The surrender ceremony ended quickly in a group of harmony, Liu Zhang's sincerity and fear, and Liu Ze's open-mindedness and generosity left a deep impression on people. Liu Ze and Liu Zhang entered the city amid the welcome of the people of Chengdu, while Zhao Yun led his troops to quickly enter Chengdu and take over the defense of Chengdu from the Sichuan army.

All the qiē was carried out in an orderly manner, and Chengdu completed the change of hands in the voice of peace. Although Li Hui brought back the news that the original officials were all retained after King Jing entered the city, everyone was still uneasy before it was implemented. After all, Liu Ze has implemented laws and regulations against the scholars in Xuzhou and Jingzhou, and suppressed the wealthy lords, and at present, the officials of all sizes in Sichuan are inextricably linked with the wealthy families in Sichuan, some of them are from wealthy families, and some are attached to wealthy families.

Liu Ze entered the Yizhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, ascended to the hall and sat down, all the officials in Shuzhong came to visit together, Dong He, Pang Yi, Qin Mi, Li Hui, Yang Hong, Zhou Qun, Xu Jing and others were among them, only Huang Quan and Liu Ba were missing, Liu Ze asked, and knew that the two were closed. Some people were angry and mentioned that Liu Ze arrested the two and punished them, and some people even reported that the reason why Liu Zhang dared to resist King Jing's order and disobeyed it was completely because of the bewitchment of the two, and the crimes of these two people were unforgivable.

Liu Ze smiled and said, "The matter of being loyal to the king is the responsibility of the duty, what is the crime?" If the order goes down, if it harms these two people, it will be severely punished by military law! Then Liu Ze came to the door in person, and Huang Quan and Liu Ba felt their kindness and went out.

Zhuge Liang built a mountain that could not tolerate two tigers and a country that did not allow two masters, so Liu Zhang could be arranged to go to Jingzhou. Liu Ze listened to Zhuge Liang's construction. Liu Zhang was returned to Wuchang, given a mansion, and properly settled, as for the titles of General Liu Zhang Zhenwei and the Marquis of Yangcheng, they should be retained, and there is no shortage of monthly supplies. Liu Cong, the former pastor of Jingzhou and the Marquis of Chengwu, was initially moved to Xiapi, and later abandoned Xuzhou. moved back to Wuchang, this time as neighbors with Liu Zhang.

Liu Ze did what he said, and all the officials in Shu were retained, except for a few positions that were moderately fine-tuned, they generally remained unchanged, Xu Jing was still the Taishou of Shu County, Dong He was the Taishou of Guanghan, Qin Mi was the Taishou of Ba County, and Yang Hong was the Taishou of Jian. The reorganization of the Sichuan Army is also being carried out simultaneously. Yan Yan was temporarily awarded the rank of deputy general, Huang Quan, Liu Ba, Li Yan, Wu Yi, and Meng Da were given the rank of partial general, and Leng Bao, Deng Xian, Zhang Yi and others were all given the rank of general.

Due to years of war in Shuzhong, the people's livelihood has withered, all industries have been decadent, the price of rice has soared, and the people are not happy. Even the salaries of officials and the salaries of soldiers are often deducted. In front of Liu Ze is a mess of an empty treasury, and after Liu Ze takes charge of Yizhou, the first thing to solve is the problem of the national economy and people's livelihood.

Liu Zhang is weak by nature, not only does he have no military talent, but he is also a mess in governing internal affairs. After years of war, a large amount of land was abandoned, many people fled, and there was no source of taxes, relying only on the accumulation of government treasury in previous years. Sitting on the empty mountain, the officials' salaries are in arrears, who can still work wholeheartedly, the soldiers' salaries are deducted, and who is willing to come to work hard, this battle has already been lost without beating Liu Zhang.

Those wealthy families in Shu hold the economic lifeline of Yizhou, manipulating the price of rice in Yizhou's grain market, in Chengdu, a piece of rice has skyrocketed to tens of thousands of dollars, often there is still a price without a market, hungry people are everywhere, selling children and daughters, wailing on the road, its situation is unbearable.

To deal with these profiteers and rich people, Liu Ze has his own tricks, there is no need to issue a decree to crack down on hoarding in the strange area, Liu Ze is enough to play them bankrupt, when he was in Xuzhou, several scholars united to prepare to strangle Liu Ze economically, and in the end, it was not Liu Ze who beat them to the ground. What is needed to fight an economic war is strength, and now Liu Ze is no longer Wuxia Ameng, and he holds the territory of several states in his hands, so he is naturally wealthy, even if the wealthy families in Quanyi Prefecture are united, they are not worthy of lifting shoes for him.

In order to stabilize the price of grain, Liu Ze first brought the army's grain to the emergency, a piece of royal order, from Jingzhou to the Yangtze River shipping, and transferred hundreds of thousands of grains, Chengdu's tens of thousands of dollars a rice price plummeted overnight to a thousand dollars and one stone, so that those grain merchants who hoarded the strange area lost all their money, wanted to cry without tears, and they could only endure the pain and cut their flesh.

Some people have proposed that it is easy to stabilize grain prices, but the common people have no money in their hands, not to mention that your grain of 1,000 yuan and 1 stone is as low as 100 yuan and 100 yuan and 100 yuan, and he cannot afford to buy it.

This Liu Ze has his own tricks to deal with, the most developed handicraft industry in Shu is brocade, especially near Chengdu, almost every household has a kind of mulberry silkworm brocade, Shu brocade is famous all over the world. During the Guanghe period, Liu Ze personally made the first pot of gold in Chengdu by selling Shu brocade, and at that time, Shu brocade almost supported the economy of the entire Sichuan. However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the export road of Shu brocade was almost cut off, a large number of unsalable Shu brocade was backlogged, the price fell again and again, and the economy of Shu also collapsed.

Liu Zhang closed himself, naturally did not have the ability to solve this problem, the production of Shu brocade completely fell into a trough or even stagnate, the output of Shu brocade no one cared about, and could not be eaten, the people naturally no longer make silk brocade.

Liu Ze is completely different, the opening of the Maritime Silk Road, the demand for silk, especially high-quality Shu brocade, has increased exponentially, before entering Yizhou, Liu Ze is worried about the source of goods, and now he has laid Yizhou, Liu Ze's eyes must of course aim at the huge Shu brocade market. Liu Ze reinstated the brocade official setup that had existed in Chengdu during the Han Dynasty, encouraged and supported the brocade industry, and purchased Shu brocade at a price twice the market price.

The whole Chengdu is boiling, people are running to tell each other, cheering, there is a long queue at the door of the Jinguan Office, there are those who hold Shu brocade in their arms, some who push Shu brocade with a cart, people's faces are filled with long-lost smiles.

Liu Zeweifu appeared on the streets of Chengdu, accompanied by Zhuge Liang, Pan Feng and others, as well as Huang Quan. Liu Ze deliberately called Huang Quan, although Huang Quan was forced to surrender, but from his attitude, Liu Ze could still see the resistance in his heart, and took him to the street today in order to eliminate his heart knot.

Sure enough, Liu Ze's method worked, Huang Quan saw the people of Chengdu support Liu Ze, deeply shocked, just yesterday, Huang Quan also received Liu Zhangke deducted a year's money, although Huang Quan does not necessarily care about this money, but for those lower-level officials, this is equivalent to life-saving money.

Huang Quan bowed deeply to Liu Ze and said respectfully: "Lord, please forgive the previous disrespectfulness of Quan, for his own selfishness, trapping the people of Yizhou in fire and water. ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly: "The people who are suffering in the world, how can they benefit the state?" I pray that the world will be harmonious and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, but what I ask for, as for fame and fortune, it is like a passing cloud, what benefit do I ask for? ”

Huang Quan was greatly moved, and bowed again: "The lord is really the lord of benevolence, and he is willing to smear his liver and brain to repay the emergency." ”

Liu Ze smiled, picked up Huang Quan with both hands, and said, "Gongheng is also a loyal and upright person, you and I can encourage each other." ”

Just as he was about to turn around, Huang Quan saw a woman in the crowd in line, his heart moved, and he pointed to Liu Zedao: "Lord, that woman is Zhang Ren's wife, the lord doesn't want to accept Zhang Ren, why not fall on this woman?" ”

Liu Ze followed his fingers and saw that Zhang Ren's wife, dressed in Jingchai, was waiting in line with two Shu brocades in her arms, and said strangely: "Zhang Renjiadao, why is it so unbearable?" ”

Huang Quan said: "Zhang Ren was originally from a humble background, and he was honest and honest, and he had an old mother and a young wife at home, and he could only barely support his family with his meager income. Zhang Ren's mother is filial, and if the lord wants to persuade Zhang Ren to surrender, he only needs to put some effort into his mother. ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly and said, "The water is natural, so why be reluctant." (To be continued......)
