The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 212 Looking for money
Although Macheng soldiers and horses did not join Liu Bei's group before the war, their heroic performance won everyone's hearts and bought a lot of time for Chen Ziming's victory in the defense of Youzhou.

After the war, Tian Yu and Yan Gang officially joined the Liu Bei Group, and Liu Bei also took over the compensation for the soldiers who died in the battle in Macheng. This move also made the people of Youzhou deeply admire Liu Bei, and they accepted Liu Bei's rule.

"After this battle, Budugen, king of Xianbei, suffered a great loss in strength, which caused the siege of various tribes in Xianbei. The strongest of them was the Kebineng tribe, who had a great chance to become the new king of the Xianbei tribe. However, within ten years, the Xianbei tribe was unable to go south to plunder. " Xianbei is not much better than Wu Henglai, but the good thing about Xianbei is that there is a slightly stronger Ke Bineng.

"Ke Bineng, let you live longer." Chen Ziming remembered that Ke Bineng unified the Xianbei and Wuheng tribes, and finally defeated the Southern Huns, replaced the overlord Huns, and became the king of the grassland. Dude, Chen Ziming decided to take some time to kill Ke Bineng, otherwise he would spend time and effort dealing with the even more terrifying Xianbei tribe in the future.

"The last is the battle for Youzhou with Yuan Shao, which can be divided into three battles, the battle of Yangle City, the battle of Wuling Mountain, and the battle of Macheng. Among them, the battle of Yangle and Wuling Mountain can be divided into one battle , were all led by Mr. Ziming. In this battle, [-] enemies were killed and countless enemies were injured. General Gan Ning even shot and wounded Yuan Shao, which eventually caused Yuan Shao to be seriously injured and died. It can be called a great victory.

The Battle of Macheng was commanded by General Zhang Fei. He fought against Yuan Shao's Yingjie and Zhang Nan's [-] troops. He killed [-] enemies and lost [-] himself. It was also a big victory.

After the two battles, Yuan Shao died and withdrew from Youzhou, and Mr. Ziming's army occupied Youzhou. Since then, the seven-month defense of Youzhou ended with our army's complete victory. "After Chen Gong finished speaking, he paused, picked up a piece of rice paper again, and said with a serious face:

"In Youzhou's defensive battle, adding up all the battlefields, our army had 18 dead soldiers and 610 generals, and consumed countless food and soldiers. All kinds of war reserves in Qingzhou, Xuzhou and other places were exhausted. His vitality was seriously injured, and he was unable to launch a campaign of more than 23 troops within a year." Although none of the commanding generals died in battle, at most they suffered a little injury, but those front-line commanding generals suffered heavy casualties, and those were all in one battle after another. The one who slowly rises in the middle is the real pillar of Liu Bei's army.

These first-line generals are all very qualified professional generals. If they are trained well, they will have a great chance to grow up. Although they may not be as good as Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, who are born with abnormal talents, they are still good for Gao Shun and Chen Dao. possible.

After Chen Gong finished reading the data on the rice paper, the three of them were silent. Although they won a big victory, the death data is too unacceptable.

Those who died in battle and those who were too seriously injured to return to the army lost almost 20 troops.These are the young and strong people of the big man. How many 20 are there in the whole big man?

"It is ordered that the soldiers who died in the war be buried generously, and I will go to worship them in person. It is also ordered that all the soldiers who died in the war will be doubled in pensions. All localities must treat their families well, let their children go to school for free, and treat diseases for their families free of charge. A certain amount of money and food to ensure that they live without worry." After a period of silence, Liu Bei sent a heavy order to the four directions.

"My lord, after a year of war, a lot of money and food have been consumed, and the pensions for the soldiers who died in battle are no longer enough. Many places need a lot of money to resume production. Now the inventory may not be able to support such a huge expenditure." After hearing Liu Bei's words, Chen Gong did not I think Liu Bei did something wrong, but now there is really no money in the treasury.

Liu Bei's pensions for soldiers were already very high, but now they are doubled. Where did so much money come from.The Liu Bei Group seems to be facing the same predicament after the Youzhou Defense War that year. If they can't handle it, there will be great turmoil.

"Ziming..." After listening to Chen Gong's words, Liu Bei turned his head to look at Chen Ziming helplessly, hoping that Chen Ziming could come up with a solution. From Liu Bei's point of view, there is nothing that can stop Chen Ziming of.

"Two ways. One, sell the various production technologies in your hands, let those big rich businessmen and big clans buy them with money, and at the same time relax the conditions for building factories, you can resell some factories with high profits to those capable rich businessmen at a high price and clan.

Second, to borrow money, the eldest brother will come forward to borrow money from clans and businessmen. The loan period can be set at two to five years, and a certain amount of interest compensation can be given on the date of repayment, especially for those clans that have a lot of spare money in the clan. The lord came forward to let them lend the money, and after three to five years, they could return the principal with interest. "

The method of borrowing money is the national debt of later generations, but it cannot be called a national debt now, after all, Liu Bei has not yet established the country.Moreover, Chen Ziming also wanted to go through this incident and ask to see those guys who didn't know how to advance or retreat among the clans under Liu Bei's rule, so he would take them under his knife.

For the ruler, the clan has advantages and disadvantages. If it is used well, it will be a great help. If it is not used well, it will be the root of the country's subjugation.

Although the clan has a great role in the rule of the feudal society, the rule of the current Liu Bei Group is not as great as imagined. Because of the scale and systematization of education, the talents needed under Liu Bei's rule no longer depend on those clans. Therefore, Chen Ziming believes that the clan can gradually withdraw from the stage of history.

With a good vision, you can change to a family of merchants. These Chen Ziming absolutely support it, but those diehards who want to extend their hands to rule are courting death.

"Okay, Gongtai, let's get these two things done quickly, and Ziming takes time to pay attention. The money obtained will be given to the soldiers who died in the war first, and then given to the local needs." Liu Bei heard. With a big swing of his hand, he threw everything at Chen Gong and Chen Ziming, leaving Chen Ziming speechless for a while. Damn it was me who oppressed others, when did I get oppressed by others.

"Brother, those wealthy businessmen of the clan must rely on the big brother to show up. They are the real rich people." Chen Ziming quit immediately, and Liu Bei couldn't be idle. Let Liu Bei do the publicity.

Not long after he came back, Chen Ziming started to get busy again. There was no other way. For the pricing of various technologies, only Chen Ziming knew best. Those were valuable, those were not, and those could make a lot of money. Chen Ziming could come up with a standard at a glance, so Technically, Chen Ziming personally checks it.

As for the matter of borrowing money, Liu Bei is going to hold a grand banquet in Linzi ten days later, inviting all wealthy merchants of the clans under Liu Bei's rule to participate, and at the same time send invitations to those wealthy merchants who are interested in developing in Qingzhou and other places.
