After Liu He got married, Liu Yu and Cai Yong finally breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to stare at him all day long, which made Liu He feel a lot freer, and he could finally calm down and do something to lay a foundation and seek a long-term future.

The grain, salt, cloth and some valuable commercial goods brought by Mi Fang from Qu County were all taken over by Liu He, although there were a lot of them, but with Liu He's current appetite, he still felt that he was not full. In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the Mi family in the East China Sea to travel to Youzhou, Liu He offered Mi Fang a very fair price, and did not deliberately reduce the price and exploit it, which made Mi Fang feel very useful.

Although there is no shortage of food in Youzhou, it is always good to hoard more, in case of drought and famine, it can come in handy. Salt and cloth are the necessities of life that the Hu people in the north need for a long time, and the output of Youzhou in this area has not been able to be raised, especially the output of cloth is even lower, if it can cooperate with Xuzhou for a long time, these two alone will have great profits.

In order to facilitate trade in the future, Liu He established a trading house in Jicheng, named "Maoyuan", which specialized in the distribution of goods in the direction of Xuzhou. Because this firm was directly injected by Liu He, the future income and expenditure will not go through the state and county treasury, and only need to pay a certain amount of commercial tax to the Jicheng government according to the volume of goods, and the part of the profit will go into Liu He's pocket.

Xuzhou has taken a fancy to the high-quality weapons and armor made in Youzhou, as well as new farm tools, as well as high-quality cows and mares and even Hu Nu, and these materials or commercial goods are basically Youzhou's specialties, and even strictly control the export to the outside world, if you can't get Liu He's permission, you can't buy it with money.

Because the Youzhou Fifth Army had just been formed and expanded, Liu He's own troops were in need of weapons and armor, so this time Youzhou did not provide much military supplies to Xuzhou, only 1,000 bows, 500 crossbows, 2,000 spears, 1,000 hooks, 2,000 leather armor, and 500 iron armor.

In addition to the military resources used by these individual soldiers, Liu He also quietly mobilized a number of large weapons used to defend the city, such as bed crossbows, Semen knife carts, and thunderbolt carts and other lethal guys. Although there are only dozens of them, they are also well-intentioned, and I hope to help Tao Qian.

Liu He also wanted to sell Tao Qian more war horses, but the cargo hold of the fleet was limited, and the war horses were not like other dry goods that could fill the cabin, so in the end, he could only deliver two hundred fully trained war horses to Xuzhou first. If the direction of Xuzhou still wants to buy more, then it can only continue to send the fleet north.

As for other less sensitive commercial goods such as farm tools, Liu He basically supplied them to the Mi family openly, anyway, even if these things could increase Xuzhou's production, they would not threaten Liu He. On the contrary, it can benefit the people, and there is no need to control it.

Mi Fang was worried all the way when she came, but when she left Jicheng, she was in high spirits. This trip to Youzhou not only allowed the Mi family to make a lot of money, but also befriended the Liu family and established a relationship of mutual trust with Liu He.

Mi Fang originally wanted to go deep into the hinterland of Youzhou to visit, but he learned that the people from the Qiao family in Lujiang and Anhui County had arrived in Jizhou. So he hurriedly left Jicheng with the fleet. His sister-in-law failed to grab the first one to marry into Liu's mansion, and she definitely couldn't be the third one in Qiao's family, Mi Fang thought about going back to Qu County to get the marriage between the Mi and Liu families done, so that his heart could be completely down-to-earth.

When Liu He sent Mi Fang aboard. specially reminded Mi Fang to pay attention to Liu Bei's movements in Qingzhou, and never let his brother Mi Zhu have an in-depth relationship with Big-eared Liu, so as not to let the entire Mi family be eaten by him and there is no scum left.

Mi Fang had also heard of Liu Bei's name, but he was not impressed by Liu He's words in his heart. Because in Mi Fang's view, Liu Bei is compared with Liu He, regardless of status, prestige and power. It's too far away, even if his brother Mi Zhu has a muddy mind, he can't do the stupid thing of alienating the Liu family in Tancheng and getting close to Liu Bei.

After sending Mi Fang away, Liu He spent two days moving out of Taifu's mansion and living with Cai Yan in the newly renovated Gongzi's mansion. This mansion was originally the private property of the Xu family, a big family in Jicheng, and in order to further befriend Liu He, the Xu family sold this mansion to Liu He at a very low price.

Since Xu Miao became Liu He's staff, the Xu family's position in Jicheng has become more stable, and the clansmen have gradually transferred the land under their names to the outside world according to Xu Miao's suggestion, and then used the money from the sale of land to make commercial investments, and found that the family's income was more than double that of before.

As a descendant of the Xu family, Xu Miao naturally couldn't watch the Xu family go to Liu He's opposite side of Liu He, so he gave several admonishments to the patriarch, so that the Xu family quietly turned around in secret, and changed from a big landlord to a businessman, so as to avoid conflicts with some of Liu He's land policies in the future, which can be said to be a very long-term plan.

Although Liu He restricted and cracked down on the big landlord class, he encouraged commercial operations, and as long as he did not engage in illegal monopoly operations such as hoarding, Liu He would not only not restrict them, but would also provide some convenience and preferential treatment.

It's just that Liu He didn't say a lot of things, and he wouldn't publicize some of his ideas with great fanfare, so only a discerning person like Xu Miao would notice the difference between Liu He.

Although Liu He and Cai Yan moved into Gongzi's Mansion, they did not separate from Liu Yu, but because the original Taifu Mansion was too small and Liu He's subordinates were numerous, they lived separately. Liu He has only married a daughter-in-law now, and there are two rooms that can be seen in the future, if they all marry into Liu's mansion, a small west courtyard can fit so many people.

Separation and family separation are two completely different concepts, which not only involve the division of family property, but more importantly, once the family is separated, the family affection will become weaker, which is not the result Liu He wants.

Liu Yu agrees with his son moving out of Lu to live, otherwise Liu He would not have moved a few days after getting married. Liu Yu felt that taking the opportunity of Liu He's marriage, he could just let his son open another house, so that the space belonging to Liu He could be more open, so that the father and son would always stay together, and it would inevitably be a little constrained.

Although Liu He now lives in a new mansion, the family's accounts are still taken care of by Da Ou's family, and dinner is also eaten together as a family every day. In order to enhance the affection between the family, Liu He specially asked the carpenter in the city to make a set of long dining tables that imitate the West, which can not only allow the family to talk intimately with each other, but also quietly change the habit of everyone kneeling on the couch to eat.

What made Liu He speechless the most was that when he moved, Liu He was going to move the new furniture in the study of the West Courtyard to the new mansion, but he was stopped by Liu Yu. Liu Yu told Liu He that the study room in the West Courtyard was still kept for him, so it seemed close, Liu He believed it, and when he came back a few days later, Liu Yu was already sitting on the ground in the Taishi chair and reading the scrolls borrowed from his in-laws Cai Yong.

When he saw Liu He, Liu Yu was not embarrassed, and confidently told his son that someone had to clean and take care of the study every day, and he didn't feel at ease about letting others do it, so he simply did it himself.

Okay, Liu He was "calculated" by his own father, and he had no place to reason, so he had to urge a few carpenters to hurry up and make a full set of furniture needed in his study. Fortunately, these craftsmen have already made two sets of new high-style furniture, and now they are familiar with the way, and they don't have to wait too long for Liu He.

The day after Liu He moved into the Gongzi Mansion, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit, as if everyone had been waiting for this day for a long time.

At the beginning, people also paid attention to their image and identity, and they all took advantage of the night to come quietly in a carriage, but later because there were too many people who wanted to visit Liu He, and they didn't know who was the first to break the rules, so as long as they saw Liu He in the house, everyone no longer divided night and day, and quickly squeezed into the prince's mansion.

The first group to visit Liu He was the messenger sent by the Taishou of the counties of Youzhou, they had arrived in Jicheng before Liu He got married, and this time they were impatient to visit Liu He alone, but they wanted to fight for more benefits for the county.

For example, the newly appointed Taishou Weidun of Yuyang County sent three officials in charge of culture, education, reclamation and finance, Peng Shi, Tian Cao Pengshi, and Jin Cao Pengshi, who were in charge of culture and education, reclamation and finance, to visit Liu He, hoping to ask for more places for Yuyang to study in Youyan Library, some high-quality seeds and farm tools, and the poverty alleviation and relief fund that had just been established in the state.

The officials of other counties came to visit Liu He, and they always had to bring some valuable gifts, but these guys sent by Weidun were empty-handed, and they confidently said that Yuyang is now poor, and he is really poor and has no money to give gifts to Gongzi, so he urgently needs Gongzi's help.

Liu He was made to cry and laugh by Wei Dun's hand, and he asked the scholar in charge of Yuyang County's cultural and educational affairs with some curiosity: "Yuyang is now sparsely populated, why do you want so many places to go back?" ”

Xueguan Peng Shi is a serious old man in his fifties, and he replied to Liu He: "It is precisely because Yuyang is now sparsely populated that it is more necessary for scholars to come to educate the people and govern the county, otherwise in the long run, the people of Yuyang will only become fewer and fewer!" ”

Liu He said again: "Yuyang wants more places, he should go to Hanzhou Mu and Cai Daxue, I am only in charge of military affairs in Youzhou, and I can't manage these things." ”

The scholar Peng Shi didn't leave, and complained to Liu He: "Before coming to Jicheng, the county guard specially explained that all the things in Yuyang can be found by the eldest prince, and he also said that the eldest prince promised before leaving Di Ping, but now you are pushing back, obviously trying to repay the debt!" ”

Liu He turned his head to look at Tian Cao Pengshi and Jin Cao Pengshi from Yuyang, and the two nodded vigorously together, looking at what Wei Dun told them the same way.

Yes, for the sake of Yuyang's disaster in the past few years, Liu He said that he couldn't let a few "masters" go back empty-handed, right? He increased the number of students allocated to Yuyang County from six to ten, and wrote a note in his own handwriting, asking the Macheng Farm Tool Workshop to give priority to supplying Yuyang with 300 pairs of heavy quyuan plows and 200 pairs of light ploughs, and finally had to allocate a special amount of poverty alleviation relief funds to Weidun.

Liu He hadn't sent away the visiting officials from Yuyang yet, and the escort Tao Kuan came to tell him: "Son, there are several officials in Zhuo County holding the letterhead of Taishou Zhang Zan and asking to see him outside the mansion gate. ”

"Well, there's another bunch of debt collectors!" Liu He suddenly felt that his head was big, and he couldn't wait to move back to Taifu's mansion to live. (To be continued......)
