Chapter 344
Oops… This is definitely a very troublesome relative…
At this moment, Liu Xie and Liu Ai couldn't help but complain in their hearts as they saw Liu Bei like this. She was crying almost all the time. Is it really good to cry like this? If you continue crying, will you cry out blood?
"Well, pour a glass of water for my aunt..." Liu Xie immediately ordered that if he could shed tears when he met, he would feel a little scary. It would be better to hydrate her a little.
"I thank Your Majesty! I just came over from Cao Sikong with some refreshments..." Liu Bei replied a little embarrassedly. Perhaps he felt that he was crying too embarrassed, and he tried his best to stop his tears... Well, try his best.
"Oh, you ate too... How does the bread taste?" Liu Xie immediately found the topic.
Let’s talk about it directly. Liu Bei himself is not very familiar with bread, but when he was drinking tea, Cao Cao had a lot of popular science. As the saying goes, he even talked with Liu Xie.
The two girls naturally talked about other topics as they were chatting. Liu Ai sighed when he saw this. He was originally planning to meet a few other royal families, but he was disturbed by Liu Bei. Depending on the situation, many itineraries need to be postponed.
Half an hour later, Liu Bei realized that it was a bit long and said goodbye to leave. Liu Xie, who had a good chat with Liu Bei, also signaled her to have a good rest and come for a banquet tomorrow. After this hour of communication, I could also feel that Liu Bei likes desserts. Everyone felt that they were all the same type of people and should be able to get along well in the future.
However, Liu Bei heard a lot of good words from Wang Yong and Cao Cao, especially Wang Yong's. He could vaguely feel that this niece seemed to like Wang Yong's cook very much.
"First of all, it seems that the relationship between Your Majesty and Cao Cao is not as rumored outside. It seems that the rumors are more credible; but when did that guy Wang Yong take action? It turned out to be tempted by desserts, right?" Liu Bei was silently thinking. In her opinion, the one who should be on guard is not Cao Cao, but Wang Yong.
Perhaps, the lustful person who really wants to be killed should be that lustful person! Thinking of this, Liu Bei made a secret decision to leave that guy farther away, so as not to become a victim inadvertently!
The night passed quickly, and the next day, from dawn, Liu Xie spent almost all of his time in receiving relatives. However, meeting these relatives today has gained a lot of benefits.
Perhaps it is possible to feel that the Han Emperor had real power, and the entire court was prosperous and flourishing. The army was as morale as a rainbow, and it was a real army of war. Such a court could naturally sweep the world and realize the real rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty.
The destiny of heaven is probably the ordinary people. The princes of the vassals naturally do not believe it. However, they do not believe in rumors, but they must believe in their own eyes. They will not invest in a illusory destiny of heaven, but are willing to invest in a diligent and conscientious and planned to revive the great man!
"My ministers are incompetent, civil servants cannot govern the country and security, and military officials cannot go to battle to kill the enemy. Over the years, they have accumulated some wealth, food and grass, and are willing to support Your Majesty and revive the great man!" King Pei took out all his past, taking out at least 70% of his property.
Naturally, the fields and other things that are managed are not counted, and the floating wealth and food contributed a lot. Including tens of thousands of chunks of money, there is also enough food for all the troops under Cao Cao's command to spend about a year, which is only part of King Pei.
The other vassal kings also contributed a lot of money and food one after another. Adding up all of them, Xun Yu was already smiling from ear to ear.
If she does logistics like this, the worst thing is that she lacks money and food. Military expenses account for the majority, so of course it doesn’t matter!
In addition, we have to take care of the salaries of officials. It’s just a territory that is less than two states, and we have to pay so many high-ranking officials. This is really a pity for her, a cute foodie!
There are also local salaries, expenses, expansion and construction of Xudu, construction of medical colleges and affiliated hospitals. There are other projects to build bridges and pave roads in the future. Refugees come to settle one after another, and the work of farming must continue to be carried out and expanded...
Look at the current, the money and grain contributed by these vassal kings are directly equivalent to the fiscal revenue of Cao Cao in two years of land! The grain can be supplied to soldiers and fight three large-scale battles, and Xun Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief! What he really worried about now is whether His Majesty is kind enough to send all the money and grain to the national treasury or directly earn it into the treasury!
The treasury is the country and the court's account; while the treasury is the private treasury of the emperor's family, and is separated from the treasury! If she enters the treasury, then even she can't call it!
"The Han Dynasty was in trouble and was not easy to waste. This money and grain..." Liu Xie looked at Xun Yu's expectant look and hesitated for a moment, "All grains are filled into the national treasury. In terms of wealth, 90% of them are included in the national treasury, and 10% are included in the internal treasury!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Xun Yu naturally had no objection to this result, and it was much higher than her bottom line.
"Your Majesty!" Liu Ai found Liu Xie, "I have selected thirty clan relatives with talent and twelve clan relatives with talent, and the third duke is conducting the second assessment. If you can become an official, it will be an unnegligible help!"
"How many people were willing to participate in the assessment at the beginning, and what was the proportion?" Liu Xie asked.
"Ninety percent of those who are willing to participate in the assessment are very positive." Liu Ai said with a smile. The clan relatives have a very good attitude.
"The Han family is willing to work together, why worry about the great Han Dynasty's revival?" Liu Xie nodded.
If the Han clan really counts, it is estimated that one nation will be almost the same. However, in this generation, there are only 42 talented people, which is ironic. Considering the previous Han Dynasty's vassal policies, it is not surprising that such a result was achieved.
Of course, whether to use these people will be decided by Liu Xie in the final third assessment. However, they are able to actively sign up for the assessment, which is a very good start.
Even Xun Yu did not expect that Wang Yong's inadvertent suggestion at that time would bring such great gains. Of course, this may also be related to the recent so-called "destiny belongs to heaven", so this effect will be achieved.
However, there are such rumors, which are actually because of a problem that is not big or small, and even serious at the beginning. The result is not only not becoming a trouble, but has become the best helper for this banquet.
It will become like this, and it doesn't feel strange to think about it carefully. The clans can grow stronger because of the backer of the Han Dynasty. If the Han Dynasty is gone, then they will become worthless. In Xun Yu's opinion, their current behavior is to make "venture investment" and bet on Liu Xie to the greatest extent.
To take a step back, Cao Cao treats the people of the Cao family and the Xiahou family in particular, but it is not the same? Just like her, she can only be regarded as a more trusted minister, but when it really concerns the interests of the family or personal interests, it is possible that she may still stand on the opposite side of Cao Cao.
However, the Xiahou family and the Cao family did not. The interests of the two families were maintained by Cao Cao, so they naturally moved forward with her will.
I just don’t know if I can make Liu Biao and Liu Zhang completely return to my heart through tonight’s banquet!
