The conscience of heaven and earth, although Li Su and Zhuge Liang, the master and apprentice, have been fully fired and are focusing on calculating the mental attack on Yuan Shao.

But even themselves did not expect that this mental attack would be so effective, and it would make Yuan Shao so angry that he had a stroke paralyzed.

In Li Su and Zhuge Liang's plan, this attack that embarrasses Yuan Shao is a continuous combination of punches, and there will be various steps to follow up, and when you get the opportunity, you will get a lot of news.

No matter what happens, it should be as fast as several months and as slow as half a year before you can see decisive results.

There is no way, who made Yuan Shao's harem have the existence of Liu, a poisonous and jealous woman who is as famous as Lu Zhi, helping Li Su and Zhuge Liang play the role of "the enemy's internal pig teammate".

To put it in game terms, it is equivalent to Yuan Shao's original "Dance of Death", which can transform some of the instantaneous mental damage he suffered into into continuous bleeding damage.

In this way, the flattering assistant like Guo Tu can also make his mentality come true, and it was impossible to reach the killing line.

As a result, Liu's own DEBUFF halo, the effect is to "invalidate the death dance of my husband's", which instantly outputs a lot of bad news after accumulating energy, and directly sends Yuan Shao in seconds.

However, on the other hand, after Yuan Shao suffered a stroke, many of the annoying plans of Li Su and Zhuge Liang in the next stage had to be temporarily delayed. Even if it continues to be implemented as originally planned, it will no longer be effective in the short term.

A patient with a stroke paralysis could have been exempted from the decisions of the court and military affairs, and he did not have the energy to listen to bad news ahead.

Zhuge Liang creates more bad news and shame in the short term, and will not be given to Yuan Shao's ears because of the protection of the people around him.

At the same time, Yuan Shao also lost the ability to "get up and find the truth by death", and he couldn't even make himself angry.

During the paralysis, as long as the people around him think, they can only let Yuan Shao hear the good news, at the cost of being a puppet with obstruction of eyes and ears-

It is even ruled out that the guy who was originally a puppet of Yuan Shao was ready to move, or was used by other princes of the Guandong court.

So this wave is a bit similar to knocking out Yuan Shao's resurrection armor, but in the four seconds of the golden body time when the resurrection armor is resurrected, you can't continue to output, you can only wait until the golden body is over before pressing up.

Of course, with Li Su's IQ and Zhuge Liang's micro-work, it can be foreseen that this wave of guarding corpses in the future will almost be like "placing a trap under the feet of the Resurrection Armor in advance, and Yuan Shao will step on the clip as soon as he gets up."

Then he was repeatedly arrested until he died again, even if Yuan Shao pressed and flashed wildly in advance, it would be useless.

Eight words can summarize Yuan Shao's script:

The golden body waited for death and flashed to move to the grave.

...

Unfortunately, the news blockade of Yuan Shao’s camp was done well, so the news of Yuan Shao’s stroke and hemiplegia was not spread to Guanxi immediately.

Yuan Shao was in October 20th, and the news was hidden for more than half a month. In addition, it took time to spread from Yecheng to Chang'an Road in Luoyang. When Liu Bei, Li Su and Zhuge Liang learned the news, it was at least half past November.

During this period, Zhuge Liang was still diligently following the original plan and sending various meticulous remarks to the occupied areas, corrupting Yuan Shao's reputation and promoting Yuan Shao's stupidity.

And these efforts are equivalent to estimating a position that roughly feels like there is an enemy in the fog of war without vision, and spreading long-range AOE output skills.

Even though the enemy is in the Golden Body, you are immune to damage, and you continue to spread, and you have spent some blue amount in vain.

Specifically in Zhuge Liang's operations, the funds sent out to cultivate the fine works are equivalent to "blue". Those vicious remarks attacking Yuan Shao are not in vain, and several or even dozens of fine works have to be sacrificed every day for this.

It can only be said that no one is the God of Foresight, and Zhuge Liang has no perspective. Without vision, he can only estimate the most stable way of playing.

During this period, after being restored by Guan Yu, Luoyang City quickly completed the handover transition and re-entered the stable state.

It is impossible for all the officials in Luoyang City to be fine. Some of them were the gang members promoted by Yuan Shu that year, and they also participated in the crime of Yuan Shu killing Liu Xie and seizing Luoyang. Later, Lei Bo was Yuan Shao who surrendered peacefully, so these people were kept by Yuan Shao with his nose pinched.

But now Guan Yu came to restore Luoyang to persuade Chen Gong to surrender, and there were two more separate things here, so there were not so many taboos. There were no need to worry that calculating the old accounts of Yuan Shu’s direct descendants would cause people’s hearts to fluctuate.

In just over half a month, it was judged to be killed and killed, dozens of rioters with historical problems were dealt with, and a group of them were dismissed. The rest of the officials were all adjusted and incorporated into Liu Bei's court.

In this way, it did not add much redundant official burden to the Liu Bei court, ensuring that the people who were absorbed and retained were all talented and practical. Most of the other mascots from the Yuan and Liu Xie periods, including famous people's waste snacks, were washed away.

Of course, from the perspective of absolute number, there are not many of these people. After all, most famous people went to Yecheng, and only 10% of those who stayed in Luoyang accounted for 100% of them. They were all honorary idle positions - similar to the defeated dogs of the "Six Nanjing Ministry" in the Ming Dynasty in history.

...

While Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang were busy with these affairs, on the third day of November, Li Su finally arranged all the affairs in the south, and he traveled thousands of miles to report to Liu Bei.

When Li Su arrived in Chang'an, it was already more than ten days after Yuan Shao's stroke, but the news of Yuan Shao's stroke was known to the Chang'an court, so he had to wait for more than ten days.

Of course, Liu Bei went out of the city to welcome him in person. The king and his ministers got along. After returning to the city, he had a big banquet for three days before talking about the national affairs.

"Boya came from afar and went south for nearly a year and a half. He started the imperial examination in the south camp, changed the method of personnel, expelled Sun Ce, and destroyed Sun Quan. In just sixteen or seventeen months, he did so many things, and he was really the pillar of the country's dynasty.

These days, I will take the opportunity to take care of your concubine and talk about the major issues with the country. Huang Zhong is surrounded by Jianye City there, and it is almost time to conquer it? Take the opportunity to add the fiefs of two counties of Kuaiji County and give you a prize."

Li Su wanted to be polite, but Liu Bei didn't give him a chance to speak.

In fact, Jianye City is indeed coming soon. Huang Zhong has found some internal support with Gu Yong's assistance and will definitely be able to win it in November. But even if it is won, it will take time for the news to be sent back to Chang'an.

Liu Bei was too confident in Li Su, so he announced in advance a time difference. The civil and military officials in Chang'an City happened to make a name for each other and enjoyed each other.

With this contribution, Liu Bei also enfeoffed Feng'an County and Changshan County, which had not been granted to Li Su before - the ten counties given to Li Su before were only equivalent to the later generations of Shaoxing and Ningbo, while Jinhua only granted half to Li Su.

After adding these two counties, the remaining areas in Jinhua were also given. Li Su's fiefdom was officially expanded to equivalent to three prefecture-level cities in later generations. As for the remaining fourteen prefecture-level cities in southern Zhejiang and Fujian, it was necessary to rely on Li Su to make a name for successor and then slowly get it. He still has time.

On the day when he was enthroned in two counties, Li Su also handled the marriage of the concubine that had been delayed for a long time, and officially went to the Zhen family to have a grand ceremony, and took Zhen Mi according to the etiquette of the Duchess.

After that, there were naturally a banquet every day and a song every night. It was a continuous rest for five days, so there was no need to repeat it.

The daily dishes at the Duke's Mansion, whether they are meat or vegetable, are cooked with oyster sauce seasonings, and there are lamb chops, venison, and blood of deer every day. The seahors that pay tribute to the East China Sea are extremely luxurious.

Li Su took advantage of the freshness and felt relieved for more than a dozen times. He ended his vacation and resumed work on the 10th of November. He went out to work with dark circles and a blue face.

The maids and maids in the Duke's mansion were ashamed of the new little ladies who were moistened by the rain and dew. It was hard to imagine that the woman could be so beautiful.

They finally understood that the Duke was not lustful, but had too high requirements. He seemed relatively pure and indifferent before, because he was almost colorless, so he focused on soul communication.

That is, after Oqiao was punished as a slave and entered the mansion, the duke's ugly behavior gradually emerged, and this time he developed the development of marrying a concubine.

...

After the vacation, Li Su resumed work and returned to Shiqu Pavilion in Weiyang Palace on the first day to discuss matters. Xun You, Zhong Yao, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng were not there, and Liu Bei did not ask other ministers to chat with each other, but only recited alone, which shows his trust in Li Su.

Without outsiders, Liu Bei didn't care about talking about dirty jokes and relaxed.

"Boya, you guy, finally, have been seen through by me. It turns out that you have a high vision and are so unconscious that you are so indulging in your health."

Li Su also responded with a polite smile: "Isn't this new thing yet? After a while, I gradually recovered."

Liu Bei: "Yunchang has sent a lot of good news recently. Most areas of Luoyang and Henan Yin have been settled. This month, you will definitely be sent to be the Sili lieutenant and will be transferred to the Sili Governor next year.

During these days in Chang'an, you have to think carefully about what else should I do to help me, and I won't come up with a plan to let you go. I won't be able to rest in the past few days, so have you stopped thinking about it carefully?"

Li Su took the handkerchief and sniffed his nose, throwing it aside: "You can discuss everything else slowly. Anyway, when you arrive in Luoyang, you are not far from Chang'an. If your Majesty has anything to ask for, you can ask in real time.

The key national policy at the moment is to set the specific fundraising plan for the canal between Nanyang and Yingchuan. We must plan to implement the construction of the people who should be dispatched in the future, whether to pay wages or not, and where the money comes from.

By the way, the commercial tax reform that Your Majesty talked to me at the beginning of the year is now confirmed. After all, the more money spent on the north and south sides of the year was all based on asking the profits of the nobles and the royal property.

Part of it was to get the "deduction amount of the new commercial tax that will be levied in the future" and vacate it with them. So how to collect the new commercial tax and how to deduct the previous pre-borrowed ones, we must never delay it.

It will be decided by the end of this year, and all opposition opinions have been collected and resolved completely. The conquest will be launched next summer and autumn, so it will be just step by step to avoid opposition from the public."

Liu Bei did not object to this general plan and ideas. It seems that after Li Su has been playing for the past period, he has a good grasp of the general direction of national affairs and knows what the most important task is at each stage.

The war is about to enter a break and rest, and internal affairs and reform should indeed be promoted quickly with the prestige of military victory.

Reforms are difficult in peaceful times. The aristocratic families and vested commercial interest classes are not afraid of the threat of swords in peaceful times. The warlords' voice in peaceful times has also been reduced, and reforms have been too constrained.

Under the wartime system, every time a big victory was fought in the front, it was a good opportunity for the rear to take the opportunity to reform and suppress opposition. In history, the three major campaigns in Cao Cao in the later period were used to "return to the court after every victory in the front, kill a group of opposition factions who were sincerely loyal to the Han Dynasty, and at the same time add a title to Cao Cao himself, Xiao He's story, granted a duke and a king", consolidating the Cao family's world.

Liu Bei had an orthodox and didn't need to do this, but he shouldn't waste his prestige after military victory.

He puts people first, so that every victory ahead will destroy a prince, and take the opportunity to advance a reform and spend the cohesion of military victory on these long-term beneficial things.

Liu Bei asked with advice: "In your opinion, how should the labor force to build the Yingchuan Canal in Nanyang be levied? How much should be levied? How to compensate? How to raise funds?"

Li Su has already figured out the answer: "Let the new soldiers who have expanded their troops in the past two years serve in service and carry out construction, and provide military salaries and supplies in wartime, and manage them with military law.

Last year, our army expanded its troops by 80,000, but the main force of the mobile expedition expanded from 320,000 to 400,000. These 80,000 people actually only fought a few battles. Next year, they can continue to serve in work and bring high military salaries when they are idle.

Other idle troops can also draw some to maintain militarized management.

Moreover, this year, so many Yuan Shao and Jiangdong troops were wiped out, which could be reorganized after labor. The people continued to increase the recruitment of areas with too dense populations and fewer populations around Nanyang County, and it just happened to gather 100,000 new troops.

In this way, the imperial court can expand its elite troops on a long-distance expedition to 500,000. In the future, as the basis for unifying the world, I believe that in the process of completely eliminating Yuan and Cao, there is no need to expand the army.

If there are prisoners in Yuan and Cao in the next few years, the elderly and weak will be sent back to the farmers. The strong will be converted into local garrisons, militias and villages, and engineering corvée soldiers. After the future peace of the Han Dynasty, it will be enough to maintain 500,000 elite standing troops directly under the court, and they can even gradually transfer some to the second line. At that time, it depends on the situation and depends on the strength of the threats of the four barbarians."

Li Su never believed that a political system appeared later in history and must have superiority than a system that appeared earlier.

The system that suits you is the best.

Later generations saw some historical online novel writers who liked to boast about "the later emerged more advanced" in order to reduce the cognitive cost of readers, but this matter really cannot be generalized.

For example, the system of government troops from the Six Dynasties to the early Tang Dynasty certainly had institutional advancement, and indeed had advantages in terms of military mobilization efficiency and saving national finances.

However, the government military system has disadvantages in the formation of warlords, and the emergence of vassal states is also related to the remnants of the government military system. It was not unaware of this problem that by the middle and late Tang Dynasty, when measures such as renting and meddling in the two tax laws and other measures to alleviate financial pressure, the court also tried to change the military recruitment system.

After the Song Dynasty became rich, it learned from the lessons of the vassal states and warlords of the Tang Dynasty, and would rather spend more money than recruit troops.

Strictly speaking, the Han Dynasty had always had a recruitment system in the middle and late periods. However, because the world was peaceful and the threat of the four barbarians was small, the scale of the standing army was not large, and the disadvantage of the recruitment system was not obvious.

By the end of the Han Dynasty, after the threat of the four barbarians was great, the scale of the recruitment of soldiers and the standing army had to be slightly doubled, and the finances suddenly collapsed. This was why Duan Yan pacified Liang and spent 4.4 billion yuan of military expenditures from Emperor Huan's court in more than a year.

After all, in ancient China, there was a repeated jump between conscription and recruitment. There was no such thing as one, which was definitely more advanced than the other. It depends on whether the main contradiction of the court was the tendency of warlords to separate or lack of money.

The threat of separation of warlords is greater, and the military threat of foreign enemies is less, so we can use recruits that are not easy to separate but cost more.

The central military authority is very important, and the emperor has a high prestige and is not afraid of the tendency of warlords to separate. At the same time, the external environment has a heavy war, so the military scale that must be maintained at a high position for a long time is maintained, so we can save some money by recruiting troops.

Li Su felt that Liu Bei's War of Unification was easy to fight in a few years, and the four barbarians are relatively weak now. Therefore, it is not necessary to completely change the usual recruitment of soldiers in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Even if we want to carry out expansionary reforms in the future, we will find other opportunities.

In contrast, if you still find a way to make money and take the trouble of recruiting troops, you will be more trouble than less.

Of course, the term "reform of the military system" can still be mentioned and threatened the current political vested interest class.

Finally, you can shoot a shot, and do not change after you mention it, and then put it in front of them: You see, Your Majesty has followed the advice and will not move the old method of recruiting the army since Huan Ling, but continuing the recruiting army system will have to solve the military expenditure problem, so everyone should support the reform of commercial tax.
