Chapter 80: Duke Xuande has come to Luoyang

At the end of the meeting, Liu Wei was very satisfied with the results reached by the council, exceeding his expectations, especially in the end, even the project of the factory area of the new city can be launched, in this era of production efficiency and its underground, if the workers can be divided into different types of work with a detailed division of labor, the efficiency will be greatly improved, even if there is no equipment or the improvement of manual efficiency will be unprecedented;

On the second day after Liu Bian's meeting, a guest came to Liu Bian's house, who was Mi Fang, the younger brother of Xuzhou's big chaebol Mi Zhu, and I have to say that businessmen are always much more efficient than politicians;

Mi Fang came to Luoyang for the first time this time, in Mi Fang's impression, Luoyang was the capital before the Han Dynasty, naturally it should be magnificent and magnificent, but he also knew that Luoyang had been reduced to an abandoned capital after experiencing the disaster of Dong Zhuo, and it should be very dilapidated, but Mi Fang was very shocked from the beginning of his entry into Luoyang, first of all, Mi Fang saw such a large city for the first time, and what was even more shocking was that he didn't see the residents of Luoyang for a long time, only a lot of workers were working, and he didn't even see a city wall, Mi Fang thought that it might have been demolished when Dong Zhuo left, but after thinking about it, it was impossible, this Dong Zhuo just had that heart, but demolishing the city wall was also a huge project, Dong Zhuo didn't need to do that, and Dong Zhuo was in a hurry to escape from Chang'an at that time;

Mi Fang walked for a long time to see the city wall, and found a few people to inquire only to know that the place where many workers were working outside was the newly built new city in Luoyang, and it was only built for a year. If you spend this money on recruiting troops, I don't know how many cities I will be able to capture, I really don't know what this Hongnong King of Luoyang thinks, and he prefers to do the work of prosperous times in troubled times. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

However, after Mi Fang entered the inner city of Luoyang (that is, the old city), the previous prosperous scene really startled him, although he had long heard his brother describe the prosperity of Luoyang in his letter, but the feeling was still different after visiting, it was difficult to imagine that this was Luoyang City that was destroyed by Dong Zhuo; As far as the eye can see, there are taverns, inns, bazaars, and shops everywhere; And Mi Fang also found that as long as there is money in Luoyang City, there are many things that can't be bought elsewhere, you can buy them here, it's simply no taboo, weapons, armor, grain, rice wine are everything, it's just ruined Mi Fang's three views, Mi Fang was thinking in his heart at this time, this Hongnong King Liu Wei allowed the people to trade salt and iron at will, so what does the government rely on to make money? Is it a poll tax? Today's Luoyang population flow is so large, it is difficult to collect the poll tax, and you can buy wine at will, the most annoying thing is that even if someone dares to sell wine in other states and counties, they are eager to hide strictly, Luoyang is good, not only there are taverns everywhere, but also often hear the tavern Xiao Er come out and shout passers-by to go in to drink.

Mi Fang, as a giant businessman's family, is also quite curious about what happened here in Luoyang, I want to see the ruler here, what kind of person is King Hongnong, who has been the emperor for a few days before, Mi Fang arrived in Luoyang for a few days, Liu Bei brothers also came to Luoyang, Liu Bei is a candidate for key political speculation selected by the Mi family, so as soon as Liu Bei arrived in Luoyang, Mi Fang personally went to receive Liu Bei, and took Liu Bei to go around Luoyang to play, and stayed until the evening with Liu Bei and several people into the inn.

In the room of Liu Bei in the evening inn:

At this time, there were only two people in Liu Bei's room, Liu Bei and Mi Fang, Mi Fang explained to Liu Bei the thoughts and positions of the Mi family, in fact, at the beginning, the Mi family and Liu Bei meant that Liu Bei wanted Liu Bei to go to Xuzhou, but when Mi Zhu found the opportunity in Luoyang, he discussed with Liu Bei to go to Luoyang, with the help of Luoyang's military supply to strengthen a force belonging to Liu Bei's own army, looking at the opportunity to develop Xu Tu, the Mi family will vigorously support Liu Bei;

Liu Bei is such a thoughtful person, he doesn't need to understand the meaning of the Mi family, in fact, this is also in line with Liu Bei's interests, and the current situation Liu Bei will go to Luoyang better than to Xuzhou, because no one would have thought that Cao Cao's old man would be killed by Tao Qian's men in Xuzhou in the future, causing Cao's army's large-scale attack on Xuzhou can give the original historical Liu Bei an opportunity; In the current history, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there will be a battle between Dong Zhuo and Liu Wei sooner or later, although Dong Zhuo is much stronger than Liu Bian, but as a speculator, he doesn't have to care so much, because now Liu Zhuo spends money on a large scale to raise mercenaries, and in addition to the steepness of the Hangu Pass in the west, it may not be possible to contain Luoyang, and the most important thing is that as a speculator, as long as there is a war, there will be a chance, but whether this opportunity is in Guanzhong or Luoyang is not important to speculators.

Mi Fang says:

"Xuande Gong, I wonder how many elite soldiers you brought with you to Luoyang this time?"

Mi Fang asked, Mi Fang asked this question firstly to see what Liu Bei's current strength is, and secondly, he is also concerned about how much political capital he can make in Luoyang, you must know that the list was written at that time, recruiting 5000 troops can be appointed as deputy generals in the army, recruiting 10,000 troops can not only serve as deputy generals in the army, but also serve as Shaofu, you must know how important it is to have an official body in your own business, if you don't have an official body, no matter how big your business is, after all, it is just a fat pig captive by the ruler;

"Mr. Zifang, Xuande came to Luoyang in a hurry this time, and led more than 12,000 people to come, but many of the infantry members accidentally lost their weapons in a hurry."

Liu Bei spoke to Mi Fang very politely, which is also related to Liu Bei's own cultivation, in fact, in Liu Bei's opinion, Mi Fang's character is far inferior to his brother Mi Zhu, but this does not prevent Liu Bei from strengthening Mi Fang's mind, this time Liu Bei retreated from the plains when there were only more than 3,000 soldiers left, but after getting Mi Zhu's letter, after knowing the specific policies of Luoyang, he couldn't help but laugh out loud on the spot, with Liu Bei's popularity near Pingyuan City, you must know that Liu Bei also used this place as a base camp to operate, The people in the vicinity trusted him very much, and after Liu Bei saw the letter, he expanded his army every time he went to a county near the plain, and the people who expanded in were all young men, but none of them were armed; Liu Bei's abacus is that someone will come out of the weapon at that time, as for whether it is Liu from Luoyang or Mi from Xuzhou, he doesn't care; In fact, for Liu Wei and the Mi family, Liu Bei's expansion of the army at this time is also a win-win situation.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll find a way to find a way with weapons and equipment, I'll go tomorrow to ask for a meeting with His Royal Highness King Hongnong, and then recommend Xuande Gong to make an appointment with King Hongnong."

At this time, Mi Fang was very happy, he didn't care if there was a weapon or not, there was no requirement on the list, and there was no need to be so troublesome in terms of weapons, it would be really a matter if it was somewhere else, but now it is in Luoyang, there are people who buy weapons on the street, as long as you have money, are you afraid that you can't buy it? This time, Mi Fang's own lieutenant general military position and Shaofu's official position are stable, although he also knows that most of this Shaofu is a fictitious position, but the army of tens of thousands of people must always have someone to coordinate money and food matters with Luoyang, and it is estimated that this Shaofu is doing this job.

Mi Fang and Liu Bei talked about late night in the room, and Mi Fang was still in good spirits and full of energy in the early morning, it is estimated that this is a person who is in good spirits on a happy event; Mi Fang had already made an appointment to meet King Hongnong, and at this time he first went to ask for a meeting and was preparing to introduce Liu Bei; Because although Liu Bei is also a little famous at this time, it has not yet reached the level of being well known, Mi Fang in order to elevate the people he introduced, of course, he can't bring Liu Bei directly, he must first go to King Hongnong to brag about it.

In fact, Mi Fang is definitely adding to the snake by doing this, for Liu Wei, an amateur of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, it is impossible not to know Liu Bei if he doesn't know anyone.

So a meeting began in a cordial and friendly manner at Liu Wei's house。。。。。。。
