The treasurer Li of Chang'an City Dahan Bank absolutely never expected such a situation to happen. Although Zhongping Tongbao is full of weight. Exquisite casting. But it's just copper coins. When I was in Jingzhou and Yizhou. People are mostly exchanging cash. Some important customers can also exchange a little gold. As for Zhongping Tongbao, generally only a small amount can be exchanged. For petty use. Zhongping Tongbao's copper coins were actually coined by the Dahan Bank. Logically speaking, there should be as many as you want. But there are too many copper coins. There are difficulties in transportation. Therefore, a large amount of Zhongping Tongbao has not had time to be transported to Chang'an. Of course it could not meet the needs of these courtiers.
Before Liu Xin came to Chang'an. The legal tender in the Guanzhong area is the five baht coin and the small coin minted by Dong Zhuo. Zhongping Tongbao is also a privately minted currency. It can only be circulated on the black market. But ordinary people prefer to use Zhongping Tongbao. In the city of Chang'an. It takes a hundred dollars for a small amount of money to buy a stone of grain. And Zhongping Tongbao only needs twenty dollars to buy one stone of grain. Because Zhongping Tongbao is secretly flowed into Guanzhong from private channels. So it is very rare. Most people are still reluctant to use it. It is already similar to the hard currency of later generations.
The courtiers at the back cannot exchange Zhongping Tongbao. Although a little frustrated. But somehow it can be exchanged for some cash. It's not quite satisfactory. There are also a few courtiers who are not in a hurry to spend money. Not busy changing the banknotes in hand for silver taels. Or just redeem a small portion. Instead, he quietly carried the rest of the banknotes into his arms. Save it to try your luck later. See if it can be exchanged to Zhongping Tongbao.
In fact, the salary for two months is not too much. But for courtiers who have not had any income in these years. That's really sending charcoal in the snow. You must know that from aristocracy to common people or even untouchables. It's just a step away. If you can't get the salary again. Wait until there is really no rice in the pot. Selling children and girls is not impossible. Now Liu Xin has paid them salaries. Not only did they get through the difficulties in front of them. And Liu Xin promised to pay monthly salaries in the future. It gave them endless hope. right now. Liu Xin is their savior. Let Liu Xin let them get up again and again. One by one still knelt down in front of the gate of Taishi's mansion, crying. Liu Xin looked at several of them with gray hair. Secretly shook his head. It is said that a penny of money suffocates a hero. It's true.
Yang Biao knelt at the front. I have mixed feelings in my heart. When their Yang family was in Luoyang. It is also a wealthy family. Coming to Chang'an for a few years. It's about buying houses and stuff. To support the family again. It will take three days to please Dong Zhuo and his party members. After tossing. He made a lot of money in a family business that he had accumulated for many years. it's good now. Finally there is a way to survive.
Comparing heart to heart. Yang Biao can feel it. Most of the courtiers kneeling here are sincerely grateful to Liu Xin. Even when I bowed down to Liu Hong. No one is so united. A bold idea came up. Just listen to Yang Biao suddenly choked and said: "Liu Xie kills his brother to usurp the throne. Now he has escaped in fear of crime. The country cannot be ruled for a day. Mrs. Liu is a clan of the Han clan. Wen Tao and martial arts will not allow Han to martial. . He is really an immortal master. The minister asked Master Liu to be the emperor."
Yang Biao always wanted to find some way to please Liu Xin. In order to be one step ahead of Huang Wan. I tried my best but I still couldn't get what I wanted. I saw all courtiers kneeling here today. Emergence suddenly appeared. It made him think of this idea.
Huang Wan knelt beside Yang Biao. Hearing this is like waking up from a dream. Secretly annoyed that Yang Biao took the lead. He hurriedly followed and said: "Master Yang is absolutely right. The country cannot be ruled out for a day. Please don't hesitate, Master Liu. Choose a day to take the throne."
The courtiers said in unison: "The courtiers and others call upon the lord to be the emperor."
Liu Xin only felt a "buzz" in his head. This feeling is too unreal. These self-proclaimed orthodox guys in front of them unanimously wanted to come out and become the emperor by themselves. The feeling that so many people persuade to advance is absolutely different from that of Guo Jia persuading himself to be superior. One can't hold it. Maybe you will lose yourself.
Since there is a chance to travel through it once. Liu Xin naturally wanted to sit in the position of the emperor. It's just that he knows very well that it is not yet time. Liu Xin took a deep breath. Force yourself to calm down. Pretending to say calmly: "Master Yang, Master Huang. Please rise up, everyone. Brother Liu Xie kills brother to usurp the throne. It is indeed not qualified to be the emperor anymore. But now the world is full of chaos. The princes faintly desire not to be ministers. As a Han family clan, Liu must do his best. In an effort to turn the tide. Return a bright future in the Han Dynasty. Liu once had something to say first. You need to wait for the world to be settled. Then you can make another Mingjun. Please stop and do this matter. Mention it. Otherwise, they will all be treated as rebellious. Don’t blame Liu for not being affectionate at that time."
Rebellion is a capital crime. Yang Biao wanted to flatter Liu Xin again. We must also consider our net worth and life. Don't accidentally pat the horse's leg. That would be troublesome. He doesn't have much contact with Liu Xin. Can't figure out Liu Xin's true thoughts yet. But he also understands. Only follow Liu Xin's words. There is a way out. So took the lead and stood up. Turning his head to the courtiers, he said, "Since Master Liu is dead. Let's all get up."
Huang Wan saw Yang Biao get ahead of him. Eyeballs rolled. Here comes the idea. Also stood up slowly. He folded his hands and said, "I would like to ask Master Liu. If the next official remembers it correctly. The first emperor once wanted to make the Lord the King of Xiangyang. Later, the adults refused to refuse five times. It is a good story for a moment. Now, the adults must wait for the world to settle down. That is the emperor's throne. Why not follow the title of the first emperor. Call the king to order the princes. Let's ask for rebellion together."
Liu Xin said sternly: "Liu said that he will establish another Mingjun after the world is settled. Not ascending the throne himself. Don't be wrong. As for the title of King Xiangyang, Liu has not been able to protect the young emperor well. This is true. I am ashamed of the first emperor's trust. I am about to pay my salary. To thank him for his sins. How dare to claim the king? This matter will not be mentioned in the future.
At the point of being king. Liu Xin saw it more clearly than anyone else. The emperor is also good. The King of Xiangyang is good too. Now it's just a fictitious name. Liu Xie is the emperor. It's just a marionette in other people's hands. Cao Cao now calls himself prime minister. But let's not say that Liu Xin will not buy his account. Even people like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. If there is no profit driven. Cao Cao didn't want to mobilize one of their soldiers. The key is to look at strength. As long as the strength is strong enough. Domination of the world is just around the corner.
Two days later. The official letter from Xiangyang has arrived again. Said two things. First, Gan Ning arbitrarily transferred his troops to attack Yu Zhang. Has been suspended by Ma Yun. Xu Chu is leading his army to rescue. Second, Zhu Ding, the prefect of Zhangke, has been safely sent to Xiangyang. After Hua Tuo's full medical treatment. Life is no longer a serious problem. Just one arm is missing. Since then became a waste. Zhu Rong was arguing all day to return to Zangke to avenge his father. Ask Liu Xin when he can return to Xiangyang. There is also a private letter attached. Said that Zhu Qian gave birth to a boy. Ma Yun has already named him Liu Ding. I hope that the world will settle down soon.
Liu Xin asked Cheng Yu to write back a letter. The letter praised Zhu Ding. It's so comfortable. He also asked Zhu Rong to wait patiently. It's up to him. And personally led the army to help him avenge. Naturally, Zhu Qian would also take a few small things back. Make her happy. For the safety of Ganning. Liu Xin wasn't worried. He knew that Gan Ning seemed reckless. But quite wise. Twenty thousand naval forces are also well trained. It should be more than enough to deal with Yan Baihu.
really. Two more days passed. Xiangyang sent another official letter. Yan Ming Gan Ning has won the Yu Zhang. The commander went to Kuaiji. Actually. This information has been seriously lagging behind. At this time even Xu Chu had already entered Wucheng.
Su Fei learned that Xu Chu had arrived. He hurriedly greeted him and said, "General Qi Jin. General Gan has captured the three counties of Haiyan, Wucheng, and Yuhang in the past few days. However, there are many bandits here. The two generals Gan and Huang have already gone to the northwest to suppress the bandits. "
Xu Chu has many soldiers. All the way. The bandits and the pirates were too afraid to avoid them. Who dares to take the initiative to touch his mold. So there was no battle. When Xu Chu saw Yuzhang, Huiji, and Wucheng, he had already overcome. Ganning's navy did not suffer any damage. Immediately relax. I don't feel a little tricky either. Said: "Since General Gan is not here. You need to hold on to the city. Wait for the general to come and help them."
The Yangtze River is only a hundred miles northwest of Wucheng. At that time, the river surface was much wider than later generations. You can hear the shouts from a distance. There seems to be a fierce battle going on. Although Xu Chu does not often lead soldiers in conscription. But these followed Liu Xin's side. I often listen to them discussing military affairs. But also a little bit of art of war. at this time. He did not rush into the army. Instead, it sent dozens of sentry guards. Look at the military situation by the river.
Soon. Tanma returns. More than ten miles ahead. General Ganning surrounded a group of thieves. The two generals, Gan and Huang, were fighting fiercely with the two thieves there for a long time. The winner is still undecided.
After Xu Chu knew that there was no ambush ahead. This is the only way to safely drive the army forward. Until the river. Guo Jian thousands of naval soldiers surrounded a hundred bandits. Gan Ning, Huang Gai and two sturdy big men caught each other there. Xu Chu frowned.
What is Huang Gai's martial arts? Although Xu Chu is not quite clear. But he was also one of the best fighters under Sun Jian. Presumably it won't be much worse. But Xu Chu, Gan Ning's martial arts, knew about it. Gan Ning first voted for Liu Xin that year. He once had diplomatic relations with Xu Chu in Changsha City. A martial arts can also be included in the ranks of top masters. Unexpectedly, the thief would fight him repeatedly. It didn't even let the wind fall in the slightest.
Xu Chu didn't expect such a master among thieves. Unconsciously moved the eagerness to win. Give a loud shout. Said: "General Gan and stepped aside. Wait for Xu to meet him for a while."
Gan Ning could hear the shouts behind him. Make a slash. Lema jumped out of the circle. When turning his head to look. See it is Xu Chu. Not happy. Said: "There will be three or five rounds. Gan Mou must have captured the thief. General He Laoxu started."
The thief leader who fought with Gan Ning laughed loudly: "It's a big breath. You have fought for a hundred rounds. A certain family has never lost half a move against you. I want to capture me for three or five rounds. Come, come and come. . You two go together. Grandpa doesn’t fear you either."
