Chengdu Liu Bei was welcoming Zhuge Jin, and when he heard the news of Cao Pi's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, his head buzzed, and he beat his chest and cried on the spot, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Song and others cried bitterly no matter what they thought in their hearts

Xiangshi Zhang Yu looked at Liu Bei coldly, Zhou Qun on the side hurriedly pulled him, Zhang Yu looked at Zhou Qun's appearance, covered his face with the sleeves of his robe, pretended to cry, and couldn't help but mock: "The Han Emperor is out of position, and the happiest person is the king of Hanzhong above, what to pretend?" ”

Zhou Qun hurriedly said: "You just shut up, be careful to talk about your life!" ”

Zhang Yu glanced at Zhou Qun and said: "I asked Liu Zhang to invite Liu Bei into Sichuan, I calculated a hexagram, Liu Bei should take Shu land, but he will die after nine years, and he will occupy it next year (213 years)!" ”

After speaking, he covered his face with the sleeves of his robe (in history, Zhang Yu and Liu Bei were amused, and they played a big game to make a feud, Liu Bei finally killed him, and Zhuge Liang's plea was useless).

Liu Bei cried for a long time, Zhuge Jin saw that it was almost over, and stepped forward to persuade him. Zhuge Liang and Zhang Song took the opportunity to persuade together, Liu Bei stopped his tears and said: "I don't know what Your Majesty is like, the Cao family is ruthless, Your Majesty is afraid that there will be more than one luck!" ”

Zhuge Jin said: "The king mourns, Cao Pi said that Emperor Tian shamelessly crowned my lord as king, and also gave me the lord 200 miles of fiefdom. Your Majesty, please see, this is a false edict and a sealed map! ”

Liu Bei pretended to say: "This king's heart is like numbness, he can't deal with himself, Ziyu has the right to rest, and he will discuss something tomorrow!" When Zhuge Jin heard this, he left the edict and map, and withdrew.

As soon as Zhuge Jin left, Liu Bei wiped his face and said: "Cao Pi Xiao'er, he is really bold, he dares to do Wang Mang's things, isn't he afraid of dying and annihilating the clan?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said: "Your Majesty, the Cao family has long been a supreme minister, and its status is only one step away, so it is not surprising.

At present, Cao Pi is the emperor, and there are three troubles. First, the Han Dynasty was severed, the Han Emperor did not know his life and death, and the lord of the Han family was the hope of the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty, and he had to take action.

Second, it is Jiangdong, Brother Liang came, in fact, Sun Quan came to bargain, waiting for the price to sell.

Third, Cao Pi called the emperor, which is equivalent to tearing off the disguise, and it is inevitable that there will be a death fight between the king and Cao Pi. ”

Liu Bei said: "This king is in turmoil, I am afraid that I can't discuss matters today, that Kong Ming and Zhang Song will stay for a while, and the rest of the ministers will retreat first, and come here tomorrow!" The people stood up and said goodbye.

Liu Bei saw that Zhang Yu's face was as usual, and his heart moved: "Zhang Yu and Zhou Qun are waiting in the side hall, you are both good fortune wizards, you will make a hexagram for this king in a while, go and prepare first!" Zhang Yu and Zhou Qun agreed to go.

Everyone withdrew, and Liu Bei continued what he had just said: "Kong Ming, it's inconvenient to have too many people, you give me an account first." The three things just now were solved one by one, let's talk about the battle between me and Cao Pi first.

I can think of this, even if I don't stir up trouble, Cao Pi will come to me, the Han and the thief are not separated, and the fight is who is qualified to rule Kyushu.

God help me, we have planned in Jingzhou in advance, and now Yun Chang has met Shi Yuan and Xiu Yuan (Feng Xizi), and they will send troops to the north in the next few days, they must have known about Cao Pi's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, and will use this matter to expand their influence!

I was thinking that this was a good opportunity, originally Jingzhou sent troops to relieve the pressure on Yizhou, but now it can be changed. Zisong, how many soldiers and horses can be supported by all the remaining money and grain in Yizhou! ”

Zhang Song said with a stiff face: "I'm afraid the king will be disappointed, 10,000 people are at best three months, if you send troops from Hanzhong to attack Guanzhong, the need for a round trip is very tight!" ”

Liu Bei clenched his fists and clapped his hands and said: "This king now regrets that he is in a hurry, the Longyou Fuxing Office is too urgent, plus to comfort Zhuqiang, the money and food are like flowing water, and the good opportunity for change in the world is close at hand, I can't grasp it, Zisong, you see if the heroes of the Shi clan can ......!" ”

Zhang Song looked at Liu Bei and said, "Your Majesty, are they daring to take it out?" When Liu Zhang was there, they might dare, but Liu Zhang was weak and could be bullied.

Who dares now, they take it out, and the king borrows it, but he doesn't dare to ask for it, and he is afraid that the king will see that they have money and food and will target them? ”

Liu Bei scolded: "These rich uncles are unreliable at critical moments. When I have my hands free, I still have to bang and knock them! ”

Zhang Song looked at Liu Bei and said: "Your Majesty, when Liu Ba rushed to Longyou, the minister consulted him about money and grain, and he came up with an idea, whether it can be used, it is extremely bad." ”

Adding his lips, Zhang Song saw Liu Bei staring at him, and continued: "Recast money, use four five-baht coins, melt it and recast a copper coin worth 100 yuan, and a straight 100 coin can be exchanged for twenty-five times the profit."

Set up an official office, set up an official market to buy back military supplies, the official market can only be traded with 100 dollars, of course, the direct 100 dollars are universal, and the people can buy what they need in the official market with him at the same value. ”

Liu Bei said: "It is to plunder the people's wealth and people's food first, and then open an official market to calm down all things!" ”

Zhang Song scratched his face and said embarrassedly: "It's not plundering, let's borrow people's wealth for the time being, so that the borrowed materials can solve the needs of the moment!" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The plan is available, but to master the scale, the official market must be fully rolled out, so that Yizhou has nowhere to trade except the official market."

If the people take 100 dollars to buy the official market to buy what they need, we must be able to take it out, and if we can't get it, we will lose the credibility of the official market, and the scarcity of needs will inevitably lead to soaring prices. ”

Zhang Song nodded and said: "Indeed, first use Zhibai money to sell a large number of materials and hoard, the people are not in a hurry to demand, and when they need to buy back, we will sell them out, and the people will not sell them all at once, there will be surplus."

We used the surplus for emergency, and after this period of time, the new money and grain were collected and circulated, and the price of goods was naturally stable, and the new direct hundred coins were circulated. Now it's up to the king to prepare to fight! ”

Liu Bei said for a long time: "That is to say, you can't fight for too long, and you can't send too many soldiers." Otherwise, it is easy to cause turmoil! ”

Zhuge Liang and Zhang Song arched their hands and said: "The king is wise! ”

Liu Bei smiled dumbly and said: "What, Dong Zhuo has done this, but he is naked looting, and in the end, cannibalism, white bones are accumulated, the world is in chaos, and the lessons from the past are a lesson!" ”

After thinking about it, Liu Bei said: "First allocate 20,000 people for a month of grain and grass to Chenggu's Yide, as soon as Yun Chang moves, he immediately attacks Nanxiang and Fangling along the Han River, and the subsequent grain and grass will be supplied by Jingzhou."

Kong Ming and Zisong, you presided over the establishment of the official city, accumulated valley silk, and discussed the follow-up troops. Order Wei Yan to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to reorganize and stand by, and let's talk about it depending on the situation!

Also, you can't just ask the people to bear it, the nobles have more money and food, and find a way to let them also use the straight hundred dollars to trade! “

Zhang Song said with a smile: "This is easy to do, salt and iron, Shu brocade are all forced to trade with straight 100 yuan, if not, first go to exchange materials for straight 100 yuan, and then go to buy salt and iron, Shu brocade, wood can also be classified as such, these scholars are strong and delicate, and they can stand it without gorgeous Shu brocade!" ”

Liu Bei said: "It's great, but the wood can be sealed, the mountains and forests cannot be sealed, and the people can't be classified as this kind of chopping wood and grass!" ”

Zhuge Liang Zhengse said: "Wang, Zisong, Liang does not recommend involving the Shi clan, once we start a war, they encourage the people to use the Zhi Bai Yuan to buy back too deadly, the people are simple and do not understand the cat, the Shi clan is not easy to fool."

Wang, in recent years, the king's opening of a school to impact the official position has aroused the vigilance of the scholars, and now seek stability, stability, take your time! ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Okay, I can only temporarily put the burden on the people." Kong Ming, wait for the right opportunity to lower the ten taxes and reduce the taxes of the people, what is the matter, hundreds of years ago, thirty taxes and one, but now it is shrinking back more and more! ”

After a pause, Liu Bei said: "Let's talk about Sun Quan, looking at the edict, Sun Quan wants to be the king, and Sun Quan wants to be the king when he sends this map, and he wants to win him over to give him benefits, and Cao Pi gives me 200 miles of land, I can only do more and not less!" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "King Wu of Sun Quan, I am afraid we have to admit that this land is not a request, but a reminder." The edict was intended to win over Sun Quan to join the war.

The 200 miles of land is actually a buffer zone at the junction of Cao Pi and Sun Quan's forces, and there is neither strategic land nor many people. Sun Quan is more like telling us that asking him for help will give him land, of course, it is actually the county of Jingzhou! ”

Liu Bei sneered: "Sun Quan is still thinking about Jingzhou, he doesn't have a long memory, he lost tens of thousands of soldiers last time, and sent an envoy to sue for peace, but now he is arrogant!" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "To borrow the king's evaluation of Sun Quan's words, 'it is difficult to be lower', Sun Quan is also ambitious!" ”

Liu Bei threw aside the map of the edict and said: "Okay, for the time being, recognize his throne, send an envoy to Tonghao, and stabilize Sun Quan, as for the rest, it depends on the situation in the future!" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "It's the king!" ”

After saying this, the three monarchs and ministers were silent, and everyone knew how to do this first one. Zhang Song took the lead in getting up and prostrate and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers boldly ask the king to ascend the throne and continue the Han Dynasty!" ”
