Taking advantage of the time to treat Huang Xu, Guo Binzi also had in-depth conversations with Liu Bi, Huang Shao and others. are all men who come and go in the wind and rain, struggling for their lives on the rivers and lakes, a meal and a bowl of wine, they can become good friends who talk about everything, not to mention that Guo Bin and Zhang Jiao are so related?

With the communication with Liu Bi and others, Guo Bin also learned about their hardships. All this, in the final analysis, is still poor.

They were originally Taiping Dao people living in the south of Yingchuan, because the emperors of Yingchuan County, Fu Song and Zhu Jun, worked hard to exterminate Taiping Dao, and Liu Pi came to the south with the remnants. All the way south, after Runan, to the Yangtze River. Originally, the land along the Yangtze River was still fertile, and if you plant seeds, you can grow food, and people's lives will be easier. However, a sudden epidemic has caused the population of the south to plummet, and there are fewer people who pay "protection fees", and of course their life in this cottage is not easy.

But after all, there are thousands of people of all ages, young and old, who want to eat, and the Yellow Turban Army uprising is not all combatants, and the old and young who are coerced by it, and even the families of the soldiers, how can they give up? Therefore, Liu Pi had to send people out to raise food when the food in the cottage was about to run out.

Huang Shao was ordered to come out to raise grain, but many villages and towns on both sides of the Yangtze River have become dead villages, and he can't even see a single figure, but where can he raise grain? In this way, the food team will starve to death on the way. When he arrived here, he found that there were still people in this small fishing village, and Huang Shaofang relied on the large number of people to start a business with no capital.

The rest of the matter is clear, Huang Zhong took his son here, because he was taken in by the villagers, and he was born heroic, so he stepped forward, but Huang Shao used the villagers as a threat, and finally he was subdued. However, Huang Shao didn't dare to do anything for himself, but just gathered the villagers to make it easier to take care of them. No, at dusk that day, Guo Bin appeared.

Huang Shao saw that these people were all high-headed horses, and immediately packed their bags, thinking that they were merchants going south, so he wanted to do something to rob the rich and help the poor, but Guo Bin saw through it, which led to a scuffle.

The ins and outs of the matter are already clear, since Liu Pi and Huang Shao and their gang are not extremely vicious and conscienceless villains, Guo Bin is not concerned with himself. But from the perspective of Zhang Jiao's relationship, Guo Bin can't just watch Liu Pi, a villager from the village, suffer here. If it is allowed to develop like this, after a long time, even good people will have to do bad things. Resources are limited, in order to survive, everyone has to compete, and in the end, it is natural to speak with a hard fist.

Guo Bin's idea was to move north. The old and weak women and children in the village were moved to Yingchuan, and then the young and strong men found a job in Yingchuan County. As for what kind of work it is, Guo Bin has already thought about it for them.

Years of natural disasters and the Yellow Turban Rebellion have caused turmoil in the world, and thieves have risen from all over the world. Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been basically pacified, it is only the main force of the Yellow Turban Army that has been wiped out, and many of the Yellow Turban Army that have been scattered are scattered in all directions. Most of these people are good men who are mixed in the rivers and lakes, although it is not a problem to fight and kill, but if you want to farm and do business, you are afraid that you don't have that ability, and people who are used to dancing with knives and guns are even more impatient to be obedient to the people. In addition, the Han court did not provide compensation to the common people after the war, and the people were still poor. Therefore, the Second Yellow Turban Rebellion, which can be said to be the second stage of the Yellow Turban Uprising, appeared in this way.

At this stage, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was not as powerful as Zhang Jiaoshi, nor was it aimed at overthrowing the Han court, but a small group of people scattered all over the country and occupied the mountain as the king. It is said that it is the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and many people are just pretending to be such a name.

Such scattered and sporadic uprisings, although no one did it intentionally, nor was it caused by the original Taiping Dao people communicating with each other, but purely because the Taiping Daoists and people in the rivers and lakes scattered in the Central Plains had to rise up in order to eat together, occupying the mountain as the king. However, it was this extremely scattered method of warfare that made the Eastern Han court more and more anxious.

Seeing such a situation of scattered troops like Liu Pi's subordinates, Guo Bin felt more and more that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the power of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was originally concentrated in the central government, was gradually decentralized, which was the trend of the times. Among them, the imperial court appointed himself as the general of Poxian Bei Zhonglang and gave himself the power to open accounts and set up a government, which is the product of this political trend.

This form of warfare, which blossomed everywhere, made it impossible for the government forces that were originally concentrated in the Eastern Han Dynasty to carry out conquests. If you think about it, if there are so many cottages in the world, if they all have to send regular troops to conquer them, not to mention whether the current corrupt bureaucratic system can succeed, the cost of the army alone is not something that the Eastern Han Dynasty can afford to have internal and external troubles and financial crises.

Therefore, since there is a precedent for the requisition of the gentry in the countryside during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the thieves who are entrenched in various places should be handed over to them, anyway, these bandits are a small force trapped in one place, although they can disturb the place, but they have absolutely no ability to attack the central government. In this way, the power of local governments at the county and county levels was greatly strengthened, and the county magistrates not only enjoyed the economic and political power of a locality, but also began to loosen their military power. Nowadays, there are even more calls for the DPRK and China to strengthen their power in the past, and the decentralization of power by the central government seems to have become an inevitable choice for maintaining social stability. From the example of Guo Bin's power being magnified, it can be seen that Liu Hong, the son of heaven, seems to be quite in favor of this choice, at least he has begun to carry out experiments, and Guo Bin is one of the pilots.

Although the situation is so turbulent today, the foundation of Yangzhai County and even the entire Yingchuan County is industry and commerce, and the foundation of industry and commerce is a fast and safe logistics system. Guo Bin has the responsibility and need to ensure the safety of business travel with Yingchuan County, and it is even more necessary to ensure the safety of several important trade routes. At least, Yingchuan connects the three cities of Luoyang-Taiyuan-Saiwai in Beijing, and then passes through Jizhou and returns to Yingchuan County, which must ensure safety, which is an important route connecting the Central Plains to Saiwai, an important route for merchants from the Central Plains to go north, and the foundation of the three cities outside the Saiwai, and the main artery of Yingchuan material circulation.

For this reason, Guo Bin and Liu Bi had a long talk, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Dong Xinger were all listening on the side, while Liu Bi's subordinates, only Huang Shao attended the meeting.

Guo Bin said: "Liu Da is in charge, has your ministry been living this kind of upheaval and precarious life?" ”

Liu Bi sighed and said, "How can I want to be like this!" Back then, wandering the rivers and lakes, how easy and freehand, but now there are more than 1,000 people in the village on their shoulders, how can they be wanton? ”

Guo Bin agreed: "For the sake of his subordinates, Guo admires it very much. It's just that have you ever thought about the future of more than 1,000 people in this village? ”

When Liu Bi heard this, his heart moved, he glanced at Huang Shao, and said, "Although I have only studied private school for a few days, I am also the most respectful person who reads well." Guo Zhijun is talented, strategic, please look at the deceased great sage and good teacher, for us to guide the maze, then I am up and down the village, grateful! ”

Guo Bin was very satisfied with Liu Bi's knowledge of current affairs, and he didn't hide it at the moment, saying: "Thanks to the affordability of the big boss, Guo will try his best to plan for the big boss." Liu Bi and Huang Shao listened, and they were both excited, Guo Bin's status is precious, and the reputation of "Good Money Boy" is now known to the world. The original Taiping Dao people in the three cities outside the Saiwai sent back the news that Guo Bin had done a good job outside the Saiwai, and nearly 500,000 Yellow Turban soldiers were properly placed by him, which is the fundamental reason why the remnants of the Yellow Turbans from all walks of life respect Guo Bin so much today. Now, since Guo Bin is willing to help, the rest of Liu Pi's more than 1,000 people will be guaranteed.

I only heard Guo Bin say: "What kind of craftsmanship does Liu Da have?" ”

Liu Bi shook his head and said: "I have been poor since I was a child, and later I met a great and virtuous teacher, and I got his blue eyes and worshiped him as a master." In addition to the martial arts of this body, there is nothing else to grow, even if it is farming, I am afraid that I can't do it! ”

Guo Bin nodded and said, "Then do business, is it a big deal?" ”

Liu Bi said: "Although I know a few words roughly, I can keep accounts and do arithmetic, but I have a headache. ”

Guo Bin said: "Since this is the case, then Guo is not talented, so he will point the way for the big boss." The big boss has neither the skills to support his family, nor does he know how to make money by trading, so he can only rely on his martial arts. ”

Liu Bi thought about it and felt that this was Guo Bin trying to recruit himself, and He Man was not an example? But my identity...

At that moment, Liu Bi suppressed his excitement and said: "Although I want to lead the horse for Guo Yuanjun, my status is low, and I am afraid that it will cause trouble for the envoy." ”

Guo Bin smiled, this Liu Pi is sensible, he knows that he met in Pingshui, and he is from Taiping Dao, so it is impossible for Yingchuan County to accept his entire cottage of people under his hands. If there are only three or two people, Guo Bin will arrange them to be a guard, which is stable and there is no problem at all. But there are more than 1,000 people in this cottage, Guo Bin recruited him, and it is good to be a good citizen under his rule, if they are all arranged in the army, it is a crime of colluding with Taiping Dao, although it can't hurt the muscles and bones, but it is always troublesome.

"Brother Liu and I hit it off at first sight, and the great sage and good teacher Yu have a half-teacher friendship below, so you and I are still brothers. The great sage and good teacher are already immortals, how can I make Brother Liu like a royal cow and horse? After a pause, Guo Bin continued: "Brother Liu, do you know that my Yingchuan is based on industry and commerce? ”

The sentence "Brother Liu" is called a comfortable one by Liu Pi! The young man in front of him is not an ordinary person, just the name in the court is a big uproar. In the eyes of ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, the county guard is probably a figure in the sky, not to mention that Guo Bin's reputation is shocking in the sea, and the good men on the rivers and lakes will give a thumbs up when they hear it! is such a character, call yourself Brother Liu! How much face is this?

At that moment, Liu Bisheng blushed and said: "I have heard that Yangzhai County is rich in the world, who doesn't know?" ”

Guo Bin smiled and said: "For industrial and commercial development, circulation is fundamental. It's just that if there is chaos today, all over the country is risking the name of the Yellow Turban Army, setting up mountains, pulling people into the gang, saying that it is robbing the rich and helping the poor, but isn't it all about robbing homes and houses, robbing the rich and helping the poor? Ignoring Liu Pi, who was about to speak, Guo Bin continued: "I want to use Brother Liu's name to keep my various trade routes safe, what does Brother Liu think?" ”

Liu Bi thought for a moment, and never thought of where he came from to be a great name that could protect Guo Bin's various trade routes, so he had to ask: "So what I want, it's just that the next person is soft-spoken, although he also has some face in the rivers and lakes, once or twice is okay, if you want to keep safe forever, it is to cut off the financial road of the cottages, I'm afraid that the heroes from all walks of life can't sell this face!" ”

Guo Bin nodded, secretly appreciating. This Liu Bi's brain is still spinning fast, and he can see the key at a glance, he is a seedling. At that moment, he leaned forward and said: "Naturally, Brother Liu can't be a lobbyist with empty mouths and white teeth, Guo means that every time there is a cargo to be transferred, Brother Liu will follow him, and he will try his best to make friends with all the heroes he meets on the road." We provide them with food every year as the cost of buying roads, which not only ensures the safety of the goods, but also has a way to protect the old and young in the village, what does Brother Liu think? ”
