Mythical Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties, establishment of empire

Chapter 33 The goodness of Qin Jin
A flurry of probing was exchanged, and then nothing happened.

"I admire General Tiangong for daring to be the first in the world. My Lord also didn't know that General Tiangong paid so much attention to me. He is really flattered."

"General Liu destroyed Xianbei in one battle. This happened in Youzhou. It has been known to the world for a long time. It has brought peace to the people, and I am also fascinated by it!" The old god Zhang Liang is here. Since he gave up on restoring the country, Zhang Liang has almost disappeared. At the lower limit, my own abilities are getting stronger every day.

At this time, Zhang Jiao knew that he was not suitable for reception, so he lowered his head to drink water and eat vegetables.

Liu Ye raised his eyebrows. His level has been improving every day since he arrived in Zhuojun. There are five counselors of the same level. They learn from each other and their abilities improve quickly. Naturally, he wants to challenge this famous counselor. Zhang Liang in the world.

Liu Ye and Zhang Liang started a debate. The two talked about hundreds of classics, astronomy and gossip, from governing the country and safeguarding the country to the great cause of anti-Qin.

Although Liu Ye lost in the end, you should know that Liu Ye's talent is a great blessing for debate, but he still lost unexpectedly.Liu Ye wiped his cold sweat. Where did this monster come from? Liu Ye estimated that none of his four colleagues were Zhang Liang's opponents.

Zhang Liang looked like an old man on the surface, but he didn't feel relieved secretly. He was a young man with wild and unconstrained thoughts. If he hadn't come up with random ideas, he would have almost been embarrassed and overturned. If those fellow juniors knew about it. , afraid of being laughed to death.

Liu Ye was deep in thought and started a serious profit transaction. His opponent was too strong. If he showed any flaws again, he might not be able to escape today.

"My lord, Prefect Liu, is willing to form an alliance with Taiping Dao to fight against the violent Qin Dynasty together!" Liu Ye gave up the useless temptation and began to talk about actual interests. When facing this thousand-year-old fox in front of him, he still needed to be careful.

"We are naturally willing to form an alliance with Youzhou, but Liu Taishou can't represent Youzhou, can he?" Zhang Liang naturally knew that the current Youzhou pastor was Cao Shen, and Liu Hua was just the prefect of a county, which was much inferior to the Yellow Turbans.

"Don't worry, General Renggong, our lord has naturally obtained Youzhou Mu's permission." Liu Ye took out Youzhou Mu's letter and handed it to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang handed over the envelope and joked about how Zhang Liang could not contact Cao Shen. Although the two parties have not concluded an alliance, they have contacted each other privately. Youzhou and Jizhou are so close. If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, especially when both sides will meet each other. When a big battle comes, I won’t be at ease.

With Liu Hua's large-scale farming and grain purchase, Youzhou was rich in war horses and livestock.Zhang Liang knew that Liu Hua was rich, but he didn't know exactly how much.

Zhang Liang got straight to the point: "We are willing to form an alliance with Youzhou, but our Yellow Turban population is large, our output is not enough, and we have no surplus food to trade with Youzhou!"

Liu Ye's goal appeared. The Yellow Turbans now have millions of people, but the Yellow Turbans' food is not enough to feed so many people. Zhang Jiao does not want the people to suffer, so he still distributes relief food. This makes the Yellow Turbans' already poor food supply even more difficult. Nervous, and Liu Ye’s goal is to increase the population of the Yellow Turbans, and he also hopes that the Yellow Turbans will introduce refugees to Youzhou. Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and with Liu Huamin Village, one person can’t wait to split it in half and use it. If it is through trade, you I get food, horses, and people. Isn’t it wonderful?
Liu Ye said: "My lord knows that it is not easy to support the people in Jizhou, so he is willing to fund the Yellow Turbans with grain and war horses in exchange for the refugees in Jizhou."

Trading people will be an enemy in the troubled times in the future, but the Yellow Turbans have no way to refuse. This is Liu Ye's obvious conspiracy, and he is not afraid that the Yellow Turbans will not take the bait.

Zhang Liang said quickly: "Okay! I didn't expect that Prefect Liu was so kind and willing to help the victims." "Okay?" Liu Ye was finally surprised and said. He didn't expect Zhang Liang to agree so easily. It seems that the food of the Yellow Turban Really unable to hold on anymore, he said: "I hope the Yellow Turbans can send a legion to escort the refugees."

"That's natural. The Yellow Turbans will send an elite escort." Zhang Liang said solemnly. Zhang Liang had already told Zhang Jiao all the possible situations, including human trade. After all, the Yellow Turbans really can't feed themselves with food. There are so many people, and Prefect Liu is keeping the people well, so Zhang Jiao can rest assured that he will hand over the people to Liu Ye.

"I hope that the two states of Hebei and You can have a good relationship with Qin and Jin!" Seeing Zhang Liang's eyes, he knew that the matter was almost settled. Zhang Jiao stopped pretending to be deaf and raised his glass of water and said to Liu Ye.

"Would you like to marry Qin and Jin?" Liu Ye raised his water glass and drank it with doubt.

The good relationship between Qin and Jin is an idiom derived from historical stories. The earliest allusion to the idiom comes from Zuo Qiuming's "Zuo Zhuan·The 23rd Year of Duke Xi" in the Spring and Autumn Period.It refers to the marriage alliance between Qin and Jin. Zhang Jiao only has one daughter. It is possible that Zhang Jiao wants to marry Taishou Liu.

Liu Ye could see what Zhang Jiao meant. After all, Zhang Jiao's biological daughter was beside him, and Zhang Liang was silent. It was obvious that Zhang Liang also agreed to the marriage.

"However, my lord is only ten years old, and Zhang Jiao's daughter is also beautiful, which matches my lord!" Liu Ye started to analyze the meaning of Zhang Jiao's words.

As for Zhang Jiao's casual remarks?
Just kidding, this is the leader of Taiping Taoism, a famous figure in the world. His brother and daughter do not object, how can he act like a political novice.

"However, this marriage seems to be a good idea!" Liu Ye thought, but he would definitely have to go back and discuss this matter with Liu Hua to see what Liu Hua meant.Although Liu Ye thought Liu Hua would not refuse.

As for the details of the transactions of population, grain, and war horses, Liu Ye and Zhang Liang had to have a heated exchange of words.

Finally, it was decided that for every 2.5 refugees escorted by the Yellow Turbans to Zhuo County, they would be exchanged for 12 shi of grain or 1 war horses.It can be said that Liu Hua was very wealthy. Based on the calculation that a person ate [-] kilograms of grain a day and a war horse ate [-] kilograms of grain a day, Liu Hua gave [-] people enough food for a week.

For Liu Hua, the area of ​​cultivated land increased after the grain was farmed, basically two stones per mu plus what was purchased by the Chamber of Commerce. Liu Hua was not short of food. As for war horses, are you kidding that there aren't them everywhere on the grassland!
Zhang Liang felt like he was going crazy. He knew that Liu Hua was very rich now, but he didn't expect that Zhuojun was so rich. It seemed that the farming matter was urgent. With Huang Jin's current size, the amount of food consumed every day was astronomical.

In fact, the output of two stones per mu of land was not enough for Liu Hua to squander so much. The real source of food was mainly commerce. When Liu Bang was alive, Lu Pheasant had already led the Liu family's caravan to firmly seize the food. The four industries of Buma Salt were vigorously developed. Although they shrunk after Liu Bang's death, it was not long before the rise of Liu Hua and the Liu family's caravan gained momentum. The business in the four industries spread all over You and Hebei. Four states.

It can be said that Liu Hua's rise is inseparable from the support of Lu Pheasant, especially the fact that the person in power behind Youzhou is Lu Pheasant. After all, the skills of this powerful Empress Gao should not be underestimated, and even some of her arrangements even Liu Hua couldn't bear. Not sure.
