Chapter Twenty-Five: God Gives Me Too
This is Guan Ping's development strategy, if it is really like Liu Bei and others said, open a branch to make money, how much can it earn?
Liu Bei and others just wanted to solve the problem of money and food, and Guan Ping was thinking about how to expand his strength. In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, strength is king.
As long as Liu Bei is before the Battle of Chibi, he can have 20,000 elite soldiers. When Cao Cao went south, Liu Cong surrendered. Guan Ping dared to instigate Liu Bei to go south to attack Fancheng and occupy Xiangyang.
With Liu Bei's prestige in Jingzhou, the turmoil caused by Liu Biao's illness and death, going south to Xiangyang is definitely not a dream. As long as you control Xiangyang, you can control the four counties of Jiangling and Jingnan.
When the time comes, it is okay to abandon Xinye, arrange Fancheng with elite soldiers, and resist at the front with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals.
It only takes a few months for Liu Bei to settle Jingzhou with the help of Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others.
At that time, you can even block Cao Cao without uniting with Sun Quan.
After all, although Cao Cao sits in the north, he has a million soldiers. However, there is Gongsun Du in the north, Ma Chao and Han Sui in the west, and Sun Quan in the south, so it is impossible to use the troops of the whole country.
According to some historical records, Cao Cao went south with only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, annexed Liu Biao's army of more than 100,000, and at the time of the Battle of Chibi, there were only 200,000 soldiers and horses.
Sun Quan and Liu Bei are working together, but they are only 50,000 elite soldiers.
The Sun-Liu alliance won, if Liu Bei can annex Jingzhou and deploy defenses in Fancheng, there is no reason why he can't win.
If Liu Bei occupied Xiangyang, it would be very different from the situation in history. To put it simply, the strength has increased a lot.
Liu Bei can bring more soldiers and horses when he enters Yizhou, he can occupy Yizhou faster, and even annex Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Instead of the general in history, Zhang Lu was defeated by Cao Cao, and then Cao Cao migrated the people of Hanzhong to the north.
On the Jingzhou side, Guan Yu must be in Jingzhou, and his strength is much stronger than in history. In addition, Guan Ping reminded Guan Yu to guard against Sun Quan, and it would not be as in history.
Guan Yu launched the Battle of Xiangfan, which shocked Huaxia, and Cao Cao wanted to move the capital to Yecheng. As a result, looking back, Sun Quan was a despicable child and actually stole his family.
Tragic.
If this plan is followed, then Shu Han will certainly have a lot to do.
Of course, this is only on paper at present, and it is not Guan Ping's decision to do it or not. Guan Ping just provided the idea and strength that could be used to recruit troops for Liu Bei.
How to fight at that time is a question that Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others should think about, and they naturally take the lead in the charge.
Guan Ping talked eloquently, and on the other hand, although Liu Bei and the helpers were stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, they also felt excited.
In fact, Liu Bei and others are not so stupid.
I just don't know how to do business.
If you follow the ideas of Liu Bei and others, it is to open a store to solve the problem of money and food. Even if you can derive the idea of buying servants, slaves, and maids to expand the population.
But they may also follow the general line of thought and send someone to buy it. But it is too risky to send someone to buy it, Jiangdong and Yizhou are not peaceful, and Liu Biao does not want Liu Bei to become bigger.
However, relying on the sale of liquor, Shinno's commercial activities were raised, and a large number of merchants from the north, south, east and west converged, which was a tax at the same time.
It also brought prosperity to commerce, if Liu Bei needed servants, slaves and maids, this was a big business, merchants did not need Liu Bei's orders, they could buy slaves and maids that the big families did not want, and the servants came to sell.
Liu Bei bought these slaves and servants, and he could greatly expand the entrance.
It's a business thing. And with strength, you can expand strength. Of course, Liu Bei and the others know this, and there is no need for Guan Ping to say more, they will do better.
Although a gang of helpers is not helpful in business, and their ideas are rubbish, they can at least settle the people and manage the people easily.
Training soldiers, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Chen Zhi and others, any one of them is better than Guan Ping.
With the population, the army, and these generals, Liu Bei only lacks Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others who give advice, and they are the dragon into the sea, and there is a lot to be done.
Guan Ping.
You can Erlang's legs and enjoy the life of the second ancestor.
Flattered.
"Hahaha, good, great. Ping'er, the heavens have given you to me. Liu Bei pondered carefully, felt that there was a lot to be done, suddenly laughed, and stretched out his hand to touch the horn on Guan Ping's head, and his affection was beyond words.
Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and other helpers also smiled and looked at Guan Ping with admiration. This kid is not only righteous and squandering money, but also open-minded and has a good reputation.
And he's a petty strategist.
Ten-year-old horned boys, they have seen a lot. But mostly in the reading stage, or fooling around. Let's not say that Guan Ping said a plan, let's just say that Guan Ping can say a word, Liu is lenient on the outside, and he is afraid of the lord's words inside, which proves that Guan Ping is not an idle boy.
It's not false to say a word about the ministers.
There was a miracle plan for Ganluo at the age of twelve, and he was the secretary at the age of twelve. Guan Ping can come up with ideas at the age of ten, which is not shocking.
It's just a little ashamed of the helpers, but I didn't expect that we were decades old, but we were not as good as a general corner boy who could help.
Shame shame.
In addition to being ashamed, there are very few people who are jealous.
Liu Bei's atmosphere here is very good, and most of the helpers are gentlemen. If he is not a gentleman, who will follow Liu Bei and never abandon him.
After that, there was nothing to do, and Liu Bei discussed with the helpers how to set up a bazaar and collect commercial taxes. But they also encountered a problem, although they have good wine, how to let the world know that Xinye has good wine?
It's an advertising issue.
Since Guan Ping opened his mouth, he naturally sent the Buddha to the west. Guan Ping said: "Simple. The lord has prestige in Jingzhou, and the scholars often come to Xinye to visit the lord, and the lord sends people to send invitations, inviting the scholars and heroes to come to the meeting, and take out the wine to entertain them. The lord entrusted the name of this to the Mi family's business, and asked them to go to the Mi family to buy wine. Sooner or later, this wine will spread all over the world. By the way, I asked the lord to name the wine, which is called Mishi wine. ”
Guan Ping's approach has great benefits.
Liu Bei is used to being generous, if the guests ask for wine, Liu Bei will definitely send it for free. Under the name of Mi's family, if the guests want to drink, they have to go to Mi's house to buy it.
Of course, you can also use the name of the Guan family, but there is no need, Guan Ping is afraid of trouble. Guan Yu will definitely not do this kind of thing, if the matter is handed over to the Guan family, it will not fall on Guan Ping?
Don't do it, don't do it.
I was born as the second ancestor, hugging happy people left and right.
However, after Mi Zhu heard this, he was a little ashamed and said, "Lord, this matter is Guan Ping's idea. The name should also be used to close the family, how can I make the Mi family earn a good reputation. ”
Guan Ping doesn't care about fame and fortune, but Mi Zhu is also a true gentleman.
Liu Bei was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and the reason is this. This recipe was still offered by Guan Ping, and he couldn't repay it, he was already very ashamed.
This is called Mi's wine, and even its reputation is gone, which is too bad. Guan Ping waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Mi doesn't need to shirk, I, Guan Ping, am just playing tricks, let me really go to receive those businessmen, maybe it will be a big deal." On the contrary, he treats people and things, and Mr. Mi is a master. Besides, although this business is done by the Mi family, it is the lord who benefits. Everything is mainly about the Lord's affairs. ”
