Governor please stay

The reason why Liu Yishou dared to attack Hanzhong was because of Ankang.Here, gold has been exchanged for food for many years, and there is a lot of food in the government treasury...Of course, this is the credit of Yang Qianyun, the former governor. Xiao Ji was stabbed in the back by Xiao Yuanzhao before he had time to count Hanzhong's resources.

At the beginning, He Bayue not only directly used grain from Hanzhong, but also bought grain from Liang Guo with Ankang gold.

It's just that the gold and food in the Ankang County treasury are all cheaper than Liu Yishou.

Now that the autumn harvest is over, the temperature of the river and river water in Ankang County is not "gentle and pleasant", but there are still a large number of people standing in the river water, holding dustpans, rhythmically shoveling sand and gravel into long strips. In the wooden bed.

If you ask whether the river is cold or not?It must be very cold.

But after finding the gold sand, the fine sand containing gold can be used to pay for corvee and taxes.For the people in Ankang County, where the land is small, apart from this channel, where else can they get so much food to pay taxes?

Obviously, Jinsha is another example of relying on mountains to eat mountains, and relying on water to eat water.Because of the income from collecting sand, the local people live a little better than the poor people in other parts of Liang State.You can also use gold sand to buy food from other counties.

It seems ridiculous, but it is an indisputable fact.

The country is very cold, but the hearts of the people to "get rich" are very warm.

"Are the gold mines managed by the government also around Ankang City?"

Liu Yishou, who watched the villagers digging for gold in the water, frowned slightly and asked Wang Weidao beside him.

"My lord, it is true."

Wang Wei replied respectfully, as for why Liu Yishou refused to meet Changsun Jian at the first time, he couldn't figure it out either.Since Wang Wei came to Ankang County with his eldest grandson Jian, he found Liu Yishou walking around, observing the people's conditions, and recording the distribution of local resources in Ankang County.

"There is tea in the mountains of Ankang, which is of good quality. There are also alluvial gold and mine gold, which are now controlled by the imperial court, but they were all cheap to Xiao Ji and Wei Guo in the past.

The mountains and rivers are so beautiful, attracting countless heroes to bow down.Xiao Yan, a great river and mountain, doesn't know how to make good use of it. It's really reckless. "Liu Yishou couldn't help sighing.

It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.Before coming to Ankang, Liu Yishou only knew that the land in Ankang was small and barren, and the output was limited.I didn't expect to be ambushing here in the gold mine and tea!

"My lord is very right. Ankang County adopts the method of paying taxes with sand, and does not collect grain.

The common people's gold rush has been banned repeatedly, and in the end they can only let it go.Here, hiding gold sand is a serious crime, and the common people are panning for gold day and night, but in the end, no one has ever heard of anyone getting rich by panning for gold. "

Ankang County is rich in gold sand, but these gold sands are not gold, and impurities must be removed and purified to be turned into gold buckles or gold cakes. This is not something poor people can do, even big local households can't do it.

Therefore, the gold sand that ordinary people have worked so hard to find can't be exchanged for a lot of money by the court, and they have to pay taxes.If someone comes to collect it privately, or if someone hides it privately, it will be a capital offense if it is found out.

Even so, gold diggers are still in an endless stream like crucian carp crossing the river.

Because although gold mining cannot get rid of poverty, it can improve life!This is such a simple truth. People will always pursue a better life, which has been the same since ancient times.

How can you not pan for gold when there is no other way?It is better to teach a person to fish than to give him a fish. To improve the lives of the people, the best way to do it is in any age.

If there is no good way for ordinary people to go in a place, what else can they do besides rebel in the end?

Liu Yishou had thousands of thoughts in his mind, but his expression remained calm. Wang Wei didn't understand many of the things he said, so he didn't mind mentioning them.

"The world will be peaceful in the future. Let's let go of the gold sand panning business. Don't control it too much. As long as the gold sands are not taken away from Ankang, they are allowed to pan for gold, and they can resell it to others, and even people in neighboring counties can buy it." Come pan for gold.

Let the local people provide houses and meals. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful. In the future, those poets and poets will come here to write articles and have fun. The local people will live better and do not need any money from the government. "

Liu Yishou pretended to be indifferent and said that he didn't think it was beneficial for the imperial court to strictly control the panning of gold and sand.

Gold panning doesn't produce much gold, but if this gimmick is played well, it can invigorate the local economy and develop tourism.Liu Yishou's understanding of "money" is much deeper than that of Wang Wei and the others.

If gold cannot participate in circulation, it is just a dead thing, and it is too hard to sit on as a stool.

The government's gold income mainly depends on mining gold mines.How much gold can be obtained from the scattered golden sand on the river bed?Time-consuming and labor-intensive, the value of this kind of labor itself may exceed the exchange value of equal weight gold.

Seeing those ragged-clothed common people fishing for gold in the river, Liu Yishou didn't know how to evaluate them.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a place that achieved this, and did the opposite, benefiting the local people only by relying on commerce and underdeveloped handicrafts.

Li Bai, Du Fu and others rushed to leave poems there, which became a beautiful landscape of Tang Dynasty culture.It is the Kuizhou referred to in "Kuimen interrupts the opening of the Chu River".

Ankang is located at the heart of the Han River and has similar conditions. Liu Yishou felt that he could have a "gold panning tour" here.

Of course, that will have to wait until the world is peaceful.This place is like a vine attached to a big tree. If the world is healthy, it will be healthy and prosperous. If the world is uneasy, Ankang County will also be unlucky. It cannot develop by itself.

The world is unified, the world must be unified!Any plan must be based on the premise of the unification of the world, otherwise it will be like building a tower on floating sand, and it will disappear when a wave comes over.

Liu Yishou looked at the Han River, clenched his fists tightly and said nothing.

"My lord, is it true that Changsun Jian doesn't see each other? It's also good to inquire about the deployment of Wei Jun."

Seeing Liu Yishou in a daze, Wang Wei suggested in a low voice.It never occurred to him that Liu Yishou was thinking of doing some "special gold mining tour" in Ankang County.

"Since you recommend it so much, let's see you."

Liu Yishou looked indifferent, as if he had no interest in it.

"My lord..."

Wang Wei wanted to say something more, but Liu Yishou waved his hands and said solemnly: "What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get it on the negotiating table, so don't talk about it. It's not always possible to meet someone like Sima Guang."

"Who is Sima Guang? The vassal of the Sima clan or a relative of Sima Ziru? What kind of person is he?"

Wang Wei was inexplicable when he heard this.

"Let's go, don't care about those details."

Liu Yishou waved his hand lightly, not bothering to explain these boring questions.

On the way back to Ankang City, Wang Wei was a little puzzled by Liu Yishou's attitude, and didn't know whether to speak up. He seemed to be constipated, and he almost wrote the word "unhappy" on his face.

"If you have something to say, you can say it directly."

Liu Yishou looked at him, not understanding what Wang Wei was worried about.

"My lord doesn't seem to be worried about the battle situation in Hanzhong."

It is easy to tell whether a person is tense or not.With Liu Yishou's current appearance, he obviously has a well-thought-out plan for the battle situation.

It can also be said that they don't care much about gains and losses.

"In the current situation, Yang Zhong's 500 men are enough. If He Bayue's army sends troops from Chen Cangdao for a decisive battle, it will not be too late for us to go there to make up for it. If there is a decisive battle, then the place will be in Mianyang, west of Nanzheng. "

Chencang Road is currently the main road between Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and the transportation conditions are better. When He Bayue's troops occupied Hanzhong before, he had been transporting grain to Guanzhong through Chencang Road.

Liu Yishou said it very easily, but Wang Wei heard the danger from it!

Those who don't know, thought that Yang Zhong had 5000 people in his hands, but there were only 500 people!

"My lord, do you think Yang Zhong has too few moves?"

Wang Wei grabbed Liu Yishou's cuff, stood where he was, and asked worriedly.

"No, it's just right. If there are too many people, those people in Guanzhong will not underestimate the enemy. And too many people will be inconvenient to supply."

Liu Yishou obviously rejected Wang Wei's subsequent words: Increase troops to Chenggu County!

He felt that with the current strength of the army, it was enough to deal with various situations.Liu Yishou didn't ask Yang Zhong to defend the city, he can escape if he can't beat him!

In fact, in the history of Liu Yishou's previous life, during the Battle of Shayuan, Li Bi personally led fifty cavalry, which reversed the absolute advantage of Gao Huan's 20 troops and established the victory in one fell swoop.

Therefore, war is not about fighting for numbers. Putting the right people in the key places, once they get into the soul, dozens of people are enough in many cases.

On the contrary, it is the side that dispatches hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn, because of inflexible command, it loses more times.

In many cases, the more people there are, the less strength they can display!

After a while, Liu Yishou and his party came to Ankang City, and saw the grandson Jian who was resting well in the lobby of the government office, but obviously looked listless.

"Ah! So it's you! That green-robed official who called me a monster back then."

Liu Yishou grabbed Changsun Jian's cuff, pointed at his face and shouted excitedly.

When he took people to search the dignitaries in Luoyang, he heard some officials pointing at him behind his back, saying that "the country is about to perish, there must be evildoers", who is the evildoer?Who else but Liu Yishou!

Looking back at that time, Liu Yishou remembered the appearance of Changsun Jian, but he couldn't find him, so the matter was lost.Unexpectedly, he was caught this time.

"King Wu, although I am a prisoner now, I don't think there is anything wrong with what I said that day. Even the status of King Wu now shows that my prophecy was accurate."

Changsun Jian said seriously.

Liu Yishou is now in charge of Liang Guochao at a young age, isn't that monstrous enough?

"Presumptuous! Is King Wu also yours to comment on?"

Wang Wei's complexion changed drastically, and he snapped.

"Don't be so rude. Your mouth grows on others, and the mouth of the people is better than Fangchuan. Can you stop others from judging you?"

Liu Yishou waved his hand lightly, motioning for Wang Wei to step aside.

"Don't be so nervous, Mr. Changsun. Come, come, sit here."

Liu Yishou let the elder Sun Jian sit down, then looked at the other party and asked, "He Bayue wants to seek Hanzhong, so the leader of the army this time is Li Bi?"

Hearing this, Changsun Jian couldn't help but his face tightened, and then he remained silent without saying a word.

"Looks like I guessed right.

Then let me continue to guess how many people Li Bi brought.

Guanzhong is in a difficult situation, and the reformation of the government soldiers is also bumpy. It is unlikely that too many people will cross the Baoxie Road and enter Hanzhong. Due to the constraints of logistics, 2000 people will be a big deal.

Depending on the size of Zhechong Mansion, generally 1000 to [-] soldiers can be recruited for joint training in order to cooperate with each other tacitly.So I guess, it should be a soldier from Zhechong Mansion, rounding up the whole number, it should be [-] people. "

"You know this as well?"

Changsun Jian couldn't help exclaiming that he was already shocked by Liu Yishou's accurate prediction.Could it be that someone can read minds?

At this moment, his heart collapsed.

"Looks like I guessed right again."

Liu Yishou smiled and nodded.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess these, many things have clues to follow.

For example, He Bayue seized Hanzhong this time with a little tentative nature, and he would definitely not send out his core direct descendants, such as He Basheng, Da Xiwu and others.

The other factions in Wuchuan Town, such as brothers Hou Mo, Chen Shun, Li Hu, and others also had the same reasoning. These people huddled together to keep warm, and they knew that this time they were taking advantage of the fire, and the risk was extremely high. Of course, it was impossible to take the risk with their own lives.

Their political status is very stable, and they don't need to gain military merit through such a risky way to stabilize their status.

Wei Xiaokuan, the local representative of Guanlong, Li Bi, who had defected from Hou Mo and Chen Yue, and the three brothers Li Yuan from the wealthy Longyou clan, were all likely to be dispatched this time.

It's just that Wei Xiaokuan is not good at field battles, and the three Li Yuan brothers formed their own faction, and they have a lot of influence in Longyou, so it is impossible for them to dig a hole.On the contrary, Li Bi, who was "born as a general", suffered a lot of losses in the last fierce battle in Luoyang and his political status plummeted.

Moreover, Li Bi was proficient in field battles and won the championship of the three armies.

In addition, He Bayue also intends to support Li Bi to suppress other factions.

From this point of view, the two parties can be regarded as "a concubine in love".Since there is a willingness, it is not surprising that they hit it off.

And this time He Bayue definitely had the intention of testing the effect of the reform of the government soldiers. It is not easy to verify the effect with two soldiers from the Zhechong Prefecture. Sending a single soldier from the Zhechong Prefecture can best test the gains and losses of the reform.

After stripping the cocoon, Liu Yishou has almost found out the whole truth, and even figured out many things that Li Bi and Chang Sun Jian didn't know.

"Mr. Changsun, please go back. If you return to Guanzhong smoothly, then tell the other colleagues. I, Liu, aspire to unify the world, and I am thirsty for talents. On the battlefield, everyone is their master, as long as they don't kill innocent people indiscriminately." I won't pursue those of my generation. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, they are welcome to vote for me."

Liu Yishou said warmly, waved his hand very generously, and pointed in the direction of the door.

"Kindness without saying thanks."

Changsun Jian folded his sleeves and bowed deeply to Liu Yishou, turned around and walked out the door without saying a word.

After he left, Wang Wei said eagerly: "Changsun Jian is well-known in Guanzhong, why let him go so easily?"

"This person was pushed out by He Bayue for us to kill. When Elder Sun Jian scolded me behind my back, He Bayue was in Luoyang and knew all about these things.

Killing Changsun Jian will ruin our reputation, and people in Guanzhong will fear us in the future.It is better to release him to show our mind to accept talents from all sides, and silently deter He Bayue by the way.

You send someone to stop Changsun Jian and ask him to bring me a congratulatory gift to He Bayue. I didn't give a gift when He Bayue got married, so I will make up for it now. "

Liu Yishou said calmly, this is an upright conspiracy, it depends on how He Bayue accepts it.

The younger brothers under his command are all watching with wide eyes.

"What should I give?"

Wang Wei asked suspiciously.For the time being, Changsun Jian couldn't leave the city, except for the handwriting written by Liu Yishou to leave the city.

"Isn't there a concentric lock given to me by a local official in the treasury of Ankang County? It's made of gold. Let Changsun Jian bring it to He Bayue as a gift. Although I didn't get the wine, I still have to give it as a share."

Hearing this, Wang Wei clapped his hands and said yes, but he was thinking in his heart, what tricks did Liu Yishou have waiting for He Bayue.

Chapter 651 Only a thousand people...

"Boom!"

There was thunder outside, and there was a torrential downpour, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, making a tick-tock sound, forming a disturbing symphony.
