Chapter 66: Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs

After the first heavy snow fell, Zhao Zheng realized that the new year was coming, and before he knew it, it had been almost three years since he came to another world. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It was the lunar month, although there were not so many Spring Festival customs at this time, the people of Gushan who had a small harvest also took out the money they had accumulated for a long time to buy cloth and jerky. In order to maintain order, Wang Hu's garrison army stood guard on the streets.

As the saying goes, a good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail, and the common people hate the soldiers, saying that they are a family of soldiers and bandits, and those who stand guard also try their best to exude obscenity and maintain their poor self-esteem.

God knows that this year's meat in Gushan is so cheap, and the people who rarely see meat on weekdays are crazy about purchasing, and the families of those elderly or thin women naturally can't move it.

Fortunately, with the help of the garrison, Wang Hu mobilized thousands of garrisons to help the people transport New Year's goods free of charge. Those who stood guard also straightened their waists one by one, accepting the praise of the common people.

Meat shops have closed one after another, all of which are government-run commercial houses, temporarily open to sell New Year's goods. Zhao slipped twenty carriages, and the goods were overwhelmed, and the dried meat transported was enough to supply the entire Gushan people for a winter.

He was also quite business-minded, and when he passed through Daijun, he recruited Jin counterparts and told them that the Hu people urgently needed salt and cloth from the Central Plains, which were exchanged for dried meat and skin, and they were very profitable.

In fact, he couldn't transport away the skins that had been accumulated for more than ten years in the Tatamu Department, as well as the dried beef and mutton, except for the horses, the Gushan army had already controlled the Linhu grassland, and the people who went to Hudi to do business were only Gushan transporters.

In the city lord's mansion, Zhao Zheng was lying in the conservatory listening to Zhao Hua's reports from time to time, because of his deliberate arrangement, the merchants who entered Hu for the first time made great profits, attracting many commercial houses to go north, but there was only one bubble left.

"Laughing very much, the merchants of the Jin Kingdom are afraid that they will not dare to go to Hudi to do business in five years because of your plan. The wax moon and the New Year also make the family restless, for fear that they will hold grudges in the future. ā€

"Don't be afraid, the lord has already made arrangements under his subordinates, and most of the merchants who made a profit for the first time are the Zhao family firm, and then they are all people from the Wei family, the Han family, and the Lu family firm of the Qin State, and if you offend, you are not afraid of their revenge."

In the Three Jin Dynasty, the Zhao clan has the closest commercial contacts with Gushan, and the territory is also bordered, no matter who offends the Zhao family, Gushan is also safe and sound, as for the Yan country, it is safer, and it has been occupied by the Rujia firm.

Zhao Zheng smiled slightly, uncovered this paragraph, and asked with a cold face: "Yingbu promised to assassinate Donghu Khan, and Ji Chong didn't stop it?" ā€

The tone was calm, which made Zhao Hua feel inexplicably cold, and Zhengse said: "Da Sima stopped it, but Ashina Yan is very persecuted, and now that they are interfering on the grassland, we don't have the strength to fight at all." ā€

was originally a good chatter, but Zhao Zheng inadvertently replaced it with a gentleman and a minister, Zhao Hua's sentences showed Ji Chong's helplessness, Ashina Yan's strength, hoping to help Ji Chong avoid punishment.

"Get up, don't do this next time, and withdraw immediately when you encounter an invincible opponent. I don't want to trade my brother's blood for profit, it's not worth it. ā€

There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and Zhao Zheng's sense of alienation from his subordinates is becoming more and more obvious, and perhaps in the future, he will also kill heroes for the sake of future generations. But now he wants to keep these courtier brothers who were born and died for him before he still has his senses.

"The information you brought back was discussed with Wei Lian and them at the last meeting, and it was decided that the affairs of Linhu trade would still be presided over by you.

He Miao and Ji Daliu formed an advisory group headed by him, and went north to the Tatamu Department to help him guide the training, as for Ji Chong to let him come back and continue to do the original military system, Gushan expanded the army nearly three times, and Xiangguo and I couldn't keep it busy. ā€

Zhao Zheng tried his best to convey a preferential treatment to Zhao Hua, did not deal with Ji Chong's unauthorized actions, and transferred him back to continue to hold important positions. And Zhao Hua also obtained the right to preside over the business road, and in the future, he can exercise part of the right to speak on behalf of Gushan in the Linhu grassland.

"The lord forgives the sins, I'm afraid Da Sima won't be able to come back." Zhao Hua knelt on the ground and took out a letter from his waist, the letter paper was very crumpled, and it was obviously rubbed many times, indicating that Zhao Hua had not taken out the letter since he came back.

"Before I look at it again, I'd like to hear you explain."

"The subordinates don't dare to say it."

Although he was angry, Zhao Zheng had not yet reached the point of angrily beheading his courtiers, he opened the letter and read that it turned out to be Ji Chong's resignation letter.

He knew that it was dangerous to let Yingbu go to Xingdu, so he followed him, but he was afraid that Zhao Zheng would not agree, so he wrote a letter of resignation and asked Zhao Hua to delay it for a few days. At that time, even if Zhao Zheng did not agree, he had already arrived in Xingdu, so he had to let it go.

"Okay, this is just a little bit of territory, and you start to play with me, you bastards don't know what to do, you have to do that desperate thing, Lao Tzu doesn't give you enough salary to spend, or you don't have enough wives and concubines, all of them are acting privately from Lao Tzu."

The whole courtyard was filled with Zhao Zheng's roar, and Wei Huo was also palpitating when he stood outside the door, secretly saying that Zhao Hua had done something wrong to provoke Zhao Zheng to be so angry.

While thinking that he still has to cover up the ugliness for Zhao Zheng, after all, the roaring monarch is not welcome. He commanded the guards to quickly form two lines of defense, and instantly emptied all the servants around the courtyard.

The lord was angry, Da Sima knew the importance of the lord's march into the grassland, and had no choice but to agree to Ashinayan's conditions, and he couldn't bear to see Yingbu go alone, so he was willing to follow in vain.

When he handed me the letter, he also asked me to convey a few words to the lord, if he is gone, he will return to Gushan to be punished; If he dies, he will repay the great grace of the lord for saving his life in the past. ā€

Zhao Zheng clutched the letter tightly, the corners of his eyes suddenly moistened, he and Ji Chong didn't know each other, from seeing each other and killing each other, to finally becoming confidants. It can be said that Ji Chong is a minister who has few trusted generals and will lead the military generals in the future.

Now it's okay, Yizi was forced to assassinate Donghu Khan, and his friends went with him with guilt, and he always faced this situation of losing a pair.

"You go down, I want to be alone." Zhao Zheng sat slumped in the chair, from Chunniang to the carpenter, and then to Yingbu and Ji Chong today. or forced, or active, in the final analysis, they are not strong enough, and they are always forced by others.

"Ashina Yan, you're in trouble", Zhao Zheng silently wrote down the name. The last time he lost two relatives because of Ji Zhan, Zhongyuan was shocked; This time, it is better to deal with it in advance, so that Donghu will also be shocked.

"Wei Huo, what are you doing, sneaky, Zhao is taking a bath inside, or tryst with that little girl."

The only one who dares to call her name in Gushan is Meng Qian, and the longer she stays in Gushan, the more she understands Zhao Zheng, and the more she likes Zhao Zheng. I can't wait to take Zhao Zheng back to Qin now, it doesn't matter if I am a marquis or not, I will fulfill the marriage contract given by the king of Qin first.

However, Zhao Zheng has never admitted that firstly, he does not like Mengqian at all, and secondly, he does not want to be married by a certain country and rely on the forces of other countries.

In this troubled era of the Warring States, what he has to do is to rely on a pair of fists, a clever mouth, and the ideas and technology that are thousands of years ahead in his mind, to maneuver among the princes of other countries and fight his own country.

"Defend the fire, pass on my military orders."

Wei Huo hurriedly entered the door, took out a small notebook, and nervously remembered:

The military advisory group set out on the same day to control the lower-ranking officers of the Tatam subordinate and make them available to us; send the backbone of the cavalry battalion to the grassland for training, study the cavalry combat methods of the grassland people, and seek opportunities to break through; Encourage the Tatamuk to unify Linhu, on the one hand, consume the forces of the Tatam tribe and increase our forces, and on the other hand, take the opportunity to train troops and adapt to grassland operations.

"Lord, is this plan codenamed, and what is the level of secrecy?"

Zhao Zheng thought for a while and said: "The code name is 'borrowing chickens to lay eggs', and the secrecy level is set to confidential level 2." You send it to the archives for the record, and tell Wei Lian to ask him to hand over a list of shadow guards to me. ā€

The chicken nest has been built, it can be said that it was exchanged for Ji Chong and Yingbu's life, and the price is so much, you must always fatten this chicken well.

From the point of view of intelligence, Tatamuk firmly believes in the gods of heaven and does not have much scheming in the city, so there is one more chance, and the solid mountain will be like a vine, gradually climbing around the entire grassland.
