The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Not to mention, after a few years, they allowed them to grow the team again, absorbing a lot of refugees. The team that originally only had a few thousand people grew into tens of thousands in just a few years.

The more people there are, the more soldiers and horses, and the ambition will naturally come when there are more soldiers and horses.

In addition, their former younger brother Liu Zheng is now doing well in the south. After hearing the news, they felt very uncomfortable. They wanted to join Liu Zheng, but they couldn't bear this face, so they could only fight on their own. You must also learn from Liu Zheng to occupy a territory in this troubled world and be your own emperor.

So they gathered a crowd to revolt in Baibo Valley, Hexi, and continued to use the banner of the Yellow Turban Army to attack the city. At this time, Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou who was originally stationed in Bingzhou, was transferred from Bingzhou by the imperial court, and went south to support Liu Biao against Liu Zheng.

This gave them a chance, so they began to attack cities and territories nearby, first attacking Hedong County, and secondly, targeting the entire Bingzhou.

And the soldiers of the Southern Huns who just happened to be Yu Fuluo were also nearby. They saw these Yellow Turbans attacking the city, and it seemed very simple.

They also learned from them and joined the invasion of Bingzhou.

In this way, the inconspicuous Yellow Turban Army gradually became famous in Bingzhou, and even captured half of Bingzhou.

Originally, the few tens of thousands of remnants of the Yellow Turbans were not taken seriously by the imperial court, but the imperial court was mobilizing troops to conquer Liu Zheng and Yuan Shao, so they ignored these remnants of the Yellow Turbans, thinking that the mere remnants of the Yellow Turbans would not be able to cause any big waves.

Who knew that the remnants of the Yellow Turbans would be very powerful. After occupying Taiyuan, they rushed to Taihang Mountain, where there was another group of remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

These people should have been the Black Mountain Army under the command of Zhang Yan in history.

It's just that Zhang Yan took refuge in Liu Zheng and died, and now the leader of the Black Mountain Army is a yellow scarf commander named Zhang Niujiao.

This person was also one of Zhang Jiao's 36 Fang Xiaoqu commanders before.

It's just that after the Yellow Turban Uprising was overthrown, these little Qu commanders who hadn't died on the battlefield dispersed, and those who fell into bandits became bandits, and those who turned to the government army turned to the government army.

At the call of Yang Feng and Guo Tai, Zhang Niujiao naturally didn't want to live as a bandit in the Taihang Mountains for the rest of his life, so he couldn't stand the persuasion of Yang Feng, and Guo Tai brought his more than 10 soldiers and horses in Montenegro together. joined the ranks of the uprising.

All of a sudden, the Yellow Turban Army revived. Zhang Niujiao, Yang Feng, and Mrs. Guo attacked Bingzhou under the banner of the Yellow Turban Army.

Without Bingzhou, which was guarded by the governor of Bingzhou, there would be less than [-] officers and troops in total.

Facing the attack of Zhang Niujiao, Guo Tai and others at this time, how can they stop it?In just a few months, the entire Bingzhou fell.

At this time, the imperial court had no extra soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress them and could only pursue a policy of appeasement.

Send someone to contact these people, trying to recruit them.

Zhang Niujiao, Guo Tai and the others didn't want to be bandits themselves. They just wanted to be high officials like Liu Zheng. The Yellow Turban legacy they inherited was not the orthodox Yellow Turban ambition at all. It's just a liar under the banner of yellow scarf.

So as soon as the people sent by the imperial court to recruit security appeared, they naturally agreed immediately.

In order to give these rebellious parties a chance to calm down and appease these rebellious parties, the imperial court also spent a lot of money.

Not only did Zhang Niujiao, the black mountain bandit, be given the post of general of Zhonglang, but he also officially announced their official status, making these black bandits change from rebels to soldiers and horses of the court.

The original Mrs. Guo and Yang Feng, one became the governor of Bingzhou, and the other became the shepherd of Bingzhou. Even Nayufulo was recognized by the big man and canonized as Shanyu of the Southern Huns.

The governor of the Great Han court also understood that there are three regimes in this world, if they are still stingy with some superficial official positions and titles, it is simply too stupid.

If you don't try your best to win over these remnants of the Yellow Turbans and the black bandits at this moment, once they occupy Bingzhou, they will throw an olive branch to Yuan Shao.

Then they would have lost an important combat power, lost an ally, and gained an extra enemy.

As long as you promise some official positions and titles that have no practical effect, give these Yellow Turban remnants and black bandits, at least on the surface, they still submit to the big man.

And once the relationship with them is not harmonious, causing these remnants of the Yellow Turbans and Black Bandits to directly join Yuan Shao, these people can also get rewards from Yuan Shao's court.

After weighing the pros and cons, the court still knew what to do.

In this way, the crisis in Bingzhou was temporarily resolved, and Lu Zhi also seconded these soldiers and horses of the Southern Huns from Bingzhou to encircle and suppress Xiliang.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Liu Zheng.

It's just that he was a little surprised when he heard the information from Jin Yiwei under his command from all over the country.

Especially after hearing that Dong Zhuo died unexpectedly, Xiliang Han Suimateng rose up, and Bingzhou Baibo Army and Heishan Army actually got together.

These things made Liu Zheng, who was sitting in the whole south, a little surprised, but they had nothing to do with him at this time. Anyway, he didn't have enough strength for the Northern Expedition in a short time.

Anyway, in a short period of time, he has to let the places under his command that just broke out in the war first recuperate and restore people's livelihood. Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places are all a mess, waiting for him to clean up.

The harvest of grain and grass in October was not bad, at least this winter, he didn't lack grain and grass.

Although the recent war is over, he has two or three months to leave the capital, and he has not dealt with the many memorials that have been accumulated in the government affairs of the court, waiting for him to deal with.

Enough to keep him busy for a while.

Chapter 845 Review Memorial

In the study, Liu Zheng looked at a large stack of memorials on the table, frowned, and began to flip through them bit by bit.

Don't look at the table of memorials, this is what is left over from the four cabinet ministers, Xu You, Shi Xie, Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao.

The four of them have helped Liu Zheng solve those trivial matters, and the rest of these matters are not enough to handle with their powers, and need Liu Zheng to decide.

These things involve a wide range and variety, and they are all things that need to be dealt with.

Priorities, the most important thing is that Liu Zheng needs to know and make a decision.

For example, there was a flood in Yangzhou in July, and last year the plague was rampant, which led to continuous disasters this year. There was a plague of locusts in Jiaozhou and floods in Yangzhou, which flooded many fertile fields and houses.

Many people were displaced, and there were wars again. Before the Huainan area, Liu Bei and others dug a dam and flooded Huainan, causing severe disasters in Huainan.

Regarding disaster relief, the thinking cabinet ministers have already sent people to do it. They have dispatched part of the food in the previous grain depot to various disaster areas to ensure the survival of the victims. As long as their survival is guaranteed, they will not Forced to rebel.

In many cases, the decline of a dynasty must be accompanied by natural disasters and man-made disasters. If there is a stutter, who is willing to risk their lives to gamble.

What Liu Zheng needs to consider now is to continue to dispatch food and grass from all over the country to Yangzhou for disaster relief. At the same time, he also needs to consider temporarily resettling the residences of those people who have lost their houses.

These matters are relatively urgent and cannot be delayed. Winter is coming soon. If the housing problem is not resolved, it will be very difficult for the people who have lost their houses to survive this winter.

"Yangzhou is flooded, let Zu Lang lead the water army to help first, and then ask Mi Fang to send 500 million yuan to go to the disaster relief."

After reading a few memorials on natural disasters, Liu Zheng quickly approved them, and he had nothing to think about these memorials.

"In the future, if you encounter this kind of disaster, you don't need to report it to me, just implement it directly, and just tell me when the time comes. The disaster is important, and the lives of the people are the most important. If you need money, food and grass, go to the various ministries for collection."

Regarding this kind of thing, Liu Zheng has always been very open-minded, and put disaster relief first.

Several cabinet ministers nodded their heads and agreed.

Then they continued to wait, and Liu Zheng also continued to read the memorial.

The follow-up matters are not so important. Most of them are that some officials have enough qualifications and can be promoted, and some officials have resigned due to serious illness.

These officials are either too old to work, or their heirs are old and want to become officials, and they want to recommend their descendants.

In ancient times, there was no strict and fair selection system, and nepotism was a normal phenomenon. Basically, every founding emperor was cronyistic at the beginning, and then gradually added meritocracy.

Xiao He beside Liu Bang was the magistrate of Qin Chaopei County, Fan Kui was the butcher who killed dogs, Zhou Bo was the trumpeter at funerals, Guan Ying was the cloth dealer, Xia Houying was the coachman, and Cao Shen was the petty official in charge of the prison.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beside Liu Bei.

The Xiahou brothers beside Cao Cao, Cao Ren and Cao Hong.

These people, not because they themselves have the ability to dominate the world, but they are a generation of famous generals.

But with the excavation of Liu Bei, Liu Bang, Cao Cao and others, they grew up step by step, and finally became famous generals and ministers in people's hearts.

If no one pushes them to that position, they may spend their whole life as butchers and peddlers.

Status determines his ability.

Of course, ability also determines the height of status.

Liu Zheng is not opposed to cronyism, but cronyism must first consider the person's moral integrity, bad-minded, capricious villain, Liu Zheng is still not willing to accept.

"Permission to retire and return home, if they have children and nephews in the next generation, they will be recommended together and sent to the military academy to study for three years, and then they will be distributed to various places based on their ability."

For those who are not familiar with it, Liu Zheng doesn't have so much time to search a little bit, and directly hand it over to the military school to study.

In this way, after coming out of the school, Liu Zheng will roughly understand the level of this person, and it will be more convenient to assign positions.

Throwing away these things, the remaining things are relatively simple.

It is nothing more than what palace needs to be built in which place, and what buildings need to be allocated.

Basically the backlog is that it requires a lot of overhead.

These things all cost money.

However, Liu Zheng is not worried about this, because he has been busy with the bank affairs a few months ago, and now, after a few months, the bank should be almost done.

So Liu Zheng hurriedly asked them a question.

"Four lovers, all these things need a lot of money. Didn't I tell you about the Qianzhuang before? How is the Qianzhuang now?"

He had been fighting before, and Liu Zheng didn't have much time to manage the affairs of the bank. Now that the world is temporarily at peace, Liu Zheng will naturally start to rectify the economic problems.

"Your Majesty, we plan to report this to you after you finish handling these memorials. Since Your Majesty asked about it, let me talk to Your Majesty about the Qianzhuang first."

Xu You, as the head of the four cabinet ministers, immediately answered Liu Zheng's question and introduced Liu Zheng about the bank.

In fact, the last time Liu Zheng told them about the matter of pretending to be money, he had already made it very clear that he needed to wait for 4 people. He just discussed it and made up for some of the deficiencies.

And it has already been implemented in the imperial capital of Jianye City. The small-scale experiment has achieved very good results.

There are indeed many people who trust Liu Zheng to take out his money and exchange it for banknotes for easy preservation.

At the same time, some people have taken a fancy to it. That year, the interest in the end will choose to deposit the money in the bank.

So after the four of them felt that this matter was feasible, it has been gradually implemented in the whole Liu Zheng's command. Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and other places have all started to build banks.

After the bank was built, it also aroused good responses from all over the country. In a short time, billions of coins were collected from the people.

It is naturally impossible for these coins to be kept in the bank all the time and need to be arranged in a unified manner. Most of them still have to be placed in the national treasury.

However, just a few days ago, a team that escorted coins from various places went to lose the entire 2000 million coins it had escorted.

This matter is very serious. After the news was presented, there was no time to report it to Liu Zheng in the future.

8Chapter 16 Breaking ground on Tai Sui's head

At this time, they reported the news to Liu Zhenghou.

Liu Zheng was immediately shocked.

"Why didn't you report this matter earlier? Let's talk about it now, isn't it too late?"

Several ministers below looked at each other in dismay, Xu You stood up and explained hastily.

"Your Majesty, when this matter came to my hands, it was just now, and I didn't want to disturb Your Majesty's review of the memorial, so I was a little neglectful."

Liu Zheng didn't want to punish them, he just complained.

"Tell me about this matter in detail."

Liu Zheng didn't say much, but just wanted to understand this matter first.

After all, if this matter is not resolved, his bank will not be safe in the future, and those who want to use the money in his bank will not do it just once.

Come a few more times, Liu Zheng should not be mad at him.

So after this kind of thing happened, Liu Zheng had no other idea, but wanted to wipe out those people who dared to break ground on Taisui first.

When Liu Zheng asked, Xu You hurriedly told Liu Zheng the exact details of the matter.

It turned out that Gu Yong was mainly responsible for arranging the establishment of branches in other states and counties for the matter of the bank.

At present, one point is set up in each county.

At the same time, we need to set up banks in Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou, and we need to manage more than 30 bank branches at a time.

These more than 30 bank branches are actually not difficult to do. After all, they have already completed the construction of the bank in Jianye, and they only need to copy the model of Jianye.

Therefore, there is no problem with the initial construction of the bank.

The difficulty lies in how to transfer the money collected from other states and counties to Jianye.

However, this is not a problem for Gu Yong. Gu Yong was the acting principal of the military school before, and there are more than 100 students under him every year. These people will not be sent to the major military camps for training.

Because the number of military camps is always limited, the first one or two batches were almost all mixed up with the positions of Qu Chang and Tun Zhang, but in the current few batches, only outstanding graduates can join the army. Most of the lower-level students were assigned to various counties and counties to manage the county soldiers.

In this way, it is also very simple for Gu Yong to select some of these people and gradually transfer the escort team to the bank.

The captain responsible for transferring the money is called Xie Nan.

This person is a member of the Xie family in Kuaiji County. His brother Xie Jing was a military general of Wu State in history. He followed Lu Xun to defeat Guan Yu in Jiangling and suppress Jingzhou.

After Liu Zheng occupied Yangzhou, the Xie family, as a big family in Kuaiji, quickly joined Liu Zheng's command. As a report, Liu Zheng gave the Xie family two qualifications to recommend their children to the military academy.

It was at this time that Xie Nan joined the Military Academy.
