It's just that the prime minister of the Han Dynasty has an order, even if Feng Yong is no longer happy, how can he dare to shirk it?

At that moment, he had to reply, "Forever getting along with good friends is really like the fragrance of Wenlan." ”

As soon as Li Feng heard this, he saluted again with a happy face, "Junior brother Feng has seen my brother." What the elder brother sang just now, although the younger brother didn't understand it, he felt that it was quite rhymed, but the new poem written by the elder brother?

Feng Yong was taken aback, thinking to himself that Lao Tzu sang "Tears in the Iron Window" in Mandarin, can you also hear it?

"Ahem, it's just a temporary nonsense, and it can't be taken seriously."

Feng Tu Turtle explained with a dry laugh.

"Li Dalang has always appreciated your articles, and when he learned yesterday that he was going to come over to meet you, he couldn't help himself on the spot."

Zhuge Liang has long been familiar with Feng Tu's temperament, and when he saw his current appearance, he knew that he was starting to talk nonsense again, so he immediately opened his mouth to remind, "If you have a new work, it is also good to discuss it with Li Dalang." ”

Well? Listening to the meaning of Zhuge Old Demon, this Li Feng seems to be my little fan brother?

Feng Yong looked at Li Feng again, only to see his admiration on his face, and his eyes flashed with joy.

Can't be wrong, Feng Yong is too familiar with this look, and those little fans who chase stars in later generations see their idols like this.

Of course, it's the more rational kind.

So a certain turtle couldn't help but be complacent, Lao Tzu actually has fans?

As soon as he thought about it, Feng Yong agreed: "Okay, if I have a new work, I will definitely ask Li Langjun to correct it." ”

"Don't dare." Li Feng hurriedly said, "Brother's masterpiece, how can a stupid person like Feng correct it?" Even the adults also told the younger brother that the younger brother came to Jincheng and asked the elder brother for more advice. ”

This Li Feng has a tendency to transform into a brain-dead fan.

Just listening to Li Feng's words, it seems that Li Yan also pays attention to me?

Not only Feng Yong muttered in his heart, but even Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with a fine light.

"Sit down, I have something to say to you."

Zhuge Liang didn't let Li Feng and Feng Yong continue to talk, sat down on the chair by himself, pointed to the chair opposite, looked at the chessboard on the table, and motioned to Feng Yong, "Talk about a game?" ”

Then he picked up a black chess piece and looked at the chessboard on the table, but was stunned to find that the black and white chess pieces seemed to be a little messy, and there was no layout at all.

"Prime Minister, I won't talk about it."

Feng Tu Turtle sat on the chair and said with some twist.

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he frowned a little, "Didn't you ask someone to play chess with you when you just came in?" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the chessboard again, "I can't talk about it, who is this?" ”

He also thought that Feng Yong was afraid of making a fool of himself because of his poor chess skills, so he said, "Playing chess is to sharpen one's mind, and the other is to learn the art of war." It doesn't matter if you don't play well, as long as you study hard, you will always grow. ”

Feng Tu Turtle coughed dryly, "Prime Minister, I really don't." I used a different way of playing on this chessboard. ”

"Oh, there's another way to play this game?"

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty raised his eyebrows, "This is fresh, let's hear it?" ”

At the same time, he thought in his heart, isn't this the rule of his master's school?

"Now, Prime Minister, this is very simple. You see, as long as this is the case, black and white, as long as anyone can connect the five pieces into a line first, even if it wins, horizontal, vertical, oblique, it's okay. ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned.

I thought to myself, what kind of rule is this?

The chess pieces in the hand are not placed, and it is not the case if they are not placed.

Feng Yong gave Zhuge Liang the opportunity to repent, and immediately divided five by two, and directly cleaned up the chess pieces on the chessboard, and then said respectfully, "Prime Minister, you go first?" ”

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty wanted to flip the table all of a sudden, and I said I want to play this kind of chess with you? Can you do things with common sense once?

Every time the sword goes sideways!

However, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty is brilliant after all, and after a little thought, he put the sunspot down at will.

There was a "gurgling" sound in the corner of the wall, and Feng Yong hurriedly ran over and brought the boiled water.

Then he took out a bowl and a small jar from the cabinet at the head of the bed, pinched out a little tea from the small jar and put it in the bowl to brew, and then put it in front of Zhuge Liang, "Prime Minister, take a sip of tea first." ”

Then he smiled apologetically at Li Feng and Wang You, "There are not enough bowls in the prison, and there are not many chairs, so the two Langjun are tired." ”

"Don't worry, I'll just stand up."

Li Feng and Wang You hurriedly said.

In front of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, how can they sit?

is only qualified to sit in front of the prime minister with a figure like my brother.

Feng Yong himself poured himself a bowl, and then sat down in front of the prime minister, picked up a white chess piece and put it on.

Then he reached over again, picked up the dried apricots from the fruit bowl and put them in his mouth, chewed them, and swallowed them directly.

When Zhuge Liang saw him like this, the corners of his eyes twitched.

Standing without standing phase, sitting without sitting phase, even playing chess is not restless!

When the tea leaves are boiled in boiling water, the color of the water begins to change, and the unique fragrance of the tea leaves spreads.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but take a breath, couldn't help but pick up the bowl and take a sip, and then asked, "In this season, where do you get the tea?" ”

"Oh, didn't I open a tea garden on the hillside behind Zhuangzi three years ago? This year, I picked some tea leaves and stocked them up. ”

With sufficient fertilizer at the bottom of the garden, coupled with the careful care of the Amei people, the tea trees are growing well, and they can be picked in the second half of this year.

"I forgot about it." Only then did Zhuge Liang remember that Feng Yong had planted a large number of tea trees on his Zhuangzi.

I saw Feng Yong's eyebrows fluttering and saying, "Let me tell you, Prime Minister, this tea is a good thing." I'm ...... with that beam."

As he spoke, he paused, and then glanced at Li Feng and Wang You.

"It's okay, but it's what it is."

Zhuge Liang knew what he meant and said.

"Oh, that's right. I agreed with Liang Si, in addition to this woolen cloth, I also asked them to help me sell some tea to the Hu people in the north. ”

Thinking that the hillsides behind Zhuangzi are full of tea plantations, Feng Tu is excited, damn, finally waited for today!

Tea, the necessities of the Hu people!

Wool! Cattle! Woman! Furs!

Hand them all over!

"It makes sense to eat tea in Shudi, and there are big families in the north who may also have the habit of eating tea, but this Hu people eat tea, how come I have never heard of it?"

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty obviously did not realize the importance of tea as a strategic material.

"So I just asked Liang Si to help me try to sell a little."

Feng Tu smiled, "Maybe it's a big deal?" ”

Zhuge Liang obviously felt that Feng Yong was whimsical, shook his head and smiled, picked up another chess piece and put it down, "Whether you sell it to the Hu people in the north or plan to sell it in Shudi, don't touch it yourself." ”

The Han Dynasty's suppression of merchants was not as severe as that of the later dynasties, which can be seen from the Han Dynasty's special commercial taxation of "counting money" and "counting cars and ships".

After the deformity of Confucianism developed, the dynasties could not even collect commercial taxes.

It's just that it's not always good to really get into the reputation of a merchant these days.

So have white gloves.

"Understood, understood."

Feng Yong nodded.

"Speaking of the business in the north, Prime Minister, although the Liang family wants to buy woolen cloth from me, what about the woolen cattle and horses that are exchanged for it?"

Taking woolen cloth to open the road to Liangzhou was Zhuge Liang's strategy.

So this kind of thing, Feng Yong didn't have the luxury of hoping to be able to swallow it all by himself.

Besides, isn't it the basic operation of the state to collect import and export tariffs?

Ma Youchang also opened a workshop in the land of Nanzheng, Hanzhong. It's just that Fu County hasn't received much wool from the Hu people this year, so the woolen cloth still has to come out of you. ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at Feng Yong and said in a deep voice, "It's half, it's the same as the year before last." On the side of the court, you mainly take wool and horses, and you take cattle and sheep. Whichever side is not enough, just make up for it. ”

"It's a good idea."

Feng Yong was overjoyed, he really didn't expect Zhuge Old Demon to be generous.

"There is one more thing, Nanzheng's workshop, you ask Nanxiang to do a favor and send some people over to teach it." Zhuge Liang knocked on the table, "The workshops of the imperial court have been open for a year, and they are still messy and don't look like anything." ”

I thought that the workshop was just to bring people and spinning wheels and looms together, and then use wool yarn to weave cloth, but I didn't expect it to be too simple.

Not to mention the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the weavers in the workshop, it is a big problem to manage them on weekdays.

Nanzheng's workshop has been open for almost a year, and not to mention a few pieces of cloth have not been spun, even the cloth that is barely spun is also very poor, but I am afraid that it will not be sold by the Hu people.

Ma Tan originally wanted to go to Nanxiang to find Li Qiu and others in private, and wanted Nanxiang to send some people to help, but he didn't think about it, but he was refused.

Not to mention Li Qiu and others, even Li Mu, a woman, has a tough attitude, and only talks about the Nanxiang workshop and ranch, and asks her brother to speak.

Ma Tan had no choice but to tell Zhuge Liang the truth in the end.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty is also a little tired in his heart: everyone else can set up a ranch workshop in the white field, you have an example in front of you, and you have the help of the imperial court, but you can't even get it?

It's just that having said that, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty also knows that there has never been such a thing as a workshop before, and the doorway here, except for this kid, no one else really knows.

"No problem."

For this additional condition, Feng Yong agreed.

"I heard that Mu Niangzi from Nanxiang is very powerful......"

"That won't work!"

Feng Tu Turtle shuddered and hurriedly changed his words.

Li Mu is now the pillar of the workshop, and at the same time he is also the spokesperson of the Li family's interests in Nanxiang, and the Li family is also responsible for supplying vegetables and some grain to the workshop and pasture.

Without her, the workshop would have collapsed in half.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty snorted, "It's just a few days of borrowing." ”

"That's not going to work either." Feng Yong's eyes rolled and said, "Li Mu has a person named Ah Xiang by his side, who is my playmate in the concubine's room. Originally, I planned to let her follow Li Mu and train her to be in charge. If Nan Zheng's workshop is really short of people, I can let her go. ”

Feng Tu Turtle didn't blush at all when he said this.

That Ah Xiang, who has been by Li Mu's side for so long, can learn some fur even if he is a pig.

What's more, Nanxiang has been running a night school for two years.

Nowadays, in workshops and ranches, both men and women, if they want to climb up, in addition to the skills of their own work, they also need to learn literacy and basic arithmetic.

Arithmetic within a hundred, take a branch to write and draw on the ground, and at least say the correct answer, in order to be qualified to be the leader of the team and the like.

It is common to be able to recognize certain words and know simple arithmetic problems, which are placed in the workshops and pastures of Nanxiang.

But if it's out there, it's a treasure.

As long as this Ah Xiang can reach the level of the team leader of the workshop, it will not be a big problem if he is released to be a steward or something.

Besides, if she hadn't been a little cautious at the beginning, as for instigating Amei's soft egg to sue herself?

But Zhuge Liang heard Feng Yong say this, and his heart moved, this kid has a lot of people on hand?

Thinking of the various news from Hanzhong, the Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty affirmed this idea in his heart, and his eyes when he looked at Feng Yong became a little strange.

It's not unusual to have someone on hand, but it's strange how to keep the people on hand?

Thinking of this, the mind of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty became a little erratic.

"Prime Minister, the five sons are connected, I won."

Feng Yong didn't care what Zhuge Liang was thinking, and shouted happily at the moment.

Zhuge Liang glanced at the chessboard casually, then nodded, and admitted, "That's right, you won." ”

"Yay!"

Feng Tu Turtle shouted excitedly, and glanced at Zhuge Liang longingly, "Prime Minister, are you still coming?" ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at Feng Yong a little strangely, such a simple chess game, what is there to be happy about winning or losing?

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty did not know what later generations would say about him.

Feng Tu Turtle only felt that he had won this eternal demon, and he felt really cool!

No, immediately after being released from prison, he wrote in a small notebook: On a certain day in December of the third year of Jianxing, Feng Yong and Zhuge Liang won a game of chess.

In the future, when I die, I will engrave this thing on a stone tablet and bury it!

"Again."

The two cleaned up the game and started again.

"The woolen cloth produced by Nanzheng's workshop will be used in the army first, and it is a matter of the north, you should be careful, don't spoil the big thing, otherwise I won't spare you."

The so-called northern plan is nothing more than the Northern Expedition.

Liangzhou is a cold place again, and if the soldiers in the barracks can use woolen cloth, it is indeed a great thing.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, now that Nanxiang and Nanzheng have already repaired the avenue? It only takes one day to go back and forth, if there is really any urgency, you ask Ma Taishou to send someone directly to Nanxiang. ”

The cement road was repaired intermittently for more than a year, and finally connected Nanxiang and Nanzheng.

The road is certainly not as good as the quality in Nanxiang, and some sections are still paved with coal ballast gravel due to the terrain.

But compared to the road of this era, it is already a rare good road in the world.

In the letter from Li Qiu and others, it was said that this road was a brilliant avenue, and the world was amazed by it, or it was said to be the road of immortals.

Nowadays, this road has become the main passage in Hanzhong, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians and business travelers coming and going every day.

At the same time, Feng Yong finally trained the first professional civil engineering team.

"It's really not possible, you can let those weavers from Nanzheng Workshop go to Nanxiang to help for a few days, and then let them come back after they learn."

Anyway, the transportation is also convenient, and the agent training is very simple.

Zhuge Liang was a little surprised that Feng Yong casually proposed the solution, thought about it for a while, and felt that this was really a good solution.

"What do you think about this?"

Zhuge Liang praised it sincerely this time, "This is indeed a good method." ”

"The training fee ......" Feng Yong glanced at the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, so he had to swallow his words and change his words, "But it is a well-known thing that the weavers in Nanxiang eat well, and they can't eat and live for nothing when they go there, right?" ”

"Count the cattle and sheep exchanged from the north."

Zhuge Liang said angrily.

This kid really refuses to eat at all.

"Have you learned the art of Guan Zhong?"

Zhuge Liang asked suddenly.

Guan Zhong?

The ancestor of China's economics, of course Feng Yong knows.

But it is limited to what is recorded in the history books, and I really don't understand his thoughts and sayings.

"Nope."

"Really?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Feng Yong suspiciously.

Feng Yong suddenly remembered the plan he had proposed to Zhuge Liang in Nanzhong.

Weixian Huimeng, isn't it the old thing of learning from Qi Huangong?

And the reason why Qi Huangong, a little white, was able to dominate the Central Plains was precisely because of Guan Zhong's assistance.

At the moment, I had to say, "I just understand a little." ”

"Understand?"

Zhuge Liang asked leisurely, "Why do I think you have studied specifically?" ”

"Let's not talk about the matter of Fang Cai, it's your wool matter, and Guan Zhong's purchase of a deer and submission to the Chu State, as well as the old matter of Qi Lu Min, don't you think it's very similar?"

"Huh?"

Feng Yong was a little dazed, "What do you mean?" ”
