Since Emperor Wu of Han established the governor of the state to supervise the county magistrates in various places.

The governor who was originally not of high rank gradually became high and powerful.

Later, he directly reached the level of 2,000 stones from the rank of 600 stones.

Although the system of two thousand stones was no longer used since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the county magistrate and the governor were still the most noble symbol of two thousand stones.

When a family uses it to show off their identity, the highest level of bragging is that my ancestors are the "Three Dukes of the XX World".

And the family of "Two Thousand Stones in the Years" is actually no worse than the "Three Dukes in the Years of XX".

"People in the world are proud to be governors. I originally wanted to turn big states into small states and use some land in Huainan to set up prefectures and counties. Wouldn't that be just right?"

Liu Yu said with a smile.

When Gongsun Sheng heard this, he immediately understood.

"Your Majesty means that you want to use the official position in Huainan to get those aristocratic families to contribute money and efforts?"

"Yes, that's what it means. Huainan's land is very fertile, but the population is dominated by refugees. After the Huainan is settled, many refugees will definitely return to the northern Central Plains."

Liu Yu continued slowly.

"And I set up prefectures and counties, which can allow those aristocratic families to store grain and relieve refugees, and secondly, they can also find ways to leave some refugees in Huainan."

"After all, it would be useless if it was just a bare-legged governor."

Huainan will be the base for Liu Yu to go south in the future, so naturally, all those refugees cannot be allowed to return to the north.

In that case, a large amount of military supplies, food, grass and supplies will not be able to be replenished nearby in the future.

"Your Majesty's strategy is very good. It's amazing not only to use the food, grass, money and money of the aristocratic families, but also to use their talents."

As Gongsun Sheng spoke, he suddenly changed his mind.

"However, these aristocratic families have always manipulated local authority. They had to lie dormant because of His Majesty's scholarship selection. Now that they have an official position in Huainan, aren't they afraid that they will rebel?"

"If someone colludes with Jiangdong, it might be a big problem!"

When Liu Yu heard Gongsun Sheng’s concerns, he didn’t care at all.

"How cruel the Huns were, they were destroyed."

"These aristocratic families are nothing more than controlling the prefectures and counties, so they have not fallen for a hundred years. Now, if you give them some officials from Huainan, there will be no big waves at all."

Liu Yu said, just sneering.

"Hmph, even if someone doesn't open his eyes, he dares to raise troops to cause trouble in Huainan, or refuses to obey orders."

"Then even one of their family members who remained in the Central Plains could not escape."

"I don't believe it. I dare anyone to go against me for the sake of Sima's broken ship!"

Gongsun Sheng was still a little worried.

"Your Majesty, people die for money and birds die for food. These gentry and powerful people are all for authority. What if there are crazy people?"

"Haha, that'll make them crazy. The recruitment of soldiers I trained in Luoyang is used to quell the rebellion and fight against the thieves!"

Liu Yu didn't care at all.

In fact, he felt that Gongsun Sheng’s worries were completely redundant.

After the Tuoba Xianbei occupied the north in history, a large number of gentry and powerful men squeezed their heads to become officials and generals for the Northern Wei Dynasty.

You should know that the Northern Wei officials at that time had no salary. If they were the governor of a state, they would be able to make a fortune in the end, which was purely relying on their personal "governance" ability.

To put it bluntly, it means corruption and abuse of power, and looting the people is the right way.

Even if it is such an official position of a robber group, those powerful families still enjoy themselves.

In the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty for more than 100 years, most of the rebellions in various places were refugees, novice monks, Taoists and soldiers. The powerful families in various places actively maintained the order of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

It can be imagined that for these gentry and powerful people, no matter how powerful they are, as long as they can be given official positions, they will be able to rest assured.

What's more, Liu Yu was not afraid of them rebelling.

The soldiers in my hands are not official positions recommended by the powerful families, and they will not care about their friendship.

Liu Yu quickly arranged for his men to arrange the matter.

Previously, a large number of powerful families had not passed the strict academic assessment and were not qualified to be an official.

What's more, the official positions assessed by scholarship are all low- and middle-rank official systems.

How could I be as good as the governor of the state now?

When the land in Jiangbei and Huainan was still on the map.

Liu Yu had already done the slaughter in advance.

Such arrogance almost despises the people in Jiangdong as if nothing had happened.

However, even if Liu Yu is so arrogant.

The ministers in the Jin Dynasty in the south had no time to take care of this matter.

Because, the situation in Jiangnan is really chaotic now.

First, Emperor Sima Rui of the Great Jin Dynasty publicly stated that he would abdicate as the Supreme Emperor and would protect his son Sima Shao ascend the throne in advance.

This incident instantly made everyone at a loss.

As we all know, General Wang Dun has always hated the "heroic" Crown Prince Sima Shao.

All kinds of open and secret moves are all about forcing Sima Rui to depose the crown prince Sima Shao.

I definitely can't agree to this request.

Just as everyone was waiting for Wang Dun of Jingzhou to react in Jiankang.

General Wang Dun, who was far away in Jingzhou, was also a little overwhelmed.

In the mansion of the general in Jingzhou.

General Wang Dun, at this time, no longer had the majesty he usually had.

His face was very bleak.

"The army of Liu Yu in the north must gather south at any time, but the foolish emperor of Jiankang is still playing such a trick with someone."

“It’s so stupid!”

Two days ago, Wang Dun heard about the news that the Han army in the north was about to move.

Then, I learned that Sima Rui wanted to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor.

Wang Dun was almost angry at this stupid operation.

"Where will you stay with me if you don't have any hair? Your Majesty only wanted to pave the way for the prince, but he didn't expect that even the Jin family ancestral temple in Jiangdong will not be kept in the future, so what's the need to pave the way."

Qian Feng, the chief of the General's Mansion, said with disdain.

'Yes, although I don't like Sima Shao's children in my heart, there may be a large army at any time now, and I also know that we should work together to resist foreign enemies. How can we be so suspicious of each other!'

Wang Dun said, asking Shen Chong, the military officer next to him.

"If the Northern Army goes south, Shiju feels that we are sure to defend Huainan?"

As a rich man from Jiangdong, Shen Chong was very familiar with Huainan, which was separated by a river.

When Sun Quan, the King of Wu of the Great Wei Dynasty, attacked Hefei in the north, several of his generals were the children of the Shen family in Wuxing.

The Shen family has an exclusive approach to the military situation in Huainan.

"Return to the general, in my opinion, just by the people of Jiankang, if you want to defend Huainan, you may not even have 10% of the confidence!" Shen Chong said without hesitation.

Wang Dun frowned.

"Not even sure?"

"When Huainan is lost, wouldn't it be separated from Jiankang?"

Chen Chong shook his head and said when he heard this.

"Then what can I do? As long as the Northern Army is under the pressure of the army in Huainan, no one in Jiangdong will dare to cross the river."

"It's not that they are afraid of Liu Yu in the north, but that no one is willing to die for the Jinshi."

When Wang Dun heard this, he looked puzzled.

As a member of the powerful family in Jiangdong for hundreds of years, Chen Chong's subordinates and subordinates all have a wide connection and various news is continuous.

Since he said that the people in Jiangdong had lost confidence, it was probably true.

"Shiju, how did you know that no one in Jiangdong is willing to be loyal to the Jin family again?" Wang Dun asked hurriedly.

Although he and Sima Rui and his son had long regarded them as enemies, Wang Dun also knew that his identity was blessed by the "high-ranking officials".

If the brand of "Jinshi" is here, then he, the general, and the governor of Jingzhou, will basically end up being the end.

"Ming Gong, you may not know that the news came from the north was that Liu Yu planned to set up more than a dozen states after occupying the land of Huainan, and to place refugees and to appoint the children of the powerful and powerful gentry in the north as governors."

"How is this possible?" Wang Dun looked disbelieving.
