Chapter 350 Inner Sage and Outer King Liu Xuande

In Liangzhou, Liu Bei's rule was to process the captured prisoners of war in batches, all the men were pulled to do hard labor, and the women of the right age stayed to give birth to children to increase the population.

This seemingly completely inhumane approach was exaggerated by Liu Bei as an act of benevolence and righteousness, and he still has a complete set of logic for this.

Because Xianbei people don't pay taxes to me, but Liangzhou people pay taxes to me, so there is no need to follow the rules when dealing with Xianbei people, but you need to follow rules when dealing with Liangzhou people.

I will do my best to create a better living environment for the registered citizens who pay my taxes. The government must consider their feelings in everything, treat them with benevolence and righteousness, implement benevolent governance, and be more reasonable and less disputed.

Because the government is using their money for development, and the salaries that officials in the government get come from the taxes they pay. Everyone should have this awareness of who takes the money and works for whom.

Enemies who don't pay me taxes and want to destroy my tax base...

Do you dare to destroy my basic disk?

Do you dare to steal my money?
Excuse me, then I have to invite you to serve me and my taxpayers.

To deal with them, a whole new set of methods can be adopted, which basically does not involve any internal laws and regulations of Liangzhou, so how efficient it can be.

Liu Bei set a tone for this style of conduct, calling it "Sage Inside and King Outside", and it was widely publicized.

Inside, the way of sages and sages is used as the program of governing the world, and benevolent government is the highest pursuit.

Externally, it is necessary to promote the kingly way, the kingly way of combining hardness and softness, use both suppression and appeasement, and never promise not to use force to solve problems.

As a result, a large number of prisoners of war took on a large number of corvee-related tasks that would have required the government to enlist the people to do.

As a result, farmers who are under heavy living pressure have obtained very direct benefits.

The corvee on them has been replaced, and they don't have to serve corvee for the time being. All the government projects have been done by people, and they have a lot of free time, so they can rest, or cultivate intensively to increase food production.

And the government doesn't need to pay anything.

Regarding the prisoners of war doing hard work, Liu Bei's rule is to give them enough food to eat, to ensure that they will not die, and to maintain this level, nothing else needs to be paid.

The rest is supervision, so that they can work for the Liangzhou state government for as long as possible, and don't die so fast, and wipe out everyone's misfortune, which is not a good thing for Liangzhou.

We want to take the road of sustainable depletion.

In this way, more and more farmers in Liangzhou can give birth and have children with peace of mind without having to serve corvee.

For them, this is a great benevolent government, and it is also a kind of sharing of development achievements. The sharp social conflicts in Liangzhou have been eased in an instant, and it is still a great ease.

It can be said that everyone in Liangzhou, from officials to civilians, has repeatedly praised this, thinking that this set of practices of inner sages and outer kings is really suitable for the big man, and it should be continued and widely promoted, so that the The world is governed.

In Liangzhou Prefecture, the ruling team headed by Liu Bei has accumulated a great reputation among the people of Liangzhou, and has a very high degree of credibility. Even old farmers who don't know a lot of characters mention "Liu Shijun" and "General Liu" , That is also a compliment, nodding again and again.

This extremely high degree of credibility has greatly reduced the administrative costs of Liu Bei's ruling team working in Liangzhou.

According to Xun You's observation, the administrative work of the Liangzhou state capital has entered a positive cycle.

Even such things as encouraging childbirth and the payment of tax by the government on behalf of the government, Liu Bei's ruling team was able to promote it in Liangzhou with perseverance, so that farmers accepted it, thus basically solving the problem of abandonment in Liangzhou. baby problem.

It can be seen that its team's ability to handle affairs and its credibility in Liangzhou.

Many serious and unsolvable problems in the Central Plains have been solved in Liangzhou, and it seems that Liu Bei's ruling team is able to handle it with ease.

They can still do a lot of things, and they can do more things. They are still ambitiously planning more things to make Liangzhou better.

Although many of the things they have accomplished are unimaginable elsewhere.

Xun You, who witnessed all this, couldn't help but wonder, if one day, Liu Bei can govern in Luoyang with the same spirit, will he be able to solve all the similar problems in the whole world, making this mud-footed giant who is full of ills and dying How about getting back on your feet with a new lease of life?
It should be ok?

The broken Liangzhou has stood up again, and there is no broken man, can't it?

Once this thought appeared, it could never be erased from Xun You's heart.

Liu Bei didn't know how these subordinates viewed him and his style of conduct. His will was very firm and he moved forward without any hesitation or confusion.

But he's a little free right now.

Yes, he's a little off.

Liangzhou State School will not start until next year, which is the first day of February in the fifth year of Zhongping. Now it is November in the fourth year of Zhongping, and there are still more than two months. It is a bit wasteful to use it all for preparations , Other work is also being promoted step by step.

Because the work was allocated quite well and the plan was formulated so well that Liu Bei, the leader and controller, didn't even have much to do during this period of time.

The subordinates are used to his work style, and they have been educated very well by him. Everyone is doing things honestly, and they don't dare to play tricks. They are very efficient and self-contained.

The most chaotic period in Liangzhou has passed, the new system has been established in Liangzhou, everything is in order, and there is not much room left for Liu Bei to toss and turn.

So Liu Bei was actually free.

From the second half of the year, Liu Bei found that he could finish his daily work and leave a lot of free time.

There were days when he even had a whole day's work done in one morning, and the whole afternoon was free, with no more work coming, and he did whatever he wanted.

The opposite is a constantly busy bureaucracy.

Is it because I was emptied or for some other reason?
He thought about it, walked around for a while, and felt that the problem did not lie in this.

The problem is that Liangzhou is too small.

Yes, in the final analysis, Liangzhou is small and has a small population. It is said that it is a big development and construction, and it is just a few things. It seems big and complicated, but it can be viewed from a different angle.

Under the constraints of traffic, productivity and time, although there are many things they need to do, the objective progress of things every day is extremely limited, and the responses they need to make are also limited.

You can't be idealistic in matters of development, it's not as fast as Liu Bei says.

The development of things always has its objective laws. No matter how fast a thing is from decision-making to implementation to effective results, it will take time. The dealer is not built in a day, and the road is not built in a day. If the time is not enough, it will not be seen Effect.

If there is no new change, the state officials have nothing new to do, and Liu Bei has nothing new to do, so they have to wait, wait until things have progressed to the point where they need to intervene, and then react.

There are only so many things that can be done, and when it is done, it is over.

So Liu Bei realized that the actual capabilities of him and his ruling team had exceeded the ceiling of Liangzhou's development speed at this stage.

The political capacity of the brand-new political team he built is already full and overflowing.

This is an interesting phenomenon.

This proves that his team has preliminarily possessed the ability to go beyond the scope of Liangzhou and expand the scope of governance, which is undoubtedly a good thing for him.

Because in the next step, he intends to integrate Sansuke and Mihe Land, his team began to have stronger political capabilities, which will help him in his future actions.

Although it's a bit tedious.

But this just proves that his decision-making is correct and what he is doing is also correct, so his political team has achieved transcendental growth so quickly.

Just be free, anyway, it's only a period of time, it's good to have a good rest, in the days to come, it's impossible to think so leisurely.

And just when Liu Bei thought this way and was preparing to spend a leisurely time, things happened to come to him.

On the first day of November, Longxi County came to the military newspaper.

After the Xianling Qiang rebels from Beidi County were expelled from Longxi County by Dong Zhuo during the previous Liangzhou War, they did not know how to form an alliance with Shenlang Qiang and Baima Qiang.

The three tribes joined together to form a coalition army, and tens of thousands of people invaded Longxi County together.
