Without Jia Rong, I am afraid that the current land of Liangzhou and Bingzhou would still be barren and barren. The melee between warlords would not stop. The threat from the grassland would still exist. This is history. No matter how powerful a person is, he will always be there.
It will be lost in the long river of history.
"King Liang, Fengya would like to see you."
Jia Rong put down the book in his hand and said, "Please."
After a while, Feng Ya Yingying walked in. After paying homage, she stood quietly aside.
Jia Rong said: "Miss Feng came here and you don't know why?"
Feng Ya said: "Xu You's matter is almost over. My daughter comes to collect debts every day. This guy has become very shameless. I'm afraid there will be no effect if this continues."
"It turns out that Xu You is a talented person from Jizhou. Could he be arguing with a woman regardless of his reputation as a scholar? I'm going to beat him up, but this time I'm bothering Miss Feng." Jia Rong said with a smile.
Feng Yaliandao didn't dare. Now that Jia Rong has ascended to the throne of King Liang, he is very different from the general. This means that Jia Rong has broken away from the rule of the Han Dynasty. From now on, the people will only know that they are people under the rule of King Liang.
It is not a Han royal family. Moreover, Jia Rong implemented benevolent policies under his rule and the people surrendered. Even if someone wanted to cause chaos, it would be difficult to succeed.
Most of the officials under the Xiliang Army were gradually selected from the schools. Many of them were scholars from poor families and had no feelings for the Han Dynasty. The reason why they were so enthusiastic was because of Jia Rong. It can be said that under the rule of Jia Rong,
The officials were fanatical about Jia Rong.
Merchants pursue profits, but it also depends on whether the object of the pursuit of profits meets the requirements. Jia Rong ruled Chang'an and collected taxes from merchants, which is not found in other places. Why are merchants still willing to do business in Chang'an? In other places, there is no need
Taxation requires connections. Without connections, merchants will be heavily criticized when they arrive in a place. All these require money to settle. In this case, why not put money collection on the table and build an orderly city.
In Chang'an, even businessmen with no reputation will not be criticized as long as they follow the rules. This is a rule. As long as someone violates it, the owner of the city will not begrudge the sword in his hand.
Xu You gradually got used to this kind of food in Prince Liang's Mansion. Feng Ya came to collect debts from time to time. It was quite good to be with a beautiful woman. In the blink of an eye, it had been nearly two months since he came to Chang'an. I don't know if my lord
How is it going? Are you anxious?
In the past few days, Xu You's travels have been greatly restricted and he can only stay in Prince Liang's palace. Jia Rong, whom he had not seen for a long time, also appeared in front of him.
"Master Xu, I wonder how you are doing these days?" Jia Rong said with a smile.
"Thanks to King Liang, I will eat well and sleep well." Xu You said. He didn't have the slightest demeanor that a scholar should have. When Xu You just went to Chang'an as an envoy, such a question would definitely be the most harmful to Xu You.
humiliated.
Jia Rong was also very curious about Xu You's change. He smiled slightly and said, "You haven't been in Chang'an for a long time. It's time to pay off Qingfeng Lailou's money. You also need money to eat and drink in the palace. There is no money in the world."
A free lunch.”
When it comes to money, Xu You's expression changes again and again. The most embarrassing thing for him in this life is money. He ate 300,000 yuan in one meal and had to endure the debt collection from his creditors. Although his face has been tempered,
There was still some excitement in my heart, but in front of Jia Rong, these things were suppressed very well.
"King Liang, it's not like you don't know about Beizhi. In Jizhou, Beizhi has quite a lot of money. If he can return to Jizhou, he will definitely send someone to him immediately."
Jia Rong snorted coldly: "Do you think that I am a three-year-old child? Including your food and drink expenses in Prince Liang's Mansion, you need to pay back a total of 300,000 yuan, otherwise you will be prepared to be a hostage for the rest of your life."
Xu You was slightly shocked. Jia Rong was the king of Liang now, and Jizhou was not as good as the Xiliang army. In this case, Yuan Shao would at most send people to negotiate, and repaying the money was inevitable. If that happens, Xu You would be truly ruined.
, even when I returned to Jizhou, I received endless looks.
Seeing Xu You's expression changing constantly, Jia Rong knew that he was a little shaken, and took the opportunity to say: "I know that you have no money for the time being, so I can point you to a way to make money."
In the past, Xu You disdained businessmen the most. He smelled like copper. But now that he could make money, his little face suddenly turned red with excitement. As long as he could pay off the money, he would be free.
Being able to return to Jizhou and continue to be his adviser, instead of having to endure such suffering in Chang'an, the calmness before was not just an act of his.
Seeing that Jia Rong's few words broke Xu You's heart, Jia Xu nodded slightly, still looking at the performance of the two people calmly. It seemed that only when Jia Rong lost news, the guard at the door saw him for the first time.
Jia Xu became angry.
"You talk to the military advisor about this matter. The king still has important matters to deal with." Jia Rong handed the matter over to Jia Xu and left.
In a small, dark room, a candle was burning loudly, and the flame kept rising upwards, illuminating Xu You's face red.
In the darkness, Xu You couldn't see Jia Xu's face at all, and could only hear the gloomy words, "I heard that you are the number one counselor under Yuan Shao in Jizhou. Is this true?"
"I forgot to tell you that I am the number one counselor of the Xiliang Army, and I have the same status as you. It is best not to lie in front of me, otherwise you will die miserably. Don't forget, this is Chang'an, even if you die
Here, there will be other counselors coming for peace between the Xiliang Army and the Jizhou Army, but Yuan Shao can only swallow his anger." Jia Xu said gloomily.
Under this environment, Xu You couldn't help but feel a little trembling. As a counselor, he still had certain abilities. He calmed down and said, "Sir, King Liang once said that people who work in humble positions earn money."
Jia Xu smiled and said: "That's true, but before you make money, I have to make it clear in advance that if you lie at all, just leave something on your body, such as eyes and ears, and I won't care.
An outsider’s perspective.”
Xu You's heart trembled when he heard this, but in order to retain the dignity of Jizhou's number one counselor, he still sat there quietly and said: "Excuse me, sir." In Chang'an, Xu You completely put down his previous arrogant posture, except for seeing
Except for Yuan Shao, who claimed to be in a humble position, there was no official in Jizhou who didn't treat him with respect when they saw him.
Jia Xu took the stack of papers handed over by the guard at the side and kept reading what was on it.
Xu You's expression has changed again and again. Jia Xu actually knows everything about him clearly, including things that he thinks are very secret. He doesn't know how Jia Xu knows these things, but these things
If it falls into Yuan Shao's hands, Xu You's future will be completely ruined.
Under Jia Xu's words, Xu You's psychological defenses were continuously defeated. The information Jia Xu possessed made him dumbfounded and he had to reconsider the power of the Xiliang Army. Some very secret information could be
After being spied on, it was enough to see how far the Xiliang Army had penetrated Jizhou. Although Xu You flattered Yuan Shao and rejected dissidents, he still valued his own life and future very much.
Seven days later, Xu You walked out of the small dark room. He had lost a lot of weight. Now whenever someone asks him a question, he will tell it immediately no matter whether it is a secret or not.
Jia Xu was very satisfied with Xu You's performance. After some encouragement, he went to meet Jia Rong. It was foreseeable that at the critical moment of the battle between the Xiliang Army and the Jizhou Army, important information from General Xu You was transmitted bit by bit, which greatly affected the
The Jizhou army will all be deadly.
"Xu You has done a good job. After Xu You recovers, let him return to Jizhou. However, the whole matter must be kept absolutely confidential, including the laughing stock left by Xu You in Fenglai Tower." Jia Rong said.
In March, Cao Cao led an army of 50,000 to attack Le'an Kingdom in Qingzhou. Yuan Shao's last sneak attack left Qingzhou unprepared and lost Le'an Kingdom. Cao Cao was very upset because there were many things going on at that time, and the princes joined forces to attack Han.
At Guguan, Cao Cao temporarily put aside his hatred, but he had long thought of taking back Qingzhou. At this time, Cao Cao had Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and most of Xuzhou in his hands. Compared with the barren places of the Xiliang Army, it was many times better. As long as he worked hard to control it,
, surpassing the Xiliang Army is just around the corner, and he is bound to win Qingzhou.
The Xiliang Army has always been a powerful enemy of the princes of the world, but Cao Cao, Liu Biao and his like did not pay enough attention to this powerful enemy. Since ancient times, the world has been dominated by those who conquer the Central Plains.
Yuan Shao in Jizhou had a lot of troops, with 200,000 available troops. It was fine when fighting continued, but once it stabilized, it would become the biggest drag on Jizhou. Faced with Cao Cao's provocation, Yuan Shao immediately ordered Yan Liangtian
Feng led 50,000 troops to Qingzhou.
Compared with the past, when there were often 100,000 troops, this force was much less. This was also caused by the fact that the people under the rule of the princes were not wealthy, taxes and taxes could not be collected, and the soldiers in the army lacked food and grass, so how could they fight.
Jia Rong started his second act of becoming king and exempted the people under his rule from all taxes. This move made the people under his rule really happy. Since the founding of the country, the Han Dynasty has not exempted all taxes.
This is also because many people have started to engage in business. As a businessman, under the rule of the Xiliang Army, their status will not be reduced, and they will become richer, much faster than the money they can get from farming. Such a situation, for them
It is extremely disadvantageous for the rulers. Once the princes monopolize the supply of grain and grass, the Xiliang army will be in trouble. Jia Rong will not allow such a thing to happen. After tax reduction and exemption, the people who are in a wait-and-see state will definitely be happy.
