"Shiping, I married the Zhang daughter of Changshan, what do you have to do with your Zhang family in Zhongshan?" Zhen Yi laughed and scolded when he heard the words, but Liu Tao could hear that the two seemed to have a good relationship, at least they were familiar with each other.

Zhen Yi is a family of officials and is probably not close to merchants, but Liu Tao saw that the relationship between the two was not like a fake.

"The Zhang family in Zhongshan was divided into Zhang family in Changshan more than a hundred years ago. Moreover, a group of sisters was close to my Zhang family in Zhongshan. Fourteen years ago, with their parents, they came to Lu Nu to visit you and met you, and finally married them. Besides, the Zhang family in Zhongshan has returned to the clan, so naturally there is no difference between Zhang family in Changshan and Zhang family in Zhongshan. She is my sister, so you are naturally my brother-in-law!" Zhang Shiping directly retorted.

When it comes to businessmen, integrity is the foundation, so eloquence is a means to make money. How can you not be proficient in eating things?

In the Wuji Zhen family in Zhongshan, Liu Tao seemed to remember this family. While thinking, a figure suddenly appeared in his memory, namely Empress Wen Zhao Zhen of Cao Wei. She came from this family, but she didn't know what it had to do with Zhen Yi.

"Liu Sima..." Zhen Yi knew that Zhang Shiping could not tell, so he could only come to Liu Tao. "Zhang and Zhen have started marriage since the former Han Dynasty and are guarding each other. Now the Zhang family wants to support the general to make achievements and quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so Zhen is naturally willing to do its best!"

As he said that, he took out a wooden slip and handed it to Liu Tao: "Zhen is willing to provide food and grass supplies for Liu Sima. If the number of people is 5,000, it will be provided for one year, four,000, it will be two years, and three, it will be three years. If the number of people remains unchanged, it will be until Sima pacified the thieves and chaos!"

"Si-Yi (Zhen Yibiao), your Zhen family's grain storage is enough for a few years to spend. How could you be so stingy?" Zhang Shiping seemed not satisfied, so he came forward to tease.

"Last year, the drought was not enough to collect grain, so it was not easy to use Chen grain to fool Liu Sima." Zhen Yi replied helplessly.

Liu Tao watched the performance of the two. Although his concert was still natural, he still had deliberate traces. He took a step back and said that as the largest grain merchant in Jizhou, Jizhou is now in ruins, it will inevitably have an impact on Zhen's subsequent grain collection and operation. What he said just now was that he hoped that he could recruit 5,000 people and that it would be better to pacify the Yellow Turban Thieves within a year.

After all, it was that he was pacifying the Yellow Turban Thief in Jizhou, which was beneficial to the Zhen family and great benefits, so he was willing to take action. It would be better to say that Zhen Yi was a great official than to say that he was a merchant...

"Where is it, Brother Zhen can come forward to reward the army, I'm thankful for it." Liu Tao couldn't expose it. After all, he also got practical benefits and was worried about insufficient supplies. As a result, Zhen came over, which solved his urgent need.

After listening to the conversation between the two, I realized why Zhang agreed to help find Zhao Yun. It turned out that the Zhang family was also related to Changshan County. In other words, the main branch of Zhang's family in Zhongshan was actually in Changshan County.

The three parties sat down and talked about the support matters, and then they had to talk about the background of Zhang's family in Changshan.

"Zhang Cang?" Liu Tao felt that the name was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.

"It turns out that the Zhang family of Changshan, not to mention Zhang Yi, is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty..." Lu Yan seemed to see that Liu Tao was not sure about the Zhang family of Changshan, so he came forward to praise and introduced some of the family.

Liu Tao was not familiar with Zhang Cang, but he also knew that Su Qin and Zhang Yi were not familiar with him. He also knew that these two were great men. Zhang Cang was a descendant of Zhang Yi, and the key was that he had been the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. The Zhang family in Changshan naturally could not covet it.

No wonder he was able to marry the descendants of Zhen Han, the Taibao of the Han Dynasty, and his background was as deep as possible.

The Zhang family in Zhongshan may have some blood relationship with the Zhang family in Changshan, but they must have come out of the Five Squads. They can still recognize their ancestors and become the sidelines of the Zhang family in Changshan. It is estimated that they have joined two families with this identity. No wonder they can become a big shot in Jizhou and become a wealthy businessman.

"The Zhang family in Jizhou is grateful for the remaining ancestors, but our descendants are not worthy of their lords, and none of them can be known to the king. Occasionally, they are mostly local officials, and very few can be filial and honest." Zhang Shiping sighed.

Since Zhang Cang's grandson Zhang Lie was removed from his title, the Zhang family has declined and has almost no one who can become officials and hold high positions. The Zhang family is good at counting and calculating. Zhang Cang studied under Xunzi and was originally a Confucian child, but he has too many pre-Qin marks, so he is not valued by the Han court.

It simply develops in the direction of business, and the way of counting is more compatible with merchants. The Zhang family of Zhongshan was also the Zhang family of Changshan who divided the money they made in order not to be embarrassed. In the end, wouldn’t they have to feed it back to the clan? Otherwise, why would they return to the clan now?!

As the money bag of Zhang's family in Changshan, Zhang Shiping, as the eldest son of Zhang's family in Zhongshan, can actually explain many problems. Of course, it has a direct relationship with Zhen Yi no longer Shangcai Ling and has become a gentry again.

It is actually not easy for Zhen. Zhen Han served as the Taibao period in the early regent of Wang Mang, and then served as the Grand Marshal after Wang Mang usurped the throne and was named Chengxin Duke. There are too many traces of the "Wang Mang Party". Just this stain, it was not easy for Liu Xiu to establish the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was not so easy for Zhen in Zhongshan to make a name for himself.

The Zhang family of Changshan and the Zhen family of Zhongshan are also considered to be a pair of brothers and brothers. Through marriage, they can be considered as a group to keep warm. The Zhen family's official fortune is not smooth, but its wealth is extraordinary. In the end, it was the family that accumulated from the end of the Western Han Dynasty. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it became the largest grain merchant in Jizhou.

After sending these two people away, Lu Yan told Liu Tao one after another.

"Canshan, Zhang Shiping's suggestion, what do you think?" Even after seeing the two of them away, Liu Tao was still a little dazed.

When they were just talking, Zhang Shiping suggested that the Zhang family and the Su family would pay for their military supplies to arm two thousand warriors and three thousand auxiliary soldiers. At the same time, a cavalry of about 300 people were formed, and the Zhen family would provide food and supplies to help him recover Zhongshan County, and at the same time invaded Julu County. Finally, they would join forces with the court to kill the three brothers of the Zhang family and quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

My mother has almost arranged everything about the bandit suppression!

The key is that the five thousand army is really given to him. If you cooperate with magic, you might be able to deal with the Yellow Turban thieves. It just feels like he is going to be roasted on the fire!

The imperial troops are steadily and advance little by little. He is heading straight from north to south. If there is no one, what else will it say that the imperial court will attack the army? Not to mention that the Battle of Changshe is just a war at this moment, and the fire of Changshe has not yet started!

"What Zhang and Zhen want is nothing more than the benefits of the two families..." Lu Yan shook his head, not considering Liu Tao's interests at all.

"I also said I would support me with all my strength..." Liu Tao mocked.

"They said they wanted to support them with all their strength, but for the benefit of the family. The Zhang family and the Zhen family were suppressed for too long. They hoped to change and change the fate of the two families. After all, it was too urgent!" Lu Yan hit the nail on the head and pointed it straight to the point.

"I don't need to let my destiny be controlled by others!" Liu Tao frowned.

"When in this world, who is not a chess piece? We cannot get rid of our identity, but we can choose how to take the next step!" Lu Yan persuaded. In his opinion, no one in this world is not a chess piece, and no one can not become a chess piece. The only difference is: whether we are going to take the next step by ourselves or being taken by others!

"My destiny can only be controlled by myself!" Liu Tao immediately stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist.

"Then you have to win the hearts of both families first, and then control the two families for your own benefit!" Jian Yong, who was standing beside him, came forward, "You can marry the two families!"
