Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying lived here in Zhuge Jun in Luoyang, and Zhuge Jun, a single dog, was sprinkled with dog food by the two of them every day.

Liu Yu really didn't know that there was such a big fish hidden under his nose, but it wasn't enough for him to be busy now. Well, busy counting money.

For Liu Yu's birthday this time, Liu Yu did not use the treasury, but used his own money, that is, the money and food spent by the Shaofu. Liu Yu was very worried that he had spent too much, so as soon as his birthday was over, he began to calculate it with Shaofuguan, Li Gui and others.

The final result is that Liu Yu made money this time. Since Liu Yu told him not to waste it, Shaofu was very careful when spending, so this expenditure was still not large. The gifts of civil and military officials, the spontaneous donations of the people, the filial piety of the merchants, and the gifts of the Han clan relatives, the combined income value of these things is many times higher than Liu Yu's expenditure.

"yes, that's well controlled. Shaofu's side is commendable, and we must work hard in the future. Reward the young government officials with 100 gold to encourage them. Liu Yu held the ledger and praised constantly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The young official wiped the sweat from his forehead, it is really not easy to do things under His Majesty.

For a long time, the young government official in the Han family is the largest position in oil and water, think about it, how big is the consumption expenditure of the royal family in a day, not to mention making a fuss about sporadic expenditures, just the outside businessmen are not willing to have a relationship with the royal family, these usual filial piety is indispensable. Under normal circumstances, the Son of Heaven would not care about his own expenses and income, and the young government officials were naturally rich.

But when it came to Liu Yu, it changed.

Liu Yu himself is not a person who likes extravagance and waste, and he will be careful about daily use, and will check the account books every month, once someone is found to be corrupt, then the young government official will be replaced immediately. By now, this young government official has changed the sixth one. Forget it, you can't make some fuss in the account book, then the young government official can get some filial piety from the cooperative businessmen. Who knew that Liu Yu handed over most of the procurement of the palace to his brother-in-law Huang Chong, and cut off another layer of income from the young government officials. Give a hundred guts, and the young government officials don't dare to ask Huang Chong for filial piety, and he wants to pay filial piety to the young government officials. Therefore, the young officials in Liu Yu's court have always been the worst. It's just that Huang Chong can be a man, and he will give a certain amount of kickbacks to the young government officials every month, although it is not much, but at least it can make the young government officials not have a tight life.

After settling the accounts, Liu Yu asked Shaofu to sell all the things that could be sold, Liu Yu felt that these things could not be eaten or used, and it was better to exchange them for real things like food, which would be more useful. What can't be sold will be put into Liu Yu's treasure trove, such as the jade and jade grapes. And Pang Tong's bucket of ginger was buried by Liu Yu in an open space in the imperial garden, and when it grows up in the future, the imperial dining room does not need to go out to buy ginger, and it is directly dug up and used. It can be seen how picky Liu Yu is, even a little ginger has to be saved.

Some time ago, in Xiangyang City, Jingzhou, which is far away from Luoyang, Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, suddenly fell to the ground during a banquet, which frightened the entire Jingzhou civil and military forces.

Liu Biao's body is not very good, and he doesn't know what nerves he has recently, and he indulges in wine every day, which makes his already weak body even weaker. The officials, generals and families in Jingzhou all knew that Liu Biao had reached the end of his life. Maybe tomorrow if it's not good, Liu Biao will hang up.

The stable situation in Jingzhou is now hanging by Liu Biao, everyone knows that as soon as Liu Biao dies, then the whole Jingzhou will be in chaos, and there is no telling how many people will die at that time.

And Cai Mao, who holds a lot of power, began to expand his actual power, and began to suppress and depose some families and officials who usually did not deal with him, completely acting as Liu Biao's power. Families and officials dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and many chose to compromise. Their compromise made Cai Mao even more unscrupulous, and took action against the Kuai family, which was the most powerful civil official in Jingzhou. It's just that Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang are not easy to bully, and immediately counterattacked Cai Mao, making Cai Mao suffer the first defeat in the expansion of power in Jingzhou. The relationship between the Kuai family and the Cai family was originally an alliance, but now it has been destroyed by Cai Mao. Cai Mao's staff kept persuading Cai Mao to restore reconciliation with the Kuai family, otherwise it would be very detrimental to Cai Mao's plans in Jingzhou. Cai Mao accepted the advice of the staff and personally went to Kuai's house with the gift. Cai Mao's personal door-to-door gesture played a very important role. Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang didn't want to tear their faces with Cai Mao, so after discussing it for a while, the two brothers decided to reconcile with Cai Mao. It's just that Cai Mao has to pay a little price for her previous rudeness. Cai Mao also understood that in order to make the Kui brothers believe in their sincerity, the necessary concessions must be given, and Cai Mao did not have any problems with the requirements put forward by the Kui brothers, and agreed very happily.

As for what the price was, Cai Mao and the Kuai brothers did not make it public, but everyone knew that they had reached a secret agreement.

Many families are sad about their future prospects in Jingzhou, while others are unwilling to sit idly by.

One of them has already started his own actions, and he is "Mr. Water Mirror" Sima Hui.

Sima Hui came to Pang's house again to meet Pang Degong.

"Shang Chang, it's time for us to act! Cai Mao and the Kuai brothers have secretly reached an agreement, they are ready to carve up Jingzhou, we can't wait any longer. Sima Hui said with a serious face.

Pang Degong also received the news that the Cai family and the Kuai family were united, and now that the two of them have reached an agreement, this is very bad news for the Pang family.

"Well, I agree! Shi Yuan's kid doesn't have to worry about it, just let the old man make the decision. Pang Degong nodded in agreement.

After Sima Hui got Pang Degong's approval, he immediately embarked on the road to Xinye.

"Hey, is Jingzhou, which has been peaceful for a long time, going to be in the middle of a war?" Pang Degong sighed with compassion. "Can my Pang family survive this turmoil?"

Pang Degong thought of Pang Tong, and thought a little puzzled: Where did this bastard kid go? Haven't been back for so long.

Sima Hui here is galloping on the road to Xinye, he is now going to implement his plan, if it succeeds, Jingzhou will be stable.

"Liu Xuande, don't let me down, I have arranged the core of the plan on you." Sima Hui said leisurely.
