Sun Yi: It was really difficult for him to understand Liu Bei's urgency.

Liu Bei looked at Sun Yi and thought in his heart, this Sun Yi is afraid that he is also the local snake in Jinan, and he has been working hard for Liu Bei these days, collecting grain and grass, and sparing no effort. At this moment, although he did not vehemently oppose it, he also said that he could not do it, and there was no doubt that Sun Yi must have a large number of interests in the iron works of Dongpingling.

Liu Bei scolded secretly, in the future, the Han family will be declining, and the heroes will be divided, Liu Bei is the assassin of Qingzhou, basically, he can see that everything in Qingzhou belongs to him, how can he let people dig their own corners, and they are about to speak. saw that Xi Zhicai shook his head at him. Liu Bei was slightly stunned, the locals of Dongpingling objected, Liu Bei was not surprised, but Xi Zhicai also objected, which made Liu Bei feel a little incredible. Since the return of the drama Zhicai, Liu Bei has undressed and pushed food, doubled his favor, granted heavy power, and gave generous rewards. Moreover, Xi Zhicai was born in a poor family, but he was not a powerful family, so Liu Bei felt strange in his heart, his face did not change at all, he just waved his hand and signaled the two to retreat.

After a while, Xi Zhi went and returned, Liu Bei stepped forward and said, "Mr. goes and returns, there must be something to say to me." ”

Xi Zhicai said: "The lord's move is afraid of causing unease among the wealthy families in the state, according to the opinion of the lower officials, it is better to take it step by step." ”

Liu Bei frowned, and said that he was too anxious, was he really in a hurry, so he asked: "The world is about to be in chaos, it is the time when every second counts, how can you wait?" ”

"Every second counts?" Xi Zhicai was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

"Oh," Liu Bei smiled bitterly, accidentally leaking out the habits of modern people, so he had to say: "It means that time is urgent." ”

Xi Zhicai didn't understand why Liu Bei was so sure that the world would be chaotic, but it didn't mean that he couldn't see that the world was going to be chaotic.

In this era at the end of the Han Dynasty, many people saw that the world was going to be chaotic, and the Han Empire ate jujube pills, and each made its own preparations.

For example, Taiwei Qiao Xuan, he said to Cao Cao: "In the future, the world will be in chaos, and only you can calm the world and save the people from fire and water." He also entrusted his family to Cao Cao. Later, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao

After that, when the ambition was complacent, the class teacher triumphed. On the way, I deliberately went to the cemetery of Qiaoxuan to pay tribute, and wrote a sacrificial text.

In this memorial text, Cao Cao praised Qiao Xuan's virtues, recalled the past when he received Qiao Xuan's teachings as a child, and was supported by Qiao Xuan, Cao Cao said that when I was young, everyone looked down on me, only you and me

Near, treat me, give me honor. In the end, Cao Cao said: Those who are confidants die, I miss your kindness, and I will never forget Yunyun until death.

Or Liu Yan, Liu Yan originally planned to go to Jiaozhou, which is today's Liangguang and Vietnam. In the Han Dynasty, if a person had a deep grudge against someone else, he would say that unless the person "went north."

, South Walk Further. "Otherwise, I will find him for revenge. Liu Yan's choice of such a position is purely of the nature of fleeing. He probably foresaw the impending chaos in the world, so he planned to escape as far as he could.

At this time, Dong Fu came to see him, and Dong Fu was angry, saying that Yizhou had the spirit of a son of heaven. Liu Yan was a very superstitious person, so he changed his mind and went to Yizhou. Dong Fu's prediction is quite accurate. But this day is angry

It's not Liu Yan's, it's Liu Bei's.

But this year, the Han Empire seemed to be in motion, first the Wuhuan people in the northeast were defeated, and then the Xiliang rebellion was defeated. It can be said that the Han Empire has had the best year since the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Only Liu Bei knows that this is actually a return to the light. The four hundred years of chaos were about to begin, and it was not until the establishment of the Sui and Tang Dynasties that the Chinese enjoyed another hundred years of peace.

However, these are all Xi Zhicai's concerns, he said: "It is precisely because the world is about to be in chaos that stability should be the main thing." If the lord recovers the iron ore of Dongpingling today, it will also require a large number of people to operate, and who else has more experience than the craftsmen of Shangdongpingling. In the end, it is not up to the local powerful clans, who will not only not cooperate, but will also secretly sabotage. If this is the case, it will not be able to produce normally for at least two or three years. ”

Nodding, Liu Bei also knew that what Xi Zhicai said was very reasonable, so he asked, "If you see it, what should you do?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "The imperial court has benefited very little from the Dongpingling Iron Mine, but the tax officials are greedy for ink, colluding with the powerful, and evading taxes. As long as you replace another qualified prisoner, you can receive a huge amount of money a year. It will not affect production. The lord, what should really be let go of the operation, should be the Licheng Iron Mine, where there is a blank, so that it is convenient for the lord to act. ”

Liu Bei said: "If it weren't for your words, I almost broke a big deal." ”

At that moment, he called people to the plains, and sent hundreds of people among the generals who were disabled, among whom the disabled were relatively mild. These disabled people, Liu Bei in order to buy the hearts of the army, are all generous, although there are not many, there are hundreds, these people are grateful to Liu Bei, everyone is loyal, and there will be no problems in using them as prisoners in a short time. Of course, after a long time, it will definitely be bought, but it doesn't matter, when the time comes, just change a group of people. It's also a mix of sand first.

Even, to put it mildly, it can justifiably dispose of a batch of burdens that can only cost money every day and cannot work. If you can stand the test, then even if you are disabled, how can you not be an official?

So, he sent someone to invite Sun Yi to come over, saying: The supervision of the tax officials in Dongpingling is unfavorable, resulting in the damage to the national tax revenue, so Liu Bei wants to remove a cadre of iron officials and replace them with his own cronies, Sun Yi has nothing to say, so he has to respond.

Since Liu Bei pacified Jinan, he wanted to send troops to Taishan County. Jinan naturally also has county soldiers, and there are thousands of them. Because in such a big iron factory as Dongpingling, the weapons and equipment are very good, Liu Bei is not polite, and directly accepts these troops, after picking and choosing, there are also four or five thousand people, according to the way the government soldiers deal with it, each person will be given 100 acres of land. Suddenly, they received the hearts of the army, most of these county soldiers are child servants who can be strong, but they are just fathers and mothers, and there are no 100 acres of relatives.

After sorting out the military affairs of Jinan, Liu Bei first sent Zhuge Jin to Taishan Taishou and sent a letter. The letter said that he had defeated the Jinan Yellow Turban and beheaded more than 40,000 people, but in fact there were only 4,000, but the ancient rules were like this. Kill the enemy tenfold and repay it, the internal deterrence is not subordinate, and the external shock is barbarian. Now I want to go to conquer the Taishan thieves, please Ying Shao to receive the grain and grass, knowing that the land of Taishan County is barren, therefore, I want to ask Ying Shao to ask for help from Yanzhou County with me.

The letter was written, handed over to everyone to see, and they all said that there was no problem, Liu Bei sent Zhuge Jin to deliver the letter, and the reason why Zhuge Jin was used to send the letter was also because Zhuge Jin's father had been a county official in Taishan County, and it was also a bit of incense. In addition, it is not without the intention of promoting Zhuge Jin.
