My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 398 In the Joke Talk of Huangtu Baye, Sun Ce Plans
The Han court.

Wei Min hurriedly felt the imperial garden, but it was all in vain.

"Where is Mr. Wei?" Wei Min asked the female guard beside him angrily.

The female guard also had a look of helplessness, and replied cautiously: "Mr. Wei has gone to Dongshan to play."

Wei Min frowned, pointed at the female guard, but couldn't say anything, he couldn't blame the female guard for not keeping her.

"It seems that Yan'er and the others must be picked up as soon as possible. It's really hard for this kid to have no one to take care of him."

Wei Min sighed, waved his hand and left.

Several female guards looked at each other, and when Wei Min walked away, they all covered their mouths and laughed.

The leading female guard said angrily, "You still dare to laugh?"

A female guard said: "My sister has learned a lot in lying. Later, Mr. Wei should reward you again. I am really envious."

The rest of the people nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Mr. Wei is generous, not to mention, it is the vanity mirror, it is said that the outer side costs several thousand coins."

"If those princes and nobles marry wives and daughters, which ones don't try their best to buy a mirror. Thousands of coins are nothing. If they find the right buyer, even tens of thousands of coins will be willing to pay."

"Hey, it's tens of thousands of coins. When my father sold me to someone else, he only got 160 coins. Not even a sheep..."

"Pfft, you girl, now your monthly tribute is more than this price, why do you want to do those things, do things for Madam Jun, Madam Jun will naturally not treat us badly."

···
Lu Mansion in the city.

Wei Cheng didn't go to Dongshan for a tour, but went to Lu Bu's house to have a drink and laugh.

The reason why the female guard tricked Wei Min that he left the city was because he didn't want Wei Min to find him in person and drag him to deal with a lot of affairs.

"Hahaha, Mr. Wei is in a good mood today."

In the back yard, Wei Cheng and Lu Ling were fiddling with a copper barbecue grill, when they turned around and saw Lu Bu walking towards them with a smile.

Wei Cheng looked at Lu Ling, who wrinkled his heroic eyes and shook his head, expressing that he didn't tell his father.

Wei Cheng knew that the mansion must have sent the notice.

It's nothing to think about, stood up and said with a smile: "Didn't Zongbing Lu go to the banquet, why did he come back so soon?"

Lu Bu walked closer, glanced at his precious daughter, and felt very relieved.

Then he said: "It's also a coincidence, that just ended, and we heard that Mr. Wei came to the humble house, so we rushed here."

"Wait?"

Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, and three or four people ran in from outside the round hole.

Ok.

Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Hua Chuan, Zhang Liao, who were invited to the Yuan family, all came.

A few people first bowed to Wei Cheng, and then said in a strange way: "Mr. Lu's red rabbit horse is indeed the No. 1 horse in the world. It runs three points faster than others."

Lu Bu chuckled and didn't care, instead he said to Wei Cheng: "Wei Jun, I just want to ask you something, I wonder if I can add a pair of chopsticks?" Lu Bu didn't dare to ask his daughter, he was a daughter slave, for fear that she would get angry.

Wei Cheng didn't care, but Lu Ling stomped her feet in anger, obviously very displeased, she was finally able to be alone with Wei Cheng, but her own father brought a group of people in to make trouble, what's the matter?

Wei Cheng looked at the crowd, and was also curious about what they were going to talk about at Yuan's, so he comforted Lu Ling, and then let Lu Ling obediently help them barbecue.

Lu Bu looked at his daughter's back in surprise, then looked at Wei Cheng, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: a married daughter, the water that was thrown out, she is so obedient before she is married, what will happen in the future.

In the gazebo, everyone took their seats one by one, but there were not enough stone stools, so the silver carp and Zhang Liao sat on the railing.

Lu Bu and Xu Huang talked about Yuan's "conditions".

Wei Cheng frowned, Yuan's purpose for wanting so many captives, he understood it just by thinking about it, it was not complicated.

"What Jun Wei means is that the Yuan family still wants to focus on the hinterland of the Han?" Xu Huang said.

Wei Cheng nodded slightly, "That's right, the reason why the Yuan family wants to take so many prisoners may be because they heard about it, or they have already interpreted our first five-year plan, and they also want to participate and get a share."

"You know, our basic base will ultimately be on the territory of the big man. No matter how many territories we lay outside, it will not be possible to develop it in a short while."

"Instead of spending a lot of manpower and material resources to develop new land, it is better to maximize the benefits of their original land. This point is admirable to the Yuan family. They want so many captives because they want to vigorously develop industry and agriculture."

"When they are strong enough, they will go to various places to buy land and buy people, and then continue to reproduce the previous operations, so that they can easily own a large amount of land and minerals without a single soldier."

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and the silver carp on the back said angrily: "Damn it, this Yuan Gonglu is easy to plan. Our people are fighting to death outside, and they are sitting and enjoying their success behind the scenes. How can there be such a beautiful place in this world?" matter."

Huang Zhong frowned, and said: "Actually, when you think about it carefully, this is not a secret, the rise of those aristocratic families, which one is not like this?

They funded the army to fight the war, and after the fight, they naturally needed people to manage it. At this time, they went to enclose the land to get people, and they paid back their capital in a few years. "

"After getting back the capital, I will go to subsidize it again and again... It really is a good plan." Xu Huang shook his head and sighed.

Wei Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "After every war, the ultimate beneficiaries are these aristocratic chaebols, because they have enough capital to operate, including, but not limited to wars."

"Then..." Everyone frowned and looked at Wei Cheng at the same time.

Wei Cheng chuckled, and said in relief: "What you need to worry about now is not this. The existence of aristocratic families is inevitable. Even if there is no Yuan family, Zhang family and Zhao family will appear. This kind of thing will not happen even after 2000. will not change."

Hua Yin frowned and said: "Wouldn't it be cheaper for Yuan Shi?"

Wei Cheng sneered, shook his head, and said, "It's hard to say who is cheaper. In front of the real state machine, all powerful families are paper tigers. You just need to remember one thing."

Everyone looked at each other.

Wei Cheng knocked on the table and said, "********"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and after looking at each other, they all burst into laughter.

Lu Bu nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "In this way, we should help Yuan Shi even more. Now I wish he would get fatter, so that killing would be lucrative, hahaha."

Wei Cheng smiled noncommittally, looked at Lu Ling who was poking his head aside, and said with a smile: "Ling'er, the flesh is burnt."

"Ah, oops!"

"Hahaha……"

Smelling the burnt smell from the barbecue, everyone laughed again, and they no longer had many concerns just now.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

When everyone was full of food and drink, Lu Bu ordered his servants to bring fragrant tea.

At this time, the sun was setting and the courtyard was full of scenes. As autumn was approaching, the evening breeze was already a bit cool.

The servants lit a few briquettes stoves, which landed on the four corners of the gazebo, and a few potatoes and sweet potatoes were still baked on them.

"What Jun Wei said just now, we have also made up our minds. This time helping Gongsun Zan, the Tiger Soul Army can get some benefits. Someone has already sent someone to contact Mr. Wei Suotian, Anyi, and asked someone to send someone to prepare to receive it." Lu Bu road.

Holding the teacup, Wei Cheng blew on the tea froth, and said, "It's a good thing that Mr. Lu entrusted the guard to the guard. They specialize in art, and the staff in the guard are all truly talented people. They are in charge of the operation. You You can rest assured that everything you get will be fed back to the Tiger Soul Army."

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard the words, "With Mr. Wei's words, Lu will feel at ease, and Lu will thank you for the brothers first." As he spoke, he got up and wanted to worship.

Wei Cheng grabbed him and said with a smile: "Thank you, you will be exempted. If you pay, you will be rewarded. I have always been rewarded and punished. I will let them calculate the income of the three mines and pastures in proportion." Among the military funds, there should be a lot of them, and General Lu can consider expanding the army, ha ha."

Lu Bu chuckled, and that's what he was waiting for. Five thousand Tiger Soul Army, after all, is a bit petty. If he wants to expand his army, he needs at least 3 or [-] people.

Xu Huang and Huang Zhong on the side looked at each other, both of them were excited.

Wei Cheng seemed to be aware of it, looked at the two of them, and said: "Longshan Army and Longxiwei are the same, and all the benefits you get can be handed over to the guard to operate, and the profits you get after deducting taxes and management fees will all belong to you." all."

"Then what about our city guards?" Hua Chuan asked excitedly.

Wei Cheng heard the words, looked at the silver carp, and said angrily: "You are stupid, the cost of the city guards is naturally deducted from the taxes of each city. You don't have to worry about this, Xu Ding and Tian Feng have already planned it for you. All right."

The Longshan Army, Tiger Soul Army, and Dragon Breath Guard are in charge of foreign affairs, while the City Guard Army and City Guard are in charge of internal affairs. This is a military strategy that was decided early on.

The silver carp opened its mouth, wanting to say that our city guards can also grab the territory, but hesitated for a while, and let it go, the job of the city guards is to protect the cities, if they all go out to fight, they will be stolen when they turn back What to do.

Although this kind of situation is almost impossible to happen now, if he is not afraid of [-], he is afraid of the eventuality. If it is because of his negligence that the thieves break into Luoyang or Anyi, then he, the chief of the city guards, will be done.

···
A restaurant somewhere in the city.

Wei Gong saw Sun Ce again, but compared to him three months ago, Sun Ce looked much more mature now.

The dishes on the table are not very rich, only a plate of boiled mutton is worth the money, and the wine is also the cheapest kind.

But this was already the most sumptuous meal Sun Ce could afford.

Wei Gong saw his current situation, sighed and said: "Bo Fu, why do you think you are doing this?"

Sun Ce gave a wry smile without making any excuses. After taking a sip of wine, he raised his head and said, "Brother Wei, can you introduce someone for me?"

Wei Gong glanced at the floating objects in the wine glass, and gave up the idea of ​​drinking. Hearing this, he asked curiously, "Who?"

Sun Ce swallowed his throat, and said a little embarrassedly: "Longxiwei, Huang Zhong."

Wei Gong frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Why, you want to get involved too?"

Wei Gong didn't say it too bluntly. Since Sun Jian's death, the original Polu army has almost collapsed. Even if Sun Ce can recall some old troops, I am afraid that there are not many. It is tantamount to wishful thinking that those people want to expand the territory.

However, Sun Ce also has his own plans.

"Brother Wei, I know this matter is very embarrassing for you, but you can rest assured that I only need one team, just Huang Xu's team, as long as you help me stabilize for two months after landing, we will I am willing to hand over my Sun family's property in Jiujiang."

"Ashore?" Wei Gong frowned slightly.

Sun Ce knew that he couldn't hide anymore, otherwise he might lose his last chance, nodded and said, "Yes, I have inquired about some information in secret these days, Cao Mengde's sword pointed at Wa Island, Liu Xuande went south to Jiaozhou, and Yuan's teamed up with Huangfu's family to go west. In the Qiang land, there are already Gongsun Zan and several aristocratic families attached to the Wei family in the north, and I can't get involved."

Emiya nodded, he was in charge of the intelligence work of the secret guards, so he naturally knew about it.

"In that case, where are you going?"

Sun Ce gritted his teeth, took out a rubbing copy of [Shan Hai Local Map] from his pocket, and said, "Brother Wei, look here."

Wei Gong poked his head to look, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "Is this Yizhou?"

Sun Ce nodded and said with a wry smile, "That's right, in this huge map of the world, a small Yizhou is like a grain of rice. They are all so talented and grand, so I don't like it at all, but I know my current strength well." , winning this Yizhou should not be a problem."

Wei Gong nodded involuntarily, and thought to himself: This Sun Ce is also a character, he managed to find a chance in the cracks.

"Yes, I can help you introduce Huang Zongbing, but, is there anyone in Yizhou who can't occupy it and wants Long Xiwei to come out?"

Sun Ce shook his head and said: "There is no strong army, just some aboriginals. The reason why the Dragon Breath Guards were called was mainly because of a deterrent effect. This is Gong Jin's suggestion to me, saying that it can better subdue the aboriginals. , After all, it is a rare labor.”

Wei Gong didn't go any further, and almost knew their plan. In that wild place, Longxiwei's artillery and Lei Zhenzi were no different from miracles. It was not too easy to subdue some natives who drank blood.

"Okay, don't worry, Sun Taishou has some connections with my Wei family, I will help if I can, and you will make a decision later..."

Halfway through Wei Gong's speech, he glanced at the food and wine on the table, then at the embarrassed Sun Ce, and said helplessly, "You can come to my house later, it will be tomorrow night, and I will invite Huang Zongbing to be there with you." , lobbying for you."

Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Then, I am very grateful to Brother Wei."

Wei Gong nodded indifferently, rubbed his stomach, he was a little hungry, but he was used to the food invented by Wei Cheng, and eating these...it was really hard to swallow, so he offered to leave.

Sun Ce personally delivered it to the door of the restaurant.

Not long after Wei Gong left, behind Sun Ce was a handsome young master Jia.

"Bo Fu, it seems that everything is going well."

Sun Ce looked back, exhaled, and said, "Gongjin, do we have to pretend to be poor?"

To be honest, he also swallowed that glass of wine just now, it was sour and astringent, making people sick to his stomach.

After all, Sun Ce was from a powerful family in Wu County, no matter how poor he was, he would not be so poor that he couldn't even afford to drink alcohol.

Zhou Yu walked out of the dark, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "If you don't do this, how can you make Uncle Wei Wen sympathize with you, okay, okay, I was wrong this time, go, go back and change to good wine, I will Punish yourself with three cups to make amends for you."

"That's not the case."

Sun Ce looked at the carriage going away, frowned and said, "Gongjin, do you really think that after taking Yizhou, we can take the south of Jiaozhou before Liu Xuande and the others?"

Zhou Yu nodded calmly, and assured him: "Just don't worry, it will take them at least a month to cross the mountains and ridges from Jingzhou, and they don't know how much supplies will be lost on the way. Thanks to our safe and quick passage by sea.”

Sun Ce clenched his fists unconsciously when he heard the words, and murmured: "Guan Yunchang, wait, revenge for killing your father will be avenged!"

The Sun family has the strongest navy, which is recognized by the Three Kingdoms.
