Chapter 1250: Calculation Begins with Grain and Grass

Liao Li returned to his residence very sadly, he knew that all his years of hard work had come to naught.

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, I didn't expect that I, Liao Gongyuan, would do so much for you, but in the end, I was abandoned by you!" When Liao Li was extremely depressed, he hated Liu Bei.

Liao Li is a person with a strong sense of vanity, and he wants to prove to others how awesome he is. The official position of governor of Su Du has power and oil, and it is a first-class official position, and Liao Li has made enough oil and water in his office.

Now that there is nothing left, Liao Li feels that he will become the laughing stock of others. Liao Li could foresee that once he appeared in Chengdu City, he would definitely be ridiculed.

And all this was caused by Liu Bei.

Liao Li secretly swore in his heart that he would make Liu Bei regret it.

The idea is very good, but I don't know if Liao Li will have such an opportunity. What's more, Liao Li seems to have ignored that he was removed from his official position by Liu Bei, and the biggest reason was his greed and unruliness.

However, Liao Li did not put the blame on himself, but vented his anger on Liu Bei.

On the other side, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng went to Zhang Song's house a little drunk.

As the two walked, they were still joking about the embarrassing look of Xu Shu when he was surrounded by a large number of Qinglou women just now, they never thought that Xu Shu was so innocent.

After drinking enough, Xu Shu immediately broke out of the encirclement of a large number of Qinglou women as if fleeing for his life, and then rushed to his residence without looking back.

Zhang Song and Fa Zheng returned to Zhang Song's home.

Fa Zheng changed his previous drunken appearance, and said: "Ziqiao, Liu Bei asked me to be in charge of grain and grass affairs, which is really unexpected." ”

"Hehe, it's not because you're so good at filial piety." Zhang Song said with a smile.

"You might as well say that there is no one under Liu Bei's command!" Fa Zheng will not be proud of Zhang Song's praise.

Fa Zheng found that Zhang Song had a conspiracy look on his face, so he asked, "Ziqiao, looking at your appearance, it seems that there is any plan to calculate Liu Bei?" ”、

"Of course! I have always wanted to meddle in Liu Bei's grain and grass. It's a pity that Liu Bei's house is not simple, and he arranged his cronies in key locations such as grain and grass and the treasury as quickly as possible. Now that Liao Li has been deposed, my previous efforts have not been in vain! Zhang Song said.

That's right, Liao Li's dismissal was really Zhang Song's ghost. In fact, Zhang Song didn't do much of a deal, he quietly let his disciples slowly influence Liao Li, and sometimes took the initiative to send bribes to Liao Li. If you want to talk about Liao Li, it is impossible for you to say that he is upright. Some of Zhang Song's disciples continued to give Liao Li benefits, and slowly lured out the greed in Liao Li's heart. Even the matter of trading with the Southern Barbarians was also done behind Zhang Song's back, so that Liao Li knew about the huge profits. Liao Li also wants to make a profit, and the amount is not much. As soon as Liao Li made a move, Zhang Song ordered his disciples to transport most of the new grain in all the treasury, so that Liao Li could suffer this dumb loss. The most ruthless thing is that the moldy grain delivered to the front-line soldiers is also what Zhang Song secretly does.

After a lot of operations, Liao Li was killed by Zhang Song.

"Ziqiao, we all know what happened before, so you don't need to say more. Now I am also the governor of Su and hold the power of grain and grass. But I don't have any good way to stab Liu Bei. "Fa Zheng is not as strong as Zhang Song in this regard.

Zhang Song whispered in Fa Zheng's ear: "Let's take Liu Bei's grain and grass to be real on the outside and void on the inside!" ”

"How to be real on the outside and empty on the inside!" Fa Zheng asked.

Zhang Song told his own plan in front of Fa Zheng.

"Can this be done? If it's discovered, it's in trouble. "Fa Zheng is a little confused, and there is such an operation.

"Of course we didn't dare at first, filial piety, you can rest assured. This is something I've been thinking about for a long time. Zhang Song was very calm.

"Well, I can't think of any good way, so I'll do as you say." Fa Zheng agreed to Zhang Song's strategy.

Zhang Song approached and said, "Let's do this." ”

On the same day, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng reached a plan to trap Liu Bei to death.

The next day, the newly appointed governor of Su Zhengfa began to take over the Chengdu treasury. As soon as Lord Fa took office, there was no unspoken rule that a new official would take office, so he went directly to the treasury and counted all the money and food in stock. Once it is discovered that something is slightly wrong, the Fa Da people will order rectification, and there is no emotion to talk about at all. The personnel under the command of Captain Zhisu had long heard of Fa Zheng's reputation, and they were all terrified, fearing that they would be deposed by Fa Zheng and lose their jobs to ensure harvest during drought and flood. After all, their previous boss Liao Li was deposed, and they reflected at home. And those things that Liao Li did, they all knew.

Fa Zheng sat in the position of Captain Zhisu, his eyes kept staring at the account details in his hand.

All the account details are placed in front of Fazheng, which is what Fazheng will do after he takes office. After the action just now, all the officials under the command of Captain Zhisu were trembling and waiting for Fa Zheng's orders.

After reading all the details, Fa Zheng sighed and said, "I didn't expect Liao Gongyuan to be so casual, this account details are all fake." ”

All the officials are frightened, this account is all made by Liao Li, but they also know the details, if Liao Li puts the responsibility on them in the end, their heads will be finished.

"My lord, this was all done by the previous Lord Liao, and we are just doing what we are told." Many officials said in unison.

Fa Zheng looked at it, and then said with a smile: "Don't worry, this official will not embarrass you, you are also a subordinate, and you have no choice what the higher authorities want you to do." But if you don't know about it, it's impossible. In this way, everything has something to do with Lord Liao, you can pack your things and go home by yourself, it is not difficult for Lord Ben to leave a good name for you. ”

The hearts of the officials present tightened, this new Fa Master did not come with three fires, but with a big fire, it seemed that he was going to clean up all the officials, who did not receive a little benefit from Liao Li.

"What? One by one, unconsciously, right? Give you a quarter of an hour! After the hour is over, don't blame the official for being unsympathetic. Fa Zheng said coldly.

All the officials were silent, and it seemed that Fa was not prepared to leave a way back for them.

An official stood up and shouted: "Fa Xiaozhi, if you act so recklessly, aren't you afraid that the entire logistics will collapse?" ”

Fa Zheng looked at it and smiled, it turned out to be the brother of one of Liao Li's concubines. This person's sister was taken by Liao Li and accepted as a concubine, relying on nepotism, this kid entered here as an official. Usually this guy has no ability at all, every day is to eat, drink and have fun, up and down. Now, without this income, I guess I won't be able to live.

"Someone!" Fa Zheng will not be polite to these people. "Arrest all those who violate the law and discipline to this official! Waiting for disposal! ”

A large group of soldiers armed with weapons rushed in and tied up some officials who had a relationship with Liao Li.

Fa Zheng and Zhang Song have already figured out all the people who have a relationship with Liao Li, and if they don't get rid of them, how can Fa Zheng and Zhang Song implement their own strategies?

"Fa Zheng! You villain! I'm not convinced! Concubine Liao Li's brother shouted loudly.

"Why are you still stunned? Pull them down to the officer! The official still has important things to do. Fa Zheng said to the soldiers.

The soldiers, in accordance with Fa Zheng's orders, dragged these officials down.

Fazheng didn't get rid of all the officials, and half of the officials were still there. Seeing such a situation, the stupid people knew that the law was aimed at Liao Li's people, and they were safe.

"That's it! Officials who break the law and discipline will be punished as they deserve, and you should take them as a warning in the future, and do your errands well! Fa Zheng said solemnly.

"Obey the teachings of your lords!" The rest of the officials did not dare to oppose it in the slightest.

Fa Zheng nodded, and then reported his matter today to Liu Bei, and at the same time hoped that Liu Bei would transfer some officials from other places. In addition, Fa Zheng proposed to reform the government treasury. Fa Zheng didn't want to be suspected by Liu Bei, so as not to be monitored by Liu Bei in the future, so he didn't need to say anything about any strategy.

When Liu Bei received this news, his brows furrowed a little, he killed half of the officials on the first day, so would there be a problem with the logistics transfer.

So Liu Bei quietly sent people to secretly observe the work under the command of Zhisu Duwei. The result was a big surprise to Liu Bei. The manpower under Fa Zheng's command is reduced, but the work of all the officials has become much faster and more efficient, and there is no difficulty in work at all. And in the end, I learned that those officials who were dismissed by the law were all unclean and deserved.

If this is the case, Liu Bei can rest assured that he is not wrong. Liu Bei waved his pen and praised Fa Zheng, and at the same time said that he would not interfere in the work of the governor of Su Duwei, and the officials who did it would be handled by Fa Zheng himself. It can be regarded as some privileges that Liu Bei gave to Fazheng. As for the reform, Liu Bei also agreed.

When others get Liu Bei's trust, they will definitely do it for Liu Bei.

But Fa Zheng is different, he received Liu Bei's trust, and secretly called Liu Bei stupid in his heart. In fact, Fa Zheng also calculated that Liu Bei would not interfere with him too much, and reporting to Liu Bei was nothing more than an illusion that Liu Bei would report anything to him if Fa Zheng did.

With Liu Bei's consent, Fa Zheng began to do it with great fanfare.

First of all, Fa Zheng got some disciples from Zhang Song to act as officials. It's all your own people.

In addition, according to Zhang Song's strategy, Fa Zheng began to build some large wooden barrels as granaries.

After the construction was completed, Fa Zheng poured all the grain in the treasury into the wooden barrel.

Originally, all the grain was packed in sacks, but this time it was changed to wooden barrels, which made everyone think clearly.

When Liu Bei heard Fazheng's move, he was a little puzzled, and took Xu Shu and others to the granary of Fazheng's reform.

After coming, Liu Bei found that there were many craftsmen in Fazheng who were constantly making wooden barrels.

Seeing Liu Bei and the others coming, Fa Zheng, who was busy, immediately came over to pay a visit and said, "See the lord, lords. ”

"Xiaozhi, I heard that you are carrying out reforms, which is a bit novel, so I brought Yuanzhi and them over, so I can see them." Liu Bei is face was full of smiles.

"Alarmed the lord, deserve to die!" Fa Zheng confessed and said: "If the lord and the lords do not dislike it, I will take you to see the lowly position, if there is anything wrong, the lord and the lords can give some suggestions to the lowly position." ”

"Lord Fa is polite." Everyone knows the temper of the Fa Zheng, and if you can not offend, you should not offend.

Under the leadership of Fa Zheng, Liu Bei and others began to inspect the granary.

Liu Bei and the others saw what the wooden barrels were for, it turned out to be for grain. It's just that they think it's better to pack it in a sack before, isn't it?

"Xiaozhi, isn't it a bit too wasteful for you to build these big trees to hold food?" Liu Bei asked.

Fa Zheng knew that Liu Bei would ask this, so he said: "Lord, in the past, when grain was packed in sacks, although there was a certain boundary in transportation, there were some problems in management. ”

Liu Bei, Xu Shu and others watched Fa Zheng's speech carefully.

"The grain in sacks is layered on top of each other, and once it is damp, it needs to be transported from top to bottom to be clear. At the same time, there is always some space between each bag, which will give the rodents a chance to shelter. The second is that it is not so easy to control in terms of arson. Finally, it's a hassle to count. "Fa Zheng has talked about all the shortcomings of the past.

Liu Bei, Xu Shu and the others all nodded straightly.

Next, Fa Zheng said that the benefits of doing so were there.

"My lord, these large barrels are made of the finest planks, and the ground is covered with a thick layer to keep out moisture, and the planks are sealed from one to the other, so that rats cannot inhabit them. In order to facilitate transportation, a live opening was specially opened in a board of the barrel, and if you want to carry the grain, you can open this opening, and the grain will naturally roll out. The barrels are isolated from each other, and it is convenient to prevent fire and theft, and only one person can guard the entire granary. In the end, a wooden barrel can hold ten stone of grain, which is much better than the previous sacks. Fa Zheng said slowly.

"Filial piety is really talented!" Liu Bei saw that these wooden barrels had such great advantages, and he immediately felt that Fazheng's brain was really easy to use.

Xu Shu: They also think so.

"My lord and my lords, do you have any suggestions?" Fa Zheng asked.

Liu Bei, Xu Shu and others naturally have no problem, even they can't think of such a method. Besides, you are notoriously stingy, except for Liu Bei, Xu Shu, and Zhang Song who dare to say you, who dares to say you.

Seeing that no one gave other suggestions, Liu Bei greatly encouraged Fa Zheng and encouraged him to continue to work hard.

Fa Zheng saluted respectfully, saying that he would continue to work hard to do his best.

"Liu Bei, you may not know the true use of these barrels!" Fa Zheng smiled secretly in his heart.
