The Three Kingdoms began with the rescue of Mrs. Mi

Chapter 534 Looking for the real traitor

Fudge Sun Quan to beat Cao Wei.

Then sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, insignificantly develop and strengthen the strength of the Shu Han, and when the time is right, they will annex Wei and Wu respectively.

This is the overall ruling policy that Liu Feng set for himself after he succeeded as prime minister.

And to provoke Sun Quan to attack Wei, Liu Feng still needs to have a good discussion with the staff of the prime minister's mansion to see what method can be used to prompt Sun Quan to make another northern expedition?
At the same time, what is the national and financial strength of the Shu Han?Liu Feng also needs to really understand that at the beginning of Liu Beili's Ji Han Dynasty, he promulgated the casting of big money instead of five baht money. This practice made Liu Bei, who was poor and white, suddenly became extremely rich, and he took action when rewarding meritorious officials and generals lavish.

However, although the blunt big money plundered a lot of people's wealth for Liu Bei, it also wiped out the wealth accumulated by many local tyrants in Shu County for several generations. Here it is.

If Liu Feng wanted to change all of this, he had to open source and take the road of business prosperity.

The meeting hall of the prime minister's mansion is located in a cross courtyard on the left side of the gate of the mansion.

As early as when Liu Feng arrived in Chengdu, Fei Yi and Jiang Wan had recruited some of the subordinate officials who had previously belonged to Zhuge Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as Liu Feng's figure appeared at the door of the meeting hall, he attracted everyone's attention.

"Prime Minister, when will Dexin come? Does he need to be the master of this big business?" Jiang Wan couldn't help complaining when he saw Liu Feng coming.

In the past in Zhuge Liang's prime minister's mansion, Jiang Wan was the second person under Zhang Yi, but when it came to Liu Feng, Jiang Wan was still the second person, which made him feel quite unbalanced.

Liu Feng patted Jiang Wan's shoulder with a smile, and comforted him: "Gong Yan, I blame you for not making you the chief official of the left. We will discuss this matter in detail later. Now let's take a look at the big man's income and expenditure account book. Last year's important commodities such as silk, Sichuan brocade, tea, and salt were exchanged for a total of necessities such as grain, coarse cloth, iron implements, and rough horses."

Hearing the encouragement in Liu Feng's words, Jiang Wan calmed down a bit, and began to introduce the operation of various affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion in detail.

The geographical location of the Shu Han, the three prefectures of Jing, Yi, and Jiao, were not the heartlands among the nine prefectures in the Han Dynasty. The common point of these three prefectures is that they are located in the south and mainly plant rice. If there is no war, the Shu Han only needs to rest for a few days Years, enough food and fodder can be accumulated, and the people can live a good life with enough food.

But this is just a hypothesis. In fact, since Liu Bei founded the country, the Shu Han has not fought for almost a year. Even if there were no great wars like Han Wei and Han Wu, there would still be wars to suppress the rebellion of the barbarians in the south and central China. This made the people in Shu Han suffer from hardships , the tax is very heavy.

"When the first emperor entered Shu, he didn't make an agreement with the villagers to pay light taxes and corvees, and not to compete with the people for profit. Why are there so many small taxes collected on this booklet?"

Liu Feng frowned, flipped through the leaflets, and asked Jiang Wan some puzzles from time to time.

Seeing Liu Feng's careful questioning, Jiang Wan was shocked. Liu Bei's promise back then was just an agreement with the people, and the time to really lighten taxes was less than a year.

In the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei almost squeezed all the talents and financial resources of Bashu, so he didn't care about his reputation.

Liu Feng, Jiang Wan and others checked the accounts for several days. By the time he found out about Shu Han's family background, more than ten days had passed. In the anticipation of everyone, Ma Zhong finally returned to Chengdu.

Seeing Liu Feng's face, Ma Zhong reported good news.

In the past year, Jiaozhou has turned around its losses and increased its profits, and began to feed back to the Jingnan area.

The port located in Nanhai County, relying on trade routes with Southeast Asian countries, made a fortune for the Shu Han, especially the gold, silver and bronze wares from foreign countries such as Funan, Linyi, and Tangming. Let Guangzhou Port become an important transit point for transactions between northern Han people and foreign countries.

"Dexin, thank you for your hard work. Jiaozhou will be handed over to Boqi next. You still have to shoulder the burden of the left chief official of the prime minister's mansion. The difficulty we are facing now is to find out the enemy hidden in the prime minister's mansion and the court. Otherwise, if there is another leak in the Northern Expedition, the merits that the big man has accumulated over the years will be destroyed in one fell swoop."

When Liu Feng saw Ma Zhong, he shared his true intention of transferring him back.

Ma Zhong was shocked when he heard the words, and asked: "Prime Minister, Fei Wenwei did not find out before, but a clerk in the Prime Minister's Mansion leaked the secret, which led to the Northern Expedition plan being known to the State of Wei. Could it be that there are other people behind this?" ?”

Liu Feng nodded and said: "Dexin, scribes are just people who perform tasks. The real moths are likely to be hidden in the court, and they may even be officials and generals of important departments, or people we know , This matter is of great responsibility, I called you back just to catch this worm that endangers my man."

"Does the Prime Minister have any clues?" Ma Zhong frowned, and Liu Feng's words made his relaxed mood suddenly heavy. He had already learned from the official documents that Zhuge Liang was trapped in the Northern Expedition. As for returning without success.

Liu Feng took out a letter from a pile of official documents, and handed it to Ma Zhong: "This person, you should take someone to check carefully, see who he usually contacts, what relatives he has, and most importantly, look Whether there are more or less fields in his family, whether food and clothing expenses have increased or decreased, but you have to remember to check quietly first, so as not to disturb him."

Ma Zhong unfolded it and looked, only to see a strange name on the slip: Huang Peng of Jiangyang County.

"This man is Huang Hao's nephew, who is also his stepson." Liu Feng said lightly. He dispatched Wencao, the secretary of the general's office, to investigate secretly the last time the secret leaked. Really, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not the case.

What a scribe can touch is an unapproved draft plan.

If Wei Guo really took this seriously, he would underestimate Sima Yi too much. Couldn't he be worried that this was Zhuge Liang's deliberate bait.

Therefore, Liu Feng believes that the biggest possibility is that Wei Guo has another reliable intelligence channel that is worthy of their trust.

From the investigation of people who were in touch with the Northern Expedition plan, since the prime minister's mansion is unlikely, the only way to start is from the emperor Liu Chan and Shang Shutai's several important officials.

Compared with the courtiers and officials at Shangshutai, Liu Feng felt that Liu Chan was more likely to leak out here.Judging from the people who often appear around Liu Chan and have access to secrets, Huang Hao is the most suspicious one.

Historically, Huang Hao's greed for money has reached the point of unscrupulous means. It is not ruled out that Huang Hao will sell Shu Han's military information to others for money.

　The third one will be delivered, please support me, I will do nucleic acid tomorrow, tears, every day.
