Chapter 319: A Run on a Short Run (Supplement)
Hearing Liu Xin say that his actions against the army were more than that, the three of them all widened their eyes, and they didn't understand what else Liu Xin needed to continue to reorganize or strengthen, Liu Xin said with a smile: "I used to pay little attention to the local army, thinking that they were dispensable, and now I realize that it is very wrong. ”
In each county, although the number of local troops is not large, but if they are all added up, it is a huge team, because the local army discipline is loose, the equipment is relatively poor, and the training is even more dispensable, in the minds of the people, they are not Liu Xin's army at all, and they are not welcomed, through the sneak attacks carried out by Lu Bu and Cao Ying, Liu Xin also realized that he must make up his mind to reorganize the local army, and can no longer treat them as private troops of county guards and county orders.
Liu Xin continued: "The performance of the local army in this champion county defense battle is still remarkable, if they can be stronger, maybe the local army and civilians will not suffer such large casualties, in the future, all local troops must be trained and managed according to the standards of the regular army." ”
Indeed, if the local army can also have combat effectiveness close to that of the regular army, if Lu Bu or Cao Ying wants to sneak attack Xiangyang, they will inevitably be blocked by them along the way, thus delaying their advanced speed and buying enough time for Xiangyang to prepare for defense.
After listening to the blueprint described by Liu Xin, Cheng Yu began to feel worried, and said with a bow: "Lord Qi, it already takes a huge amount of money to rebuild Guanzhong, and now that such a big move is being implemented against the army, I am afraid that I will not be able to make ends meet, so please think twice." ”
Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "With Dahan Qianzhuang as the backing, there is no need to worry about everything." ”
As he was talking, there was a sudden noise outside the door, Kuai Yue frowned, and asked: "What kind of people outside are so ignorant of the rules, don't you know that the Lord is just deliberating, why don't you blow them out quickly." ”
Liu Xin raised his hand to stop Kuai Yue, called the soldier who passed the door and asked, "What's going on?" ”
The soldier arched his hand and replied: "Back to the lord, it was Lord Yang and Lord Huang who brought a group of courtiers outside the door to meet the lord. ”
Liu Xin's face turned gloomy, and said: "Hmph, this was once Dong Zhuo's Taishi Mansion, I think when Dong Zhuo lived in this mansion, who of them dared to come here to make a big noise, didn't they all take Liu in their eyes, called Yang Biao and Huang Wan to come in and talk, and the rest of them were waiting outside the door." ”
Since Liu Xin entered Chang'an City, these courtiers have greeted each other with a smile, and they have never made such a straight face as today, Yang Biao and Huang Wan saw Liu Xin's ugly face, and their hearts were drumming, you look at me, I look at you, no one will open this mouth first,
Liu Xin's chin raised slightly towards Yang Biao, and said in a deep voice: "Yang Biao, tell me, what's going on." ”
Yang Biao saw Liu Xin call his name, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, you must know that since Liu Xin came to Chang'an, he has always greeted them with a smile, and he has always called them by Lord Yang, and it is the first time to call them by their names like this, although he was scared in his heart, but since Liu Xin had already called his name, he had to bite the bullet and said: "Lord Hui, the lower officials didn't want to come, they forced them to ......"
To tell the truth, Yang Biao is very clear about his situation, although he is ranked as the third prince, he has always regarded himself as an official in front of Liu Xin, just to please Liu Xin in order to keep his future, just like when he was in front of Dong Zhuo.
Liu Xin is only a pastor of Jingzhou, and his official position should be under Yang Biao, but he also calmly dealt with his self-proclaimed subordinates, but unceremoniously interrupted him and said: "Okay, I'm not asking you how you came, you just tell me what to do." ”
Yang Biao's body couldn't help but tremble, and he said tremblingly: "Lord Hui, those courtiers outside are arguing and shouting for the sake of Yulu's business......
Liu Xin's face was a little ugly, and he said sharply: "As far as I know, since Dong Zhuo's dictatorship in the sixth year of Zhongping has been three years ago, and these courtiers have not been able to get the money for no more than three months, and Liu has only been in Chang'an for a few days, and he has sent you all the money for six or seven months at once, and he also promised to distribute it on a monthly basis in the future, is there anything not satisfied, do you really think that Liu is weak and easy to bully, or think that Liu's knife will not kill." ”
Yang Biao and Huang Wan heard Liu Xin's words, trembled, knelt on the ground together, and said: "My lord Mingjian, the lower officials and others are loyal to the adults, and they will never dare to have the slightest contempt, but they are just ......."
Liu Xin looked directly at the door, didn't look at them, and said lightly: "It's just what, to be honest, don't swallow it." ”
Huang Wan buried his head and said cautiously: "Back to my lord, it's just that everyone hasn't gotten it for so long, and it's hard to look forward to today, but the result is just a few small pieces of paper, the contrast is too great, and it is inevitable that there will be some ......."
Cheng Yu suddenly laughed and said: "You are also important ministers of the imperial court, but you don't even have this bit of knowledge, what kind of small piece of paper, that is the silver ticket issued by Dahan Qianzhuang, which is the most sought-after in Jingzhou, you can go to Dahan Qianzhuang at any time to exchange for cash and copper coins." ”
Yang Biao and Huang Wan were stunned, and hurriedly raised their heads and asked, "This is true, this small piece of paper can be exchanged for cash, where is this big Han bank." ”
Liu Xin didn't expect them to treat the silver ticket as a "white strip", he was angry and funny, and said: "You all know Lu Bu's Wenhou Mansion, and now it has been temporarily converted into a Dahan money village, if you are in a hurry to use the money, you can go there to exchange it, if you are not in a hurry, I suggest that you put away the silver ticket, that is, it is easier to hide it as private money, haha, haha......"
Yang Biao and Huang Wan softened when they heard Liu Xin's tone, and finally made a joke, knowing that he would not punish himself again, and their anxious mood gradually relaxed, only to find that they were already in a cold sweat, and hurriedly confessed to Liu Xin again and again, and retreated.
Now it is basically where Liu Xin's army fights, Dahan Qianzhuang will open wherever it goes, and it is easier for Dahan Qianzhuang in Chang'an City to open, and Wenhou Mansion, which occupies a large area, has become a street-facing shop after a little transformation, and it is close to Liu Xin's temporary residence Taishi Mansion, which is heavily guarded and safe.
The silver tickets of the Dahan Qian Zhuang are all transferred from Hanzhong, and there is no difficulty in exchanging them, from the Taishi Mansion, Yi Wucheng and Li Ru, Niu Fu, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Lu Bu and other people's homes to search for gold and silver jewelry, these gold and silver jewelry are basically Dong Zhuo These people are looted everywhere, and many of them are actually in Luoyang to excavate the tomb of the concubine and the tomb of the princess, among which there are a large number of rare treasures, for these ill-gotten gains, Liu Xin, who is accustomed to "black eats black", of course is to accept all the orders, of course, Even if Liu Xin wants to return these belongings to the bitter master, he can't find anyone, there are thousands of wealthy families in Luoyang City who were beheaded by Dong Zhuo alone, and most of the rest of the families were bullied and destroyed on the way to Chang'an.
However, by Yang Biao and their trouble, it also interrupted Liu Xin's interest in forming a strong army system, some things are often done by relying on the excitement, Liu Xin did not make any preparations just now, and immediately considered the various arrangements of the army in an orderly manner, and now his thoughts are confused, so he can no longer pick it up, so he shook his head helplessly and said: "Today's matter will be discussed here, Zhongde, you sort out what I just said, write a letter and send it to Xiangyang, if the public and they have no opinions, Just recruit new soldiers after the autumn harvest, Fengxiao, you immediately rush to Qi Ke to assist Zilong and evil them, you must curb the arrogant momentum of Meng Shu and others, I will repair another letter to Xiangyang, let Mrs. allocate some flying incense to you, and also drive away miasma snakes and insects. ”
Cheng Yu and Guo Jia each took orders to leave, and Kuai Yue arched his hand and said: "Lord Qiyu, my subordinates think that it is useless for Yang Biao and others to keep it, and they want to give them Yulu, it is really a waste of money and food, why not dismiss these people and go home, and let them fend for themselves, wouldn't it be easy." ”
Liu Xin said with a smile: "Although these courtiers are not of much use, they are quite prestigious in Shilin, if they take the initiative to help wave the flag and shout, they can also save us a lot of effort when dealing with Cao Ying, who has kidnapped Liu Xie, so I will send them a monthly salary, I have set up a cabinet and six ministries, anyway, they can't grasp any real power, the three princes and nine secretaries are just some false titles from now on, I can still afford this point, so let's keep them first." ”
As soon as his words fell, there was a commotion outside the door again, and the noise was louder than just now, Liu Xin couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's going on outside." ”
The soldiers guarding the door hurriedly ran in and said, "Lord Qi, Lord Yang and Lord Huang are kneeling outside the door with a group of courtiers, and they are all excited, and they all want to thank the lord." ”
Dong Zhuo looted the rich in Luoyang, but he was more polite to these courtiers, and did not rob them of their property, but they moved from Luoyang to Chang'an, and they had to rebuild the land and build houses, plus these courtiers' families had a large population, as little as dozens, more than hundreds of thousands, Dong Zhuo did not issue money, and they had no property in Chang'an, and they were empty, even when the gold and silver mountains were exhausted, after three years, these courtiers began to be strapped for money, and because Dong Zhuo minted a large number of penniless small money, prices soared, Some courtiers' homes are even on the verge of not being able to open the pot,
It is precisely because these courtiers are already in financial difficulties, I heard that Liu Xin is going to give them two months of money, they are full of joy, when they see that the distribution is only a few small pieces of paper, the psychological suffering a huge gap, there will be a fierce reaction just now, when they find the Han money village, the silver ticket in the hand is exchanged for white flowers of silver two, the mood is so excited, it is really indescribable, some people try to use the silver ticket in their hands to exchange copper money, the result is actually the real Zhongping Tongbao, It was even more joyful to tears, for a while, the courtiers asked to exchange Zhongping Tongbao, only a moment of effort, actually the Han money in the Zhongping Tongbao squeezed out, but the people who came behind could only exchange cash,
