Liu Xun was writing on the side, Wang Lei and Fa were drinking tea in the hall, Liu Zhang changed into regular clothes and came out, seeing Fa Zheng and Wang Lei discussing something, looking at himself as if he had something to say, he asked while tying his belt: "What are you talking about sneaky, can't you see people?" ”

Fa Zheng stood up and looked at Liu Xun and said in Liu Zhang's ear: "The hall is empty after four years, and the hall should be in the right place." ”

"What's the hurry?" Liu Zhang said disappreciatively, sat on the mat and picked up a roll of bamboo slips.

Fa Zheng sat next to him and said, "Wang and I are tired of worrying, Gongzi is still young, if Gongzi grows up, I am afraid that this matter will increase a lot of variables." ”

Liu Zhang's eyes moved away from the bamboo slips, looked at Fa Zheng, and was about to say, "What does Lao Tzu have to do with his son marrying a wife", he suddenly thought that something was wrong, when Liu Xun grew up, he would marry a wife and have children, which would threaten his status, not to mention that the child lost his mother again, and he may not have a good impression of his stepmother, and there are indeed variables.

Fa Zheng moved his ass to Liu Zhang and said: "Lord, there is another benefit to this matter, what the lord did in Jiangzhou made people everywhere panic, if the lord took the daughter of the Hao clan as his wife at this time, it would help stabilize people's hearts." ”

Liu Zhang glanced at Fa Zheng, and said in a particularly angry manner: "I said can you think of something reliable, this official will not use his marriage as a political bargaining chip, you have time to think about this, it is better to think about how to solve the dilemma in front of us first." ”

At this time, Wang Lei also came over, Liu Zhang threw away the bamboo slip and said: "As far as we Xichuan are concerned, now there is a foreign enemy Zhang Lu, Hanzhong must be conquered, but before the conquest of Hanzhong, we have to solve three things first, the first is to appease the Hao family, it is not a matter for people to be so panicked, Fa Zheng, don't look at me like this, I will not sell my body for this, followed by the four imperial examinations, since we have decided to do it, we must not be anticlimactic and make people laugh, this is a century-old plan related to the prosperity of our Yizhou."

The last is to develop the economy, of course, we don't need to spend any money in Xichuan, raise a 100,000 army, the warehouse has a lot of money and grain, but if you want to go out of Sichuan, it will be different, the army will at least double the expansion, and millions of money and grain will be consumed every year, but now Yizhou is developed around Chengdu, west of Chengdu, east of Shu, and south of Shu, all of which can only be self-sufficient, which is simply not enough to support the army.

I'm going to die of worry, you two still have time to ponder the continuation for me, and take the time to think about these imminent issues, okay? ”

"What's your idea?" Wang Lei asked.

"I'll talk about it in the evening."

Liu Zhang saw that the time was about the same, and stood up from the seat, at this time Liu Xun raised his head and shouted: "Daddy is going out again, can you take me?" Liu Xun looked at Liu Zhang expectantly.

Liu Zhang sighed, walked over and touched his little face: "Xun'er, Daddy will be back soon." ”

In the evening, important officials in Yizhou arrived one after another, and many of the expeditionary civil and military officers did not even return home, and hurried over after handing over their duties, without even eating.

Huang Quan and Zhang Ren are the first, Yan Yan and Wang Fu are second, Liu Zhang is sitting on the main seat, Fa Zheng and Wang Lei are sitting next to Liu Zhang, seeing that everyone is almost there, Liu Zhang is not polite, and said directly: "Everyone, now that Zhao Wei's chaotic party has been wiped out, and the great disaster in Yizhou has been eliminated, we should also think about what to do next. ”

A group of civil and military officers were silent and did not speak, Wang Fu saw this, and bowed: "My lord, my subordinates think that now the overall situation of Yizhou is preliminary. ”

Zhang Rendao: "My lord, the last general thinks that Wang Xianling's words are very reasonable, but the last general thinks that before the great prosperity of agriculture, we should first eliminate the rice thief Zhang Lu, Hanzhong's Yizhou jurisdiction, was stolen by the rice thief, blocking my Xichuan northward traffic, should be eliminated first, if it is connected with Sanfu, and there are thousands of miles of fertile fields in Hanzhong, it will definitely help us accumulate strength." ”

After Zhang Ren finished speaking, Huang Quan said in a deep voice: "Lord, Huang Quan thinks that everything else can not be in a hurry, and the most important thing is to stabilize the interior, the lord said that the great trouble in Yizhou has been eliminated, and Huang Quan can not agree, the Hao family has always been patient when the court is strong, and when the time comes, they will make trouble, and even rebel, this disaster is far worse than Zhao Wei, please be vigilant." ”

Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Gongheng, I know that you are from the wealthy clan in Langzhong, why do you agree with this official to beware of the wealthy clan?" ”

Huang Quan said righteously: "It is precisely because of the birth of a wealthy family that I dare not be cautious and self-disciplined. ”

"Gongheng Chichen, loyalty and righteousness are commendable, since this is the case......" Liu Zhang tilted his head and thought about it: "Then let's do it, I'll invite the wealthy family in Chengdu to have a meal when I go back......"

"......" The martial arts under the hall looked at each other, shocked and inexplicable, they all remembered the banquet in Jiangzhou, Liu Zhang looked at the expressions of these people and didn't realize it, and Fa Zheng next to him smiled: "You don't have to worry, if the lord really treats the Chengdu Hao clan like the Jiangzhou family, it is estimated that the Funan River will have to be renamed the Blood River." ”

At this time, Liu Zhang also reacted, and shook his head secretly, as the saying goes, indiscriminate rewards and ignorance of gratitude, and everyone is in danger, Liu Zhang was too lenient before, so it caused the clan to be unscrupulous, and now in order to deter the clan, he used a heavy code comparable to the cool officials of the Han Dynasty, and it is inevitable that this group of cronies and civil and military officials think that they are violent, so that they ask for advice, except for a few cronies, no one dares to answer.

Liu Zhang simply avoided this topic, coughed and said: "Huang Quan is right, although Zhao Wei has been extinguished, Yizhou is still in trouble, we should be vigilant against the children of the Hao family, then the official will announce an order, from today on, Huang Quan will go to the general, add Zhang Ren as the general of Yizhou, lead the mighty general, receive all the Dongzhou soldiers under Huang Quan, garrison Fucheng, and defend Chengdu." ”

Liu Zhang gave an order, and there was an uproar in the hall, Huang Quan's face twitched a few times, and he bowed his head and bowed: "My subordinates obey the order, and I will hand over the talisman to General Zhang tomorrow." ”

"Does Lord Huang have any complaints about this official?" Liu Zhang asked with a smile.

Huang Quan bowed and said: "Now the people of the Yizhou clan are suspicious, Huang Quan, as a child of the clan, should avoid suspicion, and his subordinates have no complaints. ”

"Hahaha." Liu Zhang laughed loudly, and said to a group of civil and martial artists: "When you speak in the future, you must not be as hypocritical as Huang Gongheng, you obviously have complaints about this official, but you don't dare to say it clearly, if you all talk like this, won't this official not hear a word of truth in the future?" Huang Quan is the hero of Fucheng's victory, I removed Huang Quan like this, I'm afraid not only Huang Quan, many people have complaints, other meritorious ministers will also be chilled, and the Hao family is even more afraid, shouldn't this Yizhou be in chaos? If that's the case, Wang Lei will be the first to cry blood, and I can't stand it. ”

Liu Zhang said and turned to Wang Lei next to him: "Isn't it?" ”

Wang Lei became cramped all of a sudden, and the other officials in Chengdu heard that Liu Zhang's Jiangzhou beheaded more than 2,000 heads, and they all thought that Liu Zhang had become violent and ruthless, and now after listening to Liu Zhang's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Liu Zhang took a look at the expressions of the civil and military forces, and knew that his goal had been achieved, at least his image had been temporarily improved, and these officials did not need to be cautious in front of him, and then said: "Gong Heng, this official knows that you are a civil and military all-rounder, leading the army on the horse, and ruling the people on the horse, I just want to ask you what you mean now."

If you want to govern the people, I will, as I said before, hand over all your military power to Zhang Ren, and then hand over all the money, grain, and taxes in Yizhou to you, and take charge of all the civil affairs in Yizhou. If you want to lead the army, I will promote you to the general of Zhengxi Zhonglang, and Zhang Ren will be the same general, Gongheng, what do you think? ”;
