I am a boss in the Three Kingdoms [System]

In November of the second year of Chuping, Mi Ren made an inventory of the imperial court's finances for this year.

Previously when Mi Eun sent troops, Xun Yu promoted forms in the court, and this is the kind of account books that will be sent to Mi Eun.Simple and clear, at a glance.

Sugar, tea, wine and other goods are specially supplied to the gentry, and they don’t sell much, but the profits are extremely high; salt accounts for the bulk of the finances, and half a year is worth the tax for the usual three years.

This is still the result of fearing that the people will be dazzled by the half-price salt and rushing to buy too much at one time, and in order to prevent the salt dealer from buying and selling, so the buyers are required to register their names and the purchase is restricted.

After more than half a year, the people basically believed that the imperial court would continue to sell such salt, and they would not rush to buy it at ease.

Mi Rian revoked the purchase restriction order and resumed normal trading.

This year's grain production is not good, but the money recovered from the gentry is really considerable, and many things can be done.

He first allocated a small amount of money to Ding Yuan and Lu Zhi respectively, so that they could open more colleges in the state to train talents.As for the model of the school, it mainly refers to Xuzhou Confucianism Academy.

——In the early stage, it was built with the support of the imperial court, and teachers of various subjects were recruited.After the equipment is fully equipped, students and Shu Xiu will be recruited, and a virtuous circle of self-employment will gradually be formed.

Secondly, due to the shortage of military treasury, Mi Ren ordered to reduce the palace expenses.Reduce the 3000 million yuan used for the emperor's expenses every month to 2000 million.The remaining 1000 million will be filled into the military treasury.

The money spent on the emperor has always been determined by the number of people in the palace.The first emperor's harem was full, and he was absurdly indulged in pleasure, spending at least 8000 yuan a month, and sometimes as high as [-] million yuan.

So the huge treasury was overwhelmed.

Today's son Liu Xie was only a seven-year-old child, and his biological mother died when he was born. After Dong Zhuo entered the palace, the Empress Dowager Dong who raised him died of a serious illness, and he had no relatives.His father's harem had long been harmed by Dong Zhuo, and later he fled into Chang'an, and each of them was given a sum of money when they were dismissed.

Some officials objected, thinking that this is the ancestral system and should not be reduced so much at once.

Mi Yan then asked back: "Everyone, do you still remember what was paid for the military salary this year?"

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yang Biao said, "It's salt, cotton."

"That's right, it's salt and cotton." Mi Rian said calmly. "Salt is made by the imperial court with my prescription, and cotton is planted by my subordinates."

"I led people to fight the battle, and I also paid the army's military salary." He said coldly, "Then, what role does the imperial court play in it?"

"Is the imperial surname Mi?"

These words were like thunder, and all the officials were so ashamed that they hid their faces and remained silent.

After the successful promulgation of these two policies, Mi Ren used Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing in Luoyang five years ago as the reason that he had "cured [-] patients with typhoid fever with Wushi powder", respected him as a "sage of medicine" and granted him the title of Nirvana. Yanghou, seven hundred food towns.

Zhang Zhongjing, who received the edict, was stunned.

He is young and highly skilled in medicine, and in recent years he has been often accompanied by the army as a military doctor.Over the past few years, not only have tens of thousands of wounded people been healed, but also many military doctors have been brought out, and now they are the leading medical officers in the army.

Unexpectedly, he would be honored as a "Medical Sage" by Mi Rian now, and be conferred the title of Marquis!

He was surprised and delighted, he was grateful for Mi Yan's care, but also felt that he was not worthy of this title at all - he should be his teacher!

So he visited Mi Ren in person and asked for the order to be withdrawn.

Mi Yan smiled: "Mr. Zhongjing, do you still remember the promise I made to you when we first met?"

Of course Zhang Zhongjing remembered.

Mi Eun said that he would make medical skills flourish, and he would justify the names of virtuous doctors in the world!Over the years, it has indeed been doing these things!

"I think Mr. Zhongjing deserves the title of 'Medical Sage'; all the officials did not refute and agreed with this point of view. Why should Zhongjing belittle himself?" Mi Ren smiled and said, "After all, killing 3000 people is easy, but saving 3000 people is not easy. It’s as difficult as climbing the sky.”

In fact, the courtiers objected, thinking that even if [-] typhoid victims were saved, Zhang Zhongjing's reward was too much.However, conferring titles is not included in the "Nine Ranks of Zhongzheng System", and Mi Yan directly ignored their objections.

Zhang Zhongjing believed it was true, and was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while.

Mi Yan said: "What's more, this is just the beginning."

"Conferring a knighthood to your husband is just a means to attract talented doctors from all over the world, telling them that if they study medicine well, they will be able to honor their ancestors."

He said bluntly: "This is just the first step, and I will have more actions in the future."

There are many famous doctors in this world, such as Hua Tuo.Hua Tuo declined his request in the early years, and now he travels around to practice medicine.Hearing the news, maybe she will come back to him.

In addition, he also plans to ask Zhang Zhongjing to write a book and print it into a book, and ask Zhang Zhongjingyuan's teacher in his hometown to train more doctors...

Tears welled up in Zhang Zhongjing's eyes when he heard the words, he bowed his head and bowed again.

……

During the twelfth lunar month of this year, it snowed heavily in Chang'an.

Whenever it snows, Mi You will set up a stall in Qu County to give porridge and jiaoer to passers-by to drive away the cold.

This year is no exception.

After obtaining Mi Ren's consent, she arranged for people to set up stalls at the four gates of Chang'an City.In addition to porridge and jiao'er, mutton bones are also used to make soup, so that people who go out of the city or poor people can get some warmth in the freezing winter.

Seeing that her little sister was accompanied by Zhao Yun and housekeeper Zhou was there to help, Mi Yan felt relieved to let her do this.

It was Xiu Mu.

After sending Mi You away, Xun Yu sat in the room reading a book wrapped in a cloak and grilled by a charcoal fire, but his mind was far away.

Mi Yan saw it, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Xun Yu came back to his senses and sighed: "Zi Su, I'm thinking of a peaceful and peaceful place, maybe there are kind-hearted people like Ah You who donate porridge to save the poor people who would have frozen to death by the roadside; But in a place where wars are frequent, will there still be such people?"

He actually knew the answer.

In a war-torn land, even the gentry can't take care of themselves, how can anyone take care of the humble people like grass?

——This is not unfounded worry.

Five years ago, he returned to his hometown Yingchuan with Xun Shuang, and persuaded the local gentry to relocate.As a result, most people held the same idea as Guo Tu, thinking that Yingchuan was the place of the Fourth World War, and the court would not give up, so they were unwilling to move.

As a result, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army revolted, Yuan Shu suffered from cholera, and the Xiongnu took the opportunity to burn, kill and loot, and the whole Yingchuan became a purgatory on earth.Not to mention the misery of ordinary people, even the gentry suffered numerous casualties and were forced to move away from their homeland.

Xun Yu was deeply moved.

After the incident happened, the gentry who moved with the Xun family were extremely sad.Many people came to the door to thank the Xun family for saving them from annihilation.

Simpi of the Xin family in Yangzhai, Du Xi of the Du family and others came to join him and asked him to send troops to Yingchuan to quell the war.But at that time Mi Eun had already led the army to attack the Xiongnu, Xun Yu had nothing to do, so he had to appease and recommend several people to Mi Eun, who are now officials in the court.

Mi Yan squeezed his fingers, and then asked him: "Don't talk about that, can Wen Ruo have a good way to arrange Yangzhou Governor and Yizhou Mu?"

This is something Mi Eun has been worrying about lately.

He wanted to wait a little longer, but a few days ago, he received news that the governor of Yizhou had embezzled bribes and amassed money wantonly.

Taichang Liu Yan took this opportunity to say: "Prime Minister Mi, the world is in chaos today. The governors and prefects of various states have taken advantage of the situation to bribe and buy officials, exploiting the people, and causing wars to recur. I feel that honest and honest officials should be selected as the governors of the states and counties. , so as to stabilize the world.” [1]

After the words, I asked myself to be the pastor of Jiaozhou.

Mi Yan could see that Liu Yan wanted to make contributions on the one hand, and to avoid the war in the Central Plains on the other.

He agreed to this matter.

He shouldn't be able to. Now that the Han Dynasty is in its infancy, the imperial court will unconsciously favor the children of the Han Dynasty when it elects the officials of the state shepherd and governor.

But Mi Yan has come to this point today, even if he doesn't think about himself - with Mi Zhu and others behind him, and Xun Yu and others who follow him, it is impossible for him to return to his position as a courtier and taste the "flying bird is good". The miserable situation of Gong Zang.

It is bound to seize the Liu family and establish a new world that belongs to them.

Jiaozhou can be given away temporarily because it is the most remote, and even if Liu Yan raises troops in the future, he will not be able to persecute the Central Plains.But Yizhou and Yangzhou, no.

But if you don't let them touch their hands, who can you choose?

Xun Yu pondered, "Perhaps we can make Cai Yong the Governor of Yangzhou and Huangfu Song the Shepherd of Yizhou."

It was a word that woke me up from my dream.

The former governor of Yizhou was frugal and took bribes, so he was bound to be dismissed.In addition, the natural moats in the fourteen counties of Yizhou are thrilling, easy to defend and difficult to attack.It is necessary to send people who are safe and secure, so as not to defend and attack in the future, which will become a serious problem for the confidant.

Therefore, the new state shepherd must not only be a person of high morals and respect, but also need to have the ability to lead troops to fight.

The conditions were clear one by one, Huangfusong was naturally the most suitable candidate.

As a courtier, Huangfusong had no second thoughts.His resume is also conspicuous enough to qualify for the position of governor of a state.

Cai Yong is slightly worse, but he lived in seclusion in the south of the Yangtze River for more than [-] years in order to avoid the scourge of the party in his early years.After so many years, no matter how silent he is, his talent, learning and moral character have been known by the local gentry, and he has won the respect of the other party.

Sending him to Yangzhou happened to be able to unite with the local gentry, open scriptures and study, and exhort the people to farm and mulberry.

Mi Ren suddenly realized.

So when he returned to the court the next day, Mi Ren ordered Huangfu Song to be the shepherd of Yizhou, and Cai Yong to be the governor of Yangzhou.

He also ordered Xun You and Huang Zhong to assist Huangfusong, and Zhong Yao and Xu Rong to assist Cai Yong.

Just as Xun Yu calculated, all officials reluctantly agreed with this.

This is also a very normal thing, Huangfu Song and Cai Yong are old now, both of them are in their fifties, if they go to their respective states and counties alone, there may be some problems.It is very suitable for Xun You and Zhong Yao, who are in the first year of Ling Erli, to be the assistants of the military governors.

Xun You and Zhong Yao quickly realized the political significance of it.

——Huangfu Song and Cai Yong are old, and it is impossible to do everything in the state by themselves.Letting them go together is to deepen the prestige of the two of them among the local nobles.

Yizhou is treacherous and dangerous, so it needs to be captured by strategy; Yangzhou is peaceful, just make friends with the gentry.

After all, Zhong Yao and Cai Yong are as talented in literature. In addition to being proficient in classics and history, good at Ci Fu, and good at calligraphy, this is the best way to contact the local nobles in Yangzhou who have made good friends with Cai Yong.

This kind of seizure of power might be displeased and fearful to another person, but Huangfusong and Cai Yong definitely will not.

Exactly the same as his good friend Lu Zhi, Huangfusong doesn't like fighting for power and is extremely silent most of the time.Earlier, he spared Mi Yan's relatives in his hometown, and was angrily dismissed by He Jinqian; later, he was recruited by Dong Zhuo, angered Dong Zhuo, and almost died in prison.

It was Mi Ren who entered Chang'an, killed Dong Zhuo, and released Huang Fusong.

There is no repayment for saving lives, and he will not embarrass Xun You and Huang Zhong.On the contrary, because these two people are the brains and fierce generals under his command, he will reuse them.

As for Cai Yong, not long ago, Mi Yan had just rescued Cai Wenji from the Huns and sent her to a quiet place for refuge.Instead of being wary of him as Mi Yan's confidant, Cai Yong will trust him even more.

Therefore, the two knew very well that this was their lord paving the way for them, giving them a signal:

——First go to the prefectures and counties separately, forbearance and conspiracy.After a few years, these states and counties will be completely subdued, and your boss will grow old, and you will be the new governor of the state!

Zhong Yao and Xun You were very excited.

Why do these counselors devote themselves to the lord's account?In addition to realizing the ideal in my heart, isn't it also running around for fame and power?Since the lord thinks highly of them and wants him to conquer Yangzhou and Yizhou, they will certainly do their part!

Seeing that the two were fighting high, Mi Yan smiled and patted Zhong Yao on the shoulder: "Take care, Yuan Chang, I will wait for your success."

Zhong Yao was moved and bowed.

Xun You was a little better, he was usually the calmest among the counselors.

Mi Ren helped him up, and said to Xun You, "This trip is treacherous, be careful in everything, and be fair."

As a member of the Xun clan, he knew the relationship between Mi Ren and Xun Yu, guessed that Mi Ren regarded him as his own family, so he sent him to station in Yizhou, straightened his face and said solemnly: "You will live up to the trust of the lord."

"Safety is the most important thing." Mi Yan sighed. "No matter what, the Xun family and I will be your retreat."

Reluctantly seeing off Xun You, Zhong Yao, and Huang Zhong, Mi Rian counted his followers, and couldn't help sighing: The cabbages we gathered in the past few years are still not enough!

Even though many of the counselors and clansmen under his command were extraordinary, several of them followed him into the court as officials.But for the officials of the entire imperial court, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Mi Yan played with Xun Yu's fingers in private: "Now is the time to employ people, but there are really too few people available for us!"

Xun Yu smiled lightly: "I have considered this matter before."

Mi Yan looked at him: "Oh?"

Xun Yu said: "At the beginning of October, Feng Xiao went back to Qu County to get married. I told him that I asked him to ask Mr. Shui Jing to help recommend talents, and I hope to get some more in the next year."

When Mi Yan heard this, she pulled Xun Yu over and hugged her into her arms: "If my writing is worthy of Wang Zuozhi's talent, just one sentence will completely solve my troubles!"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Zi Su just has too many worries and won't remember them for a while."

"That sounds really sweet," Mi Yan kissed him, "Let me see if its owner is just as sweet."

Soon it will be New Years.

In order to continuously collect wool from the gentry, this year's new year's goods for the imperial court put on the shelves two more items: exquisite blue and white porcelain, and sweet and sour candied hawthorn.

There was porcelain in this era, but pottery was still used on a large scale, not to mention the glazed blue and white porcelain?As soon as it was launched on the market, it attracted the attention of all officials, and was quickly sold out.

A plate of celadon, half a glass of white wine, with a few sweet and sour preserves, how refreshing and comfortable life is!

……

Happy New Year in Chang'an City, and Qu County in Xuzhou is not bad either.

Guo Jia, who returned to his hometown on leave, has already married and spent the newlyweds with his wife you and me. After a few years, he will be able to bring his wife back to Chang'an and show it to his friends Zhao Yun, Mi You, and Zhang Liao. .

He is currently dealing with the task Xun Yu gave him.

First select talents from the academy, put the young ones aside for the time being, and bring back the mature ones.

He has his eyes on two people: Cui Yan and Xi Xi.

In addition to these two people, he communicated with Zhou Yu who was far away in Jiujiang County, and they both fell in love with someone.

——Lu Su.
