Chapter 213: A Deal with Liu Kun

Liu Cong yawned, his eyes were dark, and his expression was inevitably a little tired.

He sat on the dragon chair and felt as if he would fall asleep at any time, and said, "If you have something to say, you have nothing to retreat." ”

The right servant shot Zhu Ji and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Kun is the name of Liu Tai in Qingzhou, and after proving that he is the king of Chengyang Jing, the ministers are afraid that the two of them will receive each other privately, but they have to guard against it!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Cong was sober when he heard Zhu Ji's words, and said in a deep voice, "After Wang Jun's defeat, it is obvious that the Jin court also wants to win over my favorite general, so he will let Liu Kun do this divisive strategy, what has Liu Tai been doing recently?" ”

Liu Cong understands very well, don't care if Liu Tai hooks up with Liu Kun or not, in short, he doesn't even have a grasp of Shi Le, let alone Liu Tai.

He is at least accepting his own will now, but if Liu Tai does not accept his will at all, it will be a really fatal thing for him, and I am afraid that the Xiongnu Han Kingdom will not be torn apart immediately.

"Liu Jungong is building a canal...... Zhu Ji looked at Liu Cong's appearance and understood that Liu Cong didn't want to care about Liu Tai's hot potato.

"Canals? Where to build a canal? When Liu Cong heard this, he was more or less interested.

"It is said that it is Youzhou City to the Yellow River, and now it is the section from Youzhou to Bohai that is being built!" ZHU Jidao,

"The local family seems to be very supportive of Liu Jungong's actions, and has taken out a lot of money and food to support this matter!"

"Look at it this way, Liu Tai has governed Youzhou very well! Since he wants to build a canal, let him build it! Liu Cong waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else to do today, then today is to retreat from the dynasty!" ”

Soon, before everyone could say a few words to Liu Cong, who had been in the court for a few days, Liu Cong retreated back to his harem.

Zhu Ji and the others looked at Liu Cong's back and let out a long sigh, Liu Cong has become more and more obsessed with the harem recently, and the affairs that need to be dealt with have also been handed over to Liu Can, so that he can handle all the affairs as the minister of state.

Since Liu Cang served as the prime minister, he became more arrogant and extravagant, arbitrary, alienated from loyal and virtuous people, close to treacherous and flattering people, willful and mean without favor, refused to advise and cover up his mistakes, and liked to build palaces, and the national strength of the Xiongnu and Han States inevitably declined.

It can be said that Liu Tai built the canal for no reason, and even the local family was willing to pay for it, which is the biggest problem in itself.

This should be solved by finding a way, but as a result, the court either evaded or pretended to be stupid, and Zhu Ji and other capable ministers more or less unconsciously cast a shadow on the future of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom.

Of course, the environment around Liu Tai is also quite good.

Shi Le can harass Liu Tai militarily, and Liu Cong can influence Liu Tai politically, although Liu Tai does have the means to deal with it, but they don't come to find trouble, it does save Liu Tai a lot of trouble, and he can go all out to promote the canal project.

For Liu Tai, as the construction of this canal officially began and a large number of conscripts from Fanyang County and Yanguo County began, the various deserters around the surrounding area, which were originally entrenched on the border between Youzhou and Jizhou, began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What, as long as you are willing to work, you can eat three meals a day, what, as long as you are willing to work, you can actually send us a house, what, someone actually eats with salted fish......

All in all, one thing really did not surprise the deserters.

One by one, they came to this project to move bricks, after all, it is becoming more and more difficult for deserters to mix.

Originally, they thought that they were locals of Jizhou or Youzhou, and they could survive even if they followed Liu Tai to hide and seek.

But as time goes by, they feel like their range of motion is getting narrower and narrower.

At first, they all felt that everything was under their control, but now they felt more and more that they were turtles in the urn.

Especially after the family conference, they felt as if they were in a place where Liu Tai's eyes were.

No matter where he hides, there will be an official army of the imperial court who will come to eliminate him.

In fact, with the end of the last family conference, a tacit understanding was reached between Liu Tai and the family, which allowed Liu Tai's Juntian system to be implemented at the lower level of society without being resisted by the family.

The most important thing is that when the sons of the good families successfully became government soldiers, they soon received the fifty acres of land, which really made the people at the bottom become Liu Tai's supporters.

And the family did not talk about helping the defeated army, and even chose neutrality, the good family got the land and became Liu Tai's support, and even the people at the bottom as long as they had a strength, they were recruited to move bricks because of the construction of the Grand Canal.

These Wang Jun's routs lost all cover and could only rely purely on their own strength to face Liu Tai.

But where can the strength of their small group of defeated soldiers go, and even the military deliberately wants to use these defeated soldiers to temper and temper the government soldiers in their jurisdiction, so that these government soldiers can see blood and be more diligent in training in the future.

Liu Tai also chose to acquiesce in this point, as the so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, Liu Tai naturally knows that the general training process is training, killing, and training, basically not to say becoming an elite, but he can definitely become a qualified soldier.

But in this era, especially the habit of coming out of the rebel army, it begins with murder.

When you have killed someone and seen blood, then you will be much more serious about the training program with the murder weapon in your hand and the murderous intent will arise.

And Liu Tai understands that Jizhou needs to face Shile in the future, Youzhou needs to contend with Xianbei, and there will be more wars to fight in the future.

In such a situation, let the soldiers see blood, and the soldiers will be more mature when they fight defensive battles in the future.

It's just that Liu Tai's military originally wanted to temper the government soldiers, but they found that something was not quite right.

Because the number of these deserters is too small, I don't see each other for a few days, and I feel that many of these deserters have escaped.

In particular, more and more people voluntarily surrendered, and the military's training plan had to be put on hold.

There is no way, one of the basic principles of Liu Tai's army is to treat prisoners preferentially.

As long as these captives have undergone labor reform, the best of them will be absorbed by the army, and the rest will be paid to let them leave.

It's just that the military historians want these captives to know why they became captives, what kind of persecution the Jin court caused to the people, what they should do in the future for the sake of the Han Dynasty, and help them find the roots of the nation, that is, history......

The most important thing is that from the Han Gaozu Snake Rebellion to Liu Adou's benevolent surrender, this history must be clearly explained.

Even Liu Chan must be washed clean, that is, the capital of mortals, going against the sky, although defeated, he is still glorious.

The people on the "Teacher Table" left by Zhuge Liang to him, he reused each of them, from the teacher table to use you if there is your father in the teacher table.

As an ordinary person, this is the limit of what Liu Chan can do, after the general trend has gone, he chose to endure humiliation and surrender in order to save the people of the Han Dynasty from war!

Because of this, I would like to ask you to recite the full text of the "Teacher Table" and explain it in detail to the soldiers in the future.

In addition, in addition to the texts that the Han Dynasty needs to recite in full, there is also Li Mi's "Chen Qing Table", in which the sentence "Fu Wei Shengchao rules the world with filial piety" is the focus, which must be explained in detail from shallow to deep.

All in all, Liu Tai didn't care what kind of quality the prisoners who had just entered the prisoner camp, but as long as they left the prisoner camp, all of them would become the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

When the time comes, you want to go home, Liu Tai generously released them, and also stuffed them with rations.

If they want to stay, Liu Tai will not stop them, and welcome them to join his big family.

Liu Tai is different from the people of this era, the army is enough for Liu Tai.

Even if it is a troubled time now, I don't want all adult strong men to join the army, but hope that the people can have more productivity.

Because the higher the productivity, the more people will be out of work, and the more abundant they will be to dispatch their own soldiers.

With the handling of Qingzhou affairs, Liu Tai came to Youzhou again, firstly, to facilitate the completion of the transaction with Liu Kun.

As for the other thing, it is to supervise the construction of the Grand Canal.

Cao Wei smiled bitterly at the side, because he didn't expect that Liu Tai hadn't been here for a long time, and he couldn't understand it.

The canal under construction in front of me is like a black hole absorbing the labor force of Youzhou and Jizhou.

With the convergence of a large number of laborers, what Liu Tai needs to do is to provide enough food for them to consume, maintain their order, and then send people to solve all kinds of troubles caused by the large concentration of population.

There were too many people and not enough food to eat, and the grain from Qingzhou began to be transported to Jinkou one by one, and the transportation function of the Bohai Sea began to play a role smoothly.

What is someone fighting and causing trouble? The discharged soldiers immediately imprisoned both sides in a labor camp under the pretext of group beatings.

For such a big thing as the construction of the Grand Canal, you don't have a sense of honor to dedicate yourself to the Han Dynasty, and you actually fight for personal grievances, which affects the construction of the Grand Canal, and all of them are for me to be reformed through labor, especially ideological transformation.

As for when to leave the camp, I will use a sand table to copy the "Leaving Teacher's Table" every day, when I will not make a mistake by copying it a hundred times, and when I will be able to go out.

After all, paper is a valuable item, so how can it be used by you criminals?

What needs to be solved in physiological problems! Zhang Song, Zhang Song, the time has come to need you, do you buy a woman?! Send it over!

All in all, the construction of the Grand Canal absorbed a large number of scattered people in the surrounding society who were not well fed and clothed.

At first, they were in a mess, but after a month or two, they quickly got used to the rhythm of life on the Grand Canal.

To be honest, Cao Wei thinks it's still normal here, at most, Liu Tai is kind to the people.

But immediately, Cao Wei couldn't understand Liu Tai's next operation

Because Liu Tai watched them work so hard as to do the conscription, he began to pay them wages!

At that time, Cao Wei even began to question Liu Tai: "Since ancient times, how can there be money and food for conscription!" ”

"Now there's it!" Liu Tai replied to Cao Wei, then handwritten the silver ticket, stamped it, and went to the salt hall to exchange for a small ticket!

Cao Wei looked at Liu Tai's operation and couldn't help but be stunned.

But what was even more stunned was that the salt tickets that Liu Tai exchanged for from the salt hall were really sent to these working conscripts, and then used as money and food to spend.

Cao Wei was cautious for the next few days, because he was really afraid of these people rioting.

Even Cao Wei thought about how he could save Liu Tai if there was a riot in order to send Liu Tai out of Youzhou.

But the reality is that after receiving the salt tickets, these conscripts became enthusiastic and worked harder.

In the vicinity of these projects, inexplicable shops have also begun to be built, all kinds of daily necessities, all kinds of snacks and snacks, and even green buildings have been established.

There are even those who perform opera for charity, and they are rewarded by the conscripts, even if these conscripts are only willing to give a penny.

All in all, Cao Wei felt that the world was crazy, and he felt that he couldn't understand the world at all.

But for Liu Tai, it is just that the credibility of his salt ticket has been further recognized.

The person in charge of these shops is naturally himself, and of course there are a few who have the courage to go to the salt hall for loans, after all, the ultimate goal of all business activities is just to finance and lend, and he has collected a layer of five profits a year.

The main thing is not to collect such a small amount of money, but to let the currency issued by himself be able to recycle it into his hands.

And Liu Tai had the idea of being idle and idle, and easily promoted the circulation of salt tickets in the Youzhou area.

Of course, Liu Tai also knows that the circulation in this Youzhou area is still somewhat false.

But when this northern section of the Grand Canal is completely dredged, the ships that could only go to Jinkou can travel to the city of Youzhou, and the most important thing is that the Juntian system and the government military system have obtained the fields and become good families, and the people of Youzhou have really reaped a bumper harvest, and they can be regarded as completely mastering Youzhou.

At that time, it is insignificant whether the Youzhou family supports itself or not.

Because he has successfully cultivated an interest group in Qingzhou to support his regime, even if the Youzhou family does not support it at that time, even if he will be suppressed by himself, all he lacks is time!

"Liu Jungong." Lu Chen came to Liu Tai's side and saluted Liu Tai, "Envoy Wen is here!" ”

Liu Tai looked at Lu Chen and said to Lu Chen with a smile on his face, "How did you talk to Wen Qiao?" ”

Yes, Lu Chen, as Fan Yang Lu's identity, said that he had come to take refuge in himself, and Liu Tai's first task for Lu Chen was to let him talk to Wen Qiao about the deal of this armor.

As for the reason, because he is most familiar with Liu Kun's situation, it is most suitable to make an offer.

At the same time, Liu Tai also hopes to take this opportunity to remind Lu Chen that you are now your subordinate, and you are no longer Liu Kun's subordinate.

Lu Chen naturally knew what Liu Tai meant, so this negotiation needs to undergo the test of conscience and morality, as well as Liu Tai's trust in him, to be honest, Lu Chen has wanted to give up several times.

But in the face of the resources thrown out by Fan Yang Lu's real money, he had no possibility of giving up.

So with Wen Qiao's soft grinding and hard consumption, he kept pulling his skin, and gritted his teeth and persevered with all the thoughts of the family.

Finally, a price was reached that was acceptable to both parties, but the two sides did not trade gold and silver, but horses and men.

The price is about two horses can be exchanged for one armor, plus some special talents, and the final price returns to the price of one horse in exchange for one armor.

Almost 8,000 or so armor were traded, but the biggest shortcoming of his army was also completely filled.

Liu Tai looked at Lu Chen and said with a smile, "You did a good job, then you are in charge of this transaction!" ”

"Thank you, lord!" When Lu Chen saw Liu Tai say this, the last worry in his heart was completely put down, and he felt that maybe Liu Tai was also a lord worthy of his follow.
