In the backyard of Jiangxia's Taishou Mansion, Liu Qi and Liu Bei still had the heart to discuss the economy and people's livelihood, but Jiangdong, which was separated by a river, was in turmoil.

The matter naturally has to start with Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, the governor of Eastern Wu, who returned to Jiangdong with some injuries.

Zhou Gongjin, who had disappeared for several months, reappeared, which immediately shook the entire high-level circle in Jiangdong.

Especially the Jiangdong family Haoqiang Group headed by the four surnames of Jiangdong, is very weak-hearted.

Of course, to say that they are afraid of Zhou Gongjin's might, it is simply impossible, at most it is just fear.

After all, it was a fire, burning hundreds of thousands of horses and horses of the Cao army, defeating the existence of the invincible Cao army, and the strength of the ability is beyond doubt.

Zhou Gongjin reappeared, obviously the injuries on his body were no longer enough to affect his normal movements, which caused some beings to have quite a headache.

The voodoo on the dark arrow turned out to be ineffective against Zhou Gongjin!

Some beings, impatient in their hearts, can't help but pass the responsibility on others.

The key is that Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, showed a posture of absolute trust in Zhou Gongjin, which is what makes some existences the most dissatisfied and even fearful.

Zhou Yu didn't need to go into battle shirtless, and directly confronted the Jiangdong family.

It only needs to promote the status of non-Jiangdong family officials and generals, such as Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Lu Su, Xu Sheng, etc., which is enough to make the Jiangdong family uncomfortable.

These, the Jiangxia Taishou Mansion, which is separated by a river, knew some of them through various channels, and Liu Qi was noncommittal about this.

Jiangdong is not chaotic, it has little impact on Jiangxia, it is better to cultivate internal strength and quickly improve Jiangxia's own strength.

However, he told Liu Bei, who left Jiangxia, about the turbulent situation in Jiangdong.

As for Liu Bei's reaction, or how he will behave, this is not something he can understand.

When Liu Qi returned to the Taishou Mansion, he got the news that his first general, Liu Pan, had arrived.

"Zijian has worked hard!"

After meeting in the flower hall in the backyard, Liu Qi said with a smile: "I heard that when Zijian was rectifying below, he did a lot of work against the local heroes!" ”

"Hey, there's no way to do it!"

Speaking of this, Liu Pan said helplessly with an unhappy face: "Some guys just want to beat more, so as not to have nothing to do!" ”

"Do you really think that without their cooperation, the Taishou Mansion will not be able to operate?"

Liu Qi laughed and said leisurely: "You don't need to take it to heart, it's just a bunch of clowns jumping off the beam!" ”

In recent times, in addition to developing the economy and people's livelihood, as well as standardizing and boosting commerce, the most important task of the Taishou Mansion is to establish a four-level military system in counties, counties and villages.

The military organization at the county and county levels is good for construction, after all, the foundation of the Taishou Mansion is there, and you only need to be careful, don't let the local heroes take advantage of the loopholes.

However, at the village level, the situation is quite complicated by military organizations similar to militias.

The so-called imperial power is not lower than that of the county, and the administrative power and judicial power at the village level are all in the hands of local tyrants and clans.

The establishment of a two-level military system in the countryside by the Taishou Mansion naturally moved the interests of local tyrants and clans.

If it is according to the past practice, the Taishou Mansion will hand over the two-level military system in the countryside to the control and management of local powerful and clans, there will naturally be no problem.

Obviously, Liu Qi is not so generous......

Don't look at the two-level military system in the countryside is inconspicuous, or even formally established, but it is a paramilitary force recognized by the Taishou Prefecture.

If the local tyrants are in control, they have money, food, and a legitimate army, and they will really become small warlords at the village level.

If one is not good, there may be a big tail, how can Liu Qi agree?

The Taishou Mansion refused to let go, and the officers sent to form a two-level military system in the countryside naturally had no better life.

As the commander of the Jiangxia Army, Liu Pan has been dealing with these affairs recently.

In order to shut up the dissatisfied local Haoqiang, he has often taken action in recent times to teach and suppress the dishonest local Haoqiang.

As far as Liu Qi knows, a few days ago, Liu Pan had a fight with a hidden master of a local tyrant family in the countryside.

Otherwise, the mainstream of the world at this time has become a powerful family.

However, a village-level hero can actually come up with a third-rate general-level master.

Fortunately, Liu Pan's strength is enough, and second-rate peak cultivation is nothing in a serious battle of princes, but it is still very easy to target a few village-level tyrants.

Not only Liu Pan, but also the soldiers of the county army who were assigned, there were also some good players, such as Wei Yan and Huo Jun and others, who were enough to the dissatisfaction of the local heroes.

It is also for this reason that although there is still some trouble in the local area from time to time, the four-level military system arranged by the Taishou Mansion is relatively well organized.

"Don't talk about these troubles, I don't know if you have any ideas for expansion?"

Liu Pan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Right now, our Jiangxia soldiers are full of food, and people's livelihood and happiness are a great opportunity to expand their territory and influence!" ”

"Expansion?"

Liu Qi glanced at Liu Pan and said with a smile: "I don't know Brother Zijian, where do you want to expand?" ”

"The four counties of Jingnan!"

Liu Pan was obviously prepared, and directly explained the target and smiled: "What do you think?" ”

"Tell me why!"

Liu Qi's heart moved slightly, and he chuckled: "The current situation is still relatively complicated, and it is not so simple to expand!" ”

"I know, at the moment, Xuande Gong's side occupies Xiangyang and Nanjun and other places, which is the essence of Jingzhou, and it is not possible to digest it in a short time!"

"On the Jiangdong side, with Zhou Yu's return, the inside is also turbulent and not calm. Even if they have any ideas, as long as we defend tightly and don't give them a chance, they don't want to take advantage of anything! ”

"Although the four counties of Jingnan are vast and sparsely populated, they are all a lot of land, which is just right for us, and it is not eye-catching to take down!"

Hearing this, Liu Qi nodded in agreement.

Time has changed, and Liu Qi also feels that it is not difficult for him to win the four counties of Jingnan, and it will not cause too many waves.

In normal history, the reason why Liu Bei took the four counties of Jingnan was that there was no way.

At that time, he sent people under the fence, and could only survive by relying on the snort of Jiangdong, and he desperately needed a piece of land to gain a foothold, and it was the best choice to look at the four counties of Jingnan.

Again, the four counties of Jingnan at this time are not only vast and sparsely populated, but also have a very harsh environment.

The most important thing is that the Han and Yi live together, and very fierce conflicts will break out from time to time.

In fact, after Liu Bei won the four counties of Jingnan, he did not spend much energy on development and governance, but waited for the opportunity to jump out of the barren land of the four counties of Jingnan.

Right now, Liu Bei controls Xiangyang and Nanjun, the two core essence regions of Jingzhou, and he has no heart or energy to control the four counties of Jingnan, and obviously he doesn't care about Jiangxia County taking the Jingnan territory......
