Start by integrating Ran Min and starting with the strategy of Lady Bian

The fire in the palace changed the situation in the court.

Liu Hong was no longer humane, and only the eldest prince Liu Bian was left, the only one left.

Only Liu Bian was qualified to inherit the throne.

Therefore, Liu Bian's position was instantly stable.

And then came He Jin!

As Liu Bian's uncle, He Jin was naturally a firm supporter of Liu Bian, so Liu Hong also began to promote He Jin.

Not long after the fire in the palace, Liu Hong appointed He Jin as the Grand Commandant.

The Grand Commandant was the head of the three officials and was in charge of military and political affairs.

It can be said that He Jin became the biggest beneficiary of the fire in the palace.

The eldest prince Liu Bian has the right of succession, and He Jin is the head of the three officials, the Grand Commandant.

He Jin's future is bright, and for a while, He Jin suddenly became a celebrity in Luoyang, and many guests came to visit him.

Time came to the eve of the Spring Festival of the new year of the Han Dynasty.

Luoyang, Li Mansion.

The festive atmosphere enveloped Li Xiang's mansion with lights and decorations.

The meeting hall.

Li Xiang sat at the top.

Zhen Yi, Mi Zhu, Li Sheng, housekeeper Zhou Fu and others gathered.

"A few months have passed in a blink of an eye. This year is a very important year for the Li family. It all depends on your efforts!"

Li Xiang smiled as he looked at Zhen Yi, Mi Zhu, Li Sheng, housekeeper Zhou Fu and others in the hall.

"My Lord, what are you talking about? We didn't do anything. All this is the credit of my Lord!"

Mi Zhu looked at Li Xiang and said respectfully.

Witnessing the rise of the Li family with his own eyes, Mi Zhu was very shocked.

Today, the Li family is a behemoth that cannot be underestimated.

Li Xiang himself was conferred the title of General of the Guards, Marquis of Longxi, and Guanglu Xun of the Nine Ministers.

He has 30,000 imperial guards under his command, which can be regarded as the top officials of the Han Dynasty.

And the people under the Li family are also extraordinary.

The Li family's guards, the begging army, the Li family's horse farm, and the products such as the Palace Jade Liquor are spread throughout the thirteen states and borders of the Han Dynasty.

The distribution of porridge and grain has been going on.

"Today, I summoned you to come here, and I still have to make a year-end summary!"

After a casual chat, Li Xiang quickly talked about the main topic of this gathering.

Hearing this, everyone sat up straight, and a hint of expectation appeared on their faces.

You know, this year, the Palace Jade Liquor, soap, sugar and other products are popular in the Han Dynasty.

After speaking, Li Xiang looked at the butler Zhou Fu beside him.

The housekeeper Zhou Fu did not neglect it either. He stood up with a smile on his face and said:

"Master, in the past few months, our Li's products have been selling well. The palace jade liquor, soap, and sugar are in short supply."

"The capitals of various states, prosperous cities, such as Chang'an, Chenliu, Shouchun, Hanzhong, Lujiang, Chaisang, Puyang and other cities, are all full of our products."

"In the territory of the Han Dynasty alone, more than 23,100 jars of jade liquor were sold. According to the calculation of 100 dan of grain per jar, the grain sales amounted to 2.3 million dan of grain. The total reservation for various places in the Han Dynasty is 36,000 jars!"

"And jade liquor was also sold to Wuhuan, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qiang and other ethnic minorities. Each jar of jade liquor was sold for three horses, or two oxen, and ten Sheep, more than 7,000 jars were sold, and it was very popular on the grassland. "

"So, all kinds of goods were finally settled, and there were 3.9 million shi of grain and 320 million yuan in the account."

"The master opened a horse farm in Yunzhong, and with the horses brought back from Xianbei before, there are now more than 140,000 strong horses."

"There are also more than 84,000 caravan guards, all of whom are well-trained and can fully protect our caravan from bandits and robbers."

"We recruited and used workers, more than 248,000 people distributed all over the place."

"There are also porridge and grain. Our Li family has distributed grain for several months, helping a total of 9.24 million people, saving countless people!"

Zhou Fu took the account and made a rough report.

Listening to Zhou Fu's report,

Zhen Yi, Mi Zhu, Li Sheng and others looked at Li Xiang with eager eyes.

Soap, Jade Wine, and White Sugar are money-making tools. They have long known that with these, the Li family is enough to become a wealthy family in the Han Dynasty.

In addition to Li Xiang's status in the court, with Li Xiang, the Li family will definitely become a giant in the Han Dynasty!

However, they still did not underestimate the huge profits of soap, Jade Wine, and White Sugar. It has only been a short time, less than a year, and the Li family has accumulated such wealth.

And if you count other things, the Li family really treats it as a behemoth.

Sitting at the top, Li Xiang was also a little excited when listening to Zhou Fu's report.

The caravan guards more than 80,000 people, more than 200,000 workers, 140,000 horses in the horse farm, and the grain account of the granary

At present, there are 3.9 million shi of grain and 320 million yuan.

Even the relief of the people has reached 9.24 million times, countless people have been saved, and the Jade Liquor has fully played the role he originally envisioned.

Taking grain from the nobles, on the one hand, strengthens his Li Xiang's power, and on the other hand, helps the people.

"Yes, continue to maintain it. In addition, don't hold a lot of money in your hands, try to change it into food, this world is becoming more and more unstable."

Li Xiang said with a smile, and at the same time said something that made everyone a little confused.

The troubled times are coming.

After this Spring Festival, it will be 183 AD.

And after 183, it will be 184.

184 is destined to be a year of earth-shaking for the Han Dynasty.

Although Li Xiang's butterfly wings are very flashing and he has helped countless people, it is only a favor of a bowl of porridge and a meal. It is impossible to help all the people and keep them from lacking food.

Therefore, even though the Yellow Turban Rebellion may be delayed due to his appearance, the general trend is difficult to change.

This is a rebellion of countless lower-class people who have no way to survive.

It is also an attack from the lower class on the upper class!

If it is not completely overthrown, there will be no substantial solution at all.

Li Xiang did not want to intervene in this matter. He said that directly overthrowing the Taiping Dao could temporarily stop the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

However, even if there was no Yellow Turban Rebellion, would countless lower-class people in the Han Dynasty be able to survive?

No, if no one stood up and broke out, more and more lower-class people in the Han Dynasty would starve to death in dire straits.

Only by overturning and provoking this old system and the aristocratic group can the lower-class people in the Han Dynasty have new hope.

What Li Xiang can do is to create a new dynasty when the Han Dynasty is in name only and when the people do not suffer too many casualties.

And there is no doubt that troubled times are coming.

The five-zhu coin will depreciate greatly.

Having food is the way to go!

With more than 200 million in hand, it is a great folly.

In the hall, Zhou Fu, Mi Zhu, Zhen Yi and others did not quite understand what Li Xiang said, but they did not think much about it.

"Yes! Fu will find a way to exchange the money for food!"

Zhou Fu hurriedly agreed.

Li Xiang looked at everyone in the hall again and said:

"After this Spring Festival, the Li family will have to make major adjustments, and all industries will be transferred to the northern border!"

"What? All industries will be transferred to the northern border?"

Everyone in the hall was shocked and puzzled when they heard Li Xiang's decision.

The development of the aristocratic family all wanted to move to Luoyang. After all, Luoyang was the imperial capital. Why did Li Xiang want to transfer industries to the border?

Seeing the puzzled eyes of the crowd, Li Xiang said without hesitation:

"After the beginning of spring, regardless of whether the foreign races invade the border of the Han Dynasty, this marquis will mobilize all the troops and fight against the foreign races. This marquis will expand the territory for the Han Dynasty. The border of the Han Dynasty will no longer be the border of the Han Dynasty, so it will be better to put the industry in the border!"

Li Xiang talked about the reason for transferring the industry.

Indeed, he was ready to start a full-scale war with the foreign races.

By then, the border of the Han Dynasty will no longer be a border.

Of course, Li Xiang had another reason that he didn't say.

The world will be in chaos.

Even Luoyang may not be safe in the future, so he, Li Xiang, is going to prepare to transfer the industry to the north.

"This..." Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing what Li Xiang said. Butler Zhou Fu had a wry smile on his face and asked Li Xiang, "Where will the master transfer his industry to? Bingzhou? Or Youzhou?"

Listening to the butler's question, Li Xiang narrowed his eyes and said:

"Yanmen, transfer the industry to Yanmen County. Yanmen is the northern gateway of the Han Dynasty and a node connecting the grassland and the Central Plains. This place is quite suitable!"

"This... Yes!"

Butler Zhou Fu looked sad when he heard Li Xiang put the industry transfer location in Yanmen, a remote frontier.

However, Li Xiang's majesty was obviously not something he could challenge.

In the hall, Zhen Yi and Mi Zhu both frowned at Li Xiang's decision.
