Chapter 523: Fighting

The fleet of Zhang Fei and Liu Yong, the king of Qi, left, and it was the turn of the Wei envoy team.

Zhang Fei and Liu Yong returned to Qingzhou and took the Yangtze River, Misushui, Huaishui, and Huai Sishui roads.

The accompanying transport ships are connected end to end, passing through the wharf and bay, about 100 ships.

The Wei envoy team stood quietly, and Yuan Ao, who had a certain connection, naturally knew that this ship was loaded with looms and textile machinery parts made by Maicheng; After arriving in Qingzhou for reassembly, the textile industry in Qingzhou and Xuzhou can be quickly restored.

In addition to these, there are many ...... It is said that a lot of Shu brocade is the military expenditure allocated to Zhang Fei, and it is also the governance capital of the four states in the Kanto region.

It is difficult to investigate how much Shu brocade there is. There are not only rewards for Zhang Fei, but also for the start-up capital of the four eastern states, as well as rewards for Liu Yong. There are too many to count, but the bulk of the Shu brocade reward was carried out in the personal names of Zhang Fei and Liu Yong.

Shu brocade is money, the hard currency monopolized by the Han court.

It is the only controllable circulating capital in the DPRK and China, and the control and circulation of this capital must be as fair as possible.

Yuan Ao looked at the ships in front of him, this batch of transported Shu brocade has exceeded the category of 'many', it is possible that the storage of Shu brocade in Jiangdu has been moved away seventy percent, or even eighty percent.

With such a large tilt force, what will Beifu and Tianxin think?

Yuan Ao and the other Wei envoy team were thinking about the huge transport fleet, and Lu Yi was also looking at this fleet, he was walking with Zhuge Liang on the broad city wall of the southern city of Jiangdu.

With the influence of Beifu now, there is no need to infiltrate, and naturally someone will send relevant information to the door; What's more, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu are also clear in doing things, the new emperor succeeds to the throne and rewards them greatly, and the six families of the Sanke family, the prime minister, the king of Qi, and the acting king are the big heads of the rewards.

This is an account placed on the bright side, each family rewarded Shu Jin with more than 10,000 horses, and as few as Zhuge Liang only had 3,000 horses, but it was also the number of proud ministers.

But Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Li took out ninety percent of the Shu brocade to lend to Zhang Fei, which is 20,000 horses, plus 20,000 horses from Zhang Fei himself and Liu Yong, and 30,000 horses for Liu Yong's marriage, and 30,000 horses of Shu brocade for governance and reward in the four states of Kanto, a total of 100,000 horses of Shu brocade to be transported to Qingzhou.

After deducting the rewards of other princesses, clans, ministers, military nobles, and generals, there are less than 10,000 horses of Shu brocade in the entire river.

Tian Xin received 10,000 horses, Guan Ji himself 3,000 horses, and the officials of Beifu, Xiangzhou, and Lingnan were roughly rewarded with more than 25,000 horses, totaling 38,000 horses.

Lu Yi's task is to transport these Shu brocades in place and distribute them everywhere.

The fineness of Shu brocade is divided into high and low, although it is 10,000 horses of Shu brocade, of which the top grade, the treasure roughly maintains the scale of five percent.

Lu Yi watched from afar as the Wei envoy team was divided into two, and a small number of people such as deputy envoy Yuan Qian carried their bags or carried boxy rattan boxes and bamboo boxes made by Maicheng to board the ship one after another, and bid farewell to the scholars who remained.

Who would have imagined that after the mourning, these Wei envoys would buy a large amount of wheat city paper.

There are several varieties of Maicheng white paper, the most expensive and the worst selling is the origami paper, which was originally unsalable and was bought out by the envoys of the Wei State.

You don't have to think about it to know that this group of people is helping Cao Pi buy paper; Cao Pi also seems to have plans related to literary classics, and he urgently needs a lot of good paper.

Origami is almost the most legendary paper of all time, and it is extremely tough and smooth. There is a related legend in Beifu that Tian Xin once held a page of origami and cut seven cucumbers horizontally.

You don't have to think about it to know that the gold used by this group of people to buy paper must have been given to Cao Pi by Sun Quan buying horses and smashing pots and selling iron.

It's a pity that Cao Pi ate it dry and wiped it clean, and the good end sent Wu Guo to be in charge of the negotiation with a fire, and burned Sun Quan's ambition to swallow Qingxu and divide the world.

Of course, the fire of the full favor was also exchanged for 5,000 food towns, a total of 8,000 food towns before and after, and no one could find fault with it.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang quietly looked at the fleet in the distance, with a little request: "Bo Yan thinks that the world should be like in the future?" ”

"The prime minister shouldn't ask me, he should ask Zhang Huishu, or ask Chen Gong."

Lu Yi's voice was gentle, and he calmly said: "Although the system of the three divisions is simple, it is not an antidote. ”

The stubborn disease of the Han family is there, which is the struggle for imperial power and relative power, which extends to the repeated struggles of relatives and eunuchs.

The government is unstable, not to mention the endless problems of governing the world.

Disadvantages have accumulated for a long time, minor illnesses become major diseases, and major illnesses develop into incurable diseases.

The root cause is that there is a problem with the distribution of power, which is too rudimentary to deal with the increasingly complex social structure.

The social structure is getting richer and richer, and there are more and more forces vying for power, and killing alone will not solve the problem.

The Han system must be improved, but how to change it is a big issue.

Tian Xin has already put it into action, whether it is the Beifu Kaike Selection, or the Third Division and the Fifth Division, from the original Beifu military rank, to the current official rank of nine grades and eighteen ranks, they are enriching the ruling body, expanding the number of positions, and striving to build a balanced and self-consistent official system.

No one can say what the future holds.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang seemed to be waiting for his answer, Lu Yi said: "At this time and place, it is not a bad idea to be a hypocritical monarch and supervise the soldiers. ”

Since the imperial court was unwilling to rashly follow up on the reform of the official system, it would change its thinking and imprison the imperial power.

Once imprisoned, the power of eunuchs will be uprooted in the future, and there can be no excessive number of eunuchs, only a certain number of small eunuchs who are responsible for working as coolies.

It is also necessary to cut off the way for poor scholars and literate prisoners of war to become eunuchs, so that the eunuch class will lose educational opportunities and can only do some coolie work that palace maids can't do.

The eunuch class is restricted and eliminated, where else can the imperial power be extended?

Lu Yi said it easily, but Zhuge Liang still didn't respond.

The reality of the hypocrisy, the ultimate dream of many courtiers?

After the hypocrisy, if the prime minister is not supported by the military power, then it is not a complete phase power; With the support of the military power, it will lead to other problems.

But the Hypocrites have already begun to be implemented, whether it is the current Guan Yu, or the future successor to the ruling Zhuge Liang, and the third generation of the planned Deacon Tian Xin, will carry out the Hypocritical Monarch to the end.

But what about the relative rights?

If Guan Yu strengthens the authority of the ruling power, he will strengthen it again, and he will strengthen it again in Tian Xin's hands...... What are the consequences?

As far as the current situation inside and outside the country is concerned, Guan Yu's way of strengthening his ruling authority is to weaken Tian Xin; After he takes over as the ruler, he will cut a round of Zhang Fei's four Kanto states; In the future, Tian Xin will take over the deacon, and he will definitely cut down to strengthen the control of the center.

This knife is very important, is it cut in the Zongfan, or in Jiangdong, where the Song Principality is located?

For the future, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu don't want to think about it, they just want to work hard to do the things in front of them.

He looked at Lu Yi and finally spoke: "Bo Yan, may you help Song Gong and recover Guanzhong in one fell swoop?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Lu Yi pretended to be surprised: "When the Northern Expedition is coming, the officials of my northern mansion should strive to be the first and spare no effort. ”

"Bo Yan really thinks so?"

"Yes, this is the voice of the officials of my northern mansion."

Lu Yi's eyes were calm: "Xiaguan is confident, and he will attack Guanzhong one step ahead of the prime minister and recover Xijing." ”

In this regard, Zhuge Liang smiled with satisfaction: "Bo Yan is willing to do his best, I have no hatred." ”
