"Shiping, I am married to the daughter of the Changshan Zhang family, what does it have to do with your Zhongshan Zhang family?" Zhen Yi laughed and scolded when he heard this, but Liu Tao could hear that the relationship between the two seemed to be very good, at least they were familiar with each other.

Zhen Yi is also an official eunuch family, and it is said that he will not get close to businessmen, but Liu Tao looks at the friendship between the two people, which does not seem to be a fake.

"More than 100 years ago, the Zhongshan Zhang clan was separated from the Changshan Zhang clan. Besides, one of the clan sisters is close to my Zhongshan Zhang family, and came to visit Lunu with her parents fourteen years ago, met you, and finally married. Besides, the Zhongshan Zhang family has returned to the sect, so naturally the Changshan Zhang family is no different from the Zhongshan Zhang family, she is my sister, and you are naturally my brother-in-law! Zhang Shiping went back directly.

If you want to say that businessmen, honesty is the foundation of the foothold, then eloquence is a means to make money, how can you not be proficient in eating things?

Zhongshan Wuji Zhen, Liu Tao seems to remember this family. was thinking about it, and a figure suddenly appeared in her memory, it was Queen Cao Weiwen Zhao Zhen, she came from this family, but she didn't know what her relationship with Zhen Yi was.

"Liu Sima ......" Zhen Yi also knew that he couldn't talk about Zhang Shiping, so he could only come to Liu Tao, "The Zhang family and the Zhen family have been married since the former Han Dynasty, and they are watching each other. Now that the Zhang family wants to support the general's achievements and quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Zhen family is naturally willing to contribute! ”

As he spoke, he took out a wooden slip and handed it to Liu Tao: "The Zhen family is willing to provide Liu Sima with food and grass supplies, one year for five thousand people, two years for four thousand people, three years for three thousand people, and if the number remains the same, until Sima quells the thief rebellion!" ”

"Si Qun (Zhen Yibiao), your Zhen family's grain storage is enough for 10,000 troops for several years, how can you be so stingy?" Zhang Shiping didn't seem to be satisfied, so he came forward to ridicule.

"Last year's drought didn't bring much grain back, and it was not good to use old grain to fool Liu Sima." Zhen Yi replied helplessly.

Liu Tao watched the performance of the two like this, although the performance was quite natural, there were still traces of deliberateness. Take 10,000 steps back and say, as the largest grain merchant in Jizhou, now Jizhou is erosive, which will inevitably have an impact on Zhen's follow-up grain collection and operation, just now his words, the implication is that he hopes that he can recruit 5,000 people, and it is best to pacify the Yellow Turban Thieves within a year.

In the final analysis, it was his own pacification of the Yellow Turban Thieves in Jizhou, which was good for the Zhen family, a great benefit, so he was willing to do it. This Zhen Yi is more appropriate to say that he is a Han official, but it is better to say that he is a businessman......

"Where, Brother Zhen can come forward to sacrifice the army, it's too late for me to thank you." Liu Tao is not easy to debunk, after all, he also got actual benefits, and he was just worried about the lack of supplies, so Zhen came over, which just solved his urgent need.

After listening to the conversation between the two at the same time, I realized why the Zhang family agreed to help find Zhao Yun, and it turned out that the Zhang family was also related in Changshan County. In other words, the main branch of the Zhang clan in Zhongshan is actually in Changshan County.

The three parties sat down and talked about the support, and then they had to talk about the background of the Changshan clan.

"Zhang Cang?" Liu Tao felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"It turns out that the Changshan Zhang family, the ancestor Zhang Yi aside, Zhang Cang is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty......" Lu Yan seemed to see that Liu Tao did not know the situation of the Changshan Zhang family, so he came forward to praise and introduce some of this family by the way.

Liu Tao is not familiar with Zhang Cang, but he also knows Su Qin and Zhang Yi, but he is not familiar with it, and he also knows that these two are cattle. Zhang Cang is a descendant of Zhang Yi, and the key is that he was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and the Zhang family in Changshan is naturally not to be underestimated.

It is no wonder that he can marry the descendants of the Han Taibao Zhen Han, and it turns out that the background is also profound.

The Zhang family of Zhongshan may have some blood relationship with the Zhang family of Changshan, but they must have five suits. can still recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors and become a side line of Changshan Zhang's family, it is estimated that it is also in this capacity that they have caught up with two families, no wonder they can sit big in Jizhou and become a wealthy businessman.

"Jizhou Zhang's family, feeling the ancestors Yu Yin, but our descendants are not of good ancestry, and no one can hear about the king. Occasionally, most of them are local officials, and there are very few people who can be filial and honest. Zhang Shiping sighed.

Since Zhang Cang's grandson Zhang Zhi was removed from the knighthood, the Zhang family has declined, and there are almost no officials in high positions. The Zhang family is good at counting, Zhang Cang studied under Xunzi, and he was originally a Confucian child, but there are too many imprints of the pre-Qin dynasty, so he is not valued by the Han court.

Simply developing in the direction of business, the way of counting and the merchant are more compatible, Zhongshan Zhang's family, and Changshan Zhang's family in order not to lose face, only to divide out, the money earned, in the end, is not to be fed back to the clan? Otherwise, why are you returning to your sect now?!

As the money bag of the Changshan Zhang family, Zhang Shiping, as the patriarch and sister-in-law of the Zhongshan Zhang family, can talk to Zhen Yi on an equal footing, in fact, he can already explain a lot of problems. Of course, it is also directly related to the fact that Zhen Yi is no longer Shang Cai Ling and has become a squire again.

Zhen is actually not easy, Zhen Han served as the Taibao in the early days of Wang Mang's regency, and served as the Great Sima after Wang Mang usurped the throne, and was named the new Duke of Cheng, and there are too many traces of 'Wang Mang's Party'. On this stain, Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Zhongshan Zhen clan wanted to come out, but it was not so easy.

Changshan Zhang's and Zhongshan's Zhen are also a pair of difficult brothers, and through marriage, they can also be regarded as warming up in the group. Zhen's official luck is not smooth, but the financial luck is extraordinary, in the end, it began to accumulate from the end of the Western Han Dynasty, to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it became the largest grain merchant in Jizhou.

The above things were all told to Liu Tao one after another after sending these two people away.

"Cangshan, Zhang Shiping's suggestion, what do you think?" Even if the two were sent away, Liu Tao was still in a trance.

When we were just talking, Zhang Shiping proposed that the Zhang family and the Su family should contribute money and armament to arm 2,000 soldiers and 3,000 auxiliaries. At the same time, a cavalry of about 300 people was formed, and the Zhen family provided grain and grass to help him recover Zhongshan County, and at the same time invaded Julu County, and finally joined forces with the imperial court to kill the three Zhang brothers and quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Nai's mother, almost all the things about the bandits have been arranged for him!

The key is the 5,000 army, if you really give him 5,000 troops, with magic, maybe you can really deal with the Yellow Turban Thief. It just feels like I'm going to roast him on the fire!

The imperial troops here are fighting steadily, advancing little by little. He drove straight from north to south, if there was no one, how would others say that the imperial court crusaded against the army? Not to mention, the battle of the Changshe is only worthy of war at the moment, and the fire of the Changshe has not yet burned!

"What the Zhang family and the Zhen family want is nothing more than the benefit of the two families...... Lu Yan shook his head, not considering Liu Tao's interests at all.

"And said that you want to fully support me......" Liu Tao mocked.

"They said they would give their full support, nothing more than for the good of the family. The Zhang family and the Zhen family have been suppressed for too long, they hope to change, they hope to change the fate of the two families, in the final analysis, they are too anxious! Lu Yan hit the nail on the head and went straight to the point.

"I don't need to let my fate be controlled by others!" Liu Tao frowned.

"In this world, who is not a pawn? We can't get rid of who we are, but we can choose how to take the next step! Lu Yan persuaded him. In his opinion, there is no one in this world who is not a pawn, and no one can not become a pawn. The only difference is: whether you go to the next step by yourself or be taken by someone else!

"My destiny can only be controlled by myself!" Liu Tao suddenly stretched out a hand, and then clenched it into a fist.

"Then you have to collect the hearts of the two families first, and then control the two families for your own use!" Jian Yong on the side stepped forward, "You can marry with two families!" ”
