Chapter 481 A Thousand Clues
Wang Yu received the news that Lu Su was going north, and it was already five days later.
At that time, the alliance had ended, although there were some regrets, such as the issue of Kojiyi, and in the face of Jingzhou's envoy, he was not able to bring the Iraqi nationality under his command as he wished, but the goal was successfully achieved.
Wang Yu welcomed Jingzhou's overtures, he didn't expect the local parties in Jingzhou to contain Cao Cao much, as long as Qingzhou's envoys and spies could be free in Jingzhou, it would be of great help. For Wang Yu, Jingzhou is of little other use, and it is still very powerful as a talent pool.
Chen Qi and Yan Xiang were sent away one after another, and it was Kong Rong who went south with them, carrying the letters and will of Wang Yu's mediation.
The war in Xuzhou gave Chen Qi a lot of pressure, and before leaving, he specially met with Wang Yu, and in a somewhat obscure tone, he secretly recommended his eldest son Chen Deng.
His original words were that Chen Deng, the captain of the agricultural school, had a lot of experience in agricultural affairs, and he could just show his strengths in the affairs of the newly established Dongguan County. The subtext is naturally to recommend Chen Deng as Dongguan Taishou.
Wang Yu expressed a certain interest in Chen Qi's proposal, and Chen Deng's father and son, as a pure local faction, still have the value of wooing. Of course, he will definitely not trust the other party unreservedly because of such a statement.
In the Three Kingdoms era, the most undisciplined was the local faction. They will cling to the strong, bargaining for a piece of land to become the emperor, but they will not be loyal to any sovereign.
Among them, the most obvious is that the father and son of the Chen family have gone through the four leaders of Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Cao Cao, which is much more exaggerated than Lu Bu's three family slaves.
What is stronger than Lu Bu is that the father and son will also make small moves from time to time, Liu Bei and Lu Bu have lost Xuzhou, which is closely related to these two people. To some extent, Lu Bu was tricked to death by these two.
Now the tentative refuge can only be said to be an advance bet.
As far as Wang Yu knows, the relationship between the father and son and Yuan Shu is not very good, and Chen Jue's brothers, Chen Yu and Chen Cong, have all met with Yuan Shu's sword soldiers. Now Chen Jue recommends Chen Deng to go out, which is also to leave a way back for his family, in case Yuan Shu occupies Xuzhou, only Wang Yu can protect the Chen family at present.
Wang Yu readily agreed.
Occupies most of the territory of the Langya Kingdom. After the two counties of Chengyang and Dongguan were reset, the impact of the situation in Xuzhou on Qingzhou was very small. After the rapid expansion of Qingzhou, the troops, logistics, and manpower to govern the place were all tight to a certain extent, before they finished digesting it. It is not advisable to continue to expand.
The annexation of Xuzhou can be considered in the long run.
As for Tao Qian's body, after the treatment of the wounded soldiers was controlled, Wang Yu had already transferred Zhang Ning to Xuzhou, and then added the names of Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji to the list, preparing to find these two miracle doctors who had reached the peak of medical and surgical respectively.
The three famous doctors shot together, but if Lao Tao still has a trace of life, he should be able to save it.
With this in mind. Wang Yu solemnly rejected Yan Xiang's proposal to divide Xuzhou.
In fact, Yuan Shu's proposal is indeed a bit overwhelming, and Xuzhou has a total of only five counties. Yan Xiang's proposal was that Qingzhou should occupy Langya and Donghai, and Huainan should occupy Pengcheng, Xiapi and Guangling.
You must know that Guangling is the Yangzhou area of later generations. It is the richest place in Xuzhou. Looking at the whole world, there are several places in terms of wealth. Can it beat this land with a pleasant climate and countless fish and rice?
Wang Yu will definitely not let Yuan Shu succeed, this guy's personality is very bad, once he inflates himself, he will do all kinds of perverse acts, in case the incident that led to his defeat in history happens in advance, then the situation of Jiang Biao's generation will be completely chaotic.
But he won't suppress it too the one hand, Qingzhou can't mobilize too many troops to threaten Yuan Shu, and on the other hand, Wang Yu is still counting on Yuan Shu to maintain a deterrent to Sun Ce.
Wang Yu can't remember how long it took Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong in history, but for Qingzhou, of course, this time is as long as possible, at least not to give Sun Ce the opportunity to cross the river and go north before the Qingzhou army goes south to Xuzhou.
If you want to grasp the balance in this chaotic situation, Kong Rong's talent must be insufficient, Wang Yu is worried, and Lu Su appeared in time.
When Wang Yu received the letter, Lu Su had just arrived in Zhongli. On the way out of the East Side, this man put on a good show. In the face of the fierce 500 pursuers, he took 30 strong soldiers and found a dangerous place to stretch his bow and crossbow and bluff.
The Huainan army was not strong enough to fight, thinking that the Lu family was a big family, and they could make some benefits by robbing while the fire was hot. As a result, when I caught up, Lu Su was light and simple, and he didn't take anything, and he was almost out of the house. When the pursuers saw it, their enthusiasm suddenly decreased, and when they saw those strong bows and crossbows, their scalps were even more numb. No one is stupid, who will be sent to death if there is no benefit?
The generals who led the troops wanted to fight hard, but Lu Su didn't just put up a position and finish it.
As soon as the Huainan army's momentum stopped, Lu Su began to attack his heart. First of all, I said that meritorious service may not be rewarded, and meritorious merit may not be punished; Then he explained that he was going to Qingzhou, and Wang Yu might send someone to answer him at any time.
The Huainan army was half-convinced, and at the moment of dilemma, Lu Su's pre-arranged manpower galloped back and forth in the distance, stirring up a large amount of smoke and dust. As a result, the pursuers collapsed without a fight, and Lu Su calmly left Dongcheng.
When the news spread, Yuan Shu naturally didn't want to cause more trouble, and the old Sun family in the Huainan army was helpless, so Lu Su took the old and the young to escape from Huainan in a very high-profile manner.
Wang Yu wanted to meet people, and after reading the letter, he immediately took the opportunity to conquer Lusu for the general's mansion, and asked him to join Kong Rong and mediate the disputes between Xuzhou and Huainan. The Lu family was protected by others and continued north.
As soon as the order was issued, Wang Yu put aside the war between Huai and Si for the time being, and was thinking about whether to deal with the errand assigned by his father and mother—the ancients attached more importance to their descendants than later generations. Especially the princes of Wang Yu, who often go into battle in person, each descendant, is a very bottomless thing.
There were frequent wars before, and in the year after the wedding, Wang Yu was not at home for a month. In the two or three months at home, he was either busy instructing craftsmen to make paper armor and making wine, or Zhang Luo Haimao, training soldiers and horses, and completely ignoring personal problems.
Both wives have jobs on hand. It is not to complain about the empty room alone, but it is anxious for the old Wang Kuang and his wife.
Wang Kuang was still a little worried before, afraid that Wang Yu would not be able to handle the affairs of governance, but later talked to Wang Yu, and his mind in this regard was put down, and he was eager to hug his grandson.
Of course, Wang Yu has to meet his father's urgent requirements, in fact, he should say that he is happy to do it. Therefore, the matter of Xuzhou was dealt with. Seeing that the sky was just right, Wang Yu hummed a song and walked out of the Chinese military tent, and all the guards were suspicious, not knowing who was called Lu Su, but there was a news. and the lord was glad to be like this.
"Ministers, see the lord!" It's a pity that Wang Yu's excitement didn't last long, and only half of a small song was blown, and he was blocked by Tian Feng, Guoyuan and others.
"It's ...... What's going on again? Wang Yu's scalp was a little numb, and the last thing he wanted to see now was Tian Feng and Guoyuan.
These guys are in charge of internal affairs, and they don't ask for money. It's to take out a big stack of sticks to show yourself. Wang Yu was very helpless, his brother was a special soldier, not a special secretary, and he couldn't make money. I can't get those tedious things in order. Isn't it just to find so many staff members just to not be annoyed by these things?
"My lord, you proposed to establish an arms department in order to provide various equipment for the army and civilians in order to ensure quality and quantity. But what about the specific charter? Who's in charge? Where to recruit artisans? How are standards set? In addition, after the merger of the Mijia workshops with the Weapons Division. How is the General's Mansion going to ...... Well, installments? ”
Wang Yu saw that Tian Feng had a headache, but he didn't know that the latter's head hurt a lot more than him.
Wang Yu had previously put forward the concept of Shinong Industry and Commerce, preparing to improve the status of craftsmen, introduce standardized management, and abandon the original small workshop model. Tian Feng and others, who were in charge of internal affairs, listened to it again and again and praised it and thought it was true.
However, Wang Yu proposed many specifications and processes, but there were no specific practices. Not to mention anything else, in order to reasonably acquire the share of the workshop jointly established by the Mi family and the General's Mansion, Wang Yu proposed the concept of installment payment, but Tian Feng had no clue how to implement this new thing.
There is also the standardized production that Wang Yu said, the training mode of craftsmen, and various ways to improve work efficiency, Tian Feng is all black-eyed. He is good at handling internal affairs and can sort out many tedious and trivial affairs in an orderly manner, but after all, he has not studied industrial management in later generations, where can he meet Wang Yu's needs for a while?
A few days ago, the shogunate was busy dealing with the crisis in Xuzhou, Tian Feng had to worry about himself, and now he heard that the Xuzhou matter has come to an end temporarily, where else is he willing to let Wang Yu go?
"My lord, what you said is also a bit troublesome. With the protection provided by the General's Palace, the merchants did not resist paying the commercial tax, but the question was, how should this tax be collected? Emperor Wu has been minting five baht coins for nearly 300 years, and there are many types of currency in private circulation, and it is not appropriate to treat everyone equally, and if you use it differently, how to judge the value is also inconsistent, and many merchants prefer to use the way of bartering goods. And different goods have different values in different regions......"
Mi Zhu said with a bitter face: "Coupled with the different tax rates you set for different goods, this tax is simply too many things to calculate." ”
Wang Yu was very upset by this group of people, and said depressedly: "Didn't you say it last time?" Does Qingzhou want to gradually unify the currency......"
Before he finished speaking, Guo Yuan also complained: "My lord, you said that the issue of unified currency also involves a lot!" First of all, there is the problem of gold and silver stocks, the stocks of these things are too small, and the roots are not enough to mint enough gold and silver coins. What's more, to mint so many gold and silver coins, the labor required is also quite large, and now Qingdao and Hebei are in ruins, and there is a shortage of people everywhere, where can we allocate enough manpower? ”
Wang Xiu sighed and echoed: "Yes, the sailor was seriously injured in the previous river crossing battle, and now he is still far from recovering, and your lord has proposed to send a fleet to cross east, which is simply ...... Alas, my lord, this matter is really difficult. ”
Wang Yu's face also became full of misery.
It's hard to be a master, and it's even harder to be a master who wants to do something. In order to recuperate, of course, we must not just store grain, but also truly rejuvenate all wastes and create a framework and a rudimentary form for the future system.
In order to ensure the profit of the participants, several basic regulations need to be determined, such as industrial patent issues, commercial tax issues, and concepts such as equity, etc.
Wang Yu doesn't plan to establish a sound system, but although the sparrow is small, it has to have everything that should be there.
I thought that these rudimentary policies were simple, but once they were implemented, there were many problems. For example, if you want to improve the commercial tax system, you must first unify the currency; If you want to unify the currency, you have to have a large reserve of precious metals; Although Wang Yu also has relevant ideas for this, his ideas are designed to deal with the problems of naval construction and shipbuilding.
These questions are simple to say, but there are too many layers involved, and they go around and around, not only confusing Tian Feng and other internal affairs ministers, but even Wang Yu himself is dizzy.
"Okay, let's talk about it one by one......" Wang Yu reluctantly glanced at Gao Tang City, and continued the meeting with a group of subordinates.
