Tao Qian died, and Xuzhou will definitely change greatly.

Mi Zhu really didn't go back, but he sent a few people to write to Mi Fang, asking him to take people to guard the barracks, and if he could, bring people out.

The Mi family is a big family in Xuzhou and has a foundation, Liu Bei will not do anything as long as he does not fully control Xuzhou, so they still have time.

The situation changed very quickly, and Liu Bei finally had a territory.

A few days later, Liu Bei buried Tao Qian and officially received the Xuzhou pastor.

Liu Bei took office, half of the soldiers and horses were in his hands, and the other soldiers and horses were divided into several factions, and Liu Bei's family was dominant.

These people are the old courtiers left by Tao Qian, and they are the wealthy family of Xuzhou, and Liu Bei can't do anything to them, at least not in a short time.

And Liu Bei's first thing to deal with is Mi Fang, he wants to stabilize Cao Bao and Zang Ba, and first seize Mi Fang's military power.

Mi Fang has 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and there are also Mi family's disciples in Xuzhou, and Liu Bei is also very cautious in handling it.

In fact, Liu Bei is most afraid of Zhang Yu.

How to say that Mi Fang is also Zhang Yu's second brother, if Zhang Yu uses this as an excuse to attack Liu Bei, Liu Bei's foothold is not stable, and it is indeed dangerous.

Liu Bei didn't have a few useful staff, he was very passive, he only had one Jian Yong, and it was useless before, because Xuzhou was not Liu Bei's master, so he couldn't install people.

"My lord, my subordinates suggest that we negotiate with Zhang Yu and let all the Mi family move out of Xuzhou, otherwise we will throw a mouse into the trap, and it is also a hazard for Mi Fang to stay in Xuzhou." Jian Yong suggested.

At this time, Jian Yong was the person Liu Bei relied on the most, and many things were handed over to him to deal with.

Zhang Fei on the side couldn't give him any ideas except to lead the troops, and Guan Yu could only put forward some less important suggestions, and Liu Bei could only discuss this kind of important matter with Jian Yong.

Liu Bei was so angry that he wanted to scold, but he couldn't help it.

It seems that there is only compromise for the time being.

"Zhang Yu, one day, I will expel all your merchants and confiscate all your property in Xuzhou." Liu Bei secretly hated in his heart, and after he became a pastor of Xuzhou, he still couldn't do anything about Zhang Yu.

When Liu Bei took office, he naturally had to set a few fires.

However, after he checked the information and treasury of Xuzhou, he did not release a single fire.

"If you want to win people's hearts, you must have construction, but now, there are only hundreds of thousands in the treasury, and even the usual expenses are scarce." Liu Bei said anxiously.

Hundreds of thousands, for a state, what is enough.

But that's all Tao Qian left to his family.

After the Great War, it took too much money to restore the place, especially to recruit soldiers and horses.

However, although Xuzhou is rich, it cannot afford to consume so much in a short period of time.

Tao Qian did not worry when he was there, because with his prestige, it was easy to raise the money he needed if he wanted to borrow some money or exchange it for other benefits.

So although the treasury was empty, Tao Qian was not worried.

But Liu Bei is not Tao Qian, he just came to Xuzhou, who will bird him.

If you are like Zhang Yu, it is okay to loot those families.

"Xianhe (Jian Yongzi), hundreds of thousands of dollars, I'm afraid we won't be able to spend a few days, we have to find a way." Liu Bei said.

"Lord, there should be a lot of money in the treasury of other counties and counties, this tax has just been collected, Tao Qian only let people transport part of it back, and the other part is left for their own use, but now it is difficult, the lord can transfer this part of the money over for urgent use." Jian Yong said.

Liu Bei sighed and said: "I just took office, and I wanted to be benevolent and win the hearts of the people, but in this way, wouldn't it be the opposite." ”

Liu Bei wants to buy people's hearts, which requires money, but now he has no money.

In this case, if you still have to fight against Zhang Yu, it will be very dangerous to think about it, what kind of war will you fight if you have no money, if the army moves, it will be ten thousand taels of gold, and the army will not be able to move without money.

Liu Bei spent a few days investigating the treasury in various places, but fortunately, the tax revenue had just been collected, and the money was not much, but there was a lot of food.

"What a lot of food, how did you deal with it before?" Liu Bei asked the official before he came to Xuzhou.

"Xuzhou Mu, in the past, Taozhou Mu used to hand over a part of the grain to the Mi family, let them sell it, and exchange it for money." The man replied.

Liu Bei nodded, let people go down, it was impossible to hand over the grain to the Mi family again, so they could only sell it themselves.

What he didn't know was that the Mi family had also withdrawn a lot, and most of the shops were sold through Zhang Yu's hands, and then the assets were brought to Jiangdong.

It is difficult for Liu Bei to take office, first of all, it is difficult to get through the money pass.

He had brought back a fortune of money from other counties, but it was not much, and it was only enough for him to survive the crisis.

The people in those counties were also quite dissatisfied with Liu Bei's approach, but after all, Liu Bei had 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he didn't dare to fight against him, but it was still very easy to make Liu Bei some trouble in private.

Liu Bei did not have enough talent to replace all the officials in Xuzhou.

If he has the ability, he will suppress all the families, replace them all with his own people like Zhang Yu, and firmly control the county.

But no one has the ability, so they can only rely on these families to govern the world.

So, Liu Bei began to woo these families.

After the Mi family was eliminated, he went to woo the Chen family.

The Chen family is the first family in Xuzhou, and the Mi family is the first business family in Xuzhou.

The Maison's power is certainly strong.

Chen Gui looks down on Liu Bei, but at present, Liu Bei is in power, and he can only deal with it temporarily.

Cao Bao and others were also not convinced by Liu Bei, because Liu Bei was an outsider.

In this way, after Liu Bei took office, he encountered various difficulties.

It was the salt merchants who supported him more.

Nowadays, these salt merchants are rich and powerful, and they are very powerful, but they also know that salt is more sensitive, and they must have a good relationship with the government, otherwise it will be difficult for them to monopolize salt.

"It's still these salt merchants." If someone supports it, there will be money, and Liu Bei can exchange other resources for their support.

The people of the Xu Du family of these salt merchants were promoted, and they also gave Liu Bei a considerable amount of money to stabilize the situation.

However, the Mi family's affairs will eventually be resolved, and Liu Bei decided to send Jian Yong to Jiangdong to negotiate with the Mi family and negotiate with Zhang Yu to discuss a solution.

Liu Bei, the pastor of Xuzhou, is really not easy, and he has to worry about a little money.

Xuzhou changed hands, and Cao Cao also saw the opportunity, but he was not able to negotiate again, but he had already begun to prepare.

On the other side, Yang Hong went back and told Yuan Shu that he refused to negotiate.

"If you don't know each other, then don't talk about it, what can he do if he directly occupies Poyang Lake." Yuan Shu said angrily.

Yang Hong hurriedly dissuaded and said: "Lord, don't do it, Zhang Yu is not what he used to be, we don't know how many troops he has at all, according to Zhang Yu's character, it's not good to provoke him, it's better for us to solve it with other methods." ”

Yuan Shu's face was gloomy, and he didn't continue to say that he wanted to fight Zhang Yu directly.
