Zhang Lang frowned and said, "Money, money!" I don't know who said that money is like dung? It's a bullshit! It's really hard to move without money! ”

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "Big brother has also gotten into the money eye!" Zhang Lang smiled, "Money is a good thing!" With it, ordinary people can live in a good house, marry a beautiful wife, and be comfortable for a lifetime; With it, how many great things can the country do! In fact, governing the country is the same as governing the family, there is only one thing, making money! Without money, nothing can be done, and no ideals can be realized! ”

Huang Yueying nodded and said, "Big brother is right!" As big as the country, laughing at the individual, this money is always in the center! Then he pursed his lips and smiled, "However, if this is heard by the people of the Shi clan, I am afraid that I will praise and belittle the eldest brother behind my back!" ”

Zhang Lang scoffed, "These guys are just pretending to be garlic!" One by one, the mansions in Washington are full of fine clothes and jade food, and the beautiful wives and concubines hug each other left and right, and then put on a sanctimonious appearance to preach some bullshit truths, which is really the most hypocritical group of people in the past! Even their Confucius himself said, 'Food and clothing are followed by etiquette', they are good, and their tone is higher than that of their sages! is really full of benevolence and morality, in fact, a belly of men and women prostitutes, in terms of morality, it is not as good as those beggars! ”

Huang Yueying smiled slightly, "Although the eldest brother's words are a bit extreme, they are still very reasonable!" Glancing at Zhang Lang, "But the eldest brother must not go outside to say this, not for anything else, but for fear that it will cause greater vigilance and dissatisfaction among the scholar class!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "Your eldest brother and I are not stupid!" ”

Huang Yueying pursed her lips and smiled.

Zhang Lang frowned and said: "Speaking of the scholar class, I found that the vast majority of the scholar clan is still very stubborn!" We have been working hard to guide them to become merchants and factory owners for so long, and although the effect is there, the vast majority of the nobles are still indifferent! There are really not many scholars like the Zhen family and the Cai family! ”

Huang Yueying pondered: "People have always been nostalgic for the old and afraid of new things, and it is reasonable that those scholars are reluctant to change their ways. ”

Zhang Lang said self-deprecatingly: "I'm afraid there is another reason because of me, the demon king in their eyes." The things I have done before can be said to be completely opposed to the noble class! I not only changed the privileges they enjoyed, but also directly touched their interests, not to mention, let's just talk about the new agricultural tax that was implemented not long ago, hehe, this knife is painful for them! Many scholars tried their best to hide their land, and after I found out, they ended up with a raid! Just one thing, the scholars and I have an enmity against the sky! Frowning, "Sometimes, I really don't want to play cat and mouse with them, I really want to send an army to copy it all the way!" ”

Huang Yueying said with a smile: "But no matter how angry the eldest brother is, he can only think about it in his heart, and he can't really do it, otherwise the situation will be violently turbulent, and Cao Pi will be given a chance!" ”

Zhang Lang nodded and sighed, "That's what I said." ”

Zhang Lang looked up at Huang Yueying and asked, "This year's grain that can be stored in the treasury should be much more than last year, right?" ”

Huang Yueying nodded, "Because of the new agricultural tax, it is preliminarily estimated that the grain collected in the treasury this year will be twice as much as last year." ”

Zhang Lang showed a look of joy, and said with a smile: "Okay, I have food in my hands, don't panic!" Looking at Huang Yueying, "What about the money?" ”

Huang Yueying said: "It is estimated that there will also be a substantial increase, of which the largest increase is the income of the westbound trade route, and the specific amount cannot be estimated for the time being." Then he smiled and said, "But no matter how much it increases, it doesn't cost much!" Fortunately, a large amount of supplies and money and food were captured in this war, otherwise it would not be easy to do! ”

Zhang Lang smiled, thought of the matter of the navy, and asked, "How are the preparations of the navy?" ”

Huang Yueying said: "The naval personnel recruited from all over the country are still gathering here, and three water villages have been set up on the banks of the Yellow River, and the naval army is being trained!" In terms of personnel, it is easy to say, but it will be difficult to build a warship for a while. At present, several large shipyards are being built near Luoyang, carpenters, blacksmiths and shipbuilders from all over the country are gathering here, and it is estimated that the personnel will be there in two months, in addition to this, I have also recruited more than 100,000 people to cut down trees for shipbuilding. It is estimated that it will take at least a year to have the ships we need. And I have a worry, the current advantage of the Cao army can be said to be all in the navy, once they learn that our army is building warships, they will never be indifferent! ”

Zhang Lang frowned and asked, "You mean, they will raid the shipyard?" ”

Huang Yueying said: "There is this possibility, all our large shipyards are on the banks of the Yellow River, if Cao Jun's sailors break in, our hard work will be ruined!" I have ordered the direction of the Tiger Pass to be on higher alert, and to place seven barrage cables from top to bottom on the water from the Tiger Pass to the vicinity of Yanzhou, but I don't think it is safe to build a floating water village on the surface of the Yellow River near the Tiger Pass, and place the infantry in it, equipped with catapults, heavy bed crossbows, and gunpowder weapons, so that nothing goes wrong! ”

Zhang Lang nodded excitedly, "This is good, in this way, the Cao Army and the Navy will not want to raid the Luoyang area!" Looking at Huang Yueying, "Yueying, you can do it." Huang Yueying showed embarrassment, and finally responded with a fist. Zhang Lang noticed Huang Yueying's expression and asked puzzledly, "Yueying, is there any difficulty?" ”

Huang Yueying glanced at Zhang Lang resentfully, "It's Yueying's blessing to be able to work for her eldest brother, it's just that Yueying is currently managing too many things, not only to summarize the civil affairs situation in all aspects, but also to manage the affairs of the Luoyang area, not only to supervise the affairs of the inspection department, but also to lead the preparation of the navy, I am really too busy." ”

Zhang Lang couldn't help but feel distressed, and naturally held Huang Yueying's slender hand, and said to himself: "It's the eldest brother who is not good!" The eldest brother didn't know that so many things were pressed on Yueying's body! Hey, the eldest brother is really confused, he doesn't even care about these things! If Yueying is exhausted, where will the eldest brother find one to compensate! ”

Huang Yueying blushed and said: "Actually, it's nothing hard, it's just that the little sister is worried that too many things will make mistakes in the busyness, and it's not good to let down the eldest brother!" ”

Zhang Lang looked at Huang Yueying and said with emotion: "You are really my virtuous helper!" Huang Yueying's face turned crimson, and she lowered her head, feeling a little chaotic and a little beautiful.
