Xuande

Chapter 378 Let Xuande enter Shu to quell the rebellion?

Before leaving, Liu Yan went to see Dong Fu, told him about the incident, and asked if there was any possibility of changing the status quo.

Regarding this situation, Dong Fu was quite speechless.

I'm just a psychic magician, you don't really think that I can influence the government, do you?
Dong Fu didn't dare to say that Yizhou was a son of heaven in front of Liu Hong, it was just a joke.

He could only deal with Liu Yan with good words, gave up on continuing to "teach" Liu Yan, and continued to think about how he should bring down that bastard Xi Jian.

But before he could think of any solution, on the fourth day after Liu Yu, Liu Yan and others set off to leave Luoyang, the latest news came from Yizhou.

The Yellow Turban Army broke out in Yizhou.

A Yizhou native named Ma Xiang pulled up an army to cause chaos in Yizhou. He claimed to be a subordinate of Zhang Jiao of Taipingdao, and led his subordinates to fight in yellow scarves.

He first attacked Mianzhu, killed Mianzhuling, and then attacked Luoxian County, killing Yizhou governor Xi Jian who was hated by Yizhou people.

Then his power rose sharply, and he attacked Shu County, Qianwei County, and Ba County. In ten months, the three counties were destroyed.

Yizhou is in chaos, not just a little bit.

After the news came, Liu Hong was speechless.

For a moment, he wanted to slap his own mouth.

It's not good to say anything, why do you have to say "There are only thieves in Yizhou"?

Is God against me too?
Why is it that things here are just getting a little bit of a clue, and there is a mess over there that I need to worry about?
Why is the world full of traitors?

why?
Liu Hong's mentality collapsed.

So when Zhang Rang asked him what he thought about this matter, Liu Hong just lay on the cushion and didn't speak.

"His Majesty?"

"Grandpa, do you think I really did a lot of things that angered and hated others, and that's why God punished me?"

"Why does His Majesty say that?"

"If not, why are there always so many disasters that I can't deal with? Why can't I always live a few days of peace? I just want to live a few days of peace!"

"Your Majesty, these are all false words, Your Majesty must not be troubled by this."

Zhang Rang said slowly: "How can His Majesty deal with major national affairs alone? If so, why does the court spend money to support so many officials?"

Zhang Rang is absolutely confident in saying this.

Because he knew very well that Liu Hong was definitely not the only one who did bad things, and Liu Hong did not do so many bad things. If you really want to say why the country has become corrupted to this point, it is definitely not the "credit" of Liu Hong alone.

So it doesn't make any sense to say something like punishing Liu Hong.

"Then why did the big man become what he is today? Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and now Yizhou, I... what should I do to make the world stable?"

Liu Hong collapsed on the ground with a slumped face, like a salted fish that had lost its dream.

Looking at Liu Hong's salty fish appearance, Zhang Rang was also quite helpless.

But as a die-hard supporter of Liu Hong, he must give his own advice.

"Then, Your Majesty, do you want to appoint another Yizhou shepherd?"

"Appoint again? Appoint the state shepherd again, and I'll just turn the whole big man back into enfeoffment of nations!"

Liu Hong thumped the ground hard: "Send troops, send troops to hunt down thieves, don't worry about other things, just send troops..."

"But the imperial court spends..."

"what!!!"

Liu Hong opened his mouth and yelled, the cry contained three points of depression, three points of unwillingness, three points of pain and one point of confusion, and Zhang Rang could hear it.

The two were silent with each other for a while.

Suddenly, Zhang Rang's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, I don't know if it is feasible."

Liu Hong lay paralyzed on the cushion, motionless.

"What suggestion? Say it."

"I feel that maybe we can hand over the matter of suppressing the rebellion in Yizhou to Liu Xuande."

"Xuande?"

Upon hearing Liu Bei's name, Liu Hong sat up straight from the cushion, his eyes lit up: "Grandpa, what are you thinking? Could it be that you want to transfer Xuande to Yizhou to be a shepherd in Yizhou?"

"That's not so."

Zhang Rang shook his head: "He still has a lot of things to do in Liangzhou, Liangzhou will not be completely stable so soon, and there is no big chaos in Yizhou, so it would be a bit overkill for him to go to Yizhou to be a shepherd in Yizhou. What I mean by this minister is to let Liu Xuande enter Shu to suppress the rebellion."

"Let Xuande enter Shu to quell the rebellion?"

Liu Hong frowned and said, "Grandfather, what do you mean, let Xuande go to Sichuan to put down the rebellion in the name of General Chariot?"

"Yes."

Zhang Rang nodded and said: "I remember that when I was filial to the emperor, there were barbarians in Jiujiang. At that time, the imperial court appointed Feng Yu, the imperial censor, to supervise Yang and Xu Erzhou soldiers to attack the barbarians in Jiujiang. I thought that this example could be followed. Liu Xuande In the name of General Cheqi, he took the festival to supervise Liang and Yizhou soldiers to attack Yizhou bandits.

Entering Yizhou from Liangzhou ruled by Liu Xuande is relatively short. Although the road is difficult, it is much faster than the imperial court dispatching troops from Luoyang to Yizhou to suppress the rebellion, and it can save military expenses. As for Liu Xuande, the imperial court should treat Liu Xuande well. It's all good! "

Liu Hong became happier the more he listened, and nodded repeatedly.

"Grandfather is right. If I leave this matter to Xuande, I can sit back and relax! Also...Grandfather, the income from selling salt should be good recently, right? If possible, you can ask Xuande Whether the frontier’s finances are sufficient.”

Zhang Rang blinked and immediately understood what Liu Hong meant.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Xuande is loyal to the emperor and the country, so he must understand the difficulties of the court. The court's expenses are difficult, and it is difficult to allocate all the military expenses. So if he can help out a little bit, I will be very happy."

As soon as Liu Hong changed his attitude of salted fish that had no dreams just now, he smiled all over his face.

Even Zhang Rang couldn't stand this posture.

You can't take a useful one and use it to death, can you?

Is this too much?

Zhang Rang felt it was wrong, so he persuaded him a few words, saying that Liu Bei's side was not easy, and it would be a bit too much for the country to use Liu Bei's own pocket to subsidize it.

Liu Hong thought about it for a while, and felt that his behavior seemed a little inappropriate, but if he really wanted to cut his own body, he was in so much pain that he couldn't bear it.

There is not enough money in the national treasury, but he has a lot of money in his personal small wallet, but he feels that it is his own money and should not be used for state affairs, otherwise it is equivalent to sending money directly to the insects.

After thinking about it, Liu Hong's business-savvy brain started spinning at high speed.

"Grandpa, Liangzhou fine salt hasn't been transported to Yizhou for sale yet, has it?"

"That's the thing, because the road is difficult, so...Your Majesty, could it be that..."

"Ah."

Liu Hong nodded: "Sichuan and Shu Yinfu, if they can sell Liangzhou fine salt to Sichuan and Shu, they will definitely earn a lot of money. Grandpa, isn't the previous governor of Yizhou dead? Then choose a suitable candidate. He was arranged to be the governor of Yizhou.

Although the imperial court couldn't spend a lot of money to help Xuande put down the rebellion, but with Xuande's ability, how easy is it to make money?Let this new governor of Yizhou assist Xuande in selling fine salt to Yizhou, wouldn't that be enough? "

Zhang Rang thought about it, and felt that what Liu Hong said was reasonable.

"It's possible, but the roads in Yizhou are difficult, and it's not easy to sell them. Moreover, there are salt wells in Yizhou, and there is no shortage of salt in itself. This..."

"Xuande must have a solution."

Liu Hong waved his hand and said with a smile: "And this time, you send someone to tell Xuande that I only want [-]% of the profits from selling salt in Sichuan and Sichuan, and he takes [-]%. Has Xuande paid for it?"

Looking at Liu Hong's expression of "You're making a lot of money", Zhang Rang smiled helplessly.

"Your Majesty is wise."

He could only say that, otherwise what else could he do?

Opening up the market is not an easy task, it requires a lot of energy to complete, and all the expenses during the period are borne by Liu Bei. After the completion, Liu Hong makes money lying down. Isn't such a comfortable thing considered a big profit?
But who made him the emperor?

Although I wanted to smoke the fog cutter, what came out was Calamity Relief and Sky Spine... By the way, how can the Sky Spine and Sky Pride be used?I heard that they are very powerful weapons.
