Chapter 866

It's getting warmer in February.

Under the rule of Zhang Xiu, all the orderly development of the jurisdiction, feedback from all over the information, are very good. Especially in the case that Zhang Xiu did not raise taxes, the collected taxes are steadily improving, which shows the local development.

Zhang Xiu is happy to see this.

The stronger the foundation of his command, the easier it will be to clean up all parties.

On this day, when Zhang Xiu was dealing with government affairs in the palace, Wang Yue came in in a hurry. When he saw Zhang Xiu, he reported: "Your Highness, news has been sent back from Cao Cao and Yuan Shao."

Zhang xiudao said, "tell me!"

Wang yuechen reported: "at the end of last year, after the state of Qin gave all officials and soldiers two months' salaries, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei did not follow in all the countries in the world. They are still the same."

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "both of them are poor people. Youzhou is located in a bitter and cold place. Even if there are businessmen crossing Youzhou, in fact, they have limited financial resources. As for Liu Bei, he is now living in Yuzhou, and he is short of finance. They don't follow, that's normal. "

"Your Highness is wise!"

After a compliment, Wang Yue continued: "as for Cao Wei and Dongwu, they all followed his Highness's steps and gave all civil servants and military generals two months' salary, which was the same as we did."

"But Yuan Shao is different."

"Yuan Shao gave three months' salary to the officials, soldiers and assistant officials of Jin State. Even Yuan Shao specially arranged spies to spread news in the territory of Qin state, saying that Yuan Shao gave three months' salary."

"I took this opportunity to catch more than 30 spies inserted by Yuan Shaoan."

Wang Yue said: "I didn't expect that such a small thing is to catch some of Yuan Shaoan's spies in Chang'an and other places. It's also a great joy."

Zhang Xiu praised: "well done!"

After a pause, Zhang Xiu continued: "this matter has come to an end for the time being. There is no need to pay attention to it any more."

"Here it is

Wang Yue should go down.

"Step on it! Step on

A rush of footsteps came, and a servant rushed in, reporting: "Your Highness, Jia Shangshu asked to see you."

Zhang Xiu said, "please!"

The waiter bowed and turned to inform.

Wang Yue did not stay any longer. He turned around and stepped down. Not long after, Jia Xu entered, bowed to Zhang Xiu and said, "humble Jia Xu, meet your highness."

Zhang Xiu said, "give me a seat!"

At the moment, the attendant took the cushion and put it in place.

After thanking him, Jia Xu sat down and said, "Your Highness, spring ploughing has just begun, although there are many soldiers in the army. But in fact, the army is still idle for the time being. His highness asked when he was going to attack or when he was going to attack. "

"No hurry!"

Zhang Xiu shook her head and answered.

For the issue of sending troops, Zhang Xiu has some consideration in her heart.

In recent years, Zhang Xiu went to Liangzhou twice and Yizhou twice. Although these places are peaceful, in fact, the foundation is not stable.

Zhang Xiu hopes to have a rest for the time being and consolidate her foundation thoroughly.

In particular, the territory of the world has been roughly set. At this time, whether Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, or sun CE or Gong sun Zan, even if their strength could be enhanced, it would be limited and could not be increased too much. So what countries are competing for now is their own details.

Whoever has a more solid foundation will stick to it until the end.

This is the key.

So Zhang Xiu's plan, at least rest for a period of time, the development of production, enhance their own heritage and strength.

Only in this way can we deal with the future situation.

Jia Xu inquired: "it's a good thing that your highness is not in a hurry to send troops. His humble position agrees with him. After many years of fighting, even if the soldiers in the army are good at fighting, they need to be cultivated. But when does your highness intend to send troops again? "

Zhang Xiu thought about it and said, "at least one year later, we will send troops to rest for one year. The specific situation depends on the situation! "

Jia Xu said: "Your Highness is wise!"

Even if Zhang Xiu doesn't explain, Jia Xu can understand that a year's rest is enough to thoroughly consolidate Zhang Xiu's foundation.

Zhang xiudao said: "today's Ministry of war mainly urges the training of soldiers. It can't neglect the training of soldiers in the army just because there is no war. The combat effectiveness of the army always comes first. "

"I understand

Jia Xu nodded solemnly.

He naturally knew this.

Jia Xu said: "please don't worry, your highness. I will arrange this matter well."

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "with the arrangement, I can rest assured."

After Jia Xu left, Liu Ba came again in a hurry. When he came into his study and saw Zhang Xiu, he said, "Your Highness, the humble position of Daqin bank has been properly arranged."

"Since the end of last year, large-scale publicity has begun. Up to now, the gold mines of Shu state in Guanghan County of Yizhou continue to transport gold back to Chang'an. There is no need to worry about the money storage of Daqin bank. ""In particular, the publicity in recent months has been known by countless people and officials."

"This incident has caused a lot of discussion in the streets. Tomorrow is a golden day, and Daqin bank in Chang'an is ready to officially open. I sincerely hope that your highness can come to the unveiling in person, so that the people can trust Daqin bank more. "

Liu Ba said: "with your Highness's guarantee, the opening of Daqin bank will be extremely smooth."

Zhang xiuhan said: "no problem, I will go on time."

"Thank you, your highness."

Liu BA was very happy.

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "has the appointment of officials within the bank been arranged?"

"It's arranged!"

Liu Ba replied again.

Zhang Xiu changed her words and asked, "have you ever discussed with them about coal stone and Xuan paper?"

"I've talked about it, but it's not going well."

Liu BA's face showed a trace of helplessness. He solemnly said: "I'm humble to negotiate with coal and stone of Lushan County, and I'm also negotiating with Xuan paper. I hope they will store all the main gold in Daqin bank."

"When they need to allocate a large amount of money, they can directly withdraw a large amount of money from the bank. However, they were all politely rejected, and they all said that it was a waste of time. "

"After all, there is no jurisdiction over humble positions, so there is some helplessness."

Liu Ba said: "but fortunately, there is no problem with the filling of gold ore in Yizhou."

Zhang xiudao said: "it's not right to talk about these two aspects. Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Liu Ba said: "on the one hand, the other party is not subordinate to the Ministry of household affairs, so they can't give orders. On the other hand, Daqin bank now has enough gold deposits at the bottom. Therefore, I have never reported my humble position to your highness. "

Zhang Xiu said: "but with them, they are different. Once these two sources of money are remitted to Daqin bank. Well, it's more convincing. Don't you understand that? "

As soon as Liu Ba heard about it, he knew that it had not been done. He immediately said, "your humble duty is not well considered. Your highness, please surrender."

"You don't have to be guilty."

As soon as Zhang Xiu's big sleeve brushed, she said, "as the Secretary of the Ministry of household, if you want to do this, you must be beautiful. It can't be just barely OK, it can't be just passable. "

"Here it is

Liu Ba replied again.

Zhang Xiu big sleeve a brush, way: "this matter, I personally handle. You step down and prepare for the business of Daqin bank. Such a thing will never happen again. "

"Thank you, your highness."

On Liu BA's forehead, there were fine beads of sweat. It's really Zhang Xiu's sudden change of tone, which makes Liu BA's pressure suddenly increase, which is not suitable.

After Liu Ba retreated, Zhang Xiu immediately called Wang Yue.
