Zhuge Liang was reminding the representatives of the gentry in Jingzhou.

If they go on like this, apart from angering Da Chu, there will be no benefit.

As for the consequences of angering Da Chu, everyone who wants to be present is very clear.

Don't think that the Chu army's sword is not sharp.

If they really let them kill people, it would be troublesome.

Even Cui Yingling, who was so arrogant, was defeated by the Chu army, and they were no match for the Chu army.

"The future of Jingzhou is in your hands. I hope you will consider it carefully."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he continued to look at his spectators.

His role today is just a bridge of communication.

It is to avoid any conflict between the two sides.

As long as the two sides can sit down and have a good talk, there will be no problem.

"Mr. Yuanzhi, we want to know how Da Chu will govern Jingzhou after taking over the land of Jingzhou?"

Kuai Liang, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly asked.

He didn't care whether Da Chu fought or not, that was meaningless.

Whether Da Chu will fight or not is not up to them to decide.

Even Da Chu himself couldn't make up his mind, and Xu Shu couldn't do what he said.

Not every war can be decided by oneself.

Sometimes it is necessary to fight.

When someone wants to fight you, even if you don't want to fight anymore, you have to cheer up and fight.

Otherwise, you will die miserably.

Kuai Liang is more concerned about internal affairs, and he has also heard about the affairs of Da Chu.

After Yu Jiangran established the Great Chu, he has been promoting his "land to the tiller".

Although he has not seen any action to suppress the gentry for the time being, in Kuai Liang's view, there will be such a possibility if it continues to develop.

After all, no matter where it is, the land is held in the hands of a small number of gentry.

If you want everyone to have their own fields, apart from reclaiming wasteland, you can only take it from the gentry.

The land obtained by reclaiming wasteland is limited, it takes time, and the land that can be easily reclaimed has been reclaimed long ago.

Now if you want to continue to cultivate wasteland, you need to go to some places that are more difficult to plant.

Without water, even if land is obtained, it can only be dry land.

Not worth it at all.

If Yu Jiangran wants to continue to develop agriculture, he will probably focus on the gentry.

Land is a vested interest of the gentry, how could they give it up so easily?

By that time, there may be a war between the two sides.

No matter who wins in the end, it will only be a miserable victory.

"How to govern Jingzhou, before I came here, I also asked my lord. After all, I know very well that everyone should be most concerned about Da Chu's governance policy~." Xu Shu said: "Our lord said, short-term Internally, the focus is on maintaining stability, what Jingzhou was like before, what it will be like after we take over." "What about the long-term?"

In the short term, Da Chu needs to stabilize Jingzhou and stabilize the people's hearts in Jingzhou. Of course, he will not easily make too much noise.

But after Jingzhou is stabilized, it may not be so.

What Kuai Liang wants to ask is not in the short term. Anyone can guess this, so there is no need to ask.

What he actually wanted to know was what Da Chu would do after Duan (Nuo De Zhao) got up. "In the long run, I don't want to lie to everyone about this."

Xu Shu said: "Now is the era of war, who can guarantee the long-term? How long a power can survive is a problem. How can it have the energy to think about long-term problems?" Here, Xu Shu made a trick.

He didn't want to answer this question, so he tried to avoid the answer to this question.

Others don't know, but Xu Shu has been with Yu Jiangran for so long, he knows very well what Yu Jiangran will do. .

Chapter 536

Xu Shu felt that if he told the truth, the people present would definitely not be satisfied.

Just told a white lie.

Of course, what he said was not a lie.

Originally in this chaos, the existence time of a force is not very sure.

Maybe one day, it will be wiped out by someone, and another person will be in charge.

It's simply not realistic to think so far.

The people present were obviously not satisfied with Xu Shu's answer.

But they also understand.

Born in troubled times, no one can be sure what will happen to him tomorrow.

Since there won't be any major changes in the short term, they can reluctantly accept it.

This is also their bottom line.

So, on this basis, everyone had a very pleasant talk.

It didn't take long for Xu Shu to reach an agreement with the Jingzhou gentry.

They helped Da Chu accept all parts of Jingzhou and helped Da Chu stabilize Jingzhou.

After Da Chu arrived in Jingzhou, he was responsible for protecting their interests from harm.

What Da Chu wanted was a stable Jingzhou, and what the gentry wanted was their own interests to be protected.

The two sides hit it off.

A preliminary consensus has been reached.

Xu Shu was very satisfied with the result of this negotiation.

He himself did not expect that this trip to Jingzhou would be so convenient.

Originally, he thought that he had to follow Zhuge Liang to visit many noble families in order to have such a result. (Daea) Even he was ready to refuse to cooperate.

Once the gentry refused to cooperate, he had to use force.

Once force is used, Jingzhou may become turbulent, and the time to stabilize Jingzhou needs to be delayed.

As for the captives accepted by Da Chu City, they may have to stay in Da Chu City for a while longer.

But this is not a problem, they stay a few more days, just to build a few more miles of roads for Jingzhou.

Before Xu Shu set off from Dachu City, Yu Jiangran was already planning the highway from Dachu City to Jingzhou City.

Of course, the so-called expressway is just an avenue that can run horse-drawn carriages, not a real expressway.

Even if Yu Jiangran wanted to see the highway, he didn't have that basis.

If Jingzhou can be stabilized, maybe Yu Jiangran will find a way to make some money out of cement and glass.

Now is not the time, my own territory has not been settled yet, and the danger still exists.

At this time, if the cement and glass are made out, won't it make other forces jealous?

If other forces know that Da Chu can produce such lucrative things, they will definitely not be able to resist wanting to fight Da Chu.

Even if one person can't handle it, they will organize a coalition to attack Dachu together.

Although Yu Jiangran said he was very confident, he was not so confident that he could outlaw Cao Cao and be able to withstand the beatings of several forces alone.

In order not to let such a tragic thing happen to me.

Yu Jiangran felt that it was better for him to keep a low profile in recent years.

Others don't know, but he knows very well that in this troubled world, others may not have the ability to engage in economics, but they have a lot of ability to fight.

There are too many famous generals in the Three Kingdoms to count.

Yu Jiangran felt that for Da Chu, the most important thing now is to hurry up and make a joke of the Jingzhou he just got.

If Jingzhou can be digested, Da Chu's strength will be more than doubled.

In order to increase the connection between the two places.

Based on the principle of not wasting money, Yu Jiangran turned the Jingzhou soldiers captured from the battlefield into engineering soldiers and asked them to build roads.

Build a road from Dachu City to Jingzhou.

The euphemistic name is to build a way for Jingzhou people to go back more easily and happily.

They also asked the captives to say that the roads they built were all built for themselves.

Do the prisoners believe it?

They believe in ghosts.

But even if they don't believe it, what can they do? .

Chapter 537

Yu Jiangran was in Dachu City, mobilizing manpower and material resources vigorously, preparing to build a fast road between Dachu City and Jingzhou City.

Strive to shorten the time distance between the two places as much as possible.

Although the distance above this space has always been fixed and cannot be changed.

But the distance above this time can still be won.

In order to make the connection between Great Chu City and Jingzhou City closer, this road must be repaired, not only to be repaired, but also to be repaired.

The sooner the better.

The sooner this road is built, the sooner the Jingzhou area can be stabilized.

Wherever this road can be built, Da Chu's army can reach there as quickly as possible.

The range that Da Chu's army can extend will be ~ the range that Da Chu can control.

It will also be within the range that Yu Jiangran can control in the future.

When Yu Jiangran was building roads in Chuzhou, Xu Shu was negotiating fiercely with the representatives of the gentry in Jingzhou.

And his general Gao Yan is leading an army of 2 people, approaching Jingzhou mightily.

All the counties in Jingzhou began to panic, thinking that the army of Great Chu was coming.

Some people even called for the formation of an army to resist Da Chu's army.

But what surprised them was that after Gao Yan's army entered Jingzhou, they did not commit any crimes, did not burn, kill or loot, and did not collect money and food from the local people.

This made Jingzhou people wonder what kind of medicine was sold in Da Chu's gourd.

Of course, these are common people's doubts, but most of the gentry in Jingzhou have already reached an agreement with Xu Shu.

As long as Da Chu's army doesn't mess around in their territory, they can temporarily provide the food and grass that Chuzhou's army needs to march.

After Xu Shu reached an agreement with the gentry in Jingzhou, he originally wanted to invite Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain.

But Zhuge Liang didn't agree, saying that he was a wild crane and didn't like the days of fighting and killing, and preferred to live in seclusion.

But he didn't say too much.

Before parting, I also told Xu Shu that if there is anything that can help me in the future, I can come to him again.

After Xu Shu thought about it, he didn't force it.

Xu Shu knew Zhuge Liang's talent.

He also knew very well that with Zhuge Liang's talent, if he went to recruit him himself, he would definitely not come out of the mountain.

At this time, if Zhuge Liang accepted his invitation, wouldn't he be his own?

Even if he develops in Dachu in the future, he will leave his Xu Shu brand.
