Liu Bei's new division of Xuzhou is different from Xuzhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In addition to the original Guangling, Xiapi, Pengcheng and other Xuzhou counties, the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang in Yangzhou were included in Xuzhou. The two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang are located in the Jiangbei region, and most of the counties and townships are under Cao Cao's account.

In fact, Huo Jun wanted to take Hefei, and Liu Bei appointed Huo Jun as the Taishou of Jiujiang, which may be more appropriate. However, Huo Jun previously served as the Taishou of Nanjun, and now he has been removed from office, so it is not suitable for Huo Jun to lead from afar. And Huo Jun performed well in the process of Liu Bei's succession to Jing Chu, and he did not receive a higher reward, which is unreasonable.

Of course, not only Huo Jun's appointment came out, but also the appointment of Wu Chu's senior officials.

Liu Bei himself concurrently served as the pastor of Jing and Yang, and the Taishou of Wu and Chu counties were all supervised by him.

Huo Jun, general of Zhengbei, Xuzhou Thorn History, governor of Poyang and Danyang two counties, Yunyang township.

Guan Yu supervised the army to break Cangwu, surrendered to Jiaozhou, and planned to kill Lejin and break Zhang Liao's merits, and moved to the west general, Nanjun Taishou, Hanshou Pavilion Marquis, and gave Wuling Chong County (now Sangzhi) as a city.

Zhang Fei accumulated his previous achievements, moved General Fubo, Yidu was too guarded, and increased the number of food towns by 500 households.

Yidu County, divided into counties west of Nan County, has jurisdiction over Xiling, Yidao, Sheshan, Zigui, Xinling five counties, and specializes in the affairs of Bashu. Zhang Fei led the army to Tunyi Road, and led the political affairs of Yidu County to Langdu.

Mi Zhu moved to General Anhan, who was above the officials, and gave 500 catties of gold, 1,000 catties of silver, and a large number of acres of land. Jian Yong, Sun Qian, and Yi each have rewards, but they are all inferior to Mi Zhu.

Zhuge Liang accumulated his previous achievements, moved the army to the general, and signed the general's affairs.

Xu Shu moved to govern the army general and took charge of the military government.

Gan Ning moved to the general of Hengjiang, led Nanyang Taishou from afar, and increased the food by 300.

Zhao Yun moved to the general of the Yi army, protected the Chinese army, and increased the food by 300.

Mi Fang moved to General Kou, Danyang Taishou, and Duting Hou.

Wang Wei moved to level the generals, Cangwu Taishou, and the Marquis of Duting.

He Qi asked Jiangdong Shanyue to be meritorious, placed Linshui, Shixin and other counties, leveled the Yellow Turban thieves, and moved to General Fenwu.

Lu Su moved to Pingnan Zhonglang General, Jiaozhou Assassin History, led 1,000 Bai Yu soldiers, and settled in Jiaozhou.

Lu Xun moved to the lieutenant general of the army, stationed in the same pavilion with Meng Da, and looked at Zhang Fei's camp across the river.

……

Pan Jun moved to Wuhan County and was knighted as a marquis.

Wuhan County, divided into Jiangxia, Yuzhang, Changsha three counties and set up, Wuhan, Xiapheasant, Xunyang, Yangxin, Chaisang, Shaxian, Xiajun, Hanchang eight counties.

Buqi moved to Wuling Taishou, Zhuge Jin moved to Huiji Taishou, Lu Dai moved to Wujun Taishou, Huang Shot moved to Jian'an Taishou, Quan Rou moved to Lingling Taishou, and Yan Jian moved to Guiyang Taishou.

The former Guiyang Taishou Huang Zhong moved to the general and was transferred to the Chinese army.

Liu Bei used political means to replace the three counties of Jingnan except Changsha with his own dignitaries, or Jianghuai henchmen, or Jiangdong old officials.

In addition, Huo Jun left Nanjun, and now only the four counties of Yuzhang, Luling, Jiangxia, and Changsha are still controlled by Liu Qi's old people. Of course, Liu Bei is not ready to replace all these people, Liu Qi's old people should be used in a short period of time, and the two families cannot be separated.

……

In terms of the army, Liu Bei promoted more than 30 outstanding generals, such as Lu Meng, Zhu Huan, Shi Ran, Fu Wei, Wei Yan, Fu Kuang, Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, Xiang Chong, Quan Cong, Liu Feng, Tai Shiheng and others.

In terms of scholars, in addition to Pang Tong recommended by Huo Jun, Zhuge Liang cited Ma Jian and Liao Li, Gu Yongju Wu Cang, Ding Zhen, Yin Li, Zhang Bing and others, Wang Cangju Zhang Cun, Han Ran and others...... In this way, Liu Bei did not refuse to come, and was promoted to the Che Cavalry General's Mansion one after another.

With such a terrifying talent reserve, Liu Bei now has no shortage of people and land, and lacks time for him to integrate Jing and Yang. After Liu Bei's integration is completed, his strength will grow explosively.

Jing Chu + Wu Yue, is it a simple 1+1=2, it must be 1+1>2.

The government moved to Wuhan, and Huo Jun was also ready to return to Jiangling with the appointment of Xuzhou Assassin History, and led his sergeants to Jiangzuo. However, before leaving, Liu Bei stopped him and asked him to participate in Wu Chu's important military and political affairs.

The dilapidated Exian government office is full of more than a dozen high-ranking officials of Wu Chu Shangqing on both sides, all of whom are well-dressed and well-dressed.

Liu Bei sat on the couch and listened to the arguments of the scholars, and his ears were so noisy.

From the quarrel over the amount of taxes to the revision of the law, and then from the revision of the law to the Confucian classics, and from the Confucian classics to the salt and iron official camp.

Zhuge Liang, as Liu Bei's personal officer, first discussed with Gu Yong, Pan Jun, and Zhang Zhao about the amount of tax to be paid, and then discussed with everyone the direction of the revision of the law.

Zhang Zhao's face was red, and he argued: "The lord is in charge of Jing Chu at the beginning, and when Emperor Gao enters the customs, in order to appease the hearts of the people and the people, he has three chapters of the law with the people. Now Wu Chu Chu'an, it is advisable to suspend the sentence and relax the confinement to win people's hearts. ”

The feather fan shook rapidly, and the cool breeze generated by the feather fan made Zhuge Liang's hot heart calm down.

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Now Aneng is the same as in the old days, the law of the Qin Dynasty was harsh, and the people were resentful, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled because of it. Gaozu is magnanimous and pleases the hearts of the people. ”

"The second generation of Linzi ruled Wu Chu, due to the turbulence of the times, only to be bound by grammar, give officials knights, and serve as the county guard. When the people who came to the south of the country, they were entrenched in the counties and counties, and the more authoritarian power came up, the more they bullied the townships and counties. The state capital is difficult to administer morality and government, and it is difficult to be majestic and solemn, but only the officials are pleased. ”

"If there are many lords, they are arrogant, and when they live in the township, the officials are also limited by them, the monarchs and ministers are out of order, and the cholera state capital."

"Today, if you enforce the rule of law, you will know the power of the law; He also sent virtuous officials to deal with it, and deeply governed the county and township. The times are orderly, the monarchs and ministers have the way, and the government decrees are exchanged, which is the key to governance. ”

Zhuge Liang sees farther than everyone here in the political dimension. He was not arguing with Zhang Zhao about the severity of the revision of the law, but striving for the strictness of the law, so as to help Liu Bei establish an orderly ruling system.

Whether it is Jingzhou or Yangzhou, in the previous rule, except for Danyang, which was deeply governed by Zhuge Liang, the rest of the prefectures and counties were in chaos.

This chaos does not refer to the occurrence of war, or to the chaos of the ruling order. The local nobles have usurped the rights of the magistrates, and the magistrates have no upper level of officials to supervise them, and there are endless sources of fishing, corruption, and personal gain.

What Zhuge Liang strives for is not whether he is pleasing to the people, but establishing a bureaucratic system belonging to Liu Bei. After all, if the decree does not work, the people you please will benefit the powerful and the big clan.

Only by establishing a qualified ruling system can we ensure the normal operation of Wu Chu and feed back to the military.

Warlords compete for hegemony, full of stratagems, and macro military strategies are only part of it. More often than not, it is the boring and headache of administrative work, interpersonal relationships, and access to government decrees, which are also invisible wars.

Liu Bei wants to compete with Cao Cao for the world, in addition to real swords and guns, it is to test Zhuge Liang's political level.

However, fortunately, in this plane, Zhuge Liang is no longer alone, Zhang Zhao, Xu Shu, Pan Jun, and Gu Yong are all outstanding politicians. Huo Jun can also mix in it, and he can also say a few words, and Jiang Ji and Sima Zhi under the account are also national scholars.

Pan Jun pondered and said: "It is not easy for a saint to be taught by the people, and a wise man does not change the law and governs. The lord was in charge of Wu Chu at the beginning, but now the law has changed greatly, and he is afraid that the soldiers will be uneasy, so as to criticize the king. Why don't you temporarily use the old rule of law, slow down the law, and the scholars will be relieved if they learn the old law. ”

Huo Jun, who was dressed in heartfelt armor, refuted and said: "Change with the times, according to local conditions." Since the independent public entered Chu, the upper Chu officials and the lower Yue soldiers. Today, the law is strict, and most of the critics are local evil tyrants and state government officials, etc., such people should be black sheep and should be eliminated as soon as possible. ”

or under the influence of joining the army, Huo Jun is not very interested in Huairou politics. Expect everyone to support you, that's impossible. Only pulling one faction and fighting one faction is the royal road.

Before Liu Bei gave so many benefits, he gave him a fortune, and he divided more than 20 people as liehous, in order to win over the high-level of Jingchu.

In the feudal system, unless it is the end of the dynasty, or the cruelty of the people is too heavy, the upper class is not chaotic, and it can be generally stable. At present, it is not difficult to suppress the ordinary tyrants of the lower strata who are doing evil and clean up the incompetent and corrupt officials.

Liu Bei's political level is not bad, and he knows the deep meaning expounded by Zhuge Liang and Huo Jun, so he said: "Don't say anything, you should take measures according to the times, cultivate strict laws, and govern Wu Chu deeply." ”

"No!" Seeing that Liu Bei had made up their minds, everyone gave up the argument and surrendered to peace.

After finalizing the law, Zhuge Liang believed that the world was in chaos, and the soldiers were dispatched frequently, which was better than in the old times, and the military expenditure was doubled, and it was difficult to pay taxes alone.

Liu Bei promised to set up a captain of salt and iron. Gu Yong was appointed to adjust the benefits of salt and iron and enrich military supplies.

Then, Huo Jun mixed in and said: "My lord, the trouble of the lord of the world is that the rice is not abundant, so when there is a military battle, the grain and grass are not good and the army retreats; The people were hungry and cold, and it was difficult for them to feed themselves without giving birth to children. ”

"Where the population withers, the army is widowed, and the rice production decreases. The taxes were harsh and fierce, the people hid their household registrations, the national households were scarce, and the soldiers were outnumbered. In this way, it will be difficult for the country to survive. ”

"If there is an abundance of rice and no shortage of military baggage, you can fight for a long time; When the people are full, and they are not hungry or cold, they will bear children. When the taxes were lenient, the people were involved in the case, the number of households increased, and the number of soldiers was numerous. In this way, the country can be rejuvenated. ”

"Today, the trend of the north and the south has taken shape. Wu and Chu are two states, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the mountains and forests are thick. In ancient times, it was mostly a wild land, rice and soup and fish, fire and water rake, and there were no people who were frozen and hungry in the year, and there was no home of a thousand daughters, which was despised by the people of the Central Plains. ”

"In several states in China, the land is fertile, the chestnut wheat is cultivated in rotation, and the two years old and three yields are abundant. Compared with the north and the south, our land is wide and China, but the geographical advantages are insufficient, the farming skills are not refined, and the people are few. For a long time, there is only the danger of the river. For the sake of China, the rice-wheat rotation method should be implemented. ”

"Jun used to govern Anhui City and Jiangling, and followed this law. Rice is planted in the spring, and wheat is planted in the autumn; Wheat harvest in spring and rice harvest in autumn. When the people rotate the fields and do not waste the farm, the yield is increased by several buckets compared with previous years. A household counts buckets, and 10,000 households tens of thousands of buckets are for the sake of a rich country. ”

"Farming is not wasted in all seasons, the people have land to plant, and the soldiers can be stationed and cultivated. Since then, the amount of taxes has remained unchanged, taxes have increased, rice has accumulated in warehouses, hidden households have increased, the treasury has been full, and Dingkou has prospered. On the point of view, the Central Plains can be drawn, the Han family can be prosperous, and the Lord is expected to do it. ”

Huo Jun discussed the relationship between the people and grain from multiple aspects, and briefly compared the situation between the north and the south, and suggested that Liu Bei should promote the method of rice and wheat rotation in the sixteen counties of Wuchu Prefecture to increase national strength.

Sure enough, Liu Bei Dayue praised and said: "Zhong Miao went on the horse to govern the army, got off the horse to settle the people, and the country of the Han Dynasty!" The method of rice and wheat rotation was slightly heard when I was alone in Jiangzuo. Poyang rice warehouse, soldiers are self-sufficient, thanks to this method, alone to accept it. ”

Liu Bei instructed: "By Zhongxuan, the government will draft the decree and issue it to the county." Since Kong Ming is in charge of government affairs, he should supervise the governors of various places. ”

"No!" Wang Cang and Zhuge Liang answered.

Wang Cang, who was Liu Qi's long history before, is now worshiping as a general in the waiter's order, and has become Liu Bei's exclusive secretary, holding the seal of the palace and writing the decree.

With so many strange official names, it is also a helpless move. There are too many talents, and there are too few official positions. Only new official positions can be created to meet the demand.
