Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 776 This method is really wonderful

The reception banquet lasted until dusk, and the cases in the hall were all messed up. The officials who attended the banquet were very happy, and finally left one after another under the leadership of Jiang Wan.

When there were only a few people left in the hall, Zhao Yun stepped forward and asked Lan Tian and Zhuge Liang for instructions: "Sir, the sky outside the hall is about to end, I will take the prime minister to rest at the post house first. If there is any important matter, you can talk about it tomorrow?"

Zhuge Liang and Lantian looked at each other with a tacit understanding. The major event of capturing Liangzhou has not yet been decided, at least Zhuge Liang is unwilling to go back to the post house with peace of mind.

"Zilong will go back first, Liang and Ziyu will talk again." Zhuge Liang said.

"Uh, that cloud is waiting for the prime minister." Zhao Yun cupped his fists.

Lan Tian smiled slightly and said, "Zilong really wants to stay close to each other. Boyang, don't you want to ask General Zhao for martial arts? The courtyard outside the hall is enough for you to let go of your hands and feet."

"Very good, the second brother also has the same intention, General Wang Zilong will not hesitate to teach you." Lan Yuan made a gesture of invitation.

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty told me not to leave every step, you see." Zhao Yun handed over the decision to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty asked Zilong to guard the road, and Ziyu's place is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair, so there is no need to guard it all the time."

"Uh, how dare the last general?" Zhao Yun looked embarrassed.

"It's a mess here, the prime minister and I want to talk about things in another place, let's go out together." Lan Tian walked to Zhuge Liang and made a suggestion.

"Very good." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly.

Seeing Zhao Yun standing still, Lan Yuan leaned over and whispered, "Father wants to go to the war room with the prime minister. I think it's to discuss important matters in foreign wars. That room is at the back of the courtyard. How about we go to the war room to practice?"

"That's fine. I've heard that Boyang's halberd technique is superb. I want to learn more about it." Zhao Yun stroked his beard and smiled.

"Uncle Zhao heard what the three generals said? He let me go at the time, don't listen to his exaggeration, the younger generation is asking you for advice today." Lan Yuan clasped his fists respectfully.

Zhao Yun looked at the back of Lan Tian at the gate of the hall, shook his head and said, "Bo Yang and Mr. Xuan Xiao are exactly the same, so I will try the Lu family's halberd technique today. Your football footwork is pretty good, and you shouldn't disappoint me." .”

"Hey, I've already asked someone to call my second brother. If I can't have fun with Uncle Zhao, Zhong Ling can also have a good time with Uncle Zhao." Lan Yuan responded with a smile.

Zhao Yun shook his head after hearing this: "It is said that the brothers from the Lan family are young and brave, and today they have to sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman."

"Uncle Zhao, you are serious. We brothers sincerely ask for advice." Lan Yuan clasped his fists and walked in front of Zhao Yun's left to lead the way.

The two walked to the door of the war room. Zhao Yun found that the doors and windows were closed, and there were two hardcover guards lined up outside the door, so he curiously asked Lan Yuan, "It seems that there are permanent guards here?"

Lanyuan explained: "There is a large sand table in the war room, as well as detailed maps of the thirteen states and other military materials. My father spent a lot of energy preparing them. He often deduces wars with Uncle Gao in it. Many foreign strategic ideas are stored. In the meantime, in order to prevent the leakage of military secrets, this place has been listed as a forbidden place, and those who are not invited cannot enter and visit it.”

"So that's how it is." Zhao Yun suddenly realized.

"Father and the prime minister, there should be important military affairs to discuss, we just wait outside for the martial arts competition." Lan Yuan added.

"According to Boyang's words." After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he began to exercise his muscles and bones. He remembered Lantian's words before the celebration banquet. Return to the north to show off your ambitions.

Lan Yuan asked people to fetch weapons at random, and competed with Zhao Yun. Although Zhao Yun was 55 years old at this time, he was pure in character, clean and self-disciplined, and his physical condition was still the same as that of a mature man.

The two took a few moves outside the combat room, and Lan Yuan gradually understood the characteristics of Zhao Yun's martial arts. Compared with Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun's strength was weaker, but his marksmanship skills were more flexible and diverse. Can comprehend a lot of things from it.

In the war room with the door closed, there was basically no movement outside. Zhuge Liang was surprised to see the furnishings in the room. There were complete strategic maps and real sand tables. There were even maps of the Western Regions, Xianbei, and Funan hanging on the walls.

Sitting in this room, it seems as if he has seen the whole world. Zhuge Liang's appearance is like an obsessed fisherman visiting the mall, staring at the colorful grass tanks and unwilling to leave.

"It's really amazing. If Liang didn't go out with the king now, and set up such a place in the thatched cottage, it would be a pleasure to read here every day, but where did Ziyu get these maps outside the region?" Zhuge Liang asked curiously.

Lan Tian couldn't say that he drew it from memory, but he also made an excuse that he was well prepared: "Prime Minister, look carefully, these maps outside the territory only have rough outlines, and there are actually very few cities marked in them. The main reason is that I like to study maps of various places, so let Buying remnants from map merchants, and then adding them through screening, is now just a prototype.”

Zhuge Liang nodded affirmatively, "It's no wonder that Ziyu wanted to support the businessman vigorously. It turned out that there was a lot of selfishness in it. Before Liang, his views on businessmen were still a bit narrow. Let's not talk about the simple maps outside the region, but the maps of the north and Jiangdong seem to be It is more complete than the original court system, with roads, bridges, towns, rivers, villages, etc., which are very helpful for the king to enter the Central Plains."

"If the prime minister likes it, I'll have someone secretly print a set, and you can take it with you when you return to Chengdu. I have a slightly different view on merchants. It's very common to mix secret operations in caravans, but secret operations to spy on the military situation , Spreading rumors and other behaviors are contrary to business behavior, and it is easy to be exposed and caught, so letting real businessmen serve us is the best way." Lan Tian smiled mysteriously.

"I would like to hear from you." Zhuge Liang asked, clasping his hands.

Lan Tian smiled and said: "Traders travel by boat and merchants for the sake of profit. As long as there is another way to collect information, they will take the initiative to do it. The prime minister should know the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce? In name, the Chamber of Commerce serves caravans, merchants, and commercial firms. It is the secret management of them. The Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce has enough say in taxation, wharf ports, goods purchase and sales, etc., and the profit of the merchants is controlled by the Chamber of Commerce.

The Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce has been preparing the book "A Brief Introduction to Doing Business" in the past few years. The purpose is to organize business information in various places for merchants and caravans, so that latecomers can refer to it for learning purposes.The Chamber of Commerce used the book as an excuse to require all caravans to record the roads, bridges, villages, towns, customs, etc. of each state and county in the form of pictures and texts, and finally submit them to the State Chamber of Commerce for verification. If the situation is true, they can enjoy tax Reduction and exemption, priority of entry and exit, etc. "

Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded when he heard it: "Ziyu's map is actually used in such a way, it's really wonderful."
