In winter, everything is dormant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Winter is also the time for the princes of all walks of life to reorganize their armaments and wait for another war.

Soldiers and horses can recuperate, and the owners of soldiers and horses, the powerful people from all walks of life, have no time to rest, and they dare not waste precious time.

Liu Bei captured Jiujiang and completed the most important step of the strategy of basing himself on the Central Plains.

Liu Bei was not happy, but worried.

It is easy to seize land, but it is difficult to defend it.

Central Plains, the land of tigers and wolves. The territory has expanded, and if you want to keep it, you must expand the army.

To increase the number of troops, money is needed.

What Liu Bei lacks most is money.

Strategic locations were seized, millions of people were harvested, and at the same time, hundreds of thousands of refugees were harvested.

War refugees, once pacified, will be transformed into productive forces and become a potential source of soldiers. Poor appeasement is the source of disaster.

To appease refugees, money is also needed.

The money and goods seized from the Yuan Shu puppet Han court have long been spent. In the treasury, there is only a mountain of burlap that cannot be sold and is reluctant to throw away.

Liu Bei ordered all parts of the country to open up financial channels and save expenses, but it was still difficult to make ends meet.

Forced to be helpless, Liu Bei was even ready to raise taxes!

Increasing taxes will provoke resentment and hurt people's hearts. Liu Bei is known as a benevolent person, and he will never do this as a last resort.

was about to gather his staff to discuss the tax increase, and he had to report that Jian Yong had returned.

Songshan Alliance, Liu Bei asked Liu Mang to send a delegation to Luoyang for investigation, and Jian Yong was the head of the delegation.

Under Liu Mang's rule, all industries prospered. Agriculture, fishery, animal husbandry and businessmen are booming.

Liu Bei sent an envoy to inspect in the hope of following suit and boosting Xuzhou's economy.

……

There was a lot of wind and dust all the way, but Jian Yong's expression was good. It seems that this trip has gained a lot.

Jian Yong was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and as soon as they met, he said to Liu Bei: "The trip to Luoyang has benefited a lot and opened my eyes!" ”

Liu Bei looked Jian Yong up and down with strange eyes.

Jian Yong is still the original Jian Yong, but Liu Bei always feels that something is wrong when he looks at Jian Yong.

"The lord can't get used to the outfit of his subordinates, right?" Jian Yong smiled and shook the robe on his body.

"Oh...... However, this robe is indeed weird. ”

"Hehe, this is a Luoyang costume, and my subordinates specially bought it to wear it for the lord to see."

The Hanfu style worn by Jian Yong is extremely popular in Luoyang.

It is similar to traditional Hanfu, but it is more concise and neat. This kind of Hanfu is popular in Luoyang, which originated from Taiwei Liu Mang.

Hanfu is good-looking, but it is too complicated.

Liu Mang is not used to wearing traditional Hanfu, but as an important member of the imperial court, Liu Mang cannot and does not dare to abandon traditional Hanfu.

Clothing is the label of the nation.

The development of clothing is inseparable from the development of society.

Although Liu Mang is young, he has grown into a mature politician. He is well aware that challenging traditional culture is a huge risk. Therefore, Liu Mang always wears traditional Hanfu on formal occasions.

There are not so many constraints at home, you can be casual. At home, Liu Mang didn't like to wear long-winded wide robes, so he asked his wife Yang Yuhuan to make several sets of home casual clothes for herself.

Casual home wear, the style is similar to the traditional Hanfu, more in line with Liu Mang's aesthetics, simple, neat and comfortable.

Liu Mang had a close relationship with his subordinate Wenwu, and when discussing matters at home, he often did not formalize etiquette and wore improved civilian clothes.

Liu Mang is young and handsome, in a high position, and his temperament is beyond ordinary people. After many years of martial arts, he has practiced with broad shoulders and thin waist, and his body shape is very good. The improved casual wear can show off its toned body even more.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

Women love beauty, and men are no exception.

Liu Mang belongs to the subordinate martial arts, and many of them are about the same age as Liu Mang. Intentionally or unintentionally, he imitated Liu Mang's dress.

Improved casual clothes, which came out of the Taiwei Mansion, gradually became popular among the children of officials and nobles.

Over time, it was introduced to the people from the homes of officials and nobles, and gradually became fashionable in Luoyang and the surrounding areas.

Jian Yong said: "Yes, Luoyang calls it fashion. ”

The word fashion naturally comes from Liu Mang's mouth.

Liu Bei is not interested in fashion, he cares about money.

Summoned Wang Dao Xu Shu and others to listen to Jian Yong's report on the investigation experience, hoping to inspire and learn from it.

During the trip to Luoyang, Jian Yong had a lot of insight and talked endlessly.

Jian Yong brought back the improved varieties of Jia Sixian.

Liu Bei was very happy, but he still couldn't get rid of his worries.

Good breeds are treasures, but it takes a long time to try, promote, and popularize. The overall improvement of agriculture is not so simple overnight.

Far water does not quench the thirst of the near, the top priority is money! Money! Money!

When it comes to the developed business under Liu Mang's rule, Jian Yong is even more eloquent.

Liu Bei listened to it with itchy hands and salivation. He couldn't wait to send troops to Luoyang immediately, robbed Liu Mang's territory, and took it for himself!

However, I can only think about it, alas......

Jian Yong also talked about the Luoyang Army.

The Luoyang Army's strong combat effectiveness is directly related to the enthusiastic participation of young and middle-aged people under its rule.

The Luoyang Army was able to recruit a large number of new soldiers, and in addition to the usual agitation and propaganda, there were many novel means.

What touched Jian Yong the most was that there were many eye-catching locations in Luoyang City, where many portraits of soldiers were posted and hung.

Those portraits, by the foreign painter Lang Shining, are different from traditional Chinese paintings, and are more realistic and realistic.

Gao Changgong, Gao Pet and other fierce generals are models, with handsome and powerful appearances, and bright and dazzling armor.

Gao Changgong and others are the idols of youth. This kind of propaganda is the most impressive.

Xu Shu nodded again and again when he heard this. "Such methods of recruitment should be emulated."

Liu Bei also nodded, but then shook his head again.

In this way, it is easy to recruit troops. However, how to raise soldiers when they are recruited?

Going around and around, and then around to the "money", Liu Bei could only keep sighing.

"Huh?!" Director Wang suddenly spoke in surprise, and his face was happy.

"What good idea did Mr. Mao Hong (Wang Daozi Mao Hong) think of?"

"Skillfully sell coarse cloth to relieve your eyebrows!"

"Selling coarse cloth?"

In the treasury, mountains of burlap have become Liu Bei's heart disease.

Sell, no one buys.

Throw, reluctant.

It also costs a lot of manpower and material resources to guard and take care of it.

If you can sell the coarse cloth, you won't be able to make a fortune, and it's good to get rid of heart disease.

"How to sell it?"

"Follow the Luoyang Army's recruitment move and sell coarse cloth skillfully!"

Director Wang explained the tricks in detail, followed the Luoyang initiative, and made new clothes from the backlog of burlap, and chose the suave people to wear them. In the name of celebrities and celebrities, create a sensational effect.

Scholars love to imitate celebrities, and they will follow suit. Then, influence the people in the region and make it "fashionable"!

Liu Bei is also a smart person. Director Wang spoke, and Liu Bei suddenly opened.

"Wonderful! He has Gao Changgong, and I have Zhao Zilong! Xianhe immediately recruited skilled craftsmen to make new clothes. Let Zilong and others take the lead in wearing! The more Liu Bei spoke, the more excited he became. Not only Zilong, but also Yun Chang and Yide must take the lead! ”

Liu Bei's face was flushed with excitement, and Director Wang suggested with a smile: "Don't be embarrassed by Yun Chang and General Yide, right?" ”

"Uh...... Well......"

Zhao Yun is obedient and will definitely obey the order. Guan Yu is more old-fashioned, even if Liu Bei speaks, Guan Yu is afraid that he will not wear vulgar linen clothes.

As for Zhang Fei......

Zhang Fei's image, as a model, I'm afraid that he won't be able to sell a single piece......
