Adou who can afford it

Zhao Yun took over the Dragon Weaving City, as well as all the troops around the Dragon Weaving and the twelve counties of Jiaozhi, these cities were very close, and within two days, the county lieutenants in charge of military affairs in each county gathered in the Dragon Weaving City.

Looking at the list of these county lieutenants, nine of the twelve county lieutenants have the surname Shi and two have the surname Huan, and this Huan family is the only family in Jiaozhou that is related to the Shi family.

There is no need to guess, the situation in the other counties is probably similar to the situation in Jiaozhi County, and the officials are almost monopolized by these families, of course, the whole world is like this.

If a poor child wants to get ahead, it is impossible.

Zhao Yun did not take action against these county lieutenants, but inquired about the military situation in each county one by one, and admonished them to let them go back to perform their duties after serving General Zuo in the future.

This made these panicked county lieutenants breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they were secretly glad that the powerful power of the family behind them made Liu Bei dare not do anything to them.

"There is no need to exclude, we still need to rely on the Shi family to control Jiaozhou. Nothing can be done overnight. If Zilong, you are now dismissed from these county lieutenants, after we leave, the newly appointed county lieutenants you promoted will definitely be vacated. It's a lot of trouble, and the best way now is to let the Shi family continue to be the lord of Jiaozhou in secret. As long as Shixie dies, Jiaozhou will not have enough to worry about. That night, Zhao Yun and Pang Tong discussed many matters in the room to take over Jiaozhou.

Zhao Yun sighed: "That's the only way, how about your side, military advisor?"

Pang Tong said: "There is no obstacle, we have come all the way to Jiaozhou with the army for the expedition, and Shixie knows what we need." He was very cooperative and everything went smoothly. In the future, the taxes of the counties will be directly transported to Jingzhou, and Shixie also took out the twenty years of annual state taxes taken by other scholars. "

Twenty years?" Zhao Yun said in surprise.

"The young master also said that he would force Shi Xie to take out the savings of the Shi family for thirty years, otherwise the three thousand soldiers would go out for nothing, and I talked with Shi Xie for a long time before finalizing the twenty years of taxes. The amount of taxes paid in these 20 years is determined by the total amount of taxes paid this year. Pang Tong said.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but say: "That's still a loss." Twenty years ago, Jiaozhou's population was much larger than it is now. "

Although there are fewer wars in Jiaozhou, it has experienced decades of war since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it is impossible to maintain the population of decades ago.

The population is decreasing year by year, and this tax is naturally decreasing year by year.

However, twenty years of taxation is still equivalent to cutting meat on the Shi family, but it is still within the scope of Shi Xie's bearing. Shi Xie was a smart man, once he resisted, Liu Bei's army went south, and he lost more than just the wealth he had accumulated in the past twenty years.

"How much is the total amount of taxes accumulated in the past 20 years?" Zhao Yun asked.

Pang Tong said with a smile: "It can alleviate the current lord's urgent need to use money, and there is no need to worry about money in the next five years, and Jiaozhou can still continue to produce money." "

If Liu Chan is here, he will definitely smile and close his mouth, five years later, Liu Bei just won Yizhou, Yizhou is a piece of fat meat that is fatter than Jiaozhou, under Liu Zhang's rule over the years, as the country of abundance, Yizhou, the treasury has a huge amount of money, and there are countless treasures, Liu Bei won Yizhou, sitting on Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, and Yizhou, and the strength is strong enough to resist Cao Cao.

The winter of the fifteenth year of Jian'an is quietly coming, and Jiaozhou, as a humid and hot environment, although the winter is coming, it does not feel any cold.

The temperature of this era is higher than that of Liu Chan's previous life, so it is still very comfortable in the winter in Jiaozhou.

Liu Chan this half a year in Panyu City out of the food, has already been popular all over the streets and alleys of Panyu City, Liu Chan firmly believes that the wisdom of the working people is infinite, the production method of these delicacies to teach these people, the people will inevitably burst out of infinite wisdom, on the basis of Professor Liu Chan to make more delicious food.

After Liu Chan arrived, lobsters, crabs, oysters, geoducks and other foods were accepted by the broad masses of the people.

The only drawback is that there is no chili pepper, but thanks to the near sea of Panyu, there are business contacts with the outside world, and there is no shortage of spices.

With the abundance of spices, many things can be made even more delicious.

At the time of parting, Shiwu took Liu Chan's hand, almost heartbroken: "Virtuous nephew, I really don't want you to leave Panyu, I feel sad when I think that I won't be able to eat the food you made by your nephew in the future." "

When I first met, although Shiwu was old, he was tall, strong and burly, and he was extraordinary, but in the past half a year, he was fed a ball by Liu Chan, and the carriage that pulled him changed from two horses to four horses, and the wheels were reinforced.

Liu Chan's eyes were also red, and he left Panyu and returned to Jingzhou, where is there so much seafood and fruits to eat.

"Uncle, I can't go if I don't go. After handing over the state matter, I have to follow the army back to Jingzhou as soon as possible. Liu Chan was also very helpless.

Shiwu was even more helpless: "That's the same." If there is a chance in the future, he must come to Panyu to stay for a while.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely come. But uncle, the little nephew still has something to say to his uncle before leaving.

"If there is anything that you and I can't say between you and me, I will listen to my uncle.

Liu Chan said earnestly: "Uncle, the location of Panyu is unique, there is Yushui in the west, connecting Cangwu and Yulin, Yushui water system Lishui leads to Jingzhou, Yushui warm water passes Yizhou, and Panyu has the convenience of shipping. Uncle, Panyu can become a big city, the largest city in Jiaozhou, and even the largest city in the south, it just depends on whether you have this ambition.

Speaking of business, Shiwu immediately became dignified, and said to Liu Chan: "The geographical location of Panyu is indeed good, but the population is too small, and it is difficult to develop and grow. "

Uncle, let's build and expand the dock first. If you reduce the tax on the merchant ships entering this wharf, believe me, in a few years, Panyu City will be a different scene. Liu Chan said.

Only when the city is prosperous can it attract more people, which Shiwu obviously did not think.

Liu Chan didn't say much, and after saying goodbye to Shiwu, he embarked on the road back to Guangxin City, where Liu Chan would meet Zhao Yun and Pang Tong.

Panyu is the Guangzhou of later generations, different from the Pearl River estuary, now Panyu is a sea outside the city, Shunde, Foshan, Shenzhen and other places are still the vast sea, Hong Kong and Macao are still lonely islands in the sea, merchant ships from all over the world are gathered in the wharf outside Panyu City, most of these merchant ships come from South Asia and Southeast Asia, Liu Chan at first thought that the chaotic era of the late Han Dynasty, cut off from the outside world, but seeing these dark-skinned, even white-skinned people speaking unknown words, Liu Chan's concept was broken.

After seeing it with his own eyes, many common senses were broken, such as the black race, Liu Chan killed and did not believe that there were black people in Southeast Asia, until he saw a group of black people jumping up and down from the dilapidated ship of the long voyage, and after knowing where they came from through the translator, Liu Chan's common sense was subverted again.

Most of the Kunlun slaves of the later Tang Dynasty came from Southeast Asia.

Chen Zhi spent half a year training 5,000 soldiers in Guangxin City, the quality of the army of 5,000 people is really worrying, the youngest is ten years old, the oldest is fifty-six years old, this is still Wu Ju ordered to forcibly recruit, and then promised to exempt from three years of conscription, if you participate in the war and die in battle, you can be exempted from conscription for the whole family, so you can find 5,000 people.

Although the quality is worrying, the combat effectiveness is still a little, which is enough to deal with such a small battle as the barbarian rebellion.

"Why don't you use barbarians, barbarians are strong and strong, and they are not afraid of death, how can there be a better source of soldiers than this. When Liu Chan returned to Guangxin City, Zhao Yun and Pang Tong had not yet arrived.

Seeing the hard training of these old and weak soldiers, Liu Chan felt that Chen Zhi was creating evil.

Chen Zhi was surprised: "We trained these soldiers to guard against barbarians and soldiers, and to use barbarian ...... Many barbarians wear a pair of pants with Shixie.

Liu Chan said helplessly to Chen Zhi: "Then we can win them over, these barbarians benefit from the immediate benefits, as long as they are given enough benefits, their hearts will definitely be on our side, it is difficult to deal with all the barbarians in Jiaozhou, and it is easy to deal with two or three barbarians." "

The ordinary barbarians of the barbarians hope to have enough to eat and have a stable source of food, but they can't farm, and even if they can farm, they can't buy farm tools, because the Han people have very strict control over weapons and farm tools.

The barbarian warriors were eager to obtain weapons and armor made by the Han Chinese, but the weapons and armor were more strictly controlled than agricultural tools.

Wu Ju was in Cangwu for seven or eight years, and there were naturally barbarians who were good friends with him, and after a little contact and some benefits, the three tribes produced a total of two thousand barbarian soldiers, and they gathered in the barracks outside the city.

The originally recruited Han soldiers selected 3,000 young and strong, and still formed an army of 5,000 people, with the addition of these two thousand barbarian soldiers, the army soldiers finally could not see the old, weak, sick and disabled.

It's just that these two thousand barbarians are too difficult to manage.

In order to better manage, Chen Zhi split and mixed the barbarians of the three barbarians, and tried not to let too many of the same clan in a team.

At the same time, he also selected barbarian warriors who knew how to speak Chinese to serve as officers.

"In this way, when Uncle Yun comes back with his troops and pulls three thousand people to shock in front of these five thousand people, these barbarian warriors will not have much courage to make trouble. "
