Chapter 222: Financial Constraints
"Thank you Lord for the cultivation. www.biquge.info"Zhong Xuan knew that Liu Yu attached great importance to Guanzhong, and he was here for this, so he didn't react much.
Liu Yu was a little puzzled, this is unreasonable, such a big official position is awarded to people, they should be grateful, and say some beautiful words.
Liu Yu asked, "Yuan Chang, why are you so calm?" ”
Zhong Xuan said calmly: "I am very grateful for the cultivation of the lord and am full of confidence in this appointment. I have already analyzed the situation under the lord and figured out the decision just now, so I am not too surprised in the next day, please don't blame the lord. ”
So awesome!
"Good! It seems that this king did not see the wrong person, and Guanzhong was handed over to Yuan Chang. Tomorrow morning, you can leave for it. I'll give you the greatest right, don't let me down. Liu Yu felt that Zhong Xuan's ability was worthy of his attention.
"I will definitely live up to the trust of my lord!" Zhong Xuan knelt in front of Liu Yu and kowtowed.
Liu Yu picked up Zhong Xuan and said affectionately: "Yuan Chang, this king is really happy. ”
Zhong Miao felt Liu Yu's true feelings, and it seemed that his decision was right.
After Zhong Xuan came out of Liu Yu, Tian Feng had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, and Huang Song was also beside him.
Tian Feng stepped forward and asked, "Yuan Chang, what's wrong?" Is it really what you think? ”
Zhong Xuan said with a smile: "The lord is indeed a sincere person, and he has been appointed as the lieutenant of the division and the commander of Chang'an, and he will take office tomorrow." ”
Tian Feng also knew Zhong Xuan's ability, and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Yuan Chang." ”
"I have to go back to prepare next, so I can't talk about it in more detail than Yuan Hao, and we'll see you in the future." Zhong Xuan is resolute and unwilling to waste too much time.
"Yuan Chang, please!" Tian Feng knew Zhong Xuan's character.
After Zhong Miao left, Tian Feng and Huang Song also entered the palace.
And Liu Yu also took advantage of the rare free time to warm up with his wife and son, little Liu Xuan was already able to speak, and the childish words made Liu Yu laugh for a while, and Huang Die felt very happy when he looked at the two fathers and sons who were playing together. Liu Yu thought to himself that if it was a peaceful and prosperous era now, how happy he would be to have such a wife and children, no matter whether he was poor or rich, it was much better than the current intrigue and battlefield battle.
Warmth is always short-lived, and the arrival of Tian Feng and Huang Song made Liu Yu have to start returning to his real world.
Liu Yu met Tian Feng and Huang Song in the study.
Liu Yu said: "Yuan Hao, Yuan Chang is worthy of great talent, your recommendation, this king will remember, work hard in the future." ”
"It's my duty." Tian Feng didn't dare to take credit.
"Is there anything else that Yuan Hao and his brother have come to do?" Liu Yu wanted to know what Tian Feng and Huang Song were looking for him because of this.
Tian Feng said: "I came here with Lord Huang today because of the emptiness of the treasury, and I came to report to the lord. ”
"The treasury is empty? Impossible. Last time, the people donated a lot of money and food, why is it empty now? Liu Yu was surprised.
Huang Song stepped forward and explained: "Lord Wang, originally because of the money and grain donated by the people, the treasury was sufficient. However, because of Han Sui's invasion, our army suffered a large number of casualties, and all kinds of money and food were consumed hugely, and many cities rebuilt in Guanzhong were destroyed by Han Sui and had to be rebuilt. When all kinds of uses are added up, the treasury can't support it. Here are the relevant usage accounts, please look at the prince. ”
Huang Song showed Liu Yu the prepared accounts.
"Is there a solution to this?" Seeing so much use, Liu Yu secretly wiped a cold sweat, he didn't expect such a big consumption.
"Lord Wang, there is really no way to do it." Huang Song was about to cry, this brother-in-law was so unreliable, he came to ask him for a solution this time, but he actually asked himself.
Tian Feng knows Huang Song's ability, Liu Yu's many expenses over the years have been provided by this eldest brother, Tian Feng is very appreciative of Liu Yu's relatives, this ability to create wealth is not something that ordinary people can do.
Tian Feng said to Liu Yu: "Lord, I can't wait, so I came to ask my lord for guidance." ”
This time it was Liu Yu's turn to frown. If Tian Feng and Huang Song have no choice, this matter will be a bit difficult.
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a way, Liu Yu said: "Gather all the civil and military forces in Luoyang to come to this king to discuss." ”
Liu Yu couldn't think of any way, so he could only brainstorm.
All of Liu Yu's core subordinates in Luoyang soon gathered in the Zhao Palace. Dong Cheng and Fu Wan and other ministers who were thieves were scared, and they guessed in their hearts that Liu Yu was going to use force on them?! All the ministers closed their doors and sent spies to find out Liu Yu's truth with great nervousness.
In King Zhao's mansion, there was already a heated discussion.
Tian Feng told everyone about the current situation, and everyone put forward their own opinions.
Some people have proposed raising taxes so that they can alleviate the immediate difficulties. Liu Yu knew that this was a good way, but a bad operation would cause corruption, and after thinking about it, Liu Yu still put this suggestion on hold.
Lu Bu proposed to send troops to the outside world as before, collect the property of foreign tribes, and make up for his own shortcomings. Liu Yu still disagreed, this was okay in the past, but now the army needs a huge amount of grain and grass as a backing, and the foreigners outside the fortress are so harmed by Liu Yu that they dare not approach the Great Wall, this idea is not very practical.
Dian Wei's idea is to have a way, he suggested that some corrupt officials should be rectified, and the house should be filled with the treasury.
Liu Yu is very pleased with Dian Wei's growth, this is a good way. Liu Yu also made a decision to do it according to Dian Wei's method. However, Tian Feng raised objections.
Tian Feng's reasons for opposing it are very good, and the state is where Liu Yu's foundation lies, and it has been rectified by Liu Yu early, and there are black sheep, but their family property is not enough for the government treasury. Needless to say, Guanzhong is dilapidated like that. Although there are many ministers in Luoyang, their subordinates are not very clean, but after Dong Zhuo's time, the ministers have not eased up now, and some ministers even need Liu Yu to support their daily needs. So the idea of Dian Wei was also shelved.
Dian Wei, whose proposal was shelved, once again proposed to take action against the family. Everyone present now began to wonder if Dian Wei had a hatred of the rich, how could he choose a rich person to do it.
After some debate, Dian Wei's proposal was once again shelved. Without him, now is not the time to do anything to the family, what Liu Yu needs is stability. Doing something to the family is likely to cause a lot of things that you don't want to see.
After discussing for a long time, no solution was reached, and Liu Yu finally announced the dismissal of the meeting and discussed it tomorrow!
