Zhao An's arrival immediately aroused the vigilance of Tuoba Liuxiu, however, Zhao An sent an envoy to Tuoba Liuxiu and Tuoba Pugen, saying that he was not interested in the internal affairs of Tuoba tribe.

However, the market between the Tuoba tribe and himself and others will continue to be inherited, and I don't know if there is any interest in continuing to trade with Youzhou.

Armor and equipment, Youzhou here is strictly managed, but if you want weapons, especially arrows, you can definitely do it.

Tuoba Liuxiu remembered Zhao An's gloating face, but in the face of the weapons sold by the Han people, how could Tuoba Liuxiu refuse.

Because Tuoba Liuxiu can be sure that if he doesn't buy it, the other party will sell it to Tuoba Pugen.

"I am naturally very happy that our Tuoba tribe's trade with Liu Jungong can continue, but there is one condition, that is, your weapons can only be sold to me!" Tuoba Six Monasticisms.

"Oh, my esteemed prince, you are the future khan of Tuoba and are naturally able to make such a request.

But we have signed a contract with Tuoba Khan and made an oath, so only Tuoba Khan can modify the content.

So until there is no new khan to revise the new covenant of the Tuoba tribe, we will trade with everyone in the Tuoba tribe equally, everyone! ”

The envoy spoke in humble language and never flinched, but he was not afraid in the face of Tuoba Liuxiu.

In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, Zhao An is nearby with the army, and if he dies, war will break out in the next second.

The life of his own messenger is sometimes very light, but against the barbarians, he is naturally fearless.

After all, for the Han people, if they are afraid, who will be the envoys!

And Tuoba Liuxiu looked at the Han envoy in front of him, although he gritted his teeth, but finally chose to send the envoy away.

He knew that he couldn't stop Liu Tai from continuing to sell weapons to his opponents, but he hated it when he thought of it.

As for the matter of killing this Han envoy, if he was still a general before, he would naturally be able to use his will and do things like killing Tuoba Yilu, and get a strong crossbow from Diao Ying's hand, so he would have fought directly.

But as soon as a person sits in the position of leader, the thinking will change immediately.

Because when I was still a junior brother, I basically just had to concentrate on completing the task, and I didn't have to worry too much.

But now that you are the boss, the first thing you have to think about is whether you can sit firmly in this position, and any other issues must give way.

This is the same for everyone who is in the position of boss, even Liu Tai has no difference.

At most, Liu Tai is more afraid of history books and has a longer-term vision, so Liu Tai will be more restrained in his actions.

Since Tuoba Liuxiu has visited here, it is natural that Zhao An of Tuoba Pugen is not idle, saying that he Youzhou people ignore the internal conflict of your Tuoba tribe, and what is there to wait until you compete for Tuoba Khan.

As for yourself and others, you are more than willing to continue to trade with you bilaterally, and your horses, sheepskins, gold, or others can be traded, and you can exchange them for the weapons, salt, and cloth you need.

As for food, you also know that we have traded so many people, and we can't eat enough for ourselves, so how can we have more to trade?

All in all, Zhao An said, look at what I'm doing, you continue to fight, I'm the melon-eating crowd who came to watch the market here, and I want to see a river of blood......

Because Zhao An didn't see any movement for a long time, Ge Xin evacuated the market and continued to return to Youzhou to change equipment.

When the two sides saw that Zhao Anzhen was withdrawing troops one after another according to what he said, they finally let go of Liu Tai's desire to take advantage of the situation.

At this moment, whether it is Tuoba Liuxiu or Tuoba Pugen, they are all smiling at their brothers, it's time to settle accounts!

Zhao An wrote down the situation and the development of the situation here clearly, and then sent it to Liu Tai.

And Wei Xiong also took the Wei family and went to Youzhou with a little trepidation.

Wei Xiong thought about it again and again, and finally decided to go to Qingzhou to fight for himself and his family.

As for Ji Tang, who is relatively a little older, choosing to stay in the familiar Youzhou, he really doesn't want to participate in the chaos in the Central Plains.

And compared to the danger of the Central Plains, at least it is much safer to deal with the Hu people here.

And Wei Xiong took his family from this market, all the way through Youzhou City, and was surprised by the prosperity of Youzhou City.

Of course, it is natural to be prosperous here, mostly because of Cao Wei's hard work, and there is also the grace left by Liu Tai at the beginning.

After the craftsmen who worked on the canal had a few dollars in their hands, if they got married, they would save money and save money for their women and children.

After all, since ancient times, men's consumption has not been as good as that of dogs, and they are not raised in a day.

Only the word responsibility makes men have to save their expenses and give them to their families to spend.

But those men who have not yet married and had children, especially those who are big and move bricks quickly, because Liu Tai prefers the basic salary and piecework, they work hard, but they also earn a lot.

With current prices, they can naturally afford to buy goods, listen to operas, and even go to the Qinglou to walk around.

The salt tickets in their hands are spent little by little, which can create the prosperity of the entire city.

After all, my current environment is not as good as that of the reform and opening up, when there was a serious imbalance between the material living standards of foreign countries and the living standards of China.

In such a situation, all the domestic industries that can be milked are used to raise funds to supply the projects that need to be developed, so as to avoid the domestic people in the gap between internal and external hard power, completely lose the confidence to catch up, become the object of remote breeding.

But Liu Tai didn't need to be so messy, because the situation he faced was much better.

China has always been a beacon of East Asian civilization, although the alien race defeated the junk Jin court by force, so the Han people suffered a disaster.

But this did not make the Han people lose confidence in their own Wenhua system, on the contrary, after experiencing the Wuhu Chaohua, the Han people realized that the culture of their own and others was so powerful, as long as they were obedient, no matter who invaded China, they would be slowly assimilated.

In this case, what is the use of the generals, defending the country and cultural victory depends on us literati and squires.

This led to the choice of civil officials in later generations to surrender more than the War of Resistance, after all, they can't beat the alien race, but their descendants can always educate the alien race through indoctrination, as for themselves, of course, they will continue to play music and dance!

However, for Wei Xiong, he saw the prosperity of Youzhou City and the liveliness of the Grand Canal being built.

The people above are not at all like the kind of hard labor they do, and they are full of momentum and vitality even if they work at the moment.

And can they have a vision, they work to eat and live, and they also have salt tickets to get, and salt tickets can go to the city to exchange for the goods they want.

In such a happy life, when they work, they are afraid that they will do less and others will do more, and as a result, others will rob their jobs.

After all, there is so much work in the Grand Canal, how many catties of soil are excavated per person every day, how many stones are carried per person, and how many stone pillars are erected per person, all of which are calculated by piece work placed here.

If others do more, you will do less, and if you do less, you will earn less, this simple way of calculation was quickly accepted by the people who worked hard.

And when they were getting more and more involved, Cao Wei applied to Liu Tai for the nurses and doctors of the medical camp, saying that they tried their best to find ways to recuperate and recuperate the bodies of these conscripts, and they were afraid that if they continued to do it, they would be exhausted to death!

Cao Wei felt that he was an official, at least he couldn't exhaust such a worker who worked hard for him.

That's not a thing, and the Grand Canal is still long, so if you leave a hard-working servant, your future work will be easier!

And Wei Xiong came all the way to Jinkou, where there were many merchant ships, and it was very lively, and there were ships entering the dock almost all the time.

Then the staggering box was lifted down by a lever and carried to the carriage, which was rushing one after the other, but it was rushing towards its destination.

It can be said that although it is busy, it is very orderly, and Wei Xiong has never seen such a lively scene.

Wei Xiong went to Qingzhou by sea, and after taking out Zhao An's order, he rented three ships with a size of 300 people from Tian Yu's fleet, and asked Wei Xiong to send his entire family and all kinds of supplies they carried to Qingzhou in one go.

Wei Xiong felt the convenience brought by shipping, and had to say that from Youzhou to Qingzhou, if he passed through Jizhou, he would be so large and have such a population, it would take more than a month.

But as this trade route became more and more mature, it was now possible to reach it in two days from Jinkou to Qingzhou with a smooth wind, and as for the headwind, it should have arrived at the evening of the third day.

In comparison, I walked for a whole month from Jiaozhou Port, and I encountered some reefs and ice blocks along the way.

In this normal season, people are becoming more and more accustomed to taking the Bohai Bay trade route from Youzhou to Qingzhou.

The corresponding supporting facilities are also carried out in an orderly manner under the promotion of Liu Tai.

For Wei Xiong, what he saw was just that Liu Tai and Chu Yi and other high-ranking officials in Qingzhou were well governed.

But for Liu Tai, the waterway of his Bohai Bay determines that when he fights with Shile, he can give up a large area of land at any time and become his own strategic depth, without affecting the normal operation of his economy.

To be honest, the situation that Liu Tai hoped for the most was that Shi Lexian couldn't help but send a large army to do it to himself.

It's not like the current Qiang tribe under Shile's command, who are just harassing the people on their own border in order to hunt the population.

"County duke, the royal capital of Jizhou has sent a report again, saying that a slave catcher team of Shile's army has been captured, causing a nuisance around Jizhou!" Chu Yi said and handed Wang Sang's report to Liu Tai.

"Send some changed armor to Wang Sang, he knows how to deal with it!" Liu Tai said calmly.

"Didn't the county prince let Wang Duhu make a reciprocal counterattack against Shile? We also send an army to harass Shiler! ”

Yang Yu looked at Liu Tai and said in a deep voice, "If it continues like this, it will hurt the morale of the border soldiers quite a lot!" ”

"Don't cross the border, it's a red line that can't be crossed!" Liu Tai shook his head and said,

"Ge Xin is training cavalry, Zhou Ping is training recruits, and there are a lot of soldiers waiting to change their clothes on our side.

And it can also help us train a local army in Jizhou with the help of the rampant Qiang people.

So since we're not fully prepared to fight Shiler, let's hold back and be fully prepared.

The intensity of those slave catchers is still within a tolerable range, and that is the time to test our strategic determination.

If you want to fight Shile, you must hit it with one blow, and if you drag it out, the south may not be peaceful! ”

"Is the general worried that the Sima family will attack us?" Chu Yu couldn't help frowning.

"I'm not worried about the Sima family, even if they send someone, I believe that my soldiers can defeat them!"

Liu Taidao, "But the problem is that after Zu Ti returned to Yuzhou for reorganization, he began to erode Yanzhou and attracted many powerful people in Yanzhou, and he was also looking for an opportunity to go on the Northern Expedition."

Our Taishan County is a nail we buried in Yanzhou, if we have a stalemate with Shi Lezhen, I am afraid that Taishan County will be in danger! ”

"Isn't the general worried about Gou Xi?" Chu Yi said to Liu Tai,

"After all these years of recuperation, he has tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, and he is gradually standing firm in Xuzhou!"

"Gou Xi......" Liu Tai shook his head and said calmly,

"Again, Gou Xi can fight anyone, but he just can't fight us.

At first, we only passed the clarity of the soldiers' policy towards our prisoners, so that they did not think of death when they fought the war.

How many of them have received salt tickets now, and if they fight with us, I think they will even sell Gou Xi to us! ”

Liu Tai's words are not false, because Gou Xi was able to recover this time, and he really pulled it himself.

In addition, like what snowflake salt, what Qingzhou cloth, what raindrop porcelain, they were all sent from their side, to Gou Xi's place to trade, eating the location of the transfer station, Gou Xi only replied quickly.

Eh, what kind of rain porcelain is this, it is the first harvest after Liu Tai used a large amount of coal.

Because the coal increased the calcination temperature, making the flame calcination more stable, coupled with the craftsmanship of the porcelain craftsmen, the inverted firing produced some special shapes and luster, anyway, Liu Tai's shallow appreciation level only knew the blue and white porcelain variety.

After Chu Yu's introduction, Liu Tai knew that Zibo ceramics had been inherited in Linzi since ancient times.

It's just that with the passage of time, earthen kilns in other places have developed, and the porcelain in Qingzhou has declined.

However, with the excavation and use of coal mines, there is a more stable and higher temperature flame here, which makes porcelain craftsmen say that Qingzhou is not without good porcelain, but there is no good flame.

After using coal, they made this raindrop porcelain, which became a new product for Liu Tai to collect IQ tax.

Not to mention, the luster alone has formed a dimensionality reduction blow to the ceramics of this era, which can be regarded as an unexpected receipt.
