After discussing how to ensure the smooth implementation of the reform and how to take over the last enclave of Guiyang, Jingnan, this year, and Lingling County, Liu Bei thought that Li Su's big game had ended here.

But Li Su always unexpectedly. After all the first two steps were arranged, he added a little surprise that was icing on the cake:

"King, since we are going to collect the two counties of Jingnan and have implemented reforms this year, it is better to promote them with great fanfare. Maybe we can gain some unexpected surprises from the outside and paralyze our potential enemies."

Li Su's style is: if you have to do practical things, you have to brag, you have to be profitable and famous. Moreover, this reputation is not a false reputation, but can actually have the effect of a diplomatic smoke bomb.

Although the final effect cannot be confirmed, the cost is low, and it is not useless. It is like if you seal the cigarette, you cannot guarantee that you will not be shot by the enemy who fired the cigarette, but the seal still needs to be sealed.

Liu Bei's ears were already numb and he didn't want to use his brain anymore: "Okay, let's finish it at once. How can I squeeze out the remaining value of your tricks?"

Li Su: "We should ask someone to be the deeds of the King from last autumn to the present. The folk wrote books and biography, starting from advocating the King himself to save the Lord himself, and wrote to the reform and strengthening of the reform and overhaul of water conservancy, and preparing for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains to restore the old capital. After writing, the seals should be engraved and sold, and not in the name of the King, just be regarded as sold by the folk book merchants themselves.

There are several benefits after this book is spread to Guanzhong or Jingyang and Guandong: First of all, we originally planned to attack Li Jue and Guo Si next year, and as long as they see the heroic figure of "The king bravely rescues the enemy, personally attacks the arrows and stones, and continues to fight when injured." Li Jue and Guo Si and their advisers will definitely think more:

It is believed that it was an allusion that Emperor Gaozu pretended to be "the enemy of the enemy" after being shot in the arrow, concealing the true injuries and stabilizing the hearts of the people in Yizhou. In this way, they might further think that our Yizhou sealed the pass and banned business travel exchanges this year because the king was seriously injured and repeated, so our army had to focus on stabilizing the internal situation. In this way, they will become less and less prepared for our Northern Expedition next year.

Secondly, if the book also mentions that we overhaul the water conservancy and change the tax law, it will be easier to induce the enemy to think that we are going to recover from the injury. Because as we all know, if it is for the purpose of conscription and accumulation of grain and the effect is achieved in a short period of time, the fastest way is to handle special matters, temporary taxes and forced conscription, rather than a reform that takes a long time to achieve results.

When Shang Yang was just reforming Qin Xiaogong, Qin was not immediately prosperous and strong, and even had internal frictions and internal fighting to fight back. It was a century-long plan. Later, after striving for six generations, the world was finally found.

The development of water conservancy is also a major plan that can only take effect in a long time. South Korea sent Zheng State to build the Zheng State Canal for Qin State, with the intention of exhausting and strengthening Qin to make it unable to destroy Han within several years. Although the Zheng State Canal eventually made Qin stronger, it also won a long time difference for South Korea.

If there is a neutral and fair literary scholar who spread all these to the world and cooperate with some physical evidence, such as Shu Jin appeared in the Yangzhou market, who is willing to plot against our enemies, he will definitely make the judgment that 'From the defeat of Wuzhangyuan, we may take several years of long-term solutions to restore national strength and people's strength to fight again'! As long as this judgment takes root in Li Jue and Guo Si's heart, I am sure to use his plan to separate the two thieves of Li Guo and Guo to create better conditions for the Northern Expedition!'

Liu Bei bit his lower lip and licked his upper lip again, trying to say something, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

How many times does Boya have to do with this series of plans?

After a long time, Liu Bei sighed: "I remember that when Yun Chang was reading the Spring and Autumn Period, he couldn't help but talk to Gu Bingzhu at night, and was sent to Zigong on an envoy, and kept the Lu chaos and Qi and strong Jin to defeat Wu Bayue. I was fascinated by the fact that I always laughed at Yun Chang: The words of the ancients may not be fully believed. These five fruits are all attributed to Zigong, which is a misunderstanding.

Seeing this series of plans today, within one move, I bought Changsha County, reformed the law, repaired water conservancy, suppressed the unscrupulous businessmen against the law, appeased allies, confused the king and the country, and linked together. The calculations stretched for thousands of miles, and the time lasted nearly a year... It was too much for Zigong, and the ancients really didn't bully me. What doubts do I have? Just do as planned, and I don't feel at ease when you do your business."

Liu Bei originally wanted to ask "Who will write the story of a celebrity who confuses the enemy?", but he felt that asking again seemed to have no trust in Li Su, so he simply did not ask.

People can't figure out the whole world, but it's impossible for them to not understand these trivial matters.

However, Liu Bei could not ask, Li Su had to report, and he said in a word: "Since that's the case, I asked Wang Can to write about the deeds of the king governing Shu and rescuing the emperor. This man came to Shu with Gu Yong two years ago. At that time, he was only fifteen years old and was invited by Mr. Cai to study in Jiangzhou, so he never became an official.

In the past two years, he first followed Gu Yongzhi for a year, and later Gu Yong went to Jianning County to be the prefect of Jianning County. Wang Can stayed in Jiangzhou and was taught by Mr. Cai himself. Among the letters from home, I have heard that this person likes to write about the deeds of heroes and heroes. There is a draft called "Heroes' Records", which is supplemented from time to time, and has never finished the book.

I will go to Jiangzhou in person. Before leaving Sichuan, I will ask him to speed up the manuscripts in Jiangzhou, and then ask the Zhen family’s printing shop to arrange a batch of carved printings overnight, and take them to Jingzhou for sale and transfer them from Nanyang to Guanzhong."

Liu Bei had no objection to anything else, he didn't like reading books, nor did he know Wang Can's draft. He was a little reluctant to leave after hearing that Li Su was about to go east in person, so he hurriedly grabbed Li Su's hand to comfort:

"You want to go to Jingzhou in person? Is the matter with Zilong so complicated? Wouldn't it be too hard?"

Li Su was not used to being grabbed by men, so he pulled it out quietly and smiled calmly: "Don't worry, you can go there for at most two or three months, and you will come back in July autumn harvest. I will leave for a while, so that I can also paralyze those who oppose the new law in Shu County, making them feel careless and ready to move.

Moreover, after all, there are too many secret matters, so it is inevitable that others will leak the secrets. Three Gorges are dangerous and the news is inconvenient. If Zilong encounters some changes, he will have no place to ask for instructions. The king has only appointed Zilong as the prefect of Changsha. He took down Lingling and Guiyang afterwards, how to serve as an official and appease him? I am afraid that Zilong has no authorization, right?

Therefore, there must be a governor who goes to Jingzhou. If I don’t go, I can only go there personally. But according to what Wang Can said in "The Legend of Heroes", the king should be recuperating now. How can he show up in areas outside Yizhou?"

Liu Bei nodded: "What about the future?"

Li Su: "It depends on the king's decision. Now it's just a temporary solution. It depends on whether Zilong is needed to lead troops to the northern expedition next year. If necessary, he has to be sent back secretly to replace him with a valiant and important military officials who are polite and good at guarding."

Li Su was not so stupid that he could tell Liu Bei directly who to serve as a chief official in the border area. He would not have to go through such muddy waters. The top leader of the state level must be thought of by Liu Bei himself, and Li Su at most suggested that he be at county level talents.

Liu Bei thought for himself: "Zi Jing was good at guarding him and had been in Hanzhong for several years without any mistakes. When the Northern Expedition came out of the Pass, Hanzhong became a hinterland and no longer needed Zi Jing to guard him. Unfortunately, Zi Jing was too young to be the only one in the affairs of half of the state.

I thought that before the winter is closed, Zi Jing was transferred to Changsha and secretly replaced Zilong's position. However, various parts of Changsha still beat Zilong's banner, so as not to make the traitors wary. When they noticed that Zilong was transferred, our army was gathering elite soldiers and strong generals. At the same time, after Zilong left, Jingnan lacked powerful generals who were good at fighting, so that Youping, who was familiar with water war, would temporarily help Zijing to control the naval army.

Once the Northern Expedition was a little successful, he sent Yun Chang to take charge of Jingnan and partnered with Zijing, Wu and Wen. Yun Chang has always been proud of the superiors but cannot bear the superiors. He is arrogant and proud. Only those who do not pursue fame can catch his eyes. Only those who are knowledgeable in real life can avoid future troubles if Zijing is harmonious and upright.

Since Yun Chang returned from the south and the north, it has been a few months since he returned from the south and the north. I can see clearly - so far, there are only a few civil servants that Yun Chang can get together, except you, Zijing and Ziyu. The rest from Mr. Cai and the proud and proud Yuan Tan brought by Mr. Cai, to Gongda and the three others who were sent by Dong Zhe two years ago, Yun Chang couldn't get together, alas."

Guan Yu's despise of famous scholars is probably unchanged in his life, so he could only chat with Li Su, Lu Su, and Zhuge Jin in Liu Bei's army. Even Cai Yong, Gu Yong, Xun You and Xu Jing all bowed their eyes to welcome people, and always felt that it was either "finding the corrupt scholars of the world who picked up the sentences" or "Famous scholars in Yingchuan had only a false reputation."

Liu Bei is still very good at knowing people. Li Su heard that he had arranged so clearly, and he didn't say a single extra word in a sensible way, and directly expressed his controversy.

However, Zhang Fei held a chicken leg bone next to him. He didn't care about the previous topic. After talking about this, he quickly threw the bone onto the table: "Brother, what about me? Where can I guard the time?"

Liu Bei: "When Chang'an was first settled, let Boya suppress the old land of Yizhou. You and Zilong went to pacify the thieves in Liangzhou! The rebels in Xiliang cannot be wiped out for a while. Even if they blocked Chen Cang and Jieting when they recovered Chang'an, they would not allow Liangzhou bandit reinforcements west of Longshan to enter Guanzhong sooner or later, they would have to free up their hands and finally clear them.

If you are not good at commanding a large number of cavalry, you will be responsible for guarding Chencang and Jieting at that time. If Tianshui is restored, you will move Tianshui and let Zilong attack."

Liu Bei has already made a wish to be appointed as an official, and he hinted that when he takes Chang'an, he will let Guan Yu be the governor of Jingzhou, Li Su be the governor of Yizhou, Zhang Fei be the governor of Liangzhou, and Liu Bei himself is in charge of the capital Chang'an and the three auxiliary places of Yongzhou.

But it is probably temporary. Liu Bei must have Li Su advised him on the overall situation, so Li Su can't be the governor of Yizhou for a year or two. When Liu Bei digests the territory and is preparing to expand further, he will definitely transfer Li Su back to the center.

At that time, Li Su may be the governor of Yongzhou, and Yizhou will be replaced by someone else. It will be at least three years later. Let’s see if there are enough trustworthy civil servants growing up in these three years.

If there was no such thing, Liu Bei's intention was to let Zhang Fei be the governor of Yizhou after Liangzhou was pacified and Zhao Yun be the governor of Liangzhou. This kind of change of defense can ensure that everyone has no loyalty problems and will not form another separatist that cannot be defeated.

After all, people's hearts cannot stand the test. Apart from this level of life and death brother, it is difficult for others to give a high position at the provincial governor level. In the future, there is no need for militarization management. It is better to "destroy the pastoral envoy" and restore the position of governor with much less power.

However, it was a waste to make Zhang Fei a good man in Yizhou. Because Zhang Fei's internal affairs were not good, he was put on the position of Yizhou's governor because of his reliable loyalty. However, in this way, he wasted his fighting talent as a famous general in charge of troops and stayed in the absolute rear where there was no war.

Liu Bei was familiar with the history of Emperor Gaozu's founding and knew that Emperor Gaozu had completely entrusted the land of Yizhou to Xiao He. As long as he focused on raising grain and conscription to support the front line, he did not need any generals. So the best situation was to let Lu Su or Zhuge Jin raise money, grain and weapons according to the law, without giving the military power in the whole province.

Unfortunately, Liu Bei still kept this question hidden in his heart and didn't say it. If he asked Li Su, if he asked so specifically, Li Su would definitely have a flash of inspiration and repay him: This is not easy? While abolishing the pastoral and changing the envoy, he should directly set up a "government envoy"!

In history, the official position of governor was not set up by the Tang and Five Dynasties after the integration of military, government and finance, and later dynasties learned lessons from the separatist of the Chinese and rural areas. It was limited to "only law enforcement power and financial proof power (including part of the administrative power according to law), but no independent administrative power and military power." The purpose was to block the logistics of ancient border officials such as Jiedu/Prince and Patriarch, so that their money, grain, and military needs could not be independent, and they had two lines of income and expenditure.
