Therefore, Li Su does not need to be done in any de facto rectification measures. Just report the latest situation and meet the requirements.

Li Su took the opportunity to clarify that the newly established two counties of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou were entirely for the country, not for the increase of his own enfeoffment. Those two counties did not belong to any territory previously granted to him by the imperial court, but still belonged to the imperial court directly.

After Liu Bei looked at it, his final opinion was: Zhangzhou and Quanzhou should be taken back to the state according to the Prime Minister's proposal.

In addition, Juzhang County, which was conferred by the Prime Minister, benefited from the immigration construction process and had an additional 10,000 households. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Su asked to reduce some of his fiefs before, and took responsibility for the Yan rebellion, he temporarily cut Juzhang County.

In this way, all the treatment was put into practice. Finally, Liu Bei had a private communication with Li Su, killed Gongsun Du, and returned Ju Zhang to him.

Of course, during the whole process, the court's official documents were traveled back and forth several times. During this period, officials were sent to Luoyang to verify and verify it. It took a few months to make a decision. After all the procedures were understood, it was already the turn of summer and autumn in 204.

The "poor" Prime Minister Li temporarily retreated from the 20th county duke to the 19th county duke. He just thought it was a benefit of humility and a fullness would bring losses. Retrieving his fist is also to make a better punch.

When this result was revealed, it had been half a year since these immigrants actually started to reclaim the settlement in the south, and the first season of rice in the local area had also been harvested.

Farmers from the north also learned how to barely plant vegetables, tea trees, sugarcane and bamboo forests in the southern climate. Although the land was reclaimed for the first year, the harvest was very poor, but because the court had many years of tax exemption for new immigrants, they could barely survive.

Generally, even if the land reclamation is combined with burning wasteland to increase fertility, it will only produce 20% or 30% of the harvest in the first year, and the second year is about 5% or 70% or 80% in the third year, and then it will gradually be considered a mature land.

However, the places where Li Su set up new counties are along the river and coast. The government provides transportation capacity and invests in more small wooden boats, so that the people can fish for subsidies during the slack season, and it is impossible for people to starve to death.

Given the difficulty of land reclamation, Li Su applied for a tax exemption period of five years and a labor exemption period of three years. If there is a government project during the labor exemption period, the government can give the people money and production materials to offset the wages.

Under such discounts, all Li Su's immigrants gained a foothold and were prosperous and safe to produce. The eight Fujian lands in later generations also had a large-scale development led by the government for the first time, and the population of Han people in Fujian exceeded 200,000 for the first time. Li Su was later revered as the pioneer of Fujian and Taiwan, and was worshipped by some strange worship, which is all a story later.

...

Moreover, luck really favors Li Su, and some things are just about everything they want.

Didn’t it just mentioned that Liu Bei gave him a secret letter in private, promising that the counties and household registrations that were cut off this year would be sent back to Li Su when he made some achievements in Gongsun Du’s military use.

Just in the autumn of 204, Gongsun Du, who was far away in Sanhan, died of illness and passed the throne to his son Gongsun Kang.

Of course, the only thing worth regretting is that Li Su couldn't have known the news as soon as possible.

Because it's far overseas, the journey is long.

Moreover, before Gongsun Du died, he had been paying attention to the situation in the Central Plains and sent his sea boat to pretend to be a normal Zhongyuan sea merchant to spy on the news.

After Gongsun Du heard that Liu Bei had conquered all Cao Cao's territory, domestic construction has been very exciting in the past two or three years, and even all the rebel bandits that Huan Ling had not heard of for more than 30 years. At the beginning of this year, the last time the Taishan bandits and the remnants of Qingzhou soldiers was completely dealt with by Thunder. Since then, there has been no rebellion in the country.

Therefore, before Gongsun Du died, he was worried. He even followed the historical trajectory that he should have died in the winter of 204, but now he has been a few months in advance and died in fear in the autumn.

When he was dying, he tried hard to warn his son Gongsun Kang, who wanted to pass the throne, to keep it confidential and do a solid job in handing over Sanhan, Danluo, Tyma, Xiematai and other places. Ensure that all the political legacy he left was accepted and secure, and then the funeral was only held.

Otherwise, Gongsun Du felt that as long as Li Su crossed the sea to send troops, he could directly destroy all those who did not accept Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang cried for a long time before his father's illness bed, saying that he would remember that he would strictly block the news and clean up people who were unstable internally to ensure that the process of transfer and replacement of power was stable.

Gongsun Du heard his son's promise and died. Then Gongsun Kang killed all the eunuchs who served his father during his serious illness, cremated them with Gongsun Du's body, destroying the body and not allowing death to be heard.

Then, out of fear, many alien chiefs from Sanhan and Xiematai were killed. Like a patient with paranoid disease, everyone looked like Tonghan's traitor.

For a moment, from the San Han Dynasty to the Kitakyushu area in Japan, people were in panic. Many tribes that had been conquered by the Gongsun family over the years were temporarily frightened by the terrifying new rule of Gongsun Kang.

Afterwards, Gongsun Kang further mobilized his forces to prepare for the navy. Taking advantage of the fact that maritime trade exchanges were not frequent in winter, he stopped the merchant fleets in Sanhan, Liaodong, Donglai and Donghai. He did not even send out the fleets disguised as big Han merchant ships. He was afraid that the news of his father's death was leaked and the Han army noticed it.

As for the ships that did not do business, they were all confiscated by Gongsun Kang and replenished as a navy and pulled into a blockade line to prevent the Han army from crossing the Han River in Lelang County from the south (the Han River in South Korea) and also prevent the Han navy from crossing the sea from the Donglai Peninsula from crossing the sea.

Such diligent news blockade work really made Gongsun Kang delay his father's death until the next year, which was the early summer of 205, and he hid it for four or five months.

Of course, in early 205, only the Sanhan region knew that Gongsun Du was dead. Considering that Sanhan and the Han were still separated by a sea, it was early summer when it was finally spread to the Han Dynasty and Xu Yang and other places.

That is, in April 205, the time after the spring plowing ends.

At that time, Mi Zhu, Zhuge Liang and Taishici both noticed that the trade ships disguised by the three Koreans must have dropped sharply in the new year, so they followed this clue and dug deeper, and finally dug out the heavy material.

Zhuge Liang was in Donghai County. After confirming all this, he of course reported it to Li Su who was in Wu County.

When Li Su received the news, his first reaction was that he felt extremely regretful. Of course, he was not regretting Gongsun Du's death, but rather regretting that his intelligence work was not good enough and his historical knowledge was not solid enough.

Who told him that he had never read Gongsun Du's resume in his previous life? Li Su only knew that when Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi went to Liaodong in 207, the Lord of Liaodong had already transferred to Gongsun Kang. But Li Su really didn't know which year did Gongsun Du die during the period from 202 to 207?

If I had read a little more carefully in my previous life and had a predecessor, wouldn’t I have been able to seize the opportunity of sending troops to transfer power to the Gongsun family and his son more accurately?

But regret is useless. Li Su knows very well that Gongsun Kang must have blocked the news for a long time. At this moment, he should have grasped his power firmly.

So the big man doesn’t have to hurry. The key is to do the preparations thoroughly and do it solidly before taking action. If you have missed it, you don’t have to snatch it.

Taishi Ci, Gan Ning and other generals asked for the battle, hoping to use troops immediately, but Li Su held them down.

Li Su advised his subordinates like this: "Don't worry, our army has missed the time when Gongsun and his son hand over power, and it's not a few months away. Now we have just obtained military information, and our army originally planned to attack Sanhan at least next year, or even the beginning of the year after tomorrow.

Are all military rations, equipment and ships ready? No, so why not try to raise enough first! In addition, I will send envoys to intimidate Gongsun Kang and give him a condition for surrender, and scare him with the army's pressure. If he is willing to surrender, it would be best if he is willing to surrender."

When Taishici heard about this decision, he hurriedly said, "The Prime Minister is so true that Gongsun Kang surrenders?"

Li Su Zhizhu waved her hand while holding her feet: "As long as our messenger is strict enough, Gongsun Kang will feel that our army is not ready for the war across the sea and is bluffing.

In that case, he would not surrender immediately, but would instead strictly guard against the Han River and the Strait at all costs. This highly tense guard will inevitably not last long. When he feels that the most dangerous time has passed and when he is relaxed, it will be a good opportunity for our army to launch a subsequent sneak attack."

When Taishi Ci and Gan Ning heard that Li Su had arranged a sneak attack, they didn't say anything. They just needed to carry out the Prime Minister's order.

Of course, Li Su doesn’t have to worry about the preparations for war. He just needs to pay attention to the grand strategy.

A month later, Xuzhou also made basic dispatch and took charge of Qing. Zhuge Liang, who had been in charge of Xu for a year and a half, personally went south to Guangling to cross the river to meet with his mentor to discuss strategic ideas. Li Su met him in Wu County.

When the master and apprentice met, Zhuge Liang did not hide his doubts: "Why did the teacher think that Gongsun Kang would be so desperate and fight with the court to maintain his power? Could it be that the teacher has a very detailed understanding of Gongsun Kang?

The students only knew that Gongsun Du was the rebellious lord and was unwilling to be inferior to others, but they knew nothing about Gongsun Kang. However, they judged it with common sense. Even if Cao Cao was as strong as Cao Cao and was defeated and died, Cao Ang dared not resist any more, let alone Gongsun Kang?"

Li Su smiled and answered: "I don't know much about Gongsun Kang, but I think the enemy is lenient. The key is to grasp the psychology of these people's "reliance on themselves and the dangers". The biggest difference between Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang and Cao Ang is not people, but places.

The land of Qingyan occupied by Cao Ang has been the homeland of China since ancient times. Since the reunification of Qin Shihuang, all the Chinese people in the world have known that the princes who dominated Qingyan must be coveted by the common rulers of the world. How could they allow others to snore on the side of the bed?

However, the three Hans occupied by Gongsun Du is a land of barbarians. In the eyes of the Han people, deep control of barbarians always has a boundary and an end, and it is impossible to expand without restrictions. Gongsun Du has been in the three Hans for more than ten years and has already figured out the local situation. He knew that even if he lost, as long as he was not captured, he still had the chance to continue running eastward. At most, he could hide his identity.

Therefore, this root is in the heart of the Central Plains, which is completely different. If a person has the opportunity to be the leader of the outside world and claim to be the supreme person, he does not have to rely on others to breathe. Even if he eats hungry and eats fishy smell, and drinks thirsty and drinks slurry and cheese, it is still something that people yearn for."

Zhuge Liang pondered along his mentor's ideas for a long time, and had to admit that the mentality gap was indeed the case. His mentor's understanding of human nature was too good.

It is better to be a chicken than a cow, and have the opportunity to be the boss. Even if it is a group of barbarians, it is very attractive. Who wouldn't want to?

But the key to the problem seems to have changed.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while and said worriedly: "In this way, although our army will probably win as long as we fight Gongsun Kang, the key to the problem has also changed. He will no longer be able to defeat him and do his best.
