And compared to this, the other party was attacked, obviously because of something. And such a thing, Zhang Jiashi knew with his knees that it was definitely not a good thing.

The other party's injuries didn't seem too serious, after all, when Huan Su rescued the other party, preliminary treatment had already been carried out. That's why Zhang Jiashi found that the other party's spirit was not bad.

In the following consultation, Zhang Jiashi focused on asking who was chasing him. After all, in Zhang Jiashi's imagination, it is very likely that Zhao Gao or some remnants of the Six Kingdoms would do such a thing.

However, after Zhang Jiashi said in a firmer tone from the other party that he didn't know who was chasing him, Zhang Jiashi was stunned for a while. After all, for Zhang Jiashi, this point made him speechless.

And through the communication with this middle-aged man, Zhang Jiashi heard one thing, that is, the other party didn't think that Zhao Gao did such a thing.

Zhang Jiashi, who figured this out, quickly thought of a problem, that is, with Zhao Gao's current identity and power, he would not do such a stupid thing in order to deal with him. After all, Zhang Jiashi himself is quite aware of his "bad deeds" before this.

The other party took out a tough leather bag sealed with fire paint from his arms, and then handed it to Zhang Jiashi. After receiving this item, Zhang Jiashi could see how important the contents were from this specially processed leather bag.

And he didn't open the leather bag in this place, but told the middle-aged man to recuperate in this place for a period of time, and then Zhang Jiashi took the lead and left this room.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

After taking Chen Ping, Li Zuoche, Sun Po, Zhang Cang and others to his office room, Zhang Cang, who walked at the end, closed the door and told the guards outside the door not to let others come in casually.

After all, he also knew very well that the contents of this leather bag were not trivial.

After glancing at the people who were seated one after another, Zhang Jiashi tore open the intact fire paint of the leather bag, and then took out three pieces of paper from it.

Why does Wang Li have this kind of thing that has not yet been circulated in large quantities? Very simply, in the first few contacts, Wang Li also saw the benefits of this kind of paper in the reply letter from General Zuo's Mansion, so after several contacts, Wang Li, who also got some amount of paper, naturally began to use this kind of thing.

And Zhang Jiashi originally planned to popularize the paper thing. However, Zhang Jiashi, who had never received any news of the paper that originally belonged to the First Emperor Yingzheng to Xianyang, has only been able to popularize this thing as much as possible in Liaodong County.

Of course, there is another factor in this, that is, the amount of bamboo in Liaodong County is quite scarce, and if we continue to use a large number of bamboo slips, in terms of local production, it will not be able to maintain for too long.

And Wang Li recorded a lot of content on these three pieces of paper. But after Zhang Jiashi read it and handed it to his chief subordinate Chen Ping, he didn't say anything, but fell into deep thought.

And after Chen Ping finished reading the content, his eyelids jumped inadvertently. But just like Zhang Jiashi's performance, Chen Ping handed the three pieces of paper to Zhang Cang beside him, and didn't say too much.

It wasn't until a long while, after Sun Po slowly lit three pieces of paper with a fire fold, that Zhang Jiashi slowly said his thoughts: "I don't know what General Wang thinks of our suggestions?"

After saying this, Zhang Jiashi directly looked at Chen Ping, who slowly took a breath and said, "My lord, the general asked me to hold the border and not be able to engage the troops of Liaoxi County unless necessary, and we are also doing this." However, the Admiral has asked us to rush to buy grain from the neighboring counties, is this a matter too much?"

Chen Ping knows very well that in many counties in the mainland, this year's harvest will not be very good. For this kind of robbery while the fire is burning, Chen Ping, who was originally a farmer, is very resistant in his heart.

Moreover, Chen Ping can also easily judge a problem, that is, if Zhang Jiashi really wants to do this, it will inevitably make the situation worse in the counties including Liaoxi County, Guangyang County and the hometown of Qi State.

The other party obviously saw the fundamental weakness of Liaodong County now, that is, in terms of the population base of Liaodong County, once it is really like the chaotic future that Wang Li judged in his heart, the capital that Zhang Jiashi can get under this foundation is too weak.

Therefore, even if Chen Ping was opposed, he did not choose too strong words, but used this obscure tone. Since he didn't want Zhang Jiashi to do this kind of robbery, he knew very well that the opportunity he could get by doing so was not something they could make up for elsewhere.

Zhang Jiashi heard Chen Ping's words, and for a while, he didn't expect Chen Ping to think of such a long-term thing, so he said what he thought in his heart: "Chen Sima, if we do this, what will be the benefits and ...... What price do we have to pay?"

Chen Ping, who heard this, sighed lightly in his heart, and he didn't complain about Zhang Jiashi's choice, after all, as long as there are ambitious people, they will have this kind of thinking, and he has followed Zhang Jiashi for so long, so he is naturally quite satisfied with Zhang Jiashi's changes that he may not have noticed himself. Because this is one of the necessary qualities of a passing leader.

Being ambitious is often not a good thing, but no one really wants to do things under someone who is not ambitious. People go to high places and water flows to low places, this truth is the same for the ages, and Chen Ping naturally can't get rid of the world.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ping looked at Zhang Jiashi and said, "My lord, if you follow Ping's inference, your lord will have to pay a considerable amount of money in order to make it difficult to mobilize grain in some places. ”

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Zhang Jiashi was stunned for a moment, because he didn't think of that aspect at all.

Seeing Zhang Jiashi's reaction, Chen Ping and others saw that if the problem was good, then there was a problem. And Chen Ping was not only amused, but also relieved, after all, Zhang Jiashi's attitude towards some things has not changed much.

It's a pity that now that things have come to this point, they can't turn back either.

That's right. If they want to go on, they will have to do something, no matter what the consequences will be, or what will be the cost......

Sun Po and Li Zuoche sat opposite Chen Ping, and after they clearly saw the glimmer of light flashing in Chen Ping's eyes, they knew very well that Chen Ping had made up some determinations.

For Sun Po, once he really wants to get to that point, he doesn't have much feeling. It's not entirely about loyalty to people, it's that he doesn't care much about how many people have lost what happened before the chaos came. After all, compared to these people, the longer the chaos lasts, the more people will lose more things.

In that case, why lose the big because of the small?

As the saying goes, if Zhang Jiashi can get the strength to quickly calm down the troubled times, then it will be a key point that can solve the fundamental problem.

But Li Zuoche didn't think of this, he thought of the life and death of these people, what it had to do with him, and what he needed to do was just to assist the agency to contribute to the governance of North Korea in the future.

He also thought that once Zhang Jiashi really sent troops to Liaoxi and officially entered the competition for the world, then the stronger Zhang Jiashi's own strength, the higher the chance of success.

Although he hated the Great Qin Empire, he knew very well that the death of his relatives, including his grandfather Li Mu, had nothing to do with Zhang Jiashi.

He is not the kind of person who is unreasonable, after all, after a few years in other worlds, he is out of Zhao Wang Chen Yu, and he also has a good friendship with Zhang Er, the king of Changshan.

As for Zhang Cang, who was sitting next to Chen Ping, although he couldn't see the front of Chen Ping's face, he could see from the corner of his eye that the two of them were quite unimpressed with this matter, and Zhang Cang knew very well that this fellow of his was also gurgling and bubbling with bad water, or had such an idea.

Chen Ping thought about it for a long time before he said what he wanted to say:

"My lord, I think that with our current financial resources, we can still use the gold in our stock to buy those high-priced grains. There is no need to worry too much about this. On the contrary, whether we can use enough money to get the corresponding food is completely beyond our control. ”

Chen Ping's words made everyone else nod, after all, Chen Ping said very reasonably, sometimes, it is not that they have enough money to get enough grain, and how much grain the seller can have is completely out of their control. What they can do is more to buy each other's grain stocks, or as much grain as they can get their hands on, it's as simple as that.

Zhang Jiashi's Zuo General's Mansion is not short of gold, what is lacking is copper coins, and it is impossible to count on copper coins for large grain trade, which is an advantage for Zhang Jiashi's Zuo General's Mansion to do what they will do.

Moreover, even if you take 10,000 steps back, Zhang Jiashi's Zuo General's Mansion is short of money, but with the current foreign trade advantages of Liaodong County, direct barter is also an emergency measure. Of course, Chen Ping didn't want to do this, after all, there was nothing efficient about this approach.

Chen Ping did not directly say what impact this would have on the local situation, after all, he didn't want Zhang Jiashi to shrink back now because he learned the facts.

Some opportunities, like these, are often available but not sought. If they pass up this opportunity, they will give up the best opportunity. Therefore, in Chen Ping's concerns, he naturally will not say some problems that will arise and let the opportunity to solve them be directly lost.

His eyes looked at Li Zuoche and Sun Po opposite, and saw a smile on the corner of their mouths, but after they didn't plan to say anything, he knew very well that these two people also saw a lot of things. They were also reluctant to uncover a question that Chen Ping vaguely avoided mentioning because of their own ideas.

"It's really two foxes, no, it's three. Chen Ping's mind came up with this idea that he himself found quite interesting.

If Zhang Cang, who was thinking about some things, also heard Chen Ping's thoughts, it is estimated that he would be like Li Zuoche and Sun Po, and directly stretched out his middle finger to Chen Ping: "Are you embarrassed to say that the three of us, aren't you just a fox? and the biggest and fattest one in General Zuo's Mansion!!"

Zhang Jiashi, who didn't have much interest in this aspect, naturally didn't know what the four foxes under him were thinking, but continued to listen quietly to Chen Ping's advice.

Chen Ping then said a lot about the details of the action he came up with, of course he knew that his plan would inevitably be modified in many aspects due to the actual situation, but this matter was not something he needed to consider now.

Finally, Chen Ping added: "My lord, no matter what the cost of this matter is, or whether we are willing to do it or not, we must do it." ”

Zhang Jiashi heard Chen Ping's last sentence and nodded subconsciously. He then looked at the other three and asked, "Don't the three gentlemen know if they have any other opinions?"

After Zhang Cang, Li Zuoche and Sun Po glanced at each other casually, they all stood up, clasped their fists at Zhang Jiashi and said, "Lord Hui, there is no better opinion in the next place." ”

This is the tacit understanding between smart people, bad things that are good for their own forces, everyone knows that if such a "fig leaf" is uncovered, their faces will not be too good-looking, in this case, why not push the boat with the current?

Zhang Jiashi saw the reaction of the three people and nodded again, of course he didn't know that he was directly "sold" by his right-hand men again.

Of course, in the hearts of Chen Ping, Zhang Jiashi's existence was not ignored. After all, the fact that they were able to gather together was itself caused by Zhang Jiashi's cohesion ability.

In their hearts, Zhang Jiashi can't or at least be considered a wise man now, but they know very well that although Zhang Jiashi is not a wise man, he is the most important existence, that is, the king of their group.

A group can strategize like a cloud, a fierce general like rain, and a million soldiers and horses, but they often only have one king, and for Chen Ping and them, or in the hearts of these generals and factions, Zhang Jiashi is such an existence.

A unique existence.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

Now that the overall actions for the next plan have been identified, the next step is to go into the details of implementation.

Including the treasury of Zhang Jiashi's mansion, a large amount of gold was transported to Qin Min's army of Lou Shippers, who were constantly increasing the number of ships.

According to Zhang Jiashi's plan for the naval forces, he will divide the increasingly large number of squadrons into multiple sub-fleets at an appropriate time.

Of course, there is no rush in this matter now. First, Zhang Jiashi did not have sufficient management manpower, and second, in the absence of excellent naval commanders, Qin Min had no choice but to continue to be depressed and become the commander of the Lou Chuanshi unit.

Faced with more and more tasks, including the training of recruit troops, the training and integration of newcomers on various sea vessels, and trade tasks, Qin Min is basically tired every day......

For such a heavy pressure, Zhang Jiashi expressed that he understood very well, but he could only comfort his number one "naval commander": "Captain Qin, why don't you find a few people with considerable strength to share the details?"

Qin Min thought about it, but the non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the building boat under his command, although they were not "crooked melons and cracked dates", they were able to take charge of themselves...... Forget it.

In the end, Qin Min had no choice but to pull Chung To, who had a good personal relationship, to make up the numbers. As a result, Chung Du said simply: "If you are not afraid that I will hit the boat, you can suggest it to the adults." ”

Thinking about the possibility that such a thing might happen, Qin Min had no choice but to grit his teeth at Du Cong and make a very uncivilized standard posture that has now become a very uncivilized standard posture for the civil and military forces of General Zuo's Mansion: stretching out his middle finger.

Of course, this is just a small "storm".

......

After a period of time, a large number of Liaodong fleets appeared again in the counties of the homeland of Qi.

The merchants who received this news rushed from the temporary residence area of the nearby county to the vicinity of the sea area where the Liaodong fleet gathered.

But this time it was different from the past, they were greeted not by the few Liaodong County counterparts they were already familiar with, but by more than a hundred Qin troops who carried a few large boxes to the land.

After seeing the stunned expressions of these businessmen, Chung Du slapped his palms a few times with satisfaction.

As a result, a large amount of gold and a half tael, which is simply a piece of gold and yi, blinded the eyes of many merchants.

Du Cong's eyes glanced at these businessmen who did not hide their greedy expressions after coming back to their senses, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly recovered and said directly: "We need a lot of food in Liaodong County, if you can provide what we need, then this little thing is yours!"

After Du Cong said this, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Of course, if you have any thoughts, then you have to weigh whether you have such strength." ”

Chung turned his head to a flag bearer and gestured with his eyes, who nodded knowingly, shaking the flag to make a corresponding signal.

Originally, there were some businessmen who were still unimpressed, but what they saw was that more and more small boats appeared on the sea that were lowered from the big ships, and what was transported on them was not anything, but the brave men of the Qin army who seemed to be holding weapons and wearing armor in their hands.

Seeing the Qin army of this scale, some businessmen who did have other ideas gently swallowed the saliva in their mouths.

......

And in the palaces of several nearby county seats, a scribe with several swordsmen coincidentally appeared.

And these county commanders saw some of the boxes brought by those swordsmen, and asked suspiciously, "Everyone, what is this?"

General Zuo was suffering from the lack of grain in Liaodong, so he had to send people to buy a large amount of grain, and these gifts were just a greeting gift. I also hope that the county commander will be accommodating for the sake of the misery of Liaodong County. ”

The scribe said, clapping his palm slightly, and one of the swordsmen opened the box.

Suddenly, what the county magistrate saw in front of him was a amount of money that he couldn't get even if he was a county magistrate for a lifetime......

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

In the Dingxiangcheng County Guard Mansion in Liaodong County, after Chen Ping glanced at Li Zuoche and others, he tacitly showed a smile.

Xiao He, who rushed back from outside, looked at Chen Ping with an unkind expression: "Don't you know what will happen if you do this?"

"Lord Xiao, Ping and all of you naturally know it, but you can't miss the opportunity. Chen Ping said this very calmly.

And Xiao He shook his head helplessly, and muttered: "Heavens, do you really want to let that kind of day come again, and fall on the tens of millions of people who are already able to live in peace in Great Qin, which should be peaceful?"

...
