Sun Ce put away the manuscript, put it aside, and looked at Yu Fan. "I will go to Wuxian for the New Year soon. Although this manuscript of Lunheng is important, you don't need to go there in person. If you suddenly come to Jingzhou, there must be something wrong."
Yu Fan put away his smile and remained silent for a moment. "General, there are four counties in Jiangdong, Kuaiji and Danyang at the moment, and they are acting by the county magistrate. Cai Mao, the prefect of Wu County, was not competent, and only the prefect of Yuzhang, Yang Xiu, was qualified. His father Yang Biao comforted Guandong and would go to Yuzhang soon. What will the general plan to make arrangements?"
Sun Ce understood what Yu Fan meant. The four counties in Jiangdong all had problems of varying degrees, but Wu County had the biggest problems and the most difficult to deal with. Yu Fan rushed to the scene because he was worried that he would promise the Cai family when he went to Xiangyang. Yu Fan was crazy, but he was not a political idiot. He knew the relationship between the Cai family and him. If he could not speak, it would not only affect the stability of the entire Jingzhou, but also affect his reputation and shake the confidence of others. But Cai Mao was indeed not suitable to be a prefect, especially when Wu County had become the rear of Sun Ce, and a large number of civil and military families were about to move to Wu County to live.
"What advice do you have?"
"I heard that Zhou Boqi, the father of Zhou Gongjin, also came to Wancheng. He resigned from Henan Yin?"
Sun Ce raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled slightly. "Do you think he is suitable?"
"Zhou Gongjin is a general in the field, and it is inevitable that his family should be a qualifying matter. Although Cai is a woman, he served as a priest in Nanyang Kindergarten. Moreover, Cai Boyi is a history in Xiangyang. Only she is the only daughter who is far from being close to human nature. The general is kind, so he will naturally leave her in Nanyang. Only Zhou Boqi and his wife can be hostage. Zhou Boqi has been an official for many years and has good achievements. He is more than enough to be the prefect of Wu County. Why not do it if you are both public and private?"
Sun Ce was very happy. This was exactly his plan, which coincided with Yu Fan. "Where are the other three counties?"
"The general has four prefectures and no longer has to use the false reputation of the prefect of Kuaiji. He can appoint Gu Yong as the prefect of Kuaiji to appease the heart of Wu County, or choose another suitable candidate."
Sun Ce heard what Yu Fan meant. "Is Gu Yong suitable to be the prefect of Wu County?"
Yu Feng nodded. "Wu Hui was originally one, and there were many marriages and relationships between each other, and interests were inevitable. Gu Yong was a gentleman who was unwilling to offend others, and he was inevitably indulged in the mistakes of indulgence. This is one of them. Kuaiji is in the mountains and seas, and the people are brave. Gu Yong does not practice martial arts, and once there is something happening, it is difficult to subdue him. This is the second. Gu Yong is conservative by nature and does not follow the stubborn changes. He reacts slowly by the general, and his despise counties criticize him."
Sun Ce rubbed his fingers and smiled bitterly. Yu Fan said three reasons in a row, which shows that he did not agree with Gu Yong as the prefect of Kuaiji. Wu Hui was one, but the conflicts between Wu Hui have a long history, and it is indeed inappropriate for Gu Yong to be the prefect of Kuaiji.
"I want me to consider this candidate again. Do you have any suggestions? You might as well speak out."
"General, I have a suggestion, but it involves a wide range of things."
"Let me tell you. If it makes sense, even if it cannot be implemented temporarily, it can be used as one of the plans and will be discussed in the long run."
"Yes. Wu County is a former county of generals. It is reasonable for the general to take Wu as the foundation, but I am bluntly saying that Wu County is not suitable for establishing a country. Wu County has Taihu Lake in the west, near the sea in the east, with a low terrain and insufficient arable land. Even if water conservancy is vigorously developed, it will not be able to feed a large number of people within ten years. There are things in the Central Plains, unless the navy goes to sea, it can only go north, which is very inconvenient."
Sun Ce pondered and said nothing. Yu Fan mentioned the establishment of a country, which had two meanings: one was to determine that he would not compromise with the court and would inevitably embark on the road of separatism. The other was to determine that he lacked advantages and could not pacify the world in a short period of time, so he had to consider a long-term confrontation. Under such a premise, Wu County was indeed not suitable for the capital. Later, the establishment of the Eastern Wu Kingdom, although Wu was the capital, in history, Sun Quan first accepted Zhang Hong's suggestion to establish the capital Jianye, but not in Wu County, because Wu County did not have the geographical conditions to establish the capital.
"Then where do you think is suitable?"
"As far as Jiangdong is concerned, it is better to move to Yangxian, west of Taihu Lake, and then cut Danyang and add Kuaiji." Yu Fan said, taking out a roll of paper and spreading it in front of Sun Ce. There was a map on the paper, and the outline was very clear. When Sun Ce saw it, he couldn't help but laugh and pointed at Yu Fan. "Yu Zhongxiang, I didn't expect that you are such a vulgar person. I respect you more than you."
Yu Fan smiled. "Why not do anything for both public and private affairs?"
Sun Ce nodded. "You are honest, then let's talk about it. What are the benefits of establishing a country in Yangxian."
Yu Fan pointed to the map and explained in detail. Yangxian is located west of Taihu Lake, and the terrain is much higher than that of Wuxian. After two years of water conservancy rectification, a large amount of fertile land has been added between Yangxian, Qu'a and Piling, which can accommodate the newly migrated population and will not have conflicts with the old indigenous people. From Yangxian to the west, there is Lijiang directly connecting to Wuhu and entering the Yangtze River. The journey southward passes Wu and goes straight to Qiantang, with both water and land. If Jiangji is also included in the jurisdiction, within 300 miles, the essence of Jiangdong can be collected. It is indeed much better than Wuxian, which is located east of Taihu Lake.
From a selfish perspective, Sun Ce will establish a country in Jiangdong and will be included in the capital, which is both false and practical for Kuaiji. This is understandable. Rabbits do not eat grass on the edge of the nest. From ancient times to the present, any monarch with a little brain knows to show kindness to the people in the capital, and no one wants to have an accident around him. Wu Hui is one, but he doesn't like each other for too long. Of course, Kuaiji people cannot watch Wu County people enjoy the blessings, but they cannot benefit from it. As Kuaiji people, Yu Fan is not a saint, so naturally they have to consider this factor. Even if he doesn't say it, others will ask him to suggest to Sun Ce.
If you admit that Yu Fan's analysis of the general situation is true, this plan is indeed worth considering. It can even be said that this plan is actually more advantageous than Lidu Jianye. But this is a relatively peaceful plan after all, and has never been Sun Ce's first choice. Whether it is Wuxian or Yangxian, they are too far from the Central Plains.
However, in terms of the current situation, it seems that there is no perfect place to establish the capital. He is attacked on both sides, so he has to control Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and there is no position that can be taken into account. In a word, Runan is the most suitable for advancement, and Yangxian is the most reliable when retreating.
The terrain of Jiangdong is suitable for peaceful and prosperous times, which can quickly develop the economy, but is not suitable for troubled times. It is really a disadvantage to defend.
Sun Ce thought about it for a long time and finally said to Yu Fan: "You are here just in time. We are preparing to discuss the Yizhou strategy. You can participate together. Then put forward this plan to discuss it together to see what Mr. Zigang and others think."
"Here." Yu Fan agreed repeatedly. He could see that Sun Ce was not disgusted with his suggestions and was inclined to accept them. The matter involved too much, and he did not expect Sun Ce to agree immediately. If this was the case, he would be worried and felt that Sun Ce was not hasty.
"The Jiangdong Autumn Harvest is over? How is the harvest?"
"It's basically over. The results of the county plan have not yet been released. I have notified Gu Yong, Cai Mao, and Gan Yan, and told them not to rush to announce the results after receiving the plan. They will send them to me first and have a unified caliber. I am directly responsible for the military farming. Judging from the known results, the harvest this year is good, and the military farming has achieved a balance of revenue and expenditure, and we can harvest next year."
"So fast?" Sun Ce was both surprised and happy.
Yu Fan showed a rare smile of appreciation. "General, I didn't expect it to be so fast. This is thanks to two people: one is Huang Dajiang. The machinery made by Mu Xuetang saves a lot of manpower and material resources, and its efficiency is several times higher than before; the other is Yuan Duwei, who is unmatched in water conservancy and can be regarded as a great man. With these two people, farming and water conservancy can save at least one-third of the time."
