Chapter 241: The old man is rich

Lord, it's not close from Bohai to Qu County in the East China Sea. Zhang Hedao.

The reason why I asked you to lead the team is because I can rest assured that you will do things, so I let you go. The stakes are high and must be kept secret.

What is the Lord doing sending so many ships to the East China Sea? Zhang He asked.

Zhang Jie said: Brother Zizhong supports us to transport a batch of money and grain to Jizhou. But from Xuzhou to Jizhou, you have to pass through Qingzhou, so you can only take the sea route, and only by sea can you load more.

When you arrive at Bohai, all the Bohai garrisons will be under your control. Remember to bring a few crossbowmen, but keep them secret.

Promise!

Gongyan, you don't have to go to Bohai, you accompany Brother Zizhong back to Xuzhou. Discuss something with Brother Zizhong, and give Brother Zizhong a hand by the way.

Promise!

Man'er, you go to your father's to lead a hundred personal soldiers, and let them dress up as a caravan to protect the safety of Brother Zizhong and Gongyan. What is there to listen to the arrangement of Brother Zizhong and Gongyan.

promise

Alright, go down and prepare! We'll leave tomorrow. Promise!

After the three of them went down, Zhang Jie said: "Brother, tomorrow the people of the world will not send you in a big way, so as not to let Yuan Shao's spies find out."

Little brother is here to toast you.

The people of the world were polite. Please rest assured, my brother will definitely bring the money and food to Yecheng safely.

After Mi Zhu went to the post house, Zhang Jie found Jiang Wan again.

Gongyan, Zizhong was here just now, and I can't say some things. This time, I sent you and Zizhong to go with me in the hope that you could transport the money and grain back to Jizhou safely. I'll give you the answer. I don't care much about the copper coins and the grain, mainly the gold. You've got to get it back. I heard that Brother Zizhong said that there was a lot of gold. When the Zhang He fleet arrives, you load the gold on the ship first. Got it?

Also, Liu Bei has now taken the East China Sea, but I guess he will also order the Mi family. Therefore, you lurk in the Mi family as a diner of the Mi family, and they are regarded as the Mi family's family guards, and it is best not to conflict with Liu Bei until the last resort. No matter what happens, protecting the lives of Zizhong and you is the first priority. Do you understand?

Promise! The lord can rest assured that his subordinates will get things done.

The next day, Mi Zhu, Jiang Wan, took Dian Man and a hundred Zhang Jie's personal soldiers to form a caravan to Xuzhou.

Jizhou is recruiting troops on a large scale, plus pensions for dead soldiers. Now there is a lot of pressure on money and food. Tian Feng, let's find Zhang Jie together.

Lord, last time we discussed recruiting 100,000 recruits, and our subordinates calculated it, if we took out all the money from the treasury, it would be enough, but if we took it out all. I'll have no money to save in the future. At that time, the soldiers' pensions may not be paid. I discussed with Zhengnan whether to stop the money given to Luoyang first. It's not too late to wait for next year's land tax to come up. And his subordinates feel that the lord may not be able to get the gratitude of the court if he gives so much money and food to Luoyang! Tian Feng said.

Zhang Jie shook his head and said: "Zhengnan, Yuan Hao, you also know that I gave Luoyang money and grain not to supply the imperial court, but to let them rebuild Luoyang, and then we will occupy Luoyang." Therefore, the money and food in Luoyang cannot be broken, firstly, I promised the Son of Heaven, and secondly, Jie also hopes that Luoyang will be rebuilt soon. So helping Luoyang is actually helping yourself. I'll be honest with you both! I have already asked Ziyi to rebuild the General's Mansion in Luoyang, if the supply of money and food is cut off at this time, will it be useless?

But if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that when the war goes on next year, we won't have enough money and food, and the soldiers won't be able to send out the military sound by then! It's not like it used to be. Nearly three hundred thousand troops. The daily ration army is a huge number! Tian Feng said urgently!

Rest assured, the money and food of the 300,000 troops are huge. But even if there is no tax collection this year and next year, Jie can hold out for two years without any problems. Zhang Jie said confidently.

The judge immediately said: Does the lord still have a sum of money hidden and I don't know?

Hehe, what kind of money is Jay still hiding! There are still a few boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the house. For the rest, you are both richer than me, and your family still has some land. Jay didn't have an inch.

Then how can the lord say that it is not a problem to raise 300,000 troops for two years? Tian Feng said.

Hehe, Jie is not, but Jie's father-in-law is the richest man in Hebei, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in the entire Han Dynasty. Zhang Jie said with a smile.

Mr. Cai is so rich? Why didn't the subordinates find out? Judge the way.

Ahem, ahem! Mr. Cai, what kind of money is there! Jie is talking about the Wuji Zhen family.

Tian Fengdao: I see, the Zhen family has been in business for generations, and a hundred years ago they were one of the richest people in Jizhou. If you can get the help of the Zhen family, it will be of great help. It's just that the Zhen family is afraid that they won't be able to come up with so much money and food!

Hehe, don't forget, I also have a brother-in-law in Xuzhou who is the richest man in Xuzhou. I came to Yecheng two days ago. I sent Zhang He to take the sea route to transport money and grain. Mi Zizhong told me that gold alone can support an army of 100,000 for three years.

Really! Hahaha! The subordinates remembered that when they saw Yuan Shao sending Liu Bei and Lu Bu's family to Yecheng, they thought they were harboring misfortune, but they didn't expect to send a God of Wealth! Hahahaha!

Yes! I'm sorry, Feng said the wrong thing. Mrs. Mi was supposed to be the lord's father-in-law. It has nothing to do with Liu Bei.

Okay, the manly husband still has this bit of a good mind, Lao Tzu just robbed Liu Bei, what happened to Lu Bu's wife? It's not just the two of them, when Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Lao Tzu are defeated, they will also snatch their wives. This is called the turf by knocking down, and the lady by grabbing it. Hahahaha!

Yuan Hao, Zhengnan, I heard that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have a few beautiful concubines, and when they are captured, I will pick them at will. Hahahaha!

Matching, Tian Feng, look embarrassed! I feel that this lord is so old and not serious! When it comes to other people's wives, it's exciting! The judge said: My lord, let's talk about something else!

Zhang Jie saw that they didn't have anything to say. Dao: Okay, you two go back and rest! Don't worry about money and food. Jay has his own plans.

Promise!

Lord Yue, Jie came to you this time, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I would like to express my gratitude for your commercial contribution to Hebei. Second, I have something you can help me with.

Shimin is polite, they are all a family to help and see outside. Just say anything! Zhen Yidao.

That's the case, Jie is about to use troops against the Central Plains. A large number of recruits are currently underway. It's just that the money and food are still a little short, and I hope that my father-in-law can lend some money and food to Shimin, and when I take the Central Plains, Jie will definitely return it to my father-in-law. Zhang Jie said.

Nothing to pay back. They are all their own family members, and since the people of the world have spoken, how can the father not help. Just take some money and food. But I don't know how much food the people need. Zhen Yidao.

Zhang Jie said: 200,000 stone grain, 300 million copper coins or equivalent gold.

What!! So much, huh? O virtuous son-in-law! Where to find so much money and food for the father! Even if you sell all the properties of the Zhen family, you can't get so much money and food!

Zhang Jie knew that this old guy was definitely unwilling to support him with all his belongings. But now I lack money, so I can only borrow from him.
