"You took such a big risk to come to Xiangyang, probably not just to ask these questions." Sima Hui said.

"of course not."

"Then why did you come?"

Sima Yi smiled slightly, looked in the direction of Yizhou and said: "Yuan Shu is patrolling the west. Naturally, I have to come and see this well-hidden southern overlord."

"Is it just a meeting?" Sima Hui questioned. Others didn't know, but he knew very well what kind of person this kid was. He was full of bad intentions, looked at his appearance like a hawk, and looked like a treacherous person at first glance.

"By the way, I can give him some fun and see if this Jiangdong Yingzhu really lives up to his name." A terrifying smile appeared on Sima Yi's lips, and excitement showed in his eyes.

Even the mature Sima Hui couldn't help but feel cold all over. Thinking about his disciple who was as gentle as jade and righteous, he felt that it was not without reason that these two people became mortal enemies. One was righteous and the other was evil, even if

Even if they are in the same camp, they are definitely not at odds!

"You are about to become a sperm at a young age, so why are you so gloomy? Your eldest brother, who is a humble gentleman, cannot influence you, and you will definitely not listen to what my cheap uncle says. But for the sake of the same clan,

I still want to advise you. Don’t play too much and get yourself into trouble. The water in Jiangdong is far deeper than you think. Guo Fengxiao and Jia Wenhe are not easy to mess with." Sima Hui

warned.

Sima Yi's face straightened: "What my uncle said is absolutely true. Originally, I didn't have much hope this time, but it was just for fun. Yuan Gongli has three thousand soldiers with him, what can I do with him?"

Sima Hui sighed softly: "You are young and mature, so you must have thought about this clearly. Whether it succeeds or not, this is a good thing for you, as long as you don't get yourself into it."

"Okay, go ahead. I have never seen you, and you have never been to Lumen Academy. Nothing happened today. Do you remember it?"

Sima Yi bowed slightly: "Uncle, don't worry, my nephew knows what he knows. In order to prevent Yuan Jiujiu from noticing, my nephew resigned first."

...

Yuan Shu didn't know yet that he had been taken care of by an insidious kid. After leaving Jingzhou, the guy rushed to Yizhou in great force.

During this patrol, the newly acquired Yizhou was Yuan Shu's focus. This kind of area is easy to defend, difficult to attack, and easy to separate. Yuan Shu would be worried if he didn't come and see it in person.

Throughout the dynasties, Yizhou has basically been a small country of its own, almost isolated from the rest of the world. There is no way, there are only a few roads out of Shu, and the road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky, and the journey out there takes who knows how long.

It will take time to come back, and I’m not even sure if I can come back.

The ministers who hold military and political power in Yizhou only need to seal off those roads, and Yizhou will immediately become an isolated place. In troubled times, this is indeed a good place to make a fortune, but if the world is unified, it will

It has become the most unstable region.

Although Jinling, the capital where Yuan Shu is currently located, is good in all aspects, its geographical location is indeed a bit remote. It is too far away from Yizhou. A decree may not reach it for more than half a month. If you don't come to check it out in person,

Yuan Shu was really afraid that this place would slowly escape his control.

How simple does it seem for Sima to replace Wei? The Sima family took control of the court. Except for the Wei army on the front line of Huainan, there was no turmoil elsewhere. This shows how weak Cao Wei's control over the world is.

It is difficult to conquer the world, but it is even harder to defend it. Cao Cao went through many hardships, issued the order to seek talents, and paid so much to get rid of the shackles of the aristocratic family, even Yanzhou was almost lost. In order to weaken the aristocratic family, he did not hesitate to take the opportunity to kill Yang Xiu and force Xun Yu to death

, in order to weaken the Yang family and the Xun family, which were the most powerful at the time. After so much effort, they were finally defeated at the hands of his son Cao Pi.

As soon as the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System came into being, the world became the domain of aristocratic families again. Among the four major aristocratic families in the late Han Dynasty, the Sima family, supported by the Chen family, which was the only one that had not been weakened, became the spokesperson of the aristocratic families in the world and began to ignore Cao Wei until it was overthrown.

Yuan Shu visited Yizhou this time. On the one hand, he wanted to completely clear away all the hidden dangers in Yizhou and appease the southern barbarians. On the other hand, he also wanted to meet the heroes of Yizhou.

Even though Liu Zhang's appearance in Three Kingdoms was just a show-off, Yizhou's civil and military talents were really quite a lot. It was a pity that he followed a useless lord. No wonder so many people surrendered when Liu Bei came.

Yuan Shu left amid the reluctance of the people in Jingzhou.

Yes, he was reluctant to leave. In order to increase his reputation, Yuan Shu conveniently reduced and exempted half of the agricultural taxes for the people of Jingzhou this year. The reason was simple, he was happy. Anyway, the agricultural taxes in Jiangdong were not much, so it would not be a big problem to reduce or exempt some.

Tian Feng and Ju Shou were helpless when they fell in love with such a willful lord.

Everything is not about scarcity but inequality. Yuan Shu exempted and exempted Jingzhou's agricultural taxes, so the agricultural taxes of other states must also be reduced. Otherwise, if Yuan Shu only reduced the agricultural taxes of Jingzhou, the people of other states would probably complain.

Carrying a car full of Jingzhou specialties, Yuan Shu's convoy set off again in great force.

...

"Zijing, the road from Jingzhou to Yizhou is too difficult! How long will it take to repair it?" Yuan Shu asked lazily while lying on the bed, enjoying Diao Chan's massage.

This journey made Yuan Shu exhausted. The road from Jingzhou to Yizhou was indeed difficult. Even Yuan Shu's high-end carriage was bumpy and bumpy, and Yuan Shu's bones were almost broken.

Lu Su listened to Yuan Shu's complaint and replied respectfully: "My lord, everyone knows that the road to Shu is difficult. If you want to open up a road that meets your lord's requirements, it will definitely not be possible within three to five years. And this is still happening.

As long as there are enough people.”

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about manpower. This road is my biggest project in Jiangdong in recent years. I will try my best to give you priority as soon as I have manpower."

"It took Qin Shihuang two and a half years to build a 700-mile straight road. This Shu road is about 2,000 miles long. The manpower I gave you is no less than that of Qin Shihuang back then. In addition, there are 20,000 soldiers led by Tai Shici to help you dig the mountain.

Split rocks, use cement and other magical tools. My requirements for you are not high, just repair it within five years."

"But before that, you should spend more than half a year to expand the road I came from. It doesn't matter how good it is, at least it can pass two carriages safely, so that the business between the two states can go smoothly.

Let’s talk about it after it’s circulated.”

With a stroke of his pen, Yuan Shu determined the status of Taishi Ci and the 20,000 barbarians under him as coolies for the next five years.

Lu Su first silently mourned for Tai Shi Ci in his heart, and then whispered: "Nuo."

There was no way, in such a dangerous terrain, Taishi Ci's legionary talent and the barbarians under his command were the most suitable for this.

Lu Su felt funny in his heart when he thought that Tai Shici had just gotten so lucky a few days ago that he gave his army the name "Wudang Feijun".
