Since Zhuge was destroyed, Liangzhou began to actively prepare for war.

Food and equipment were transported to the front from all over the country.

Of course, with the strength of the government alone, it is naturally somewhat insufficient.

But Liangzhou is an important trade route town.

There is no business that cannot be done, only a business that cannot be negotiated.

Shuzhong's swords, various crossbow machines, and armor were continuously sent to Liangzhou, which used to be sneaky, but now after recovering Longyou, it has gradually become fanfare.

Zhuge Wuhou would never have thought that the wooden ox and flowing horse he invented would actually become a sharp weapon for smuggling grain.

The so-called wooden oxen and flowing horses are actually a kind of wheelbarrow, which is transported by one person, which is very suitable for the mountain road from Shuzhong to Longxi.

In view of the characteristics of the high mountains in Shuzhong and the gentle characteristics of Liangzhou, according to Yang Zheng's prompts, the iron workshop and the wooden workshop of Guzang worked together to create a kind of pulley iron rope wooden car, and some subway rope wooden cars that are difficult to cross for flying apes must pass by, saving a lot of manpower.

Economically, Shuzhong has long been connected with Liangzhou.

No, it's the increasing dependence on Liangzhou.

Shuzhong brocade silk, tea, lacquerware, and pottery need to be sold from Liangzhou.

And the luxury things they need such as Putao wine, mink fur, jade, spices, etc., also need to be imported from Liangzhou.

The logic of the operation of the state is actually the economy.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to fight the Xiongnu because of the money saved by Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing.

The Eastern Han Dynasty collapsed, and the century-long Qiang-Han War dragged down the economy of the Central Plains.

According to Wei Qiang, once Liangzhou cut off the trade route, Shuzhong would immediately fall into crisis.

Liangzhou is a national system, and there is a government to sell and operate bulk commodities.

The Shu State is a smuggling system of the nobles, and the profits do not go to the imperial court, but flow into the pockets of the nobles.

For every point of increase in trade volume, Shu was weakened by one point.

Of course, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves, cutting off trade routes is also very harmful to Liangzhou's economy.

But Liangzhou is used to living a hard life, and he has just eaten, Pu Tao wine, mink fur, jade, and spices are not irreplaceable things, and they can be endured, but Shu may not be able to bear it.

Even many of the palace items of Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, were also transported from Liangzhou.

And it has been increasing in the past two years.

In the whole of Liangzhou, Xiahou Zhi's life is a little more luxurious, but it is not too much.

Especially after giving birth to her sister-in-law Yang Xu, people have changed a lot, and they have begun to have a bit of "Mother Liangzhou" bearing.

Yang Zheng has repeatedly forbidden the extravagance of the government, and he himself is also leading by example.

So far, there are only four wives and concubines, and one is on the way.

As for the generals and Haoqiang, they also went to live a luxurious life.

The burden of the superstructure in Liangzhou is small, so it can travel lightly and participate in the competition in the world.

Just when Yang Zheng and Du pre-deployed front-line military affairs, Meng Guan returned from Hedong.

Five big ox carts squeaked and squeaked to "invite" all the big and small members of Ji Kang's family back to their families, but Liu Ling happened to go back to Qian County, so there was only Ji Kang's family.

Yang Zheng led Du Kuan, Zhang Wei and other celebrities in Liangzhou to greet them.

But all he received was Ji Kang's cold face, "I have never seen such a brazen person!" ”

Du Kuan and Zhang Wei turned their faces away, pretending not to know Yang Zheng.

It is rumored that Ji Kang has never been angry for more than ten years, and today it seems that he is about to break his vows.

I've done everything, and I'm still afraid of being scolded?

Isn't Dong Zhuo cheeky enough to woo Cai Yong?

Yang Zheng smiled with an embarrassed but polite face, "A certain Xiang has admired Ji Zhongsan's name for a long time, so he has to make this plan." ”

It is said that this person is really good-looking, about eight feet long, handsome and elegant, although coarse linen clothes, unkempt, but between gestures, there is a unique temperament.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Kang regained his composure, "In the next is idle clouds and wild cranes, there is no strategy in the chest, and it is useless to make a big deal with the general. ”

The men, women and children in the car also looked at Yang Zheng with blank eyes.

Yang Zheng bowed to them, he wanted to meet the master of Changle Pavilion, but he felt a little abrupt, so he stopped in moderation, and the coming day was long, "Since it is an idle cloud and wild crane, you might as well live in Liangzhou for a few days, and you will never disturb Mr. Qingju." ”

After speaking, he coughed twice, counting on Du Kuan and Zhang Wei to help him twice.

But the two of them only lowered their heads, as if they had no face to see people, and only gave up their hands, neither looking at Ji Kang nor Yang Zheng, as if they were also forced to bow by the overlord.

Ji Kang looked Yang Zheng up and down, as if he wanted to see through Yang Zheng's intentions.

Yang Zheng's face was numb on both sides of his smile, "Sir, please, there are many pure places in Liangzhou." ”

Ji Kang sighed helplessly, simply sat back in the ox cart, closed his eyes, and said nothing.

Not speaking is acquiescence.

Yang Zheng was happy in his heart, as long as this great god is offered in Liangzhou, if he loves to strike iron, he will strike iron, if he wants to paint, he can paint, play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just do it, as long as he doesn't want to live or die.

The news of Ji Kang's arrival in Guzang spread, and the people of Guzang rushed to watch.

After so many years, a celebrity finally came.

One by one, they laughed and pointed and pointed.

Yang Zheng hurriedly asked people to disperse them, Liangzhou integrated a large number of Qianghu, and the folk customs were relatively open, so it would be bad if Ji Kang was disturbed.

The celebrities of Wei and Jin are particularly delicate, and Wei Qian's grandson was also "killed" by the big girls and little widows.

The grand banquet prepared by Yang Zheng was useless, Ji Kang closed his eyes the whole time, didn't say a word, didn't eat a bite, and didn't give any face.

However, his family scroll is not as resistant as his, and Meng Guan Overlord is the bow, and along the way, it is estimated that he has suffered a lot.

After serving food and drink, Yang Zheng chose a clean and elegant house for them, and thoughtfully sent a hundred personal soldiers to escort them.

The Cao family and the Xiahou family are one family, so the sons-in-law of the two families should also be a family, Yang Zheng comforted himself.

I constantly sighed in my heart, in this era, my son-in-law is really a huge political resource.

At the same time, Hedong County.

Zhong Hui stared blankly at the ash that was supposed to be Ji Kang's residence, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Anger made his handsome face flush.

Hedong Taishou was frightened, and the most popular in recent years was Zhonghui, which won the trust of Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, and he himself was also a wealthy family in Yingchuan.

After the pacification of Zhuge Birthday, Zhong Hui rose even higher, and the imperial court wanted to promote him to one of the servants of the Nine Qings, but he refused, and the imperial court gave him Chen Hou, but he still refused, and only joined the army as a Zhonglang official under Sima Zhao.

Although the official is not big, Sima Zhao has to consult him on large and small affairs.

"1. A group of robbers came from Guanzhong and kidnapped Ji Zhongsan......"

"Robbers?" Zhong Hui looked to the west, "Could it be that Yang Zheng took the lead?" ”

Being able to sneak into Hedong County and kidnap dozens of Ji Kang's family is certainly not a simple force.

There was no need for Taiwei Sima Fu to do this.

The Qianghu and Xiongnu did not have such strength.

"Ji Kang, Wolong, don't get up, now in Liangzhou, the thief is bound to blaze!" Zhong Hui muttered to himself, "It's a step late." ”

The previous one, known as Wolong, Zhuge Wuhou, has been dead for more than twenty years.
