After the feast, Tian Xin led people to carry his 300 horses of Shu brocade and 1,000 horses of fine silk to Jiangling City.

The city is still the same as the original, and hurriedly led more than a dozen small officials and miscellaneous servants to greet him in front of the door: "The lower officials meet Tian Junhou." ”

"Don't be polite, I'm here to trade grain, it's a private matter."

Tian Xin said and stretched out his arms sideways, and the cars behind him were wrapped in Shu brocade and fine silk: "Are there Jiangdong grain merchants in the market recently?" If so, please refer me to me, I want to exchange all this for grain. ”

Shi Zheng still bowed: "It's just a trivial matter, it's just that the rewards of the King of Han are all high-grade Shu brocade, and Tian Junhou replaces the grain, which is afraid to make people laugh." ”

Tian Xin casually uncovered the fine linen cloth and said with a smile: "The cold are not greedy for jade and think short brown, and the hungry do not want to have a beautiful meal." The husband is more expensive than a short brown meal, and he is in a hurry. The king of Han made me still the lord of Weng, but the lord of Weng does not love this, I am willing to change it to grain and straw, and use grain as an employment. ”

The mayor of the city worshipped: "Tian Junhou is noble, and the lower officials will visit each house to find a high price." ”

"You can't use power for personal gain, you can trade according to the market price, and the amount of tax paid will also be deducted."

Tian Xin instructed, turned his head to look at Li Heng: "Shuping supervises this matter, and all the grain and straw should be stored in the grain depot in the city." ”

He also instructed the other troops to obey Li Heng's moderation, and led Tian Ji and Wang Zhi out of the city on horseback.

Outside the city, the shallow grass sprouted, Tian Xin and the three of them galloped lightly, and the black horse Mondo rushed to the front with joy, stopping from time to time to beat his nose and wait.

The texture of Yizhou fine silk is close to plain, and it is the top grade in silk, not to mention the Shu brocade that Liu Bei used to reward heroes.

As a monopoly specialty, the first-class Shu brocade is used at home, the second-rate Shu brocade flows into the market, and the third-rate Shu brocade is given to Jiangdong, which is the recent Shu brocade market.

The three hundred Shu brocades in Tian Xin's hands are already the best in the world.

Before the curfew in the city, this news spread everywhere, so that Shixie's son Shihui learned that Shihui was going to Chengdu as a hostage, because Sun Quan set up Guangzhou to cede Jiaozhou, Shihui stayed in Jingzhou, and was recruited by Guan Yu as a lieutenant of the military academy.

He convened his cronies Huan Zhi to discuss: "Now that the king of Wei is newly dead, the north will be in chaos, and the king of Han will be strong and prosperous for a while. And Hugu Hou is sharp and brave, and his fame is no less than Zhang Wenyuan, and he is the king of Han and the marquis of Guan, and he will be the pillar of the Han family in the future, and he will be better than Wei Huo. I want to collect all the brocade and silk, and transport 50,000 stones of rice to the state to trade with it. ”

Huan Zhi raised his hand and pinched his beard: "The Jiangdong soldiers are weak and want to use Hugu Hou to break the solidity of Hefei, if they use Hugu Hou to sacrifice rice to Jingzhou, Lu Dai will not dare to intercept it." You might as well have more, 100,000 stones? ”

After Jiangdong divided Jiaozhou, only five counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, Zhuya, and Hepu were left in Jiaozhou, and grain could be transported to Jingzhou through Yulin County and Cangwu County through the Pearl River, Lishui, and Xiangshui.

It may be that this is the first large-scale transportation of grain from Jiaozhou to the north since the Qin State opened up the Ling Canal.

The county guarded the mansion, Ma Jian returned to Jingzhou with the Yizhou fleet, and joined the army before moving Guan Yu from Chengdu.

According to the stable prices before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, about four horses of fine silk of good quality were worth one gold, and one gold could buy forty stones of grain.

Now that the prices are chaotic, the Shu brocade and fine silk thrown by Tian Xin are worth only 20,000 stone rice, or there is no husked rice.

Do not leave a fine Shu brocade, exchange all the rice, and take the rice as a dowry...... How can I say that there can be such a person who can do things!

boasted of being full of scheming, Ma Jian also had a strong sense of frustration at this moment: "Employed by doctors, it is really resourceful." ”

Ma Liangzheng flipped through the bamboo slips, and said disapprovingly: "It's just a strategy for power change, and it is important for my brother to divide the world." ”

He gave instructions on official documents, folded bamboo slips and bundled them, and some missed the Zuobo paper used in his youth, which was tough and exquisite, and very light.

It's a pity that because of the war, papermaking is not as good as farming, and farming is not as good as robbing with knives, and the decline of the paper industry is nowhere to be seen.

The two brothers sat side by side, and Ma Liang had time to ask Yizhou: "What does Brother Kong Ming think of Tian Xiaoxian?" ”

"Pillars of the nation."

After Ma Tan was silent for a while, he said: "There are generals such as King Han, Guan, Zhang, Ma, Zhao, Huang, Li, Wei, and Huang, who are young and humble. My brother's concern is ten or twenty years from now. Although the Yizhou generals were able to temper themselves after hard battles in Hanzhong, they were far inferior to Tian Xiaoxian's brave champions of the three armies. ”

Ma Liang was silent, and Ma Jian said: "When my brother heard about the battle of Xiangfan, Tian Xiaoxian climbed high and raised his arms and exhaled to make the three armies jump, so that Xiangyang Lu Chang committed suicide and forced the city to land in the fortified city with prestige, how many people can there be since the Yellow Turban?" ”

"During the battle of Jiangling, Tian Xiaoxian did not care about Jiangling's relationship with the country, and for his own false name, he set up a dangerous plan to break the tiger army under the city. Today's weak crown age is so bold and greedy for merit, it can be seen that in the future, it will definitely be beyond the balance of extraordinary people. ”

"When the battle of Houmai City was fought, he led thousands of soldiers to run rampant in the enemy's formation, like entering a no-man's land, like a god, and won the awe of the soldiers of all armies. When the Marquis of Guan Jun pointed directly at Sun Quan's main formation, all the armies enthusiastically competed for the lead, but only his Huya Army was stationed. ”

"At that time, if the Huya Army crossed the river and attacked, it might be able to capture Sun Zhong and plot to be depressed."

"And Jing Man and Wuxi Man do not restrict chiefs and warriors, they all regard Tian Xiaoxian as a god, and they all die happily."

Ma Tan was deeply worried, and sighed: "My brother thinks that after breaking Hefei and entering Nanyang, he can recruit Tian Xiao to enter the court first, or lead the Chinese army, or pawn the palace ban, and take the temperament first." ”

Jing Man, Wuxi Man is stubborn and lowly, and the ancestors have been in awe of the strength of the Han Dynasty for generations, and they have caressed each other with good words, which is the best source of soldiers.

Tian Xin is good, he has been holding the prestige and power of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, but he treats the barbarians equally, and he is suspected of using the prestige of the Han Dynasty to strengthen himself.

Seeing that Ma Liang also had a worried look, Ma Jian whispered again: "Tian Xiao first built the divine soldier Fang Tianhalberd, so he made the mystery false, which made Pu Yuan unhappy, and often slandered him. It is said that it is selfish, if the gods are sacrificed to cast secret methods, our army's combat equipment is sharp, and it can make the enemy fearful. The world has been decided, how many fewer people will die? Such a great benevolence, with the wisdom of Tian Xiaoxian, turned a blind eye, it can be seen that his heart is by no means pure. ”

"Alas, children should never speak of such words again. The world will change, and it is when Tian Xin and other powerful generals use force, and they should not corrupt the great cause of the Han King because of suspicion. ”

Ma Liang took a sip of tea, twisted his waist and took out a brocade bag from the cabinet, took out a scroll framed on plain silk from it and handed it to Ma Yan: "This Tian Xiaoxian's book "Thousand Character Text", I often read it. ”

Ma Jian carefully removed the candle and spread out the scroll, and suddenly his eyes became slightly round, his eyebrows stretched, and his face bloomed: "Wow...... Treasures of the world. ”

"Ugh."

Not wanting to hear Ma Liang's sigh, Ma Yan reluctantly raised his head: "Brother can raise Tian Xiaoxian to be filial piety?" ”

"No, I repeatedly persuaded him, but Tian Xiaoxian said that the respect of the general and then the filial piety and honesty were suspected of despising the officials in the army, which was the meaning of Guiwen and light martial arts. Now that he is the marquis of the knighted pavilion, the lord of Shang Weng, it is impossible to show filial piety. ”

Ma Liang was sad that he owed a lot of money: "He gave me "Thousand Character Essay", but I didn't have anything to reciprocate, I was really guilty." ”

Are Ma Liang and Ma Jian rich?

had no money, and when Liu Bei won the general school in Chengdu, Ma Liang assisted Guan Yu in Jingzhou, and only got a little soup.

In recent years, I have long lost my savings in Chengdu to buy industries.

As an aspiring official, Ma Liang has a frugal style, so he has no savings.

Is Ma Tan rich? No, there is Shu County law-abiding and law-abiding on the Chengdu Order, and Zhuge Liang is by his side to ask at any time, and Ma Jian has no money.

Is it to use the knowledge of the family?

Yicheng Ma is a branch of Fufeng Maoling Ma and has its own family heirloom.

In terms of seniority, Ma Liang and Ma Chao are of the same generation...... Surprised, surprised?

One is Ma Yuan's son and grandson who were killed because Dou Xian implicated the father and son, and the descendants took root in Liangzhou; One is the branch of Ma Yuan's nephew Ma Rong who stayed in Jingzhou for the development of Nanjun County, which is not considered Ma Yuan's bloodline, so this bloodline is very far away.
