In fact, Liao Li was ordered by Liu Bei to study behind closed doors at home, and he also kept an eye on Liu Bei's situation, and then Liao Li would think hard about it to see if he could solve the trouble for Liu Bei.

Let Liao Li study hard at home, Liao Li can't do it at all.

Liu Bei's lack of money, Liao Li is clear. Now Liao Li really regrets it a little. If it weren't for his corruption and bribery, filling his pockets, which led to upward and downward effects, Liu Bei would have been so difficult.

The pit he dug himself, Liao Li thought about burying it. If Liu Bei didn't deal with it in the end, or if someone fell into the well, if Liao Li couldn't come up with any way, it would be dead.

Liao Li is crooked. The soldiers sent by Liu Bei came to invite him. The excitement in Liao Li's heart meant that Liu Bei had already thought of him and needed him.

Because it was because of his sinful body, Liao Li put on a relatively simple dress and went to meet Liu Bei. This is very different from Liao Li's character, his favorite is gorgeous clothes, but in that case, it will cause Liu Bei's unhappiness.

But Liao Li can't dress too shabby and grizzled, otherwise he will think that Liu Bei has treated him badly, which will cause Liu Bei to be even more dissatisfied.

It can be said that Liao Li is the roundworm in Liu Bei's stomach, and he has thoroughly explored all Liu Bei's thoughts.

After Liao Li was ready, he followed Liu Bei's personal soldiers to Liu Bei's face.

Seeing Liu Bei sitting in the middle of the study with his eyes closed, Liao Li walked directly to Liu Bei from the door as if he was in a different world, and said with a cry: "Sinner Liao Li pays a visit to the lord." ”

Liu Bei didn't open his eyes and let Liao Li kneel on the ground. Liao Li began to get nervous, he had been guessing Liu Bei's intention to call him over before he came, but now that Liu Bei was motionless, Liao Li was stunned.

After a long time, Liu Bei finally opened his mouth and said, "These days, do you have any gains?" ”

Income? Absolutely. Liao Li reflected on what he had done, not that he had done wrong, but that he should be more cautious in the future and not let others find out.

"Lord, sinners have been reflecting on themselves all the time during this time, and they followed the lord to help the Han family, but he didn't expect to be blinded by lard and do something to hurt the lord. Sinners are wrong, and they are wrong! Liao Li's face was very self-blaming, what was actually in his heart, I don't know if Liu Bei could guess it.

Regardless of whether Liao Li is truly repentant or not, Liu Bei is now short of people to death, and Liao Li is truly repentant.

"Since you are truly repentant, you have also been punished during this time. I remember that you have followed me for many years, I will spare you this time today, and if you commit it again in the future, you will not be spared! Liu Bei said.

"Thank you, my lord!" Liao Li said gratefully: "Lord, I must change my past mistakes in the future!" During these days, I miss my lord all the time. ”

Liu Bei nodded, Liao Li's personality, he knew it, but now both sides need a step to come down. Liao Li's attitude is what Liu Bei wants.

"Although I have pardoned your crimes, you cannot take up an official position now, so follow me first, and when you make meritorious contributions in the future, I am entrusted with important tasks." Liu Bei made his words clear first, lest Liao Li have any ideas.

Liao Li hurriedly received the order, after all, he had just been released from his home, so don't think about this official position or anything yet.

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Now that Zhang Ren and Yan Yan are two thieves, the military division has been calculated, Yuba County has been defeated in a big battle, and the thieves are surging, what can you do?" ”

"What! The military division was defeated?! "Liao Li didn't know this.

For Xu Shu, Liao Li was very jealous, but Liao Li did not deny Xu Shu's high ability in his heart, but he didn't expect Xu Shu to fail one day.

But Liao Li couldn't be happy, once Xu Shu was defeated, the consequences would be very serious.

"Can the lord elaborate on it, and then refer to the lord in detail." Liao Li didn't dare to make a mistake.

Liu Bei felt that after Liao Li reflected at home, his attitude became much better, so he told his situation.

Liao Li is concerned about Liu Bei's situation at home, but it is not so detailed. Now after listening to Liu Bei's explanation, Liao Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Xu Shu was calculated once, but the overall situation is still in Xu Shu's control. The only thing to be wary of is the restless guards in Yizhou, whose actions are related to Liu Bei's rule in Yizhou.

At the same time, Liao Li felt that others expressed the strategy of using money, food, and official positions to stabilize the guards of other counties. After all, now life and death are all for fame and fortune. If you can get everything you want without using swords, why not, presumably the defenders of other counties will be subdued by Liu Bei with a money offensive.

It's just that Liu Bei now has food, but there is not much money.

What's more serious is that this pit was dug by Liao Li before. If he hadn't taken out the grain and sold it, resulting in not much grain in the granary, why would Liu Bei use the money to buy grain.

In the final analysis, it is all Liao Li's fault.

Liao Li felt that he was responsible, which was also related to the key to whether Liao Li could regain Liu Bei's trust.

Liu Bei looked at Liao Li and asked, "Gongyuan, do you have any good plans?" ”

"Yizhou is rich, there are countless families in Chengdu, the lord can let Zhang Ziqiao come forward and let him donate, there will be a harvest." Liao Li didn't know that Zhang Song had already done this.

When Liu Bei heard this, he said very dissatisfiedly: "Ziqiao has already done it." But these families are going to die one by one! There is no hope. ”

Liao Li knew in his heart, it seemed that this incident had greatly reduced the family's awe of Liu Bei.

This method doesn't work, Liao Li has other methods, and said: "Lord, in fact, you may have forgotten a little, you still have countless money to use. ”

"What? Countless amounts of money? "Liu Bei is coming to the spirit.

Liao Li showed a faint smile and said, "My lord, there are several copper mines in Yizhou, which seem to be also used to mint money. If the lord increases his efforts, is he still worried that there is no money to use? ”

That's right, Liu Bei himself forgot about this.

Since the beginning of the troubled times, the princes have risen together, the dynasty has been in turmoil, and all the ambitious heroes have not taken the court seriously.

In order to improve their strength, in addition to privately casting weapons and recruiting soldiers, the princes of all walks of life privately minted money. A prince is very powerful, and the livelihood of the people in the territory he occupies plays a great role, and the importance of currency is very prominent. If you have a lot of money, you can buy a lot of materials, and at the same time, you can buy people's hearts, and so on. But for a long time, the minting of money was run by the imperial court, and there was no way to mint money by itself in the local area, which was a capital crime, and the crime of beheading all over the house.

However, for the sake of their own ambitions, the princes couldn't manage so much, and directly minted money by themselves. Except for the princes who did not have copper mines in their territory, most of the princes would not let go of the convenience of minting money.

Yizhou has several copper mines, which are also being excavated.

was reminded by Liao Li, Liu Bei remembered that he had indeed forgotten such a point.

In fact, Liu Bei is not to blame. It's been a long time since he's been in the position of state pastor and assassin. Moreover, Xuzhou and Jingzhou, where he was mixed before, were rich places, so he didn't have to worry about money and food at all, and over time, he forgot about it.

"Gongyuan is right, I forgot about this." Liu Bei was in a good mood and admitted his mistake.

Liao Li arched his hand and said: "Lord, as long as you increase the excavation of copper mines and vigorously mint money, it will not be long before a large amount of money can be used, and the lord's problem will be solved." ”

"Good! It's a good plan. Gongyuan, you have made a great contribution! Liu Bei was very happy that the problem was finally solved.

"It's all the lord's wisdom and martial arts, and it can only be useful below." Liao Limei stood aside, and now for him, credit is the most important thing.

Time was pressing, Liu Bei didn't dare to waste more time, and said to his own soldiers: "Come on, call me Fa Xiaozhi!" ”

"When did this Fa Xiaozhi get such trust from the lord?!" Liao Li was shocked, looking at Liu Bei's meaning, this matter of minting money was going to be handed over to Fazheng.

Liao Li was still thinking about whether Liu Bei would hand over this matter of minting money to him, so that he could get oil and water from it.

It's really a dog can't change eating!

This is exactly what Liu Bei was worried about, so he chose Fazheng, an extremely stingy and upright person to do this.

Not long after, Fazheng came.

As soon as Fa Zheng entered the door, he saw Liao Li, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Liao Li hurriedly showed favor to Fazheng, and now he can't offend Fazheng to death.

Fa Zheng Yu came to Liu Bei's side proudly, and arched his hand and said, "See the lord below!" I wonder what the lord commands? ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Xiaozhi, how is the mining situation of several copper mines in Yizhou?" ”

"Damn, Liu Bei's brain is spinning so fast, he actually thought of minting money!" Fa Zheng scolded in his heart.

Fa Zheng hid the thoughts in his heart and said respectfully: "My lord, there are several copper mines in Yizhou, except for a few in the south, the rest are going on normally. ”

"Good!" Liu Bei high-fived and said, "Xiaozhi, you immediately increase the manpower of several copper mines!" All shipped to Chengdu! ”

Naturally, it was shipped to Chengdu to mint money by itself.

Fa Zheng had no way to refuse, nodded and said, "I will definitely not disappoint the lord when I receive the order." ”

"Hmmm! Filial piety, you do things, I have always been at ease. Don't be afraid to let it go! Liu Bei spoke like a master.

If Fa Zheng believed him, he would have a ghost, but he only nodded his head submissively.

Money is a big deal, Liu Bei will not hand over all the power to Fazheng, and secretly he will also send someone to supervise Fazheng minting money.

After Fa Zheng received the order, he left, leaving Liao Li and Liu Bei in the study. And from the beginning, Fa Zheng didn't have any communication with Liao Li, except for the earliest previous glances.

Liu Bei suddenly said to Liao Li: "Gongyuan, you have to communicate more with your colleagues in the future." ”

There are some things that Liu Bei won't say much, but Liao Li's communication with other people under his command has always been a big problem. Almost most of Liu Bei's subordinates did not deal with Liao Li, which made Liu Bei very embarrassed.

Liao Li said ashamedly: "Lord, I will definitely correct it in the future!" ”

As for whether it can be changed, whether it is done like this, Liu Bei is helpless.

On the other side, Fa Zheng quietly sent Liu Bei's order to Zhang Song and invited Zhang Song to his home to discuss.

For the method that Liu Bei suddenly thought of, Zhang Song couldn't stop it.

There are copper mines in Yizhou, but there are not many near Chengdu, or under the control of Liu Bei's forces. But with a lot of manpower, you can mint a lot of money in a short time. And it just gave Liu Bei the capital to stabilize the guards of other counties.

"Ziqiao, should we send someone to destroy those copper mines." Fa Zheng proposed a sinister method.

If the copper mine is destroyed, then Liu Bei will not have too many raw materials to mint money. But that would kill a lot of innocent people, and at the same time, Fa Zheng was suspected by Liu Bei.

"No! In this way, filial piety will be dangerous to you. You must know that Liu Bei asked you to be in charge of this matter, and there will be problems in the copper mine, and everyone will think of you. When the time comes, what excuse do you have to excuse yourself? After such a long arrangement, it will be empty! Zhang Song refused on the spot.

Fa Zheng was very helpless, so he got Liu Bei through the crisis, and if he wanted to engage Liu Bei in the future, he didn't know what year or month.

Zhang Song said: "The copper mine is going to be destroyed, but not now!" There are still many opportunities in the future, let's make Liu Bei happy for a few days! ”

Zhang Song will not let go of these copper mines, he will definitely destroy the copper mines.

And Fa Zheng also nodded.

Both of them were wise men and knew what these copper mines were all about. But they completely ignore the fact that there are many innocent people in the copper mine, and if it is destroyed, I don't know how many people will die.

However, the two of them didn't care at all, and the lives of ordinary people were not worth mentioning in their eyes.

As Liao Li reminded Liu Bei, Fa Zheng stepped up the excavation of copper mines, and several copper mines near Chengdu City continuously transported raw materials for making copper coins to Chengdu in the past two days.

A large number of copper coins were made by craftsmen working overtime.

Seeing so many copper coins, Liu Bei was finally at ease. And the money donated by Yizhou Shijia and Haoqiang has also been put in place.

So, Liu Bei sent money and food to the guards of various counties and counties, and took Liu Bei's appointment to them.

The official positions of the guards in all counties and counties have been increased by one level, which makes many guards very happy, and all they want is money, food and power. Now Liu Bei took it out so quickly, which was exactly what they thought. Liu Bei was so generous, the guards of the counties and counties could not help but express themselves, and they all wrote to Liu Bei, expressing their willingness to follow Liu Yu's instructions.

The faintly turbulent situation instantly returned to Liu Bei's control.

Liu Bei can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that the cost this time is a bit big, and Liu Bei feels distressed when he thinks about it. Liu Bei is now worried about his strength. He can't control a Yizhou, and he can't talk about any great cause.

Liu Bei felt that his own strength and strength were insufficient, and then he began to expand his troops on a large scale and became the most powerful one in Yizhou.
