Dependence on the imperial power sounds like a very normal thing, but in fact, although the family has always been dependent on the imperial power, it has a lot of autonomy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is independent of the imperial power, but now, the life and death of the family are controlled by the imperial power.
Several other family heads who came with him looked at Cen Lie a little differently, even if the Cen family is not the first in Nanyang today, it is also the top wave, the position of the leader of this business house is sat by the Cen family, which is naturally enough to convince the public, but if the Cen family commits something, will he have a chance to replace him This kind of thought, but more than one person has it, Cen Lie can also think of it, looking at Liu Xie's eyes, with a bit of bitterness, this majesty's distrust of the family is really true Since Nanyang Commercial Bank is to be formed, then other families can naturally join, Liu Xie ordered two more influential, but not top families as the deputy of Nanyang Commercial Bank, which can be regarded as a kind of check and balance, as for the east and west, it is not like the Zhen family, directly giving the production method of refined salt, but by the Zhen family to supply, the Cen family as a downstream sales.
Liu Xie wanted to determine the dominance of the imperial court, not only Liu Xie himself, but also the families that were attached to the imperial court would also become the dominant families, such as the Zhen family and the Zhang family.
Of course, the production method of refined salt now has a finished product, Liu Xie believes that it will not take too long, at most three or five years, the princes should be able to get it out, but before that, Liu Xie should give full play to the value of this thing, not to mention, even if the princes have it, the Ministry of Industry will not stop moving, there will be more things to be gradually made out, as long as it maintains the leading position in science and technology, in business, Liu Xie can crush the princes to death.
And even if the family under the rule of the princes suppresses commerce, as long as Liu Xie's side succeeds and continuously improves the people's livelihood, the princes are not fools, and they will naturally follow suit, and to prosper business, it will inevitably touch the interests of the family.
After receiving Liu Xie's affirmative reply, Cen Lie and the others left with complicated feelings, although they won some benefits, but compared to what they expected when they helped Liu Xie contain Zhang Xun, it was much worse.
There are many children who have been appointed by Liu Xie, but most of them are some county orders, county officials and other positions, and the real power is still in the hands of the imperial court, and the Tingwei Mansion has gained a firm foothold in Nanyang, which further restricts the autonomy of the Nanyang family.
This is not as good as when Yuan Shu ruled Nanyang.
"Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from Qingzhou just now, Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops are stationed in Gaotang, and now General Taishi, I'm afraid I can't resist it."
Jia Xu handed over a piece of information in his hand to Liu Xie, frowned and said.
When Yuan Shao initially set Nanyang in Liu Xie, he took Yan Liang as the vanguard, and the troops came to Qingzhou, and Tai Shi Ci waved his army to resist in the Pingling area, and mobilized 40,000 troops to participate in the war, but in the face of Yuan Shao's step-by-step pressing, Tai Shi Ci guarded for several months, and now, it is a little unsupportable.
The imperial court has the heart to save each other, but the whip is out of reach, between Liu Bei and Cao Cao, Liu Xie can not send troops and horses to help, although the edict ordered Cao Cao to withdraw the garrison around Mount Tai, but this trick, although Cao Cao took it, but did not execute, so that Tai Shi Ci did not dare to transfer Zang Ba stationed in Mount Tai to help, this is already Yuan Shao since the army, Tai Shi Ci sent the tenth urgent report.
"Yuan Shao" Liu Xie sighed, he really didn't have any good way now, frowned and said: "In Tai Shici's hands, how many soldiers and horses are there now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, now the available soldiers in the hands of General Taishi are less than 20,000, during this period of time with Yan Liang, there have been several fierce battles between the two sides, although Yan Liang has suffered heavy losses, but General Taishi's side is also not light, but Yan Liang has Yuan Shao's support in the rear, and the 40,000 army is already the limit that General Taishi Ci can mobilize at present."
Jia Xu said in a deep voice.
"If it really doesn't work, just withdraw."
When Liu Xie heard this, he pondered for a moment and said: "Order Ganning's navy to withdraw, and try to move the people around Qingzhou to Jiaodong, other places can be lost, but Jiaodong must be saved."
Li Yan on the side said in surprise: "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, the Jiaodong generation has a barren area, although the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am afraid that I can't raise many soldiers and horses." ” When Liu Xie heard this, he looked at each other and smiled, Jiaodong at this time is indeed a barren place, but since the development of Ganning's navy, the geographical location of Jiaodong has been highlighted, and it can directly attack Bohai County across the sea, directly into the hinterland of Yuan Shao, and at the same time, the products of Jiaodong are also abundant, as long as there are enough people to develop Jiaodong, this land of Jiaodong, seafood alone, is enough to feed the Qingzhou army, not to mention that although the cultivated land area of Jiaodong is not much, but the soil is quite fertile, according to the report submitted by Tai Shici and Gan Ning, The trial planting in the Jiaodong area has ended, and the yield is quite gratifying, if you add fishery, it is not a problem to raise 300,000 people.
Of course, the most important thing is the strategic significance of Jiaodong, as long as the entire Jizhou coast is not lost, the Xuzhou coast and even Liaodong are within the scope of attack of the imperial navy.
"If you take land warfare as an example, Jiaodong is indeed a barren land, but Your Majesty has a navy in Jiaodong, which is of great strategic significance, and even the entire Qingzhou may not be as good as a Jiaodong."
Jia Xu smiled.
Li Yan was a little dazed, now the Han Dynasty has all kinds of soldiers and horses, at most in the Yangtze River to fight water battles, and it is precisely because of this that Jiangdong can always be independent of the imperial court, as for naval battles, not to mention the military books, I have never even heard of it.
"In short, Jiaodong must be kept, Yuan Shao has Qingzhou, and he may not be willing to waste energy attacking such a barren land as Jiaodong."
Liu Xie sighed, the fall of Qingzhou still made him a little dissatisfied, but at this time, the imperial court whip was out of reach, and he really couldn't intervene in the battle of Qingzhou.
"Also, try not to expose the navy" Liu Xie said solemnly, this is his own killer weapon, used at a critical time, now although he and Yuan Shao have begun to border in the Hanoi area, but that place is blocked by Taihang Mountain, once the war starts, Hanoi is an enclave, Yuan Shao is easy to fight, Liu Xie is difficult to save, therefore, before the two sides are fully bordered, Liu Xie does not want to directly tear his face, things that are not good for himself, Liu Xie does not want to do.
"Huh" Jia Xu nodded and began to help Liu Xie draft the edict.
"How has Liu Bei reacted recently," Liu Xie asked as he looked at Jia Xu and Li Yan.
This time Liu Bei took advantage of his east wind, picked a fruit from the boss, and the entire Yingchuan was eaten by Liu Bei, and Cao Cao also took this opportunity to capture the two counties of Xuzhou, and even Taishan County gave him a little, if it weren't for Tao Qian at the last critical moment, in front of the three armies to wave his sword to apologize, I am afraid that even Xiapi and Guangling will not escape Cao Cao's poisonous hands, these heroes who have left their names in history really can't be taken lightly, if Cao Cao really let Cao Cao take down Xuzhou, then Cao Cao has a big rear, or a place rich in money and grain.
In this battle, Liu Xie is growing, and the princes are also annexing each other, I don't know how long Yuan Shu can support Cao Liu Sun with the three tigers and wolves on his side "After His Majesty accepted Yuan Shu's request for peace, Liu Bei stopped all actions, concentrated on sorting out internal affairs, and at the same time sent a letter to the imperial court, asking Zhang Miao to be the Taishou of Yingchuan."
Li Yan said with a smile.
"Zhang Miao" Liu Xie frowned, then nodded and said, "It's also suitable, allow him" agreed so happily, in addition to Liu Xie's inability to take Yingchuan now, the most important thing is that this Zhang Miao can be fought for, according to the news from the secret guard, this Zhang Miao has been commensurate with Liu Bei to the envoy or Ming Gong, although it is just a title, but it also represents Zhang Miao's attitude, he is not loyal to Liu Bei.
This time, Zhang Miao was invited to serve as the Taishou of Yingchuan, I am afraid that Liu Bei himself is also because no one is suitable to sit in Yingchuan except Zhang Miao.
Yingchuan is different from other places, the literary style is prosperous, there are many celebrities, and it was once a Han talent cultivation center, but because of this, if you don't have a certain reputation, even if you have an official appointment, it is impossible to gain a foothold in Yingchuan.
Among the scribes under Liu Bei, Chen Gong, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong are not famous, Zhang Miao no matter what his ability is, but this reputation is enough, he once served as Chen Liutaishou, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road asked for Dong, Zhang Miao was one of the princes of the road, one of the eight chefs, this fame is enough for him to quickly gain a firm foothold after serving as the Taishou of Yingchuan.
After the princes begged Dong, Zhang Miao had a suspicion of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao ordered Cao Cao to kill him several times, Cao Cao refused, it is said that this kindness is big enough, but later Chen Gong invited Liu Bei's three brothers, Zhang Miao was the first to defect, and spared no effort to help the three brothers fight against Cao Cao.
It is difficult for such a character to be truly loyal to a person, Cao Cao is not good, Liu Bei is naturally not good, and even Liu Xie, as long as it is necessary, he will not hesitate to betray, but because of this, he sits in Yingchuan's too thin position, and Liu Xie will not reject it.
"Whoa" "Let's stop here today, it's not early, and I'm going back to rest."
Liu Xie stood up, looked at the sky, and smiled.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty" The two hurriedly got up and watched Liu Xie take Xu Chu to the temporary palace.
"Your Majesty, just now Uncle Huang sent two women over."
Back at the temporary palace, Wei Zhong trotted to Liu Xie's side and pointed to the room.
"Uncle Huang is really" Liu Xie couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, now the grandmaster is pressing step by step for him to take more concubines, the reason is naturally known, but he always feels weird in his heart, how can it be so similar to the feeling of being forced to go on a blind date by his family in his previous life "Let them come over, let me see what Uncle Huang's vision is" Liu Xie shook his head and smiled.
Left and right is a part of the sect's mind, and in a few months, he will be fourteen, with his current physical state, some things, can almost be done, for these things, he naturally will not reject, which man does not have the dream of three palaces and six courts, now that he has the opportunity, he naturally does not mind tasting that taste. t1706231537:
