Chapter 449
As soon as Liu Jing met, he gave the Jingzhou officials a note of majesty, claiming that he would no longer suspend the sentence and relax the ban in the future, but would force him to be punished by law.

If you want to achieve great things in troubled times, you must be this "wicked person". Take the Three Kingdoms as an example:

According to historical records, Cao Cao's "spells of application and business" emphasized that "the husband's punishment is the life of the common people", "the rule of law should be led by etiquette, and the rule of chaos should be preceded by punishment." Edict law, Qi Dahua also."

When Zhuge Liang was in power, it was said in history: "Science and education are strict, rewards and punishments must be trusted, no crime is not punished, and no good is not shown."

As for Soochow, the more than [-] Wu bamboo slips unearthed in Changsha later greatly restored the political system of Soochow. Its heavy taxes and severe criminal laws are simply shocking.

The three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu were able to stand out in the chaotic and chaotic late Han Dynasty and establish an imperial career. Emphasis on the law is an indispensable reason.

Liu Biao and Liu Zhang are the negative teaching materials. Because of their "prestige and punishment", the scholars and the people are self-indulgent, and the monarch and his subjects cannot be of the same mind. Great work.

But you can't just use power blindly. The way to govern is to apply grace and power together.So then Liu Jing changed into another face, comforting and encouraging the officials in Jingzhou with gentle words.

After that, Liu Jing began to issue government orders. First, he ordered Jiang Wan, the chief secretary, and Wang Can of Dongcao, to draft a notice to calm the people.

At the same time, it was spread to the counties of Nanyang, Zhangling, and Jiangxia, announcing that Jingzhou had changed hands.

Wang Can's talent is overwhelming, his literary talent is superb, and he is not humble, so he writes in one stroke.

Standing aside, Jiang Wan couldn't get his hands in at all, looking at the lavishly written and impeccably written documents, Jiang Wan was amazed in his heart, Wang Can of Xin Dao was famous for his literary talent, it was true.

After Liu Jing read it, he was also amazed. There is a saying, "You can't add a word, and you can't subtract a word." Wang Can's article is probably to this extent.

Liu Jing's second decree was to merge hundreds of officials from Liu Biao's Zhennan General's Mansion into his Anyuan General's Mansion.

Liu Jing was unable to serve as the shepherd of Jingzhou due to the rules of the "Three Mutual Laws". In the future, General Anyuan's Mansion will be the political center of Jingzhou.

Logically speaking, the Jingzhou State Department should also be incorporated into it, but the State Department is the governing body of a state, and Jingzhou counties and counties are all subject to its transfer orders.Now that Jingzhou is initially settled, Liu Jing still has to rely on the state department to stabilize the place, so he decided to postpone the merger of the state department.

Liu Jing is not worried that he will not be able to control the state department. Don't worry that Liu Xian, the "half governor", is his fellow Jingnan, and he is considered half of his own.Liu Biao's confidantes, such as the chief secretary Kuai Liang and Zhizhong Pang Ji, have all left their posts. He only needs to install one or two people into the state department to serve as the chief secretary and Zhizhong, and he can completely control the state department.

In terms of candidates, Liu Jing already had a plan in mind, and he planned to transfer the right chief, Shi Huanjie, from Changsha to take up the post of Zhizhong.

The chief bookkeeper is Yi Xianglang. Xiang Lang is not only outstanding in talent, but also has a background in Xiangyang. Reusing Xiang Lang is tantamount to telling the people of Xiangyang that he employs people regardless of their closeness and relatives, and only uses talents.

Afterwards, Liu Jing issued several decrees in a row, and it was not until nightfall that the court meeting came to an end.

Liu Jing came out of the main hall, turned in and sat down. At this time, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Jiang Wan and others were busy counting household registration, warehouses, and warehouses.

Among the four counties in northern Jingbei, Nan County has the largest household registration, with nearly 50 households and a population of 20.Next is Jiangxia County, with [-] households and a population of [-].Nanyang County and Zhangling County ranked third and fourth, each with [-] households and a population of more than [-]. The total population of the four Jingbei counties is nearly one million.

In the four counties of Jingnan, there are more than 16 households and a population of 92. The total population of Jingzhou is about 190 million.

It looks like a lot, but in fact it is not as large as the population of Nanyang County in the past. Compared with the heyday of Jingzhou, the population has dropped by more than two-thirds. The destructive power of the troubled times can be seen from this.If Jingzhou in the south is like this, it is not difficult to imagine the tragedy of the Central Plains.

Of course, the calculation here is only the registered population of Jingzhou. In fact, there are still a large number of floating households, hidden households, and Jingman in Jingzhou.

Liu Jing was in Jingnan, and he had repeatedly lured Jingman out of the mountain for several years, and it was very effective. Currently, there are nearly [-] Jingman tribesmen under his rule.

As for the tens of thousands of households in Guanzhong living in Nanyang, Liu Jing also has a plan to incorporate them.

In contrast, Liu Jing, a hermit who is attached to a wealthy family and does not pay taxes, is powerless. Even if he has become the lord of Jingzhou, he dare not touch this "landmine" that can easily blow him to pieces.

In a troubled world, a separatist force with external pressure has no conditions to track down hidden households. If it is forced to do so, it will be tantamount to burning itself and destroying itself.

In history, the registered population of Wei, Shu, and Wu was less than 800 million, which is a big joke in the world. As a result, not long after the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, the population doubled out of thin air.

This shows what?
This shows that even if a hero is like Cao Cao and a wise man is like Zhuge Liang, he is also helpless in the face of the problem of hermits.

Only a unified emerging regime can suppress all opposing voices, and implement land surveying and case comparison, that is, land measurement and household registration verification.

At the beginning of the establishment of this dynasty, the ancestor Guangwu killed more than a dozen prefects at one go in order to check the land and population, which caused rebellion all over the world, especially the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, and Ji. A group of thieves attacked and robbed official temples and killed senior officials.

Seeing the chaos in the world, Shizu Guangwu had no choice but to change his tough attitude, and used both leniency and fierceness, appeasement and suppression to quell the riot caused by Dutian.

In short, Liu Jing does not plan to touch the "landmine" of Yinhu for the time being. Let's talk about this matter after he dominates the world.

Liu Jing then picked up the warehouse account and looked through it. Seeing that the figures on it were far lower than expected, Liu Jing couldn't help frowning.

In history, Liu Biao dominated Jingzhou, known as "there are hundreds of thousands of people, and the valley of wealth is like a mountain". Because of the appearance of Liu Jing in this time and space, Liu Biao captured Jingnan and hoped to unify Jingzhou. , Losing teachers and losing ground, cost more than billions?
Therefore, Liu Jing didn't have any hope for Jingzhou's wealth valley at all, but looking at the pitiful figures on the book, he was still speechless. This amount of money and food would be enough to reward the soldiers, and then what?Do you drink Mistral?

He couldn't help but doubt whether Liu Cong had quietly transferred the money and food in the warehouse.
