Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 89 "Yizhou Civil Affairs"

"Your Majesty, please review today's memorial." The attendant presented the memorial to Liu Chan's case.

"Let's put it down!" Liu Chan immersed himself in reading "Yizhou Civil Affairs" edited by Liao Li, Dong Yun, Fei Yi, Huo Yi, and Guan Xing.

Guan Xing, courtesy name Anguo, son of Han Shouting Marquis Guan Yu, at the age of weak crown (about 20 years old), unlike his father Guan Yu, who was superior in martial arts, Guan Xing did not drink alcohol, was taciturn, liked to read scriptures, specialized in spring and autumn, and was quick in action. And he grew up in the army and is good at military affairs.Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan hold the posts of Shizhong and Zhongjianjun (Note ①) very highly at present, and he is a rising star in the political arena of the Han Dynasty.

When the four people originally wrote "Yizhou Civil Affairs", they found that the compilation took a long time, not a few days' work, and then reported it to the inner government, and Zhuge Liang personally checked it.After hearing this, Guan Xing, the servant, readily asked to participate and assisted the four people in co-editing.

"Yizhou Civil Affairs" is a comprehensive auxiliary agricultural book involving the integration of agriculture and government, which describes the agricultural production and government auxiliary measures in Ba, Shu, and Hanzhong. It is expected to have four volumes, and three volumes have been completed.

After Zhuge Liang, Fei Yi, Dong Yun and other six people made unremitting efforts to collect data from various counties and counties, and finally compared with "Book of Si Sheng", which only briefly described agricultural knowledge such as farming principles and crop cultivation techniques in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, "Yizhou According to the local conditions in Yizhou, "Civil Affairs" adds water conservancy, agricultural tools, county and county administrative measures, etc.; and its language is more simple, suitable for learning, promotion, and use.

It was Fei Yi who was summoned this time to report on the compilation of "Yizhou Civil Affairs".

From ancient times to the later Han Dynasty, the two most widely circulated agricultural books are "The Book of Si Sheng" and "Si Min Yue Ling". However, these two books only write about the agricultural development of the Yellow River Basin, and do not have much to say about the Yangtze River Basin and Sichuan Basin. Full reference.

For Dahan who needs to deeply cultivate Yizhou at present, there must be better agricultural books to assist Yizhou in agricultural production. Especially with Liu Chan providing the farming methods and farm tools for later generations, Dahan urgently needs "Yizhou Civil Affairs".

A total of about half a year before and after, Zhuge Liang personally joined the checkpoint before, and talents like Guan Xing and Huo Yi later, and now it has finally come to an end. After all, the current four volumes are only short of the Nanzhong volume.

When Liu Chan was reading, Fei Yi stood by and reported to Liu Chanhui: "I have sorted out, written, and compiled three volumes, which are divided into different regions, with a total of thirteen chapters. There are still four chapters in the Nanzhong volume. Not written. Ministers and others screened and deleted the inappropriate agricultural books of the ancestors, and added county and county agricultural measures, important water conservancy projects and repair measures in various places, and new agricultural farming methods.  …”

Liu Chan put down the book in his hand and listened to Fei Yi's explanation. Liu Chan nodded again and again, "Yes!" There was an endless stream of voices of approval. From the tone of Liu Chan's response, it can be seen that he was in a happy mood and was very satisfied with this "Yizhou Civil Affairs".

Liu Chan waited for Fei Yi to finish his explanation, and said with emotion: "Agriculture is the foundation of the Han Dynasty and the foundation of the people. The agricultural books of the ancestors have been widely passed down to the world, but none of them are suitable for Yizhou. Today, Qing and others are Yizhou, Dahan, All the people in the world have written books, and their deeds are indisputable."

After Liu Chan was emotional, he changed the subject and asked, "When will it be promoted in Yizhou?"

Fei Yi replied: "After your majesty reads it today, I will publish it in the counties and counties."

"How does the Prime Minister arrange the agricultural book?" Liu Chan looked at Fei Yi and asked slowly.

"Prime Minister Shang plans to promote agricultural books to all counties and counties, and join them in the examinations of households, fields, and waters in all counties and counties. The inner government will send envoys to persuade farmers to supervise the promotion in various places. Those who fail to pass the report will be reported to the inner government. Hu, Tian, ​​and Shui will be appointed and dismissed, and then the inner government will dispatch three chief officials." Fei Yi met Liu Chan's gaze, and replied with a look of humility.

"However, writing a book is only the first step. Promulgating and promoting it in counties and counties, so that the prefects, county magistrates, and officials of the Three Caos (Note ②) are known to everyone and implemented by the people. This is the most important thing." Liu Chan said lightly, He waved his hand to signal Fei Yi to back down.

Looking at Fei Yi's resignation figure, Liu Chan thought of Fei Yi's words and Zhuge Liang's promotion methods after the completion of the book, and couldn't help but lament that Zhuge Liang was so sophisticated in seeking the country. The power to appoint personnel and the power to perform performance examinations for officials in households, fields, and waters in counties and counties was taken to the central government.

After Liu Chan thought about it, he picked up the memorials on the attendant's case and read them. These letters were reported by Wang Ping, Deng Ai and others about the Sanwei matter.

Liu Chan's copy is Wang Ping's report on the situation of the Baijiawei. Wang Ping used his identity as a scorpion to recruit smugglers into the guard. Currently, there are 4500 households in one guard.In order to solve the problem of slaves needed by Baijiawei, Wang Ping led his troops to attack Fuling, Badong and other counties of Junman and other people who did not accept Wang Huarong.

And please allow the people to rebuild Hanchang De Seoul in Brazil County, and move the Baijiawei to live in De Seoul.De Seoul City (note ③ today's Tongjiang County, Bazhong City) was built by the great ancestor Liu Bang. It faces streams on three sides, mountains on its back, and cliffs on four sides.It borders the Datong River in the east, with deep streams in the north and south, and a steep ridge in the southeast, shaped like the waist of a bee. There are only two main roads in the southwest, and it turns up in a dangerous turn. The upper part is parallel and can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Liu Chan thought and thought that Wang Ping, as a poor man, has been in charge of the military and continues to be in charge of civil affairs. If he builds Seoul, he may be criticized by him, so he happily wrote a pen and wrote: "Send the inner government to join the army and serve as the head of the Baijia Guard. Responsible for the construction of Seoul'.

After Liu Chan corrected it, he picked up Deng Ai's newspaper and read it. Deng Ai is currently recruiting 1500 households in a city, but Su Gu, his subordinate, admires the daughter of the Yao family, a rich family in Han'an County, and wants to marry her. Not to marry, I hope Liu Chan can solve it.

Liu Chan looked at Deng Ai's memorial and couldn't laugh or cry, but Deng Ai asked Liu Chan to ask Zhao Yun or Zhang Yi who were stationed in Jiangyang to help him.

Liu Chan thought for a while, worried about Zhao Yun's status, and wrote a book with Zhang Yi, hoping that Zhang Yi could come forward as a matchmaker for Su Gu.

"Shaoxian, submit these memorials to the prime minister, and see if he has any opinions." After correcting, Liu Chan closed the memorials and handed them to Huo Yi.

After Liu Chan ascended the throne, he appointed Huo Yi as the guest, accompanied by Liu Chan, and was in charge of Liu Chan's communication with Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang was also very pleased with Huo Yi's military talent displayed in the Battle of Yiling, and he would focus on training it.
