It is said that Liu Bei and his entourage only arrived at Moling three days after Tian Feng and others, at this time and in the summer of 179 in the Western calendar. As soon as he returned to the paper mill in Moling, Liu Bei recruited Tian Feng, Jian Yong and others to meet.

In the conference hall, Liu Bei sat on the main seat, and on the left hand side was a cadre of Wencheng, namely Tian Feng, Jian Yong, Xi Zhong, Xun You, Zhong Xuan, Jia Xu and Hua Tuo; On the right-hand side are a group of military generals: Zhang Ren, Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Gan Ning and Su Fei. Seeing the Wencheng generals gathered together, Liu Bei's heart was full of pride, Liu Bei in history, at the beginning, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not the two, and the strategists were only Jian Yong and Sun Qian, now there is no chaos in this world, but my Wencheng generals have all been economically together, why worry about this big thing?

Everyone sat down, and Liu Bei said: "You have worked hard this year, originally I thought that it would take me two years to travel this time, but this trip was quite smooth, and I achieved my expected goal in only one year." After speaking, he introduced everyone and let everyone get acquainted with each other.

After the introduction, Liu Bei asked Tian Feng again, "Yuan Hao, how is the official position that you asked you to donate for Xun You, Lu Bu and others now?" Do you have it all? ”

Tian Feng stood up and replied: "Back to the lord, the four positions have been obtained, and I just arrived in Moling three days ago, and everyone is ready to wait for the lord before taking office."

When Liu Bei heard this, he was overjoyed, and couldn't help but praise: "Yuan Hao, you have done a good job in this matter." Then he turned to Xun You and Lu Bu and waited for the people: "Xun You, Lu Bu, you will set off for Liaodong County on a certain day."

Xun You and Lu Bu got up and promised.

Liu Bei looked at Huang Zhong again and said, "Huang Zhong, I now order you to be Lu Bu's deputy, and go to Liaodong together to help Lu Bu pacify the bandits in Liaodong County and recruit soldiers."

Huang Zhong got up and promised.

Liu Bei then said: "You and the other three need to focus on Xun You in everything, and everything is arranged by Xun You, and each person takes 50 cavalry from the Yulin camp to count as your personal soldiers." When you arrive in Liaodong, you need to try your best to complete the following things: 1. Pacify the bandits in the county; 2. Recruitment; 3. Recruit talents; 4. Establish a good relationship with the three counties of Lelang, Xuansu, and Liaodong, so as to facilitate my later collection. 5. Resettlement of displaced orphans. 6. There is a mountain range in Liaodong County, there is a large amount of iron ore, and it is necessary to mine the iron ore as soon as possible and transport it to Huiji in a steady stream. ”

The trio agreed again.

So Liu Bei looked at Zhong Xuan, Xu Huang, and Yan Yan: "Yuan Chang and Gongming's seal letters of trust have been obtained, so they will leave for Huiji as soon as possible, and at the same time order Yan Yan to be Xu Huang's deputy. After taking office, you need to complete the following things: 1. Recruit troops; 2. Pingding County's mountain bandits; 3. Build coastal wharves along the river, build warships and civilian ships, and civilian ships are used for sale. 4. Absorb talents from all over the world; 5. Accept orphans who are homeless. ”

The three of them stood up and bowed down and replied "No"

After arranging the appointment of these two waves of people, Liu Bei looked at Gan Ning and Su Fei again and said; "Xingba and Su Fei, order the two of you to take Jinfan as the foundation, and then select 1,200 people from the orphans to form a 2,000-strong sailor unit, called Jinfan Battalion, specializing in sailor training. Gan Ning is the commander, and Su Fei is the deputy commander. ”

Hearing this, Gan Ning and Su Feile were broken, and within a few days of recognizing the lord, they were already able to command two thousand people, so they hurriedly stood up and agreed.

After that, Liu Bei rearranged the commanders of the various troops: 1. Zhang Ren, commander of the two thousand tiger battalions; 2. Gao Shun, the commander of the two thousand trapping camps. 3. Gan Ning, commander of the 2,000 Jinfan Battalion, and Su Fei, deputy commander; 4. Yan Liang, commander of the 5000 battle battalion; 5. Wen Chou, commander of the 500 Yulin Battalion; 6 Tian Feng, commander of the 500 school battalion, and Cheng Lian, the school captain. There were 7,000 soldiers, 500 spies, and about 1,500 weak orphaned men.

After arranging the military issues and the appointment of personnel, Liu Bei turned to Jian Yong and asked, "Xianhe, how is the paper production this year?" How was the battleship built? How are orphans adopted? ”

"Back to my lord, due to the more serious exploitation in the past year, more orphans have been adopted, and more than 3,000 pairs of orphans have been adopted in more than a year. The production and sales of paper this year are very good, and the annual income can reach more than 20,000 gold, about more than 200 million yuan. Due to the short time of the battleship, the large ships have not been fully prepared, and another year should be able to meet the needs of 5,000 soldiers. Jian Yong got up and replied.

"Xianhe, well done. What happened to orphan matchmaking? How many couples are there now? ”

"There are about 3,500 couples, of whom about 2,000 have children. At present, there are more than 3,000 couples of orphans who have reached the age of marriage, but because the lord cannot force them, they are not yet married. This year, we taught us to write and so on, and all the orphans, both men and women, knew most of the men, and even began to familiarize themselves with poetry, books, and the art of war. Jian Yong replied again.

"Well, very well, mobilize as soon as possible more than 3,000 orphans who have reached the age of marriage, and say that I intend to officiate the marriage of those who wish to marry after a month, and give them houses. And mobilize all the people to have children as soon as possible, and in another year and a half at most, I will wave my army to capture Yizhou. Those who have children are given priority to go with me on the expedition and make contributions. At the same time, the funds in the treasury were used, and all the soldiers were prepared with armor weapons. Armoured weapons need to be ready within one year. ”

And all the people stood up and promised.

"This is handled in accordance with this policy in advance, since the Holy Lord has begun to sell officials publicly, I want to donate an official position to myself, and now I am considering donating an official position of Jiaozhou Assassin History, there are two main reasons, 1. When we take Yizhou, we can connect Yizhou, Jiaozhou, and Huiji County. 2. In another four or five years, when the world is in turmoil, I estimate that the Holy Lord will change the history of the assassin to the state pastor, then I can have soldiers and horses, Jiaozhou has never had a war in these years, and the population is rich. 3. Jiaozhou is located in a remote area, and the imperial court does not attach great importance to it, so it should be relatively simple to take down the history of Jiaozhou. I wonder what you think, or do you have any other suggestions? ”

"Dare to ask the lord, what is the purpose of taking down the Jiaozhou Assassin History?" Jia Xu asked first out of class.

"Everyone, no matter what the world is like in the future, I Liu Bei don't want to seek the usurpation of the throne, I Liu Bei just want to protect the Han Dynasty, but since you have followed me, if you can worship me in the future, you will be happy, if not, I will ensure the safety and health of your family, I want to manage Jiaozhou and Yizhou as our last base, protect your family, and provide a steady stream of soldiers." Liu Bei stood up and bowed to everyone, and then said differently.

Everyone present replied in a choked up when they heard Liu Bei's words, thank you, lord.

"My lord, the world will be in chaos, but where is the center of the war?" Xi Zhong asked again.

"I estimate that it should be in the north, and Yizhou and Jingzhou will be relatively stable, so I want to take Liaodong, we can enter the customs from Liaodong and help the Han world." Liu Bei explained again.

In fact, Liu Bei's current thoughts are understood by everyone, if there is a chance, he will replace him, if there is no opportunity, he will be a powerful minister, and in the next point of war and chaos, he will divide one side of the world, and then use one side of the world as a ladder to enter the body after he is pacified. But there are risks in either way, so Liu Bei's current preparations are in accordance with the practice of minimizing risks.

Hearing Liu Bei's explanation, everyone couldn't help but be arrogant, and they all agreed with Liu Bei's strategy.

"Okay, since everyone has no other ideas, after a little rest, Tian Feng and I will rush to Luoyang with a team of people to spend money and donate officials."
