Chapter 100: Life Events
Xu Shu suddenly remembered someone, so he pulled Jin Liang: "Ming Gong, Xu Shu wants to recommend another person to you." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Shi Tao, Shi Guangyuan, although this person does not have the talent of the world's strategy, but also knows agronomy, Ming Gong has the long-term strategy of Daxing Tuntian, Shi Guangyuan should be able to help Ming Gong. β
Jin Liang also suddenly remembered that Shi Tao Shi Guangyuan was Xu Shu's only friend in Yingchuan Academy, and he also followed Sima Hui and Xu Shu to Xiangyang in history, and Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong also had a good relationship, known as Zhuge Four Friends, and later joined Xu Shu to serve Cao Wei, first as a lieutenant of the agricultural school, and then as a county guard, and then when Zhuge Liang attacked Wei, he learned that Xu Shu was appointed as the middle of the imperial history, and Shi Tao was appointed as the county punctuality, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Wei Shu is evil, why don't they be useful", and the two of them are not smooth and uneven.
Jin Liang asked Xu Shu to lead him to visit Shi Tao. Shi Tao is a few years older than Xu Shu, although his face is as white as jade, his beard has long flowing under his chin, he is wearing a free scarf and a soapcloth robe, and he is squatting in a small field in front of the thatched house.
Jin Liang saw that Shi Tao was busy, so he didn't come forward to disturb him, and turned back to ask Xu Shu: "I remember that in the Analects, there was a disciple of Confucius who learned farming from Confucius and was reprimanded by Confucius. β
Xu Shu said with a smile: "There is indeed this classic, Fan Chi asked for a masterpiece, and Zi said: 'I am not as good as an old farmer.'" 'Please learn to be a nursery, and say: 'I am not as good as the old garden.' 'Fan is late. Zi said: 'Villain, Fan Xuye! good gifts, but the people dare not be disrespectful; If the righteousness is good, the people will not dare to disobey; If you have a good letter, the people will not dare to be ruthless. If the husband is so, then the people of the Quartet will carry their sons and come to the place, and use the crops? ββ
Jin Liang asked, "Since Confucius is opposed to Confucian protΓ©gΓ©s learning agriculture, why does Shi Tao still wait for the crops?" β
Xu Shu explained: "Shi Guangyuan and I both worship under Mr. Shuijing, although Mr. Shuijing respects Confucius as the leader. It also respects the soldiers, the Mohists, the Taoists, the Legalists, and the peasants. Hundreds of schools are included. Self-contained, I learned more from Mr. Shuijing, Legalist, and Shi Guangyuan learned more from the Mo family, farmers, Guangyuan once said, "Cangqiao is solid and knows etiquette, and the homeless people riot with the Yellow Turban thieves, all caused by empty stomachs, enough food, no hungry people." There must be peace in the world. ββ
Jin Liang couldn't help but nod in approval: "Mr. Shuijing really educates everyone, there is no class, and he teaches according to his aptitude, so that his disciples can help everyone." I also quite agree with Shi Guangyuan's words, my Han people are the most content, the people take food as the sky, if they have enough food, who will be willing to risk killing their heads and follow the thief? βXu Shu also nodded and praised: "Shi Guangyuan has the ambition to make the people of the Han Dynasty have enough food, so he studied the "Four People's Moon Order" and "The Book of Sheng", and devoted himself to studying and improving the cultivation technique. Efforts are made to increase grain yield per acre. He once said, 'If you are valued by the court, let me be the great Si Nong.' There will be no hunger in the world. I deeply admire his ambition. β
Jin Liang couldn't help but think of Professor Yuan Longping, a famous agronomist in the harmonious period of the Later Qing Dynasty, if there was no rice hybrid technology of his old man, it would be impossible to feed more than one billion people under the extreme rule of the Later Qing Dynasty. It seems that Shi Tao and Shi Guangyuan are Yuan Longping of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the feeling of admiration in Jin conscience is born leisurely.
Jin Liang couldn't help but pat Xu Shu on the shoulder: "If it weren't for Yuan Zhi's reminder, I would have missed a great sage today." β
At this moment, Shi Tao stood up and shouted at Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, please bring the distinguished guests into my thatched house, I still need to be busy for an hour." β
Xu Shu had no choice but to take Jin Liang into Shi Tao's thatched house, like Mr. Shui Jing, in addition to the "Four People's Moon Order", "The Book of Sheng", "Mozi", "Analects" and other books and some farm tools, Shi Tao's thatched house was empty, and it could be described as a family with four walls.
Jin Liang couldn't help but secretly sigh that since ancient times, those who have engaged in agricultural scientific research have been so poor, but they have made the greatest contribution to the Han nation, but those bureaucrats, especially those in the middle and late dynasties, have made a negative contribution to the Han nation, but they have enjoyed glory and wealth, and the sky will be so unfair. Lu Bu secretly determined that in the future, he would definitely vigorously support people like Shi Tao who had truly contributed to the Han nation, so that the treatment they enjoyed would be worthy of their contributions, but bureaucrats like Yuan Kui would gradually be suppressed to the minimum.
After an hour, Shi Tao rubbed the mud on his hands, walked into the thatched house, and said to Xu Shu happily: "The Book of Victory" once said that 10 gourd seedlings can be grafted into a vine and form a big gourd. I thought about whether the grafting technique could be used on other melons and fruits, so I groped for a long time, and the grafting was completed, just waiting for the flowers to bear fruit. β
Jin Liang didn't wait for Xu Shu to introduce himself, hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands, ignored the sludge on Shi Tao's hands, and held Shi Tao's hand tightly: "Guangyuan, are you willing to follow me to Jingzhou to take up the post of Si Nong and teach the people to grow crops?" β
Shi Tao was taken aback, the scholars of this era were not used to the handshake ceremony of later generations, so they hurriedly pulled their hands away, frowned and asked, "Dare to ask the distinguished guest's name?" β
Jin Liang could see that Yuan Longping, who was obsessed with agricultural technology at the end of the Han Dynasty, was "ignorant of things outside the window, and only cultivated enough food and fields", and it was very likely that he had not heard of himself, so he said in detail: "I am the general of Zhennan and the leader of Jingzhou Thorn History, Guangluxun, Wuling Jin Liang, and the word Xianting." King Qin killed the ten permanent servants, killed several permanent servants in the rebellion of the ten permanent servants, saved the queen mother, the son of heaven, and Chen Liuwang, and was appointed as Guangluxun by the queen mother. I heard Mr. Shuijing, Mr. Kong Ming, Yuanzhi, Fengxiao, and Guangyuan in Luoyang, and I hereby invite you to Jingzhou to show your talents, and Mr. Shuijing, Mr. Kong Ming, Yuanzhi, and Fengxiao have all agreed to my invitation. I very much agree with Guangyuan's saying that "the cangli is honest and knows the etiquette, and the people have enough food to make the world safe", and has recruited the world's homeless people, co-opted the remaining thieves of the Yellow Turban, and made sure that the Han people can have enough food and rarely starve. I wonder if Guangyuan is willing to come to help me? β
Shi Tao said suddenly: "I have heard the name of Jin Xianting everywhere in the past few days, and it turns out that it is Your Excellency. Your Excellency invited, Shi Tao didn't dare not go, but there were already crops in this field, and Shi Tao couldn't bear to waste the fields. β
Without waiting for Jin Liang to speak, Xu Shu preemptively persuaded: "Guangyuan, your crop is only half an acre, and there are millions of acres of abandoned fertile land in Jizhou. Turning millions of acres of fertile land into treasure. For the Han world, hundreds of thousands of good people. Which is more important. Don't Guangyuan know? β
Shi Tao looked at the melon and fruit that had just been grafted outside the door, there was still a trace of unbearability on his face, and Jin Liang smiled: "Just grafting skills, how many more people can live?" β
Shi Tao's face suddenly showed a look of anger, but Jin Liang smiled slightly, asked Chen Lin to lay out a detailed map of the world, and asked Chen Lin to tell Shi Tao about the three treasures of potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes.
When Shi Tao heard this, he was immediately petrified for a long time. The yield per mu is more than 1,000 catties, this is simply a myth, he Shi Guangyuan chose a good field to sow corn, intensive cultivation, only to harvest more than 400 catties, which is more than twice the average yield per mu, if there is really such a mu yield of more than 1,000 catties of grain, why are the people of the Han Dynasty hungry, why are the Han people worried?
Jin Liang also gave Shi Tao a detailed description of some agricultural techniques that could be applied to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the harmonious years of later generations, and Shi Tao listened. After thinking about it for a while, he knelt down in front of Jin Liang with a plop: "The lord is above." Shi Tao is willing to help the lord to help the lord, and he will make the Han Li people have enough food and clothing, and the world will be governed. β
Shi Tao knew in his heart that in this year, it was difficult to find a lord who supported him to improve farming, and it was even more difficult to find a lord who understood farming and could help him improve farming. Like Xu Shu, Shi Tao was also born in a poor family, and he only entered the mountain gate after being favored by Mr. Shuijing, since Mr. Shuijing also went to Jizhou, he had no need to stay in Yingchuan Academy, and the Ming Lord personally condescended to recruit him, so Shi Tao conformed to the situation and bowed to Jin Liang. Shi Tao also had a high hall in his house, so he returned to Yangzhai City with Xu Shu to persuade his mother to pack up. Jin Liang inquired about the details of other celebrities related to Yingchuan, but learned that Xi Zhicai went to Qian County to find Hua Tuo to see a doctor, Xun Shuang is now in Luoyang City, Xin Bi has defected to his fellow villager Han Fu with his brother Xin Pingye, Guo Jia's distant brother Guo Tu defected to Yuan Shao, the captain of Sili, Zhao Yan and Du Xian took refuge with their families in Jizhou as early as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and there are few talents left in Yingchuan County.
Jin Liangxin remembered the situation in Luoyang, but he was afraid that Dong Zhuo would enter Beijing blatantly and break his wishful thinking, so he left some of the Red Loyal Guards to assist Sima Hui, Hu Zhao, Xu Shu, and Shi Tao, and together with Guo Jia, Chen Lin, and Dian Wei, they hurried back to Luoyang, and they didn't even stay overnight in Yangzhai City.
After one night, another day, I arrived at Yanshi County, which is a hundred miles east of Luoyang City, and the people are sleepy and tired, so I have to stay in Yanshi County. Yanshi County is close to the capital, and the rumors that Jin Liang spread a few days ago have spread in Yanshi County, and many rich and noble families are packing up and preparing to go to Jingzhou to escape the war.
Jin Liang was very happy when he saw it, and it confirmed the sentence, "A lie repeated a thousand times is the truth", not to mention that the rumors he let people spread are not all rumors, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers are already famous for their military discipline corruption, as long as the people are given enough time to migrate, I am afraid that not many people are willing to submit to his obscenity.Since leaving Yingchuan Academy, Jin Liang relied on the combat instincts he had cultivated on the battlefield for many years, and felt that several pairs of eyes had been staring at him, like a thorn in his back, and whenever he looked back, he found nothing. Guo Jia also felt the same way, so Jin Liang secretly ordered the Chizhong guards to be more vigilant and vigilant.
After entering Luoyang City, Jin Liang took everyone and walked straight to Yuan Shu's residence. Yuan Shu was startled when he saw Jin Liang rushing to his residence with a large number of people, and hurriedly asked Zhang Xun and Ji Ling to lead the soldiers to set up defenses.
Unexpectedly, Jin Liang said to Yuan Shu from afar: "Brother Highway, I came here to make amends for you this time." β
Yuan Shu suddenly remembered the death of his cousin Yuan Yin, so he snorted: "Jin Xianting, when you incorporated the right army of Yulin, why did you kill my brother without knowing me, and is there still my Yuan family in your eyes?" β
Jin Liang pretended to be ignorant and said with a smile: "Brother Highway, I really didn't know that Yuan Yin was your cousin Yuan Highway, otherwise I would definitely let him be safe and sound, and I wouldn't hurt him at all." Brother Highway, since the big mistake has been cast, there is no need to pursue too much, you and I are ministers in the same palace, protect the Son of Heaven together, do not hurt the harmony, and let the relatives and enemies be happy. β
Yuan Shu said angrily: "For the sake of the overall situation, I didn't impeach you for killing the general in front of the Queen Mother, nor did I send a doorman to chase and kill you, what else do you want?" What are you doing with a bunch of people coming to my mansion? β
Jin Liang rode his horse a few steps closer, lowered his voice, and told Yuan Shu about Dong Zhuo's plan.
Yuan Shu was shocked when he heard this: "It's a poisonous plan to kill two birds with one stone, if it weren't for Xianting's insight and distinguishing between right and wrong, the big thing would be irreparable, Dong Zhuo, a thief." I won't spare him! β
Jin Liang pretended to be sincere and said, "Please forgive Brother Highway, Brother Benchu and Master Taifu for my actions in the court a few days ago. All because of the Queen Mother's instructions. Xianting had to do it, Xianting really didn't want to offend the Yuan family. Now Dong Zhuo's wolf ambition is eyeing Luoyang, you and I will cooperate sincerely, don't let Dong Zhuo take advantage of the void. β
Yuan Shu was deceived by Jin Liang's sincere appearance, so he said: "Brother Xianting, don't worry, Yuan Shu knows which is more important." If the Dong thief dares to cause trouble to the Beijing Division. The virtuous brother is in Jingzhou, the foolish brother is in Nanyang, and the north and south are attacked, and the Dong thief is suppressed. β
Jin Liang said with a smile: "Since Brother Highway has such foresight, Xianting is relieved. Because of the Montenegrin thieves, the Queen Mother had a decree to let me go to Jingzhou as soon as possible, and I left Beijing in these few days and went to Jingzhou, a major military and political event in the capital. They are all entrusted to Brother Benchu and Brother Highway, and I hope that you will be careful of Dong Zhuo. Defend the Jingshi. β
Jin Liang was originally worried that Dong Zhuo and the Yuan family would join forces to be unfavorable to him, but now it seems that Yuan Shu must hate Dong Zhuo to the core, and it is impossible for the Yuan family to reconcile with Dong Zhuo, so that he can calmly leave the Jingshi. When Jin Liang returned to his residence, Xuanyuan Xue had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Jin Liang entering the house, Xuanyuan Xue smiled and said, "I went out to recruit a lot of talents this time, and I found that there was a person who looked like the reincarnation of a female man. Hasn't Ying Long woken up yet? β
After hearing this, Jin Liang looked at his arm a little puzzled and said, "No! Who are you talking about? β
Xuanyuan Xue said, "It's the one named Dian Wei at the door." No matter how you look at it, it looks like the reincarnation of the drought, but how is the reincarnation of the drought? I was very depressed. Although they are also bald, they are very beautiful. Look at Dian Wei again, is it because the upper realm has punished her? What should I do if Ying Long wakes up? β
Jin Liang looked at Xuanyuan Xue and smiled, "Maybe Ying Long is reincarnated as a woman?" Isn't that a match? β
Xuanyuan Xue shook her head, unsure. Then he continued: "I don't object to you just saying that Dong Zhuo's plan was given to Yuan Shu in advance, but I think you should make good use of the Dong family man you caught last time. After all, we are not very rich in hand. β
Jin Liang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Chen Lin to write a letter to Dong Zhuo in a while." β
Xuanyuan Xue nodded and continued, "You already have a plan, then I can rest assured." Go back and find time to accompany Xiaoyue, and when you return to Jingzhou, you can directly marry Tang Yue and go home. Of course, you can also marry Cai Wenji and Diao Chan together. As for Yuhuan, it's not too late to wait until she comes back from completing the task, and as for Liu Bei, she can only do the outer room. The reasons you should know. β
Seeing Jin Liang nodded, Xuanyuan Xue was relieved. After a few more words, he went back to the palace.
Jin Liang then let go of one of Dong Huang's subordinates, and asked him to take a letter written by Chen Lin to tell Dong Zhuo that this time he would blackmail the hateful Dong Fat Man.
Dong Zhuo was shocked when he received the letter: "Dong Min fell into the hands of Jin Liang, Dong Huang was also arrested by Jin Liang, and the thief Lu Bu actually asked me for 10,000 good horses, saying that if not, he would kill Dong Min and Dong Huang, so that my Dong family would be killed!" "It turns out that Dong Zhuo's only son died early, and the eldest brother also died early, leaving a younger brother Dong Min and the eldest brother's son Dong Huang, if Jin Liang kills Dong Min and Dong Huang, and Dong Zhuo is nearly sixty years old and has no fertility, the Dong family is really going to die, and all the hard-earned foundation must be handed over to others to make wedding dresses for others.
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru, who was walking quickly from a distance, and scolded in his heart, good son-in-law, you offered this strategy and let Huang'er operate it, but Huang'er was captured by Jin Liang, in case Brother Min and Huang'er were killed by Jin Liang, and the second son-in-law Niu Fu rarely had a strategy, wouldn't I, the foundation of the Dong family, give you Li Ru, and really make a good calculation.
Li Ru saw Dong Zhuo's gloomy face, and knew that the previous plan to kill two birds with one stone had failed, and Dong Zhuo, the moody father-in-law, must blame himself, so he first asked for the guilt: "Ru'er was not thoughtful, which caused the plan to fail, and asked my father to send it down." β
Dong Zhuo is now trapped in the Sunset Pavilion, and if he wants to enter Luoyang City, he still needs to rely on Li Ru's strategy, and it is inconvenient to excuse himself, so he didn't say a word, and directly handed Jin Liang's letter to Li Ru.
Li Ru looked at it, thought about it carefully, according to his original intention, he would break the net with Jin Liangyu, after Dong Min and Dong Huang died, and after Dong Zhuo died a hundred years later, the more than 100,000 horses under Dong Zhuo's command were all his Li Ru's, but in front of Dong Zhuo, if he said that he didn't save Dong Min and Dong Huang, he would immediately be questioned by Dong Zhuo that he had bad intentions, so Li Ru could only follow Dong Zhuo's meaning: "Uncle Min and Brother Huang are both close relatives of their fathers, and they are also related to the bloodline of the Dong family, so they can't help but save them, but although our army claims to have 100,000 iron horses, in fact, there are only more than 40,000 war horses. The rest were foot soldiers. Take 10,000 good horses and give them to Jin Liang. The combat strength of our army was immediately reduced by 20%. I hope my father thinks twice. β
Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and said: "Jin Liang Xiao'er, I have repeatedly spoiled me in big things, and when I take control of the government, I will definitely wash and merge the state with blood, and eliminate the hatred in my heart." Ru'er, send him a message and ask him if five thousand war horses are okay, if not. Let Dong Min and Dong Huang fend for themselves. β
Li Ru drafted a reply letter and asked the Xiliang soldiers who had just sent the letter back again. Jin Liang opened the reply letter and discussed it with Guo Jia and Chen Lin, everyone saw that Dong Zhuo's tone was very resolute, and the five thousand horses were also empty-handed, so they did not continue to be greedy, so they replied that five thousand horses are five thousand, but after Jin Liang's men and horses crossed the Yellow River, they would hand over the horses and hostages with Dong Zhuo in Hanoi.
If it is now to exchange horses and hostages. The other forces in Luoyang City will covet 5,000 war horses, and it will be difficult to transport war horses across the turbulent Yellow River. Let Dong Zhuojun hurt this brain. However, it was too cheap to reduce from 10,000 to 5,000 horses, so Jin Liang attached a condition to his reply, asking Dong Zhuo to provide another 500,000 stone of grain, otherwise he would only return one person. 500,000 stone grain, Dong Zhuo naturally will not take it from his own military rations, but rob the people's grain in the Sili area, Dong Zhuo did not have the face to say that these grains were to redeem his younger brother and nephew, it can only be said that it was to collect military rations for war preparation, and the Xiliang soldiers took advantage of the looting of grain, burning, killing and plundering, and doing all kinds of evil, which made Dong Zhuo's reputation even more ruined, and the people who originally watched and refused to leave the Sili area listened to the guidance of the plainclothes personnel under Jin Liang's command, crossed the Yellow River with their families, and went to Jingzhou.
Dong Zhuo had the heart to lead the troops to attack Jin Liang's Xiaopingjin camp, defeated Jin Liang's army, and could save the two relatives, but saw that the Xiaopingjin camp was under the command of Jin Liang's general Gao Shun, and the defense was tight, and the north gate of Luoyang was guarded by Jin Liang's Xiao General Cheng Lian, and Gao Shun became a corner, and he couldn't attack it in a hurry, Dong Zhuo was afraid that Jin Lianggou jumped over the wall and killed two relatives, so he had to swallow his anger and prepare war horses and food, and kept an account for Jin Liang in his heart, ready to calculate after the autumn. After Jin Liang finalized the bottom line of blackmailing Dong Zhuo, he let Guo Jia take full responsibility for continuing to hand over to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Min and Dong Huang were detained in the Xiaopingjin camp and strictly guarded by the Flying Tiger Army.
Jin Liang led Chen Lin to inspect the treasures of the Ten Standing Servants excavated by Wei Xu's Jin Brigade. In the Xiaopingjin military camp, I only saw a small amount of gold and silver and a cart of rare treasures, a total of only tens of millions of dollars, Jin Liang frowned, Wei Xu hurriedly smiled and handed him a list: "Lord, those gold and silver treasures just now are only one percent, and most of the rest have been secretly transported to Wuling by Lord Tang by boat." β
Jin Liang glanced at Wei Xu with sharp eyes, Wei Xu's expression was a little unnatural, his eyes didn't dare to look at Jin Liang, Jin Liang didn't care, and took the list easily.
As soon as Jin Liang's eyes touched the list, his eyes suddenly widened: "How can there be so many!" β
I saw that the list read: 170,000 catties of gold, 460,000 catties of silver, 7.4 billion coins of copper, and many rare treasures, which are equivalent to 40 billion yuan.
Jin Liang estimated a little in his heart, according to the legal exchange price in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a pound of gold was exchanged for 10,000 yuan, and at this time, a large amount of foreign silver had not yet flowed into Middle-earth, and silver had not yet depreciated, and a pound of silver was equivalent to 2,500 yuan, so that the treasure of the ten permanent servants was equivalent to about 50 billion yuan.
Chen Lin took the list and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Lord, these guys have really made a lot of money, which is enough to pay taxes to the imperial court for two and a half years." β
Jin Liang was taken aback: "The imperial court can earn more than 20 billion yuan a year? β
Chen Lin sighed and said, "The lord must not underestimate the first emperor's means of collecting money. Originally, the land tax was 30 taxes and 1, and when the first emperor was alive, he levied 10 yuan per mu, and also levied a tax of 55 yuan per hectare according to the size of the field. The household tax is levied again, and it is paid in two installments every year, the first time in May, and each household pays 16 yuan; The second time in October, 15 dollars per household. There is also a levy of 23 cents per person per year for children between the ages of seven and 14. Adults between the ages of 15 and 56 are also levied an arithmetic levy, which is 120 yuan per person per year, and the merchant receives double the fee. Adult men are also levied a levy of 300 per year for each adult male. A tribute fee was levied, and each adult male and female gave sixty-three yuan per year to the emperor for the expenses of the court. In addition, there are vehicle and vessel taxes, money taxes, livestock taxes, customs duties, mineral taxes, fishing taxes, city rents, and so on. At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, the tax was only 8 billion yuan a year, and before the death of the first emperor, the tax revenue rose to more than 20 billion yuan a year. β
Jin Liang calculated a little, and then asked with a smile: "It is said that the population under the rule of the Han Dynasty was 60 million at its peak, although it was chaotic by the Yellow Turbans. There is a lot of poison. It can be recuperated after a few years. There should also be a population of 50 million, more than 20 billion yuan, which is only equivalent to more than 400 yuan per person, how can it be regarded as a tyrannical expropriation? β
Chen Lin shook his head: "Although there are 50 million people, more than 20 million of them are attached to various families and do not need to pay taxes, and the remaining 20 million people have the lowest income, and they can only earn more than 1,000 yuan on average all year round." But he has to pay nearly 800 yuan, isn't this called tyranny! β
When Jin Liang heard Chen Lin say this, he couldn't help but recall that during the harmonious years of later generations, it was the same, when tens of millions of people attached to the bureaucracy did not contribute to the country, but enjoyed the best treatment in the world, but those office workers with super pressure, ultra-low income, and ultra-low welfare paid the world's second-highest taxes and enjoyed the world's highest housing prices. Nima, the class situation in this country seems to have never changed since ancient times, and those dog-day bureaucrats have always ridden on the heads of the common people to make a fortune. This time, I won't change the situation. Let this society be the same, so what's the point of coming over. It's better to die early, so as to save so much emotion.
Jin Liang quickly stabilized his mind, temporarily forgot about the unhappiness of that life, and focused on the problem at hand: "What about so much money from these ten permanent servants?" β
Chen Lin replied angrily: "Lord, think about it, the first emperor entered the inner palace when he was a teenager, and the ten permanent servants hijacked him to eradicate the general Dou Wu and the Taiwei Chen Fan, controlled the government, and instigated the first emperor to sell his official beard. Moreover, eunuchs such as the Ten Standing Servants also took the initiative to ask for bribes, such as Xiaohuangmen Zuofeng, who took the initiative to ask for bribes from Lord Lu, and asking for bribes did not lead to false accusations. There are thousands of eunuchs under the jurisdiction of the Ten Standing Attendants, who have controlled the inner palace for nearly 20 years, and their property, I think, is more than that. β
Jin Liang nodded, yes, compared with history, the combined energy of these ten permanent servants is comparable to that of He Shen in the Qianlong period, but He Shen's family production capacity is as much as one billion taels of silver, which is enough to pay taxes in the fifteenth year of the Qing Dynasty, and the treasures of the ten permanent servants are converted into silver at most 200 million taels, how is this possible? Jin Liang originally saw Wei Xu's eyes wandering and his expression flustered, so he suspected that the treasure was swallowed up by Wei Xu and Tang Long, but after carefully asking the henchmen and soldiers who were placed in the gold touching team, he knew that Tang Long was not greedy at all, because most of these had to go into his bank, there was no need to be greedy, Wei Xu was just greedy for a little treasure.
Jin Liang could only suspect that the treasures of the Ten Standing Servants were definitely not only here, but also distributed in other places, but he couldn't understand why Wei Xu's expression was so strange, and what kind of unsightly deed he had done. Now he has more than 50 billion yuan, enough to buy 500 million stone of grain, enough for 50 million Han people to eat for a year, but Jin Liang estimates that it is impossible to have so much grain under the rule of the entire Han Dynasty, and "the landlord's family has no surplus grain", so after arriving in Jingzhou, he must open up the sea route and send people to Goguryeo, Wa and even further away to buy grain. Fortunately, this Beibi Mountain is close to the Yellow River, and after Wei Xu led the gold team to dig up the treasure, he took advantage of the night to walk through the dense forest, quietly transported the property to the bank of the Yellow River, loaded it on a ship and transported it away, and it took 200 horse-drawn carriages to transport the treasure after forty or fifty trips.
Jin Liang left Chen Lin to be responsible for the follow-up of the treasure, and he first went to his father-in-law Cai Yong's house in the capital to visit his fiancΓ©e Cai Yan and Diao Chan, and Dian Wei led five hundred Flying Tiger Army to escort him.
Cai Yong's house is on the bank of the Luo River in the south of the city, next to the South City, the opposite bank of the South City is the Gold Market, this area is the most lively place in Luoyang City, "the boat and car dealers, around the four directions, abandoned houses and accumulation, full of the capital," a prosperous and prosperous business scene.
Dian Wei has rarely been to such a prosperous place, looking left and right, it seems that he wants to wander around and play, how can he have a false alarm when Jin Liang was assassinated last time, Guo Jia had a long talk with Dian Wei, Dian Wei was loyal to his duties and did not dare to leave without permission.
Jin Liang saw that Dian Wei was uncomfortable, so he smiled and said: "Evil, when I get to my father-in-law's house, let Lu Tong lead someone to escort you, and Xu Meng will lead you around." Jin Liang didn't want to turn Dian Wei into a lackey by his side, he walked there every day and followed him there, without any freedom, which was not something he could do in the 21st century, and when he saw Dian Wei's intention to visit the prosperous scene, he wanted to relax him.
Lu Tong and Xu Meng were originally a little dissatisfied with Dian Wei's command of the Flying Tiger Army, but they had seen Dian Wei's majesty of chasing the tiger across the stream, and they knew that they were invincible, and then they saw that Dian Wei was cautious and cautious on the outside, and slowly recognized Dian Wei, and often ate wine and food with Dian Wei. The relationship between the three is warm. Guo Jia was deeply worried about this scene. Ordered Dian Wei not to indulge in food and drink. Jin Liang was also a little worried. In history, if Dian Wei had not indulged in wine and food, he would not have been ridden by Hu Che'er, so he told Dian Wei about the terrible consequences of indulging in alcohol and food.
Cai Yong's house looks no different from other houses in the surrounding area from the outside, all of which are three-in, three-out, four-sided courtyards, with a hall house in the middle of the courtyard and wing rooms on the left and right sides. The front wall opens the door in the middle, there is a floor on the door, the roof is also a palace type, there are corridors all around, all are blue bricks and green tiles, it looks simple and generous.
Cai Yong was walking towards Jin Liang, and the first thing he heard Jin Liang say when he saw him was: "Lord Taishan, your house will be sold immediately." β
Cai Yong didn't understand what Jin Liang meant: "Why did the virtuous son-in-law say this? β
Jin Liang told Yan Mu the truth: "I will lead the troops to escort the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven to Jingzhou to avoid Dong thieves in the next few days, as long as I lead the troops away, Dong Zhuo will immediately attack Luoyang." When the time comes, the Xiliang soldiers will burn, kill, and plunder in Luoyang City, and you will be my Jin Liang's father-in-law. And I am a thorn in Dong Zhuo's eye, when the time comes, your house will definitely not be protected, and it is very likely that Dong Zhuo will be burned to vent his personal anger. β
When Cai Yong heard Jin Liang say this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent the steward to spread the information on the sale of the house. Fortunately, his house was bought in the year of the Zhangjiao riots, that year Zhang Jiao was huge, the army was directed at the Beijing Division, the people in the Beijing Division were panicked, and the dignitaries were selling their real estate, Cai Yong was not optimistic about Zhang Jiao, so he used 200,000 yuan to buy a house that was originally worth one million dollars, and then Zhang Jiao was extinguished, and many dignitaries ran back to Luoyang, Luoyang housing prices soared again, and someone bid two million to this house, which was rejected by Cai Yong. Many dignitaries thought that Dong Zhuo was only asking for an official position, as long as Yuan Kui met Dong Zhuo's requirements, Dong Zhuo would naturally lead the troops to leave, so they had no intention of leaving Luoyang City. Behind Cai Yong, Jin Liang saw his wife Cai Yan and Cai Yan standing on one side of the sable cicada, who had already washed the dust on his face, his complexion was smooth and delicate like a baby, fair and translucent, his eyebrows were like far away, his eyes were like autumn water, his eyebrows were picturesque, and he was full of bright light.
And Cai Yan stood beside Diao Chan, not inferior, goose egg face, beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, although the eyebrows are not as delicate as Diao Chan, but Cai Yan has a pitiful and pathological beauty, plus she is slender, slim, convex and backward, no wonder Jin Liang's love for her has not decreased by half a point because of Diao Chan, but obeys her.
Jin Liang saw that Diao Chan's face was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, it was true that he was in a hurry to collect the army, so he sent someone to escort Diao Chan over, and he didn't decide any name at all. According to the logic of this era, if you put a beautiful woman in your own home, you will either be accepted as a wife and concubine, or as a slave. Diao Chan is conceited and beautiful, when she was a palace maid in the palace, she thought that once she was released from the palace, she would never be a slave or a maid, or even a concubine, but Jin Liang has not shown up for so many days, Diao Chan's self-confidence in her heart is fading day by day, and she is very worried that Jin Liang will one day give her to other dignitaries and nobles like other dignitaries.
Diao Chan doesn't know Jin Liang very well now, if she knows Jin Liang enough, she won't be cranky. Jin Liang is a person who loves his wife and concubine more than anything else, and he is two different creatures from the big-eared thief who "wife is like clothes" and abandons his wife and children as commonplace. The logic of Jin Liang in this time and space is that his wife and concubine are his own, and other people's wives and concubines may also be his own, and when the stunning beauty falls in front of him, there is no reason to give it to others.
After arriving at the main hall, Lu Bu ordered people to distribute the chairs and sit down according to the guests.
Cai Yan said bluntly: "Jin Liang is now the lord of one party, if there is no more son-in-law, I am afraid that my subordinates will be panicked, and I am afraid that the foundation will not be extended." I know that the sister of the Tang family has agreed to marry, and now it depends on the girl of Diao Chan. Diao Chan girl, haven't you been asking where Feng Xian is going and when he will come back, so concerned about him, now that others are in front of you, why don't you say a word? β
Diao Chan became more and more shy when Cai Yan said this, and his head lowered even more.
Cai Yan whispered to Diao Chan: "Sister, don't worry, you are much more beautiful than me, since the general can look down on me, how can he not take you to heart?" β
Diao Chan was also very puzzled, Cai Yan said this, why didn't Jin Liang say anything, Jin Liang didn't say anything, she Diao Chan couldn't shamelessly ask him Jin Liang to take herself as a concubine. Jin Liang was very distressed, he originally wanted to have a good relationship with Diao Chan, cultivate a minimum of affection and then get married, who knew that as soon as he arrived here today, he was forced to the point where he had to open his mouth to accept Diao Chan as a concubine. Can Jin Liang not speak? Can he refuse?
Looking at Diao Chan's expression, there was a bit of joy in his shyness, and there was no anger and indifference. If Jin Liang refuses on the spot, I am afraid that it will hurt the heart of this lonely girl all of a sudden. In the heart of this homeless girl who lost her father and mother, Jin Liang is the only heaven she can rely on.
Jin Liang thought about the situation in the troubled times in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, didn't they all meet a stunning beauty and immediately marry him as a wife and take him as a concubine, like Zhang Fei met Xiahou Juan, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's brothers met Da Qiao Xiao Qiao, Cao Pi met Zhen Mi, didn't they all immediately hire or even marry home, born in troubled times, and if they missed it today, they didn't know when they would meet again, so they paid attention to quick solutions, but this college student from the 21st century has long been accustomed to pursuing a girl for months or even years, so that he can quickly cut the chaos and make the overlord hard. He couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart. But he is now in the troubled times of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and he has to respect the characteristics of this era, thinking of this, Jin Liang straightened his clothes, came to Diao Chan, and said softly: "Diao Chan girl, I, Jin Liang, am a martial artist, I don't know how to be gentle, I am afraid that I will be abrupt girl." β
Diao Chan was still shy and lowered his head: "Diao Chan was saved by the general, this body has long been the general's, the general has the merit of helping the Han family, and the talent of the heavens and the earth, and being able to serve a hero like the general is something Diao Chan dreams of." β
Jin Liang had to admit that the women in front of him were all human spirits, how sweet Diao Chan's little mouth was, no wonder she was able to turn into a super female spy in history and execute the serial plan so successfully.
When Jin Liang was secretly rejoicing, Diao Chan suddenly remembered something, and his voice was a little sad: "Cicada just remembered that when my parents were still alive, they had given me a family affair. β
Jin Liang's face suddenly turned white, and his heart was cold. Cai Yan saw Jin Liang's mourning and examination of the woman, and couldn't help but glance at him, his own man is really interested in this woman, and he doesn't care about it, but the previous words have been so generous, so he asked Diao Chan in a low voice: "Sister, what kind of family is that?" β
Diao Chan thought for a long time, and then reluctantly told the fiancΓ©'s situation: "I can't remember clearly, that person is Hedong Xie Liangren, it seems that the surname is Guan, the word is immortal, the face is like a heavy jujube, because the family is poor, he has not married a wife in his twenties, because he has made some money by selling jujubes, so he asked someone to tell my parents that the matchmaker saw that the person was extraordinary, and he must not be a person who had been trapped for a long time, so he agreed." Later, the man killed a bullying local Haoqiang, fled to the rivers and lakes, and disappeared, and then the marriage was over. (To be continued.) )
