By the end of June, everything was going well for Julu.

In the world, heroes are dormant.

Zhonglang general Huangfu Song finally pacified Baibo Huangjin. For his merits, the imperial court named him a general of chariots and cavalry. He was also given the title of Marquis of Huaili and the shepherd of Jizhou. He will take office soon.

Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, was awarded the title of General Jiande by the imperial court for his meritorious service in defeating thieves. Due to the Luoyang imperial examination, talented people from all over the world gathered in Luoyang, especially the Yingchuan scholars. Since the imperial examination, no less than two hundred Yingchuan scholars were able to stand out and serve as officials in Luoyang.

Many of them were talented people. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao spent all day making friends and trying to win over them, and they already had a close relationship with many talented people.

Dong Zhuo was in Xiliang, where the Qiang and Han people were mixed, and there were frequent turmoils. At the time when the Han Dynasty was declining, the court's control over Xiliang had already been weak. This gave Dong Zhuo the foundation to grow bigger. Dong Zhuo had always won the hearts of the people in Xiliang, and the Qiang and Hu people.

Happy to serve, Dong Zhuo's foundation became stronger and stronger, and he became a powerful power.

Ding Yuan was the governor of Bingzhou. Ding Yuan had small battles with the barbarians from the north who invaded the territory every month, and there were big battles every year. There was no end to the war.

In the same north is Youzhou. Youzhou is adjacent to the Hu territory in the north. The border counties are not invaded by the Xianbei bandits all year round, and countless soldiers are killed. Gongsun Zan, the general who surrendered, has been fighting against the Hu people for many years. Gongsun Zan likes to ride white horses, and there are countless more under his command.

Bai Tong's elite cavalry on white horses are named Yi Cong. In every battle, the white horse Yi Cong must be the vanguard. Wherever the white horses come, they will always be defeated by a small number, and they will be invincible. The name of the white horse general is powerful in the grassland.

Regardless of whether it is Bingzhou or Youzhou, the barbarians' military campaigns are increasing year by year. This is a change of time. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was another Little Ice Age. The north was getting colder and colder. The barbarians had no choice but to fight their way south, and the barbarian disasters were bound to get worse.

The more intense.

Sun Jian was the governor of Changsha. Sun Jian was bought with military merit and money. There was nothing wrong with buying an official position. But after Liu Bei's trip to Luoyang, Emperor Ling was persuaded by Liu Bei, and Emperor Ling began to sell those people with reasonable excuses.

The officer who has gone will take it back.

The court's rhetoric goes like this - [The country's important weapons cannot be bought with money?

Using money to buy an official position, and the court giving you an opportunity to serve the country, is already a great gift from heaven, how can you dare to dominate the official position?

Anyone who buys an official position will be inspected every two years. If anyone neglects his or her duties, he or she will be dismissed from the position.]

The logic is very reasonable and the rhetoric is perfect. However, the court currently does not have the ability to verify the review officials.

Although, in name, it is true, if anyone neglects his duties, he will be dismissed from office. But when it comes to review, whether he is dismissed or not has nothing to do with whether the government affairs are done well, but has something to do with whether the money management is in place.

When the news reached Changsha, Sun Jian cursed angrily.

Sun Jian had already spent a large sum of money to buy the governor of Changsha, but when the official bought it, the court wanted to take it back, so the money was wasted.

Sun Jian secretly cursed the imperial court for being unjust, but the imperial court was reasonable and the situation was stronger than others. Sun Jian could only hold his nose and admit it, and he could only find ways to raise more money to maintain his official position.

There are many people in the world who buy an official position, but those who have money to buy an official position are mostly those with strong family wealth. However, no matter how wealthy you are, being able to buy an official position once does not mean that you cannot afford to buy an official position twice or even three times.

Under the imperial court's official recruitment policy, 30% of the officials could not afford the second wave of payment, so they were dismissed from their posts and their positions were taken back to the court. There were too few official positions, and there were too many people who wanted to be officials, so there were countless people who had vacant official positions.

Staring at it and wanting to buy it, this strategy alone made Emperor Ling earn an unknown amount of money. Selling one's official position and getting one's title is a way of fishing, and selling one's official position and one's title in a sustainable way is a sustainable way of fishing.

In Xuzhou, after defeating the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Xuzhou, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, encouraged people's livelihood and lived with the people, and the people gradually settled down and settled down.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao were managed by the Yuan family. Yuan Shu took advantage of the momentum of the imperial examination. When he participated in the seventh imperial examination in Luoyang, he ranked first in the high school civil and military examinations, thereby becoming a garrison commander. How could Yuan Shu be capable of civil and military affairs, but he was

He stood out in the imperial examination. A good imperial examination was completely controlled by the powerful.

Han Fu, a native of Yingchuan, was an official in the imperial court and was appointed as the censor Zhongcheng.

Kong Niao, a native of Chenliu in Yanzhou, worked as a senior planner under Feng Dai, the prefect of Chenliu.

Liu Dai, a native of Muping, came from the east and served as a minister in the court.

Wang Kuang, a native of Taishan County, Yanzhou, served as the general's mansion under the command of General He Jin.

Zhang Miao, a native of Shouzhang in Dongping, was appointed as the prefect of Chenliu.

He was born in Qiaomao, Suiyang, and served as the prefect of Dongjun at that time.

Yuan Shao's cousin Yuan Yi was the magistrate of Chang'an at that time.

Bao Xin, a native of Pingyang in Mount Tai, served as General He Jin and was appointed as the Cavalry Commander.

Kong Rong, a native of Lu, served as an imperial envoy in the imperial court. Due to a disagreement with his superior, the imperial censor Zhongcheng Zhao She, Kong Rong returned home due to illness and was now without official status.

Zhang Chao, a native of Shouzhang in Dongping, is a younger brother of Zhang Miao and is currently the prefect of Guangling.

Zhang Yang, a native of Yunzhong County in Bingzhou, was assigned to Mengwu under Ding Yuan's command.

At a time when the world's heroes have not yet risen, Liu Bei, the giant deer, firstly defeated the Yellow Turban and captured Zhang Jiao, the first to conquer the thief; secondly, he had the great virtue of persuading the Ling Emperor; thirdly, he held the imperial examination, issued national debt, and promoted the name of Quyuanli.

.

Today, Liu Bei is worshiped as the General of Zhendong, the Marquis of Zhongshan Ting, and the governor of Julu County. Under his command are 8,000 armored men, 2,000 cavalry, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers. His troops are so powerful that he has few opponents.

——

At the end of June, envoys from the imperial court arrived.

Generally speaking, when an envoy from the imperial court comes, it must be a big event, but this time it is different.

A banquet was held to receive the envoy. During the banquet, the envoy stated the purpose of his visit, but the envoy said that he had come to Julu to sell national debt by order of the imperial court.

Li Mengxi was even surprised. He was so embarrassed that he sold the national debt to Mr. Li.

Before Li could use the method of amassing money through bonds, before he started borrowing money from the rich, the court took the lead, which made Li Mengxi extremely depressed.

For a normal and reputable country, it is fine to buy some national debt and earn interest.

However, the Han Dynasty is now in a state of turmoil, and it is very likely that nothing will happen after buying the national debt.

After leaving the banquet and discussing privately, Li Mengxi thought it was best not to buy it.

Liu Bei was worried about his face and said it would be a bad idea not to buy it. So he could only buy some symbolically.

You know, Liu Bei's official position is not small now. Because Liu Bei's official position is high, and this National Debt Law was submitted to the court by Liu Xuande, who knows how many pairs of eyes in the court are looking at it. All these factors make Liu Bei unable to even make a show.

Take less money.

Liu Bei made a show and took three million dollars at once.

When the envoy left, he took away three million dollars and left behind a pile of tattered bonds.

The bonds issued by the imperial court were a palm-sized piece of silk, with the seal of the [Han National Debt Department] printed on the silk, along with the denomination and the time when the bond was issued.

In Li Mengxi's eyes, too many of the treasury bonds issued by the Han Dynasty were unprofessional.

"Silk is not good. Silk is available everywhere in the world and can easily be counterfeited.

We are the only ones who can issue bonds in Julu. We alone in Julu have paper, and no one else has it. No one else can forge it even if they want to."

Li Mengxi criticized the imperial bonds as worthless with a critical eye.

When everyone thought about a large number of counterfeit bonds, they worried about the court.

In fact, Li Mengxi felt that there was no need to worry about forgery at all, because it was very likely that the imperial court would collapse before it could even support the bond exchange.

The imperial government's national debt has a repayment period of ten years. Can the Han Dynasty still survive for ten years?
