Chapter 266: Make Two Deals, Listen to a Conversation

Before leaving, Yang Chuan took the initiative to meet Liu Che for the first time; went together, as well as Huo Quzhi and Cao Xiang.

On that day, the autumn rain continued.

The pavilions and pavilions of Weiyang Palace, shrouded in misty rain, are like a group of ancient mythical beasts, lying silently on the ground, overlooking the entire Chang'an City very lazily.

In a large hall called 'Warm Pavilion', Liu Che reclined on the embroidered couch, wearing a plain silk shirt, combing his black hair, and tying it up with a ribbon at will, which was quite a swinger.

He was playing with a small accessory carved from mutton fat jade in his hand, and looked at the eyes of Yang Chuan, Huo Quzhi, and Cao Xiang, which was very meaningful: "Say, keep talking, why don't you keep talking?" ”

"Tuntian is short of manpower? Lack of iron tools, lack of food seeds? ”

"There's nothing missing, what do you want the three of you to do? Yang Chuan, tell me, what is still missing? Say it all together, and let me worry about it too. ”

was scolded by Liu Che for a while, Yang Chuan, Huo Quai, and Cao Xiang sat on their knees, and no one dared to say anything.

"Yang Chuan, you are the Taishou of Shuofang County, what else do you have to say?" Liu Che stretched his waist and scolded angrily: "I thought that the three fools had some good way to govern the country, but unexpectedly, as soon as they opened their mouths, they complained bitterly, so they reached out to ask for things, and they had to be embarrassed?" ”

"If I have enough money and food, and enough population, can I just send an old and serious minister over to be the Taishou?"

"What else is there to say? If not, get out, this autumn rain is continuous, I still want to sleep well......"

Yang Chuan coughed lightly and arched his hand: "Your Majesty has taught you a lesson." ”

Liu Che waved his hand: "Then get out." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen, there is something else to say," Yang Chuan hurriedly spoke, and said in a deep voice: "Money and grain, iron tools, farm tools, and livestock, Weichen can find a way to solve them; Only this man who cultivates the wasteland...... Wechen has a not-so-mature idea and wants to ask His Majesty for guidance. ”

The corners of Liu Che's mouth finally showed a smile, but his mouth was still quite impatient: "If you have a fart, let it go." ”

Yang Chuan sneered and said: "In the past few days, Weichen has repeatedly weighed and discussed with Qu Sick and Cao Xiang, and I feel that the biggest problem at the moment is the matter of reclaiming military households, and the three of us think that there are three ways at present;

First, the imperial court decreed that as long as you are willing to go to Shuofang Tuntian to garrison the border, you can change the household registration of sons-in-law, merchants, criminals, etc., so that they can become commoners;

second, to encourage the families of magnates, officials, and wealthy people to reclaim wasteland in Shuofang County; Especially those wealthy merchant families, after reclaiming a certain area of wasteland, can reward the prince and let him out of the lowly status;

Third, after the three of us pass, we will find a way to sneak up on the small tribes of the Huns and rob some people to come over......"

Liu Che looked at Yang Chuan's handsome little face, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly waved his hand and said: "The imperial court decrees, I can't agree to it; Do you understand the stakes? ”

Yang Chuan sighed secretly and nodded, "Weichen understands. ”

Liu Che, after all, still represents the top-level predator, even if he leaves millions of acres of fertile land in Shuofang County barren, he is not willing to let the people at the bottom mix a mouthful of hot rice.

In this regard, Yang Chuan was very disappointed.

It seems that some of the strategies going forward will have to be changed.

Liu Che said: "I want to do something, some foundations can't be moved yet, and some people's interests ...... That's a good idea, unite with the rich merchants, go back and think for yourself;

As for robbing the population of the Huns, helping us to open up wasteland and farm, this idea is very good;

The only problem is that those Huns can only herd sheep and horses, and will not cultivate the land at all, and those wolves are untamable and robbed of more people, will there be any hidden dangers? ”

Yang Chuan arched his hand and said: "It is very difficult to make a lamb a wolf, it is very difficult, almost impossible; However, it is very simple to turn a pack of wolves into dogs. ”

Liu Che let out an 'oh' and said with a smile: "Tell me about it?" ”

Yang Chuan said: "Weichen once worked as a slave for the Qiang people and the Huns for six years, and he has observed those steppe people quite deeply, and he knows a thing or two about them; In addition, during this time, after listening to some of my second aunt's statements, I was even more convinced that the Huns were actually better tame than the Qiang;

The Huns, in the final analysis, are a group of hungry and crazy wolves, and at the turn of winter and spring every year, they have a serious shortage of stored food, so they can only go south to raid and plunder our Dahan border county, in fact, just for a bite of food;

It's like a pack of hungry wolves, if you beat them up and give them a bite of food, they will soon become a pack of loyal dogs;

Therefore, Wei Chen has discussed with Qu Zhi and Cao Xiang that they should only rob their small tribes and try to avoid those powerful large tribes, there should be no hidden dangers......"

Listening to Yang Chuan's eloquent talk, Liu Che half-squinted, and seemed to be thinking carefully and calculating.

In the end, he nodded in agreement: "This matter must be kept quiet, not only can we not let the Huns detect our intentions, but also those old thieves in the court cannot know about it......"

……

Out of Weiyang Palace, Yang Chuan, Huo Quai, and Cao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Yang Chuan, this period of planning finally had a good result, his mood was naturally very comfortable, and he couldn't help but look up his face, letting the cool rain wet his cheeks: "Next year's moisture is good." ”

"Yang Chuan, this is going back to your fiefdom?" Cao Xiang asked.

"Don't worry, it's hard to come to Chang'an City, you have to take a good turn and take a look," Yang Chuan stepped into the carriage, "I heard that Sang Hongyang bought Aunt Zhuo's Tianfu world, and added a lot of little women from Chu and Wu, let's go have a drink?" ”

Cao Xiang was overjoyed, and looked up to the sky and laughed a few times: "Let's go, hurry up, yes, I'm going crazy!" ”

Huo Quzhi looked disgusted: "Hey, what's so fun about the little woman?" You have to go and go by yourself, and I will go back first. ”

Yang Chuan nodded and smiled, and said, "It's okay, I heard that we are going to Shuofang Tuntian, Cao Xiang's sister, led those cousins and cousins to my Zhuangzi, saying that they were going to see off the sick Xiaolangjun;

Go sick, you go back quickly, settle them all down, so that you can give birth to some kang babies......"

Huo Quzhi's face stiffened.

Immediately, this fool laughed a few times, and waved his hand very heroically: "Sang Hongyang's character is not good, but I heard that after that guy took over the world of Tianfu, there are a few kinds of wine that taste good, let's go, a certain family will accompany you to drink!" ”

Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang glanced at each other and laughed.

When the three of them boarded the carriage, the cousin's father 'snapped' the reins, and the solid-colored black horse 'sigh' neighed, and galloped towards the 'heaven and earth'......

……

After most of the hour, a certain box in the world of Tianfu was full of silk and bamboo, warm and fragrant, and with the autumn rain outside the window, it had a unique taste.

Cao Xiang is on the embroidered couch, left and right, he has already been a little drunk, reaching into his arms from time to time, grabbing and pinching indiscriminately, and he is never tired of it.

Huo Quzhi sat upright, under the two sword eyebrows, the eyes of the two Danfeng were full of trouble, just drinking glass after glass, occasionally looking at Cao Xiang, and also sneering.

On an embroidered couch near the window, Yang Chuan leaned on a plump pillow, took a glass of wine, drank it with no pair, and listened to the sound of wind and rain outside the window, but it also seemed quite scattered.

Opposite him, Sang Hongyang looked nervous.

"Sang Hongyang, this wine made by your family is good, what's the name?" Yang Chuan asked suddenly.

"Good Sect Changning Hou knows, this wine is called Green Ant," Sang Hongyang lifted the wine jug and filled Yang Chuan's wine glass, "Changning Hou is going to Shuofang Tuntian, Sang Hong Yang is a big farmer, he should have ......"

Yang Chuan waved his hand and said with a very lazy smile: "Look at you, Ben Hou didn't blame you for not helping, not to mention, the imperial court wants to use troops against the Xiongnu, and it costs money and food, how dare I drag the emperor back." ”

Sang Hongyang sighed and said: "Yang Chuan, Sang Hongyang was born in a businessman, and he thinks that his heart is unparalleled, but this eye socket is too shallow, and it is inevitable that he is a little anxious for quick success. ”

Yang Chuan looked at Sang Hongyang's face, and secretly scolded the 'old thief' in his heart, but said with a smile in his mouth: "What do you do with the past?" ”

"Sang Hongyang, Ben Hou came here today to borrow something from you."

Sang Hongyang was stunned and asked, "What to borrow?" ”

Yang Chuan smiled, took a sip of green ant wine, and said indifferently: "This Tianfu world was originally the property of the Zhuo family, and you Sang Hongyang took it by mistake and bought it at a price of three hundred gold, you should have made a lot of money in this year's time, right?" ”

Sang Hong's sheep stiffened, laughed a few times, and said: "It was Sima Xiangru who committed a crime, and Zhuo's family was eager to save people, so he sold this restaurant to me Sang Hong sheep at a low price. ”

Yang Chuan smiled, stretched his waist, and said leisurely: "This is a matter between you businessmen, and Ben Hou doesn't bother to pay attention to it; Sang Hongyang, I want to borrow your hand to help me buy some things, but don't say you can't do it. ”

Sang Hongyang: "What to buy?" ”

Yang Chuan reached into his arms, took out a piece of sheepskin and handed it to Sang Hong Yang: "The big farmer made him see it, but what is the difficulty?" ”

Sang Hongyang took the piece of sheepskin with great confusion, opened it, and looked at it carefully, but his face was even more confused: "The things that Changning Hou wants to buy are all very common things." ”

I saw that Yang Chuan's 'purchase list' was mostly listed in mulberry wood, silk linen, bamboo, saltpeter, as well as various grains, medicinal herbs, flowers and other seeds, which seemed to be very large, but in fact they were not valuable.

Yang Chuan said with a smile: "It is precisely because they are all common things that it is difficult to buy them for a while, so I asked you to come here." ”

Sang Hongyang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "If you just buy these things, the Great Agricultural Order can really help." ”

Yang Chuan picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Then thank you......"

……

A stick of incense.

Yang Chuan and the other three went out of the world of Tianfu and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

If you want to go to Tuntian, Shuofang County, thousands of miles away, you should not be sloppy in the preparations, especially Prime Minister Gongsun Hong, everything can not be bypassed, the way to go must be taken in advance, and the road behind can be walked steadily and steadily.

Gongsun Hong seemed to have expected Yang Chuan to come back, and as soon as they met, he smiled and said: "The Marquis of Changning is going to Shuofang Tuntian, how can he still have the heart to come to the old man?" Let's say in advance, there is no money to borrow, and there is no borrower. ”

Yang Chuan laughed: "Prime Minister Gongsun, why are you so stingy when you say you're an old man?" ”

"Ben Hou came here, just to talk to your grandson and Prime Minister and take a bite of food."

Gongsun Hong twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Your Yang's food is unparalleled in the world, and the food in the old man's house may not be able to enter your Changning Hou's mouth." ”

Yang Chuan chuckled, and didn't bother to say haha, and said bluntly: "Prime Minister Gongsun, I came here today to negotiate a deal with Prime Minister Gongsun." ”

Gongsun Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Changning Hou, you really look up to the old man." ”

Yang Chuan didn't go around the bend either, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, I will help you cultivate 30,000 acres of fertile land in Shuofang County, and you will help me build a road between Chang'an City and Shuofang County, how about it?" ”

Gongsun Hong basked slightly, twisted his beard and smiled: "I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle......

Yang Chuan: "Of the 30,000 acres of fertile land, Benhou will help you plant all cotton." ”

Gongsun Hong sighed and said: "Shuofang County is far away from Chang'an City, and there is a big river in the middle, even if the old man wants to build a straight road, there is nothing to be done about it." ”

Yang Chuan got up, bowed deeply, and said: "Prime Minister Gongsun only needs to build a straight road to the bank of the big river, as for how to cross the river with grain, cattle, sheep and livestock, cotton and other goods over there, Ben Hou will find a way to solve it himself;

By the way, if Ben Hou got some goods over there and wanted to sell them to the area of Chang'an City, Prime Minister Lao would have to take care of it a lot. ”

Gongsun Hong nodded slightly and said, "Alas, you, the Marquis of Changning, are really a headache......

……

After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was getting late.

Yang Chuan, Huo Quai, and Cao Xiang got into the carriage and went straight to the Changping Marquis Mansion, but they wanted to resign to Princess Pingyang, Wei Qing and others.

That night, the Changping Marquis Mansion was brightly lit, and a banquet was held, in order to add fun, Princess Pingyang specially let the little dancers in the family come out, singing and dancing, playing and singing, but also added a joy.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Wei Qing suddenly got up and said, "Yang Chuan, come here." ”

The two of them entered the back hall one after the other, and after Wei Qing entered the door, he sat in the middle, pointed to the futon beside him, and said warmly: "Come and sit." ”

Yang Chuan walked over, gave up his hand and confessed, and then sat down: "Father-in-law, do you have any advice?" ”

Wei Qing was silent for a long time, and said: "The three of you went to Shuofang, you must be safe in everything, consult His Majesty the Emperor in everything, and don't be smart." ”

Yang Chuan said 'um', which can be regarded as accepting.

This Han god of war, on the surface, looks very wooden, it is simply a lump of elm, in fact, he is still extremely familiar with the rules of the court, and the two plain 'everything' can be regarded as the essence of the way of being an official.

Wei Qing thought for a while and continued: "When you go to Shuofang County, you must pay close attention to the training of the Yulin Army, but you must remember that whether it is the Northern Army or the Yulin Army, these two armies must not be mobilized without the emperor's order, otherwise, they will inevitably lead to death, this is one of them;

Second, if you have soldiers under your account, power in your hands, and money in your hands, you can't be greedy, and you can't abuse your power, both of which are ways to kill yourself and lose your family;

In addition, we must remember that whether it is against the soldiers under the account, the orphans of Yulin, or the people under the rule, we must have mercy and must not be arrogant and rude. ”

Yang Chuan arched his hand and said, "Well, I wrote it down." ”

Wei Qing nodded slightly, and suddenly said: "Let your second aunt move to Tai Academy, those scholars are very difficult to deal with, you are not in Chang'an City, it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble behind your back, it will inevitably be unfavorable to you, just let her suppress it for two years." ”

"Also, Gongsun Ao is on guard, in the near future, don't think about killing him......"

The fourth volume of "Saiwai Xue" has begun, thank you readers, master, the chef is grateful!

There have been a lot of things in the cook's family recently, an elder I am very close to is critically ill, the cook's mood is very low, every day is in the second half of the night to code words, sometimes, writing and writing, just fall asleep on the sofa......
