A carriage closely guarded by sergeants slowly stopped at the gate of Gwangjong, and the officer headed by the officer took out the documents and handed them to the guards at the gate.

"Open the carriage and take a look." The guard said as he took the paperwork.

"No, there are instructions in the paperwork, you can read it yourself."

"Personally issued by General Zhenbei? Salute! As soon as the guard opened the paperwork and saw that the payment was Ma Qiang's autograph, he immediately shouted loudly.

No matter who is sitting in the carriage, since it is Ma Qiang's personal inquiry, it must be a person with a very high status.

In the carriage, a young girl held the hand of a young man dressed as a Taoist priest.

"Husband, General Zhenbei asked us to come to Guangzong this time, why on earth? The concubine was a little scared. ”

The young man smiled, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around the girl's thin waist, and whispered comfortingly, "It's okay, General Zhenbei won't be unfavorable to us, otherwise there would be no need to save us back then." And this time when you come to Guangzong, don't you have someone to talk to? ”

This pair is Liu Wei and Tang Ji, who were rescued by Gan Shi that day.

They have always lived in seclusion in the plain city, and as time went by, they also got used to a new life, Liu Wei became the master of a Taoist temple that was not open to the public, and studied agriculture on weekdays, while Tang Ji fell in love with mathematics, probably because they were people who could not show their true identities to the outside world, Tang Ji also became friends with Zhang Ning.

"It's here, please get out of the car."

Liu Wei put on a hat to cover Tang Ji's face, took one and put it on himself, and then got out of the carriage.

"Zhenbei General's Mansion...."

"This way, please."

Liu Wei and Tang Ji walked into the Zhenbei General's Mansion together, and soon Zhang Ning walked out.

"Sister Ning!" Tang Ji saw that Zhang Ning was there, and her face, which had been a little nervous, finally relaxed.

Zhang Ning was still wearing a white research coat, smiled and said, "You two come with me first, the general is not here now, the two ladies of Qingcheng and Lime are in the laboratory, and I will take you to the place where you live." ”

At this time, Ma Qiang was eating with Zhang He and Tian Feng.

"Taste, taste, this dish is just developed by our big Matsumura chef, called moldy dried vegetables stewed meat, don't be afraid, this dish is called moldy dried vegetables, but it can be eaten, and it is delicious, it is made of mustard axillary and dried, I have eaten it before, but I don't know how to do it, she tried it many times before she made it." Ma Qiang beckoned the two to put chopsticks on a stack of black-looking dishes, and the two looked at the dish, thinking that Ma Qiang was impatient to poison the two.

But as soon as the dish was eaten, I found that the dish was very fresh and fragrant, and I couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

"It's delicious! I said, "Oh, you're almost healed, aren't you?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, it's been completely healed."

"Well, that's good, Zilong was sorry to know that you had a broken bone later, don't blame him."

"The two armies are fighting, and the swords and guns have no eyes, not to mention broken bones."

"Atmosphere! Come, have a drink! Ma Qiang said with a smile.

Tian Feng looked at Zhang He with a flattered look, couldn't help but crooked his mouth, and said, "General Ma, we all know your intentions, but I'm afraid you're going to go for nothing again, right, General Zhang?" ”

Zhang He smiled embarrassedly, Hejian is now Ma Qiang's territory, Yuan Shao's effect on this attack seems to be average, how to see the future trend of Ma Qiang's stocks will continue to go up, as long as there is a step down, he is quite willing to change the court.

"Mr. Tian, don't talk so deadly, didn't we have an agreement? As long as I govern Jizhou better than before, you will come out to help me. ”

Zhang He glanced at Tian Feng, and this time it was Tian Feng's turn to be embarrassed.

"However, Jizhou is going to be short of food this year, right?" Tian Feng drank a glass of wine to hide his expression, and then said.

"Well, I have asked the Commercial Supervision Bureau to organize a caravan to go to other states to purchase grain and grass, I hope it can be used." Ma Qiang sighed and said, "To be honest, that is, because of the two of you, I can eat wine and meat, and now we don't have such big meat dishes in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and we have also begun to ban alcohol. ”

"Even the general, you don't have wine and meat to eat?"

Ma Qiang touched his stomach and smiled, "But the sea fish is enough, next time I will bring you some to try!" ”

After eating and drinking, Ma Qiang looked at Zhang He and said, "Jun Yi, I know that Yuan Shao has the grace of knowing you, so I will also make an agreement with you, if there is a war against foreign races in the future, you will help me, how about it?" ”

"Foreign?"

"For example, the Xianbei people, the Huns, or Goguryeo, good men fight in the nest every day, what kind of hero, I think, real heroes, when the same as the champion Hou or Changping Hou, open the border for the country, defend the frontier for the people, and win peace for all generations!"

Zhang He looked at Ma Qiang, whose eyes were shining, and suddenly felt that Yuan Shao's strength was too small compared to Ma Qiang.

Ma Qiang never seemed to care about the current princes' struggle for hegemony, and in his eyes, it seemed that he had already surpassed the territory of the Han Dynasty.

"If there is really a day, I Zhang He is willing to shroud the body of Ma leather and serve the public!"

Zhang He is also a hot-blooded man, and he swore an oath on the spot.

"Good! We're sure of it! ”

Once the attack on Youzhou is completed, then the next step is to face Xianbei.

As for Wu Huan, who was swept away by Cao Cao, it is no longer a threat now, after all, the bond between Wu Huan and Ma Qiang is too deep.

Ma Qiang now has at least more than 10,000 Wuhuan people in the army, this is still for Ma Qiang to be a soldier, under the temptation of Ma Qiang's high price to buy wool and slaves, Wuhuan also took the steel weapons produced by the Red Star Battalion to continuously attack the various tribes in the eastern Xianbei, and now the Yuyang iron mine is full of slaves of various tribes sent by Wuhuan, replacing the original Yellow Turban prisoners of war.

Of course, these dirty things will not be written in any written record, and will inevitably be drowned in dust with mining disasters again and again.

- Qingdao Port

Zhen Yan looked at the fleet of sea ships that were preparing for the final departure, and couldn't help but recall what her sister said.

A few days ago, when Zhen Yan was discussing with other big businessmen at home who should go to Yangzhou, Zhen Mi called him to the boudoir to discuss.

"Brother, this time Jizhou is short of grain, it is the time for you to show your ability to the general, you must go to Yangzhou in person, buy enough grain and grass, and find a way to make the scholars and merchants in Yangzhou accept the barter."

"Why is that? I, the director of the dignified Bureau of Commerce and Commerce, can be regarded as Xiao Jiuqing, what kind of thing, can't I just arrange a big businessman to go? ”

"Brother is confused! Our general is not other princes, I see that he acted in the past, and he was very businessmen! Now Jizhou is short of food, but what Qingzhou lacks is a market that can digest the commodities of various listed companies! ”

"Market??"

"Hey, brother, why don't you read the book "Simple Economics" written by the general."

Zhen Yan's face turned red, he really hadn't read the messy books written by Ma Qiang.
