They already understand Liu Zhang's state, which shows that Liu Zhang thought of something very crucial. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe two of them were enjoying the pastries in the house, and they were uncomfortable pushing a cup of tea. The two of them also enjoyed a lot of refreshments, but they always felt that they were not as delicious as the house. In such a short time, the two of them ate two plates of cakes and drank two pots of tea......

Zou temporarily acted as a maid, and she wondered if these two people were here to eat and drink? In such a short time, I have eaten a lot of good things. The woman is a strange animal who seems to accept everything here and thinks it is theirs. Liu Zhang doesn't like to eat pastries very much, so they are basically prepared for them. Now seeing Fa Zheng and Zheng Du eating so unscrupulously, the woman frequently looked sideways in the back......

It's been a long time since Liu Zhang finally returned to his soul, and he hasn't written the eight characters yet, and Jingzhou hasn't won it yet, so he thinks too much. After sorting out the regrets, Liu Zhang just wanted to take a pastry to relieve it, only to find that the plate in front of him had long been empty.

Zheng Du felt quite embarrassed: "My lord, now that Xiliang is my territory, and the place under the lord's jurisdiction is prosperous, why hasn't the lord considered the Silk Road?" "This news was provided to them by the businessmen below, and the businessmen here seem to be a little different from the businessmen he knows? Originally, the merchants sold the difference, but the merchants here sold their own things, provided them with information, and brought resources.

"The Silk Road?" The first thing that Liu Zhang thought of was the good things in the West, whether it was corn or other food, or some more useful things, such as rubber trees? It seems that all of this can be obtained by traveling to the Western Regions?

Liu Zhang immediately became interested: "Guangxiao's matter must be arranged, you go to find some reliable people to go to the Western Regions, it is best to go farther, on the one hand to sell our things, on the other hand to help me find some things." "If there is corn and rubber, Liu Zhang feels that life is too happy......

"Looking for something? Lord, don't we have a big man? Have you ever seen it? Zheng Du didn't understand, if Liu Zhang had seen the big man, he would definitely have it, if he hadn't seen it......

Liu Zhang immediately said: "I have heard that there is a kind of tree in the extreme west, tall and slender, and after the trees are separated, thick sap flows out, and it condenses into a mass commonly known as glue. Also look for something that looks like a mallet, covered with golden grains, which is a good grain. You must write down these two things, and you must tell those merchants that if anyone finds the above two things, I will definitely give them a knighthood and a reward of ten thousand gold. "One of these two things can benefit the people, and the other can reform the industry, both of which are vital things, if there are no rubber products, Liu Zhang can only boil cowhide......

When this reward was spoken, Fa Zheng and Zheng Du were directly shocked. The two men didn't understand how important those things were, but they understood that the reward was absolutely great. Take out a pen and paper and write it down, this reward is enough to pass on for generations, enough to make those businessmen crazy.

Then Liu Zhang said a few small things, such as peppers, such as seeds of vegetables and fruits. Liu Zhang emphasized that a large number of food seeds were needed, as well as the translation of some books, which could be brought back by Western scholars. Of course, Liu Zhang explained a little more, don't want any jewelry, luxury goods, and marine items.

Speaking of the Silk Road, silk, tea, porcelain, papermaking, and gunpowder came out of this land, and only some vegetables and fruits, some mathematics, and astronomy came in from outside. There is nothing that is really reformed in the practical sense. In this way, Liu Zhang felt that he had suffered a loss. What cultures, civilizational exchanges? In Liu Zhang's view, there is no need for anything.

I'm a thief now, and only other people's good things are brought over, and no good things from mine are shared. Even in the future, Liu Zhang will emphatically state that education and technology are absolutely not allowed to circulate privately. It's a bit selfish, but sometimes it's so selfish......

can't take care of his own development, what mood does Liu Zhang have to care about the life and death of others? In short, as the news spread that Liu Zhang was preparing to reopen the Silk Road, the merchants of Hanzhong, Chang'an, and even Shu County were boiling! Some of the businessmen's families are also boiling, such as Xu Cheng's small family, such as Wang Si, Yan Pu and other families who have begun to take the merchant route, and even the businessmen in Jizhou and Xuzhou have also gotten the news......

The real boiling, the real blindness. The title can only be obtained by military merit, and now as long as you go to the Western Regions to find what Liu Zhang explained, you can get it, what kind of glory is this? For a time, there was a storm in Chang'an City. Businessmen from all over the world, using each other's news, gathered in Chang'an.

In a house in Chang'an, Xu Chenggao sat on the main seat, and the steward below said slowly: "Since the lord promulgated this news, the families of merchants from all over the Han Dynasty have gathered in Chang'an. Our cloth, salt, tea, and furniture have increased a lot this month...... "This month is another harvest season.

"Steward, what the lord said, can you be sure? If there is, then I will go to ask the lord for a batch of weapons, and when the time comes, we will prepare to send an envoy to the Western Regions...... "The wealth is moving, and the title is even more crazy, especially for the families of these merchants."

"Master, I haven't heard anything my lord said, and when the time comes, the lord will inevitably send a team of men out of the Western Regions, and then we can follow the lord's team. From the description of the adults, the sticky thing on the tree should be close to but different from the pine resin, and the other thing should be grain. This shows that adults need to use this kind of thing, so we will look for similar ones, and even if we can't find these two things, but find a similar one, then the adults will definitely reward the master. "This steward has been in the mall for a long time, but it is the first thing to think about.

Xu Cheng pondered for a while and said: "I'll go to the lord to ask about ......it another day" Xu Cheng was moved, Liu Zhang gave him status, and his wealth was crazy to climb, but he still wanted more things, such as a title, so he had no regrets in this life.

The Mi family, who is far away in Xuzhou, as a big business family, naturally got the news. I only noticed Liu Zhang before, but after the first battle in Nanyang, they felt that Liu Zhang could invest. This man is simply too hungry for them, very good to the merchant's house, and lustful. They were originally a family of merchants, and they also had a sister who was beautiful and fragrant, which was simply their best refuge.

"Big brother, then Lord Liu now occupies the land of Sanzhou, and he wants to seize Jingzhou. Nanyang has been occupied by that adult, and this time Jingzhou is also under the master's plot. Before, Cao Cao was also driven away by Lord Liu, although he lost some food but captured Nanyang, when will the eldest brother not go at this time? "Speaking of which, Mi Zhu has always been very interested in Liu Bei, and Mi Fang has always been very interested in Liu Zhang.

However, Liu Bei's repeated failures, as well as Liu Zhang's friendliness to Shangjia, really made Mi Zhu, who considered the family, hesitate. Then Liu Bei's defeat, hiding everywhere, and Liu Zhang's strong seizure of Xiliang, scared away Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, and now occupies Nanjun to dominate the entire Xiliang, Sili and other places, which really makes Mi Zhu hesitate and hesitate.

Mi Fang has always disliked Liu Bei, he feels that this person is not domineering enough. Not to mention his actions, he is completely hiding and hiding. No matter how good his conversation is and his ambition is high, you have never made any achievements, which makes people think that he is very incompetent. At this time, there was a conflict between the two brothers......

The eldest brother Mi Zhu has always been optimistic about Liu Bei, even if Liu Bei has gone to Cao Cao now, he plans to follow him. Although it is a little less desperate than before, I still want to go. But the younger brother Mi Fang wanted to take his sister to take refuge with Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang's actions made Mi Fang's heart even hotter.

Speaking of which, Mi Fang felt that he betrayed Guan Yu, but sometimes why didn't Guan Yu die by himself? Guan Yu, even if you are a hero in the world, what about it? looks down on everyone except Liu Bei, I really don't know where this arrogance comes from? Do you think that you can be proud of the world if you have unparalleled righteousness?

It's okay to look down on people, you put this kind of mind in private, in the depths of your heart. After all, people are also related to Liu Bei on the surface, and they are still the Taishou of a county, so they shouldn't have such a vision anyway. In short, this is a kind of disrespect for people from the heart, and it deserves to be defeated later.

Mi Zhu looked at his younger brother and said silently: "For my brother to understand what you mean, you and my brother are originally one, and today the male lord will rise together." Since my brother can see that Liu Zhang, I don't want to stop you as a brother. You take half of the family property to join Liu Zhang with your sister, and I bring a piece of the family property to Liu Bei. In the future, no matter who rules the world, our Mi family will never be extinct. "This feeling is like a big family in later generations taking refuge in different princes, no matter which one is on the throne, it will not decline for their family, which is also a way to survive.

In fact, although Mi Fang is not talented, he does not have any intention of betrayal. It's just that Guan Yu squinted at people, which was really annoying. If Liu Zhang was looked at obliquely by Guan Yu, he would definitely pick him up and smoke him, although he would definitely be hung up and beaten, but he looked down on himself too much......

Sometimes I really don't know where his arrogance comes from? In terms of force, Lu Bu is unparalleled in the world, and in terms of resourcefulness, how much higher is Zhuge Liang than him? On righteous anger? Let's say that he is the best in the world for the time being. But this really can't be a reason for you to look down on this and look down on that. The reason why a strong person is a strong person is not only because the external power is strong, but also because the heart is extremely strong. Treating the weak with dignity and compassion as the strong is probably the wind of the king, right?
