Chapter 154: Liu Bei Arrives in Person

Liu Bei came in person, which Zhang Xi did not expect.

Although I know that Liu Bei is eager to be virtuous, but. Isn't this too much to give Lei Xu face.

And Lei Xu, after seeing Liu Bei coming, was even more moved, and knelt down on the spot, thinking that he had finally found a master.

Liu Bei naturally helped himself up, comforted him, and then asked Zhang Xi to prepare and accept the more than 20,000 people brought by Lei Xu.

As for the 3,000 personal armies brought by Lei Xu, Liu Bei still handed them over to Lei Xu, and he had no intention of depriving Lei Xu of his military power.

After doing all this, Liu Bei and Zhang Xi, as well as Zhuge Liang who came with him, discussed things behind closed doors.

It turned out that Liu Bei really didn't come because of Lei Xu, but just by coincidence, he caught up.

Liu Bei came here for Zhang Xi's affairs in the eastern part of Jiangxia, but Zhang Xi's movements were a bit big, which made Liu Bei a little uncomfortable in Wuling.

Although Zhang Xi is a county governor of Jiangxia, it is indeed within his scope of authority to do these things.

But I can't stand some old ministers writing to Liu Bei to complain.

Because Zhang Xi had already explained the importance of resettlement of displaced people in Jiangxia in the document to Liu Bei, Liu Bei himself was very supportive of Zhang Xi's land division measures, and ignored the letters of these old ministers, which can be regarded as showing his attitude in disguise.

But Zhang Xi did these things, which scared Zhuge Liang a little, if it is not handled well, it will cause a lot of internal problems.

Zhuge Liang also supported Zhang Xi's initiative, mainly because he was afraid that Zhang Xi would not be inexperienced, or that he would not be able to plan things simply and easily, so he still persuaded Liu Bei to go to Qichun and Xia Pheasant in person.

First, help Zhang Xi stand on the platform and warn those old ministers who are greedy for enjoyment that now is not the time for Ma to put Nanshan.

Second, this is to help Zhang Xi take a look, check and fill in the gaps, in case Zhang Xi goes too far and offends some people who shouldn't be offended, Liu Bei is in Jiangxia, these people don't dare to be too presumptuous.

As a result, Liu Bei had just taken a boat to Xiakou and was telling Guan Yu about it, when Zhang Xi's urgent paperwork for Guan Yu arrived.

When Liu Bei heard that someone had come to him with tens of thousands of homeless people, he was overjoyed.

First, these tens of thousands of displaced people can allow Liu Bei to enrich a lot of people in an instant.

Second, the exiles of Lujiang did not vote for Cao Cao or Sun Quan, but they came to vote for him Liu Bei. Doesn't this explain his Liu Bei's personality charm and his Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness? !

The political influence is very strong, okay.

As for this group of people who came to divide the land, Liu Bei is not surprised, there is no benefit, who wants to come to you.

Since then, Liu Bei has been more supportive of Zhang Xi's land division initiative, and hurriedly bid farewell to Guan Yu, took a boat down the river, arrived in Qichun City, and gave Zhang Xi a platform.

When Liu Bei came, Zhang Xi's heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

Looking at Liu Bei and bringing Zhuge Liang again, what else is there to say, you can shake the pot.

What kind of existence is Zhuge Dada?!

Chen Shou dared to criticize Zhuge Liang militarily, but in terms of governance, Chen Shou said that he was no less than Xiao He, and even Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, was Zhuge Liang's little fan brother in this regard.

As soon as Zhuge Liang came, Zhang Xi immediately threw the pot to Zhuge Liang, you are good at this kind of thing, you should come.

Zhuge Liang didn't shirk it, he took it directly, and then pulled Zhang Xi to analyze it all night and wanted to throw the pot, but there was no door, so he helped together.

Then, Zhuge Liang made a series of decisions.

First of all, the tens of thousands of displaced people brought by Lei Xu cannot stay in Qichun and Xiapheasant.

God knows if there are any fine works of Cao Wei or Dongwu in the middle, and the two places of Qichun and Pheasant are very close to Jiangdong and Lujiang, so they can't be allowed to take root here.

It just so happened that Zhang Xi said in his report to Zhuge Liang a few years ago that there was a serious shortage of people in the three northern counties of Jiangxia, and there was not enough manpower to build water conservancy, so send these people over there first, stay for a while, and screen them.

As for the division of land between Qi Chun and Xia Pheasant, Zhuge Liang has also studied Zhangxi's resettlement strategy, and there is no big problem in general, at most, the resettlement of some villages is not very reasonable, and it is a little far from the water source.

But this is not a big problem, if it has been allocated, it will not be moved, and it will be troublesome to move.

The villages that have not yet been allocated have been slightly adjusted to reduce the distance between villages, and through some water conservancy facilities, water resources can naturally be shared.

On the whole, there is no major problem with the resettlement and distribution of Zhang Xi, and some of the strategies used by Zhang Xi in clearing and measuring the land are not major problems. In addition to making some old ministers dissatisfied.

But it's impossible to do everything, and you can't do it for fear of offending people.

Now Zhang Xi has not offended people who should not be offended, and as for some people like Liu Yan, they can't turn up tricks at all.

However, Zhuge Liang finally wiped Zhang Xi's buttocks, took Zhang Xi to visit the small families in Qichun and Xia Pheasant, and personally wrote a letter to his father-in-law, telling him that Zhang Xi's approach was just an emergency, not that Liu Bei wanted to suppress the family, which completely solved the matter.

When cleaning up the nobles, you also have to consider the feelings of the family, this fish scale atlas is essentially an inventory of the land, how can the family not be sensitive to this.

Therefore, what should be appeased, it is still necessary to appease.

It's just that Zhuge Liang, the second or fifth boy, just wrote such a letter to his father-in-law, and when he turned his head, he began to discuss the matter of the fish scale atlas with Zhang Xi, thinking about promoting it in the four counties of Jingnan.

And Zhang Xi also didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and directly put forward the idea of the armor protection system and the enslavement of the yellow book.

The fish scale atlas is to clear the land, and the armor protection system is to ensure local stability and strengthen the power of imperial power, and the yellow book of enslavement, which is to check the population and guarantee the taxation of people.

None of these three things will reassure the family, and any of them will be strongly repelled by the family.

Zhuge Liang suddenly began to be entangled.

If these three systems can be implemented, then the government's control over the local government will be greatly enhanced, and public opinion will not be what the family wants to say.

Most importantly, these three policies complement each other to quickly clear land, inventory population, and strengthen the central government's control over local governments.

It can be said that it is a very good policy.

And the shortcomings of these three policies are also obvious - the Maison will definitely not accept them.

If the family accepts such a policy, how can they annex land, hide the population, control public opinion, and hoard wealth.

If Liu Bei really implements these three policies, then the family will definitely give up Liu Bei, even many civil and military officials under Liu Bei's current account will probably leave Liu Bei, and these territories that have been built up with great difficulty will also be easily annexed.

But such a good policy was given up like this, and Zhuge Liang was a little reluctant.

After thinking about it all night, Zhuge Liang had no good idea, so he could only ask Zhang Xi to pay attention to secrecy, and don't say it first, so as to arouse the vigilance of the family.

As for these three strategies, the fish scale atlas can be made in Jiangxia, then the four counties of Jingnan, where the family's strength is also weak, should also be able to do so, and this can be used first.

There are two left, and when Liu Bei's forces stabilize and when they are mature, let's talk about it.

Zhang Xi looked at Zhuge Liang's cautious virtue, and finally chose to accept it, but he didn't say "changing the land and returning to the stream" and "the official gentry pay grain in one".

There are a lot of barbarians or leaders of Shanyue around the four counties of Jingnan, and when they are fine, they often rebel or something, if they change the land and return to the stream, then it will really make the four counties unpeaceful.

It is even more difficult for the officials and gentry to pay food in one piece, Zhang Xi himself is a person who does not pay taxes, if this is proposed, even if Liu Bei is benevolent and righteous, in order to calm the anger of the public, he will have to "kill Zhang Xi with tears".

Therefore, not all policies are suitable for all dynasties, and the specific situation has to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

However, Zhang Xi's first three proposals still gave Zhuge Liang some ideas, some things are not suitable, but if the situation changes, or if it is modified, maybe it will be suitable.

Anyway, Zhuge Liang is to Zhang Xi, the more he looks at it, the more pleasing he feels.

This guy, although he sometimes seems a little impatient, can finally distinguish the light and the heavy, and is much more stable than the big-faced plate.

That big-faced plate, really. It's hard to put into words.

Before, he first asked the lord to take Chaisang and ask for the mouth of the oil river, such a dangerous situation, this thing actually said that "if you don't take risks, you won't make a big deal".

Sun Quan, who had lost money, did not break the covenant, and took the opportunity to attack, and the lord finally returned to Wuling unharmed.

Now it's even better, this product actually gave the lord a plan, and asked the lord to send people to conquer the Shanyue and barbarian kings around the four counties of Jingnan, and enrich Dingkou and troops with barbarian soldiers.

Truth be told, it's not a bad ploy, but you score the situation.

Now that the four counties of Jingnan have just convinced the rule of the lord, it is time to recuperate and develop.

The reason why the lord has been running around all these years is not because he does not have a stable territory.

Now that you finally have such a large territory, if you don't consolidate your rule and develop the place first, where will you get the money and food to fight?!

When the development of the four counties of Jingnan matures, there is no need to send troops, and those barbarians will also take the initiative to vote, and when the time comes, they will be appeased, and they will be used by me when necessary.

Why bother to mobilize the people to conquer and suppress, if the conquest is unfavorable and delayed, the four counties of Jingnan will be on fire everywhere, and there will be no peace.

The current lord does not lack troops, but strength, population, and money and food, all of which must be developed slowly before they can be accumulated.

That Pang Shiyuan, after all, he was too eager to do things.
