Chapter 65, why is there so much money and food in Chengyang

。。。

The next day, before dawn, I went to the government affairs hall to deal with government affairs, Liu Yi rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, and was very dissatisfied with this kind of squeezing labor, but unfortunately the system is like this, the ancient people were so diligent, the three watches were lit and the five watches were not a joke, in ancient times, it was never said that sleeping until the sun dried the butt and then getting up, Liu Yi was also a little unaccustomed to it at the beginning, he estimated that the current day is in the future that is six o'clock in the morning, maybe he is dreaming, but now he has to go to the government affairs hall to deal with affairs, there are a lot of miscellaneous things in Chengyang, Liu Yi can't be lazy, the main thing is that there are too few people who can afford the scene, and he has to ask Liu Yi about everything and let him make a decision, otherwise he can sleep until he wakes up naturally.

However, Liu Yi saw hope, after Liu Bei assigned a position, his work was obviously much easier, what could he tell the people below to do, don't bother too much, wait for Qingzhou to be swept away, and then recruit a few bigwig-level talents, then Liu Yi can sleep back every day, think about who he can recruit, Chang'an has been a little calm recently, Liu Yi calculated the days, 191 is almost over, remember that Dong Zhuo was killed in the spring of the next year, the yellow scarf is estimated to not survive this winter and will go to Liu Bei, When the time comes, try to sweep away the yellow scarves in Qingzhou without delaying spring ploughing, so that Jia Xu's side should also have action this winter.

Liu Yi went to the government affairs hall while thinking, his courtyard was quite close to the center of the city, even if he had not entered the society in his previous life, he knew how rare a ring in the city was, and in this life, he was touched by Liu Bei's light, and the central position assigned to him was refreshing.

"Ziang, you're late again", Jian Yong heard the sound of the door opening, looked up and saw Liu Yi walking in with a thoughtful face, and joked, basically Liu Yi was the latest to come to the government affairs hall, and he set off from home every day without hurrying, once Jian Yong passed by his door and saw Liu Yi go out, and walked with him all the way, I really couldn't stand it, and I never walked with Liu Yi again, I was not in a hurry at all, Jian Yong really admired Liu Yi's mentality.

"Xianhe, isn't this just the right time", Liu Yi raised his head and saw that he had arrived at the government affairs hall, yawned and sat in his position, there was no accurate timer, it was roughly this time to start dealing with government affairs, Xi Zhicai was already working hard at this time, there have been more and more displaced people recently, and Xi Zhicai's work is very complicated and difficult to handle, Liu Yi came in, he just raised his head and gestured with his eyes, and continued to work.

Liu Yi also sat in his position boredly, looking at the various questions presented, basically sitting here all morning, even if he finished the government affairs, he couldn't go out, because the Han Dynasty had this rule, in order to make the officials work more diligently, the government affairs hall was basically angry and dull, and everyone was either bored to do government affairs, or they were thinking about how to do government affairs.

"Ziang, how can we still have enough money, didn't we just exchange some food at the beginning, and there wasn't much money", Xi Zhicai was doing his work and suddenly developed something wrong, giving those people's wages a penny a day, although the salary is not high, but it can't stand the number of people, so far I haven't seen Liu Yi use bamboo slips to exchange money and grain, so the question is, where does the money for the wages to the people come from.

It happened that Liu Bei passed by the government affairs hall and heard Xi Zhicai ask this question, and he was also very interested, so he pushed open the door and came in and sat aside to listen to Liu Yi.

"Xuande Gong, didn't you arrange things with the people today, how did you have time to come to the government affairs hall", it was a little strange to see Liu Bei come in Liu Yi, these days Liu Bei is really a dragon who can't see the end, and arranges various things in the people's residences all day long, and is very busy, although Liu Yi feels that a monarch doesn't need to waste time on these things, but think about it carefully, Liu Bei really doesn't have anything else to do, and the government affairs are handed over to Liu Yi and they are handled, just ask Liu Bei when you want to make a major decision. But now it is a process of slow development, and if there can be anything important, Liu Bei can't be idle, so he goes to the people to pay attention to the people's livelihood, so that the people love him more.

"I don't know what's going on, there are fewer and fewer people coming to Chengyang these days, and the people who have settled down have gone to work, and I have nothing to do there, so I'll come to the government affairs hall to walk around", Liu Bei suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and didn't think about why the number of people was decreasing.

Liu Yi and the others glanced at each other, sure enough, Chengyang had been affected, fortunately, it was discovered in time, and a decision was made on this matter, if it was found late, Qingzhou might not be able to keep it, let things ferment for a few days, Liu Bei and others will become the demons that everyone shouts and beats, and when the time comes, it doesn't matter if the yellow scarf is true or not, it just so happens that they are also food and grass, and they hit Liu Bei directly from Beihai, and all their hard work is gone.

"Xuande Gong, we are about to go to you, the decrease in the number of people is because there is a little problem on the Yellow Turban, but we have discussed it and made countermeasures", Liu Yi said with a smile, Liu Bei came and just told him that there was no need to go out to look for him on the street, and the mobilization of the army had to be approved by Liu Bei.

"Just solve it, this matter is not in a hurry, Ziang first talk about why there are more and more people in Chengyang, our money has not been used up yet, I remember how much money was not exchanged at the beginning, it was all exchanged for grain and grass", Liu Bei heard that the problem of the reduction of the people had been solved, and he didn't take it seriously, he still wanted to know what was going on with these unlimited investments in Chengyang, and Liu Bei wondered if Liu Yi used his own money to develop Chengyang.

Xi Zhicai and Jian Yong also put down their work and looked at Liu Yi, Chengyang's money and food have always been under Liu Yi's control, and Liu Yi was not in arrears when he paid wages to the people, so it was strange.

"Things are not as complicated as you think, we do not have much money, but we have food and grass, Chengyang is not short of money and food at present", Liu Yi looked at their expressions and knew that he mistakenly thought that he had invested money in, but Liu Yi is also a poor ghost, how can there be so much money to support the development of Chengyang.

"The people did give them money for their work, and they were paid every day for the first half a month, but if you think about it, those people are all homeless, and they will spend the money they earn, and they have to buy food if they don't have food, and they have to buy shelter if they don't have a place to live, so their money has turned around and returned to our hands, because the food is only in our hands, and the houses built are also the property of the government, so you understand", Liu Yi briefly said the development mode of Chengyang.

"That's not right, there aren't so many coins at all, and in the end, I won't be able to pay my salary", Liu Bei is still entangled in the money, he knows very well how much money he has, and it is impossible to support the wages of workers in the past few months.

"Xuande Gong, you are confused, what is money, it is just a means to measure the value of commodities, now the grain is here, the land and houses are ours, and money is just a medium used for exchange, who cares about these things, even if I give them a stone and tell them that they can buy a pound of grain with a stone, they will agree, so they will not need money at all in the future, so they will directly make a white slip, stamp it on it, and tell them that they can exchange it for food for a house", Liu Yi reluctantly explained carefully, Just now, he looked at Jian Yong with a confused look, and knew that he had to say it more clearly.

"Ziang, you mean, they take the white strip we gave and buy the house they built themselves", Jian Yong looked like I am not a fool, don't lie to me.

"The house is indeed built by them, but they can only be recruited by the public to work, we give him a penny every day, and there are big white steamed buns at noon, what do you mean by this gaze, I didn't deceive the people", Liu Yi looked at Jian Yong with strange eyes, and his teeth itched angrily.

In the final analysis, it is a chaotic place in Qingzhou, the original people and landlords have fled, only a piece of barren land is left, and the land is impossible to take away, so it naturally becomes the property of the public, and those people are some homeless yellow scarves, no land ownership, Liu Yi let them work to build houses, and then sell the houses to them, reclaim the land to grow crops, and then distribute the land to them to plant, it is very complicated to say, in fact, it is in this part of Chengyang, Liu Bei is the largest landlord, there is food, and I am worried that the people will not work, and the money is not enough?

"Ziang is really a talent, in this way, it is true that there is no need for money, here in Qingzhou, money has little meaning, they can eat enough land to plant, and their houses to live in, and there is enough food to complete these, but I will definitely not think of it, the concept of money has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, you can't do anything without money, who would have thought of your idea of playing white strips", Xi Zhicai quickly figured it out, the two main factors are that Qingzhou Chengyang County is Liu Bei's, and he has the right to control these lands, And Liu Yi's reputation in Chengyang is very good, and the people don't care if they have money in their hands, these days, it is enough to be able to exchange food, who cares about what is exchanged for food.

Liu Yi looked at Xi Zhicai with admiration, is he worthy of being a top strategist, this kind of advanced theory can be easily understood, seeing that Jian Yong is still pondering, he obviously can't turn this corner.

"Although I don't understand what you said, Ziang, I don't have to worry if Chengyang hands it over to you, is there anything else, I have to leave if there is nothing else", Liu Bei was silent for a while, patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and said.

Liu Yi held his forehead helplessly, is this really the case, did Liu Bei's operation without a lower limit learn from him, don't you understand what the hell is it that you are still proud?
