"Lord, merciful and ambitious, Lu Su is willing to follow his lord to fight for the Chinese nation."

"Lord, Zhuge Jin vows to follow the lord to achieve peace in the world."

"Zijing and Ziyu, both are noble men. How can we know why the world is in chaos? Both are national men, so we must have the ambition and ideal of 'establishing our minds for the heaven and earth, establishing our destiny for the people, inheriting our unique knowledge for the past sages, and opening peace for all ages'. Therefore, we must think about the reasons for the chaos and make targeted changes. Otherwise, even if the world is unified, the root causes of chaos will continue, and sooner or later it will be in chaos."

"Since Huan Ling, the eunuchs have been tyrannical, the relatives of the outside world have been in power, corruption has arisen, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion has led to chaos in the world." Zhuge Jin saw these reasons on the surface.

"Lord, in addition to what Ziyu said, there is also the power of the aristocratic clans is too great, the power of the central government cannot stabilize the world, and the local government recruits troops and horses to lead to the division of the world." Lu Su looked more comprehensively.

"What Zijing and Ziyu said are very reasonable. But in Zhongmou's opinion, these are all superficial reasons, and the root cause is the problem of the state system. The state system cannot limit local tyrants, eunuchs and relatives, nor does it have a system to select good talents to govern the country, and there is no system to ensure the stability of people's lives. Even if there are some systems, such as the system of talent selection, there is no guarantee of how to implement it well, that is, this system is actually problematic, imperfect, and loopholes will be captured by the aristocratic families, which will lead to unstability in the world. Therefore, while we are unified by force, we also need to have a better system. This system must meet the current needs and be able to correct and grow when the country's form changes, so that we can bring long-term peace to the world."

"Lord Gao Jian, Lu Su worships you!"

"Lord, Gao Jian, Zhuge Jin admires you!"

"These all need to be explored with me. In the future, we must constantly adjust our policies according to the situation in the world. Of course, today we will not say so much. My own ideas are not mature yet. Our Jiangdong is still in a corner. It is too early to say these. I summoned two of you today to talk to you about the strategy of pacifying Shanyue. My Jiangdong is located in Jiangnan, with a population less than the north, with a vast land and sparse population. However, the climate in Jiangnan is more suitable for farming than in the north, with dense water networks, and it is very suitable for planting rice. As long as it is properly managed, it can feed hundreds of millions of people. So my purpose is to let the people of Shanyue go down the mountain to serve my Jiangdong people. Adult strong men can serve as my Jiangdong soldiers. The rest are our Jiangdong farmers, and enjoy the same treatment as our Chinese people."

"The Lord is fair and calm Shanyue is indeed far-sighted. The people of Shanyue can add countless sources of troops and food and grass to our Jiangdong. However, Shanyue people have never abide by the laws and regulations, and they kill wildly, so the governance time may be delayed." Lu Su also did some homework before coming.

"I also know Zijing's words, so we must first have a plan and take multiple measures. We must pacify large areas south of the Yangtze River such as Shanyue and Jiaozhou within five years, including the Yiyi in the southwest of Yizhou. Then we must pacify Jingzhou before the northern Cao Yuan decides the victory or defeat, that is, to do these within seven years. This is a rough time plan for me."

"Lord, how do you know that Cao Yuan can decide the winner in about seven years? It's hard to determine." Zhuge Jin was not very convinced of Sun Quan's plan and prediction.

"How long will the north be able to decide a northern overlord? Actually, this is not important, but there will be basically results in five to ten years, so we only have five to ten years to prepare. In addition, no matter when the north decides the victory or defeat, we must end the troubled times as soon as possible in order to make peace in the world, and we must achieve our goals as soon as possible." Sun Quan cannot say that I know that there will be a Battle of Red Cliffs after I have been in charge of Eastern Wu for eight years. Moreover, in Sun Quan's subconscious, this Battle of Red Cliffs cannot be fought. It has changed history after traveling through time. Who knows whether this Battle of Red Cliffs can still be won.

"Lu Su can understand the lord's urgent mood, but the lord is the youngest among the princes in the world. In fact, there is no need to be too urgent. It would be bad if you cause chaos in a hurry." Lu Su reminded.

"Zijing, I know this, but life is short and there are many days left, so we still have to seize the day. Let's take a look at the plan I have drawn up to pacify Shanyue and manage Shanyue." As he said that, Sun Quan asked the maids around him to hand over the plan to Lu Su and Zhuge Jin.

Half an hour passed, and after reading this plan, the expressions on their faces went from praise at the beginning to convincing later to worship, and finally fell to the ground together: "The lord is wise and powerful, and he is the first person in the ages. My respect is like a surging river... "

Seeing his expression for two days, Sun Quan knew that the two of them had basically been convinced and was always happy. Lu Su was a great talent who proposed to divide the world in history, and his plan was not inferior to Yu Longzhong. Although Zhuge Jin was not a great talent, his son was also the Prime Minister of the Eastern Wu. With these two people, there are now people who can be used. Moreover, both of them are from Jiangbei and have little deep foundation in Jiangdong. They also need to rely on Sun Quan's power and trust, which is the most suitable thing to win over. So Sun Quan went over and helped the two up personally.

"Two, according to my plan, can we achieve the purpose of pacifying Shanyue, Jiaozhou and Southwest Yi within five years?"

"I think it's okay."

"I think it's okay, too."

What was Sun Quan's plan? In fact, it was to first copy some ethnic policies, such as: in front of Hanlu, all ethnic groups are equal; the chief of the Shanyue tribe served as the nominal chief of various places, proclaiming autonomy; respecting the unique customs and customs of the people of all ethnic groups, etc. In terms of economy and culture, people were sent to assist the leaders of all ethnic groups to teach Shanyue people to farm, weave cloth, collect herbs, hunt, do business, etc., and also open schools to teach Shanyue people to know Chinese characters and understand Han rituals, and let Shanyue men join the army, which was consistent with the Han army and treated equally. Of course, the premise was that Shanyue people must enter Jiangdong's household registration and migrate from the mountain to the designated area for farming.

In terms of political governance, the heads of tribes of various tribes are the heads of local governments in various places. However, in fact, for example, in a county, the county magistrate is the former head of Yamatsu or the leader of the tribe, but the tax department responsible for taxes, money and grain, the police department responsible for public security, the civil affairs department responsible for civil affairs, the judge responsible for case determination, the propaganda department responsible for education and publicity, and there is also a deputy county magistrate to assist in the governance. The directors of these departments report to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate is actually just a listing. This kind of local decentralization and governance was also copied by Sun Quan to promote it nationwide in the future, so he will do experiments in Shanyue first.

The means to conquer Shanyue are, first, conquering by force, which is not necessary. Second, after conquering and educating some Shanyue tribes, they mainly use these Shanyue people to persuade and win over more Shanyue tribes. For those who are stubborn, they will solve the problem with force. This will be much faster. The effect of simple force attacks will definitely be far worse. Moreover, after training enough Shanyue troops, Shanyue people will conquer Shanyue people and use barbarians to control barbarians. This effect is better than that of Han people in battle.

"Simply put, our policy is mainly to conquer by force; to ideological education and propaganda, economic and cultural assistance, and to grasp both, and to be strong." Sun Quan copied another classic.

"Lord, I have another question. How can this army be trained by the Shanyue people against the Shanyue people? I am afraid it will be difficult to control it." Lu Su raised a military question.

"Zi Jing, this question is good. First of all, we have a great reward against Shanyue people who have made great achievements. Secondly, the commanders in this army must be our Han people, and their families must live in areas we control. In addition, my unique military training methods and military organization are definitely fine." Sun Quan smiled and said, "Zi Jing, Zi Yu, I will take you to see the new type of army I formed later. After you understand, you will know. Go to the martial arts hall, and you will know it when you get there. When you manage Shanyue, your subordinates will be sent to you from the martial arts hall."

"Martial Arts Hall, lord, I have heard people say that this is the place where the lord trains his own army." Zhuge Jin said: "Is there anything else besides training troops?"

"You are both my confidants. You have seen it and you know it, but you must keep it confidential to outsiders. It is not yet time to be announced." Sun Quan did not want to become the opposite of the gentry at once: "You two, you also know that the gentry has strong power, and some of my measures may harm the interests of the gentry. You are also from the gentry, so you must know to keep the secrets well, otherwise we will become the enemies of the gentry, and the end of the world will not be far away. My brother was assassinated by them, and the insight is not far away."

"What is the lord going to treat the gentry?" Lu Su and Zhuge Jin were both very concerned, after all, they were both from gentry.

"My idea is this. The gentry cannot completely monopolize talent education and politics. Our talent source must be all citizens. The gentry can own land and wealth, but their servants and tenants must be controlled and cannot control too much powerful force. The army must be controlled by the state. As long as the gentry supports my rule and abides by the law, they will be the pillar of the country. But now they will definitely be reluctant to give up their large number of tenants and political privileges. If they have more tenants, the country's taxes will be less, and their privileges will be more, and the country's laws will be nothing."

"The lord said very much, but he could only slowly think about the gentry. After all, this world is still the gentry. Without the gentry, there are not so many people to govern the world." Lu Su thought more than Zhuge Jin.

"I know this, there is no need to worry too much about talents. I have already had a solution, so I will naturally understand the martial arts lecture hall." When Sun Quan saw that the business was too long and the food was cold, he asked the maid to serve the food again and said, "Zijing, Ziyu, let's have enough food and drink first, and then go to the martial arts lecture hall in the afternoon. Come on, do it!"
