"He's hiding something from me." Huang Yueying suddenly thought of this possibility, and couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart, Liu Zhang still had something to hide from herself.

"Gotta figure it out." Huang Yueying made up her mind, she knew that if some things were held in each other's hearts, maybe the little things would make a big deal in the end, so it would be better to explain them clearly.

If he raised a question, Liu Zhang said that he couldn't tell himself, it meant that he shouldn't know, and Huang Yueying still knew that no matter whether it was a courtier or a woman, she shouldn't ask about the king.

Huang Yueying just wants to say her doubts, as for whether to say this matter, it depends on Liu Zhang.

Cao Pi committed suicide by jumping into the sea, in addition to the clans caught in Jieshihaikou, there were also clans in Hebei, Qingzhou and other places were all arrested, Goguryeo has been taken, all the Goguryeo royal family was captured, Wang Yue fought all the way to the vicinity of the Han River, bordering Baekje and Silla.

Liu Zhang, in the name of Huang Yueying and the king of Yan, held a banquet in Yecheng and went to the civil and military banquet.

Now the round table square table produced in Yizhou is popular, basically no need to eat a few times, Cao Chong and Liu Xunzhou do not doubt a table, since the last time Zhou Budo bewitched, Cao Chong has been following Zhou Budo to learn new knowledge, and now he has a good grasp of the number of three seedlings, and began to learn geometric figures.

Just when Cao Chong was happy to learn, Liu Zhang suddenly recruited Cao Chong to Yecheng and interrupted his study, this time Zhou Budo and Liu Xun followed Huang Yue together, and now it is rare to be free, Cao Chong hurriedly asked Zhou Budo questions.

Zhou Budo is already an adult, drinking alone, explaining to Cao Chong while drinking, Liu Xun listened carefully on the side, but he knew it by looking at that expression. Didn't understand anything. I just think it's amazing.

The light is staggered. After the third round of drinking, all the civil and military officers began to congratulate Huang Yueying, looking at the happy men drinking everywhere, Guan Yinping suddenly left his seat and walked out.

"Sister, where are you going?" Guan Xing and Guan Suo were drinking happily, and they both frowned a little when they saw Guan Yinping leave as if he was a little worried. Diao Chan was about to get up when he was pulled by Guan Xing.

"Mother, you sit down and eat vegetables, our silver screen is now a general, and the dream of a general in the past has come true, what else can you worry about such a big girl? Let my sister think for herself. ”

"That's why ......"

"Let's go back and drink." Guan Xing pulled down Diao Chan and poured a glass of wine for Guan Suo, when Guan Yu was there before. Because of Guan Suo's son who only met for a long time, Guan Xing and Guan Suo had some discord. It's just that so many things have happened now, and when I think about it, it's all a child's business, and the two brothers have a good relationship.

Guan Yinping walked outside the door, originally wanting to find a quiet place to sit, but when he turned a corridor, he saw that there was already a person sitting there.

"Miss Latea, why are you sitting here and not going in?" Guan Yinping wondered.

"What are you doing in there? Those big men talked loudly while drinking, they were noisy, and they dripped wine on their beards, and you pushed me, and the dishes were dirty, how could they eat. ”

Latia showed a disgusted expression, and Guan Yinping smiled: "It's better to have one table for one person before." ”

Guan Yinping said this, but he didn't think so in his heart, although it was indeed a little bad for a few people to have a table, but Guan Yinping felt warm, especially sitting at a table with Diao Chan, Lingju, Guan Xing, Guan Suo and others, it felt very good, but it was just ......

"Huh? How did you get out? Latia suddenly looked at Guan Yinping suspiciously.

……

"The grass people congratulate Huang Junshi on the appointment of King Yan."

Because Hebei has just been conquered, it needs to be built, especially Youzhou, everyone knows that it will be a key construction place, and many businessmen have come to Yecheng, ready to get some projects from the government.

Many big businessmen also participated in this banquet, and when it was the turn of the golden fat man, the golden fat man toasted Huang Yueying, and then turned to Liu Zhang and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the villain has a request, and I also know that such a trivial matter should not be told to you, but if I miss today, I am afraid I will not see you again." ”

The fat man said with a little embarrassment, as if something was very urgent for him, but it was not good to open his mouth to Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang looked at the fat fat fat man, picked up a glass of wine and drank it, and said impatiently: "Today's good day for the British military division, if you have anything to say, you can swallow and vomit." ”

"What a good day." Huang Yueying glanced at Liu Zhang dissatisfied.

The golden fat man stepped forward in a hurry, and whispered: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the matter of forgetting worries ...... grass"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"That." Jin Fatzi originally knew that Liu Zhang didn't like this very much, and he was afraid that it was because of special reasons that he let him plant and process it the year before, but now Liu Zhang didn't mention it, and he shouldn't mention it.

But this is related to his own life, and the money he earned last year is far from enough to pay off his debts.

The golden fat man had to stiffen his head and said: "Thank you Your Highness for the opportunity last year, I earned a lot of money, much more than I expected, but I planted it last year, and I planted it this year, but the king of Shu didn't say that it was purchased, and I ...... it."

"I didn't say I was going to buy you, why did you plant it?" Liu Zhang said casually.

"Huh?" The golden fat man's face turned into the color of pig liver, the golden fat man was still very satisfied last year, he didn't know the actual value of the poppy, it was originally sold as medicine, but Liu Zhang's purchase price was higher than he expected, and he made a lot of money.

So I hurriedly planted it this year, but at this time, I heard that Liu Zhang didn't buy it, so wouldn't I drink the northwest wind, and I was in a hurry.

Liu Zhang looked at the appearance of the golden fat man, smiled in his heart, and hooked his hand to the golden fat man, the golden fat man hurriedly put on his face, Liu Zhang said: "Do you still want to make poppy money?" ”

"Yes, yes." The fat golden man replied without hesitation.

"Then you can't plant in Siyang County anymore, you want to move a place, do you have a good place to go?"

"Good place? Of course go, of course go. When the fat man heard that there was a door, the chicken pecked the rice and nodded, last year's income exceeded the estimate, and the fat man felt that as long as he came for another three years, he should be able to pay off the accounts, not five years at all.

"I wonder what Your Highness is talking about?" The golden fat man said nervously.

"Goguryeo."

"Huh? What did the King of Shu say? The fat golden man didn't seem to hear clearly.

"You've heard me clearly, if you want me to say it a second time, think about the consequences." Liu Zhang picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Said slowly.

Merchants are the ones who are most afraid of offending the government. The fat golden man's face turned green with fright. Huang Yueying sat on the side and smiled.

"I heard it clearly, I heard it clearly, but His Royal Highness the King of Shu." The golden fat man said with a bitter face: "The grass people are from Yizhou, this Goguryeo is separated from Yizhou by 108,000 miles?" Also, didn't the people of that place drink blood? What am I doing there? Who are you selling it to? ”

"Sell things to me, and the government continues to buy them. As for whether you go or not, that's your business. Liu Zhang ate two mouthfuls of food, turned to the golden fat man and said: "This is your freedom, but this king wants to tell you in advance that within three months, this king will prohibit the cultivation, production, processing, and hoarding of any opium poppy within the Han Dynasty." Transportation, sales. Buy, your Siyang industry, you look at it yourself. ”

"Huh?" The golden fat man was stunned again, he was not allowed to plant, not to process, not allowed to hoard, not allowed to sell, so what way out he had except to burn all the poppies in Siyang?

The golden fat man has a lot of debts, and it is not easy to find a job to make money, and it is even more difficult to find a job that can repay the debt in five years, so since the poppy made money last year, the golden fat man has been bent on the poppy.

All the capital was invested in planting and processing, and if there was no opium poppy business this time, Jin Fatzi would be completely bankrupt, and this bankruptcy was not a debt.

At the beginning, Liu Zhang ordered Zhang Song to give the golden fat man working capital with an interest-free loan, if this is a loss, the hens borrowed to lay eggs are gone, so how can he turn over.

The golden fat man has a bitter gourd face, and he is going to drip out of sewage.

Goguryeo, what kind of place is that? In the eyes of the Han people, it is a wilderness, a place where birds don't, and the people there are barbarians, without etiquette, and they drink blood, and they are simply beasts.

Especially Jin Fatzi is still a native of Yizhou, because he was just a small family before, he had never heard of Goguryeo, until he later changed to business, and the Jin family's family was all over the north and south of the river, and he grew his knowledge and knowledge, and Jin Fatzi knew that there was a country of Goguryeo.

Where does the fat man want to go to Goguryeo.

But if you don't go to Goguryeo, the huge debt, when the five years comes, you will definitely go to prison.

A year ago, Liu Zhang invented something called labor reform, and all those who committed crimes, as long as they were not sentenced to death, were all sent to various construction sites to work.

Although there have been precedents for prisoners to work in the past, Liu Zhang has never been so fanatical, and the construction of the Hetao used tens of thousands of prisoners and grassland horse thieves to take prisoners, and unlike previous dynasties, Liu Zhang would also give prisoners a meager payment.

But that day, the fat man felt uncomfortable when he thought about it, although he hated the fat on his body, but the fat man didn't want to lose it like that.

The fat man of Jin weighed in his heart which was more painful to go to the wilderness or to go to prison, and finally said to Liu Zhang ruthlessly: "Okay, King Shu, the grass people go to Goguryeo." ”

The fat man thought clearly, where the bird doesn't, as long as the poppy can be grown, he will live there for four years at most, anyway, there is a government to buy it, and the poppy will not worry about the market.

When the deadline arrived, he paid off his debts and said that he would return to Hantu.

Four years, not too much.

"Well, yes, Boss Jin is really the most capable businessman." Liu Zhang praised a sentence, the golden fat man smiled on his face, tears fell in his heart, Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "You businessmen, you can be regarded as a contribution to the imperial court, you can't be treated lightly, you move to Goguryeo, it will definitely cause a lot of losses, you try to relocate, the loss caused by the relocation, the government will subsidize it." ”

"Ah, really? That's great. "The golden fat man was overjoyed, he moved from Siyang to Goguryeo, I don't know how much it would cost, but it is estimated that when he arrived in Goguryeo, all the belongings of the golden fat man were enough to open a workshop, and the processed poppies were also less, and the pressure to repay the debt was very great.

If there is a government subsidy, the subsidy is not too big, the key is that it can start quickly, and the processing scale is large, and the money will naturally be much faster.

Liu Zhang nodded, waved his hand, and the golden fat man went happily.

The move of Jin Fatzi to Goguryeo was conceived by Liu Zhang when he ordered the conquest of Goguryeo, and at this time the eastward movement of the Han strategy was a very important step, which was related to the control of the two countries of Korea and the Japanese slaves.

It is basically unrealistic to conquer these remote places by force alone, and some soft means must be implemented.

If Jin Fatzi's industry was relocated to Goguryeo and a port was opened in Goguryeo, the road to the Japanese slave country would be much closer, and the transportation cost would be saved a lot.

Liu Zhang added many false Taoist priests and fake monks to the missionaries, and temporarily remediated a lot of missionary knowledge, but fundamentally speaking, most of them were actually miners of the Han Dynasty.

In Dahan, the mining of gold and silver has matured, although it is not as deep as the drilling of later generations, but the general gold and silver mining is still completely fine, and the gold and silver mines close to the surface can also be completely found.

Many of the minerals in the Usau country are basically formed by earthquakes and volcanoes, floating on the surface, such as the Iwami silver mine, which is known as the standard country of minerals, and there are basically all kinds of mineral deposits, but they are very few, except for a lot of gold and silver.

These gold and silver deposits, which are not deeply stored, can be found and mined.

Liu Zhang sent these false missionaries over, first to sell the "holy fruit" and to get the Japanese slaves, especially the upper class, to get into this habit.

This is the first thing, and the first step of the second thing, and if this step can't be done, then the second thing doesn't have to be done.

If the import of opium goes well, the false missionaries will have to find gold and silver mines in the process of proselytizing and selling opium, which is a very important task, and Liu Zhang cannot help them in this regard, although Liu Zhang knows the names of several deposits, but he does not know the specific location at all.

If you find gold and silver mines, even one or two, plus the opium input goes well, then you can start the second step.

Let the golden fat man grow a large amount of opium in Goguryeo and transport it to the Japanese slave country for sale, and the demand for opium from the upper class of the Japanese slave country will inevitably make them eager to mine gold and silver mines, so that they can exchange opium for gold and silver, make up for the lack of gold and silver in the Han Dynasty, and promote commercial development.

Not only that, but this move could also control the upper echelons of the Japanese slave state, as long as opium was prevalent, they had to exchange the wealth of the Japanese slave state, and the Han could directly control it.

As for the current Japanese slave state, Liu Zhang only needed to cultivate a navy in the ports opened up by Goguryeo, and on the one hand, clear out the pirates that might arise.

On the other hand, if the Japanese slave country bans smoking like Lin Zexu, Liu Zhang said that it is impossible to go to war, with the current national strength of the Japanese slave country, as long as the Han navy is formed, the smoking ban will definitely not be banned.

Although this process will inevitably catalyze the development of the Japanese slave state, Liu Zhang told the Xu family early on that the Japanese slave state is the inherent territory of the Han Dynasty, and when the economic lifeline is controlled, plus with this name, it is very simple to assimilate Japan.

The only thing needed is to develop the shipbuilding industry quickly, in fact, it does not need to be too strong, and North Korea is not very far from the Japanese slave state.

Strengthen the connection between the Japanese slave state and the central Han Dynasty, ensure that they can fight at any time, and send people to remove and replace the officials of the Japanese slave state at any time. (To be continued......)
