Chapter 153
Liu Bei did not celebrate his true colors in a crazy way when Mianzhu surrendered after Liu Yan's death.
Instead, he worked diligently and focused on the government affairs of the court, and spent three or four days to finish the relationship between the parties before he could continue playing music and dance.
After all, the process of completely pacifying Shu in this life was much smoother than that in another time and space, and Liu Bei did not feel so upset and did not need to vent so much.
In the original history, Liu Bei spent three years to deal with Liu Zhang, and Luocheng alone fought for a year. Zhang Song and Pang Tong died one after another during the entrepreneurial process. Of course, he would hold back his energy and share the spoils and comfort him when he wanted to enter the city. Now no famous generals and advisers died, and the time was shortened by a year. There were also the imperial edict of the late emperor to endorse the subsequent work of appeaseing the people, and his mentality was much better.
During these three days, on the first day, Liu Bei sacrificed the traitors who were killed by Liu Yan, held a small meeting to set the tone, and designated them as "righteous men who were loyal to the court", giving them some mourning after death, which can be regarded as the resurrection of their classmates, distant relatives, and students' hearts, and cleverly retracting all the hatred to the dead Liu Yan.
In order to show the generous and generous support of Liu Bei's camp, Li Su suggested that those young students who were out of school because of the murder of Du Wei and Du Qiong's brothers were transferred to the newly established private school in Cai Yong, Jiangzhou to continue their studies.
Of course, it is impossible for Cai Yong to teach the class himself, at least it was also a transfer of the teaching of Cai Yong's students, so as not to be on par with Li Su's academic qualifications, Li Su himself is just Cai Yong's disciples. If the new cat and dog can become Li Su's junior brother, then wouldn't it be a mess?
Coincidentally, since Cai Yong took the banner of defying Dong and Guan Yu actually sent troops to Jingzhou to obtain the foothold of Yidu County, Liu Bei's camp's channels for recruiting talented scholars have been further broadened. After all, with the northern attack on Dong and Henan Yin area being gradually destroyed by Dong Zhuo, more and more scholars have fallen into Jingzhou.
There is an outpost in Jingzhou to recruit people, so the efficiency is much higher.
Cai Yong wrote a few letters casually and asked his original students to work in Jingzhou, almost responding to the response.
Gu Yong, Wujun, just became the magistrate of Hefei two years ago. After receiving a letter from his mentor, he thought it was acceptable to be an official in Jingzhou? So he agreed to the invitation. :(/
A few years ago, when Li Su and Cai Yong first discussed the academic topic of "The Palace is Blessed" in Chenliu and Cai Yong, Gu Yong also happened to send his mentor back to his hometown. At that time, Li Su invited him to serve Liu Bei. Gu Yong politely declined because "My parents are not traveling far away", mainly considering that Youzhou is too far away.
In more than two years, as Li Su became the most popular philosopher of the way of heaven in the late years of Emperor Ling, Gu Yong felt a little regretful.
Now I find that I don’t have to go to the bitter and cold Youzhou when I serve Liu Bei? As long as I go to Jingzhou next door, the water, soil and climate are not much different from Yangzhou, so why not do it? Anyway, he was the county magistrate of Hefei, but he was not in his hometown of Wujun. It was no different from 800 miles away from home and 1,500 miles away from home.
Since Gu Yong was the regular county magistrate who was obtained before Emperor Ling's death, Liu Bei could not be inferior to his level. He was appointed as Yizhou to encourage students to do education. He was responsible for helping Cai Yong supervise all academic and political work, and will be used in a few years.
The students of Ren family, Yang family branch and Du Qiong were temporarily all become Gu Yong's students, and Li Su's nephew was successfully united.
In addition to Gu Yong, Cai Yong also had a young man who had studied with him for several months when he was in Luoyang and was highly appreciated by him. Wang Can was also from Shanyang County, Yanzhou. He was a fellow villager with Liu Biao, so after the chaos in the north, he instinctively ran to Jingzhou to avoid disaster.
But because Cai Yong did not go to Chang'an in this life, but went to Ba County and found a place to settle in Jingzhou? Wang Can was not bothered with the second master in one thing, and was too lazy to join Liu Biao. He went directly to Cai Yong to continue his studies.
Because Wang Can was young and did not become an official, Liu Bei didn't have to give him an official position. Besides, Li Su, a man from Wang Can, was not optimistic. He knew that he was just the seven sons of Jian'an, and his writings were good, so he had no practical knowledge to say that governing the country was not practical. Let him learn with Gu Yong while teaching his nephews' poetry and essays.
...
After mourning the inner respondent and arranged their students, the second thing Liu Bei did was to kill Dong Fu's whole family.
Dong Fu was the first to create prophecy and describing for Liu Yan that "there is a sage from the emperor in Yizhou" and that no one would stop him from killing his family, so there was no need to borrow Liu Yan's hand. Liu Bei could do it openly.
After all the Dong Fu people were killed, the third thing was to take advantage of the situation to investigate the hidden lands and hidden households in the three counties of the Chengdu Plain.
Good guy, don’t tell me, I won’t know if I don’t check it, I’ll be shocked when I check it.
The Yang family killed alone concealed more than 20,000 strong men in Pi County, with a total population of more than 70,000, which allowed them to be exempted from paying taxes to the court and performing labor service in previous years.
The Ren family and Du Qiong, together, hid more than 30,000 strong men. The strongest Dong family hid 50,000 to 60,000.
Taking Pi County as an example, the hidden fields seized by the Yang family and its side branches and party members in the base area of Pi County reached 2 million acres, accounting for half of the total arable land of 67 million acres of han acres in Pi County.
In addition, Yang's publicly held nearly two million acres of Han mu on the books. They originally actually occupied two-thirds of the land in a county, half hidden and half publicly, and one-third were from other landlords and self-cultivated farmers.
The four scholars of Shu Confucian scholars who were ranked before Chen Shi were swept around and directly showed up taxes and corvee services in several counties.
Liu Bei was also very satisfied and took advantage of the complete end of the battle in Yizhou and added additional seals to his subordinates and distributed them to land.
Li Su was represented by Liu Bei from Marquis of Piting to Marquis of Pixiang, and his fief increased from 800 households to 1,500 households. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both increased their fiefs in equal measure. However, their actual titles and titles must be officially recognized by the court in the future.
After completing the above three things, Liu Bei could finally breathe a sigh of relief and temporarily enter a state of enjoying life.
After all, I have received so much benefit from fighting monsters and upgrading to kill (sin) people to seize treasures. How can I be worthy of myself if I’m not happy?
This is different from the situation in history when Zhao Yun dissuaded him to "distinguish between the land and houses of the scholars in Yizhou". Therefore, even if he was as honest as Zhao Yun, he did not speak up to stop Liu Bei. Zhao Yun just did not want to grant any title to him.
...
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, on the third night after Mianzhu recovered, Liu Bei held a banquet and had a full dance and music in the Xinzhou Palace in Chengdu, allowing all the heroes to celebrate their efforts over the past two years and finally ushered in a final victory.
"Come on, play music and dance. No one will be drunk tonight! No one will fall from this platform and it's not over! Unfortunately, Yun Chang is still in Jingzhou, and we can't be happy with us today. Yide, you have to drink Yun Chang's portion too!"
Liu Bei was obviously drunk a little, and he was talking while filming the case. The silver plate on the case jumped up. It was not until the soup in the copper hotpot splashed on his face that he realized that today's table was different from previous years and he could not be so excited about filming.
Unexpectedly, he could hardly suppress his excitement after searching so many things.
"Don't worry, brother! I'll drink for him for the second brother!" Zhang Fei agreed to this task very generously, without feeling embarrassed at all.
However, as a hero who fought against Mu Shou, he still had to talk about some serious matters after drinking too much.
Just as the common people who like to give advice when drinking, men's desire for power cannot be curbed. Chatting is not called work, it does not affect leisure, or even leisure itself.
Liu Bei was eating the sausage rabbit and asked Li Su, who was sitting on the left: "Boya, Yizhou is now pacified, but the Han Dynasty is still in decline, Dong thief steals his life, and the emperor is covered with dust. I want to believe in the great righteousness of the world, but the chariot and cavalry generals repeatedly stopped it.
But I heard that Huangfu Song was indeed imprisoned and questioned by Dong Zhuo recently, all because his son Huangfu Jianshou abandoned his official position and went to Beijing to express his gratitude for dismissal, and then he was demoted to the commoner and released him back to his hometown. In addition, Zhang Wen, who had been Dong Zhuo's boss before Huangfu Song, was also killed by Dong Zhuo on the pretext of being killed.
Dong's thief was so tyrannical that he killed or demoted his former benefactor and superior. The situation was obviously no longer the same as Huangfu Song had when he stopped us. After the New Year, I wanted to raise troops to fight against the thief. Do you think the plan will come out?"
Li Su put down the silver chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "Brother wants to believe in righteousness in the world, and the heart of supporting the Han Dynasty can be seen. However, since Huangfu Song has been wiped out by Dong Zhuo, the opportunity for our army to leave Qinchuan in the north has also been lost.
The Shu road is difficult and the transportation is costly. We must send surprise troops to attack the enemy without any preparation. Only by hitting one attack can we do it. If we advance every year, we will make the enemy alert and be on high alert, there will be no chance. Please ask your brother to temporarily focus on letting Yun Chang lead the partial army to follow Sun Jian to challenge Dong to show our army's ambition. If you are worried that Yun Chang's army lacks iron cavalry and cannot defeat the Xiliang army, Zilong can send thousands of cavalry to help the battle in Kaichun.
Since Dong Zhuo had moved to Guanzhong, Luoyang would be abandoned sooner or later. Xu Han said that it was also very dangerous. From the difficulty of Henan Yin's attack on Chang'an, the five Guandong countries in the past were a precedent. Our army could only wait for Guanzhong to change and then highlight the surprise troops and lead the Yizhou people out of Qinchuan. Who dared not to eat a pot of slurry to welcome the king's army?"
In fact, Liu Bei did not think that he would immediately turn all his attention to the challenge of Dong. Huangfu Song's words "The Han family members should avoid suspicion when they challenge Dong" were still in his ears.
The reason why Liu Bei asked this question was mainly to lay the groundwork. After all, after Liu Yan was finished, the task assigned to him by the imperial edict had been completely completed. He is now in a state of emptiness and confusion where "no NPC can take the task".
After all, since the fourth year of Zhongping, since he met Li Su, everyone has been working together for nearly 4 years. There has always been a court task sent by the court, and it is not used to finding tasks by himself.
Moreover, Liu Bei is definitely not able to take the initiative to promote the Wuming Army to seize other people's foundation, unless Li Sulai is the war madman who persuades him to start a war.
Liu Bei sipped a cup of smooth breath and sighed: "Dong Zhuo cannot be removed suddenly, and he has to wait for changes in Guanzhong. What should our army do next? Just manage the local area and train troops and station grain? Should the plan be limited to one year, two years or three years?"
Li Su: "What's wrong with the internal political practice? In the past, Emperor Gaozu protected Guanzhong and Guangwu occupied Henei, and they all had deep roots to consolidate the foundation to control the world. Although Yizhou is pacified, our army's actual control is nothing more than Hanzhong, Ba County, and Chengdu Plain.
However, the counties in the south central city still claimed that their brother was not the imperial court's enthronement of the "prefecture governor" and were only the "governor". Although they did not rebel, they did not obey the orders. It happened to take advantage of the period when Guanzhong was unchanged, and they used both suppression and pacification, supplemented with education, trade and other policies, so that the Han and barbarian soldiers and civilians could all be used for me."
When Liu Bei heard this, he interrupted: "Do you want to use troops? Or do you need to rest for a year with the people?"
Li Su: "This is not contradictory. Even if you have to use troops next year, it will not hinder your rest with the people."
Liu Beiqi said: "Oh? Why is this?"
Li Su: "The southern central area is very hot and has miasma. The miasma is particularly heavy in spring, so even if you need to use troops, the people can work with peace of mind next year. After the autumn harvest, they can use troops in winter. They must guard the troops before February of the following year."
