Chapter 32 The Four Counties of Nanzhong (Please read more!)
That night.

The bright moon hangs high, and the starry sky is bright.

Tables of exquisite dishes and delicate wine permeate the atmosphere of the banquet.

All kinds of fine wines were served on the banquet table, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing.In the wine cup, sparkling wine bubbles appeared, and the soft "boom" sound also came out, making people salivate involuntarily.

Dishes are the highlight of the banquet.

Delicious cooked food is constantly on the table, including steamed sea bass, braised pork, delicious vegetables, etc., and each dish is carefully selected.

The freshness of the ingredients and the cooking skills are even more amazing.Every dish exudes a strong aroma, which makes people appetite.

Many of the subordinate staff of the Yanfu school lieutenant hadn't tasted alcohol for months, and now they were drinking heavily while thanking Liu Chan for his kindness.

In the center of the night banquet, Liu Chan was good at dancing with his long sleeves. He pulled the officials and powerful men of Shu County to drink fine wine. In a few words, he persuaded the powerful to donate their family wealth and reinforce Hanzhong.

Correspondingly, Liu Chan let [-] strong and powerful children from Shu County join the Wuyi Cong.

Politics has always been about exchange.

The so-called night banquet is a rare opportunity for low-level officials to break the precepts, but for powerful officials, it is just a place to discuss business.

Chengdu.

Prince's Mansion.

Liu Chan got up from the bed, and immediately there was a glamorous and beautiful maid who came to wash up.

It has been three days since I came back from Shu County.

Liu Chan spent a few days, first to increase the production of the salt well, and then to suggest to Captain Si Tie to improve the forging method, which made the speed of forging weapons and farm tools much faster for Captain Si Tie.

Leaving Chengdu for a few days is also to dispose of the documents and memorials left behind in Chengdu that have accumulated for a few days.

After washing up, I had a simple breakfast.

Liu Chan did morning exercises with the second-term students of the Jiangwu Hall in the school grounds of the Young Master's Mansion. Afterwards, he packed up his luggage, wiped his body, changed into an official robe, and headed towards the Yamen of the State Shepherd's Mansion.

In the government office, Xu Jing, Liu Ba, Wu Yi, Dong He and others have been waiting respectfully for a long time.

Liu Chan is in charge of staying in Chengdu, which is equivalent to being a prince supervising the country. Now that he is still young, in fact, he does not need to come to the government office every day to ask questions, and the affairs can be handled by the officials.

of course
You don't have to come, but Liu Chan will not stop coming, at least every few days to come over to ask about political affairs.

Its purpose is firstly to learn how to manage politics, and secondly to make a good impression on officials.

"I'll wait to see the young master."

When Liu Chan arrived at the government office, dozens of officials in the government office paid homage to Liu Chan.

Among the dozens of officials, these are the main ones.

Dong He was mainly responsible for supervising food and grass in various places, Wu Yi was in charge of Chengdu's defense, Liu Ba was in charge of Shu County's official affairs, and Xu Jing was in charge of civil affairs.

In addition, there are other subordinate officials in Yizhou.

Cheng Ji and He Zong are engaged in offering sacrifices to wine, Gong Lu is engaged in Yizhou, Yamen Jiang and Li Hui are meritorious officers and are in charge of personnel affairs.

A gathering of heroes, a meeting of carrots.

Even Liu Bei brought most of the talents from General Zuo's Mansion to Hanzhong.

For example, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Pang Yi, Yiji, Jianyong, Mizhu and others are not in Chengdu now.

But these courtiers staying in Chengdu are not incompetent.

"You don't need to be too polite. Although Zen is left behind in Chengdu, he is still young. When he is in charge of the government, he mostly studies it."

"My lord, you don't have to be humble. It's not the first day I know you, my lord."

Gongcao Li Hui hurriedly stepped forward to agree.

The rest also nodded.

Liu Chan has also dealt with a lot of political affairs in the past month. His style of acting is not like that of a young man, but like that of an old official. He has profound and unique insights.

"General Zhonglang in charge of the army, bring me the documents related to food and grass from various places in the past few days."

Dong He's official position is the general in charge of the army, and he is in charge of the left general's affairs together with Zhuge Liang. He is equivalent to Zhuge Liang's assistant. He is the most core official of Liu Bei's central government.

"Young master, please take a look."

Liu Chan sat on the main seat, and Dong He placed a scroll of bamboo slips in front of Liu Chan.

This is the amount of grain and grass that he has collected and recorded in various counties and counties.

If it is not dealt with in advance, what is placed in front of Liu Chan's case is not just a bamboo slip, but a large stack of bamboo slips.

Unfolding the bamboo slips, Liu Chan carefully read the contents of the bamboo slips.

It didn't take long before his brows were tightly wrinkled together.

Dong He was preparing words in his mind, thinking about how to explain the key points to Liu Chan, but he didn't want Liu Chan to look at Liu Ba and Xu Jing instead of asking questions on the spot after reading the bamboo slips.

"Liu Gong, Xu Gong, do you have a general report on government affairs and civil affairs?"

"The old minister has it here."

Xu Jing brought up the important civil affairs to be reported.

It is about food collection, conscription and aftermath.

"General Zuo Shi is very experienced in dealing with the aftermath. I have nothing else to add, so I will follow what Chang Shi said and carry on."

Although Xu Jing was not liked by Liu Bei, there is no one worthy of his fame.

As the person with the highest official position in Yizhou except Liu Bei, Xu Jing's ability to handle affairs is beyond doubt.

"promise."

Xu Jing's feelings for Liu Chan are very complicated. He said he was the lord, and he had Liu Bei on his head, and he said he was a student, but how could he be qualified to be Liu Chan's teacher?

Although he was originally the commander-in-chief of General Zuo, No. 1 under Liu Bei in name, but he had no real power, so he was in charge of writing documents and receiving talents.

It was Liu Chan who left behind in Chengdu and handed over the affairs of Yizhou civil affairs to him.

This can be described as the grace of knowing you!
After dealing with personnel and defense matters, Liu Chan glanced at Dong He before finally speaking.

"General Zhonglang, it seems that the amount of grain and grass collected is out of line!"

Liu Chan's face was calm, but everyone could feel Liu Chan's anger.

"The supply of grain and grass in the four counties of Nanzhong is getting scarcer. Last month, each county sent [-] shi. Now the four counties of Nanzhong together don't have [-] shi. There must be tricks in it!"

Dong He had been prepared for a long time, he stepped forward to bow to Liu Chan, and said: "Most of the Duoyi people in the four counties of Nanzhong have not registered permanent residence. Even if they have registered permanent residence, it is difficult to collect taxes, and the people are also poor. In addition, it is normal for the local tyrants to be obedient and oppressive, and it is useless to supply less than [-] shi of grain and grass."

Xu Jing was also afraid that Liu Chan's impulsiveness would disturb the overall situation, and said: "Nowadays, the tax on salt and iron has doubled, the powerful and wealthy have donated a lot of military funds, and the situation in Hanzhong is gradually stabilizing, so the four counties of Nanzhong do not supply food and grass. It’s not impossible.”

"Everyone's thoughts, Zen knows and knows."

Dong, Xu Jing and others naturally knew that the four counties in Nanzhong were not convinced by Wang Hua.

But now is a special moment.

Hanzhong is at war!

If there is chaos in the rear and there is no quick suppression, threatening the safety of Chengdu and putting Chengdu at risk of insecurity, can the soldiers fighting in Hanzhong still have the intention to stay in Hanzhong?
My wife and children are in Chengdu, you let me die in Hanzhong?
Then
The current good situation may disappear.

But Liu Chan's thinking is different from theirs!
Nanzhong four counties refused to accept Wang Hua?

Then hit him until he is convinced!
