Chapter 149: Mastering and Merging States

Wang Yun left the sad place of Taiyuan without telling anyone. Liu Yu, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", later learned about the changes that had taken place within the Wang family through the "dark department".

After dealing with Wang Dan's funeral, Liu Yu began to work as a state assassin.

There are eight counties in the state. They are: Shangdang County, Taiyuan County, Xihe County, Shang County, Yanmen County, Yunzhong County, Dingxiang County, Wuyuan County, Shuofang County. The Taishou of these eight counties, except for Liu Lin, the Taishou of Yanmen County, is Liu Yu's person, and the others are inextricably linked with the four major forces of Bingzhou.

With a population of nearly 700,000, it is one of the 12 states in the Eastern Han Dynasty with a relatively small population.

This is also why Liu Yu asked Lu Zhi last time to ask Lu Zhi to move some of the soldiers who surrendered to the Yellow Turban.

Of course, the 100,000 yellow turbans in Montenegro are not counted in the total population of the annexed state.

There were 100,000 troops, but most of them were stationed on the frontier.

The most special is Shuofang County. Shuofang County was a logistics base built during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to fight back against the Xiongnu, and its population was almost entirely composed of soldiers. At the same time, the population is also the smallest, with just over 10,000 people.

How to increase the population of the state is the top priority in front of Liu Yu.

At the same time, due to the death of Wang Dan, the position of the chief secretary of the state assassination history was vacant. Liu Yu had to find someone to fill the vacancy.

The four major forces in Bingzhou have shown favor to Liu Yu and are ready to take this important position. Back then, Wang Yun relied on his family power to push Wang Dan to the position of the main book.

Now these four forces are acting in the same way.

Among them, the most active is Wang Qi, who has just seized the position of head of the family. Although Wang Qi seized the position of the head of the family, there were also some people in the Wang family who were dissatisfied with him. Now Wang Qi urgently needs an official body to deter the disobedient people in the Wang family.

In order to win the position of the main book, Wang Qi exhausted all means. Money, beauties, and curiosities were all sent to Liu Yu.

However, Liu Yu was not very at ease with these families, and was ready to hand over the important position of the main book to Chen Gong, and euphemistically rejected Wang Qi's desire for the position of the main book.

Wang Qi was very disappointed.

However, Liu Yu did not have the strength to uproot the entire family in Bingzhou now, and after some discussion with Chen Gong, he also made a compromise.

After Chen Gong was promoted to the chief secretary, his previous position of counselor was filled by Wang Qi.

Although he couldn't get the position of the main book, but the advice doctor was not bad, and he was also a high authority, Wang Qi also happily accepted it, and at the same time said that the Wang family headed by himself must be the head of the assassin Shi.

Liu Yu knew that the Wang family was like a cancer in Bingzhou, constantly sucking the blood and sweat of the people in Bingzhou. But Liu Yu now needs the support of the Wang family, so he temporarily chose to compromise and eradicate these families when he has enough strength.

Liu Yu and Wang Qi are like Wang Ba's pair of mung beans, and the two began to hook up.

When Liu Yu and Wang Qi walked out of the Thorn History Mansion, the other three families knew that the Thorn History Mansion and the first family of Bingzhou were united. The three families congratulated each other very well.

With the help of the Wang family, Liu Yu mastered the state very smoothly.

The Wang family has also developed further under Liu Yu's acquiescence. Wang Qi's son Wang Tao was arranged by Liu Yu to enter the Assassin's Mansion and started as a clerk. Although Wang Tao is a child of a family, he is very talented, and he is very able to endure hardships, he does not dislike the lowly and small position of secretary, and works diligently every day, which makes Liu Yu, who originally had a bad impression of the children of the family, have a great change.

In order to solve the problem of the small population of the state, Liu Yu continued to recruit displaced people from surrounding states and counties. Emperor Fu Song, the assassin of Jizhou, was originally very troubled by the large number of displaced people in the territory, and after knowing that Liu Yu recruited the displaced people, he gave the green light so that the displaced people in Jizhou could enter the state smoothly.

Of course, Liu Yu smiled happily. The displaced people who have entered the merged state will be effectively resettled.

In view of the predicament of the lack of talent under his command, Liu Yu began to recruit talents. The Zhao family, the Li family, and the Yuan family also knew each other and let their children serve in Liu Yu's shogunate.

However, there are still too few talents in the state.

Liu Yu's head turned white.

Liu Yu has many top generals in his hands, but there is only one strategist, Chen Gong. Li Gui can only be regarded as an intelligence chief.

Chen Gong's work is very stressful, Liu Yu is a very unreliable lord, and many political affairs are handed over to Chen Gong.

Although he felt that he was very valued by Liu Yu, Chen Gong really wanted to have a helper.

In terms of the army, when Huang Zhong and Lü Bu took over the command of the army, they encountered some troubles.

The people of the state are fierce, and the soldiers are even more unruly. At the same time, almost all of the armies of the annexed states were divided among the local forces of the annexed states.

The generals of the state army are naturally from the family, and some of them are still some indiscriminate waste. They were quite dissatisfied with the fact that they had two more bosses on their heads, and they often resisted Huang Zhong and Lu Bu when they had nothing to do.

Lu Bu is a short-tempered person, if it weren't for Huang Zhong beside him, he might have cut down these people who disobeyed the command. For the sake of the overall situation, Huang Zhong chose to settle the matter.

Huang Zhong and Lu Bu's forbearance, but these generals thought that the two were afraid of them, and they were even more unscrupulous, treating the military camp as their own home.

Lu Bu, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally broke out, and personally killed several generals who disobeyed the military order, and hung their heads in the gate to show the public. On the same day, the army of Bingzhou mutinied, storming the big tent of Huang Zhong and Lü Bu.

Fortunately, Liu Yu brought five thousand wolf horsemen from Yanmen, otherwise Huang Zhong and Lu Bu would not have been able to control this mutiny.

Huang Zhong immediately ordered the wolf to attack.

The five thousand wolf horsemen pointed their butcher knives at the mutinous soldiers, killing all the soldiers who dared to storm the big tent, killing more than 1,500 people on the spot.

Blood is the best warning, and in the face of the bloody reality, the state army is all settled.

In order to improve the deterrent effect, Lu Bu built the heads of all the mutinous soldiers who were beheaded into a Jingguan outside the gate of the camp.

The soldiers of Bingzhou looked at Lu Bu who was so cruel, and they were even more frightened.

After receiving the news that their own martial artists would be killed, the four major families challenged Liu Yu together, asking Liu Yu to give them an explanation.

Liu Yu was so angry that he slapped the table.

Liu Yu was not angry Huang Zhong and Lu Bu who killed the generals who disobeyed the military order, but the four major forces of Qi actually dared to ask Liu Yu, the assassin of the history, to give them an explanation. Of course, Liu Yu ignored this unreasonable demand, and ordered Huang Zhong and Lu Bu to behead the generals who disobeyed the military order in the future.

Huang Zhong and Lü Bu, of course, were glad that Liu Yu was in charge of them, and began to rectify military discipline and recruit soldiers to make up for the reduction in the number of troops due to the mutiny.

The four major families dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, openly and secretly against Liu Yu. In the end, it was Wang Qi who came forward to mediate, and the relationship between the parties eased.

Huang Chong was appointed by Liu Yu as a lieutenant of the agricultural school, in charge of grain management. As a brilliant businessman, Huang Chong's economic acumen played a big role in this position.

Huang Chong found that the grain production in Bingzhou was very low, but there were many cattle, sheep and horses. The grain production in the Central Plains is high, but there are relatively few cattle, sheep and horses. Huang Chong took advantage of this price difference to organize a caravan to sell cattle, sheep and horses to the Central Plains, and then obtained funds to buy grain and transport it back to Bingzhou.

Huang Chong even took out the old grain from the grain depot and used it to make wine, and then sold it like the grassland area, and then exchanged it for cattle, sheep and horses.

Huang Chong's operation took half a year to fill the grain depot in Bingzhou.

Chen Gong looked at the full grain depot and admired Liu Yu's vision very much, who would have thought that Lord Assassin's brother-in-law was a business genius.

With money in his hands, food in his hands, and control of the army, Liu Yu took the state into his own hands.
