12 Battle Dawn II

Boundary Bridge, Gongsun Chan Camp.

"Smack!" Gongsun Zhan slapped several cases and said angrily: "Xuande actually taught me to forbear for the time being!" In the past few days, the boundary bridge has not been attacked, the soldiers have been killed and wounded, and Gongsun Chan is also irritable, and he has killed several generals who are unfavorable for attacking the city, but he still can't attack it.

Changshi Guan Jing was a little puzzled, took the letter on the ground and unfolded it: "...... The former Zongzheng Bo Angong, who had great kindness with his younger brother, was known to be loyal and diligent to the royal family...... Outside the plug, the enemy of the brother is also; Liaodong Gongsun Du, the wolf is unpredictable......"

When Liu Bei wrote this letter, he didn't know that Gongsun Yue was dead, mainly to persuade Gongsun Zan not to conflict with Liu Yu for the time being, and said that he was erecting enemies on all sides, which was actually the way to cause trouble. Gongsun Zhan was already holding his stomach, he heard that Liu Bei had a messenger coming, and it was a good thing, but he thought that he was preaching to himself, how could he not be annoyed.

The messenger was so frightened that he fell to the ground and trembled. Guan Jing saw that he was just annoying to stay here, and waved his hand to signal his soldiers to help him down to rest. Gongsun Zhan relieved his breath a little, glanced at Guan Jing, and said angrily: "Shiqi (Guan Jingzi), what do you think, what does Xuande mean by this?" I'm dead brother, is that all!"

"Lord, I see that this letter has been delayed on the road for a long time, when Xuande Gong wrote the letter, he must not have known that the second general had been killed, so he ......" Seeing Gongsun Zhan's anger, Guan Jing tried to enlighten.

Gongsun Zhan stopped impatiently: "Pick the key point, Xuande won't hurt me!"

"Lord, Xuande Gong's words are not unreasonable, our army is surrounded by enemies, Liu Yu, Saiwai Zhuhu, Yuan Shao, all do not have to want to get rid of the lord and then quickly, as for Gongsun Du, although he is afraid of the prestige of the lord, in fact, it is also unpredictable, once there is a change, and the state is far away from the danger, it is difficult to help each other, according to Jing, it is better to forbear for the time being, as Xuande Gong said."

"Bastard!" Gongsun Zhan's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "My brother died, how can it be so cheap Yuan Shao?" ”

Guan Jing saw that although Gongsun Zhan had an angry face, he had calmed down a little, and said with a slight smile: "Revenge is to be avenged!" However, as Xuan Degong said, at the moment, our army does not have the ability to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and if the lord wants to take revenge, he has to wait until he kills Liu Yu before making preparations!"

"Liu Yu!" A fierce light flashed in Gongsun Zhan's eyes, and he said hatefully: "Liu Yu'er, it's good for me, I naturally won't let him go!" After a pause, he said with great discouragement: "But now that I have hit here, if I don't kill his two people from the Yuan family, how can I be worthy of the second brother's spirit in the sky, and how can I eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

"Lord, as long as this boundary bridge is pulled, everything is not up to the lord?" Guan Jing smiled slightly and enlightened.

Gongsun Chan nodded, stood up violently, strode out of the tent, and shouted: "Prepare the horse, take Lao Tzu's horse lance, and kill the enemy with Lao Tzu!"

"Roar~~"

…………

Jinyang.

"Childe, it's all thanks to your idea, Lao Su and I overcharged more than thirty percent for this trip." Zhang Shiping smiled happily and said happily. Beside him, Su Shuang, who was protected by Liu Bei when he was selling horses in Zhuo County, and jointly funded Liu Bei's army, was all happy, and it seemed that he had been living a good life recently. Both of them were Zhongshan businessmen, and in the years when Liu Bei was in charge of Zhongshan, the two relied on the iron relationship with Liu Bei, and their power expanded dramatically, and their wealth increased several times in just two years, which really made people red. Later, the two saw that Liu Bei was transferred to Bingzhou, and privately summed it up, the water in Jizhou was too deep, and he had a close relationship with Liu Bei, and he might not agree with the new parents. Only then did they sell their family wealth, and the family moved to Bingzhou with Liu Bei, and donated a lot of family wealth to fund the reconstruction of Bingzhou, anyway, they have an old relationship with Liu Bei, so they naturally know that Liu Bei is not the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, and is not afraid of losing his money.

Because Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping are also old relations, Liu Feng mobilized the craftsmen to make a new drum of cheap and high-quality Zhengxin paper to sell to the first section of the thirteen states of Dahan through the business name of the two of them, and then let them buy grain cattle and iron tools for Bingzhou from all over the country, which further enriched the strength of Bingzhou. The state was able to stabilize quickly, and the two of them contributed a lot. Of course, there is no small profit.

It can be said that in addition to participating in military aircraft and battlefield killings, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping can also be regarded as Liu Bei's original servants, and except for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong, their qualifications are older than anyone else. Of course, this is just a private joke between the two of them, after all, they are merchants, Shinong businessmen, and businessmen are the most unworthy of the table, and they can't even wear silk. And a wealthy businessman like the Zhen family in Zhongshan has such a high status, so he can marry Yuan Shao and enter and leave the general's hall, not because they are rich, but because the Zhen family has "two thousand stones", which is also a high-ranking family. Of course, the fact that the Zhen family is rich is also a big reason.

Liu Feng smiled slightly and said, "Two, I still have an idea, you can see if you can open more doors and make a good profit." ”

The two were overjoyed: "Although the son commands, the two of us are all obedient!"

"That's right, as you know, I have thousands of copies of the original royal secret book in Zhengxin Academy, and this one has no other semicolon. Some time ago, I had a few more copies copied, and I asked for a copy myself. Pick out dozens of copies and give them to them, so that they can sell them!"

"Sell? Selling books? The two of them were taken aback, and both of them spoke a little unfavorably. It is no wonder that the two of them were surprised, in this era, not only is paper expensive, but books are also hand-copied, and they must be copied neatly, but there must be no mistakes and omissions, which is extremely labor-intensive and mental, so that books are inevitably sacred. There have always been only borrowed and sent, and I really haven't heard of them being sold. At the beginning, Liu Feng mobilized the students of Zhengxin Academy to copy books for the academy, and each person was paid wages, but many students were still opposed, preferring to do day work, and they were happy to do it, because it was rumored that the sages were the supreme glory of scholars and could not be stained with copper stench. Even Cai Yong also objected, and later heard Liu Feng say that it was to solve a few life problems for those poor students, so he agreed.

Moreover, this book is hand-copied, and the paper is expensive, and the price of a book is even more low, ordinary people can't afford it at all, and those who can afford it, which one is not rich in the world? Rich and wealthy, naturally there is a collection of books in the kind of person, there is a collection of books, why buy it, and the purchase may not have any typos or omissions.

Looking at the surprised appearance of the two, Liu Feng smiled slightly: "Don't be surprised, the price of this book will not be three to five times higher than the price of paper, in fact, it is one or two times more expensive than this paper, and it is also profitable." Of course, how to price in the future, the two of them are better than me, and naturally the two of them have the final say. Since he thought of selling books, he naturally also considered all kinds of feasible and unfeasible things, otherwise how could he be so whimsical.

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping glanced at each other, both of them were a little incredible, but looking at Liu Feng's confident appearance, they were a little moved, the price of a book is three or five times that of paper, it is indeed not expensive, and it can even be said that it is cheap. Su Shuang hesitated and said: "Childe must have another wonderful method, please teach me the two of you?" ”

Liu Feng smiled: "Do you have seals on the two of you?" ”

"Seals?" The two were stunned, although they were puzzled, they still took out their respective seals from their bodies and handed them to Liu Feng.

However, with a cup of tea, the two profiteers who followed Liu Bei all the way from Zhongshan to sell their wealth shouted in their hearts: Strange goods can live, strange goods can live!

……

After saying goodbye to Su and Zhang, Liu Feng returned home, and the next person came to report, and his father Liu Bei asked him to go to the conference room when he came back, and he had important things to discuss. In the past few days, not only Tian Feng and Zhong Xuan have to worry a lot about the problem of money and grain in the state, but Liu Bei and his son are also eager to be able to pick up sparrows and mouses, and scrape the ground three feet out. Although Liu Feng is a knowledgeable individual, he also seems to have a lot of ways to turn money out, but after all, this is not something that can be done in a day or two.

Moreover, even if he has some "creative ideas" and borrows things from later generations to this era to change money and food, it is not something that can be done by just thinking about it. After all, he only knew how to use it, not make it himself, he knew what was needed in this era, but he didn't know how to get these things out, so he had no choice but to find ways to enlighten those craftsmen and let them invent and create them themselves. Like papermaking, the best positive paper in this era is just an unqualified product in his opinion. It's just that he doesn't know what materials are needed to make paper, which processes, he only knows that paper can be made cheaper and better quality, so the craftsmen themselves can continue to develop in this area. And Fang just enlightened Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping's printing, he has also heard of movable type printing, one of the four major inventions, the breakthrough of Bi Sheng in the Song Dynasty, the same, how to do it, he doesn't understand, just leave it to others to think, although it is slow, after all, the effect is still there.

When they arrived at the conference room, Tian Feng Zhong Xuan and Jian Yong were there, and Zhao Yun and Gao Ran, the two leading generals in Jinyang, were also there. After saluting a few people, Liu Feng went to the side and sat down. Liu Bei took a letter and handed it to him. Liu Feng swept slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, this is a letter from Yuzhou, saying that it was Gongsun Yue who died in Yangcheng.

In the eyes of others, Gongsun Zhan's younger brother died when he died, at most, that is, how much impact his death would have on the relationship between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao, and how he should deal with it. For Liu Feng, this is a real lack of relatives. When he was still in Liaodong, he had a good relationship with this resolute and upright uncle, and from Wan'er's side, the two are now relatives, although they haven't seen each other for many years.

Dimeral: Writing about the Three Kingdoms, it is already a big boo to have a crossing public, and if you add some super-era technology, it seems a bit excessive. But I think whoever it is, as long as he knows that these things can make him more efficient and comfortable, and just ask him to make a little bit of a mouthful, he probably won't object.
