Great Military Division

Chapter 471 Liu Ba Arrives!The water in Yizhou is about to become turbid!
"Damn, isn't this a bit too ruthless? No one should be able to do it, right? Even with our own people, I'm afraid it's impossible to do it. We won't shoot ourselves in the foot, will we?"

After Liu Bian produced the latest agricultural production responsibility letters for Jingzhou and Yangzhou according to the requirements of the Military Division Alliance, he was completely dumbfounded. Even the officials in Nanyang have never had such a record.

If you use this thing to ask the officials of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, I am afraid that no one can meet the requirements. Even if you replace them with your own people, there is no guarantee that they will not overturn. This will only leave people with tongues, which is not good.

"rest assured."

However, the military division alliance is very confident: "According to the information from the investigation, most of the arable land in Jingzhou and Yangzhou is controlled by the aristocratic family. It is indeed relatively difficult to obtain a certain amount of public land."

"However, the number of terraced fields in Jingzhou and Yangzhou is still relatively small. If it is our officials, we can start from this point and increase the number of public lands to meet the requirements of the agricultural production responsibility letter."

"Moreover, the current farming tools have been completely iteratively completed. It is not too difficult to expand terraced fields on a large scale in Yangzhou and Jingzhou."

"Terraces?"

Liu Bian frowned.

Although he grew up in the north, he knows terraced fields very well.

This is a field built on the slopes of hills and hills, which has remarkable functions of water storage, soil conservation and production increase.

Terraced fields have good ventilation and light transmission conditions, which are conducive to crop growth and the accumulation of nutrients. According to the slope of the field, there are horizontal terraces, slope terraces, and compound terraces.

my country's terraced fields are mainly distributed in the mountainous areas in the south of the Yangtze River, most of which are in Guangxi and Yunnan. This is because these places have more rain and are mountainous, and the terraced fields are built on the mountains.

"Can this work?"

Liu Bian kept beating drums in his heart, and asked tentatively.

"of course can."

The Alliance of Military Advisors said with great certainty: "Actually, in our country, most of the ecological breeding of fish in rice fields is in terraced fields. Your place is equivalent to a test base, which proves that it is completely feasible in the plains."

"At present, the country has begun to follow this model to find ways to develop rice field fish farming in the plains. The technology of our experts on terraced fields is much better than that in the plains."

"and!"

The Alliance of Military Advisors emphasized: "In the previous book for Zaozhi, the technology of terraced ecological breeding was also involved, so that when we entered Jingzhou and Yangzhou, we would not fall behind in terms of technology."

"Now we not only have the ecological breeding technology of terraced fields, but also have a strong military force to ensure the implementation. As long as the officials who fail to meet the KPI are all dismissed, if they dare to resist, the military force will directly follow up."

"As long as we can reclaim a certain amount of public land, it will immediately have a strong blood-sucking effect on the fields of Jingzhou and Yangzhou gentry. Coupled with the hungry supply of chemical fertilizers, within two years, N Nanyang will definitely be created."

"Of course!"

Speaking of this, the Military Division Alliance added: "In order to reduce the resistance of the gentry in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, the land equity trading center must follow up in time, and at the same time, increase the intensity of publicity."

Nanyang's successful experience is a benchmark for the land reform in the whole country. Since it can have an effect on the aristocratic family in Nanyang, it will also have an effect on other aristocratic families.

It's a win-win situation!
Not only the wealth of the aristocratic family has been preserved, but also the liquidity of the land has been increased, and every ordinary person at the bottom can have land to cultivate, and the basic strategy of Liu Bian's big granary has been preserved.

"It's sure to be fine."

For Liu Bian, it is easy to promote the magic horse.

He took this plan, thought for a long time, and finally nodded affirmatively: "At present, this is the only way to go. No matter what, the plowing field must be in your hands and cannot be controlled by the aristocratic family."

"Where is Zhu Tong?" Liu Bian called out.

"Yes." Zhu Tong took a step forward, bowed his body and cupped his hands.

"Call Xun Yu and Guo Jia quickly."

"Here."

Immediately.

Zhu Tong bowed and left.

After a while, the two rushed to Wende Hall together, and stepped forward: "Chen Xunyu (Guo Jia), see Your Majesty."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal the two to sit aside: "Get up."

The two got up and took their seats: "Here."

Liu Bian didn't talk nonsense, he said directly: "Do you know what is the so-called calling you two here this time?"

Xun Yu bowed his head, and said softly: "Now the affairs of Qingzhou and Yizhou have been properly arranged, and the encirclement circle of Jizhou has been formed. The decisive battle can only be held in the spring. Presumably, it should be about the affairs of Jingzhou and Yangzhou."

Liu Bian smiled lightly, and it was so pleasant to communicate with smart people: "That's right, it's about Jingzhou and Yangzhou. I have said more than once that Jingyang will be the imperial court's granary, and there must be no problems."

"Originally, I wanted to capture it myself, but now, the development of the imperial court is very rapid, and the Jingzhou gentry may not dare to confront the imperial court."

"Therefore, we can only take another way to publicize private land in Jingyang and Yangzhou, and we must speed up, otherwise it will definitely affect my next strategy."

"If you want to rule Jingyang, you must first choose a general."

Liu Bian's thinking was very clear, and he asked directly: "I wonder if Wen Ruo can be recommended by someone suitable?"

Xun Yu pinched a strand of beard under his chin, and pondered for a moment: "Zhang Zhao of Pengcheng has made outstanding achievements in his career and has exceeded his quota. He can be appointed."

Liu Bian naturally knew Zhang Zhao, the chief steward of Jiangdong, and nodded: "Well, Zhang Zhao's political achievements are indeed outstanding, what else? Let me recommend another person."

"this."

Xun Yu frowned, and after thinking for a long time, his eyes brightened, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, Chen Liuping is from Maojie, and he is probably qualified for this job. Although his political achievements are not as outstanding as Zhang Zhao, he is known for being honest and fair. It is suitable for Jingyang and Yangzhou."

hiss-!
Surprised, Liu Bian gasped.

He glanced down at the list provided by the Military Division Alliance.

really!

Zhang Zhao and Mao Jie are on it.

Now that both sides agreed, Liu Bian could naturally agree: "Well, since that's the case, let Zhang Zhao rush to Yangzhou to take up his post, and Mao Jie to go to Jingzhou to take up his post."

Xun Yu frowned: "Your Majesty, you mean to let Liu Biao and Liu Yao enter the court as officials?"

Liu Bian nodded: "Naturally."

"Very good."

Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "I just don't know what official positions your Majesty is going to make them? Could it be that they are servants?"

Liu Bian did not hesitate: "For the time being, serve as servants first. If there is a suitable place in the future, it will not be too late. If they are unwilling to take up the post, after the spring, they will directly send people to attack. You don't have to be polite."

"Ah, this"

Xun Yu said with a little embarrassment: "I think they dare not make mistakes."

They have already sent Taihu Stone and Longyuan Sword, which proves that they have surrendered and are ready to accept any arrangement, so how can they rebel at will?

This kind of situation, nine out of ten, will not happen, Xun Yu is not worried at all, but it always feels inappropriate to have these two people as servants.

One: The abilities of the two are not bad, and the position of servant cannot exert too much talent;
Second: It's so easy to make people feel chilled.

His Majesty the Emperor is really ruthless!
It's all about being cruel to others, and being cruel enough to your own family is the real cruelty.

You know, whether it's Liu Biao, Liu Yao, or Liu Dai, they are all clan members of the Han Dynasty.

His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care about any feelings at all, and is even stricter than ordinary officials. It is definitely not something that ordinary emperors can do, just as he dares to strictly prohibit the harem from interfering in politics, and foreign relatives are not allowed to enter Jiuqing and above official positions.

His Majesty the Emperor is naturally wise and mighty, but he is also very scary.

"How about this."

Liu Bian pondered for a moment, then said softly: "When you go back today, you will order Liu Biao and Liu Yao, and at the same time order Zhang Zhao and Mao Jie to go to their posts in time."

Immediately.

He handed the prepared responsibility letter for farming production to Xun Yu: "This is the responsibility letter for farming production drawn up by me, and it will be implemented in accordance with this responsibility letter in the first year without any mistakes."

"Oh?"

Xun Yu was amazed: "Your Majesty even prepared the letter of responsibility?"

Liu Bian smiled lightly: "Naturally! I never fight unprepared battles."

but
When Xun Yu skimmed through some of the content, he was completely dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, is this letter of responsibility for farming and production of yours inappropriate? I am afraid that even our officials will not be able to achieve such achievements. "

"This"

Xun Yu's throat rolled, and he swallowed: "Since the land reform, Zijing and Zibu have achieved the best political achievements, but even so, they have not reached such a level."

"What's more, there are not many plains in Jingyang and Yangzhou, and there are more mountainous and hilly areas. I am afraid that no one can do such a responsibility letter for farming and production."

however!
Liu Bian was serious and didn't panic at all: "I want what I want, but I can't achieve it!"

Xun Yu was stunned: "Ah, Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Liu Bian said indifferently: "Wen Ruo, after more than two years of land reform, you should know that as long as officials have a correct attitude and dare to act, it is difficult to widen the gap in political performance."

"Yes."

Xun Yu nodded affirmatively: "Most of the political achievements are about the same. There are only a few people who can exceed their political achievements, but this is only a minority."

"But Your Majesty, I'm afraid that very few people may not be able to complete your letter of responsibility for farming and production. I understand what you are thinking, but if this is the case, it may not be successful if we replace it. Instead, they will be ridiculed."

Even Guo Jia, who was at the side, couldn't help being stunned when he saw such a production responsibility letter: "This...is indeed a bit too difficult."

"but."

Guo Jia changed the subject and looked up at His Majesty the Emperor: "Since Your Majesty dares to issue such a production responsibility statement, there must be a corresponding solution, right?"

Liu Bian smiled indifferently: "Those who know me will be filial piety."

Xun Yu was surprised: "Your Majesty actually has a solution?"

"Of course!"

Liu Bian nodded, then turned around and said, "Wen Ruo should be clear that in fact, the terrain of Jingyang and Yangzhou is far less flat than that of mountains and hills, so the cultivated area is not very large. This is its limitation."

"However, Jingyang already has terraced fields, but it has not been promoted yet. Our people can completely promote the method of terraced fields in the mountains and hills on a large scale, and obtain a large amount of public land in the shortest time."

"As long as there is a sufficient amount of public land, it will definitely have a positive impact on the gentry in Jingyang and Yangzhou. Once the blood-sucking effect starts, it will be impossible to stop."

Xun Yu frowned: "Terraces?"

"Yes."

Liu Bian said with absolute certainty: "It's the terraced fields. If Wen Ruo doesn't understand, you can talk to Zijing in private. The book I gave him back then has the corresponding content."

Xun Yu nodded slowly: "Okay, I will find Zijing."

In fact, farming in Jingyang and Yangzhou has been affected to a certain extent.

After all, farming in Nanyang, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou has been going on for a long time, and the favorable conditions there have already attracted countless people from Jingyang to settle down, but most of them are people from the plains.

This originally had a certain impact on the Jingyang gentry. If the terraced fields are extended, the influence on the Jingyang gentry will definitely be even greater.

"Follow filial piety."

Immediately, Liu Bian turned to look at Guo Jia.

"The minister is here."

Guo Jia gave a bow.

Liu Bian paused for a moment, then said softly: "Although the imperial court's will is to publicize the land, it is best not to cause war if it does not cause war. After all, if there is a war, the people will suffer the losses. This is what I don't want." saw."

"If you want to keep the interests of the Jingyang family, you still have to rely on the land equity transaction building. Only by letting them taste the sweetness can you truly promote the process of land publicization."

"at this point."

Liu Bian let out a long sigh, turned his head and glanced at Guo Jia: "It's still up to you to spread the word and do everything possible to make Nanyang's land management model go deep into the center of the Jingyang gentry, as long as the vast majority of people can accept it. .”

"As for those diehards, they will definitely not be able to stop the torrent of the court. If they join, they will be fine. Once they dare to resist, they will be eliminated directly. You are not welcome."

Guo Jia naturally understood what His Majesty meant: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can leave this matter to my ministers."

Liu Bian nodded and nodded: "Okay! Also, has Zichu arrived in Yizhou yet?"

"he"

Guo Jia said with a smile on his face: "Although we have already set off, we did not take the waterway, but the small road from Nanyang to Hanzhong. It is clear that we want to catch the other party by surprise."

"I guess I haven't arrived in Yizhou yet, but it should be soon. Your Majesty, just wait and see the show. The Yizhou gentry will definitely hate Liu Ba to death."

The corners of Liu Bian's lips raised slightly, full of joy: "As long as Liu Ba can reach Yizhou safely, then the water in Yizhou will definitely be muddied."

"At that time, Feng Xiao, your cooperation will be very crucial. The news must appear true, but I will never have any substantive intentions."

"Do you understand?"

If you want the market to gradually heat up, you must have good news.

The mere monkey craze among the people absolutely cannot support such a large market. It must have the support of the imperial court, otherwise the golden silk monkey will have no market and it will be difficult to realize it, and it will become a scam.

"I understand."

Guo Jiayi bowed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Today's school offices have already spread all over the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty. As long as Your Majesty gives an order, no matter what news, within five days, it will be spread throughout the north and south of the river."

Liu Bian was delighted, and nodded slowly: "Very good, since that's the case, I will leave this matter to you."

Guo Jia promised in response: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will live up to my high expectations."

*****
Yizhou, Shu County.

A thin man, dressed in coarse linen, was walking on the street, watching the continuous stream of pedestrians, listening to the continuous yelling, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

That's right.

He is Liu Ba.

From the small road in Nanyang, we arrived at Hanzhong Nanzheng.

Then from Nanzheng, together with the caravan, arrived in Chengdu, Shu County.

Along the way, he did see a lot of hunters hunting golden monkeys. After questioning, he found out that they only had a commission of [-] yuan a month, which was cheap labor.

of course!

Compared with them before, it is already very good.

But compared to the current price of the golden monkey, it seems to be at a disadvantage. Most of the profits have been made by the Yizhou gentry, and the money is full.

No!

Absolutely not!
Liu Ba arrived at Zhongxing Bank at the fastest speed. Standing in the hall, he was greeted by a waiter immediately: "May I ask this gentleman, are you planning to make a deposit or withdraw money?"

"Are you an employee of the bank?"

Liu Ba looked him up and down, and couldn't help asking.

"Yes."

The man nodded and pointed to his job number: "This is my job number, my name is Chen Xiong."

Liu Ba was very satisfied with Chen Xiong's service attitude, so he didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly, "Where is your owner Chu Nan?"

Chen Xiong frowned: "Ah? Are you looking for our Master Chu?"

It is clear.

Chen Xiong couldn't believe it.

Such a plainly dressed person can actually call out the name of their Chu Zhuangzhu directly.

Liu Ba nodded with great certainty: "That's right, I want to find your Master Chu Nan, he should have received the news, and he will send someone from Nanyang soon."

hiss-!
Although Chen Xiong didn't know the authenticity of this news, he dared not take the word Nanyang seriously.

Moreover, the person who can say the name of their owner is by no means someone he can afford.

Because of this, Chen Xiong bowed in a hurry, and said softly: "I don't know the gentleman's name, so the villain can go and report."

Liu Ba said softly, "I am Liu Ba, the Prime Minister of Commerce."

Chen Xiong nodded: "Okay, the villain will report now, and please wait a moment, sir."

Immediately.

Turn away.

Liu Ba sat in the guest seat beside him, waiting with peace of mind.

After a while, a man about 30 years old, full of spring breeze, hurried over: "Chu really didn't know that Liu Sicheng was coming, so he was far away, and I hope you will forgive me."

"where."

Liu Ba responded with a light smile, and saluted with a bow: "Liu did not follow the original route, and there was no notice along the way. You don't know, and it's normal. How can you blame you."

"Let's go."

Chu Nan hurriedly waved his hands to make a petition: "How about we go upstairs and talk about it?"

Liu Ba nodded: "Exactly, I also have a lot of situations, I need to know more about you, let's go."

Chu Nan smiled lightly: "Please, Liu Sicheng."

Liu Ba waved his hand: "You're welcome."

The two rushed to the third floor together.

This is the office area for the staff of the bank, and the innermost room is the owner's office.

Liu Baduan sat at the head, and Chu Nan sat facing each other, and ordered someone to cook tea for the guests.

In the beginning, Liu Ba just had a brief understanding of the operation of the bank, and after he had a basic understanding of the aristocratic families in Yizhou, he finally turned to the main topic:

"In this way, on the issue of the Golden Silk Monkey, the Yizhou aristocratic family has reached a unity, especially in terms of commissions for Orion, right?"

"Yes."

Chu Nan nodded affirmatively: "Yizhou's wealthy merchants respect the Wu family, and jointly run the business of the Golden Silk Monkey. The commission has been reduced from [-] to [-], and it will continue to decline. the trend of."

"Humph."

Liu Ba snorted softly, and subconsciously clenched his fists: "These hateful guys are so greedy. The golden monkey is already so expensive, and they still want to squeeze the common people. It's simply unreasonable."

Chu Nan tentatively asked, "I don't know how Liu Sicheng plans to deal with it?"

Liu Ba pondered for a long time, and said coldly: "Your Majesty demoted me here, so I will naturally find a way to curb this unhealthy trend. Although the imperial court has the idea of ​​buying the Golden Silk Monkey, even so, it can't be cheap. Yizhou Gentleman."

"Oh?"

Chu Nan was surprised: "Does the imperial court have the idea of ​​buying the Golden Silk Monkey?"

Liu Ba nodded affirmatively: "That's right, but it's just thinking about it now, and you should also know that there are always people in the court who will vote for His Majesty, especially those guys from the Shaofu."

"This"

Chu Nan couldn't believe it: "Isn't this too unbelievable?"

Liu Ba let out a long breath, and said softly: "Who says it's not? The traitor is in power. I'm afraid I can't stop it with my own strength. I can only do my best to do something for the people of the world."

Chu Nan frowned: "Does Liu Sicheng have a plan?"

Liu Ba shook his head: "Not yet, but we must not let the common people suffer. Starting tomorrow, we will post a notice that Zhongxing Bank will buy golden monkeys, one golden monkey and one horseshoe gold."

"what?"

Chu Nan was amazed: "I'm afraid this is not very good? If we act like this, we will definitely violate the interests of the Yizhou gentry. If they make trouble, we may not be able to deal with it."

"Trouble?"

Liu Ba sneered, and burst out with great righteousness: "Let them try to make trouble. The imperial court is eager for them to make trouble. If you dare to attack us, your majesty will have the right to send troops. The previous agreement with Liu Yan is naturally irrelevant. "

"Ah, this"

Chu Nan naturally understood what he meant: "However, Liu Sicheng, they dare not deal with them openly. If they deal with them secretly, we may feel uncomfortable."

Liu Ba smiled lightly: "Then let them come. I want to see who is more painful. If the imperial court really starts to buy golden monkeys, let's see who can take the initiative."

The Zhongxing Bank belongs to the Nanyang Hanting, and it is impossible for the Yizhou gentry to know this.

As long as Liu Ba participates in the business of the Golden Silk Monkey, their interests will inevitably be damaged, and this is a factor that cannot be ignored.

"okay."

Seeing that Chu Nan was hesitating, Liu Ba immediately made a decision and said, "I've already made a decision. I'll make an announcement tomorrow."

Chu Nan had no choice but to cup his hands: "Here."
