Xu Huang stroked his palm and laughed: "A good minister chooses the master. Berning. Well said."
See Xu Huang agree with him. Man Chong was about to take the opportunity to speak again. Suddenly hearing Xu Huang's words, the front changed. Shen Sheng asked: "Bonin. I'm here to ask you. Since it is the choice of the master. Then what is the master."
This question is on its way. Man Chong has already thought about it. At the moment he said unhurriedly: "Gongming. It's not a secret. Manmou is now the prefect of Eastern County, Cao Gong, who holds the post. Although Cao Gong is nominally only a prefecture, he sits on Qing, Yan'erzhou, and Yuzhou University. Ministry and Luoyang City. He is courteous and courteous corporal. He is really a rare master."
Xu Huang smiled and said: "So Cao Cao is the master in Berning's eyes. So from Berning's point of view, how does Cao Cao compare to my master."
Man Chong naturally knows Liu Xin's strength. On the way. Cao Cao also let Man Chong treat Xu Huangxu with high officials. Man Chong shook his head without saying a word. Cao Cao is short of money and food. How can it be comparable to the wealth of Jingzhou. How much benefit can he give Xu Huang? It can only be said with reason. Even Man Chong feels that. No matter how you look at it. Cao Cao can't even compare to Liu Xin. Maybe there will be a chance to surpass Liu Xin in the future. But definitely not at the moment.
then. Man Chong did not answer Xu Huang's words directly. Instead, he smiled and said, "Master Liu is a Jingzhou pastoralist. He has a high position. But he is only one of the princes. Now. Cao Gong assists the emperor. Soon he will be ranked among the three..."
Xu Huang unceremoniously interrupted Man Chong's words and said: "Liu Xie kills brother to usurp the throne. Where is the Han Dynasty orthodox. Even if it is not Liu Xie's idea to kill the young emperor. He is also a puppet. Can a puppet be counted as a master? My head of the family has already issued a message in the name of the clan of the Han clan. After the world is settled. Another Li Mingjun. At that time, everyone who followed Liu Xie waved the flag and shouted. It is a traitor and rebellious son. Berning. It has been in you and me for many years. So hand in. You should listen to me. Find another way out."
Full of pets couldn't help being taken aback. I am here to be a lobbyist. How did it become the object of persuasion. He just wanted to say something. But Xu Huang said again: "Boning. The real master should put the world under the people as the most important thing. Look at my Patriarch who has been doing benevolent governance in Jing and Yizhou over the past few years. The rule is peaceful. The people are prosperous. Look at the world. There is also Who can be compared to my father-in-law. You have personally experienced the scene today. Which side of the people are willing to stand on. With Bernin’s wit, you won’t fail to see it.”
These words can be considered to have reached the point. The different attitudes of the two armies towards the dead today impressed Man Chong. The corpses are there. It may cause a plague. It is also possible that the plague will not occur. But Liu Xin was able to consider these things thoroughly. It is impossible without a heart to love the people. Moreover, the wealth of Jingzhou has long been famous all over the world. Although Man Chong didn't see him personally. But it is also longing for a long time.
Seeing Man Chong was silent. Xu Huang continued: "Bo Ning. From the side of old acquaintances. I don't embarrass you. If you are under Cao Cao's rule because of your family, you are worried about being persecuted by him. Just go back and surrender to him. You and I will die in the future. There is a day to meet. If there is no family dragged down. Then listen to my persuasion. As soon as possible, I will vote for another master. My master is dedicated to reviving the Han Dynasty as his own responsibility. Xu follows the master to make contributions and make achievements and glory. The day is just around the corner. If Berning is interested. Xu XX would like to introduce you to it."
Manchong heard these words. It's really exciting. Hesitatingly said: "My family is a small thing. It's all placed in a proper place. It's just betraying the Lord and seeking glory. It's not ashamed of the world..."
Xu Huang laughed and said: "Bonin. What else did you tell me just now. Good birds choose wood and dwell. Good ministers choose the master. Why can't you be a good minister."
Man Chong remembered that Cao Cao attacked Xiangyang with a hundred thousand people. It was a big defeat. Could not help being cruel. Said: "That's good. Just listen to Gongming's words. But. Man still wants to wait until he meets Mrs. Liu before deciding what to do."
Xu Huang was overjoyed and said: "Xu also has many things that are difficult to decide here. You need to ask the lord in person. Since Berning is interested. Then you and I will leave overnight. Go to Chang'an to meet the lord."
Man Chong said in surprise: "Go to Chang'an. Could it be that Chang'an has been conquered."
Xu Huang stood up. Said proudly: "Does Berning think that there are still people in this world who are opponents of my Great Han Corps. Not only Chang'an has already conquered. Even Dong Zhuo has already given the lead."
Wake up early in the morning. Liu Xin had no leisure for a moment.
First, Dong Zhuo was handed over to Yang Biao and Huang Wan for disposal. Then he personally interrogated Niu Fu, Li Ru and Beigong Boyu. When I learned that Zhang Fei had already conquered Xiaoguan. He personally sent Beigong Boyu and the more than 10,000 captured people back home. Beigong Boyu and the Qiang soldiers who were released are naturally grateful. Swear to heaven one after another. Allegiance to Liu Xin for life. Never rebel. Liu Xin knows. People at that time valued oaths very much. During his lifetime. Most of these Qiang people will not rebel anymore.
The Guanzhong area was originally fertile. But under Dong Zhuo's tyranny. But it makes the people unhappy. But now the farming time has been missed. Even if they provide the people with farm tools and seeds. It can't solve their immediate difficulties. Want to relieve these people. The best way is to pay for work. Guanzhong was dilapidated. In turn, it also provides many opportunities. Roads and water conservancy must be repaired before spring plowing next year. This requires a lot of manpower. It just so happens that local people can be recruited to do these jobs. Both solve the manpower problem. It can also take care of the livelihood of the people. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
past. Liu Xin has always used captured prisoners as cheap or even free labor. But these few battles. Too many prisoners were captured. It is no longer possible to put them all into the engineering team. And in Guanzhong, work-for-relief should be implemented. There is no need for so many prisoners. The only way is to send them back to their hometown.
Although these prisoners belonged to Dong Zhuo's men. But they come from different camps. Their status in the Dong Zhuo Group is not equal. So for them. Liu Xin can only treat it differently. Most of the Guanzhong Army and the Luoyang Old Army were natives of Sili. For this part of the captives. Naturally, they should be sent back to work in the countryside. A severance pay was distributed to each of them. There were about 35,000 captured Xiliang army. These people will also be dismissed in the future. but. That would have to wait until Liu Xin took control of Liangzhou.
As for the fifteen thousand Huns who were captured. Their fate is not so good. It's not because Liu Xin has great Han chauvinism. But because Liu Bao escaped. I haven't caught it up to now. Liu Xin didn't want to go back to the mountain. Let these Huns captives return to Liu Bao's hands. Continue to fight against yourself. They can only be sent to participate in forced labor. And neither will give them freedom. Nor will they be given wages. Although the Southern Huns were attached to the big man. However, slavery is still practiced. Therefore, the Huns captives could accept such a result.
Whether it is repairing water conservancy facilities, building bridges and paving roads. It still takes a lot of financial resources to rebuild the city and palace. The money and food that Dong Zhuo had hoarded in Wucheng was just right to come in handy. There is also a large amount of money found from the houses of Taishifu, Li Ru, Niu Fu, Li Nao, Guo Bang and others can also make up for the needs of the project. It saves Liu Xin a lot of money.
The most troublesome thing for Liu Xin was the family members of Dong Zhuo and others and the folk women they had robbed. Cheng Yu worried that Liu Xin would be extravagant and extravagant after entering Chang'an City. Why didn't Liu Xin worry that his subordinates would lose their nature when facing mountains of gold and silver jewelry and cloud-like beauties. People like Cheng Yu, Chen Gong, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Fei are fine. But some middle-level and lower-level officers saw these money beauties. The eyes are straight.
Liu Xin understands. This is also human nature. When persuading people to study hard in the past. It is often said that "the book has its own house of gold. The book has its own Yan Ruyu". The ultimate goal is not to learn knowledge. Will I be able to make a fortune and marry beautiful women in the future
Dong Zhuo's female relatives are easy to deal with. Give rewards to servants who have contributed. And Liu Xin has always done this. but. The good women they snatched. Liu Xin can't do this. Can contact their family members. Take it back by their family. The family has been ruined. Seek their own opinions. Or ration single soldiers as wives. Or let them find their own way.
These things do not require Liu Xin to do it himself. But nothing can be done without him making a final decision. right now. Just a word from him. It can change the destiny of many people. He can't help but think twice. Be cautious. Has been busy until the sun is slanting west. Liu Xin just stretched. Slowly walked back to the Grand Master's Mansion. This day is really exhausting. Even Yang Biao repeatedly invited him to a banquet at home but he refused. Yang Biao didn't know why Liu Xin didn't agree to be a guest at his home. Anxious for a long time. Liu Xin declined until the housekeeper heard Huang Wan's invitation. This is a little bit of snacks. Otherwise, he won't be able to sleep all night.
Dong Zhuo's residence in Chang'an City. Not only big. And it's very luxurious. But Liu Xin only occupied that clean room. Even the study was sealed up. Because there are many imperial objects Dong Zhuo snatched from Luoyang Palace in the study. Even if Liu Xin wants to be emperor again. Now we must also avoid doubt.
Because Liu Xin occupies a small area. The maid waiting by her side doesn't need too much. Yang Biao and Huang Wan wanted to flatter Liu Xin. Four carefully selected from the hundreds of women in the Imperial Palace. The four maids look sweet. They were all sold into large families as maids since they were young. He is only 13 or 14 years old. And they are all virgin bodies. Liu Xin also has many servants in Xiangyang's Zhou Mufu. Those maids are not only beautiful. And most of them were born in the family of officials and eunuchs. But it is necessary to talk about the ability to serve people. Compared with these four maids. That's too far.
Liu Xin lay comfortably on the low couch. He closed his eyes slightly. The two little maids were half kneeling. Two pairs of pink fists are not hurried or slow. Helped him beat his leg with care. There are also two little maids. One person served a plate of iced Sydney. As long as Liu Xin's mouth is slightly open. He quickly picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. Will never delay any more time. The other person held a ball fan. Wave gently on the side. The scent of cool breeze carries a girl's peculiar aroma of orchid and musk. Make Liu Xin reverie.
