Liu Zhang's appointment, whether it is leading the army or governing the people, the sealing of Huang Quan has reached the extreme, Huang Quan is even more moved, and he attended the bow and said: "Huang Quan He De How can he be, with the trust of a small official in Langzhong, Huang Quan is willing to go to all the military power, rectify the people's livelihood in Yizhou for the lord, and live up to the trust of the lord." ”

"The last general will thank the lord." Zhang Ren also attended the bow.

"What are you two doing, didn't you say that you were doing it casually tonight? Get back in. Liu Zhang waved impatiently.

Huang Quan and Zhang Ren looked at each other, and their passion instantly vanished, and they returned to their seats stupidly.

"The battle of Fucheng and Wuxi, whether it is with the army or those who stayed in Chengdu, have merit and reward, Huang Quan is engaged in the relocation of the government, and is in charge of the civil affairs of Yizhou, Wang Fu is officially in charge of the Chengdu order, subordinate to Huang Quan, in addition to managing the people's livelihood in Chengdu, but also to ensure that Chengdu hoards grain, grass and ordnance.

Zhang Ren was crowned as a general, responsible for rectifying and training Dongzhou soldiers, Deng Xian took over Zhang Ren's post as a supervisor and protector, and took over the defense of Chengdu west of Mianzhu Pass, Yan Yan led the expedition to Xizhonglang General, responsible for training Zhao Wei to surrender troops, the generals of Fucheng First War, Lei Tong, Liu Xuan, Leng Bao, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, all promoted to captain, Zhang Song's appointment will be talked about later, and the other Chengdu civil and military guards are added to the two percent, and the civil officials at the east gate of Fucheng are added to fifty percent, as for filial piety and Wang Ti, no other reward, do you have any disagreement? ”

Wang Lei's face was expressionless, Fa Zheng pursed his lips, only Zhang Song's face was proud, but he didn't expect that he was so outstanding, the lord also had a special appointment, and the other civil and military forces bowed down to thank him.

Liu Zhang was talking with a smile, when he suddenly felt a faint pain in his head, pressed his temples, and wiped his face with both hands to clear his mind, "Okay, the seal is also sealed, now tell you what to do."

Huang Quan said well, the Hao people are unpredictable, Wang Fu, you go to inform the patriarch of the Chengdu clan, half a month later is the Ghost Festival in Xichuan, the official will sacrifice to the sky in Donglingtai, let the patriarchs of all clans voluntarily attend, and prepare for the four imperial examinations, two months later, the candidates who passed the re-examination in Jiangzhou will come to Chengdu, don't be as good as the questions and test items on our side than the level of Jiangzhou, and the face will be lost. ”

"Yes." Wang Fu bowed in response.

"What Wang Fu said is good, the iron has to be hard, we Yizhou should be a big prosperous agriculture, now the Central Plains is in chaos, the people of Sanfu are not living, many refugees have fled to Jingyi Erzhou, Huang Quan, you have to do a good job of sheltering, the eastern part of Yizhou and the western part of Chengdu are very desolate, you can encourage them to open up the wasteland, and the land they open up is their own, and it is tax-free for three years."

"Yes."

"Okay, that's it for today." Liu Zhang got up from his seat: "Everything is complicated, everyone will go back first, Huang Quan Zhang Ren Wang Fu Zhang Song stayed." ”

The four of them accompanied Liu Zhang and King Fazheng into the house, and the seven of them sat on the ground, forming a circle, Liu Xun heard Liu Zhang coming back, ran out of the bedroom, shook Liu Zhang's shoulders, and said in a childish voice: "Daddy, teach me to write?" ”

Liu Zhang touched Liu Xun's head and said, "Daddy is busy, Xun'er writes it by himself first." ”

Liu Xun's little face collapsed, and he left unhappily.

Liu Zhang shook his head and turned to the six people: "Leaving a few of you behind, the main thing is that there is a major matter to discuss with you, I have decided to expand Xichuan's army, and officially go out to Sichuan to fight after stabilizing the interior." ”

Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and others were all happy, Huang Quan and Wang Fu also smiled with satisfaction, the lord finally officially decided to participate in the princes' struggle for hegemony, that is, the time has come for his own achievements, Zhang Song excitedly crossed his legs, his heart was inexplicably excited, his talent is finally useful.

Liu Zhang was not as excited as few people, and said worriedly: "The army is out of Sichuan, and it involves a wide range of things, and when the time comes, the machine of Xichuan needs to be fully operational, and the army must be expanded first, and this matter will be handed over to Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, and you will expand the army by two to three times on the basis of the current army." ”

"Yes." Zhang Ren and Yan Yan replied loudly.

Liu Zhang nodded, continued: "The expansion of the army is a trivial matter, the important thing is the issue of grain and grass, Xichuan is peaceful and economically developed, but once it falls into the war, the consumption of money and grain is bound to be huge, and it is necessary to revitalize agriculture and mulberry, but the effect is too slow, and the effect is not great, I mean to revitalize commerce, at present, Chengdu's commerce has been very developed, I think that the trade of conventional goods such as silk, tea, grains, and cloth alone can no longer make Chengdu's economy develop rapidly, and new areas must be explored." ”

Huang Quan frowned and said: "My lord, although since Emperor Xiaowen and Chao Cuo put forward the Guisu policy, the status of merchants has been greatly improved, but the landlords and gentry still take land as the foundation, despise business, and the silver money earned from grain and cloth is basically used to purchase land, and it is unlikely that they will open up any commercial fields." ”

Liu Zhang nodded and said: "Gongheng is reasonable, so this matter must be officially taken by the official, and the money from the pastoral government must be used to purchase the official business, Wang Fu, you go back and try, such as our famous Shu brocade in Bashu, see if some people can select materials, some people follow silk, some people weave, some people embroider, some people are responsible for sales, and then gather them together to form a handmade assembly line workshop." ”

"Assembly line workshop?" Wang Fu was stunned.

"You don't have to worry about the name, you just need to understand the meaning."

"Yes." Wang Fu replied, he could barely understand what Liu Zhang meant, but he was not thorough, so he could only go back and think slowly.

Liu Zhang continued: "But it is not enough to rely on the pastoral government, we must mobilize the wealthy family, the wealthy family takes the land as the foundation, and despises business, I have two measures, I will let them take out the money to engage in business." ”

"What measures?" Several people asked curiously.

Liu Zhang smiled slightly: "First of all, Yizhou implements an average price system, each county has a government-run bank, and Chengdu has a central bank, and the bank assesses prices in the middle and month of each quarter, and calculates the prices of the main necessities of life, oil, rice, cloth, and meat, which is called parity.

If the necessities such as grains and cloth are unsalable, they are purchased by the bank at parity, and if the people have no money for sacrifices or funerals, they can borrow interest-free from the bank, but they need to be repaid within a time limit, and loans can also be taken out for production and operation, and the annual interest is assessed by the bank, and the private lending is strictly restricted, and the interest exceeds three times that of the bank, which is not only illegal, but also the source of bank funds is allocated by the pastoral government, and private deposits can also be accepted......

"Wait, lord." Fa Zheng listened and listened, suddenly interrupted, frowned, and said, "How can I listen that this is not like revitalizing commerce, but suppressing commerce?" ”

The others nodded their heads as well.
