After Liu Bu's first-hand establishment and reversal, today's Liu family army has become a huge warlord and chaebol group.

Their military force provided protection for their local regime and business, and they also provided military supplies for the army in the local area, allowing them to complement each other and become a whole. This is also one of the reasons why the Ming Dynasty's current taboos towards the Liu family, because even if they are blind, they can see the threat and instability of the Liu family.

Of course, this threat from the Liu family has not reached the point where the whole people oppose it, but the court opposes him. Why is this? Because the Liu family has cleverly established an interest alliance, which mainly erodes the interests of the court, unlike other forces that swallow up local interests, which makes local oppositions and the court dislike them.

What they eroded the interests of the court, so they turned a blind eye to these people and made a fortune. In the past few decades of history, didn’t everyone do this?

In the Liu family's self-promotion, they also rated themselves as equivalent to the Li family in Liaodong before. They just supported the enemy and respected themselves, which eventually led to the collapse of the situation in Liao Town. The Liu family was only in the core hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and they just made money and would not cause trouble.

Even the Li family disappeared under the will of the court.

The Liu family is rising strongly, but they pay great attention to their reputation. Liu Yuanqiao still cherishes his reputation very much. It can also be said that to prevent others from suspicion about him. He constantly sends people to protect the reputation of the Liu family and promotes the image of the Liu family. He also has countless lobbyists who go to the family of ministers in the court to pay homage to the Liu family. The main thing is to explain the current situation of the Liu family. The Liu family does not threaten the court. He is willing to cooperate with every official in the court to make a fortune together.

Moreover, the Liu family today can also provide enough silver. Even if these civil and military officials are greedy and ambitious, they can still buy them.

But in response to the old saying, not everyone can buy it. They erode the interests of the court without scrupulously. After all, some people will be on guard against them. Even if they explain it repeatedly, who can't tell who they are?

After all, not everyone is blind, and not everyone can ignore anything for money. These officials want to make money as officials, but there is a prerequisite, that is, to keep their official position, and the second is to ensure that they are promoted step by step, and then make money, and they will not risk making money even if they know it is a pit.

Liu Bu also felt helpless about this, because the power of the Liu family was already strong enough, and to this point, it was not something he could control or hide.

This is called strength not allowed.

You must know that the power is so strong that no matter how you hide it, others will know it.

For example, why everyone thinks that the East Three Prefectures are powerful now is because the East Three Prefectures are indeed in a prosperous and prosperous situation, and its manufacturing industry is developing rapidly. All the workshops and families have received a large number of orders. The only thing people want to do is to complete the orders in hand and then make money from the Liu family. All the land that was lost due to the war has been replanted. The collective farm and production and construction corps formed by the Liu family have planted a large number of potatoes, corn, and sweet potato seeds, which are both drought-tolerant and high-yield.

Most places in the Ming Dynasty were still affected by the Little Ice Age, and most places were under harvest. Only the three eastern prefectures achieved good harvests. From this spring to this summer, they all achieved good harvests. Now it is the time for the autumn harvest. Liu Bu rode his horse and led his guards to inspect the Jimo area. He also found that there was a scene of good harvest everywhere. The people were busy harvesting corn and potatoes from the fields, and carried them back to the farm or their own homes one by one, with the joy of a good harvest.

This is what Liu Bu was most happy about. He understood one thing that only the warehouse reporter knew about etiquette. In the words of ***, this means that there is food in your hands and is not panicked. Although they have obtained a lot of food supplements through overseas purchases, it is now a chaotic world. Human life is as cheap as grass, and food is like gold and silver. If they have enough food in their hands, it means that they have enough money, grain and resources to do more.

After the Liu family survived the severe winter last year, they mobilized all the manpower and material resources that could be mobilized, and went all out to plant several high-yield foods, striving to make more people eat and wear warmth. Not only did they plant all the land that was abandoned because of the war, but they even cultivated many wastelands and mountains.

These people are afraid of being poor and hungry, and are very afraid of losing their current jobs. So everyone works hard, both for the Liu family and for themselves.

Even if you work for the Liu family and be the most ordinary tenant farmer, you can make yourself dress warmly, eat well, and even bring your family. The Liu family has recruited a lot in all aspects.

After two consecutive seasons of planting, they obtained a large amount of grain and filled the warehouse with all kinds of grains, which also proved that the sweet potato empire in history existed. Later, the Qing Dynasty survived the food crisis by planting sweet potatoes and potatoes. Since both Manyi can do it, why can't the Liu family be a huge group? After rapid development this year, the people under their rule over the Liu family army have exceeded one million, and the number of people is far above Jiannu. Although they are not like Jiannu, the whole people are soldiers, and most of these people cannot fight, the manpower, material resources and resources that can be mobilized are also quite terrifying.

If the food, gold and silver stored by the Liu family are no longer under the imperial court’s Taicang, I wonder what the imperial court would think?

Anyway, they have begun to pay the grain tax gradually in spring and autumn this year. After this autumn, they plan to pay the full amount. Of course, the amount stipulated in the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations will not include the various levies added by the imperial court, but this is already amazing enough.

Liu Yuanqiao has the name of a capable official. This is not passed down by word of mouth by word by word by word of literature, but by his own strength. Many contemporary officials like to praise each other with the spreader of culture and gain a good reputation. However, Liu Yuanqiao did not gain a good reputation by making friends with literati. This is because he gained fame and created huge benefits. He now understands how to govern a place and how to govern a country. At the same time, he also understands that the current Zhu family court is actually guarding a golden nest and a golden rice bowl, but is begging for food. Such a person is really not suitable to sit in such a position, and I can replace him.

It is because of such achievements that Liu Yuanqiao was ambitious to come up with the idea of ​​rebellion. If it were not for this, he would not have rebelled. It would be better to replace the people of the world and govern the Ming Dynasty and the Central Plains better by allowing the people of the world to have enough food under the incompetent royal family.

It is because the Liu family is indeed very capable and has indeed managed this area well, so that Jingyun Gong tried every means to help the Liu family, hoping that he would not be suspicious of the court, and would not be against the court and become a major conscience of the court, and then help the court to deal with Jiannu and bandits.

However, Jingyun Gong's idea was destined to perish and miscarriage, because the Liu family is now fighting for themselves and the people of the world, but they will never fight for the Ming court or the Ming world, because they are completely disappointed with the Ming Dynasty and will never fight for him anymore.

They are trying their best to preserve the Denglai area, even their old nest, and their base, as long as they occupy this place and have more population and resources, they will get more cards and can confront the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty has not collapsed and its strength is still there, its fatigue has emerged, and this has been completely revealed. It is a pleasure for others to be emperors. Today, Emperor Chongzhen, he is an emperor, but it is the hardest and most tiring job in the world today.

Liu Bu led his horse team to inspect various parts of Jiaozhou to see the harvests in various places. You should know that harvests mean their resources. If necessary, these resources can be completely converted into war resources.

Since Liu Bu had already had the intention to create the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty, he replaced it. No matter what he thought, it was related to rebellion. For example, when he was considering food, he was also considering that if they revived, they would definitely be blocked by the Ming Dynasty. They had the Denglai area, faced the canal, and were backed by the sea. It would be difficult for the Ming Dynasty court to block him. Think about the weak navy that the Ming Dynasty court had no such thing as not, blocking their three eastern prefectures, but they could not even have the ability to block the Ming Dynasty's Bohai Sea coast or the southeast coast.

Only when attacking any of its cities, that is, having the power to control the sea, Liu Bu dared to rebel with confidence. If they rebel in another closed space, the Ming Dynasty could easily block it, leaving him unable to obtain input of resources from the outside world. He dared not rebel, because this rebellion would be like a dead end and there was no way to retreat. This was like a bandit. They rebelled in Shaanxi, and once they rebelled, they would be blocked by the court. They had no way to obtain external resources and support, and they could not export resources.

When the imperial army came over, they either escaped or escaped, and destroyed a city and then fled to the next city to destroy a new city. Their powers that only destroy but not build are destined to be abandoned by history. Only like their Liu family, they build a stable base and build it like a fortress, both offensive and defense, self-sufficient, and then develop outward, can they have hope of success.
