The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 385
Chapter 390

"Don't provoke the hidden guards for the time being, we can't go if you want to..." Hu Xia, a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar, said: "The status of the dark guards is too special to be easily contacted, but the frontier army One or two can be manipulated, after all, a small lieutenant does not have much power and is prone to accidents."

"It's easy at this time." Xu Ji said: "There are tens of thousands of frontier troops. It's easy to find one or two people who are greedy for money. Wait for me to send someone to find them."

"Brother Zhu Yang, there is news from the grassland that there will be another batch of goods. I hope you can prepare one or two. Here is the list." After Xu Ji finished speaking, he took out a list and handed it to Zhu Yang.

"Huh?" After Zhu Yang read the list, he frowned and said, "This weapon, the Bingjia, is easy to say, and the monthly income is huge, so it is easy to operate, but this powerful crossbow is something that the army urgently needs, and these weapons have codes. , all dispatches are recorded..."

"Brother Zhu Yang, selling a strong crossbow to the army is only three percent of the profit, but transporting it to the north will be dozens of times more profitable..." Xu Ji hastily reminded.

"The new ones must not be moved, but there are a group of items that have been eliminated in the army. If there is a transfer order, it will be easy to handle." Zhu Yang said awkwardly.

"It's easy." As an existence like a counselor, Hu Xia said: "The aliens in the north lack armor, let alone such sharp weapons as crossbows. Although those crossbows are eliminated in the army, they can still be used. Will be liked by those alien races."

"As for the transfer of documents." Hu Xia said here, looked at Wang Ji and said, "That adult can do it."

"Then Brother Lao Ji will ask that lord to take action on this matter, and the benefits will definitely satisfy that lord." Xu Ji smiled slightly, thinking that this matter can be done completely.

"As for delivery?" After Hu Xia finished speaking, she looked at Li Lin who was expressionless.

"Hey." Li Lin sighed and said, "As usual, I'm only responsible for shipping by sea, and I don't care about anything else."

"Hehe..." The other four smiled slightly after hearing this, and it was done at this time.

Just when everyone was toasting to celebrate, shouts and fighting sounds came from downstairs, which changed the faces of the five people, especially Li Lin, who reacted the most, got up immediately and looked down, waiting to see the situation downstairs clearly After that, his face was ashen.

"Take it..."

A group of soldiers trying on the armor rushed up and captured all five of them. No one dared to resist. These soldiers were wearing the armor of Liu Bei's personal guards, representing Liu Bei.

Then came the joint trial of the three divisions. Of course, in this era, especially in troubled times, there is no morality and humanity. The so-called joint trial of the three divisions is just after a period of torture, the answer is obtained, and then several departments report it together, and then execute Liu Bei's order at the same time. Just an order.

"presumptuous......."

"There are such smudges in the army..."

"Then Xu Ji's net worth is so rich, his wealth can rival a country..."

"To buy so many officials."

"How to deal with that lord, I ask His Majesty to decide."

When the confessions of several people were put in front of them, all the people involved in the case were taken aback. The wealthy businessman Xu Ji took the lead, and the No. In the north, the frontier army opened a gap to let these weapons enter the grassland.

"It's not just being an enemy, it's treason, treason..." Liu Bei concluded that this matter was treason, and selling these excellent weapons to the enemy of the Central Plains, the foreign race in the grassland, was simply insane.

"That man, bring it!"

In the end, Liu Bei personally ordered to take down their so-called adults.

When this matter was exposed, the government and the public were shaken. There were hundreds of officials involved, and the most prestigious one was Xu You, who had made great achievements and was in charge of the military supply dispatch of the military department.

Xu You is Liu Bei's great hero in taking over Jizhou, and his merits added up are not insignificant. The most important thing is that Xu You is a celebrity, who is highly valued by Liu Bei, and there is a daughter married into the palace, who can be regarded as a relative of the emperor. ah.

"kill!"

When the final judgment came, Liu Bei personally ordered that all those involved beheaded.

"The family members were exiled to the frontier, and the property was confiscated from the treasury!"

"Order all the armies to rectify. If such things happen again, they will be dealt with from top to bottom."

With Liu Bei's order, more than 300 people were cut off in this incident, most of them were officials, and a large number of clans were ransacked, and they disappeared in the long river of history.

"Xu Ji dared to sell weapons to the grassland, he is really a traitor..."

"Xu Ji is a well-known wealthy businessman. I heard that he donated tens of thousands of silver to build roads last year, and he also funded the construction of more than ten colleges..."

"It's true that people know people, know faces, but don't know their hearts. The people in the grassland are my mortal enemies, plundering the borders of the Han people all the year round, and killing the people of the Han people..."

"Should kill!"

"It is said that Xu You is a third-rank official and a relative of the emperor. I didn't expect to be involved in this matter."

"Your Majesty is really..."

The rolling head fell to the ground, causing a huge disturbance, and the incident became a sensation, and even the world began to spread that businessmen are ungrateful for profit, and all businessmen are treacherous villains, so the businessmen should be banned.

There are even rumors that Liu Bei's promotion of business is actually short-sighted, and his act of competing for profits with the people is against the ancestral system and will bring disaster to the great man.

"Catch! Kill!"

Guo Jia used two words to solve these rumors.Of course, he refers to those people with bad intentions, who are the source of rumors. Smart people can see that these rumors come from those so-called Confucian clans. Their purpose is self-evident. They want the world to know the consequences of violating the ancestral system. .

"Business is desirable, but it should not be laissez-faire, and it needs to be strictly monitored."

"Businessmen are not allowed to participate in politics, and they are not allowed to mingle with officials."

"Officials are not allowed to participate in commercial affairs, and the supervision should be strengthened. Anyone who colludes with officials and businessmen will be killed!"

"Army shall..."

A series of laws and regulations were released, all regulating businessmen, officials, and the army.

Chen Ziming, who was in Liangzhou, learned of the cause and effect of the incident, and immediately wrote to Liu Bei, mentioning some ways to regulate the behavior of businessmen.

Moreover, it is proposed that the establishment of the Raid Act requires that all businessmen who have the possibility of raids need to be suppressed. Raiding means huge profits, means power, and means that businessmen can already interfere in politics.

Chen Ziming also specifically proposed that some things should be state-owned and controlled by the state, and the capital and income should all belong to the state, such as minerals, forests, and steel. . . . . . .

"If the clan is suppressed, we must not let the wealthy merchants get involved. Once the wealthy merchants participate in politics, the harm caused by the clan will be a hundred times greater." Chen Ziming secretly reviewed, he has been staring at the clan, especially the huge influence However, he did not expect that the businessmen he pushed up with one hand had already begun to extend their hands to the regime.
