Governing the country and governing the world, in theory, Zheng Xuan must be very proficient. He also knew a lot about the common people like water, water can carry boats and overturn boats, and so on.

However, it is not easy to know some things, but it is not easy to achieve them.

He really didn't know if what Liu Xian was doing could be realized, but he had some expectations in his heart, hoping that Liu Xian could do it.

In fact, Liu Xian still has something to say.

What is it? It's money.

Whatever you want to do, you have to have money.

If you don't have money, you can't talk about anything, it's hard to get started, you can't do anything.

Therefore, everything that Liu appears in is actually based on his own money.

From the very beginning of the formation of the Self-Defense Force in Liulin Village, to the mobilization of the people of Beihai County, it has been built on the basis of the support of the economic foundation. If there is no money, then everything is empty.

At the beginning, Liu Xian's money was not much, and the money left by Liu Xian's Liu Mansion in Liulin Village was only enough for Liu Xian to form a villager self-defense force of more than ten people at that time, and the food at that time was only enough for Liu Xian to buy the hearts of the people of more than 300 people in a village and town.

Later, they also took advantage of the greed of Yangshi County and took profits as a lure, so that they could deceive a large amount of grain and harvest the hearts of the people of Yangshi County.

Everything that followed was actually built on the basis of having more money and food, so that it was possible to develop.

But money is gone, so Liu Xiancai built the Liu Mansion caravan and made more benefits from it. With money, it is equivalent to having a foundation for development, so that we can buy more food, feed more people, and build more armies.

Some things are all a cycle, and it is impossible to lack a link, but it is difficult for Liu Xian to explain them one by one.

The main thing is that in this ancient era, agriculture was valued over business, if you talk about economy and business with a great Confucian like Zheng Xuan, they will definitely teach you a serious lesson. Therefore, many times, Liu Xian has done some things well, and there is no need to talk to them.

Zheng Xuan's disciples, although they all studied under Zheng Xuan, they each had their own strengths, so Liu Xian could arrange for them to hold official positions with different responsibilities in the Beihai County Government.

Have a good time, and rest away.

Liu Xian naturally rested in Zheng Mansion for one night under the arrangement of Zheng Xuan's son Zheng Zheng.

That night, Jiang Bin and other officers and soldiers from the imperial court, who were also stationed outside, did not dare to do anything wrong.

The next day, Zheng Xuan's family, as well as some villagers in the same village who were willing to leave, a total of dozens of people, left the Zheng Mansion under the escort of Liu Xian's 300 people.

The Zheng Mansion is left to one of Zheng Xuan's clan brothers to take care of, and his clan brother will continue to recruit disciples here in the future and teach some children to read and write.

This can be regarded as a legacy left by Zheng Xuan here.

Jiang Bin saw that Zheng Xuan was going to be taken away by Liu Xian, he was naturally very unwilling, he blocked the road and questioned, Zheng Xuan once again said that he was unwilling to follow him into Beijing, and only wanted to go to Liufu College in Liulin Village to serve as a teacher.

Liu Xian intervened strongly, and the swords of both sides were angry, but in the end, Jiang Bin still didn't dare to forcibly rob people, so he could only watch Liu Xian's people escort Zheng Xuan and them slowly left.

Not long after, the people sent by Jiang Bin to Beihai to listen to the intelligence came back, knowing that what Liu Xian said was true, and that he had indeed defeated the 20,000 or 30,000 Taishan Yellow Turban Army, and understood that Liu Xian was indeed not easy to mess with. There is no way, in history, they should have successfully coerced Zheng Xuan to go to Luoyang Capital, but this time, they could only return to their lives in disgrace.

As for how Jiang Bin and these officers and soldiers returned to the capital to return to He Jin, and what would happen to He Jin, Liu Xian naturally didn't care. No matter what, for Liu Xian, it is just a matter of soldiers coming to block and water to cover up.

Now the Han court, because of Liu Xian's relationship with the nobles of the plain palace, has sent Wang Yue to assassinate him. Even the emperor sent assassins to assassinate him, Liu Xian survived such a crisis and was not afraid. He Jin, a general, wants to deal with himself, and Liu Xian will naturally not be afraid and worried.

It was already very late when I returned to Beihai County, after all, I didn't walk fast with some women and children.

Because of the relationship between the Yellow Turban Army that has just defeated the attackers, at night, Beihai City will still have a curfew, and the city gates will be closed early.

But Liu Xian is back, so there will naturally be no problem entering the city.

The Liu Mansion caravan was still in the city, and Liu Xian originally planned to go to the place where the Liu Mansion caravan settled in the city first, but Kong Rong came and asked Liu Xian to go to the Kong Mansion.

The meeting is naturally a cold noise, Zheng Xuan and Kong Rong also know each other, but they do not have a deep friendship, this time they meet, there is a sense of sympathy, if it is not too late, Zheng Xuan is also tired, Kong Rong is afraid that he will immediately let people set up a banquet to entertain.

The next day, Liu Xian took Zheng Xuan's three disciples to Taishou Mansion and asked Liu Jie to settle them. As for the officials in their original positions, they are used for other purposes.

To be honest, most of the officials in the Taishou Mansion are unqualified, and it can be said that many people are more excessive than Liu Jie, and they have no ability at all. For such a person, Liu Xian asked Liu Jie to persuade him to retire.

Liu Xian has also set some rules for Liu Jie, requiring every official in service to fulfill his or her duties. Because from now on, whether they fulfill their duties or not will be related to the security of the entire Beihai region, even if it may not be related, but Liu Xian will be involved. If an incumbent official is unable to take on his or her duties, it is best to resign on his own so as not to be held accountable afterwards.

Because of this, many officials have indeed resigned on their own. Therefore, now that the Taishou Mansion is now vacant, many official positions have indeed been vacated.

This is still Beihai, and there are more than 10 county towns under Beihai, and now, the county commanders of many counties have resigned by themselves, and they need to send another county magistrate to preside over government affairs.

In fact, the county order needs to be appointed by the imperial court, and a county taishou has no right to appoint. Like in Jizhou, Huangfu Song was the pastor of Jizhou at that time, and he had the right to appoint the county order, but after the appointment, he had to report to the imperial court.

Therefore, now that Liu Jie wants to appoint a county order, he has to report to the Qingzhou Mansion and the imperial court. Therefore, it is now generally a substitute for the prefectural order.

Liu Xian came to Beihai County mainly to propose marriage to Kong Rong, and now this matter has been completed. Liu Xian was already able to return to Liulin Village.

However, in order to better govern and control Beihai County, Liu Xian did not leave immediately, and stayed behind to formulate many suitable regulations and regulations according to the situation in Beihai, and let Liu Jie implement them.

With Liu Xian in charge here, the officials below naturally did not dare to disobey the order, and through the decree issued by Liu Jie, they all implemented it meticulously.

Soon, Beihai City was basically in order.

First of all, it was a matter of the reserve army, and Beihai City selected nearly 20,000 people from among the young and strong people. These 20,000 people will be trained by Zheng Qing, and as for how to train these military horses, Liu Xian also asked Zheng Qing to train them separately according to the actual situation.

In order to train these 20,000 horses, Liu Xian deliberately left nearly 300 people from the caravan guards he brought with him, and asked them to assist Zheng Qing in training.

Archers, spearmen, shield soldiers, cavalry, etc., each branch of the army is trained separately, and at the same time, Zheng Qing will be allowed to train the military formation and try the ability of each branch to fight together.

In this way, the Beihai government, plus the original 2,000 officers and soldiers, actually has 22,000 men. The government has these horses, and invisibly, this deterrent force will naturally rise. As a result, the original powerful and wealthy families in Beihai City could only follow some government decrees.

It can be said that strength is indeed dominant.

Therefore, following this, some of the policies for the benefit of the people implemented by Liu Xian in Beihai have also been smoothly implemented for the time being.

For example, Liu Xian demanded that in Beihai, land rent and taxes must be reduced, and in order to reduce the burden of ordinary people, some places must be completely exempted.

For some landlords and tyrants, this temporary reduction of land rent and tax has not yet touched their most fundamental interests, so they can only agree to implement it under the strong situation of the government.

But Liu Xian is in Beihai, and he really can't move all the sets carried out in Yangshi County and Liulin Village to Beihai. If the land of some landlords and tyrants is to be returned to the government and then distributed to the landless people for cultivation, this is very unpopular in Beihai for the time being. If it is implemented like this here, then it will be tantamount to moving the basic interests of those landlords and tyrants. When the time comes, they still have to fight with Liu Xian?

In this ancient era, no matter how enlightened the landlords and tyrants were, they could not take out their own fields and distribute them to the people who had nothing to do with them.

In some special places, such as Yangshi County and Liulin Village, Liu Xian can barely do this, but it really doesn't work in Beihai.

Yangshi County and Liulin Village have completely suffered from the scourge of the Yellow Turban Army, and social order has long collapsed. Liu Xian's governance of Yangshi County, Liulin Village and other places is tantamount to breaking and then standing. The landlords and tyrants in those places were simply unable to resist the implementation of those policies, so that they could be carried out smoothly and without causing any major trouble.

In addition, Liu Xian promoted some industrial and commercial protection laws in Beihai, encouraged the people of Beihai to do business, and promoted some handicrafts in Beihai.

In fact, Liu Xian has taken care of all aspects, but there are many things that cannot be done overnight, and they all have to be done step by step. It is even necessary to introduce new policies and decrees according to the current situation.

Generally speaking, the current Beihai government is to grasp one center to develop, that is, everything must be centered on the security of the Beihai Sea, and issue a decree to govern the Beihai.

Under the premise of this center, everyone in Beihai should work hard and contribute to the security of Beihai. Under such a premise, in other aspects, it may harm the interests of those nobles, landlords and tyrants, so they will endure it silently.

That's the situation.

A few days later, Liu Xian gave Liu Jie a rough explanation, so that he could withdraw and plan to return to Liulin Village.

Because of the attack on Beihai by the Taishan Yellow Turban Army this time, Kong Rong also felt that it was indeed a little dangerous to stay in Beihai, and he was not very relieved, he felt that relatively speaking, Yangshi County and Liulin Village were indeed safer than Beihai. In this way, he simply asked Mrs. Kong and Kong Xue to return to Liulin Village with Liu Xian.

As for the auspicious day of the zodiac when Liu Xian and Kong Xue got married, they were also chosen, and they asked Zheng Xuan to help choose them. The date is set for the month after January.

In this way, now that Kong Xue is returning to Liulin Village with Liu Xian, then there is no need to wait for a month, Liu Xian will come to marry her again, and she can directly get married in Liulin Village, and at that time, Mrs. Kong can also be present to witness.

As for the Liufu caravan, because Beihai was attacked by the Yellow Turban Army, all the goods brought by the caravan were not sold. There is no way to do this, and it was originally planned to sell it in the county below, but now the situation may be difficult to do.

But it doesn't matter, Liu Xian has already purchased an industry in Beihai City, and the merchants who came with the Liu Mansion caravan can store their goods in Liu Xian's shop for sale. If there are not many goods, Liu Xian can even pay them first, but there must be a discount for this price.

They can also choose to stay until they have processed their wares, or even buy some local produce before going back. The Liu Mansion caravan will also leave a lot of people behind. Of course, if you go back at that time, it may not be as safe as returning with Liu Xian.

Merchants are profit-seeking, and there are really many merchants who come with the Liu Mansion caravan who are willing to stay first and go back after dealing with their goods.

These are their freedoms, and Liu Xian will not interfere.

In this way, the return journey is not so large in comparison.

With the addition of a thousand caravan guards, the return party was only four or five thousand people.

Liu Xian left Huang Zhong behind, after all, if the Taishan Yellow Turban Army attacked again, it would be better to have a super fierce general in charge.

Liu Xian's carriage was naturally ridden by Cai Yan and Kong Xue, and Kong Rong also prepared carriages for his wife and some women and children such as Zheng Xuan.

Bidding farewell to Kong Rong and Beihai officials, the group first went out of the city from the north gate of the city, first went north to cross the river, and then transferred to Yangshi County, Julu County, such a route would be much safer.

After leaving Beihai City, Cai Yan and Kong Xue called Liu Xian into the carriage.

Kong Xue liked Liu Xian's carriage very much, after all, this comfort was really good, better than the carriage she had ridden before.

Liu Xian felt guilty about Cai Yan, after all, she couldn't accompany her well in Beihai, and Liu Xian took her to Confucius Mansion to propose, which is really a very aggrieved thing for a woman.

Fortunately, Cai Yan was not dissatisfied with Liu Xian because of this, and got along well with Kong Xue, Liu Xian felt that such an intellectual and empathetic woman was really rare.

Therefore, I love her very much from the bottom of my heart.
