry to send Sun Shao to Fengning County to perform his duties.

As Sun Shao's family and clansmen gradually integrated into Miyun's life, they soon found that Miyun was a suitable place to live, and with the final support of his family, Sun Shao was able to integrate into Fang Zhiwen's bureaucratic system with peace of mind.

And after Fang Zhiwen invited the great god Jia Xu, he brought Sun Shao, a capable minister, and looked around, his family seemed to be already like an iron bucket, and next, Fang Zhiwen's focus would still be on things in the other world.
