Chapter 332: Compiling agricultural books and developing Nanzhong!
As soon as Liu Chan said these words, the ministers in Taichung looked at each other in shock, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

Finally, Xu Jing, who was still full of silver hair and skin like old tree bark, stepped forward and said: "Your Highness's plan is indeed a good strategy for governing the country. However, within a short time, the slave matter still cannot be finalized. Badi and Nanzhong do have There are many barbarians, but within a short period of time, they were unable to send slaves to Jingzhou or Chengdu.”

Xu Jing's meaning was very clear.

There are indeed barbarians in Badi and Nanzhong.

But I’m not catching it now!

Liu Chan chuckled and said: "As long as there is demand, there will naturally be slave-catching teams. The difference is that the current price of slaves cannot make those people do the work of catching slaves."

Marx once said, "If there is 100% profit, the capitalists will take desperate risks; if there is 200% profit, the capitalists will flout the law; if there is 300% profit, then the capitalists will trample everything in the world!"

As long as the price of slaves can double or triple the profits of the slave-catching team, then these difficulties are not difficulties.

And once this reward policy continues, there will undoubtedly be a higher price for slaves!

Liu Chan's strategy was very novel, and everyone remained silent after hearing it.

Basically, I already agree with Liu Chan's theory.

Many people from the Yizhou faction, who are from local powerful families, or who have some family backgrounds, or some servants, have already begun to make silent calculations.

Perhaps, my family can send a slave-catching team to Badi, or to the south of Nanzhong, to capture and buy slaves.

After this, it will be a hugely profitable business!

Fazheng looked at the changes in the expressions of the people around him and knew that the matter had been finalized.

"It will be an auspicious day in three days. Your Highness may wish to offer sacrifices to the heavens to inform the heavens, and at the same time proceed with the reward matter."

sacrifice to heaven?

This should be what Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, should do.

Liu Chan had a look of hesitation on his face.

"I'd better leave it to my father to sacrifice to heaven. If I go, I'll be overstepping the rules."

Fazheng smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, has informed me of this matter and asked His Highness to be responsible for this matter of offering sacrifices to heaven."

After hearing Fazheng's words, the expressions of the officials in the hall were not much surprised.

Most people's expressions show the same expression as before.

If it were them, with a son with such a long face, he would be the one to inherit this great cause.

"If that's the case, then I'll agree."

In this era, there is still a lot of respect for God, ghosts and gods. Liu Chan worshiped God instead of Liu Bei, and he also expressed to God that the successor after Han Dynasty would be his Liu Gongsi.

Explaining this matter to God will be a warning to the Chinese people of Han Dynasty. The ministers and generals will once again emphasize that your future master is the current Crown Prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gongsi!

From now on, no matter in law or in fact, Liu Chan is the heir without any controversy, and even Liu Bei cannot change him if he wants to.

Seeing Liu Chan agreeing, Fazheng was obviously relieved. If His Highness did not agree, he would have to deal with both sides again.

Being kicked around like a ball was not an easy task for him as a minister.

"Now that the reward has been decided, let's talk about the agricultural book."

Liu Chan has a resolute character and has no intention of procrastinating.

Moreover, he knew early on what Han China was going to solve now, and he had already thought of countermeasures in his mind.

"The compilation of agricultural books is a matter of great importance. Someone with high moral character and respect must be sent to compile it."

With a smile on his face, Xu Jing stepped forward and saluted Liu Chan.

Respected?

Among those present, in terms of virtue and prestige, who is better than Xu Jing?
Compiling agricultural books is both a leisurely and not difficult task.

Moreover, it is a matter of great merit. If it is done well, it will be famous throughout the ages.

Perhaps no one will remember who served as prime minister in Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but everyone who has read books knows that Tai Shigong once wrote "Historical Records". This is the charm of books.

"Compiling agricultural books requires traveling across mountains and rivers. King Fu of Hanzhong is old and is not suitable for this important task."

Wu Yi frowned and immediately stepped forward and said.

Wu Yi also wanted to fight for this piece of cake. Compared with the achievements that had to be fought for on the battlefield, compiling agricultural books was not only easy, but also famous, and the achievements were no less than fighting.

Who wouldn’t fight for such a noble job? Who wouldn’t grab it?

As a minister, Fazheng also stepped forward and said: "Compile agricultural books, and my subordinates can also do it."

Seeing everyone in the hall begging for orders one after another, and feeling like they were about to start a fight, Liu Chan raised his hand and said: "Quiet!"

After saying these two words, everyone in the hall became quiet and did not dare to say another word.

"Compiling agricultural books requires time and energy. Wang Fu is old and is not suitable for this important task. The minister is also not suitable for this task."

Hearing this, Wu Yi looked overjoyed.

If they can't do it, don't they have to leave it to me?
Unexpectedly, Liu Chan said again: "The guards guard the palace and guard Chengdu. They have a heavy responsibility, and they should not be held responsible for this important task."

Hearing this, Wu Yi could only smile bitterly.

Three people who came forward to show off declined.

Who will His Highness use?

Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Liu Chan said slowly: "The person responsible for compiling the agricultural books is Military Advisor Zhuge."

Zhuge Liang?
Everyone has different complexions.

Whether in terms of qualifications or ability, Zhuge Liang is definitely capable of taking on this important task.

But Liu Chan's words did not stop.

"Those who assisted Zhuge's military advisor in compiling agricultural books were Fei Yi, Dong Yun, Guan Xing, and Qiao Zhou."

Fei Yi, Dong Yun, Guan Xing, Qiao Zhou.
Everyone in the hall silently recited the names of these four people, and the resentment in their hearts was wiped away.

Although Liu Chan warned verbally that there should be no factions in Han China, he just couldn't show it.

In fact, the differences between factions will not disappear just because of Liu Chan's words.

We still have to see Liu Chan's future actions to suppress factionalism.

Zhuge Liang and Fei Yi were both from the Jingzhou faction, Dong Yun was a scholar from Dongzhou, Guan Xing was from the Yuancong faction, and Qiao Zhou was from the Yizhou native faction.

All the forces in Han China were taken care of.

If you don't favor one over the other, everyone will naturally have no opinions.

Although seeing such noble achievements disappear in front of him, it was only a pity for Xu Jing, Fazheng and Wu Yi.

They were unwilling to accept it, but they also understood Liu Chan's choice.

Why?

After all, when a new leader comes to power, he must naturally promote the people around him.

Once the emperor and his courtiers, it is better to be like this.Everyone held their breath and concentrated. The reward and the compilation of the agricultural book had been decided. So who should be sent to Nanzhong?

At this moment, Shangshu Yang Yi took a wat tablet in his hand, stepped forward and asked, "I wonder how your highness will arrange this Nanzhong matter?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Chan.

At this time, Liu Chan did not continue to act arbitrarily, but asked: "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Li Hui, a meritorious official, quickly stepped forward and said: "I have been to Nanzhong and know what is going on in Nanzhong. The barbarians in Nanzhong have been settled, and Your Highness has already settled the people. We only need to stabilize the local barbarian chiefs and give them some benefits. Then There is no resistance to building horse farms and raising horses, and it is even easier to mine mines."

Thanks to Liu Chan's killing of Nanzhong, the disobedient barbarians were either turned into cold corpses or sent as slaves. In addition, Wudang Feijun absorbed many young and strong Nanzhong barbarians and immigrated out of the country. Many barbarians were killed. Now in the four counties of Nanzhong, the resistance faced by Han China was much smaller.

As long as the policy is implemented properly, there will generally be no problems.

The official of the Hanzhong Palace, Zhonglang Yiji, held a wat tablet and stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, I believe that we can use the means of immigrant marriage and cultural integration to convert the Nanzhong barbarians into our Han people. We will educate them first. I would like to Go to Nanzhong and carry out this mission of enlightenment!"

Civilizing the barbarians is no small feat.

Only when the barbarian style in Nanzhong is completely eliminated and transformed into Han style can Nanzhong be called a Han land.

Next, many ministers came forward to ask for orders. After Liu Chan listened, he remained silent. After everyone calmed down, he asked: "The four counties of Nanzhong obey, what about the areas south of the four counties of Nanzhong?" , have you ever obeyed?”

South of the four counties of Nanzhong?

Li Hui stepped forward and said: "In view of the military power of our great Han Dynasty, the barbarians south of the four counties of Nanzhong did not dare to raise troops against the four counties of Nanzhong. However, there were sporadic barbarians who occupied the four counties of Nanzhong and became kings. Looting property."

Because of Liu Chan's arrival, he killed all the barbarians in the four counties of Nanzhong, immigrated, and recruited young men to join the army.

The strength of the four counties in Nanzhong has dropped by a level in a short period of time.

Seeing this fat man, other barbarians did not dare to send troops directly to make Liu Chan an enemy, but they dared to sneak in and steal some benefits.

There was such news in Deng Ai's recent report to Liu Chan about the four counties in Nanzhong.

"The four counties of Nanzhong are in an important position. There are many barbarians to the south. These are all human beings. Passing through the barbarian country in the south can directly lead to the body poison. If the four counties of Nanzhong can be managed well, it can even open up a new world for our Han Dynasty. A business road!”

Now the merchant alliance can only secretly send caravans towards Wei State and Jiangdong, or circulate internally and send them to Yizhou, Nanzhong and other places.

This efficiency is definitely not high, and the money earned is not much.

Go north to capture the land of Yongliang, open up the Western Regions, and do business with foreign countries directly through the Western Regions.

This is where the big money is made.

But it is difficult to fight against Wei and capture the land of Yongliang.

Managing Nanzhong and opening up the trade routes to the southwest is much simpler than running through Yongliang.

Liu Chan's words made many people's eyes light up.

Liu Ba stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, please leave the matter of opening up trade routes to me!"

If the southwest trade route could be opened up, its importance to Han China would be self-evident.

Liu Chan said with a smile: "Managing Nanzhong and opening up trade routes are not just words. Moreover, Han China has experienced long wars and its national strength is insufficient. As for the land of Nanzhong, it will be unable to send troops to attack it within one or two years." Yes, you might as well write down the strategy. If the strategy is good, I will appoint someone to manage Nanzhong!"

He said that he wanted to civilize the barbarians in southern China.

Then you have to tell me the rules of your education, right?

How to educate, and how long does it take to educate?

There has to be at least a rough idea.

We need to open up trade routes, how to open up trade routes, and how to open up trade routes without triggering chaos among the barbarians south of the four counties of Nanzhong and preventing Chengdu from sending troops.

Mining, how to mine, how to get local support?
These are just one sentence, but they need to come up with strategies to convince Liu Chan, so that he can safely hand over this important task.

after all
Things to the south are also very important.

If Langzhong was not important and close to Jingzhou and Chengdu, and if the Badi barbarians could be allowed to bleed, Han China's national power could quickly increase.

After all, the population has come, the land has been cultivated, and there is food and money, which can support a war.

If not.

Liu Chan must run the four counties of Nanzhong first.

"This"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and for a moment I didn’t know what to say.

He had no choice but to salute Liu Chan and said, "No!"

"The important things have been explained, everyone will perform their duties and finish today's errands first."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the hall dispersed and went to their respective positions.

Liu Chan's way of doing things is very sophisticated and does not change at all according to the words of his officials. He does not look like a rookie who has just learned how to govern the country, but like a politician who has been immersed in politics for decades.

Such a mature method made these officials not sure how to deal with it.

This leader can deliver hot soup in the morning, which shows that he cares about his subordinates and pays attention to details.

When dealing with affairs, there is a gap in my heart, and I am very clear about the details of political affairs. No one can fool anyone except a layman.

Everyone understands that only true talent and practical learning can be reused. There is no chance of cheating, cheating, and begging for favor.

Since the leader is like this, the officials at Shangshutai thought: What else can be done?Let's work!
When the ministers at the Chancery were working in full swing.

Liu Chan looked at the general list brought up by the Chancellor to understand the current situation of Han China.

After reading the data in the table, Liu Chan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. Han China now looks powerful, but inside it is empty.

Whether he launched the Battle of Hanzhong or Liu Chan launched multiple wars in Jingzhou, they both destroyed local production to a certain extent and squeezed out a lot of potential in Hanzhong.

As a result, the country has been recuperating for a year, and the deficit left by the war has not yet been made up.

Liu Chan supported his chin.

Since the population cannot increase rapidly in a short period of time, we have to think about increasing output on limited land.

Which of the economics of later generations could be applied in Han China in the late Eastern Han Dynasty?

Liu Chan was thinking about this problem.

But soon, Liu Chan shook his head again.

If you want him, a layman, to do financial things, don't collapse the country.

Let’s be honest and start from industry.

Lecture Hall and Chongwen Hall.

Maybe we should open another organization related to improving productivity.

Just like Yongsan Hangtai on Yongsan Mountain in Gangneung.

This time, Liu Chan wants to come up with something big!
