Chapter 616 Claims
"What?"
The first person to express his surprise was Lei Yuan.
His surprise made Lu Su and Lu Dai even more surprised. They all knew that Jian Yong had a bit unruly and funny personality. It turned out that even the senior officials in his own camp were joking like this? Did Mr. Xianhe deliberately try to surprise everyone? Or did he have a chat with Lei Yuan and the two of them played the show together?
Lei Yuan really doesn't know.
For a while, he was busy splitting the division. By the reason of rewarding military merits, he stripped a large number of soldiers, their families and relatives of the people and turned them into small landlords and self-cultivated farmers who controlled the land.
However, the purpose of the split is to make these people a tentacle of Lei Yuan's deep control of Yidu County. It is not to make the originally closely connected Lei family of Lujiang, which was dependent on the people, and to make these small landlords turn to local towns and tyrants, collude with internal and external forces.
To this end, the most effective way is to take advantage of the slack farming, through the community and the community, drive the people to build infrastructure on a large scale, and then strengthen the county government's management system through construction.
This winter, Yidu County used much more manpower than last year.
Considering that the Cao and Liu families were exhausted in Jingzhou and there was no possibility of a war in a short period of time, various military facilities such as garrisons and fortresses were not needed for the time being. Road construction had already achieved great results last year. Therefore, during this period, officials from all over Yidu County devoted most of their energy to water conservancy.
Four of the six counties in Yidu County are located between the deep mountains of the Xiajiang River. Even without the chaos in modern times, there is no water conservancy development at all. It is clearly based on the river, but the rainy season is deeply affected by waterlogging and lacks a stable water source in autumn and winter. This leads to a low yield of fields per mu, and the yield of millet and wheat is about 150 kilograms. Compared with Lexiang County, which was carefully developed by Leiyuan, the difference is as great as the Lexiang County.
The development of Lexiang was earlier than that of the other counties and achieved a bumper harvest this year. Not only did the original owners and self-cultivated farmers not waste their time in vain, but the industries in the hands of various families, such as those who manufacture farm tools and those who raise oxen, also gained great benefits.
By the time this group of soldiers was dispersed to the other counties, Lei Yuan organized a larger labor force with the grain and cattle, horses and animals from Le Township. For their own fields, the military and civilians burst out with great enthusiasm for their labor. They repaired river channels, strengthened dams, opened up dams, diversion rivers, and added keel water trucks.
At the same time, more and more Baman and Jingman came out of the deep mountains to surrender. Fortunately, the officials under the Captain Hujingman had sufficient plans for this. At the end of last year, a special department was set up to supervise the barbarians of various departments, which not only played the role of these labor forces, but also coordinated the relationship with many chiefs and commanders.
Just as Lei Yuan was so busy that he couldn't light the ground, just the morning before yesterday, Jian Yong let the Yidao City go straight to see him. He did not tell the reason, but only showed the talisman from General Left Grand Sima's Mansion, asking Lei Yuan to mobilize his troops and accompany the upcoming Lu Dai's troops to the east.
Most of Lei Yuan's troops were scattered at this moment, and only Ma Dai's troops could move at any time. Lei Yuan led Ma Dai and others to the east, and along the way, he summoned the troops from various camps in the Xiajiang River to gather troops to Yufu Town to wait.
I thought it was just an escort mission, but I was like escorting Lu Dai's troops into Sichuan. Who would have thought that when the two sides met, Jian Yong would reveal such a big piece of information?
Shortly after Lei Yuan got his son, he subconsciously calculated the time. It seems that in the short two months between Mrs. Sun's entry into Shu and Jingyi's army sent troops to Hanzhong, Duke Xuande did not put aside any military and national affairs, and both domestic affairs. He is worthy of being a hero from all over the north and the south. Although he is over fifty years old, his energy is not inferior to that of young people.
Thinking of this, he shook his head again, feeling not respectful enough. Looking at Jian Yong again, he laughed loudly, very proud. Lu Su and Lu Dai were both very happy.
Lu Su actually brought two jars of wine with him. At this time, he excitedly opened a jar, and took a few sips of it, then gave it to Jian Yong. Jian Yong took a few sips and handed it to Lu Dai. Lu Dai did not drink it quickly, and held the jar to signal to Lei Yuan: "Continue it, please!"
Everyone knows that Lei Yuan is not good at drinking. But this is indeed a happy event and cannot refuse it now. He holds up the wine jar and tastes it briefly.
"Those are not enough!" Lu Su took the wine jar and smiled at Jian Yong: "Mr. Xianhe, since you have accepted this happy event, we must celebrate it well."
Contemporary heroes and their relationship with each other does not prevent them from killing each other to death. For example, when Yuan and Cao were in alliance in the past, Cao Gong married Yuan Tan's daughter for his son Cao Zheng; later he wanted to win over Sun's family, and then married Sun Quan's cousin and Sun Ben, the prefect of Yuzhang, for his son Cao Zhang.
Even under the command of Duke Xuande, Zhang Fei's wife Xiahou was Xiahou Yuan's niece. She did not see Huang Zhong waving a knife in Hanzhong, and she had no hesitation at all.
But these relatives are still relatively remote.
On that day, Sun and Liu alliance, Duke Xuande went to Jingkou in person and married the sister of Wu Hou. Once the wife of Sun gave birth to a son, Duke Xuande's legitimate son was the nephew of Wu Hou!
Previously, Xuande Gong had been in a military life for decades, and he rarely lived in a stable place, and was defeated and fled. During the most embarrassing time, he lost his legitimate family, and even his children could not be preserved.
When he was in Xinye, he was nearly fifty years old and had no descendants. Then he adopted Kou Feng, the descendant of the Luohou Kou family, as his adopted son and changed his name to Liu Feng. Later, his concubine Mrs. Gan gave birth to another son, Liu Chan.
Because Liu Feng is good at fighting and Liu Chan is a concubine's son, his subordinates had called the two of them together, so Liu Feng still still has expectations for the status of the heir of Xuande Gong. But Liu Chan is the bloodline of Xuande Gong after all. As he grew up, more and more people regarded him as his heir.
But if Mrs. Sun gave birth to a child, the status of Liu Feng and Liu Chan could not be compared with that. The huge role of this legitimate son in the Sun and Liu families is even more difficult to estimate.
Of course, Duke Xuande was not an emperor, but as a descendant of the imperial family, he was in charge of the major policies of Jingyi and the states, and his authority was almost comparable to that of the emperor.
Since the Han Dynasty, the imperial family has valued relatives very much. I don’t know how many emperors, and the empress dowager relied on the power of relatives to govern the court. I don’t know how many relatives served as prime ministers and generals in charge of power. Those who are far away will not talk about him. He Jin, the general during the time of Emperor Ling, borrowed the capital of his uncle and took over the power of the government, and monopolized the power of the court. His origin was just a butcher!
So, when this legitimate son succeeded to the throne, Wu Hou was away as a powerful uncle and Mrs. Sun as her biological mother, how much influence would they have on the Liu regime?
On that day, the Marquis of Wu married his sister to Duke Xuande. Lu Su was an important counselor and participated in the whole process. He knew that the Marquis of Wu was to restrain Liu Bei in Jiangdong, and Zhou Lang came forward to drive Guan and Zhang and others to fight. When Liu Bei left, his legitimate son was the nephew of Wu Hou, so the military and political forces of Jingnan could naturally return to Jiangdong.
However, later, Duke Xuande actually persuaded Wu Hou and escaped and returned to Jingnan. His initial beautiful plan was vain. After that, Duke Xuande once placed Mrs. Sun in Chanling alone, and continuously strengthened Liu Chan's status as his heir, which was to deal with it.
As for this inside story, Wu Hou and his close conspirators were very clear; while Xuande Gong's confidant ministers understood it very well for a while.
That's why Lu Su asked this. Jian Yong knew that what he asked seemed to be Xuande Gong's arrangement for celebration, but in fact he was testing what Duke Xuande was about to this unborn child.
At that moment, Jian Yong smiled more and more: "The lord told me to report good news to Jiangdong, and he also specifically ordered that after giving birth to Lin'er, we must ask Wu Hou's proposal."
