It is snowing in Liao. I don't know if the snow is earlier than in previous years, but the cold is really cold.The snow did not stop for a whole day and night, and Jiaoliao has become a snow country.
On the snow without horseshoes, a group of more than [-] horses galloped wildly, looking north.
In this line, more than a dozen army soldiers opened the way ahead, and a cavalry front line was naturally arranged.He was wearing light armor with thick fur clothes inside, a fur hat, gloves, and even silk cloth around his face. Only his eyes were exposed, and his eyelashes were covered with frost.
Of the ten or so riders following behind, only two or three of them were equipped better than the knights in front, and they were equipped with brocade hats and mink fur.Even though the knights behind were wearing thick clothes that could keep them warm, they were no match for the brocade cap and ermine fur, and even less than the fur clothes of the knights in front.
The identities of these twenty riders are self-evident.
The ten or so riders in front must be soldiers under the command of the governor, and the ten or so riders in the rear, wearing brocade hats and sable furs, are the principals of Zhen's trip, and the knights behind are servants of Zhen's family soldiers, and they are going to Tuhe to see the general .
Zhen Sheng, the direct line of the side branch of the Zhen family, that is, the son of the side branch's mistress, is the person in charge of this trip to Liaodong.
They came here in a group of five hundred, driving hundreds of horse-drawn carriages. They arrived in Desuizhong yesterday morning, and received a reply from the general in the middle of the night. After an hour and a half, I used the morning food and set off for Tuhe.
This is because Suizhong is two hundred miles away from the Tuhe River, and if the people of the Zhen family travel two hundred miles a day, they may not be able to support it.But the general has an order saying 'see you tomorrow', so you must get it.The soldiers and civilian officials in the front don't care about Zhen's family. The general said that they will be there, so they drove all night without much rest.If not, it would take four days for a normal person to travel from Suizhong to Tuhe, even on horseback.Only cavalry who are skilled in bow and horse can run to death.
However, the rich people of this era have all practiced it, and wearing a sword on their waist is not a decoration.Although Zhen Cheng didn't practice so hard, he could barely hold on. He watched the scene along the way.
The roadside is full of green brick houses, with green smoke wafting from the chimneys.Occasionally, a child in unlined clothing ran out of the house to play in the snow, and was brutally beaten by the woman, who then closed the door.On the mountain to the west, although the distance is very far away, many densely packed small figures can still be seen, and there is even a sound of falling trees coming from a distance.
He had already seen it in Suizhong yesterday, and he even lived in a brick house and sat on a kang.Bricks are not rare, but kangs are rare, and it is even more rare to build such brick houses for the common people.It is not uncommon to cut down mountains. It is not uncommon for the army to cut down mountains on a large scale just to chop firewood for the people to keep warm in winter.
Now everyone in the wealthy family knows that the Yellow Turban has produced a capable person, unlike Zhang Jiao and others who fought against trapped beasts in the Central Plains and ran to the Liaodong separatist regime with a clear mind.Although the political views of Wang Yan and Liu Bei have been widely disseminated, no one believes them.
Now that he came to the territory of Liaodong, Zhen Sheng found that Wang Yan didn't seem to be joking, and he really treated the people very well, so he became more and more curious.
It was with this kind of curiosity that Zhen Cheng and the others finally arrived at Tuhe when the sun was about to dark and they drove all the way like lightning.
Compared with other cities where the city is located, Tuhe City is cleaner, and the snow on the road is also cleaned.What remains unchanged is that there is light smoke floating over the entire Tuhe River, and the city is filled with the smell of rice fragrance.
Without time to rest, Zhen Sheng followed the others to Chengxi Shuyuan.After being informed by the personal guards, Zhen Sheng entered with the general's personal guards alone.As soon as I entered the door, I felt the heat wave blowing against my face, the room was very bright, there were many candles, and as far as I could see, there were huge wooden frames with bamboo slips all over them.Walking with the guards, to the inner south window, finally saw the owner of this place.
Zhen Cheng looked, but saw an elegant man, sitting cross-legged on the mat, with a handsome face and a resolute appearance, with long hair standing up loosely, with green jade hairpins inserted, wearing a plain white brocade singlet, open collar, and rolled arms , it can be seen that its stature is strong.He is lazy and casual, careless, and looks like a master of Taoism.However, his deep eyes seem to see through people's hearts at a glance.It gives people a sense of being close to nature, but also has an invisible coercion, which makes people trust and fear.
He was a real hero, but before he could speak, Zhen Sheng felt uneasy.
"General, someone from the Zhen family will bring you here." The guard clasped his hands.
"You're sick again, I'm not blind, I can see." Wang Yan laughed and scolded the young guard who was playing for him, and waved his hands, "Let's pass on the food and wine."
The personal guard took the order and left, seeing Wang Yan's gaze on him, Zhen Cheng hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "Wuji Zhencheng, I pay my respects to General Tianwu."
Wang Yan still sat cross-legged on the table, and waved his hands with a smile: "The noble family of the Zhen family, I am deeply grateful for the Zhen family's love for me to come here to do business in this icy and snowy time. No need to be too polite, just sit down."
There are no high tables or benches here, but low tables where he sits on his knees.Because he often held meetings and classes with his subordinates, there are many seats on the left and right.
Zhen Sheng bowed his hands to thank him, and sat down on his knees, his body was upright and very standard.
Wang Yan asked with a smile, "I don't know what your sign is?"
"Back to the general, my name is Meng Guang, which is from the Zhen family. It is specialized in family business and business affairs. I heard that the general established a business in Liaodong. It is expected that the general must be short of grain and rice. I am here to bring two thousand stones of grain, hemp, silk, Three thousand pieces of silk and satin, come and trade with the general."
What Zhen Sheng said was very straightforward. In the entire Han Dynasty, except for the Han Court, Wang Yan is the richest.He started from Zhuojun and grew stronger all the way. He wiped out Wubao, a wealthy family, and destroyed more than [-] cities. At least half of the wealth in Yuyang County, half of the wealth in Youbeiping County, and almost all the wealth in Liaoxi County.
It's true, when it comes to money and treasures, Wang Yan has plenty, and there are two East China Sea night pearls on his table.There are countless silks and hundreds of millions of copper coins.There are also hundreds of tons of bronze cast statues.At this time, there are countless horseshoe gold cakes, silver nuggets, precious medicinal materials, animal skins and tiger bones, etc.The wealth accumulated by the wealthy family for hundreds of years is in his hands alone, so how could there not be much.
It's just that everyone knows that money alone is useless, and treasures of money are just equivalents, they can't be eaten as food, and they have to be spent in exchange for things.
Wang Yan was noncommittal, and asked clearly: "Meng Guang is not sincere, he only trades goods, not to help me achieve great things, and to rejuvenate your Wuji Zhen family?"
Zhen Cheng froze for a moment, thought for a moment, Fang nodded and said: "What the general said is very true, my Zhen family really has this intention.
Now the Han Dynasty is weak, the emperor's prestige is not obvious, and the ten permanent servants control the government, which is harmful to the people's government.I heard that the current health is not good, and it may not be long. The prince is young and has not heard of a good name. At that time, he may not be able to come to the court, and there will be disasters, and the Han Dynasty will not last long. Within 20 years, there will be chaos, the princes will rise in chaos, and the heroes will compete for the throne.
Since the general said that the Zhen family will be revived, he must know that my Zhen family is in decline, and I only manage and maintain the business.It is difficult to do this for a long time, but it is fish ears.Although the Zhen family wanted to find a way to rejuvenate, they did not dare to move lightly.The life of the whole family is related, so I dare not ignore it.
The general was born in the head of Guizhou and started from Zhuojun. He passed all the way and killed the generals, destroyed the castles and fortresses, recruited the people, compiled and trained a strong army, and the soldiers were trapped. Wuhuan, as this foundation.With 20 soldiers and [-] people in charge, the general is really a hero, and he is very respectful.
However, although the general has defeated [-] people in Wuhuan, he is facing a cold and bitter winter.From my point of view with Suizhong, the general treats the people very well, but there is no production inside and no income outside, and the food and fodder may not be able to support it.Eastern Liaodong is bitterly cold, with roads blocked by heavy snow, and even with caravans coming and going, it is difficult to maintain consumption.
And when winter turns to spring, when the ice disappears and the snow melts, Liu Youzhou will raise an army to attack.At that time, the north and the south were attacking, how would the general deal with it? "
It can be seen that the Han Dynasty is about to fall, which is normal for a wealthy family with many information channels.After all, they all know how the Han Dynasty fell.No one would be naive and just blame the emperor for his extravagance, the Shichang servants who disrupted the country, the disputes between the party and the party, and the chaos of the Yellow Turban.But what they said must be the reason, and it is impossible to admit their mistakes.
After all, what's wrong with them growing their family?
Just as Wang Yan was about to answer, his personal guards came in with a bowl of rice. The snow fell in the past two days, and the General had a whim, so he ate boiled mutton.It’s just that there are not many seasonings now, and the dipping sauce is not very good. I only added a little soy sauce, chives, minced garlic, and a little spice powder, but fortunately, the mutton is good and the taste is excellent, which is offset.
Mutton has been eaten for a long time, and rich people mainly ate mutton at this time.As for garlic, spices, etc., most of them were brought back by Zhang Qian from the Western Regions, and some of them came from the south.
Hot pot has existed for a long time. It is nothing more than that people used to cook large pieces of meat, but now they cook small pieces of meat. There is nothing unusual about it.
The wine he drank was from the wealthy family, and it was all decent pure grain wine, which had to be sifted before drinking.Under the rule of the general, drinking alcohol was prohibited, and only occasionally rewarded two altars to his subordinates, just to taste the taste. Now there is a severe shortage of food, and there is no spare energy to make wine.
In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, alcohol prohibition has always been enforced.There are floods, severe droughts, and migratory locusts. There is not enough food for people, so where can they still drink.But this is of little use to the wealthy family.When the time comes, people should eat and drink.
Wang Yan plans to make some fruit wine in the coming year, such as plums, pomegranates, grapes, etc., as drinks...
After chatting with Zhen Cheng about food, eating a few mouthfuls of meat, and drinking a few glasses of wine, the general followed up with Zhen Cheng's question.
"Just now, you said how I should deal with it, so as to deal with the enemies in the midwinter and the coming year. I thought that wealth can be a god. Liaodong is covered with snow and ice, and the road is difficult. I will promise you a lot of money. The merchant's family will bring food here. .I don’t know what the current food price is?”
"Three hundred qian for millet, wheat, and millet, and five hundred for beans. This is the price of grain in Guanzhong. A land with a lot of grain is cheap, but a land with little grain is very expensive. The general commanding the army, you should know that the grain transport team eats horses and chews. Too much wear and tear. When I left home, I took three thousand shi of grain with me, so far it was only over two thousand shi. I kept it for the return journey, and there were only two thousand shi left.
And Zhang Jiao is dead, and although the Yellow Turban is broken, the rest of the army is still a disaster everywhere.On the road to Liaodong, there are many bandits and bandits. If you are negligent, you will lose your life. It is not easy to transport a lot of food.Even if I make an agreement with the general, it will be a loss if it reaches six hundred dollars. "
The price of food is not cheap anymore. In these days, people only earn a stone of rice for a month of work. The whole family works, and they can almost survive without eating enough.But this is already the next hundred years when food prices will be the cheapest.In the future, natural disasters and man-made disasters will occur one after another, and food prices will rise to the sky.
Wang Yan smiled and nodded: "Now I'm with Qianqian, or even Qianqianbai, are you willing to transport food again?"
"If this is the case, Sheng will definitely come here. However, my Zhen family wants to be suitable for the general, so there is no need to pay a high price here, as long as it is not damaged."
"Your family and surname, how can you provide food for my 30 soldiers and civilians? You must spread the word, and the big merchants will gather in our Liao land." The general smiled and drank, very confident, put down the wine bottle, and pointed with his fingers Transparent large glass windows, "How do you see this?"
"Excellent. This thing is clear and bright. It can shine in the sun during the day without opening the window. You can enjoy the winter scenery in the conservatory. When Fang came, Sheng wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask for a moment. I would like to ask the general. What is it?"
For the pursuit of enjoyment, the general has never been hardworking.After working in Liaodong for more than a month, two large pieces of glass were produced, and the craftsmen were ordered to clamp them together to form such a floor-to-ceiling window.
Without this, the feeling of winter is not good, because the rich people use silk for the windows now, and the poor use various things to fill them, and there is no window paper.Stay indoors with little light.The Han and Tang Dynasties were strong and prosperous, but the common people were very difficult.
Next year, we will burn glass vigorously, and strive to let the people under the rule have the freedom to see the light in winter.And with glass light, less dry firewood can be burned during the day.
These are all basic life inventions. He has already told his craftsmen and farmers that they must think more, study more, and create more...
The general said with a smile: "The white colored glaze that I named was made by a skilled craftsman. In addition to being used as a bright window, I also made colored glaze cups, glazed bowls, colored glaze statues, etc. The thing on the shelf is, you And watch it."
Following what the general pointed out, Zhen Cheng looked at a wooden shelf not far away, cupped his hands in apology, and went over to play with various things, as if looking at some treasure.
The general smiled and drank and ate meat. As for why he used a wine bottle instead of a glass, the wine bottle was naturally fresher. The glass glass had a fart, but the bronze wine bottle felt better.
After a while, Zhen Cheng knelt down again at the table, cupped his hands and said, "General, what is the price of this thing?"
"What do you think is the price?"
"Humanity is that rare things are the most precious. Naturally, the more difficult this thing is to make, the more expensive it is. If there are only a few dozen in this world, it should be a priceless treasure."
A cultured person is not straightforward when speaking.Wang Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "Next year, all the houses under my administration will have this window. If Ru Zhen is bold and not afraid of threats from others, this thing will be a priceless treasure before the spring."
Zhen Cheng laughed awkwardly, he really didn't have the courage.This year it will be priceless, and next year it will become cabbage. The wealthy clan will be angry and attack in groups. The Zhen family is already having a hard time, isn't that the end of the game?
"What the general said is reasonable, but my Zhen family is not prosperous, so I definitely can't do such things."
"Since that's the case, when you leave, you'll sell them all to pay for the grain and cloth you transported this time. What do you think?"
"But according to the general's words." Zhen Sheng cupped his hands, and approved the price of using dozens of broken glass to make things, in exchange for two thousand stones of grain, and three thousand bolts of various cloths.
In fact, those are not pure glass, but colored glass, but not colored glass, which is very bluffing.
This is Wang Yan's unwillingness to let the people under his rule wait for a long time, so they can enjoy it as soon as the glass is installed.Otherwise, with a glass, you can easily cut the leeks of the wealthy family for several years.It will not work in the future. When the world is in chaos, money is useless, and food and materials are king.At that time, it was hard to find someone who was taken advantage of.
"When you come back to Wuji, you should spread the word that you are invited to bring food from the wealthy merchants here. In this way, there will be no worries this winter." Wang Yan turned to ask, "You said that since Zhang Jiao died and the Yellow Turban was broken, I don't know the current situation. how?"
"When I came here, I heard that Zhang Jiao died of illness, Zhang Liang occupied Guangzong, Zhang Bao rebelled against the giant deer, and Hou Huangfusong of Duxiang sent troops to attack Guangzong again. At this time, the victory may have been decided, and Zhang Liang is dead."
Nodding his head, Wang Yan asked again: "Does the Ru Zhen family have connections to communicate with the ten permanent attendants?"
Zhen Cheng was stunned for a moment: "The general wants to buy an official?"
"Yes. I want to seek the position of Liaodong prefect. I am afraid that I will not be filial and honest. I am not in compliance with the regulations. The Emperor of Han will not grant it. If the purchase of an official fails, I can also make money to contact the ten permanent servants. If Liu Yan wants to raise an army, he must discuss it with the court. Fang Xing. How can Liu Yan raise an army to attack when the ten servants stand in the way?"
Big men have their own old tradition of selling officials and nobles. Old Cao's father, Cao Song, spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the position of Taiwei. That's the three princes...
Rebellion is about actions, not words, and there is no need to set up a flag of rebellion as a target.He wants peace and development, and wars will come later.So if you can have a serious name, that is very good.
Being a thief and being a rebel are two different things.He was in the local area, with 800 people, and gathered in the mountains and forests. According to the conduct of the officials of the Han emperor, it is estimated that they would not want to talk to him.However, there are still so many people raising the flag to rebel, which has touched the sensitive nerves of the court princes. There is a high probability that troops will be sent to suppress the rebellion, and it will definitely take a few rounds.But he has no intention of going south in the short term. This kind of battle consumes food and grass, which is meaningless. It is better to make money.
Besides, it is useless for him to ask for money. When the food and grass supplies are abundant, he will print and distribute banknotes, and control the economic initiative by himself, which is more convenient to regulate the economy, which is much better than copper coins, silk, gold and silver.The big families in the province hoard money and don't spend it. The banknotes are a pile of waste paper, so they hoard them hard.
There is another advantage to him being named the prefect of Liaodong, that is, he has a good name and is not a traitor. Angel investors will be more liberal.Whatever they think, I'm afraid they can't imagine that General Wang is not strong anymore, and he spends money to buy peace...
Zhen Cheng pondered for a moment: "With the general's affection, I will be able to buy an official. If I don't grant it, I will send troops to attack, and the loss will be too much. It is not as good as a unified name. Besides, there are many barbarians in Liaodong. The general is here to fight against the barbarians. I'm happy to see it. The general took the initiative to buy officials, and he spent a lot of money. Why don't you wait for the coming spring to win for a while, and the money will be less."
"Money is not as valuable as the lives of soldiers and civilians." The general waved his hands and said, "I heard that Cao Song used hundreds of millions of money to seek the position of Taiwei. Now I and you have billions of dollars to seek the position of Liaodong Taishou and Tianwu Great General. How dare you accept it?" ?”
"The general believes in my Zhen family so much?"
"But believe in the sword in my hand, the army under my command, and the people under my command."
Zhen Cheng was silent for a while, got up and left the table, faced the general, bowed his hands and said: "The Zhen family will live up to the general's expectations."
"No courtesy, no courtesy, Meng Guang doesn't have to be so polite. Ru Wuji Zhen knows how to adapt, and understands the general situation. I am very relieved to come to Liaodong to make a marriage. Today, I have a banquet, and tomorrow I will enter my treasury. I will not let you go for nothing. Run away. On the way back, I will send a thousand soldiers and horses to escort the money and send you home."
"Thank you General."
"Let's go to the table. It's cold and cold. It's best to drink wine and boiled meat. It's delicious. You should eat more and drink more." The general greeted the first adventurer who invested, and didn't talk about deeper issues. Now it's just an initial contact. , I have to watch it again.
But he also showed great enthusiasm, directly pulling hundreds of millions of money over.At the same time, the treasury was opened. The treasury is full of treasures, which are accumulated by many wealthy families for tens of hundreds of years, which is quite spectacular.Dozens of carts were also loaded, and Zhen's took it back to sell for grain, and to grow grain.
At the same time, Wang Yan also asked Zhen's caravan to go west to find cotton.
So mighty, hundreds of carriages and a thousand soldiers under the command of the general, went south.
Wang Yan didn't pay any attention to it. At this time, the cars are too far away and the roads are long and difficult to travel. The journey of trade, thousands of miles, cannot be completed without three months.As for the operation of buying officials, it would be good to have results before the beginning of spring.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhen has foresight and foresight, and she came earlier when she knew that the general is a hero.In this way, one and a half months to go back, half a month to raise food, and another one and a half months to come, the danger of running out of food will be resolved.
Production still matters now, and always will.Needless to say, the status of craftsmen under the general's command is quite respected, and the atmosphere of invention and creation must be highlighted.
Needless to say, craftsmen are still producing in winter. Even if people do not go out because they have no clothes to keep out the cold, they still work at home as much as they can. The production tools for the coming year are the most important thing, followed by armour, all of which can be produced at home. , polishing all kinds of wooden products, sharp arrows, weapons, making crossbows and bows, all of which have not stopped.
Civil officials run around every day to check the situation of the people in charge, count production materials, and assign production tasks. 27 people, like a huge machine, running endlessly.
The action of firing glass has not stopped, but now it is no longer produced for the general, because it is not easy to make large areas, but it is no problem for small areas. Although there are only a few kilns and the production is slow, they are always making bright glass for the common people. windows.
When building a house, these problems were taken into consideration, and space for windows was reserved.Apprentice carpenters make windows, and iron smelters cast rivets. If they are installed in a house, they will send nails to the house, and they will grind with stones.
The general was very scheming, and first found a few places to install in various places, so that people have hope and hope.Otherwise, two meals of porridge during a solar eclipse will hang your life, and it will be easily ruined.
At the same time, the brick kiln did not stop working. Before the freezing, a large army was sent to dig up a mountain of soil. When the brick kiln was built, winter production was also considered. Although the efficiency was not high, there was always output.Turning around, the boss's place was piled up, preparing to build all the houses after the spring, and all the families will be allocated houses.
In fact, when the house was almost unfinished, many young men under his command would definitely get married when they had a house.Even if he didn't want to tie the knot, Wang Yan would have to force it with a big stick, and population was the most important thing.Otherwise, no matter how much fertile land he has laid down, what's the use if he can't actually take possession of it.
For the survival of the baby and the survival of the woman, he set the age for marriage and childbirth to eighteen, and must abide by the law.At the same time, he also recruited many women who gave birth to children to train them, specially for women and children.In order to train these people, the general was heartbroken. He personally led the team, delivered women, and gave lectures on the spot.The defense of men and women has nothing to do with doctors, and it has nothing to do with him, General Wang.After delivering the baby, I also named the baby by the way...
So next year we will get married and separate, and the Wuhuan people who will be gathered later will join us, as well as the reconstruction of the old dilapidated houses now, and all these things will be built...
As for the battle with Wuhuan, Liao Hua led [-] cavalry to attack and harass, and the scouts came to report, and the soldiers did not dare to come out when they approached the city or other settlements.So Liao Hua led the army deep into Xuantu County and Liaodong County. At such a distance, Wang Yan could not receive military news.
However, the general was not worried. The four thousand cavalry were a strong force no matter where they were.If Wang Yan is asked to lead four thousand cavalry, they will travel across the world, and there will be no disadvantages.Although Liao Hua is far away from him, he can be regarded as the true biography of a great general and knows the way of guerrilla warfare.He also specially instructed that if you can't harvest in Xuantu and Liaodong, you can go to Wuhuan, Fuyu, or even Goguryeo to eat outside the region. These are all future enemies, and it is always right to strike first.
Liao Hua's mission was to burn, kill and loot, and Wang Yan didn't care about the rest.Wang Yan is also not clear about how the so-called generals are not granted the orders of the emperor outside, and how they are killed outside.
Of course, in fact, he is very clear that Lao Yinbi has a big heart and a big pattern, but he has to keep a small book.It is stupid to give all the trust to others, hoping for their integrity and character.
Internal supervision, this is the traditional art of General Wang. When the situation stabilizes and the market under the rule is opened, Jin Yiwei should be established.Generals and officials, with a comfortable life and abundant material, must be active in thinking and must be supervised.
In this regard, General Wang has always ruled with an iron fist. If you don't want to live a good life, then don't live it.Of course, there are priorities, and crimes are also divided into seriousness, if you can't kill everything, that's outrageous.
There is only one central idea, you don't have to deal with it, you have to know...
Winter time, of course, passed quickly.The days are short and the nights are long, people eat less and have to work during the day, so they naturally go to bed early.Even if you want to go to bed late, there is no entertainment except making people, not to mention that there is no candle lighting, and each house is dark.Now Wang Yan uses oil lamps, that is, animal fat for lighting, and the guards often add oil.
Therefore, in addition to creating humans, it is also creating humans, and governing women's widespread pregnancy.Because the general had already explained that pregnant women should eat more, not only more rice, but also occasionally some meat and eggs, as well as the sergeant's fishing catch, pregnant women can also share one, and stew a soup to supplement nutrition.
It's okay to give birth if nothing happens, not to mention the preferential treatment given by the general, whoever doesn't give birth, who can't take advantage of this, can it work?Therefore, the number of pregnant women reported by the civil officials has increased wildly, and food consumption has increased significantly.
It was at this time that caravans from the south gathered, and they came here with tens of thousands of horse-drawn carts carrying grain, planting grain, and other supplies.
Wang Yan sent someone to inquire, and the team was very luxurious.In addition to the Wuji Zhen family, the Yuan family in Runan, the Yang family in Hongnong, the Xun family in Yingchuan, the Chen family in Yingchuan, the Sima family in Hanoi, the Mi family in Donghai, the Cao family in Qiaoxian County, and the Chen Liuwei family, etc. In place, apart from the old Cao's family and the Wei family who helped Cao Cao get started, they are basically big family, the top predators in the late Han Dynasty.There are even Shandong Kongs who come to sell grain.
It is normal to think that these big families have the most land, they are the largest food suppliers, and the granary is really full.Now General Wang collects grain at a high price to drive it away with profit, and the grain in their hands is moldy, so they have to waste their granaries and make more money.
On the other hand, now that the Yellow Turban has been broken, the biggest rebel is Wang Yan.Moreover, Wang Yan also asked the Zhen family to bring hundreds of millions of money to buy an official, which is now known to all.They also wanted to take this opportunity to come over and find out what Wang Yan was up to.
Of course, the Zhen family could not wait until the money was in place before buying an official in Luoyang. Instead, they sent a fast horse back to report. know.
Wang Yan didn't go to see them, the ones who came were not heavyweights, they were all offshoots and concubines, not as sincere as the Zhen family.It's normal to think that the Zhen family is in decline, but the family is thriving.
Only the treasury sold money and treasures, and sold a batch of glass products at a high price. Anyway, it was much more expensive than food, and it was worth the food money, and they were all sent away...
Thank you (netizen surnamed Wang) for rewarding 500 coins for continued support.
Daily thanks to the good brothers who voted for monthly votes for their support,
Thank you for the support of the brothers who voted and recommended,
Thanks for the support of the big brothers who read silently.
On the snow without horseshoes, a group of more than [-] horses galloped wildly, looking north.
In this line, more than a dozen army soldiers opened the way ahead, and a cavalry front line was naturally arranged.He was wearing light armor with thick fur clothes inside, a fur hat, gloves, and even silk cloth around his face. Only his eyes were exposed, and his eyelashes were covered with frost.
Of the ten or so riders following behind, only two or three of them were equipped better than the knights in front, and they were equipped with brocade hats and mink fur.Even though the knights behind were wearing thick clothes that could keep them warm, they were no match for the brocade cap and ermine fur, and even less than the fur clothes of the knights in front.
The identities of these twenty riders are self-evident.
The ten or so riders in front must be soldiers under the command of the governor, and the ten or so riders in the rear, wearing brocade hats and sable furs, are the principals of Zhen's trip, and the knights behind are servants of Zhen's family soldiers, and they are going to Tuhe to see the general .
Zhen Sheng, the direct line of the side branch of the Zhen family, that is, the son of the side branch's mistress, is the person in charge of this trip to Liaodong.
They came here in a group of five hundred, driving hundreds of horse-drawn carriages. They arrived in Desuizhong yesterday morning, and received a reply from the general in the middle of the night. After an hour and a half, I used the morning food and set off for Tuhe.
This is because Suizhong is two hundred miles away from the Tuhe River, and if the people of the Zhen family travel two hundred miles a day, they may not be able to support it.But the general has an order saying 'see you tomorrow', so you must get it.The soldiers and civilian officials in the front don't care about Zhen's family. The general said that they will be there, so they drove all night without much rest.If not, it would take four days for a normal person to travel from Suizhong to Tuhe, even on horseback.Only cavalry who are skilled in bow and horse can run to death.
However, the rich people of this era have all practiced it, and wearing a sword on their waist is not a decoration.Although Zhen Cheng didn't practice so hard, he could barely hold on. He watched the scene along the way.
The roadside is full of green brick houses, with green smoke wafting from the chimneys.Occasionally, a child in unlined clothing ran out of the house to play in the snow, and was brutally beaten by the woman, who then closed the door.On the mountain to the west, although the distance is very far away, many densely packed small figures can still be seen, and there is even a sound of falling trees coming from a distance.
He had already seen it in Suizhong yesterday, and he even lived in a brick house and sat on a kang.Bricks are not rare, but kangs are rare, and it is even more rare to build such brick houses for the common people.It is not uncommon to cut down mountains. It is not uncommon for the army to cut down mountains on a large scale just to chop firewood for the people to keep warm in winter.
Now everyone in the wealthy family knows that the Yellow Turban has produced a capable person, unlike Zhang Jiao and others who fought against trapped beasts in the Central Plains and ran to the Liaodong separatist regime with a clear mind.Although the political views of Wang Yan and Liu Bei have been widely disseminated, no one believes them.
Now that he came to the territory of Liaodong, Zhen Sheng found that Wang Yan didn't seem to be joking, and he really treated the people very well, so he became more and more curious.
It was with this kind of curiosity that Zhen Cheng and the others finally arrived at Tuhe when the sun was about to dark and they drove all the way like lightning.
Compared with other cities where the city is located, Tuhe City is cleaner, and the snow on the road is also cleaned.What remains unchanged is that there is light smoke floating over the entire Tuhe River, and the city is filled with the smell of rice fragrance.
Without time to rest, Zhen Sheng followed the others to Chengxi Shuyuan.After being informed by the personal guards, Zhen Sheng entered with the general's personal guards alone.As soon as I entered the door, I felt the heat wave blowing against my face, the room was very bright, there were many candles, and as far as I could see, there were huge wooden frames with bamboo slips all over them.Walking with the guards, to the inner south window, finally saw the owner of this place.
Zhen Cheng looked, but saw an elegant man, sitting cross-legged on the mat, with a handsome face and a resolute appearance, with long hair standing up loosely, with green jade hairpins inserted, wearing a plain white brocade singlet, open collar, and rolled arms , it can be seen that its stature is strong.He is lazy and casual, careless, and looks like a master of Taoism.However, his deep eyes seem to see through people's hearts at a glance.It gives people a sense of being close to nature, but also has an invisible coercion, which makes people trust and fear.
He was a real hero, but before he could speak, Zhen Sheng felt uneasy.
"General, someone from the Zhen family will bring you here." The guard clasped his hands.
"You're sick again, I'm not blind, I can see." Wang Yan laughed and scolded the young guard who was playing for him, and waved his hands, "Let's pass on the food and wine."
The personal guard took the order and left, seeing Wang Yan's gaze on him, Zhen Cheng hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "Wuji Zhencheng, I pay my respects to General Tianwu."
Wang Yan still sat cross-legged on the table, and waved his hands with a smile: "The noble family of the Zhen family, I am deeply grateful for the Zhen family's love for me to come here to do business in this icy and snowy time. No need to be too polite, just sit down."
There are no high tables or benches here, but low tables where he sits on his knees.Because he often held meetings and classes with his subordinates, there are many seats on the left and right.
Zhen Sheng bowed his hands to thank him, and sat down on his knees, his body was upright and very standard.
Wang Yan asked with a smile, "I don't know what your sign is?"
"Back to the general, my name is Meng Guang, which is from the Zhen family. It is specialized in family business and business affairs. I heard that the general established a business in Liaodong. It is expected that the general must be short of grain and rice. I am here to bring two thousand stones of grain, hemp, silk, Three thousand pieces of silk and satin, come and trade with the general."
What Zhen Sheng said was very straightforward. In the entire Han Dynasty, except for the Han Court, Wang Yan is the richest.He started from Zhuojun and grew stronger all the way. He wiped out Wubao, a wealthy family, and destroyed more than [-] cities. At least half of the wealth in Yuyang County, half of the wealth in Youbeiping County, and almost all the wealth in Liaoxi County.
It's true, when it comes to money and treasures, Wang Yan has plenty, and there are two East China Sea night pearls on his table.There are countless silks and hundreds of millions of copper coins.There are also hundreds of tons of bronze cast statues.At this time, there are countless horseshoe gold cakes, silver nuggets, precious medicinal materials, animal skins and tiger bones, etc.The wealth accumulated by the wealthy family for hundreds of years is in his hands alone, so how could there not be much.
It's just that everyone knows that money alone is useless, and treasures of money are just equivalents, they can't be eaten as food, and they have to be spent in exchange for things.
Wang Yan was noncommittal, and asked clearly: "Meng Guang is not sincere, he only trades goods, not to help me achieve great things, and to rejuvenate your Wuji Zhen family?"
Zhen Cheng froze for a moment, thought for a moment, Fang nodded and said: "What the general said is very true, my Zhen family really has this intention.
Now the Han Dynasty is weak, the emperor's prestige is not obvious, and the ten permanent servants control the government, which is harmful to the people's government.I heard that the current health is not good, and it may not be long. The prince is young and has not heard of a good name. At that time, he may not be able to come to the court, and there will be disasters, and the Han Dynasty will not last long. Within 20 years, there will be chaos, the princes will rise in chaos, and the heroes will compete for the throne.
Since the general said that the Zhen family will be revived, he must know that my Zhen family is in decline, and I only manage and maintain the business.It is difficult to do this for a long time, but it is fish ears.Although the Zhen family wanted to find a way to rejuvenate, they did not dare to move lightly.The life of the whole family is related, so I dare not ignore it.
The general was born in the head of Guizhou and started from Zhuojun. He passed all the way and killed the generals, destroyed the castles and fortresses, recruited the people, compiled and trained a strong army, and the soldiers were trapped. Wuhuan, as this foundation.With 20 soldiers and [-] people in charge, the general is really a hero, and he is very respectful.
However, although the general has defeated [-] people in Wuhuan, he is facing a cold and bitter winter.From my point of view with Suizhong, the general treats the people very well, but there is no production inside and no income outside, and the food and fodder may not be able to support it.Eastern Liaodong is bitterly cold, with roads blocked by heavy snow, and even with caravans coming and going, it is difficult to maintain consumption.
And when winter turns to spring, when the ice disappears and the snow melts, Liu Youzhou will raise an army to attack.At that time, the north and the south were attacking, how would the general deal with it? "
It can be seen that the Han Dynasty is about to fall, which is normal for a wealthy family with many information channels.After all, they all know how the Han Dynasty fell.No one would be naive and just blame the emperor for his extravagance, the Shichang servants who disrupted the country, the disputes between the party and the party, and the chaos of the Yellow Turban.But what they said must be the reason, and it is impossible to admit their mistakes.
After all, what's wrong with them growing their family?
Just as Wang Yan was about to answer, his personal guards came in with a bowl of rice. The snow fell in the past two days, and the General had a whim, so he ate boiled mutton.It’s just that there are not many seasonings now, and the dipping sauce is not very good. I only added a little soy sauce, chives, minced garlic, and a little spice powder, but fortunately, the mutton is good and the taste is excellent, which is offset.
Mutton has been eaten for a long time, and rich people mainly ate mutton at this time.As for garlic, spices, etc., most of them were brought back by Zhang Qian from the Western Regions, and some of them came from the south.
Hot pot has existed for a long time. It is nothing more than that people used to cook large pieces of meat, but now they cook small pieces of meat. There is nothing unusual about it.
The wine he drank was from the wealthy family, and it was all decent pure grain wine, which had to be sifted before drinking.Under the rule of the general, drinking alcohol was prohibited, and only occasionally rewarded two altars to his subordinates, just to taste the taste. Now there is a severe shortage of food, and there is no spare energy to make wine.
In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, alcohol prohibition has always been enforced.There are floods, severe droughts, and migratory locusts. There is not enough food for people, so where can they still drink.But this is of little use to the wealthy family.When the time comes, people should eat and drink.
Wang Yan plans to make some fruit wine in the coming year, such as plums, pomegranates, grapes, etc., as drinks...
After chatting with Zhen Cheng about food, eating a few mouthfuls of meat, and drinking a few glasses of wine, the general followed up with Zhen Cheng's question.
"Just now, you said how I should deal with it, so as to deal with the enemies in the midwinter and the coming year. I thought that wealth can be a god. Liaodong is covered with snow and ice, and the road is difficult. I will promise you a lot of money. The merchant's family will bring food here. .I don’t know what the current food price is?”
"Three hundred qian for millet, wheat, and millet, and five hundred for beans. This is the price of grain in Guanzhong. A land with a lot of grain is cheap, but a land with little grain is very expensive. The general commanding the army, you should know that the grain transport team eats horses and chews. Too much wear and tear. When I left home, I took three thousand shi of grain with me, so far it was only over two thousand shi. I kept it for the return journey, and there were only two thousand shi left.
And Zhang Jiao is dead, and although the Yellow Turban is broken, the rest of the army is still a disaster everywhere.On the road to Liaodong, there are many bandits and bandits. If you are negligent, you will lose your life. It is not easy to transport a lot of food.Even if I make an agreement with the general, it will be a loss if it reaches six hundred dollars. "
The price of food is not cheap anymore. In these days, people only earn a stone of rice for a month of work. The whole family works, and they can almost survive without eating enough.But this is already the next hundred years when food prices will be the cheapest.In the future, natural disasters and man-made disasters will occur one after another, and food prices will rise to the sky.
Wang Yan smiled and nodded: "Now I'm with Qianqian, or even Qianqianbai, are you willing to transport food again?"
"If this is the case, Sheng will definitely come here. However, my Zhen family wants to be suitable for the general, so there is no need to pay a high price here, as long as it is not damaged."
"Your family and surname, how can you provide food for my 30 soldiers and civilians? You must spread the word, and the big merchants will gather in our Liao land." The general smiled and drank, very confident, put down the wine bottle, and pointed with his fingers Transparent large glass windows, "How do you see this?"
"Excellent. This thing is clear and bright. It can shine in the sun during the day without opening the window. You can enjoy the winter scenery in the conservatory. When Fang came, Sheng wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask for a moment. I would like to ask the general. What is it?"
For the pursuit of enjoyment, the general has never been hardworking.After working in Liaodong for more than a month, two large pieces of glass were produced, and the craftsmen were ordered to clamp them together to form such a floor-to-ceiling window.
Without this, the feeling of winter is not good, because the rich people use silk for the windows now, and the poor use various things to fill them, and there is no window paper.Stay indoors with little light.The Han and Tang Dynasties were strong and prosperous, but the common people were very difficult.
Next year, we will burn glass vigorously, and strive to let the people under the rule have the freedom to see the light in winter.And with glass light, less dry firewood can be burned during the day.
These are all basic life inventions. He has already told his craftsmen and farmers that they must think more, study more, and create more...
The general said with a smile: "The white colored glaze that I named was made by a skilled craftsman. In addition to being used as a bright window, I also made colored glaze cups, glazed bowls, colored glaze statues, etc. The thing on the shelf is, you And watch it."
Following what the general pointed out, Zhen Cheng looked at a wooden shelf not far away, cupped his hands in apology, and went over to play with various things, as if looking at some treasure.
The general smiled and drank and ate meat. As for why he used a wine bottle instead of a glass, the wine bottle was naturally fresher. The glass glass had a fart, but the bronze wine bottle felt better.
After a while, Zhen Cheng knelt down again at the table, cupped his hands and said, "General, what is the price of this thing?"
"What do you think is the price?"
"Humanity is that rare things are the most precious. Naturally, the more difficult this thing is to make, the more expensive it is. If there are only a few dozen in this world, it should be a priceless treasure."
A cultured person is not straightforward when speaking.Wang Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "Next year, all the houses under my administration will have this window. If Ru Zhen is bold and not afraid of threats from others, this thing will be a priceless treasure before the spring."
Zhen Cheng laughed awkwardly, he really didn't have the courage.This year it will be priceless, and next year it will become cabbage. The wealthy clan will be angry and attack in groups. The Zhen family is already having a hard time, isn't that the end of the game?
"What the general said is reasonable, but my Zhen family is not prosperous, so I definitely can't do such things."
"Since that's the case, when you leave, you'll sell them all to pay for the grain and cloth you transported this time. What do you think?"
"But according to the general's words." Zhen Sheng cupped his hands, and approved the price of using dozens of broken glass to make things, in exchange for two thousand stones of grain, and three thousand bolts of various cloths.
In fact, those are not pure glass, but colored glass, but not colored glass, which is very bluffing.
This is Wang Yan's unwillingness to let the people under his rule wait for a long time, so they can enjoy it as soon as the glass is installed.Otherwise, with a glass, you can easily cut the leeks of the wealthy family for several years.It will not work in the future. When the world is in chaos, money is useless, and food and materials are king.At that time, it was hard to find someone who was taken advantage of.
"When you come back to Wuji, you should spread the word that you are invited to bring food from the wealthy merchants here. In this way, there will be no worries this winter." Wang Yan turned to ask, "You said that since Zhang Jiao died and the Yellow Turban was broken, I don't know the current situation. how?"
"When I came here, I heard that Zhang Jiao died of illness, Zhang Liang occupied Guangzong, Zhang Bao rebelled against the giant deer, and Hou Huangfusong of Duxiang sent troops to attack Guangzong again. At this time, the victory may have been decided, and Zhang Liang is dead."
Nodding his head, Wang Yan asked again: "Does the Ru Zhen family have connections to communicate with the ten permanent attendants?"
Zhen Cheng was stunned for a moment: "The general wants to buy an official?"
"Yes. I want to seek the position of Liaodong prefect. I am afraid that I will not be filial and honest. I am not in compliance with the regulations. The Emperor of Han will not grant it. If the purchase of an official fails, I can also make money to contact the ten permanent servants. If Liu Yan wants to raise an army, he must discuss it with the court. Fang Xing. How can Liu Yan raise an army to attack when the ten servants stand in the way?"
Big men have their own old tradition of selling officials and nobles. Old Cao's father, Cao Song, spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the position of Taiwei. That's the three princes...
Rebellion is about actions, not words, and there is no need to set up a flag of rebellion as a target.He wants peace and development, and wars will come later.So if you can have a serious name, that is very good.
Being a thief and being a rebel are two different things.He was in the local area, with 800 people, and gathered in the mountains and forests. According to the conduct of the officials of the Han emperor, it is estimated that they would not want to talk to him.However, there are still so many people raising the flag to rebel, which has touched the sensitive nerves of the court princes. There is a high probability that troops will be sent to suppress the rebellion, and it will definitely take a few rounds.But he has no intention of going south in the short term. This kind of battle consumes food and grass, which is meaningless. It is better to make money.
Besides, it is useless for him to ask for money. When the food and grass supplies are abundant, he will print and distribute banknotes, and control the economic initiative by himself, which is more convenient to regulate the economy, which is much better than copper coins, silk, gold and silver.The big families in the province hoard money and don't spend it. The banknotes are a pile of waste paper, so they hoard them hard.
There is another advantage to him being named the prefect of Liaodong, that is, he has a good name and is not a traitor. Angel investors will be more liberal.Whatever they think, I'm afraid they can't imagine that General Wang is not strong anymore, and he spends money to buy peace...
Zhen Cheng pondered for a moment: "With the general's affection, I will be able to buy an official. If I don't grant it, I will send troops to attack, and the loss will be too much. It is not as good as a unified name. Besides, there are many barbarians in Liaodong. The general is here to fight against the barbarians. I'm happy to see it. The general took the initiative to buy officials, and he spent a lot of money. Why don't you wait for the coming spring to win for a while, and the money will be less."
"Money is not as valuable as the lives of soldiers and civilians." The general waved his hands and said, "I heard that Cao Song used hundreds of millions of money to seek the position of Taiwei. Now I and you have billions of dollars to seek the position of Liaodong Taishou and Tianwu Great General. How dare you accept it?" ?”
"The general believes in my Zhen family so much?"
"But believe in the sword in my hand, the army under my command, and the people under my command."
Zhen Cheng was silent for a while, got up and left the table, faced the general, bowed his hands and said: "The Zhen family will live up to the general's expectations."
"No courtesy, no courtesy, Meng Guang doesn't have to be so polite. Ru Wuji Zhen knows how to adapt, and understands the general situation. I am very relieved to come to Liaodong to make a marriage. Today, I have a banquet, and tomorrow I will enter my treasury. I will not let you go for nothing. Run away. On the way back, I will send a thousand soldiers and horses to escort the money and send you home."
"Thank you General."
"Let's go to the table. It's cold and cold. It's best to drink wine and boiled meat. It's delicious. You should eat more and drink more." The general greeted the first adventurer who invested, and didn't talk about deeper issues. Now it's just an initial contact. , I have to watch it again.
But he also showed great enthusiasm, directly pulling hundreds of millions of money over.At the same time, the treasury was opened. The treasury is full of treasures, which are accumulated by many wealthy families for tens of hundreds of years, which is quite spectacular.Dozens of carts were also loaded, and Zhen's took it back to sell for grain, and to grow grain.
At the same time, Wang Yan also asked Zhen's caravan to go west to find cotton.
So mighty, hundreds of carriages and a thousand soldiers under the command of the general, went south.
Wang Yan didn't pay any attention to it. At this time, the cars are too far away and the roads are long and difficult to travel. The journey of trade, thousands of miles, cannot be completed without three months.As for the operation of buying officials, it would be good to have results before the beginning of spring.
Fortunately, Mrs. Zhen has foresight and foresight, and she came earlier when she knew that the general is a hero.In this way, one and a half months to go back, half a month to raise food, and another one and a half months to come, the danger of running out of food will be resolved.
Production still matters now, and always will.Needless to say, the status of craftsmen under the general's command is quite respected, and the atmosphere of invention and creation must be highlighted.
Needless to say, craftsmen are still producing in winter. Even if people do not go out because they have no clothes to keep out the cold, they still work at home as much as they can. The production tools for the coming year are the most important thing, followed by armour, all of which can be produced at home. , polishing all kinds of wooden products, sharp arrows, weapons, making crossbows and bows, all of which have not stopped.
Civil officials run around every day to check the situation of the people in charge, count production materials, and assign production tasks. 27 people, like a huge machine, running endlessly.
The action of firing glass has not stopped, but now it is no longer produced for the general, because it is not easy to make large areas, but it is no problem for small areas. Although there are only a few kilns and the production is slow, they are always making bright glass for the common people. windows.
When building a house, these problems were taken into consideration, and space for windows was reserved.Apprentice carpenters make windows, and iron smelters cast rivets. If they are installed in a house, they will send nails to the house, and they will grind with stones.
The general was very scheming, and first found a few places to install in various places, so that people have hope and hope.Otherwise, two meals of porridge during a solar eclipse will hang your life, and it will be easily ruined.
At the same time, the brick kiln did not stop working. Before the freezing, a large army was sent to dig up a mountain of soil. When the brick kiln was built, winter production was also considered. Although the efficiency was not high, there was always output.Turning around, the boss's place was piled up, preparing to build all the houses after the spring, and all the families will be allocated houses.
In fact, when the house was almost unfinished, many young men under his command would definitely get married when they had a house.Even if he didn't want to tie the knot, Wang Yan would have to force it with a big stick, and population was the most important thing.Otherwise, no matter how much fertile land he has laid down, what's the use if he can't actually take possession of it.
For the survival of the baby and the survival of the woman, he set the age for marriage and childbirth to eighteen, and must abide by the law.At the same time, he also recruited many women who gave birth to children to train them, specially for women and children.In order to train these people, the general was heartbroken. He personally led the team, delivered women, and gave lectures on the spot.The defense of men and women has nothing to do with doctors, and it has nothing to do with him, General Wang.After delivering the baby, I also named the baby by the way...
So next year we will get married and separate, and the Wuhuan people who will be gathered later will join us, as well as the reconstruction of the old dilapidated houses now, and all these things will be built...
As for the battle with Wuhuan, Liao Hua led [-] cavalry to attack and harass, and the scouts came to report, and the soldiers did not dare to come out when they approached the city or other settlements.So Liao Hua led the army deep into Xuantu County and Liaodong County. At such a distance, Wang Yan could not receive military news.
However, the general was not worried. The four thousand cavalry were a strong force no matter where they were.If Wang Yan is asked to lead four thousand cavalry, they will travel across the world, and there will be no disadvantages.Although Liao Hua is far away from him, he can be regarded as the true biography of a great general and knows the way of guerrilla warfare.He also specially instructed that if you can't harvest in Xuantu and Liaodong, you can go to Wuhuan, Fuyu, or even Goguryeo to eat outside the region. These are all future enemies, and it is always right to strike first.
Liao Hua's mission was to burn, kill and loot, and Wang Yan didn't care about the rest.Wang Yan is also not clear about how the so-called generals are not granted the orders of the emperor outside, and how they are killed outside.
Of course, in fact, he is very clear that Lao Yinbi has a big heart and a big pattern, but he has to keep a small book.It is stupid to give all the trust to others, hoping for their integrity and character.
Internal supervision, this is the traditional art of General Wang. When the situation stabilizes and the market under the rule is opened, Jin Yiwei should be established.Generals and officials, with a comfortable life and abundant material, must be active in thinking and must be supervised.
In this regard, General Wang has always ruled with an iron fist. If you don't want to live a good life, then don't live it.Of course, there are priorities, and crimes are also divided into seriousness, if you can't kill everything, that's outrageous.
There is only one central idea, you don't have to deal with it, you have to know...
Winter time, of course, passed quickly.The days are short and the nights are long, people eat less and have to work during the day, so they naturally go to bed early.Even if you want to go to bed late, there is no entertainment except making people, not to mention that there is no candle lighting, and each house is dark.Now Wang Yan uses oil lamps, that is, animal fat for lighting, and the guards often add oil.
Therefore, in addition to creating humans, it is also creating humans, and governing women's widespread pregnancy.Because the general had already explained that pregnant women should eat more, not only more rice, but also occasionally some meat and eggs, as well as the sergeant's fishing catch, pregnant women can also share one, and stew a soup to supplement nutrition.
It's okay to give birth if nothing happens, not to mention the preferential treatment given by the general, whoever doesn't give birth, who can't take advantage of this, can it work?Therefore, the number of pregnant women reported by the civil officials has increased wildly, and food consumption has increased significantly.
It was at this time that caravans from the south gathered, and they came here with tens of thousands of horse-drawn carts carrying grain, planting grain, and other supplies.
Wang Yan sent someone to inquire, and the team was very luxurious.In addition to the Wuji Zhen family, the Yuan family in Runan, the Yang family in Hongnong, the Xun family in Yingchuan, the Chen family in Yingchuan, the Sima family in Hanoi, the Mi family in Donghai, the Cao family in Qiaoxian County, and the Chen Liuwei family, etc. In place, apart from the old Cao's family and the Wei family who helped Cao Cao get started, they are basically big family, the top predators in the late Han Dynasty.There are even Shandong Kongs who come to sell grain.
It is normal to think that these big families have the most land, they are the largest food suppliers, and the granary is really full.Now General Wang collects grain at a high price to drive it away with profit, and the grain in their hands is moldy, so they have to waste their granaries and make more money.
On the other hand, now that the Yellow Turban has been broken, the biggest rebel is Wang Yan.Moreover, Wang Yan also asked the Zhen family to bring hundreds of millions of money to buy an official, which is now known to all.They also wanted to take this opportunity to come over and find out what Wang Yan was up to.
Of course, the Zhen family could not wait until the money was in place before buying an official in Luoyang. Instead, they sent a fast horse back to report. know.
Wang Yan didn't go to see them, the ones who came were not heavyweights, they were all offshoots and concubines, not as sincere as the Zhen family.It's normal to think that the Zhen family is in decline, but the family is thriving.
Only the treasury sold money and treasures, and sold a batch of glass products at a high price. Anyway, it was much more expensive than food, and it was worth the food money, and they were all sent away...
