Chapter 606: Breaking the Household
According to Liu Qi's orders, in addition to the daily training of the Jiangxia soldiers and the maintenance of order in Xiling City, where the Taishou Mansion is located, some of the men and horses led by Huang Zhong and Liu Pan alone were assigned to patrol and deter Xiaoxiao in the entire Jiangxia territory.
The effect is still quite obvious......
With the transfer of tens of thousands of county soldiers and township soldiers, Jiangxia counties with empty troops appeared, and naturally there was some chaos in public order.
The new system of county soldiers and township soldiers has not been established for a long time, which has caused some young people to go out to various tosses.
Liu Qi didn't mean to be angry, this is human nature!
Before, tens of thousands of county soldiers and township soldiers were sent to Liu Daer in one go, which was simply the result of going and not returning.
This was a big blow to the local heroes in Jiangxia, and they lost most of their strength.
As Liu Pan and Huang Zhong led the troops and intensified patrols, the signs of chaos that had just appeared in various places in Jiangxia County were quickly extinguished.
Liu Qi found some things to do for the local Haoqiang in Jiangxia, such as the government organizing the construction of roads and bridges, making gadgets such as soap and sugar to stimulate economy and trade, and setting up public and private schools.
Either it is beneficial to the development of counties and townships, or it is beneficial to families, or it is beneficial to some individuals.
In addition, the number of people on hand of the local heroes has decreased sharply, the control of the place has been loosened, and all kinds of strange things have appeared, attracting most of their attention to the past, and they have no heart to do it against the Taishou Mansion.
Liu Pan and Huang Zhong led the county soldiers to inspect the place, showing strong force, Jiangxia was very quiet, and there were really signs of Haiqing Heyan.
Jingzhou has not had a major war for many years, and the accumulated heritage is quite rich.
Liu Qi is not a stingy person, and he will not treat the wealth and resources owned by the Taishou Mansion as a hole card.
Whether it is road and bridge construction or other government-led projects, they are all hired on a wage basis, and there is no free labor.
This alone will win the hearts of the people!
That is, the time is too short, and the control of the Taishou Mansion over the local area is not enough, otherwise the living standards of the people of Jiangxia at the moment will definitely reach a level that is called the Han Empire.
After several worlds of experience, Liu Qi's level of governance of civil affairs can be completely proud of the entire Eastern Han Empire!
What Zhuge Liang, what Zhou Yu, and what two Gou have to stand aside.
That is, the timing is not right at this time, Jiangxia is facing the threat of Cao Jun, otherwise he can move his fingers casually, and he can bring Jiangxia's overall people's livelihood to a higher level.
So when Liu Bei came to Xiling County, where Jiangxia Taishou Mansion was located? What you see is a thriving faction? Orderly.
It seems that Jiangxia County is not threatened by the Cao army!
Busy farmers in the fields? Business travel on the road? The streets were patrolled endlessly.
There is no panic in other parts of Jingzhou, and there are no rangers who ravage the countryside? It gives a feeling of safety and comfort.
This made him have mixed feelings in his heart......
Isn't the current scene of the Jiangxia realm exactly what he has been pursuing?
Regardless of whether Liu Bei is hypocritical or not? But what did he do? It is an indisputable fact that he is very kind to the people.
It's just that, limited to the problem of origin and ability, I have not been able to handle the relationship with the local heroes.
Whether it was Pingyuan County at the beginning, or in Xuzhou? Is he quite kind of for the people? also won the hearts of the local people, but unfortunately the relationship with the local family was not harmonious, and in the end they failed to gain a firm foothold.
What is manifested on the outside is that the people under his rule are quite vibrant, but this is what makes it special.
Liu Bei has no political talents? The confidant scribes around him are also mostly prominent in their communicative skills? There are few great powers of governance.
It wasn't until Zhuge Liang joined that this shortcoming was plugged.
Don't want to? Liu Qi, a person with mediocre ability, was able to govern Jiangxia in an orderly manner.
Think of Liu Qi becoming Jiangxia too guarded for a few months? Is that even more rare? It really made him feel ashamed.
Got the news? Liu Qi took a few subordinate officials and stood at the main gate of the Taishou Mansion and waited.
Seeing Liu Bei and his entourage, he immediately stepped forward to salute, after all, he was an elder.
Liu Bei's attitude was naturally very kind, he grabbed Liu Qi's hand, smiled and was very close, and the words were the kinship of the two.
It's really funny......
In the hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty, there were so many clans surnamed Liu.
Liu Qi and Liu Bei, those are really relatives other than the eight poles.
Of course, Liu Bei was the emperor's uncle determined by the Han Emperor, and Liu Qi had no intention of denying it.
"The virtuous nephew has good skills, he has managed Jiangxia County in an orderly manner, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which makes my uncle very pleased!"
After entering the hospitality hall of the Taishou Mansion, Liu Bei sighed: "Since entering the Jiangxia realm, my uncle has seen a pretty good scene!" ”
These words are all sincere, so they are said very sincerely.
"Haha, Uncle Xuande is too modest!"
Waving his hand, Liu Qi said disappreliantly: "It's just to restrain the local heroes as much as possible and deter Xiaoxiao by force, it's not a powerful means!" ”
"The virtuous nephew's methods are already amazing!"
Hearing this, Liu Bei was really a little surprised, and said curiously: "Isn't the virtuous nephew worried about causing a backlash?" ”
He has had enough of the repeated hardships of the local heroes, and the loss of Xuzhou is because of the toss of the local heroes.
"It's just a trick to play and pull!"
With a chuckle, Liu Qi said calmly: "As long as Jiangxia doesn't have a powerful force that stands out, don't worry too much about their threat!" ”
"I don't want my nephew to have such means!"
Liu Bei still feels incredible, is the local Haoqiang so easy to knead?
glanced at this guy lightly, but Liu Qi smiled silently......
Differentiation and co-optation of these means, Liu Bei really has to do it with his heart, looking at the entire Eastern Han Empire, I am afraid that there are few people who can compare.
The key is whether Liu Bei is willing to let go of his body like he treats the people.
Another point, can we restrain Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two sworn brothers, or that there is a problem with the implementation of the local heroes.
Right now, Liu Bei has an existence like Zhuge Liang under him, and it is quite simple and easy to deal with local heroes.
However, there is no stable territory, and when the territory is occupied in the future, there will be no such thing as Xuzhou.
"Virtuous nephew, my uncle came here this time to ask what the virtuous nephew thinks of the alliance Jiangdong?"
After laughing for a while, Liu Bei went directly to the topic and asked in a deep voice: "The current situation is very tense, and we must find a way to remove the direct threat of Cao Jun!" ”
"In this matter, my uncle is in charge, just follow Jiang Xia up and down!"
Liu Qi said with a smile: "For Cao Mengde, the little nephew is really not very sure!" ”
"That's great!"
Liu Bei's face was overjoyed, and he nodded: "I don't know how many troops can be taken out of Jiangxia's side, and how many elites are among them?" ”
The heart is very happy, Liu Qi, the nephew, is still very face-saving.
"The total strength of Jiangxia County is almost eighty thousand!"
Liu Qi didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Among them, there are 50,000 elites!" ”
"Why is the number of auxiliaries so small?"
Liu Bei was taken aback, and said curiously: "Isn't it the Jiangxia realm, and there are still strong places that are not satisfied with the virtuous nephew?" ”
"That's not it!"
Liu Qi said with a smile: "The main reason is that the combat power of the auxiliary soldiers is not good, and the little nephew doesn't plan to do more!" ”
Liu Bei nodded silently, and said leisurely after a while: "That's fine!" ”
After a while, he smiled and said: "However, Jiangxia's 50,000 elites have to be ready to go out to fight at any time!" ”
"Of course!"
Liu Qi didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "But it's not possible to act as the main force, and it is also possible to beat the side drum as a side response!" ”
"It's nature!"
Liu Bei unceremoniously agreed, Liu Qi's conditions were due to be right.
There are only 50,000 elites on Jiangxia's side, and if he fights with Cao Jun in one go, Liu Qi will not be able to sit in Jiangxia's position in the future.
If such a situation really occurs, it is not a good thing for Liu Bei.
Liu Qi's existence can be said to be the legal basis for Liu Bei's occupation of Jingzhou in the future.
Even arguing with Koto in the future is also a powerful reason.
Liu Bei didn't want Liu Qi to cooperate so much, so he easily achieved the purpose of this trip.
He was in a good mood for a while, if it weren't for the current tense situation, he would have to take a good look here in Jiangxia.
However, after all, he is a generation of heroes, and it is easy to restrain the distractions in his heart, and after discussing the matter of advancing and retreating together with Liu Qi, he hurriedly said goodbye and left before he even had time to eat a bite.
Liu Qi didn't think so, and asked Huang Zhong to lead 5,000 elite county soldiers to escort him, so that Liu Bei could be completely relieved: Jiangxia still has talents!
Sure enough, Liu Bei and Chen Dao, the commander of the guards around him, were taken aback by Huang Zhong, who was escorted, and they didn't want Jiang Xiajun to have a peerless general.
I was surprised and delighted in my heart, Liu Bei's favorite was actually a military general.
Don't look at him and invite Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain to assist, but that is a lot of losses and has to do it.
If you really want to talk about it, his ability to win over military generals is much better than absorbing Wenchen.
On the way back to Fankou, he naturally deliberately attracted his enthusiasm, not only for Huang Zhong, a peerless general, but also for the elite of Jiangxia under his command.
After all, the matter of the alliance with Jiangdong was irreversible, but he definitely did not want to become a vassal of the alliance.
If you want to do this, the stronger the strength in your hands, the better.
At this time, he had already regarded Liu Qi's Jiang Xia Army as his own hole cards.
If the Sun-Liu Alliance had already defeated Cao Jun at this time, and Liu Bei's reputation as the victorious side had risen rapidly, Huang Zhong might still look up to it.
After all, it is a prince who can overthrow the prime minister Cao Cheng who dominates the world, and the attraction is still quite powerful.
It's a pity that Liu Bei is a standard broken household at this time!
If it weren't for the support of Jiangxia Taishou Liu Qi, I am afraid that he would not even have a foothold.
In such a situation, if Huang Zhong, who is already the second-in-command of Jiang Xiajun, wants to switch, it is a dream, and it is impossible for it to happen.
Sent Liu Bei and his entourage out of Jiangxia safely, and after going back, Huang Zhong still took this matter and told it as a joke in front of Liu Qi, of course, it also meant to show loyalty......
