Increasing the general headquarters is something Yanbei has long wanted to do. Although he could not send troops to the south in time due to the pain left by the imperial court's relocation of the capital, the rapid expansion of the south, led by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, as well as the sudden rise of Sun Ce, made Yanbei's heart tremble. Even if they all have an ambiguous attitude towards the imperial court at the moment, and even sent envoys to pay tribute a year ago, they can't let Yanbei dispel their doubts, but they are more and more jealous.

They have all been princes, and Yanbei can easily see their obscure meaning from the items they pay tribute, and he also knows their thoughts. Their tribute is mostly gold and jade products and some treasures from the past. Just like Yanbei paid tribute to Confucius to the imperial court in the past...... Only at this time did Yan Bei know how funny it was for him to pay tribute to Confucius in the past.

Confucius was useless to him, so he handed it over to the imperial court. And Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others thought that these gold and jade were of little use to them, so they handed them over to the imperial court.

In fact, to put it bluntly, they are all taking the emperor and courtiers as fools.

On the contrary, the emperor and courtiers eat this set, and sometimes people just owe. In the past, Li Dao Guo Yan was hungry and intimidated them, so when Yanbei gave them the usual disdain to eat those fishy pork, everyone was moved to cry bitterly. But now that they are full, Yanbei respects them, but he doesn't feel anything.

This is human nature, Yanbei understands.

But his mother's Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu sent some gold and jade artifacts, and one by one the servants praised Shi Yilang in every possible way and smiled from ear to ear, what is going on!

It's really winter, even if the earth dragon is burning in the main hall, Yan Bei's lips are purple from the cold, otherwise he will throw out the tattered things that were dug out of the cemetery with a blue face.

That's right, it was dug in the graveyard.

Jiang Jin had done those things in the past, and Yan Bei knew at a cursory glance that when those remelted gold cakes and glazed glass were put together, he not only saw that these things were dug out of the ground with gold, but also knew that there was more glaze and less gold.

dug up the tomb of Liu's ancestors, and sent the glass back, and Jin himself left it...... A bunch of fools still say good things for them in the court.

But Yan Bei couldn't stand up and say that these things were dug up in the ground, and he was on the cusp of the storm, and he didn't seem to let people know that he had also done grave digging and robbing in the past.

'Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, that's what General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Touching Jin did, right? ’

Some time ago, Yanbei got the news of Yanyu that Cao Cao's newly recruited capable person Yi Shili set up a lieutenant general and a few captains, with strange names and few posts, not to select elite generals, obviously not for the purpose of conquest, and at that time he was worried fiercely for a while, but in a blink of an eye, he knew the usefulness of these people in the court.

Raising military spending.

It is not difficult to imagine that although the princes of all walks of life are rich in the world and have torn the earth to become kings, they are also poor because of the gold-swallowing beast of war. It can be said that none of these princes who have not died now are poor and extravagant, even if they can come up with hundreds of gold to reward their subordinates who have made military achievements, but for themselves, they are racing one by one.

Because there is no money.

Yan Bei is considered the richest among the princes of the world, and now he deserves to be the richest person in the whole world. This is not only because he sits on the two states of Youji, but also because his caravan can not only pass freely in the two states that have nothing to do with the card, but also can trade with the Saiwai Dongyi and Beiyu, and can also safely pass through the war-torn annexed states and the relatively stable Guanzhong, and trade with Liangzhou, Yizhou, and Jingzhou.

It's just that even the court he controls is anxious about money and food, not to mention others.

It's not a good time, for everyone. The increasingly fierce military strife made the relationship between the princes and the people more like an obligation, all for the sake of war.

Farming, making money, mining, iron smelting, and even reading and raising horses were all for the war.

Of course, there are not no Taoyuan, for example, in the remote Yizhou, Jiaozhou, and the relatively elegant Jingzhou, the living conditions of the people are much better than even in Youji. Except for Liangzhou and the state, which are fighting with themselves, the Kanto region has always been the area where military strife and conflict are most intense.

At this time, the southern princes did not pay taxes to the imperial court, which means that they were not subservient.

To be honest, digging graves and robbing graves is indeed a good way to quickly expand military spending, but Yanbei can't use it.

However, in comparison, even Yanbei, who does not rob tombs, is much richer than Cao Cao after excavating the grave.

He doesn't expand military spending, he wants to expand the army!

Not surprisingly, Guangluxun's proposal to expand the four school captains did not have much impact in the DPRK, and the reduction of the northern army was also more smooth than Yanbei imagined...... Because the imperial court has no money.

And the reason why the abolition of the five schools of the Northern Army went so smoothly is the same, the understanding of the minister is still very high, since the operation of the imperial court has not been affected by the lack of official positions, then why use so many 2,000 stones?

At this time, people realized the advantages of having fewer military official positions and flexible handling of affairs for princes like Yanbei, and the official positions could not only be suspended but could not be changed.

At this point, it is also a good thing for Chongji to lead the army north. At least when he said bad things about Yanbei in the palace, many people broke out in a cold sweat for him in their hearts, although it seems that the ministers also don't think it's a good errand to go to Liaodong, at least they think that Yanbei is not as barbaric as Li Guo.

You must know that after Kong Rong ridiculed the seed series in front of the emperor, many people felt that Yanbei had not killed anyone until now, and the eight achievements of the seed series were the first one.

But this turmoil was as if it had never happened, the small family was still safe in Yedu, and he himself led his troops to Liaodong, and even later there was a rumor from the Taiwei Mansion that Yanbei asked him to settle Goguryeo.

This relieved the already upright ministers of the DPRK, at least Yanbei was not as violent as rumored; At the same time, it also made those people with ill intentions sober up fiercely, Yanbei is not like Dong Zhuo, let alone Li Dao...... This big Sima is much more ruthless than them.

Are people afraid of death? Those who dare to confront the powerful are usually not afraid of death, and the desire for profit has long made them transcend the fear of death. So what are they afraid of? I'm afraid I'll die silently.

Being killed by Dong Zhuo and being killed by Li Dao can make people who originally didn't know about one suddenly become famous, and even future generations will be reused in the future.

This also makes them not afraid of death to a certain extent, but what about Yanbei?

If you throw people to the north without saying a word, you will die...... He also died in a foreign war, and he was not good at his own skills, so what good name could he leave behind?

It's not a well-deserved death.

Yan Bei didn't have time to pay attention to what the minister thought, he was looking at the letter in the Great Sima Mansion, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

Du Liao Department in Bingzhou because of the West River, Wuyuan and other places and the Southern Xiongnu royal court of evil, the two sides fought, Du Liao was defeated and retreated to Yanmen, Du Liao general Jiang Jin was wounded, I hope that Yanbei can let Zuoxian King Liu Bao return to the Xiongnu royal court, bridge the relationship with the imperial court!
