Chapter 211
Chapter 211 Collected a Basket of Talents! Land tax cut in half! No loss, Pang Tong made Zhang Ren!
Liu Bei held a grand banquet in Chengdu for the civil servants and generals who had surrendered.
Dong He, the county magistrate of Chengdu, the father of Dong Yun, was good at governing the local area and was a clean official.
There are also Xu Jing, Peng Yi, Yang Hong, Zhang Yi, Qin Mi and other scholars.
Veteran Yan Yan, uncle Wu Yi, Liu Zhang’s relative Fei Guan, Dongzhou scholar Pang Xi, Huang Fusong’s son-in-law She Yuan, Deng Xian, Liu Gui, Wu Lan, Lei Tong, etc.,
Leng Bao was embarrassed to come, so Liu Bei went to invite him personally, and he went to Liu Bei with tears streaming down his face.
Liu Zhang came over and drank a glass of water and wine, and then left, otherwise everyone would not let go, Liu Bei toasted,
“Everyone, the stability and prosperity of Yizhou in the future will depend on you!”
Everyone quickly toasted, secretly happy in their hearts, Liu Bei is still planning to reuse everyone.
Liu Bei worshiped Zhang Song as the governor of Yizhou, Xu Jing as the governor of Yizhou, Fei Guan as the prefect of Shu County, Pang Xi as the general of Zhenwei, and Yan Yan as the prefect of Ba County.
Li Hui was the prefect of Jianning, Lu Kai was the prefect of Yongchang, etc.
Basically, people from Ba rule Ba, people from Shu rule Shu, and people from Nanzhong rule Nanzhong.
He also ordered Zhang Yi to be the prefect of Yuejuan County to govern Qingqiang and train elite soldiers, Dong He to be the prefect of Zangke, Wu Yi to be the prefect of Guanghan to govern Baishuiguan, etc.
Everyone was very happy, and the host and guest drank to their heart’s content.
Early the next morning,
Zhang Song cupped his fists,
“My lord, the documents have been sent to various places. Zhang Ren returned home and stayed behind closed doors. Huang Quan, the magistrate of Guanghan County who was demoted before, closed the city and guarded himself. Now he also opens the city gates and returns to Chengdu by himself to thank guests behind closed doors!”
“My lord, I’m afraid these two people want my lord to surrender myself.” Liu Bei nodded,
“It doesn’t matter, they are all great talents, I should take a trip,” Zhang Song admired,
“My lord is a virtuous and virtuous corporal, I admire him very much”
Liu Bei said again,
“Yongnian, I intend to halve the land tax in Yizhou, the same as Guanzhong, how about it?”
Zhang Song is overjoyed,
“The lord is benevolent and righteous, and the wealth is hidden in the people. The people of Yizhou must be grateful!”
Xu Jing also cupped his fists,
“My lord, respect the virtuous and capable, love the common people, rest and recuperate, and do great good in Yizhou!”
Liu Bei nodded, and ordered Wu Yi to organize civilian husbands to repair the road leading to Hanzhong, so as to promote economic and personnel exchanges between Guanzhong and Yizhou.
Goods from Nanzhong and Bashu can be sold unimpeded to Guanzhong, and even to the Western Regions!
After arranging these things,
Liu Bei took Zhang Song, Pang Tong and others to Huang Quan’s house first, and Huang Quan drank alone at home.
Hearing that Liu Bei came to visit in person, he still opened the door to let a few people in.
liuLooking at the jug on the desk,
“Gongheng is so elegant, why bother drinking together?”
Huang Quan snorted,
“Liu Bei, my lord does not listen to my advice and welcomes you into Shu, it really ruins my great river and mountain in Shu!”
Pang Tong didn’t like to hear it anymore.
“Huang Gongheng, you are unreasonable. My lord has ruined the rivers and mountains in the middle of Shu. My lord has never committed any crimes all the way. He put down the chaos of the barbarians in the south of the country, and gained the support of many famous scholars and generals without bloodshed. Everyone is satisfied. Why is it like this with you? !”
Zhang Song also said,
“Gongheng, my lord just announced that Yizhou’s land tax will be halved, and the people of Yizhou are cheering. You are frowning here, a little…”
Huang Quan was taken aback,
“Halve the land tax? Then the people of Yizhou will have a much better life.”
It is not easy to halve the land tax. The people are richer, but the income of the government is reduced.
Huang Quan cupped his fists and bowed,
“Xuande’s benevolence and righteousness, which benefit the people, deeply admires him”
Fortunately, Liu Bei arrived. Although the grain harvest has dropped, the connection between Guanzhong and Yizhou has been strengthened, and the business has become more prosperous. The business tax he harvested can fully cover it, and there are many more!
Moreover, the people of Yizhou know how to enjoy it, and having more money and food in their hands will also promote domestic demand and consumption.
Zhang Song said again,
“My lord has formulated a series of things to build water conservancy, build bridges and pave roads, and set up schools. In the next few years, Yizhou will inevitably be prosperous.”
Huang Quan also let out a long sigh,
“Mr. Xuande, my lord is not as good as you,” Liu Bei laughed.
“Gongheng, Liu Zhang doesn’t know your talent. If he had listened to you and refused to let me enter Shu, I might just take Hanzhong now.”
Huang Quan burst into tears, and Mr. Xuande knew him best! Liu Bei held his hands,
“Yizhou Daxing, how can such a grand event be less than you, Huang Gongheng, I intend to designate you as Yizhou Biejia, and together with Yongnian to benefit the people of Yizhou, how about it?”
Huang Quan hurriedly bowed,
“My lord, this subordinate is willing to die!”
Liu Bei helped him up, “Okay, okay”…It’s done with Huang Quan.
Liu Bei took Zhang Fei, Yan Yan, and Huang Zhong to Zhang Ren’s residence.
Zhang Ren is courageous and resourceful, not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also extremely courageous. It can be said that he is both wise and brave, and he is known as the spear king of Western Shu.
Historically, he refused to surrender and Liu Bei was killed. Although he achieved the name of loyalty, it is a pity that his talent did not show.
Zhang Ren was practicing archery at home to relieve his boredom, when he heard the cheers outside, he felt a little strange,
After the steward explained the reason, Zhang Ren murmured,
“The land tax will be halved, and the life of many people will be much easier”
He let out a long sigh, Liu Bei is brave, good at fighting and unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, Liu Zhang and Liu Bei are simply incomparable.
However, Zhang Ren has a stubborn personality and is not convinced in his heart. He was defeated so thoroughly before he even fought a battle…
“Forget it, if Liu Bei wants to kill me, just kill me!”
at this time,
The steward reports,
“My lord, Hussar General Xuande is visiting” Zhang Ren?
“Liu Bei actually came to visit in person?”
“Bring them in”
Although Zhang Ren didn’t want to take refuge with Liu Bei, he still had to treat guests with courtesy.
Liu Bei and others came in,
Zhang Ren was still shooting arrows in silence.
Zhang Fei was furious,
“Zhang Ren, my elder brother came to see you in person, you are so arrogant!”
Zhang Ren shot another arrow, and his expression was, I didn’t ask you to come find me.
Yan Yan said,
“General Zhang, Duke Xuande is benevolent in governing the country, benefiting the people of Bashu, brave and good at fighting, and powerful in Kyushu. Why don’t you surrender, and follow Duke Xuande to conquer the world and make great achievements!”
Zhang Ren shook his head,
“Old general, loyal ministers don’t care about two masters, a certain heart is dead.” Yan Yan sighed,
“Why bother, you are still young, you can leave your name in history and become famous all over the world.” Liu Bei looked at Zhang Ren,
“General Zhang, you are from Shu County, a famous general in Yizhou, are you guarding the people of Yizhou, or Liu Yan and his son?”
Zhang Ren was asked instantly,
“This, this, there is no difference between the two.” Huang Zhong shook his head,
“In my opinion, the difference is very big. Liu Yan and his son have been in charge of Yizhou for more than ten years, and they have not implemented a benevolent government. Yizhou has civil strife almost every year.
My lord will justify Nanzhong, so that Yizhou will not suffer from the disaster of barbarians, and the land tax will be halved, so that we can recuperate and recuperate. To be honest, who is suitable to be in charge of Yizhou?”
Zhang Ren was speechless, and could only bend his bow and set his arrow, and another arrow hit the bull’s-eye!
Liu Bei laughed,
“Zhang Ren, everyone says that you are the number one general in Sichuan, but in my opinion, you are good at archery.”
Zhang Ren was angry.
“Liu Bei, you are brave and good at fighting, and have outstanding resourcefulness, but I don’t accept you. If you have the ability, your archery is better than mine!”
Zhang Ren naturally knew that he would not be Liu Bei’s opponent in sparring, so he compared archery… Liu Bei laughed,
“So what if I beat you?”
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes,
“Zhang Ren, I know you are not convinced, why don’t you compare with my elder brother, if my elder brother wins, how about you serve my elder brother?”
Zhang Ren said without hesitation, “Okay!”
There was a small explosion in the live broadcast room,
“This Ren doesn’t look very smart, but he was cheated by Zhang Fei!”
“Yeah, he didn’t ask Liu Bei what would happen if he lost!”
“My brother Fei has a hidden intelligence of 90+, you think it’s fake!”
The competition begins,
Zhang Ren came first, he picked up his bow and set up an arrow, “Whoo! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The three iron arrows all hit the bull’s-eye one hundred and fifty paces away!
Yan Yan and Huang Zhong nodded,
Zhang Ren’s arrow technique is really superb! Liu Bei also praised,
“General Zhang’s arrow skills are very good. It would be a pity if such arrow skills don’t go to the Central Plains to frighten the heroes.”
Zhang Ren snorted,
“Mr. Xuande, you should start archery.” Liu Bei smiled,
“Come on, go and move the target fifty steps forward!”
Zhang Ren was stunned, Liu Bei was so entrusted!
But no one else seemed to respond.
The soldiers presented Liu Bei’s four-stone bow,
Zhang Ren??
“It’s actually a four-stone bow?!”
Liu Bei took out three iron arrows from the quiver and put them on the bow. Zhang Ren was really stunned this time.
“Not only two hundred steps away, but also three arrows with one bow!”
Liu Bei neverPrepare more, pick up the bow and set the arrow, and shoot in an instant!
The three iron arrows bombarded the red heart of the target like lightning, deflecting every bit!
Zhang Ren was stunned!
“it is good!”
“My lord is really good at archery”
Huang Zhong and Yan Yan are both masters of archery, so they naturally know that the degree of difficulty is extremely high!
The live broadcast room also exploded,
“Zhang Ren’s arrow skills are already very good, I didn’t expect Liu Bei to be too strong!”
“This is not a competition at all, but a dimensionality reduction blow!”
“It was pretended by the big-eared thief again.” Zhang Ren admired him sincerely, clasped his fists and said,
“Mr. Xuande’s arrow skills are superb, I’m convinced!”
Zhang Fei snorted,
“I would like to bet and admit defeat, you don’t want to bet on bad products!”
Zhang Ren…
Liu Bei grabbed Zhang Ren’s hand,
“General Zhang is courageous and resourceful. Someone wants to lead General Zhang to make contributions together, to impress the whole man. I don’t know if you want to do that?”
Zhang Ren was moved and sighed, “Forget it, Mr. Xuande, I am willing to surrender!”
Liu Bei was brave and good at fighting, powerful in Kyushu, and benefited the people of Yizhou. He was a virtuous corporal, and his arrow skills were even more impressive. It is impossible to justify not surrendering.
Liu Bei worshiped Zhang Ren as General Yangwei on the spot, and wanted to take him out of Yizhou to fight!
“My lord!”
Zhang Ren shouted excitedly.
“well!”
Liu Bei thought to himself,
“If you don’t lose Pang Tong, you can earn a Zhang Ren, this wave of blood!”
