Chapter 1266 casting money

In fact, Liao Li was ordered by Liu Bei to study at home and he was always paying attention to Liu Bei's situation. Then Liao Li would think hard to see if he could solve the problem for Liu Bei.

Liao Li couldn't do it at all to let Liao Li study hard at home.

Liao Li was clear about Liu Bei's shortage of money. Now Liao Li really regretted it. If it weren't for his corruption and bribery, and his personal pockets, which led to the upward and downward effect, Liu Bei would have been so difficult.

Liao Li thought that he would bury the pit he dug himself. If Liu Bei didn't handle it in the end, or if someone took advantage of the situation, Liao Li could not come up with any way, then he would be dead.

Liao Li was considered a mistake. The personal soldiers sent by Liu Bei came to invite him. Liao Li was so excited, which meant that Liu Bei had already remembered him and needed him.

Because of his guilt, Liao Li put on a simple dress and went to meet Liu Bei. This was very different from Liao Li's personality. His favorite was gorgeous clothes, but that would cause Liu Bei's unhappiness.

But Liao Li cannot dress too shabby or dusty, otherwise he will think that Liu Bei has treated him badly, which will lead to Liu Bei's dissatisfaction.

It can be said that Liao Li is the worm in Liu Bei's belly, and he has figured out all Liu Bei's thoughts.

After Liao Li prepared, he followed Liu Bei's personal soldiers to Liu Bei.

Seeing Liu Bei sitting in the middle of the study, Liao Li seemed to be a different age, kneeling straight from the door to Liu Bei, and said in a crying voice: "The sinner Liao Li pays homage to the lord."

Liu Bei did not open his eyes and let Liao Li kneel on the ground. Liao Li began to get nervous. Before he came, he was guessing Liu Bei's intention to call him over. Now Liu Bei was motionless, and Liao Li was stunned.

After a long time, Liu Bei finally spoke and said, "Do you have gained something during this period?"

What you gain? Of course, there is. Liao Li reflected on his actions, not that he did something wrong, but that he should be more cautious in the future and not let others discover it.

"Lord, the sinner has been reflecting on himself all the time during this period. He followed his lord to support the Han Dynasty. He did not expect to be blinded by lard and did something that hurt his lord. The sinner was wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong!" Liao Li was very guilty on his face. He didn't know if Liu Bei could guess what he was in his heart.

Regardless of whether Liao Li really regrets it or not, Liu Bei is so scarce that he is dying, which is considered to be Liao Li really regretful.

"Since you have truly regretted it, you have also been punished during this period. I have been with me for many years, and I will spare you this time today. If you commit another crime in the future, you will definitely be killed!" Liu Bei said.

"Thank you lord!" Liao Li said gratefully: "Lord, I will definitely change my past mistakes! During this period, I miss my lord all the time."

Liu Bei nodded. He knew Liao Li's character, but now both sides need a step to get down. Liao Li's attitude is what Liu Bei wants.

"Although I forgive you for your crime, you cannot take office now. You must follow me first and make contributions in the future. I will entrust you with important tasks." Liu Bei made the words clear first, so as not to have any ideas.

Liao Li hurriedly took the order. After all, he had just been released from his home, so he should not think about this official position or something.

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Now Zhang Ren and Yan Yan and the two thieves are domineering, and the military advisor has been plotted. Yuba County is defeated in the battle, and the thieves are in a turbulent manner. What can you do?"

"What! The military advisor was defeated?!" Liao Li didn't know about this.

Liao Li was very jealous of Xu Shu, but Liao Li did not deny Xu Shu's ability in his heart. Unexpectedly, Xu Shu would have a day of failure.

But Liao Li couldn't be happy. Once Xu Shu was defeated, the consequences would be very serious.

"Can you please tell me in detail? Let me explain it later." Liao Li did not dare to make a rash decision.

Liu Bei felt that after Liao Li reflected on his own at home, his attitude became much better, so he told him about his situation.

Liao Li was paying attention to Liu Bei's situation at home, but it was not so detailed. Now after listening to Liu Bei's explanation, Liao Li was relieved.

Xu Shu was plotted for a while, but the overall situation was still under Xu Shu's control. The only thing to be wary of was the restless defenders in Yizhou, whose actions were related to Liu Bei's rule in Yizhou.

At the same time, Liao Li felt that others expressed their plans to stabilize the garrisons of other counties and counties with money, grain and official positions. After all, nowadays, life and death are all for fame and fortune. If you don’t use weapons, you can get everything you want, so why not do it? I believe that the garrisons of other counties will be subdued by Liu Bei with money offensive.

But Liu Bei now has food, but there is not much money.

What's more serious is that this pit was dug by Liao Li before. If he hadn't taken out the grain and sold it, the granary would not have much grain, so why would Liu Bei use money to buy grain?

In the final analysis, it was Liao Li's fault.

Liao Li felt that he was responsible, which was also the key to whether Liao Li could regain Liu Bei’s trust.

Liu Bei looked at Liao Li and asked, "Gong Yuan, what good ideas do you have?"

"Yizhou is rich, and there are countless families in Chengdu. If the lord can ask Zhang Ziqiao to come forward and ask him to donate, he will definitely gain something." Liao Li didn't know that Zhang Song had done this.

When Liu Bei heard this, he said dissatisfiedly: "Zi Qiao has already done it. But these aristocratic families are stingy! There is no hope."

Liao Li knew it in his heart. It seemed that this incident had greatly reduced the awe of the aristocratic families for Liu Bei.

This method doesn't work, Liao Li has other methods and said, "Lord, you may have forgotten a little bit. You still have countless money to use."

"What? Countless money?" Liu Bei was in a state of mind.

Liao Li smiled faintly and said, "Lord, there are several copper mines in Yizhou, which seem to be used for minting coins. If the lord increases his efforts, would he still worry that there is no money to use?"

Yes, Liu Bei himself forgot this point.

Since the chaotic times began, the princes have emerged and the court has been in chaos. Ambitions have not taken the court seriously.

In order to improve their strength, the princes of all walks of life, in addition to privately casting weapons and recruiting soldiers, they were all minted money privately. A prince was very powerful and played a great role in the people's livelihood of the occupied land. The importance of money was very prominent. With a large amount of money, you could buy a large amount of materials, and at the same time you could win people's hearts, and so on a lot of benefits. But for a long time, minting money was handled by the imperial court, and there was no way for local governments to mint money themselves. That was a crime of death and a crime of killing the whole family.

However, for their own ambitions, the princes could not control so much and directly minted coins. Except for the princes who did not have copper mines in their territory, most of the princes would not let go of the convenience brought by minting coins.

There are several copper mines in Yizhou, which are also being excavated.

After being reminded by Liao Li, Liu Bei remembered that he had indeed forgotten this little.

In fact, it is not Liu Bei's fault. He hasn't been in the position of state governor and governor for a long time. Moreover, Xuzhou and Jingzhou where he had been in the past were both wealthy places, so he didn't have to worry about money and food at all. Over time, he forgot.

"Gong Yuan reminded me correctly, but I forgot this little bit." Liu Bei was in a good mood and admitted his mistake.

Liao Li bowed and said, "My lord, as long as you increase the excavation of copper mines and vigorously mint coins, you will probably have a lot of money available soon, and the lord's problem will be solved."

"Okay! This plan is good. Gong Yuan, you have made great contributions!" Liu Bei was very happy, and the problem was finally solved.

"It is all the lord who is wise and powerful, and only then can he be used." Liao Li stood aside happily. Now for him, credit is the most important thing.

Time is tight, and Liu Bei dared not waste more time. He said to his personal soldiers: "Come here, call Fa Xiaozhi to me!"

"When did this Fa Xiaozhi get the lord so trust?!" Liao Li was shocked. Judging from Liu Bei's meaning, the matter of minting money was to be handed over to Fa Zheng.

Liao Li just thought about whether Liu Bei would hand over the money minting to him, so that he could get some money from it.

It’s really a dog that can’t change it!

This was exactly what Liu Bei was worried about, so he chose Fa Zheng, an extremely stingy and upright person to do this.

Soon, Fazheng came.

As soon as Fa Zheng entered the door, he saw Liao Li and his eyes narrowed.

Liao Li hurriedly showed his kindness to Fa Zheng, and now he cannot offend Fa Zheng to death.

Fa Zheng came to Liu Bei with a majestic appearance and bowed and said, "See you below! I wonder what your lord has to give?"

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Xiaozhi, how is the mining of several copper mines in Yizhou?"

"Damn it, Liu Bei's mind is so fast that he actually thought of minting money!" Fa Zheng cursed in his heart.

Fa Zheng hid his thoughts and said respectfully: "Lord, except for the few copper mines in Yizhou, the rest are normal, except for the few places on the south side."

"Okay!" Liu Bei said with a high-high, "Xiaozhi, you will increase your manpower at several copper mines immediately! All of them will be transported to Chengdu!"

When transporting it to Chengdu, it is naturally the one who minted the money by yourself.

Fa Zheng had no choice but to refuse, and nodded and said, "I will definitely not disappoint my lord."

"Well! Xiaozhi, I have always been at ease when doing things. Let go of it boldly!" Liu Bei spoke like a wise ruler.

If Fa Zheng believed him, he would have a ghost, but he could only nod his head timidly.

Money is a big deal. Liu Bei will not hand over all his power to Fazheng. He secretly will also send a special person to supervise Fazheng to mint money.

After receiving the order, Fa Zheng left, leaving Liao Li and Liu Bei in the study. From the beginning, Fa Zheng did not communicate with Liao Li, except for the earliest glances.

Liu Bei suddenly said to Liao Li: "Gongyuan, you will communicate more with your colleagues in the future."

Liu Bei would not say much, but Liao Li's communication with others under his command has always been a big problem. Almost most of Liu Bei's subordinates were inconsistent with Liao Li, which made Liu Bei very embarrassed.

Liao Li said ashamedly: "Lord, I will definitely correct it!"

As for whether it can be changed or not, Liu Bei can do anything about it.

On the other hand, Fa Zheng quietly gave Liu Bei's order to Zhang Song and invited Zhang Song to his home to discuss.

Zhang Song could not stop Liu Bei's sudden idea of ​​the solution.

There are copper mines in Yizhou, but not much is near Chengdu, or under the control of Liu Bei's power. However, a large amount of manpower can be used to cast a large amount of money in a short period of time. This just gave Liu Bei the capital to stabilize the garrison of other counties.

"Zi Qiao, should we send someone to destroy those copper ores?" Fa Zheng proposed a sinister method.

If the copper mine is destroyed, Liu Bei will not have much raw materials to mint money. But that will kill many innocent people. At the same time, Fa Zheng was suspicious of Liu Bei.

"No! If this happens, Xiaozhi will be in danger. You should know that if Liu Bei asked you to be responsible for this matter, there would be problems with the copper mine. Anyone would think of you. What excuses would you give up? Such a long time of arrangement will be in vain!" Zhang Song refused on the spot.

Fa Zheng was very helpless. This made Liu Bei overcome the crisis. If he wanted to get into Liu Bei in the future, he would not know what year or month it would be.

Zhang Song said: "The copper mine will be destroyed, but not now! There are many opportunities in the future, so let's make Liu Bei happy for a few days!"

Zhang Song would not let these copper ores go, he would definitely destroy them.

And Fa Zheng nodded.

Both of them are wise men and know the role of these copper ores. But they completely ignored one thing. There are many innocent people in the copper ores. Once they are destroyed, they don’t know how many people will die.

However, the two of them didn't care at all, and the lives of ordinary people were not worth mentioning in their eyes.

As Liao Li reminded Liu Bei, Fa Zheng increased his efforts to excavate copper ores, and several copper ores near Chengdu City continued to transport the raw materials for making copper coins to Chengdu in the past two days.

A large amount of copper coins were made by craftsmen working overtime.

Seeing so many copper coins, Liu Bei finally felt at ease. The money donated by the Yizhou family and powerful people has already been in place.

So Liu Bei sent money and grain to the wards of the counties and counties in various places, and brought Liu Bei's appointment to them.

The officials of the county and county were all increased by one level, which made many of the county and the generals very happy. They only wanted money, grain and power. Now that Liu Bei was taking it out so readily, it was just their thoughts. Liu Bei was so generous that the officials of the county and county could not help but express it, and they wrote letters to Liu Bei, expressing that they were willing to obey Liu Yu's instructions.

The faintly turbulent situation instantly returned to Liu Bei's control.

Liu Bei could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But the cost this time was a bit too high, and Liu Bei felt distressed even if he thought about it. Liu Bei was now worried about his strength. He could not control a Yizhou tightly, so why would he talk about great things?

Liu Bei felt that his troops and strength were insufficient, so he began to expand his troops on a large scale and became the strongest military in Yizhou.
