hey-hey!

Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, I'm sorry!

Lu Su was intercepted by his own officer.

Zhou Tai came in and asked someone to bring a table of dishes.

Take out the wine glass and take out a bottle of Wuliangye.

Pour wine!

As soon as the bottle cap is unscrewed, the aroma of the rich-flavored wine comes out. Suddenly, the house is filled with fragrance, which whets your appetite.

Especially those who have never drank it before, it feels like fairy wine, with a wafting taste in it.

"Come! Let the three of us have a drink!"

Bang!

Three cups clinked together.

Qin Qi picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.

"Zijing, if you haven't drunk before, you can drink it slowly instead of drinking it in one gulp, as you will get drunk easily."

Qin Qi said.

“Good wine!”

Lu Su exclaimed.

After drinking a small cup, Lu Su felt a little groggy.

"My lord, isn't this the peerless wine from the Luoyang Palace?"

Lu Su said.

"Zijing, the peerless wines passed down by the emperor are not as good as this wine. That is a small white wine, this is the truly peerless wine."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, Ruxuwu belongs to Lujiang territory. Why do we want to station here? Do we want to take over Lujiang County?"

Lu Su said.

Qin Qi shook her head.

"Zijing, when I was still the governor of Xiakou, I reached an alliance with Lord Lu Kang, and our two families united.

We agreed to communicate with the outside world. If someone invades, the other family must send troops to reinforce. I told Prefect Lu that Ruxuwu is a very important place.

It is necessary to station the navy to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. After negotiation, Lu Kang agreed to lease the Ruxuwu place to me.

Station a division of troops and horses to ensure the safety of Lujiang River."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, the world is peaceful. Is there really anyone who would take advantage of Lujiang?"

Lu Su said.

"Zijing! Don't think it's peace now, this will be the main battlefield in the future. Shouchun, the enemies coming from Yuzhou will not be weak.

For now, the two of you just need to train the soldiers and settle the people well. If an enemy comes to invade, give me a hard beating."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, in Lujiang, Ruxuwu and other places, there are some bandits and water bandits, as well as some remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, but they do not pose a threat. As long as they are wiped out, the enemies coming from there are not a threat."

Lu Su said.

"Zijing, I have received news from Luoyang that the emperor's health is getting worse day by day. Once the emperor dies,

Do you think there will still be peace in the world? Now that local power is strong, various places are taking advantage of the Yellow Turbans’ rebellion.

The rampant recruitment of troops and horses has seriously overstretched the city. What about the imperial city? There are only some imperial guards, and they have to send troops and horses to other places for peace.

There is no ability to contain local warlords. Local warlords are all controlled by big families behind the scenes. Like the Yuan family,

The Yang family and other super big families have developed into chaebols and powerful families. Will those people be willing to serve as foils?

Are the emperor's two sons capable of suppressing the officials in the court? Don't think too highly of those big families.

To put it harshly, they are all people with ulterior motives. The chaos in the country is also caused by those big families.

The people have no land and no food to eat, but the Yellow Turban Army can achieve success, and so many people can respond with a cheer.

To put it bluntly, people have no choice. They will die if they rebel or not. There is still a glimmer of hope for rebellion, so why not do it?

The Yellow Turban Army subsided, but the legacy remains. On the other hand, civilization must progress.

Society wants to develop, this is a major trend and no one can resist it."

Qin Qi said.

"Where is this officer? I just want to protect the people in the area under my jurisdiction, prevent them from being ravaged by war, and let the people have enough to eat.

Have a place to live, continue the inheritance of the Central Plains people, and prevent the inheritance from being cut off. To achieve this goal,

You must have enough strength, otherwise you will just become someone else's prey and be plundered and robbed at any time."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, I hear what you say, within a few years, the world will be in a situation where princes are competing for hegemony?"

Lu Su said.

Qin Qi nodded.

You deserve to be called an expert, you can tell the truth in one point.

"Yes! Luan means people are suffering, Xing means people are suffering. People are always the most miserable people, and no one cares about their life and death."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, who will be our main opponent in the future?"

Lu Su said.

"It's hard to guess this question! If we say one year from now, our main opponent will probably be the Yuan family.

Yuzhou is the old enemy of the Yuan family. They will definitely not let us develop. They will definitely want to bring Lujiang to Lujiang.

Nanyang and Xiakou have taken it, and even Jingzhou wants to own it. In a year, you will have to resist the Yuan family's attack here.

You must be mentally prepared. The Yuan family's power, strength, and influence are very huge, and it is difficult to deal with them!"

Qin Qi said.

"The Yuan family is indeed difficult to deal with. The titles of Fourth Generation and Three Dukes are not so easy to deal with. There are many local officials in the world.

They are all recommended by the Yuan family, and they are considered the Yuan family. The Yuan family wants money, food, people, and a prominent family."

Lu Su said.

"Youping and Zijing don't have to worry too much. After all, if we prepare in advance, the situation will be better than that of the Yuan family.

The key is that we cannot relax and train the soldiers well. As long as the combat effectiveness of the soldiers increases,

No matter how big the difficulty is, you can get through it. After a period of time, take soldiers to the surrounding areas to suppress bandits, and let the soldiers see blood by the way.

The soul is baptized. If the soldiers can transform, that would be the best situation. Don't let the war come.

It's not okay for soldiers to become soft-handed and weak-footed when they see blood and dare not attack."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, don't worry! We still have more than a year to train an elite army, and we won't let the lord down."

Zhou Taidao.

"The two of you must remember: people come first, only people can do anything, and no one can do anything.

You must treat the victims and refugees well in Ruxuwu, no matter where they come from, as long as they come to our territory,

The resettlement must be easy. There will be many craftsmen among the refugees and disaster victims, so we must vigorously recruit them.

Craftsmen currently have a low status, are not favored by others, and are easy to recruit. We must pay attention to craftsmen.

Vigorously recruit craftsmen. Disaster victims and refugees come here. If they cannot be resettled at once, they can be transferred to Xiakou.

Leave it to Xun Yu for resettlement. We have a lot of land resources in the area under our jurisdiction, so don’t worry about not being able to resettle it. When the world is in chaos,

Let’s see if there is a chance to capture the area south of the Huaihe River in one fell swoop, which would make it easier to defend.”

Qin Qi said.

"As you command!"

Zhou Tai and Lu Su both said.

"By the way, during this period, we can recruit a few scholars into the army and teach the soldiers how to read in the evening.

If we want to eliminate illiteracy in Jingzhou, we must start with the soldiers. When the soldiers retire or become disabled,
To be continued...
