The famous doctors Liu Xiang wanted to find were naturally Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji.
Hua Tuo, named Yuan Hua, is from Peiguoqiao County, Yuzhou. He is a fellow villager of Boss Cao. He should be forty-three years old this year and is traveling around for medical treatment. When Liu Xiang was "assassinated" more than three months ago, Cao Cao had already sent a message
The family ordered people to search for him, but unfortunately there is still no news.
The Yuan family of Chen County also sent people to search for it, but they couldn't find it either.
Zhang Ji, courtesy name Zhongjing, was born in Nieyang County, Nanyang County, Jingzhou. He was thirty-six or seven years old this year. He had already been elected as Xiaolian and entered the officialdom. He was serving as a Langguan in Luoyang. His reputation as a good doctor had not spread until the Jian'an period.
, was appointed by the imperial court as the prefect of Changsha. He began to sit in the office hall to treat people's illnesses. At that time, the name of the miracle doctor was widely spread.
Liu Xiang suspected that Zhang Ji was Zhang Xian who rebelled against Liu Biao in Jingnan. They were both from Nanyang, and their families were all wealthy families who had been officials for many generations. They were all governors of Changsha at that time, and they died at the same time. They all had the same name.
Both Zhongjing and Zhongjing won the hearts of the people.
How can there be so many coincidences in the world?
In fact, he had already sent someone to ask for Zhang Ji, but unfortunately he was rejected because he was not good at medicine. It is not difficult to understand that it is normal for the children of the aristocratic family not to want to treat Liu Xiang's injuries, and maybe they hope that he will die soon.
Although he was revered as a medical saint in later generations, he lived in the present after all. He had his own relatives, friends and class. Of course, there were also hostile people. Unfortunately, Liu Xiang was hostile. This kind of situation cannot be forced. It is easy.
When someone is killed, doctors don't just save people. The higher the medical skills, the greater the risk.
There is no hope for these two miracle doctors for the time being. Just like Zhen Yi said, it depends on fate.
As for the Zhen family's desire to become a large grain merchant, there is no problem, but it requires supervision. Liu Xiang really needs a business name that can supplement the official treasury and be responsible for operating the grain market, regulating the flow of large quantities of grain, and fighting against overseas grain merchants.
"Zhen Gong can prepare people to go to the countryside to collect grain. It is best to set up shops in every county and cooperate with military families. However, I need to set up supervision and report the accounts once every spring and autumn. Tiqi also
We will check from time to time. Also, the price of grain collected must not be lower than the official grain price, and the price of grain sold must not be higher than the limit, otherwise we will not be spared."
Zhen Yi answered very definitely: "Zhen's father is determined to be optimistic about the food supply and will never seek huge profits through this."
Liu Xiang nodded: "I will set up a special grain inspection department, which will be responsible for setting the purchase and sale prices of rice grains, supervising the operation of the grain market, formulating the ratio of storage and buying and selling, and the amount of wine and vinegar. There will be six inspectors temporarily.
According to history, there is a position for the head of the Zhen family. There are three people in the army, Cui Yi, Yan Rou and Jun Cheng Xia Houlan. There is one person in the general office, held by secretary Cheng Tianchou. The last person is designated as diannong and Fan Xian."
The appointment documents were drafted by Tian Chou, including the appointment of himself. Well, it was a very novel experience.
This Supervision Department does not have a fixed office location, but only has the power of supervision. It conducts official business in the form of irregular meetings, with Tian Chou and Xia Houlan coordinating the affairs in the middle. They are more like consultants with the right to report.
This is to put a tight spell on the Zhen family in addition to Tiqi. Food is too important and must be treated with caution.
Zhen Yi accepted it very happily. He didn't want to make a lot of money from grain. What he wanted was that after his death, his family's children could maintain their political status.
"Thank you, Lord." Zhen Yi was no longer out of breath or out of breath, and went out to arrange the manpower.
Cui Yi complained depressedly: "My lord, I don't know how to sell grain. How can I serve as the supervisor of Shizi? You haven't taken me on an expedition for a long time, and the marching commander Shi has not done well either."
"I'm still complaining after you were promoted. Were you happy when you were the team leader for eight years? Okay, I will definitely take you with me when I go to Liaodong. As for the history of the supervisory order, you and Yan Ziming want to ensure the military's right to speak.
Don't delay the war because of food problems, don't underestimate the businessman's pursuit of profit, help me guard this granary, do you understand?"
After saying this, Cui Yi wanted to understand: "I understand, let them keep the reserves for the war, and then sell the rest. But there is also food in the treasury, how much is appropriate for them to keep?"
"At least the entire army will need for three months of campaigning, not counting an expedition thousands of miles away. You can't count on merchants for that kind of campaign."
In this way, the Anping Army has two sets of food supply systems, and its ability to continue fighting is further improved.
After talking about the problem of grain merchants, Liu Xiang had a headache again about minting coins. After such a long time, the new coins still did not satisfy him, and the output of copper mines did not increase much. If he wanted to avoid being cheated by Fatty Dong,
To harvest bad coins, Youzhou must prepare at least tens of millions of new coins within a year and a half to facilitate the replacement of the currency system.
After the death of Emperor Ling, Dong Zhuo minted bad coins, and there was only a six-month window. If he failed to grasp this time, his body would be cut, and the consequences would be endless.
"Tian Chou, I order you to concurrently serve as the commander of Shuiheng, with two divisions, the Bell Officer and the Bronze Division, and the mint workshop will be assigned a general as a supervisor and operate independently. Tian Yu, I will order you to concurrently serve as the history of the Bronze Order."
Duwei Shuiheng was the official responsible for minting coins in the Han Dynasty, and had the power to manage the emperor's private collection together with the Shaofu.
Liu Xiang only set up Zhongguan, Bian Tong. The Zhongguan was responsible for minting coins. The position of Ling Shi was vacant. He ordered Tian Chou to order coin craftsmen. Those who minted qualified new coins would be promoted to Zhongguan Lingshi. Bian Tongzhi
It is for inspecting the quality of coins and does not have other powers.
After handling these matters, it was already noon. He returned to the back house to say goodbye to Zhen Jiang and Cai Yan, and Liu Xiang led his five hundred guardsmen to the south to the Taihang Mountains.
During these days, the new recruits of the Montenegrin Army were reorganizing and training, and the veterans were borrowing food from everywhere. They only allowed Hejian to be inaccessible. They also deliberately spread rumors that Hejian was the former residence of a saint, and thieves did not dare to enter, mainly because they were afraid of it.
The Emperor Ling was angered, and now there was no shield for the three Zhang Jiao brothers.
Hejian State in Jizhou is the hometown of Emperor Ling. He has bought a lot of land here one after another, and has recently expanded his ancestral home. Liu Xiang is also convinced. Emperor Ling Liu Hong seems to be working as an executive in Luoyang, making money and returning to his hometown.
He's like a working emperor who built a house and bought land in his hometown. His brain circuit is really strange. I don't know what he thinks?
If you want to benefit your biological father and brothers, wouldn't it be enough to just get an official title? Then go out and collect money personally, and then buy land and build a house in your hometown. Is this something that ordinary people can do?
Liu Xiang originally thought he was using this as an excuse to cover up his plans to build an army in Xiyuan, but he ended up providing him with troops, and the guy also bought land and built houses in Hejian.
It seems that he was wrong. This man was sincerely seeking the welfare of his biological father.
True? A filial son!
No wonder his posthumous title after his death was Emperor Xiaoling.
Apart from Hejian, only Guo Dian, the governor of Julu, was able to protect the territory. He was a capable fighter, had friendship with the Black Mountain Army, and had some private business dealings.
Guo Dian has made many meritorious deeds over the years, but unfortunately the family's limited power can no longer support him to take another step forward, so he stays in Julu to retire in peace and contentment, and no one can move him.
Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, was so angry that the only army that could fight did not bother him at all. The Black Mountain Yellow Turbans came and went as freely as if they were strolling in the back garden, without any worries.
In the few battles they fought, they fought on their own.
Zhao'an's strategy has yet to bear fruit, and there is no news from Xu Ziyuan, as if he has disappeared. A few days ago, he sent a letter to report his victory, but is this a success? There is not even a handful of grain that should be borrowed, and it should be robbed.
The grain transport team spared no one.
On the contrary, he relaxed his vigilance and suffered huge losses. The taxes paid this year could not be collected at all.
