18. Arguments

is really unintentionally inserted into the willows, Liu Qi never imagined at this moment that Liu Hong, who was regarded as Gao Hong's gift, would be a very important figure to him.

"Don't dare, don't dare, in the next foolish opinion, Mr. smiled." Liu Qi cleared his throat and said seriously: "I also know the benefits of Yizhou in the next, but there are two sides to everything, although Yizhou is big, it has many mountains and mountains, and the land available for cultivation is only concentrated in the three counties of Ba, Shu and Hanzhong, and the people are only more than 100,000 ......."

Liu Hong interrupted him unceremoniously: "This is a mistake, you don't know, the people attached to the family are not included in the household registration, there are many people living in the state, and they are not registered, there are more than 118,000 people in Guling, and the actual ones are not less than 200,000, Yizhou has jurisdiction over the county, the country is twelve, and the people under the rule are more than two million, and Liu Fujun is lenient in government, recuperation, and the people will be rich in time. ”

Liu Qi's eyes lit up: Among the people of this era, Liu Hong's vision is long-term, even if he is not good at the art of war and strategy, but it can be seen from his words that he must have excelled in governance and financial management, haha, he inadvertently picked up a treasure!

Liu Qi, who is familiar with military affairs, naturally understands that fighting a war is logistics, and no matter how elite and strong generals are, they can't stand not eating for three days, and a solid rear is the foundation for the final victory.

This small problem is not difficult for Liu Qi, later generations of scholars and netizens have already studied every detail of the Three Kingdoms thousands of times, and it is enough to pick out one of the corners of any forum. "At present, Yizhou is undesirable here, the Yizhou clan is strong and strong, deep-rooted, ******** has no foundation, only to favor the government in the world to follow its momentum, and the gains are one or two, most of the losers, the unevenness will lose people's hearts for a long time, the undercurrent is surging inside, if there is an external invasion, there is a risk of capsizing at any time! Liu Jiyu has no long-term vision, and conniving at local self-respect is tantamount to raising tigers and resisting theft, and disaster is not far away! ”

In fact, the evaluation of Liu Zhang in history is not too low, and there are many records in historical materials that he was lenient in governance, and Yizhou was stable and prosperous under his rule, which made many people feel sorry for him, and the reason why his historical evaluation is very low is entirely because his opponent, Zhuge Liang, who succeeded him in governing Yizhou, was too powerful.

Liu Qi is still very sympathetic to Liu Zhang, and even has some respect for him because he has twice refused to resist Liu Bei in order not to harm the people, and now he is really a little reluctant to say this, but now in order to recruit talents, he can't take care of a lot, anyway, Liu Zhang's infamy is also a lot, and he doesn't care about these two sentences.

"Since ancient times, those who have won Bashu are not obtained by external forces, and the power of the strong army is suppressed by suppression, and the fair government is subdued, which is the way to get Shu. Therefore, I thought, instead of wasting energy for the sake of safety, why not take the easy place first? The land of Wuyue is warm and fertile, suitable for farming, and the fertile field is far wider than Yizhou. The Central Plains also has many drought locust plagues, locust swarms to no harvest, the drought is even worse, thousands of miles of red land, these natural disasters can be controlled by manpower? Since ancient times, how have the heroes of the world abandoned the Central Plains because of this? ”

Liu Qi took out the best state that he had only chased beautiful girls before, and his mouth was like a river.

"And the barbarians are less wise and profitable, the government is lenient and appeased, the gold, silver, grain and rice are lured to benefit, and the tiger ben shows his authority, why worry that the people are difficult to accept and not use for me? Marriage with each other, conferred etiquette and Confucianism, and if the people end up as Han people in time, this problem can be eradicated! ”

Liu Qi's tongue was like a lotus, even he was a little dizzy, stood up and waved his arms to the east: "There are big rivers and moats blocking the Central Plains, and the people are determined, if they get Jiangdong, the people will definitely flock to it, settle the people and prepare for the grain, train and prepare the troops, secretly make friends with the Jingyi clan, and then try Jingyi when the soldiers come to Japan when the food is sufficient, and then try Jingyi, and the water and land should be combined inside and outside, and you can go down with one drum!" ”

Because of his studies, Liu Qineng got far more information than ordinary people who were obsessed with the history of the Three Kingdoms just because of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or the Three Kingdoms game, so his insights on this period of history can be described as the first way.

Liu Qi took advantage of the opportunity to name many princes one by one, which shocked Liu Hong, Liu Hong's ills in Yizhou did not know, but it was hidden under the surface stability, where could the officials who only knew boastful talk all day long in the luxurious mansions of the rich Shu County still care about thinking about what would happen ten years later! Maybe it won't take ten years for Yizhou to be in chaos, and Zhao Wei, who represents the foreign forces and the ruling class, is already incompatible with the Yan family, who represents the local forces, five years? Three years? Maybe shorter, and who knows how long they'll be able to hold it down? Liu Qi is right, instead of spending his energy in meaningless infighting, why not find a new world elsewhere? Koto? For example, today I am afraid that there is only this unique place left! This son has such a strategy at such an age, and what a unique vision! Liu Hong felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, and he also had ambitions, but he had no good intentions, and now he was thirty-three years old, and if he missed the young man in front of him, he might not have a chance to show his ambitions in this life.

Liu Hong bowed deeply to Liu Qi: "What a genius!" What Zhenxiang said last night was unknown, Hong saw that Jun was young and suspicious, so he tried his words. Today, Wen Jun was very admired, and Hong Yuan abandoned this little official and went to Jiangdong to help Jun show his ambitions! ”

Liu Qi hurriedly said "don't dare" to help Liu Hong up, humble in his mouth but happy in his heart, to be recognized by Liu Hong, an intellectual, can be said to be a solid step in this uncertain journey of the Three Kingdoms, to prove that his entry point is correct, Liu Hong's family is very powerful in the local area, can take Liu Hong for his own use, extremely beneficial to himself, and Wuyang is close to Chengdu, maybe in the future when the family can help Yizhou.

Of course, Liu Hong will not abandon his family and business with Liu Qi to run to the land of Wuyue thousands of miles away because of a few words, he also has to do it, Wuyang Liu family has risen from the Guangwu Emperor for more than 200 years, in Qianwei County can be described as a tree with deep roots, Liu Yan father and son have no foundation after coming to Yizhou, only with the help of the power of the county clan can gain a firm foothold, of course, when governing must give those local forces a high return.

Wuyang is close to Chengdu, and the Liu family is naturally close to the water and the building is the first to get the moon, and they have contributed a lot to Liu Yan's father and son, but the return is far more than the pay, and they dare not say that the power is monstrous, at least in Qianwei County, it is to get the wind and the rain.

However, Liu Hong's family is only an inconspicuous small branch of the Liu's countless side branches for more than 200 years, and there has never been a decent figure for decades.

Liu Hong has been smart and studious since childhood, Simin is good at arguing, at the age of twenty-one, he was appointed as the county of Shu County, deeply appreciated by Taishou, Liu Hong himself is also full of ambition, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, Liu Hong was jealous of the Liu clan, a few words of slander became a victim of the exchange of interests, and was transferred to Guling County on the border of Yizhou, and the situation in Guling is not much better, Zhao Wei is Liu Yan's old department, the governance is still the same, Liu is replaced by Yan, Liu Hong's life is still difficult.

Yan Tong is the eldest grandson of Yan Zhan, the patriarch of the Yan clan, who has read several books on history and soldiers, practiced bow and horse martial arts for a few days, and naturally became the representative of the Yan family in the Taishou Mansion, and this guy is jealous and jealous, suppresses and excludes all those who are more capable than him, and all the people who are not in the Yan clan, and the Taishou Mansion has almost become the outer house of the Yan family.

Zhao Wei is also very helpless, Guling is a small county, Han Yi live together, Yan's power penetrates into every corner of Yufu, almost monopolizes all the business and most of the farmland in the county, as long as a message and a little gold and silver, the Yi people in Bashan will disturb the place, so the other counties in the county also dare not speak out against Yan, without Yan's support, the county's taxes can not even be collected by one-third.

Zhao Wei is not without his own power, he was born in the Ba County Wang clan, after the death of the old master Liu Yan, it was he who tried his best to contact Liu Yan's old ministers to support the "gentle and generous" fourth son Liu Zhang, who had the merit of supporting, and the position of the Ba County Taishou, who was rich second only to Shu County, thought it was in his own pocket, but he did not expect to be robbed of love by Pang Xi, and later learned that Liu Zhang, who seemed to be generous, listened to slander and was afraid that these old ministers were difficult to control, so they were scattered to various border counties in Yizhou, away from Chengdu.

Regardless of whether Pang Xi and Liu Zhang have a good family, Zhao Wei's own clan is in Ba County, Liu Zhang is suspicious, even if this Taishou position is vacant, he will not give it to him, but the funny thing is that Liu Zhang is afraid that many old ministers who were originally from Yizhou are too cold, and they are all placed in the counties near their own clan, so Zhao Wei was sent to Guling in neighboring Ba County on the grounds of leading the army.

Asking for Liu Biao? If he, Liu Zhang, really had any ambitions, he would only send 3,000 troops?

What makes Zhao Wei even more angry is that these old ministers came to Shu in order to suppress the locals, and their grievances have been deep, and the situation is like fire and water, and now Liu Zhang vigorously supports the local forces in the counties of Yizhou to gain power, and frequently take the opportunity to attack the old ministers, Liu Zhang not only does not care about the old feelings, but is very indulgent to those nouveau riche who have not seen the world.

However, Zhao Wei can still take care of others, although Liu Zhang still cares about the huge family behind him, and the position of Taishou is quite stable, but now he is also anxious. Conquest of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, more than a year of attack, little success, but he himself lost his troops, failed to build a strong enemy, and even once retreated to Qu Ren to avoid Liu Biao's counterattack, fortunately Liu Biao also had no intention of going deeper, and the two families stopped fighting. After that, Zhao Wei simply settled down in Qu Ren, as for the real governance of the fish, Zhao Yun rarely goes back a few times a year, and every time he goes back to see the Yan family, most of them are unhappy, and it is best to simply come out of sight.

At the thought of Yan, Zhao Wei's anger could not be suppressed, and in the early years, he also received the support of Yan, and quickly mastered the counties in the county, with sufficient taxes and government decrees, and the cooperation between the two sides was extremely pleasant. But it didn't take long to find out that Yan's appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and he was tyrannical in his own name, and after the matter was revealed, the Yan family, who had been on the mountain of Liu Zhang, did not take him as a Taishou in his eyes more and more, and his attitude became worse and worse, and he even heard that Liu Zhang had the idea of replacing himself with Yan Zhan, the patriarch of the Yan clan.

If you can take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the control of the military power, you can immediately decide to give the Yan family a crime of collaborating with the enemy, and then cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, at that time, Yizhou has just been stable for a few years, and it is a foregone conclusion, how could Liu Zhang turn his face with himself who almost controls the two counties and holds the military power because of a family that has no use value? Liu Zhang didn't have the courage to risk being forced against him.
