Generally speaking, after Liu Jiajun recovered southern Liaoning and moved towards stability, the imperial court will send its administrative personnel and government personnel to effectively manage the area. Liu Bu's army is only responsible for protecting and guarding this place. There is nothing else to do with local administrative affairs.
But Liu Bu is sure that the imperial court will soon be too busy to take care of southern Liaoning or even Denglai town. Since the imperial court can't manage this place, it's up to his Liu family army to control it. Liu Bu knows that although JianNu was defeated here, their main force has not been fatally hit and still has the power of World War I, They won't be willing to fail.
Moreover, they all regard Liu Jiajun as a confidant. They just want to mobilize Liu Jiajun for the time being to support the battlefields of Daming. When Liu Jiajun becomes a tired army, it is when they beat Liu Jiajun, but Liu Bu now feels that he has seen through the other party's plan, So he simply ignored the other party's practice and did his own thing.
After defeating the JianNu army, Liu Bu immediately turned to local construction and management.
Liu Bu knew that he didn't leave them much time. If they didn't make good use of this time, they would waste their hard won opportunities in vain.
Liu Bu understood that JianNu couldn't give up the in southern Liaoning. Now they temporarily give up southern Liaoning just because they wanted to mobilize Liu's army and defeat them through other ideas. When JianNu found that such a plan could not be realized, they would continue to send troops to attack here.
Even if they did not send troops to attack here, they would send their cavalry to attack the military fort here, attack the farmers and destroy the farmland, so as to ensure that the Ming army could not have a foothold here.
If Daming wants to have a foothold here, he must complete the cultivation of farmland here. If the food here can be self-sufficient, it means that Daming takes root in this land again. Even Jianru knows this, so Liu Buhe decided to take advantage of the hard won opportunity to arrange the local refugees and idle soldiers to open up wasteland and land, I hope I can use this half a year to grow some rice.
Southern Liaoning has a vast area and rich products. If it is used well, it can become the overlord of Liu Jiajun.
Liu Bumei is now busy every day. After there is no war, he is even busier. He is mainly responsible for arranging the work of the people. His first responsibility is the aftercare of the dead. His second responsibility is to organize the local people and farmers to start farming.
In previous years, the local people have no interest and no motivation to cultivate, because as long as you plant a field, it is either destroyed by JianNu or robbed by JianNu at the time of harvest. After such a hard season, you will eventually have nothing, and even lead to the disaster of killing yourself.
Even if the Ming army controlled this area, they still didn't dare to farm at ease, because they knew that the Ming army was not the opponent of JianNu at all, and would be defeated by JianNu sooner or later. They didn't know who they were working for in the end?
However, after Liu Jiajun took control of this place, this was different. Everyone was full of confidence in Liu Jiajun and thought that they could hold this place. This was because Huang Taiji, the leader of JianNu, led their main force to attack and attack the area. They were defeated and returned, which meant that they had the ability to resist JianNu, People who can defend this place and know JianNu know that they basically do their best to attack this time. Since they do their best, they can't help Liu Jiajun, which means that they can't help Liu Jiajun at all.
This means that Liu Jiajun has become the overlord of this land. If this land is owned by the Ming court, the people are estimated to have little interest in farming, because even if they work hard and work hard, the grain eventually cultivated will be taken away by the government, but Liu Jiajun is different.
Now Liu Jiajun has gained their reputation and gained the support of the people. This is because Liu Jiajun also adopted the policy of light corvee and low tax when they control Denglai town. Although they strongly encourage farming, they will not collect taxes from the people. Liu Jiajun clearly sees the land tax. They mainly focus on their business tax, Put it in the business tax.
In Denglai area, after several consecutive seasons of cultivation, the people have had a bumper harvest year after year, and the grain is piled up in the warehouse. Liu Jiajun will not rob the people's grain, but has only one requirement. If he can't eat it all, he must sell it to Liu Jiajun. The price is the market price, which is very fair and reasonable.
It is not like other landlords. When there is a good harvest, they press down on food prices. When there is a disaster, they raise food prices. The food prices introduced by Liu Jiajun are the normal prices in normal years, which also convinces all the people, and they are willing to sell food to Liu Jiajun.
The Liu family is a well-known charity. They used to be like this. The Liu family has a very good reputation in the local area. The local people scramble to cultivate their fields and work for them. Unlike other landlords, being tenants is like slaves. People can't eat enough.
The slogan of the Liu family is that if you work for me, you must eat saturated food and wear warm clothes, which is the most basic.
With the expansion of the Liu family's influence, their reputation began to spread to southern Liaoning. Everyone knows that southern Liaoning is now even the Liu family's sphere of influence, that is, the Liu family's territory. As long as it is where the Liu family army is located, they can protect the safety of the people, and even the Liu family's Lord is willing to sign a contract with the people.
This contract is to encourage the people to cultivate at ease. If they can't keep the local area and make JianNu destroy the cultivated land, they are willing to make compensation. Looking at the world, several officials and soldiers dare to sign such contracts, which makes the people start to cultivate the land for them at ease.
Liu Bu started his business here with all his strength, but he found a place where his father was trapped. When they fought, they had no problems. They planned strategies and fought a decisive battle for thousands of miles, but they were a little blind and didn't know what to do when they were asked to manage the place. After all, they were professional soldiers and let them fight, It's an expert. It's a little blind to let them do administrative management. Liu Bu doesn't have this experience. It's embarrassing for him to manage such a large area.
At this time, Zhou Wentong, the former governor of Jiaozhou, volunteered to Denglai Governor Liu Yuanqiao and was willing to come to southern Liaoning to manage this place.
Zhou Wentong is a disciple of Liu bu. Liu Bu values him a little, so Liu Yuanqiao looks at him a little differently, so he was appointed governor of Jiaozhou. He manages the core area of their Liu family. Liu Yuanqiao appreciates Zhou Wentong's initiative to ask for instructions and go to the most difficult place. He said: "Xiang Fang, I'm very glad that you can take the initiative to help Qingzhi. You can rest assured that I will never treat you badly. The Liu family will never treat honest people badly."
Zhou Wentong said to him, "thank you, sir. If it hadn't been cultivated by two adults, the junior officer wouldn't be today. The junior officer knows that Liu Shuai is invincible in the war, but he can't manage the place, so he's willing to work for him."
Liu Yuanqiao said, "OK! I appreciate you and do a good job. You won't have a bright future."
That is, Liu Yuanqiao dares to say such a sentence. It is important to know that in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, the origin is very important. For a person with an improper origin like Zhou Wentong, it is an accident that he can become a magistrate of the county. It is an exceptional reference that he wants to be a magistrate or even a higher-level official, which is impossible.
He could not pass the nomination of the Ministry of officials, nor could he pass the interpretation and election of the Ministry of officials.
However, Liu Yuanqiao is different here. Liu Yuanqiao himself is born in Yinchu prison. He doesn't set the rules like those officials with Jinshi background, that is, he can't be a beautiful official without Jinshi background.
Liu Yuanqiao is not a Jinshi, but he has also served as governor of Denglai, guarding one side and becoming a local feudal official. Therefore, in terms of employment, he will not consider the other party's origin, but the other party's ability and loyalty.
Liu Yuanqiao is expensive to be a governor, and he controls the three lands of the area. The three prefect of the three prefect has to approve by the Ministry of government. He can not speak for a word. But he has the final say to the following prefect and magistrate. The following are the state of knowing and the know number. If Liu Yuan Qiao is appointed, the Department of the government will also appoint the first to sit there.
At present, among the three magistrates of the three East prefectures, Deng Bingwen, the former governor of Dengzhou, died in the civil commotion, and Ma Dongfan died of madness immediately. Liu Yuanqiao was on the top. After Liu buqiao left office, he recommended one of his good friends to serve as the governor of Laizhou. However, the most important governor of Dengzhou was appointed by the imperial court, but it was completely overhead by Governor Liu Yuanqiao of Denglai The government order of the magistrate's office is effective in the magistrate's office. When it comes out of the magistrate's office, it is nothing.
Among the original three eastern prefectures, only the Qingzhou magistrate Fang Ruo Wu has been motionless and stable as Mount Tai. He is called a sitting cannon and a tumbler in officialdom. His trick as an official is to trust whoever serves as governor Denglai without hesitation. He never opposes his immediate boss. What his boss says is what he pursues. What is the so-called inaction It doesn't matter. The people at the top manage the work at the bottom. He is even a sign. He doesn't care about anything as long as it doesn't hinder him from making money.
Liu Yuanqiao can not decide the appointment of any government office in the three eastern government, but he has the final say of other things. As the place they controlled, the place is very vast, and it is already equivalent to the number of land in Daming mainland. They need a chief executive to manage such a huge area. Actually, he is looking for a candidate. His original candidate is optimistic. His important aide, Wang Wendong.
But since Zhou Wentong volunteered and volunteered, he decided that he would be the prefect of southern Liaoning.
There is no saying of southern Liaoning government in the Ming Dynasty, and there are no government and counties in the whole East of Liaoning and outside the pass. They are all under the jurisdiction of the military. Under the jurisdiction of the military, there is no way to build local areas.
But Liu Yuanqiao knows one thing very well, that is, if Liu Jiajun wants to have a foothold in this land and turn it into a front-line base against slave building, he must carry out effective administrative management on it. They must send competent people to manage this place, so that he can explore the potential of this place, make use of his resources and help them to the greatest extent Liu family.
Zhou Wentong is mean and greedy for money, but his ability is really good. Especially after he took refuge in the Liu family, he worked with the Liu family wholeheartedly. In the past, he would corrupt bribes and pervert the law, but after working with the Liu family, he was recognized as an honest official and did very well. The people praised him, so he was in charge of the southern Liaoning government, Liu Yuanqiao also expressed welcome and satisfaction.
Therefore, Liu Yuanqiao directly appointed Zhou Wentong as the governor of southern Liaoning.
