"Brother Honor's body, is this still not good?"

"Well, it was originally according to the will of His Majesty. My brother should have come to Chengdu to visit Zifeng before March. But...... Well, I've been in bed for more than two months. Several doctors have come to see it, and they all say that there is little hope. Woo woo woo ~ ~~ "

"Thoughts, please mourn."

In a private room on the second floor of the auction house, Guan Yi only felt sick when he looked at the fake step.

In February of that year, the Xiling Governor of Eastern Wu fell ill. As a traverser, Guan Yi knew that this time the Bu Association would not be able to get up. If it's fast, it's this summer, and if it's slow, it's winter, and Bu Xie is going to see him Lao Tzu Buqi. As for the step explanation who is crying in front of Guan Yi now, hehehe, all this guy is thinking about now is how to snatch his nephew's family property and get the position of Xiling Governor.

Therefore, Guan Yi only comforted Bu Yan lightly and then talked about other things.

"There are forty-one salt farms on my side. In addition to the Zigong Salt Farms controlled by the Fuxing Society, there are five other salt farms that are not included in this auction. ”

Sure enough, once Guan Yi didn't mention the matter of Bu Xie, Bu Xian didn't want to pretend to be sad at all.

"What does Zifeng want to tell me?"

"Well, of these five salt farms, two of them are the private money of my majesty, and the other two are the prince's money. This last one, I, is, left, to the West, the Mausoleum, the Capital, and the Governor! ”

It's clear and realistic. This salt farm is not reserved for you to explain, nor is it for step-by-step. Whoever is the governor of Xiling is the owner of this salt farm!

Step by step, this sentence is understandable. So after he rolled his eyes, he said indiscriminately: "Last month, I went to Jianye in our country. I met Prime Minister Puyang and General Zhang Zuo. I gave 10 million to each of these two people! "——Brother, I have premeditated to bribe the ruler of Eastern Wu, so I have great hope of becoming the governor of Xiling.

"My salt farm is located in Padang County, which is only more than 60 miles away from the Yangtze River. There are now more than twenty salt wells. The daily salt output is more than 200 stones. "——Brother, my salt farm is very close to the Yangtze River, and it is also very close to your Xiling station. It's just for you.

"In the past six or seven years, Xiling and Fuling, the two sides will benefit both sides, and the fight will be defeated. The covenant between the two sides needs no more emphasis. "-As long as I became the governor of Xiling, I didn't say anything, and in the future, the goods of the Fuxing Society and the fleet of the Mijia Trading Company will still be unimpeded in Xiling.

"After this catastrophe, our Han Dynasty has suffered serious losses in combat power and a serious shortage of manpower. I need to replenish it urgently. "- I'm not going to ask you to buy this salt factory in MB with money, but you can just ensure that the trade routes are unblocked? It is important to know that the money for the smooth trade route is the exclusive right to buy toothpaste and toothbrushes, and I have already given you that thing. You want a new salt farm, and you'll have to get something out again!

"Hmm...... I, Dawu, really need a resolute ally like Dahan. My Bu family also needs an ally like Da Sima. Therefore, after I took over the housekeeping of the Bujia family, I kindly sponsored 3 million stones of Da Sima grain, which was delivered in ten years. "-I have a lot of money, but I also know that you are not interested in money for the time being when you sell the salt farm. I also know you're a food reserve maniac. I'll give you food. Thirty thousand stones per Chinese New Year's Eve for ten years.

Is Guan Yi short of food? To be honest, it's really a bit lacking. A battle to save the fortunes of the country cost the grain that the Fuxing Society had stored for many years. Although the raider copied millions of stones, compared to what he was about to do, it was really not enough-then the problem came, he felt that millions of stones of grain were not enough, how could he be rare for your Bujia to have thirty thousand stones of grain every Chinese New Year's Eve?

Besides, it's May 264 AD, and in more than two months, the emperor of your Eastern Wu will be hanging. After Sun Hao, the son of the abolished crown prince Sun He, ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to cleanse you, the remnants of King Lu. Decade? You can give me food for five or six years at most, and then you will be the three tribes. Who should I go to for the grain in the back?

In short, Guan Yi only temporarily handed over the salt farm to Bu Xian to manage - using the Bu family's funds to improve the production technology of the salt factory, expand its production scale, and let it bring in workers from Soochow - and then after a few years, after the Bu family was destroyed, he naturally took it back.

Although Guan Yi's move is black and ruthless enough, how can he slaughter such an unjust boss with such a big head? You must slaughter this guy without any hair left to be worthy of the audience.

"Zhong Si, after all, I am now the great Sima of Kaifu, not the former Fuling County between the poor mountains and bad waters. This Chengdu Plain is known as the land of abundance. "-Lao Tzu is not short of food, Lao Tzu does not accept the condition you just now!

"Hey, Zifeng, let's open the skylight and say something bright, the Anlu salt field in Jiangxia has been almost exhausted in recent years, and no new large-scale salt mines have been discovered in the entire Jingzhou...... Anyway, I'm going to decide on that salt farm! What exactly do you want? "-Lao Tzu won't talk to you anymore, let's talk straight, what do you want?

It's really rude, it's not forced at all, everyone plays ventriloquism, doesn't it all look coquettish? Anyway, there is really no need to beat around the bush when talking to people like you who have not yet entered the substantive stage and have exposed all their hole cards to talk about business.

"Okay, two. First, I also want veterans of the Wuwu Army, which is two thousand. When I sent them, I sent them not only myself, but also their families. ”

I have to say that Guan Yi tasted the sweetness of using the Wudifficult Army as an instructor, and then he is also ready to expand the scale of the Fuxing Academy, in the case that General Jiang Wei treats each of his mobile corps officers as a treasure and refuses to let them out, the Wudifficult veteran is really a good choice.

"Hiss~~~ Zifeng, I'll tell you the truth. There are a total of five or six hundred soldiers in my family, and the number of veterans is even smaller. These two thousand people really can't be taken out. ”

"If you don't have enough family, go and discuss it with other families! Teng's family, Luo's family, Kan's family, Shi's family, Lu's family, Lu's family...... All the families of your Wu Kingdom based on the land of Jingzhou, you can go to the exchange! I don't believe it, so you can swallow the army without difficulty. ”

“…… All right. I have promised you. What's next? You need to know that this alone will cost me a lot of money! ”

"Hey, hey, the next one is for you to narrow your losses. It's still those families just now, I don't know them well. When you go back and make it clear to them that I will come to them for a lot of money to buy grain after I sell the salt farm! When the time comes, they will not be allowed to raise prices en masse! ”

Yes, with the traverser's left-handed in and right-handed out spending habits. When he has a lot of money in his hands, he will not let this money stay in his hands for a long time - if the money is not spent, it is not money!

At present, the people on the Shu Han civil register have really been forced to the line of life and death. Whether it is out of public interest to appease the people, let the people rest and recuperate. Or to gain fame for him Guan Da Sima's private life. In Guan Yi's plan, in the autumn of the second year of Yanxing, he will be tax-free in Shuhan Province!

In any case, it is tax-free for at least one year. Let the people of Shu Han, who were already overwhelmed, take a little breather. Otherwise, he, Guan Da Sima, didn't need the Shu Han family to launch a rebellion against him, and the uprising of the people at the bottom would be enough to kill him.

But this side has to be tax-free, and there has to continue to pay salaries to officials at all levels! In those years, the salaries of officials at all levels were not directly related to the amount of money, but were directly linked to the weight of grain. And in actual operation, it is also half of half, and grain and copper coins have to be issued.

How many officials are there in Shu Han now? Forty thousand! More than Cao Wei (more than 30,000) and Eastern Wu (more than 20,000) officials. Some of these 40,000 people earn an annual salary of more than 10,000 stones—for example, he Guan Da Sima. Some are only a hundred stone - such as a county in a lower county. In any era, in the entire bureaucracy, middle and low-level officials always make up the vast majority. But even if it is calculated based on the average annual income of 500 yuan per official, plus the prince's salary or something. The Shu Han government will send out 10 million stone grain and 1 billion money a year!

(Guan Yi: How can there be so many officials in MB?) I can't say it, when Lao Tzu frees up his hands next year, he will have to lay off employees! Well? You say the layoffs started this year? That's right, the salt works are all sold out. More than 5,000 officials, including officials at all levels of the Siyan Captain's Mansion and a huge number of mine soldiers, can all be laid off! ）

In addition to the officials' salaries, Shu Han also had an army with a ridiculously high ratio of military and civilian to support. Although after this Han-Wei war, the existing army of Shu Han has been reduced to about 90,000 (35,000 mobile corps, 15,000 Hanzhong corps, 15,000 Chengdu Yulin, 10,000 private soldiers of the Fuxing Department in Zigong Fuling, 7,000 Yongan Corps, and 8,000 Nanzhong Corps). Moreover, the soldier's salary is much lower than that of the official, on average about sixty stone a year. But roughly calculated, it will take about 3 million stone grain and 300 million money!

Moreover, unlike most of the officials' salaries, which can be distributed on the spot. The places where the soldiers were stationed were generally remote borders, at a distance from the grain-producing areas. So, you have to take into account the loss on the road - and due to the terrain, the loss of Shu Han's grain transportation was the largest among the three kingdoms.

In addition, although the Chengdu Plain is a land of abundance due to floods and droughts, large-scale agricultural disasters rarely occur. But in any case, the state treasury must have at least a certain amount of grain reserves.

After all, if there are no reserves of 20 million stone grain and 2 billion yuan in the treasury before the autumn harvest this year, it will be a joke to be tax-free or something.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are! Come, Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, Jiang Da Sima, General Fei Da, and Chen Fengzong, let me worship you again!
