The main reason why Liu Qi turned the land of four counties into the land of seven counties was to carry out detailed development of Jingnan.

First, by establishing seven counties in Jingnan, the original four county governors can be increased to seven, and the number of officials required by the seven county offices will naturally be greater than the original demand.

In fact, this can be regarded as a deliberate method to create more positions.

In the war in the north, southern scholars and powerful families continued to move south. However, there were clans headed by Cai and Kuai in Nan County. Jiangxia County also relied on the wealthy Huang Zu to control Liu Biao, so it wanted to place these people from the north in the two counties in Jingbei.

It is difficult for the nobles and powerful people in Jingzhou.

Now that Zhang Xian's power has been destroyed, all the officials in Jingnan can take this opportunity to carry out a large-scale purge. This is a good opportunity to install a large area of ​​power in Jingnan from the Liu clan of Shanyang and northern scholars.

Establish seven counties, eliminate Zhang Xian's influence, and place his own people in the seven counties...Liu Qi estimated that there are seven county governors plus subordinate officials under their command, plus the county magistrates, county lieutenants and other positions in each county...it can be counted.

It can accommodate at least two to three hundred people.

Of these two to three hundred people, the clan of the Liu family in Shanyang can account for a part, and the scholars from the north of Jingzhou to the south of Jing can account for a part. In addition, a group of disciples of the Liu family selected from the Jingchu Academy can also account for a part.

In this way, the entire Jingzhou has formed a party with Cai and Kuai from Nanjun as the main force, a party with Jiangxia Huang family as the main force, and a group from the seven counties in Jingnan with the Liu family as the representative and supplemented by his disciples and northerners.

One side, thus forming a tripartite political structure.

In every force, it is impossible to completely eliminate factional forces. Wherever people gather, there will be parties and gangs for personal gain, whether it is as large as a country or as small as a company... This is what Liu Qi summed up in his two lives.

experience of.

It is impossible to eliminate cliques, so you can only find ways to establish more parties within your own sphere of influence, and try to keep their strength at the same level, so that the masters can check and balance, and have the greatest rights and voice.

In your own hands.

In addition, dividing the land into seven counties can, to a certain extent, better control the Jingman tribes.

The news of the establishment of the Barbarian King has been spread, and the leaders of the Jingman tribes are ready to take action, and Liu Qi plans to do something even more extreme.

This barbarian king plans to use the county as his jurisdiction to add a barbarian king position, so that he can control the barbarian tribes more effectively.

Of course, not every term of Barbarian King needs to be fully staffed. It should be increased or decreased according to the situation.

One can be established this year according to demand, and one can be established in another county according to demand in the second year. When a comprehensive balance is needed, additional ones will be added continuously according to the number of counties, up to seven.

The resources of Jing Man are insufficient. Once the Barbarian King comes to power, he will inevitably use his new status to plunder the resources of other tribes. In this way, wars will break out between the tribes.

Once a war breaks out, the Jingman tribes will need more support from the Han government.

The development of Jingnan is a delicate job. The longer it takes and the deeper the development, the more beneficial it will be for Liu Qi.

For the Liu family of Shanyang, Seven Counties is a land with vast resources, and the huge benefits it brings will change with each passing day.

In fact, in the past few days, the Wuxi Barbarian Shamoba and the Yuannan Barbarian Baili Xuan had already sent people to express their goodwill to Liu Qi, and intended to send thousands more barbarian troops into Changsha County for Liu Qi to drive.

This is the Wuxi Barbarians and the Yuannan Barbarians expressing their loyalty to Liu Qi, hoping to get Liu Qi's support so that their leader can choose the Barbarian King.

The productivity of the Jing Man is low, and overpopulation is also a burden for them, especially those working people who are at the bottom of the barbarian tribe. Although they get the least food, in the eyes of the upper class of the Jing Man, these people are nothing more than

burden.

If you can send them to Liu Qi and earn the position of Barbarian King, why not do it?

The leader of Jingman thought this was a good thing, and Liu Qi naturally thought it was a good thing too.

Secretly showing favor to himself and delivering various resources from the clan in order to gain official support from Jingzhou, this was the effect Liu Qi wanted.

Now only the Wuxi Barbarians and Yuannan Barbarians come to flatter him, but as time goes by, Liu Qi is confident that more barbarians will come to express their sincerity to him in order to seek the position of Barbarian King.

As long as he stands at the top of the pyramid, it doesn't matter to Liu Qi who among the barbarians below occupies the second or third level of the pyramid.

He just needs the barbarians to support him like his ancestors.

Of course, the strategy of increasing Jingnan to seven counties and balancing the Jingnan barbarians is only one step in Liu Qi's strategy to rectify Jingnan.

For Liu Qi, the most important thing about Jingnan is to use it as a warehouse for the rear.

To be a Cang endowment, you must first reach the level of prosperity.

Not to mention being rich, but at least having a good harvest.

…

"Brother, after I leave, the affairs of Jingnan will be left to you. The three counties of Lingling, Wuling and Guiyang. I have already informed my father that the three counties will be divided into two. Only your Changsha County will not be moved.

As the largest county in Jingnan, you are still the most powerful force in Jingnan. You can control the counties just in case. I will leave all the Han soldiers who surrendered in Jingnan to you...

...But I want to take the southern barbarian camp to the north. You will train and manage the field warriors and barbarian soldiers sent by the barbarians on my behalf...When I need to recruit more soldiers in the north in the future, I will ask you for them. Don't say you don't have them.

"

Liu Pan understood in his heart that although he was the governor of Changsha in name, in fact, he was equivalent to controlling the entire seven counties of Jingnan.

He knew that the matter was of great importance, so he said cautiously: "Don't worry, Boyu, I will definitely stay here and you and your uncle can just go to the north to expand."

Liu Qi reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, there are four more things you need to do carefully."

"What's the matter?"

"The first thing is that the farming matter cannot be left behind. This is the best way to enrich Jingnan's warehouse, and it is the most important thing."

"Second, it is the matter of Jingchu Academy. Now that the war has just passed, all counties are in need of improvement, and the appeal of the local gentry has been greatly weakened. Now is a good time to appoint outsiders as officials in the counties of Jingnan. At the same time, Jingchu

The policy on the appointment and dismissal of southern officials also needs some changes."

Liu Pan said: "I know this. Now that Luoyang Imperial Academy has been abolished, it is difficult for scholars from all over the world to enter the capital to serve as ministers. If there are no ministers to serve as ministers, the counties may not be able to recommend filial piety and integrity as before. My uncle's previous letter

As for me, if there are no scholars in Luoyang Imperial Academy, we can select scholars from among the students in Changsha Academy and appoint them as officials to manage the army and the people."

Liu Qi smiled and said: "The scholars in the academy are all disciples of our Liu family. It is okay to accept them as officials, but we should not accept them lightly."

Liu Pan wondered: "What does Boyu mean?"

"Set an examination and select the best candidates."

"Set up a test?" Liu Pan was surprised when he heard this: "Is this possible?"

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Why not? When Luoyang Tai students graduate, most of them have to pass the first-level examination before they can be married."

Liu Pan frowned and said, "But the problem is that the graduation exam for Taipei students is only for choosing a successor, and most of them use their own connections. We are selecting officials here."

Liu Qi smiled and said: "It's not like I won't let them use money? If someone asks you to cheat on the exam because of your connections, just agree."

"Ah?" Liu Pan looked at Liu Qi in surprise, and asked in confusion: "Bo Yu, why are you doing this? If cheating is allowed to make money, then how can real talents be selected?"

"It doesn't matter whether you have talent or not. What's important is to establish the rule that you need to undergo an evaluation before you leave the academy to serve as an official... As long as the general rules are determined, everything else will be easy to discuss in the future."

Liu Pan still didn't quite understand.

Liu Qi smiled and explained for him: "If the local states and counties act like this in a time of peace and quiet, it will inevitably cause huge conflicts with the local gentry. But now that the rebellion in Jingnan has begun, and the various tribes are panicking because of Zhang Xian's incident,

We are afraid of being burdened by it, and we want to take advantage of this time to reuse the northern scholars in Jingnan. The saying goes, no destruction, no establishment, is at this time. This season is a God-given opportunity to change the rules, and we should not miss it."

Liu Pan pondered and nodded slowly.

When I was young, I heard Liu Qi continue: "The third thing is to send someone to make friends with Shi Xie. I can't do this in Nanjun. I still need to rely on my brother to keep in touch with him here."

Liu Pan suddenly said: "Bo Yu is still thinking about the... Chamcheng rice you told me last time, right?"

Liu Qi smiled slightly and nodded.

Liu Pan sighed and shook his head secretly.

To be honest, Liu Pan thought it was a bit of a joke to know how many rice seeds were harvested in a year.

But since Boyu wanted it, he might as well let him go.

Anyway, although the rice seeds in Jingnan are not as magical as Liu Qi said, they are enough to support the amount of farmland in Jingnan, and Liu Pan is still sending people around to find new rice seeds, the so-called Champa rice.

It depends on your luck.

Liu Qi regarded that thing as a treasure, but Liu Pan only regarded it as a legend.
