"Smack!"

A delicate vase was smashed to the ground, shards scattered all over the place.

"Zhao Bu'an dares to make his own claims? Outrageous! ”

Liu Yan is like a fierce tiger that wants to choose people to eat, his eyes are sharp, and his beard is open, which is very different from the gentle and generous image he usually shows in front of people.

A person who usually shows people with a smile starts a fire, and his aura is often surprisingly strong. The staff of the state pastor in the house, all of them looked at each other, and they were silent, and everyone invariably turned their eyes to a young man, hoping that he would stand up and say a few words to dispel the thunderous anger of the state pastor.

Wu Yi felt everyone's eager gaze, and he also felt some emotion in his heart.

Wu Yi, whose name is far away, was originally a native of Chen Liu, Chongzhou, and his father had a good relationship with Liu Yan, Liu Yan moved to Yizhou Mu, and the Wu family moved to Shu with him. Liu Yan had the idea of becoming the emperor on his own, and the person who was good at face said that Wu Yi's sister Wu would have a very noble status in the future, so he asked his son Liu Mao, who followed him into Shu, to marry Wu. The two families are not only old friends, but also have the friendship of in-laws, and Wu Yi is deeply trusted by Liu Yan.

In fact, there is another important reason why Wu Yi is reused by Liu Yan.

The Wu family, like Liu Yan, is not a native of Yizhou, but an outsider who has moved over.

In order to contain the local power of Yizhou, Liu Yan vigorously promoted the outsiders from Sanfu and Jingzhou to Shu, which is the so-called Dongzhou Shi. If Dongzhou Shi wants to compete with the local heroes, they must hold together to keep warm, Chen Liuwu and Liu Yan are world friends, and they are huge businessmen for many generations, with huge family assets, and the four major merchants of the Three Kingdoms "Miwei Zhen Wu", Wu refers to Chen Liuwu, but now it has been changed to Yizhou Wu.

With both background and strong strength, Wu Yi naturally became the leader of Dongzhou Shi.

Seeing that everyone didn't dare to speak, Wu Yi had no choice but to speak.

"It's useless to be angry, but adults are angry."

Liu Yan was still angry, but Wu Yi opened his mouth to persuade him, and he had to give face. The matter was too sensitive to be discussed in front of everyone, so he waved for the others to go out.

Everyone retreated, leaving only Wu Yi.

Liu Yan had calmed down at this time and said, "Ziyuan, did Zhao do this to embarrass the state capital?" Or...... He wants to force me to send troops to respond? ”

Wu Yi understood what Liu Yan meant.

Liu Yan is a pastor of Yizhou and a relative of the Han family, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing perversely, abolished the young emperor and established King Chen Liu, which provoked the princes of Kwantung to rise up and ask for it. It stands to reason that capable Han clan relatives should actively stand up to defend the Han regime, Yanzhou assassin Liu Dai did so, but Yizhou Mu Liu Yan refused to send troops and Baozhou defended itself.

The state pastor has a lot of power than the history of the assassin, and Liu Yan does not send troops, which is quite unusual.

and Liu Yan successively served as the state pastor of the Han family, as well as Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu.

These two people have nothing to do with each other, each for a reason.

At the beginning of 190, Liu Biao, who was listed as the pastor of Jingzhou, had just ridden into Jingzhou alone, and the Jiangnan sect thieves were prevalent, and Liu Biao was busy conspiring with Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others to find a way to eradicate the sect thieves. Besides, although Liu Biao did not participate in the war, he expressed Yuan Shu as the Taishou of Nanyang and supported Yuan Shu to send troops to fight; That Changsha Taishou Sun Jian is also one of the princes, and he went north to Luyang to join Yuan Shu, and the two Jingzhou Taishou Dynasty newly appointed state pastors went to war, which is reasonable.

Youzhou Mu Liu Yu took office earlier than Liu Biao, and also controlled the situation in Youzhou, but Liu Yu is a civil official, a humble gentleman, and a good hand at governing the place. Youzhou is the northern border of the Han Dynasty, directly facing the grassland peoples, and the burden of guarding the northern frontier for the Han Dynasty is very heavy, and Liu Yu does not have much spare strength to crusade against Dong Zhuo. Finally, Beiping is too guarded by Gongsun Chan to send troops, everyone knows that Gongsun Chan has the strongest troops in Youzhou, even if he does not agree with the concept of the state capital, this time it can be regarded as acting on behalf of the state government.

Only Liu Yan, who controls the entire Yizhou, does not say anything.

Liu Yan announced to the outside world that the reason for not sending troops was that Yizhou had just put down the rebellion, was devastated, and was unable to raise troops to respond. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is for the little Jiujiu in his heart.

Although Liu Yan had just arrived in Yizhou, he took advantage of the rebellion's purge of the political situation in Yizhou to wantonly seal officials and win over many people. The vital interests of these people are tied to Liu Yan, and they have both prosperity and loss, but there is no need to worry about what the officials say.

But how to fool the mouth?

**No right, under normal circumstances, it will be over for a while, who knew that Zhao Bu suddenly came to this one. **Let's compare, a Taishou in the Zhao Department knows that he has raised troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, Liu Yan is a member of the Han family, or a Yizhou Mu who is captured by the military and government, why is he not in a hurry at all?

As the saying goes, without contrast, there is no harm.

Liu Yan felt that he was lying down, and he was caught up by Zhao Bu's plot.

Wu Yi said: "It is not very likely to embarrass the state government or force the state government to send troops, I think he is unwilling to be taken from Ba County, and take this opportunity to protect himself." ”

"Self-preservation?"

Liu Yan had words in his mouth, frowned and pondered, and soon realized that he might be a fan of the authorities and think too seriously about the matter, Zhao Bu has served in the local government for many years, how can he have such a clever experience in political struggle.

"Yes, it's self-preservation! This guy knew that I had decided to take him down, and he was desperate and desperate. Knowing this, I should have been more decisive some time ago, and directly used the corruption issue of the Ba County Order to remove his Ba County Taishou, and there would be no follow-up. ”

"At that time, I wanted to walk more steadily, but I didn't expect the night to be long and dreamy."

Wu Yi comforted: "Zhao has been operating in Ba County for many years, and his prestige is very high, and he has made great contributions to quelling the rebellion. The Kanto Consultation with Dong Zhuo was an emergency, and no one knew in advance that it would be like this, so adults don't have to worry about it. ”

Liu Yan nodded silently and said, "The matter has come to this point, how does Ziyuan think to deal with it?" ”

Wu Yi was confident: "Dong Zhuo acted angrily and resentfully, Zhao responded to the Kwantung princes to ask Dong, and the people responded to the sky, if the state government stopped it, it would cause more discussions among the people, and it would be useless for the adults to clear their reputation." The Kwantung princes fought against Dong Zhuo and mobilized so many men and horses, the daily consumption of grain and grass was not a small amount, and the war could not be fought for too long. According to the following opinion, it is better to let Zhao Bu continue to toss, and when this matter is over, it is not too late to take him down. ”

Liu Yan said again: "But Zhao is recruiting. ”

"It doesn't matter. Some time ago, the state capital received the current year's taxes from the counties, including Ba County. Zhao Bu recruited troops and horses in Jiangzhou City to expand the troops, without the state government's appropriation, all he spent was his own money, even if he had some savings for many years as an official, how long could he support it? No matter how much he expands his army, he is no match for the state army. The more you expand your army, the sooner you will be unable to bear it, and adults don't need to care. ”

"Ziyuan's intention to acquiesce to Zhao's participation in the crusade against Dong Zhuo?"

"Exactly. However, Zhao Bu claimed that raising troops to fight against Dong Zhuo would still have some negative impact on the state capital, and we still need to let the county officials guide them well to minimize the adverse effects. ”

Liu Yan pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"Acquiescing to what Zhao did is too passive."

"In this way, the state government openly supported Zhao Bu's righteous act, and immediately issued a document to inform the counties: Yizhou is newly determined, needs to rest and recuperate, and it is not suitable to use troops, but Dong Zhuo has done many evils for the capital, and Yizhou should not be left alone, and Ba County, which was least affected by the rebellion, was specially ordered to send troops on behalf of Yizhou Mansion to participate in the righteous act. The state capital will prepare sufficient food and grass for Zhao Taishou, and when the new army is completed, he will immediately send troops to the king! ”

"In this way, all aspects can be explained, and the people do not need to worry."

"Zhao Bu wants to protect himself in the name of discussing Dong Zhuo, and in that bluff, we don't want him to get his way. Didn't he say he wanted to go to King Qin? Okay, I'll fulfill him, give him food and grass, and help him make his momentum bigger, and if he doesn't leave, then I won't be ...... to blame."

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yan's mouth.

Zhao Bu thought that he had grabbed a life-saving straw and blackmailed the state government, but the state government used his strength to kick the ball back to Zhao Bu. Arch Zhao high and force him to send troops. He goes, walks on the front foot, and changes people too much, after all, Ba County can't be too guarded for a day, at most, he announced that Zhao Bu will arrange a seemingly remarkable position in the state capital, and he will rise and fall secretly; If you don't go, it is inconsistent with the previous statement that you swore to ask Dong, the people's will will be lost, and they will definitely bear the scolding of the people, and the state government will take the opportunity to take him, which is called very happy.

Whether he goes or not, Zhao Bu can't continue to rely on the position of Bajun Taishou.

Engage in struggle, you Zhao is still far away.

Wu Yi was convinced: "My lord!"

Just when Liu Yan was thinking about how to deal with Zhao Bu, a caravan passed through the canyon and entered the Flying Fish Territory. A young man walked into the office of the Flying Fish Collar, and it was Su San, who had just returned from the south.

"Yo, you're back so soon?"

Xun Yan looked very happy when he saw Su San, and beckoned Su San to sit down.

"Thank you, Mr. Xun."

After Su San sat down, Xun Yan asked again, "Where did you go?" How's it going? ”

"All the way south, I was going to go south from Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and it was best to transport the high-grade war horses to Jingzhou, even if I couldn't get to Jiangxia, at least I could get Nanyang. But when they came to Chenliu County, Yanzhou, the Kwantung princes began to crusade against Dong Zhuo, recruiting troops and buying horses, and the war horse market rose sharply. ”

"Chen Liutaishou took a fancy to the war horse we brought, and explicitly asked for it. Thinking that the ant caravan was going to run long distances from north to south, it was very important to have a good relationship with the government along the way, so he sold it to him. Chen left a bumper harvest, and we came back with a batch of grain from the local area by the way......"

Xun Yan listened quietly and nodded from time to time.

Su San was born in a businessman, proficient in business affairs, and the way of business, Xun Yan thought that it was impossible to be better than Su San, so he was happy to give Su San power and let him wander outside.

But Xun Yan is not completely letting go, he will focus on the key points.

The ant caravan is a new caravan, the most important thing is to open up the situation as soon as possible, although the high-grade war horses sold to the south can add a lot of value, but only with a limited number of war horses, the ant caravan wants to rise in many caravan competition, it is not an easy thing. Besides, the south can open up the situation by selling horses, but what about the north? With only a limited number of high-grade war horses, even with Su San operating, the caravan could not develop too fast.

After thinking about it, Xun Yan thought that Su San should be given more resources.

Provinces now have no way to give caravans more starters, but they do have good goods.

For example, Ba Xiangqing!

Ba Xiang Qing is a special product of the people, and only large tribes with a relatively high degree of development can brew. After accepting the Qinggu tribe as a vassal force, Zhululing also mastered the manufacturing technology of Baxiangqing, and the output was higher than that of any of the Erren tribes, but Zhululing was not the only player territory that could sell Baxiangqing in the game.

There are many tribes.

If you don't invest in the tribe, so can other lords or legions.

Although most of the tribes are not developed enough because of the increasing cost of investment, there are always a small number of tribes that meet the conditions and begin to produce Baxiangqing. Other territories have not been able to monopolize the market quota, and they have a monopoly like the Zhulu Collar, but they can buy things with a quota, including special products, and there are gradually other player forces on the market to sell Ba Xiangqing, but the number is very small.

A small amount of shipments cannot bring a price impact to the deer collar.

The tribes are all in Yizhou, and the emergence of new sellers has not changed the concentration pattern of Baxiang Qing production areas.

Because of this, Ba Xiangqing is still as expensive as ever, and the prices in the east and north are also high. If the ant caravan masters the resources of Baxiang Qing, it will be of great help to Su San to expand the living space of the caravan.

Technically speaking, Zhululing has mastered the brewing technology of Baxiangqing, and Feiyu Ling, which is part of Zhululing, also has the ability to produce Baxiangqing. In Bohai County, which is far away from the place of origin, Ba Xiangqing is produced, and the profit bonus brought by the distance from the production area is enjoyed, and the unit income is much richer than the main one!

There are no technical obstacles, and the next biggest problem is how to avoid others from thinking about the connection between the flying fish collar and the deer collar through Ba Xiangqing. This is actually not difficult to solve, because it is the ant caravan that sells wine, and on the surface, the caravan operates independently, and the Flying Fish Territory is just a trading base that the caravan passes through, and outsiders have no chance to know that Ba Xiangqing is from the Flying Fish Territory.

The ant caravan ran a long distance from north to south, as far south as Jingzhou, which was close to the origin of Baxiang Qing.

Many of the caravans that bought wine in Zhululing traveled back and forth between Jingyi, and it was easier for Jingzhou to buy Baxiangqing. The ant caravan could claim that it bought wine from Jingzhou and shipped it back to the north for sale, and as long as the quantity of shipments was controlled, I believe that no one would arbitrarily think that there was a problem.

The north sold wine, the south sold horses, and the business of the ant caravan was all alive.

The small production of Ba Xiangqing in Flying Fish Collar can not only help the ant caravan expand its business, but also achieve self-hematopoiesis and alleviate the dependence on the main fund, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

Before the battle began, Xun Yan went back to report to the deer.

His idea was unanimously approved by Yu Buzhi and Xu Shu.

Xu Shu also thought of another benefit: the original intention of establishing the ant caravan was to ensure the food supply of the flying fish collar, and the current food shortage is not large, and the core mission of the caravan has become a foil. In the Flying Fish Collar Brewing Baxiang Qing, food consumption has intensified, which can just allow the caravan to increase the scale of food procurement, and can help the caravan enhance its influence and voice in the grain market!

During this time, Flying Fish Collar has organized chefs to quietly make wine in a corner of the city.

Now, it's time to tell Su San the news.

"Su San, tell you something......"

"That's true!"

Su San stood up excitedly.
