the other side.
Cai Yong learned that a thief sneaked in last night.
The first thing that flashed through my mind was Cao Cao.
I was stunned and then frightened for a while.
"Dad, Wen Ji has heard before that Cao Cao likes other people's wives, but he didn't expect that he would turn his attention to Wen Ji."
Cai Wenji was angry.
Fortunately, Liu Hong arranged for someone to keep vigil in advance, so that the ambitious guy Cao Mengde didn't succeed.
The wedding was held as scheduled, as if last night was a farce.
night.
A night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
The inexperienced Cai Wenji finally surrendered with both hands and fell asleep.
Liu Hong shared the remaining energy.
…
The next few days.
Liu Hong commutes between the Taoist temple and the cement factory every day.
The successful production of cement solved a major problem for Liu Hong.
All that's left is to think about how to mass-produce it.
After all, it only takes a dozen craftsmen to make cement, and it takes the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to pour cement roads all over Yanzhou?
Liu Hong was too lazy to worry about these trivial matters and directly handed the matter over to Cheng Yu.
As for the next thing, it is much simpler, paving roads and building houses.
In Yanzhou, there is a lot of construction work.
There are hundreds of thousands of refugees working for wages, and the entire Yanzhou changes every day.
With the addition of various entries, the population has grown rapidly.
Changyi County serves as a test site for cement.
The streets and alleys were paved with a layer of cement.
For the cleanliness of the streets.
Liu Hong also had public toilets and garbage dumps specially built.
In this era of frequent natural and man-made disasters, what is truly terrifying is not war, but the various diseases that arise due to war.
Once you contract an epidemic, with the medical technology of this era, you are basically half-stepped into the Palace of Hell.
A clean and hygienic environment can avoid the occurrence of most diseases.
Therefore, health issues cannot be ignored.
...
In the second year of Zhongping.
A fire broke out in Luoyang, the capital, and Nangong was destroyed.
The eunuchs Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong came to give advice.
With a wave of Liu Hong's hand, land taxes were increased across the country, ten thousand gold halls were built, and bronze figures were cast.
For a time, due to increased taxes across the country, people were in dire straits.
In order to survive, the land was sold at a low price.
In order to raise more money, Liu Hong issued an order called "Money to Help the Palace".
Everyone from the governor to the officials in every county must pay money.
The matter of buying an official position is getting more and more intense.
"This cheap adopted son is of some use."
Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang's secret letter and couldn't help but smile.
Although this is not a word about elixirs.
But it seems to be mentioned every word.
Zhang asked this good adopted son to help with management in Luoyang.
Liu Hong escaped this storm.
But other states and counties are in trouble.
If you want to be an official, you have to pay money.
After many officials emptied their wealth and took office, the first thing they did was to collect blood from the people.
For a time, civil unrest broke out in all the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty except Yanzhou.
"Sir, there are more and more refugees outside the city. Do we still need to take them in?"
Jia Xu lowered his eyebrows and glanced at Liu Hong, who was sitting at the top, and asked in a low voice.
"Collect as much as you can. You don't have to worry about money and food."
Liu Hong looked away from the book and spoke in a casual tone.
He is not afraid of Yanzhou's population increase.
For him, the more refugees the better.
He has several large granaries, which produce more food than he can eat every day, and the harvest in Yanzhou is imminent.
With the blessing of various entries, the food produced this year is enough to feed millions of people in Yanzhou for several years.
There is no need to worry about food and grass.
However, Liu Hong had to sigh with emotion, Liu Hong was really good at it.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion had just ended, and people's livelihood had not yet stabilized, so this happened again.
Doesn’t this force others to rebel?
But these have nothing to do with him. If the sky falls, tall men will hold it up, and the princes in the court will have their own solutions.
He just needs to maintain the stability of Yanzhou.
However, the development of the situation was far more chaotic than Liu Hong imagined.
One month is not up yet.
There were dozens of rebel armies in various states and counties raising flags to rebel.
Each rebel army ranges from six to seven thousand people in small sizes to tens of thousands in large ones.
Some remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou and the Black Mountain Army took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and re-enacted the Yellow Turban Rebellion, attacking counties and killing officials.
The power of a single spark that started a prairie fire was even greater than that of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
Qingzhou is the area hardest hit by the Yellow Turbans.
Qingzhou naturally bore the brunt of the rebel riots.
Several Yellow Turban forces in Qingzhou gathered millions of people.
Among them, Liu Hong's chess piece, Pei Yuanshao, is the largest force among them.
"We will divide our troops into three groups."
"The governor of Qingzhou is fatuous and incompetent. I will lead him all the way."
"Zhang Shuai led the way to Xuzhou, and Pei Shuai led the way to Yanzhou."
Guan Hai, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, clicked on the map and said.
Zhang Bai and Pei Yuanshao suddenly turned pale when they heard this.
"Guan Hai, what do you mean?"
Pei Yuanshao immediately reprimanded.
"Although we are in Qingzhou, we are well-known to the governor of Yanzhou. The people of Yanzhou have settled down and settled down. If we want to kill such good officials, wouldn't we encourage corrupt officials?"
"According to me, the troops will be divided into two groups, one to besiege Qingzhou and the other to besiege Xuzhou."
"If one of them succeeds, immediately support the other!"
Guan Hai opposed Pei Yuanshao's words.
"Although the governor of Yanzhou is good, he is still a dog official of the imperial court, and it is just a show!"
Guan Hai didn't take it seriously. Since he had rebelled, he would go all the way to darkness.
What's the matter with standing still?
Zhang Bai neither agreed nor agreed.
In the end, the three of them broke up unhappy.
That night.
Pei Yuanshao wrote a letter to Liu Hong.
After Liu Hong saw the secret letter, he showed an unexpected expression.
Today's Yanzhou is not even a little richer than other states and counties.
It's only natural that someone would keep an eye on this piece of fat.
However, Liu Hong was not panicked at all.
There are 50,000 elites in the Yanzhou camp, guarding the city, and there is no pressure even if they face 200,000 to 300,000 miscellaneous soldiers.
Although Qingzhou Yellow Turban is said to have more than one million people.
But in actual dispersion, it would be good to have 700,000 to 800,000.
Besides, there are many mountains in this Qingzhou Yellow Turban.
The biggest one was Pei Yuanshao, who led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, as well as a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled.
Even if they use the power of Qingzhou Yellow Turban to invade Yanzhou, Liu Hong does not think it is much of a threat.
"Zhongde, I have received news that there are yellow turban thieves who are going to attack Yanzhou."
"Let Yu Jin lead the elite to garrison at various key checkpoints."
Liu Hong tapped his fingers on the document.
When Cheng Yu heard this, he immediately turned around and went out to make arrangements.
Although Yanzhou is not afraid of these wandering Yellow Turban thieves with its strength, it cannot be underestimated too much.
When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.
It would be bad if the boat capsizes in the gutter.
at the same time.
Qingzhou, Pingyuan County.
“This is truly an excellent place to raise horses.”
"With these good horses, why worry about not being able to accomplish great things!?"
A group of about 20,000 Yellow Turban troops were hiding on the hillside, observing the horse farm not far away.
They had been lying in wait here for a day, waiting for nightfall.
Kill Pingyuan County Sheriff by surprise!
