The rise of Internet addict Liu Chan

Lu Dai doesn't seem to have any extraordinary talents, but he has won the hearts of the army and is loyal to Sun Quan. He may not be able to give up Jiaozhou at will.

But this is not important.

Even this is not Liu Bei's priority right now.

After pacifying Jiangling, Liu Bei gave priority to inspecting the people's livelihood in Jiangling. He heard that Liu Chan had begun to promote sweet potatoes on a large scale in Xiangyang and Wuling. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang planned to see this magical crop for themselves, and at the same time, they also stopped by Longzhong to have a look. .

I am troublesome to guard the farm for me, and I will return to Longzhong to farm when I calm down the world.

This is what Zhuge Liang left for the villagers when he accepted Liu Bei's invitation to leave Longzhong.

Zhuge Liang was very high-spirited back then. Although he knew that the world was difficult and vaguely felt that he was walking a path against the sky, he was still willing to try his best.

Presumably, the road to rejuvenating the Han Dynasty must be full of ups and downs. When everything is completed, it will be a blessing for me to be able to return to Longzhong'an to spend my old age.

After leaving for many years, Zhuge Liang also wanted to visit Longzhong, so Liu Bei took Guan Zhang, Huang Zhong, Sun Shangxiang and others to go north together, both public and private, and all the government and military affairs of Jiangling City were left to Liu Chan and Liu Chan's current assistant Fa just.

Liu Chan's current status is the prince, supervising the military forces in Yongzhou and Jiaozhou. Jingzhou mainly did not assign it to Liu Chan for the sake of Guan Yu's face, otherwise Liu Bei would have simply let Liu Chan supervise the military here.

This made Liu Chan dumbfounded.

"The emperor has great trust in the prince, which is a good thing."

Recently, Fazheng, who has been a bit rich, has no interest in Zhuge Liang's Longzhong. He also saw sweet potatoes (seedlings) when he was in Jingzhou, and he simply stayed in Jiangling to help Liu Chan handle government affairs.

Liu Chan said helplessly:

"Why do I feel that the imperial father's skill is delegating power..."

"Uh?"

"Hehe, it's nothing—it just so happens that I want to ask Mr. Faling about something."

"Prince, but it doesn't matter."

"In your opinion, who is suitable to be the governor of Jingzhou?"

Chapter 389 Balancing Jingzhou

In addition to the time before the Xiangshui Alliance, Sun Quan had already attacked Jingzhou three times.

Although this is entirely caused by Sun Quan's despicableness, Liu Bei also has to consider the issue of Jingzhou's defense——

But relying on Guan Yu himself, every time he went to the Northern Expedition, Jingzhou was the emptiest, so he had to match him with a team that was also difficult to deal with characters.

In particular, Jiangling is now a very important economic base, and it is very abnormal to repeatedly put this place in danger.

Liu Bei came here in person this time because of this consideration——

After Liu Bei arrived, Mi Fang immediately resigned from his position as the prefect of Nanjun, and Liu Bei arranged a new task for him——

Jingzhou Biejia is also the president of the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

No matter what age, the profit of doing business is not comparable to that of farming.

Now Jingzhou's business is getting more and more prosperous, and many farmers have begun to leave their fields and go into business. This is what Liu Bei does not want to see.

After all, the Han Dynasty has not yet been unified, and what is most needed for combat is still a steady stream of food supplements. Originally, Jingzhou has a large amount of land that has not been developed.

But the prosperous business has indeed brought huge military support to Ji Han. If the above sentence requires controlling the scale of business, it may become a complete blockage of business routes when it is implemented below.

After all, it is a traditional virtue to obey the law and violate the law.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang discussed for a long time, and then discussed with Mi Zhu, the general of the auxiliary Han Dynasty. The three unanimously decided to let Mi Fang follow the example of Fan Li and turn around and continue to shine for the great man in business.

The Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce is a new organization suggested by Zhuge Liang.

On the surface, this is just a private chamber of commerce, but it is not the same if it is presided over by a royal family like Mi Fang.

Zhuge Liang asked Mi Fang to concentrate on business operations, collect taxes widely, strengthen competitiveness, and prevent some blind and disorderly vicious competition.

Of course Mi Fang is reluctant, business affairs are regarded as the end of the road, as it has been since ancient times.

Zhuge Liang also considered this early on, and it was easier to talk to him after giving him an official status in Jingzhou.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang promised that if Mi Fang does well, can bring a lot of taxes to Dahan, and prevent the military from doing business, he will let Mi Fang be the president of Dahan's National Chamber of Commerce. Mi Fang must be aware of the impact of business activities.

Being fooled by Zhuge Liang, Mi Fang of course praised her again and again, and willingly resigned as the prefect of Nanjun. At present, the prefect of Nanjun is temporarily represented by Ma Liang. With Ma Liang's ability, no one else should worry about it.

Next...

It is the arrangement that Jingzhou Zhizhong engaged in.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang discussed for a long time, and they unanimously decided to hand over this task to Liu Chan.

Zhizhong was in this official position, whether it was big or small, and as one of Jingzhou Mu's deputy, he also shouldered huge responsibilities.

The relationship between Pan Jun and Guan Yu, who was engaged in governance in the previous administration, was very bad. He squatted directly in Wuling and didn't ask questions, which made the scene very discordant.

This time Liu Chan thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't make up his mind, so he had to ask Fazheng for his opinion first.

"Who does the prince want?" Fazheng asked.

"Shibao." Liu Chan said decisively.

In this battle, Shi Bao designed to lure the Wu army into the bait, and set up an ambush early on, so that Sun Quan was almost beaten with hatred.

If Bu Zhi hadn't been cautious, I'm afraid that Zhu Ran would be captured alive this time, and all the elite soldiers in Soochow would be wiped out.

And in history, Shi Bao was a ruthless figure who was the founding chief minister of the Western Jin Dynasty, and he would certainly not be able to trouble him if he was engaged in governance.

But now there is a very serious problem -

In order to keep a secret, Shi Bao deliberately did not disclose the news of Soochow's surprise attack.

Especially Ma Liang, who didn't tell Jingzhou's family background, made Ma Liang very annoyed.

Well you stone bud,

You are a poor family man who was born as a driver and seller of iron. You came to Jiangling after driving for my younger brother, and you got your current position only after being supported by me, Ma Liang.

I brought you up to do things for our Ma family. Now that you have climbed up to Da Sima, your wings are hardened, and you have something to hide from me.

I think you don't take me, Ma Liang, seriously.

Ma Liang has already said that Shi Bao is a traitor of their Ma family, and that he has failed his recommendation.

This is very serious in the era of dual monarchy.

Because the Ma family stood closely with Liu Bei, they are now the leaders of the Jingzhou family. As long as he has a word, it will be very difficult for Shi Bao to get along in Jingzhou.

The situation Shi Bao is facing cannot be understood naturally.

This Shang Shuling, who has always been known for his bad character, stroked his white hair at the temples very coquettishly, and said with a smile:

"Isn't this a great opportunity?

I actually think that Jingzhou Mu is also worthy of Shi Bao's experience. This person is a talent. "

The reason why the three-mutual method was popular in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was entirely caused by the local tyrants who were connected with each other and made trouble with each other.

Even if the aristocratic clans in Longyou fight with each other, they wish each other would die, but when they really meet outsiders, they will go all out in one direction.

Not to mention Ma Liang, a top wealthy family in Jingzhou.

Although the aristocratic families in Jingzhou are loyal to Liu Bei, except for a few people such as the Ma Liang brothers, the reason most of them support Liu Bei is not the lofty ideal of rejuvenating the great man, but because Liu Bei can bring them huge benefits. Challenge the more powerful Central Plains clan.

Now that Jingzhou is becoming more and more prosperous, Ma Liang has been unable to deal with many problems in a smooth manner.

Before, Yu Fan had an angry quarrel with him and ran away all night because Ma Liang was too protective of those aristocratic families in Jingzhou who were as close as he was.

These people now have money and have the right to interpret knowledge through engraving and printing, which has caused many people to become extravagant and domineering. After a long time, they don't care about the court's laws.

So what if you break the law?

There are people above us!

Fazheng has already heard that Liu Chan's exams in Longyou gave many children from poor families the chance to become officials.

But if it is implemented in Jingzhou, even if those poor officials are selected, they will be hugged and squeezed by these aristocratic families.

The wealthy families in Longyou and Nanzhong are disobedient, Liu Chan can definitely raise a butcher's knife to deal with them, but Jingzhou can't.

How many people have supported Liu Bei since more than ten years ago and helped Liu Bei through the most difficult time. Zhuge Liang's wife was born in a wealthy family in Jingzhou.

Since Liu Bei and his son can't end...

Shi Bao is a good candidate.

He was not on good terms with Ma Liang, so the methods against the Jingzhou family could be largely limited to the scope of personal enmity between the two parties. Shi Bao would definitely be willing to make this sword and become the leader of the poor family.

This is a great help to all, so why not.

Fazheng's plan made it difficult for Liu Chan to breathe.

Dealing with state affairs, especially political affairs, is really not what he is good at.

If everyone could work together and serve the country wholeheartedly, how beautiful this world would be.

Pity……

That is what is required of a saint.

As expected of Shang Shuling, there is such a plan.

Liu Chan expressed his admiration for Fazheng, and then he thought that Fazheng had escaped and entered Yizhou, and he must have had a deep understanding in the process of opposing those Yizhou local aristocratic families.

even……

Seeing Fazheng's eyes flicker, Liu Chan suddenly thought of something.

"The prime minister thinks so too?"

"The prime minister said that the prince is very sensitive, and it is true."

Liu Chan fell silent again.

"Mr. Law, I want to ask for one more thing."

"Prince, but it doesn't matter."

"I want to worship Falingjun as my teacher and learn something."

clam?

Fazheng, who was always calm, was also at a loss at this moment, and hurriedly said:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible,

The prince's teacher needs to invite great Confucian scholars, who are right in line with the scriptures and righteousness. I really don't have any opinions. Mr. Zhongxiang is far away from me..."

"Why do you want to give in, Mr. Zhong Xiang is proficient in the scriptures, but the means of governing the country are still not as good as the law.

Zen implores the king of the law to teach me. "

Since ancient times, when emperors choose teachers for princes, they must choose people with good personalities and excellent knowledge to teach.

Although Fazheng is brave and courageous, and is willing to sacrifice his life for Liu Bei, he is really bad in private, and he doesn't mind using all kinds of dirty methods at all, and he "has a good meal, a grievance, all retaliation, killing and damaging One who counts others", there is no shadow of his grandfather, the famous scholar Fazhen.

Everyone even wondered if Fazheng was called "Mr. Xuande" and that's why Fazheng treated Liu Bei so well.

Moreover, Fazheng encountered Dong Zhuo's rebellion at the age when he most needed to start studying, and later met Li Jue and Guo Si (Fazheng is from Mei County, which is the place where Dong Zhuoxiu's mansion was located). It would be pretty good if the cool people were tied up as slaves or trampled to death by war horses.

Study the classics?

Can Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si be beaten away by classics?

What Fazheng has learned all his life is the method to let himself try his best to survive. These methods are learned by himself from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and he comprehended when he and Meng Da supported each other on the way to escape.

learn this stuff...

I don't know what to teach the prince to look like.

Seeing Fazheng's refusal, Liu Chan became more determined——

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang must have considered clearly and secretly agreed to let Shi Bao do this kind of thing in the government.

It's just that Fazheng thinks that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's public announcement of this matter is tantamount to slapping Ma Liang in the face.

It would be better for him to recommend Liu Chan.

Anyway, his reputation for Fa-rectification was not very good, and he had no friendship with Ma Liang, so Ma Liang didn't recruit him either.

This favor of promoting Shi Bao to Liu Chan will also allow Shi Bao, a humble son who was acquired by Ma Di, to accept Liu Chan's kindness, and will work harder for Liu Chan in the future.

This is a conspiracy.
