"Your Majesty, the ten military camps in Rinan Prefecture have not harvested enough food this year, and even the livestock have died of various plagues. This year, we will allocate grain and grass from Jiaozhou again."

Gongsun Sheng said with some sorrow.

Since Liu Yu established ten military towns in Rinan Prefecture, he has been in debt almost every year.

Either there will be drought this year, floods next year, or heavy rainstorms against the tide.

It can be said that the entire military camp in Rinan Prefecture has been deficits year after year.

"Then allocate grain and grass from the Jiaozhou Treasury. It's raining again, so you must not delay it." Liu Yu said.

"Your Majesty, Jiaozhou is also very famine this year. Apart from reserved and reserved for famine, there are probably not many food and grass in the treasury." Gongsun Sheng was a little embarrassed.

When Liu Yu heard this, he was also a little headache.

Jiaozhou is next to Rinan Prefecture outside the Great Wall. If food and grass are transferred from other prefectures and counties, I am afraid the journey will be too long.

Once it encounters rain, it will be delayed.

Just when Liu Yu was in a dilemma, Gongsun Sheng spoke.

"However, I heard that Lingnan County and Jiaonan have been well-fed in the past two years. There should be a lot of grain and grass reserves, maybe it's OK."

"There are not many people in Lingnan County, and even if there is food and grass, there are probably not many. If it were Jiaonan, it might be possible to really take out a lot of them."

Liu Yu instantly saw hope.

Since Jiao Nan's reign, the wars that have often occurred in previous years have basically stopped. In addition, there are very few recruitment for Jiao Nan, so there should be a lot of reserves.

"Your Majesty, the major tribes and families in Jiaonan still have real power. Even if the King of Jiaonan wants to recruit him, it may be a bit difficult."

Gongsun Sheng stared at Liu Yu and said.

The current King of Jiao Nan is the son of the daughter of Jiao Nan for Liu Yu.

When they forced Jiaonan as their nephew to think that the king had already caused many Jiaonans to be dissatisfied.

Now that we have to collect food, grass and goods, it is probably even more difficult.

"Hmph! Even if you are afraid of anything, I've been unhappy with Jiao Nan for a long time."

Liu Yu heard this, but he didn't care at all.

He named his son the King of Jiaonan, because he wanted to assimilate Jiaonan from top to bottom.

However, judging from the results in the past two years, the results are not ideal.

Unlike those ignorant and backward Hu tribes, Jiaonan itself has a high level of civilization, otherwise it would not have been possible to successfully restore the country before.

Except for accepting a nominal King of Jiaonan, the people of Jiaonan still maintained their original survival mode for the rest of the time.

Family forces of all sizes hold power, and almost all orders issued in the name of the King of Jiao Nan were slanderous.

Liu Yu had long wanted to free up his hands to deal with them.

"If it is the Jiaonan riot, it is to wipe them off directly. Anyway, the soldiers from the ten towns in Rinan Prefecture are almost Chi Chi, and some war experiences are better than reclaiming wasteland and farming every day." Liu Yu said with a smile.

When Gongsun Sheng heard this, he immediately understood.

Looking around the entire Han Dynasty, except for the foreign vassals in particularly far away places such as the Western Regions, there was no force that enjoyed special treatment like Jiaonan.

"Your Majesty, what if the disciples of the south and the other side of the country are obedient?"

Gongsun Sheng knew that Liu Yu wanted to clear the hidden dangers on his side of the bed, so he asked about another situation.

"Haha, if they obey orders, it would be easier."

Liu Yu continued with a relaxed look on his face.

"They can hand over the food and grass, which means they are still considering the current affairs."

"Since you are willing to know the current affairs, you must migrate all the Dingkou of Jiaonan and make Jiaonan an empty king forever."

After Liu Yu said that, he smiled proudly.

"If we can eliminate the hidden dangers in Jiaonan, then from Baishan to Rinan water in the future, it can be used as a place to reserve wintering on the grassland. Once it encounters heavy rain, both cattle, sheep and horses can survive."

After many years of war, the entire Central Plains region has a very serious lack of population labor. Whether men or women, they have worked hard to reclaim land and cultivate, and they can only increase the output by one or two cents.

On the grassland, what I fear most is the heavy rain and severe rebellion. Not only does it block the road from the white rain, but it can also freeze cattle, sheep, horses, and even people to death.

If the Jiaonan people could be moved to the pass, it would be able to improve the production of the Central Plains by several degrees.

The territory of Jiaonan that was left behind can be used as a place to accommodate some grassland herders for winter, or directly used to raise horses for the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, Jiao Nan may not agree at all."

"I don't care whether Jiaonan or not agree. As long as it is beneficial to us, Jiaonan people must be conscious of accepting losses."

"If Your Majesty wants to make such a plan, it is better to find a way to get all the food, grass and money from Jiaonan. In this way, the soldiers of the ten towns of Rinan Prefecture will also have food, grass and grass reserves, and then it will not be too late to clean up Jiaonan."

If Liu Yu wanted to use thunder means to Jiao Nan, then Gongsun Sheng would first squeeze out the most oil and water.

"If a small Jiaonan is not handled properly, it will become a big trouble in the future."

Liu Yu affirmed Gongsun Sheng's idea and asked him to let go.

Whether it is stealing or robbing, as long as you can cheat someone and pay for it, it is considered a great achievement.

In the dense forests of Baishan Mountain in Lingnan, close to the Central Plains, there is a force like Jiaonan with a level of family and country civilization, which is definitely a very terrible hidden danger.

Liu Yu had made up his mind, no matter what reputation he had, as long as he could swallow Jiao Nan.

Soon, as the envoy of the Emperor of Luoyang drove towards Lingnan, a major news about Lingnan also spread to the ears of Jiaonan people.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately made the people of Jiaonan secretly happy.

According to the news that the separatist rule came out of Lingnan County, the Han emperor in Luoyang intended to allow the Jiaonan people to attach to Lingnan County, and retain their original family and tribes, without being bound by the Han county and county governments, and also set up a guardian Jiaonan lieutenant, who was appointed by the King of Jiaonan.

As soon as this news came out, all the people in Jiaonan couldn't help but feel happy.

They had long coveted the fertile land of Lingnan for many generations. If it weren't for the previous Murong Xianbei, the people of Jiaonan would have come forward to snatch it.

Now it's better. I pinched my nose and recognized a "King of Jiaonan". Now there is such a good thing.

You can get the land of Lingnan County in vain.

Although there was a guardian Jiao Nan's lieutenant, he was just a puppet. What really worked for him was the nobles of Jiao Nan.

In recent years, these Jiaonan nobles have all felt that their days of being "local overlords" will continue. After all, the warm and rich Central Plains of the Han people can be regarded as poor and bad waters.

Even when the Han court wanted to demarcate Lingnan County and resettle them, almost no one doubted it.

The people in the Central Plains have withered, and so many fertile fertile land cannot be cultivated. It is most normal for Lingnan County to give the hard-willed land to the southerners to cultivate.

Baishan, Maruto City.

The leaders of several major tribes in Jiaonan were gathering together to discuss the new news that had just been sent back from Lingnan County.

"The Han emperor had already planned to hand over Lingnan County to me to the southerners to cultivate, but how to divide the land and what kind of official positions to be granted is very different from what I thought before."

A middle-aged man from Jiaonan brought back the latest information.

"It's very different. What does that mean? Didn't the Han emperor plan to hand over the entire Lingnan County to us and then let us divide it by ourselves?" An old man from Jiaonan said in confusion.

For the rule of ban, only one king is required to be enthroned, and other things that follow are basically handled by the vassal states themselves.

"What will the Han emperor plan to do?"

Everyone asked curiously.

The envoy Jiao Nangong, who was responsible for bringing back the information, immediately said.

"The Emperor of Han has decided to divide Lingnan County into three small counties, and then expand it into double the number of counties and towns, and then sell all the land to us!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the nobles of Jiaonan were stunned for a moment.

It took a while before someone could recover.

"What did you say? They are going to sell us the official land of Lingnan County?"

These nobles in Jiaonan felt very incredible.

You should know that the Han emperors in the Central Plains attached the most importance to virtue and morality. Following the guidance of Confucian famous religion, they should be aware of money.

What's more, it's such a barely hawking official position.

"Didn't the Han emperor care about face the most? How could it be true?"

Someone immediately expressed his doubts, but this doubt was quickly lifted by the person who brought the news back.

"The person who presided over this matter in Lingnan County is Cui Wei and Cui Jun!"

"Cui Jun is from a noble family and will definitely not deceive us verbally. Moreover, a few years ago, Cui Jun was forced to escape by Murong Xianbei, and was once protected by our Jiaonan."

"You don't doubt this kind of friendship."

As soon as he heard Cui Wei's name, the old men in the house all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took their hearts back.

Cui Wei was the Dongyi Captain of the Jin Dynasty in the previous dynasty. He was originally a noble seed from the Cui family of Qinghe, so he would definitely not harm them.

At the warning of several nobles from Jiaonan, everyone believed the matter.

"Then tell me quickly, what price does the Han emperor plan to sell the land for the Lingnan county and county official land?" asked a man from the head of Jiaonan.
