"The lord doesn't want to delay the preparation time this winter. Let me go to Zhutishi to take a look and supervise them to cultivate water conservancy and come back in the first month and will not miss the wedding date. This month, you can be careful and just go back to my fiefdom to rectify the house's internal affairs."

When Li Su came back from Liu Bei, of course, he had to say hello to his fiancee who was approaching his marriage and explain the situation.

Cai Yan was indeed a little disappointed: "It's the cold winter month and I'm still out for a long trip? The General of the Western Expedition can really help you. Let me prepare you for winter clothes for a long trip."

Li Su smiled and caressed: "Don't worry, this is your first year to spend the winter in Chengdu, right? I don't know that the south is warm, but when you arrive at Zhuti, it will be warmer than here. Just think I'm going to the southern Maowen. In a few years, when the road is clear, you can take you to Muma County, Kunming people and Dianchi County for winter. There are warm flowers everywhere, so just come back before the spring is hot."

He also tried his best to eliminate the inner uneasiness of his fiancée, so he told him that the south was not cold.

In fact, only Jadao County in Jianwei County is warmer than Chengdu, but Zhuti County in Zhuti County is still slightly colder than Chengdu. The temperature cannot be simply dependent on the latitude, but also on the terrain.

The Jade Road (Yibin) is located on the southern edge of the Sichuan Basin, and it still has a warm and humid basin climate. Zhuti (Zhaotong) has a mountainous climate. Only when Tanglang (Qujing) and Dianchi Lake (Kunming) are much warmer than the Jade Road.

Li Su himself is also a person who cherishes his life. He is more awe of the tropical diseases and miasma in Nanzhong than other time travelers. Therefore, even if Liu Bei doesn't know how to do it, he will accept it selectively. If he catches up with the hot season, he will force him to go and not go.

In the next few years, as long as the world has not changed, Li Su had already arranged his annual work schedule clearly: he lived in Shu County, the country of Tianfu for nine months in spring, summer and autumn, and went to Yunnan during the winter.

After explaining to his family, Li Su had to prepare his aide. Because he had no skills to run away, he had to find a deputy to continue working when he was away.

He thought about it and first went to a quick horse letter to Dianjiang, Bajun, and asked Guoyuan, the military field commander to take the Yangtze River route to the Jade Road to meet him. In the future, the infrastructure improvement of Zhuti County would be expected to be held by Guoyuan, a veteran who had experience in military field repairing water conservancy in the Jialing River Basin, to preside over the long term.

The shipping transit towns along the Jialing River were already connected in the Diaoyu City Battle in the first half of this year. Therefore, Guoyuan’s main workplace is the section between Diaoyu City and Jiangzhou after the recovery of Diaoyu City, and he was stationed in Dianjiang. After Guoyuan left, the follow-up work on Dianjiang was handed over to his junior brother Cheng Bing. Anyway, from zero to one is the most difficult. The subsequent Xiao Gui and Cao Sui and expand the talents required for reproduction will not be so high.

The disciples under the great scholar Zheng Xuan learned too much about their knowledge of judging etiquette. Liu Bei did not use so many ritual talents. If he could transform into economic construction, he would try his best to transform into economic construction.

In order to cheer up Guoyuan, Li Su painted a lot of big cakes in his letters, saying that after Zhu Ti was in charge of the work, he could be promoted to "Stand Field Army Captain". In the future, the governance of Nanzhong will be greatly improved and the world will change. He could also be promoted to "Salvation General of the Diannong Army".

Anyway, these official positions were all the rank promotion channels set by Cao Cao for military farming officials in history, just like P7P8P9 going all the way. Zao Zhi, Guoyuan, and Han Hao in history have all been the General of the Dianyuan.

However, the official positions in Liu Bei's camp have not yet been inflated, and Li Su himself still has the "Entering General of the Central Army". Of course, it is impossible to be granted the Central Army of the Central Army of the Military Land Office by a few tricks.

So this big cake has to wait for a wave of Wang Yun to kill Dong, and the official position will be depreciated before it can be fulfilled.

After dealing with Zhu Ti's aide, Li Su also needs to find someone who will be the "Shu County Chief" during his departure.

For a moment, he had nothing to do with his hands, reliable and easy to use. After thinking about it, he had to find Zhuge Jin, who had always been teaching by him, to have a meal at home.

...

"Tiyu, how long have you been with me?" Li Su was not polite to the maid and went straight to the point at the dinner table.

Zhuge Jin thought carefully: "It's almost two and a half years."

Li Su rubbed her temples: "Did I say that you would teach you Lingdi and Mi Wei and others to study for three years before you can become an official?"

Zhuge Jin thought Li Su was worried about how to fulfill his contract, so he quickly said that if there was no official, he would not be anxious: "The emperor of the mansion puts trust and righteousness first, and Jin is very grateful, but it doesn't matter whether he will become an official. I heard that Shu County was pacified and after the Du family was destroyed, many students who lost their disciples were transferred to the school of Mr. Cai and Gu Yuantan.

This is also an important matter, and it is related to whether the General of the Western Expedition can completely win over the hearts of the scholars in Shu. If there is nothing else, I would like to take my second and third brothers and Mi Wei to go to the Cai Gong. I can help Brother Yuantan do something, and my second and third brothers can continue my studies there."

Li Su couldn't help laughing: "You think I can't find an official to do it for you? I'm afraid you can't do it. I told my lord, first appoint you as the county magistrate of Shu County. After all, you have just officially entered the official position and have too little qualifications. You have been the county magistrate. You have worked for a few years and have done well, and then promoted you to the chief magistrate. Lingzun was just the county magistrate when he was alive. You are now the county magistrate, and you are doing it well."

The reason why I told Zhuge Jin that he would teach his younger brothers and sisters to study for three years was because after Zhuge Gui's death, the Zhuge brothers had to be filial for three years according to Confucian filial piety and etiquette. Therefore, in the past few years, Zhuge Jin worked as a white-collar worker with Li Su. Li Su gave him living expenses, but did not give him a formal official position.

But everyone knows that the so-called three years are actually twenty-seven months. Zhuge Gui died in the autumn of 188, and now it is the end of 190, which has been more than one or two months.

After the New Year, Zhuge Jin will be 19 years old and Zhuge Liang will be 12 years old. After the hard study and training in the past two and a half years, Zhuge Liang has matured a lot. Although he cannot be formally appointed as a child laborer, he can also come up with ideas occasionally.

When Zhuge Jin heard this, he was indeed grateful: "My father only became the county magistrate in his life. Now that Jin has just entered the official position, the lord of the government has been appointed as the county magistrate. How can this be defeated? It is already too high."

Li Su patted him on the shoulder: "You know in your heart that it is not actually a vocational official. After all, I have been working as a quarrel for two years and I deserve it."

Zhuge Jin: "I must work diligently when I am a humble position and live up to my great trust."

Li Su also took out a few drafts, which were all the farming contents he had imagined in the next few years, and ordered: "Shu County has just recovered, so the first year is to rest with the people, and don't make big plans to disturb the people. I have some wonderful methods here, and I'm afraid the people will not appreciate it if they force it to promote it.

You can first try out the townships that serve as my fief in Pi County, my fief. Those are the vestigators under my rule. Everything should be listened to me unconditionally, and there will be no resistance to pilot promotion. When Pi County is well piloted, the farming and the money and grain are more abundant than elsewhere, and the trade is prosperous. When the surrounding counties see the sweetness, they will actively imitate it. Then there will be no resistance to promote it.

Anyway, we need not rush to ensure stability in everything. Those novel and good policies will be promoted in Pi County in the first year, Shu County in the second year, and Jianwei and Guanghan in the third year, and there will be no rush to promote them."

Li Su has time to make steady progress.

Zhuge Jin also thought the pace was good, so he respectfully took Li Su's farming plan and prepared to go back and study it slowly with his younger brother.

Li Su spent another day or two in Chengdu to prepare, and then took Dian Wei, the guard commander, and some entourage to the harbor on a boat.

Dian Wei and Li Su have been with Li Su for so many years, and it has been a bit of a loss of price as the governor of the tooth gate again, so Li Su took advantage of Yizhou to pacify this wave of promotion and promoted him to the Chief Guard.

All the Han generals can set up their own guard commanders, and they belong to the shogunate of each general, not the court official position. Li Su himself is just a general of the Central Army, and it cannot be arranged like the generals who opened the shogunate, but Liu Bei gave him special preferential treatment and already gave Li Su his own de facto treatment of "setting a shogunate staff member".

On the way, I went down the river and the boat drove very fast. I walked across most of the Minjiang River in three days and arrived at the Wu Road from Pi County.

At that time, the five southern counties of Jianwei County were demolished into Zhuti County. After the division, the dividing line between Jianwei and Zhuti was located in Wudao.

After leaving the county town of Yandao, we went south and followed the Yangtze River upwards, and then left the border of Jianwei. The southeast bank of the Yangtze River is Zhuti County, and the northwest bank of the Yangtze River is Yueshi County.

...

When Li Su arrived at Jade Road, not only did Jade Road County Magistrate come to pay his respects, but even Pang Xi, the prefect of Zhuti who had just taken office for two months, took the initiative to come.

Pang Xi’s residence, Zhuti County, is 350 miles away from the Jade Road, and it’s more than 350 miles away by water or mountain road. It’s more than 100% off by taking a circumference of the water or mountain road. You can tell how far it is from Yibin to Zhaotong on Baidu map.

So Pang Xi was trembling when he came out to welcome him. Maybe he thought Li Su was here to kill the donkey to settle him, and Liu Bei's promise to confer him the prefect Zhu Ti was not counted.

Li Su was very satisfied with this: "Pang Taishou is really diligent in government affairs. He didn't expect to cross a mountain and come to welcome him. Compared with the water conservancy and road rectification affairs assigned by the General of the West, Pang Taishou will do his best to cooperate with it."

Pang Xi replied in a frightened bird: "It's not hard or hard, I didn't come over the mountains. I took a boat to go down the Yangguan River and flowed down the Lu River thirty miles upstream of the road. It's quite convenient all the way. When the governor arrives here, the local area should cooperate."

Yangguanshui was later called Guanhe, which is a small tributary flowing from Zhaotong city to the upper reaches of Yibin and into the Yangtze River. This waterway is relatively gentle and has no reefs and dangerous shoals, so if you just want to communicate with Zhaotong, it is best to walk this river in Yibin.

But the biggest problem with this river is that the source of the highest reaches only reach Zhaotong city in later generations, and then it was cut off.

In order to achieve the requirement that Li Su opens the waterway and directly reaches Kunming and Qujing, he or she has to open up a route in the middle of the Jinsha River and then turn to the waterway. That is the first step.

Taking advantage of Pang Xi's initiative to mention this topic, Li Su was not polite and said directly: "It's inconvenient to go to Yangguan. The lord asked me to come this time to see if we can clear the Lushui water channel in winter. After the autumn harvest next year, our army will clear the business roads that arrived in Dianchi County, Jianning County."

Pang Xi accompanied him to confirm carefully: "The general of the Western Expedition to Expedition to the Kunming barbarians of Dianchi Lake? Then... will the army and military supplies pass through us Zhuti?"

Pang Xi complained secretly, and finally was sent to Zhu Ti, and he thought he could become a rich man from the local emperor, so why was it still a strategic military strategist who was going to fight?

There was no choice but to be careful to serve Li Su, the surrendered governor.
