Sun Ce was inexplicable, and he didn't know what these two were talking about. Things gather by like, people gather by people, Shen You and Guo Jia are both outstanding young people, and they don't take the usual path, and they can talk about it the most among Sun Ce's generals. Last time, Shen You commanded the war on behalf of Sun Ce, and Guo Jia also helped, so the relationship between the two became more tacit.

However, when they mentioned Tian Mu, Sun Ce estimated that it was related to the recent request for the Wu County family to sell the land.

Shen You and Guo Jia amused each other, smiling and relaxed. The last time Sun Ce troubled Shen Zhi and asked Cai Mao to check the Shen family's property, Shen You behaved very calmly, and later checked, the Shen family really did not embezzle the land of ordinary people, and his family's land was snatched from Manyue.

The Shen family was not a native of Wuhui - the Wu Jun family was basically not - but a native of the Central Plains who moved from Jiujiang at the time of the new mang. After entering Wu, the Shen family gained a foothold in Qiantang and Yuhang. There is an alluvial plain at the mouth of the sea in Zhejiang, the land is fertile, suitable for farming, the Shen family has the farming technology and iron farming tools brought by the Central Plains, and the land is cultivated and developed rapidly, so it moved to live in Wu County, and the main body of its clan is still in that area.

Later, Sun Wu established Wuxing County, and the Shen family became Wuxing people.

There was originally a mountain life in that area, and it was inevitable that there would be conflicts after the Shen family moved here. However, Shanyue fought on their own, not the opponent of the Shen family relying on the clan, and the reclaimed land was successively robbed by the Shen family. Because of this, the Shen family is different from the other families in Wu County, and attaches great importance to martial affairs. The Shen family later produced many generals, famous generals, and Shen Qingzhi, a famous general of the Liu and Song dynasties in the Southern Dynasty, was the descendant of the Shen family.

Therefore, although the Shen family has a lot of good land, it is not to encroach on the people, but to snatch it from Shanyue. Shanyue is not registered in the Han Dynasty, does not pay grain, does not pay taxes, and is certainly not a Han citizen. Sun Ce didn't treat Shanyue as a savage, but he couldn't say that the Shen family had encroached on the people's land, so he could only give up.

The situation of the other families is still being investigated, but Sun Ce can see from Shen You's mood that basically there is no major problem, even if there is land encroachment, it is not serious, it is an individual phenomenon. Most of the families with heads and faces are the same as the Shen family, and they are all local natives at the beginning. They were either driven away, killed, or assimilated by them, and became their tribesmen.

The people do not sue, and the officials do not hold them accountable. There is no lawlessness without the bitter master, and the killing of the local natives is the original sin that every civilization commits when it expands.

"Ahem!" Sun Ce coughed, reminded them not to play dumb riddles, and then asked Guo Jia to report the information they had just received to Shen You.

Shen You hurriedly put away his smile, read the news carefully, and thought about it for a while. "General, I agree with the suggestion of sacrificing wine, rush to Huiji as soon as possible, arrange the selection of agents, and then assemble the sailors, watch the troops near the river, and stand by to move. If Yuan Shao wanted to use troops to the south, the first part would inevitably be Qingzhou and Xuzhou, so as to form an encirclement of Yuzhou. Xuzhou is urgent, Tao Qian should ask the general for help, and the sailor can transport grain. ”

Sun Ce was not surprised, he and Guo Jia had expected this situation before, so they would give Lu Guo to Tao Qian. Now Ji Ling, the general under Tao Qian, is guarding Lu County, blocking Yuan Tan's way, and the two sides are fighting hotly. On the contrary, it was the Dongjun Taishou Cao Ang who attacked Qingzhou relatively smoothly, and Tian Kai was very embarrassed, and he had already lost half of the plain county. If Yuan Shao attacked in person, Qingzhou would be quickly lost, and Tao Qian would face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, and it was inevitable to ask him for help.

To help Tao Qian is to help yourself, and it is incumbent on you. The problem is just that this situation is several years earlier than they expected, his foundation is not stable, Jiangnan has only been in hand for a few months, and he has not even had time to set foot in Huiji, Yuan Shao intends to go south, which catches him off guard.

"What about Wu Jun?"

"Wu County is the general's hometown, why should the general worry, the seven surnames are in the heart, the civil and military gathered, and the general can calmly go on the Northern Expedition. However, the general needs to use some thought, and the old enmity of the Zhou brothers is in front of him, so I am afraid that he will not easily bow to the general. ”

Shen You took the map and spread it out on the case in front of Sun Ce, and talked eloquently. "Huiji is different from Wu County, Wu County is dominated by plains and lakes, only the southwest has mountains, Huiji is backed by mountains and facing the sea, and all counties are adjacent to the mountains, so thieves abound, if the relationship is not handled well, forcibly requisitioned, even if the general's subordinates are elite, they will not be able to calm down in three or five years."

Sun Ce knew that Shen You was telling the truth, Wu County was easy to set, and it would be difficult to settle down, which was determined by the geographical situation. Historically, Sun Ce entered Jiangdong, and the people who had the most conflicts were also Huiji, such as Wei Teng.

"Zizheng is right, it is good to clear the family's background, live within your means." Sun Ce said quietly: "The Central Plains has been fighting for many years, and there is no possibility of ending in the short term, and it is imminent for a large number of Central Plains people to enter Jiangdong, which is an opportunity and a trap." If it is handled well, Jiangdong will usher in an opportunity for rapid development. If you don't handle it well, the danger that your Shen family encountered at the beginning will be repeated again. The purpose of taking stock of the land is also to ensure the supply of food, and it is not possible to starve people to death while hoarding them. Without food, no matter how gentle people are, they can become mobs. ”

Shen You understood. "What the general said is very true, and I will definitely tell you about the general's hard work."

"Okay, Wu County's affairs are temporarily represented by Zizheng, and I will hurry up and go to Huiji." Sun Ce smiled slightly. "Zizheng has three wonders, this time you can play to your heart's content, and it can be regarded as a rehearsal before the Central Plains."

Shen You was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed his hand. "Well, the minister will do his best to serve the general."

——

Shen You turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to his entourage, entered the inner door, and nodded and said hello to Li Zheng in the gatehouse. Li Zheng smiled, looking at Shen You's back and sighing.

"Sun Lang is a good person, those who follow Sun Lang are not bad, and it is rare for such a polite young man to be seen now."

Shen You heard it from afar and couldn't help laughing. Sun Ce is more ruthless to the family, but he is very polite to ordinary people, not only strictly prohibiting his subordinates from disturbing the people, but he is also laughing at people, and his reputation is excellent. Shen Zhi was kicked by Sun Ce, but the chief here still favored Sun Ce and did not feel that Shen Zhi was wronged. It is conceivable that Shen Zhi must be uncomfortable these days, and I don't know what it looks like to be aggrieved.

When he came to Shen Zhi's house, Shen You entered the door and looked at the door carefully. The gate has been newly repaired, almost with a new one. Ma Chao's kick was so hard that even the door frame was cracked.

Shen Zhi walked out of it, and when he saw Shen You looking at his newly changed door, his face suddenly became ugly.

"Zizheng is here, what advice do you have? It's just a door, it's worth looking at for so long? ”

Shen You looked at him, pointed at the newly changed door with the horsewhip in his hand, and grinned. "Want to change the door again?"

Shen Zhi was furious. "You're trying to kick my door too?"

Shen You shook his hand and motioned for Shen Zhi to be calm and not to be impatient. He stepped forward and grabbed Shen Zhi's arm. "Brother, your portal is too small, I'll give you a chance to change the door, don't talk about Ma Chao, even if you let Xu Chu and Dian Wei come, you can't break it, are you interested?"

Shen Zhi was furious, broke away from Shen You, and was just about to scold, when the Sheng family walked out of it, gave Shen Zhi a look, and said with a smile: "Zizheng, what you said is not right, with your clan brother by General Sun's side, who will dare to kick the door of our house in the future?" ”

Shen You looked up to the sky and laughed, patting Shen Zhi hard. "You, it's good to have a sister-in-law who is half smart."

Shen Zhi was inexplicable and confused.
