To be honest, along the way, Cao Cao has a lot of emotion.

He originally thought that Liangzhou, which had just ended the war, must be in a state of ruins and would be relatively depressed, but this was not the case.

"I thought that after the war, Liangzhou must be very depressed and there were many refugees displaced, but what I saw was that it was all in good order, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, everyone was cultivating the land, and many business travelers traveled to and from it, which was a prosperous scene.

When I was in Luoyang, I often worried that Xuande could not calm the chaos in Liangzhou, so it was difficult to calm day and night, who would have thought that Xuande was so capable, could calm Liangzhou, and also make Liangzhou prosperous, this is really far beyond my imagination, Xuande's talent, is the talent of Zaifu! ”

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei with envy and sighed: "But as long as I can have one percent of Xuande's talent and govern Wuwei County properly, I will be satisfied, and I will be able to comfort my ancestors." ”

Liu Bei laughed and patted Cao Cao on the shoulder.

"Meng De's talent is by no means limited to a county Taishou, now it is only limited to merit and qualifications, as long as Meng De is given enough time, a county, a state, why worry?"

Cao Cao didn't seem to have much confidence in this, and said that he could govern a county first.

He didn't think that he had Liu Bei's talent, he had never governed a county or a county, he was a state when he got started, and as a result, he governed this desolate and dilapidated state.

"Xuande Yunwen Yunwu, out of the general into the phase, will definitely go down in history!"

Cao Cao continued to speak enthusiastic words of praise, and Liu Bei, who listened to it, laughed again and again.

"The Cao Mengde in my impression is not a person who will say so many good things casually, why, is it possible that Mengde wants to slap up with his superiors and flatter him?"

Cao Cao also laughed.

"Xuande is the superior, and the subordinate officials please the superiors, so why not? I just hope that what I do will not live up to Xuande's expectations. ”

"Don't worry, Mengde, it's not difficult to govern a place well."

Liu Bei pointed to this vast land and said slowly: "Face the people of this land with sincerity and conscience, let them eat and dress warmly, and they will thank you for your kindness, and the rule of a county is nothing more than this." ”

"And how hard is that?"

Cao Cao sighed: "I don't dare to say that I will be able to govern a county well, I just don't want Xuande to regret recommending me to serve as the Taishou of Wuwei, it is enough." ”

"Mengde, I believe that my vision is not wrong, and I believe in you as much as I believe in myself."

Liu Bei said.

Cao Cao had nothing to say, and he didn't know what else he could say, so he could only hold Liu Bei's hand tightly, and secretly vowed in his heart to do his best to govern the local area, so as to repay Liu Bei's trust in him.

Cao Mengde is about to turn on all his firepower.

After that, Liu Bei took Cao Cao to many places, explained to him the key points of governance in these places, gave him some tips, and then asked Cao Cao if he needed the state government to provide him with some administrative talent assistance.

For assistance in this regard, Cao Cao immediately expressed the need.

This time Cao Cao set off, in addition to himself and his family and gifts, only some of the Cao family's guards followed him to take office.

With Cao's family environment, it is impossible to bring an administrative team like Liu Bei.

The Cao clan can pull up one army, or even several armies, which is not difficult for the Cao clan.

But if they want to pull up an administrative team, the characteristics of the Cao family determine that they can't do it, and their family's political foundation is relatively weak, and it is not even as good as Liu Bei, who has not been in business for a long time.

It happened that the Wuwei County Mansion had been purged by Liu Bei before, killing a few people and punishing several local families, and now there was a shortage of people in the county guard's mansion, so Liu Bei decided to select a few people from the state government to give Cao Cao as an administrative assistant, so that Cao Cao would not be unavailable.

The next thing is up to Cao Cao himself, he is here to share the difficulties for Liu Bei, not to increase the burden on Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei left Wuwei County, Cao Cao began to act decisively, he wanted to get familiar with the government affairs of Wuwei County in the shortest possible time, understand everything he had to do, and then immediately start to get started.

He has served as the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, Dunqiu Ling and other positions, and has a certain amount of experience in governing local affairs, and is by no means a political amateur.

So Liu Bei's confidence in Cao Cao is not without reason.

Liu Bei led Liangzhou to go farther and farther on the road of development, and it can be said that since the third year of Zhongping, the situation in Liangzhou has begun to make great strides in the direction of complete improvement.

As the foundation of everything, the collective farm policy that Liu Bei cared about the most also continued to develop under his strong promotion.

The initial instructor strategy played a big role.

Under the deterrence of the existence of the "instructor", whether it was a prisoner who had mastered the ability to send a body or a miscellaneous beard who could not distinguish between clans, they all honestly followed the people sent by Liu Bei in the collective farm to learn farming techniques.

Disobedient thorns will be executed in public and will not be tolerated as an example.

After that, Liu Bei transferred agricultural talents from his hometown in Youzhou to teach these prisoners the improved method of substitution, teach them the most advanced farming techniques, and hold various agricultural lectures from time to time to force these "talents" to listen.

After the initial frictional run-in process passed, the thorny prison talents gradually moved towards the serious farmers.

As long as you are not a pervert, as long as you are a normal person, you are still willing to pursue a normal life, and it is better to be able to obtain food in peace and stability to fill your stomach than to lick blood from the knife and exchange your life for food.

Moreover, for the collective farms, Liu Bei's various taxes were not high, and a series of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were abolished, leaving only some reasonable grain taxes, basically implementing the concept of "doing more and reaping more".

Moreover, under the organization of the collective farm, even if an individual is requisitioned and transferred out to work and errand, he does not have to worry that his share of land will be abandoned and will not be able to keep up with the progress of farming.

The concentration of collective strength was lower than the risk of small farmers, which greatly increased the survival rate, and over time, people who were not accustomed to it at first began to realize the benefits of collective farm production.

Starting from the earliest collective farms established in Hanyang County, the collective farms in the other counties gradually stabilized over time, so Liu Bei could also rest assured that the instructors with the smell of military coercion could be evacuated from the farms and returned to the army.

At the same time, the attributes that had belonged to the collective farm were also returned to the farm.

Liangzhou's border land is more suitable for this large-scale group production model, whether it is a tuntian or a collective farm, in essence, it is to concentrate on resisting risks, increasing the harvest and survival rate, and belongs to the wisdom of survival.

However, in terms of the mode of distribution, the model of collective farms is far superior to that of the highly exploitative model of tuntian.

Although the tuntian model is large in scale and has the flavor of collective production, the intensity of exploitation is extremely high, reaching almost half of the peasants' income, and in order to survive, it cannot be maintained for a long time, compared with the collective farms, which are very sustainable.

But that doesn't mean there aren't problems.

After a period of operation, the official in charge of the operation of the collective farm within the state government, the civil affairs secretary Zuo Xunyu, submitted a report to Liu Bei, mainly talking about some benefits and hidden dangers since the implementation of the collective farm policy.
