On the top of Longshan Mountain, a quiet place, where the dim lights flicker, there is an ancient temple standing.

Liu Chan came to the ancient temple in the mountains late at night, and there was silence all around.

Looking up at the sky, the dark sky is dotted with stars, like a shining oil painting.

At this moment, it is as if man and nature are one, and there is only inner peace.

Standing outside the ancient temple, looking into the depths of the mountains and forests, the vast darkness shrouds this land.

Only the moonlight shines through the gaps in the branches and leaves, shining on the ground, which is particularly quiet.

In such an environment, people feel their own insignificance, but there is a sense of transcendence in their hearts.

Walking slowly into the ancient temple, there was no one else in the ancient temple, only the prince's personal guards who entered in advance, which cleared the possible dangers in the ancient temple for Liu Chan in advance.

The door of the main hall is open, and under the dim lights, there is a graceful figure under the main hall.

Slowly step into the main hall.

In the middle of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, "one Buddha and two disciples", in the middle is the statue of Sakyamuni saying the Dharma, and the left and right are respectively the statue of Ka Ye and Ananda.

There are eighteen Arhats on both sides, and there are also five hundred Arhats on the walls, and their faces are hideous, especially in the middle of the night, which gives people a feeling of coolness.

"Why did Your Highness come to visit late at night?"

Under the ancient Buddha, Sun Shangxiang, who was wearing a nun's robe, slowly turned around, and in an instant, Liu Chan's eyes were attracted by her.

Sun Shangxiang's neck was slender and slender, as if it was a jade pen, and the white jade-like skin exuded a slight crystal luster under the oil lamp.

She wears a string of delicate Buddhist beads around her neck, which contrasts sharply with the nun's garment, which further accentuates her beauty.

The nunnery's dress clings to her figure, outlining her graceful curves.

Low-cut tops, false eyelashes, tulle skirts

Wait, looking at the current Sun Shangxiang, Liu Chan always has a familiar feeling.

"I'm going back to Chengdu."

After staring for a moment, Liu Chan quickly turned his gaze to the ancient Buddha.

Back to Chengdu?

Sun Shangxiang bit her lips and teeth, her face was resentful, and she said, "Since you want to go back to Chengdu, what are you doing here?" ”

Liu Chan took three incense sticks from the altar, lit the oil lamp, and gently blew out the fire.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, how boring, doesn't the little lady want to go to Chengdu?" ”

"Compared with Chengdu, this green lantern ancient Buddha-like life is more suitable for me!"

Sun Shangxiang's hair was as black as lacquer, long and soft, draped over her shoulders, slightly shiny.

The ends of her hair gently brushed over her shoulders and fell like a waterfall, each strand shimmering with a healthy sheen.

Although she wears simple clothes, her graceful figure is still heartwarming.

However, at this time, she was resentful, glaring at Liu Chan, and hated it very much in her heart!

Liu Chan looked at it as if he hadn't seen it, bowed to the ancient Buddha, and then inserted incense on the incense burner.

"That being the case, then the wish of the little lady will be fulfilled, you can rest assured, Longshan Ancient Temple, no one can disturb the little lady's retreat."

After speaking, Liu Chan turned around and was about to leave.

"That's it?"

Liu Chan paused in his footsteps and said, "The knot in my heart is over, why don't you go?" ”

"It's good to stay a little longer."

Sun Shangxiang's eyes were full of water, and he slowly approached Liu Chan.

"You see, it's raining outside the mountain."

Thundered!

Thunder flashed, illuminating the dim hall of the Mahavira for a moment.

The two looked at each other like thunder.

The summer rain was dripping, and in an instant, the entire Longshan was soaked in the rain and entered the kingdom in the rain.

Liu Chan looked at Sun Shangxiang, and finally said, "Then wait for the rain to stop." ”

Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang immediately showed a happy face.

With this smile, it seems that the evil aura of the ancient temple has also dissipated a lot.

I don't know how long it rained.

Maybe it's a quarter of an hour, maybe half an hour, maybe longer.

In a word.

Liu Chan did not stay overnight on the ancient temple of Longshan, but braved the rain all the way to the Longshan Xingtai to rest.

Outside the small courtyard of Xingtai, Fei Yi held an umbrella and waited at the door early, I don't know if it was too rainy, or if he waited too long, half of his Confucian robe was already soaked with water.

"Your Highness, you're finally back."

Liu Chan walked in front silently, and when he reached the eaves of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped.

"How long have I been in the mountains?"

How long has it been?

Fei Yi immediately said: "Two, it's wrong, it's half an hour." ”

Liu Chan smiled and said, "On the ancient temple of Longshan, the scenery is good, maybe Wen Wei can also go there." ”

After saying that, he walked straight into the hospital.

Thundered~

Boom~

The thunder was louder, and the rain was heavier, shining on Fei Yi's somewhat confused face.

In the end, he had to follow Liu Chan and put the umbrella on Liu Chan's head.

"Your Highness, will you stay in Longshan tomorrow?"

Fei Yi asked tentatively.

"Go to Gangneung tomorrow and kill people!"

Liu Chan's eyes were full of murder.

This appearance made Fei Yi look surprised.

Didn't you go up the mountain to vent the fire, why did the anger get bigger?

But in the anger of His Royal Highness, he couldn't say anything, so he had to be silent and silently be a transparent person.

Early the next morning.

It was not yet dawn.

Liu Chan galloped towards Jiangling City in the south with the mist.

Pang Tong waited outside the city early.

"Meet Your Highness."

Liu Chan got off the horse, and Pang Tong took a group of subordinate officials in Jiangling City and saluted Liu Chan.

"No need to be polite, let's enter the city."

Outside the city is not the place to speak, and Liu Chan is not in the mood to say anything more at this moment.

All the way into the city, it was only a few months before he arrived in Jiangling, and the changes in Jiangling City still made Liu Chan breathtaking.

After the circulation of trade routes, the lifting of curfews, and the encouragement of commerce, Gangneung's business developed rapidly.

Not only large-scale merchants, but also small workshops, liquor stores, inns, and other business institutions that would flourish in later generations also appeared in Gangneung Castle.

People come and go like ants.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why shops, wine shops, inns, and even hooks can appear in the city.

Some people have business, and some people have rivers and lakes.

Entering the city, above the lobby, Pang Tong handed the prepared summary table to Liu Chan.

"In the few months that His Highness has been in Runan, the population of Jiangling Dazhi and Nanjun has risen to 300,000!"

300,000 is more than five times more than five times more people for Nanjun, which was almost a barren land a few years ago.

"No wonder this Gangneung City is so prosperous, it turns out that the population has increased, but where did these populations come from?"

Pang Tong said on the side: "Most of them fled from Runan, there are also barbarians from the three counties of Jingnan, and some of them fled from Jiangdong. ”

"Koto?"

Liu Chan was stunned.

Coming from Jingnan, he can still understand.

After all, the living environment of Jiangling is much better than that of Jingnan, safe, and can survive, and those who have the ability can survive very well.

If you come from Runan, it is better to understand.

The Great War in Runan, staying away from the war, is naturally the nature of the people.

In addition, Gangneung has a policy of attracting and resettling displaced people, so it is normal to attract them.

"Jiangdong Sun Quan has repeatedly raised military affairs, and has paid more taxes to the people of Jiangdong, and there are many bankrupts and many refugees, but they only dare to flee from Yuzhang County to Changsha County."

Liu Chan's face was contemplative.

"In this way, then Sun Quanzhen and Zang Ba are fighting for Guangling?"

"According to the detailed information made by the military department, the two armies are still holding each other in Guangling."

This.

Liu Chan held back a smile on his face, not wanting his moves to borrow food actually make Sun Quan still in the middle of the war.

He was about to get out, and Jiangdong was still in the mud pit.

What a surprise!

"The displaced people in Jiangdong should be recruited more, maybe they can get some incentives, and those who are willing to settle in Nanjun can be rewarded with some money and food, and the amount does not need to be much, just have a gimmick."

Population is the productive forces, and the population is the national strength.

There is one less person in Jiangdong, and he has one more person in Jingzhou, and after coming and going, it is equivalent to two more people for him!

The national strength is declining and the other is growing, and it will be even more difficult to take Jiangdong in the future.

"It's just a matter of food and grass."

Liu Chan smiled lightly and said: "The war in Runan has been settled, and there is no need for too much reinforcement of grain and grass, and after the autumn harvest, the first crops in Jingzhou will be harvested, and the worries of grain and grass will be dispersed." ”

As long as there is no war, with Liu Chan's management of Jingzhou, it will definitely not be enough for grain and grass.

The land of fish and rice in later generations is a good place for grain production!

"In this case, my subordinates understand."

Liu Chan bowed slightly, but suddenly said: "Jiangling Dazhi, but also to supervise officials from all over the country, I came all the way from Jiangxia, what I have seen and heard, few are good news." ”

The rapid development of Gangneung will naturally produce huge benefits.

And in the face of this huge benefit, few people can not be tempted, and few people can stabilize their greed.

Human nature is greedy.

Liu Chan also does not trust the so-called conduct.

"I want to set up an incorruptible envoy, directly under the prince's mansion, to supervise officials in Jingzhou."

Cheap Visitor?

Pang Tong was stunned.

"Then how can the authority of this incorruptible envoy be constrained? There may be officials under the rule, and there are people who are greedy for ink, but many of them are capable or out of necessity. ”

Liu Chan smiled and said: "The envoys of the Lian Visiting Sect are all led by the students of the Wutang Lecture Hall, and the Wuyi Lecture is served as the deputy envoy from the military attaché, which is changed once a year. The soldiers under him are not in the ranks of the state and county soldiers, but directly under the prince's mansion, and they are composed of 3,000 cronies. ”

Talking about martial arts?

Lecture on martial arts?

Pang Tong's mouth opened wide, he knew that His Royal Highness was going to play for real.

"It's just that such a large-scale hunting and killing of officials may make people lose their hearts, and no one is an official!"

As an official, there are few people who are not greedy, and if you really let the muddy water turn into clear water, then there will be no fish in the water.

Liu Chan disagreed, and said: "If the corrupt officials are not eliminated, the officials are not clear, but the treatment of officials from all over Jingzhou can be slightly increased, but if there is a crime, it will not be tolerated!" ”

Of course

Liu Chan is not the kind of person who can't turn a corner.

"The money that was greedy for ink before, as long as it is reported in full and collected from the treasury, it can be blamed in the past. After that, the envoy went to the county from time to time, according to the information of the military department, to investigate the situation in various places, if the officials were greedy, but the governance was good, only the money was confiscated, a little punishment, and the recidivists were severely punished. If there are corrupt people in their officials, but the lives of the people under their rule are miserable, they will be punished with serious crimes. ”

If you have the ability, you can be greedy for a little money, and you can still give it a chance.

If you don't have the ability, you dare to be greedy for money?

Then leave your life behind!

"Order again: If there is anyone who is greedy for ink, he is not allowed to be an official within three generations!"

Directly let you go to the Eastern Han Dynasty version of the credit information, but it depends on those of you who are from big families, whether you are afraid or not!

Hiss~

Pang Tong gasped, and he also knew the ruthlessness of Liu Chan's move.

That was seven inches up to these officials in Jingzhou.

Most of the officials in Jingzhou are from the scholar family, and if they are not allowed to be officials within three generations, isn't this even more uncomfortable than killing him?

"Your Highness has this order, Jingzhou officials will rule Qingming!"

Liu Chan's face did not change, but he said: "There must be a reward if there is a punishment, if there is no corrupt person under the inquiry of the incorruptible envoy, and the governance ability is not bad, he will be promoted first." ”

Just give sticks, that will only drive people crazy.

After this beating, I still have to give a date.

"In addition, three days later, the public will try the corrupt officials, peel the skin and grass, and set an example!"

Let the officials of Jingzhou see the blood and know that his Liu Chan's decree is not just talking, but really going to be implemented!

"No!"

In the lobby, many officials had cold faces and stood up one after another to promise.

Now Jingzhou has two centers, one in Wancheng and the other in Jiangling.

The Jingzhou center of Wancheng, which was responsible for Nanyang and other counties, was mainly tasked with developing the military, supplemented by commerce, and preparing for war with Wei.

Gangneung, on its part, is naturally going all out to develop the economy.

Economic development will naturally give birth to moths.

And now that everyone knows what Liu Chan means, the original greed for ink has been extinguished.

Many people already have the fact of being greedy for ink, so they plan to hand over the income from greed.

In order to change to a restful sleep to sleep.

They can all know what happened in Luoyang, not to mention the corruption of these officials.

In addition, the people who were born in the martial arts hall are all young people with strong blood, and what they learn are all new trend ideas of His Royal Highness.

Among them, the idea of loyalty to the king and love for the people prevails, and many people are fanatical followers of His Highness.

It is not impossible for them to do something righteous to kill their relatives.

I'm scared.

They're really scared now.

The crowd dispersed.

In the lobby, only Pang Tong and Liu Chan were left.

"Your Highness doesn't plan to go to Yong'an to return to Chengdu?"

Pang Tong asked thoughtfully.

Entering Chengdu from the White Emperor City is the nearest and fastest way.

"I'm going to Wancheng to see the situation, and I'm going to Hanzhong to see, the cool land, Zen has long wanted to take it."

In another time and space, Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan six times, how much blood and tears were sown?

Wuzhang Yuan, Street Pavilion, Chen Cang.

Those hurdles that Kong Ming can't cross, he has to step over!

In this life, with Liu Chan here, he will never allow the failure of the Northern Expedition to appear again.

Of course

Since it is necessary to prepare for the use of troops, it is natural to personally go to the local area to investigate.

How credible is something from a map?

Mountains, rivers, folk customs, passes.

If you don't go in person, you won't know the details.

And when marching and fighting, the study of details is too important.

In later generations, those officials who were out of the grassroots level, gave an order, thinking that they were normal, but they didn't know how much work they had to do for the people below, even if they forgot to sleep and eat, it was difficult to complete it on time.

"Your Highness really has great ambitions to revive the Han Dynasty!"

In Pang Tong's heart, he unconsciously admired Liu Chan.

Your Royal Highness, there really is a Kyushu atmosphere, and your energy is unlimited!

First went to the wild land in Nanzhong, then recovered Jingzhou, then went to the three counties of Jingnan to wander between the miasma, and then went to Runan to wrestle with Wei.

"My Han has His Royal Highness, it is really the luck of the Han and the luck of the people of the world!"

Such an iron man, who doesn't admire it?

Liu Chan disagreed, and said: "An inch of time is an inch of gold, an inch of gold is difficult to buy an inch of time, and the great ambition of Zen takes too much time to complete." ”

For Liu Bei, reviving the Han Dynasty is the ultimate goal of his life.

But for Liu Chan.

This was just the beginning of his great cause.
