Chapter 86

Since he found a solution, in the next twenty days, Li Su would of course go to the front line to supervise the work of harvesting enemy wheat, and to lure the people in the enemy-occupied areas to store grain in advance to make and rotate. He would fight wits and courage with the rebel grain collection team, and try to minimize the food of the people in the enemy-occupied areas to be taken away by the rebels.

The hard work and twists and turns are inevitable. The biggest trouble comes from two aspects.

First of all, the publicity was too slow. Most of the ancient farmers were illiterate. If you want to promote how to make a turbulent and how to make the people believe that the turbulent that has been baked in a casserole can be stored for two months, it has to be passed on by word of mouth and taught step by step.

This greatly restricts the speed of viral spread of information. At the most exaggerated moment, the refugees who were put back into the enemy-occupied area as detailed works had to carry a sack of finished products and let the people in the enemy-occupied area taste it in person. That is the most direct and willing to make them believe it.

This also limits the candidates for detailed work. Only those who have relatives in Yuyang can be considered detailed work, because refugees who have no concerns may go home with food on their backs and don’t do anything at all.

So in order to win hundreds of thousands of stones of wheat from the other party, Li Su himself first spent hundreds of stones of free trials. Later, he found that the efficiency was too low, Li Su adjusted the favor and asked the students to focus on persuading the prestigious villagers and elders in the villages occupied by the enemy, and asked these people to try it. Then he asked the elders to help promote the court's kindness, which was implemented at the minimum cost.

After the propaganda problem was resolved, the rest was military harassment - the rebels did not notice it at first, but more than ten days later, as time entered early August, the normal Youzhou wheat harvest season was getting closer and closer, and the enemy also reacted.

Then, it was much more difficult for the cavalry on Li Su to cross the border and secretly cut the wheat from the opposite Youbeiping.

At this time, Li Su had to invite Liu Bei to increase his military pressure.

In the small-scale grain robbery conflict, both sides also suffered casualties, but Liu Bei and Guan Yu obviously had the absolute advantage - this kind of patrol level conflict of 100 people is simply seeking death if anyone bumps into Guan Yu.

As for whether Zhang Nan, the local commander of Yuyang County, would be unhappy because Liu Bei had crossed the border in an all-round way, it doesn't matter.

After Li Su reported his plans and needs to Liu Yu, Liu Yu was extremely optimistic about the prospects of this plan. He praised Li Su, making him adjust whatever he wanted.

Zhang Nan's wasteful snack always defeated the war and took the blame. He had long been disliked by Liu Yu, and there was no place to complain no matter how bullied. Liu Yu now trusts Li Su in Wen, and Wu trusts Liu Bei in Wu.

After persisting in this for more than 20 days, by the end of August, the normal season for wheat harvest, Li Su and Liu Bei, the golden partners of civil and military affairs, finally completed the task successfully - they at least harmed and transformed hundreds of thousands of stones of wheat in Youbeiping and even western Liaoning.

Among them, the robbery was about tens of thousands of stones that were transferred to subsidize one's military supplies. The other 200,000 to 300,000 stones were snatched back from the fingers of the rebels' tax robbers.

Even if the rebels' grain collectors went to the countryside and found that the local people had already made the wheat in advance, they could not collect taxes because they would definitely rot according to the tax collection process.

At most, they only eat a few full meals with the people, and then take a few days to eat dry food, and they will not hand over it.

However, some more tyrannical rebel soldiers failed to complete the task of collecting food and were oppressed by the generals. They were angry and killed the people who were rebellious and even regarded the people who had been rebellious as pro-Han and anti-Zhang.

These consequences were impossible for Li Su and Liu Yu to think of in advance, and they had no choice. But Zhang Jujun killed the people in the area he occupied for this purpose, which obviously made their people's hearts even more unstable.

Many people who were originally bullied by the Han Dynasty for many years and were bullied by the Han Dynasty. Now, seeing that Zhang Jujun killed the people more violently than the Han Dynasty, they all regretted: they thought that a good life would be passed by a change of dynasty, but in the end they were even more cruel! If they had known, they would not have welcomed Zhang Ju!

At least 300,000 stones of wheat noodles were not collected, and the rebels' food and grass immediately fell into a crisis expectation - the reason why they had to add a "expectation" was because there was no shortage of food yet.

No matter how hard you try, you won’t be short of food just after the autumn harvest.

But what should I do in the cold winter? I was originally counting on the wheat harvest this year for the winter!

This shadow is what every tribal senior who has a little knowledgeable experience wants.

...

When Li Su and Liu Bei brought two thousand soldiers and tens of thousands of stones to return to Ji County, they were given the gift of Liu Yu going out of the city to welcome him because of their outstanding plan.

Other officials below the Youzhou Muslim government were even more generous to Li Su and his party.

"Thank you for your hard work, Li Yu, with such a great talent, I also inspected the counties of Yuyang, went deep into Youbeiping, and personally visited the bandits to seize the grain of the bandits and cut off the supplies. It is really the envoy's arms. We all should use the other party as our staff as our example."

"Han Fei said: Yu was the king of the world. He held a plow and a bolt and was the first to the people. His thighs were not completely covered, and his thighs did not grow hair. Even if the prisoners worked hard, he would not suffer from this. It must be because he was tired these days. He really devoted himself to his loyalty and could see the light of heaven."

There are even many officials from Zheng Qianshi who say these rainbow farts. They are much higher than Li Su.

Li Su was photographed a little speechless: I am born white and smooth, okay? I have no leg hair! I am not worn out because of the heavy labor intensity like Dayu!

After being polite to these guys for a long time, the group finally followed Liu Yu to the provincial governor's mansion. Liu Yu also personally welcomed Li Su and Liu Bei's meritorious service.

The dishes are quite simple, after all, in a major disaster, you can't be too much. But the courtesy is enough.

It can be seen that Liu Yu was simply a surprise that Li Su's plan could succeed. Originally, Liu Yu did not expect Li Su to achieve much success in "destroying the enemy's military ration collection and improving the enemy's endurance comparison". Even if it was just fanning the flames and making a bluff, without actual gains, it was considered successful.

Who knew that Li Su could easily weaken the enemy's food for hundreds of thousands of stones.

This is no less rewarding than the robbery of Wuchao in Guandu! It’s just that Li Su killed people without blood, robbed food invisibly, and looked like he was not visible or exposed.

After the banquet, Liu Yu ordered everyone else to retreat and disperse, and he only left Li Su and Liu Bei to talk about the matter:

"Boya, you have made great contributions this time, so I will definitely reward you very much. However, although this matter is effective, it is not easy to perform well, and it is not easy to directly promote your official position. I see that a few days ago, Cai Bozhi also arrived in Zhongshan, and the "Theory of Disasters and Disasters" you signed with him has also been engraved into a book.

It is better to wait until these books arrive in the capital, and I will secretly express my conspiracy to clarify that the Hu people's previous act of inciting Zhang Ju's rebellion has subsided. At that time, Your Majesty may be relieved to see that we suppressed Zhang Ju's bad influence in proclaiming emperor.

I will give you several merits and reward you, and take your talent and learning as the Maoist in this year. Please recommend your Majesty to promote you to Zhengqianshi. In addition to the unchanged position of the other emperor, you will also be awarded the title of "Guarding the Wuhuan School Captain and Supporting the Jieshi Chief". From then on, you will be fully responsible for the court's pacification and contact between the various departments of the Wuhuan."

Liu Yu's plan is obviously very persistent.

Because you have lost hundreds of thousands of stones of military rations of the enemy, this matter cannot be directly transformed into superficial contributions.

In other words, the reward for promotion is based on the efficacy, rather than only some indicators that can only be seen by "testing".

Therefore, we must wait for the war to fight against the rebels to make progress in stages before we can get promoted.

When Zhang Ju just proclaimed himself emperor, there were still many military frictions and people's shaking the borders of the two sides.

Therefore, it is a phased contribution to stabilize these waverings and make the enemy retreat further and not dare to cause trouble.

And destroying the enemy's food and supplies can only be said to be the catalyst that ultimately promotes the transformation of this situation.

In addition, Liu Yu could also describe the small-scale conflict caused by the crossing of food in the memorial form as "after Zhang Ju proclaimed himself emperor, the enemy's morale rose and he attacked rampantly." Now that the enemy is repelled and no longer attacks, it is said as "the adverse effects of Zhang Ju proclaimed himself emperor were suppressed."

The word "official" has two mouths, and the interpretation of favorable progress is not as good as the provincial governor wants to interpret it.

At the same time, the "On the Refutation of Disasters and Disasters" written by Li Su and Cai Yong can also be used as an interpretation of "Zhang Ju's proclamation of emperor's bad incitement on the Hu people was purged", and is also reflected in the memorial.

As for the money for the palace repair... I used to pretend not to give this ten million to the outside world, but in fact I had to give it far more than ten million in secret to get the Minister of the Congregation. If Li Su didn't want to pay this money, he would ask Liu Bei for public funds. Anyway, it was for everyone's common cause, and it was not shabby.

Who made Liu Bei much richer than Li Su now?

After a little thought, Li Su thought through Liu Yu's foresight.

"Thank you for your cultivation! You are so kind to me. Su will never repay you in this life." After Li Su thanked him, he also thought to himself that Liu Yu was so kind to him and Liu Bei. It seems that it would be difficult to develop with Youzhou as the base in the future. After all, he would definitely bear the infamy of Liu Yu, and he might be more terrible than Lu Bu's reputation.

Forget it, don't think about these things for now.

After becoming the chief officer of the Wuhuan School, he will definitely have an advantage in negotiating with Wuhuan in the future.

The current Youzhou master's deceased is just a representative of Youzhou master's contact with the Wuhuan people. After having the Minister of the Entrepreneurship, you are contacting the Wuhuan on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

It is equivalent to being the leader of the Provincial Department of Foreign Affairs, and now it is added to the ambassador to you by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Could it be a high-ranking official who is Zheng Yiqianshi?

And the most rare thing is that Liu Yu agreed to give Maocai's recommendation quota! From then on, Li Su was also a righteous official who took the route of promotion before the collapse of the Han Dynasty.

Officials of the Han Dynasty always regarded the most correct way to recommend the election. Although it was not as serious as the "inspectors of imperial examination officials from other backgrounds" after the Song Dynasty, in general, there was still a chain of contempt.

Li Su used to be an official who had accumulated merits and although he was also known as "no money for renovating palaces", he lacked the halo of recommendation.

He is alone and has no clear origin, and he will never be able to be a filial and honest person in this life.

Now, I skipped the more valuable Maocai and finally achieved the perfect merits. To put it a little, Maocai and Xiaocai are not in conflict. Many true famous ministers can first select filial and honest people and then Maocai.

Because Maocai is targeted at people who are already working officials, because they are awesome when they are officials, they will be promoted to Jumaocai. Therefore, many officials who have been 400 or 600 s are promoted to 1,000 s.

In addition, because Maocai promoted higher official positions, Maocai was more difficult. Xiaolian was qualified to be the prefect of each county, while Maocai had the governor and governor. No matter how much the population of each state is, there was only one Maocai every year.

The thirteen prefectures and divisions of the Han Dynasty, plus the three dukes and generals, could promote Maocai, and the entire country could not stand up to 17 Maocai every year.

Moreover, because the three dukes could also be sold during the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, "has there ever been Maocai this year" will become an important gold standard for the selling price of the three dukes.

For example, if you are the first to buy the Taiwei this year, and the Taiwei has not yet been promoted to Maocai, and after you buy the Taiwei, you have to be promoted to Maocai, then your Taiwei may have to be worth 100 million. If the Taiwei has already been promoted to Maocai this year, and if you buy the Taiwei, there is no quota for the Taiwei, then the Taiwei will be depreciated to at least 50 million.

The reason why Cui Lie's three masters were cheap in history was because he bought it in the second half of 187, and the indicators of the year were all lost by his ex-boy. The reason why Cao Song's Taiwei was extremely expensive was because he bought it in the spring of 188 after turning it over, and all the packages for the recommended quota have not been used.

The local area is also strict. Historically, Liu Bei became the governor of Xuzhou in 194. Because more than half of that year had passed, he used up the Maocai quota for that year before Tao Qian died in the first half of the year, which led to Liu Bei's inability to directly recruit Maocai after taking office.

After 195 of the following year, Liu Bei immediately rated Yuan Tan as Maocai after he had a quota, which immediately eased the relationship between the Xuzhou forces and Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao originally regarded Liu Bei as Gongsun Zan's help, but was hostile to Xuzhou. Liu Bei gave Yuan Shao a Maocai, and Yuan Shao immediately became harmonious with Liu Bei.

It can be seen that Maocai is valuable.

However, after thinking of this, Li Su immediately realized the problem: "Enterprise... As far as I know, before the governor Tao Qiantao stepped down in May, he seemed to have already cited Maocai from Youzhou this year. Otherwise, I would rather wait next year and not make it difficult for the envoy to do it."

Liu Yu said arrogantly: "What's hard to do? Tao Qian made Youzhou so decayed, so he was embarrassed to select Maocai? None of the people under his command deserved to be Maocai! I will give your Majesty sincere advice and let your Majesty allow me to make an exception!"

If you can work with Cai Yong to write "Theory of Refuting Disasters and Disasters" to curb the poison of Zhang Ju's rebellious edict, who is worthy of Maocai?

Is it better to let the rebels criticize the Han Dynasty for "prouding talents but not knowing books"?

Of course, these are all official words on the memorial.

As for the actual situation...

One Maocai made 10 million yuan, and the other who claimed to have never spent money made an exception and specially recruited Maocai, giving the emperor 20 million yuan.
