Two and a half months ago, Li Su went from Yizhou to Jingzhou and Li Su left Chengdu for less than ten days. However, this time, the return journey against the current took more than twenty days.

Especially when passing through the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, there are also a need for a boatman towing. Since Guan Yu took over Yiling County three years ago, Liu Bei's camp has been sending people to manage the Three Gorges route.

In any small and flat area along the mountainous areas, where terraces can be developed, try to develop terraces and resettle landless tenants who immigrate to Shu to farm nearby. Not only does the government provide oxen and farm tools, but it does not charge rent or transfer households. As long as the government is fed two months a year, the labor force will be used to compensate the rent and tax.

It can be said that the mountain people in these areas were the first to enjoy the dividends of the reform of renting and mediocre revisions under the rule of the Hanzhong King, but they could not choose to pay the "rental" or "remediation", and could only force the "mediocre".

Although Li Su himself is the planner of all this, he did not leave Shu in person in previous years, so he has only enjoyed the service of the Three Gorges Trampoker for the first time in person, and the experience is quite novel.

When passing Zigui County, he stopped at the pier for a while and looked at the grass to observe some people's conditions. Li Su also accidentally discovered some very novel management methods.

It turned out that he saw an assessment point on the dock where he held a stone pier and a stone barbell. There were county soldiers enforced the law there and tested his strength for groups of boaters.

Li Su only knew that in later generations, when the quantitative management was relatively rigorous, the recruitment army would assess the physical fitness, but he did not expect that when he was a boatman in labor service, he would also have to assess the physical fitness, so he asked his followers to ask about the situation.

After his personal companion came back, he reported: "General, this is the new Yiling County Governor Dong He, who came up with the method two years ago, was also the county magistrate. It is said that he was a civilian who served in the service of the Fiber. Sometimes he liked to work but not work hard. Often, merchant ships passed by, and the force was uneven, and accidents were easily caused. General Zhao had punished some people at the beginning.

Later, Prefect Dong developed the "ship charter system" and determined how many stones the boat should be equipped with several boatmen. All of them were calculated and confirmed correctly. They also determined how much force each standard adult boatman should put in. Based on this, anyone who can lift a stone weighing 400 kilograms with hemp rope will be considered qualified.

Only qualified boatmen can calculate according to only two months of labor service a year and five hours a day. If they fail, there are still three hundred jins of Hanjin and two hundred jin stone codes that can be hung. Those civilians must be extended by three months or four months of labor service every year, or the number of hours of service every day. Those who have more strength will also be rewarded. Those who can raise five hundred jins of Hanjin will be reduced by ten days of service every year."

Li Su thought it was quite interesting after hearing this.

The historical records of Dong He only have comments on the words "governing counties and counties, and achieving remarkable achievements", but there is no detailed record of internal affairs. It is not as detailed as his son Dong Yun, and at least it was later included in the "Four Prime Ministers of Shu Han".

Unexpectedly, his ability to manage the performance appraisal of working people was quite humane. Four hundred kilograms were only 170 to 80 kilograms. Even if the ancients had poor nutrition, they should be able to move them. Later generations had more than 230 kilograms of recruiting stones by Zheng Chengli in the late Ming Dynasty.

Li Su just asked casually: "What if you can raise 600 or 700 jin of Hanjin? You can also reduce the ten-day corvee service period for every 100 jin? This has to be calculated according to the proportion, and you cannot directly reduce it, right? Otherwise, those who raise 100 jin will not need to do corvee service directly."

The inquirer of the situation replied with a smile: "Dong Taishou's algorithm was wrong at the beginning, and the strong men took advantage of the loopholes. So later it was changed to a month of labor service that cost 800 kilograms. Those who exceeded 800 kilograms could be directly appointed as county soldiers, and they would become commanders when they joined the army. In the past two years, these strong men were sent to General Zhao's place, and this year they were sent to Yiling City of Zhou's lieutenant."

He can already raise 800 jin of Han jin. He was considered a strong man at the end of the Han Dynasty. Why did he still serve as a corvee? He directly took him to join the army and eat imperial grain. Whether it is Zhao Yun or Zhou Tai now, he welcomes such soldiers to join the army.

"Donghe still has the same management system." After resting from Zigui, a group of boatmen set off again through Wuxia. Li Su was still feeling the effect of the management system along the way.

...

A fleet of ships traveled west from Baqiu on June 15th, entered the Three Gorges on the 19th, arrived in Yong'an on the 28th, and returned to Jiangzhou on the 2nd of July.

It will take seven or eight days to arrive in Chengdu in the next place, but after arriving in Jiangzhou, Li Su can already send out a fast horse messenger and go directly to Chengdu to report the message, which can arrive five days faster than a boat trip against the current.

After all, this time I brought back a lot of unexpected emergency military information, especially the news of Liu Yu's death, which Liu Bei must know as soon as possible. As for the daily work of "preventing the collusion between promiscuous businessmen and tyrants from counterattacking the new law", there is no need to worry.

On the early morning of the fifth day of the seventh month, Li Su was sailing against the current and had not yet arrived at the road, and the messenger had already arrived in Chengdu.

Liu Bei was in the Hanzhong King's Palace in Chengdu at that time. In the past half month, he was addicted to the harem and didn't even want to deal with government affairs. The main reason was that he had just received good news that his princess Wu Xian was pregnant. When the medical officer in the palace was diagnosed, it should have been one and a half months. So now, it has been a full two months of pregnancy.

It was last autumn when Liu Bei was defeated and returned. In order to encourage someone from the Wu family to cut off his rear and die in battle, and to need Wu Kuang's connections to attract the old subordinates of the Northern Army in the capital, he ordered to marry Wu Xian.

According to the etiquette of "the emperor was one year and the princes were half a year", plus the sequelae of arrow injuries on Liu Bei's leg last autumn, it was not cured by Hua Tuo's surgery at that time, and those who were sick were also unintentional to be beautiful at the time. Adding up various factors, Liu Bei could not officially deliver the grand ceremony of the princess in February this year.

After officially establishing the princess, she indulged in continuous cultivation for two or three months. As a result, Wu Xian became pregnant at the end of April and early May, and it was confirmed in mid-June. So the news had not yet reached Jingzhou, Li Su, and Zhao Yun, and other civil and military officials.

However, the medical technology at the end of the Han Dynasty could not confirm men and women, so Liu Bei did not want to make a statement, so he would not have a loud thunder and rain. He still had no son to inherit the throne, which was purely arousing the appetite and could not boost the morale of the people. So he wanted to hold it in, and only the senior management knew it in a small way, and then decided whether to promote it when he was born.

This cannot be blamed for favoring boys over girls. After all, they are all taken over by the King of Hanzhong. It is possible to have a son before he becomes a regular leader to strengthen the cohesion of the entire camp and make everyone feel more at ease and willing to be loyal.

On that day, Liu Bei was indulging in the palace to enjoy the pleasure (to be precise, to be satisfied with the concubines, and then enjoy the pleasure with the concubines), and then a palace maid came to inform Li Su that his secret letter had arrived.

"Boya is coming back? That's right. It's almost three months old. Let's come forward." Liu Bei did not need the Northern Expedition this year, and as long as he manages internal affairs in Chengdu, some of his thighs have been reborn and has not yet entered the state.

After sorting out my clothes, I took the secret letter and saw that it first reported two important matters on my side.

The first is the achievements of Baqiu Fengjiang, and he also made a lot of money by monopolizing business.

The second is that the entire Guiyang area has surrendered, and Lingling still has several counties in the Wuling Mountains. Because it is too hot now and it is impossible to enter the jungle area to transport grain, Zhao Yun stationed in Quanling and Yingpu, waiting for the cooler autumn to give Liu Du and Zhangjin the last blow. Moreover, Zhao Yun guaranteed that there would be no problem.

"What are you worried about about these things? Zilong is so persistent and goes to the world. So what if Liu Du and Bao Long live for a few more months? Yo, Zilong also accepted the daughter of Fan, a powerful man in Guiyang County, and wanted to marry a wife? What a national character. He actually asked Zilong to marry the surname Fan instead of Zhen Rong, tsk."

Liu Bei complained casually and scolded, and planned to let Zhao Yun explain. However, as soon as he turned to the next page, he couldn't laugh immediately.

"Impossible... absolutely impossible! Uncle Bo'an is so popular that no one can compare to the world! Only when all directions surrender, how could he be betrayed and killed by his subordinates! What's more, it's Senior Brother Bo Gui, ah!!! Why do you two have to force each other to live and die? Why can you let the orphans deal with it? No! Did you secretly change Boya's secret letter? Come on, let me examine this messenger!"

The messenger was also wronged and quickly shouted: "The king is wronged! Stop the anger! The right general's secret letter is intact, the bamboo tube is sealed with wax, and the king took it apart by himself. The villain was by the right general's side for several years. Can't the king recognize it?

This time, the right general did see Mi Zhu and Mi Mansion's secret envoy, and went back to the ship at night. It was because of this urgent matter that the villain rushed to Jiangzhou to report it."

Liu Bei's legs became weak and he fell to the ground, and he slapped the ground with his sleeves: "Boom him out! Let Gu Jing be quiet! Uncle..."

The palace guards immediately forked the messenger out, but there was no other pushing. They all knew that the king might not be able to accept the bad news, and the messenger was innocent.

"King, what's the sadness? Didn't this mean that this is a letter from the Right General? Then the Right General will not be in trouble, right? Could it be that something happened to General Fubo? As long as they are fine, even if the war is frustrated and the city is lost, it is a common thing for military strands."

Mi Zhen and Zhen Jiang heard the movements in front of them in the harem, and Liu Bei's crying and rushing out without avoiding the inside and outside, holding Liu Bei with one left and one right to comfort him.

Liu Bei gently but firmly shook his sleeves: "Go away! I will not be close to my daughter from now on, so I will hang filial piety for my uncle Bo'an for three days. From now on, dance and banquet will be prohibited for one month! It is King Yan, and Uncle Bo'an was killed by a rebel general.

If it weren’t for him, he had the right path to the officialdom when he pacified Youzhou. If it weren’t for him, Boya, how could I wait today? Unexpectedly, before the world was peaceful, he went first... It was Gongsun Bogui who took action. How could he handle the situation?!"

Liu Bei cried for a while, and soon the atmosphere in the palace changed. Everyone strictly enforced his kingly orders. Most of the meat dishes for dinner that day were removed. Only the pregnant princess could eat some nourishing food. Everyone started eating vegetarian food from the king.

That night, it spread throughout Chengdu City. Within three days, even Guan Yu, who was far away from Nan'an, came back. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei comforted Liu Bei, and followed Liu Bei to wear a linen and white hoop for three days to set up a remote sacrifice outside the city.

After calming down a little, Liu Bei had to ask the counselors around him about how to condemn Gongsun Zan and how to draw a clear line. After all, Liu Bei had more trouble than others, that is, he was a senior brother, and he could not be like others when condemned.

Xun You, the prefect of Shu County, helped him think of an idea: "The king, I have served in Luoyang and Chang'an for many years. As far as I know, after the court moved westward, Shangshu Lu resigned and returned home, and later lived in Shanggu. When Shangshu passed away last year, the king also paid vegetarian greetings to him, but the king had just returned from Wuzhangyuan and was injured, so he did not have a full courtesy.

Shangshu Lu should still have children in Shanggu and Zhuo County. He should be less than fifteen years old and still belongs to Tong Meng. Although Gongsun Zan had acted in a rebellious manner, Yuan Shao would not be able to break through the counties of Youzhou in several months. Since the king had acted as a good friend of Yuan Shao, he would send someone to control the prefectures and counties through Yuan Shao and to his hometown in Zhuo County to pick up the descendants of Shangshu Lu. Gongsun Zan should not make things difficult for the king.

After taking it back, it was said that Lu Shangshu left his will and the rules of the sect, and that anyone who committed all kinds of sins would be expelled from the sect. At that time, since the king expelled Gongsun Zan from the sect with the will of Lu Shangshu, he would not have to worry about condemning him."
