Chapter 325 Smooth Handover
Jiang Xia's acceptance did not reverse. Liu Yi found Zhao Yun and arrived in Xiling with his men. While returning Lu Meng, the officials of each county prepared in advance changed the officials. As for the officials of Jiangxia who were originally willing to leave with the people of Jiangdong, they would leave, and those who were unwilling to leave would not remain in office. Fu Shiren's affairs made Liu Bei more cautious and stricter in the appointment and review of officials. These officials who were willing to stay would have to wait at least two years before they could be recruited.
"Don't you have a lord in Jingzhou?" Liu Yi looked at Cui Zhouping in surprise. He didn't expect that Cui Zhouping's appointment would come down so quickly. Moreover, the official position was much larger than the prefectural prefecture circle of Jiangxia. As the assistant to the prefect of the prefect, Liu Bei is actually in the two states. In fact, Liu Bei is now in the political function of the two states, and the military power is equivalent to the prefectural governor. However, the military power is controlled by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun. Cui Zhouping does not have the right to directly mobilize it. But even so, it is already amazing to be a real-powered official in a state.
"Congratulations to Brother Zhouping, it seems that I am so worried." Liu Yi smiled at Cui Zhouping.
Before, he was worried about how he could get the position of Jiangxia prefect to Cui Zhouping. Now it seems that he is worried. With Cui Zhouping's ability and connections with Liu Bei's group, it is not difficult to get up, not to mention that he has not made any achievements. When Liu Bei had just had the four counties in Jingnan, Cui Zhouping was the actual manager of Changsha and even Yueyang later. The two counties were quite effective under his governance. In this battle, he also helped Zhao Yun and himself to make suggestions. If all these contributions were included, Cui Zhouping was undoubtedly very suitable when Jingzhou did not have top talents in charge.
Cui Zhouping and Liu Yi sat down, and waved his hand with a smile when he heard this, "Bo Yuan helped a lot. If Bo Yuan had not fulfilled it, he would probably not be able to defeat this task!"
Although he has never been an official, Cui Zhouping has not helped Liu Bei a lot, which is why Liu Yi has always been willing to delegate power to Cui Zhouping, not to mention the relationship between Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
"You think, what will happen to the world next?" Liu Yi fiddled with the charcoal fire in the stove, looked at Cui Zhouping and asked. Today's history has been separated from what Liu Yi knows, and Liu Yi doesn't quite understand what the world will look like in the future.
"If we have the next three points today, after this battle, the lord will take over Jingxiang and Bashu has become a foregone conclusion. Although Cao Cao has great power, it is difficult to concentrate all his strength. Our army has the advantage of terrain, and it is probably difficult to unify in the next few decades. As for what will happen..." Cui Zhouping smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid no one in the world can tell."
The three-legged tripod is the most difficult to crack. In Cui Zhouping's opinion, this is no longer something that Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan can decide. It depends on the descendants of the three families. Even if they are in the hands of the grandchildren of the three, there may not be an opportunity to crack. This matter depends on God's will.
Liu Yi was speechless when he heard this. To a certain extent, Liu Yi broke the conspiracy of Jiangdong's sneak attack on Jingzhou this time, which also caused the current situation of three-legged squadron. It was right or wrong, and perhaps it could only be judged by future generations.
Seeing that Liu Yi was not in a high mood, Cui Zhouping could probably guess what he was thinking, shook his head and smiled, "You and I can't decide this. Since you have reached this point, you and I should show what you have learned in your heart, and be ashamed of yourself and your heart."
"That's all." Liu Yi nodded and smiled when he heard this, "But do you think Zhao Xu is suitable for the position of Jiangxia Prefect?"
Although I thought about helping Zhao Xu, Jiangxia's position is very important, and Zhao Xu's ability can only be considered as a normal person.
"There have been wars in Jiangxia, and now the population is exhausted. Even if you recruit Kong Ming to stay in Jiangxia, there will be no improvement in a short period of time. Although Zhao Xu is a person who has suffered a small loss, he can still trust his major issues." Cui Zhou said with a smile.
The prefect of Jiangxia actually doesn’t need to be very capable, just be able to manage it. Jiangxia’s main function is to guard against Jiangdong. Military significance is greater than people’s livelihood. Liu Bei put the Wenpin here, which is the same.
Liu Yi groped his chin and nodded. Zhao Xu is now half of his own person and is easy to use. Moreover, in the next two or three years, Liu Yi's scope of activities will be mostly Jingbei. On the contrary, Jingnan has formed a stable and healthy development. As long as the supervision is done well, there is no need to stay there all the time.
"You should worry about these things. I just care about the local civil engineering affairs. You have to make money for me." Liu Yi shook his head. With Cui Zhouping here, why bother with these things yourself? He smiled at Cui Zhouping.
"How much do you need for this Jiangxia?" Cui Zhouping asked with a smile.
"There are not many places to build civil engineering at present. Wenpin needs several water villages to build defenses. In addition, several rivers can build bridges. Each county will build temples. I plan to transform Mocheng into a comprehensive township similar to the fishing town. In addition, the burned houses in Jiangling need to be restored. Xiangyang wants to take this opportunity to demolish and rebuild it according to Junhou's wishes. However, at most a foundation can be laid this year. Really start construction next year. After all, it will cost about 300 million this year." Liu Yishui asked.
It sounds quite a lot, but in fact it is not much. Reconstruction after the war is troublesome, not to mention that many new buildings are needed. With the foundation of Xiangyang, although it does not need to be like Yueyang, Liu Yi has to consider just designing. After all, there are not many natural water conservancy in Xiangyang, so it is impossible for the entire city to enjoy the convenience brought by water conservancy, so military priority is given. Naturally, privileges exist, but only a few people.
Anyway, these things are counted as 300 million. In Liu Yi's calculations, materials alone cost 10 million. Although the fishing towns make a lot of money every year, they can't always pay out of their own pockets, right? Liu Bei's forces are now on the right track and it's time to give feedback.
"I can't take it out at once, so I'll give it to you in batches." Cui Zhouping thought for a while and said, "In addition, it's best to do some water conservancy. In recent years, the population of Jingxiang has grown very rapidly. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be a shortage of food."
There is a lot of money in the treasury, and in recent years, Jingzhou has been focusing on winning the hearts of the people, and the taxes are not high. For example, many places in Jingnan still adopt the policy of overpaying and encouraging land reclamation. Although it is rich, it also needs to maintain the normal operation of Jingzhou's internal affairs. Three hundred million yuan is not a decimal.
"This is no problem. I'm also gradually developing it here. The second half of the year is the time to really use money." Liu Yi nodded. In the first half of the year, it mainly planned and prepared materials, and finalized the construction of the place. At most, it was to help repair houses and city walls. In the second half of the year, it was time to spend a lot of money on construction, and there was enough time.
The two met, originally to reminisce about the past, but as they talked, they began to discuss the future governance of Jingzhou and how to develop. Where do you need to build ground? There must be at least four or five post roads and stations in each county, and how to be vigilant of Jiangdong. Jiangxia is not only Jiangdong, but also borders the Jianghuai area. Although most of them are mountain tombs, you must also be prepared. This needs to be discussed with Guan Yu and Wenpin. In addition, the defense in Xiangyang is the top priority. Unfortunately, Xinye cannot be brought back, otherwise it will be better to push the defense line to Xinye.
"Two gentlemen..." When Zhao Yun came over, the table in front of them was already filled with sketches. Zhao Yun was a little confused. What were these two people doing? What was the promised reminisce about the past?
"What's the matter with General Zilong?" Liu Yi and Cui Zhouping stopped and looked at Zhao Yun and asked.
"The banquet has been set up and is about to send Jiangdong away. Now I'm waiting for two of you." Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, forgot about both of you.
Liu Yi and Cui Zhouping patted their foreheads at the same time. With this memory, they each stood up: "Don't let someone wait for a long time, then go."
