"Han Sheng, how is your body feeling? Have you completely recovered?"
Huang Zhong, who was in a state of cultivation, also came over and was naturally warmly received by Liu Qi.
After trying his best, he used a "one-sword to cut off the flow" to win at least two years of peace for Jiang Xia. How could such a great achievement be ignored?
What's more, through Huang Zhong, Liu Qi deliberately understood the methods of generals in this world.
Liu Pan next to him looked envious, but there was nothing to say.
Who says that he is not strong enough? Even if Liu Qi has the means to temporarily improve his cultivation and with the help of military energy, he can at most exert his first-class peak strength.
Compared to Huang Zhong's life-long "one-sword cut off the flow", the deterrent effect is naturally poorer.
"Brother Han Sheng, since your health has not yet recovered completely, don't run around!"
Huang Zhong is definitely the decisive needle of Jiang Xiajun. Although he was so sad in his heart, Liu Pan still couldn't help but persuade him.
"It's okay, I feel that my body has recovered almost!"
Huang Zhong laughed and looked at Liu Qi and said loudly: "Lord, I heard that Cao Jun is not very honest. I can still move this old bone!"
"No need!"
After waved his hand, Liu Qi said with a funny look: "Isn't Uncle Liu still standing in front of you? Jiang Xia can develop with peace of mind!"
At the same time, he also revealed that Zhou Yu was recuperating in Jiangxia.
Sure enough, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong were both shocked...
Zhou Yu, the Grand Governor of the Eastern Wu, directed the Battle of Chibi, which directly led to the possible cause of unification of Cao's army and was blocked by a superb existence.
"I don't want the lord to have such a way!"
Huang Zhong sighed: "With this favor, Jiangdong will not deliberately target us Jiangxia for at least three to five years!"
He spoke one lord at a time, and it was obvious that the veteran had already identified Liu Qi.
Liu Pan was not that keen and chuckled: "Young Master is a good method. As long as Zhou Yu doesn't die, Jiangdong will not have a peaceful life!"
"That's what it means!"
Liu Qi chuckled and said, "No matter whether the Jiangdong family or the Jingzhou family is, in one's opinion, they are all birds of a feather, and they will be cleaned up in the future!"
Liu Pan and Huang Zhong nodded in agreement, but their faces were very serious.
Obviously, whether it is the Jiangdong family or the Jingzhou family, the pressure puts them is quite heavy.
Liu Qi ignored these and said with a leisurely affair: "Zhou Yu was attacked and was infected with a strange poison. It happened that a certain book had read many royal secrets, with targeted response methods, which could save Zhou Yu's life!"
This explanation made Huang Zhong and Liu Pan very convinced, otherwise Liu Qi would suddenly become unparalleled in medical treatment and poison, and even a fool would suspect that his core had changed.
"Zijian, how has the county, village and armed defense system been built?"
After talking about the major events that have happened recently and the prefect's house's measures, Liu Qi asked in a flash: "This matter is related to future development plans, so don't call me lightly!"
Speaking of this, Liu Pan showed a disgrace on his face and said with a wry smile: "Grand Prince, this time I rushed back to the prefect's mansion. In addition to visiting the eldest prince, I also have the idea of asking for help!"
"Oh, are you in trouble?"
Liu Qi knew it, and didn't feel strange at all.
Since the First Emperor unified the world and established the county system, there has been a situation where the imperial power has not fallen to the county.
By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the situation of aristocratic families controlling the places was quite serious. It can be said that all the places below the county became the private areas of aristocratic families.
It is not that simple to establish a defense system at the county, county, township and village level in this situation.
Not to mention financial expenses, whether local wealthy families are willing to cooperate is a very headache.
Liu Qi's transformation of Jiangxia must start the defense system of the four-level system of counties, towns and villages in order to more effectively control the local area. It is also the basic foundation for him to popularize education and other things.
As mentioned earlier, with the financial strength of Jiangxia County at this time, it is not a problem to establish county schools and county schools, or even township schools.
But the key is that after these public schools are established, they will easily become aristocratic families and local tyrants cultivate their own children, and there will be no chance for poor children to go to school.
Even so, Liu Qi still needs to run a school, but the intensity will not be too high, and at most it will be done at the county level.
The four-level system of counties, counties, townships and villages can be forced to popularize education and necessary knowledge because it is firmly controlled by Liu Qi and his confidants.
This fourth-level military system will definitely not allow any mistakes. Even if it gets involved in some local powerful men, it must have real skills.
It can be imagined that the fourth-level military system is Liu Qi's talent training base. In the future, whether it is the talents needed in Jiangxia County or the talents urgently needed after expansion, they can be drawn from the fourth-level military system.
The key is that the talents cultivated in this way are at least much better than those of foreign talents in terms of loyalty.
By the way, after Liu Qi became the governor of Jingzhou, there were many children of aristocratic families, local tyrants, and poor families who defected.
But there are no first-class talents, and only one or two of the second-class talents can be talked about, and the rest are very average.
The point is that none of them are trustworthy.
The talents trained by these aristocratic families, local tyrants and even poor families, were first loyal to the family behind them, and then Liu Qi, the governor of Jingzhou.
There is no way, before the trustworthy talents I have cultivated grow up, I can only pinch my nose and let these "cultural" guys take over all aspects of Jiangxia's affairs.
What Liu Qi can do is to strengthen supervision and system construction, and resolutely not give these guys the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes.
As long as the army is in hand, he really doesn't care much about the methods of these guys. As long as he does things honestly and obediently, their benefits will naturally be indispensable in the future.
If he had any bad thoughts and ideas and wanted to include Jiang Xia in the sphere of influence of the family behind them, Liu Qi would not mind shattering the family behind them.
It is actually not as difficult as I imagined to destroy a family.
As long as the direct descendants in the family are in power find a way to kill them, the so-called family will naturally fall apart.
Unless there is a child of a branch with outstanding abilities, ruthlessness and extraordinary means, the family will definitely be divided into several families that are unhappy with each other.
If a family of a certain family, after such a struggle, they will immediately turn from having a great influence in a state to become a county-level local tyrant.
As for local tyrants who have gone through such troubles, they will immediately become rural tyrants, and their influence or threat will be greatly reduced.
At present, it is naturally not time to use such intense means.
"Yes, it's easy to say in the county town!"
Liu Pan smiled bitterly and said, "But when you arrive at the rural level, it is not that easy to mobilize young and strong people to join the guard!"
"Are the preferential conditions given by the prefecture's office not enough?"
Liu Qi frowned and asked back, "Is there a mistake in the middle?"
"Yes, local tyrants are not very happy to cooperate!"
“Why?”
"The ones we have drawn are all young and strong laborers!"
"Bad, I really think I don't know that just their little field will never have many young and strong laborers!"
"Yes, the key is that the guards are not in their hands, so..."
"Haha, I think beautifully!"
Liu Panwei said: "But there is no support from the powerful people in the area, it is quite difficult to recruit enough rural guards!"
"Didn't you go to the countryside in person and explain it clearly to the local elder?"
"Young Master, there is no need to be such trouble, right?"
Liu Qi was speechless. Could it be that Liu Pan's actions were not very smooth?
"Brother Zijian, it's better to explain it clearly to the three elders in the countryside!"
Shaking his head, he chuckled, "Who knows whether the local tyrants concealed some important information when they helped to pass the message, such as the food subsidy for young and strong people participating in the rural guards, as well as the opportunity to recognize words and practice martial arts?"
"Impossible?"
hehe……
Liu Qi smiled but said nothing. He didn't experience some things himself, so he didn't know how powerful the local tyrants were.
The conditions given by the prefect's office are quite good. As long as you are selected as a rural guard, you will receive a subsidy at noon every day, which is very attractive to the young people in the farm.
More importantly, all young and strong people who have joined the rural guards have the opportunity to learn to recognize words and practice martial arts in the military.
Any young and strong performer who performs well can go further.
For example, from a village-level escort to a town-level escort, or from a town-level escort to a county soldier, or even the highest level of county soldiers.
Really performed well, and even had the opportunity to become an officer!
For the children of the farmer family, it is definitely a great way to jump into the dragon gate.
Liu Qi believes that as long as Liu Pan and the prestigious three elders in the countryside make it clear, it is not difficult to recruit a group of fixed rural-level "militia".
Obviously, Liu Pan had a bad job before and made an empiricist mistake.
Liu Qi had no intention of blame. After all, Liu Pan himself was born into a local tyrant, and his style and habits were biased towards local tyrants.
These are all instinctive habits, and they are not something that can be completely avoided by deliberately trying to avoid them.
Liu Pan was a little embarrassed, but he still responded and decided to go to Jiangxia's countryside in person. If he could really pull up the rural militia team, it would be of great help to Jiangxia's military system.
"When talking to the three old people in the countryside, you must make it clear and put the benefits given by the prefect and the house in the open!"
Liu Qi smiled and said, "I believe that by then, there will definitely be a rich result!"
Although he had no hope in his heart, Liu Pan still looked very determined and took the initiative to say goodbye and leave after finding an opportunity.
When only Liu Qi and Huang Zhong were left in the back hall, Liu Qi was not polite at all and took his pulse to check Huang Zhong's physical condition...
