There was nothing new in the next war, that is, Zhao An and Liu Tai's troops took turns to pursue, and Tian Yu took the remnants to run.

It's just that the pursuing Liu Taijun can not only change people, but also change horses, but the number of pursued beggars is constantly decreasing.

The remnants fled back to Linzi first, but were immediately broken into the city by Liu Tai's army, allowing them to continue their escape.

Then Tian Yu followed the escape route on the note and helped Liu Tai clean up some of the remaining families in Qingzhou.

Especially the kind of family with serious land encroachment is the focus of Liu Tai.

In addition to dealing with the Qingzhou family to obtain land and resources, it is also to clean up the number of beggar soldiers.

After all, Liu Tai can't bear the scale of 500,000, but if there are only 400,000 or even 300,000 left, Liu Tai can successfully eat this group of people.

There's no way, Liu Tai also wants to save everyone, but he really doesn't have the ability!

In the end, he was able to save 300,000 people, but it was because these beggar soldiers destroyed the family's manors with their heels, and Liu Tai sent people to take over these manors with his heels.

With the accumulation of food, Liu Tai calculated that he could feed these people, so he let Tian Yu play a death scene to the end!

Then he felt the righteousness of Tian Yu and accepted the remaining beggar army.

As long as Liu Tai can digest the 300,000 beggar troops, not to mention competing for the world, but in the land of Qingzhou, there is more or less a foundation.

"Tian Dashuai, how does it feel to experience your funeral in person, and 300,000 people cry together?" Liu Tai said.

"Thorn Smoke's going to make fun of him!" When Tian Tai heard Liu Tai's words, he shook his head and sighed, "Please also ask the general to treat them well."

They are more or less miserable people who can't survive, if it weren't for the locust plague, they wouldn't have come to Qingzhou. ”

"I naturally know how to settle them, don't worry!" Liu Tai looked at Tian Yu meaningfully.

At this moment, Tian Yu hesitated to speak, and looked a little worried, and he was a little hesitant for a while.

"What do you want to tell me?" Liu Tai looked at Tian Yu's appearance and asked.

"Thorn History, where should I go next?!" Tian Yu looked at Liu Tai's appearance and said with some worry:

"In the coming days, it is not suitable to appear in front of these soldiers!"

After all, whoever looks at a dead person appearing in front of these beggar soldiers who have just surrendered, then they can naturally know that they have been deceived, and when the time comes, these 300,000 surrendered beggar soldiers are afraid that they will not riot.

"I've already thought about it for you, you go to Changguang County to the south of it, I need to train the sailor, and you will be the governor of our Han army in the future!" Liu Tai looked at Tian Yu and said.

"The general asked me to train the sailor?!" When Tian Tai heard Liu Tai's words, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, but he didn't expect Liu Tai to suddenly mention this matter.

"Hmm!" Liu Tai took out a map of Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and Liaodong.

Tian Yu looked at this map and was a little stunned, because this map that included the entire Bohai Sea was something he had never expected, and now he suddenly saw that Tian Yu still hadn't come back to his senses.

Raising his head and looking at Liu Tai again, he said with a little surprise, "This map is the general's brainchild?" ”

"It's been sorted out these days!" Liu Tai replied to Tian Yu, and then pointed to the map,

"We are now in Qingzhou, although Gou Xi was defeated, but there is still a fierce general Wang Jun in the Jin court, and the first thing we have to solve next must be Wang Jun of Youzhou!"

"And Wang Jun has a good command of the troops, and there is even the help of the Xianbei cavalry, don't look at the current Shile has repeatedly won big victories, but in the face of Wang Jun, he has not yet won a victory!" Liu Tai said to Tian Yu,

"If you fight with Wang Jun, he will have the advantage of cavalry on land, and I dare not underestimate him.

All I can think about is that I will attract from the front, and when I attract all of Wang Jun's attention to us.

You led the navy into the Bohai Sea from the flank to attack Youzhou, and the battle was decided! ”

"It's like dealing with Gou Xi today?" Tian Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard Liu Tai's words.

However, he was very worried: "However, is there really a ship that can sail the sea and attack Youzhou?" ”

Liu Tai said calmly at this moment: "During the Three Kingdoms, Sun Quan sent a ship to contact Gongsun Du, so technically, there is absolutely no problem with sea navigation.

I remember when I was a child, I hid at sea with Uncle Wang Mi for a while.

Therefore, Qingzhou has the dock craftsmen and materials required for the research and development of ships at sea.

It's just that now Qingzhou is dilapidated, and these things are complicated to find, and you need to spend some time slowly sorting out resources. ”

"Please rest assured, his subordinates will definitely do their best to train this sea sailor!" Tian Yu said.

"But it's going to be hard for you to be incognito for a few years!" When Liu Tai heard Tian Yu's words, he couldn't help but hold Tian Yu's hands and said earnestly,

"But when your sailor forms a raid on Youzhou, he will definitely leave a name in history, and he will be the first sailor in the past!"

When Tian Yu heard this, he was also excited in his heart, "If it weren't for the general, how could I have this opportunity, thank you for the promotion!" ”

Tian Yu knew that Liu Tai did not have the kind of mind about throwing himself away when he ran out, but really arranged a position for himself.

In the past few years, I have been incognito, and I have put all my thoughts on this.

Liu Tai knew very well that elite soldiers were difficult to train, and cavalry was even more difficult, but compared to the navy, it was much worse.

The navy is definitely the top technical arm of this era, Tian Yu wants to train the navy from scratch, even if it is just along the Bohai Bay, all the way to Youzhou, I am afraid that it will also need to be conquered one after another, keel, sealed warehouse, star plate (the predecessor of the sextant)...... and further refinements of various sail and mast techniques, and even headwind tuning based on hard sails.

These require not only manpower, but also accumulation, and most importantly, mathematics, Liu Tai feels big when he thinks about it!

Where did Tian Yu find a good place to go, this is simply looking for a big hole!

Of course, when attacking Youzhou, you may not need so many and such complete skills, but even so, when will this kind of thing be able to practice to be able to pull out and sail, Liu Tai thinks that it will take three years to say the least!

"Let's try to get the whole supporting system that the sailor needs!" Liu Tai couldn't help but take a deep breath, he always felt that he had also jumped into a sinkhole, but he had chosen the path and had to finish it on his knees!

For Liu Tai, the first thing that needs to be done now is to settle the 300,000 beggar troops and the people of Qingzhou.

There is no nonsense, this group of beggars naturally all entered Liu Tai's collective farm to work.

After all, they are beggars, how can they be viewed purely from the perspective of ordinary people.

They must be constrained by laws and regulations, so that they can reclaim a large amount of land in Qingzhou that was barren due to the war.

The war began in May and lasted until July, and I had to hurry up and replant winter wheat.

After settling down the 300,000 beggar army, Liu Tai naturally began to divide the fields among the soldiers who fought with him.

Compared with the buckle rope when the field was sent in Taishan County, but this time in the field in Linzi, Liu Tai was much more generous.

Almost every soldier with a family has been sent to the field, which is also no way, Liu Tai is issued by households, there are no people who have a family, the reward is only meritorious service and no field, even if you take a concubine and someone to take care of it, it is also a field, but if you are a single, then there is no way, only those who can have a family are preferred.

But even so, there is too much land in Qingzhou to be developed, and it is impossible to complete it at all.

Since the beginning of his father Liu Bogen's army, Qingzhou has always been used as a chessboard and battlefield, especially when Wang Mi was defeated, defeated and fled, and almost all the boundaries of Qingzhou were cleaned by him.

This is also the reason why there are not many people in the whole Qingzhou, plus I let the beggars go around like this, the whole Qingzhou is really a small number of people, and it is all barren fields!

However, now, as Liu Tai continues to recruit people to reclaim the fields in Qingzhou, Qingzhou has stabilized for a while.

Even after the sowing of winter wheat in autumn, Liu Tai began to arrange manpower to start building roads and dispatching all the people of Qingzhou.

As long as you are human, as long as you can move, give me a job!

Of course, in addition to food, the most important thing is that after I got Qingzhou, the most important material in the era of the salt industry was finally in my own hands.

The land plain area of Qingzhou is also quite extensive, but because the terrain is too low near the ocean, there will be seawater inflow, so a large part of the coastal area is saline-alkali land.

It is not realistic to cultivate grain in these places, not to mention that you have to give yourself a god of agriculture at the level of Grandpa Yuan to reclaim it.

Therefore, the only thing Liu Tai can do is to use the saline-alkali land of sea salt, which cannot produce grain, and then use the land that can produce grain to produce wheat.

The cost of producing sea salt, because of the salt drying method, is actually quite low.

At least compared with the cost of salt mining methods in the inland areas of this era, the cost is much lower, but the inland salt technology is relatively mature, and there are almost no impurities in the whole production process.

However, when salt is produced from the ocean, there are still a lot of impurities, and it is more troublesome to deal with.

However, for Liu Tai, it is not a troublesome matter, after all, a large amount of sea salt is not produced for the nobles, but for the people.

For the vast majority of the people, no matter how big the problem is, it is at least table salt.

In this era, it is very good to be able to eat salt, who still pays attention to salt hygiene and unhygiene!

Of course, if you want to eat the kind of snowflake salt that has been filtered layer by layer, it is not impossible to get it with Liu Tai's ability.

But the problem is that it can't be popularized in a short period of time, not to mention, after various physical and chemical methods have been treated with brine, and then the protein in soybean milk is used to continuously neutralize the harmful substances in the salt, and the reproduced salt will be more conducive to human consumption.

But before the mass production of soy milk, this kind of salt was only edible by yourself!

However, for Liu Tai, the biggest role of salt production is not as simple as selling salt, or mastering the salt trade, or taking out salt and directly destroying the salt system of this era.

But with salt as the subject matter, Liu Tai can finally start playing financial bills that are not unique to this era.

The hardest goods in this era are naturally grain, but the problem is that Liu Tai's own food is not enough, if he plays with food bills and lets a guy who is not long-sighted smash the field, Liu Tai is afraid that the financial system will immediately backfire.

But now that there is salt, the face of the bill is forcibly linked to the salt, or the corresponding salt can be exchanged for the bill alone, and this kind of bill, even in troubled times, will be quickly accepted by the people.

With such a relatively stable bill, Liu Tai wanted to let the people get a general equivalent in their hands that could trade everything through the bills, instead of needing the people to barter with the items in their hands.

After all, the most important thing for the emergence of money is to improve the efficiency of the whole society and reduce the cost of transactions.

In this era, the imperial court thought that every time it built coins, it was to harvest the people by building coins, and never thought that stabilizing the face value of the currency itself was to maintain the smooth operation of the whole society, so that the whole country could obtain greater benefits.

Don't go to the crazy harvest of the people, let the people breathe a little sigh of relief, let the people have a little surplus money in their hands, then the people themselves will spend the money, let the wealth circulate in the whole society.

And Liu Tai's idea is the same, but he needs to organize the people of Qingzhou to build houses, roads, city walls, and all kinds of facilities that were destroyed in the war.

In the process, the bills with salt as the subject matter in their hands began to gradually circulate in the hands of the people.

At first, the people only thought that the bill could only be used to buy salt and some food.

But as time passed, credibility slowly accumulated, especially through the daily salary method, so that this kind of bill accumulated more and more in the hands of the people.

Naturally, the people would try to use the bill to buy other goods, and when they found out, at least within the borders of Qingzhou, it was free to circulate for all the products they knew, and they accepted it.

As a general equivalent of everyday life, let them think that this kind of bill can buy all the goods produced.

But in fact, as long as the commodity is on a large scale, this kind of thing can only be used to trade salt, which is an IOU for salt.

Just when Liu Tai took over Qingzhou in an all-round way and developed Qingzhou as much as possible, Chu Yi came over.

And not only Chu Yu, but even Cao Wei came to Qingzhou with a large number of gold and silver treasures and various books.

"I've seen Liu Qingzhou!" When Cao Wei saw Liu Tai, he hurriedly saluted Liu Tai.

This is the new generation of big demon Liu Tai who killed Gou Xi with his front heel, and later directly killed the 500,000 beggar army.

Cao Wei, a guy who was beaten by Gou Xi every day, was very respectful to Liu Tai at the moment.

"Cao Changshi?" Liu Tai looked at Cao Wei, he naturally remembered that Cao Wei was by Wang Mi's side, and said, "Haven't you always been by your uncle's side, why did you come over?" ”

Cao Wei said: "After Donglai Gong conquered Luoyang, I heard that the general had conquered Qingzhou, so he asked me to transport property to Donglai first.

There are also all kinds of miscellaneous classics that Liu Qingzhou likes, and Donglai Gong has also obtained a lot in Luoyang, which has been brought to you, the general! ”

"Uncle has me in his heart!" Liu Tai couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and then took Cao Wei's hand and said:

"Cao Changshi sit, sit down! Uncle has already laid down Luoyang, tell me about it over there! ”

"No!" Cao Wei nodded to Liu Tai.
