Luoyang.

"Hmph, this Zhang Jiao, doesn't he know how to restrain himself in preaching?!" Zhang Rang scolded emotionally, because just today, Qiao Xuan's concern about Taiping Dao was intercepted by his subordinates and immediately sent over.

And when he learned the news, Zhang Rang was so shocked that he was sweating, because if this matter was really stabbed, although it didn't seem to be a serious matter, if it aroused the vigilance of those scholars and doctors and began to suppress Taiping Dao, God knows if he would be poked out by Zhang Jiao.

Once exposed, then the fate of Wang Fu, who served in the past, is Zhang Rang's future. In this way, how can he not be afraid?

"Don't worry, don't worry, now that this is in your hands, what do you want to do, it's not up to you?" The little eunuch said with a chuckle.

"Idiot! Qiao Gongzu, who is in Bingzhou, can know about this matter, will so many families in Jizhou and Yanzhou not know? ! Zhang Rang scolded angrily.

"The king waits for the anger, the king waits for the anger!" When the little eunuch heard this, he hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Humph!" Zhang Rang snorted coldly, and ignored the little eunuch, just lowered his head and pondered, and after half a sound, he said in a cold voice, "You go to the giant deer and tell that Zhang Jiao about this matter." Just told him, for the sake of his own family, I helped him suppress this matter, but he must be honest with me in the future! ”

"Yes!"

"Let's go......" Zhang Rang said and waved his hand, then turned around and left. In his opinion, although this matter would be troublesome, it is enough to do so in this situation now. And he also decided that this time he would finally make a fortune from Zhang Jiao, and in the future, he would completely draw a line with Taiping Dao. Because from Qiao Xuan's sparseness, he has already seen that the local scholars are vigilant against the Taiping Road.

Qiao Xuan obviously didn't know that his superiors didn't know not only the emperor didn't know, but even many scholars and doctors didn't know. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will directly return to Luoyang from Manbo County. Although even if Qiao Xuan really wanted this, it was impossible for Qiao Yu and the others to agree.

In fact, after Qiao Yu accompanied Qiao Xuan to Manbo, he had already decided to wait at least until Qiao Xuan died and guarded his filial piety for a period of time before thinking about other issues. Speaking of which, Qiao Yu is also very helpless, because according to his thoughts, he hopes to take Qiao Xuan back to Suiyang for retirement, after all, this is his hometown. It's just a pity that Qiao Xuan has to come to Mambo to see Li Yi when his body can still hold up, and obviously, with Qiao Xuan's current body, it is impossible to go from Bingzhou to Yuzhou.

June.

"Wait, this is the amount of supplies purchased last month and the amount of money spent." Wei Zhong said respectfully, and then presented the account to Li Yi.

"Baekhyun, thank you for your hard work." Li Yi took the account and said while looking at it.

"Doing things for the monarch is a matter within the duties of the lower officials." Wei Zhong said respectfully, but then looked at Li Yi with some hesitation and asked, "There is a doubt that has been bothering the lower officials, and I don't know if to ask ......."

"Hehe, do you want to ask why I am hoarding so many supplies?" Li Yi asked with a chuckle when he heard this. Since assuming the post of general Duliao, Li Yi used the 500,000 yuan rewarded by Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty to buy grain, meat, and war horse wine. The reason is also very simple, although Li Yi does not know much about the finance of this era, but the Yellow Turban Rebellion is followed by a group of heroes competing for hegemony, and if you think about it with your toes, you will understand how far prices will skyrocket.

In addition, although it is impossible to keep food and meat for too long even with special methods, next year will be the Yellow Turban Rebellion, at least, Li Yi hopes to spend the money in his hand when it has not been depreciated on a large scale.

In fact, the depreciation of coins has been going on for a long time, but because it is only a large-scale natural disaster, prices have remained somewhat stable.

"Actually, it's nothing, I'm going to wait for the Liao army to train for another 1 or 2 months, and then I will start hunting in the north, and then I will ......," Li Yi said with a smile.

"This ......" Wei Zhong frowned when he heard this, "Jun Hou, if you send troops without an order from the imperial court......"

"Hehe, so it's just hunting~ The Hu people go south to hunt every year, and now I am also preparing to go north to hunt~" Li Yi smiled casually. The tone was as if it was really just going hunting.

And for this reason, although Wei Zhong has been frowning, he can't find anything wrong. Because although this reason is a bit cheating, even Wei Zhong himself has already thought of a lot of reasons to deal with the court's questioning at the moment.

"It is worthy of being a gentleman, and the officials are obedient." Wei Zhong shook his head with a wry smile and said.

"Hehe, there will be Lao Boxian in the future." Li Yi smiled and patted Wei Zhong's shoulder, but he was quite helpless in his heart.

It seems that Li Yi attaches great importance to Wei Zhong, but in fact, it is because Li Yi has no one available at all except Wei Zhong. Because whether it is Lu Bu or Gao Shun and others, they are all dragons among people in riding and archery, but what about government affairs? I'm afraid that Tong Fei can echo a little bit.

This made Li Yi very headache, because he knew that when the heroes rose together, it would be impossible to do it with just a group of generals who could fight. The simplest point is that if Li Yi takes the annexation state, then he wants to govern the annexation state, and there is no other way than to rely on the original local officials! This is something that Li Yi definitely doesn't want to see.

The study of this period of history in his previous life allowed Li Yi to see problems that many people could not see, such as the strength of local families. Whether it was Sun Wu's four great families, Liu Shu's Yizhou Jingzhou faction, or Cao Wei's more complex struggle, they were all the result of relying too much on the locality.

Although Li Yi wants to dominate the world, it is impossible not to rely on these big families, but at least in some aspects, he does not want to be subject to too many restrictions.

It's just that...... Although he thought so, there was really no one around Li Yi. After all, the whole atmosphere of Bingzhou is martial arts, and there are not many literati themselves. And Li Yi's side, although there are erudite people like Cai Yong, they are too old on the one hand, and like Zhang Zhi and others, Zhi is not here.

"Alas, if you can find Duke De Cao to open a school...... Li Yi thought to himself, but this idea popped up in his mind for less than a second, and he completely abandoned it. Because even if Sima Hui was really invited, he couldn't find a student who would agree with Sima Hui's conditions. You can't let Sima Hui teach those children, right?

However, this trouble did not make Li Yi struggle for too long, because soon, a problem that gave him more headaches appeared.
