At the end of July, when Zhang Xi was busy directing 1,500 people to build fields around the lake, personnel changes occurred in Changsha County.
Liao Li was transferred to General Zuo's Mansion as a lieutenant, and Pan Jun became the new governor of Changsha.
Liao Li was quite happy with this personnel change. He felt that this was an important step for him to enter Liu Bei's decision-making level.
Zhang Xi was quite surprised.
Zhang Xi's original idea was for Liu Bei to write a letter to criticize Liao Li and ask him to cooperate with his work. So he just changed it? !
As for Pan Jun, shouldn't he be engaged in the governance of Jingzhou? !
Because "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, many people think that Pan Jun is also one of the murderers who killed Guan Yu. But to be honest, Pan Jun is really unjust.
Pan Jun did not get along with Guan Yu, and it was true that he later surrendered to Soochow, but when it came to Guan Yu, Pan Jun really had little responsibility.
In the Battle of Xiangfan, because Pan Jun and Guan Yu did not get along, Guan Yu did not take Pan Jun with him, but asked him to stay in Jiangling.
But who would have known that Shiren and Mi Fang would surrender so quickly. Pan Jun was just a civil servant, and the military power of Jiangling was also in Mi Fang's hands. He had no military power and couldn't resist even if he wanted to.
Of course, Pan Jun also had a bad thing, that is, after struggling for a while, he finally surrendered to Jiangdong. Compared with Liao Hua who had to fake his death and return to Liu Bei, but these days, after all, there are only a few who die, and most people are still "good birds". "Dwelling on wood".
At least Pan Jun refused to serve as an official after Jiangling City was destroyed. Sun Quan personally invited him, and then he agreed to submit to Jiangdong.
His character and integrity are not big faults, so Zhang Xi's attitude towards Pan Jun is relatively peaceful.
As for the ability, it can reassure both Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei. How can the person who allows him to serve as the second-in-command in Jingzhou be inferior in ability? !
The first thing Pan Jun did after taking office was to go to the west bank of the Xiangjiang River to inspect the newly developed camps.
On the one hand, Pan Jun is very interested in Zhang Xi's method of transforming swamps into fertile farmland. On the other hand, this is also a way to improve relations with Zhang Xi.
Others don't know how Liao Li was removed. As a core figure of the Jingzhou faction, how can he, Pan Jun, know? !
Although Liao Li's emotional intelligence was too low and he brought it upon himself, Pan Jun also knew that in the Liu Bei Group, squeezing people like Liu Yan was not a big problem, but he must not offend those Yuan Cong faction who hold real power, otherwise Liu Bei would definitely I won’t favor the Jingzhou faction.
So, Pan Jun is much smarter than Liao Like, and he set up a relationship with Zhang Xi as soon as he took office.
Then... Pan Jun felt that Liao Li's withdrawal was not unjust.
Such a large swamp has been turned into a field, and there are clear facts in front of him. Liao Li actually didn't even take a look at it. He kept thinking that doing so was against nature. I really doubted that Liao Li was stupid because of his studies. .
Why, these are all fields, the kind of fields that can grow food. Who would dislike having too much land at home these days? !
As soon as Pan Jun saw the camp developed by Zhang Xi, the dozen hectares of rice fields outside the camp, and the more than twenty hectares of land that were still being cleared and would be cleared soon. His first reaction was whether his Pan family could have a hand in it. .
The Liu Bei Group has no money, but these days, the aristocratic family has money.
As long as Liu Bei agrees, the Pan family of Jingzhou will definitely take the lead in developing southwest Changsha. All they need to do is give them part of the developed land.
Pan Jun tentatively asked Zhang Xi, but Zhang Xi didn't think too much. He just said that he was not sure and had to wait for Zhuge Liang and his lord's decision.
Then Pan Jun began to wonder whether he should unite with several Jingzhou aristocratic families to lobby Liu Bei.
Of course, Pan Jun knew Liu Bei. This lord was not easy to fool, and it was impossible for him to give all the cultivated land to the family.
However, our aristocratic family pays to help you cultivate the fields, and then you give us some fields as reward. Isn't this excessive? !
Yunmengze has become so big. If all of this is done, even if it can only be divided into ten or two, for the aristocratic family, it will be the foundation of a century-old family.
Now Pan Jun feels a little regretful. You said that a place as big as Bachu Lake was given to Jiangdong. This lord is too wasteful.
As for Liao Li, who is Liao Li? !
What a shame for such a courageous and short-sighted generation.
Pan Jun was even more enthusiastic about Zhang Xi at the moment. In Zhang Xi's camp, people were needed, and money and food were allocated without any hesitation.
Moreover, Pan Jun himself also lived in the camp for more than a month. On the one hand, he asked to read the settlement information left by Zhang Xi, and on the other hand, he carefully observed Zhang Xi's camp establishment and daily management methods.
Pan Jun even kindly offered to help Zhang Xi streamline the text of some information and standardize and document Zhang Xi's camp management to facilitate the effective implementation of subsequent settlements.
Zhang Xi's favorable impression of Pan Jun immediately increased significantly. He is a good person!
Of course Pan Jun is not a good person, and his current thoughts are not simple.
On the one hand, he is the governor of Changsha, and these settlements are all carried out in Changsha. As his job, Pan Jun has the obligation to get familiar with them as soon as possible.
On the other hand, if Liu Bei really agreed with the family to intervene in the land transformation, then he, Pan Jun, would have access to this information immediately, which would allow the Pan family to develop more land better and faster than other families.
There is no telling that one day in the future, the Pan family will become the number one family in Jingnan, comparable to the Pang family in Xiangyang.
Of course, as a child of an aristocratic family, you can't just talk "for profit", so Pan Rui was kind-hearted and just did a "little favor" for Zhang Xi.
In this way, with Pan Jun's full support, the reclamation work in Zhangxi went very smoothly.
In Jiangling City, Liu Bei, who had just moved to Jiangling, was already annoyed to death by the Jingzhou aristocratic families.
Liu Bei welcomed the Jingzhou family's willingness to serve as officials to help them govern.
But why do these people bring up Jingnan's swamp reconstruction if they have nothing to do? !
Of course Liu Bei knew that this was a major event that would be passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, but he had no money now and really couldn't help vigorously transform those swamps.
As for the words of the Jingzhou family, they are just kidding about whether they can help with money or something. If families like you pay, then can these transformed lands still belong to me, Liu Bei? !
Liu Bei knew very well what the aristocratic families were like. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't do anything without the aristocratic families these days, Liu Bei wouldn't want to deal with these aristocratic families.
So, Liu Bei is very annoyed now, really annoyed.
On the one hand, he really wanted to use the power of the aristocratic family to develop Jingnan, but on the other hand, Liu Bei was worried that Jingnan would be occupied by the aristocratic family, and he would end up making wedding clothes for others.
Zhuge Liang didn't have a good solution to this matter. After all, the aristocratic families these days don't care whether it is legal or not to annex land.
And this matter cannot be postponed indefinitely, because the aristocratic family is not a fool.
During the wars at the end of the Han Dynasty, the population dropped sharply and the land was vacant. Therefore, the central court and local princes encouraged the people to take the initiative to reclaim wasteland to grow food. Legally speaking, the aristocratic family did not need Liu Bei's consent. They could do it themselves. Send people to Jingnan to develop the swamp.
Those swamps are so ownerless wastelands that they can no longer be ownerless.
However, because the cost of reclamation was too high and human resources were insufficient, the family discussed with Liu Bei. They paid for it and asked Liu Bei to mobilize laborers and work together to develop the land.
If Liu Bei really refuses to let go, then it is not impossible for the aristocratic families to unite, release some hidden Dingkou, form a joint development team, and encroach on Jingnan bit by bit.
After all, aristocratic families all survive on a hundred-year basis, and Liu Bei. God knows whether this Jingzhou will still be Liu Bei's territory in a hundred years.
The aristocratic family has time to waste, but Liu Bei definitely can't waste these people.
So, thinking from this point of view, Zhuge Liang still advised Liu Bei. If that doesn't work, we should first set aside an area and create a "demonstration area" in Zhang Xi's words.
First, let’s see what the actual results are and whether these aristocratic families can cooperate.
Secondly, it can also give these aristocratic families a little hope, so that they will not get into trouble with Liu Bei because of this matter.
Liu Bei thought about it over and over, but still couldn't make a quick decision.
Matters related to fields, population, food, and taxation are not so easy to decide at once.
Liu Bei's original idea was to let Zhuge Liang try to plan it first, and then convene his civil servants to discuss it and formulate a plan that would suit everyone's interests.
But soon, Liu Bei no longer had this intention.
Not only did Liu Bei not have this idea, even Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong did not have this idea.
Zhang Fei, the governor of Yidu County, sent a message saying that Fazheng, who left Jingzhou at the beginning of the year, came to Jingzhou from Yizhou again.
But this time, it is said that it was because Cao Cao had won the battle in Guanzhong at the beginning of the year and wanted to advance into Hanzhong. Liu Zhang was afraid that Cao Cao would not be able to resist Cao Cao's westward march to Yizhou, so he specially came to ask Liu Bei to lead troops into Bashu to help Liu Zhang, his fellow sect, march north into Hanzhong and resist Cao Cao and his troops. Zhang Lu’s threat.
There are really good things happening these days.
