The Yellow Turban Rebellion, which swept the world, was vigorous when it came, melted like ice and snow when it went, and was quickly extinguished after it sounded a severe alarm bell for the imperial court.

At the beginning of December, Liu Hong changed the Yuan Zhongping and granted amnesty to the world to show the peace of the world. Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo, who were sentenced to death with a reprieve due to their ineffective supervision, were also released from prison and reinstated.

The disturbances in the court did not spread to Liaodong, which was three thousand miles away.

For hundreds of thousands of people in Liaodong, the grand scene of the new Taishou bringing more than 10,000 people to Xiangping to take office deeply refreshed their three views and shocked everyone present.

Who is the new Taishou?

Why are so many people brought to office?

How rich is the new Taishou's family?!

Early in the morning, the heads of the people who came to greet the new Taishou were full of question marks and exclamation points.

Xiangping County ordered Gongsun Zhao to trot up to catch up, and saluted with a smiling face: "Xiaguan Gongsun Zhao, welcome Lord Taishou." ”

Xiangping County is the seat of Liaodong County, because the predecessor Taishou and the county have not had a successor for half a year, the official affairs of the county are temporarily represented by Sun Zhao, the commander of Xiangping County, and the rest of the affairs are temporarily managed by Gong Cao Liuyi and Duwei Yangyi.

However, Gongsun Zhao can only take care of the affairs of Xiangping County, involving the affairs of other counties, and other county orders do not care about him at all.

Due to the scattered sand in the counties, the surrounding Wuhuan, Xianbei, Fuyu, Goguryeo and other ethnic groups became more and more arrogant, and from time to time they plundered the localities, and the people suffered greatly, the people were uneasy, and the county was restless.

Therefore, Gongsun Zhao is always looking forward to the arrival of the new Taishou soon, leading the army to clean up the surrounding Hu people, and promoting the prestige of my Han family.

When Liu Bei arrived in Xiangping City, it was already approaching the New Year's Pass, and there was a lively scene inside and outside Xiangping City, with dense crowds of people and crowds.

Liu Bei, accompanied by Gongsun Zhao, entered the city, stopped in a wide place in the city, looked around at the countless people, and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing after King Jing of Zhongshan...... Liu Bei Liu Xuande! Today, I am edicted by the Son of Heaven to guard Liaodong, and I only come to Liaodong to do three things, protect the territory, secure the people, and raise my prestige! ”

The voice fell, the surrounding cheers thundered, and the people showed their natural expressions.

It turns out that the new Taishou is a member of the Han family, so it's okay.

The Han clan should have such a style!

The Han clan is reliable!

Just by looking at the fierce men behind this Lord Liu, the people knew that Liaodong County would be able to live in peace from now on!

Liu Bei smiled and continued: "If there are some things that Ben Taishou does not do well or do not do right, I hope that all the squires, all the fathers and elders will not hesitate to give advice and enthusiastically mention it, and I Liu Bei will be happy when I hear it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was excited, and they gathered towards Liu Bei one after another, and even said yes.

"Lord Liu, can you tell me what you plan to do to send troops to suppress Hu?"

"Lord Liu, can you tell me what the black man with nose picks behind you does?"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei's face darkened, and he hurriedly took his fingers out of his nostrils, looking serious.

"Lord Liu, are you married? The little old man has a daughter, who is eighteen years old..."

"Lord Liu, the old man has five daughters, five daughters!"

"Lord Liu, the old man has a son, with fine skin and white and tender ......"

"Lord Liu......"

Quack quack———

More than a hundred mouths came over, spitting stars flew sideways, and washed Liu Bei's face for free.

The enthusiasm of the people made Liu Bei shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Yun Changyi protects me!" "I took my sleeve and put it on my head, and I slipped away quickly.

………

"Hahaha..."

Xiangping Taishou Mansion, lobby.

Gongsun Zhao sat in the third place on the left hand, Liu Yi and Yang Yi sat in the first or two places on the left hand, and all the subordinate officials each held a case and sat on the left in turn.

Liu Bei was in the middle of the main position, constantly wiping his face with his sleeve. Guan Yu, Li Feng and the others sat in a row on the right hand, happily looking at Liu Bei's embarrassed appearance.

In the middle of the lobby, there is a red charcoal brazier, and the table is full of wine and meat dishes.

Everyone feasted and laughed while eating, drinking, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Gongsun Zhao stopped his cup and chopsticks and arched his hand towards Liu Bei: "Envoy, the weather has been cold recently, and the surrounding Hu people have repeatedly violated the border and plundered. ”

Liu Bei said "um", paused in the wine bottle, and looked at Liu Yi and Yang Yi, "Dare to ask the two, how many soldiers and horses are there in the county?" How much is the grain? ”

Liu Yi and Yang Yi glanced at each other, and the former arched his hand and replied: "Lord Hui, there are 3,000 county soldiers, more than 800,000 yuan in money, and 100,000 stones in grain. ”

Hiss~

So poor?!

Liu Bei gasped and looked at Li Feng.

Li Feng shook his head and signaled Liu Bei not to be impatient, there will be money, there will be food, isn't it just money and food, just catch a few gentry.

Don't panic, we have someone down there!

Liu Bei followed Li Feng's gaze and saw the fat man Cui Lian who was eating and drinking, put his mind at ease, smiled and said to Liu Yi and Yang Yi, "Okay, I am tired from the journey today, everyone will rest as soon as we get drunk, and we will discuss the matter of sending troops to fight against Kou another day." ”

The banquet lasted until the evening in the atmosphere of the guests and hosts.

After the banquet, the brothers gathered in Liu Bei's room to continue to discuss important matters.

Liu Bei glanced around at his brothers and sighed: "I didn't expect Liaodong County to be so poor!" There is so little food! There are so few county soldiers! ”

After sighing, Liu Bei picked up a piece of wood, glanced at it, and instructed everyone: "Yun Chang, Zilong, from tomorrow, you should hurry up and train your soldiers and prepare for the expedition." ”

"Ziyi, you hurry up and recruit craftsmen and soldiers, and first form a naval army of 2,000 people and ten 200-zhang long battleships."

"Fourth brother, you take stock of the money and grain in the county, and calculate how much grain and grass you need to go on the expedition."

"Okay, big brother (lord)." Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici nodded and took the order.

Zhang Fei blushed his face and said, "Big brother, what about me?" Don't I have anything to do? ”

"Uh... Yide, together with Cui Lian, the superintendent of posts, you will go to the counties to check taxes and punish corrupt officials. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei was immediately excited, "Okay, big brother, I love to do this job!" I'm sure those dog officials can't taste my old Zhang's whip! ”

Liu Bei glanced over, "Forget it, you still follow the eldest brother to do things, and let Cui Lian handle this matter alone." ”

Zhang Fei suddenly lost his energy again, drooped his head and said, "I know, big brother." ”

Li Feng did not respond, the piece of wood in Liu Bei's hand was originally written by him, and all this incident was actually arranged by him, but it was just announced to the public through the mouth of his eldest brother Liu Bei.

He was thinking about the situation around Liaodong.

At present, the scope of control of the imperial court is only to Liaodong County, but in fact, Liaodong County is not the border county of the Han Dynasty, there is a Xuansu County in the north, and there is a Lelang County in the east. As for Obikata County, it has not yet been established.

However, Lelang County has now lost control, and there are no guards and subordinate officials; Xuanwu County was Taishou Geng Lin after his death, and the administrative area was temporarily under the supervision of Liaodong County.

Therefore, Liaodong County is ostensibly one county, but in fact it is three counties, so there are as many as 780,000 people.

Of course, the population of Liaodong County must now exceed one million. After the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, a large number of people in Qingzhou, Jizhou and other places fled to Liaodong across the sea, and tens of thousands of people traveled back and forth.

What Li Feng considered was that in less than five years, Liu Hong would die, and Dong Zhuo would enter Beijing.

During this period, it was necessary to deeply cultivate internal affairs, sweep away all the Hu, subdue all the one or two million foreigners in the surrounding area, and then move the obedient people to live in Liaodong, Xuansu County, and Lelang County, and start a strong high-pressure assimilation policy; Capture all the disobedient foreigners and work as coolies, digging ditches and fields, building bridges and roads, building houses, and building boats. Strive for five years to double the GDP of Liaodong County by ten times, so that Liaodong County can develop into the richest place in Dahan.

Li Feng even planned the working hours of those coolies, 712!

Work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., every day of the day.

It is estimated that there will be at least 100,000 of these disobedient foreigners. After all, there are thorns in every era, and there are barbarians who are used to being free and loose, and are wild and untamable.

Even if it is calculated according to 100,000 thorns, these 100,000 people have been working day and night for five years......

Then Liaodong County hasn't taken off yet?!

Even if Liu Bei's strength is not enough to sweep the world in five years, there is no need to panic. Because the world is about to divide the era, not only Gongsun Yuan Shao of Youzhou in Jizhou will make a pot of porridge, Cao Cao Tao Qian of Xuzhou will also start working, and millions of yellow scarves in Qingzhou will resurge; and Sun Ce crossed Jiangdong and killed all sides.

That's the population.

By that time, the Liaodong Navy would definitely have reached a scale, and there would be at least dozens of 200-zhang long Lianfang warships. Just sail these big ships across the sea to Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Jiangdong, and constantly collect population... Oh no, we continue to provide humanitarian aid to the war-torn people in the two places, and pick up their whole family, the whole village, the whole township and the whole county, and come to Liaodong to enjoy happiness.

In less than three or five years, you will be able to win.

When I thought of the princes of the world fighting for life and death to grab a state and a county, only to find that there was no one in the jurisdiction...

Li Feng couldn't help but let out a strange laugh.

I'm not just an orange and purple general, but also a god general with a brain!
