Chapter 402: Sun Ces plan while joking about the emperors hegemony
The palace of the Han Dynasty.
Wei Min hurriedly felt the imperial garden, but it was all in vain.
"Where is Mr. Wei?" Wei Min asked angrily to the female guard on the side.
The female guard also looked helpless and responded cautiously: "Wei Jun went to Dongshan to visit."
Wei Min frowned and pointed at the female guard. He couldn't say what he wanted to say. He couldn't blame the female guard for not keeping him.
"It seems that we need to get Yan'er and the others as soon as possible. It's really hard for this kid to have no one to take care of him."
Wei Min sighed, waved and left.
The female guards looked at each other, and when Wei Min walked away, they all covered their mouths and laughed.
The leading female guard said angrily: "You still dare to laugh?"
A female guard said: "Sister, you are very good at lying. It's time for the guard to reward you later. I'm so envious."
The rest of the people nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Mr. Wei is very generous. Not to mention the other things, that dressing mirror. It is said that one side costs several thousand yuan."
"If those princes and nobles are marrying wives, they will try their best to buy a mirror. A few thousand yuan is nothing. If you find the right buyer, there will be someone willing to pay even tens of thousands of yuan."
"My dear, it's tens of thousands of coins. When my father sold me to Ren Yazi, he only got 160 coins, which is not even as much as a sheep..."
"Pfft, you girl, now your monthly salary is more than this price, what else do you want to do? Help Mrs. Jun well, Mrs. Jun will naturally not treat us badly."
···
Lu Mansion in the city.
Wei Cheng didn't go sightseeing in Dongshan, but went to Lu Bu's house to have wine and laugh.
The reason why the female guard was asked to trick Wei Min into leaving the city was because she didn't want Wei Min to come in person and drag him to deal with a lot of things.
"Hahaha, Mr. Wei is so cheerful today."
In the back yard, Wei Cheng and Lu Ling were playing with a copper barbecue grill. When they turned around, they saw Lu Bu approaching with a smile.
Wei Cheng looked at Lu Ling. Lu Ling's heroic eyes were wrinkled and he shook his head, saying that he had not told his father.
Wei Cheng knew that it must be someone from the palace who informed him.
Thinking about it, it didn't matter. He stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, didn't he go to the banquet? Why are you back so soon?"
Lu Bu walked closer and looked at his precious daughter, feeling very relieved.
Then he said, "It's a coincidence. We just finished over there and I heard that Lord Wei was coming to my humble home, so we hurried over."
"We?"
Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then three or four people ran in from outside the round cave door.
All right.
Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Hua Kun, Zhang Liao, and those who were invited to Yuan's family all came.
Several people first bowed to Wei Cheng, and then said in a strange tone: "General Lu's Red Rabbit horse is indeed the number one horse in the world. It can run three points faster than others."
Lu Bu chuckled and didn't care. Instead, he said to Wei Cheng, "Master Wei, I just want to ask you something. I wonder if I can get a pair of chopsticks?" Lu Bu didn't dare to ask his daughter. He was just a slave to his daughter, for fear that she would be angry.
Wei Cheng didn't care, but Lu Ling stamped her feet angrily, obviously unhappy. She finally managed to be alone with Wei Cheng, but her own father came in with a group of people to cause trouble. What kind of thing is this?
Wei Cheng looked at everyone and was curious about what they were talking about when they went to Yuan's, so he comforted Lu Ling and then asked Lu Ling to help them barbecue.
Lu Bu looked at his daughter's back in surprise, and then at Wei Cheng. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: A married daughter is throwing water. She is so obedient before she is married, how can she do it in the future?
In the pavilion, everyone took their seats one by one. There were not enough stone stools, so Hua Cun and Zhang Liao sat on the railings.
Lu Bu and Xu Huang talked about Yuan's "conditions".
Wei Cheng frowned. He understood Yuan's purpose of wanting so many prisoners just by thinking about it. It was not complicated.
"What Wei Jun means is that Yuan still wants to focus on
Put it in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty?" Xu Huang said.
Wei Qing nodded slightly, "Yes, the reason why the Yuan family wants to take in so many prisoners may be because they heard about or interpreted our first five-year plan, and they also want to participate and get a share of the pie."
"You have to know that our basic base will ultimately be on the territory of Dahan. No matter how many territories we conquer outside, we will not be able to develop it in a short time."
"Instead of spending a lot of manpower and material resources to develop new land, it is better to maximize the benefits of their original land. This point, the Yuan family is admirable. They want so many captives because they want to vigorously develop industry and agriculture."
"When they are strong enough, they will go to various places to acquire land and buy people, and then continue to repeat the previous operations. In this way, they can easily own a large amount of land and minerals without spending a single soldier."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Hua Yuan from behind said angrily: "***, this Yuan Gongli is really good at planning. Our people are fighting life and death outside, and they are sitting back and enjoying the results. How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?"
matter."
Huang Zhong twisted his beard and frowned, and said: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, this is not a secret. Which of the rises of those aristocratic families is not like this?
They financed the army to fight the war, and after the war was over, they would naturally need people to manage it. At this time, they would go to seize the land and get people, and they would get their money back within a few years."
"After you get your money back, you can fund it again, and so on... It's really a good plan." Xu Huang shook his head and sighed.
Wei Qing nodded and said with a smile: "After every war, it is these wealthy families who ultimately benefit, because they have enough capital to operate, including, but not limited to, war."
"Then..." Everyone frowned and looked at Wei Cheng.
Wei Qing laughed and said with relief: "That's not what you need to worry about now. The existence of aristocratic families is inevitable. Even if there is no Yuan family, there will be Zhang family and Zhao family. This kind of thing will not happen even two thousand years later.
will not change."
Hua Jiu frowned and said, "Wouldn't that give Yuan an advantage?"
Wei Cheng sneered, shook his head and said: "It's not about anyone who is getting an advantage. In front of the real state machine, all the noble families are just paper tigers. You just need to remember one thing."
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Wei Cheng knocked on the table and said: "************"
Everyone trembled when they heard this, and after looking at each other, they all laughed.
Lu Bu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "In this case, we should help the Yuan family even more. Now I wish that he would get fatter and fatter, so that we can gain more profits by killing him, hahaha."
Wei Cheng smiled noncommittally, looked at Lu Ling who was looking around, and said funnyly: "Ling'er, your flesh is burnt."
"Ah, oops!"
"Hahaha……"
Smelling the smell of roasted meat, everyone laughed again, no longer having the worries they had just now.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Lu Bu ordered his servants to bring fragrant tea.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and there was another scene in the yard. Autumn was approaching, and the evening breeze was already a bit cool.
The servants lit several briquette stoves and placed them at the four corners of the pavilion, with several potatoes and sweet potatoes placed on them for baking.
"What Lord Wei just said, we all have our thoughts on it. This time, by helping Gongsun Zan, the Hupo Army can get some benefits. I have already sent someone to contact Mr. Suotian, the Anyi Wei, and sent someone to prepare to receive it." Lu Bu
road.
Wei Cheng held the teacup, blew on the tea foam, and said: "It's a good thing that Mr. Lu is handed over to the guard office. There are specialties in the profession. The guards of the guard office are all truly talented people. They are responsible for the management. You guys
You can rest assured that whatever you get will be fed back to the Tiger Soul Army."
Lü Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, "With these words from Lord Wei, Lü will feel at ease. Lü will first thank you for your brothers." After saying this, he stood up and bowed.
Wei Cheng grabbed him and said with a smile: "Thank you for free. If you pay, you will be rewarded. I have always made clear rewards and punishments. I will let them account for the income from the three mines and pastures in proportion."
In military resources
I think there should be quite a few, General Lu can consider expanding the army, hehe."
Lu Bu chuckled. This was what he was waiting for. Five thousand tiger soul troops. After all, Xiaojiazi was a little angry. He wanted to expand the army. At least there must be 20,000 to 30,000 people. That way he would be able to bring out the troops with great style.
Xu Huang and Huang Zhong looked at each other with expressions of emotion on their faces.
Wei Cheng seemed to be aware of it and looked at the two of them and said: "The same goes for Longshan Army and Longxi Guard. All the benefits you get can be handed over to the guard office for management. All profits, tax and management fees deducted, belong to you.
all."
"What about our city guards?" Hua Cun asked excitedly.
When Wei Cheng heard this, he looked at Hua Cun and said angrily: "You are stupid. The cost of the city guard is naturally deducted from the taxes of each city. You don't have to worry about this. Xu Ding and Tian Feng have already planned it for you.
alright."
The Longshan Army, the Tiger Soul Army, and the Longxi Guards are in charge of external affairs, while the City Guards and City Guards are in charge of internal affairs. This is the military strategy that was decided early on.
Hua Li opened his mouth and wanted to say that the city guards could also seize the territory, but he hesitated and decided to forget it. The job of the city guards was to protect each city. If they all went out to fight, their homes would be robbed.
What to do.
Although this situation is almost impossible to happen now, if the thieves are really allowed to break into Luoyang or Anyi due to his negligence, then his work as the commander-in-chief of the city guard will be over.
···
A restaurant somewhere in the city.
Wei Gong met Sun Ce again, but compared to him three months ago, Sun Ce looked much more mature now.
The dishes on the table were not very rich, only a plate of boiled mutton was reasonably valuable, and the wine was the cheapest.
But this was already the most sumptuous meal Sun Ce could afford.
Wei Gong saw his current situation and sighed: "Bofu, why do you think you are doing this?"
Sun Ce smiled bitterly and did not defend himself. After taking a sip of wine, he raised his head and said, "Brother Wei, can you help me introduce someone to you?"
Emiya glanced at the floating objects in the wine glass and gave up the idea of drinking. Hearing this, he asked curiously: "Who?"
Sun Ce swallowed his throat and said with some embarrassment: "Long Xiwei, Huang Zhong."
Wei Gong frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Why, you want to get involved too?"
Wei Gong didn't put it too bluntly. Since Sun Jian's death, the original Polu army has almost fallen apart. Even if Sun Ce can recall some of his old troops, I'm afraid there won't be many. It's no more than a dream to rely on those people to expand the territory.
However, Sun Ce also had his own plans.
"Brother Wei, I know this matter is very difficult for you, but you can rest assured that I only need one team, just Huang Xu's team. As long as you help me stay stable for two months after landing, I will
I am willing to hand over my Sun family’s property in Jiujiang.”
"Ashore?" Emiya frowned slightly.
Sun Ce knew that he could no longer hide it, otherwise he might lose his last chance. He nodded and said, "Yes, I have secretly obtained some information in the past few days. Cao Mengde pointed his sword at the Japanese island, Liu Xuande went south to Jiaozhou, and the Yuan family joined the Huangfu family to march westward.
In Qiang land, there are already Gongsun Zan and several aristocratic families attached to the Wei family in the north, and I can't get involved."
Emiya nodded, he was in charge of the intelligence work of the secret guards, so he naturally knew all this.
"In that case, where are you going?"
Sun Ce gritted his teeth, took out a rubbing of "A Map of Mountains and Seas" from his pocket, and said, "Brother Wei, look here."
Wei Gong looked over and couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "Is this Yizhou?"
Sun Ce nodded and smiled bitterly: "Yes, in this huge world map, Yizhou is as small as a grain of rice. They are all talented and powerful, and I don't look down on them at all. But I know my current strength.
, it shouldn’t be a problem to capture Yizhou.”
Wei Gong couldn't help but nodded, and said to himself: This Sun Ce is also a character, and he can find a chance of survival in the cracks.
"Yes, I can help you introduce Mr. Huang, but is there anyone in Yizhou who can't take over and actually wants Long Xiwei to come out?"
Sun Ce shook his head,
Said: "There is no strong army, just some indigenous people. The reason why I invited the Dragon Breath Guard is mainly to think of a deterrent effect. This is the suggestion Gong Jin gave me, saying that it can better subdue the indigenous people. After all, it is
Rare labor."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Emiya no longer goes into details, and almost knows their plan. In that wild land, Long Breath Guard's artillery and Lei Zhenzi are like miracles.
There is no difference. It is not too simple to subdue some indigenous people who drink raw materials and drink blood.
"Okay, don't worry. Prefect Sun has some connections with my Wei family. I will help if I can. You can make a decision later..."
Wei Gong was halfway through speaking. He glanced at the food and wine on the table, then looked at Sun Ce who looked embarrassed, and said helplessly: "You can come to my house later, it will be tomorrow night, and I will invite Mr. Huang to come with him.
, lobby for you."
Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard this, "Well, thank you very much Brother Wei."
Wei Gong nodded indifferently and rubbed his stomach. He was a little hungry, but he was used to eating the food invented by Wei Cheng, and eating these... it was a bit hard to swallow, so he said goodbye.
Sun Ce personally delivered it to the door of the restaurant.
Shortly after Wei Gong left, Sun Ce had a handsome young master behind him.
"Bo Fu, it seems everything is going well."
Sun Ce looked back, exhaled, and said, "Gong Jin, do we need to pretend to be poor?"
To be honest, he also swallowed the glass of wine just now. It was sour, astringent and nauseating.
No matter how you say it, Sun Ce comes from a wealthy family in Wu County, and no matter how poor he is, he is not so poor that he can't even afford to drink.
Zhou Yu walked out of the darkness with a faint smile on his face and said: "If you don't do this, how can you make Uncle Wei Wen sympathize with you? Okay, okay, it's my fault this time. Let's go back and put on some good wine. I
I will punish you with three cups of wine to make amends for you."
"That's not the case."
Sun Ce looked at the carriage going away, frowned and said, "Gong Jin, do you really think that after taking Yizhou, we can take over the south of Jiaozhou before Liu Xuande and the others?"
Zhou Yu nodded calmly and promised: "Just be at ease. It will take them more than a month to cross the mountains and ridges from Jingzhou, and there is no telling how much supplies will be lost on the way. How can it be better?"
We can get there safely and quickly by sea."
When Sun Ce heard this, he clenched his fists unconsciously and murmured: "Guan Yunchang, just wait, I will definitely avenge my father's murder!"
The Sun family has the strongest navy, which is recognized by the three countries.
