In the face of Liu Bei's use of strong force to force others to obey his actions, not to mention people in other regions, even those collaborators and allies in the Luoyang court who were very close to Liu Bei also felt a strange feeling.

During this period, many people gradually felt the heat of Liu Bei's power and realized Liu Bei's strong strength hidden under the humble appearance.

He is able to restrain his desire for power, but this restraint comes from his own heart, and it is difficult to say when it fails, when he becomes a dictator.

The powerful guys in the past were more or less a little floating, a little empty, and they were powerful in the Sili area, and their influence on the local area was limited, such as those eunuchs and generals in the past.

But Liu Bei is different, Liu Bei really has a strong influence and even execution both internally and externally, and his special identity makes him have a large number of protégés and former officials who must obey his orders.

It takes several generations for protégés to be all over the world, and Liu Bei took ten years.

This particular circumstance is something that many people do not expect.

Originally, they felt that leaning on Liu Bei's side was a kind of enjoyment, and Liu Bei, who held power, exuded a gentle and warm light, and they leaned on Liu Bei's side like people who lacked clothes roasting a fire by the fire, and they only felt warm.

But with the passage of time, with the in-depth implementation of the slave restriction order, with the crushing situation of Liu Bei's army against the local heroes, and with the action shown by the officials set up by Liu Bei in the locality, they gradually felt that the light emitted by Liu Bei's body became a little too dazzling and scorching, and the closer they got closer, the more they felt that the burning pain was unbearable.

More than one person sighed when communicating with others in private - is General Liu's power a little too strong?

The subtle political atmosphere permeated the city and beyond.

I don't know if I have a feeling for this, in order to appease the people who are afraid, Liu Bei made some profits from the series of lands obtained by exterminating Haoqiang.

He gave a wave of rewards to some of his cronies and bureaucrats who cooperated with him, gave them some land confiscated from the powerful people, and also gave them a wave of wealth.

This is in August of the second year of Jian'an, the implementation of the slave restriction order in the Sili area and the Bingzhou region was a great success, Liu Bei held a summary meeting in Luoyang for the implementation of the slave restriction order, and publicly rewarded the people who supported him and gave them a part of the land.

At the same time, Liu Bei also used the great increase in the income of the imperial court as the reason that Liu Xie, the son of heaven, raised the income of the officials in the Sili region, the Bingzhou region and the Liangzhou region, and increased the income by one and a half on the original basis.

What he meant was that this was a reward for the implementation of the slave restriction order, and as long as the slave restriction order was implemented well in the future, officials in other places could also be promoted and raised!

This approach attracted admiration from the government and the opposition, and everyone praised Liu Bei for "governing the country in a good way".

Then Liu Bei's attitude is also very clear, the people who help me are rewarded, and the people who don't help me are already three meters high, so everyone, what should I do when I implement the new policy in the future, do you understand?

Just when many people inexplicably felt that the light on Liu Bei's body was a little too hot, this wave of "rain and dew" made the ruling class reverse some of their views on Liu Bei.

After all, no one likes to fight against money.

They felt that Liu Bei might just be too arrogant to see the people under him, but he was still very good to scholars and officials, not only giving land to those who supported him, but also raising the salaries of all officials.

As a result, Liu Bei's prestige has been greatly improved, and the delicate political atmosphere has been swept away, becoming a worry in the hearts of a very small number of people, and it is no longer publicly mentioned.

With the successful implementation of the slave restriction order in the Sili and Bingzhou regions, Liu Bei played a set of combination punches, which made his power and prestige within the ruling class even higher.

On this basis, Liu Bei did not continue to toss in the entire second year of Jian'an, but dealt with the existing things with peace of mind.

He fought against Haoqiang in the Sili and Bingzhou regions, and devoted most of his energies to settling the 1.2 million freed slaves, the 400,000 mountain people of Montenegro, and the 150,000 Southern Xiongnu tribesmen.

Liu Bei mobilized a lot of resources, manpower, and transportation capacity to settle them in Bingzhou, Liangzhou and Youzhou, and added a wave of fresh blood to the three border states that lacked population.

According to the plan, this wave of supplements will make the registered population of Liangzhou exceed 1.8 million, the registered population of Youzhou will exceed 1.5 million, and the registered population of Bingzhou will also exceed 1.4 million.

For the three major border states with vast and sparsely populated areas, this is a great population reinforcement.

Liangzhou, which has the best construction of collective farms and infrastructure, is the most effective state to absorb the population, and hundreds of thousands of migrants have been properly resettled in five months, and the bureaucratic team in Liangzhou has put a lot of effort into this, which has been praised by Liu Bei.

By the end of the second year of Jian'an, the situation in Liangzhou had settled down, and the migrants had gradually started their new life under Liangzhou's perfect resettlement policy.

The advantages of Liangzhou's new policy are undoubtedly revealed.

Youzhou is also good, although it was not long after the war, and all aspects of construction were relatively difficult, but the hundreds of thousands of migrants absorbed were still properly resettled in five months.

Xiahoudun personally led the team to carry out the mission, and took the young officials in the state capital to run around, so busy that they couldn't sleep.

Born as a military general, he can only be said to be mediocre in terms of fighting, but the military characteristics of obeying orders and doing things with high efficiency and strong execution give him a special advantage when handling civil affairs.

Wherever there is turmoil, he will send troops to solve the problem, and where there is a cluster of epidemics, he will also send people to immediately carry out the quarantine policy to avoid the expansion of the plague.

He used the official slaves in the Youzhou area to repair a large number of infrastructures, which brought great surprises to the households that had just escaped from slavery.

Originally, they thought that this trip north was a death trip, but unexpectedly, the government made very full preparations for this trip to the north, some people were injured and sick along the way, and some people died, but the number was indeed very small, and most of them arrived safely in Youzhou and started a new life.

I have to say that the credit of this wave of Xiahoudun is indeed very great, so at the end of the year, Liu Bei also announced that Xiahoudun was promoted to the title, and named him the Marquis of Jianping County, with 3,800 households.

And for the most dilapidated merger states, the situation faced by Manpet is the most severe.

Because of the lack of manpower and the shortage of experienced bureaucrats, the pressure of the full favor is the greatest, he has the most things to do, and there are many emergencies to deal with.

But fortunately, the army of Guan Yu and the lead is there, so after thinking about it, he decided to use the power of the army to implement military management of the state.

The efficiency of the army is very high, and relying on military management, Manzhong was able to barely survive this wave of crisis of sudden increase in civilian households and maintain the order of the annexed state.

Of course, support from Ruoyang is indispensable.

Liu Bei transported sixty percent of all the grain raised to Bingzhou, and mobilized forces from Jizhou and Qingzhou to transport grain to Bingzhou, and also asked the salt interest groups around him to use large-scale transportation capacity to provide salt to Bingzhou.

Relying on sufficient food and salt, those households with different minds in Bingzhou finally survived this winter, without large-scale epidemics, freezing and starvation, and the most dangerous and most dangerous winter in Bingzhou, which is also the most dangerous winter.

After the spring of the following year, a large-scale collective reclamation and planting action was organized, and agricultural production began to become the mainstream of the state.

At this point, the situation in the state can be truly stabilized.

Outside the three border states, all the land acquired as a result of the fight against the powerful forces of the landlords was also taken over by the imperial court, and under Liu Bei's instructions, these lands were used for the construction of collective farms.

Relying on these lands, many places absorbed a part of the slave population on the spot and turned it into households in various states and counties in the Sili area, so that the population of the Sili area also increased by hundreds of thousands.

It is much easier to absorb this part of the population, and it is much cheaper to absorb and settle in place than to send it to the three border states.

During this period, Henan Yin Cao Cao settled more than 80,000 slaves in the Henan Yin jurisdiction, which was the largest number of slaves and the most outstanding political achievements in the Sili area, and was specially commended by Liu Bei.

Time has entered Jian'an for three years, and the full pet seems to have been sublimated, and the disposal of various things is orderly, and there is no longer a situation of being in a hurry, and he no longer cries and shouts to Liu Bei to ask for supplies, he is much calmer and calmer, and the whole person seems to be enlightened.

Liu Bei also made a finishing touch for the slave restriction order in the Sili region and the annexed prefecture, and announced that the slave restriction order had achieved good results, so the slave restriction order for the Sili region and the annexed prefecture at this stage came to an end.

The turbulent two years of Jian'an have come to an end.

At the end of the year, the officials of the Luoyang court, who were very tired because they were too busy, thought that Liu Bei would live in peace for a while, and would not do anything in Jian'an for three or four years, rest with the people, govern conservatively, and do not do anything out of the ordinary.

But Liu Bei is obviously not the kind of person they think likes to live a comfortable life.

Or Liu Bei also likes a comfortable life, but there are some prerequisites.

He is a person who can only be happy when his heart is happy, if his heart is not happy, no matter how idle his body is, he will not be happy after all.

The actions of Liangzhou, Sili and Merge have come to an end, but other places have not yet promoted the slave restriction order, and there are many, many slaves in other places who are working the land of slave owners!

For example, Yizhou.
