Chapter 390: No money

I drank the banquet yesterday until very late. Even though Liu Yi had a good alcohol tolerance, I still got up a little late today.

After rubbing my temples, I felt a little painful in my head. I haven't felt this way for a long time.

"Head of the family." Xiaohuan cared about helping Liu Yi put on the wet wipes, and asked Liu Yi to wipe his face.

In the early morning of late autumn, the air was already very cool. Liu Yi pushed the door out and saw that there was still a faint mist around him that had not dissipated. The sky was a little cloudy, and it seemed that it was about to rain. The construction of the road would be affected by the weather. Therefore, in many cases, Liu Yi would give more budgets for such projects that he could not always supervise by the side.

As an important hub from Nanyang to Hanzhong, especially after both places have already belonged to Liu Bei, although Shangyong's strategic significance has been weakened, its economic value will be reflected, which is also the reason why Liu Yi wants to build this road.

In the courtyard, several Shu dancers were exercising there. When they saw Liu Yi coming out, they bowed to him and Liu Yi nodded slightly as a response. There was no need to discriminate or wear tinted glasses to see these people. In this chaotic world, it was not easy, and it was even more difficult for these beautiful women without backgrounds.

"Sir." Liu Feng came to Liu Yi, and his fat face still had that kind of smile on his face. I heard that Liu Feng always looks like this when he meets everyone, giving people the feeling of being a good person, not just treating him and Guan Ping.

"I'm going to set off tomorrow. This time, I may pass by Luohou." Liu Yi looked at Liu Feng and smiled and said, "Do you have any attributes or do you want me to transfer it on your behalf?"

Originally, he planned to stay for a few more days, but Liu Feng's current appearance made Liu Yi not want to see it. Regardless of whether it was for his own good, he was himself who encouraged Liu Feng to become like this.

"No need to bother sir." Liu Feng shook his head and said, "Actually, many tribe members have come here over the years."

"If you have the chance, after the prince's general's relocation to Hanzhong, go and go around the prince more often, and maybe there will be a time to come back in the future." Liu Yi thought for a while.

Not only are the new and old forces in Cao Wei alternating, but Liu Bei is not too far away. With the number of talents in Liu Bei's group now, as long as Liu Feng takes the initiative to form Liu Chan and be loyal to Liu Chan, the problem will not be too big. With the number of talents in Liu Bei's group at present, there is no need to worry about Liu Feng's big moment in the future. None of the younger generals such as Wei Yan, Guan Ping, and Deng Ai are worse than Liu Feng.

"The old man is worried." Liu Feng shook his head and smiled, "Sir, Feng thinks that life is actually quite good now. Over the years, I have eighteen sons and fourteen daughters. The battle on this battlefield... If there is an accident, this family may..."

Well……

Looking at the helpless smile on Liu Feng's face, Liu Yi stopped talking and was afraid of death, especially after having a family, this feeling became stronger and stronger. He was afraid that if something happened to him and his wife and children were left unattended to take care of him, the invisible pressure would make people stronger and also make people timid.

But what really surprised Liu Yi was... in the past few years, he actually had thirty-two children... Is Liu Feng going to move closer to Liu Bei's ancestors?

I doubt that even if Liu Feng is on the battlefield now, he still has the ability to fight?

Overall, Liu Feng's current state has made Liu Yi feel much better. Although he has no ambition to gallop on the battlefield, at least his children are full of children. In this year, it is more important than anything else.

Besides, as long as there are one or two of them promising, the family can continue to maintain it.

After staying for another day, Liu Yi finished all the things he should have explained, and he and Guan Ping set off on the ship to Nanyang again. After Liu Bei became king, the three kingdoms were completely divided into the three countries. Next, Cao Wei must be busy rectifying internal affairs. On Liu Bei's side, according to the results discussed by Zhuge Liang, Liu Yi, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng, the internal rectification was mainly focused on rectifying internal affairs.

After all, the factions under Liu Bei are gradually emerging. The Jingzhou faction and the Yizhou faction are two major factions. In Yizhou, there are also Dongzhou factions and local factions. Jingzhou also has problems between Jin and Nanjing. Even the major generals have their own forces to form smaller groups.

With great power, this problem is inevitable. How can interest groups be balanced? This not only tests the level of the monarch, but also requires a good system to maintain this order. Without rules, Cao Wei is trying every means to introduce new policies. Liu Bei also urgently needs a set of laws that agree with Liu Bei's interests to regulate and maintain order.

As for Jiangdong, Liu Yi was not very clear. He felt that it was no different from before. Sun Quan seemed to have no idea of ​​innovating the administration of officials, and there was no similar voice in Jiangdong.

But no matter what, the issue of introducing new policies within the Liu Bei group has become the top priority at the moment. In such an environment, Cao Wei and Liu Bei will not be able to rashly move troops in the next few years or even ten years. If the two families do not move, Sun Quan will not be able to move rashly. The world that has been in chaos for a long time will usher in a peace period again.

When he returned to Nanyang, Liu Yi learned that Guan Yu had moved the county seat of Nanyang to Duyang. As for the reason, in order to avoid the plague, although the plague in Nanyang was curbed, according to Hua Tuo, it would take some time.

Another reason is that Duyang is also a must-pass place for Cao's army to attack Nanyang. It is a strategic location. In Liu Yi's defense system design, most of the fortifications are in this area, close to Yingchuan, and can reach Luoyang directly to the north. Among them, deterrence is most important because according to the consensus of the upper class of Liu Bei's group, Liu Bei's development direction is the northwest Guanzhong land. Guan Yu moved the capital here, and the most important thing is to intimidate the Cao army. After all, with Guan Yu's name, it is difficult for him to pay attention to the Cao army. The only troublesome thing is that Duyang itself is just a small city. As for the location of Nanyang, using Duyang as the county governor is not the best position.

But Liu Yi was preparing to build a large-scale construction here and was surrounded by military fortresses. Duyang did not need to consider security, and he also sent troops to mobilize troops.

"When will Bo Yuan start construction?" After seeing Liu Yi, Guan Yu hurriedly came over. Recently, Cao's spies were almost everywhere.

"Have you seen the defense map?" Liu Yi looked at Guan Yu and asked.

"Well, the defense maps made by Bo Yuan are quite exquisite. If they are built, the Cao army will not be so rampant!" Guan Yu smiled and stroked his beard.

Guan Yu was quite impressed by Liu Yi's ability in this regard. Guan Yu had seen the military defense map and there were 108 beacon towers, and there were also open hills and secret posts. There were camps built in various places, such as arrow towers and whistle towers. There was also a twenty-mile single-sided city wall near Zhuyang, which was similar to the Great Wall, connecting the two mountains. It was not easy for Cao's army to come here.

"If there is enough funds, construction can be started at any time." Liu Yi said helplessly. Before the disaster relief and the people were rescued and the plague was controlled, the Nanyang treasury was emptied. In addition, Cao Cao burned a lot of treasurys when he left. Nanyang's financial situation is definitely a deficit at present, and a batch of coins needs to be called from Jingzhou and Shuzhong. However, during this period, Liu Bei's enthronement of king also consumed a lot of money. In addition, before the disaster relief, it is difficult for the entire Liu Bei group to take out so much money at once.

Why did Liu Yi reserve so long for Nanyang in his plan? It was because of this that he had no money, so he could only start with some infrastructure construction and develop Nanyang first. When the first batch of money arrived, he would first build the city wall. During this period, if the resources and money were enough, other fortifications would not cost much.

Among the entire Nanyang defensive fortification, the most gold-swalking city wall is this twenty-mile long city wall.

"If you have money, my brother sent someone to send a batch of money. Bo Yuan can use it first. As for the rest, take it slowly." Guan Yu said helplessly. The construction of Xiangyang City had already consumed a lot of money before, not to mention the construction of the roads and camps in Jiangxia and Nanjun. Although Liu Bei has developed rapidly in recent years, he has to invest a lot of money to operate. Not to mention anything else, just Liu Yi has spent so much money in the past years? Construction, weapons, armor and siege equipment. Just thinking about it, Guan Yu dared not count down any further.

Although it is worth the money, after a little calculation, Liu Bei's expenses over the years may scare Sun Quan and Cao Cao to death. In addition to food and grass, Liu Bei's army's taxes over the years and the money stored in the treasury were almost all invested in Liu Yi, at least 80%!

This is because Liu Yi has not built much in Shu. When Nanyang is in trouble, Liu Yi is about to set off for Shu.

Thinking of this, Guan Yu's eyes at Liu Bei became weird. He suddenly understood why his brother wanted Liu Yi to go to Nanzhong. It was too expensive and he had to slowly.

Liu Yi naturally didn't know what Guan Yu was thinking now, and thought: "For money, I have already found some of the early weapons in our army and prepared to trade with Jiangdong. I should be able to get some. In addition, I have found a few good disciples during this period, and they will lead people to build weapons. The weapons they made can be traded with Jiangdong. However, this money cannot be used here."

If Jingzhou wants to operate, it has to be spent on money. He can't let Cuizhouping eat dirt before the new taxes are confiscated.

"Has Bo Yuan accepted his disciples?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Yi unexpectedly.

"Well, a man who is specialized in the casting of weapons, Pu Yuan, the one who has seen him, is older than me." Liu Yi smiled. Pu Yuan was not from Mocheng, but he has been under Liu Yi for many years and has good skills. At about level five, Liu Yi decided to accept a large number of disciples this time, and the first person he thought of was him.

"In addition, there are two masons, three carpenters and one carpenter." Liu Yi calculated that these are all people with foundation. They can hire workers without starting from scratch. The only pity is that they only hire workers who are professionally matched by their own. They cannot hire others, so if these people are asked to build a city, they have to come together.

"In this way, then this matter will be left to Bo Yuan." After hearing this, Guan Yu thought for a moment and decided not to care about this matter. Now Ma Liang and Yiji are responsible for the political affairs in Nanyang. Guan Yu is only responsible for military affairs. He originally wanted to ask about it, but now... let Ma Liang and Yiji negotiate with Liu Yi.
