The reason why a saint is called a saint is because most people in the world cannot be a saint.

For the people of this era, the so-called home and country must be a home first and then a country.

The more people come out of the big family, the stronger this mentality becomes.

For example, Zhang Qi, although he once planted a big heel under Feng Ghost King, as long as the family can get long-term benefits, it is not impossible for this person to have grievances and pretend to forget.

As the head of the Zhang family, a big family in Liangzhou, Zhang Gong can take care of the overall situation and put public before private.

On the premise of not violating the general righteousness, it is rare to give yourself or your family benefits, compared to other families of the same era.

But just say it straight without shame......

Anyway, Liu Hanzi has opened his eyes.

He secretly reflected in his heart: My knowledge is still shallow, if I had such a shameless ability as Zhang Gong back then, I would not have suffered so much in vain.

At the same time, after sorting out his thoughts, Liu Liang spoke:

"Zhang Gong has a good reputation in the Western Regions, so in the future, the affairs of the Western Regions will still rely on Zhang Gong, and this wool and brown sugar can be chosen by Zhang Gong."

"As long as Zhang Gong chooses, within these three years, all caravans going to the Western Regions can only pass through the Zhang family if they want to get this goods."

To put it bluntly, it is the exclusive agent of the Western Regions for three years for Zhang's wool or brown sugar.

"Of course, if Zhang Gong doesn't want it, Feng Junhou has a batch of silk in his hand every year, and he can also sell it to the Zhang family at a low price for three consecutive years."

"But if there are other caravans transporting silk to the Western Regions, the prince can't control it."

As soon as Liu Liang's words fell, before Zhang Gong could react, Zhang had already "cooed" and swallowed a mouthful of saliva without arguing.

In fact, these three things are all extremely profitable things.

However, it should be noted that if these three things are placed in different places, the profits will vary a lot.

Take the Western Regions as an example, why didn't Liu Liang mention spirits and the like?

Because the Western Regions originally produced peach wine, the spirits were shipped over, not that there was no profit, but that it was far inferior to the above three things.

What's more, from Yumen Pass to the Western Regions, the sea of death must be crossed in the middle, and the longer the road, the higher the transportation cost, and the more convenient it is to transport goods.

In this respect, silk is certainly much more cost-effective than wool.

Because of a certain amount, silk can be much lighter than wool.

What's more, silk is also more expensive than wool.

But if the Zhang family chooses silk, then there is no way to do exclusive trading.

So in Zhang's opinion, the best choice for the Zhang family is naturally brown sugar.

Brown sugar is even more convenient than silk in terms of transportation, and the profits are just as insane.

At the same time, it can maintain exclusive trading in the Western Regions for three years, and you can sell as much as you like, and sell as much as you want.

Doubling the family business in three years is not a dream at all.

Of course, if you can be ruthless and raise the price, it is possible to quadruple or triple.

Thinking of this, Zhang looked at his adult with some nervousness.

I saw Zhang Gong think about it for a while, and quickly made a decision: "The Zhang family wants brown sugar." ”

Hearing this, Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Liu Liang on the side also said in his heart: As I expected.

He was just about to answer, but Zhang Gong raised another finger: "One year, our Zhang family only needs one year." ”

This time, Zhang finally couldn't control himself, and blurted out, "My lord? ”

Aren't you old and confused?

Zhang Gong looked at this breathless son and said angrily: "Shut up!" ”

It's really unproductive!

Shame on you!

Then he looked at Liu Liang again, "But the old man has another request." ”

"Zhang Gong, please speak."

"Liu Langjun must also know that there are many Hu people in Liangzhou, and they often make trouble, which is really a headache."

"Although Feng Junhou has always had a way to govern the Hu people, Liangzhou is vast, and Feng Junhou is probably not familiar with Liangzhou, so it is inevitable that he will not be able to take care of it at that time."

"My Zhang family also has some prestige in Liangzhou, and I am willing to help the prince, as long as the prince can allow me a place in the Zhang family's workshop......"

Why did Feng Yong govern the Hu people obediently?

Why do the Hu people in Liangzhou, who are close to Longyou, dream of going to Longyou?

Those workshops in Pingxiang will definitely not be able to get around.

But Liangzhou is so big, and there are so many Hu people, you can't keep transporting wool to Pingxiang, right?

This time and again, the transportation cost alone is unbearable.

Therefore, in Zhang Gong's mind, if Feng Yong still governs Liangzhou according to Longyou's method, then it is bound to start construction in Liangzhou again.

With the workshop, the Zhang family has a source of wool, and it is also wool at cost price.

With the Zhang family's reputation in the Western Regions, they are afraid of making less money by transporting wool to the Western Regions?

No matter how much silk is more profitable than wool, it can only be eaten for three years.

Although the profit of wool is not as good as silk, it can eat for a long time!

It's a family business that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Three years of windfall profits and long-term dividends of more than two generations, everyone knows how to choose.

Zhang Gong's idea was extremely good, but Liu Liang was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

Because he knew that Feng Yong did have plans to sell a few workshop places in Liangzhou.

And among these workshops, the largest one must have been built by Xinghan.

Even Liu Liang knew that this largest workshop in the future would have its own share - otherwise, why would Liu Liang work so hard and sell his body?

"This, Zhang Gong, this matter is very important, Zhang Gong has to think about it."

"As far as Liang knows, just the quota of this workshop, even if it was put a few years ago, the cost is very high, even if it is an ordinary rich family, it cannot be borne alone."

Not to mention that in the past few years, wool has sold well in the east and west, north and south, but anyone who has a share in the workshop will return to their original costs in two years and earn money in three years.

Who is not blushing in this business?

Really waiting for the Liangzhou workshop to be sold, I don't know how many people are going to break their heads.

"And even if you have a workshop place, you have to invest a lot of money and food, spinning machines, looms, weavers, handymen, and the Hu tribe has to take care of ......."

Before Liu Liang finished speaking, Zhang Gong interrupted him: "Liu Langjun, what the old man wants is exactly that quota." As for money and food, the Zhang family still has some foundation. ”

Using two years of exclusive profits from the Western Regions of Brown Sugar to exchange for a workshop place, for the Zhang family, this is a big profit.

Moreover, the Zhang family occupies a position in advance, so there is no need to compete with each family for places, in the eyes of others, this is the importance that Feng Ghost King values to the Zhang family.

Prestige, although intangible, can be accumulated little by little.

Liu Liang knew that the old fox in front of him had already figured out his bottom line, so he had to grit his teeth and nod at the moment: "Okay, let's be bold and take Zhang Gong for Feng Junhou." ”

When Zhang Gong heard this, he smiled slightly: "Refreshing!" Since Liu Langjun is like this, then our Zhang family can't make people laugh. ”

As he spoke, he turned to Zhang Zuo and ordered, "Go, let you come in from your uncle." ”

Zhang Qiao's uncle, that is, Zhang Gong's younger brother, Zhang Hua.

At that time, he was ordered by Zhang Gong to attack the rebels in the east and greet the Taishou sent by the imperial court.

At the same time, when I was in Jincheng a few years ago, together with Zhang Qi, I was cheated by someone and couldn't say anything.

Zhang Hua quickly pushed the door and came in.

Zhang Gong asked, "Where is Taishou?" ”

"Brother Hui, he has been consulting with everyone in the front hall and has never left."

Zhang Hua replied.

Zhang Gong nodded, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "Let's do it." ”

Zhang Hua clenched his fists, turned around and walked out.

After a while, the people guarding outside saw the gate of Zhang's mansion rumble and close tightly.

Then, in the mansion where they could not see, more than 100 men wearing leather armor and long knives appeared from all corners and surrounded the vestibule.

Zhang Hua put on armor and a sword, and led people into the front hall.

The people who were arguing in the front hall suddenly fell silent, and they all looked at Zhang Hua hesitantly.

Zhang Hua pressed his sword to look around at everyone and said:

"Everyone, please listen to me: for several years, the Han and Wei have competed, mostly Han won and Wei lost, there was the battle of Longyou in the front, and the battle of Jincheng in the back."

"In the battle of Xiaoguan, Feng Yong broke the 100,000 army of Sima Cao Zhen, the great Sima of Wei, with 20,000, and after this battle, Wei was no longer able to take care of Liangzhou."

"Now if Liangzhou is used alone to resist the elite of the Han army, do you think it's okay?"

No one can answer this question, or rather, everyone knows the answer, but everyone doesn't know what Zhang Hua means, and no one comes forward at this time.

"Well, since you don't want to say it, then I'll talk about it. Cao Zhen's 100,000 army was still defeated by 20,000 Han troops, where did Liangzhou have 100,000 people? ”

"Even if there is, how can it be compared with the elite of the Wei army in Guanzhong? Therefore, in this war, Liangzhou will not be guaranteed. ”

"If you don't want to protect it, dare to ask you, after more than two days of discussion, have you ever discussed the result? Do you want to fight to the death and burn all the jade, or do you want to follow the general trend and surrender your whole body? ”

The crowd fell silent.

Only Yin Feng, the Dunhuang Taishou who was sitting on the main seat, stood up suddenly: "Zhang Hua, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Hua and Yin Feng looked at each other: "A certain meaning is to conform to the general trend, respond to the Han Dynasty, and protect the people of Dunhuang." ”

"Do you want to rebel? Where is Zhang Xiaowei (Zhang Gong)? ”

Yin Feng said sharply.

"Yin Taishou, if my Zhang family wants to rebel, it will be rebelled more than ten years ago, how can I welcome Taishou into Dunhuang?"

Zhang Hua retorted without showing weakness:

"When the rebels rebels were in turmoil, Dunhuang was alone in a county, the court had no time to look east, and the thieves Huang Hua and Zhang Jin wanted to join forces with my brother, but my brother not only flatly refused, but even after his parents and children fell into the hands of the thieves, he never gave in."

"Can it be said that my Zhang family is selfish? It is for the people of Liangzhou. Today, I am also planning for the people of Liangzhou, and I can't do it, so I should take advantage of the trend. ”

Seeing that Yin Feng was still about to speak, Zhang Hua pressed his sword and shouted: "Liangzhou and Guan have been interrupted for several years, and Wei has long been unable to look eastward, can't the people of Liangzhou still be the master of Liangzhou?!" ”

The last sentence made many people look up suddenly.

Since the beginning of the establishment of the Later Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu had intended to abandon the west of Jincheng County and the Huangshui Valley, but fortunately, Ma Fubo (i.e., Ma Yuan) understood the overall situation and dissuaded him in time.

A hundred years later, because of the Hu rebellion, Deng Qiu, the general of the imperial court, once again proposed to give up Liangzhou, and this time he almost got the support of the whole court.

Fortunately, Yu Shengqing (Yu Xu) tried his best to persuade Taiwei Zhang Yu, and he saved Liangzhou in danger.

After more than 80 years, Situ Cuilie once again made a mess because of Qiang and suggested giving up Liangzhou.

This time, it was Yilang Fu Xie who struggled to shout "Kill Situ, the world is safe".

Not to mention that the court not only had no intention of quelling the rebellion of the Hu people in Liangzhou, but even sent corrupt officials and cool officials to take charge of Liangzhou affairs, which caused the Liangzhou officials to complain.

Giving up Liangzhou, giving up Liangzhou, the imperial court has done it again and again, and the hearts of the people of Liangzhou have long been cold.

It was in this situation that Zhang Hua's words suddenly stimulated the sensitive minds of Liangzhou people.

Is the life of the people of Liangzhou not life?

Knowing that Liangzhou can't be saved, why do you want us to burn all the jade?

Yin Feng saw that many people below had gloomy eyes, and he chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly defended:

"I have been a Dunhuang Taishou for more than ten years, and I have long regarded myself as a person from Liangzhou? What I mean is that even if we surrender, we must let the Han people see what we are capable of. ”

"If not, how can the Han people look up to us?"

When Zhang Hua heard Yin Feng's words, he smiled slightly: "What Taishou said is extremely true, and it is not a secret, the Han Kingdom has actually sent someone to discuss." ”

"And as far as I know, the Liangzhou Assassin History placed by the Han State is Feng Yong, who broke Cao Zhen's 100,000 army in Xiaoguan."

Speaking of this, Zhang Hua looked around again and found that everyone finally couldn't stop stirring.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

The prestige of King Feng Ghost is indeed in the limelight in the Liangzhou area.

"Over the years, everyone should also have heard that the wool, brown sugar, spirits and other things that flow into Liangzhou from Longyou are all controlled by Feng Yong."

"Think about it, everyone, if Feng Yong really went to Liangzhou to be the assassin, would he still ignore the corporal and the people?"

Zhang Hua's coercion, empathy and temptation finally impressed the people present.

Seeing that most of the people's faces were moving with intention, Zhang Hua looked at Yin Feng again: "Yin Taishou, what do you say?" ”

Yin Feng's eyes were about to split, and he gritted his teeth for a while before he said word by word: "I want to see Captain Zhang." ”

Zhang Hua knew that he hadn't fully made up his mind, so he responded: "Okay, I'll let my nephew take Taishou over, please." ”

Seeing Yin Feng's figure disappear outside the door, most of the people in the hall unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Hua looked at them and smiled slightly: "Who approves of this matter?" Who is against? ”

Everyone looked at each other.

After a long time, someone finally asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, Feng Yong, uh, will Feng Tingshi really take care of our Liangzhou officials and people as you said?" ”

Let's not talk about it from afar, let's just say that the current Xu Miao, the money and food that he borrowed from everyone two years ago, will definitely not come back now.

Into the mother's!

I saw Zhang Hua say confidently:

"Everyone, please rest assured, if Feng Tingshi really doesn't take care of everyone, then our Zhang family can directly supply wool to everyone."

Who can enter this antechamber is not a human spirit?

The thought turned quickly, and he immediately heard the meaning of Zhang Hua's words.

Zhangjia...... This is, it's very likely that it's already online!

The crowd was in an uproar again.

How the people in the front hall tested Zhang Hua didn't mention it for the time being, out of the front hall of Dunhuang Taishou Yin Feng, followed Zhang for a while, and suddenly stopped.

"Why didn't Taishou leave?"

Zhang asked a little strangely.

Yin Feng's face was pale, his eyes closed and opened, and he could see that he was trying his best to control his emotions:

"Where to go? Could it be true that I should go and talk to Captain Zhang about how to defeat the enemy? ”

Zhang Zhi's face was hot, and he didn't know how to answer.

"A certain party is just taking the opportunity to come out, and he doesn't want to lose face in it."

Yin Feng said with a bitter face, "I also asked Zhang Langjun to go and tell Captain Zhang, saying that from today on, a certain person is no longer the Taishou of Dunhuang, and I also ask Captain Zhang to appease the people for Yin Feng." ”

After speaking, Yin Bong turned around and left.

Zhang was taken aback: "Yin Taishou, what do you mean?" ”

"If you can't repay the king's kindness, you can't appease the people, you can't resist the enemy outside, you can't obey the people inside, and you can't stand between heaven and earth, what kind of face do you have to be in the position of being too guarded?"

Yin Bong didn't look back and smiled miserably.

At the beginning of August of the ninth year of Jianxing, Wuwei County ruled that the city of Zang was broken, and Xu Miao, the assassin of Liangzhou, killed himself.

At the same time, Yin Feng, who was far away in Dunhuang, committed suicide by hanging a beam on the house.

The Dunhuang scholars decided to respond to the Han Dynasty, and Zhang Gong sent Zhang Hua and Zhang Zuo [5200 www.bqg5200.xyz] to lead the county soldiers and force Jiuquan eastward.

As soon as Wu Wei was lost, Zhang Ye, who was overwhelmed by the bald Khotan, also took advantage of the situation.

Jiuquan County was attacked by the east and west, and surrendered without a fight.

The Han Dynasty finally regained Liangzhou completely.
