Farmer of Shu Han

Seeing the child's mother's little fox appearance, Feng Junhou became more and more sure that she must know something.

So Feng Junhou urged with a little dissatisfaction:

"Tch! It's just you and me here, and you still want to play tricks on me? Tell me quickly, what exactly is Qin Bo trying to do?"

Zhang Xiaosi gave him a white look:

"Didn't I say that? When he first came to Chang'an, he just came to deliver greeting cards, without going into details at all. How do I know what he is going to do?"

Feng Junhou nodded her forehead:

"He didn't say it, so you just guessed what he wanted to do. Say it quickly, don't be a secret."

After these years of training, even if Secretary Zhang is not as good as the queen, he is probably not too far behind.

It's not that Feng Junhou has never met Qin Bo, and knows that he is smart, but in terms of vision and style, he is not at the same level as Zhang Xiaosi.

To put it bluntly, it is impossible for any scholar with a little ambition to stoop to enter the school affairs office as a school official.

After all, entering the school affairs mansion is destined to stand on the opposite side of the government and the people of Wu, to be hated by the officials in the court, to bear a bad name, and to be cast aside by others.

Without the participation of scholars, it is almost impossible for the school officials in the school affairs office to have any long-term vision.

The most important thing is that, as the sharp knife in Sun Quan's hands, the School Affairs Office is impossible for Sun Quan to allow it to have its own ideas.

If a knife has a mind of its own, can it still be called a knife?

What if one day I turned around and chopped off my master?

"In the matter of the Iron Armored Cavalry, the initiative is in our hands. Whether it is Qin Bo or Zhu Ju, they all have requests from us."

Feng Junhou looked at Zhang Xiaosi, and continued:

"Qin Bo came to Chang'an, it's okay if he didn't make any moves, but if he made any moves, it would never escape your eyes."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaosi smiled triumphantly:

"It's Ah Lang who knows me."

But seeing her leaning softly into someone's arms, she said:

"What Qin Bo did is really as A Lang expected. These days, he has been trying to inquire about the affairs of the Han army, such as the price of weapons."

Feng Junhou frowned: "Inquire about the price of weapons in the army? How do you inquire?"

The cost of weapons and armor in the army is a secret.

Not to mention outsiders, even generals in the army, unless they are qualified to reach that level, they are useless.

"Anyway, he is also an envoy sent by Wu Guo, and he is also related to Wu Guojian's cavalry army. It is normal to inquire about cavalry related matters."

For someone else to inquire about this kind of thing, it must be something wrong.

But this time it was a cooperation between the Han and Wu armies. Qin Bo, as the envoy of Wu, was specially sent by Sun Quan to discuss matters concerning the Armored Cavalry.

Zhang Xiaosi explained: "In the name of thanking the cavalry for teaching, I invited some generals of the army to the banquet. I just wanted to know the money and food consumed by the cavalry on weekdays."

"Oh?" Feng Junhou nodded, expressing his understanding.

As long as the real cost is not leaked out, then everything is easy to say.

In terms of forming the cavalry, Feng Junhou followed the normal market price.

It would be impossible for him to quote a low price to Sun Quan based on the alliance between Han and Wu.

But if you want to increase the price on purpose, that's okay——Feng Junhou's idea is not a one-time transaction.

His intention is in the later maintenance.

Armored cavalry not only have extremely high requirements for war horses, but also wear a lot of war horses.

More importantly, he now wants to get Wu's shipbuilding technology into his hands.

After all, as long as he has mastered the shipbuilding technology, the big man can build warships by himself even without the help of Wu Guo in the future.

But if there is no big man in the state of Wu, there will be no war horses.

Even if Sun Quan wanted to recite Han Lian Wei again, where would he buy horses?

It may be very difficult for Wei Guo to rely on Youzhou alone to maintain its own cavalry.

Not to mention that Feng Guiwang is now preparing to move the source of war horses in Youzhou.

"Could it be that Sun Quan felt that the cost of cavalry was too high and that we had deceived Zhu Ju?"

"not sure."

Zhang Xiaosi leaned into Feng Junhou's arms and sighed comfortably.

The last moments of spring are cool and pleasant, neither as cold as it was two months ago, nor as hot as summer.

The two snuggled together, very comfortable.

"But according to my concubine, the money and food consumed by the Armored Cavalry Army is out of the expectation of the Wu people. I am afraid that the current treasury of the Wu Kingdom will not be able to produce so many supplies."

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, and couldn't help laughing:

"A few days ago, Ma Youchang (that is, Ma Di) also sent news from the state of Wu, saying that Sun Quan planned to mint a large amount of money again."

"I estimate that this batch of money is most likely prepared for the establishment of the cavalry army."

Feng Junhou's right hand involuntarily penetrated into Zhang Xiaosi's clothes from the seam, and nodded in agreement at the same time:

"So, he minted a lot of money and found that it was not enough, so he sent Qin Bo over to take a look?"

Speaking of this, Feng Junhou also laughed.

The big money in Wu country has already been promoted from "Daquan five hundred" to "Daquan Dangqian".

If it is recast, it will change from "Daquan Dangqian" to "Daquan Erqian".

Great money casting!

The more Sun Shiwan minted, the easier it would be for the Dahan Reserve Bureau to spread its ticket business in Wu.

It will be fun when the tickets cross Wuchang and penetrate into Jiangdong one day.

Thinking of this, Feng Junhou couldn't help getting a little excited, and subconsciously exerted some strength on his hands.

Zhang Xiaosi groaned softly, twisted his body to facilitate the movement of Feng Junhou's hands, and at the same time his breathing became slightly rapid:

"Whether it's true or not, after A Lang meets Qin Bo, he can find out after a little testing."

"Alright. But before meeting him, let me climb the mountain..."

"Wow!"

Unexpectedly, Feng Junhou still overestimated himself. After climbing the mountain, he said he wanted to take a rest, but he overslept, and finally saw Qin Bo the next day.

This was nothing at all, after all, Feng Junhou had just returned to Chang'an, he was exhausted from traveling and horses, and he was exhausted, so it was human nature to rest for a day or two before seeing guests.

For a lucky minister like Qin Bo, all the above shall prevail.

When he came here this time, he was asking for something, so Feng Junhou was naturally regarded as the best.

He would definitely not come to the door rashly like Zhu Ju did.

Even after seeing Feng Junhou, he simply gave a big gift: "See you, Junhou!"

"Why is School Qin so generous?"

Although in the eyes of Wu Guoren, the school officials in the school affairs office are all masters who don't care about personnel affairs.

But in Feng Junhou's eyes, the school office is a partner.

After getting up, Qin Bo looked at Feng Junhou and said respectfully:

"I haven't seen Junhou for a long time, but I suddenly saw you again, and I was caught by Junhou Huwei."

Although I know that the other party is a compliment, who doesn't like to hear flattery?

Feng Junhou only felt comfortable all over, and laughed:

"I'm over the award, the Qin school is over the award, please sit down."

After the host and guest sat down respectively, Feng Junhou asked:

"At the beginning of Guanzhong, I was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the emperor, so I didn't dare to take it lightly, so I was a little busy a few days ago, and I didn't have time to see the Qin school."

"I've waited a long time for school affairs Qin, I hope school affairs Qin is not to blame, I just hope you don't miss Lord Wu's affairs."

Qin Bo quickly replied:

"Junhou is guarding the pass. He is responsible for the safety of his family and the country. He is deeply trusted by the emperor. It is a good thing that others can't ask for."

"For such a good thing, I only hope that there will be more and more lords, how can I blame it? After all, lords are promoted, villains and others can also enjoy the blessings of lords."

This is not a polite remark.

To a large extent, the turnaround of the school affairs office was due to the generosity of the prince in front of him, who was willing to let the Xinghan Society squeeze out a part of the material, so that the school affairs office could participate in the big business.

Hearing Qin Bo's words, Feng Junhou laughed again, very happy:

"It's not good luck. The school and I are just helping each other and benefiting each other. Win-win, win-win!"

Qin Bo also laughed along with him:

"Junhou said it's a win-win situation, so it must be a win-win situation."

Feng Junhou looked at the other party, feeling very happy in his heart: You know what a win-win situation, I mean I want to win twice!

After the politeness, Feng Junhou officially turned to the topic:

"I don't know if Lord Wu sent school affairs here this time, but what's the important thing?"

Speaking of business, Qin Bo quickly restrained his expression:

"Return to the Lord, that's right."

"I don't know what's going on?"

"Iron Armored Cavalry."

When Feng Junhou heard this, he wondered:

"I haven't heard any objections from General Zhu about the armored cavalry. Could it be that Lord Wu has changed his mind again?"

Qin Bo smiled bitterly and said:

"General Zhu is the leader of the army. He only cares about leading the army. He is a gentleman, but if he has any questions, he will give them all. How can he have any objections?"

"It's just that General Zhu sent someone back to send back the news about the money and food consumed by the armored cavalry. That's why His Majesty sent a villain to check the situation this time."

Feng Junhou looked as expected:

"Master Wu thinks that armored cavalry is too expensive?"

"Exactly." Seeing Feng Junhou's appearance, Qin Bo couldn't help asking curiously, "Could it be that Cheng Junhou had expected it?"

Feng Junhou heard the words, smiled, and said unhurriedly:

"Back then, the Wei thief rode tigers and leopards, and they had never been defeated. With such an elite army, the Qin school may wish to guess why the Wei thief didn't keep it, but disbanded it instead?"

Qin Bo was taken aback.

He looked up at Feng Junhou, lowered his tone subconsciously, and asked hesitantly:

"Your Majesty's meaning... is it that the tiger and leopard riders of the Wei thief are also extremely expensive, so in the end the Wei thief had no choice but to disband?"

Feng Junhou didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Qin Bo's face, and his expression gradually became a little solemn:

"Although I haven't seen much with Principal Qin, the Xinghan Society and the School Affairs Office are very happy to cooperate. Therefore, there are some things that I can't say in front of outsiders, but I am willing to say them in front of Principal Qin."

When Qin Bo heard this, he quickly sat upright:

"Your Majesty, please speak, I will listen with all my ears."

Feng Junhou sighed:

"Everyone in the world knows that it's not easy to start a business, but how easy is it to keep it successful? Since the world was divided into three parts, the first emperor once made a hundred coins, and Lord Wu has repeatedly made big coins."

Having said that, he glanced at Qin Bo again.

Qin Bo's face was slightly different, and he opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he forcibly held back.

Feng Junhou then continued:

"As for Wei, even the coins were abolished. He would rather increase the inconvenience of the common people, and trade in real objects such as silk grains."

"Why is this so? Isn't it because the war has lasted for a long time, the world is exhausted, the people are in poverty, and the imperial treasury has no money or food, so it is a last resort?"

In human terms, the Three Kingdoms of Han, Wei and Wu adopted different methods in balancing taxation and restoring the economy.

In the beginning, Ji Han and Wu Guo used the same means to help the country survive the most difficult period by plundering folk wealth.

The difference is that Ji Han has a great internal affairs evildoer, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. After taking over Ji Han's mess, he pulled Ji Han out of the desperate situation of internal and external difficulties.

Not only has the economy been restored and the people's livelihood has been developed, but in the end there is still room to use troops abroad.

Wu Guo is different.

I don't know if Sun Dadi tasted the sweetness, couldn't control himself, and finally couldn't quit.

Or, there is no such person as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty in the country, and no one helps him restore people's livelihood and economy. At the same time, in order to maintain huge expenditures, he has to cast more and more money.

In a word, there is no going back!

As for Wei Guo, it is more like shock therapy for later generations.

After forcibly going through the shock period with the strongest foundation, the economy can be restored at the fastest speed.

Therefore, the foundation Cao Cao left for Cao Pi and Cao Rui is still too solid.

Even so, the state of Wei couldn't bear the food-hungry troops such as tiger and leopard cavalry.

And from the perspective of the time, Ji Han and Wu Guo, who had no cavalry or very few cavalry, had no ability to compete with Wei Guo in this regard.

In order to reduce the burden and adapt to the current situation, Wei Guo not only did not further develop the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but instead broke up the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and incorporated them into other battalions.

If it wasn't for a certain soil turtle that crossed illegally, Wei Guo's actions could not be wrongly calculated.

As long as the three fulcrums of Qishan, Xiangyang, and Hefei are not lost, Ji Han and Wu Guo can be firmly suppressed to the south.

At that time, Wei Guo will definitely be the first to restore its national strength.

The longer the time, the more the distance between the national power of Wei State and the two countries of Han and Wu can be widened.

This is called dignified general trend.

It's a pity that someone cheated on this plane.

In Feng Junhou's mind, he had long since concluded:

Even the state of Wei couldn't afford tiger and leopard cavalry, and was unable to restore people's livelihood until now, and the state of Wu, which had been making a lot of money, was even less likely to be able to support such gold-swallowing monsters as armored cavalry.

Of course, he would never say this in front of Qin Bo.

However, after hearing the real cost of the armored cavalry, Qin Bo's expression turned ugly, and he directly expressed Feng Junhou's thoughts:

"Then according to what Junhou said, wouldn't it be difficult for me, Great Wu, to support an armored cavalry army?"

Feng Junhou didn't care about Qin Bo's face, and even smiled indifferently:

"How can I answer the question of School Affairs Qin? What I said is just a guess."

"Whether Wu Guo can form a real armored cavalry army requires a lot of money and food in addition to the life of the soldiers."

"I don't care about the treasury of the State of Wu, whether this matter can be completed in the end..."

He looked at Qin Bo meaningfully, "Even if Principal Qin wants to ask my opinion, he must first tell me about the state of Wu's treasury, right?"

"I created the armored cavalry. No one in this world knows how to build an armored cavalry from scratch."

Having said that, he stopped and emphasized his tone:

"The premise is that you have to let me know how much money your Lord Wu plans to have to form the Iron Armored Cavalry?"

Qin Bo licked his lips, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and then said hesitantly:

"Junhou, for the past two years, the Xinghan Society has been saying that they want Jingzhou to grow more sugar cane..."

Feng Junhou heard the piano and knew the elegance, and smiled faintly.

It seems that I really have no money!

"School Qin, it will take a year to harvest the sugar cane. Besides, there is no preparation for this year in Jingzhou, right? It must be too late to plant this year."

"Plant next year, harvest at the end of next year, at least the next year to get the money, Lord Wu can wait?"

Qin Bo was stunned again.

"In this way, I have a plan to help Lord Wu," Feng Junhou leaned slightly towards Qin Bo, bewitching like a devil, "Maybe the Xinghan Society can borrow some money from the school affairs office."

Qin Bo couldn't believe his ears: "Borrow?"

Feng Junhou nodded affirmatively: "Yes, by borrowing, you can even advance part of the food in advance, but..."

He sat up straight again, picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and then spat out a tea stalk, and then said the following words:

"Of course, this is conditional and requires a small mortgage."

"Compared to the fact that the school affairs government helped Lord Wu accomplish this great event, a little condition and mortgage are not worth much at all. Does Qin school official think it?"

Among other things, just the last sentence directly hit the foundation of the school affairs office: the trust of the emperor.

Feng Langjun launched a stunt: clever words!

Qin Bo's defense was zero, and he took full damage immediately.

The specific manifestation is that the heart starts beating violently uncontrollably, and then the blood rushes straight to the forehead.
