Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 565 Want to make money

  Luoyang only had the Zhao family army led by Zhao Hanzhang, the Nanyang army of Zhao Erlang, and the Xiliang army of Bei Gongchun.

   Zhao Hanzhang saw that Zhao Erlang was having a good time here, so he simply let Wang Dang, who stayed in Nanyang Kingdom, temporarily take the responsibility of the county governor, and then let Zhao Erlang start to select his own elite soldiers.

   "You pick a thousand people first, you have to practice these thousand people every day, and the rest are stationed in Xin'an."

   Zhao Erlang: "Where is Xin'an?"

"Xin'an is not far from Luoyang. It is a small county town. I asked, there is no county magistrate there. I will send a county magistrate there. As for you, you will be stationed in Xin'an, and you can watch and help Gucheng and Luoyang." Zhao Hanzhang He waved at him and told him to look at the map, "Chen Wu's Qihuo Army is here, Bei Gongchun is stationed in Luoyang, if the Huns want to go south, they must pass through Gucheng, and if the Nanyang King of Xianbei and Chang'an comes over, they must pass through Xin'an County. , both of you are the pioneers of Beigong Chun."

"Luoyang is the gateway to the Central Plains. If the Xianbei and the Xiongnu go south, if they bypass Luoyang, the front will be stretched. They will not have enough food and grass, and they will most likely be cut off by Luoyang, and we will close the door and beat the dogs." The more Zhao Hanzhang said, the more he felt. It is best to let Bei Gong pure guard Luoyang.

Her eyes were bright, "Last year, Liu Yuan bypassed Luoyang and attacked Yuzhou. If Bei Gongchun was guarding Luoyang, Liu Yuan would either be surrounded by us in Yuzhou, or he would have to flee east for his life, go to Yanzhou, and return via Jizhou. "

  Unfortunately, the defender of the city was the King of the East Sea. He just sat there and waited for Liu Yuan to meet Gou Xi, blinding such a good opportunity to expel the Xiongnu.

   Zhao Hanzhang just regretted it for a while, and then returned to the topic, "After going to Xin'an, you not only have to train troops, but also learn to station troops. Xie Shi will follow you. If you don't understand, ask Mr. for advice, do you know?"

   Zhao Erlang nodded, "Sister, I know how to train troops, that is, farming. When I was in Xiping, I also followed them in farming. I know how to plant and harvest wheat."

   Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him approvingly, "This time the field is not only farming, but also road building."

  Thinking of the official road going back to Luoyang via Gucheng this time, Zhao Hanzhang looked disgusted, "The sky is full of potholes and dust. Fortunately, we have an ox cart except for a horse, otherwise the cart would have to turn over if it were faster."

  Let's not talk about anything else, let's build the road first.

   She said: "The official road from Xin'an to Luoyang will be repaired by your soldiers of Nanyang Kingdom."

   Zhao Erlang, unaware of the danger, responded with one bite.

   When Xie Shi knew it was over, he looked at Zhao Erlang silently and asked, "Erlang didn't ask the envoy for something?"

   "What do you want?"

   "I want money!" Xie Shi said, "Don't you need money to build a road?"

  Zhao Erlang said bluntly: "My sister has no money. Today's evening meal, I started to mix wheat bran into the cakes. The baked cakes are not very delicious."

  "..." Xie Shi said tiredly: "To build a road, I need money!"

   Zhao Erlang waved his hand indifferently and said, "I have money, use mine."

   He turned his head and said to Zhao Cai, "Go and get my money box."

   Zhao Cai glanced at Xie Shi, then turned to take it, but he didn't give it to Xie Shi, but opened it in his arms for Xie Shi to see.

  Xie Shi saw that the gold and silver coins inside were mixed with some silver ingots and copper coins, and he knew that it was pocket money he had accumulated by himself.

  Xie Shi waved his hand, asked Zhao Cai to put it away, and asked, "Erlang, where do you have so many spoils?"

   Not to mention the houses and shops, he still robbed them, oh, he collected a lot of pearls, gems, gold and silver utensils and the like.

   Zhao Erlang said: "I gave it all to my sister."

  Xie Shi: "...Forget it, let me ask for money."

   Zhao Hanzhang finally sat at the table, holding an abacus and calculating against the ledger.

  Fu Tinghan, who was approving official documents, heard the abacus sound getting quieter and sparser, and raised his head to look at her, "Is there a big gap?"

   Zhao Hanzhang sighed with the ledger, "The main reason is that there are too many people to support, and I don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate. If Fan Ying and the others bring back 200,000 people, I don't think they can support them."

   100,000 people, just her limit, so she still has to struggle to maintain it.

  Fu Tinghan flipped through it, took out a few pieces of paper and handed it over, "Chen County sent it, you might be happier after seeing it."

   Zhao Hanzhang stretched out his hand and took it. The above is the armament list that Zhao Ming gave him. Yuzhou is operating normally, and both iron mines are producing, so they can supply armaments.

   "Replace the broken and unusable weapons among the generals and give them to the blacksmith to smelt them into farm implements." Zhao Hanzhang folded these sheets of paper and glued them into the account book with records, then sighed with his chin supported.

  Fu Tinghan took time to look up at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

   "I'm thinking about money." She said, "I was just trying to figure out where to get the money, and found that there are only three places where I can get the money."

   Fu Tinghan raised his eyebrows.

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "One is the Liangjiang area, which has always been relatively stable, and is a land of fish and rice. I bought a lot of grain from there last time; the other is the Jiangnan area, which is a quiet corner. I have been talking about the grain and cloth there for a long time;"

   Fu Tinghan saw her stop, and he asked enthusiastically, "Where's the third place?"

Zhao Hanzhang moved his eyebrows to the north, "Where the Xiongnu and Xianbei, how many good things Liu Yuan and the others have scavenged from the Central Plains over the years, the nobles in Liangjiang and Jiangnan have always admired the aristocrats of the Central Plains, if they can buy those things back , go to the south, I don't know how much food and cloth I can get back."

  Glass is very profitable, so Fu Tinghan made a lot of glass in the past two years, in order to support Zhao Hanzhang's army.

   It can be said that the most profitable industry under Zhao Hanzhang's name is the glass workshop. Whether it is a businessman, a gentry, or even ordinary people, it seems that it is difficult to resist the transparent and beautiful glass products.

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "I think the Huns and Xianbei people are also hard to resist the temptation to live in Liuli."

  Fu Tinghan: "Besides money, the thing you need most is a horse."

   "Yes," Zhao Hanzhang patted the table and said, "It's a horse! It's a pity that the Huns and Xianbei people are very wary of us, and they hardly sell stallions to the Han people."

   Every time you buy a horse, you get back either a castrated or an inferior stallion that has been bought back at a high price.

   Zhao Hanzhang was afraid that he would distribute a bunch of inferior horses.

   Every time she urges the horses to go out, Wei Matou asks her for a stallion, but she is worried to death.

  Fu Tinghan: "Didn't you ask Wu Erlang to follow the Bingzhou envoy to Jinyang?"

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "It's not enough to rely on him alone, I want to cultivate a smuggling gang that digs my corner."

  Fu Tinghan paused for a while before realizing what she meant, "You mean, you want a person who, in the eyes of the other party, has not been discovered by you, digs your corner, and takes advantage of your interests to cooperate with the other party?"

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded.

  Fu Tinghan's back froze and looked at her, "Who?"

   Zhao Hanzhang just looked at him.

  Fu Tinghan: "...why me?"

   "You don't need to come forward, just use your name and show it occasionally. Naturally, these things are done by the people below."

  Fu Tinghan: "For example?"

   "For example, Fu An." Is there anyone who can show Fu Tinghan's identity better than Fu An?

See you tomorrow
