=====================================================================================================================

When Guo Jia and Yang Jun heard Liu Ming's words, they thought about it carefully, wasn't that the case? In the past, he and others only regarded these departments as substitutes for the six divisions before the lord's official establishment of the regime, but they did not expect that these departments would have such uses. It seems that they were negligent. And our lord Liu Ming is really not simple.

However, although Guo Jia and Yang Jun realized the mystery of these departments, they still believed that even if these six departments could restrain each other, they should still maintain a certain faction to prevent these departments from joining together, and there is still a danger of undermining Liu Ming.

Unfortunately, before Guo Jia and Yang Jun spoke, Liu Ming, Guo Jia and Yang Jun had been sensational for many years, Liu Ming had already guessed what the two of them were going to say. Therefore, Liu Ming did not wait for Guo Jia and Yang Jun to speak, and then laughed first: "Maybe you think that if the officials of these six ministries are connected together, it will also cause inconvenience in management and dispatch. But if you think about it carefully, even if we do not consider the officials of those six ministries colluding with each other and forming a party, it may be discovered by our secret ministries and thus be punished by me. Let's assume that they have successfully formed a party. But after they form a party, you can evaluate them, how many rebellions and rebellions will be made and can they successfully grasp it?"

Guo Jia and Yang Jun were first expressed their doubts by Liu Ming in advance, and then Liu Ming asked this question. Guo Jia and Yang Jun immediately began to make comprehensive calculations.

First of all, the two of them thought that as Liu Ming said, the government and the people had formed a party at this time, and the ministers colluded with each other, and all their rights were emptied. Then the chances of these ministers' rebellion success should be 100%. After all, the lord Liu Ming had just said that the combined rights of the six ministers is Liu Ming's entire responsibility. Therefore, there should be no other changes in the process.

But Guo Jia and Yang Jun are both smart people after all. And it took more than a day or a half to deal with Liu Ming. Since Liu Ming said that, the intention of the lord Liu Ming is very obvious. So the answer to the lord Liu Ming's question is certain, which shows that there must be other mysteries here.

Guo Jia and Yang Jun discussed with each other and were puzzled. After all, all the possibilities among the court officials have been blocked, and there is no other change. So what is the key point?

Guo Jia watched Liu Ming start drinking tea proudly again, and he felt more and more sure that Liu Ming had other moves. But now it is not possible among the court officials. Could it be that the lord Liu Ming's move is still outside the court officials? Suddenly, Guo Jia had a sudden idea and suddenly realized that what happened. The lord's wrist is really high.

Guo Jia smiled slightly, ready to say what he saw through.

But before Guo Jia could open his mouth, Liu Ming, who had been observing the words and expressions, had already said first: "Hehe, can't guess it? I'll tell you. Even if these officials unite, they will not have any chance to successfully rebel. Because these departments do not have real military power. And if they don't have military power, no matter how fierce they are in unite and have fun, as long as my army arrives, they will only disappear. Moreover, the heads of these departments are just a guide and a leader. The specific matters are handled by the people below. Even if we kill all these ministers, it will not delay much trouble in our Youzhou. At worst, we can reorganize these departments."

Speaking of this, Liu Ming saw that Yang Jun was still a little dissatisfied, and continued, "Of course, you can also say that after these departments are united, they can join forces with a few more generals. But even if they do this, they will still not be able to succeed. You must know that our Youzhou has always been centrally managed by the army, and our generals only have the right to lead the army, but do not have the right to command the army. Those who can really lead the soldiers are only generals at the level of the lieutenant, and can lead three thousand people.

The intermediate generals above will no longer be with the soldiers. Therefore, it is useless for them to win over these generals. But if they win over officials at the level of the lieutenant, a lieutenant can only be 3,000, and our army can eliminate them at any time. How dare they act rashly? What's more, there are still those marching Sima in our army? How could those soldiers easily rebel? Besides, how could our generals and officials be trained in military academy be in vain?”

At this moment, Yang Jun was convinced.

But Liu Ming said with great interest: "Now, there are too few people available for us. This makes you unable to tell. If there are more people available for us in the future, at that time, the army had an independent system, and he was only responsible for fighting on the battlefield and defending the frontier, and he ignored everything else. The administrative department also had an independent system, and he was only responsible for the peace and prosperity of the people and the prosperity of the country. He would ignore anything else. At the same time, our people's sentiment and discipline inspection department would also become a system in the future, specifically responsible for complaints about various cases.

Separate the judiciary and administration. Maintain the purity of the judiciary, and monitor the political achievements and military discipline at any time. The operating funds of these three departments are unified from the taxes, profits and wealth obtained by the administrative departments. These funds are uniformly handed over to the treasury, and then we directly supply them to the military departments, administrative construction, and judicial departments according to a certain proportion. Then there is no interest exchange between them. In this way, military, judicial, and political affairs are not subordinate to each other and perform their own duties. How can our great cause be unstable? How can the world be peaceful and peaceful?"

At this point, Guo Jia and Yang Jun were even more promising to Liu Ming foresight and clever arrangements, and admired him.

Yang Jun immediately expressed his remorse and decided to try to deal with the issue of this faction after he went back. But Liu Ming said lightly at this time: "Since the faction has already emerged, there is no need to care about them. Let them die for themselves. This can also lead to some unstable factors lurking below. However, those newspapers must be well mastered, and no factional behavior can appear in the newspapers. Youzhou's public opinion guidance must always be firmly grasped in our hands."

All the strategies and projects are being implemented in an orderly manner. At this time, Liu Ming could only sit and watch the years pass and time pass.

In a blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.

There have been quite a lot of things in the past year.

First, Huang Zhong and Gao Shun successfully completed the task assigned by Liu Ming and returned with 20,000 elite soldiers.

Secondly, the navy formed by Ganning also had a certain scale. Although Ganning's fleet did not dare to go to the outer sea to show off. However, there was no problem in fighting along the inland sea coast. In particular, Ganning supervised the construction of twenty tower ships that could carry 20 soldiers and six hundred rushing ships that could carry 30 soldiers, which sailed on the sea surface. It was also particularly spectacular.

In addition, Mi Zhu's chamber of commerce was also the first prototype. The most successful one was the determination of the exchange rate of copper coins. The second was to make a huge number of slave transactions.

The cause of this incident was that Cao Cao envied Liu Ming for his power of the cavalry, and he thought about it day and night, and planned to make one by himself. But the reality is that even if you have money, you can't buy a horse. Now the source of horses in the world is in the hands of Liu Ming and Dong Zhuo. If others want to buy a horse, but these two people don't nod, that's a delusion.

Dong Zhuo wouldn't say anything. But even Liu Ming sold everything in trade, but Liu Ming had three major controls on weapons control (including steel control), horse control, and food control. No matter it is a transaction of large and small, as long as it is intertwined with three control sides, it has to be reviewed and approved layer by layer. Even so, the horse prices from Central Plains to the south soared more than a hundred times. But in this way, there are often prices but no markets.

Even the poor general, a good general, finally changed his rank.

In this case, Cao Cao could only send Liu Ming a humble letter and make friends with Liu Ming well. Finally, he asked Liu Ming to sell him some of his skills.

Liu Ming was worthy of Cao Cao, so he really agreed. However, Liu Ming agreed in the approval process. The specific operation will be handed over to the chamber of commerce of Mi Zhu to carry out.

The Chamber of Commerce was unambiguous and gave Cao Cao a 50% discount. A horse only costs 150 taels of gold. But even so, Cao Cao would be dizzy at that time. If he bought 10,000 horses, it would have to be 1.5 million taels of gold. Cao Cao went there to take the drum.

Finally, Liu Mingde Chamber of Commerce gave Cao Cao the greatest concession, exchanged physical goods for 10,000 horses for 300,000 kilograms of iron ore, and added 50,000 strong slaves, of which no less than 10,000 female slaves were allowed.

Originally, the female slave was wanted to consider the balance of the population in Youzhou. But after Cao Cao saw this, he tried to change the female slaves of 10,000 to 20,000.

But no matter what, this is the largest single transaction since the founding of the Chamber of Commerce. In the end, the Chamber of Commerce still fulfilled Cao Cao's small wish. At the same time, it sent Cao Cao, fine wine, paper, high-quality salt, etc., which was unregulated in Youzhou. Cao Cao could be given the greatest discount, and all the supply was 50% off, and it would be as much as you want and guaranteed. From then on, he established a trading partner relationship with Cao Cao.

Finally, after Lu Bu came out of the military academy, he was sent back by Liu Ming. Moreover, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others were all sent to the Wuhuan headquarters for several times. They trained their military qualities for a long time. As a result, more Wuhuan tribes directly gave up their status as subordinates of the Han Dynasty and chose to become a formal citizen of Youzhou like their other compatriots.

In fact, Liu Ming had already completed training for his infantry half a year ago. According to the plan, Liu Ming should have set out to attack Gongsun Du. But first of all, it happened to be the spring plowing time, and Liu Ming did not want to miss this spring plowing season. Another thing is that Liu Ming's arms race plan was implemented so smoothly. So Liu Ming deliberately dragged it on, making the finances of these princes more difficult.

Over the past year, in order to realize this arms race, his army has been expanded. Now, Liu Ming's total troops in Youzhou and Bingzhou have reached 500,000.

However, although Liu Mingde's troops have increased, the number of personnel has not increased much.

The main reason is that with the help and analysis of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, Liu Ming believed that it was not necessary to form too many iron armored heavy cavalry. Nowadays, only Dong Zhuo has some heavy cavalry, and other princes have few cavalry, so they cannot use so many heavy cavalry at all. Moreover, most areas in the Central Plains are not convenient for cavalry troops to carry out large-scale combat. As for the nomadic peoples outside the border, heavy cavalry is of little use to them.

The troops of the nomadic people are all light cavalry and fast horses. With the weight of heavy cavalry, they can't catch up with others at all. No matter how powerful your heavy cavalry is, you can't defeat them, isn't that useless? So, Liu Ming finally cut off the heavy cavalry troops to fix them at a number of 50,000, while the cavalry expanded to 200,000. Similarly, Liu Ming's heavy infantry was also limited to 30,000, while the light infantry was expanded to 150,000, special forces, 20,000, divine bow soldiers, and 20,000 sailors.

If you want to talk about Liu Ming's army of 500,000, the number of people is really not small. But at that time, Liu Ming had a population of more than 7 million, and Liu Ming moved more than one million from Luoyang, conquering Bingzhou and gaining more than one million. In addition to other slave transactions, the surrender of various Wuhuan tribes is now more than tens of millions in the area ruled by Liu Ming. Therefore, Liu Ming's military strength was only a system of 20 draws and one acquisition, which had no big impact on the development and construction of Youzhou and Bingzhou.

But other princes were not able to do it. Dong Zhuo could not defeat Liu Ming based on his superior forces. Now that Liu Ming has expanded his army with such a big fanfare, how could Dong Zhuo stand it? Under the oppression of a sense of crisis, Dong Zhuo naturally expanded his army wildly. But how many people were there in Dong Zhuo? So in order to expand his troops, Dong Zhuo recruited a large number of Qiang people, Xiongnu and other alien races. In the end, Dong Zhuo stationed 800,000 troops, pretending to be a million. Then he calmed down.
