Chapter 1229 Vientiane Update
In the early stage of development, start-up capital is an unavoidable problem.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to obtain start-up capital: one is external plunder, and the other is self-reliance.

The rise of the Anza bandit, which claims to be civilized, depends on the former, while the revival of China depends on the latter.The most typical and controversial ones are scissors and real estate.

There is no such problem right now, and it is much easier for Liu Xie to deal with it.

Now that the direction of development is right, increasing investment is not only necessary, but also profitable.

Just like investing in the construction of Dongting Ship Officer.

Furthermore, the Central Plains aristocratic families and tyrants have a lot of spare money in their hands. If they are not given a way out, they will try their best to buy land or even lend usury to disrupt the economy.Guide them to invest their spare money in technology research and development, which benefits both public and private.

Prior to this, he used the money the queen earned from the weaving workshop to invest in the ship's officers. He had already given them a sample, and now it was time for them to follow up.

Liu Xie explained his thinking to Jushou, indicating that as long as this move is properly controlled, not only will it not cause excessive burdens on counties and counties, but it can also speed up development.

Blocking is worse than sparse.Profit-seeking is the nature of capital, simple prohibition will only make the economy stagnate, and orderly guidance can bring out their value.

Of course, this matter can't be impulsive, and it can't be decided by him, it has to be handled by Situ Mansion.Considering that Liu Ba, the chief minister, is from Lingling and is familiar with the situation in Lingling, it may be the best choice for him to take overall responsibility.

Jushou didn't object anymore.

As a native of Jizhou, he is actually very aware of the importance of business.First, Jizhou has a tradition of emphasizing business, and there are a large number of rich and wealthy merchants in Zhongshan and Changshan; second, the recovery of Jizhou today also benefits from a lot of business.Zhuge Liang's achievements in Handan are so good, which is inseparable from Handan's profound business tradition and Dajian Workshop.

What he is worried about is that the natural conditions of the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River are limited, and whether the development can reach the expected speed, so that the debt can be diluted with the development and will not become a burden.

But he believed in the Son of Heaven, and he also believed in Liu Ba.

Since the emperor wanted to call Liu Ba, a senior minister who is proficient in economics, to preside over this matter, he would not make a hasty decision.As a native of Lingling, Liu Ba would not disregard the interests of his hometown in order to cater to the emperor.

Huan Fan was delighted that his idea coincided with that of the emperor, and excited that a large amount of funds was coming.With money, the four counties in Jingnan developed faster, and Changsha, as the county with the best foundation, undoubtedly benefited the most.

Sikong Zhouzhong personally sits in Changsha. The Liangzhou army's harassment case is coming to an end. Changsha people have received such good news at the same time as they have been wronged. It can be said to be a double blessing.

Yu Fan did not object either. He also hoped that the four counties in Jingnan could develop rapidly, proving that Jiangnan had the same economic potential as the Central Plains.

Although the three had different goals, they reached the same conclusion.

Liu Xie then informed Zhang Song of this decision and asked him to inform Situ Mansion.

Zhang Song expressed partial support for Liu Xie's point of view.

It is of course a good thing for the Situ Mansion to coordinate from the imperial court to encourage large households from the Central Plains and Guanzhong to invest, and help the counties in the south of the Yangtze River to develop, while also sharing the dividends from the development, so as to prevent them from causing trouble and disrupting the economy.

But it was neither reasonable nor necessary to assign Liu Ba to take charge of this matter.

Liu Ba is a great minister of farming, and he has the wealth of the world in his hands. How can he be in charge of the four counties in southern Jing?Even if it is necessary to transfer people from Dasinong, one prime minister is enough, but it is better for Liu Ba himself to stay in the central dispatching center.

Furthermore, just because Liu Ba is from Lingling, he is not suitable to be directly responsible for the affairs of Jingnan, so as not to give people the suspicion of false public affairs for personal gain.

After weighing repeatedly, Liu Xie felt that what Zhang Song said made sense.

In addition to the two reasons Zhang Song mentioned, he directly interfered too much with Situ and Sikong, and it was easy to cause conflicts.

Of course, he knew Zhang Song's thoughts better.

There is no need to use Da Si Nong himself for this matter, it is enough to have him as Situ Zuo Changshi.

After adjustment, Liu Xie handed over this task to Zhang Song, and called a meeting of Huan Fan, Du Ji and others, hoping that they could cooperate with Zhang Song and not bring their personal emotions to work and affect official affairs.

Zhang Song is ugly, but he is arrogant and talented, so he doesn't have a good relationship with his colleagues.

The emperor personally took care of it and involved government affairs, and everyone agreed.

Zhang Song started his work immediately, first sorting out and analyzing the top plans of the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

-

The government affairs were handed over to Zhang Song and others, and Liu Xie readjusted his focus to the military.

He assigned an important task to the martial arts hall: to redraw the map.

The importance of geography to the military is self-evident, especially in the mountainous and watery terrain of the south of the Yangtze River, it is difficult to move an inch without a map.There is a drawing class in the lecture hall, and all students must have the ability to recognize and read pictures, and there are some who specialize in drawing.

Taking this opportunity to update the old Jiangnan map is also an assessment for the students of the martial arts hall.

In the early Western Han Dynasty, following the style of the Qin Dynasty, the imperial court had already begun to map the south of the Yangtze River, and a defense map was unearthed in Changsha Mawangdui.After the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the rise of Confucianism and the spread of the culture of emphasizing literature over martial arts, map drawing became increasingly sparse, and many maps were based on 200-year-old maps.In addition, Dong Zhuo moved the capital, resulting in the loss of a large number of maps, and now the imperial court does not have a complete set of maps.

No matter from which point of view, it is necessary to draw a new set of pictures.

This project is huge, and Yu Fan estimates that it will take several years to complete. He suggested that the task be broken down and the troops stationed in various places cooperate to reduce the burden on the lecture hall.

After all, the task of the martial arts hall is to train generals, and it cannot be arranged to make maps.

Therefore, the deployment of garrisons in various places has become the first task to bear the brunt.

The world will be settled, and the plan for garrisoning troops in various places can enter the implementation stage.Before the Western Expedition, it will run for a few years, and there is still time to adjust if there are problems, so as not to leave structural problems.

This matter does not need to go through Situ and Sikong, Liu Xie can handle it by himself.

After Taiwei Jia Xu received the edict, he quickly published a memorial, and attached the draft of the garrison in various places.

Before adjusting the garrison, he suggested first adjusting the state boundaries, and then stationing troops in the state as a unit. The military power and the supervisory power are combined into one, so that the army can become the military backing for the governor to exercise the supervisory power.

In order to achieve this, the division of the thirteen states is obviously too rough.

Some states are so large that subdivisions are necessary.

For example, Liangzhou can be divided into at least three states, and Yizhou and Jiaozhou can be divided into two or three states.

This idea is not unique today. Liu Xie had such a plan when he was patrolling Liangzhou.Even as early as the first year of Chuping, the imperial court merged part of Liangzhou with Guanzhong and designated it as Yongzhou.

It’s just that the situation was too chaotic at that time, there were frequent coups, and government orders were changed day and night. This adjustment did not cause much repercussions, and many people didn’t even have the concept.

Now that the world is peaceful, this matter can finally be seriously considered.

After discussing with Jia Xu and Yang Fu, Liu Xie held an enlarged meeting, and all the accompanying Sanqi, Shizhong, Shangshu and other officials attended to discuss the adjustment of the state border, the arrangement of the garrison, and the selection of generals.
