29 Liu Feng's idea was not surprising, that is, these horses were sold at a discount through merchants to the Kwantung princes who participated in the negotiation of Dong, and the money obtained was used to buy agricultural tools and grain, and to settle the millions of subordinates of the Montenegrin army, and the Montenegrin army would henceforth be incorporated into the ruling order of the annexed prefectures and subordinate to the governance of the local governors. 3

Of course, some of this has to be taken out as a reward for the Bingzhou Army and the Liaodong Army, but there is no doubt that the Black Mountain Army took the biggest share of the cake, as for Liu Bei's father and son, in Liu Feng's words, as long as these war horses are handed over to the merchants of Zhongshan to deal with, it is enough, and there is no need to give preferential prices.

Liu Feng did not shy away from the relationship between Zhongshan merchants and himself, and Zhongshan also benefited. But then again, who will deal with these war horses is the same for both the state army and the Montenegrin army, Liu Feng's father and son have also contributed no matter what they say, and it is understandable to take some benefits.

"Hou Ye's method is good, but if some people take the money and are not satisfied, and insist on rebelling again and again, won't they be tired of the prestige of Xuande Gong and Hou Ye?" After listening to Liu Feng's suggestion, Wen Yu first didn't say a word, then glanced at Zhang Yan meaningfully, and sneered: "I don't know if what Zhonglang will think Wen said, is it reasonable?" ”

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty once recruited Zhang Yan, and the general of Pingyan Zhonglang was the official position granted by Liu Hong to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan only didn't seem to listen to Wen Yu's words, took a sip of wine, and said with a slight smile: "Master Hou's maintenance of Montenegro, Zhang Yan is very impressed. It's just that I, a million subordinates in Montenegro, were originally good people of the Han Dynasty, and I had no choice but to follow the great sages and good teachers when I was desperate. If Zhang Yan put down the knife in his hand today, he was afraid that someone would come to the door to detain him if he understood, and a pavilion chief would be enough to put Zhang Yan to death. "Actually, Zhang Yan's difficult Zhonglang will seal the letter, but I'm afraid he won't be able to find it himself.

"So, you're going to fight again?" Gongsun Zhan heard that it was not a taste, and snorted coldly, "It's okay, we don't want the rest of the horses in Liaodong, so let's let the two of you divide it equally, how do you want to fight, and you can fight it yourself!" ”

Wen Yu and Zhang Yan are both discolored.

Liu Bei stopped and said with a smile: "Bo Qimo said such frustrating words, how can the endless battle be the original heart of Duke Wen and Ziyi (Zhang Yanzi)?" In order to prepare for a shallow view, and the state is vast and sparsely populated, since a piece of land can be set aside to hand over to Ziyi to govern, Ziyi is the general of the Han Dynasty, guarding the border and the people is also their duty, and the rest of the people are under the rule of the counties of the state, and they are the good people of the Han Dynasty. If Ziyi thinks that Wen Taishou and the others are not doing well, he can resume the matter again and ask for the people's lives. Otherwise, please Ziyi in the name of the Han Dynasty Ping Zhonglang General, collect the traces and collect the traces, belong to one side of the shepherd, and protect the peace of my Han side! ”

(Note: Zhang Yanshi does not contain his words, and his words are called Ziyi in this book)

After saying that, Liu Bei turned to Wen Yu again, and said solemnly: "Duke Wen, Fang Jindong Zhuo is in chaos, and loyal and righteous people are rising up in the opposition, don't think about going to the country to get rid of filth, and return me to a good man." As the head of the county magistrates of the state, as long as Wen says a word, he is willing to protect Ziyi, if Ziyi is looking for trouble for no reason in the future, although he is thousands of miles away, he can also mention the division of a brigade for the state! ”

Destroying the Black Mountain Army, others don't believe it, Liu Bei said this, but Wen Yu was convinced, it was Zhang Yan, no matter what reason he would raise his troops in the future, but I was afraid that he would have to control his own size.

Thinking about this, Wen Yue knelt down and bowed respectfully to Liu Bei, and said: "With Xuande Gong as a guarantor, Wen naturally believes it!" "In fact, if the state army can destroy the Montenegrin army, how can Zhang Yan be arrogant to this time? Over the years, the Montenegrin Army and the Bingzhou Army have been fighting back and forth, and no one can eat each other, but in the end they are tired, but they are still themselves, even Wen Yu does not dare to guarantee whether he will accidentally let the Montenegrin Army be destroyed one day. What's more, he is not an ambitious person, he is already very satisfied to be able to go from a small official to a county guard, and he only wants to protect the territory and the people, and avoiding the harassment of the Montenegrin army and the Saiwaihu people is the highest goal in his life.

Seeing Wen Yu so solemn, Liu Bei hurriedly got up and picked him up, and turned to look at Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan is not an ambitious person, and it is better to let the millions of people under his command live a stable life than the head of the chicken rather than the queen of the cow. can settle these millions of people, and do not deprive themselves of their military power, once there is a change, it will not be possible to rebel again. Immediately bowed down in front of Liu Bei, and said proudly: "If I can make millions of people in Montenegro have a family and a pastoral family from now on, and no longer live this life of suffering and suffering, what does it matter if Zhang Yan is a hundred deaths!" ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and immediately asked Wen Yu and Zhang Yan to make a blood alliance, and he and Gongsun Zhan were the guarantors, and agreed that Zhang Yan could have 20,000 soldiers, immigrate 100,000 to live in the clouds temporarily, and the rest of the people lived nearby, and most of the proceeds from the sale of horses were used as their settlement expenses.

After Xianbei entered the Kou, the clouds were already dilapidated, Taishou Handan was killed in battle, and the officials were even more killed and injured, except for the old and weak women and children, there was almost nothing left. Handed over to Zhang Yan to govern, Wen Yu naturally has no opinions, and with Liu Bei's father and son as the guarantor, he can also trust it.

Seeing that the big thing had been decided, Liu Feng said that his old injury had not healed, resigned, and went to exchange feelings with Wan'er, leaving his father Liu Bei to engage in public relations there, and he was convinced of Liu Bei's strong affinity. 3 As for Zhang Yan, he and Zhao Yun are fellow villagers, and they have known each other since childhood, which has virtually shortened the distance between the two sides a lot.

The next day, Wen Yu issued an announcement with the order of Yanmen Taishou, informing him of the alliance with the Montenegrin Army and annexing the prefectures and counties. And Liu Bei did not stay in the clouds for long, after a little hastily settled, he took Liu Feng and Gongsun Zhan back to Zhongshan, while at the suggestion of Liu Feng, he quickly ordered Zhong Xuan to lead people to Bingzhou with grain and grass to supervise the handling of related affairs between the two sides, and at the same time, at the same time, Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping and Zhen Jia and other Zhongshan merchants quickly developed their ways, bought farm tools, grain and cloth, and also sold these war horses stranded in the clouds.

Su and Zhang, as the first businessmen to fund Liu Bei's start, have been living a prosperous life day by day since Liu Feng led Zhongshan Xiang, and because Liu Bei had released Qiu Liju as a horse, the safety factor of their horses sold outside the plug has been improved by several levels, and the supply of goods is even more stable, and there is a faint momentum of the first horse merchant in Jizhou. Of course, Liu Feng will not let them sit big, in their profits, the Zhongshan Prime Minister's Mansion occupies a large share, and the two of them seem to be the "imperial businessmen" of Zhongshan.

As for the people who buy horses, 10,000 war horses seem to be a huge number, but they are not worried that there are no buyers.

Taking Yuan Shao as an example, although Yuan Shao erected the banner of Dong Daqi in just one or two months, Yuan Shao successfully relied on the connections of the Yuan family and the network he had operated for many years. The wealthy families in Jizhou are all connected with him, donating money and food, etc., and the brand value of the Yuan family is really not easy. Even the Zhongshan Zhen family, which has a close relationship with Liu Bei's father and son, also had a hot fight with them, and heard that Yuan Shao was going to raise troops to fight against Dong, and the Zhen family invested no less money on Yuan Shao than on Liu Bei.

It's just that Yuan Shao is not short of money, food, or people, but he has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, he lacks war horses, and high-quality war horses are even more priceless.

Although there has been no shortage of horses since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains is not a grassland after all, and it has never been a good horse production area. After the introduction of good horses into the Central Plains from outside the Saiwai, the quality began to decline only one or two generations, and after a few generations, they were almost no different from ordinary Central Plains horses. It is because of the importance of war horses in the Han Empire, which repeatedly introduced good horse breeds from outside the Saiwai, and even did not hesitate to wage war for this, which could not fundamentally solve this problem.

If these captured war horses were to be resold to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, it would undoubtedly be a good thing to make a profit of hundreds of millions. Generally speaking, the price of war horses is five to ten times that of ploughing horses, chariot horses, and a high-quality war horse can still be worth five to 100,000 yuan in peacetime. However, the Xianbei people are also very helpless, they really sit on the gold mountain but can't eat or wear, so they have to carry the gold mountain to rob.

Of course, whether this golden mountain can be knocked down depends on whether the Han people have the ability.

steppe, and even the big tent.

He Lian's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he was choosing someone to devour, and the two rows on the left and right were the ten warriors who had gone with his father, or their sons and nephews. Gui Tehu was sitting heavily, holding a knife and cutting his half-baked leg of mutton very hard, with a nonchalant look, and the sound of the horn in his mouth was unappetizing.

"Everyone said, what do Han people mean by this?" After the battle in the clouds, Helian no longer had the prestige to suppress several uncles, and he was the first to run away, and he couldn't do anything to him. The reason why the uncles could still sit down and listen to his nonsense was because they had received the news that the Han people planned to exchange the captured Xianbei captives for war horses with the Wuhuan people.

"Why care about what Han people mean? Let Qiu Liju agree to the conditions of the Han people. The answer was a disrespectful old man, who only cared about gulping down wine, as if he had not even looked at it and lacked the mind to do so. Listening to what he meant, he wanted to make the Wuhuan people pay for the Xianbei people.

He Lian forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said unhurriedly: "How many horses is Uncle Suli going to give to the Wuhuan people?" ”

Su Li snorted coldly and said, "I don't know how many children I can come back, how many adults will watch it." ”

"Tsk!" Guite wiped his mouth with the dirty cuffs, made a noise and made everyone's eyes gather on him, and unhurriedly picked out the minced meat between his teeth, and when he was about to cut people with a knife, he burped unhurriedly, "I see, just tell Qiu Liju, saying that our Xianbei people are dying after this defeat, so let them cushion first." When the horses are fat next autumn, we will return them five thousand fat and strong horses, well, when the time comes, uncles, how many people you have returned are clear, right? As for those who died of illness and starvation, they were not counted, and they were given as much as they should be given. ”

"When that happens, will you give?" A pleasant voice in the corner replied coldly.

"Give! Why not give? Gui Tehu looked innocent, "Ade, although our tribe has the most people who will die, as long as one person comes back, we can still afford to give a few horses." Hehe, don't talk about these horses, as long as Uncle Ke doesn't object, I also brought it to you, oh, Uncle Ke? ”

"Haha, Gui Tehu is still so naughty!" A white-bearded old man in front of Adele laughed, turned around and glanced at his baby daughter, "Ade, what do you think?" ”

"My Ade's man, you have to conquer me with his knife first!" The corners of Ah Dai's eyebrows curled, and she sneered, "If Brother Gui Tehu is ready, Ah Dai's tent will be open for you at any time!" ”

"Just do what you say!" He Lian Han's face was blue, and he said gloomily.

………………………………………………………………………

The following words are not counted, today in order to check these information, it took me a lot of time, I can only change this one, it's too late, huh~~~~

………………………………………………………………………

What is the price of a war horse worth 100,000 yuan, I looked for the information, generally speaking, the value of war horses is ten times that of ploughing horses and chariot horses, because the Han Dynasty has extremely high requirements for war horses, and the elimination rate of war horses is very large. However, in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, the standard of war horses must be lowered. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the valley was worth hundreds of dollars per stone, and it was expensive if it was worth more than 1,000 yuan.

For example, the county guards 2,000 stone officials, the monthly salary is 120 Hu (one Hu is one stone), that is, 60,000 yuan, and the salary for two months is almost equal to the value of a good war horse, which is not too expensive, you can refer to what the monthly salary of civil servants in various countries is today, such as the annual salary of the President of the United States is 400,000 US dollars, and the vice president is 200,000 yuan. Of course, since ancient times, there have been few people who have been paid honestly, and it is simply impossible for civil servants to get rich on their salaries.

Another reference says that in the Han Dynasty, a slave and maid were worth 20,000 yuan, and a small maid was worth 15,000, which according to middle school textbooks, five slaves were equal to a horse and a bundle of silk. (Of course, the situation of five catties of white flour for a child in a famine year is not counted)

Again, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sold his official position, he was worth 10 million and 5 million. It is also said that the county guards 20 million, and the county orders 4 million. The three princes are ten thousand stones, and the monthly salary is 350 hundreds, that is, 175,000 yuan. Gong 10 million, that is to say, a "male" position is worth almost 100 good horses, and a county guard is worth almost 200 good horses (this may be understood as the magistrate is easy to do things with one hand, so the price is higher, hehe). A person who buys the position of the third prince will have to go without eating enough for almost 5 years to pay this money.

However, in this way, seizing 10,000 horses is equivalent to being able to buy 50 county guards and 100 three dukes, @##¥¥%0
