Chapter 155 Return
In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, whether it is an official army or a rebel bandit, it is almost impossible to loot after occupying the city. ¥♀♀8¥♀8¥♀8¥♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀�
Therefore, Liu Yu asked his Qingzhou army to plunder the powerful in the name of the household transfer order, which was basically expected by the powerful. Even for a great powerful man like the Li family in Juancheng, the amount of taxes proposed by Liu Yu was far lower than the amount they originally wanted to actively contribute.
As Liu Yu guessed, these powerful men did think that although these Qingzhou troops were vicious, they seemed to have some rules and regulations, far from being as fierce as imagined and insatiable.
Despite this, Liu Yu knew that if he immediately plundered property, he would definitely make these powerful men think that they were insatiable and unfaithful.
Therefore, the blackmailing of the powerful people, which followed closely, was not just a simple blackmailing.
Liu Yu asked the soldiers of Qingzhou to invite the other powerful clans of various families to the governor's mansion, except for a few high-ranking gentry.
When all the powerful and powerful Zong Laos in Juancheng arrived, Liu Yu told the powerful people in Juancheng that the taxes collected in advance this time were not paid in vain.
As long as they pay full taxes, they can obtain corresponding official positions for the children of each family in Qingzhou, from the assistant officials of the county, to the chief officials of the county, or the subordinates of the Qingzhou shogunate. No matter what family background, they do not look at their knowledge, fame, or character. Anyway, as long as you pay this money, you can all be an official in the Qingzhou Governor's Department.
If Liu Yu said this to the Wang family of Langya, Wang family of Hedong, Pei family of Wenxi, etc., these gentry might have to be exploded on the spot. The so-called gentry can be killed or humiliated. Liu Yu, you dare to use these turbid officials in counties to humiliate the high gentry, and you will definitely become a public enemy of the gentry.
However, this time, Liu Yu avoided the nobles in the city and invited all the so-called powerful men, basically all of them, mainly merchants. Although there were some land, they were far from seeing each other compared with the nobles, and were even less famous than some innocent families. In contrast, these were barely considered to be powerful men in the poor Juancheng. Their clansmen often held small officials in counties and counties, and unless they were particularly talented, they would be promoted to the post of the prefectures and county governments.
As soon as these words came out, all the powerful men present at Juancheng were hotly discussed. Many people were moved. They also knew that the Qingzhou army had begun to relocate the households and people in Juancheng. After the people were moved, the Juancheng was basically half an empty city. The merchants and powerful men in the city were not allowed to return to their own countryside forts to settle their destiny. However, these powerful men also knew that Yanzhou was a place of four battles. If it was messy today, the terrain of Yanzhou was leaking from all sides, and the tide that came and went would not be slaughtered by the riots. Now the conditions offered by Qingzhou were actually to exchange for official positions with wealth, which was definitely beyond their expectations.
Many of these powerful people actually have plans to move to the relatively stable Qingzhou to avoid disaster. If they can spend some money to exchange for some official positions before leaving, it will be of great help to their survival after moving to Qingzhou. After all, with official positions, it can avoid targeting or exclusion from many indigenous scholars.
As for those large clans with a large family property, even if they did not make up their minds to move to Qingzhou, they could send some of their children to Qingzhou to open a sect and establish a temple. This was also the most commonly used method for large families since the end of the Han Dynasty.
"General, I just don't know if the Luojing court can agree to your recommendation?" A powerful old man with gray hair asked cautiously. ¤88¤¤¤¤,☆←o
Although the county officials in the Western Jin Dynasty could be recommended and appointed and removed by the governor, they all needed to be formally approved by the court before they could take effect. In other words, the governor had the power to recommend, but the final decision was still in the hands of the court. Of course, the governor and the general recruited officials such as the assistants and assistants recruited by the founding general did not need to be like this.
Liu Yu knew that these powerful men were worried that their promises would not be fulfilled. After all, the fact that they had broken through Juancheng this time was almost a breakup with the ruling Sima Yue. Whether those so-called recommendations could be approved was completely hopeless.
However, Liu Yu was not worried about this, he said confidently.
"Now Luoyang is too busy to take care of himself. Qingzhou's official positions are now all capable. As long as you can do it in a solid manner, there is no need for Luoyang to interfere with it."
Liu Yu's words were actually quite explicit. The appointment and removal of officials no longer cared about the court's agreement. It was a perfect match, but the powerful people present all agreed in their hearts.
"General, I don't know when the official position in Qingzhou will be fulfilled."
Liu Yu actually likes this most straightforward inquiry.
He had already prepared, so he ordered people to bring in many blanks of confessions, all of which were stamped with seals early. They were originally used to appoint meritorious soldiers in the Qingzhou army, but now they can be used here.
"As long as you pay the levy, all official positions will be paid immediately."
With these Qingzhou official positions as security, the powerful Juancheng present fought for the first place, and soon changed their families to official positions according to their respective strengths.
Seeing the effect was so good, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a little proud. None of the powerful men in Juancheng expected that Qingzhou now implements the system of supervision and protection of the big and small clans, and the system of ranks and Tianfu soldiers, the real power of those county officials is far less than that of them imagined. Many county magistrates have a larger household registration population than the population of ranks and Tianfu soldiers.
Moreover, these officials from Yanzhou who were powerful and powerful will become a means used by Liu Qi to differentiate and dismantle the supervision of the Qingzhou clan leader, and use officials from outside Yanzhou to check and balance the local powerful and powerful in Qingzhou.
Seeing the powerful Juancheng sent money and silk to the Qingzhou army one by one, and everyone looked happy, Liu Yu felt like "the local tyrants in Juancheng are all in my destiny."
By the next day, after everything was completed, the Qingzhou army received millions of coins only, and the rest were more silk and cloth, but the most scarce food was not much. However, Liu Yu could understand that in today's natural disasters, only food is the most fundamental and life-saving thing.
Liu Yu did a simple inspection of the received copper coins.
At this time, the coins were all copper Wuzhu coins, not only Wuzhu coins cast by officials of the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, but also many Wuzhu coins cast by private people. Generally speaking, the copper content of these copper coins is extremely unstandard, and even the size and thickness are very different.
Among them, the best quality are the Wuzhu coins of the Han Dynasty, which are almost nearly four grams each, and the copper content is relatively objective. As for those privately cast copper coins, some are even as thin as leaves. Liu Yu even suspected that the copper coins that could float on the water in ancient times should be the ones in front of him.
Although the quality of these copper coins is average, Liu Yu did not care too much about the function of their coins, but rather cared more about the copper itself contained in these copper coins.
Due to the century-long period since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the copper production in the world has been greatly affected, which made Liu Yu decide to use copper to make it after he was unable to succeed in casting steel body tubes, which required a huge number of copper ware.
Of course, all of this has to be started slowly after returning to Qingzhou.
Just after the Qingzhou army almost emptied Juancheng and was about to leave and return, a guard informed Liu Yu that it was Li Chang, a powerful man from Juancheng, to ask for a meeting.
At this time, the Qingzhou army had withdrawn from Juancheng. Liu Yu knew that after they left, the powerful people in Juancheng would basically leave Juancheng. They would either return to their own manors and forts or follow the Qingzhou army to migrate. However, the Li family of Juancheng stayed in Juancheng, and only one small clan followed him to Qingzhou.
Liu Yu was a little puzzled. At this time, the people from the Li family in Juancheng came to see him. With curiosity, Liu Yu asked the guards to bring Li Chang in.
Only Li Chang himself was taken to Liu Yu, and the rest of his entourage were blocked from the distance by the guards.
When Li Chang saw Liu Yu, he quickly met him on the big week.
"Greetings to the general!"
Li Chang's donation of money was very active when he expressed his loyalty through practical actions, which gave Liu Yu a good impression of him.
"Li Jun, there is no need to be polite."
Liu Yu helped him up, and Li Chang felt very helpful in his heart. The officials of a state valued him so much. Although the officials of the state seem more like an ambitious traitor now, Li Chang still enjoys it very much.
After a few words of unnutritious politeness, Li Chang looked at Liu Yu a little impatient, and then quickly spoke up to explain his purpose.
"The villain has a girl who is a pretty famous bottle. Although she is not good at appearance, she knows some girls and is proficient in writing. She is willing to serve her in the general and do some rough work of sweeping with a broom."
Li Chang said with a flattering smile, unable to see the fierce aura of fighting with refugees in the command center in the city yesterday.
When Liu Yu heard this, he was quite surprised. Is this the legendary gift?
The faces of these powerful men have become too fast. They were blackmailed twice yesterday. Today, they are taking the initiative to send their daughter to their homes?
Liu Yu said casually without a trace of expression on his face.
"I have married the daughter of Taiyuan King Peng Zu, don't Li Jun know?"
After hearing this, Li Chang said quickly.
"How dare the noble daughter of the Wang family have improper thoughts? The little girl just needs to follow the general and be a concubine."
Afterwards, Liu Yucai understood why Li Chang did this from his conversation with Li Chang.
Although Li Chang exchanged his concubine's position as the Qingzhou shogunate, Li Chang actually felt that Liu Yu Qingzhou's army had good combat power. In today's chaotic times, this strong army is the real strength.
For such great potential stocks, it is far from enough to pay some money and send a concubine's son to be a hostage. Well, people like Li Chang regard Liu Yu's tax collection and appointment as another way to demand hostages.
After all, Liu Yu only said that he would pay the money and goods to be awarded an official, but he never said that he would not pay the money and not pay the money. Facing the vicious Qingzhou Army, Li Chang and other powerful men in Juancheng did not dare to ask this question.
As the anti-king reserve, Liu Yu's wife is the daughter of Wang Jun, a "scum in the high-ranking family". There is no need to think about the poor family at the county level like Li Chang. After all, Li Chang's Li family is not Longxi Li or Zhaojun Li.
As the first powerful man I met to send him a favor to the crowd, Liu Yu naturally accepted it without hesitation.
Liu Yu patted his chest and sweared to the sky that he did this, not because the dowry was very generous, although it was indeed very generous, nor because the girl named Ping'er looked charming and beautiful, but because Liu Yu wanted to win over these Yanzhou tyrants. When the situation in Yanzhou collapsed soon, these powerful people would think of Qingzhou as soon as possible when they wanted to migrate.
Just after Li Chang left in Juancheng, Liu Yu placed all the women and dowry wealth slaves one by one, allowing them to follow the migrant army and get the guards of the Qingzhou army nearby.
In the Western Jin Dynasty, rich dowry was popular, especially when low-quality marriages were matched with high-quality goods, rich dowry was often the same.
Liu Yu had just arranged these, but a guard reported that it was the chief of the head of the powerful Xu family in Juancheng who asked for a visit.
After Liu Zhou saw Xu Gui from the Xu family in Juancheng, he said without saying a few words.
"I have a daughter who has always admired heroes..."
Although there is a lack of some novelty for this kind of active show of goodwill that follows closely, the methods and methods are always very good.
Liu Yu can't bear to let some beautiful girls who admire heroes and heroes now. After all, if she is disappointed, it will be very hard to bring back the dozen cars of wealth and dowry.
However, no matter how good things are, when they come one after another, they will feel irritable.
When Liu Yu led the central army to set off and began to chase the migrant army that had already gone far away, he had already received women and dowry from ten powerful families. In the end, Liu Yu told several later powerful men that if they forced the women, he could only give them the marriage to their generals or nephews with sister gifts. These powerful men still did not intend to change their minds, and even said that if they could marry Liu Yu's clan and nephews as their wives, they would be very satisfied.
Therefore, after Liu Yu led the central army to catch up with the Qingzhou army in front, facing the many women and their maids and slaves that suddenly appeared in Liu Yu's army, Li Feng and Wu Xin were secretly surprised, and their eyes when they looked at Liu Yu became very subtle.
It was a little uncomfortable to see them, and Liu Yu was a little embarrassed. These generals wouldn't think that they were delaying so long in the future and were going to steal a woman.
"Well, that, I want to tell you, these are all strong and tough things in Juancheng. Do you believe it?"
“…”
At the same time, the Qingzhou Army rear army, which was responsible for the protection of the guards.
A team of Qingzhou scouts were wandering behind the army to guard the guards, and found that behind them there was a group of more than a dozen horse-riding people chasing the Qingzhou army.
Seeing this, the scout in Qingzhou stepped forward to investigate and issued an early warning to the large army.
However, these horse riders did not seem to be enemies, because after seeing the banner of Qingzhou army scouts, they were all invincible and even showed a happy expression.
Faced with the inquiries of several Qingzhou scouts, a middle-aged man in charge spoke.
"I am serving Liu Xuan, the commander of the car, and report to your head, Liu Jixing quickly."
"Chief of the Vehicle? Liu Xuan?"
After hearing this name, several Qingzhou cavalrymen were confused, and they were all wondering who the so-called commander Liu Xuan of the chariot was?
"I have never heard of Liu Xuan, the commander of the car."11
