"Karasuma's matter is over, but Gonghe, you still have to write a battle report to the imperial court, and ask for an official position for your brothers, that's what I promised you. Exempt from being a lieutenant now, go out and lose face. Liu Yao said jokingly.

"Thank you, Lord!!" Everyone thanked in unison.

"No, but the lord, shouldn't you send some loot over, so as to announce your strength to the world, I believe that in this way, there will be more talented people to recommend themselves to the lord." Frustrated after a moment's thought, he said.

"Huh?" Liu Yao thought about it for a while and said, "Then send my father 5,000 high-grade Dawan horses, 8,000 gold, and 30,000 cattle and sheep." And the precious treasures that I stole from Karasuma and send them. Although Liu Hong is different from Liu Hong in Liu Yao's previous life, he is greedy for money and likes treasures, but he has not changed much.

"No."

"Gao Shun, I won't go to Luoyang this time, you can send the battle report and loot over on my behalf." Liu Yao thought about it and didn't go to Luoyang in person, after all, there are still many problems in Youzhou that have not been solved.

"No."

"Now let's talk about the next issue of the development of our Youzhou, what do you think?" Liu Yao asked.

"My lord, my old Zhang thinks that we have too few soldiers and horses in Youzhou, and Karasuma will send more people than our army, how can this work." Zhang Fei was the first to jump out and said.

However, this time, Tian Feng did not reprimand him for his rudeness, but nodded in agreement, "My lord, what Yide said is good. Our army in Youzhou is too small. It was in this big battle with Karasuma that it was seen. We are more than successful, but not enterprising. If the lord wants to restore the Han family in the future, it is impossible to nest in a corner of Youyouzhou. Therefore, I also propose to expand the army. ”

"This, lord, after all, we have not received orders from the imperial court, and expanding the army without authorization will be considered a rebellion, even if you are the eldest prince, then it cannot be avoided." Huang Zhong said with some hesitation. He originally served as a lieutenant in Jingzhou, so he knew more about the army. Expanding the army without an order from the imperial court would be regarded as a rebellion.

Liu Yao shook his head, "It's okay, when I came to Youzhou, my father had already handed over all the rights to me, not to mention that I had the Chixiao Sword, and others would never find an excuse to impeach me." ”

Huang Zhong stopped talking when he heard this.

Liu Yao looked at Fu Zhu, "Gonghe, so how many new soldiers and horses should we recruit this time?" ”

Fu Zhu thought about it for a while and said, "Lord Qi, the tax in our Youzhou is fifteen taxes and one, which can be regarded as low in the Han states. Therefore, Youzhou is not rich in the first place. In addition, the population of Youzhou is relatively small. Therefore, I think it is appropriate to recruit 60,000 soldiers and horses this time. ”

"Is that 100,000?" Liu Yao muttered, "No, 100,000 soldiers and horses are already good, but it's still not enough, I hope to have at least 150,000 soldiers and horses in Zhou." ”

Frustrated, he suddenly became anxious, "How can this be, the financial resources and population of Youzhou are not enough to support so many soldiers and horses." ”

"It doesn't matter." Liu Yao waved his hand to stop Fu Zhu, "The population is not enough, from now on, we will go all out to absorb the displaced people, after all, the population is the most critical." As for money and food, there is no need to worry. With the support of Huoyun Trading House under my command. and in my name let my father exempt Youzhou from taxes for ten years. I don't know if that's enough. ”

"Well, if Youzhou doesn't pay taxes every year, then let alone 150,000, it's 200,000, and 250,000 is more than enough." ”

"Okay, so how do you distribute the troops?" Liu Yao asked.

Fu Zhu shook his head and said, "I'm better at internal affairs, but in the military, I'd better ask Yuan Hao." ”

Liu Yao then looked at Tian Feng. "Lord Qi, Feng believes that cavalry is the king in the Central Plains. And this time we have harvested so many horses that we can form and twenty-three battalions of sixty-nine thousand light cavalry. Twenty-seven battalions of eighty-one thousand infantry remained. The most elite 1,000-trap camp under General Gao Shun outside the last establishment. and the 3,000 guards under your command, my lord. ”

Liu Yao thought about it and said, "Okay, just do what you said Yuan Hao." Begin to recruit troops in various places, and the salary can be higher than in other places. But the age must be between eighteen and thirty years old. I want the most elite soldiers. Instead of coming to the barracks to eat the moths waiting to die. ”

"No."

After solving the matter of the development of Youzhou, everyone continued to drink again. Until the unconscious drunk at the end.

The next day, Liu Yao sent Gao Shun and his trapped camp to escort the spoils of Shanggong and set off towards Luoyang.

Luoyang, Liu Yao has been away from Luoyang for more than half a year. Luoyang, on the other hand, has not changed much. Liu Yao's father, Liu Hong, continues to disguise himself as the greedy emperor these days, guiding the small fights between the eunuchs and the big families all day long.

On this day, a person and a rider appeared on the bustling and lively streets of Luoyang. "Youzhou Urgent Report ......" Everyone got out of the way one after another, looking at the cavalry dissatisfied. But this scene reminds people of the emergency report half a year ago. Everyone speculated whether something happened to the Karasuma people or if it was Youzhou defeated. After all, in their hearts, there is only this for the battle report in Youzhou.

The cavalry's battle report and gift list were quickly handed over to Liu Hong by Xiaohuangmen.

Liu Hong held the battle report in his hand and didn't open it for a long time, then turned his head to look at Zhang Rang, "Father, do you say that the emperor is good news or bad news this time." ”

"This ...... His Royal Highness the Great Prince is a genius in the sky, I think it must be good news. Zhang Rang said with some uncertainty.

Liu Hong closed the battle report again and sighed. handed the battle report to Zhang Rang, "Let my father, you should read it to me." ”

"No." Zhang Rang opened the battle report and read it for a while, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

Liu Hong saw Zhang Rang's expression and knew that it was a good thing, so he snatched the battle report and read it carefully.

"Good, good, good. He is worthy of being my emperor!! Liu Hong's excited heart couldn't be calmed down for a long time. Over the years, the big man has been suppressed by Karasuma so much, but he has no power to fight back. And this time Liu Yao defeated Karasuma, which not only gave Liu Hong a sigh of relief, but also earned a lot of light on his face. "Let the father, pass on my order, and gather all the officials to the court."

"No."

It didn't take long for all the officials of Dahan to arrive. And Liu Hong sat directly above.

Liu Hong looked at the people below and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Youzhou has come to the good news and defeated Karasuma, which Aiqing is willing to read it to everyone for me?" ”

The officials below were shocked when they heard the good news. I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the famous Great Prince could actually defeat Karasuma, which has been a problem for the Great Han for decades. Look at me, look at you, and no one will answer.

Liu Hong looked at the so-called pillars of talent below, smiled disdainfully, and then looked at Yuan Feng with a sneer, "Yuan Aiqing, didn't you deny my emperor's ability last time and disagree with him as the pastor of Youzhou, why don't you let you read it to everyone?" After speaking, he handed over the battle report to Zhang Rang and asked him to send it to Yuan Feng.

Slap in the face, this is Chi Guoguo's slap in the face. Yuan Feng's face turned red with shame at Liu Hong's words. But the emperor's order could not be violated, and he reluctantly took over the battle report. Yuan Fengxian looked at it for a while, and was immediately stunned, his face full of shock.

Liu Hong looked at Yuan Feng's expression, and couldn't help but feel good, "Yuan Aiqing, you read it." ”

"No." Yuan Fengqiang endured his shame and slowly began to read it out.
