Everyone thanked him again, Liu Bei naturally had to put on a show for a while, and persuaded him again and again, only to stand up one by one, happily holding the deed document there just smirked, at this time, a cavalry Pegasus came, dismounted, went straight to come, was stopped by Dian Wei, Liu Bei saw it, and asked why, but it was Jian Yong and the two sent by Liu Bei came back.

Glancing at the incomparably obedient Yellow Turban Army below, Liu Bei knew that even if he came alone next time, there would be no danger. When any intelligent life is together, it will naturally spontaneously form rules and order, try to prevent conflicts, and gather strength. Don't say that human beings, even monkeys and wolves are like this, this is the instinctive wisdom of survival, originally the Yellow Turban Army is no longer in the original order, but now it has been incorporated into the order, as long as there is no chaos, after a long time, it will be no different from ordinary people.

"Let's go, go back and meet Mr. Jian Yong." Liu Bei ordered, got on the horse, and was happily walking back, Liu Bei suddenly found that a group of people gathered there and didn't know what they were doing, Liu Bei's instinctive feeling was not right, if it was ordinary people, it would be fine, all the Yellow Turban Army here, now gathered together, there is really going to be a mess, and the work of half a year will be in vain. hurriedly asked people to go to see what was going on, and ordered the cavalry to be on guard, and after a while, someone reported that it was the group of Yellow Turban soldiers who were worshipping Huang Taiyi there.

It turns out that, according to the textbooks, religion is a kind of spiritual sustenance. It was the people of the past who were oppressed and could not resist, and at this time there happened to be the emergence of religion, so they turned their comfort to religious beliefs, so often the poorer the place, the poorer the people are more religious about religion, you see that Europeans have been poor for a long time, religion can be played for 30 years, and when there is money later, religion will not be important, but Russians have always been more religious, nothing more than Russians are poorer than Central and Western Europe.

Originally, Liu Bei hadn't thought much about it, and he was about to go back to the county, and suddenly he was a clever man, which was a deadly religious matter. Not to mention how much trouble has been made by religion in another time and space, today in *, tomorrow in the concert to lose *, the day after tomorrow on the football field shooting. Let's just say how many major things happened in ancient Chinese religion, such as the Yellow Turban at the end of the Han Dynasty, Sun En at the end of the Jin Dynasty, Fang La at the end of the Song Dynasty, the Sichuan and Chu Rebellion and the Hongyang Rebellion at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Even the Ming Dynasty was established in the name of religion, at least at first.

Even when the five ethnic minorities went south to integrate the ethnic groups and almost integrated the Han nationality to the time when they were gone, the Huren were responsible for the war, the Han were responsible for production, and the Han people were called a money man. It can be seen that the skinhead religion almost turned China into a country with a Varna system similar to Ah San, and if it weren't for the martial mourning king, I am afraid that China would become Ah San.

Later, the three martial arts extinguished the bald heads, and they were also indispensable to the promotion of the Han family gate valve. Even when the emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty ascended the throne, they all went to the Taoist altar to receive talismans, which became a kind of ruling basis for the divine right of the monarch, as the legal basis for the Xianbei Tuoba Department to rule the Han people, and broke the curse of Hu Wu's century-old fortune in one fell swoop, but just looking at the continuous rebellion of the Xianbei Xiongnu and others in the later period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is really hard to say whose national fortune is in this century.

In short, how can such a major matter as religion be taken lightly, and it cannot be casually used to pull down a religion just by pushing it out. Thinking of this, Liu Bei looked at Cui Meng beside him again, it seems that the Wei Wu of the Northern Wei Dynasty in history was promoted by their old Cui family, this is really fate, I just don't know if this Cui family can find a way to control religion for themselves.

On the side, Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei's face was not good, and he stepped forward and said, "Brother, do you immediately prohibit them from worshiping Zhonghuang Taiyi in the future." ”

Liu Bei nodded, suddenly shook his head again, and said: "Zhang Jiao is just a horse's ear, raising his arms and exhaling, one hundred thousand people gathered, almost almost shook the Han family, now Zhang Jiao is dead, but Taiping Dao is still there, this matter should still be cautious, in case of accidentally stirring up a civil uprising, although we are sure of calm, but it will also hurt the vitality." Let's go, it's good to send someone to monitor here, and we have to discuss a good way to act first. ”

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, Liu Bei had already ridden away, and everyone naturally followed. After entering the county seat, Liu Bei hurriedly invited Jian Yong to meet him and asked, "Brother Xianhe, how about going to the capital." ”

Jian Yong and Liu Deran were actually sent out by Liu Bei to run for office, one is to obtain the name of the official Han clan, Liu Bei is not Uncle Liu Huang, what will it look like, and the second is to get the position of Pingyuan Xiang, or Pingyuan Taishou. According to the future strategy that Liu Bei planned for himself, if he could take the position of the plain guard, with his own thousands of elite soldiers, and then mobilize 30,000 county soldiers, the plain is a large county, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the household registration was 150,000, the population was million, and now there is a population of about 670,000.

With these horses, Liu Bei could take most of Qingzhou in the name of suppressing the Qingzhou Yellow Turban in 188 plus one year. In 190, the princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and they farmed in Qingzhou with peace of mind, and in 191 the princes began to fight, and they had already occupied the land of a state, which was one step ahead of the heroes of the world, and then one step first, step by step, and then you could pretend to be very fake to others in the future, Cao Cao, I also. But it's too late.

As for why Qingzhou was chosen, one is that he is in Qingzhou, and the other is that Qingzhou is the hardest hit area of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. In history, Sun Jian killed Jingzhou Assassin Shi all the way, Nanyang Taishou, but in the end, Liu Biao Yuan Shu was not because he was from a relatively low background, and everyone disagreed with him, and Liu Bei was from a lower background, and when he was a plain minister, there were people who were dissatisfied with him and wanted to assassinate him, so Qingzhou was really the best and only choice.

Jian Yong smiled bitterly and said: "Deran and I went to the capital this time, talked about the merits of the lord, and said that the lord has the ambition to sweep the yellow scarf. Liu Bei twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and immediately showed a look of crying and laughing.

This Emperor Han Ling, uh, should still be called Jinshang, it's really a super wonder. If it weren't for the fact that the foundation of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years was too thick, any change of dynasty should be a king of the dead country, and it would be impossible to get such a relative past nickname as Ling, of course, the name of Ling is evil, but compared to the behavior of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the name of Ling is really a praise.

Emperor Han Ling has been short of money since he was a child, so he has a compensatory mentality, and now when he becomes an emperor, he has opened a commercial street in his harem to play parody shows to entertain himself, and that's it. After playing, the dogs in groups put on the official's crown and hat, wore the official's seal, and hugged him to worship him. This is really insulting to the country, to be the emperor of a group of dogs, what is the emperor himself, the dog emperor.

And he himself drove the cart pulled by four donkeys back and forth in the West Garden. For a time, the people of Luoyang followed suit, and donkey carts ran all over the streets, and the price of donkeys was even higher than that of horses. Later, this goods specially ordered people to build a "Wanjin Hall" in the West Garden, and searched everywhere for money and stored in it.

In order to get more money, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty even marked the prices of various official positions and sold them publicly. The salaries of the officials of the Han Dynasty were calculated according to the grain, and in this regard, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was in business, and the price was fair and undeceived. One stone is counted as 10,000 yuan, and the price of Yulu is 2,000 stones, and the Taishou regulations sell for 20 million yuan, but the high-ranking officials at the third public level only sell for 10 million yuan, and the Jiuqing level only sells for 5 million yuan. The selling price of the Jingguan was lower than that of the magistrate, because Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty also knew that the magistrate was close to the people, and it was more convenient to loot money.

In addition, Emperor Ling of Han will also set prices flexibly according to the identity of the buyer. For example, the celebrity Cui Lie only bought Situ at half the price of five million yuan, and he was a member of the Cui family. And Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, had to buy the position of captain for 100 million yuan ten times the original price. This goods not only sells officials, but also allows those who have no money to buy officials on credit, and then pay when they get enough money after taking office, but they have to pay more, this is considered a loan to buy officials, pay in installments, this Emperor Han Ling is still quite business-minded.

Only during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Huangfu Song asked the emperor to take out the money from the small treasury to ensure military salaries, and Emperor Ling of Han could be regarded as taking out the money to quell the rebellion.

And Liu Bei actually wants to take advantage of this loophole, it's very simple, isn't it possible for you Emperor Han Ling to take out a loan to buy an official and pay in installments. I can take out a loan to buy a too guarded person, anyway, next year you will hang up as soon as you kick your legs, and I don't have to give money, of course, Liu Bei doesn't want to learn from Cui Lie In order to be the third duke, buy an official and ruin his reputation. This made Jian Yong go to the capital to carry out activities, wanting to change his official position from buying officials to nominally exchanging his military exploits in suppressing the Yellow Turban, which looks very in line with the aesthetics of people in this era.

Who knew that Emperor Han Ling actually gave a half-price discount, Liu Beixin said that there was really no need to give a discount, anyway, I didn't think about paying it back. It seems that this Emperor Ling of Han is really uneducated. It's terrible, I haven't heard of what Liu Bei borrowed from Jingzhou and never returned.

However, there was a rule in the Han Dynasty that before the local magistrate took office, he had to go to the court to meet the emperor, and it was appropriate to teach him face-to-face, of course, this rule also made it convenient for the emperor to collect money, so Liu Bei also had to go to Luoyang. After thinking about it, Liu Bei said: "Go, why don't you go, if you don't go to this plain phase, we won't be able to take it, what can a small county order do." ”

At this moment, Liu Bei's subordinates are full of talents, and the generals are related to Yu Zhang Fei, Zhao Yundian, and Wei, Liu Deran is his cousin, how to talk about his skills, how can he be regarded as a confidant, Jian Yong's argument is not hindered, although Cui Meng has no name in history, but he is also a talent, with these people It is no problem to live in a county, and when he is a taishou, he can recruit talents, and even the attraction of those small heroes is greatly increased, no longer an embarrassing scene of being a county order, it can be called a prince, this Luoyang has to go no matter what.

So Liu Bei recruited everyone to discuss the matter, and first told everyone that the emperor recruited Liu Bei to be promoted to Taishou, of course, the matter of paying money to buy officials was naturally omitted, this is the Spring and Autumn penmanship, which is not enough to shine. After thinking about it, Liu Bei said his true thoughts, but he didn't say that he bought the official himself, only said that he wanted to promote himself because he had military merits, but he still had to pay the money and change the order of things, and the nature of the matter was completely different. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty asked them to hand over money in the name of helping the army or repairing the palace in the name of helping the army, so no one would doubt the authenticity of the matter.

When Zhang Fei heard this, he said angrily: "My brother took the risk of arrows and stones, was born and died, and made such a contribution, but the emperor still needs money to be promoted, it is really ......" But Liu Bei raised his hand to stop him from continuing, but said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, how can we be vain as courtiers." ”

Guan Yu touched his beard, and seemed to be a little unhappy. Liu Bei said: "If I make a county order today, I can save the people of a county, if I can be a Taishou, I can save the people of a county, and if I am a state pastor, I can save the people of a state. As for asking for money, it is completely possible to take office first and pay later, but it is just a matter of paying more, and it will cost 20 million if I have military merits, and although I have military merits that can be broken in half, I also need 10 million, doesn't this force me to loot the people on a large scale. But when I straighten out the land of a county, and wait until all the people live and work in peace and contentment, I will hang up the seal and leave, what can I do now, can I still be arrested and punished? ”

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others heard this: "Brother, lord can't. Only Jian Yong and Liu Deran knew the details, and they didn't say anything, Liu Bei said: "Don't take the good as small, don't take the evil as small." I encourage you to do so. Speaking of this, Liu Bei raised his head, looked up at the starry sky, and said in his heart, in the future, in the history of the future, the acting skills of the emperors of the ages will be the first, who else will I be.
