Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 111

Pang Tong's joke was not funny, but it lightened the atmosphere in the hall.

Kong Ming took the handkerchief Huang Yueying handed over and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile:

"That's Ji Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang..."

"I am Zhuge Liang, the military adviser and general under the lord's tent!" Everyone said in unison.

Immediately, everyone laughed out loud.

Kong Ming shook his head and smiled lightly, without commenting, but just looking at the words on the light curtain and feeling warm in his heart.

Text can convey meaning, and words can express expressions.Kong Ming can see and feel the concern for him in these words of later generations.

Jian Yong stretched his legs and said with a smile: "Kong Ming really wants to take care of his body."

"My lord has been defeated and fought repeatedly, and you are over sixty years old. In the end, you are in power, and you have run out of fuel, but you are only four out of fifty."

Health issues have been mentioned more than once, and Kong Ming can only explain with embarrassment:

"Recently, with the help of Shi Yuan, I haven't stayed up late for several months."

Only then did everyone feel relieved. In the words of the light curtain, this is the embodiment of wisdom!

Marquis Zhibiliu?Wisdom surpasses Liuhou!
[In 223, the year following the Yiling War, Liu Bei died of illness in Baidi, and the Jihan Mansion was about to collapse.

After the death of his second and third younger brothers, Liu Bei dragged his old body to gamble for his destiny, and the bet was a complete defeat.

After this failure, even though Liu Bei intended to make a comeback, his body did not allow it, and Zhang Wu died of regret in three years.

After Liu Bei died of illness, Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, granted Zhuge Liang the Marquis of Wuxiang, and granted the right to open the government and manage affairs. The next year, Zhuge Liang led Yizhou Shepherd.

Baidi's carelessness and Liu Chan's decentralization made Ji Han's regrets and dreams, pressure and responsibility, the dilapidated country, and the withered livelihood of the people turned into a mountain, which weighed heavily on Zhuge Liang's shoulders.

Since then, the prime minister carried Ji Han on his shoulders and began his career in governing Shu. 】

Seeing Liu Bei's shame-faced expression, Jiang Wan was very understanding, and softly recited:
"The world is divided into three parts, and Yizhou is exhausted. This is the autumn of life and death."

Pang Tong was more realistic, shaking his head and analyzing:
"More than half of the military strength has been lost, the finances are in trouble, and the Nanzhong rebellion mentioned by the light curtain before should have taken advantage of the trend at this time."

"Light Curtain said it well before, that the collapse of Shuzhong is imminent, and it is not alarmist talk."

No soldiers, no food and no money, how to break the situation in this situation?

[The prime minister who just took over the mess has to face the first dilemma is the lack of money and food.

Yiling's defeat caused Ji Han to lose almost everything, and the economy and people's livelihood were on the verge of collapse.

But the prime minister seemed to have a well-thought-out plan, not long after Liu Bei Tuogu.

A plan for an invisible war took shape in Kong Ming's mind.

This war first needs enough weapons, so in the precarious year 223, the prime minister issued the "Yan Jin Jiao":
"Today's people are poor and the country is empty, and the capital to defeat the enemy is to look up to Jin Er."

No one understood this at the time. At this time, Ji Han was in trouble at home and abroad, and the Shu brocade could neither be eaten nor drunk, so what was the use of it? 】

Not to mention the civil and military officials of Ji Han at that time, the people who were watching the light curtain didn't understand either.

Liu Bei's eyes were blank, he really didn't understand.

Pang Tong thought hard: Since it was Kong Ming's plan, there's no reason why Feng Chu couldn't figure it out!
Jian Yong had a smile on his face, as if he was eating melons and watching a show.

Mi Zhu thought of the currency war mentioned by the light curtain last time, and had some vague guesses in his mind.

Zhang Fei chose the most direct way, and looked at Kong Ming with a pair of big eyes:

"Military division, there is neither money nor food, what can we do with weaving Shu brocade?"

Kong Ming chuckled: "Yide just watched patiently."

[Almost at the same time that "Yan Jin Jiao" was released, the prime minister used his power to add the post of Jin official in Shuzhong.

Jinguan understands the literal meaning, just like the Yanguan and Tieguan in the Yantie official camp.

The addition of brocade officials means that Ji Han's Shu brocade is officially run, and can only be purchased in official markets.

And what was the currency in circulation in Jihanguan City at that time?As we said in the last issue, it was the Zhibaiqian established by Liu Ba.

This didn't change much for the people of Ji Han, but for the prime minister, he finally completed the layout.

The weapons of this war are finally ready, and the next step is to sound the horn of war.

In 224, Deng Zhi was ordered by the prime minister to go to Soochow for peace talks. 】

"My old Zhang understands!" Zhang Fei clapped his hands: "We can exchange Shu brocade for food."

Pang Tong looked at Zhang Fei and shook his head: If it were really that simple, would the light curtain be so exhausting?
But instead of obsessing over this temporarily unclear strategy, it is better to analyze Deng Zhi's mission:

"Previously, Sun Hou and Cao Pi were hypocritical and false."

"Besides, Light Curtain also said before that the re-alliance between Sun Hou and Ji Han caused Cao Pi to ask Jia Xu for advice, and then sent troops out of anger."

Pang Tong shook his head, Cao Pi is such a disobedient lord, it's really unlucky for whoever gets it.

With Jia Xu's talent, it's a pity that the end-of-life strategy can be shelved.

[In fact, although Liu Bei intended to counterattack after the defeat in Yiling, the deterioration of his condition soon prompted Liu Bei to change his mind.

At that time, Sun Quan sent envoys to make peace, but Liu Bei did not refuse. He also sent Song Wei and Fei Yi to Jiangdong as a response.

The peace talks ended without a problem due to Liu Bei's death, but at least it shows that the two sides have a tendency to re-align.

In 224, when the prime minister felt that the time was right, he sent Deng Zhi, who had recommended himself, as an envoy to Soochow.

The intentional alliance of both parties was passed after Sun Quan was a little coy, and Ji Han and Soochow became allies again.

And it also means that Soochow has opened the door to the prime minister.

After the re-alliance, the merchants of Soochow came to Shuzhong with the intention of purchasing Shu brocade, but soon found out in a daze:

Since Shu brocade was taken back to the government camp, it can only be purchased with a hundred dollars in the government market.

Where did the hundred dollars come from?At this time, Ji Han made a request:
Wouldn't it be nice for you to bring food in exchange for [-] qian, and then use [-] qian to buy Shu brocade?

Merchants in Soochow didn't understand why they couldn't directly exchange grain for Shu brocade, but they did it anyway.

Because Soochow's demand for Shu brocade is too great!And it can even be sold to Cao Wei through smuggling in exchange for higher profits.

Because it is clearly recorded in "Hou Han Shu Yufu Zhi", from Mrs. Erqianshi to the queen, silkworm clothes are all used as court clothes.

And Shu brocade is the best among silkworm clothes, no one can refuse it.

Since then, the money and grain needed by Jihan began to be sent to Shuzhong by merchants in a steady stream, and they were exchanged for hundreds of coins in Jihan's official market, and then used to buy Shu brocade.

And just between this entry and exit, Ji Han's official city quietly won this invisible war and reaped a fortune.

Ji Han's treasury began to be full, and Ji Han, who had already reached the edge of the cliff, was successfully pulled back by the prime minister. 】

What the light curtain said was too straightforward, so Pang Tong roughly understood it after simulating it in his mind.

The most critical of them is... "The pricing power of Shu brocade."

Pang Tong grasped the key.

It is an official city and official business, so Ji Han has the final say on how much the brocade is worth, as long as it is not too outrageous.

And counting the one-in-one-out exchange of grain and goods for hundreds of dollars, there is room for manipulation.

And merchants can only accept it, because as long as they bring Shu brocade back to Soochow, or smuggle it to Cao Wei, they can reap even more profits.

As for the consequences of the coins in circulation slowly turning into hundreds of dollars, this is beyond Pang Tong's ability to figure out.

But thinking about it...it shouldn't be a bad thing for Ji Han, right?

"A strategist's brilliant strategy!" Mi Zhu was completely in admiration.

As long as hundreds of coins can be circulated in the market, Ji Han is really exchanging one coin for a hundred coins!

Seize the copper and iron of Soochow and fill the treasury of Ji Han!
Liu Bei still didn't quite understand, so Pang Tong took the simplest and crudest way of saying this:

"My lord, you should be like an official camp of salt and iron. The official city of Shujin will pay as much as it says."

"Unless the gentry of Soochow and Cao Wei can't use Shu brocade, they can only obediently pay."

In this way, Liu Bei understood, and instantly thought of Soochow's way to break the situation.

As long as there is no need for Shu brocade.

But is it possible?Totally impossible.

[Of course, the prime minister did not pin all his hopes on the merchants of Soochow.

At the same time as the Jinguan system was established, the Yanguan system was also established almost at the same time.

In ancient times, water conservancy has always been the key to the prosperity and decline of a place.

The construction of Dujiangyan by Li Bing and his son made Chengdu a land of abundance. However, the construction of Dujiangyan does not mean that it will be done once and for all.

The river course will be silted up, and the embankment will age, so the prime minister specially set up a weir officer with 200 people.

These weir officials are not only soldiers protecting Dujiangyan, but also river workers who dredge the river and maintain the embankment.

This move led to a bumper harvest of grain in Jihan year after year, and the grain warehouse was full.

The weir official system was followed and imitated by later dynasties, and it is a system that has truly blessed the millennium. 】

"Fortune for thousands of years!" Jiang Wan somewhat understood why the Wuhou Temple was still flourishing in later generations.

Li Bing and his son and Zhuge Prime Minister, one created and the other maintained, jointly created Yizhou's 2000-year-old Land of Abundance.

No wonder later generations reverence!
Pang Tong didn't want to talk. It's not that he was new to water conservancy when he was in Jingzhou, but he never thought that the rivers he dredged could last for thousands of years.

[Prime Minister also made improvements to the salt administration in central Shu, setting up the Secretary Yan Xiaowei.

The method of boiling salt in the fire well that is still used in Sichuan is from the improvement of the prime minister at that time.

The improvement measures left by the prime minister from time to time include changing salt cooking from home fires to cooking salt in fire wells, improving the efficiency of fire wells, and adding salt wells.

These improvements more than doubled the salt production in central Shu and became an important source of Ji Han's economic income.

Naturally, Tie Zheng couldn't escape the prime minister's poisonous hand, so he set up a general, Jin Zhonglang.

The Three Kingdoms period happened to be the time when iron smelting technology developed rapidly. With the support of the prime minister, Ji Han's iron smelting technology developed rapidly.

The improvement of iron smelting technology not only brought sharper weapons, but also made Ji Han's farm tools more useful, which drove the development of agriculture.

The establishment of posts such as Yan Guan, Jin Guan, Si Yan Xiaowei, and Si Jin Zhonglang General laid a good foundation for the prime minister to govern Shu. 】

The side hall has completely fallen into silence.

Although the generals can't understand it, it feels very powerful to hear it.

But Jiang Wan and the others were completely silent.

It is already very powerful for other civil servants to have a policy that lasts for a hundred years.

As a result, if the prime minister is here today, if you take out any random one, it will be a blessing for thousands of years.

Water conservancy is so simple?Is it as simple as making salt?How easy is it to make money?
But thinking about the praise that the light curtain gave to Kong Ming before, everyone became balanced again, and even felt a sense of right.

After all, the incarnation of wisdom is very reasonable.

Since the incarnation of wisdom is called Crouching Dragon, isn't Fengchu...

Feeling the sight concentrated on himself, Pang Tong pretended not to notice, and there was only one thought in his mind:
Don't bring such bullying!

[After having money and food, the prime minister also began to think about it: There is no way, Nanzhong is too busy.

Perhaps it was because of the defeat of Yiling that the prestige of Ji Han was damaged. In short, when Liu Bei was thinking about whether to counterattack or negotiate peace in Baidi City, Nanzhong began to make trouble.

After Liu Bei died of illness, the prime minister looked at Ji Han's mess and concluded by himself: everything is always prioritized.

After all, if you run to Pingnan Middle School when you are running out of food, it's purely because you think you didn't die fast enough.

Liu Bei died of illness in 223. After that, the prime minister had to be busy with Jinguan, salt and iron administration, water conservancy repairs, and sent Deng Zhi to negotiate peace with Sun Wu.

It wasn't until Ji Han and Jiangdong re-aligned in 224, and the following year that Cao Pi was furious and defeated Wu for the second time, that the prime minister was finally free to clean up Nanzhong.

The time of Pingnan Middle School is 225 years, and the self-reported departure of the teacher list is in May, and the historical records record that the class is in Chengdu in December.

The prime minister was in a hurry, after all, the Northern Expedition was going to be next year, and the earlier this year ended, the earlier he could rest.

Therefore, it is decided to divide the troops into three groups and strive for the first battle.

The prime minister's main force went out of Yiwang Gaoding of Yueyi County and successfully wiped him out. Ma Zhong led the army to successfully destroy Zhu Bao, the governor of Canke County, and Li Hui suppressed Yongkai of Yizhou County without any danger. 】

When talking about the war, Guan Zhangzhao and other generals finally cheered up, but they soon became disappointed again:

"So weak?" Zhang Fei exclaimed.

The map projected by the light curtain is clearly marked. Even the so-called Yi Wang Gaoding has only 2000 men under his command.

What are 2000 people enough for?Zhang Fei pondered for a while, Hefei city can be broken... Oh no, Zhang Wenyuan is an elite soldier.

If the Xiao crowd gathers bandits, 2000 people will only be wiped out.

Ma Liang had just gone to Wuling County to make friends with Wuximan, and he shook his head and said:
"The terrain in the south is complicated. If you can't make it home, repeated rebellions will be annoying."

Zhao Yun nodded and said:
"Conquering barbarians and Yue has always been the worst strategy, and making them admire Sinicization is the strategy for long-term stability."

This is actually the experience of the entire Han Dynasty. After all, the army can't enter the mountains when they come here, and it is not worthwhile to consume food and grass every day.

Everyone couldn't think of a good way for a while, so they finally looked at Kong Ming: If it is a military adviser, there must be a good way, right?

Kong Ming frowned and looked at the light curtain. Thinking of his own lifespan in the history of the light curtain, he always had some bad premonitions.

【Compared to Nanzhong, the prime minister needs to look at it from two aspects.

On the one hand, in a short period of time, Nanzhong rebelled many times, even leading to the death of generals like Xiang Chong.

On the other hand, for a long time, until 600 years later, there are still ethnic groups who regard the prime minister as their ancestor, abide by the agreement, and guard the country for China.

This is an extremely divisive and even cognitively conflicting situation, and it may involve the competition for the interests of the Ancient Body Poison Dao. 】
