Chapter 56: Take-off (1)
Liu Ba, the beginning of the word, is a native of Lingling. Please use the pinyin domain name of this site to visit us. Grandfather Liu Yao, Cangwu Taishou. Father Liu Xiang, Jiangxia Taishou, 'Dang' Kou General. Liu Ba was very talented when he was young and was famous far and wide. Liu Biao asked Liu Ba to come out many times, but Liu Ba refused. Later, Liu Bei also went to woo him, and Liu Ba left Jingzhou under the pretext of traveling the world and went to Youzhou.
Liu Ba said to Li Hui: The lord has a foothold in Youzhou, and now the practice is complete, if you want to go further, you need to improve a lot!
Li Hui bowed: Mr. Forget to teach me!
Liu Ba smiled: I didn't expect the lord to have this measure at a young age, much stronger than that Liu Bei, I have been in Youzhou for three months, I have walked through many counties, the people are happy everywhere, the officials use their lives, why are the people completely unmotivated when they work?
In fact, I also know this, but I can't figure it out, and I also asked Brother Zhao about them, because the people are tired all year round and have become accustomed to it, so they have no energy! Li Hui explained.
Wrong! Big mistake, big mistake! Liu Ba put on a face: The soldiers of the Youzhou Army, when they kill the enemy, they are brave and not as good as life and death, compared to the people farming, this is a matter of life, why didn't they carry it?
Li Hui didn't understand.
Liu Badao: I once remembered that the lord and the general Huangfu Song had a judgment that everyone in the world pursued fame and fortune, some for fame and some for profit, so the lord suggested that the soldiers should be divided into spoils.
Li Hui nodded: I know this, what does this have to do with the people?
Liu Badao: Didn't the lord think of implementing this method of sharing among the people?
Li Hui immediately used his brain, thought for a long time, and slapped the table: Sir, let the people only 'hand' a certain amount to the government after harvesting every year, and give the rest to them?
Liu Ba smiled: The lord really has some skills, hehehe, not only those farmers who farm the land, but also merchants, herdsmen, and even those who produce weapons workshops, and so on can be applied to all occasions, just change some methods slightly, so that they naturally work hard, the more they produce, the more they stay, I guarantee that in less than three years, Youzhou will become the richest state in the world!
Li Hui nodded: This is indeed a good idea, fighting a war is the consumption of materials, and if you have something, I am not afraid of anyone who will fight me!
Liu Ba said: Another point, although Youzhou is vast but sparsely populated, the lord can open the northern border, establish a market, and allow the herdsmen from outside the Saiwai to settle in Youzhou, one can exchange our grain for foreign war horses, and after a long time, we will control the lifeblood of the foreign race economically, which is not much better than war!
And also! Liu Ba continued: Vigorously expand the caravan in Mi Changshi's hands, purchase salt and iron from all over the world, and hoard a lot of materials so tight that they must be hoarded to prevent the princes from jointly attacking, and also expand the cultivation of Youzhou soldiers, so that they can go out at any time!
Li Hui thought carefully about Liu Ba's words, nodded his head constantly, and after a long time: Mr. is a good policy, it seems that there is something wrong?
Oh? Liu Ba smiled and asked: What's wrong?
Li Hui said: Mr. also I know that Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and a large number of people are needed to accomplish this, and without people, it is unlikely that only the army will be expanded!
Hahaha\\ Liu Bahaha laughed: The lord is as careful as a hair! Got to the point right at once.
Is there a good plan for you, sir? Li Hui hurriedly asked.
Liu Badao: One word, rob!
Rob! Li Hui was puzzled: The princes have a common problem in the war, the prisoners obtained, leaving the 'fine' strong, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, or killing or burying, in short, can not 'waste' their own food, attack the towns, burn and loot, and even slaughter the city, so that many of my big Han people died unexpectedly, some people, before the 'chaos' of the Yellow Turban, there were 50 million people in the world, and now it is less than 30 million, a small Yellow Turban 'chaos' is 20 million people died, doesn't the lord feel heartache?
Li Hui said: When I followed General Huangfu to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, I didn't catch any prisoners, and all of them were killed, sir, I understand!
Liu Badao: Since he killed, why didn't the lord include these people under his command, the old, weak, sick and disabled may be useless, but it should be okay to have children and daughters! In another ten years, Youzhou is another scene, those people don't need it, the grace of saving lives should be a big report, less than ten years, my Youzhou population of more than 10 million is not a problem, with a million, wave the army to the south, who else can be the edge!
Li Hui immediately bowed to the ground: Mr. Great grace, Li Hui will never forget it, thank you, sir!
After all the Youzhou officials arrived, Li Huizheng introduced Liu Ba to everyone, and named Liu Ba as the East Cao Rafter of the General's Mansion, and appointed Xu Shu as the left army division, and led the army with Jia Xu!
After settling the two of them in their official positions, Li Hui asked everyone to sit down and said: Mr. Liu, Daxian, I Li Hui don't know which life I have cultivated blessings, and I have to meet Mr. Liu, which is really a blessing for three lives!
Don't dare, don't dare! Liu Ba said modestly.
Sir, don't have to be modest! Li Hui looked at the crowd: Last night, Mr. Liu and I had a long talk all night, some suggestions, I will discuss and discuss with you today, the first point is to send people to visit the various princes, buy those prisoners from them, or snatch them, in short, no matter what method is used, just 'get' it!
Second brother, I'm afraid this thing is not easy to do! Xu Shu said: If we come forward, the princes will definitely be vigilant, and I am afraid that it will cause trouble after a long time!
Guo Jia smiled: I think this matter is the most appropriate to 'hand' over to Mi Fang?
Li Hui was stunned: Don't you ask me why these prisoners?
Zhao Yan smiled: My Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, do you still need to ask?
Oh! Hehehe, so you already knew? Li Hui smiled awkwardly: Brother Mi Fang, can you?
Mi Fang slapped her 'chest': \u201 Fighting, I can't compare to last Tuesday, I can't play with my heart and eyes but Feng Xiao, do this kind of business, I think no one is more suitable than me, right? Even if it's my eldest brother, he doesn't necessarily have my own way!
The crowd laughed. Mi Fang said again: By the way, let me ask, is it only us Han? Or does it matter who it is?
Mi Zhu said angrily: Tell me nothing, don't sit down quickly!
Li Hui waved his hand: Brother Mi is not like this, Brother Mi Fang, listen well, no matter who you are, no matter what kind of person you are, just a living person, all of them, the more the merrier!
Come on! Mi Fang sat down and said: Then you can prepare enough food! In less than three years, I am afraid that this Youzhou will not be able to stand!
Liu Ba smiled slightly: General Mi Fang's words are good, but he dares to make a military order! Mi Fang was stunned immediately!
