The book is picked up again.

Early the next morning, in front of the gate of Tongguan.

At this time, Xu Huang was holding Yang Ying's hand, and pleaded with a bitter face, "Boxiong, when you go back, you must discuss it with your brother and ask him to transfer the update to a certain family."

A certain family can see that it is now in a state of readiness.

In the near future, my brother will definitely make a big move, and there will definitely be countless battles to fight at that time!

If you stay here all the time, won't you suffocate to death?! ”

When Yang Ying heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Gongming, it's not that a certain family doesn't want to help, but it really can't help!"

Brother Gongming also knows that under the command of the lord, only Brother Gongming is good at defense.

Besides Brother Gongming, who else can be stationed in Tongguan?

So, Brother Guangming should stay here honestly.

As for you saying that there is no war to fight......

That's impossible!

Dong Zhuo is not ambitious, and he will definitely find a way to sneak attack Tongguan.

Because Tongguan is the gateway to Chang'an, now that he has lost Tongguan, he is under the command of the lord at any time, and he can't sleep until he recaptures Tongguan.

So you better be careful, Dong Zhuo will definitely find a way to recapture Tongguan!

In this way, you are not afraid of running out of battles. ”

"It's... Alas......! Xu Huang is not an unreasonable person, after hearing Yang Ying's words, he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, then a certain family is temporarily guarding against Dong Zhuo in Tongguan."

But you have to keep in mind that once the brother has another defender under his command, he has a good defender.

Then you must not forget to remind the lord and let that person change the guard of a certain family! ”

"Okay! Now remember. Yang Ying answered and looked up at the sky, and said, "It's not too early, a certain family can't delay again, say goodbye!" ”

"Walk slowly!"

"Hmm" After Yang Ying nodded, he didn't hesitate, immediately turned over and got on his horse, leading everyone slowly towards Luoyang.

Halfway through the journey, it was already noon, and I saw a few villages with faint smoke drifting from cooking, which seemed to be cooking.

Lu Bu looked at this scene, frowned and asked, "Messenger, haven't all the people in these villages been taken captive by Dong Zhuo to Chang'an?"

Who live here today? ”

When Yang Ying heard this, she said proudly, "This is my lord's drainage strategy."

At the beginning, after my father-in-law knew that Dong Zhuo had left Chang'an, he would exile all the people of the villages between Chang'an and Tongguan to Chang'an, so he immediately thought of this plan. ”

"Drainage?" After hearing Yang Ying's words, the patriarch of the Wu clan asked curiously, "Can the envoy elaborate on this drainage strategy?" ”

"Of course you can" Yang Ying heard this, nodded and then talked about this strategy for him in detail.

"The so-called drainage strategy is, to put it bluntly, a strategy to attract displaced people.

You should also know that over the years, natural disasters have continued, and there are countless displaced people in the world.

Therefore, my father-in-law used the exemption of taxes for five years as a bait to lure those displaced people to settle down here.

And the lord's strategy is indeed clever, no, in just two months, these originally empty villages are full of people! ”

"Outcasts? Exemption from taxes for five years? The patriarch of the Wu clan repeated it again, and after these two sentences, he frowned and asked, "Although the exemption from taxes for five years is indeed a great temptation for those displaced people.

But where did their land come from?

Besides, they are homeless people and have no food in their hands, so even if they are given land, what do they use to cultivate?

Also, now that it is autumn, it is too late for them to cultivate (there was no winter wheat in the Han Dynasty).

So what will they eat this fall, until next fall, this year? ”

After Yang Ying heard the series of questions from the patriarch of the Wu clan, he replied with a smile, "It's very simple, since my lord has introduced them here, he will manage them well."

So as soon as they came, my father-in-law gave them one year's food and the next year's farming tools.

When they have harvested the grain in the coming year, they need to take out 30% of the annual output to return it to my father-in-law, until the grain owed to my father-in-law is repaid.

As for the land......"

After saying this, Yang Ying paused, glanced at the patriarch of the Wu clan with a smile, and said, "At the beginning, after you people from the family were taken captive to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, you left a lot of ownerless land.

These land departments were all taken back by my father-in-law.

And now, the lord has countless ownerless lands in his hands, and he is worried that there is no one to cultivate it.

So, he rented it out to the homeless people for free.

As long as they can farm, even if they want 10,000 acres each, my lord will give them to them! ”

"This ......" The Wu clan patriarch's face was a little ugly after hearing Yang Ying's words.

According to what Yang Ying said, doesn't that mean that the land of his Wu family has also been taken back by Li Zhi?!

But then the face of the patriarch of the Wu clan returned to his usual color.

Since they had decided to join Li Zhi, that little land was nothing.

Then, after thinking for a while from Li Zhi's point of view, he asked, "Although the hussar general's move can indeed be called a great good

But hussar generals always have to raise troops, right?

He does not collect taxes or rents, so where does he get his food? ”

"Hahaha......" Yang Ying laughed when she heard this, "Master Wu, you underestimate my family master too much!"

When my lord gave these displaced people land, he signed a contract with them.

The contract clearly states that when they have a good harvest, they will leave enough food to feed them for a year, and the rest will be sold to my lord at the market price!

In this way, my father-in-law every year

If you can buy mountains of grain, how can you have no food to use? ”

"Buy?" The patriarch of the Wu clan asked with some puzzlement, "Where did the hussar general get so much money?" ”

"Hehe......" Yang Ying shook his head with a smile, and said with emotion, "It seems that you are only staring at my lord's army, not my lord's money."

Since Erxianzhuang, my father-in-law has been accumulating money and food.

Now my father-in-law has a lot of money, he can't even count it.

Let's put it this way, in Erxian Village, my lord has built dozens of warehouses!

And in these large warehouses, all of them are full of gold, silver and jewelry, and not even a single copper can be seen! ”

When the patriarch of the Wu clan heard this, he asked in confusion, "Why doesn't the hussar general store copper coins?"

Although gold and silver jewelry is more valuable, copper coins are money, and those gold and silver jewelry cannot be used directly as money.

If what you say is true, doesn't that mean that the hussar general is penniless? ”

"It's true for the average person." Yang Ying nodded and said, "But my father-in-law is different!

The caravans under the command of my lord are all over the world, and if he wants, he can exchange all these gold, silver and jewelry departments for copper coins in a very short time!

However, there are so many copper coins circulating in the world, if my family is replaced with copper coins, then the world is likely to have no money available!

And, most importantly, if my lord exchanges all those gold, silver and jewelry for copper coins.

Then my lord will need to prepare thousands of warehouses to store these copper coins!

My father-in-law thought it was too troublesome, so he didn't change it to copper coins. ”

"Hiss......" After hearing Yang Ying's words, Lu Bu and the Wu clan patriarch both gasped, their faces full of disbelief.

Although they had long heard that Li Zhi was rich, they didn't expect Li Zhi to be so rich.

If Yang Ying didn't lie to them, wouldn't that mean that the hussar general had the wealth of the world?!

In fact, this is also because they don't understand the truth that things are scarce and expensive.

When Li Zhi was sorting out his money, he found that if he exchanged all his gold, silver and jewelry departments for copper coins, there would be no money available in the world!

After discovering this, Li Zhi immediately made a decision, and after changing a warehouse of copper coins, he never exchanged them for copper coins again.

Because he knows that once there are fewer copper coins in the world, the value of the copper coins may exceed that of gold! After all, scarcity is expensive.

Therefore, in order not to depreciate his money, Li Zhi did not continue to exchange money, but stored his money in the form of gold, silver and jewelry.

The reason why he did this was because, although it was true that copper coins were used as the currency of trade among the people.

But among the princes, the gold, silver, and jewels were even more valuable.

For example, when he bought grain from Jizhou, Xuzhou and other places, he asked people to bring a batch of gold, silver and jewelry to exchange for grain.

And those families also accepted gold, silver, and jewelry as currency, and gave the grain to his grain team with satisfaction.

Therefore, today, the common people use copper plates, and those high-ranking officials and nobles use gold, silver and jewelry.

It was precisely because of this that Li Zhi did not continue to change the copper plate.

And he knew that in the future, Dong Zhuo would definitely use Liu Xie's name to send some inferior coins.

Because that's what Dong Zhuo did when he was poor in history.

Now that Dong Zhuo is poorer than in the original history, he will definitely be even more crazy about issuing bad coins!

In this way, copper coins are even less valuable.

But the patriarch of the Wu clan and Lu Bu didn't know what Li Zhi was thinking, and they were very shocked that Li Zhi was so rich.

After being shocked for a while, the patriarch of the Wu clan let out a long breath, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I really didn't expect the hussar general to be so rich.

A certain family was still thinking that after taking refuge in the hussar general, they would take out ninety percent of the family's money and hand it over to the hussar general.

Now that I think about it, this idea of a certain family is simply terrible!

I'm afraid that a certain family just handed over all the money and wealth of the family to the hussar general, and the hussar general didn't bother to take a look. ”

After saying this, the patriarch of the Wu clan shook his head a little disappointed.

He had also planned to use his money to befriend the hussar general.

Originally, he thought that the hussar general must be very poor without the support of the family.

Even if he had accumulated some money at the beginning, he would definitely have spent it after taking the entire Luoyang under his command.

However, now hearing Yang Ying say this, the patriarch of the Wu clan was immediately dumbfounded.

With Li Zhi's current financial resources, there is no problem in supporting millions of people for ten years, how can he be used to help?!

The patriarch of the Wu clan was about to be dumbfounded, but Lu Bu on the side was indeed dumbfounded.

At the beginning, Lu Bu betrayed Ding Yuan because of millions of gold, silver and jewelry.

Now after hearing about Li Zhi's family wealth, Lu Bu couldn't wait to slap himself unconscious.

At this time, his heart was full of self-deprecation and thought, "A certain family is really short-sighted!"

If at the beginning, a certain family tried to take refuge in the hussar general, how could they be humiliated later?

The hussar general casually reveals a little money, and it is more than a million!

Alas...... Regret not at the beginning, regret not at the beginning! ”

But then he rejoiced again, and thought to himself, "It's not too late, now that I've taken refuge with the hussar general, he won't do me any wrong."

Maybe it won't be long before I'll be rich! ”

After thinking of this, Lu Bu fell into a world filled with small money.

When Yang Ying heard that the patriarch of the Wu clan planned to return the family's money to Li Zhi, he asked curiously, "Master Wu, how much money do you have in your family?" ”

When the patriarch of the Wu clan heard this, his spirit was shocked, and he said proudly, "No matter how you say it, the Wu family is also a big family that has gone through hundreds of years.

Therefore, although the money in my family is not as good as that of the hussar generals, it is also millions! ”

"Millions?" After Yang Ying scratched the back of her head, she asked with a puzzled face, "Is this a lot?" ”

"Of course!" After hearing Yang Ying's words, the patriarch of the Wu clan retorted anxiously, "Millions of money is enough to support an army of hundreds of thousands for three years, why is it not much?!" ”

"Really?" After hearing the words of the Wu clan patriarch, Yang Ying muttered to himself with a blank face: "In other words, a certain family can now support 100,000 people for three years?" ”

"Uh......" When the patriarch of the Wu clan heard this, he looked at Yang Ying with a shocked face, and stammered and asked, "Make... What did the messenger mean by that?

Do you also have millions of dollars? ”

"Ah," Yang Ying replied nonchalantly, and said, "Not only me, but all the generals under the lord's command have a part in the lord's caravan.

I don't know exactly how much money I have now, though, because I've never brought money from my lord.

However, I have heard from my wife that I seem to have saved millions of dollars with my lord.

The lord told me to hurry up and bring the money back home, so as not to occupy a place for him.

But because the envoy was delayed, a certain family did not bring the money back.

However, after going back this time, a certain family will have to build a large warehouse and bring the money back. ”

Wu Clan Patriarch "......"

Lu Bu "......"

Lu Bu and the patriarch of the Wu clan were both stunned after hearing that Yang Ying was not showing off.

They didn't expect that Yang Ying, who doesn't pay attention to food and clothing, and is usually very sloppy, would be so rich.

"Wait a minute!" After being stunned for a while, Lu Bu suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked Yang Ying with an anxious face, "Envoy, you just said that all the generals under the command of the hussar general have a part of his caravan?"

In other words, all the generals under the command of the hussar general are just like you, very rich?! ”

"That's right" Yang Ying didn't know why Lu Bu was so excited, and after nodding with a blank face, he said, "The lord said that all the people who work for him have a share of the caravan.

Therefore, the generals under the command of these hussar generals have never been short of money. ”

"What about me?" After hearing this, Lu Bu impatiently pointed to himself and asked, "Then do I have any members?" ”

"Of course!" After Yang Ying nodded, he said as a matter of course, "You are extraordinary, after joining the command of my lord, of course the lord will give you some shares."

Not only you, but after the head of the Wu family joins my family lord and makes some contributions, my family master will also give him a share. ”

"Great!!" After hearing Yang Ying's words, Lu Bu was so happy that he almost didn't jump up.

Seeing that Lu Bu was so happy, Yang Ying asked with a puzzled face, "Why are you so happy?" It's just about the money, what's the big deal.

When you join my lord, you'll find that you don't have anywhere to spend your money. ”

"Uh......" Lu Bu, who was happy, was immediately stunned when he heard Yang Ying's words.

Then, he asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by that?"

How could there be no place to spend money? Is there no place to sell things in Luoyang City? ”

Lu Bu knew that money was only meaningful if it was spent, and if it couldn't be spent, it would be just a pile of scrap copper.

"Not really!" Yang Ying shook his head and said, "Luoyang is more prosperous than ever under the governance of my lord, and there are countless places to sell things, but it's just ......"

After saying this, Yang Ying smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that the treatment of my lord is too good, and I don't have a chance to spend money at all."

The food, clothing, housing and transportation departments of our waiting are all handled by the lord, and they use the best things.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift!

When I'm used to the good stuff, how can I use it to buy the bad stuff?

Therefore, although we have a lot of money, we can't send it out at all! ”

"This ......" Lu Bu asked with a strange face after hearing Yang Ying's words, "So, doing things under the command of a hussar general, money doesn't have much effect?" ”

"It's not," Yang Ying shook her head and said, "The lord also discovered this, so the lord made some excellent wine with a more delicious taste, and then sold it to me and others in the form of a bid."

Recently, I heard that the lord is developing some luxury things, and once the research and development is successful, then we will have a place to spend money! ”

"......" Lu Bu's face became even more strange after hearing Yang Ying's words, and said, "Doesn't that mean that the money I waited for eventually went to the hussar general?" ”

When Yang Ying heard this, she nodded helplessly, and said, "It's not wrong for you to say that."

But we are not a place where we don't spend money, as long as you want, you can always spend it.

Before a certain family went on an envoy, they heard that the two brothers Yan Liangwen and Chou were building their own mansions on a large scale.

They plan to build their mansion into the most beautiful mansion in Chang'an!

I heard that their steps are all paved with white marble, and there are no lights in the house, and they are all lit by night pearls.

Moreover, he paid the masons who built him houses several times as much as others.

The two of them have been called losers by the scholars in Luoyang City! ”

"Hahaha......" After Lu Bu heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, and said loudly while laughing, "Those soldiers are just jealous!"

The more I listened, the more I wanted to go to Luoyang earlier! Drive...! ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu hurried towards Luoyang.

Seeing this, Yang Ying and the patriarch of the Wu clan glanced at each other, and they could only speed up and follow him towards Luoyang.

Because of the speed, it didn't take half a day to arrive in Luoyang.

When they arrived at the gate of Luoyang, they saw a group of people standing there, smiling and waiting for them......
