Chapter 88 Make Money Again to Levy Wusun Liu Xuande trafficked human beings
Let's say that Liu Bei Deliu defended that he was the emperor's uncle, and he was very happy, and Emperor Han Ling on the side was also quite satisfied when he saw that the twins were sweating and bloody, so he spoke.
"Xuande, you are a relative of the Han family, and you are my peers, I know that you will not live up to me, but the Western Regions are the people outside the country, although there are many repetitions, but it is not appropriate to use soldiers frequently." But he had to tell Liu Bei that the Western Regions was just a place other than Wanghua, as long as there was money to collect, and if you could not use soldiers, you should not use soldiers!
"Thank you, you also know that the Western Regions are people outside the country, but if you don't pay the annual tribute, how can you get tens of millions of dollars to the saints year after year? Therefore, we only use soldiers for those who want to raise troops against the Han Dynasty! "Liu Bei pushed everything to Emperor Han Ling, you asked me to give 20 million a year, and I could only rob it in the Western Regions!
When Emperor Han Ling heard this, he was still willing, and the 20 million he negotiated was his money, which could not be less, so he said: "I listen to my father's words, this time Xuande has prepared this year's annual tribute?" ”
But he was not entangled in the matter of Liu Bei leading the troops to conquer the Western Regions, and even asked other money issues that he cared about!
In fact, Liu Bei's business in the Western Regions, the money he really earned from the caravan was not necessarily enough for Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and a group of eunuchs, but in the past two years, he has been fighting year after year, and the sand bandits, the countries of the Western Regions, etc., have made Liu Bei a lot of war money. That's why we can satisfy the lion of Emperor Han Ling and the eunuchs!
However, in another year or two, the taxes of the Western Regions and the income of the caravan will basically be able to meet these needs, but Liu Bei can leave a little less, but two years later, the world will be in chaos, and Emperor Han Ling will not want to pay back the money at that time!
After thinking about it, Liu Bei replied.
"Saint, although I am in a hurry this time, I have gathered enough money and handed it over to Zhang Zhongchang." At this point, Emperor Liu Hongcai of the Han Dynasty nodded with satisfaction!
Seeing Emperor Han Ling's satisfied look, Liu Bei then opened his mouth and said: "Shengshang, this time Wusun entered Luoyang, nominally to prepare for the conquest of the Western Regions, but he wanted to conceal that three months ago, Wusun Chi Xingmi led 100,000 people to invade our Western Regions, but in the end, in order to prepare for the victory of 30,000 troops and the alliance of the Western Regions, so I am afraid of my attack in the Western Regions, so I sneaked into Luoyang, wanting to attack first, and then prepare to get rid of it quickly!" ”
When Emperor Han Ling heard this, he then looked at Zhang Rang, who was nodding on the side, and then said in a rather atmospheric manner: "Hmph, little Wusun, is there no one who wants to bully me?" ”
Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly glanced at Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang saw it, stretched out two hands to instruct Liu Bei, Liu Bei nodded helplessly!
Zhang Rang said slowly: "Your Majesty, I think I am a big country, how can I let a small country in Wusun bully, I hate that I can't go into battle to kill the enemy, otherwise I am willing to destroy this wing for Your Majesty!" ”
When Emperor Han Ling heard this, his heart became even more angry, and then he looked at Liu Bei!
"Is Xuande willing to fight for me?"
"Bei is willing to lead the army to attack Wusun, but the reserve of the major generals is outnumbered, I am afraid that I will not be able to do my best!" Liu Bei thought about it and said weakly!
"I promise that you can recruit 50,000 soldiers, and you can also have full authority to handle the affairs of the kingdoms, and you may defeat Wusun?" Emperor Han Ling is still angry!
"Be prepared to live up to your mission! There is still one thing that needs to be initiated, and there is a shortage of talents in the Western Regions. and influencing work. Therefore, I hope to find some talents in civil and martial arts, and if the saint feels that the civil and military generals are temporarily useless, they can all be sent to the Western Regions! After that, Liu Bei gave up!
"What's the matter, you still lack officials in the Western Regions?" Emperor Han Ling asked differently.
"Holy Lord, the Western Regions are the Holy Western Regions, there is no one person, how much can you know, I still hope that the Holy Lord will recommend some of it."
"In this way, you can go to the next Zhang Rang in a while, and let Zhang Rang recommend some of them to you." After that, Emperor Han Ling seemed to be tired, waved his hand, and motioned for Liu Bei to retreat.
And after listening to Emperor Han Ling's words, Liu Bei had another pain in his flesh, looking for Zhang Rang, didn't he have to spend a lot of money?
After coming out of Emperor Han Ling's side, Zhang Rang kept trotting out with Liu Bei also coming out, his eyes shining with gold as he walked, and it was obvious that he saw another opportunity to make money.
"Liu Duhu, you have a good idea, you actually hit the autumn wind of the saint, and you want to divide some people from the saint's side," Zhang Rang saw that Liu Bei didn't say anything, so he said.
"At this time, I still need Zhang Zhong's help, why don't we go and see it now?"
"That's very good, the Holy One will look for me later."
After that, Zhang Rang took Liu Bei to a room, Liu Bei went in to take a look, and found that the room was not small, but there were indeed many bookshelves inside, and there were various twists and turns listed on it during the summer vacation.
"Liu Duhu, this is a place where a certain person screens the sins for the saint on weekdays, all the recitals will pass through here first, and after I wait for the screening, I will hand over the important ones to the saint for review, after all, the saint's time is also limited." After Zhang Rang entered the house, he didn't pay attention to Liu Bei, but slowly introduced.
Hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and said yes, but secretly shook his head, this is a good thing to say, it is estimated that these eunuchs are taking irrelevant or singing praises to Emperor Ling of Han, and major events such as insulting eunuchs are hidden and not reported, so as to show the peace of the entire Han world.
Then Zhang Rang took out a book from a bookshelf on the inside, and then handed it directly to Liu Bei, "Liu Duhu, this is the person who has sorted out the inspections in various places this year, you can see for yourself, if you think it is appropriate, you will directly appoint them in the name of the saint." Liu Bei was overjoyed about this, he originally only wanted to ask for a few yuan Wenchen or military generals from Emperor Ling of Han, but he didn't expect that there was a list for him to choose from, so he slowly opened it.
Xie Zhen, the word is slight, a native of Zhaoling in Runan County, and a Maocai;
Cheng Bing, the word Deshu, a native of Nantun, Runan, and a Maocai;
Liu Ye, whose name is Ziyang, is a native of Chengde in Huainan, and is a descendant of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, who is filial piety and honesty;

Kong Rong, the word is lifted. Lu people, incorruptible officials;
Bian Rang, the word Wenli, Yanzhou Chenliu County Junyi people, Mao Cai;
……………………………………
The more Liu Bei looked at it, the more shocked he became, he never thought that he could see so many Eastern Han Dynasty celebrities on such an inconspicuous roster, but Zhang Rang, who was sitting quietly waiting for Liu Bei to look at the roster, was silent and didn't know what he was thinking.
"How, Liu Duhu, these talents are still enough, if they are not enough, they will be taken for Du Hu." Hearing this, Liu Bei was even more stunned, daring, this is not all, even so, Liu Bei did not dare to ask for other books, after all, Zhang Rang was a close minister of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei was temporarily fledgling, and the Han Dynasty was not disturbed.
"It's enough, Liu will choose a few people at random, and when the time comes, Zhang Zhongzhi will be ready to operate." Liu Bei smiled, then nodded and said.
"It's okay to do that, it's just that this circle of personnel, the reassignment of personnel is not one person's decision after all, and if others don't want to, there is nothing they can do!" Zhang Rang said with embarrassment.
"But please ask Zhang Zhongshou to prepare for the operation, but if you ask for something, you will not be allowed." Liu Bei said painfully.
"In this way, Liu Duhu, how about choosing one person for 100,000 yuan? However, if they are not recruited, they will not be returned. Zhang Rang said with a smile. Although Liu Bei's flesh hurts, he has to accept it.
After that, Liu Bei paid millions of dollars again to encircle Liu Ye, Cheng Bing, Zhang Hong, Chen Lin, Chen Qun, Mao Jue, Bian Rang, Wang Lang, Huan Jie, Yu Tuo and other ten people, and asked Zhang Rang to recruit people into the Western Regions as officials at this time.
At present, there are Shanshan County, Jingjue County, Khotan County, Shule County, Qiuci County, Yanqi County in the Western Regions, the area of the four counties is very large, but the population is insufficient, once the grain production comes up, the population is more bound to need to divide a few more counties, the same New Year, Liu Bei is ready to send troops to attack Dawan and Wusun, and Dawan and Wusun are at least divided into two to three counties, so on this basis, Liu Bei needs a large number of officials.
Although there are a large number of other officials on this roster that Liu Bei needs, Liu Bei did not take it all at once this time, but he wanted to be safer, if he was suspected by Emperor Ling of Han and removed Liu Bei's Western Regions Protector, it would be worth the loss.
"Oh, there are only ten people in the Dadu Protector, originally I thought that the Dadu Protector also needs dozens of people, after all, the Western Regions are so big." However, Zhang Rang was not very happy and said, originally Zhang Rang thought that if Liu Bei got fifty or sixty people to leave, then there would be five or six million words, but now, ten people are needed, and one million is not enough for a few people.
"Zhongchang Shi didn't know, and he wanted to take some more, but first, he was shy in his pocket, second, he came here to try his talents first, and third, if he spent money on these people but didn't go to work, wouldn't I lose a lot? In the end, if there is still a shortage of officials in the Western Regions, he still hopes that the Zhongchang attendants will help, and there will be a good reward. ”
Zhang Rang felt that it made sense when he heard it, so he didn't say much, drew a circle with the names of the ten people, and then led Liu Bei out of the palace, "Liu Duhu, I'll go back to recruit these officials, and it is expected that someone will go to the Western Regions after the year." ”
After speaking, without Liu Bei's reply, he returned to the palace again, at this time, the ten permanent servants controlled the government, and the world was not chaotic, so they did not pay attention to officials like Liu Bei who were far away in the Western Regions, and the main thing was to treat Liu Bei as a cash cow.
