After finishing all these things, Chen Yuan had time to pay attention to the war in Nanyang.
After all, the Nanyang Yellow Turbans were extraordinary. Even though Liu Bei took Zhang Fei to help Qin Jie, there was still a stalemate.
Liu Bei also mentioned it in several letters.
It's just that at that time, Chen Yuan was busy clearing out the clan traitors in the territory and didn't pay attention.
At this time, when I took a closer look, I discovered something was wrong.
This Nanyang Yellow Turban is too strong.
Zhang Fei, a second-grade magician, could easily be defeated if there was no master of the same level on the opposite side.
So, there is a second-grade strongman among the Nanyang Yellow Turbans?
But Chen Yuan searched his head and couldn't remember what a tyrannical figure this Nanyang Yellow Turban was.
He carefully read the letter Liu Bei sent to him again, and there was no mention of any powerful figures among the Yellow Turbans.
But for some reason, once Zhang Fei releases the Dharma Aspect, the Dharma Aspect will also rise in the opposite camp, and he will be on par with Zhang Fei. This makes people very confused.
However, Chen Yuan didn't worry too much. After all, Liu Bei took Xi Zhicai with him. Xi Zhicai's resourcefulness was considered to be the strongest among the small group in the entire late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Chen Yuan was still very confident in Xi Zhicai, and it was only a matter of time before the Nanyang Yellow Turbans were settled.
It’s just that I don’t know how many talents Zhicai can recruit back. Chen Yuan is missing one and it’s heartbreaking. They are all great talents.
After everything was arranged, Chen Yuan began to prepare for a meeting with the county magistrates.
There are three main things conveyed at this meeting.
One is to swear Liu Bei's sovereignty over Jingzhou.
One is to carry out the policy of farming.
One is about pardoning clan traitors.
Each of these three things is important.
Although Chen Yuan had asked Tai Shici and Zhao Yun to post and distribute the documents regarding the pardon of the clan traitors, he was afraid that these county magistrates would violate it.
Regarding the virtues of these officials, Chen Yuanna, who was a civil servant in his previous life, had quite a lot of experience.
Therefore, Chen Yuan had to find a way to ensure that these people and the county magistrate could implement the state and animal husbandry's farmland policy and the order to pardon clan traitors.
These two policies are complementary to each other.
The best way is to set up a garrison captain.
In fact, the best candidate to take charge of the farming affairs was not Gu Yong, but Zao Zhi.
He was from Yangzhai, Yingchuan. This person was a key figure in the success of Cao Cao's farming in history.
He pays great attention to mulberry farming and is very knowledgeable about agricultural production.
Therefore, Chen Yuan tried to write a letter, using the farming strategy as bait to see if he could seduce the farming boss.
What Chen Yuan didn't expect was that he succeeded.
Zao Zhi is now the military commander of the Prefectural Mufu. Chen Yuan has reported this to Liu Bei and approved it.
The rank of the commander of the army was six hundred stones, and he had a commander of the army under his command.
Chen Yuan and Zao Zhi refined the farming strategy, and Chen Yuan simply took over and used the farming strategy that had been developed and matured by Cao Cao in history.
Treat the land and the people, divide the land, plan the people and appoint officials.
Corresponding to the land and the people, it is generally based on the appropriateness of the land, and determines the number of people recruited and the scale of the farmland there.
The art of dividing land is to allocate land to individuals, and then divide it in half according to the amount of harvest.
The key point in planning the people and setting up officials is to allocate officials according to the number of people who live in the fields, and not to make them indiscriminately.
These three policies can be said to have greatly developed compared to the previous farming.
Because in the past, farming was based on cattle transporting grain, farmers in farming paid rent to the government based on the number of cattle they rented from the government.
There are great disadvantages here. The number of leased cattle is used to transport grain. If there is a good harvest, we cannot collect more. In case of floods and droughts, we have to reduce the amount. This is too disadvantageous.
The art of dividing fields solves this problem.
In short, after a discussion between Chen Yuan and Zao Zhi, Zao Zhi was immediately shocked to see Chen Yuan as a man of heaven and regarded him as a capable man in farming.
Chen Yuan was ashamed. What did he know? He just took out the things that others had used in advance.
Therefore, Chen Yuan did not take this as a credit at all, and left all the farming matters to Zao Zhi. Zao Zhi went to inspect which places in Nanjun were suitable for farming, and he also gave him the right to recruit farming sima.
In short, Chen Yuan fully let Zao Zhi know what it means to be trustless in employing people and not to use people who are suspicious.
Zao Zhi was deeply moved and immediately took his people to Nanjun to investigate.
There is no need to inspect the area near Xiangyang, because those suitable for farming have already been planted by Chen Yuan.
After Zaozhi came, he even handed over the Xiangyang farmland and Chen Yuan to him, and he managed everything.
On this day, all the county magistrates from the seventeen cities gathered in Xiangyang City.
Of course, Guo Yong, the governor of Nanjun, also came to attend the meeting.
No matter what, Liu Bei is the shepherd of Jingzhou. As the governor of Nanjun, there is no reason to ignore the order of the state and not attend the meeting.
If Guo Yong really did this, Chen Yuan would not be polite to him and would directly take his position as prefect.
Now it is different from before. The governor has no power to appoint and remove the prefect, but the state pastor is different.
The Zhou Mu has the military and political power of a state, and even the prefect is within the scope of appointment and dismissal by the Zhou Mu.
Guo Yong also knew this, so he came to Xiangyang to participate in the meeting.
Otherwise, in the past, the prefect could compete with the governor.
After all, you, the governor, only have the power of supervision.
Before the meeting, Chen Yuan paid a special visit to Guo Yong.
Let's not talk about Guo Yong's own abilities. To be able to be the governor of a county, at least his family background is extraordinary.
And since they were so cooperative, Chen Yuan couldn't help but express his feelings.
From the bottom of his heart, Chen Yuan still hoped that Guo Yong could cooperate with the state government.
Therefore, Chen Yuan's visit to Guo Yong was as a courtesy to a junior.
What should I say about Guo Yong? He is a standard member of an Eastern Han Dynasty family.
Ability is there, but not strong.
He has a good family background, but he is not too strong.???
He is neither sharp nor submissive.
Generally speaking, he is a relatively mediocre person, which makes Chen Yuan quite disappointed.
Especially after looking at this person's attributes.
[Hero: Guo Yong]
[Position: Nanjun Prefect]
[Level: Level 65]
[Strength: 30]
[Intelligence: 68]
【Politics:65】
【Commander:20】
[Skill: None]
Yes, this is a weak scumbag who doesn’t have any third-grade cultivation.
This position of prefect was probably obtained through some kind of relationship.
Chen Yuan has already seen the pattern by looking at the attribute board.
Level represents cultivation level.
60-70 is the fourth grade, 70 and above is the third grade, 80 and above is the second grade, and 90 and above is the first grade.
So far, Chen Yuan has never seen a 90-year-old.
Even Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other second-level experts are only around 88 or 89.
It is still one level away from breaking through the first level.
Don't think it's just a small level, if you break through it, it's a new world.
Because these people are not yet at their peak, it is inevitable that they will reach the first level when they reach their peak.
After being disappointed, Chen Yuan didn't want to talk too much with him. As long as he could cooperate with the Prefectural Mufu, Chen Yuan would give him face and let him continue to serve as the prefect of Nanjun.
At most, after a period of time, we can give him some exercise and let him go to other states to become a governor, or go to Luoyang.
Although Guo Yong is not very capable, he is very knowledgeable.
After hearing the meaning of Chen Yuan's words, he was not angry.
Being a prefect is not a job. It would be better if you can enter Luoyang.
Therefore, Guo Yong's attitude is very good and he said that he will actively cooperate with the instructions and policies of the prefecture and counties.
Seeing that Guo Yong was so knowledgeable, Chen Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
