"So much?" Liu Mang was stunned by the numbers Xu Shu said. Where did he get so much food and grass from Yangzhou? It's not the autumn harvest now. They missed the autumn harvest. They didn't miss the spring plowing this time. (23w[x] Liu Mang went to Jingzhou and borrowed so much food from Jingzhou. Can you still eat more food and grass?

"Lord, the third batch of grain and grass in Jingzhou was suspended after the lord disappeared. The first two batches of grain and grass were sent to Lujiang except for the depleted ones! "The 200,000 grain and grass in Lujiang were sent from Jingzhou.

"Where did Shouchun's 500,000 come from?" Liu Mang asked.

"These 500,000 was also given by Liu Jingzhou." Xu Shu explained to Liu Mang.

"Yeah? Liu Biao is so good?" Liu Mang was a little stunned.

"It's not that Liu Biao is so good, but we took it ourselves. Nanjun, the capital of Nanjun, Jingzhou Nanjun, has been taken down by us." Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.

"Take Jiangling?" Liu Mang quickly turned his head. There was a map on the table behind him, with part of the terrain of Jingzhou on it. There was the Yangtze River in front of Jiangling, and behind it was Huarong Road. How did they pass through "starting from the waterway?" Liu Mang thought that there were no opponents of the Yangzhou navy in the Yangtze River, and only the waterway could pass.

But Jingzhou is too stupid. The main naval army in Jingzhou has been destroyed on the Yangtze River. He actually released the waterway. Isn’t this seeking death?

"The lord is not from the waterway! This waterway has been blocked by Jingzhou!" Those wrecks cannot be cleaned up in a day or two, so for Yangzhou, it is really difficult to completely clean up the wrecks.

"Is that from Huarong Road?" Although Liu Mang had never been to Huarong Road. But even in Xiangyang, he had heard people talk about the dangers of Huarong Road. There was a swamp that was thousands of miles away, with miasma and mud, and there was no one who accidentally had no corpse.

"Master, can you know the Wu family in Jiangling!" Xu Shu asked Liu Mang.

"Jiangling Ship King?" Everyone may not know who the head of the Wu family is, but when it comes to Jiangling Wu family, you know the Jiangling Ship King's House. It can be said that half of the merchant ships boarding and leaving Jingzhou came from the Wu family, and the captain of the Wu family in Xiangyang is even the place of origin of Jingzhou warships.

"That's right, it's the Wu family, the Wu family, the Wu family is over!"

"Is the Wu family finished?" That was a huge gentry. Although it was not as big as the Huang family's Cai family's Kuai family, it was still a wealthy gentry. I remember Kuai Yue also said that the master behind the Wu family was the Huang family.

"Is it destroyed by our army?" No one in Jingzhou should touch him, so the only one who can destroy the Wu family is their Yangzhou soldiers.

"No! Being our Young Master Liu Pan!"

"Liu Pan?" Isn't this Liu Pan his own person.

"Liu Pan and Huang She fought for power, and the Wu family became victims!" Only then did Liu Mang realize that "The hundreds of people from the Wu family were destroyed by Liu Pan, leaving behind a Wu family woman, Miss Wu. This Miss Wu is also a figure. She went to our army's camp in Shiyang and found Lu Xun. She gave the topographic map of Huarong Road to Lu Xun, and Lu Xun took two thousand elite soldiers to Huarong Road and attacked Jiangling! She forced Jiang to surrender

The general of Ling, captured Jiangling. Xu Shu had not made it clear yet. After taking Jiangling, Jiangling prefect wanted to retake Jiangling and prepare to cooperate with the Jingzhou army outside. It was about to succeed. Lu Xun was still young after all, so he believed too much about Jiangling prefect Dong Zhi. As long as Dong Zhi opened the city gate and cooperated with the Jingzhou army outside the city, Lu Xun's more than a thousand Yangzhou army and the soldiers who persuaded surrender would not be able to pass Jiangling.

But I didn't expect that the army outside came to rescue the Jingzhou army was not someone else but the Changsha prefect Huang Zu.

Miss Wu wrote a letter to Huang Zu and told Huang Zu that Dong Zhi was the second son Liu Pan. If Jiangling was taken, the second son Liu Pan would have the credit to occupy the majority. Originally, the Huang family was at a disadvantage in the battle with Liu Pan. If the credit to taking Jiangling was given to Liu Pan, Huang She would not be able to compete with Liu Pan in Xiangyang.

With Miss Wu’s letter, it was fake that the Huang family said that he had no guilt to the Wu family. After all, the Huang family was destroyed and the Huang family watched it. If he didn’t take action, it would be too late to take action. The Wu family and the Huang family were considered family friends.

So Huang Zu simply pretended to be stupid. Dong Zhi was stunned when he opened the city gate. He shouted to welcome the royal army to recover Jiangling. Huang Zu sold him in Jingzhou. The last time he waited for Dong Zhi was taken down by Lu Xun and cut off on the city wall.

Miss Wu finally avenged her avenge.

After visiting Huarong Road once, the Huarong Road was not so mysterious. Tens of thousands of troops were paving the groundwork on Huarong Road and slowly rushed out a way. Only then did the army continuously enter Jiangling, and the food and grass from Jiangling began to be transported out.

This is why Yangzhou is not short of food and grass now.

"Lord, don't know. In Jiangling, there are 800,000 stones of food and grass, and 100,000 weapons of various types!" Lu Xun gave Changsha Huangzu 200,000 yuan, keeping the 100,000 yuan for his own use. All the weapons and armor were melted. Now the armor of the Jingzhou Army is no longer seen by the Yangzhou Army, and their armor is remade.

"Where are the sweet potatoes that I sowed when I left?" Liu Mang remembered and asked afterwards. The time for sweet potatoes to mature is three to four months, that is, ninety to one hundred and twenty days. Calculate the time, it should be ripe now.

"Master, your sweet potatoes." Xu Shu frowned and said.

"What's wrong?" Liu Mang felt a little nervous when he saw Xu Shu. He knew that he wanted those sweet potatoes to improve the fields and prevent the people from having enough food.

"Those sweet potatoes are not delicious!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.

"Haha!" Liu Mang was frightened by Xu Shu and he thought those sweet potato seeds were useless.

"Those are not something you can eat!" The people of the Central Plains have never eaten sweet potatoes, so they will naturally be a little uncomfortable with the taste of sweet potatoes, but they will adapt slowly soon. "Go and take out all the sweet potatoes. Cut each piece of sweet potato into several segments. As long as it is so big!" Liu Mang gestured to the people under his hands, and then cut these chopped ones into the land according to the comparison! "

"Lord. This should be planted directly? Is this useful after cutting it off?" Xu Shu couldn't get the sweet potato, but he knew how to plow the spring. He didn't know what the sweet potato was, and what the fruits were. Does this fruit grow in the land?

"Don't worry, do what I said! Forget it, I will go over and supervise it myself." Liu Mang said to Xu Shu because he was worried. Sweet potatoes are a plant with strong roots. As long as they are not too much, if you cut them into pieces of the same size and bury them in the land, they will be seeds and fruits will naturally grow in the next year.

"Ahhh, there is something like this!" Xu Shu said in surprise.

"That's natural, Yuanzhi, you've also seen the output of that thing!"

"Yeah!" Xu Shu nodded. He was a little serious. Those things called sweet potatoes by his lord could actually yield 2,000 kilograms per mu. This number completely scared Xu Shu. So Xu Shu had been sending heavy troops there and did not dare to leak the news.

"It's only two thousand pounds!" Liu Mang frowned. Xu Shu was even more surprised when he looked at Liu Mang's dissatisfied look. He looked very dissatisfied with his lord.

Liu Mang was indeed dissatisfied. Because according to the seeds brought back by Liu Mang, the output value should be about 2,500 kilograms, that is, the yield per mu is about 5,000 kilograms, rather than double the amount now.

However, Liu Mang was relieved when he thought about it, because there were no fertilizers, other hormones that stimulate growth and pesticides that prevent pests, so it is understandable that the output value is lower.

"First plant our military fields, Yuan Zhi must keep them confidential and give them to the people after next year!" Liu Mang said to Xu Shu. Without Liu Mang's words, Xu Shu knew the importance, and nodded.

"These days have made everyone suffer!" Liu Mang patted Xu Shu on the shoulder.

"Lord, there is one more thing, I want to tell you!" Xu Shu said with his fists.

"kindness?"

"Master, we have already established a relationship with Gongsun Du from Liaodong!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.

"Have you found the direction of the sea route?" Liu Mang asked with wide eyes.

‘Yes lord!” Xu Shu nodded.

"What did Gongsun Du from Liaodong say?" Liu Mang asked Xu Shu. He wanted to open the sea route to get a war horse from Gongsun Du from Liaodong. He had no chance before, but now he has opened the sea route, so he will naturally not let it go.

"He wants fifty gold to one war horse!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.

"Fifty gold one? Haha why didn't he rob it!" Liu Mang was angry. The news that was originally very good was angered by the lion of Gongsun Du in Liaodong. Although the fifty gold one was already very cheap in the Central Plains, you have to know that they were trading in Liaodong, and that Gongsun Du could not transport the war horses to him in Yangzhou. If they were transported here, they would naturally be all of them. If they were so high, they were not responsible for transportation. Liu Mang would be so happy.

"This envoy of Gongsun Du came with General Gan Ning. He couldn't discuss with you. Shu made his own decision and finally traded with ten gold and one war horse!" Fifty gold turned into ten gold, and Xu Shu also worked hard. Although war horses in the north were not worth the price at all, and there were a large number of wild horses caught, it was now a seller's market, and people didn't have to sell them to you if they had goods.

"Okay, give it to him!" Liu Mang's face was very bad. It would be not a bad thing to be able to solve it with money.

"This Gongsun Du still wants to ask for the same thing as his lord!"

"What?"

"He wants the sweaty and bloody horses in the hands of his lord Wen Hou!"

"Don't he have war horses in Liaodong!"

"He wants these war horses to breed." This time, the envoy sent by Gongsun Zan from Liaodong was still a Sigma man, so it can be seen that this good horse and bad horse, and the war horses among the Bingzhou wolf cavalry made the horse-knowing eyes lit up immediately. They were definitely good horses, and they were all sweaty horses, so he wanted these war horses to breed.

"The lord, these war horses must not be given!" Zhuge Liang, who had not spoken for a long time, also spoke.

The matter of marching war horses can be big or small. If you talk about it, it means that you can give birth to a small horseman. If you talk about it, it means that the breed of war horses among the Bingzhou wolf riders can completely transform the war horses in Liaodong, just like the Japanese Oriental Horse.

The original Oriental Horse, also known as Japanese Horses, were only a little over one meter. That's because the Japanese were only about one meter, two meter, three meter, and one meter, five meter, four meter, that's called a tall man.

Later, the Japanese also realized that their horses were not good, so he found various horses to match them, and finally the tall and big Eastern horses were found.

"Give it to him!" I thought Liu Mang would not give it to him, but I didn't expect that Liu Mang was quite generous.

"Master?"

"This war horse is not for nothing. Gongsun Du needs to exchange for every war horse. Liu Mang said to them.

"Master, this?"

"Kongming, Gongsun Du cannot match these war horses. Even if they can match them, he cannot use them. Liaodong belongs to the north, and the Arab war horses brought by Liu Mang cannot adapt at all. They are horses from tropical desert areas. They are almost the same in the Jiangnan area. When they go to the north, only those furs like Mongolian horses can survive. Just like when you wear too much, you go to the south. If you feel hot, you can shave off your hair and take off your clothes, but if you wear a big shorts and a small vest to go to the north, there is no other choice except to freeze you to death.

"yes!"

"By the way. After letting Gan Ning manage the sea access, don't forget to try to explore the outer sea!" Liu Mang said to Liu Ye next to him, and asked Liu Ye to give Gan Ning a map from the books he brought back.

This map is naturally a simple version, just telling Gan Ning what is in the offshore sea.

If Liu Mang was not wrong, he would have been able to discover Taiwan by going to the estuary of the Yangtze River.

"Lord, Kong Ming has no clear position in my Yangzhou now!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang that he wanted to ask for an official position for Zhuge Liang. Even Li Yan, a subordinate of Zhuge Liang, is now the minister of the Armed Police Department, and Zhuge Liang is still idle and it is no longer a pity.

"This is no problem!" Liu Mang also thought of Xu Shu's hard work, and he could not arrange the tasks and perform his duties. Xu Shu would sooner or later die of fatigue.

"Tell me the king's order, and I will set up six ministries in Yangzhou!" Liu Mang said to the people under his command.

"Six Divisions?" Xu Shu didn't expect Liu Mang's actions to be so big.

"Officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and laborers" Liu Mang expressed his thoughts. The six ministries, starting from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, were collectively called the various ministries of the central administrative agencies. Their positions were originally divided by the nine ministers during the Qin and Han Dynasties. After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Shangshu divided the Cao affairs, and Cao gradually changed into the ministries. The Sui and Tang Dynasties established the six ministries as part of the Shangshu Province. The six ministries of the officials, households, rituals, soldiers, and punishments were compared with the six officials attached to the "Zhou Li", and the positions of the nine ministers of the Qin and Han Dynasties were merged into.

Liu Mang took out the things from the Sui and Tang Dynasties first, and Liu Mang also wanted to use this new type of official in modern society at once, but the food was not something that could be eaten in one bite.

So you can only use the six parts to ease them first.

"The Ministry of Personnel is the agency that manages civil servants. It is in charge of the system of selection of civil servants, the method of examination and promotion, the rules of awarding and awarding, and the method of determining the final system. The Ministry of Personnel has four departments: the Qing official department, the Verification Department, the Jue Junior Office, and the Examination Department. The Wenxuan official is in charge of the rank and ranking of civil servants, the examination and awarding, the selection, promotion, and the monthly selection. The Verification Department is in charge of the title, the official position, the grace, the difficulty of the protection of the favor, the request for the title, the donation, and other matters. The Jue Junior Office is in charge of civil servants, the system of maintenance, the succession, the inheritance of officials, the rename and the name of the reunion of the surname. The Examination Department is in charge of the disciplinary and discussion of civil servants, the handling of the Beijing inspection, and the plan." Liu Mang said the responsibilities of the Ministry of Personnel one by one.

"Where is Lu Su!" Liu Mang finished speaking the functions of the Ministry of Personnel and shouted.

Lu Su was stunned on the other side, and he was still chewing on the role of the Ministry of Personnel that Liu Mang said.

"Lu Su Lu Zijing, I will hand over the Ministry of Personnel in Yangzhou to you. Lu Su Lu Zijing is my Minister of Personnel in Yangzhou!" Liu Mang said to Lu Su with a smile. It was not without consideration that Lu Su was a person. He was a surrendered general before, so the civil and military officials in Yangzhou were still very cold to Lu Su, so Lu Su would not form a clique. Lu Su was originally an upright person. This can be seen from the fact that Lu Su did not accept bribes when he was the military advisor of Jiangdong. The Lu family almost had no money to redeem him. If Lu Su was corruption, the Lu family would have become a wealthy family, but because the daughter asked his grandfather to be a grandma.

"Ahhhhh!" Lu Su was confused by Liu Mang. "Lord, Lu Su is a newly-reduced person, so he should not be given this important task!" Lu Su hurriedly refused. The official position of the Ministry of Personnel is quite large, and he can take the political achievements of the school officials. He can be exempted from officials and supervised officials. It is just like the Organization Department and the Procuratorate. It can be said that all officials in Yangzhou can be official. This is an important position. The following Yangzhou civil and military officials are all coveting.

"A new person? Haha, even if you surrender, so what if you surrender? I lord, I don't have to use people. As long as you Lu Su have the ability, it's not bad for you to be the Minister of Personnel!" Liu Mang asked Lu Su to be such a high-ranking official and had another purpose, that was, he would use Lu Su as a thousand miles of horses. He bought a horse for a thousand dollars. Lu Su was not famous in this world. He lost several wars in his debut, so there were many people who looked down on him.

Among these individuals, there are talented people and Mei talented people. They thought that Lu Su could all be the Minister of Personnel. Why could they not do this? His Highness, the King of Shu, is a talent-loving person, so he can bring talents from all over the world to Yangzhou. Lu Su was a surrendered general and could comfort people's hearts.

Jiangdong and Jingzhou are all places that Liu Mang wants to take. The gentry in Jingzhou does not need to be comforted as long as the Kuai family and the Cai family are there, but Jiangdong Liu Mang cannot break through. Now he is good to Lu Su, which is to give some people in Jiangdong who have the idea of ​​subjugation. That is, as long as you surrender, I, Liu Mang, will treat you kindly.

"Su, thank you lord for your kindness!" Lu Su looked at it and refused to take it. He also knew that once he became the Minister of Personnel in Yangzhou, he would never be able to go back to Jiangdong, but he was still very happy. Didn't Lu Su want a stage that could show his Lu Su's abilities? This Ministry of Personnel is a big stage.

"The Ministry of Personnel is the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of all the territory, land, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters in Yangzhou. The internal government affairs are divided according to the regional division of labor. There is only one department in Yangzhou before it is divided. In addition to calculating the money and grain of the state, each department also manages some common affairs of other yamen. Its responsibilities are mostly cross-sectional. The three yamen in the Ministry of Revenue that is in charge of storage and storage. The warehouse yamen in charge of storage and storage." Liu Mang said the responsibilities of the Ministry of Revenue, that is, the Ministry of Commerce. There is a right to mint coins, which makes many people below reflect the eyes of minting coins. Now who is not minting in the world? There are Jiangdong big coins in Jiangzhou, Jingzhou Tongbao, and Luoyang. Although Han coins are mainly Han coins, the copper coins in each mansion are still in use.
