Liu Ba's words were very lethal, which made Liu Bei not know how to refute for a moment. Seeing that Pang Tong seemed to have something to say, he quickly waved his hand happily: "Shi Yuan has something to say?"

Pang Tong bowed and replied: "My lord, Kong Ming and Zichu's words are both reasonable, but Ziyu is not bound by ancient methods and has many miraculous effects. Tong thought that without Quanling Academy, there would be no Yangtze River newspaper, and there would be no military workshops. This is the result of the result. Now he set up a college in Jiaozhou and built a big city in Guangzhou. Perhaps it is a new cause. Why not just watch the result?"

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Shi Yuan's words are reasonable. It is a metaphor for the result of the cause. Ziyu is a good agronomist who is good at planting. I infer that there will be good results in Jiaozhou."

"Lord, I have no selfish intentions. Although General Lan is a genius, he also needs more points. As the saying goes, drowning a child is like killing a child. If you let General Lan do whatever he wants, it may not be a good thing for him..." Liu Ba continued to persuade him.

"There are very few people in the world who can be Ziyu Master. Zichu still has more confidence in him. I will let the school do not leave Jiaozhou, so there is nothing to worry about. Let's just skip this matter and discuss other matters first..." Liu Bei shook his head and mud, implying that Liu Ba's level was not enough to advise Lantian.

Zhuge Liang did not wait for Liu Ba to speak, and then raised the topic: "Lord, about setting up newspapers and magazines in Yizhou..."

Liu Bei stretched his waist and looked at everyone with a smile: "We really can't get around Ziyu. The public opinion effect of the Yangtze River Newspaper is very conducive to the governance of local governments. Should we ask the newspapers and newspapers to add more supplements to ensure that the three states are used."

"The distance between Yizhou and Jingzhou is too far. Although there is convenient connection between the Yangtze River waterway, the timeliness of such back and forth are not strong, and it is not very good to use it to govern Shu, so the supplement has no meaning." Fa Zheng analyzed.

"That would be a pity..." Liu Bei sighed.

Zhuge smiled and said, "Lord, don't feel sorry. Liang recently communicated with Yuanzhi and learned that Ziyu wanted to move the Yangtze River newspaper to Jiangling and then transfer Jiang Gongyan to Jiaozhou to issue a new newspaper. Why don't we run a Shu newspaper in Chengdu?"

"The military advisor's plan is very good. This can solve the time limit problem of Xiaozhi's statement. Should we transfer experienced people to Chengdu, or send people to Jingzhou to learn how to run a newspaper? I really want to bring Jiang Gongyan over directly, hahaha." Liu Bei smiled.

People want to drink soup and use a bowl to scoop it. You are taking the pot away directly. Zhuge Liang waved his hand quickly, "Ziyu is trying hard to make people need people, so let's leave Gong Yan for him. I have recommended the Ma brothers to assist Yuan Zhi in publishing the newspaper. Then, just transfer some people from Jiangling to Chengdu."

Liu Bei nodded, "Gong Yuan (Liao Li) made a strong comment on the Yangtze River Newspaper, and in the future, the current affairs comments column will be retained. I think Wen Xiu (Xu Jing) is very suitable for comments. I will leave this matter to the military advisor for you."

"Yes." Zhuge Liang held his fists and took the order, and then did not forget to praise him. "The lord is good at using Xu Wenxiu (Xu Jing)'s talent and reputation, and the effect of Shu newspapers will definitely not be weak in the future."

"People can do their best." Liu Bei nodded.

The following people continued to discuss political affairs, and everyone intentionally avoided the topic of Lantian, Jiaozhou, so there was no more intense voices like Liu Ba in the hall.

With Liu Bei, a powerful "lubricant", officials in Chengdu are very harmonious, and even conflicts in interests are secretly digested, and they are rarely placed on the table and fight like Jiangdong.

After the court meeting, Liu Bei left Zhuge Liang alone to hold a small meeting to discuss the appointment of the Pang De brothers and Ma Chao.

Zhuge Liang had outstanding vision and outstanding internal affairs. When he was in Jingzhou, he was Liu Bei's right-hand man. After taking down Yizhou, he was even more worthy of his object. He would discuss with him whenever there was a big deal.

"Ziyu has acquainted with Meng Qi (Ma Chao) in Jingzhou, and sent people to Hanzhong to rescue his remnants, saying that he was preparing for my future capture of Liangzhou. Is he taking too much? Pang Rou and Pang De made it difficult for me to settle down."

Liu Bei seemed a little embarrassed in his words. Ma Zhui had a long history of bad deeds. Seeing that he and Ma Dai entered Sichuan alone and had no support, Liu Bei had a high official position and a generous salary, but he could not easily give out actual military power, and only used his name but not his power.

He sent Ma Chao to Jingzhou to serve as the governor of Linju to assist Guan Yu, and intended to separate him from Ma Dai, so that he would not have the chance to repeat the same mistakes, but now Lantian has a problem with him.

Zhuge Liang understood Liu Bei's thoughts, and then replied: "No matter what arrangements the lord makes, he should send someone to Jiameng Pass to pick him up first. Otherwise, the lord will be criticized and be dissatisfied. After they arrive in Chengdu to observe, they will be transferred."

"Bi has sent Ji Bo (Yi Ji) and Bo Zhan (Ma Dai) to welcome him, and he should return to Chengdu soon." Liu Bei replied.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "It's so good that the Pang brothers escaped from Hanzhong. They should be very clear about Zhang Lu's background. When the lord attacks Hanzhong, they must be used."

"It's better for the military advisor to think carefully." Liu Bei agreed deeply after hearing this.

In the late lunar month, Yiji and Ma Dai led Pang De and the other two back to Chengdu, and Liu Bei personally held a banquet to welcome them.

Seeing that Pang De was good, Liu Bei loved it very much, after the reception banquet, he found Zhuge Liang and told him about his idea of ​​signing Pang De as a miscellaneous general.

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly stopped him: "General Pang first came to be a competing person but had not made any achievements. If he was awarded an excessively high official position, what would other generals who fought bloodyly think? The lord's current official position is General Zuo. I suggest that it is better to proceed step by step and not to be granted the title after he made his meritorious service."

After taking over Yizhou, there were many voices in private. I hope that Liu Bei could have higher official titles and rewards, because in this way, the people below could prosper. Especially after Cao Cao became the title and became a duke, the voice was louder, and some people even secretly suggested that Liu Bei be king.

With the lessons of Yuan Shu's success in his early years, and with the instructions of Lantian to "respond to become king", Liu Bei has always been very restrained in his reputation, but he is indeed helpless now. Although he now has control over three states, his official position is only the left general of the court, and the miscellaneous general is also the most capable official position. His generous position is not as good as that of Sun Quan in Jiangdong.

"Okay, I can only give you more money and get promoted after making meritorious service. However, they did not ask to go to Linju. What is the reason for military advisor?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Good birds break trees and live on, and wise ministers choose their masters to work. Meng Qi has now surrendered to the lord. If the Pang brothers insist on following General Ma to Linju, wouldn't they mount Meng Qi on the fire and roast them and make the lord suspicious? Although they are martial men, they are definitely not reckless men..."

"The military advisor makes sense. I know how to settle them, but what should Song Chen do?"

"Song Chen is a soldier from the army. The lord just asks Ziyu to reward him. Why should he be so worried?"

The next day, Liu Bei appointed the Pang brothers as General of the Central Army, and kept Pang Rou under the tent of Zhao Yun in Chengdu to listen to him, and sent Pang De to Langzhong to find Zhang Fei to report.
