The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 42: Keep Your Word!

Facing the mountain of account books, Liu Bian directly used Arabic numerals in advance and taught them to a group of civil servants.

Algorithms such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are not difficult, and it took all the civil servants to fully grasp them in half an hour, and they can draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

Cai Yi held a pen in one hand and a bamboo slip in the other, and wrote quickly, taking a while.Just calculated an account book.

"These symbols that His Majesty thought of are in conjunction with the so-called addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The calculation is indeed extremely fast, at least several times more efficient. And it is easy to understand. Even if a child learns it for a day or two, it will be enough! Your Majesty's move is really a merit for thousands of years! It will be a blessing to the world!" Cai Yi said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if this symbol has a name!" Shang Shu Ding Guan asked.

"Name?" Liu Bian rubbed his chin, thinking, it would definitely not work to call it Arabic numerals again, and he had to think of a name. I not only want to unify the big Han and coerce the country, but also spread the culture of the big Han to the world and influence to the world!

"Let's call it Han Numeral! It means that it originated in China. No matter who uses this number in the future, it will think of us big man!" Liu Bian said with bright eyes.

With the Chinese number, the work efficiency of the ministers was instantly improved, and it took less than half an hour to sort out all the account books.

"All your Majesty's finances have been sorted out, including Chachao's Zhang Yang's family property, the family property handed over by those corrupt officials, and the government's inventory!" Xun You said in a high-spirited way. Normally, these things would take at least a few days to sort out. OK!
"Let's hear it!" Liu Bian said with a serious expression.

"Yes, all the finances are equivalent to about 18 gold! The rest of the food and grass is [-] shi. In addition to the [-] soldiers' equipment, there are more than [-] sets of armor, but most of them are rusted and cannot be used. In addition, there are war horses. Three thousand horses! More than [-] mu of fertile land!" Xun You said happily.

All the ministers were startled when they heard the words, Ding Guan frowned and said: "The annual tax collected by the imperial court is not much more than these. I can't imagine that the little Shangdang is so rich?"

"It's not that Shangdang is rich, but that officials are greedy and can collect money! I plan to return most of the money to the common people and soldiers. In addition, spring plowing is coming soon, Xun You, prepare more seeds and unusable weapons in the treasury, and turn them into farm tools. Distributed to the people! In addition, all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes on the people will be abolished." Liu Bian ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xun You nodded.

"Your Majesty, would it be better to return so much money to the people? Wouldn't it be better if it was used to recruit soldiers?" A minister asked doubtfully.

"We have just taken control of a place, not to enrich our strength first, but to gain the support of the people, the army, and the people and soldiers! Only then will we be supported by them, the foundation will be stable, and various policies will be carried out without hindrance. What's more, I have already promised the soldiers, and I must never go back on my word! The emperor speaks out, and what he says is like water that has been taken out, which cannot be taken back!" Liu Bian explained.

"Your Majesty, being sympathetic to the common people and soldiers is a great man's blessing!" Ding Guan exclaimed.

"By the way, Mr. Ding, Shangdang officials have basically been dragged down, so he wronged Mr. Ding to temporarily assume the post of Shangdang prefect, and the assessment officials will be added to various posts to restore the people's livelihood of the Shangdang! Especially the spring plowing, the most important thing, Don't be careless!" Liu Bian said to Ding Duan.

With Ding Guanjin's politics, it is more than enough to govern a state, let alone a mere Shangdang.Liu Bian believes that under the hands of Ding Guan, Shangdang will be able to undergo significant changes within a year.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ding Guan knew that Liu Bian's subordinates were temporarily unavailable, so he agreed without hesitation.

So Ding Guan immediately accepted Shangdang's government affairs, selected talents, followed Liu Bian's suggestion, exempted Shangdang from taxes for a year, and issued a series of policies that benefited the people, aiming to create a prosperous Shangdang.

Time to the third day.

Outside the government office this day, there are huge crowds of people.

Not one of the [-] Shangdang troops was missing, all of them came together, and all the other Shangdang people were also crowded on the scene.

Soon, Liu Bian led a group of civil and military soldiers, and the soldiers of the imperial forest army behind him carried boxes and bags of grain and filed out.

After the things were put away, Liu Bian climbed onto a temporary high platform, cleared his throat and shouted: "The people of the Shangdang, the soldiers, Zhang Yang, the ex-prefect of the Shangdang, the fish and meat people, and there are piles of corrupt officials under him. They have been punished to the law, and I will not embezzle the seized property, and return it all to you!"

"I know that these things are far from making up for the losses of the people. Many things have been consumed by them, but I will return the land to you. Some of you may have run out of food, but in order to avoid uneven distribution of food, I set up a porridge shed here, and those who have no rice at home can come here! In addition, spring plowing is coming soon, and I will distribute seeds and farm tools to you for free, and you can get them at the county government office! Now pay the soldiers first! Pay attention to order, one Come one!"

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he stepped down and personally paid the soldiers.

"Really give us military salaries? I thought it was a good word from the emperor to recruit us!"

"Your Majesty is really trustworthy, he speaks his words, and have you seen that His Majesty personally pays us the military salary? Then I will be able to see His Majesty at a close distance later?" a Shangdang soldier said excitedly.

"The fertile land that was cheated by the corrupt officials can come back?" a commoner exclaimed in surprise.

"Damn corrupt officials, they ate all our food, and they used up the money. The family couldn't open the pot. Fortunately, His Majesty set up a porridge shed, and I must starve to death!"

"Originally, all the seeds in my family were eaten. Fortunately, His Majesty promised to distribute the seeds and agricultural tools. This year, I don't have to starve to death. I finally have some hope!"

"There is more than hope? Didn't you see that the tax is exempted? That is to say, this year's harvest does not have to be paid. If the harvest is good, you won't have to go hungry for a year!"

"Then which policy is not beneficial to us? With His Majesty governing the Shangdang, in my opinion, our happy days are not far away!"

Under the stage, the soldiers and the common people talked a lot!
On Liu Bian's side, Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang, was removed by tricks.Afterwards, the hearts of the army and the people were gained, and Shangdang gradually calmed down.

Besides Cao Cao, Cao Cao Wang Yue was ordered to go to Xihe County and Shang County to establish Jinyiwei.

Although Liu Bian's order was to order Cao Cao to assist Wang Yue in establishing Jinyiwei.But Cao Cao knew that it was Liu Bian who asked him to come forward.

Shangjun and Xihe County are mostly controlled by aristocratic families. Although they are not big aristocratic families, there are countless small aristocratic families.Although there are no prefects in these two counties, the aristocratic families control various positions.

Cao Cao knew that Liu Bian sent him here to help Wang Yue, and the most important thing was to deal with the aristocratic family and control the two counties.

But dealing with aristocratic families is not that simple. First of all, if you want to control these two counties, you need a name, at least the official position of prefect, in order to control them reasonably.But Liu Bian, a powerless emperor, appointed Cao Cao as the prefect, and the aristocratic families of the two counties would not agree, why?Because you are not afraid of Liu Bian, I disagree, so what if you are the emperor?
Therefore, Liu Bian first controlled the Shangdang, and with the army, he could be deterred.Okay, I'm appointing the prefect now, don't you respect?I sent troops to attack you, and I just had an excuse.But it will take a lot of effort to completely control the two counties in the hands of the family.

Therefore, Cao Cao first brought 100 people to Xihe County, and Wang Yue led 100 people to Shang County.According to Liu Bian's instructions, subdue the local snakeheads, collect news from the aristocratic family, and wait for Liu Bian's appointment.

After arriving in Xihe County, Cao Cao realized that his men were not enough. He himself was not strong in force, and the hundred rangers under him were only average. If there was any danger, he would not be able to protect himself.

So Cao Cao thought of his brothers in the family.Younger brother Cao Bin, and family brother Cao Ren Cao Hong are outstanding commanders and proficient in martial arts. They are all-round talents.

There are also two brothers Xiahou, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, with extraordinary martial arts. Cao Cao thought, although these two brothers are not as powerful as Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi, they are still at the level of Li Xianzhong!

If a few brothers in the family are willing to come to help His Majesty, it will undoubtedly be much easier, and His Majesty will receive more people from His Majesty!
Therefore, Cao Cao wrote several letters of dismissal, ordered some rangers to take them back to their hometown, and invited some brothers to come to Bingzhou to assist Liu Bian and revive the great man!
