Of course, Liu Hong would not really let Liu Tao be the chef, looking at his embarrassed expression, he felt that this was a good after-dinner pastime.

"Although I haven't actually seen the drill, the soldiers are in good spirits and full of fighting spirit." Liu Hong stood up, "The food surprised me a little, or rather, the cooking skills of General Yulin Zhonglang surprised me very much." ”

"Your Majesty has praised it." Liu Tao hurriedly replied.

"I know you want to fight more, but stay in Luoyang for the past two years. Besides, this yellow scarf was initially decided, although there are still some remnants in various places, just hand it over to the county guards. It's just that in the past few years, there will be turmoil from time to time, and naturally there will be times when you will fight. Liu Hong walked up to Liu Tao and said with relief.

In fact, he was also worried that not fighting Liu Tao for too long would make him unhappy. After all, young people in their twenties have to do nothing, which is very uncomfortable.

He also came from his twenties, such as Liu Tao's age, he couldn't sit still and planned to gradually regain power. As a result, as soon as the attempt was made, the scholars fought back strongly.

cultivated Yang Qiu, but instead betrayed himself. Cai Yong, who was helped up, also became a frightened bird. The scholars could not be trusted, and this idea had already begun to settle in his heart.

So much so that Cao Cao, who was cultivating at the same time, didn't dare to trust it so much......

Compared with these scholars, they are really still clan relatives and can be trusted. Liu Yan and Liu Yu, and even Liu Biao, have more or less such shortcomings, but at critical moments, they are still willing to stand on his side.

"...... over there" Liu Tao said tentatively, Liu Hong would say this, and he probably still cared about him training soldiers like this, but he didn't see his true intentions, so he naturally didn't mind, and followed his conjecture back and forth.

"After the death of Tanshi Huai, the Xianbei people themselves were inextricably fought, and at most after the autumn, there were small groups going south from time to time. This amount of troops is not a concern at all. Liu Hong shook his head.

The border army is the real big consumer of grain, and almost half of the small taxes are to support that side. Fortunately, whether it is Liu Yan or Ding Yuan, at least the situation on the border has been stabilized.

The Xianbei of the Tanshi Huai period brought too many shadows to the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Huan planned to maintain the stability of the border by sealing the king and making peace, but the Tanshi Huai was not a bird at all. even saw through the emptiness of the big man and accelerated the speed of invasion.

Fortunately, Tanshi Huai died three years ago, and his son Helian also died in the same year, so that Xianbei was divided into three parts. They fought separately, and they all planned to be the second sandalwood acacia, which made the border of the Han Dynasty a little relieved.

"It's because of the death of Tanshi Huai, and now that Xianbei's side is unstable, he should take the initiative to ......attack," Liu Tao muttered, "Otherwise, when the second Tanshi Huai appears, it will be even more headache." ”

"You......" Liu Hong did not deny this statement, but only he knew the bitterness in it, "After two years, young people have to learn to calm down!" ”

"Obey ......the order," Liu Tao replied, somewhat unwillingly.

Liu Hong was also helpless, he really didn't want to stay any longer, so he simply left directly. When passing by in front of Cai Yan, he stopped and said: "Tell your father, Wang Fu has asked to behead, if he wants to go back to Luoyang, come back!" ”

"Yes." Cai Yan nodded, a little happy in his heart.

My father has been hiding in Wu County for several years, and it is not a way. She doesn't really want to be a hermit, and she knows very well that her father still has a certain desire for official positions and power.

After saying this, Liu Hong actually achieved the real purpose of this trip, so he didn't stay and left directly.

Money, money, money, in terms of the current financial situation of Dahan, Liu Hong feels that it is already good to be able to maintain the stability of Dahan, and he is not left with him, how can he keep it? If he hadn't been able to sit back and watch the fall of the Han River, he would have left the burden long ago!

The key is still those officials, few of them have clean butts, and if they go down a thousand times, they will do something that is less than fifty times. If the allocation goes down, except for fattening a few rats, there is no way to benefit the people.

If we want to avoid this situation, we must gradually change the noble clan and select the best people. But the problem is that under the existing system, the so-called 'virtuous people' who are recommended are basically people from the side of the scholars.

So he planned to establish Hongdu Gate School and cultivate talents by himself. In order to avoid the suspicion of the soldiers, the initial focus was on skills, and the follow-up situation was successively let the disciples learn to read and learn to govern......

It's just that he underestimated the wariness of the Shi clan against him, and even if there was a little possibility, he couldn't let it go. So under the criticism of public opinion, in the end, no one dared to come to the sect to learn here, so that his plan failed completely.

"The world is so big, where can there be a talent who makes money for me?" Liu Hong suddenly sighed.

"Your Majesty, General Yulin Zhonglang, isn't it quite a means? If the papermaking workshop starts to produce paper, it is also a profitable business. Zhang Rang, who was next to him, heard this, and stepped forward and said.

"I'm not talking about that kind of small money,......" Liu Hong shook his head, "What I want is a talent who can govern the country and level the world and make the Han rich!" ”

By the way, I added in my heart: The most important thing is that you must be able to use it for me sincerely!

"The Han Dynasty is located in the land of thirteen states, with a large land and abundant talents. Since there is a clan relative like Yulin Zhonglang who is good at fighting, there are naturally talents who can relieve His Majesty's worries. Zhang Rang could only reply vaguely.

"That's it, that's it......" Liu Hong sighed, even if there were, it would either be turned into their people by the scholars, or it would be taken away by the soldiers.

The crux of the Han Dynasty is, first of all, that there is no money available, and after the abolition of the salt and iron monopoly, the salt and iron tax revenue has been decreasing. Without this input, relying only on other taxes is really not enough for various expenses.

If there is no money, then there will be no governance, and even now many officials are still complaining that their money has not been paid for a while...... One or two families have thousands of acres of fertile land, and they still care about this?!

If you can't govern, the local government will be unstable, all kinds of problems will continue to emerge, and then the result will be that you will not be able to collect taxes. Today's situation is like a dead knot, and I don't know where to start to untie it.

"I'm tired, go back to the dormitory to rest tonight......" Liu Hong said dejectedly, he was really tired.

At the same time, seeing that Liu Hong had gone away, everyone in the army breathed a sigh of relief, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Having said that, my brother's craftsmanship is really good! I had to be careful about eating just now, but now I can finally say it freely. Zhang Fei was the first to speak, and several other people also smiled, obviously agreeing with this statement.

"It's just a pity, I was going to have dinner with Cai Dacai's daughter......" Liu Tao looked at Cai Yan.

"I'm Cai Xiaoshu now, and I'm just invited to a banquet." Cai Yan glanced at Liu Tao and replied slowly.
