I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 492 The Choice of a Good General

Although Liu Bian was more stable than before, and he also knew the direction he should work hard, but he still couldn't completely find his position after all.

As Liu Jian said to Liu Bei, Liu Bian chose the wrong opponent for comparison from the beginning.

With his vision, knowledge reserves, and plans for the future, a thousand Liu Bian is useless in front of Liu Jian.

But this is not Liu Bian's fault, because this is indeed a unique advantage of traversers, and ordinary people cannot change it.

Whoever it is, it is impossible to really farm in Guanzhong for 20 years.

Seeing that Liu Bian was in such a hurry, Dong Zhuo actually understood him very well.

Liu Bian was anxious, and so was he.

Liu Bian hopes to show the world that he is a qualified emperor, while Dong Zhuo hopes to realize his ambition before he dies, to prove to everyone in the world, especially the gentry in Kanto, that he is not defeated by Dong Zhongying. because of their existence!

The reason why the Kanto gentry were able to ride on their heads for a lifetime was entirely due to their ancestor Fuyin. In terms of ability, they were nothing compared to Dong Zhuo.

So at this point, the two hit it off.

Dong Zhuo said to Liu Bian: "If your majesty wants to send troops quickly, the old minister thinks it is not impossible. It is just a long-term matter to conquer Liangzhou and open up the Western Regions. Mules and horses... the most important thing is food, fodder and luggage."

"Whether the current family property of the imperial court can support it, the old man has no idea."

Liu Bian said: "In this matter, Xiangguo can rest assured. I have decided to follow what Liu Jian did in Hebei and adopt farming. The Guanzhong Plain is fertile and wild for thousands of miles. Solve the matter of military rations."

Dong Zhuo nodded, and said: "Your Majesty's humility to imitate General Liu shows your benevolence, but according to the old minister's opinion, the military expenses accumulated by doing so alone may still be far from enough. Discuss and think of a way, maybe it will work.”

Liu Bian asked: "Xiangguo, please try to say it?"

Dong Zhuo said: "The country can make new coins, one coin is worth a hundred, and all goods are equal, and officials can be made official."

The intention is to let Liu Bian issue a new currency with a face value equivalent to one hundred times that of the original Han Dynasty five baht coin, and then let the government take over the market, control prices, and not allow price fluctuations that are not conducive to the government.

Later, according to Dong Zhuo's explanation to Liu Bian, although the face value of the new money is a hundred times that of the original five baht money, its weight is only one to two times that of the old money. You can accumulate wealth from the people and use it to conquer the West.

Moreover, the Chang'an government is the Han government after all. In addition to Guanzhong, the Kanto states and counties also have to pass this kind of currency, and the issuance and casting of this kind of currency can only be done in Yongzhou. In this way, Liu Bian can Use currency to plunder the wealth of the Guandong princes, including Liu Jian and Yuan Shao.

After all, this is also the policy of the imperial court, and the local government must implement it.

Casting money with one hand, manipulating the market with the other, pure empty-handed white wolf.

After all, Liu Bian is still young, with little experience, and his thinking is not that far-reaching. Of course, even if his thinking is far-reaching enough, under the lure of Dong Zhuo's method, he still can't hold the bottom line.

For the current court, this is indeed a quick way to make money.

"Okay, since that's the case, I can ask the Shang Shutai to draft the regulations immediately for farming and casting money. At the Prime Minister's Mansion, I also ask the Prime Minister to urge you to implement the matter as soon as possible."

……

……

Liu Jian already had an eye on what the imperial court was going to do. It seemed that Dong Zhao and Zhang Ji, who were brought into Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, sent someone to send Xingye to Liu Jian's place immediately.

Regarding the court's move, Liu Jian was not in a hurry to deal with it. Because of lack of money, Liu Bian and Dong Zhuo jumped the wall and cast new money to collect money from the people. This was already in his expectation.

After all, in the history of human development, such things are not rare, and what the court did is not new.

Anyway, what Liu Jian has to do is to protect the property of the people under his jurisdiction.

Liu Jian will not bear the inflation caused by the imperial court's money collection.

The most urgent thing he has to do now is to lead the army north into the border of Bingzhou and conquer Bingzhou.

……

……

With the peace of Hedong County, Liu Jian's army will set off soon.

Seeing that Liu Jian's army was about to leave, Xu Huang was very anxious.

He is now in a conflicted state of mind.

First of all, in terms of heart and emotion, Xu Huang really wants to go with Liu Jian.

For a hero as wise and powerful as Liu Jian, Xu Huang probably won't be able to meet another one in his life.

If he can't take this opportunity to go with Liu Jian, Xu Huang's achievements in this life can be seen at a glance.

Only Liu Jian can give him a better development platform and allow him to give full play to his military talents.

But the problem is, Xu Huang also has another worry in his heart.

After all, Wang Yi, the prefect of Hedong County, was his leader. He promoted and reused Xu Huang, which can be said to be Xu Huang's benefactor.

Xu Huang is actually equivalent to Wang Yi's old official.

In this era, if an old official changes the door lintel without a suitable reason, although it will not be notorious, it does have a certain impact on personal support.

Although Xu Huang came from a relatively humble background, he still paid great attention to his personal reputation, especially the Niyang Wang family is also a well-known high school in Liangzhou. I'm afraid that my reputation will be ruined.

Although warriors don't pay much attention to reputation like scholars, who doesn't want to gain a reputation of loyalty after death?
So, Xu Huang is now in a dilemma.

Should he go with Liu Jian or not?
Xu Huang couldn't sleep for three consecutive nights.

Finally, after a lot of struggle, Xu Huang still made up his mind to visit Wang Yi, bid farewell to Wang Yi and follow Liu Jian to fight in the northern border.

Although it will affect some of his reputation, but compared to reputation, the real future is the most important.

So, on the fourth night after three days of insomnia, Xu Huang went to visit Wang Yi's mansion late at night. He came to Wang Yi's mansion, presented a famous thorn, and asked to see Wang Fujun.

However, the officials of the Wang family told Xu Huang that Wang Yi was receiving guests now, and asked Xu Huang to wait in the side room for a while, and the king of the Wangfu would meet him later.

Although he was a little anxious, Xu Huang obediently went to the side and waited.

After waiting for about half an hour, Wang Yi was still not summoned, and Xu Huang couldn't urge him, so he could only go to the toilet first.

But on the way back from going to the toilet, he happened to see Wang Yi personally sending a person towards the door.

After seeing that person, Xu Huang couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly dodged to the side.

If Liu Jian and Wang Yi saw him here at the same time, and then faced Wang Yi alone later, the scene would be too embarrassing.

"Brother Wendu! Liu is leaving."

Wang Yi bowed his hands to Liu Jian and said, "General, Wang wishes the general to go north this time and return with victory as soon as possible!"

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Brother Wen Du said auspiciously, what you and I just agreed on..."

Wang Yi said with a smile: "One word is not the same, four horses can't chase!"

"it is good!"

I saw Liu Jian and Wang Yi stretching out their hands and high-fiving each other.

Afterwards, Liu Jian bid farewell to Wang Yi.

After Liu Jian left, Wang Yi returned to the main hall and ordered Xu Huang to be summoned.

Xu Huang entered the hall anxiously, and after saluting to Wang Yi, he was hesitating how to ask Wang Yi to resign, but he heard Wang Yi say: "Gong Ming!"

"The last official is here!"

"Turn back, pack your bags, and go to Bingzhou with General Fuyuan..."

"Well... huh?"

Xu Huang was shocked when he heard this.

"My lord, why is this so? Why did you expel Xu Huang away?"

After Wang Yi heard this, a little displeasure appeared on his face.

"Gongming, look at what you said, how can Wang want to drive you away?"

"You are a courtier of the Han Dynasty, and you are not a subordinate of my Wang Yi alone. What qualifications does Wang have to prevent you from being loyal to the Han Dynasty?"

"Now, our Hedong County is at peace, and the Baibo army has been completely wiped out by General Fuyuan."

""Of course, the tranquility of our Hedong County is not enough... The land of Bingzhou is now being ravaged by the Black Mountain Army, and the Huns are rampant. General Fuyuan discussed with Wang Moumshen and asked you to serve in his army, which is also reasonable. "

"After all, the war in northern Xinjiang is unstable, and there are still many places where talents like you can be used in the future."

"I just don't know if you want it or not?"

"I'm not going to hide it from you. General Fuyuan came here to discuss this matter with Mr. Wang."

"Of course, Mr. Wang tried his best to recommend you to go. You are capable and talented. It would be a pity if you were not loyal to the country."

"It's just that Mr. Wang and the general can't make decisions for your personal future. If you don't want to go but want to stay in the village, then the general Fuyuan and I can't force it either."

Now that it's all said and done, how can Xu Huang pretend to be serious and humble?
Wang Yi gave him a big step down today.

If he didn't go down this step, there would be no such shop after this village.

"Xu Huang, the last official, is willing to obey the military orders of the governor and the general, go to the front of the army, and serve the country."
