Liu Muzhi said calmly: "No, not only are they not allowed to return to Jingkou, but they can even be given more land to their relatives in Jingkou, or to tenants and villagers from aristocratic families in Wu who are willing to come to Jingzhou for development. Guests also come here, and as long as they take refuge in their homes, they can be given more preferential policies than ordinary people."

Liu Daogui's eyes widened: "Is this okay? I'm afraid it won't be easy. Those Wu families and powerful people rarely let our soldiers come into contact with their villagers and tenants, even their servants, unless..."

When he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean, are the more than two thousand people under Yu Yue who mutinied this time? Through them, we can attract the tenant farmers from Wudi to live and develop in Jingzhou?"

Liu Muzhi laughed and said, "The Taoist rules are really clear. You talked a lot about these sergeants just now, but you just didn't expect that they also have many relatives and friends in Wu. We couldn't do anything about these people before." Contact and intervention, but now that there is this condition, as long as they live well in Jingzhou and let these relatives and friends in Wu District know that they can live better in Jingzhou than in Wu District, then they can attract many people from Wu District The tenants and dealers come to invest."

Liu Daogui curled up his lips: "I'm afraid it's not that easy. Not to mention whether Yu Yue will really let them go. Even if he does, he won't let them go to his manor to publicize and take away more people. The villagers and tenants. These villagers have been the most valuable asset of the Wudi family for decades or hundreds of years. They are proficient in farming. They would rather hand over the land and manor than lose these people. "

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Just like what we just talked about, why were these Wu families in Jiangbei unwilling to come to operate the land? Even if we gave very generous conditions, after the Nanyan was eliminated, they were scrambling to take over. , want to occupy the land here at a much higher price than before?"

Liu Daogui nodded: "Because it was not safe for Jiangbei to rely on Nanyan before, but after destroying Nanyan, Xuzhou in Jiangbei has become an inland area, which is very safe. These noble families are willing to come and run the business if they can't afford it early." Okay, but the situation in Jingzhou is different from Jiangbei. It is far away, and there are many owners of the land, so you can't just come and occupy it. I don't think these Wudi aristocratic families will come to run it."

Liu Muzhi said calmly: "You seem to have overlooked one thing, that is, seventy years ago, long before Huan Wen took control of Jingzhou, which family controlled the military and political power here, which was like private property?"

Liu Daogui suddenly understood: "I almost forgot this level. What do you mean, do you want to hand over Jingzhou to the Yu family and let Yu Yue take over as the governor of Jingzhou?"

Liu Muzhi sighed: "It depends on whether Yu Yue can live up to his expectations and make enough contributions in the subsequent wars. Yu Yue is a person with great ambitions and limited talents. He is not good at writing and military. Let him be a general or a general. It is not suitable to be a governor, but if you are a county guard in the mainland or a governor in a small state, it is still possible. We should all know this."

Liu Daogui gritted his teeth: "Yu Yue's ability is much worse than that of Yu Liang, Yu Yi, and Yu Bing when they were three members of the Yu family. Although Yu Liang, as prime minister, could not defeat Hulu externally, he could appease internally. He was unable to become a refugee commander, which led to the Su Jun Rebellion and almost harmed the country. However, his personal ability was still good. In the future, the Yu family was able to take Jingzhou to plot the Northern Expedition, which was mostly due to this person. Yu Yue must have the legacy of his ancestors. Even if it’s seven things, I won’t let others take away my army of servants.”

"Even if we pacify the demon thieves and Jingzhou becomes inland, it is still the most important state in the Jin Dynasty after Yangzhou and outside the capital. What's more, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemies of Lu Zong in Yongzhou in the north, and Guangzhou in the south after the war. We also need to be comforted and guarded. If we only rely on Yu Yue here, we might miss important national events."

Liu Muzhi nodded: "Because of Yu Yue's lack of ability, he is the most suitable candidate for Jingzhou. He is ambitious and talented. He wants to restore the glory of his ancestors and establish his own power and army in Jingzhou. And most of his Yu family's property was used in the previous war, so if you want to continue to maintain a legion here after the war, you can only rely on your own strength."

Liu Daogui murmured: "So, Yu Yue will take the initiative to move a large number of farmers and tenants from his hometown in Wudi to Jingzhou, cultivate the uninhabited wasteland, and use the agricultural techniques of the Yu family in the south of the Yangtze River to turn Jingzhou into a large Granary to supply the army?”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Dao rules, you have to know that the Yu family also wants to own a town and own a state. Otherwise, they would not be willing to exchange the benefits of Wu land, and those who follow the Yu family are still There are the Lu family, look for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com, the Kong family, the Fan family, and more than a dozen large and medium-sized aristocratic families in Wudi. What we have been having a headache with are these manors in Wudi. The land cannot be recovered, or after it is recovered, , cannot be governed by the Jingba brothers, and will eventually fall into the hands of these aristocratic families. Therefore, if we do not offer the big states that the aristocratic families are interested in in exchange to lure them out, we will not be able to take over the Wudi Manor, and This Wudi Manor is the source of money and food for the family, and it is also the largest granary for the blood transfusion support of Dajin."

Liu Daogui laughed: "The title of Jingzhou Governor may not necessarily make Yu Yue decide to move here, let alone that they are willing to give us the resources and benefits of Wudi. Fatty, you have such a wonderful idea." , if it were me who was Yu Yue, even if I would be successful in the subsequent wars, and given to the governor of Jingzhou, I would at most bring tens of thousands of sergeants to take office, make some deals with the powerful nobles here in Jingzhou, and let them provide the army. supply of military supplies and food and fodder, rather than the kind of vacating the cage for birds as you mentioned."

Liu Muzhi laughed: "But if there is someone who has a grudge against him, who is beside him, thinking about annexing his troops all the time, and seizing his subordinates like he did this time, he will still Will you be so free and easy?"

Liu Daogui's expression changed: "Are you talking about, Brother Xile?"

Liu Muzhi's smile gradually dissipated on his face, and his expression became serious: "My idea is that Jingzhou, that is, the area north of Jiangling and south of Yongzhou, will be allocated to Yu Yue, and Xile will be given to With Xiangzhou and Guangzhou to the south, he has a much larger territory than the previous Yuzhou. And in the land of Xiangzhou and Guangzhou, there are a large number of remaining demon thieves, which allows him to recruit his army and quickly expand his strength. , I think if Yuzhou and Yanzhou were exchanged for these two states, he would be willing to agree. The most important point is how close it is to Yu Yue." (End of this chapter)
