Ma Su was entrusted by Liu Bei as an inspector of Jiangling, so he could not take it lightly, because Jingmen County, northwest of Jiangling County, bordered Xiangyang occupied by Cao Cao.

Although both sides were cultivating and resting after the end of the Red Cliff War, and there was no large-scale war on the border, small frictions were inevitable!

Not long after Liu Bei took over Jingmen from Jiangdong, there were mixed things here and everything was in trouble. The situation was very complicated and some small riots often occurred.

Since Ma Su had a position, he naturally could not stay in the public security and enjoyed his life. So he brought his own guard to Jingmen County.

Ma Su lived in the county yard and had more than 100 guards under him, leaving only the centurion Xing Daorong, and the rest were sent to the countryside for open and secret investigations.

Although Jingmen County is at the junction of Xiangyang and Jiangling, it is not affected by the war.

Because although Cao Cao and Liu Bei's defenders would also have confrontations, they would seize military important roads such as passes and would not harm the common people.

Despite this, it still gives people a feeling of insecurity. The wealthy families here sold their land and moved away. Many people fled to Xiangyang, leaving behind a lot of barren and unowned land.

After Liu Bei took over Jingmen County, he stationed hundreds of troops at the Jingshan Pass. The entire Jiangling County was controlled by him. How could he have a place to settle down?

Liu Bei's name of benevolence is not false, he is really concerned about the sufferings of the people.

He first asked the counties to measure the land they had taken over to public and obtained a lot of available land. Liu Bei remembered the people who followed him to escape, many of whom were displaced.

Liu Bei felt very guilty and issued an order to reward the people who followed him with land so that they could live and work in peace and contentment.

The military family is very favorable. Not only does the amount of land distributed is a lot more, but they are also all good fertile land. These people are very grateful.

Since Cao Cao's expedition in the south, Liu Bei has lost a lot of troops from Xinye, especially on Changbanpo, where he was ambushed by Jia Xu and lost more than half of them.

After arriving in Jiangxia, although the Battle of Red Cliff and the War to Pacify Jingnan, the number of soldiers was killed was not large, and the families of those soldiers were all arranged in the wealthy areas of Jiangxia.

Most of the families of the fallen soldiers who followed Liu Bei were mixed with the people who fled with Liu Bei.

Hundreds of thousands of people followed Liu Bei to Changbanpo. Although they were dispersed by Cao Cao's cavalry, they did not start a massacre. The number of orphans and widows left behind was quite large!

Changbanpo has always been a heart-wrenching problem for Liu Bei. Not only did Mrs. Mi die there, but many soldiers' families also lost contact, and the families of the fallen soldiers were even left unattended!

After Liu Bei returned from Jiangdong, he personally inquired about these people, found these people, gave them the necessary rewards, so that they could have their own land and support their families.

Liu Bei's solution to these things was mainly because he couldn't bear it, and of course he was also thinking about his own reputation.

Zhuge Liang would not miss this opportunity. He promoted Liu Bei's benevolent behavior in Jingzhou, and many people actively joined the army!

Moreover, the families of these soldiers were very grateful and told them to repay Liu Bei's kindness, and the morale of Liu Bei's army was even higher!

Zhuge Liang was secretly proud. Soon after, this army could be used on the battlefield to seek Xichuan.

Wangjiachong, located southwest of Jingmen County, is a beautiful mountain village. It was originally a place of residence chosen by Wang Can for his tribe.

Later, Wang Can strongly advocated that Liu Cong surrender to Cao Cao, and was valued by Cao Cao. After Liu Bei occupied Jiangling, the Wang Can clan members were afraid of being liquidated by Liu Bei, so they had to move to another place.

The ownerless fertile fields left behind can be used to accommodate the families of meritorious soldiers who died in Changbanpo.

Zhao San has been working in Xiangyang for a short time. His son was killed in Changbanpo and was rewarded with land by Liu Bei at the Wang family.

Zhao San originally lived in Runan. Although his family only had more than ten acres of thin land, because his family was not very crowded, he lived a good life and was a happy little family.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Zhao family was the first to be hit, and the family of five had to clean up the fine and soft things and escape to Xinye.

Because he had no land of his own and had no place to live, his only son joined Liu Bei's army and obtained land, so his life would be better.

Who knew that the good times would not last long. Cao Cao went south to fight and Xinye became a battlefield, so Zhao San had to take his family and flee south with Liu Bei.

Zhao San's son was killed in Changbanpo. Fortunately, his son left a considerable settlement fee, and Zhao San was responsible for others to carry the work, so they could barely survive in Jiangxia.

This time, Liu Bei resettled the families of the fallen soldiers and found Zhao San's family of four. He divided the land into 40 acres of good land in the Wang family. He brought his daughter-in-law and five-year-old grandson to settle down here.

Zhao San is in his early fifties and has worked very hard to plant forty acres of land by himself. His wife and daughter-in-law have also gone to the fields to help. Seeing that the crops in the fields are growing well, the whole family is very happy.

Who knew that disaster came from the sky. His five-year-old grandson, who had no one to take care of, climbed a tree and picked wild fruits, fell from the tree and fell seriously injured.

In order to heal his young grandson, Zhao San spent all his family's savings and borrowed a lot of external accounts.

The only military family of Wang Jiachong is Zhao San's family, and the rest of the land was acquired by a few outsiders. The relationship between neighbors is quite good.

Although Zhao San only has forty acres of land, because it is the best fertile land here, the growth of the dealer made the neighbors jealous.

After his grandson was injured, a neighbor named Li Yong took the initiative to lend money to his grandson for treatment.

There is no doctor in the mountain village, so Zhao San has to travel dozens of miles to the county town for medical treatment. His grandson's injury was delayed, and the cost was quite large!

Although my grandson's injury was cured, he still left a lame disability.

But his neighbor Li Yong didn't really lend money to Zhao San with kindness, he was fond of his dozens of acres of fertile land.

Not long after, Li Yong began to collect debts and began to charge high interest rates every day, hoping to force Zhao San to sell the land.

Zhao San was naturally unwilling to do so, and both families began to seek justice from their hometowns. This matter happened to be discovered by Ma Su's subordinates who were sent to visit privately and reported to Ma Su.

Ma Su attached great importance to it because the focus of his work given to him was that those rich people could not be allowed to be unkind and annexed the farmers' fields, and the families of the fallen soldiers were also protected.

Because Zhao San is a military family and Ma Su was once a soldier, he was a little partial to Zhao San, so he began to investigate Li Yong's identity.

This investigation really made him find out the problem, because the six families who bought land in the Wang family all came from the same place, Xunyang County, Jiangdong!
