The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 292 Jiangling County annexed Jingzhou City, Xu Yuanzhi recommended Shi Taishou
Thick smoke was belching out of the kilns in Jiangling day and night. It was impossible to farm because of the cold weather, but the firing of porcelain did not have to stop.

The Yangtze River embankment in Jiangling has been built for more than 100 miles, and it looks like it needs to be further built. In fact, a embankment of more than 200 miles is enough for the advent, but Jingzhou is coming closer, so it needs to be further built.

Jingzhou governor Du Feng walked into the military headquarters in Jiangling, beaming with joy. He bowed to everyone he saw, regardless of whether he knew them or not, as if they were all family members from now on.

"Greetings, my lord!"

When they arrived at the back hall of the Military Commander's Mansion, they saw Luo Yuan and Du Feng greeted him very seriously.

"Sit down, don't be polite, Jiangling doesn't care about that."

Du Feng nodded. He knew it earlier, but he definitely couldn't do that on their first formal meeting.

Luo Yuan looked at the other party. It was this guy who took the initiative to get close to Jiangling and almost disrupted the rhythm of Jiangling's development. Du Feng's governance of Jingzhou was still good. At least no people starved to death. But it can't be said to be very good.

Jingzhou is a land of corn, so it would be unacceptable if people still starved to death here.

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "You should study in Jiangling first, and then I will arrange an official position for you in the future."

"It's all up to the Lord!"

Du Feng was honest and had no regrets. He had found out clearly when he came here that Jiangling was different from other places. Officials were arranged based on their abilities, with the more advanced ones promoted first and the less advanced ones promoted later.

The various rules are completely different from those in other places and form their own system.

But it's fair.

Du Feng said: "My ability is not enough to be a governor of a prefecture or a local governor. I am good at calligraphy and writing, and I am quite proficient in handling documents. I also have a little knowledge of judicial affairs, so I am OK as a Gongcao, but I am really incapable of other duties!"

What a good person!
Be humble!
People from the Jingzhao Du family are different. From the moment they arrive, they make it clear that they don't care about official positions and are willing to work like slaves.

How could Luo Yuan not understand? Since they were polite, he would not be impolite either: "It is very good that Jingzhou is willing to join the Jiangling system. I am also full of hope for you. There will be nothing bad in the future!"

Jingzhou is actually a very awesome place. It was the capital of the Chu State during the Warring States Period. Later, another dynasty made Jingzhou its capital and it became an important town along the Yangtze River.

It is said that if Luo Yuan occupied such a place, he could even be crowned king, since this was the capital of the Great Chu.

Jingzhou actually belongs to Nanjun.

Du Feng was polite in speech and had clear ideas. After getting used to Luo Yuan's style, he became more relaxed and told Luo Yuan a lot of his views on judicial matters!
He was also showing off his strengths so as not to let Luo Yuan know how his strengths would help him arrange a job in the future. The meeting was just a job search.

After talking with the other party, Luo Yuan knew that this person really understood the laws of the Han Dynasty, especially the civil disputes.
Luo Yuan thought for a moment and said, "When Jiangling amends the laws in the future, I won't be able to do without you!"

"My Lord, do you want to revise the law?"

"That's for sure. The laws of the Han Dynasty were rough and many of them were abandoned. They will have to be revised in the future. The laws are the daily norms for the people. If the laws are not strict, people will not respect them. If the laws are not fair, the world will be unfair. The world must be governed by the laws. If the kings and princes all abide by the laws, how can the world be in chaos?" Luo Yuan said: "Local officials govern the local areas by relying on people. When people die, the government will perish, but the laws will not. Jiangling governs the people with the law. You can study the Jiangling system carefully. I will make great use of you in the future." Du Feng bowed hurriedly, which was regarded as a promise from Luo Yuan. He was very satisfied!
Luo Yuan said that Dayong would definitely be of great use in the future, and just to establish the law would be a huge help.

Then Du Feng said goodbye.

Luo Yuan invited Xu Shu to come over: "Pang Tong has been on a tour of the four provinces. Now Jingzhou has been returned to Jiangling. All the systems need to be reformed. Jingzhou needs someone to guard it. Who do you think can be the governor of Jingzhou?"

Xu Shu smiled bitterly. He was naturally the most suitable person, but he was the steward of Jiangling and couldn't leave. He followed Luo Yuan and knew Luo Yuan's ideas for Jingzhou best.

However, Jingzhou governs several counties, and its territory is several times that of Jiangling. It is dominated by aristocratic families, and the situation is definitely more complicated than that of Jiangling.

Xu Shu thought for a moment and said, "It would be most appropriate for the Lord to go!"

"Needless to say, how can I go to Jingzhou... Well, do you mean that we should go to Jingzhou if we change places?" Luo Yuan reacted.

Xu Shu said: "Yes, the military headquarters will be moved to Jingzhou!"

"This... it's not the right time yet. I understand what you mean," Luo Yuan said.

Jingzhou is a large area and an ancient capital city, so it is no problem to use it as the seat of Jiangling. He personally sits in Jingzhou and governs the counties and districts below.

Luo Yuan actually didn't care where the government seat was. Now was not the time to establish a capital for the founding of a country. However, moving the General Military Headquarters was not only for his own convenience but also required considering the impact.

Jiangling has a population of 600,000. If the military headquarters is relocated to Jingzhou, a large number of people will be relocated, which will affect the various projects currently being carried out in Jiangling.

It will also disrupt Jiangling's existing preliminary economic system.

Luo Yuan made some analysis and said, "It's too early to move the military headquarters now. Jiangling's livelihood and economy have just begun to recover, and the system established by our army has just begun to take effect. Changing the seat of government at this moment will inevitably affect the confidence of the local people. It's better for Jingzhou to send someone. Who do you think can do it?"

"Jingzhou is an important town. The person who sits in it needs to be proficient in Jiangling's political affairs and also needs to deal with the Jingzhou nobles. If Shi Yuan is here, he is the most suitable person besides the lord. Now that he is visiting the surrounding areas, I think Shi Tao can do it!"

Xu Shu considered it seriously. Shi Tao had been under Luo Yuan for a long time and was familiar with the government affairs of Jiangling and all the systems and rules.

He himself comes from a noble family and can deal with the nobles in Jingzhou. He is of the right age and has a calm personality. With the assistance of some people, he can take control of the situation in Jingzhou.

The people of Jingzhou will not resist Luo Yuan. When Luo Yuan comes, the people will only welcome him. The only ones who may be dissatisfied with Luo Yuan are the local gentry.

"My lord, when you employ people, you don't look at their status. The gentry are unwilling to accept this. The gentry in Jingzhou are entrenched in the local area, and the governor must employ their people. This is the gentry's usual means of monopolizing the local area. Secondly, our military system requires the distribution of land and the transformation of the gentry. How can the gentry be willing to give up the land in their hands? Although they can be allowed to make porcelain, it requires a tuition fee of ten thousand gold coins, which they may not be willing to pay. Moreover, we cannot let all the gentry in the world make porcelain. Even if we allow them to make white paper, they still have to pay. Third, Jingzhou is the former land of Liu Biao, and many gentry, local gentry in Jingzhou, want to surrender to Cao Cao. Although my lord is Cao Cao's son-in-law, he is not Cao Cao after all, and they can still distinguish clearly."

Xu Shu concluded: "If we can't handle the issue of the nobles, they will definitely rebel against us in the future. This is a dispute over conflicting interests. Therefore, the governor guarding Jingzhou must not only be proficient in government affairs, but also have means. Du Mao under the lord's command is too radical, Liu Huan is incompetent, and Zhang Qiao has to help the lord handle official affairs. I'm afraid he can't move lightly. I can't leave either. So Shi Tao is the best."

Luo Yuan nodded: "There are still not enough talents!"
