"Change the angle." Jushou said in thought. "The lord's meaning is to let these people who have fled over here be used by me."
Liu Xin nodded. Said: "Yes. As long as it is done properly. Bad things can be turned into good things. The three counties in the south of the Yangtze River are vast and sparsely populated. They can be used to settle the people who have fled from Xuzhou. Gongyou. You can arrange it. Put Cao Song in Xuzhou. Killed. News that Cao Cao is about to retaliate was spread all over Xuzhou."
Jushou said in surprise: "This news spread. Xuzhou must be in chaos. The local people are panicking. I'm afraid..."
Liu Xin didn't wait for him to speak. He waved his hand and said: "Now it's messy. The people still have time to clean up. Find a way out. If you really wait for Cao Cao's army to come in front of you, I'm afraid it will be too late to escape."
She would rather be a Taiping dog. Don't be a troubled world. Xuzhou has one million registered permanent residence. The news really spread. I am afraid that many people will choose to flee their homes. To the north is Cao Cao. To the east is the sea. The only direction for them to flee was west and south. To the west is Yuan Shu's territory. Liu Xin cannot guarantee that these people will continue westward to reach Jiangxia. but. If these people go south. You can come to Wu County by crossing the Yangtze River. Liu Xin's plan is to put the focus of the refugee camp there. Then gradually move these people to the two counties of Kuaiji and Yuzhang. As for the people who fled to Jiangxia. Liu Xin will also transfer them to the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River.
Jushou is a smart man. Naturally understand what Liu Xin meant. Thus. The three counties of Jiangnan will suddenly increase their population. In the long run, it is beneficial to the development of that area. but. Jushou was still a little uneasy. Anxiously asked: "Enlighten the lord. It is natural that the homeland is difficult to leave. I am afraid that once the war in Xuzhou is over. These people will return to their hometowns in large numbers. At that time, the three counties of Jiangnan will become more depressed. The lord is not allowed. Careless."
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable. It's useless to attract people. You must find a way to retain talent. Therefore, after these people fled, it is absolutely impossible to just gather them. In the refugee camp. They are required to open up wasteland and cultivate land, plant mulberries and raise silkworms. Only if they are allowed to truly regard Jiangnan as their hometown. They will not continue to think about Xuzhou. Let Zhongxiang do this."
Jushou frowned and said: "It's just this way. The three counties in the south of the Yangtze River will have to spend a lot of money. Recently, there have been frequent wars in various places. The export of white porcelain and Xiangzhi has not been smooth. The income is far less than in previous years. Liangzhou, Si Not only did the three counties of Li and Jiangnan not increase their tax revenue. They also needed a lot of money to repair roads, build water conservancy projects, and provide relief to the victims. The government treasury is already running out of money."
Liu Xin also knew that Jushou was telling the truth. There are so many places where money is needed. It's not just these aspects that Jushou said. The large number of newly recruited army salaries and equipment this year is also a heavy burden. This is also an important reason why he is unable to launch another major battle.
but. None of these things can be saved. Liu Xin thought for a moment. Still firmly said: "The money that should be spent still has to be spent. As long as you get through these two years. Everything will be fine. So let's do it. If you can save money in other places, please save. Tell Juda. The two places in Chang'an and Luoyang. The construction of the palace is temporarily suspended. Concentrate on the repair of the city first. I will discuss with my wife. I will see if I can borrow some from the Dahan Bank. In order to alleviate the urgent need. Liu's salary should stop from this month. The wife and the others got the ones The business in this store is pretty good. It's enough to supplement the household."
in fact. Liu Xin doesn't care about these salaries at all. It's not that he has too much money. But he felt. In the future, the whole world will be his. Why take advantage of this. but. These words fell into Jushou's ears. But he was inexplicably excited. To know. Even the emperor Liu Hong valued money very seriously.
Ju Suo stood up suddenly. A deep bow to Liu Xin. He choked and said: "The lord is worried about the humiliation. Since the lord doesn't need to pay any more. The subordinates dare not follow. From today on, the subordinates will not receive the salary."
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Gong and you. You are a clean official. You have no other industry. You don't receive salary. What to eat for your wife and children. Don't think too much about it. Do your best."
Jushou looked determined. He folded his hands and said, "The subordinate will receive half of the salary first. This is a little bit of the subordinate's intention. Please allow the Lord's grace."
Liu Xin is very kind to her men. Officials at the level of Jusao. Salaries are naturally very rich. The annual income is equivalent to about 200,000 yuan in Zhongping Tongbao. Even if it is halved. It is enough for their family to lead a superior life. Thought of this. Liu Xin did not continue to insist. Nodded and said: "Since Mr. has this heart, Liu will not say much. The half of the salary will be temporarily borrowed by the court to Mr.. It will be returned in two years."
At this time. Suddenly, guards came to report. Said it was Yang Biao begging to see you. Although Yang Biao is ranked third. In fact, there is no place in Liu Xin's group of forces. The same as those of the public officials who stayed in Chang'an. This time Zhang Liao and Mi Zhen, Guo Jia and Tang Xian married two couples. He was not invited to participate. but. Yang Biao left Chang'an for Xiangyang. He took the initiative to report to Liu Xin. So Liu Xin was not surprised by his arrival. in fact. Even if Yang Biao does not take the initiative to report. His movements can't be hidden from Liu Xin's eyes and ears.
Although Liu Xin is very busy these days. but. In order to win over these old officials as much as possible. Liu Xin still agreed to Yang Biao's request. Although Liu Xin knew that Yang Biao was coming. But I don't know why he came. therefore. I heard that Yang Biao wanted to see you. Liu Xin couldn't wait to see what new tricks he was going to play.
Yang Biao did not come alone. Accompanied by him was a handsome, well-mannered young man. Once in the study. Yang Biao pulled the shirt of that boy. The two turned over and fell to their knees. Come and bow to Liu Xin.
Liu Xin was taken aback. Even in the court to meet the emperor. There is no need to bow down. Besides, he has not yet sat on that throne. Liu Xin hurriedly said, "Master Yang. What are you doing. Get up quickly. Who is this little brother."
"The next official has already seen the Queen Mother's edict. I know that Master Liu is not only the chief in charge of the four states of Jing, Yi, Si, and Liang. He is also the regent. The next official should bow down." Yang Biao bowed to Liu Xin twice. Then he got up under the support of the boy. Pointed to the boy. Said. "This is Inuzi Yang Xiu. Because he is worried about the age of his subordinates. The journey is long. So I insisted on coming with the subordinates."
I heard that the young man beside him was Yang Xiu. Liu Xin was even more surprised. Liu Xin knew that Yang Xiu was knowledgeable. Even the fanatic Niheng looked at him with admiration. But he did not expect that he was actually Yang Biao's son. Can't help but look at him again. Nodded with a smile. It seems that he understands Yang Biao's intention.
Yang Xiu nodded when he saw Liu Xinchao. Hastily gave another salute. Said: "Cao Min Yang Xiu has seen adults."
"Haha. Master Yang. Linglang is indeed a talent." Liu Xin said while complimenting. "Liu has the intention to let Linglang take up a position in the Ministry of Rites. I don't know if Master Yang is willing to keep Linglang in Xiangyang."
Ju Xiaolian was an important way for people to enter official careers at that time. Although Yang Biao did not explicitly say how filial his son is. There are many hints in the words. and so. Liu Xin guessed it immediately. Yang Biao came all the way. He must be looking for an official position for his son.
Yang Biao ranked third. Yang Xiu can be regarded as a veritable ** in the Han Dynasty. If in peacetime. It is naturally easy for him to find an official position. There is no need for Yang Biao to speak. Someone will hand over the official hat. It's a pity in this troubled world today. No one listened to the imperial court's orders. Not to mention San Gong. Yang Biao ran all the way to ask for a birthplace for his son. It is also excusable.
Liu Xin couldn't be more clear about these situations. And he had heard of Yang Xiu's talent a long time ago. Even if Yang Biao didn't speak. Liu Xin will also arrange an official position for Yang Xiu. Moreover. Although Liu Xin established six departments. But these six are just a shelf. Many positions are still vacant. He also really needs a lot of young talents like Yang Xiu. Now Yang Biao takes the initiative to see you. For Liu Xin, it's the right thing to do. Both won the old minister. Gained talents again. The so-called kills two birds with one stone.
"Thank you Mrs. Liu for your kindness. There is no reason why the officials are not willing." Sure enough. I heard that Liu Xin wanted to arrange a position for Yang Xiu. Yang Biao was overjoyed. Pulled over Yang Xiu. Said. "Xiu'er. Hurry up and see the lord."
Yang Biao himself lives as a lieutenant. That is the official position of the imperial court. Although he claimed to be an official in front of Liu Xin. Gan lives under Liu Xin. But it is not easy to call Liu Xin the lord. but. Yang Biao knows too. The six divisions of officials, rites, households, soldiers, criminals, and labor were separate yamen established by Liu Xin outside the imperial court. Those who are in charge of the six are all of Liu Xin's cronies. Able to work in six departments. It can be regarded as Liu Xin's personal. Naturally, it should be called Liu Xin the lord.
Yang Xiu was secretly happy too. Respectfully said: "The subordinates are willing to serve the Lord. Go through all kinds of fire and water. Never die."
"Yang Xiu. Liu heard that you have outstanding talents. But. It's good to be a man. It doesn't matter if you are an official. You must be down-to-earth. Don't be proud of yourself." Liu Xin saw Yang Xiu bowed and promised. Waved his hand. Continue to say: "Master Yang. I will let Mr. Bo Xie arrange the duties of Linglang. As for what he can do in the future. It depends on his own efforts. It will not be easy for you father and son to come to Xiangyang. That's it. Please stay at the post house for a few days. Play and play. I will arrange for you to meet an old friend in two days."
Liu Xin did feel a little tired. Since this time. He was busy interviewing officials everywhere. understand situation. Assign a task. Today, it was all done with great difficulty. Cao Cao sent Wang Yun over again. He is planning to take a good rest for two days. Let's try Wang Yun again. and so. For Yang Biao's intention. He didn't ponder it carefully either. I only thought that he had made a special trip to seek an official for his son. Now his wish is fulfilled. Naturally, it is time to order to see off the guests.
Yang Biao is also an official churros. How can I fail to hear that Liu Xin is an order to dismiss a guest. He leaned hurriedly and said: "Back to your lord. Yang still has important things to report."
