Seeing the agreement handed over by Lu Kang, Yuan Shu smiled like a thief. Very good, another large amount of land was deceived by him.

It feels really good to exchange half of Yizhou, which is still barren, for so much land, and at the same time, the other party will help you build and pay taxes.

This is what an aristocratic family should do! Yuan Shu thought unscrupulously, what's the point of sitting at home and resting on your laurels? Go out and open up wasteland for me. As long as you find the right path, things are that simple! Hello, hello, hello, everyone.

There are also islands nearby, including Hainan Island. The four islands of Japan are also in my recent plans. It seems that I need to recruit more aristocratic families, otherwise it will be really difficult to manage so many places.

The group of aristocratic families in Jingzhou should be good, with high quality, deep foundation, and relatively strong navy, which is suitable for him to work for. Yuan Shu has now begun to make plans for those aristocratic families in Jingzhou.

The enfeoffment method currently adopted by Yuan Shu still has many benefits.

If the power under Yuan Shu's command is like a big tree, then these aristocratic families had nothing to do while helping him grow. They were also like moths, corroding their roots, absorbing their essence, and hindering their progress.

Now Yuan Shu's method is to directly block land for them, which is equivalent to cutting out a few small branches and giving them as seedlings, so that they can plant trees by themselves. In the end, these trees will all be theirs.

One is mutual restraint and mutual compromise, the other is a win-win situation, and of course the latter is better. But what we have to worry about is that they have grown stronger and replaced us, and there is also the problem of insufficient control.

However, Yuan Shu is not sealing his own territory, but the "newly discovered" "barren land" around him. No matter how he seals it, his strength will never be weakened. If he wants to seal the land, he must open up more territory for the central government and

Benefit.

This is essentially different from the enfeoffment of the Zhou Dynasty. One is to cut the flesh of oneself to enfeoff the heroes, and the other is to borrow chickens to lay eggs and let the noble families and capable people under them work to provide themselves with land and resources. Except that the land is discovered by oneself.

In addition, all other construction and development are completed by the family, and you can get more than half of the benefits without doing basically anything.

Yuan Shu's methods can be seen by all the aristocratic families, but they cannot refuse this temptation. Because the benefits brought by this kind of enfeoffment are far greater than what they have now. They work hard for Yuan Shu now, but in the future they will

You can get more benefits.

Deeply proud of his wisdom and martial arts, Yuan Shu agreed to the arrangement in the contract with a stroke of his pen, and happily went to the backyard to chat with Feng and Diao Chan.

Not long after arriving in Yangzhou, Feng became close with Diao Chan and constantly proposed to Yuan Shu that he should take Diao Chan as his concubine.

Mrs. Feng can be said to be a virtuous and virtuous person, generous and decent. It is no wonder that her predecessor would marry her, and she was so caring that she never took a concubine.

Because of fertility problems, Ms. Feng had repeatedly suggested that Yuan Shu take a concubine, but the more she said this, the more her predecessor felt sorry for her, and she became even more unwilling to take a concubine. It was also for this reason that the predecessor doted on Yuan Yaocai so much that he was so fond of her.

Feed him to waste.

Feng also discovered the changes in Yuan Shu over the past year. She was afraid that her son would not be able to inherit her husband's career in the future, so she became more determined to find some concubines for Yuan Shu.

After all, no matter what, even if Yuan Shu's concubine gave birth to a child and inherited Yuan Shu's legacy, then as his head wife, she would also be his mother-in-law, and her status would be there.

But if in the end the foundation is inherited by adopted sons like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, I guess I won't get any good results. Even if they treat me well, their descendants and the interest groups behind them will be wary of me.

Finding a virtuous concubine for her husband has become a top priority for Feng. Ever since she discovered the existence of Diao Chan and figured out her gentle temperament, she has been helping Yuan Shu to say good things to Diao Chan all day long, hoping to win over her.

Two people.

Yuan Shu was very happy to have such a wife who wanted to let her husband take a concubine. He had some small thoughts in his heart, so naturally he slowly agreed to the matter. In the end, such a beauty as Diao Chan could not get rid of Yuan Shu.

Devil's Claw, half-heartedly agreed.

After all, she is just a weak woman, so how can she have any right to speak? In this troubled world, it is the best outcome to find a strong man with good character to rely on.

As for her foster father Wang Yun, who she missed, Yuan Shu naturally followed her wishes and went to rescue him. However, the old man was very stubborn and refused without hesitation. He wanted to revitalize the Han Dynasty.

Although Yuan Shu admired such a person, he still didn't like him. After all, this guy's future success was achieved at the expense of Diao Chan, and it was because of his stubbornness and stubbornness that he forced Li Jue and Guo Si to rebel and ruined his life.

An important opportunity to revive the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shu was really disgusted with such a stubborn old man who was die-hardly loyal to the Han Dynasty. If he didn't come, it would save Yuan Shu a headache. After all, what he did was a treasonous thing.

While Yuan Shu was chatting and spanking with his two wives, Zhang Liao and Gan Ning had already set off to attack Jingzhou by water and land respectively.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou was not in as good a mood as Yuan Shu at this time, he was already very worried.

I finally escaped the clutches of Dong Zhuo, the butcher, and came to Jingzhou. When I was about to show off my talents, I didn't expect that Yuan Shu would come calling after I had just been here for two months and was not familiar with the land.

Fortunately, although Jingzhou is not yet under his control, he has enough soldiers and armor, with an army of more than 200,000. Moreover, Huang Zu and Cai Mao, the two people who control most of Jingzhou's troops, have offended Yuan Shu and did not need Liu Biao's orders.

Begin to prepare for the battle.

However, Liu Biao still felt that something was not safe and planned to write a letter to his old friend Tao Qian for help.

"Zirou, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy? Yuan Shu's attack is so fierce that I, Jingzhou, may not be able to resist it!"

Liu Biao asked Kuai Liang, the chief think tank under his command. Liu Biao still trusted this adviser who single-handedly helped him control Jingzhou's political affairs.

Kuai Liang looked at the impatient Liu Biao and sighed in his heart. This man was more than conservative but not enterprising enough. Although he had great literary talent, he was a bit too bookish. In troubled times, he could only be a housekeeper in troubled times. Yuan Shu has not yet attacked.

I was so panicked when I came here.

Sighing slightly in his heart, Kuai Liang said with relief: "My lord, please don't disturb me. We have an army of 250,000 in Jingzhou, as well as two generals, Huang Zu and Cai Mao. As long as we defend to the death, Yuan Shu will definitely be unable to do anything to us."

"What's more, Tao Qian of Xuzhou is a friend of my lord, and Yuan Shu does not dare to use all his troops to attack us. My lord does not need to worry."

After listening to Kuai Liang's words, Liu Biao also realized that he was a little too panicked. He had the advantage in troops and was still on the defensive. How could Yuan Shu succeed so easily? He felt relieved a little.

Little did he know that what Kuai Liang just said was to comfort him, and Kuai Liang himself was not as optimistic as he said.

Yuan Shu was a man who had been studied in depth by Kuai Liang. He was a man of great talent and strategy, with a good understanding of people. He had countless good advisers and generals. His army easily defended Yangzhou under the siege of three states half a year ago. The combat power was probably that of Cai Mao and Huang.

It is difficult for the ancestors to defeat them together.
