Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Zhang and Yuan Shu made a thorough inspection around Yinping County, and even looked for a grass called yeast flower by the locals. What can I say, this grass looks inconspicuous at all, and the so-called yeast flower seems to be too. Not flowers.

"This thing doesn't seem to be a flower." Liu Zhang looked at the herbs he said were added to the sweet wine, and found that according to the plant classification he had learned about cookies, this thing didn't seem to be a flower, but something else. But that's not important.

As for why Liu Zhang learned the so-called plant classification from Cookie, that is another story. Anyway, sometimes when Cookie complains to Chen Xi, he will say that most people in the world look at him. At that time, what we saw was not his cookie, but the god he corresponded to. Only a few people regarded him as a human being.

What do Liu Zhang, Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, Gan Ning, and Ma Chao say? The good news is that these beasts do not worship him as a god. The bad news is that these evil beasts do not regard him as a human being.

That's why there are outrageous situations like extortion, cheating, and so on.

"Is this important?" Yuan Shu looked at the yeast flower in front of him very calmly. For him, it didn't matter whether it was a flower or not. What was important was the output and the amount added by the locals. Every flower spike of this thing shines with the light of money.

"Indeed, it's not important. Besides, there are indeed many wild ones. There is no need to cultivate them at all. The cost..." Liu Zhang had already excitedly started to calculate how much money he could make.

Then before he finished speaking, his face fell. The cost is nothing. In the case of Yinping County and Zitong County, you have to be able to send them out. Growing into the mountains is completely different from growing into the plains. Well, especially in the situation we are facing now, I just want to die.

"It's okay. Let's look into whether we can plant it in other places. We two brothers can find a place where we can plant it." Yuan Shu looked at these flower spikes. If they were in the plains, they would just use wild ones. , after all, there seems to be a lot of wild ones, and they are easy to pick.

The yield of yeast flowers is actually not too low. Even wild yeast flowers are completely sufficient for the production of beer in a normal workshop.

In other words, under normal logic, eating wild yeast flowers is enough, but who knows that the consumption of beer is really outrageous.

Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang thought that since these hops were in the plains, they could not grow them by themselves. It was completely nonsense. After the sales of this thing increased, even if there were many hops with normal yields in the wild, they would not be able to withstand it at all. Consumed.

The consumption of tens of liters per capita, multiplied by the overall population, probably everyone knows what kind of scale this is. This is why farmers in later generations basically grow their own hops. They don’t like to drink beer, but as long as it is not completely I refuse. If we still have normal social activities every year, we probably have to drink more than ten liters of beer...

What is a normal drink for everyone? This is it.

No matter how much other drinks develop, it is impossible to develop to such an outrageous level. There is always the logic of an audience and a peak sales season. Beer represents only an audience and a potential audience, as well as peak season, super peak season, and off-season? There is no off-season.

"Okay, we have completed the inspection now. The next question becomes, how can we fool Chen Zichuan to help build the viaduct here." Liu Zhang swept the tree stumps aside with his sleeves. It was just the beginning of spring in Yizhou. The stone platform in the north is still a bit cold. Even if he is now in his fat form, sitting on the cold stone will still be uncomfortable.

"Do you think the two of us can fool Chen Zichuan?" Yuan Shu looked at Liu Zhang with some doubts, "Can we fool him?"

"If Chen Zichuan is really interested, I don't think it will be possible for us to call all our men together. You can even bring together all the backbones of your Runan Yuan family. But Chen Zichuan has been in the position of We can just muddle along and won't pursue it too closely." Liu Zhang touched his double chin and said, "If it doesn't work, let's just say that we found some good things in Yinping County and Zitong County and want to get it out."

"That's right. Chen Zichuan's character will not specifically pursue these matters. After that, as long as we pay for it ourselves and just ask him to help borrow the construction team, it should be no problem. After all, the Han Dynasty's county access plan itself is Chen Zichuan himself Made it." Yuan Shu held his thighs with both hands and said with some thought.

These days, major aristocratic families and top bureaucrats no longer play tricks with Chen Xi, because they really can't play with them, especially when Chen Xi suddenly becomes serious. Even if he is a real boss, he will still be played to death, so when Now, this group of people mainly depends on whether they can take advantage of the situation.

As for direct confrontation, one of them will die miserably. It is really impossible to defeat them. The gap between the two sides is too nonsense.

"Every county understands this plan." Yuan Shu looked complicated. A series of jokes had already appeared in his mind - why Sima Lang was so happy when he was transferred to Zangzhou, and why Zhang Ji didn't want to be in Zangzhou now. Done, why don't the Qingqiang's vulture shooters study vulture shooting and start studying road construction? How can I say that all counties have access to this plan? It's really difficult to implement.

Although up to now, each county in the Han Dynasty actually has local entry and exit routes. In fact, Yinping County and Zitong County also have their own, but the roads here are really far from the standards set by Chen Xi. Si Ma The frame needs to be at least four in parallel.

Everyone knows what is going on here. Basically, you need to climb uphill and roll downhill. You can only say that there is such a thing as a road!

The plan to connect counties that Chen Xi has been promoting has been implemented very well in some states. It has even connected roads with villages in various places. But in the southwest, let alone merged with villages. Villages are connected together, and places like Zitong County and Yinping County are all connected.

"You can use this to sway Chen Zichuan. And if I remember correctly, Chen Zichuan originally had a plan to tour the West, but in the end it was delayed due to a series of things. But I estimate that Yuan Feng will definitely go to Liangzhou in the eleventh year at the latest. , Xinzhou, and then passed through Zangzhou and Yanbian into Yizhou for inspection." Yuan Shu's chubby cheeks showed a rare hint of majesty.

The original plan was to conduct a western tour in the seventh or eighth year of Yuanfeng. After all, just like the eastern tour, the layout of some things and industries, as well as the local social form and people's living standards need to be seen with one's own eyes to determine s things.

Even if you just take a quick tour and go there in person, seeing certain things with your own eyes will make people more at ease. After all, sitting in the temple all day long, studying local official documents and reports, although you can still see some things, but It's two different things than going to a place to do your own research.

There are some things that you have to see for yourself before you can make a decision.

The eastward inspection in the fifth year of Yuanfeng was itself an inspection based on this logic. In fact, before the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Chen Xi had already visited Jizhou and Youzhou. That is to say, in addition to Liangzhou, Xinzhou, and Xinzhou in the northwest, Chen Xi at least went to Yizhou, Zangzhou and other prefectures and counties in the southwest to conduct research. Even if he didn't stay in each prefecture for a long time, he still had his own understanding.

Therefore, when the annual meeting of the sixth year of Yuanfeng was held, Chen Xi said that he would conduct a follow-up tour to the west to inspect the work of the remaining four major states. He hoped that the local officials would do what they should do well before he went. Six years after Yuan Feng, there were so many things going on that Chen Xi never mentioned the Western Inspection. However, Yuan Shu knew Chen Xi's style. He was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Whatever he made up his mind would be done sooner or later, and it was impossible for anyone. Can stop it.

Judging from the current situation, in the tenth year of Yuanfeng, it is unlikely that Chen Xi will come to inspect the west. However, in the eleventh year of Yuanfeng, as long as there is no big trouble, it is very possible for Chen Xi to lead a team to Yizhou for inspection.

At this point in time, when it comes to the issue of connecting counties in the Yizhou area, Chen Xi may not be biased, especially if Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang are willing to pay, the probability of this happening is not low.

"So the next thing to do is to show that we have money, and then we will build roads here. I hope Chen Zichuan will give us some support from the planning level of all counties." Liu Zhang is not completely stupid. , especially after traveling around the country and doing some practical things, I also have my own understanding of the implementation of national policies and plans.

After all, these things cannot be learned by studying. Instead, if you are not afraid of making mistakes, you will know what you need to know by wandering back and forth a dozen times. The only disadvantage is probably that in the process of wandering a dozen times, something will appear. Normal people really can't bear the mistakes.

"Well, we can only use this to defeat Chen Zichuan. Other methods are unrealistic. It doesn't make any sense to be tough with him. We can't stand up to his legal principles, wisdom, and righteousness, but if we talk to him well, we should It is useful, our face should still be of some use, right?" When Yuan Shu said this, he held up his double chin and began to calculate how much face he still had.

"It's strong in all directions and has no blind spots. It's really a headache." Liu Zhang sighed, and then smiled, "It's precisely because it's strong in all directions and has no blind spots that we won't worry about anyone messing around."

"Humph, messing around, damn it, if it weren't for Chen Zichuan, the two of us would be the ones messing around with others. Do you believe what the rules and regulations are?" Yuan Shu looked at Liu Zhang and sneered. Do you really think they are two good people? Cannibalism, they would eat it under different circumstances, but this era has a new development logic, so they don't have to be so bloody and cruel.

"I didn't believe it before." Liu Zhang nodded and said.

"I have to believe it now." Yuan Shu sighed and said, is he the kind of person who follows the rules? He wasn't, but now he is, because if he follows the rules, he can walk faster and more steadily, and there will be people to protect him, so why doesn't he follow the rules?

"That Zhang Ziqiao of yours, ask him to polish an official document for us, and submit it in our names. It will hurt Chen Zichuan." Yuan Shu turned to Liu Zhang and told him, as for Yuan Shu's own ministers, forget it, they are all Not as good as Zhang Song.

"No problem, I'll let Zi Qiao do his part and focus on the mastery of each county." Liu Zhang instantly understood Yuan Shu's thinking and said that he would take care of this matter.

"Then there's the issue of money. Forget it, it's not a problem. You can just go and blackmail your clan brothers." Yuan Shu continued to make arrangements for Liu Zhang.

There is no way to impress Chen Xi and show that as long as the construction team is in place, there is no need to consider other things at all. Then the money needed is not what it is now. After all, if they only carry out construction and large-scale construction, then They are two different things. The latter is very expensive, but the latter is the efficiency that civil servants should have, and the former is just a waste of money.

"Then I'll go find my clan brothers." Liu Zhang was not angry because of Yuan Shu's almost instructive attitude. The two of them have been each other's fathers for a long time, and they are somewhat used to it. They may be more careful in front of others. After all, the Lord Insulting ministers to death, these two men have some loyal soldiers with stubborn tempers under their command. If they really humiliate each other, the soldiers below will probably risk their lives.

But when there are only these two guys, it doesn't matter. It's just a humiliation. You humiliate me, and I humiliate you too. Dad didn't lose anyway.

"Borrow more, I haven't had enough money recently." Yuan Shu added, anyway, he has no money, unless he speaks to the Wen family, but as an elder speaking to a woman, it is better to forget it, so the next step is to see Liu Zhang The performance is good, and there is no hope for anything else.

"No problem, no problem." Liu Zhang waved his hand. It was just a loan, and it was used to develop local people's livelihood. Of course, there was no need to pay it back. Is this morally kidnapping their old uncle Liu Yu, who has the highest moral level in the Liu family? This is the best moral kidnapping target. Besides, the old uncle is really rich. How about just secretly taking away the other person's money, taking it here to build the road, and building a stone sculpture for the other person to squat at the intersection. This is not complete. No need to waste words, plus it solves all the problems.

After all, Liu Yu only saves money and doesn’t use money!

"What are you thinking about?" Yuan Shu looked at Liu Zhang's eyes and asked strangely. If I remember correctly, Liu Zhang would only look like this when he had evil intentions. Thinking about this, Yuan Shu was frightened. He quickly reached out and touched his Gungun Beast. Without Ji Ling, only the Gungun Beast could bring him a sense of security in this cold society.

"I was thinking, why don't we defraud my uncle." Liu Zhang said with some temptation.

Question marks ran through Yuan Shu's mind. What's the situation? You directly defrauded him. Damn it, that's too much. But when he thought about it, it did make him feel that compared to borrowing money, it was easier to defraud him directly.

"Are you talking about Duke Bo'an?" Yuan Shu had strange thoughts in his mind, but if he lowered his head and thought about it carefully, what Liu Zhang said actually made sense. Liu Yu was very rich, very rich, and the people of Wuwan worked hard. They built a ranch in the northeast to make money for Liu Yu.

In addition, Liu Yu is still a landlord and an old man who is behind the trend of the times. That is to say, most of the money Liu Yu has on hand is not spent but saved. That is a large amount of cash. There is nothing better than cash. It's more reassuring.

Compared with the normal form of explaining that one has money, it is more exciting to directly take out several hundred million and pile them there. This is the charm of cash, and Liu Yu is such a wealthy landlord.

"Yes, my old uncle has a lot of money, and he doesn't spend much money. At most, his family is a little extravagant, but it doesn't cost much." Liu Zhang said with bright eyes, "After so many years Come down, if I remember correctly, it seems that when Gongsun Bogui's son went to Central Asia, my old uncle asked his son to bring hundreds of millions of money with him."

"That is to say, he still has a lot of money now." Yuan Shu said with bright eyes. He had no moral pressure on this kind of thing. After all, as Yuan Shu who defrauded the old people of the Yuan family in Runan of their pension money, There was no pressure to defraud Liu Yu of his pension money. Besides, even Li You had offended him before, so he didn't care about offending another one. What's more, Liu Zhang was the one taking the lead this time.

In fact, Liu Zhang also learned this from Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu defrauded all the living expenses of the old Yuan family in the Central Plains, and then used this to build roads, which shocked Liu Zhang greatly.

Liu Zhang also asked Yuan Shu at that time, how can these people live after you defrauded his old man out of his pension money? Yuan Shu calmly said that he only defrauded the old man of the Yuan family in Runan, and he only defrauded the money. The old men just have no money, but they are respected by the people of Yuzhou. I have erected a monument specifically to name the donors, and they are all old people from the Yuan family.

At that time, Liu Zhang was shocked and asked Yuan Shu. He said yes, what should you do if your old people have no money? This is not a small sum of money. Yuan Shu's answer at the time was that these old people have brothers from the Yuan family in Chen County, because As long as the old man is two generations older than Yuan Shu, he is still very familiar with the cousins ​​of the Yuan family in Chen County, so he can work with the Yuan family in Chen County.

As for whether you need something like face, damn it, the Yuan family of Chen County is short of food money for you and a bunch of old men. They are not short of food, only I, Yuan Shu, am short of food.

So seven years after Yuanfeng, most of the old men of the Yuan family moved to the Yuan family in Chen County. Although it solved the problem of the influence of the Yuan family in Runan on the local area to a certain extent, the operation was too outrageous. Yuan Shu still doesn't dare to go back to Yuan's hometown.

After all, there are some things that even if you know you are doing the right thing and the other person knows that you are doing the right thing, if you actually do it, you will cause a lot of trouble.

Anyway, Yuan Shu has been determined not to return to the Yuan family in Runan these years or to meet those old men. In the past, when he went back, he could only kowtow for a long time. Now, in addition to kowtowing, he might also get beaten. Kowtowing is acceptable. This is for the old man. They respect you, but you can’t do it without being beaten!
