Chapter 170 Choosing a place to raise talents

"Han Ji Zhaowu Ji": "In the summer of the tenth year of Jian'an, Huo Jun broke Zhou Yu in Kaze, entered the siege of Wu County for more than ten days, and surrendered his power. Wu will be rich and happy, the emperor will buy wine and food, and take the gold and silver fields in Wu City to reward the soldiers. The emperor led half of the left half of the river, Huo Jun and Zhuge Liang were the left and right, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, and Zhao Yun were the minions, and Xu Shu, Zhuge Jin, and Bu Qi were the masterminds......"

Wu County is located on the shore of Kasawa, since the Spring and Autumn Period of Wu Kingdom, there is a city, there are many buildings since the past dynasties, and it is divided into the inner city and the outer Guo belonging. The river network inside and outside the city is dense, and the water and land transportation is very convenient.

Huo Jun led more than ten generals to enter Guo from Xumen and walk on Tantu Avenue. He left a tent for the sailors to enter the village of Fujiao Shuizhai to avoid disturbing the people in the countryside of Wu County.

Jiang Ji pointed to the word 'Xu Gate' on the city gate, and said with a smile: "Could it be that this is Wu Zixu's gate?" ”

In the past, Wu Zixu was sent to death by his husband, and left a last word for his heir to hang his eyes on the city gate, to see the destruction of Wu by the Yue State, so Jiang Ji thought that Xu Gate was named after Wu Zixu.

Lu Su looked up at it and said with a smile: "This is not Wu Zixu's gate, but Gaixu's gate." Gai Xu, the minister of King Shun, because of the merit in Wu, there is a temple in Kaze, so it is called Xu Gate. Wu people are often called Guxumen, and in the Wu language, Gu is the sound of dialects. ”

Zhou Yu was defeated, and Fujiao Water Village had already surrendered to Huo Jun, and Lu Su was also among them. Huo Jun knew Lu Su's ability, treated him as a guest, and then prepared to recommend Lu Su to Liu Bei.

"Gusu!"

"Guxu!"

Huo Jun muttered a few words in official dialect and said with a smile: "Wu Yu Soft Nong is different from Chu Yayan, and it has a bit of charm. At tomorrow's feast, the sons can listen to the joy of Wu and eat the fish of Kasawa. ”

"Kasawa's white fish is delicious and fresh, and I would rather remember it for a long time!" Gan Ning is also a person of pleasure, and said with a smile.

"Let's go!"

Today, Huo Jun's purpose of entering the city is very simple, and he brought everyone to Wu County to participate in the celebration banquet held by Erliu.

Today, more than ten days have passed since Sun Quan's surrender, and under Sun Quan's surrender, Cheng Pu, Quan Rou, and He Qi surrendered, Jiangzuo's troops were taken over, and the counties of Wu County surrendered immediately.

Then, Liu Bei followed Zhuge Liang's suggestion, took the city treasury to reward the soldiers, and distributed wine and food to appease the soldiers in the army. The internal and external problems have been solved, Jiang Zuo has been pacified, and Er Liu decided to reward the lieutenant general and colonel of the army and give him gold and silver fields.

When Huo Jun entered the city, Liu Bei was discussing important matters with several henchmen.

"Today, Kejiangzuo, we are temporarily living in Wu County, but this is not a long-term solution. Although Danyang County governs Wanling, it can also govern the counties of Yishan, taking into account the place in the south of the Yangtze River. But it is difficult to shield the two counties of Wuhui and protect the land on the left side of the river. ”

Liu Bei sat on the couch and said, "Do you think that if you are elected, you can not only take care of Danyang, but also block Wuhui and the second county?" A certain consulted Zhong Miao, and Zhong Miao thought that Jingkou and Moling could be ruled by General Zuo. ”

Xu Shu, who rushed from Yuzhang to Wu County, said: "Shu went down the river, when the boat passed Jinling, I saw that it was near the river and controlled the mountain. If the lord wants to become a hegemon, he can govern Jinling. ”

After a pause, Xu Shu said in a low voice: "The former first emperor patrolled to the southeast, and when he heard that Jinling had the spirit of the Son of Heaven, he changed his name in anger, and then called Moling. ”

Liu Bei's eyes flickered a few times, and he was silent, just watching the movements of his subordinates. Everyone was happy, talking about Moling.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while and said: "Whether it is Moling or Jinling, it is not a place for the lord to live. ”

"Huh?" Liu Bei cast his suspicious gaze on Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said: "Jinling, there is a saying of the Son of Heaven, and there are many people who know it in ancient times. The lord was jealous of Liu Jingzhou, and now he has moved to Jinling, training soldiers and horses, if someone has a heart to slander, I am afraid that it will make Liu Jingzhou difficult to feel at ease. Lord, in the bright view, it is better to live in Jingkou. ”

"Jingkou, the point guard Dantu waterway, up to Jianghuai, down to Wuhui, water and land convenient. Its city is strong, built on the mountain, and it is for danger. ”

"Now Cao Cao has leveled Hebei, if the lord wants to compete with it, he needs to accumulate grain, recruit troops and train soldiers, build a city, and use the power of Wu Chu to block the enemy in Jiangbei. Therefore, Liang thought that the lord should govern Jingkou, show his deferential heart, and show himself as a barrier for Wuhui. ”

Nodding, Liu Bei said: "What Kong Ming said is not unreasonable, although Jinling is good, it is not something that can be lived. Jingkou can not only take care of Danyang, but also barrier Wuhui two counties, and was elected as the county governor. ”

Liu Yan thought about wealth and nobility, and said with a smile: "Lord, most of the soldiers in our army are from the north, far away from the countryside, not like the generals under the account of the eldest son. ”

"Huh!"

Liu Bei saw what Liu Yan meant, and saw that everyone had such thoughts, and said with a smile: "You have been preparing from north to south, and you have been fighting Jiangzuo for several years. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yun, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke and said: "Lord Qi, in the former Han Dynasty, Huo Quai's illness was useless and useless, and Emperor Xiaowu rewarded him. Today's thieves are not only the Huns, but Cao Cao, and there is no way to seek peace. When the world is peaceful, we dare to discuss returning to Sangzi and returning to the farm. ”

"The people of Jiangzuo today, who were first attacked by the soldiers, were displaced, and had no intention of farming, so they should be allowed to return to their fields and houses, so that they can live and resume their jobs. The household registration has been completed, and it can be transferred from the army, or paid taxes, so that it can win the favor of the people of Danyang. ”

As soon as Zhao Yun said this, everyone present looked at each other and was displeased.

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows slightly, took everyone's looks into his eyes, and looked at Zhuge Liang again.

Zhuge Liang comprehended the meaning, arched his hand and said: "Qi Yu Lord, Wei Shuo's words are very reasonable, all the civil and military have followed the lord for many years, left their hometown, made countless contributions, and deserved a place to live." But General Zilong's words are also loyal and patriotic. ”

"The layout of Jingkou City is the place where the soldiers are stationed. Now it is a place to govern, and it is better to repair the house and let the civil and military live there; Jiangzuo is sparsely populated, and it has been rebelled, and the mulberry field has been abandoned, and there are few people to lead it. It's better to choose the borderless land and share it with the soldiers. ”

Don't look at Liu Yan and Zhao Yun looking at the problem of the field house, in fact, Liu Yan wants Liu Bei to allow them, the meritorious ministers, to encroach on the fertile land of the people of Jingkou, and then turn the people into their tenants.

After all, none of the bureaucrats themselves went to the fields to cultivate the land, and a large number of tenants and slaves took care of the fields. Therefore, land annexation will inevitably be accompanied by the embezzlement of population and the concealment of taxes.

The historical Shu Han regime, starting from entering Shu, the Yuan Cong and Jingzhou generals, who lacked foundation, did their best to serve Shu Han, but they actually became evil dragons. When the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed the Shu Han Dynasty, all the officials of Yuan Cong and Jingzhou were moved away from Shu, and tens of thousands of households were actually relocated.

Zhao Yun heard what Liu Yan meant, and as a member of Yuan Cong, he naturally knew that Liu Yan was fighting for their interests, but he didn't want to accept it. As he said, these people could organize their households, pay taxes, and send troops to fight. If they encroach, these people will become their tenants, to the detriment of the whole.

As the ruler, Liu Bei naturally agreed with Zhao Yun's opinion, but Liu Bei also knew that Zhao Yun's opinion was only his own idea.

You see Liu Yan, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Xue Yong, Shiren, which of these people don't want to get rich. Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, as Liu Bei's angel investors, went bankrupt, invested in marrying their sisters, and were displaced.

As for Zhuge Liang's words, they are just to ease the views of the two sides. built houses for them, and distributed acres of unowned land to temporarily meet the needs of Liu Yan, Mi Zhu and others. In fact, they essentially need tenants, slaves and maids to work for them in order to satisfy their demands.

Liu Bei's expression was gentle, and he said with a smile: "At the beginning of Danyang, farming was wasted, and the people were allowed to return. Now that the gold and silver have been issued, the house will be built, and you can live in peace for the time being. If there is a shortage, you can find Kong Ming, the branch of the treasury. ”

"Thank you, Lord Rende!"

After another little talk, the crowd retreated, and the door was closed. There were only a few people left in the hall, and Huo Jun came out of nowhere to say hello to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Xu Shu.

After greeting a few people, Liu Bei said again: "Although Sun Quan has surrendered today, there are many old ministers of the Sun family. Sun Quan could not live in Wu County for a long time, and he and the eldest son wanted to move the Sun family to Xiangyang, but they were afraid that the old ministers of the Sun family would not want to. How? ”

Xu Shu stroked his beard and said, "Moving all the Sun family to Xiangyang may be mean." It is better to move Sun Quan and his family to Xiangyang, and leave Sun Ce's son Sun Shao in Wucheng to appease the hearts of Sun's former ministers. ”

After a pause, Xu Shu explained: "Sun Shao is young, so there is nothing to worry about. and his age, Shao wants to be chaotic, Jiang Zuo has been peaceful, and he can be calmed down with a wave of his hand. Sun Quan, looking at his appearance, has a heroic style, he is not a mortal, and he cannot be kept. ”

Huo Jun pondered for a while and said: "The old ministers of the Sun family, such as Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi, cannot stay, and it will be chaos if they stay for a long time. Cheng Pu indiscriminately killed hundreds of surrendered soldiers, Zhu Zhi had Wu County Taishou and fame, the two were the ministers of the Sun family for three generations, loyal and loyal, and moved to Xiangyang with his family. Where the righteous son is like Zhu Ran, he changed his surname to Shi. ”

When the Jiangzuo Water Division was destroyed, Cheng Pu's sergeants heard the news and gathered hundreds of people to defect to Jingzhou, but were unexpectedly captured by Cheng Pu. That night, the news that Sun Quan had asked Cheng Pu to surrender also reached the army. Cheng Pu ignored everyone's pleas and killed hundreds of people in anger, which can be described as ruthless.

This kind of old minister of the Sun family does not dare to use it, and staying in Jiangzuo is destined to be a disaster, so it is better to throw it to Xiangyang.

"What about Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said: "Jiang Zuo Erzhang, although he received Sun Ce's old favor, he has a noble reputation and a noble temperament, and it is difficult to do despicable things. The lord and the eldest son can respect the two sheets, let the two of them repair the classics, and raise them with celebrities. ”

After a pause, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The name of Erzhang, even that Cao Cao wants to be an official." The lord and eldest son must not be taboo and do not use it, and they can be treated with a false name. As for the rest of the old Jiangzuo people, the lord can recruit Qingxu Shiren as officials, and set up a recruitment hall to recruit Jiangzuo Shiren. ”

Second, in addition to dividing up counties and counties, Liu entered Jiangdong and also had problems with the division of talents. Zhuge Liang thinks that for a scholar of such a top reputation as Erzhang, it is enough to let them study and lecture on the scriptures. Qingxu Shiren, Liu Bei has the advantage and can choose to conquer. Jiang Zuoshi people, let them confess their own masters, and save themselves from conflict with Liu Qi.

"From all of you!" Liu Bei nodded and said in approval.

Huo Jun straightened his back slightly, and said: "Envoy, Jun entered the Jiangzuo Water Village, and got a virtuous person, who was originally an old man under Sun Quan's account, a Jianghuai person, surnamed Lu Mingsu, and the word respected." The heart has a strategy, is square, is meticulous, has the old style of Zhou Lang, and the strategy of a general. ”

"This son respects the envoy, and I am willing to make the monarch believe in it!"

Liu Bei's expression was quite happy. Huo Jun generally does not appoint people, and once he is promoted, he is a sergeant. Gan Ning didn't say anything, Pan Jun and Wang Cang, who were recommended by Liu Qi, have their abilities and talents for all to see.

"Good!"

Liu Bei applauded and smiled: "Be prepared to see it tonight and listen to its strategy." ”
