After Zhao Feng read the paperwork, he then roughly explained the situation to Lu Su.

After finishing speaking, he asked directly: "What does Zijing think?" ”

Lu Su pondered for a moment: "Commercial taxation is not a high proportion. ”

"Now that prices are in chaos, it is natural that commercial taxes will be used less to buy food than before."

"If you want to increase the amount of food you buy from commercial taxes, you need to stabilize prices."

"And the best way to stabilize prices is to re-mint new coins."

"But the lord doesn't have this authority!"

The Western Han Dynasty was not very strict about the right to mint coins, and the princes of each fiefdom could mint coins by themselves, but it also caused confusion in coins.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented the Tui En Order, he probably saw the effect of the Tui En Edict in his later years, and then in order to further suppress other princes, he returned the coinage rights to the imperial court.

Others mint coins without permission, and all of them are deadly crimes.

Dong Zhuo ignored the imperial power, and only dared to mint small five-baht coins, and did not dare to mint other coins, so it was still nominally a five-baht coin.

Zhao Feng's current status is not as good as Dong Zhuo, and naturally he doesn't have that power.

Zhao Feng nodded: "Let's not talk about the matter of coins for the time being." ”

"Let's talk about Lu Bu and Cao Cao."

As for the Drunken Immortal Building and the Hongmen Dart Bureau, they have already broken away from the government system and are considered Zhao Feng's private property, so there is no need to talk to Lu Su.

Lu Su pondered for a moment: "Dingtao is the seat of Jiyin County. ”

"Even if Lu Bu is defeated in Dingtao, there is still room for maneuver."

"However, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao united, and Lu Bu had only one way to defeat in the end."

"If we can, before Lu Bu is completely defeated, we can end the war in Youzhou as soon as possible."

"Maybe the lord can consider bringing all the places north of the Yellow River in Dongjun under his rule."

"In this way, with the Yellow River as the boundary, except for some areas of the Qingzhou Plain Country, the land north of the Yellow River will be in the hands of the lord!"

After Zhao Feng heard this, he pondered carefully.

If you want to end the war in Youzhou quickly, Zhao Feng may be able to promote it.

But to take the land north of the Yellow River in Dongjun is to completely fight Cao Cao.

In addition, Hedong County in the Sili region is also north of the Yellow River.

Therefore, even if you take that part of Dongjun, it cannot be said that the land north of the Yellow River is in the hands of Zhao Feng.

Not to mention Hexi County, Yanmen County and other places occupied by the Southern Xiongnu.

Of course, Hedong County is a subordinate area, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and unless Zhao Feng makes it clear that he wants to rebel, it is impossible for him to lead his troops to attack Hedong County.

Therefore, Hedong County can only go to Hedong County to serve as a taishou through someone on the table, and indirectly occupy Hedong County.

But there must be a lot of people staring at Hedong County, and it is not easy to pass this method.

As for Hexi County, Yanmen County, and other places occupied by the Southern Xiongnu, Zhao Feng already had a plan in his heart.

As long as you have your hands free, you can go and reclaim those places.

After all, Hexi County and Yanmen County were originally the land governed by the Han Dynasty, and they are also nominally the land governed by the Han Dynasty, and it is relatively simple to recover them.

And Shuofang County, Yunzhong County, Dingxiang County, and Wuyuan County in the merged prefectures, it will be difficult to recover these counties.

After all, this is a place for a certain emperor to recuperate when he took in the Southern Xiongnu during the Western Han Dynasty.

After that, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu revived the Han Dynasty, but was unable to fight against the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu were in turmoil for the throne, and the Xiongnu nobles killed each other, and the day was driven by Wang Bi to join the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Therefore, these places were directly assigned to the Southern Xiongnu, but they were still the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Similar to the ethnic minority autonomous regions of later generations.

Because of so many things that happened, this incident was a stain on a certain emperor who took in the Southern Xiongnu in the first place.

Therefore, in many places in the record, it becomes vague.

But when he reached a certain status, he still knew that this certain emperor was actually Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, according to later generations, Shuofang County, Yunzhong County, Dingxiang County, Wuyuan County and other places are historical problems.

To put it simply, it is very troublesome to deal with, and it cannot be solved simply by using soldiers.

Of course, if the Han Dynasty continues to be strong, in fact, in these counties, the Han and the Xiongnu have begun to blend ethnicities.

It's a pity that the Han Dynasty is weak, and the Xiongnu rebelled a few years ago and have slaughtered all the Han people in these places.

Then the matter of national integration will naturally go bankrupt.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng shook his head and threw out all these thoughts.

After all, how to deal with the Southern Huns, Zhao Feng has not completely decided in his heart.

And the land north of the Yellow River, there are so many places, it is impossible to be included in the rule in a short time.

So Zhao Feng shook his head: "There is no very reasonable reason. ”

"We should not make friends with Cao Cao."

"Besides, occupying the land north of the Yellow River in Dongjun is only convenient for us to resist the invasion of Yanzhou."

"Actually, you don't get much convenience."

"In addition, if we really want to defend the Yellow River, although it seems to be beneficial to us."

"But it's also good for Yanzhou."

"When the time comes, it will be difficult for Yanzhou to cross the river and attack the north of the Yellow River, and it will be equally difficult for us to attack the south of the Yellow River."

Compared with the Yangtze River, the flow of the Yellow River is much more rapid.

Many places on the Yangtze River can directly cross the river, but there are very few places where the Yellow River can cross the river.

Zhao Feng could send troops to garrison these places to defend against the large army on the Yanzhou side.

Similarly, the army on the Yanzhou side could also be stationed on the other side of the Yellow River to defend against Zhao Feng's invasion.

After a long time, it will be difficult for Zhao Feng to cross the Yellow River.

And the area north of the Yellow River in Dongjun was left, and when the time came, whether Zhao Feng attacked Yanzhou or Yanzhou attacked Zhao Feng, they would all fight in this area.

As long as Zhao Feng can win, then crossing the river will be simple.

Lu Su smiled: "Su is just giving an opinion." ”

"If you really want to cross the Yellow River, isn't there still a small place in Qingzhou?"

Lu Su said.

Zhao Feng fully knew Lu Su's intentions.

is that Yuan Shao went to Henan Yin to develop, and the connection between him and Cao Cao will inevitably be closer.

When the time comes, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will unite and use the land north of the Yellow River in Dongjun as a breakthrough to attack Zhao Feng together, and Zhao Feng will also be very difficult.

And to the north of the Yellow River, which occupies Dongjun, as long as soldiers are sent to garrison the place where the river can be crossed, then Zhao Feng can put his mind on Jingluo Qingzhou.

After all, relatively speaking, although Zhang Yan has many soldiers, the standard equipment has not been fully popularized in the whole army.

Then the combat effectiveness of the Montenegrin army is naturally the worst among the princes of all walks of life.

Leave that aside.

In Zhao Feng's image, Yuan Shao also occupied the four places of Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou.

In other words, in the eyes of the top strategists, the land of Qingzhou is more suitable for the princes who occupy the land of Hebei to expand!
