Kill monsters in the Three Kingdoms and upgrade to become God of War

Chapter 571 Zhang Mo's Wisdom

A large battle directly caused 20 casualties, consumed countless supplies, and all three parties entered a period of rest.

The imperial court lost Jingzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou, but judging from the intelligence, Ma Chao actually took the opportunity to invade Bingzhou. Seeing that Yuan Shao's large number of troops were dragged in the three prefectures of Youyan and Qingzhou, he directly occupied Shangdang County, Shangjun, Xihe County, Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County and Dingxiang County, Gao Gan and the Heishan Army, worked hard to defend Yanmen County and Taiyuan County.

Ma Chao's victories also made those aristocratic families who planned to attack Liu Ting obediently shut up.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after this battle, it may not be possible to fight within three to five years.Whether it is conscription or training, it takes time.Among them, Qingzhou and Yanzhou are seriously underpopulated, and Li Ming will give up the two states, which is also due to this factor.

Because of the previous famine, a large number of people have flowed into Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and even Yangzhou farther away. Jiangdong has indeed not been in turmoil for a long time. As a result, Danyang County, Wu County, and Kuaiji County have become the most prosperous places in the world, no less than Chang'an.

"Compared to the cost of conscription and training, the internal affairs of the new site are the most costly. In the past, it was customary to use corvee to complete the infrastructure construction, but now the lord advocates the concept of using work for relief, and employing people must pay remuneration. , which just increased the consumption a lot." Zhang Zhao directly protested to Li Ming.

"Zibu, you have been in charge of money and food for a while, don't you know the benefits of working for relief and paying the employer?" Li Ming asked directly.

"This is also the biggest headache for my subordinates. Our territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the profits from foreign trade are naturally getting smaller and smaller. The profits of the chamber of commerce are declining, and the private taxation has not been able to make up for this gap..." Zhang Zhaotan Take a breath.

"No matter what, we have won the rich place of Jingzhou. It will definitely become an important tax provider in three years at most. But I am more worried that they will become the main force of scientific research...Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, Yuzhou and The education in this part of Xuzhou must be further strengthened!" Li Ming was a little depressed.

Kuaiji County is located in Zhejiang Province, and Jingzhou is in Hunan Province. Both provinces are the concentration places of later scholars.Mainly in the Xiangyang area, various private schools abound; Needless to say, Kuaiji County, after enjoying the sweetness of the scientific research, various private schools are also opening continuously. The place where the style of study flourishes.

Relatively speaking, other places, such as Xuzhou and Jiaozhou, have a relatively poor academic style; Yuzhou, which had the most prosperous academic style and the most private schools, has also begun to decline, and the academic style is still strong, but in terms of teaching, it has lagged behind Kuaiji County and slightly inferior to In Jingzhou, the reason is that a large number of literati and aristocratic families returned or came to the Xiangyang area of ​​Jingzhou for refuge.

"There is no way to avoid this, either to limit the number of candidates in these two places, or to raise the admission standards for the rural examinations in these two places!" Zhang Zhao shook his head, this is Cai Yong's business, not within his scope of authority.

"It seems like this is the only way to go!" Li Ming was helpless, and later generations used these two methods to restrict him.

"My lord..." It was rare to see Li Ming pause, and Xu Chu outside took the opportunity to say, "Lu Bu and Zhang Mo have been fighting for two hours, shouldn't we stop it?"

"That's their son-in-law's business. If you can't beat them to death, let them continue to fight!" Li Ming spread his hands. He didn't bother to take care of Zhang Mo's fault. That is.

"My lord... the subordinates are not trying to persuade the fight, but if they continue to fight, the yard of the yamen will be destroyed!" Xu Chu said with an aggrieved look, the martial arts field in the yard is where the guards rest and communicate. An important place is coming.

"...Continue to let them fight, but don't forget to let them lose money afterwards!" Li Ming was silent for three seconds, then said casually.Zhang Mo brought back a lot of gold and silver when he went to the Wa Kingdom, according to the regulations, [-]% belonged to him, so he made a lot of money!

"Yes..." Xu Chu nodded, since Li Ming had spoken, let them continue the fight.

Li Ming continued to listen to Zhang Zhao's grievances. The financial problem tortured this uncle to death, and he felt powerless.On the other side of the courtyard, the rumble has never stopped, showing the fierce battle.

At this moment in the courtyard, Lu Bu, who had heard that his daughter had returned safely, came back to report on his work and had the opportunity to read books. He wanted to have a good reunion with his family, but what did he hear?The daughter wants to marry someone else as a concubine?Still approved of this person? !

What's more important is that this person is not a child of a noble family, but a domestic slave!A house slave!
As one of the strong men in China, it is naturally impossible for Lu Bu to allow his daughter to marry a domestic slave as a concubine. Not to mention his embarrassment, I am afraid that Lu Qiling will be ridiculed in the future.

Naturally, they found the instigator, and then raised the meaning of the competition, regardless of whether they agreed or disagreed, they went straight to it.No, I have been playing in the yard for two hours, more than four hours.

"Check, it's almost there?" Zhang Mo panted heavily, as if he was at the end of his battle.

"You're a bit capable!" Lu Bu looked at Zhang Mo with great interest, "With your strength, you can definitely start a middle-class family, so why are you willing to be a house slave? Do you know that this will belittle Ling'er? identity?"

"If they want to laugh, let them laugh!" Zhang Mo panted heavily. He knew that Lu Bu didn't want to fight anymore. He didn't want to fight two hours ago. During that time, he suffered three fatal injuries. Lu Bu obviously meant it. .An hour later, the tone said that he was desperate, rather that he couldn't swallow his breath. He was obviously unwilling to let his daughter be cheated away by a wild boy.

After a pause, he continued: "Zhang was born in a humble background, and now everything is bestowed by the Patriarch. Without the Patriarch to stand in front of him, General Lu, do you think anyone in the world would take a serious look at Zhang Mo? No! Not to mention whether Cai Yong will agree to my marriage with Yan'er, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to know Yan'er, this is the reality!
The most important thing is that since the Patriarch values ​​it so much and promotes Zhang, he should also be loyal to him. Only loyalty is the most valuable thing that Zhang can offer.The key is that the higher the status of the patriarch, the more he needs subordinates who can be trusted."

Having said that, he didn't continue talking. Lu Bu is not stupid, so he can guess it naturally.

Sure enough, Lu Bu's face was cloudy and uncertain. He had suffered from betrayal of loyalty. If it wasn't for Li Ming, he would not be trusted anywhere.A person without loyalty is fine, but a peerless strong man without loyalty will only make people fearful.If he reuses and doesn't trust him, he feels that he has had enough, otherwise he wouldn't just be the prince himself.

Zhang Mo was right, he came from a humble background, and the most valuable thing about him was 'loyalty'.

There is another sentence that he must also admit.It is also very important to choose a good patriarch. No one thought that Li Ming would come to this point, and even many people were not optimistic about him at the beginning.A wild boy from a poor family who was lucky enough to join the command of Zhu Jun, who is also from a poor family, who would have thought that he has now become a prince who ruled the three major regions of the Central Plains, Wuyue, and Jingxiang?
Even today, Li Ming's ascension to the throne one day seems to be predictable... Many people think that Zhang Mo is stupid and gave up the chance to be released, the chance to be independent, and the chance to go further.

"Maybe you are the smartest one!" Lu Bu smiled and looked at Zhang Mo.

"It's not that Zhang is smart, it's just that I have nothing from the beginning, and I'm not afraid of having nothing again!" Zhang Mo laughed.

　The part about Zhang Mo on Wa Island will be written as a side story. After all, the protagonist of this book is Li Ming, so there is no need for ten chapters and twenty chapters dedicated to Zhang Mo in the main story.
