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

Chapter 482: The nobles gather at the Military Command, Luo Yuan scolds the emperor for being ignorant

Jia Xu thought about it and felt that what Luo Yuan said made sense, but he always felt that something was wrong. Why should they cross the river now?

Not earlier, nor later, but after Cao Cao and Zhou Yu had been fighting back and forth for several days.

Cao Cao’s biggest weakness is that northerners are not used to water battles. Now that Cao Cao knows how to use linked iron chains, northerners can overcome their unfamiliarity with water battles.

"Gong Qi really didn't lie to me?"

"No." Luo Yuan smiled and said, "You doubt that I won't attack Changsha, right? It's totally unnecessary. First, I don't plan to attack by force. Changsha has a large population and needs external supplies. Han Xuan only has this city left. Why should I be anxious? Gan Ning will besiege Changsha and clean up the four fields for a long time. Han Xuan will naturally not be able to stand it. Changsha is still mine. It can be said that I have taken Changsha now."

"Does it matter whether we attack Changsha or not?" Luo Yuan asked with a smile.

That’s true.

After listening to Luo Yuanyi's words, Jia Xu felt that it was right and no longer had any doubts.

Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was just trying to inspire Cao Cao. Without the iron chains, how could Zhou Yu set the fire? It should have been Pang Tong who did it.

But now Pang Tong is his own man, and Cao Cao certainly doesn't want to believe it. But if he lets him inspire himself, that will be different. Cao Mengde will never doubt himself.

As for the rest, I will leave it to Zhou Lang and Kong Ming. I have done what I can.

He just needs to be busy targeting Han Xuan, and no one will suspect him.

'

I really didn't let Cao Cao down.

Luo Yuan devoted all his time and energy to the construction of Jingzhou. The people in Jiangling kept moving towards him out of respect.

The current population of Jingzhou is really too small. Jingzhou controls the Jianghan Plain, and the land here is fertile and can easily feed tens of millions of people.

After learning from the experience of Jiangling's overly dense population, Luo Yuan decided that Jingzhou's population should not exceed one million. A city population of 500,000 would be enough, and the rest of the population would be dispersed among towns and villages.

The huge population brings too much pressure on health.

Counties, towns, villages and other units are set up under Jingzhou Prefecture. This not only helps manage the people more efficiently and improves government efficiency, but also provides a large number of official positions and attracts talented employment.

When Cao Cao returns to the north, it will be time for the nobles to form a team. What Luo Yuan needs to guard against is that Liu Bei may be eyeing Jingzhou.

He left Xiangyang for Liu Bei to attack. With Xiangyang, the northern part of Jingzhou could be handed over to Liu Bei to defend.

You can go and fight in the territories near Changsha with peace of mind.

Luo Yuan now occupies Jingzhou, but in fact he only owns half of Jingzhou, and he doesn't want the rest of the territory.

The most valuable territory is already in his hands, so the remaining garbage territory can be handed over to Liu Bei, so that he can also have a share of the benefits.

I have always been a good person.

Jingzhou was then under great construction, and the first thing built was the Military General's Mansion. When in Jiangling, Luo Yuan's home was together with the Military General's Mansion, with the Mansion in front and his home in the back.

After arriving in Jingzhou, Luo Yuan no longer planned to do so. He separated the Military Commander's Office from his own home. The Jingzhou Military Commander's Office expanded various institutions and departments on the site of the original Prefectural Mansion. This was a place specifically used for work, and his own home was next to the Military Commander's Office.

Luo Yuan asked Wen Ji to be responsible for building a house for himself, so that his wives could find something to do.

The local wealthy families and common people basically no longer existed, and the entire Jingzhou Luoyuan was demolished at will and rebuilt according to the Jiangling model.

The first step of the major construction project is the sewers, public toilets and the central avenue. Luo Yuan just draws whatever he thinks of on the map like he is playing a game, and then the people below start working.

Cement, wood, steel and other resources were continuously transported from Jiangling. When the people of Jiangling saw that there were job opportunities in Jingzhou, they all came here.

The business families surrounded Luo Yuan again. This time everyone knew that Luo Yuan played bigger in Jingzhou than in Jiangling, and everyone was no longer an ignorant family.

"My Lord, can my Tao family build a street dedicated to selling silk in Jingzhou?"

"Sir, please name a price. My Zhao family wants to build some shops to sell white paper."

"Sir, this is 10,000 Jiangling gold coins. My Li family hasn't found a place to live yet, so we have no place to store it for now. Please help keep it for now. I will ask you for it when we find a place to live."

The Li family’s residence is definitely impossible to find.

When the other families saw the people from the Li family, they all regretted it and realized that they had lost face.
Look how shameless they are.

Now your Excellency wants to build Jingzhou on a large scale, surpassing Jiangling in size. Everyone comes to Jingzhou to share the cake. Even though all industries in Jingzhou are in recession now, once the shops are built and the commercial streets are completed, people will come here immediately and it will become a prosperous commercial place again.

Now that they have Luo Yuan’s permission to build a commercial street and shops, they can do business and collect rent in the future. As for farming, these gentry dare not even think about it.

The Military Command did not allow them to annex land. Anyone who dared to annex land secretly would be beheaded without negotiation.

However, the Military Government did not restrict how they did business.

A group of people looked at Luo Yuan eagerly. Everyone was very expectant. These people were all very sensible local nobles.

They are all transformed.

For example, the Tao family wanted to create a Silk Street, specializing in selling silk and silk products.

The Zhao family, who make white paper, also wants to build a street.

This time, in order to get in early, these people called the emperor. Everyone had agreed with the emperor that when the new store opened, they would still need the emperor to come and support and sell goods.

Liu Xie looked at Luo Yuan and said, "Grand Marshal, I think this is OK. What do you think?"

Shit, of course you fucking think it’s okay.

You are fed by these people.

As far as Luo Yuan knew, these families together gave Liu Xie 200,000 gold coins.

Fuck!
But I haven't received a penny yet.

The treasury of the Military Command is almost empty because of this immigration. You have made a lot of money, but what about me?

Doesn’t Luo Yuan want to make some dirty money?

Luo Yuan looked at everyone and thought for a moment: "I will discuss this with the Emperor, you guys go out first."

As soon as these people saw each other, they went out obediently.

Luo Yuan looked at Liu Xie fiercely: "Two hundred thousand gold coins can bribe them to speak for them. Who among these people is not a rich man? How can you be satisfied with a mere two hundred thousand gold coins?"

I'm not happy if you say that!

Why should I look down on 200,000 gold coins?
Liu Xie said, "I am the emperor, and their gift of two hundred thousand gold coins is not too much. I am very satisfied."

"Damn it, what should I do if you're satisfied? I originally wanted to hold a land auction. I spent no less than a million gold coins to resettle the people. I just wanted to make it back, and now you're here. Be a human being."

Liu Xie didn't care: "You are the Lord of Jingzhou, what does it have to do with me? I make my money, you make your money, you make your money as you should, why bother about those people?"
