Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 74 072, the establishment of Jinfengwei

In fact, now that Liu Bei is the governor of the state, he can recognize Chen Yuan and Gu Yong as prefects.

There are seven prefects in the seven counties of Jingzhou.

However, let's not say that the prefects of these counties are all doing it now.

Even if no one does it, Chen Yuan does not suggest that Liu Bei accept his fate as the prefect now.

One is that there are not enough people, and the other is that this will disperse Liu Bei's strength.

According to Chen Yuan's plan, starting from Xiangyang, he was the first to win Nanjun.

Afterwards, with Nanjun as the foundation, first go to level up the four Jingnan counties.

At this moment, Chen Yuan realized that he had made a mistake.

He originally thought that the four counties in Jingnan didn't shit, so the population must not be large.

However, he only now knows that among the four Jingnan counties, Changsha and Lingling counties each have a population of more than 100 million, adding up to more than 200 million.

Compared with Nanjun, there are much more.

The current population of Nanjun is only about 70.

The four counties in Jingnan must be taken down first, and the four counties in Jingnan must be taken down. By then, the population under Liu Bei's rule will be three to four million.

With a population of 400 million and [-] troops, the pressure is not too great.

[-] troops are enough to take down Jiangxia and Nanyang, all they need is a horizontal push.

Once Nanyang and Jiangxia are included in the bag, the population under Liu Bei's rule should be around 700 million.

Population is the bottom line.

As long as Liu Bei can feed 700 million people and raise them well, pushing the world across the world is not a dream.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Yuan actively asked Liu Bei to choose Jingzhou.

Because Jingzhou was less affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population loss was less than other states.

Moreover, there will definitely be a large number of refugees from the Central Plains and Guanzhong who will come to Jingzhou. The population of tens of millions is not a dream.

With a population of 1000 million, it is not too easy to have three or four hundred thousand soldiers.

At that time, it is really, to ask who is the opponent in the world.

At this time, Guan Yu and the others also came in, had screened 3 people, and came to report to Liu Bei.

Among the 3 people, more than 2000 people had the blood of the common people on their hands, and these 2000 people were also Zhang Hu's confidantes.

Liu Bei is about to issue an order to cut off these 2000 people as a warning to others.

But Chen Yuan suddenly stopped Liu Bei.

"My lord, wait a minute."

Liu Bei looked at Chen Yuan, a little puzzled: "What does Zichu mean?"

At this time, Chen Yuan suddenly discovered that these 2000 people are also useful.

Rather than cutting them down, it is better to let them go to reform through labor.

For example, building roads and digging rivers, cutting wood, and building cities.

Generally speaking, it is to do coolies and use them to death.

Chen Yuan told Liu Bei what he meant, and Liu Bei thought, yes.

It's not a pity that these people died.

And the best candidate for this job is Zhang Fei and Mr. Zhang.

When Chen Yuan told Zhang Fei about it, Zhang Fei immediately smiled.

You know, Mr. Zhang hasn't whipped a soldier for a long time since he was punished by Liu Bei for whipping a soldier last time.

How can Zhang Fei be unhappy now that he has a fair opportunity.

Zhang Fei took over the task happily, and led 200 people to assist Chen Yuan and Gu Yong, becoming the supervisor of the 2000 people.

Out of the 3000 people, the remaining 2 people are poor people.

There are also various sources, some from Jiangxia, some from Xiangyang, and even people from Nanyang and Xinye.

The 5000 strongest were selected and incorporated into the army, and the remaining [-] were transferred to the people of Xiangyang on the spot.

Liu Bei and the others had to worry about the military, and Chen Yuan pulled Gu Yong and Zhang Fei to prepare for mass production.

However, before leaving, Chen Yuan suddenly thought of a problem.

He pulled Liu Bei aside: "Brother, have you noticed that there is something missing in our army?"

Liu Bei was a little stunned: "What?"

Chen Yuan said, "The intelligence department."

Liu Bei was puzzled: "Aren't there scouts?"

Chen Yuan shook his head: "The information obtained by the scouts is too one-sided, not timely and comprehensive enough. The intelligence department I am talking about is an organization that needs to obtain intelligence information from all states, counties, and imperial courts in a timely manner. It requires huge funds and a large number of personnel. And political struggle is very important, so we have to build it as soon as possible.”

Liu Bei was in a dilemma immediately.

Now Liu Bei can be said to have nothing to do, except for the army, he has nothing else, so poor.

Chen Yuan is naturally clear, so Chen Yuan said again: "Brother, now that our strength is limited, we can first target the territory of Jingzhou. I think that among these sect thieves, there are many people from other counties and counties. Pick one or two to be trained as intelligence personnel, and then put them back, as our spies, they will definitely play a very important role in our attack on Jingzhou in the future."

Liu Bei nodded, agreeing to Chen Yuan's suggestion.

"From Zichu's point of view, what should this organization be called, and who is in charge?"

Chen Yuan almost blurted out Jin Yiwei.

However, it was stopped in time.

Because it is not suitable.

In fact, there is an intelligence agency in the Han court, and that is Captain Sili.

Sili Xiaowei not only has surveillance intelligence, but also has intelligence functions.

Sili Xiaowei became Crouching Tiger again, with 1200 Zhongdu officials and apprentices under his command to monitor the world.

It can be regarded as a huge intelligence monitoring agency.

Both Liu Bei and Chen Yuan tacitly did not mention Captain Sili.

Chen Yuan thought for a while, so he should call him Jin Fengwei.

Liu Bei looked puzzled, what does this mean?
"The cicada was aware before the golden wind moved, plotting impermanence and death without knowing it."

"I hope Jinfeng Wei can be like a cicada, and he will be aware of the golden wind before it comes."

Liu Bei nodded: "This name is very good. Do you have any recommendation for the person in charge?"

Chen Yuan thought about it: "The person in charge of Jinfengwei needs to have keen political discrimination, insight into people's hearts, and strategic layout. More importantly, he needs to be someone that the elder brother can absolutely trust. It's a bit difficult to find."

Chen Yuan was a little distressed.

Xi Zhicai and Gu Yong are not suitable, the most suitable person should be Jia Xu or Zhuge Liang, but it is a pity that Jia Xu, this old Yinbi, is now nested in the Xiliang army, and it is basically impossible to recruit him.

As for Zhuge Liang, he is still a young lady, what is he doing here?
Are you bringing up too much?
In fact, Guo Jia is also good, but Guo Jia's family is from the Guo family in Yingchuan, and his whereabouts are secretive. Except for Xun Yu, no one knows where he is, so he can't be recruited.

Chen Yuan couldn't help feeling a little worried, and sighed regretfully.

Liu Bei laughed instead.

"Zi Chu, why are you sighing?"

Chen Yuan said bluntly: "Sigh because there is no suitable candidate for intelligence officer, big brother."

"Oh, I have a candidate, which is very suitable."

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, good guy, since when did this big brother and lord recruit talents behind his back.

Could it be that he is a great talent?
"Brother, tell me, who is it?"
