Chapter 83: Liu Bian wants to borrow food

In the kind of later generations where information is extremely developed and social processes are developing rapidly, there is a generation gap of three years apart, and now, Liu Bian looks at this white-faced short beard, elegant appearance, and is definitely Xun You, who is the nemesis of the Loli girl controlled by those uncles in later generations, Liu Bian, who is only sixteen years old, actually feels a confidant in his heart.

It's really a wonderful person, if you go to Deyun Club to be a cheer, you will definitely be popular! Liu Wei saw it in his eyes and thanked him in his heart, and secretly became a fan of Xun You.

Liu Bian also pushed the wine glass in his hand forward, sat up straight, straightened his spine, and spoke.

"What Mr. Gongda said is that there is a way that the people take food as the sky, as small as a family, as large as a country, all of them are full of food, and the people of the future generations are at ease, and now, when I first arrived in Jizhou, the land I occupied is only this small corner, which can be described as a hundred wastes to be revived.

As Gongda said, at present, the soldiers and horses under my command, the people under my rule, and the upcoming homeless farmers all need food for their stomachs, and now that the summer planting time has passed, if you want to wait for the harvest time, you need the next year, so a whole year, how huge the cost of grain and grass is, I don't know, this is the internal worry! ”

Seeing Liu Wei talking eloquently, not only did he have something to say, but he was also well-organized, not only Xun You, Xi Zhicai, but also Guo Jia, nodded slightly and listened carefully.

Although Xun Yu also knows Liu Bian's general strategic thinking, but during this period of time, Liu Bian has re-sorted it out, and some of the details have also been improved, so Xun Yu also stopped shaking, thoughtful.

"Again! Now that I have sent an order to the world, I want to come to the capital to know about my imperial brother and the Dong thief of Xiliang in a few days, so I would like to ask you, if the Dong thief knows that I am still alive in the world, and now I am recruiting troops to serve the king, what will happen to the Dong thief? I guess the answer is already coming! This is my external trouble!

However, God bless my Han Empire, even if the Dong thief wants to raise troops to attack, in my calculations, it will be the fastest to wait until the spring of the next year, after all, the army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, I think that Dong Zhuo will also wait until after the autumn harvest to prepare the army food, and after the autumn harvest, it is a harsh winter, such a season, the use of troops in the north, but it is a big taboo, even if the Dong thief is arrogant, it is impossible to go against the sky!

Therefore, this period of less than a year is the period of solving our internal and external troubles, and it is the most critical time for us to vigorously develop, strengthen our armaments, stabilize the people, and clean up the people's hearts! And the key to this, as Mr. Gongda said: food!

Gaoyi, although it is the seat of Jizhou, but the influx of such soldiers, as well as the upcoming homeless, want to supply the rations of such a population, it is already beyond their strength, and it is obviously impossible to provide another grain for my winemaking plan.

However, the lack of grain in this official warehouse does not mean that there is no grain in Jizhou, and the monarchs know very well in their hearts that the largest grain reserve is actually not the official warehouse, but the ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Yan was silent, but smiled at the corner of his eyebrows, and glanced at everyone present.

Whether it is Xun Yu, Xun You, or Xi Zhicai and Guo Fengxiao, they are all handsome for a while, all of them are from famous families of the scholar family, hearing this, how could they not know what Liu Zhi was referring to.

Although the emperor is said to be the co-lord of the world and the emperor of the world, but in this Han Dynasty, whether it is land, food or wealth, in fact, most of them are concentrated in the hands of a few scholars.

"Your Majesty! Cannot! Xi Zhi thought of this, "poof", and stood up.

Originally, under the persuasion of Xun Yu, there was still some swaying in Xi Zhicai's heart, although Liu Bian was the emperor of Zhengshuo, but after all, he was still young, and his reputation was not very good, could he really stand up to the great cause of Zhongxing? So whether it is Xi Zhicai, Xun You and Guo Jia, they actually came to Gaoyi with the attitude of giving it a try.

Although Liu Bian's first impression on them was quite embarrassing, but next, Liu Bian's performance can be said to be remarkable, especially after listening to Liu Bian's speech, Xi Zhicai has recognized Liu Bian's talent, has such a clear idea, and the analysis of the opponent almost coincides with what Xi Zhicai thinks in his heart, so the balance in Xi Zhicai's heart has begun to tilt to Liu Bian.

And when Lieutenant General Liu began to point the spearhead at the Shi clan, Xi Zhicai finally stood up and spoke out against it.

"Your Majesty, today, if the people are the cornerstone, the scholars are the backbone of the world, whether the wealth of the world, or the scholars of the world, are in the hands of the scholars, if Your Majesty wants to revive our Han Dynasty, at this time, you must obtain the support of the scholars, and you must not be in a hurry, kill the chicken and take the eggs!"

Is Xi Zhicai right? Obviously, standing in this era, Xi Zhicai is not wrong in what he said.

Even if the majestic Cao Cao, the Great Wei Empire built by one-handedly, collapsed in less than 50 years, although this is inseparable from Sima Yi's old scheming, but Cao Cao's use of meritocracy, a large number of sons of the poor family, can be regarded as touching the interests of the scholars to control the road of government and government, and the loss of the support of the scholars is not unrelated.

Even in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the best of the scholars with five surnames and seven wangs were a huge force that could not be underestimated even by a generation of male masters, Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

Liu Bian, who is familiar with these historical processes, is naturally very clear about the role and harm of the scholars, although Liu Bian is not happy about the existence of these oligarchs like giants in politics, economy, and land, but at the moment, he has to be with them.

Therefore, after Liu Bian heard Xi Zhicai's words, he was actually offending the monarchy and touching the emperor's admonition, so he didn't laugh angrily.

"Haha, Zhicai's words are very good, I just said it, now is the time to clean up people's hearts, at this time, how can I do that kind of thing that makes the people deviate from morality!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Seeing that Liu Bian was as good as a stream, Xi Zhicai was also relieved.

"However, if this is the case, then where does the food that Your Majesty is talking about come from?" Since, your emperor doesn't go to rob big households and fight landlords! So how do you get food? Xi Zhicai asked.

"Borrow!" Liu Bian's hands were burdened, arrogant, and he actually said the word 'borrow' extremely loudly, and his face was a little ashamed, and he was also indebted!

"Borrow!?" When everyone heard this, they all showed puzzlement, but the corners of Guo Jia's mouth curled slightly.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, is the borrowing of grain you said related to this fine wine?"

I don't know, is that a small cup of 'soul wine' really had an effect, at this time Guo Fengxiao, although the flush on his face has not gone away, but in his eyes, he has already regained his clarity, and when he heard Liu Fan's words about borrowing food, a touch of amazing brilliance suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Haha, Bonghyo! I am your confidant in the wine country, but you are my confidant in state affairs, you should be a big deal! ”

"Your Majesty, this glass of wine, even if you owe Feng Xiao first, Feng Xiao still wants to hear His Majesty's clever plan!"

Although Guo Jia loves wine, at this time, he is more interested in Liu Bian's plan, even if Guo Jia faintly guesses Liu Bian's thoughts, but he is more willing to listen to this young emperor and say it himself!
