Chapter 414 Four Events in Yizhou
"Potential is energy."

As the winter sunset was setting, Black Bear stood on the top of the city wall, wearing a cashmere felt cloak, overlooking the garrison camps outside the city.

The fine felt of this cloak was rolled and made with yellow, black and red velvet to outline various geometric shapes that he was accustomed to.

So now, viewed from behind, the fine felt cloak looks like a rough mosaic.

He raised his arm and pointed at the various military camps: "The rage is overwhelming. How can the men and women in Shu not be afraid?"

Li Feng followed him and said worriedly, "I am worried that the people of Shu will be frightened and blinded by greed, and do something that will harm everyone."

"If things come to that, what harm will it do to me?"

Black Bear has an exceptionally calm mentality, and every time he fights, he tries his best to send veteran troops to the rear.

If the people of Yizhou were to be destroyed together by some means, when he comes here again, he will not bring only three thousand black flag knights.

What's more, the current situation of the people of Yizhou is not very good. In his eyes, the textile industry in Yizhou, especially near Chengdu, is subject to huge risks.

His own new and old troops, even the Xianbei people who arrived first, had learned the tactical awareness of rescuing slaves and turning them into servants.

In the ancient Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11, each member of your troops carries the "heart attack" special effect, and every attack or action can absorb military strength from the opponent.

There are both men and women working in Chengdu's textile industry, and many have been working in this industry for generations.

How could such a highly technical industry, given the nature of powerful families, retain the free status of weavers?
Is it to make it easier for the other party to leave and work for another company, or to make it easier for the other party to get a salary increase?
The meaning of a weaver's family's existence is to weave bright Shu brocade, not to grow fat and white by eating and drinking enough.

For generations, it was not surprising that weavers could not afford to wear new clothes made of rough cloth. In short, tens of thousands of households around Chengdu, including 100,000 households engaged in upstream work, were trapped by this industry.

Not starving to death, but not full either.

When life is peaceful, they can marry, have children and pass on the family business. But when times are turbulent, given the terrain of Shu, these people's lives will be the first to be torn apart by the storm.

Therefore, no matter whether it was himself, the Huns, or the Xianbei, as long as they could break the foundation of the hegemony of the big families in Shu, they would be able to rescue and release tens of thousands of vassal troops immediately.

I can see this situation myself. Once Liu Bao, Budugen and others have access to this information, they will naturally be able to see this huge potential source of reliable troops.

Black Bear calmed Li Feng down and continued, "Mianzhu will be a huge prison, where tigers and wolves that can destroy Shuzhong are sealed. I am the only barrier to protect the men and women of Shuzhong. I will be stationed here for three months. During these three months, you must control Shujun, Guanghanjun and Bajun."

Liu Zhang divided Ba County into three parts for internal division of power and checks and balances.

Black Bear doesn't like this kind of fragmented small county. It seems that the county magistrate has a smaller area of ​​jurisdiction, so he can conduct frequent inspections and suppress local powerful families. But in fact, the local powerful families have a higher percentage of influence in the small county, and they often interact with the county magistrate and can collude with him quickly.

Maintaining the framework of the large county and strengthening the power of the county magistrate will also strengthen the county magistrate's self-confidence, and he will not be easily moved by a few trivial things.

When the influence is shared among many powerful people in the county, it seems ordinary and not that important.

In the framework of a large county, there are only two or three prominent families in a county; after it is broken up into small counties, the powerful people in the original county can also shamelessly call themselves the prominent families in the county.

Being in my current position, my level is too high and I have some self-awareness, so the less I show off my skills, the smaller the probability of making mistakes.

The fewer mistakes there are, the fewer weaknesses there are, and other problems can be overcome by waiting for time.

So he was extremely calm, and even though Chengdu was nearby, he was not in a hurry to see it.

After sorting out the Mianzhu garrison, you can go to Chengdu for a stroll.

This is different from before. Before, I was really unwilling to give up, so I traveled to the outside of Jiameng Pass with the mentality of giving it a try. As a result, Liu Zhang, Shu soldiers, and Dongzhou soldiers were all defeated.

Like a silkworm in its chrysalis, Liu Zhang's forces were in a metamorphosis of internal reorganization; as a result, their form was uncertain, their various organizations lacked cohesion, and were easily disintegrated by themselves... Instead, they became their own external organizations, which could be decomposed and reorganized by themselves.

At this time, don't make big moves, just keep the army in good shape and hold on for three months, then everything will go smoothly. Liu Zhang became king in less than three months, less than a hundred days; if I stay here for a hundred days, there will definitely be some effect.

Build a few more castles in Mianzhu, control the Sijian Mountain plank road, and hold the throat in your hands. The people of Yizhou will be more cautious in doing things in the future.

As for Li Feng... Actually, at a time like this, it would be a great idea to let a dog be the governor.

The less you stir up trouble, the more it will help to dull the intensity of the situation.

The purpose of using Li Feng is to reform the Tianshi Dao.

Keep those that can be used, and give the unusable ones to Zhang Lu, and find an opportunity to kick them to Nanzhong.

Anyway, there are descendants of Zhang Liang, Marquis of Liu, in Nanzhong. If Zhang Lu runs over to check the family tree, maybe the development will be faster.

What's more, Guanzhong already had relevant laws allowing believers to redeem themselves and setting a maximum term of slavery for believers; there was no need to repeat them. As long as Li Feng gained a firm foothold and arranged for people to spread the Taiping Dao beliefs, would the big families in Yizhou dare to obstruct him?

Black Bear doesn't care whether these people obstruct him or not. Anyone who dares to obstruct him will be killed.

Seeing Li Feng's many concerns, Yizhou was really too rich. The annual output of Shu brocade, cloth, and steel equipment alone was a huge fortune.

After experiencing turbulent times, many beautiful things are easily destroyed and it is very difficult to rebuild them.

He thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Yizhou is like a bright pearl. I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with the rats if they run rampant."

"My bottom line is Mianzhu."

Black Bear was not surprised and continued, "During this period, I will build more Jianshan Mansions and increase the storage of grain and military equipment. If my Yizhou family becomes arrogant in the future, I will allow you to do whatever you want. But the Mianzhu garrison cannot mobilize a single person. Even if you die outside the city gate, the garrison cannot move."

Seeing Li Feng's solemn expression, Black Bear smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. After I return, the Shu people will certainly incite the bandits to force you to mobilize the Mianzhu garrison. As long as the garrison is as still as a mountain, you will be as safe as a mountain. Fighting and suppressing bandits are the jobs of military officials, and you can just stay in Chengdu. If you die outside the city, the big families in Shu can still shirk responsibility, but if you die inside the city... I will let them die for you. It is much better to die in the city and keep the body intact than outside the city."

Li Feng listened and nodded repeatedly, especially the last sentence which was firmly remembered in his mind.

It doesn't matter whether you die for the cause or not. The key is to ensure that your body remains intact.

With this strange thought, Li Feng solemnly swore: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I would rather die than transfer a single soldier from Mianzhu. Even if I die, I will die in the prefecture."

This was already a double insurance policy. As long as the Mianzhu garrison was intact and had sufficient food reserves, the people of Yizhou would not dare to fall out.

Under such circumstances, Li Feng stayed in the city all day, or even stayed in the provincial capital to treat patients and research medicinal materials, making it even more difficult for the radicals to take action.

Li Feng could be considered the second most important person in Guanzhong Taiping Dao after Guo Tai, but Hei Xiong was still worried that this guy would be sold out by the people of Yizhou.

Before leaving, he escorted Li Feng to the corridor of the tower and asked, "Why are you taking up the post in Yizhou?"

"Reporting to the Lord, the first thing is to stabilize the situation and transport Shu brocade, cloth, gold, silver, copper, iron and lead to Guanzhong; the second is to reform the Tianshi Dao, and the third is to curb the big families and win over the weavers, blacksmiths and miners."

"And the fourth point is to keep yourself useful."

Black Bear took out this year's birthday peach and gave it to the other party: "There is a lot of malaria in the southwest. Eat this peach and you will return to Guanzhong in three years."

"Thank you, sir!"

Li Feng immediately noticed the difference of this peach and ate it as soon as he took it.

Seeing the peach core being recovered by the black bear, I felt even more how precious this peach is.
