After a whole day of quarrels, bickering, and passing the buck to each other, Liu Bei's three-year plan for Youzhou was completed by the counties.

Each county has its own harvest and its own difficulties.

For example, the Yuyang County Guard and the Liaoxi County Guard had a lot of quarrels, and the Shanggu County Guard and the Zhuo County Guard also had some contradictions with each other.

They both think that the number of Ueda in their respective jurisdictions is small, and the number of Nakata and Shimoda is large, and they both want to have less share and less responsibility, and when they quarrel, it is more ugly.

So the angry Xiahoudun blushed, slapped the table on the spot and roared angrily, asking them not to lose face in front of Liu Bei.

Get the data! Data! Solid data! Whoever quarrels again, the share is his!

Xiahoudun's temper is still quite good, this is all angry, and Liu Bei also thinks it's funny.

It seems inevitable that bureaucrats will shirk their responsibilities and blame each other at any time.

But they can all be reconciled, and in front of the emperor and the assassin, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

Therefore, although the counties still have some ideas in the back, the specific responsibilities are still implemented.

However, Youzhou is especially in Liaodong County, Xuansu County and Lelang County, the three counties are actually not under the control of Xiahoudun, so they cannot be counted in the entire development system of Youzhou.

On this issue, Xiahoudun expressed concern.

"If these three counties do not listen to the announcement for a long time, and are not in the overall plan for a long time, there will be some troubles for future development, how do you think this problem should be solved?"

"Gongsun Du is still a relatively honest person, right?"

Liu Bei said slowly: "I heard that he has recently launched a strike against Goguryeo, this is what I entrusted to him, if he does it well, I think it can be observed after effect." ”

Xiahoudun was still a little worried.

"Having said that, but the three counties of Liaodong are completely for the sake of Gongsun Du's poor army and military existence, the minister heard that every household in the three counties of Liaodong has to send men to join the army to fight with him, and the strong men are drawn too much, so that agricultural production has been delayed a lot.

Whenever the three counties were short of grain, Gongsun Du would use the wealth obtained from the war to buy grain in Liaoxi County, or cross the sea to Qingzhou to buy grain, and did not report to the state government in advance, so that the price of grain in Youzhou rose from time to time, affecting people's livelihood. ”

"Doesn't he ask the Youzhou Prefecture for food?"

"I also ask for food, but while asking the state government for food, I also have to spend money to buy more food, so the minister suspects that he has a plan, and asks His Majesty to find out."

"That's ......"

Liu Bei thought for a moment, and asked Xiahoudun to feel at ease about government affairs and production, don't worry about these things, he will hand them over to Zhao to deal with.

Xiahoudun can focus on agricultural production, if Gongsun Du has bad intentions, the army he recruits is by no means vegetarian.

After the affairs of Youzhou were dealt with, the relevant news flowed out, and the government affairs teams of each state learned the emperor's basic requirements for each state.

They learned that the emperor was very concerned about local administration, and that the entire one hundred and eight counties of the Han Dynasty would be taken out by him alone for in-depth and detailed discussions with the county guards and state ministers.

From the number of acres of land and the number of acres per mu of the local area, the number of fields in the upper fields, the number of fields under the fields, the number of water and dry land, as well as the main agricultural products, how many peasant households, Haoqiang, as well as local specialties, minerals, and so on, ask from beginning to end.

Answer well, answer quickly, then the emperor will be very happy.

If an official could not answer the relevant question, the emperor would change color, angrily reprimand the official, and immediately punish him, either demote him or dismiss him altogether.

So the officials were more cautious, and some officials with illusions turned white, and hurriedly made up for the relevant knowledge overnight, hoping that they would not be reprimanded and punished in front of the emperor.

With the unlucky egg "Zhuyu in front", when Liu Bei and other state and county officials held meetings and conversations, there was no one who couldn't answer the question he wanted to ask, and Liu Bei was very satisfied.

Basically, every state and county will be put forward by him more specific requirements, and relatively speaking, the difficulty of achieving it is not small, which is a great test for officials.

However, Liu Bei didn't think it was difficult at all.

Judging from the current level of agricultural development in the Han Empire, except for a very small number of areas that have indeed developed into a bottleneck state, the development state of most areas is quite limited, and some modern traditional agricultural areas still maintain a considerable amount of undeveloped wasteland.

Just like a person with a large weight to lose weight, as long as he keeps his mouth shut and opens his legs, it is very fast to lose the scale for a period of time at first, but once it reaches a bottleneck period, if you want to lose the scale, you need a relatively long and painful persistence period.

The level of agricultural development of the Third Reich at this time was in this rapid period, as long as the policies were correct, the officials were effective, and some time was given to recuperate, then it was normal for agricultural production to develop rapidly, and it was abnormal for the development to be not rapid enough.

Liu Bei's standards for the bureaucrats are also the result of careful calculations by the cabinet, and they are by no means difficult, if they can't even meet this requirement, then Liu Bei will decide that these guys are completely unqualified to enter the next era with him.

Roll up, get out, don't waste my political resources and money here, generous welfare benefits will only be given to the right people, and worms will never enjoy such treatment.

Only those who can withstand these tests and succeed in achieving their goals can be regarded as excellent officials who can follow in his footsteps and lead the Third Reich to develop the productive forces step by step.

The empire needs to develop, so it can't tolerate too many insects lying on the empire to suck blood, and he must clean up these insects.

From the second day of the first month of March in the first year of Zhenguan to the end of March, Liu Bei basically talked about the issues that should be discussed with the officials of the fourteen states and one hundred and eight counties, and the chief officials basically met Liu Bei and knew what Liu Bei looked like and what his governing style was.

And Liu Bei also looked at them all familiarly, basically remembered the names of these people, understood their governing style, and had a preliminary understanding of their knowledge and cultural level.

It is worth mentioning that in this month or so, Liu Bei directly dismissed a state assassin, a county magistrate, and a state minister, except for Zhu Fu, the other two were dismissed because they failed to answer the questions Liu Bei wanted to ask.

As the governor of a county, he can't even know the basic situation of the county, so why should he govern a place?

Even some people are obviously memorizing information, and they still have some bumps in their backs, but as long as the general numbers are correct, Liu Bei can barely tolerate it and give it a chance.

But these two people are not at the head of a bull and can't even memorize some of the most basic things, and they don't know what they know about the upper fields and middle fields in their respective jurisdictions, the distribution of paddy fields and dry fields, and the number of agricultural livestock.

This made Liu Bei very suspicious of how they got into this 2,000-stone position.

How could there be such a fish that slipped through the net under the condition that he repeatedly ploughed the ground with such a high frequency?

It can only be said that there are still many dirty things in this world that Liu Bei has not cleaned up.

At the end of March, after the government affairs meeting was basically over, Liu Bei found Lu Kang, Qiao Mao and Zhang Miao, and talked to them about the next thing to promote the Dutian Order.

The other governors are all close associates of his Liu, and it is politically correct to follow his steps, and it is a political mistake not to follow, and there is absolutely nothing to say about winning them, but these three people had a political alliance with him before.

So what should be said is still to be explained.

"The Dutian Order is about to be promoted, I'm afraid it will cause some shocks in the local area, Lu Envoy Jun shouldn't have any entanglements, I don't worry about the promotion of the Dutian Order in Yanzhou, but I'm still a little worried about Yuzhou and Jizhou."

Liu Bei looked at the rich Zhang Miao, and then at Qiao Mao, who looked embarrassed.

"If there is a difficulty, just say it, I can help you solve it, just solve it, Jiangbei Dutian is imperative, if even our top level can't act in unison, there will definitely be chaos, and when the time comes, the army will inevitably kill, I don't want to see this thing."

Looking at Liu Bei's compassionate attitude, Zhang Miao and Qiao Mao's hearts sank, and they didn't feel good.

However, Qiao Mao made a quick decision.

"The Qiao clan does have a lot of land and property, but His Majesty's requirements, the Qiao clan must follow them, if anyone dares not to follow, the minister will not let them go!"

Zhang Miao hesitated for a moment, sighed, and nodded.

"Your Majesty's worries are understood, but the minister is not an unreasonable person, if Your Majesty is worried, it is the minister's dereliction of duty Zhang has followed Your Majesty for many years, and I want to continue to follow Your Majesty in the future."

"Well, that's for the best."

Zhang Miao and Qiao Mao's statements made Liu Bei more satisfied.

And Lu Kang is obviously not satisfied with such a situation.

"Your Majesty, although Wu County is located in the south of the Yangtze River, if Your Majesty has an idea, the minister is willing to give it a try for His Majesty, according to the requirements of the Dutian Order, the land in the south of the Yangtze River can slightly increase the number of acres of land, so the minister thinks that it may not be so difficult to promote the Dutian Order in Jiangnan."

Liu Bei knew that Lu Kang wanted to show himself ruthlessly, realize the corner overtaking of the Central Plains scholars and Liu Bei's old department, and lead the Lu family to go further.

Although he is not disgusted with this kind of enterprising spirit, he already has a specific plan, and since he has it, he will not change it rashly.

He smiled.

"I understand what Lu Envoy means, but this matter is not as fast as possible, and at that time, the entire Hebei, Central Plains and Guanzhong will not know how much chaos will happen, so Jiangnan will let it go first, and it can also give some people a little hope, so as not to make them despair.

And Jiangnan may need more wasteland development than Dutian, if someone is willing to go to Jiangnan to open up wasteland, how can I refuse? Lu Envoy, don't be impatient, in this matter, the future is long. ”

Liu Bei's smile was a little meaningful, Lu Kang tasted the meaning of this, closed his mouth rationally, and never said anything related again.

The progress of the Lu family takes time, and if you simply want to overtake in the corner, it is estimated that other forces that have followed Liu Bei for a long time will not be happy, and the road cannot be too outstanding, so as not to become the target of public criticism.

So, just do your job well.

As for the Jiangnan affair......

Lu Kang decided to push the Lu family to become the first family in Jiangnan to take the initiative to apply to the imperial court for the realization of the provisions of the Dutian Order.

Anyway, according to the provisions of the Dutian Order, Wu County is also a part of the remote state, and there are preferential taxes, which are different from other places, and if you want to promote it, you will not face too much resistance like the Central Plains.

And even if there is resistance, Lu Kang intends to forcibly break through it.

Just kidding, this is a good opportunity to impress Liu Bei, if you miss this opportunity, when will the Lu family go further?

The first political congress of the Third Reich ended here, and Liu Bei did not let the officials return immediately, but took them with him to participate in the spring plowing activities of the imperial court.

Before he was busy with the meeting, Liu Bei postponed the usual spring ploughing activities, and now that the conference is over, he just took the officials to carry out the spring ploughing activities together, and Liu Bei himself brought the royal family members to participate.

A group of people marched to the farmland outside the city of Luoyang and symbolically carried out a morning of agricultural production.

Although this is a political performance, even if it is a performance, it is very meaningful, at least it can show that the Son of Heaven and the courtiers are very concerned about agricultural production, and the symbolic meaning is greater than the practical significance.

And in order to show themselves in front of Liu Bei, some officials who really know more about farm work are called energetic.

However, some officials from well-off backgrounds who really do not know much about agriculture can only secretly watch how other officials operate, and do what they do.

But farm work is really a technical job, ordinary people have never done it, and they really don't know how to get started, they are all nonsense, they are half tired to death, and the ground has not been cut much.

In the final analysis, how to swing farm tools is also particular.

Some delicate and expensive officials flashed their waists before they did a few blows, and they really couldn't support it, so they could only be carried away with great shame and worry in Liu Bei's contemptuous eyes.

"The four bodies are not diligent! There is no distinction between grains and grains! Farm tools won't work! With such an official ruling the world, I'm afraid that the country will be torn apart in a few years! ”

Liu Bei scolded fiercely on the edge of the field in front of all the officials.

This scolding didn't matter, and the officials around it were scared to quickly bow their heads and work bravely, for fear that the emperor would find out that they didn't know how to produce agriculture, and then follow in the footsteps of those unlucky guys.

After a morning of tossing, many delicate and expensive officials were tossed to death or alive, but at noon Liu Bei did not provide them with any better food, that is, pure wheat rice and some pickled vegetables, the tube was full, the water pipe was enough, and the rest was gone.

That is, I was tired enough in the morning, and a group of people saw that there was something to eat, and they didn't pick it, and devoured it for a while, which was regarded as calming the stomach of the strong protest.

Then he announced that after the lunch break, he would come to agricultural production for another hour in the afternoon to have a good experience of the hardships of the peasants' production.

The officials wailed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say much, because Liu Bei himself also took his trouser legs and took his eldest son and second son to carry out agricultural production together, and he did no less than them.

The emperor himself took the lead, how dare they not use force?

So when the sun was at its most poisonous, a few officials even fell down in dizziness.

Liu Bei looked at this situation and shook his head, and finally let go of the remaining officials and let them pack up and go back to Luoyang City to take a bath and rest together.

Then, Liu Bei didn't continue to toss them, and finally announced that they were ready to leave for their place of work.

Many officials breathed a sigh of relief for this, feeling that they had finally survived this experience.

However, just as the officials were about to set off and return, on the second day of the fourth month of the first year of Zhenguan, the privy envoy Xun You suddenly came to the table and asked Liu Bei to allow him to lead a part of the Yingchuan Xun clan to settle in Henan County, Sili Prefecture, and set up another Xun clan to officially separate from the Yingchuan Xun family.

Public opinion in the government and opposition was in an uproar.

And what is even more surprising is that the day after Xun Yu was listed, Emperor Liu Bei issued an edict, quasi.

Xun You was allowed to set up another Xun clan in Henan County, and Liu Bei rewarded Henan Xun with 5,000 acres of land and a part of the house according to Xun You's previous merits, and Xun You was the master of the redistribution within the family.

This combination punched most of the court in a daze, and even many people in the core power circle didn't know what the double reed sung by Liu Bei and Xun You meant.

However, they soon realized that this was probably related to the upcoming Operation Dutian.

Previously, the people in their inner circle had been asked not to oppose the Dutian operation.

They have sorted out their own problems, and are ready to cooperate with Liu Bei in the first wave when Dutian acts, so that Liu Bei can determine Dutian as politically correct at the first time.

According to the information they heard, in the inner circle, only the Xun family has not yet settled the affairs of the family, and it is said that it has fallen into a stalemate stage, and the internal disputes cannot be settled.

Xun Su, the head of the Xun family, is a mediocre person who doesn't know what to do in the face of a complicated situation.

The wise Xun Yuyuan was a assassin in Qingzhou, and he was unwilling to take coercive measures against the people in his family.

So the Xun family lost the last chance, so that Xun You decided to launch a self-rescue operation and set up another Xun clan to save the inheritance of the Xun family.

And in the eyes of many people, this basically announced the end of the history of the Yingchuan Xun clan.
