Liu Fan's words instantly ignited Yang Song's heart. He thought that Liu Fan's name might be a good general and a famous plan, but Liu Fan was drunk and muttered that he was short of money!

I think so, Liu Fan, who has been in Chang'an for many years, has just returned to Yizhou and has a meager reputation. If he has no more soldiers, money and food, how can he suppress all ethnic groups in Yizhou? Now, the number of soldiers under his command is quite powerful, so what really troubles him will be his money and food!

Speaking of money and grain, Yang Song instantly became tough. Now he had only the money left. While supporting Liu Fan, Yang Song asked quietly, "I wonder how much money the young master is short of now? I might be able to raise some money."

"You?" Liu Fan looked at him with a squinted look on his face, and sneered, with a sarcastic voice, "It's not that I look down on you, but you should know that this money and grain is used to prepare for my direct army. If I succeed in serving the king in the future, do you know his lowest official position?"

"What official position is it?" Yang Song was nervous when he rolled his Adam's apple.

"Hehe, the lowest senior manager!"

As the words stopped, Yang Song's heart was filled with storms. The lowest nine ministers started, which was something he never dared to imagine. His eyes gradually became brighter, and Yang Song stared at Liu Fan, and his breathing gradually began to be rapid.

"If the young master does not dislike it, the Yang family is willing to spend all their money and help the young master support the Han Dynasty!"

With Yang Song's intelligence, he could see that this was an investment, and the risk was not a great investment. Because even if Liu Fan could not become a great figure in supporting the Han Dynasty in the future, his Liu family would definitely be king in the land of Yizhou.

So, in just a moment, Yang Song made up his mind to bet on Liu Fan and the future of the Yang family.

"No, no!" Liu Fan quickly waved his hand, and seemed to be drunk and fell asleep before he could say anything to reject Yang Song.

After looking at each other, the Yang Song brothers had a very tacit understanding. They immediately called the attendant and sent Liu Fan to the back hall to rest. After greeting everyone, they left with them. Since Liu Fan had rested, the whole banquet was over.

Zhang Wei and Yan Pu walked back with solemn brows. As for Meng Da and Fa Zhengze, they smiled tacitly, and they actually walked towards the back hall where Liu Fan was resting.

County Government back hall

Liu Fan was drinking the sobering tea soup handed over by Wei Cong, listening to Liu Dan's report beside him.

"In recent years, there have been few wars in Hanzhong and Zhang Lu was generous in his rule, so the people still lived and worked in peace. According to Jiandu, the county government registered, there were nine cities, 57,344 households, and 267,420 mouths." He reported to Liu Fan seriously.

Liu Dan has now developed the habit of automatically taking over the government affairs in the city after entering the city. Therefore, when Liu Fan led all the generals to take over Nanzheng, Liu Dan had already begun to take over the county magistrate's mansion.

Qingshui gently applied her cheeks, and Liu Fan nodded and responded, "So there are 260,000 people in Hanzhong. If you recruit about 20,000 soldiers, is there any problem?"

With his eyebrows slightly condensed, Liu Dan also pondered. It was not without recruiting troops at the ratio of thirteen to one. If it was short, there would be no problem. However, over time, the people of Hanzhong alone would not be able to support the army for long-term combat.

"It's okay to recruit soldiers, but without enough money and food, it's difficult to support the men's marching and fighting!" Liu Dan thought about it and told Liu Fan the most fundamental problem.

"I have solved the money and food problem in the early stage. If I continue to fight, will it reduce the loss?"

Liu Fan's problem arose again, and Liu Dan was stunned. Even if the initial money and grain of 20,000 people were still a lot of money. Without long-term accumulation, it would be difficult for anyone to take advantage of it. "I wonder how my brother wants to obtain this early money and grain? If he plunders of the Hanzhong gentry, this move is not rational."

"You don't have to worry about how I get it. I just ask you, is this policy feasible?"

After a moment of silence, Liu Dan nodded after a while, "It should be OK. As long as the initial financial resources are enough to support the army for a month, after the tax collection in Hanzhong in the later period, it can be supplied to the army." And, Liu Dan paused, "If we return to Shuzhong and go from our father, we should be able to take over a certain amount of supplies!"

The two brothers looked at each other for a long time, but they didn't say anything more. In fact, the reason why they had to make careful calculations before entering Shu was that they were afraid that the army would invade the wealth of the gentry of Bashu after entering Shu, and they used this as an excuse to resist. However, what Liu Dan thought was that with Liu Yan, they would not dare to be so arrogant. With Liu Fan's current military strength, by the time Liu Yan was a hundred years later, they would still take over Yizhou steadily.

But what Liu Dan didn't know was that Liu Yan might die of illness this year. At that time, it was the most difficult time for the brothers. If Liu Fan wanted to suppress the counties and counties, the wealthy families in Yizhou would inevitably unite to resist.

Unless he is like Liu Zhang, he is worshipped by everyone and becomes the nominal lord of Yizhou and allows the aristocratic families to expand endlessly.

Obviously, Liu Fan would not allow the nobles to act recklessly in his eyes.

Therefore, knowing the difficulties of entering Shu, Liu Fan kept preparing. He wanted to do it, and in time, Liu Yan did not have time to transfer some of the powers in Yizhou to him. He had enough confidence and strength to accept these.

Just as the two brothers were discussing what happened after entering Shu, Fa Zheng and Meng Da also came to Liu Fan's house one after another.

"How is the matter talking?" Seeing Fa Zheng coming in, Liu Fan asked him directly.

Smiling and nodding, Fa Zheng naturally knew what Liu Fan was asking. After learning from Yang Song's mansion that Zhang Lu came out, Liu Fan explained to Fa Zheng about Yan Pu. There could be no Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, but Yan Pu must be there. Only by letting Yan Pu sincerely surrender and assist, Hanzhong can become a stable rear.

"Yan Zimao has some talent. I briefly talked with him about managing prefectures and counties. He could answer them well and familiarize himself with the people in Hanzhong. This person is indeed a rare capable minister and official. If you want to stabilize Hanzhong, you still need this person to help you."

"Then did he agree to what I asked you to convey to him?"

"He used the duties of the county magistrate to sort out the affairs of Hanzhong. Now the matter is very important, and he wants to go back and think about it."

Before the banquet, Liu Fan had already made a statement to Fa Zheng and used the affairs of the Hanzhong County Magistrate to win over Yan Pu. Speaking of which, the county magistrate is actually no different from the county magistrate. Once Zhang Lu left Hanzhong, Hanzhong would inevitably be taken over by Liu Fan in name. Although he would become the prefect of Hanzhong, he would not stay in Hanzhong for a long time.

Therefore, the matter of governing Hanzhong ended up falling on the county magistrate. As for when he could become a county magistrate who ranked 2,000 stone, it was only a matter of time.

At the latest, after Liu Fan takes over Yizhou, he will inevitably become the magistrate of the two thousand stone county. If you need to hurry up, Yan Pu may be able to improve after Liu Fan gains a foothold in Yizhou. But the premise is that Yan Pu chose to follow Liu Fan this time.

Liu Fan didn't say anything about this. Although Yan Pu wanted to take over, due to Zhang Lu's face, he could not shake hands and talk to him now. In this way, if Yan Pu himself was not happy, he would have had a feud with both of them at the same time, which was not in line with the current interests.

Therefore, Liu Fan first focused on Zhang Lu, supplemented by testing Yan Pu's meaning. If he had already extended an olive branch and Yan Pu was unwilling to continue, there was no need to continue to force anything. After all, as the future leader of Yizhou, there would be enough talents in Yizhou, not to mention anything else.

He looked at Meng Da again. Seeing that he seemed to him, Meng Da would be willing to be willing to do so, and immediately smiled: "Mr. Zhang has agreed to submit to his lord and is willing to continue to guard Hanzhong for him. Just let Zhang Gongqi and others go back to Sichuan with the lord."

"I feel much more relieved with Zijing!" At that moment, Liu Fan finally laughed. He looked around everyone and said, "At the banquet, I had already tempted Zhang Gongqi to follow me to return to Sichuan with the Tao of the Heavenly Master. He was also moved and promised, so he could not help the follow-up of this matter.

Later, Zhongxuan arranged for some Langwei to protect Zhang Gongqi and his family. Gongming and Lingming have already reorganized the Hanzhong army in my name. At the same time, you will appease the counties and towns in Hanzhong in the name of the county magistrate's office, and it will still be the same. Then, you will notify Baozhong and Yangping Pass, Yang Ang and Yang Ren to stay for the time being without returning."

"What should the Yang family do?" After hearing Liu Fan's arrangement, Liu Dan couldn't help asking. After all, the Yang family is a big family in Hanzhong. If they cannot be properly appeased, there may be changes.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Wait a minute, someone from the Yang family will contact you in a while!"

His eyes were puzzled, and Liu Dan listened to Liu Fan's words for some reason, as if through his words, the Yang family would contact him later. Just when Liu Dan was confused, his deputy Suning sent his servants to call him in a hurry.

With a frown slightly, Liu Dan looked at Suning. He was steady and would not usually look for him if there was no emergency or major matter. He walked out quickly and whispered with Suning outside the door for a while. Liu Dan walked in with a book in a confused look on his face.

He came to Liu Fan in a daze. Liu Dan handed him the book, but still did not come to his senses. "The Yang family sent a book and was willing to fund all the money and grain that the Yang family has accumulated over the years to our army. The amount is huge. Please check it out!"

After taking the book, Liu Fan only glanced at it, and his eyes widened quickly. Yang Song was really invested heavily, and he flipped several pages in a row. Liu Fan couldn't help but sigh that Yang Song was betting on where he could go.

Speaking of which, although Yang Song is greedy, his investment vision is still extremely accurate. He can quickly choose a camp according to subtle changes in wind directions. Such a person can still keep him as long as he does not allow him to be in a high position and holds the weight of his power.

After all, he gave too much.

After raising the book in his hand, Liu Fan raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows, "With these, do we have any concerns when we enter Shu?"

Shaking his head, Liu Dan had nothing to say anymore.

After handing the book to him, Liu Fan smiled and said, "Shaoqing, you personally lead someone to his house to visit and tell him that I will definitely visit his house after I wake up. Also, I promised him in my name that after returning to Yizhou, I will report to the court and give him the title of the inner guard of the pass!"

His eyes lit up, and everyone was shocked. Liu Fan's move was unrelenting. Yang Song could actually win the marquis just by making money. Such a reward was absolutely unimaginable in the past. But Liu Fan, as the first heir to Yizhou, had the right to say this.

Wealthy and wealthy, Yang Song really turned wealth into wealthy this time!

The general policy of Nancheng has been decided, and the next step is to improve it step by step. Liu Fan went to Yang Song's mansion that afternoon to have a happy conversation with him. Yang Song was also motivated to contribute to Liu Fan's great cause.

In response, Liu Fan naturally welcomed this with open arms. He decided to hand over the salt and iron run by the Hanzhong government and various wealth and goods trade routes to Yang Song to manage and establish a department office. In Liu Fan's words, this is the experience before taking office as a senior manager. Hearing that he said, Yang Song was full of energy and vowed to accumulate a lot of wealth for Liu Fan.

After solving Yang Song, Liu Fan communicated with Yan Pu several times. After going back to consider for a while, Yan Pu finally chose Liu Fan. After all, his family was young and were all in Yizhou, and Liu Fan could give him enough platform, and it would be enough for him to realize his own value.

After dealing with Yang Song and Yan Pu, Liu Fan waited for the news from other counties to be heard back. In the army, Xu Huang and Pang De had completed the reorganization and began to train soldiers.

Xu Huang's troops expanded to 5,000, Pang De's troops expanded to 3,000, Sun Zhao's two, and Meng Da's first contribution to this battle, directly expanded to 3,000. He became the third general in the army who was on par with Pang De.

Liu Dan's personal guards also regained 500 people under Liu Fan's selection. Although there were only 500 people, their elite level did not weaken at all. On the contrary, due to the increase in Liu Fan's source of troops, the carefully selected players were all smart, brave and brave.

At the same time, Liu Fan has begun to instruct Liu Dan to consciously recruit some orphans, and to cultivate loyalty from an early age, so as to make great use in the future.

A few days later, Liu Fan received reports from various counties and counties in Hanzhong, and taxes were confirmed to be completely pacified. Liu Fan began to rectify his troops and marched towards Yangping Pass.

After Yang Song surrendered to Liu Fan, he directly wrote to Yang Ren and Yang Ang to surrender to Liu Fan. The two of them were also very obedient, one stationed in Baozhong and the other stationed in Yangping Pass, and neither led his troops back to Nanzheng.

However, just now, news came from Yangping Pass that a general from Shu led his troops to attack Yangping Pass, and Yang Ang could no longer defend it.

So Liu Fan made a quick decision and appointed Yan Pu as the county magistrate to continue to govern Hanzhong. Meng Da led 3,000 troops to garrison Nanzheng as the lieutenant, and the rest of the people Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei, Yang Bai and others all followed him into Shu.

The next day, Liu Fan led an army of 10,000 people to advance towards Yangping Pass. With Zhang Wei as the vanguard, Xu Huang as the central army, Pang De as the rear army, and Fa Zheng as the military advisor, he quickly advanced towards Yangping Pass.

At the same time, Yangping Guanxi

Looking at the Yangping Pass, which was about to be broken, Zhao Wei looked particularly solemn. When he talked with Yang Ang, the commander of Yangping Pass, the other party said that the Left Zhonglang had taken Hanzhong and would arrive at Yangping Pass soon, so he asked him to wait for a few days.

Of course, Zhao Wei thought he was deliberately delaying, but the news he received from the siege in recent days made Zhao Wei hesitate!
