Liu Bei survived the disaster. I wonder if Liu Yu would feel emotional if he knew about it, or would he send someone to get rid of Liu Bei?

This will take you to find out later.

Liu Yu punished Feng Ji and Xin Ping. After packing up their things, they set off for Luoyang immediately.

Originally, they were rarely taken out by Liu Yu this time and planned to make contributions. No one expected that because of their temporary jealousy, they would have to go back to think about their mistakes behind closed doors and return to the court in the future.

When the emperor was angry, all the ministers who were powerful in the court were all small shrimps. The biggest person in the Shenwu court was Liu Yu.

With the two chickens Feng Ji and Xin Ping being slaughtered, the other monkeys became much more well-behaved and worked hard.

When Feng Ji and Xin Ping returned to Luoyang, the matter spread, and the ministers were all obedient and did not dare to violate it. After Liu Xuan learned about it, he secretly sighed that he had many ways to learn from his father.

In Yizhou, Liu Yu's decree was delivered to Sima Yi, who was suppressing the local area.

Sima Yi, who had already regretted himself, was as if he had been injected with chicken blood when he received the imperial edict from Liu Yu.

"Haha! One day, Sima Yi can finally overwhelm others and take on the big responsibility alone!" Sima Yi was so happy.

This time, Liu Yu asked him to be in charge of the important task of conquering Jiangdong, which was to give him the opportunity to make contributions. You should know that Sima Yi was anxious after watching Zhuge Liang make contributions these days. He didn't want to be surpassed by anyone, especially Zhuge Liang, who was similar to him. Unfortunately, Liu Yu always attached importance to Zhuge Liang and did not give Sima Yi too much. Sima Yi also wanted to prove himself in front of Liu Yu.

Now that Liu Yu finally gave him a chance, and handed over the last task of unifying the world to him. If Sima Yi doesn't work hard, he will really be sorry for this opportunity.

But when Sima Yi learned that Zhuge Liang recommended him as the head coach, his mood was a bit complicated.

Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang secretly formed a family in-laws, and the two were considered to be an alliance. However, this kind of political marriage can only be said to be mutual use, but Sima Yi found it difficult to really make Zhuge Liang recommend him.

Sima Yi felt that he was going to owe Zhuge Liang a favor.

Sima Yi, who received the imperial edict of Liu Yu, immediately rushed to Ba County with his troops, because Liu Yu asked them to set off immediately and gather in Ba County. As for the food and support issues, they would be solved on the spot.

Before the three armies moved, food and grass came first. But the current situation was different from before. Sima Yi went to Jingzhou, which was his own territory. Jingzhou was rich, so food and grass were not a problem.

But Sima Yi always feels that he is a little unjustified. After all, in addition to the imperial edict, the most important thing for such an appointment is to have a tiger talisman.

However, Liu Yu asked Sima Yi to set off immediately, and Sima Yi could only do it. According to the Han system, without the tiger talisman, the troops could not be mobilized. However, after Liu Yu's emperor, the rules changed. Liu Yu's imperial edict was even greater than the tiger talisman. In the Shenwu court, no one dared to risk the death of killing the whole family to forge and tamper with the imperial edict. Of course, this is a hidden danger.

Sima Yi took Liu Yu's imperial edict to Ba County.

Ma Chao and Gao Shun have already set up a formation in Jiangzhou City of Ba County and are waiting for him. There is no way, Ma Chao and Gao Shun are very close to Ba County.

Ma Chao stood side by side with his brothers.

As soon as he saw Sima Yi, Ma Chao went over and joked: "Haha, Zhongda, you are the head coach, how come you came in the end?"

Ma Chao and Sima Yi cooperated more than once, and Ma Chao was relaxed in front of Sima Yi.

Sima Yi raised his lips and asked back, "If you were in my place, can you see if you could arrive early?"

"No need to question this. I am all under my command, so the marching speed is naturally fast." Ma Chao said proudly.

Sima Yi didn't talk to Ma Chao anymore. With Ma Chao's personality and character, he would not think that he would be worse than others.

Between Ma Chao and Sima Yi, Gao Shun came forward with a few civil and military officials and said, "The last general Gao Shun has met the governor."

Gao Shun was the general of Jingzhou, and Sima Yi was the newly appointed governor of Jingzhou. By rank, Sima Yi was Gao Shun's superior.

"General Gao is polite!" Sima Yi did not dare to be arrogant. He knew that Gao Shun had a great say in front of Liu Yu.

Gao Shun is very low-key, so low-key that others will forget his existence. Gao Shun will do whatever Liu Yu wants Gao Shun to do. All the civil and military officials in the court know that Gao Shun has a great position in Liu Yu's heart. If Liu Yu is in a desperate situation and anyone can rely on him, Gao Shun is one.

Gao Shun was taciturn and stood aside with a slight bow.

Sima Yi knew Gao Shun's character, and it was definitely a good thing to have such a brave war and a general who didn't talk much.

"Meng Qi, are the soldiers, horses, food and grass ready?" Sima Yi asked.

Ma Chao smiled and said, "How could such a small thing not be prepared! General Gao's aides are all ready. Just wait for Zhongda, you give your order!"

Sima Yi smiled softly. In Ma Chao's opinion, food and supplies were such an important matter, and he didn't know if Ma Chao was too determined or brave.

Jiang Wan, who was standing behind Gao Shun, immediately came out and said, "Governor Sima, the boats and food are all ready, and you can set off at any time."

"Since that's the case, without further ado, our army will immediately act according to Your Majesty's order!" Sima Yi glanced at Jiang Wan, but felt that this person seemed very elegant.

Fifty thousand soldiers began to gather and walked into the boats prepared by Jiang Wan one after another.

"Meng Qi, I see that the civil servant behind General Gao is very extraordinary, and I don't know his name?" Sima Yi was very interested in Jiang Wan.

Ma Chao replied: "That civil official, named Jiang Wan, is named Gongyan, and is a native of Jingzhou. He has great abilities. I heard that General Gao was able to win many battles this time, and he was the one who gave advice! And I also heard that he was an official of Liu Bei before, but Liu Bei was blind and did not find this talent."

"So that's it!" Sima Yi understood, it turned out to be Jiang Wan.

Sima Yi had known about Liu Yu before. Liu Yu admired a man named Jiang Wan very much, and it seemed that he was him.

Sima Yi slowly came to Jiang Wan's face.

"See the Governor!" Jiang Wan immediately saluted Sima Yi.

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Gong Yan, I have heard of your name from Your Majesty. Your Majesty admires you very much. I didn't expect that when I saw my true face, I am worthy of being a master!"

Jiang Wan was a little excited. His name actually reached Liu Yu's ears. This was a big good thing.

Jiang Wan said modestly: "I really don't dare to take it."

"Don't be so humble. In the court, as long as you are a talent, Your Majesty will use it. This time, this conquest of Jiangdong, please help me with your governor." Sima Yi said softly.

"Don't worry, the governor, the subordinates will do their best." Jiang Wan's favor for Sima Yi continued to rise.

Compared with Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi likes to win over others more.

Sima Yi nodded with a smile and walked straight to the flagship. This was a high-ranking official like him.

Fifty thousand soldiers quickly boarded the ship, then set sail, heading downstream, and stormed towards Jiangdong, where the result of Yizhou is still unknown.

During this period, news of Liu Bei's death spread throughout Yizhou.

The people all breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Bei was dead, so the war could be declared over.

Indeed, the war in Yizhou stopped soon.

Whether loyal to the court or Liu Bei, they chose to truce. The counties and counties that were loyal to Liu Bei had no loyal masters, and there was no meaning to continue to resist stubbornly, so they decisively opened the city to surrender.

It took only a few days for the situation in Yizhou to recover from stability.

Liu Yu also asked Zhuge Liang, Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others to start to appease the people and restore people's livelihood. The checkpoints in Yizhou, Jingzhou, Hanzhong and Guanzhong were all opened, and merchants were encouraged to enter Yizhou for trade.

The best way to restore people's livelihood is to trade circulation. When merchants are prosperous, the people will feel more at ease. The means of encouragement are very simple. Liu Yute aims to reduce taxes by 10% within three months for any merchant who trades in Yizhou. This is a big deal!

Throughout the dynasties, the ruling class has charged merchants very high taxes. Reducing 10% of the taxes will make merchants very happy.

Yizhou is a country of Tianfu, with a large number of exquisite Shu brocades and various medicinal materials. Merchants will not miss this opportunity to make a big fortune. So the merchants from Jingzhou, Hanzhong, and Guanzhong travel thousands of miles to Yizhou.

Liu Yu also discovered a situation left by Liu Bei, which was that Liu Bei was minting coins randomly, and there were some copper coins that were ten coins, and even twenty coins that were twenty coins. This made Liu Yu so angry.

You should know that Liu Bei was trying to plunder people's wealth by doing this. The money in the hands of the people was worth nothing at all.

Now that Yizhou has been taken down by Liu Yu, Liu Yu will take on the mess.

Liu Yu is a wise ruler, so we can't say that we don't recognize the money in the hands of the people. The people have been searched by Liu Bei. If the money in the hands cannot be used, the people will be in trouble. This is definitely a huge hidden danger for Yizhou.

Liu Yu immediately instructed Zhuge Liang and others to prepare sufficient copper coins to exchange the copper coins in the hands of the people. If the copper coins in the hands of the people were ten coins, exchange them for ten coins.

Zhuge Liang and Zhang Song, Fa Zheng wanted to stop it, because it was obviously the pit that Liu Bei dug before and let the court bury it. Once this example was made, in the future, in order to resist Liu Yu, Sun Ce in Jiangdong would seize the wealth of the people, just like Liu Bei, so the court would have to pay the bill again? No matter where there will be troublemakers, they would commit fraud to exchange for the court's money. Should the court change it or not?

But Liu Yu didn't care. He was rich and powerful now, and Liu Bei was not be kind and righteous. As the emperor, he had to be kind and righteous.

"I wish I could bear the suffering of the people in Yizhou, like a mere small profit without regard to the survival of the people." This is what Liu Yu said.

Zhuge Liang and his friends' concerns were not unreasonable. When they found that Liu Yu insisted on doing this, they made a precautionary suggestion besides shouting that His Majesty benevolence and righteousness. That is, the people of Yizhou would exchange the money they had privately minted by Liu Bei to the government for exchange within a month. After the expiration, who dared to use the old money from the Liu Bei period would be equivalent to treason. Local officials should ensure that all the people would replace the coins issued by the court. If someone found out that they were cheating, no matter who they were, they would be killed.

This measure is very good, Liu Yu agreed readily, and added one. Anyone who comes to change coins needs to register! If you don’t register, you cannot change it.

As soon as the government order was issued, the people cheered.

Before, the people were worried that the money they had in their hands would not be used, but in fact, the merchants who came to Yizhou were unwilling to collect money they had in their hands. Now the court decided to exchange the old money back, and it was replaced in full. The people directly called on Your Majesty to be kind. As for registering their names, the people had no scruples on this little detail.

This made the aristocratic families distressed. They did not want to know their wealth by anyone, including the court. However, the court said that if they did not register, they could not change it. Even if they found someone to change it, it would be a drop in the bucket. The court could follow the clues to find them.

Local officials surrendered to the court, and for a while, there were not so many officials in the court, so they could only be retained for their original positions. In fact, changing coins is an opportunity to salvage them. However, no official dared to extend his own hand of corruption. Because the decree mentioned that if someone found fraud, he would be executed directly.

No one would doubt the authenticity of this sentence. What's more, there is Liu Yu, a great god in Chengdu City, who is so brave enough to cause trouble at this time? Not to mention the whole family's execution, there may not even be any possibility that future generations will overturn the verdict.

The matter of changing coins proceeded very quickly. All the copper coins in the Chengdu treasury were taken out and reminiscented for replacing old coins.

Zhang Song and Fa Zheng watched so much money move out of the treasury, and their feelings were complicated.

Others always think of ways to make money, even the emperor is no exception. For example, Liu Yu's nominal father Liu Hong is a representative figure who likes to plunder money. But Liu Yu, money is really dirt in his eyes.

Zhang Song even doubted whether Liu Yu was Liu Hong's son, so why did he not look like Liu Hong at all?

The entire Yizhou was busy changing coins, and it went very smoothly, without any trouble.

In fact, the reason why Liu Yu insisted on changing the coins was to understand the wealth in the hands of the people, and the most important thing was the wealth in the hands of aristocratic families and officials. These materials were never available before.

Liu Yu had to admire his brain. Once the wealth in the hands of aristocratic families and officials was exposed, the "Dark Ministry" could investigate based on the amount of wealth to see if these officials and families violated the law and discipline.

"I am really wise!" Liu Yu started selling melons and boasted about himself.
