Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 580 Land Disputes
"Thanks to the Lord for not giving up, Tian Feng is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse!"

After Tian Feng was untied, he fell to his knees again.

"Mr. is not such a pedantic person. I am very pleased. I have the whole Jizhou, it is better to have Mr. alone!"

Liu Wei helped Tian Feng up again, and then sent someone to take Tian Feng down to take a bath and change clothes.

After a while, Tian Feng returned to Liu Wei.

Liu Wei asked: "Sir, I only saw the data left over from the beginning, but I believe that these data must be inaccurate. I wonder if sir knows the current situation of Jizhou?"

Tian Feng frowned, and then asked back: "I did manage many Jizhou affairs under Yuan Shao's command. I don't know what the prince asked?"

"Yuan Shao, in order to resist the king, expropriated and extorted in Jizhou. In the places where the king passed, the people were impoverished, and there was no one in ten. This king wants to know how many people there are in Jizhou now, and how much food there is in the granaries!"

Liu Wei asked.

"My lord is right. In order to resist your attack, Yuan Shao ordered people to arrest people among the people. Each household must send one person to join the army. In order to collect the army food, he set up various names. The people of Jizhou are fleeing to death. , There used to be millions of households in Jizhou, but now there are only less than one million people left in Jizhou!"

Tian Feng then said: "Since the prince has occupied Jizhou, he should release a list to reassure the people, so that the people in the 89 counties of the nine counties of Jizhou can feel at ease!"

Liu Wei hurriedly said: "Sir, what you said is very true, this king will make people go out and put up notices in the 89 counties of Jizhou!"

"Okay! In this way, those fleeing people will return home immediately when they hear that the prince has occupied Jizhou!"

Tian Feng applauded.

"My lord, I'm a little tired today, so I will leave first, and I hope my lord will forgive me!"

Liu Wei nodded, knowing that Tian Feng's new arrival must be a little uncomfortable, and he also planned to let Tian Feng get used to it for a period of time before discussing other things.

The next day, all the soldiers and horses Liu Wei sent to crusade against the counties and counties in Jizhou returned.

The reason why they came back so quickly was because the tree fell and the monkeys scattered. Once Yuan Shao died, they had no idea of ​​resistance. Some chose to open the door and surrender, while others chose to flee with their subordinates to join other princes, or to fall into the grass As a bandit, there are also Yuan Shao's loyal loyalists. I heard that Yuan Shao is dead. Some of them resisted to the death until they were defeated and captured. Some of them faced Yecheng and committed suicide. All the counties fell into the hands of Liu Wei.

Liu Wei really became a fat man in one bite. Originally, there was only one Liaozhou and a small half of Youzhou. Now that he took Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou, he now has four big states in his hands. There were nearly ten million people at once. Although there were enough soldiers and horses to control the four states, there was a serious shortage of officials, which became a big problem.For a while, Liu Wei was at a loss, and called Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others to discuss the matter.

Not many people came, there were only four people in total, namely Pang Tong, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, and Tian Feng, and Pang Tong came from the south, so he didn't know the situation in the north, so it was the one who could really relieve Liu Wei's worries. It was Tian Feng, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu.

"My lord, this is indeed a big problem. Yuan Shao is completely cronyistic, unlike you who are meritocracy. This Youzhou is okay, but more than [-]% of the officials in Jizhou and Bingzhou are Yuan Shao's cronies. Moth, sucking people's fat and people's ointment, if you don't change it, the people will definitely complain!"

Of course, Tian Feng knew the situation of Yuan Shao's subordinates best.

"Then Mr. Yuan Hao, is there anyone to recommend?"

Liu Wei asked.

Tian Feng thought for a while, then named a lot of famous Confucian scholars, and then said: "My lord, these people are all famous Confucian scholars, they should be able to be officials!"

And Liu Wei smiled disdainfully after hearing Tian Feng's words, and then said: "It's just a bunch of corrupt scholars. I use them as officials to govern counties and counties for me. I'm afraid they are no better than these people now!"

Liu Wei knows about these Confucian scholars. These people think that they have read sage books for a few years, and they think they are superior. On the road of corrupt officials.

Although not all Confucian scholars are like this, Liu Wei should not be beaten to death with a stick, but most Confucian scholars are like this, let them talk about the truth, they will not be able to finish the lecture for three days and three nights, but let them rise to the court to decide the case, They will slap their claws. If they meet someone who can act again, or if a powerful local tyrant is sued, then they will definitely favor the guilty.

After denying Tian Feng's proposal, Liu Wei looked at Xu Shu and Guo Jia again, and asked, "Where are you two, is there anyone who recommends it?"

Xu Shu opened his mouth and replied: "It has been several years since my lord established Liaozhou College, isn't it time to see the results?"

"Forehead!"

Liu Wei thought for a while, and asked with some doubts: "Are they really competent?"

"My lord, I haven't tried it before, how do I know it won't work? Even if they are really incompetent, it won't be too late to replace them!"

Xu Shu said.

"Well, it makes sense! You can send someone to try it!"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he set out to let Xu Shu go to do the matter.

After discussing the matter with the officials, all three of Pang Tong left, and only Guo Jia stayed in Liu Wei's house.

Seeing that Guo Jia didn't leave, Liu Wei asked, "Fengxiao, what else is there?"

"My lord, do you know that you are about to face a catastrophe!"

Guo Jia stared into Liu Wei's eyes and said.

"A catastrophe is imminent? Fengxiao, are you drinking too much again and talking nonsense here? I just defeated Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao fought with Sun Ce again. I can't take care of myself. Who can pose a threat to me? Could it be you, Guo Fengxiao? Hahahaha! "

Liu Wei looked at Guo Jia and laughed.

"My lord, your heart is really big, you can still laugh!"

Guo Jia sighed.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore, so tell me, why is it so difficult for me?"

Liu Wei asked.

Guo Jia replied slowly: "My lord, you are in Liaozhou. You have distributed all the land of the local tyrants and gentry to the common people, letting them build plantations or cultivate them by themselves. Now you have taken Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou. Do you want to divide the land or not? If you don’t divide it, the people will complain, and there will be chaos! If you divide it, there are many gentry in Jizhou, and there are many local tyrants and gentry. If you want to divide their land, it will be easier said than done! Because no matter how powerful the King of Hades is, there is only one little ghost, and there are countless little ghosts, and this local tyrant and squire is that little ghost, there are as many as a cow's hair!"

Hearing Guo Jia talk about the land, Liu Wei suddenly realized, and his back broke out in a cold sweat. After watching Guo Jia for a long time, Liu Wei said slowly: "Feng Xiao, what should I do?" !"
