Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 376

The skin is forced out!
In Jizhou, Zhen Mi is known for her literary and elegant image, and Zhen Yao is a face-saving son. Unwelcome "poor relatives" came before Wang Hou again.

"Meet Zhou Mu!"

On the bustling pier of the port, the brothers and sisters Zhen and Wang Zhoumu who were taking a walk met again by chance.

Even if the gap is so big, the transshipment still has to be transshipped. Now it is close to the autumn harvest in August and September. Before the autumn grain is harvested on a large scale, the old grain currently owned by Qingzhou has begun to go to Qingzhou to lay the first one in the northeast through the assembled Qingzhou sailing boats. bridgehead.

The Island City Brigade of the Qingzhou Second Brigade also began to be sent on ships and dispatched to Dalian Corner to start Qingzhou's military operations in the Liaodong Peninsula.

This had just ended the farewell of the veteran Jiang Yiqu. Seeing the brother and sister smiling sweetly like diabetics, Wang Hou couldn't help but twitched slightly, and asked Zhen Yao in the first sentence, it was very embarrassing.

"Brother hasn't returned to Jizhou yet?"

Full of embarrassment, Zhen Yao seemed to be looking for an excuse to smooth things over, but this time Zhen Mi who was present took the lead first.

Although she hasn't been lucky enough to be favored by Wang Houlin yet, she has some understanding of Wang Hou's temperament and temperament. He doesn't like going around in the officialdom of aristocratic families. Unless there is no other way, he is willing to go straight to everything. If you say tie you, you will be tied, there are not so many twists and turns.

So don't be too narrow-minded when asking him for help, otherwise Wang Hou may bring you a bamboo basket to fetch water in vain.

"Master, the Zhen family is in dire straits in Jizhou now. The Yingchuan family who have just arrived in Yecheng all regard the Zhen family as fat sheep to be slaughtered. I have a shameless concubine. I also hope that the master will treat the concubine as a well-behaved servant. Take it!"

The circles of her eyes were red, this girl was already caught off guard by Zhen Yao, and she bowed down fiercely with her fists in her hands.

Soft-heartedness can be regarded as one of Wang Hou's faults, although only in front of beautiful women, seeing her so pitiful, and turning his head, Qi Zhonglang, who accompanied the inspection, turned Zhao Yun and the leader of the army Wang Congge with one head to the left and the other to the left. Right, suddenly admiring the beautiful scenery of the island city port, Wang Congge stopped the sour Zhuge Ying behind him, the corners of his mouth could not help twitching, Wang Hou said helplessly.

"Tomorrow there will be a group of merchants and sons of the gentry returning to Jizhou. I will take you to attend the farewell. In addition, I will help you write a book for Guo Fengxiao, and ask him to help speak good words for your Zhen family in front of the prime minister."

These days, showing affection can even involve politics!If Wang Hou and Zhen Mi were in harmony with each other, and were intimate in public places, then some people would have to reconsider their relationship with the Zhen family. After all, beating the Zhen family too badly was tantamount to dishonoring Wang Hou.

Many people have to weigh the price of forming a Liangzi with Qingzhou Mu, and Guo Jia's good words in front of Cao Cao can also slightly alleviate the current miserable situation of the Zhen family.

However, this is not enough help.

The two things Wang Hou promised were only to restore the decline of the Zhen family, so that the Zhen family would not be beaten to death with a stick and lose political influence. In less than ten years, the Zhen family would still have to degenerate into a second-rate family Even a third-rate family.

Although he doesn't know the Zhen family well, he personally exterminated several Hebei families under the orders of Mr. Cao. Wang Hou can roughly guess the situation of the Zhen family. Once the emperor and the courtiers, the big guys follow Mr. Cao to conquer the world for the sake of enjoying the blessings. No good, who will work hard for you?Moreover, the Hebei family was defeated, and it was reasonable to seize land and farms from them according to the concept at the time. If Wang Hou stood up for the Zhen family, it would be tantamount to offending the Yingchuan family who are now dividing up the land of the Zhen family.

If it was for Cao Hongjie, now it is also for Lu Ji, Zhuge Ying, Wang Hou would never turn back, but for Zhen Mi, it is not worth it!

Knowing that politics is a combination of exchange of interests, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and Zhen Yao bowed heavily while following aside.

"Zhou Mu, I heard that you are short of military rations!"

These words immediately made Wang Hou a little unhappy. The lack of military rations is a semi-open secret in Qingzhou. After all, there are many young and Xu businessmen present at the meeting. It is almost impossible to keep top secret, but even so, Zhen Mi should not Reveal it to Zhen Yao!Wang Hou, who had looked soft-hearted at Zhen Mi's red eye circles, stared at her slightly sharper, and Zhen Mi couldn't help shivering.

After warning Zhen Mi with his eyes, Wang Hou snorted again with a sneer.

"Could it be that brother Zhen can offer the 40 shi of military rations to Benzhou Mu? In that case, the Zhen family will not only do Qingzhou, but also the prime minister a great contribution!"

The Zhen family is not like Wang Hou's poor ghost, a stupid girl at the beginning, all equipment depends on fooling around!Five thousand shi was hard for him. When the Wuji Zhen family was in its heyday, there were no less than one million shi in the warehouse, and 40 shi was cleared out of the warehouse.

But that was extremely prosperous, and now the Yingchuan family has skin cramps, [-] stones are embarrassing for the Zhen family!Listening to Wang Hou's ridicule, Zhen Yao was really embarrassed for a moment, but only for a moment, he was fisted heavily.

"Zhou Mu, although I don't have 40 shi of military rations, I know of a place where I can get 40 shi of military rations!"

"Oh? Where?"

"Wu Jun!"

Just now he was full of disdain, but when Zhen Yao uttered these two words, Wang Hou's expression finally became slightly serious, his brows were furrowed for a moment, and he nodded solemnly.

"Brother, please discuss in detail in the car!"

"I obey!"

…………

But don’t underestimate Wujun as just a county. Geographically, Wujun occupies more than half of Zhejiang, and it is the heartland of Soochow later, not much smaller than Yuzhou. The granary of later Ming and Qing Dynasties is here, although it is still It is located on the edge of the south of the Yangtze River that has not yet been greatly developed, so it can be expected that there should be a lot of grain production.

What's more, the Central Plains area was ravaged by war, and the agricultural infrastructure was severely damaged, but Jiangnan escaped at this time, and even many refugees from the Central Plains also fled there. Before that, Wang Hou had done several business deals with the aristocratic families of Wu County.

However, Zhen Yao's meaning is obviously not as simple as doing business and buying food in a proper manner. In Wang Hou's spacious and comfortable new four-wheeled carriage, Zhen Yao pulled out a map drawn by him for many years in business travel, and put it on the mahogany table. Wang Hou spread out the front, pointed to the point on the Taihu Lake on the simple sheepskin drawing, and said with shortness of breath.

"Based on this, the Sun family crusade against Shanyue and organized the people in the local area. Every autumn harvest, the autumn grains of the counties under Wujun are boated on Taihu Lake, and they are sent from north to south to Piling. Ship to Jianye!"

"I have old acquaintances in Danyang County, so I can serve as the state pastor!"

"Go and grab Sun Quan!"

This idea really caught Wang Hou's eyes. Not only did this move hurt others and benefit himself, it just hit the development of the Sun family, and now he is worried about how to manage the enthusiasm for going to sea in Qingzhou. The country of Wa is too backward now, and there is nothing to grab , but Sun is different!

Once you grab your hand, those who go to sea along the coast of Qingzhou will not be the same as eating dumplings!Once a tradition is formed, the whole of Southeast Asia, and even beyond, will be under the shadow of the big Han pirates!

But this matter is not so easy, it still needs careful planning. In Zhen Yao's anticipation, pinching his beard on his chin, Wang Hou couldn't help thinking...
