Chapter 50 Entering Chengdu

The next day, Shi Yuan accompanied Liu Zhang to the city gate of Chengdu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info At this time, the city gate of Chengdu has been opened, and the time agreed with the lord Liu Bei yesterday is the time, and now it is about to arrive, Shi Yuan is standing next to Liu Zhang at this time, waiting for the arrival of the lord Liu Bei, Liu Zhang did not say anything to Shi Yuan on the way, and Shi Yuan did not ask Liu Zhang what happened last night, and the two of them only had a few words of greeting from meeting to now, and basically did not say anything afterwards.

Shi Yuan looked up at the sun on his head, the time came, turned his head to look outside the city gate, only to see that at this time outside the city gate a big flag fluttering in the wind, a big character "Liu" on the book, his own lord Liu Bei, wearing golden iron armor, Lu Ma under the crotch, hanging a double-strand sword on his waist, followed by rows of generals and strategists, a group of people slowly from outside the Chengdu city gate to Chengdu City.

After the group walked into the city gate, the officials at all levels in Yizhou who were standing on both sides of the city gate knelt down and shouted: "Welcome Uncle Liuhuang!" ”

After Liu Bei entered the city, he looked around, and after seeing Liu Zhang standing aside, he hurriedly dismounted, and then came to Liu Zhang, grabbed Liu Zhang's hand, and then said with tears:

"It's not that I want to take your Xichuan land, but the current situation forces me to do it!"

Subsequently, Liu Zhang handed over the Yizhou Mu's seal silk book to Liu Bei, and then said to Liu Bei:

"I hope Liu Yuzhou can treat the people of Yizhou well! Let them no longer suffer from war. ”

After the delivery of the silk books, Liu Bei, Shi Yuan and his party walked to the Chengdu palace, and after Liu Bei and his generals and strategists arrived at the palace together, Liu Bei immediately issued several orders, and then ordered people to write this order on paper and post it in various places in Chengdu City. I saw that the paper read:

"1. It is strictly forbidden for soldiers to rob the finances of the people in the city, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! 2. It is strictly forbidden for soldiers to harass women in the city, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! 3. Exempt the people of Chengdu from paying taxes for one year, 4. Set up an aid point in the city, and the people can go to the aid point for help if they have any problems, and 5. Take out part of the military grain and grass and funds to fund the people in need in the city! After the order was written, the literati immediately handed it over to the others, copied many copies, and went to various places in Chengdu to post them.

At Shiyuan's suggestion, Liu Bei then appointed Liu Zhang as the Taishou of Lingling, and went to Lingling to take up his post on the same day. Then appoint the generals and advisers of Yizhou and the generals and advisers of Jingzhou, and give rewards, and I will not describe them one by one.

After attending the grand celebration ceremony in the hall, Shi Yuan returned to the mansion that Liu Bei had just given today, and it was already evening. Because it is a mansion that has just been given, it has not yet had time to recruit some servants, and the light and appearance of the far away city have not yet come to pick it up, so the current mansion is already very quiet in the evening. Shi Yuan sat alone in the main hall at this time, and the quiet night was the easiest time to recall the old things.

The howling cold wind blew uncontrollably outside the house, and the doors and windows made unpleasant noises from time to time. There was a large brazier in the house, and a lot of charcoal was placed in the brazier, and the burning of charcoal added some warmth to the cold main hall. Shi Yuan was sitting next to the brazier at this time, and he was still wrapped in a large thick quilt.

"It's so cold in the winter!"

I didn't know that I had been in the Three Kingdoms for more than half a year, and I didn't know how my mother was doing in the future, and I couldn't go back! Shi Yuan sat by the brazier and kept thinking.

"It's still the same sentence, if you come, you will be safe, since you can't go back, then show your skills in this period! And I've done a lot of great things in the past six months! Thinking of this, Shi Yuan also showed some smiles on his face.

At this moment, a servant knocked on the door outside the house and said that the lord had come to the courtyard and was at the gate first. When Shi Yuan heard this, he quickly stood up, and then walked out quickly, only to see Liu Bei walking towards him.

"Lord, Shiyuan came in person late at night, I was very afraid, what is the matter, the lord sent someone to summon me!" Shi Yuan hurriedly walked in front of Liu Bei, bent down and said.

"Shiyuan, it's okay. I can't sleep either, so I'm here to discuss some things with Shi Yuan. Liu Bei said.

Shi Yuan accompanied Liu Bei into the main hall, and the two sat down around the brazier, only to hear Shi Yuan say:

"I don't know what the lord came to me late at night to discuss?"

"Shiyuan, now that we have just obtained Chengdu City, it can be said that the entire Yizhou is now under our control. However, after three years of war in Yizhou, the people of Yizhou have suffered a lot, the population of Yizhou has also declined, and a lot of farmland is now barren, so it is not a way to go on like this! I don't know if Shiyuan has any good decisions now? ”

"Lord, in fact, I was thinking about how to solve the problems you just said. The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, so whether there is enough grain and grass is related to whether our army can win the battle. Now we have obtained Yizhou, there is a lot of fertile land in Yizhou, I think that the founding emperor of the Han dynasty relied on Yizhou as his rear, and finally won the battle with Xiang Yu to get the world, and now is the time for the lord to follow the example of Han Gaozu.

Now I have a few suggestions to listen to with the Lord. First, farming and cultivating grains, and retreating to the people. Second, the salt and iron official camp, Daxing Shu brocade. Third, science and education should be strict, and the virtuous should be accepted. Fourth, form an alliance with Eastern Wu and resist Cao Wei in the north. In fact, these suggestions were not what Shi Yuan thought of at all, but some of the measures taken by Zhuge Liang to govern Shu, but now that Zhuge Liang is far away in Jingzhou, Shi Yuan will unceremoniously take them and use them first at this time.

Specifically, the first is to vigorously encourage the local people to develop agricultural production and strive to improve the economy of Yizhou; The second is that Yizhou's salt and iron should be operated by the state, and a special institution can be set up for the operation of salt and iron; Shu brocade is a major specialty of Chengdu, in the Eastern Han Dynasty in Chengdu set up a special management agency "Jin Guan" to manage Shu brocade, and a large part of the economic resources of Shu in history are dependent on Shu brocade, so we must strengthen the management of Shu brocade; the third is to recruit and appoint wise men and make more contributions to the country; The fourth is that the alliance with Eastern Wu must be maintained, and then jointly fight against Cao Cao in the north.

Liu Bei listened carefully and nodded incessantly, seemingly agreeing with Shi Yuan's statement. After Shi Yuan finished speaking, Liu Bei said to Shi Yuan:

Shi Yuan's words are extremely true. Now that the land of Yizhou is in ruins, and a capable person is needed to govern Yizhou, I don't know if Shiyuan has any suggestions? ”

When Shi Yuan heard Liu Bei say this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said:

"I wonder what the lord thinks of Mr. Kong Ming?"

"Kong Ming? If it were Kong Ming, I would never have an opinion, but now that Kong Ming is in Jingzhou, I can't leave for a moment! ”

"The lord doesn't need to worry, and listen to the ministers slowly."
