According to Liu Qi's instructions, in addition to daily training, the soldiers of Jiangxia County also maintained the order of Xiling City where the prefect was located. Some of them were divided into groups led by Huang Zhong and Liu Pan, and inspected the entire Jiangxia area to shock the young people.
The effect is still quite obvious...
With the transfer of tens of thousands of county and township soldiers, Jiangxia counties with empty troops appeared, and some public security chaos naturally occurred.
The new county and township soldiers system has not been established for a long time, causing some villains to go out to make trouble.
Liu Qi had no intention of being angry, this is human nature!
I gave tens of thousands of county and township soldiers to Liu Da'er in one go, but it was a result of going but not returning.
This has a great blow to the local tyrants in Jiangxia and has lost most of their strength.
As Liu Pan and Huang Zhong led their troops and increased their patrol efforts, the chaos that had just appeared in various places in Jiangxia County was quickly extinguished.
Liu Qi found some things for Jiangxia's local tyrants, such as the government organizing the construction of roads and bridges, making small things like soap and sugar to stimulate economic and trade, and setting up public and private schools.
It is either beneficial to the development of counties and townships, or to the family, or to some individuals. In short, there are many troubles in Jiangxia and the local areas.
In addition, the number of people on the local tyrants suddenly decreased, their control over the local area became loose, and all kinds of strange things appeared one after another, attracting most of their attention and not having the heart to go against the prefect's mansion.
Liu Pan and Huang Zhong led the county soldiers to inspect the place and showed their strong force. The Jiangxia area was very quiet, and there were really signs of a clear and peaceful sea.
Jingzhou has not had a great war for many years and has accumulated quite rich background.
Liu Qi is not a stingy person, and he will not regard the wealth and resources possessed by the prefect's office as a trump card.
Whether it is road construction and bridge laying or other projects led by the government, they are all employed for wages and do not engage in free labor.
This item alone will attract the hearts of the people!
In other words, the time is too short, and the prefect's office does not have enough control over the local area. Otherwise, the living standards of the people in Jiangxia will definitely reach a level called the Great Han Empire looking up to it.
After several worlds of experience, Liu Qi's level of governance of civil affairs can completely respect the entire Eastern Han Empire!
What Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, and what both of you have to stand aside.
That is, the time is wrong, and Jiang Xia is facing the threat of Cao's army. Otherwise, he could give Jiang Xia's overall livelihood level a step further than he could move his fingers.
So when Liu Bei came to Xiling County where the prefect of Jiangxia was located, he saw a prosperous and orderly appearance.
It seems that Jiangxia County was not threatened by Cao's army!
The farmer in the field was busy with busy roads, and the patrol soldiers were constantly on the streets.
There is no panic in other parts of Jingzhou, nor is there a safe and comfortable feeling in the countryside.
This made him feel mixed feelings...
Isn’t the current scene in Jiangxia territory what he has always pursued?
Regardless of whether Liu Bei is false benevolence or righteousness, it is an indisputable fact that what he does is quite favorable to the people.
However, due to the problems of origin and ability, the relationship between the local tyrants has been difficult to handle.
Whether it was Pingyuan County or Xuzhou, he favored the people and won the hearts of the local people. Unfortunately, his relationship with local families was not harmonious, and in the end he failed to gain a foothold.
What is reflected in the outside world is that the people under his rule were quite angry, but that's just such a special point.
Liu Bei had no talent for governing politics, and most of the trusted scholars around him were prominent in communication skills. There were few powerful people in governing politics.
It was not until Zhuge Liang joined that this shortcoming was blocked.
I don’t expect that Liu Qi, a person with mediocre ability, can manage Jiangxia in an orderly manner.
It would be even more rare to think that Liu Qi became the prefect of Jiangxia for only a few months, which really made him feel ashamed.
After receiving the news, Liu Qi and several subordinates stood at the main gate of the prefect's mansion and waited.
When he saw Liu Bei and his party, he immediately went forward to pay homage. After all, he was an elder.
Liu Bei's attitude was naturally very kind. He grabbed Liu Qi's hand, his face was full of smiles and was very close, and his relationship was related to the two.
It's really funny in my heart...
After hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty, there were so many members of the Liu family.
Liu Qi and Liu Bei are really relatives outside the box.
Of course, Liu Bei was the emperor's confirmed uncle by Emperor Han, and Liu Qi had no intention of denying it.
"My dear nephew is so capable. He has managed Jiangxia County in an orderly manner and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I am very pleased with my uncle!"
After he fell into the prefect's residence, Liu Bei sighed, "Since he entered the Jiangxia territory, the scenes my uncle saw were quite good!"
These words are sincere, so they are said very sincerely.
"Haha, Uncle Xuande is too humble!"
After waved his hand, Liu Qi said distractedly: "It's just trying to restrain local tyrants and use force to deter young people. It's not a powerful method!"
"The nephew's methods are already very impressive!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bei was really surprised and said curiously: "Are you not worried about causing a rebound?"
He suffered enough of the local tyrants and the repeated sufferings of local tyrants. He lost Xuzhou because of the local tyrants.
"It's just a trick of fighting and pulling!"
With a chuckle, Liu Qi said calmly: "As long as Jiang Xia does not have a unique powerful force, you don't have to worry too much about their threat!"
"I don't think my nephew has such a way!"
Liu Bei still felt incredible. Are local tyrants so easy to knead?
He glanced at this guy lightly, but Liu Qi smiled without saying a word...
Liu Bei really had to do these methods of differentiation and win over. Looking at the entire Eastern Han Empire, I am afraid that few people can compare to it.
The key is whether Liu Bei is willing to give up his posture like he does to the people.
Another point is whether it can restrain Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two sworn brothers, or whether there is any problem in their implementation when dealing with local tyrants.
At present, Liu Bei has an existence like Zhuge Liang under his command, so it is quite easy to deal with local tyrants.
But there is no solid territory. When you take over the territory and manage it seriously in the future, you will basically not have any more things like Xuzhou.
"My nephew, my uncle came here this time to ask me what my nephew thinks about Jiangdong, the alliance?"
After joking for a while, Liu Bei went straight to the point and asked in a deep voice: "The situation is very tense at the moment, and we must find a way to relieve the direct threat from Cao's army!"
"My uncle is the only way to decide this matter, just follow Jiang Xia!"
Liu Qi smiled and said, "I'm not sure if I face Cao Mengde!"
“So great!”
Liu Bei was happy and nodded, "I wonder how many military troops can be taken out on Jiangxia, and how many elite troops are there?"
I felt very happy in my heart, and the nephew Liu Qi was still very proud of his face.
"The total strength of Jiangxia County is about 80,000!"
Liu Qi didn't hide anything and said directly: "There are 50,000 elite soldiers!"
"Why are there so few auxiliary soldiers?"
Liu Bei was surprised and said curiously: "Is it because of the Jiangxia territory, and there are other powerful people in the area that do not accept their virtuous nephews?"
"Is this here!"
Liu Qi smiled and said, "The main reason is that the auxiliary soldiers are not good at combat power, so my nephew doesn't plan to do more!"
Liu Bei nodded without saying a word, and after a while, he said leisurely: "It's good to do that!"
The tone of the conversation turned around and said, "However, Jiang Xia's 50,000 elite troops must be prepared to go out to fight at any time!"
"Of course!"
Liu Qi did not refuse and said with a smile: "But it's not enough to be the main force, just beating the side drum as the side!"
“This is natural!”
Liu Bei agreed without hesitation that Liu Qi's conditions were originally what he wanted.
There are only 50,000 elite soldiers on Jiangxia. If they fight Cao's army in one go, Liu Qi will not be able to sit firmly on the position of Jiangxia's prefect in the future.
If such a situation really happens, it will not be a good thing for Liu Bei.
Liu Qi's existence can be said to be the legal basis for Liu Bei's future occupation of Jingzhou.
Even if you argue with Jiangdong in the future, it is also a powerful reason.
Liu Bei did not want Liu Qi to cooperate so much, so he easily achieved the purpose of this trip.
He was in a good mood for a while. If the situation was not tense at the moment, he would have to take a good look at Jiangxia.
However, he was a hero of a generation after all, and he easily restrained his distracting thoughts. After discussing the matter of advancing and retreating with Liu Qi, he hurriedly said goodbye without even having time to eat.
Liu Qi disagreed and asked Huang Zhong to lead 5,000 elite county soldiers to escort it, which made Liu Bei feel completely at ease: Jiangxia is still a talented person!
Sure enough, Liu Bei and the escort commander Chen Dao were shocked by Huang Zhong who was escorted. Unexpectedly, there were peerless generals in the Jiangxia army.
He was surprised and happy in his heart. Liu Bei's favorite was actually the general.
Although he visited Zhuge Liang three times to invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain to assist him, he had to do it if he suffered too much.
To be honest, his ability to win over military generals is much better than absorbing civil officials.
On the way back to Fankou, he naturally deliberately attracted great enthusiasm. He not only was he very jealous of Huang Zhong, a peerless general, but also attached great importance to the elite Jiangxia under his command.
After all, the matter with Jiangdong Alliance is irreversible, but he definitely does not want to become a vassal of the alliance.
If you want to do this, the stronger your strength, the better.
At this time, he had already regarded Liu Qi as his trump card.
If the Sun-Liu alliance had already defeated Cao's army at this time, and Liu Bei's reputation as the victorious party quickly rose, Huang Zhong might have looked up to him.
After all, he is a prince who can defeat the world's Prime Minister Cao, and his attraction is still quite powerful.
Unfortunately, Liu Bei was a standard settlement at this time!
If it weren't for the strong support of Jiangxia Prefect Liu Qi, he would probably not even have a foothold.
In this case, if Huang Zhong, who is already the second-in-commander of the Jiangxia Army, is a dream and something that will never happen.
He sent Liu Bei and his party safely out of Jiangxia territory. After returning, Huang Zhong still used this matter as a joke in front of Liu Qi, and of course he also meant to show loyalty...
