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

Chapter 475 Xu Yuanzhi guards Jiangling, Liu Xie visits
"My lord, what's wrong? The orders you issued recently are disturbing the people."

"It's not just a nuisance. Now I don't even dare to close the door when I go to bed. Someone might come to check."

"Before, we were not allowed to drink raw water, and later we were not allowed to defecate anywhere. Now we have to wash our hands and take a shower, and we have to be checked every day. This is... helpless."

"It's for our own good."

The common people were confused by Luo Yuan’s recent orders. Everyone felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing they could do.

You have to wash your hands every day and take a bath every three days. You must also take a bath in a designated place under the supervision of the head of the neighborhood. For this purpose, Jiangling built a large number of bathhouses.

If you don't take a shower according to the rules, you will be beaten to death if you are caught.

The local supervisors are all old men, who look very majestic after wearing red armbands. They are very dedicated to carrying out Luo Yuan's orders.

The old men have high prestige and dare to enter other people's homes with red armbands on. They check the hygiene of the house and whether the dirty clothes have been washed. If they are not satisfied, they will beat them.

Each of them held a short stick issued by the Military Commandery, and the old men rubbed the sticks until they were shiny and smooth.

People really don't like to take a bath. Normally, Luo Yuan doesn't care about that, but now he can't.

Taking a bath is really troublesome. You need to boil water, which requires more firewood. The firewood used for taking a bath is enough to cook several meals.

The common people would rather deal with it in the river.

That’s not possible now. It must be the large bathhouse designated by Jiangling.

"My lord, the people have many complaints." Xu Shu and Luo Yuan reported, "Should we explain to the people that this is to prevent the plague?"

"It's still early."

Luo Yuan shook his head. The plague has not yet broken out. Announcing the news now will only cause panic among the people. Jiangling has a population of one million.

It would cause social panic, and Luo Yuan didn't think Jiang Ling's current physical condition could withstand it.

“How’s immigration going?”

"150,000 people have been relocated to Jingzhou, most of them are farmers. Jingzhou is deserted now and the land is barren, so the people are happy to go there." Xu Shu said.

"It's the poor who are willing to go, right? Even the slightly richer ones are not willing to go, right?"

"My lord is wise." Xu Shu was also in a dilemma. The people of Jiangling had little interest in migrating to other places. Those who were willing to go to Jingzhou were mainly those who had originally come from Jingzhou, and some who had just arrived in Jiangling and did not have a fixed place of residence.

But those who were diligent found jobs in Jiangling and were unwilling to immigrate.

'

Jiangling is a good place. You can support yourself by working. Why go somewhere else?

The people who immigrated to Jingzhou were mainly the people that Luo Yuan snatched from Liu Bei.

The local people are basically unwilling to leave.

Xu Shu had no good solution for this. The Military Command was not like the Han Dynasty court. If the people did not leave, he would force them to leave.

Xu Shu said: "Now the people won't leave, lord, if there is really no other way, then use force!"

"That won't work. We still have to be reasonable." Luo Yuan said with a smile, "The people don't want to leave, which means they are not stupid. They are smart and know that Jiangling is good. If they leave Jiangling, their lives will definitely get worse!"

Xu Shu smiled bitterly and said, "But the people's cleverness makes it difficult for us to deal with it."

"Is it difficult?"

Luo Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It would be great if the Military Command moved to Jingzhou. There must be people willing to follow the Military Command to Jingzhou. Jiangling has reached its limit in terms of development today."

Xu Shu was still in a daze.

Luo Yuan said: "Jingzhou is a strategic location with a vast territory that can accommodate a larger population. In fact, many noble families hope that the General Military Office will be moved to Jingzhou." In later generations, in order to develop the regional economy, every government department had to move everywhere. When the General Military Office moved to Jingzhou, the officials would definitely follow, and behind the officials were a group of families.

Next are the nobles who cooperated with Luo Yuan. These nobles were mainly engaged in business and had industries in their hands. Following Luo Yuan to Jingzhou would also drive the migration of industries.

When industries relocate, job opportunities also relocate, and people will naturally go to Jingzhou.

Anyway, Jingzhou belongs to Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan now wants to disperse the population.

"Besides, we are too close to Cao Cao now. Cao Mengde can run to the military headquarters in just two steps." Luo Yuan looked at Xu Shu speechlessly.

Being too close to Cao Cao is not a good thing.

If a plague breaks out in Cao’s army, Cao will definitely run to Jiangling again.

Go to Jingzhou by yourself and look back to guard the pass. Boss Cao wants to come in?
Luo Yuan decided not to be neighbors with Cao Cao anymore, as Cao Cao was not a qualified neighbor.

Xu Shu thought for a moment and said, "My lord, Cao Cao will not do anything reckless when he is around. If my lord goes to Jingzhou, Jiangling will need a general to take charge, otherwise Cao Cao will surely have ulterior motives. And my lord needs to talk to the emperor."

"How about ordering Gan Ning to come back?"

Xu Shu said, "We need Huang Zhong to come back and take charge of Jiangling. Han Xuan is at the end of his rope and can do nothing. We can let Gan Ning lead the attack on Changsha and let Han Sheng come back to take charge of Jiangling. I or Pang Tong will stay and deal with Cao Cao. We have been building Jiangling for a long time and it is now extremely prosperous. The princes are coveting it."

Don’t be greedy, Jiangling is mine.

I went to Jingzhou, and Jiangling was a county under Jingzhou.

I know Xu Shu is reluctant to let go!

Pang Tong is a street slicker, and Luo Yuan still needs him to do diplomacy outside. As for Xu Shu, Luo Yuan is even more dependent on him, as he is his chief steward.

But what Xu Shu said was right, Jiangling needed someone to guard it.

The military affairs can be handed over to Huang Zhong, but the political dealings need to be done by civil servants. At present, it seems that Xu Shu is the most suitable person to replace him to guard Jiangling.

So what should we do?
Luo Yuan doesn't like dealing with miscellaneous matters. To implement government policies well, one needs to be careful and patient, which he does not have. Xu Shu is very suitable for this kind of thing.

Luo Yuan felt annoyed when he thought that he would have to deal with such small matters himself in Jingzhou in the future.

Ultimately, it was because he did not have enough mature officials under his command. Shi Tao was one of them, but Shi's political ideas were somewhat different from Jiang Ling's.

I can only say that it can be used if it is strong.

Luo Yuan was a decisive person. In order to prevent possible plagues in the future, it was inevitable to move the Military Headquarters to Jingzhou. He immediately gave the order for the Military Headquarters to move.

The Jiangling Military Headquarters was left to Xu Shu.

When the order was issued, the officials in the Military Command were confused, but they quickly carried it out. They began to pack up documents and arrange for their families to go to Jingzhou. Naturally, the first to go were the army.

Liu Huan, who led the army, went over first to clean up and prepare. Then when there was movement here, the gentry came to Luo Yuan to inquire about the situation.

'

Luo Yuan said that Jiangling has reached its limit and Jingzhou has not yet been developed, so the focus in the future will naturally be on developing Jingzhou.

The gentry can also understand it.

After all, Cao Cao is right next to us, and he will definitely start a war this year, so everyone should prepare to move immediately.

Emperor Liu Xie also went to Luo Yuan to ask, "People outside say that you want to go to Jingzhou to avoid the war, but I don't think so. What's going on?"

Liu Xie didn't believe the news outside at all. The news that everyone knew must be false.
