I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 689 The Rising Construction Corps

The mission in Novice Village went very smoothly. Those powerful men who secretly gave food to Ma Chao's rebels never expected that shortly after giving the food to the rebels headed by Ma Chao, the soldiers and horses of Zhang Fei, Zhang He, Lu Bu and others He arrived quickly.

Without saying a word, they directly sent troops to attack these powerful Wu Forts.

Although these powerful men in Liangzhou are quite prestigious in the local area, and are related to the local Qiang people, they are quite powerful, but even so, they were still unable to stop Zhang Fei's fierce attack.

Soon, Zhang Fei and others captured seven forts belonging to the local powerful in Hanyang County.

After all, the people of Liangzhou were not very stable in doing things. After Zhang Fei captured their Wubao, he unexpectedly searched these powerful Wubao for letters secretly communicating with Ma Teng, Han Sui and others.

Many of these letters clearly stated the details of their communication with rebels such as Ma Teng and Han Sui, and the promises they made to each other.

Now, Zhang Fei didn't even have to ask the rebel soldiers to directly testify against these powerful men.

It is said that people in Liangzhou have little desire for academics and are overly flamboyant and indulgent. Now that I see it, this is really the case.

However, in order to stabilize the hearts of other powerful people in Liangzhou, Zhang Fei still needs to make these evidence public in Liangzhou.

After all, if the other powerful people are angered and think that Zhang Fei is going after their property, and then everyone gets entangled with the Qiang people to rebel against the court and fight against Zhang Fei, then Zhang Fei will lose more than he gains.

Zhang Fei also learned this move from Liu Jian. He should comfort those who should be appeased, and destroy those who should be eliminated. Unite all the friends who can be united, divide them into pieces, and defeat them one by one.

Sure enough, things were just as Zhang Fei thought. The other local tycoons in Hanyang County saw that Zhang Fei had wiped out seven local tycoons as soon as he came up. They all had some doubts in their hearts and felt uneasy about their future.

But as Zhang Fei publicized the evidence that these people had colluded with the rebels, the other powerful men in Hanyang County were relieved.

So this is ah!

Later, Zhang Fei also sent envoys to several of the largest powerful families in Hanyang County to explain to them the interests and risks involved, and asked these local families to help him appease other local small and medium-sized powerful families.

Now that Zhang Yide from Yan is here, you all have to express your gratitude!

Zhang Fei had just arrived in Hanyang County. He first defeated Ma Chao, wiped out seven powerful families who had joined forces with the rebels, and then appeased other powerful people. This was a blockbuster, making all the locals in Hanyang County hate him. Watch with admiration.

Subsequently, Zhang Fei began to make arrangements for the land, property, and hidden population of the seven powerful families that had been eliminated.

First, Zhang Fei ordered people to measure the confiscated land, and then registered the land in the name of Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps. It was managed by Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps. However, the land still belonged to the state. After all, Liangzhou The Production and Construction Corps also belonged to the Han Dynasty.

After he compiled the list of these lands, he immediately sent someone to deliver them to the imperial court.

From another perspective, these lands will still belong to the state from now on, but the state will only lease these lands to the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps.

As for the confiscated goods, including these powerful materials and people, Zhang Fei also ordered people to register them.

He imitated the household registration system of the state and county and created household registration for these farmers.

From now on, these hidden people will also become the subjects of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that these people did not belong to the county officials, but still belonged to the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps.

From now on, the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps will become an independent organization, with its own land and population, its own production, its own farming, its own business, and a parallel system with the prefectures and counties.

And those seven powerful Uburgs have also become fortresses under the name of the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps - as well as their manors.

Zhang Fei ordered his people to divide the houses in these manors into rooms for his soldiers and disciples to live in, striving to give everyone a place to live.

Of course, due to the large number of people, it does not mean that everyone can live in an independent house. They may have three or four people sharing a small room.

But even so, for many disciples, this kind of distribution is very good. After all, when they were originally employed as disciples by the powerful, the local powerful only let them work and produce, but the living conditions were extremely poor.

Some of them even built shelters to sleep in the wild without even a brick or tile of their own.

Being able to live in a house now is a great thing for them.

At this time, the newly appointed governor of Liangzhou had arrived in Ji County alone. After hearing Zhang Fei's arrangement, he was quite angry.

If the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps does this, doesn't it conflict with the local system of Zhou County, Liangzhou?

From then on, it became one mountain and two masters.

How is this possible?

The newly appointed governor of Liangzhou was none other than Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng, one of the clan members of the Han Dynasty, who had previously served as the chief lieutenant general in the imperial court.

Liu Biao's handsome lieutenant general was doing a good job, but Liu Jian suddenly asked him to be the governor of Liangzhou, which made Liu Biao a little nervous.

Moreover, he originally wanted to start a school, but Liu Jian suddenly asked him to be a governor in a border county, which made Liu Biao feel a little depressed.

But Liu Jian had a serious talk with Liu Biao.

He told Liu Biao that Liangzhou was the top priority of the Han Dynasty. There must be a respected, capable and powerful governor to coordinate the overall situation in order to stabilize the situation. After all, there were Qiang people there, and many people lacked perseverance. .

People in many areas are stubborn and uneducated.

For the peace and prosperity of the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou must have a man like Liu Biao to appease and improve it!

Liu Jian chose Liu Biao because Liu Biao was capable and powerful.

Second, Liu Biao has the ambition to start a school!

Liu Jian felt that since schools were to be established, they should not be established only within the territory of the Han Dynasty.

A frontier place like Liangzhou, a place with few academics, is more suitable for Liu Biao to perform!

Liu Biao wanted to bring the culture of the Han Dynasty to the country so that people in the border counties could know its principles. Only in this way could the establishment of schools be truly raised to an unprecedented level.

This is a huge challenge for Liu Biao.

If he succeeds, Liu Biao will definitely leave a significant mark in the history of the founding of learning in the Han Dynasty.

Historically, Liu Biao sat in Jingzhou for eighteen years and managed the entire Jingzhou into a land of joy. Even when Cao Cao was victorious, he failed to capture Jingzhou.

Only after Liu Biao died and Jingzhou fell apart, Cao Cao took advantage of the disintegration of Jingzhou to capture Jingzhou. This shows that Liu Biao was not enterprising enough but was more than capable of defending.

Such a person cannot open up new territories, but if he is allowed to govern a place, he can be said to be a strong hand!

Regarding Liangzhou, Liu Jian didn't need Liu Biao to be enterprising. He only needed Liu Biao to manage the local military and civilians. Especially since Liu Biao had the ambition and ability to start a school, let him spread education in Liangzhou. For Liu Biao It is also a huge challenge. For the Han court, it is also the best choice to appease Xizhou.

So, after Liu Biao had a thoughtful conversation with Liu Jian, he finally decided to come to Liangzhou and become the governor of Liangzhou. Of course, Liu Biao also discussed a lot with Liu Jian in advance about the conditions for his governance in Liangzhou, hoping that Liu Jian would provide him with full support in the future, and Liu Jian said there was no problem.

Liu Jian initially planned to send an elite force to escort Liu Biao into Liangzhou, but Liu Biao directly refused.

He has his arrogance and character, and he wants to ride into Liangzhou alone.

Of course, this so-called riding into Liangzhou alone does not mean that Liu Biao really rode to Liangzhou alone.

It was such a long journey from Chang'an to Liangzhou, and Liu Biao rode there alone. Instead of letting the thieves chop him up, he had to be skinned alive by the Qiang people. The beasts he encountered along the way were enough to choke him.

He still led some followers and guards, but the size of this team was not too large.

Therefore, the so-called "riding into Liangzhou alone" is only a slightly exaggerated statement.

However, after Liu Biaodan rode into Liangzhou, before he could take his seat in Liangzhou, he heard Zhang Fei's sexy moves in Liangzhou, and his heart suddenly went cold.

Zhang Fei acted like this, and from now on he would become a rival to him, the governor of Liangzhou.

The prime minister is too spoiled to his sworn brother.

Therefore, Liu Biao wrote an urgent letter to the court to report the matter, and sent a private message to Liu Jian, hoping that Liu Jian could put Zhang Fei under the control of the local state pastoralists and hope that he could hand over the management rights of the land.

In addition, the household registration of those butchers should be registered normally in the county office and county office household registration books.

In response to Liu Biao's request for instructions, Liu Jian simply gave a five-word answer.

"I know, let's discuss it later."

After seeing Liu Jian's reply, Liu Biao knew that this matter was not done by Zhang Fei without permission, but that Liu Jian had already instructed Zhang Fei.

Sure enough, not long after, Liu Jian issued a management system for the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps in the name of the imperial court.

Obviously, the management system and methods of Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps are completely consistent with what Zhang Fei is doing now.

After learning about the new system of the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps from the imperial court, Liu Biao did not raise any objection to Liu Jian on the matter.

He began to settle down and go about his business.

As for the imperial court, Zhang Ji became the current prefect of Hanyang County.

He came to Hanyang County and cooperated with Liu Biao in local politics.

As the prefect of Hanyang County, Zhang Ji began to regulate the people's livelihood in Hanyang County and carry out farmland and water conservancy projects, while Liu Biao coordinated the overall situation of Liangzhou.

However, before Liu Biao started his work, he also made an appointment with Zhang Fei to divide the power and boundaries between the two people.

Liu Biao told Zhang Fei that he knew that Zhang Fei was following Liu Jian's orders to develop production and construction corps in Liangzhou. However, Liangzhou was only a Liangzhou after all, and many of Zhang Fei's powers overlapped with those of him as the governor and the local county governor. I hope that both parties can take each other's emotions into consideration when acting, and discuss and resolve any conflicts. After all, we are all members of the imperial court and work for the imperial court. In the future, we should still discuss things in a friendly manner when dealing with local affairs.

Zhang Fei naturally agreed to Liu Biao's request. Now he is no longer the reckless man who just joined the army. Now Zhang Fei not only has excellent military ability, but also has high political sensitivity, is quite strategic, and has a long-term vision.

He patted his chest and told Liu Biao that everything done by the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps was in compliance with the laws of the imperial court. Of course, even so, it was not impossible for Zhang Fei to make some slight concessions to the governor and local governor for the sake of the overall situation. After all, is everyone’s ultimate goal to pacify Liangzhou? Build a good protective barrier to the west of Chang'an.

Everyone values ​​harmony.

Seeing Zhang Fei being so talkative, Liu Biao's heart dropped.

He immediately made an agreement with Zhang Fei to govern Liangzhou together and serve the imperial court.

After making an agreement with Liu Biao, Zhang Fei began to repair and rebuild the Wubao left by the seven powerful families he had eliminated.

Wubao, the head of the seven powerful families, has been operating in Liangzhou for several generations. It occupies a vast area and is surrounded by many manors, just like small castles.

Zhang Fei built all these Wu forts into military bases belonging to the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps to station troops and raise food. Then he asked all his soldiers to work with the Tuhu population to cultivate the fields left by these seven powerful families. .

Zhang Fei divided the confiscated fields into ten areas, and each area was divided into military and civilian areas.

The distribution ratio of grain in Mintun District is based on the ratio of the imperial court's current formula for the world, and no one can say that he is wrong.

The proportion of grain in the military garrison area is based on 37%, 70% is owned by the public, and 30% is divided equally among the private property of the sergeants.

In a sense, this can be regarded as a channel for soldiers to make extra money.

For the Han people who are essentially the most hard-working people, Zhang Fei's move was very popular.

In this way, the Liangzhou Production and Construction Corps started their half-farming, half-military survival mode.

The situation in Novice Village has opened up.

Ma Chao fled back to Longxi County in panic and apologized to Han Sui and Ma Teng.

After all, he is Ma Teng's son. Even if he loses the battle, Han Sui and Ma Teng will not embarrass him.

Not only were they not embarrassed, Ma Teng and Han Sui also comforted Ma Chao.

After appeasing Ma Chao, Han Sui immediately discussed with Ma Teng.

"Shou Cheng, now that we have lost the first battle, Zhang Fei's morale is at its peak. In your opinion, what should we do next?"

Ma Teng sneered and said: "Dong Zhuo's hundred thousand troops were in Liangzhou before, but we couldn't do anything. Now there is only Zhang Fei, and more than twenty thousand troops are not worth mentioning?"

Han Sui nodded and said: "That said, after all, Zhang Fei is a general who has been fighting fiercely in the border counties for a long time, and he also has Liu Jian supplying him in the rear. It can be said that it is extremely difficult to deal with. We still have to think of a proper way. That’s it.”

Ma Teng smiled and said: "The land of Liangzhou has a very deep strategic area. We have now moved to Longxi County. If Zhang Fei wants to fight us decisively, he will definitely drive his army here. By then, their supplies will not be able to keep up. Soon, It will recede naturally, there is no need to worry Wen Yue."

Han Sui listened to Ma Teng's words and felt that what he said was very reasonable, so the Xiliang rebels began to wait for the news that Zhang Fei had driven his army to come for a decisive battle with his side.

However, what I never expected was that Zhang Fei's troops did not go to Longxi County. Instead, they took root in Hanyang County, the easternmost part of Liangzhou, and began to live like a farmer in their own land and business.

When the news reached Han Sui and Ma Teng, they were both stunned.
