The hospitality lobby of the Yanling Marquis Mansion is spacious and bright, and the palace lights are hung high.

At the center is a large table of beautifully carved mahogany, on which are placed elegant vases and incense burners, filled with a faint scent of flowers and fresh incense.

There are several famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which is full of charm, adding a sense of elegance and elegance to the whole lobby.

There is a small pantry on one side of the lobby, from which the quiet aroma of tea permeates from it, as if waiting for visitors to taste it.

There were already waiters standing next to the pantry, pouring tea and water for the guests who came from afar.

"Hahaha~"

In the distance, I heard a loud laughter, needless to say, this voice is naturally Huang Xu'er Cao Zhang.

"The messenger has come from afar, sit down quickly."

Cao Zhang's golden sword sat on the throne and looked up at the messenger who arrived.

"Don't come unharmed."

The messenger took off the hat he was wearing, revealing the face of a middle-aged man with vicissitudes.

"Dongligon?"

Cao Zhang was stunned for a moment.

"How dare you come to Wei? Not afraid of your life? ”

Dongligon can achieve the position of Nanyang Taishou, and his status in the Wei State is not low.

After he surrendered, his family members in Luoyang were basically killed, and Dongligon himself was wanted by Wei, and the Wei government even gave him a hundred gold to buy Dongligon's head.

"Exactly down there."

Dong Ligon smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry about the prince, since I can come, I naturally have the confidence to retreat." ”

With the rise of the Shang League, Liu Chan basically established a complete set of espionage systems in the territory of Wei and engaged in underground work.

The method is simple.

Knowing it with affection, moving it with reason.

Love, naturally, came with the name of the Han family: I, Liu Chan, am a relative of the Han family, and I came to save the Han family, the Cao family's rebellious ministers and thieves, and now, you are lurking in the territory of the Wei State, sending a message at a critical moment, and doing some sabotage, that is to make a meritorious contribution to the revival of the Han family, and it is a great contribution.

Among the people, there are still people who are worried about the Han family, and it is not difficult to find these people.

Of course

With just one love word, even if it may envelop their hearts in a short time, in the long run, it is still more practical.

Liu Chan paid them wages with the benefit of the business alliance, and with affection and righteousness, he established several sets of inter-military and detailed work systems in Wei State.

sent Dongligon God into the Yanling Marquis Mansion unknowingly, and naturally they used their strength in it.

"Besides, I am dignified Nanyang Taishou, and coming to meet with the prince and marquis will not be more able to explain the sincerity of my Royal Highness?"

Cao Zhang nodded.

If he were to come over with other cats and dogs, he might be a little suspicious in his heart.

But

Dongligon can be said to be a big figure, he risked his life to come, naturally he didn't come from a family, and the sincerity of the prince of Hanzhong, Liu Gonghei, is not insufficient.

"The sincerity of the prince of Hanzhong, I know, this time the envoy came, but it was a matter of the business alliance?"

Dong Ligon smiled lightly, but did not answer this question directly, but said: "This hospitality hall of the prince is very elegant, but it is carefully prepared?" In the coming decades, living here will be a different kind of fun. ”

"Humph!"

Cao Zhang snorted coldly and said: "This is all done by my wife, I am a martial artist, how can I dance and write?" This hospitality hall is like a great Confucian, it's just a bad scenery, as for staying here for decades? I don't have that patience. Taishou risked his life to come here, so let's get down to business! ”

Dongligon picked up the hot tea in his hand, blew it gently, and then put it to his lips and drank a small half cup in small sips.

"What I said to the prince is exactly what I said."

"What kind of business is this talking about the layout of the hospitality hall?"

Cao Zhang disagreed.

"But from the layout of this hospitality hall, it can be seen the ambition of the prince, if the prince wants to be a rich and noble prince, or be a rich prince in the future, then today, you and I don't need to talk about it anymore, my Royal Highness has worked hard to establish a business alliance, but it is not for you to enjoy extravagantly in the future, it is to bring down the Wei State."

Bring down the Wei State?

Syllable!

Cao Zhang's hand slapped heavily on the table in front of him.

"How daring! Bring down my Wei State? Don't you want to go back alive, Dongligon? ”

Cao Zhang's eyes that wanted to eat people did not scare Dongligon, he had a smile on his face, and his appearance was very relaxed.

"If the prince has no ambitions, the benefits of the business alliance cannot be given to you. If the prince has great ambitions, it will be two tigers fighting, brothers fighting against each other, and Wei civil strife, this is what His Royal Highness my family is willing to see. ”

Rather than hiding it, Dongligon is a direct showdown.

My Royal Highness created the Shang Alliance to bring down your Wei State.

You're going to take the business alliance, then

Do you have the courage to go against Cao Pi?

"Gonghei Liu is really ambitious!"

"What does the prince mean is that he is willing to be a rich and noble marquis for a lifetime, just like a caged bird, imprisoned in a small marquis mansion for the rest of his life?"

Cao Zhang's face was ugly, and the green tendons on his neck skyrocketed.

"I'm a good man, of course I won't succumb to the small Hou Mansion and the small Yanling City!"

If Cao Pi was willing to let him lead the army and guard Chang'an, he naturally had no other thoughts in his heart.

However.

Do you want me Cao Zhang to be a wreck?

I want to be Wei Qinghuo's sick person, how can I be a caged bird?

"What does the prince mean, willing to cooperate with His Royal Highness?"

Cooperate?

Cao Zhang sneered and said: "The wolf ambition of your Royal Highness is known to passers-by, how can I seek the skin of the tiger, wait for me to take Luoyang, kill that Zihuan, and then kill your lord!" ”

Cao Zhang is also a violent person, Dongligon doesn't pretend to be with him, and he simply has a showdown.

Do you want me Cao Zhang to cooperate with Liu Chan?

No way!

Wei State, it is impossible to be destroyed by him.

"That being the case, the business of the merchant alliance in the Wei State may be handed over to the prince, but in exchange for grain, grass, equipment, and war horses. I don't know, can the prince have the courage and ability to get it? ”

Cao Zhang's brows furrowed.

"How about gold and silver? Preferably five baht. ”

Silver?

Five baht?

Dong Ligon shook his head and said, "The territory of Wei is all bartering, and you still want to use Dong Zhuo's small money to make it shoddy?" ”

If Liu Bei is engaged in harvesting the people with 100 dollars, Sun Quan is engaged in Longquan 500 and 1,000 dollars to harvest wealth.

On the Wei side, he directly gave up the use of five baht coins and directly turned into the most primitive barter, as for the reason, it has to start with Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was greedy by nature, not only using robbery, tomb robbery and other means to loot Luoyang, but also used the convenience of coinage to mint bad coins to loot wealth.

The specific method is as follows: Dong Zhuo looted various copper products in Luoyang and Chang'an, including the twelve gold figures minted by Qin Shi Huang, ten of which were destroyed by Dong Zhuo and minted into small coins. The amount of copper used in this small coin is less than that of the five-baht coin, and there is no money text and no outline on it, which is completely shoddy.

A large amount of Dong Zhuo's small money flowed into the market, and at the same time, Dong Zhuo's plundering and destruction of the areas under his control led to a decrease in commodities, and the issuance of currency was greater than the amount of commodities in circulation, leading to severe inflation.

Moreover, the copper coin itself has a certain value, but the inferior Dong Zhuo small money cannot reach the value of five baht.

Therefore, it creates a situation of "light goods and expensive goods".

Thirteen years after Jian'an, Cao Cao abolished Dong Zhuo's small money and tried to restore the five-baht money to stabilize prices.

But it still didn't work, and it went from inflation to deflation.

Because money had not been minted for a long time, the quantity of money was lower than the amount of goods in circulation, and prices fell sharply.

By the time of Cao Pi, a lot of money was minted, but due to years of war, the population plummeted, productivity was insufficient, and there were no goods to match the amount of money, which led to a sharp rise in prices.

So Cao Pi gave up the five-baht coin and reverted to the original way of bartering.

Cao Zhang wanted to exchange Dong Zhuo's small money for the goods of the Shang Alliance, so he naturally wanted to make the Shang Alliance suffer a loss.

"I also worked in Wei before, don't you know that Dong Zhuo is a little rich?" Dongligon was well aware of the situation in the Wei State.

Cao Zhang's face flushed, and he also knew that his cleverness had been recognized.

"Then barter, food can be exchanged, ordnance and war horses, but not exchanged."

"Huh."

Dongligon looked at Cao Zhang, who had a tough face, and said: "The benefits of my business alliance can not only be given to the prince alone, the prince and the prince are asking for a price, and it is really impossible to distinguish the priority from the secondary. ”

Dongligon's words made Cao Zhang silent.

"If you want to become a king, you naturally have to pay more things, if the prince can sit on the throne of the king of Wei, what are these ordnance and war horses? Wei is a vast country, what is not there? Just an ordnance war horse, that's a drop in the bucket. ”

Having said that, why is this heart a little unhappy?

Looking at Cao Zhang, who gritted his teeth, Dongligon said again: "The prince has three days to consider, whether he agrees or not, it all depends on the meaning of the prince, but I also want to remind the prince that now Cao Pi, the king of Wei, is leading the army, Luoyang is empty, the opportunity is rare, no one knows when he will come back, the time of the prince is actually not much, if you want to decide, let it be as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, Dongligon patted the dust on his clothes and pants, put on the hat, and slowly got up.

"I'm here today, I'm afraid there are many people who know, with your brother's temperament, if he knows that Dongligon has come to the Yanling Marquis Mansion, what will he think?"

Cao Zhanghu was stunned and scolded angrily: "You dare? ”

"Your Highness can kill me to show his innocence, however, the clues can really be completely covered up, even if it is completely covered, your brother Zihuan, will really believe you? That's it, farewell! ”

Looking at the back of Dongligon leaving, Cao Zhang's hands clenched into fists.

Giggle~

His teeth rattled.

Now, it seems that there is no second way to go?

Meanwhile.

Runan-gun.

Praise City.

In the backyard of the city lord's mansion, in the lotus pond pavilion, there are two people sitting opposite each other.

On the food floor in the center of the two, various delicacies are placed.

There is a tender and juicy roast duck with a golden and crispy skin on the outside and a fragrant and delicious duck meat on the inside.

There is also stewed beef, which melts in your mouth and has a tender meat that is served with a rich soup that is mouth-watering.

The tender roast pork is also a must-see.

The pork is thinly sliced and grilled until charred on the outside and tender on the inside, making it crispy and delicious.

There are also kebabs, each piece of lamb is skewered on a bamboo skewer, and the meat is more tender when grilled, and it is seasoned with spices, and the aroma is overflowing.

The food was in front, but Lan Zhan had no intention of eating it, but it was the bearded man in front of him, who was eating Haisai on the side.

"Brother Zhao Yue, I can't say what I have to say now!"

The praise made Lan Zhan's cheeks flush with drunkenness, his eyes were foggy, his tone was low, and he was accompanied by a little crying from time to time.

"Do I have an enmity with that Sima Zhongda? Ten days ago, you asked me to raise 100,000 stones, I gave it, and now you want me to raise 200,000 stones? Raising 100,000 stone of grain forced many people to flee and levy another 200,000 stone of grain and grass, where did this grain and grass come from? ”

Zhao Yuenai was the county lieutenant of Praise Xin, looked at Lan Zhan at this moment, and persuaded softly: "If you send some gifts to Sima Zhongda, how can you only collect grain in one county?" ”

Gifts?

The sorrow on Lan Zhan's face was even worse.

"I gave a gift before, and he accepted it all, I don't want to be like this, hey~ What can I do!"

Lan Zhan let out a long sigh, then looked at Zhao Yue with a look of hope, and said: "The county lieutenant is now treated with great courtesy by General Lu Chang, and he has even entered the shogunate, why don't you say a few kind words for me in front of General Lu Chang?" ”

Kind words?

Zhao Yue smiled bitterly and said, "It's just running errands, what can be called a big courtesy?" Entering the shogunate is even more nonsense. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Yue posed the book in front of him.

"You see, this defense map in the army, if you want me to bring it to Sima Zhongda, it's just an errand."

Deployment map in the army?

Lan Zhan's eyes lit up.

But soon, the look of intention on his face was well hidden by him.

"At least I was appointed to run errands, unlike me, not only was I not appointed, but I was made difficult everywhere!"

As he spoke, Lan Zhan picked up the flask on the food floor.

"Brother, if I don't get drunk today, I can't be at peace in my heart!"

Filled Zhao Yue's wine bottle with liquor, Lan Zhan put the wine bottle in Zhao Yue's hand again.

"Drink! Today, you and I are drunk! ”

"Brother Lan's mansion has a good wine, it can't be wasted, come, dry this wine, and the next one!"

Under the staggering, a pot of wine, two pots of wine

After drinking three jars of fine wine, Zhao Yue finally got drunk, and even snoring sounded in his mouth.

"Brother Zhao Yue?"

Lan Zhan pushed Zhao Yue with little force, but the latter didn't move, and the snoring was still there.

Map of the arming in the army.

Lan Zhan gritted his teeth and picked up the booklet on the table and opened it to take a look.

His eyes flickered, and after a moment, he put the book down and returned it to its original state.

But.

Although the book was returned to its original state, the contents were already in his mind.

A seed of rebellion took root in his heart.

Is it the other way around?

It's just that

Is there a real chance?

For a moment, Lan Zhan wanted to give up.

"No, I have a defense map in the army, if I can help the prince of Hanzhong defeat the vanguard of the Wei army, it will be the time for my Lan Zhan to make a career, and at that time, the position of the county guard of Runan County may be mine!"

If there was no defense map in the army, he might not dare, but now

Why gamble?

Sima Zhongda of that dog day dared to force me to harm me like this, what if I turned against me on this day?

The crown prince of Hanzhong is right!

Runan, Runan is Runan of Runan, not Runan of your Cao Wei!
