。。。

After leaving the Tao family, Liu Yi and others naturally don't know about the situation of the pottery merchant Tao Ying, but I have to say that the hidden people will always be so terrible, because you never know how many hole cards they have.

Back at the camp, Liu Bei and Liu Yi came to Zhao Yun's house.

Liu Yi sat on the chair without any image, and said with a smile: "Zilong, how are you preparing, we are about to leave, have you arranged to escort the army?" ”

After speaking, he took a sip of tea and looked around, and there were some books on Zhao Yun's table, and when he picked it up, it was actually Sun Tzu's Art of War, and there were other things for marching and fighting.

Liu Yi flipped through it curiously, different from the systematic Sun Tzu Art of War summarized in later generations, the Sun Tzu Art of War here is all some strategic Art of War, which shows that Zhao Yun also works weekdays.

Zhao Yun pulled a stool for Liu Bei, and said with a smile: "Ziang, don't worry, as long as the other party doesn't come tens of thousands of people to surround you, I promise to send you to Qingzhou safely." ”

Liu Bei also sat down with a smile, picked up the tea brewed on the table, and also noticed the book on Zhao Yun's desk, smiled without saying a word, and glanced at Zhao Yun again.

Liu Yi said with a smile: "That's good, my cheap life, mainly Xuande Gong, can't have a bad pool." ”

When Liu Bei heard Liu Yi's words, he pointed at Liu Yi and shook his head with a smile.

Usually Liu Yi's state is like this, Liu Bei has long been used to it, but this state that seems to be downbeat makes Liu Bei very comfortable, because Liu Yi is not too restrained because of the change of identity, that kind of former revolutionary friendship, it's really nostalgic to think about.

Liu Yi didn't care, anyway, Liu Bei is not the kind of person who attaches too much importance to etiquette, if Yuan Shao was here, Liu Yi would not dare to do this, and if he was not careful, his life would be gone.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Zilong's army is arranged, let's set off tomorrow, and take Chen Yuanlong with me by the way, otherwise I won't worry about him in Xuzhou, and I will go to Xuzhou Chen's house to take a turn when the time comes." ”

Liu Yi nodded and agreed, Zhao Yun saw that the two of them had obviously done a good job, so he simply shrugged his shoulders and had no opinion.

Early the next morning, Liu Yi set off with Liu Bei with a smile, followed by a thousand white-robed elites, all of whom were one person and two horses.

The leader is called Lao Li Tou, who has always been the leader of this elite team, and Liu Yi has also heard a lot of legends about Lao Li Tou along the way, yes, it is a legend.

Lao Li Tou was a naughty ghost when he was a child, the leading big brother of his peers, and he also teased other girls from time to time.

But this guy is lucky, although he was naughty when he was young, but there is a childhood sweetheart's sister, Lao Li Tou is also very protective of him, the two of them have no guesses, and everyone in the village thought that they might be happy for the rest of their lives.

It's a pity that fate always doesn't favor a person in particular, until one day, the bandits plundered their village, when the sixteen-year-old Li Tou desperately killed the bandits, but still could not prevent that from happening, the old Li Tou lay in a pool of blood, stabbed in the back a few times, a knife in the chest almost disemboweled, since then, the old Li Tou went to join the army, people don't talk much, especially disgusted with traitors and bandits, and his subordinates also know his story.

Liu Yi was a little embarrassed, this kind of story that happened to the protagonist is really everywhere, who made these Three Kingdoms an era of chaos. What happened to Lao Li Tou is by no means alone.

The army soon arrived at the door of Chen's house in Xuzhou, and a clever subordinate saw that the army stopped at the gate, and immediately rushed into the door to make a report, and did not even close the gate.

Liu Yi smiled and looked at everything that happened in front of him, and he didn't stop the next person, and he didn't go in when the door was opened, because Liu Bei in front of him hadn't spoken yet.

Chen Qi and Chen Deng came out to greet them at the same time, and the others didn't know Liu Bei and Liu Yi, but as soon as the next person described it, how could Chen Qi and Chen Deng not know Liu Bei, and they came out to greet them immediately when they got the news.

"Xuzhou Chen Family Chen Qi (Chen Deng) Meets Xuande Gong", Chen Qi and Chen Deng came out to bow their hands, everything was as natural as flowing water, as if it had been rehearsed a long time ago.

Liu Bei looked at them with a smile, nodded and said, "Don't be polite, don't you invite me in to do it?" ”

Chen Qi immediately reacted and said: "Xuande kilometers please, if you are sluggish, please also ask Haihan." ”

Then Liu Bei nodded and went in, and Liu Yi followed behind Liu Bei.

Chen Deng saw the two of them entering, and asked suspiciously: "Father, why did these two come to us, the Chen family has already expressed their attitude, how can it be?" ”

Chen Deng was a little flustered and a little puzzled, his attitude had already been clearly expressed, how could he still come to the Chen family, could it be that the matter was revealed, it was impossible, he Liu Bei was an outsider, which family would collude with him.

Chen Jue's face was calm, without any panic, and said: "What are you panicking, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, we will entertain him well when he comes, don't think about anything else." ”

Let's say it, Chen Jue put on a smiling face and walked in, and his voice came out inside: "Xuande Gong, Xuande Gong, please here, my legs and feet are not good, and I am running a little slowly." ”

Chen Deng nodded, and also laughed with his father.

The place where Liu Bei was received was very luxurious, how to say it, there was no gold and silver, but the chairs were made of sandalwood, the cups were also pure silver, and all kinds of things looked very precious, and it seemed that it should be the best reception place for the Chen family.

Liu Bei smiled and drank the tea, without any politeness or intention, Liu Yi was the same as Liu Bei, silent, drinking tea and eating snacks, as if the Chen family's dim sum was much better than other places.

Chen Deng's father and son looked at each other, and couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the two gourds in front of them, Chen Deng said with a smile: "I don't know why Xuande Gong suddenly visited the Humble House, although Xuande Gong said it, the Chen family must go to the soup and fight the fire." ”

Liu Yi rolled his eyes when he heard this, this is really a humble house in your house, and famous paintings and antiques abound.

Liu Bei put down the teacup, looked up at Chen Deng, and said with a smile: "The main purpose of this trip is to take Yuanlong to Qingzhou to take an important position, although Bei has not been in Xuzhou for a long time, he has also learned some things, Yuanlong is only eight buckets, Bei really can't bear to let you be buried in Xuzhou, come with me, go to Qingzhou, and do a big career." ”

Liu Yi watched Liu Bei brag and didn't make a draft, he couldn't be convinced, and he did a big job, and when he arrived in Qingzhou, it was estimated that he couldn't get out of the door under guard, and the right was absolutely impossible for Chen Deng to touch.

Liu Yi can understand, Chen Deng and Chen Jue can naturally understand, what are you kidding, they are not very familiar with Liu Bei, just because of Chen Deng's talent, they have to invite Chen Deng back to Qingzhou, and they have to give him an important position, and they don't believe it if they are killed, Liu Yi next to him is amazing, Zhiding Qingzhou, sweeping the yellow scarf, Chen Deng is ashamed of himself, and there are several strategists in Qingzhou, Chen Deng has also heard of it, and he can't even get a lot of rights when he goes there, how can he get a lot of rights, this naked conspiracy is really a proposition.

Chen Deng bowed and said with a smile: "Thank you Xuande Gong for your love, Deng thinks that he is a shallow learner, lest he miss the great cause of Xuande Gong, and dare not follow, and is willing to take care of the rear for Xuande Gong in Xuzhou, which will not affect Xuande Gong's conquest." ”

Chen Qi nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, the dog doesn't have any great skills, and besides, I'm still waiting for him to give me a pension." ”

Liu Yi looked at Chen Deng's father and son with a smile, singing and harmonizing, it was an excellent cooperation, and the righteous family affection was used, but it was a pity that they didn't understand Liu Bei's character, or they wanted to die and struggle.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "I said that Yuanlong can be Yuanlong, and the matter is so decided, set off today and rush to Qingzhou." ”

Liu Yi was suddenly dumbfounded, Watt, when did Liu Bei become so strong, Chen Qi and Chen Deng were also a little dumbfounded, the script was not written like this, but Liu Bei's words were all said, and no one could let him take it back.

Chen Deng said: "Thank you Xuande Gong for your love. ”

So far, I can only accept it.

Chen Jue's heart was so cold that the only luck in his heart was gone, and he suddenly clapped his hands, and a group of people poured out, holding red plates in their hands.

Chen Qiqiang said with a smile: "This is half of the Chen family's property, I don't know who wants to get rid of the Chen family, and please don't be confused by the traitors, the loyalty of the Chen family can be seen from the sun and the moon, and these silver taels are given to Xuande Gong, which can be regarded as the Chen family's contribution to our army." ”

Liu Bei nodded with a smile and said, "No one slandered the Chen family, this matter is over." ”

Then those red plates were taken over by Liu Bei's subordinates, and Liu Yi was dumbfounded.

This technique, this level of proficiency, unconsciously, Liu Bei has grown to this point.

Liu Yi suddenly remembered one thing, as if later generations had discussed the money-making methods of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan.

Cao Cao relied on digging graves, Sun Quan relied on shipping, and Liu Bei specialized in looting wealthy families.

The main thing is that the war is actually a war of economic and material attrition. In addition to the need to consume a large amount of living force, the economic consumption of the rear is also very fast. Whether it is in terms of war readiness materials or food, there will be a large amount of reserves to be able to cope with one big war after another. And during the Three Kingdoms period, I liked to fight a war when I had nothing to do, so of course the consumption of military supplies was also very fast. Therefore, the various bosses of the three countries must find a way to solve this hard demand. If you don't have hard power, you don't need to fight much at all, and you will enter the stage of collapse. Of course, the support of the local tyrants of the family also has a large proportion, but no amount of money is too much, there must be some extra money.

So at that time, Cao Cao relied on the means mainly through tomb robbing and spending dead people's money to support his huge military power. Sun Quan relied on the rich economic agriculture in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and Liu Bei relied on the local rich businessmen.

Cao Cao's army was the largest in the Three Kingdoms, and of course the economic consumption was very fast, even though Cao Cao occupied the entire northern region at that time. However, after all, it had just stabilized, so it was impossible to solve the military consumption at that time through taxation. Because the consumption of the army is more expensive than the normal maintenance of the country. In addition, the Southern Xiongnu had just been pacified at that time, and there were fugitives from all over the country. Cao Cao also managed to settle down just now. Therefore, the area ruled by Cao Cao at that time was limited in what could be collected. In addition, it is necessary to worship the entire Han Xian Emperor for the Han Dynasty, whether it is the minister's food, drink, Lazar, and various financial needs. The demand is relatively large.

When Cao Cao found that he didn't have so much economic strength at all. When I wanted to make a little extra money, our boss Cao began to have a headache, and after thinking about it, he thought of a particularly interesting industry, which has been passed down to this day, that is, tomb robbing. Therefore, Cao Cao can also be regarded as the originator of the tomb robbery series, and in order to rob the tomb, he also set up an official position to touch the gold school captain. Listening to this name is very lofty, in fact, putting aside everything, this is digging other people's graves, and it is the kind of thing that is not finished if you don't dig it clean.

Although it is a bit morally unreasonable, it is said that he has not affected the normal life of the people after all, has not excessively oppressed the people, and the people's lives are at least very stable, and it also solves Cao Cao's demand for money. Besides, these gold, silver and jewelry are buried next to this group of dead people, it is indeed of no value, it is better to take them out and let Cao Cao use them, Liu Yi, as a modern person, actually does not feel that it is too much, and these are faster than collecting taxes from the common people, plus there were a lot of funeral goods for those princes and generals during the Han Dynasty at that time, so they did not worry about resources at all.

Our Boss Cao is a very ambitious person, digging graves can be said to be digging everywhere, Boss Cao's "digging graves and digging graves" is most famous is known as "the first mausoleum in the world's stone chamber" The tomb of King Mangdang Mountain got tens of thousands of catties of gold, and raised soldiers for three years.

In fact, there is another person who also dug graves to raise soldiers, that is, the aforementioned Dong Zhuo dug graves near Luoyang, and obtained much more gold and silver treasures than Cao Cao.

There is a story that everyone may not know, Dong Zhuo did an earth-shattering thing, Dong Zhuo is known for his brutality and kills people like hemp, but Dong Zhuo also has a loving side, and treats his little granddaughter Dong Bai very dotingly, but unfortunately Dong Bai was born disabled and is a deaf and mute person, Dong Zhuo loves this little granddaughter very much, and in order to cure her illness, I don't know how many famous doctors at that time were killed. Later, I don't know where Dong Zhuo learned that there is an immortal technique that can cure all diseases, and a perfect person can get immortality, so he hid it in the Maoling of "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" as a burial.

At that time, Dong Zhuo was in power, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was just a puppet, and Lu Bu was unparalleled in the world; In order to cure his granddaughter and live forever, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to raise troops to dig up Maoling. Dong Zhuodong's boss ordered Lu Bu to be the supervisor of the "gravedigger army", and specially instructed him to find the immortal book, and Lu Bu was the supervisor of the army, and he was at the gravedigging site. Although every car of baby Lu Bu searched very carefully, he just couldn't find the so-called immortal art. Just when Lu Bu thought that there was no hope, an extremely gorgeous brocade box was unearthed in the tomb, which seemed to be suitable for holding such rare treasures as immortal arts. Lu Bude didn't dare to open the brocade box without authorization, and hurriedly handed it over to Dong Zhuo. When Dong Zhuo saw this box, he also thought that it must be immortal art inside, but when he opened it, there was a paragraph of Shu brocade inside, which was written "Qianli grass, He Qingqing?" Ten days, no birth"

Isn't it familiar, as mentioned in the previous article, what Dong Zhuo dug up spread out, and even children could sing it.

Far away, the topic returns to the army, Cao Cao doesn't care about fame, he can dig graves everywhere, but Liu Bei, as the queen of Shu Han, will definitely not be able to go to the graves of those princes and ministers. Because he is also his uncle and uncle, he is embarrassed to do it. It is rumored that at the same time as Liu Bei seized Yizhou, he ordered the sergeants to loot the big households in Yizhou, and later generations also guessed a lot about Liu Bei's means of making money, but Liu Yi estimated that the biggest thing was the donation of the Mi family in Xuzhou, which supported Liu Bei's half of the sky.

Looting the wealth, and with Mi Zhu's support, coupled with Liu Bei's virtual currency leading brother Fa Zheng, although Liu Bei was tight at that time, he was not short of money. At that time, Fa Zheng proposed to let Liu Bei issue a coin. In Liu Bei's ruling area, this kind of coin can be exchanged for 500 regular coins each. In fact, it is the same kind of virtual currency means, the government forcibly adds value to him, and then invisibly collects the people's money in the treasury, and finally gives it back to the people, which is also a big means to make money.

Chen Qi watched the three of them leave, Chen Deng did not resist, because he knew that resistance had no effect, and followed Liu Bei with an expressionless face, Liu Yi turned around and waved his hand with an interested face, looking at Chen Qi's old face was instantly gloomy, and it was also a very interesting thing.

Liu Bei's things didn't stay much at all, the main purpose of this line was Chen Deng, and it was a surprise to be able to get half of the Chen family's property, Liu Bei felt very happy now, and the Chen family's affairs were solved so simply.
