Three Kingdoms: God Of War Lu Bu Starts Guarding Yanmen Pass

In Xuzhou, Cao Cao arranged for 100,000 troops to guard.

Led by Cao Ren. Plus several generals to assist.

Then he led the army back to Chongzhou.

After returning to Chongzhou. Cao Cao wanted to have his own cavalry more and more.

So the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was called.

"I intend to set up a cavalry unit. The number is 5,000. It's just that the Central Plains lacks high-quality war horses.

At present, only Xiliang has war horses. Bingzhou. Three places in Youzhou. Who do you think it would be better to ask to buy a war horse.

Cao Cao said something. Everyone fell into deep thought.

"My lord. I thought. Youzhou is not within the scope of choice. There is a Jizhou in the middle of Youzhou.

If we bought war horses from Youzhou. When passing Jizhou.

Then Yuan Shao will definitely not let him go easily. It is even possible to rob our war horses. "

When Cao Cao heard this, he also felt that Yuan Shao was not trustworthy.

"En. It does make sense. Yuan Shao is not a good person."

"I suggest buying with Bingzhou. Then Lu Bu killed many foreigners in Bingzhou.

Owns plenty of prairie pastures. There are many war horses in hand.

Moreover, Bingzhou has been focusing on business development over the years.

I think it is more cost-effective to ask Bingzhou to buy a war horse. "

"And that Luoyang is now controlled by Lu Bu's general Guan Yu. Join us.

If we buy war horses with Bingzhou. You can transfer directly from Luoyang.

This is also convenient. At the same time, you can also make friends with Lu Bu. "

Cao Cao listened to Cheng Yu's analysis. It also makes sense.

So I started writing letters. Send envoys to Bingzhou.

The prison is closed. Zhou Cang is patrolling the guards.

Suddenly, a group of people appeared below.

There is a Cao character on the tree flag. There is also a carriage.

A picture of a messenger.

After some introduction.

Zhou Cang knew that the visitor was Cheng Yu, Cao Cao's military adviser.

"General Zhou. I will go to Bingzhou to discuss important matters with General Lu under the order of Duke Cao. Please inform me."

"Sir, please wait a moment at the posthouse. I will send someone to inform the lord."

And when he entered Hulao Pass and other land boundaries. He couldn't believe it at all.

Luoyang after Dong Zhuo's fire. Now it is slowly coming back to life.

Large tracts of fertile land have been developed. All kinds of food and vegetables are available.

And the new city planning is very beautiful and clean. There are many businesses in various streets.

Business is booming. Zhou Cang sent troops. Go to Luoyang to meet Guan Yu.

After notifying Guan Yu. Guan Yu sent his lieutenant to escort him with 500 soldiers.

Prepare to cross the Yellow River to meet Lu Bu. And sent a flying eagle letter in advance to inform Lu Bu.

It was half a year ago that Flying Eagle passed on the letter. Found when defeating an alien tribe.

One of the foreign tribes has always had the skill of falconry.

So this tribe was included in the Bingzhou military.

Specialized in training eagles. to transmit messages.

A few days later. Cheng Yu arrived at the boundary of Bingzhou. along the way.

What Cheng Yu saw was a world completely different from the outside world.

And after crossing the Yellow River, you can see the appearance of Bingzhou. I can't believe it even more.

This is simply more prosperous than Luoyang before it was burned.

Big ships for various transportation on the pier. Merchants from all over the world came and went with a large amount of goods.

All ports are busy. Once on the pier is a clean road.

And that road is extremely hard. Later, I learned that it was called cement road after someone introduced it.

And he had never heard of cement.

on the main road. Pedestrians and carriages are separated. Every time the carriage goes to a place, a voucher is required.

Then you need to pay the toll to get to the next place. Pedestrians are not needed.

Every village I visited. They are all four-story buildings. Downstairs is a small warehouse for each family,

Usually used to store farm tools. Upstairs is housing. There are dozens of rooms on one floor.

Each family is allocated a house. And as long as you get married, you can apply for a house to live in.

You can also continue to live with your parents. Of course you need to pay rent.

Every household has fields to cultivate. If you don't want to farm.

There are also many (aedg) handicraft factories where you can work and make money. And Cheng Yu found out.

Bingzhou has a very large population. It is larger than the population of Xuzhou.

You must know that Xuzhou is a large state with a population of almost two million.

Bingzhou has been relatively barren since ancient times. How can there be so many people. It puzzled him a lot.

The most terrifying thing is that children in every village can go to school to study.

Even women are forced to study. This made him a child of a family unimaginable.

If Bingzhou's generation of students grows up. Then wouldn't the status of being an official in an aristocratic family be in danger?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

He couldn't take it any longer. Take out the book and write it down while walking.

He wants to record the changes in Bingzhou. Let Cao Cao go and have a look at that time.

After a few days' journey. Finally arrived at the governor's residence of Bingzhou.

"I have seen General Lu. This time I came here on the order of my lord Cao Cao.

Want to make a deal with the general. Here is a letter. Also ask the general to take a look. "

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he took out a letter from his clothes.

"Sit down, sir. Have a cup of hot tea."

The deputy general took Cheng Yu's letter and handed it to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu read it in two or three clicks.

It's nothing more than some rainbow bullshit Cao Cao said.

He also said that he would buy five thousand war horses.

"Mr. Cheng. Meng De and I are also considered comrades. At that time, there were more than a dozen princes in Hulao.

Only Meng De and Sun Jian dared to take the lead. I, Lu Bu, deeply feel the righteousness of the two.

These five thousand war horses are not a problem. Just according to the market price. Ready to take away. "

Cheng Yu listened. This is too easy.

Lu Bu is so easy to talk to.

This is five thousand war horses.

You won't use five thousand rubbish to perfuse us.

"That's it. Cheng Yu is here to thank the general on behalf of my lord. The general understands righteousness."

"Mr. Cheng. Does Meng De only need horses? We also have many weapons and armor that can be sold to Meng De. I don't know if you are interested."

Cheng Yu listened. Not too excited.

"Need. The general who needs it. It's just that I only brought the money to buy war horses this time.

For the rest, please report to the lord after I go back. Then make a decision. What do you think?"

"Well. You pick ten different sets of armor. Ten different weapons.

These twenty pieces are considered to be my gift to Meng De. When the time comes, go back and let you have a look. "

After the discussion. It is inconvenient for Lu to let his father-in-law take Cheng Yu to choose a war horse.

After arriving at the racecourse. Cheng Yu was frightened again.

A huge horse farm. There are tens of thousands of horses.

"Mr. Cheng, please. You can let people choose here. These are suitable high-grade war horses.

The price of 10,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan a horse is very cost-effective. Last time, Yuan Shao offered 20,000 yuan to buy it. My master did not agree to sell it to him.

"If you are not satisfied with the selection here, there are several other horse farms that you can choose. These few days. My lord ordered me to entertain you well."

"Mr. Yan is polite."

two days. Cheng Yu just picked out all the horses.

Then Yan He specially got the five thousand horses to a pasture.

It will be convenient for Cheng Yu to hand over when he returns.

"Mr. Yan. I see that this Bingzhou is very prosperous. Can you appreciate it?"

"Then I will be Mr. Cheng's guide."

After speaking, the two of them walked up the street with a few followers.

"Mr. Cheng, please take a look. The area we are in is called Qinglong District."

There are nine streets in each district. There are exactly one hundred shops in one street.

There is a door plate above each shop. look here. This is the shop at No. 18, First Street, Qinglong District.

Another white tiger. Xuanwu. Kirin. Suzaku. The same is true for several districts.

As for where the personnel live, they are all in the new urban area. Officials live in separate official areas.

Wealthy households can buy Xiaobieye on the other side. But the price is not cheap.

Ordinary families live in that kind of four or five-story buildings. There are dozens of houses on one floor.

Those houses need to be rented. Military households. petty official. Doctor. teacher. These people live first.

Some of them were replaced by old houses.”

Cheng Yu looked at such a plan.

Think again about the comparison between Chongzhou and Xuzhou. It's a hundred times the damage of a critical strike.

When walking past a bookstore. Cheng Yu couldn't bear it anymore.

I went in and picked up the book and read it.

It only costs 20 yuan to read a book. Some thinner ones cost only ten dollars.

This is too cheap. And there are actually all kinds of famous books here. There's even a ranking edition.

See the number one book. It has sold over a million copies.

"Mr. Yan. Is this ranking version real?"

Listen closely. Haha laughed.

"Mr. Cheng. This ranking is of course true. There are records of how many books are printed by the printing house.

Each one is taxable. There is no cheating. And the annotations of many famous artists have also sold a lot.

"Mr. Yan. I see that Bingzhou has a large number of academies. All children need to go to school. How to support such a high cost."

Yan He began to explain this.

"It is basically free to study in Bingzhou. And if you have excellent grades, you can get a scholarship every semester.

"Teachers' salaries are paid by the government. The colleges are built with official funds.

The bookstore in Bingzhou is officially operated. All the money earned will be invested here. So the official financial pressure is much smaller.

out of the bookstore. The two walked and said that they had come to the medicinal material wholesale market.

"Mr. Yan. Why are there so many medical centers here?"

Cheng Yu thought that every pharmacy here has a doctor.

"Mr. Cheng. This street is where medicinal materials are wholesaled. I believe there are many merchants in Chongzhou who come here to buy and sell.

As long as it is a good medicinal material. If you have stock. You can pull it over to the square.

Then let people choose. Deal at the right price. After the merchant takes back the goods.

Put it in your pharmacy. Then wait for those who need it to buy it. "

"There is no doctor in the pharmacy here. If you get sick, you need to go to a special hospital in each city of Bingzhou for treatment. It depends on the size of the city. Generally, there will be a large-scale hospital in a place with 50,000 people. Like Jinyang City Here. There are four hospitals. Currently, the fifth and sixth hospitals are being built outside the city.”

"Many people don't understand it. So aren't you afraid that they will sell counterfeit medicines? Or pass them off as substandard medicines?"

Cheng Yu asked inexplicably.

"There are only a hundred stores in the whole street. If someone opens a store here to sell fake goods.

Or shoddy. Anyone or the person next door to you can report you.

Just make sure it's true. Then the person who sells fake goods will go to jail.

And the property was confiscated. Those who report successfully can get official rewards.

Officials will take the store back. At that time, it will be auctioned and rented out.

Doing business here is very profitable. Isn't it good to do things with peace of mind?

How many people are staring at those pharmacy owners. Just wish they could make a mistake.

Selling fakes or refilling good ones. The shop will be vacant at that time. They have a chance.

Let's put it this way. If your home has a shop here. Just do business honestly. I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life. Future generations can also inherit the family business. keep doing it. A shop here earns a year's income. It is better than the income of thousands of acres of land a year for people from other regions. Simple and easy to manage. Who would do such stupid things. "

Then Cheng Yu visited the clothing wholesale street. And Bingzhou Plaza.

And Valhalla. Hospital. Academy. And then summarize the current development of Bingzhou.

The more I watched, the more frightened I became. I didn't expect my lord to pool the money to buy the war horse.

For Bingzhou, it's just a drop in the bucket. .
