After discussing the plan of "how to deal with the imperial court in the future, if the court still has to toss blindly",

The next day, Li Su took Zhang Chun's head and Liu Bei's performance and was escorted by Zhao Yun to Jixian County, reported to Liu Yu, and by the way, asked for orders to cross the border to pursue the remnants of the Wuhuan rebels.

Liu Bei, on the other hand, stayed in Xiang'an and cleaned up the place, and by the way, according to the method he discussed with Li Su, he prepared back-up countermeasures in terms of personnel.

On the third day after Li Su left, it was also the day when another wave of Mijia merchant fleets transported grain to Liaodong and transported away the surplus horses captured on the battlefield.

Because sea ships could not enter the tributaries of the Xiaoliao River, Mi Zhu's fleet was only transported to Liaojiao County, where the Liao River forked, and then to the last 200 miles of waterway in Xiangping, where Liu Bei's people were transferred by inland river boats.

For this matter, near the Liao Tunnel along the river fortress built by the rebels before, the Han army used Minfu to expand a merchant ship wharf, and in just half a month, it became a merchant port town, as the place of river and sea transshipment, it looks thriving.

For this reason, Liu Bei specially returned to the Liao Tunnel from Xiangping for 200 miles, just to say some confidant words to Mi Zhu, who had personally escorted the arrival of the fleet again.

Mi Zhu was quite surprised, and saw Liu Bei hurriedly saluting: "The prince of the mansion has something, just summon Zhu to Xiangping to visit, why bother to visit in person." Please, please, sit upstairs. ”

In the Liao Tunnel Commercial Port Town, a two-story restaurant has been built now, which is also a supporting industry of the Mi family.

Although it is not as luxurious as the luxury places in Xuzhou, it is also more grade than the original restaurants and inns in Xiangping City, and it is a place where Mizhu specializes in business and treats people.

Liu Bei came in person, of course, he had to give the best treatment.

In the best private room on the second floor, after the guest and host sat down, Liu Bei got straight to the point: "Zi said, people must have near-term worries if they have no long-term concerns, although Zhang Chun is determined, the court has not stopped." Everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, you can't plan ahead.

Bei is a general of the battle, and the herdsmen are not my strength, so far it is all thanks to Boya, Zijing and Zizhong. Now that the spring and autumn period is high, I have recently heard rumors in Beijing that the dragon's body is getting worse, and if it is weak and chaotic, it will be transferred to other places to quell the rebellion, and the people who are not in the heart of Liaodong cannot be entrusted to ......"

When Mi Zhu heard this, his breathing became slightly short, but he was very self-aware, and hurriedly showed that he had no ambition: "Even so, Boya is a great sage in the world, known for knowing the destiny of heaven and having a strategy in the world, and has been in contract with the prince for several years, so why not trust him with great things?" ”

Liu Bei waved his hand: "It is because Boya and I have a deep contract, Enruo brother, the world knows it." If it really comes to the time when the court suspects me of separation, it is useless to leave Boya, and I need to cooperate with the officialdom for a short time, and I don't seem to have a deep friendship, but in fact, I am an older person who can be trusted by a gentleman.

If that day comes, this person does not need to be aggressive, as long as he guards the place, protects the territory and the people, and makes Liaodong a paradise outside the world, and the talent of Boya is enterprising and not in the ......."

Liu Bei said this, and if he was still so private, Mi Zhu would react even if he was a fool.

He relied on Liu Bei to get into officialdom, although his business in Xuzhou was big over the years, he had been worried that the world was chaotic and he could not keep his family business, and there was no safe and stable base to keep his wealth.

Liaodong can be used as a source of goods for war horses, cattle, sheep, and fur business, and the sea business will come originally.

Isolated from the outside world, it was a good place for Scrooge. In particular, Mi Zhu mastered the construction technology of sand boats equipped with stable fins, which was assigned to him by Li Su, and the secrecy work has been good for a year, and the stability of the sea route boat, the Mi family dares to say that he is the second in the Han Dynasty, and absolutely no one dares to say the first.

With these conditions, if Liaodong can be used as the rear of the Mi family to keep the industry, how much of a gift will it be?

On the other hand, Mi Zhu can be regarded as an official who is about a thousand stones.

Although he has never been shy about being an official who "works for the imperial court to lose money and donate money", and his qualifications are not long and his promotion is too fast.

But before the death of the Spirit Emperor, this protective color was very useful. Because Liu Bei and Li Su have always had the reputation of Qingde who "does not pay for the palace money", it is easy to make people think that Mi Zhu and Liu Bei are just buying and selling cooperative relations, rather than private cooperation.

Since ancient times, the words have been ruthless, the drama is meaningless, and there is no business or treachery. Who would believe that a profit-seeking businessman would have a relationship with a business partner?

And if Liu Bei wants to recommend the person in charge of Liaodong in the future, the biggest excuse is that "after the initial decision of the Liaodong rebels, they are facing the current situation of being scraped into extreme poverty by the rebels", so they need a "big government with strong intervention, not to rule by inaction, but to plan the economy and tuntian".

With a strong government in a planned economy, who is in charge of the most suitable one? Of course, it is the most suitable for a big businessman who is an official with money and business experience! At that time, Mi Zhu will be a large enterprise and a big investor who saves the people in Liaodong. With the idea of Emperor Ling selling officials, he will definitely feel that this is very suitable. (However, in the first few months when Dong Zhuo came to power, he wantonly purged the incompetent and talented eunuchs who bought officials to make room to curry favor with Qingliu, and this period of time was the most dangerous)

As for those Confucianists who talk empty words and rule by doing nothing, they are completely unsuitable for such a period of planned economic management.

Thinking of this, Mi Zhu didn't hesitate anymore, immediately straightened up, knelt down solemnly, and bowed to Liu Bei: "Zhu already knows the concerns of the prince." Fu Jun is willing to consult with each other with such a heartfelt matter, and the feeling of trust is within five of Zhu Ming.

Even so, Zhu is also willing to promise three things, so that the prince of the palace can rest assured, and there is no doubt: first, if the prince of the palace is really transferred by the imperial court on the day and can be entrusted with Liaodong affairs, Zhu is willing to pour half of the family resources with 20,000 ...... No, it's 30,000 dollars to help the army!

Second, Zhu's eldest son Wei, who is now eight years old, and Zhu has another son who is only three years old, so it is inconvenient to travel far.

Third, Zhu has a young sister, this year is fourteen, can be a broom, Nian Mansion Jun to avoid the suspicion of the court, then can not be married with a proper court, so secretly sent to the house, with a concubine secret pet is also harmless. The above-mentioned money to help the army should also be given as a secret, which can be regarded as the gift of the dog's apprenticeship to Mr. Boya, and the makeup of the sister to serve the king. ”

Mi Zhu's posture in this life seems to be lower than in his previous life.

There is no way, who made Liu Bei's original status higher in this life, and his Liaodong Taishou was also fought by himself, which is equivalent to climbing to the position of one-third of the state pastors.

Mi Zhu, as a person who followed Liu Bei to gain official merit, only gave more money and married his sister more humbly - what Liu Bei wanted to guard against was to let outsiders see that he and Mi Zhu had a marriage, so Mi Zhen couldn't even have the status of a concubine for the time being, so as not to let outsiders see the PY transaction here.

It is estimated that if he really has to take this step of spare tire chess, at least after the young emperor is killed by Dong Zhuo, Mi Zhu will also pull up the banner of Dong and pretend to shout, and then he can slowly expose the fact that his sister is Liu Bei's concubine.

As for money, the Mi Zhu family originally couldn't take out 300 million cash, according to the original history, the total assets of the Mi family are estimated to be three or four billion, and many are fixed assets. But in this life, Mi Zhu didn't catch up with Liu Bei in advance, and did so many additional horse selling businesses in the process of leveling Liaodong, as well as dealing with the sale of stolen goods plundered by the rebels, which quickly snowballed to more than 500 million family assets.

made an extra one or two hundred million, and Mi Zhu dared to say that he would give 300 million to help the army when he donated most of his family property. For getting a base that he has the final say for a long time, and winning the highest friendship of such a promising hero as Liu Bei, Mi Zhu feels that even 300 million is worth it.

Of course, the premise is still the same sentence: this spare tire solution for the worst-case scenario will have to be used until the day it has to be used.

……

After discussing it with Mi Zhu, Liu Bei also fell to the ground with a stone in his heart.

Before leaving, Liu Bei also took extra care: If the imperial court really appoints Mi Zhu to preside over the work of Liaodong, how much money should be given for the specific official position, Mi Zhu will take care of himself.

Of course, Mi Zhu has no objection to this, and said that it should be done, even if it is doubled, as long as it can be appointed.

In the next half month, Liu Bei inspected the people's situation in various parts of Liaodong, checked and filled in the gaps, and recuperated.

During this period, he also moved his muscles and bones slightly, and slightly rectified the surrounding Dongyi. But when he found that all the Dongyi were very vegetable, there was nothing to fight at all, so Liu Bei softened in a word.

Taking Goguryeo as an example, after Liu Bei had an in-depth understanding, he learned that Goguryeo now has more than 30,000 households and a population of more than 100,000.

Moreover, there are only more than 10,000 peasants, and they are concentrated in a small river valley plain at the mouth of the Sancha River on the north bank of the Yalu River, which is also the capital of Goguryeo and the only city "domestic city".

In addition to the more than 10,000 peasant citizens in the domestic city, the remaining 150,000 Goguryeo people are all fishing and hunting, distributed in the south of Xiaoliaoshui, the Yalu River and the Changbai Mountain, because of the cold climate, even the fields cannot be planted.

In other words, as long as Liu Bei followed Xi'an Ping County in Liaodong County (later Dandong, at the mouth of the Yalu River) and traced the Yalu River to the end of the domestic city, then Goguryeo would have no political power, only more than 100,000 savage hunters running around the Changbai Mountain.

You can't fight this kind of savage regime if you want to, so Liu Bei just easily "beheaded more than 1,000 people", and the Goguryeo people completely recognized the ruling scope of the Han Dynasty again, and spit out all the benefits of the previous troubled times.

It is estimated that it is better to fight Silla and Baekje to the south, and at least they can grab some fertile fields that can be farmed. But in fact, Baekje didn't dare to rob the Han people at all, as long as the Han people farmed in the open space from Lelang County to the southern circle, the Baekje people would give up these open lands and find another place-

Historically, it was in 204, the year when Yuan Tan was attacked and killed by Cao Cao, that Gongsun Kang built Obifang County south of Lelang, and the territory was equivalent to the agricultural area between the Datong River and the Han River in later generations, that is, from Kaesong to Hancheng. Baekje and Silla didn't fart at all. Now that Liu Bei has formed a powerful power in the Northeast in advance, if he wants to do what Gongsun Kang did fifteen years in advance, it is estimated that no one will be able to resist.

It's a big deal that the authority of the imperial court is still there, and Liu Bei didn't dare to establish the name of Fang County, but continued to reclaim the land in the south in the name of Lelang County.

After more than half a month of farming and combing, Li Su finally came back from Liu Yu in Jixian County.

Just report to Liu Yu and ask for help, in fact, the horse will go back and forth in ten days. The reason why it took more time was that Liu Yu persuaded him to wait for the reward from the imperial court, so Li Su waited for Liu Yu's envoy to travel 500 miles a day to and from Luoyang in eight days.

After getting Zhang Chun's head and confirming the pacification of Liaodong, he immediately cashed in the reward he had already thought of, officially named Liu Bei as the Taishou of Liaodong, and changed his captain to the general of Liao.

Li Su is still the long history of Liaodong, but he has taken over the position vacated by Liu Bei with the addition of Captain Wuhuan.

At this point, Liu Bei finally became a general with two thousand stones, and Li Su was also a captain with two thousand stones.

In terms of titles, Liu Bei was added as the Marquis of Xiangping Township, and Li Su was the Marquis of Changli Ting.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the marquis of Duting.

In addition, when Liu Yu especially made contributions to the imperial court, he mentioned that Mi Zhu paid out of his own pocket to send a fleet to the sea to transport grain to the imperial court counterinsurgency army, and overcame the supply difficulties of the 400-mile uninhabited area in the western Liaoning corridor, ensuring the logistics of the army.

At the end of the reply, Liu Yu also left a message for Liu Bei, agreeing with him that "at the right time, cross the border to pursue the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Wusu Department and share the worries of the imperial court".

Seeing Liu Yu's action of helping to bear the pressure, Liu Bei was moved to tears, and secretly swore to be loyal to Liu Yu to the end in this life.
