Chapter 624: Merchants Gather

"Little gentleman is not far ahead." The soldiers looked at Zhuge Liang's dress, like a literati, pointing the way, there were many literati who came to Jinyang during this time, and the soldiers vaguely heard something, the soldiers on the initial patrol were still very surprised, and the interrogation was more careful, after the order came from above, most of them were responsible for pointing the way for these literati.

In their hearts, the soldiers in the army are still more in awe of the literati, they are vulgar people in the eyes of the literati, but the literati are high and worthy of fear in their eyes.

"Thank you." Zhuge Liang returned the salute and walked away.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, the bustling annexation of the state, in the eyes of Zhuge Liang is powerful, it is precisely because of the powerful princes that the royal family is pressed to the point that it can't raise its head, even when the saint faces the Marquis of Jin, he has to show weakness, which is not the sorrow of the Han Dynasty.

Jinyang School is quaint and awe-inspiring in Zhuge Liang's eyes, after all, it is a temple for students, and for the school, Zhuge Liang also has a unique emotion, if the school is not in Bingzhou but in Jingzhou, he doesn't mind going to study in depth.

"Dare to ask who the gentleman is looking for?" The soldiers guarding outside the school stepped forward and said, Jinyang became more lively, the three sects and nine streams in the city were mixed, but the school was an important place, if there were people with malicious intentions who took the opportunity to make trouble, the loss of the state would be great, and the students in the school were the foundation of Lu Bu's future fight against the family.

"I am a person from Jingzhou, and I heard the name of Jinyang School, so I came to visit, and I hope the general can be more accommodating." Zhuge Liang said.

When the soldier heard this, his heart was also refreshed, and he laughed and said, "Sir is polite, please come in." ”

Although Zhuge Liang entered the school, there were still soldiers following him from afar, Zhuge Liang only smiled slightly, he also understood the meaning of the existence of Jinyang Academy.

Zhuge Liang walked around the Jinyang Academy, either stopping or frowning and pondering, and then left the school.

After returning to his residence, Zhuge Liang immediately went to Sima Hui's residence.

"Teacher, today's disciple has nothing to do to go to Jinyang Academy, and there is something very puzzled." Zhuge Liang said.

Sima Hui smiled: "What's the matter? ”

"The disciple happened to hear that in the school, he actually taught the disciple how to get along with the people."

Sima Hui was silent for a moment when he heard this, he didn't expect that Jinyang Academy would be such an existence, it could be that Lu Bu founded Jinyang Academy, and the students in it are learning these things, so if it is known to the world, the status of Jinyang Academy will be lower.

"Kong Ming doesn't have to think about it, and the state is different from Jingzhou." Sima Hui said.

"It's really as rumored outside, the students of Jinyang Academy have books for everyone." Zhuge Liang said in a low voice, books are rare, and they are the most attractive place for students.

Sima Hui said: "There is Jin paper in Jinyang, and the expensive Jin paper in the eyes of outsiders is not more than Erer in the eyes of the Marquis of Jin. ”

"Teacher, in your opinion, is the Marquis of Jin really proficient in arithmetic as stated in the Han newspaper? And is the Marquis of Jin as rumored outside? ”

Sima Hui smiled: "Kong Ming already has the answer in his heart, so why bother asking." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't understand what kind of emotions he had for Lu Bu, he couldn't talk about hatred, after all, Lu Bu was a hussar general of the Han Dynasty, and it couldn't be said that he was close, after all, Lu Bu's actions violated the interests of the family, and he was making enemies of the family in the world, and it was very difficult to stand out from such a troubled world.

"Could it be that Kong Ming wants to be in the state?" Sima Hui asked.

Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, Bingzhou is not suitable for him, he has a certain good impression of Lu Bu, and there is a world of difference from staying in Bingzhou, if there is no important strategist under Lu Bu at this time, he may consider Merging and using his own strength to save the bad image of Bingzhou, but there are strategists such as Jia Xu and Guo Jia under Lu Bu, even if he takes refuge in Bingzhou, it is difficult to have a way out.

"This trip to the state is for arithmetic." Sima Hui reminded that in his heart, he didn't want Zhuge Liang to choose to merge with the state.

Zhuge Liang bowed his hand, said goodbye and left, but his heart could not be calm, in Jinyang, he saw a different Jin Marquis in the eyes of outsiders, the family rejected the state, but the strength shown by the state is powerful, especially the spirit of the soldiers of the state, which shocked him, the battle of the Yin, he also heard that in the face of the siege of tens of thousands of Jizhou troops, no one chose to surrender, what a strong military force, the people and the soldiers get along well, but also make him feel threatened, such an army, if it appears in the Central Plains, what kind of storm will it set off.

Because of Shenli, there are more and more businessmen who flock to Bingzhou, and the merchants are profit-seeking, and the means shown by Bingzhou before tell them that if they choose to cooperate with Bingzhou, there will be a steady stream of money to take, even if Shenli is not as good as what the Han newspaper said, they can also choose to buy Jin paper and Jin wine in Bingzhou, as for buying war horses, that is what the merchants controlled by the princes will do, ordinary businessmen, the amount of Jin wine and Jin paper is also very small, Jin wine and Jin paper are expensive, Ordinary businessmen can't afford too much either.

The prices of restaurants and inns in Jinyang City are also rising with the wind, and there are more merchants, and the benefits are obvious.

Around the craftsman's workshop, there are also five hundred soldiers stationed, they are to protect the craftsman's workshop, Lu Bu plans to hold an unprecedented event, so that merchants from all over the world can see glass, that is, the divine glass, only to make a reputation, will be welcomed by more wealthy people, compared to Jin wine, the price of glass is cheaper, and the glass used to create glass is also some common things.

Jinyang City is much smaller.

Shenli is aimed at the wealthy, or rather, it is a move to collect money, and Xianlian is also soap, which is prepared for ordinary people.

Three days later, Lu Bu met with businessmen from all over the country who went to Jinyang in the hall of the state pastor's mansion, of course, among them, they were also businessmen with heads and faces in various places, and behind them, most of them had the figure of a family.

After receiving the invitation of the Marquis of Jin, many merchants were also surprised and inexplicable, the war made the importance of merchants highlighted, and it was still difficult to change their status.

"You can go not far to the state, Ben Hou is very pleased, people say that the status of businessmen is low, but Ben Hou does not agree." Lu Bu said slowly.

When the merchants in the field heard this, their eyes at Lu Bu were obviously different, even the merchants controlled by the family were staring at Lu Bu with burning eyes, these words could be said from the mouth of the high-ranking and powerful Lu Bu, the significance of the merchants was immeasurable, the merchants were not rich, they were also at the bottom, although the war had progressed, so that the status of the merchants had been improved to a certain extent, in name, they were still lower than the people.
