The phrase "young general" made Ma Chao's face couldn't help but show a little joy, but he quickly suppressed all the joy.

just shouted at Liu Xie.

"Ma Chao, thank you for your praise!"

is neither humble nor arrogant, quite a bit of a young man.

However, Liu Xie knew that this guy had already quietly cleaned up the people of Wudu Yinping, and he really didn't think it was a problem....

In this way, Ma Chao can become a tiger who makes Qiang Yi obedient, fierce and righteous, believes in the northern soil, and is mighty and famous.

Liu Xie was not indifferent to Ma Chao's appointment, and after praising him, he gave him the official position of lieutenant and asked him to select soldiers in the army as his subordinates.

Then let Ma Chao serve as one of the pro-generals of the forbidden army beside him.

Of course, this kind of official position and appointment is not attractive to Ma Chao, but Liu Xie gave Ma Chao a very good treatment.

That is to let Zhang Fei also serve as one of his own forbidden army generals at the same time, the official tiger guard general.

Ma Chao was very interested in this matter, because he himself had been a well-known person in Yongliang, and the one named Yan Xing almost killed him.

This is his biggest shame, and Yan Xing suffered a big loss at the hands of Zhang Fei, so Ma Chao is very interested in Zhang Fei...

After barely stabilizing Ma Chao's emotions, Liu Xie knew that it would take a long time for Ma Chao to trust himself completely and obey his orders.

It also takes a long process.

But at least it's a good start...

In addition to handling Ma Chao's appointment, the next step for Liu Xie is to continue to stabilize the current situation and expand the fruits of his victory.

"De Jong, how are my people doing now?"

Half an hour after Ma Chao left, Liu Xie saw Chang'an Ling Zhang Ji, who was now in charge of Chang'an's government affairs, again, and his eyes became hot.

"Your Majesty, now the people of Chang'an have returned to normal life.

The previous thieves have now been divided and filled into the people of the city, and the good ones are the people of Chang'an, who continue to cultivate the fields.

Those who have bad intentions are punished and punished for forced labor, and hundreds of thousands of people have been digested by my Han at this time.

By the end of next year at the latest, we will be able to slowly bring this Jingzhao County back to life. ”

Zhang Ji's words made Liu Xie also nod slightly, after having these people, he could finally make his tuntian smoother.

Of course, with the people, there will be a population, and with the population, more land can be cultivated, more soldiers and horses can be recruited, and more land can be used to produce more grain.

And then provide him with quartermasters, baggage, etc. ...

After that, he can conquer Yongliang, form cavalry, make a name for himself, and reorganize the rivers and mountains...

These words had already appeared in Liu Xie's mind, but before his fantasy was over, Zhang Ji broke it for him.

"Your Majesty, there is no shortage of our population now, but if we want to quickly turn these populations into our strength, we need another thing!"

"What?"

"Money!" Zhang knew Liu Xie's ambitions, so he also unceremoniously broke Liu Xie's illusions, "If Your Majesty wants to reorganize the rivers and mountains, it is not as simple as two lives and two lives and three lives."

Nowadays, repairing the city is just a simple cleanup, so it can still be supported.

However, if it is really necessary to repair and strengthen the city, clean up and widen the river in the future, and repair the roads between the counties.

If this is only dependent on conscription, it will certainly make the people feel to flee again.

Your Majesty can't do the things of a tyrant, and run away and kill a pair, that's not the way to stay for long.

After all, the soldiers I will wait for in the future will also be selected from among them.

It doesn't matter if you kill one, you kill too much... Could it be that the soldiers in the hands of His Majesty should be able to kill their fleeing relatives?

This is the way to evil!

If you want to make the future conscription really for Your Majesty's use, and repair the Sanqin and even Yongliang land, then the matter of this tuntian must be slowed down, the people must repair the school, and the conscription must give money and food to help, etc...

In short, money is needed! ”

After Zhang finished speaking, he also took Liu Xie to settle an account.

Liu Xie once casually said that he would open a school so that everyone could have books to read, and even compile "teaching materials" himself.

Liu Xie needs to come up with real money, and Chang'an just needs an astronomical amount.

A few simple payouts!

"Did Your Majesty build a school for the benefit of the people or for the persecution of the people?"

"Nature is for the benefit of the people!"

"Isn't the great revival of education so that the people will starve all over the wilderness?"

"Of course not!"

"Then the people have come here to study, how can they go and cultivate well..."

"Nighttime, of course!"

"The people worked in the fields every day, and at night they had to be sent to the school by swords and soldiers around their necks."

"Let them volunteer, of course!"

"Your Majesty, last night the minister asked Your Majesty to be diligent in political affairs for another half an hour, and Your Majesty also felt too tired..."

Black-red, black-red.

Why is this still revealing the truth...

"Your Majesty needs to let the people know that what they have learned is vital and what they need, and that it needs to give them visible benefits.

What are the visible benefits?

People who can't read big characters understand how to write their names, and that's a plus!

But if they were allowed to study many texts, would it be beneficial for their cultivation? ”

"It's... But my new textbook..."

"The so-called... Well... Although the teaching materials are very good, whether it is about arithmetic or about the principles between heaven and earth, they are of great use to the ministers.

Although the minister did not know where these things came from and whether they were the real truth.

But... There's a question that I haven't been able to figure out. ”

"De Jong, please!"

"After learning this, Your Majesty may make the people increase their production by as many times as many times every year?"

"This..."

"Fifty percent?"

"Hmm..."

"Three points more?"

"Ahh

"What's the use of that?"

"That's the truth!"

"What does it have to do with them?" Zhang Ji couldn't help but laugh, "Many things in this world are right, doesn't Your Majesty know that it is right to be diligent in government affairs and stay away from traitors?"

Don't the princes and bandits of the world know that it is right to strike the army and return to the court, and the world to return to peace from the new?

Don't the people know that it is right to learn to hyphenate characters and read etiquette?

There are too many right things in the world, but not everyone is willing to do the right thing.

Your Majesty is so, your ministers are so... This is true of all the people of the world.

They have flesh and blood, hearts and livers, and it's not for me to change what they already have.

Why do wealthy families study? The minister was also a son of a wealthy family back then, and the minister's family fell in the middle of the road back then, and there was almost no place to live.

At that time, the minister understood that it was good to study, but he was helpless, because the minister had to live!

If it weren't for the help of the Duke of You, the minister was exempted from this most basic survival pain when he was young, so the minister could continue to practice and have this achievement.

But can the people?

Your Majesty, if you want them to study with peace of mind, then the only way is for them not to worry about money and food.

Your Majesty intends to provide for all the people under his rule from now on?

I am afraid that the food in His Majesty's treasury is less than half a month's supply. ”

“.....”

"And this grain is acceptable, but what about this cloth? The lives of the people are not just a bite to eat. Your Majesty, I haven't planted a single mulberry tree now.

and all the people under his rule will be clothed.

The people are now bartering, and this needs money to be smoothed out and solved.

Besides, when it comes to this school, does Your Majesty need to copy it for us, do you need to be taught by a gentleman, or do you need to build a school and requisition land for construction?

You can't just just look for an abandoned mansion and then a school.

If the imperial court does this, then does Your Majesty think that the people under his rule will really think that this thing is so important? Will you learn it by heart? ”

“.....”

"Besides, when it comes to this recruitment, the people should be fed when they enlist in the army, and we still need to give them food and wages, should we give them grain or cloth or copper money?

What does this post-battle reward need?

Is it possible to solve it all with food?

If this is the case, the consumption of this grain is far greater than the development of our cultivation in the fields, and... Later, when the people began to have peddlers again.

The most basic price of food is the life of the people.

This is the way to the end of the legacy! ”

Liu Xie didn't want to talk to him anymore, he felt that he was no longer a simple idealist.

He was simply crossed over and struck.

In addition, there are internal and external exchanges, buying war horses, recruiting displaced people... Money and grain and money and grain, since ancient times, money and grain have not been separated.

This food is okay, but this money is. Liu Xie is going to choose something from the harem and sell it.

"Hey..."Liu Xie sighed and sent out this important strategist and minister under his command, the young handsome Zhang Ji.

Then he returned to his place in some solitude, and looked at the scroll of paperwork in front of him, and he felt tired for the first time.

Maybe there were too many things during this time, and the nervous mood suddenly relaxed, making him too lazy, and he didn't want to deal with any government affairs, but more just wanted to rest... Rest...

Now that I have been persuaded by Zhang Ji like this, although I suddenly understand a lot, I am still very reluctant to deal with government affairs.

"No way!" Liu Xie slapped the table and felt that he could never be like this anymore, "If you fall into government affairs like this again, you will definitely make the important ministers under my command disappointed in me."

They are all people of my humerus, and they must not be allowed to find out about such a thing.

I... There must be a reasonable reason to pass the buck to others who are reasonable in government affairs! ”

After Liu Xie figured this out, he immediately gave another order.

"Someone, invite General Elfang!"
