"Of course it's listening-" Zhang Fei subconsciously replied, and instantly reacted again, and said with a smile: "Listen to Mr. Xianmou's tongue battle group Confucian!" Mr. Xianmou is worthy of being a unique eloquent! ”

Zhang Fei's praise made Guan Yu helpless for a while.

What tongue war group Confucianism?

It was obvious that Zhang Fei saw that Zheng Ping was arguing interestingly, and wanted to continue to let Zheng Ping argue with the civil officials in Qingzhou for a while.

As a result, the civil officials in Qingzhou stopped arguing one by one, which made Zhang Fei, who wanted to see the excitement, regretful.

Liu Bei waved his hand and let all the civil and military forces withdraw from the council hall, leaving only Zheng Ping and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Third brother, what are you talking about so happily?" Liu Bei leaned in and asked.

Zhang Fei snorted and changed the topic: "Big brother, do I want to be the Taishou of Donglai County or the Prime Minister of the Plains?" ”

Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei suddenly diverted the topic, and he was also a little stunned for a while: "Do you want to go to Donglai County or Pingyuan Country?" ”

"Let's go to Dongnae-gun!" Zhang Feiyue was eager to try: "I have been watching Guan Cheng unpleasant for a long time, and when I go south to Chen Guo, I still have to rely on Guan Cheng and give Guan Cheng benefits." ”

"This time, I must go to Donglai County to completely convince Guan Cheng."

Zhang Fei snorted, quite unhappy.

The counties and states of Qingzhou, except for Guan Cheng, are obedient to Liu Bei.

It is also believed that there are thousands of soldiers who dare to confront Liu Bei, and dare to negotiate conditions with Liu Bei.

Guan Yu also had murderous aura in his eyes: "A mere water thief, he dares to let the eldest brother be restrained, if he is not killed, how can the people of Donglai County be convinced by the eldest brother?" ”

Liu Bei saw that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both had murderous intentions, and he also had the idea of purging Guan Cheng.

"Obviously, there are warships in this management, and there are small islands inhabited overseas, if you can't kill them with one blow, lest you retaliate and harass the people along the coast." Liu Bei looked at Zheng Ping and asked, "Is there a good way to capture Guan Cheng?" So that the people of Donglai County can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Zheng Ping shook his head: "Kou and Shang are the same people, the general rule of the city is that Kou is turned into business, and the city is forbidden, and the business is turned into Kou." As long as there are enough benefits, it is very difficult to completely get rid of the pirates led by Guan Cheng. ”

"Or rather, there are Haoqiang clans in Donglai County who are in the same group as Guan Cheng."

"If the news leaks, it will make the intrusion of the coastal area even worse."

"Today, there are a large number of our salt mills in various coastal areas, and the damage to the salt mills for the sake of a management contract is more than worth the loss."

Zhang Fei said angrily: "Then can you only watch Guan Cheng go crazy in Donglai County?" ”

Zheng Ping chuckled and shook his fan: "Yide, don't be angry!" There are 5,000 pirates and 200 warships, and before the Qingzhou Navy was formed, we and Guan Cheng were both beneficial and divided. ”

"The salt from this salt mill also needs to be transported to other places to sell in order to make a profit."

"The envoy can discuss with Guan Cheng and appoint Guan Cheng as the only escort fleet of Qingzhou salt merchants in the name of the government."

"We were responsible for collecting taxes on the salt merchants, who in turn offered a relatively fair remuneration to the contractors to escort their ships to Liaodong, Xuzhou and Yangzhou by water."

"Borrow the forces of Guan Cheng to fight the water thief forces outside Qingzhou."

"Anyway, for the Han Dynasty, any water thief is endangering the safety of the people on the Dahan coast, using the power of Guan Cheng to eliminate the coastal pirates, and using the coastal pirates to consume the strength of Guan Cheng, killing two birds with one stone."

"After the envoy calms down the world, Guan Cheng will either flee to another country, or he can only accept the envoy's surrender and officially become the sailor general of the Han Dynasty."

"And the envoy only needs to let the management occupy an important part of the entire interests of Qingzhou Haiyan."

Liu Bei pondered and pondered the feasibility of Zheng Ping's proposal.

But Zhang Fei was quite reluctant: "Then I won't be the Taishou of Donglai County, otherwise I will see Guan Cheng, I'm afraid I can't help but stab him with a spear!" ”

Guan Yu also said: "Guan still wants to go back to the Plains Country. ”

Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't want to go to Donglai County, Liu Bei was a little helpless: "Yun Chang, Yide, don't be rash, you don't go to Donglai County, who is suitable to go?" ”

Zheng Ping said: "Envoy, today is different from the past. Yun Chang and Yide are not suitable to be Taishou or Minister of State, and the civil and military forces of the Ruishi Battalion and the Xiandeng Battalion can no longer be transferred to foreign countries. ”

"Take advantage of this opportunity to train the Ruishi Battalion and the Xiandeng Battalion well."

"Staying in Linzi City is also convenient for mobilization to deal with temporary crises."

"As for the Taishou and the ministers of the counties and states of Qingzhou, they should be promoted from the county orders that have quite a lot of political achievements among the existing officials."

"You can let the county magistrate of Ande County manage praise and serve as the Taishou of Donglai County."

"They are all Qingzhou Guan surnames, these five hundred years ago may still be in the same vein, let Guan Zan go to Donglai County can also make Guan Cheng less vigilant."

Liu Bei nodded.

This Guan Zan is the son of a wealthy family in the Plains Country, and he was also promoted by Chen Ji in the past.

When Zheng Ping conquered the Yellow Turban of the Plains Kingdom, Guan Zan was one of the few who dared to go to the city wall to supervise the battle if he abandoned the city and fled.

Over the past year or so, the performance assessment has also been quite excellent, and the merits and abilities are enough to be promoted to a county guard.

"Since Guan Zan has been promoted to be the Taishou of Donglai County, then Xianhe can also be transferred back." mentioned Jian Yong, Liu Bei was a little helpless: "Xianhe has asked me to resign many times, saying that he is not suitable to be a taishou and just wants to be a lobbyist." ”

"When he saw me last time, he told me privately that I was too partial, and he was quite comfortable with the state pastor's office, but he had to go to Donglai County to be a guard, and he had to dress well all day, otherwise it would be rude."

Although Jian Yong is good at debating and deliberating, his temperament is simple and direct, and he is informal.

In the past, Liu Bei was unavailable, so he asked Jian Yong to be the Taishou of Donglai County.

Now that Liu Bei has a lot of talents, Jian Yong wants to make a stall.

Zheng Ping said with a smile: "With Xianhe's temperament, it is already very good to be able to stay in Donglai County until now." ”

"Qingzhou's bumper harvest this year has made many Qingzhou scholars who went to Liaodong return one after another. Beihai celebrities Bing Yuan, Bing Genju, Liu Zheng and Liu Zishi also returned from Liaodong. ”

"Uncle Yue has a letter, hoping that I can recommend these two to the envoy."

"You can let Bing Yuan try to guard the plain phase, Liu Zheng try to guard the Le'an phase, and transfer Gongyou back to Linzi City, and the Jinan minister will still be served by Zhuge Xuan."

"It's a pity that Brother Ziyu was ordered to be Yuzhang Taishou, with Brother Ziyu's reputation in Qingzhou, it is most suitable to go to Donglai County with Guan Zan."

After careful consideration, Liu Bei agreed to Zheng Ping's proposal.

The counties and states of Qingzhou should focus on cultivation and recuperation, and there is no need for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to be stationed, and there is no need for a talent like Zhang Hong to bother with the cumbersome government affairs of one county and one country.

Gathering all talents in Linzi City will help to unify and coordinate the military and political affairs of the six counties of Qingzhou.

Under Zheng Ping's grand strategy of accumulating grain, Liu Bei began to integrate the resources of Qingzhou and enrich the treasury of the prefecture as much as possible.

Qingzhou had a bumper harvest in the first year, and it has to be maintained in the second and third years.

Taking advantage of the fact that there will be no war in Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Jizhou for the time being, this is the best development opportunity for Qingzhou!

In addition to farming, Qingzhou's salt and iron and some handicraft industries are also gradually recovering their vitality.

The news that Liu Bei was going to build another city west of Guangxian County began to spread to the Haoqiang clan of the six counties of Qingzhou under the intentional guidance of the state governor.

The benefits are moving!

Since Liu Yu has not publicly passed on the jade seal of the country, there have always been rumors in Qingzhou that Liu Bei has secretly hidden the jade seal of the country.

And this misunderstanding made some of the scholars in Qingzhou begin to guess Liu Bei's intentions.

In particular, some of the relatively small Haoqiang clans wanted to gamble on a future, so they responded to the construction of Guanggu City to raise funds.

In the way of purchasing a house title deed in Guanggu City, the money and grain were transported to Guangxian.

But only some of the relatively small powerful families responded, and the real big families in Qingzhou are still waiting.

After all, although Liu Bei won Yuan Shu, there is still a Yuan Shao in Jizhou outside Qingzhou!

In case this money and grain is thrown out, Liu Bei can't win against Yuan Shao, and it will be a big loss.

Regarding the reaction of this group of people, Zheng Ping was not impatient.

It will take at least ten years to build a Guanggu city.

There is no rush in this matter!

Zheng Ping was also not prepared to recruit 100,000 people to build the city at one time.

Even if you spend money to recruit workers, you have to make the people of Li Shu in Qingzhou believe it!

After all, in the cognition of the people of Lishu, forced labor is unpaid, and now you tell them that it is paid?

Who believes!

There has to be a process of transformation.

Zheng Ping can also use the people of Tuntian to build the city, and these people have no right to refute.

But using the people of Tuntian to build the city went against Zheng Ping's original intention of spending money to recruit workers.

Zheng Ping wants to change the society's perception of conscription by building Guanggu City!

Although this process is difficult, as long as there is a precedent and it is successful, then the new concept of spending money to recruit workers will be passed on.

Instead of the government requisitioning the people, they will requisition the people!

Langya country.

After Zheng Ping took Zhuge Liang to worship in the ancestral hall of the Zhuge family, he came to a manor with beautiful mountains and rivers in Langya Kingdom.

There is a father and son living in this manor.

It is Cao Song, the adopted son of Cao Teng, and Cao Song's youngest son Cao De.

"Brother, the foolish brother heard that Cao Zhong has served in the court for more than 30 years and served the four emperors, and he has not been at fault. And he is honest and honest, and he is willing to recommend talents, such as Chen Liuyufang, Bian Shao, Nanyang Yangu, Zhang Wen, Hongnong Zhang Huan, Yingchuan Tangxidian and others, all of whom are ranked as ministers, but Cao Zhongchang's attendants do not boast of their merits. ”

"However, this Cao Song has been an official for many years, but he is greedy for a lot of money, and even his eldest son Cao Cao is unwilling to be with him."

"When we come to him, don't we tarnish our reputation?"

Zhuge Liang didn't understand.

Even if you want to visit Langya country, you are also a virtuous and wealthy family in Langya, how can there be such a reason to visit Cao Song?

Zheng Ping shook his fan and smiled: "Ah Liang, I'm not a Qingliu celebrity like Chen Yuanfang who cherishes feathers, why should I care about these stigmas?" ”

"There is only one purpose for visiting Cao Song: he has money!"

The simple and direct answer made Zhuge Liang a little speechless: "Zi said, rich and can be sought, although the whip is a man, I will do it." If you can't ask for it, do what I like. ”

"Master Zheng taught: A gentleman values virtue, even if he wants to take money, he can't discredit himself."

Zheng Ping turned the feather fan horizontally and knocked Zhuge Liang's head: "How many times have I told you, although my father is good at commenting on scriptures, you must be skeptical of his commentaries at any time, credible but not trustworthy." ”

"Do you think I don't know the meaning of this sentence?"

"Just eight simple words: a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way."

"And my way is to let Cao Song's money be used in the position that is most conducive to the national economy and people's livelihood!"

"Listen more, watch more, talk less!"

Zhuge Liang covered his head depressedly: "Brother, it will be stupid to knock too much." ”

Zheng Ping took back the feather fan: "Beat more, and your understanding of the Analects will be more profound." ”

I'm talking.

Cao De pushed the door out and saluted: "I don't know if Zheng Beijia is coming, I missed the welcome, please forgive me!" My father has already set up a banquet in the inner courtyard, please don't follow me in. ”

The man's name is the shadow of the tree.

If it was just Zheng Ping, Cao Song might not meet him.

However, the name reported by Zheng Ping was "Zheng Ping, the son of Zheng Gong of Beihai", and Cao Song could not be missing.

Visiting in the name of his father, Zheng Ping has already used it perfectly.

People like Cao Song can not give Zheng Xuan face, but they must not give Zheng Xuan face.

"Don't drive Zheng here, the old man is not welcome, please Haihan!"

Cao Song is a very shrewd little old man who looks at him, and he looks at Zheng Ping and Zhuge Liang carefully with a pair of fine eyes.

Zheng Ping's lie came as soon as he opened his mouth: "When I besieged Yuan Shu in Fengqiu City last time, my little nephew had a casual conversation with Brother Linglang Mengde. ”

"Brother Meng De said that the most regrettable thing in the old lady's life is that he couldn't drink with his father, and it happened that the little nephew came to Langya to do business this time, so he came to visit the old lady."

Cao Song was taken aback: "Meng De really said that? ”

Zheng Ping pretended to be surprised: "Could it be that Brother Meng De joked after drinking?" ”

Cao Song couldn't help but secretly scold Cao Cao for being troublesome.

Although Cao Song didn't want to offend Zheng Xuan, he didn't want to drink with Zheng Xuan.

Two people have different hobbies and knowledge, and they still drink freely?

But in front of Zheng Ping, Cao Song couldn't say that he didn't want to drink with Zheng Xuan.

Cao Song, who was depressed in his heart, could only say with a smile: "It's not a joke, it's just that the old man didn't expect Meng De, a rebellious son, to remember these things." ”

Zheng Ping pretended to be strange and said: "Brother Meng De is alone to ask for Dong, a hero to the world, and now he is the Taishou of Yingchuan, which is worthy of the Cao family's bloodline." But the old lady seems to have a lot of criticism about Brother Meng De? ”

Cao Song sighed: "The money that the old man has earned in his life, Meng De can't spend it in a few lifetimes, but he just wants to recruit troops and buy horses, and he wants to follow Wei Huo." ”

"This officialdom matter, if you are not careful, it will implicate the entire family, isn't it good to be a rich man?"

Zheng Ping praised: "The old lady can see it!" Speaking of this rich man, the little nephew has been a little confused recently and wants to ask the old lady. ”

Cao Song said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew is too polite, if there is any confusion to say, the old man can also refer to it." ”

Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly and said seriously: "Qingzhou Liu Envoy Jun recently wants to build a Guanggu City in the northwest of Guangxian County, and after welcoming the Son of Heaven in the future, he will persuade the Son of Heaven to move the capital to Guanggu City." ”

"My Zheng family also has a lot of money and wants to make a profit in the construction of Guanggu City, but I don't know how to operate it in order to get the maximum benefit."

"I wonder if the old lady can teach me?"

Ask for a monthly pass.,Let the little brother's monthly pass reach 1000 and draw a prize.,Thank you.,Thank you.
