Guarding against arrogance and rashness, and always being vigilant, this is a creed that Li Xin has always put in his heart. Although you know more history than others, you can predict more of the future, but the greater your power, the greater the impact on this history.

Moreover, the level of scientific civilization in this period is much lower than that of later generations, but this does not mean that people at this time are worse than themselves. The world is so big and full of talents, if you always stand in the clouds and look down, maybe when you will ~ capsize in the gutter.

In terms of wisdom, it is not that the changes of time will change, but it can only be said that with the growth of human cognition, the knowledge mastered will continue to increase.

Moreover, in terms of dealing with people, people in this era are still more in line with the mainstream. If Li Xin wants to know himself and his opponent, he must understand those talents.

"The salt merchants in Guanzhong and Hedong, how are you handling it now? Especially the four major families in Hedong, their networks are all over the place, and you can use their connections to find a way to expand out. After a deep groan, Li Xin said lightly.

There is no problem for the staff division to control Guanzhong and Hedong, after all, this is his own territory. But for the rest of the world, it doesn't seem so in place! After all, those places are unfamiliar with people, and it is not easy to set up a base to ~ manage information.

This also led to the fact that the Huashan Army had controlled Guanzhong for so long, and Tu Qi's information and intelligence work in other places was basically slow.

If it's too far away, you can put it first, after all, there are practical difficulties. Moreover, it does not pose a threat to the Huashan Army for a while. Today's staff division, except for Guanzhong and Hedong, can basically only focus on other places.

That is to say, in some important and key places, put some intelligence officers, such as Jiangzuo, such as the Central Plains, such as Luoyang Jincheng, and so on!

Other than that, the vast number of other places are basically not able to exert their strength for the time being! This has also led to the fact that after the news from all over the world came back, it was basically a lot of time in the past.

Once the intelligence thing loses its timeliness, the effect will be greatly reduced. Li Xin didn't want to see his army lose his life because of a wrong piece of information.

Those salt merchants in Hedong use the advantages of Hedong salt to market the world. Although the world is in turmoil, their sales area has slowly shrunk a lot. But compared to the staff division of the Huashan Army, this network is also large enough.

From the beginning, Li Xin planned the affairs of the salt and iron official camp, and after gradually discovering this, he tried to make Tu Qi take action. Secretly join the sales network of these salt merchants, so as to use their connections to find out the news for themselves.

Of course, this kind of thing is to be kept secret, so until now, only the two of them know about it!

After receiving the general's reminder, his subordinates immediately went to make arrangements. In addition to buying some people as spies under the major salt merchants, more people are arranged to join the salt merchants in various identities. So far, some results have been achieved, but if you want to continue to see results, I am afraid that you will need a lot of financial resources to support it! Tu Qi hurriedly replied.

Those who do this business know the importance of money the most, if they don't have money in their hands, how can those people at the bottom work? If there is no money, why will those people tell you the news and do things for you?

But money is the biggest problem for the current Huashan Army. There is a lot of food, but there is really no money. Mainly because in today's world, almost no one mints money, because it's too chaotic. Moreover, ordinary people do not have the financial resources to mint money.

In today's world, gold and silver are hard currency, and another one is grain cloth! At the same time, there is also the money minted by Sun Wu during the Han Dynasty and so on! In short, even if there is money in circulation, it is basically copper coins that were minted in the past.

If it weren't for the fact that the risk was too great, Li Xindu would have wanted to mint a batch of copper coins by himself.

Li Xin also had no way to support more money, so after thinking about it, he had to say to him: "The matter of silver money can't support more in the treasury." Today's plan is only open source! The land on the left side of the river is still stable, and you will find a way to organize a business and specialize in serious business there. The money you earn is all about the operating expenses of your staff! ”

"Yes, it belongs to selecting competent people to handle it as soon as possible."

Nodding, Li Xin sent him out and continued to handle his official business.

Recently, there has been a gradual increase in the number of official documents sent by various counties, and on the whole, it is basically the same, that is, asking for money and food! There is no money, and if there is food, it will naturally have to be supported. Otherwise, wouldn't all the counties below be chaotic?

"Food problems! The biggest crisis has arrived, and it seems that it is time to make some big moves! Come on, go and invite Wang Changshi! After reading it, he groaned for a while, and Li Xin shouted outside the door.

After a while, Wang Meng hurried over, he was working in Jingzhao Yin Yamen, which was really far away from the central government office. When there is a real emergency, it takes a bit of time to call him over.

"Jingluo, I don't think you should work in Jingzhao Yamen anymore, and move to this central government office! You see, I have something to look for you, and I have to wait for half a day, what a waste of time! Seeing Wang Meng, Li Xin couldn't help complaining.

"You're right, I'll get ready when I get back. However, the best way is for you to quickly find someone to take over the burden of Jing Zhaoyin! Wang Meng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. However, it is a small suggestion.

"Wait until someone else talks about it! With your talent, it is really a bit of a waste to put it on this small Jing Zhao Yin position, although Jing Zhao Yin's position is also very important! ”

"By the way, what did you do with me!?" Wang Meng didn't continue, and asked directly. He's also busy with official business!

"Look at these documents! Food is being rushed everywhere! The worst-case scenario we had anticipated finally appeared! Li Xin pointed to the stack of official documents and sighed.

"I knew there was today! If it weren't for the fact that we have tried our best to turn around these days, I am afraid that this situation would have appeared long ago. At least, judging from the current situation, this kind of crisis broke out after all parts of the country were pacified, which is a good thing! Wang Meng casually flipped through the two books before he said.

"Yes! I asked you to come here to tell me about what we talked about before. There is still a lot of grain in the treasury, especially after the four major families gave away a batch. Next, they will take salt and iron tickets, and the grain will gradually increase. If we save money, we should be able to survive until after the beginning of spring next year. As long as you wait for the wheat harvest, you basically don't have to worry about this problem! Li Xin nodded.

"The cash-for-work you mentioned earlier is a good idea. After years of wars in various parts of Guanzhong, many things have reached the time to be repaired. Just take this opportunity and do a good job! ”

Because he had known that there would be this crisis, Li Xin had discussed this matter with Wang Meng and others many times before. At this time, I called him over, but I just wanted to add it up and prepare to start implementing it.

"The post roads and post stations between the counties in Guanzhong must be repaired, which is a matter related to the connection between the counties and Chang'an, and it must be carried out. Second, water conservancy facilities, dredging and canals, now is winter, when there is not much rain, we must seize the time to carry out. Otherwise, when spring begins next year, the spring rain will gradually increase, and I am afraid that there will be floods! Li Xin thought for a moment and pointed out the current priorities.

"Moreover, the walls of the counties should also be repaired, and the wastelands and nameless dry bones should also be put away. Let the county government recruit people to do these things, provide food as a reward, and achieve the purpose of cash-for-work! However, there must be overseers, and you must go down and patrol from time to time, so that the people below will not be enriched, and the food will not be deprived! After a pause, Li Xin continued.

"Well, when I go back, I'll arrange for someone to do it immediately. The official document was issued as soon as possible, first down to the county guards, and then asked them to convene the counties under their jurisdiction to arrange specific matters! Official food should also be quickly transferred to the counties for relief! Wang Meng nodded.

"By the way, there's one more thing we have to be aware of. At such a critical time, those big profiteers who hoarded Juqi must be severely punished. If anyone dares to raise prices at this time and make a fortune as a refugee, don't blame me for being unkind! Speaking of this, Li Xin suddenly thought of a key point, and hurriedly said.

The general plan had already been thought out, and the two discussed it for a while, added some details, and soon reached an agreement. Li Xin wrote an official document on the spot, and after using his own big seal, Wang Meng sent it to the counties.

At the same time, Li Xin ordered the soldiers and horses who had been reorganized and trained in the camp of the new army to be responsible for escorting food to the counties. Moreover, in this process, it is necessary to make a lot of noise, and it is best to let the people in each county be able to see the truckloads of grain being continuously transported into their counties.

The purpose of such an approach is, of course, to reassure the people. Although it may not be that much grain to be transported, after making a sufficient stance, the situation in this pass quickly returned to calm.

When the people in various places were panicking because of the lack of food at home and the high price of grain in the market, they were naturally relieved after seeing so much grain. Especially after the counties posted a list of articles, saying that they wanted to recruit workers and do things, and after there was food to obtain, everyone went to apply.
