Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 740: Heavy Gifts

Liu Yi came full of excitement, but finally returned full of questions and strategies.

As soon as he returned to the city, he went to the palace to find his father, but Liu Cong, who wanted to inquire about the Zhao family's army camp, missed him.

Liu Yuan also wanted to ask him about the situation in the Zhao Jiajun camp, but before he could speak, Liu Yi threw out Zhao Hanzhang's opinions and questions.

Liu Yuan instantly forgot about the Zhao Jiajun camp.

Zhao Hanzhang's words scratched the tip of his heart, and at the same time gave him another signal.

"Zhao Hanzhang said that the Jin Kingdom is in its twilight years. Does he want to choose another good master, or does he want to start a new business?" Liu Yuan was very excited and always felt that it was the first way, but the second way was also possible.

But no matter which one it is, this is his chance.

Liu Yuan's eyes were bright, and he was worried at the same time, "She is right. Although the Han Dynasty has only been established for four years, it is already very ill. If it is not cured, it will become difficult to cure in the long run, and it will follow the path of the Jin Dynasty."

Liu Yuan clenched his fists and sat on the dragon chair with deep thoughts, "But she is not my subject, otherwise, the Han Kingdom would have gained a little more vitality."

In the past two years, Liu Yuan felt that he was unable to do what he wanted. The five Xiongnu tribes violated the law, and he could not punish them severely, so he indulged in frustration.

Zhao Hanzhang's words rekindled the pride in his chest, and his cloudy eyes became clearer. He looked at Liu Yi, and his mood fluctuated again.

Liu Yi didn't notice the difference in his father's eyes, and was still entangled in his question, "Father, what you said about Han rule is also to distinguish superiority and inferiority based on class, not race? How to change it?"

Liu Yuandao: "Use Han ministers to govern the country. As long as there are enough Han ministers in the court, the current deviation path can be reversed."

But now, although there are Han ministers in the court, the majority are still Huns. The Han ministers, let alone the dominant ones, cannot even compete with the Huns.

Liu Yuan not only used Han ministers, but also guarded against them, but considering the current interests of the country, only by using Han ministers and Han rule could the country become stronger faster, and then destroy the Jin state and unify the world.

Unfortunately, except for a few people in the court who shared this consensus with him, everyone else in the court was very distrustful of the Han people and opposed Han rule. They acted unscrupulously, which caused many conflicts between the Xiongnu and other ethnic groups in the country.

Liu Yuan thought for a long time and decided to give it a try. What if he really won over Zhao Hanzhang?

He immediately asked someone to prepare a generous gift and send it to the Zhao Jiajun camp in the name of Liu Yi.

Zhao Hanzhang was opening the gifts sent by Liu Yi. Because she sent books, Liu Yi felt that he could not send vulgar things, so he sent some articles and books in return.

Gold has a price, but knowledge is priceless. Zhao Hanzhang really wants to know the strategies and ideas of the current Han monarchs and ministers in governing the country. She can't stand in the court to listen. In addition to the voices of the people, she can only read what the Han ministers compiled. books and articles written.

Zhao Hanzhang watched it with great interest and even lit an oil lamp for this purpose.

I stayed up until midnight and fell asleep holding the quilt in my arms. I continued to read at dawn the next day and didn't even practice shooting.

Then I received another gift from Pingyang City.

Zeng Yue led people to move the box to Zhao Hanzhang's tent, and asked Zhao Hanzhang to step aside. He opened it tentatively, but found no mechanism, and then opened it.

Inside are gold, silver, jewelry, jade, silk and satin.

Zeng Yue was stunned and couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did Liu Yi give it to you?"

"That's what the person who sent me said, but I see them in a humble position and are not the bodyguards around King Beihai, so I should be cautious."

Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward and grabbed a few strings of pearls. The pearls were round and about the same size. There were about eighty or ninety pearls in one pearl.

The pearls at this time were all produced by wild clams, and the yield was extremely low, so they were more valuable than gold.

She looked at the sun and saw that there were very few flaws and they were all top-grade pearls.

Just this box of gold, silver and jewelry is enough to feed her army of 100,000 people for half a month.

She clenched the pearl in her hand and said, "Isn't this a gift from Liu Yi? Didn't the person who gave the gift leave a message?"

"They said that the King of Beihai was convinced and knew that the governor was living a hard life here far away from Luoyang, so they sent gifts to comfort the governor. They also wanted to meet the governor, but their humble position did not dare to let them stay in the camp for longer, for fear that they would find something unusual, so they were bold Refused."

If you want to see Zhao Hanzhang, you have to come to the main tent. Even if you make arrangements, you will probably find the camp empty, so Zeng Yue refused.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and asked, "No letter?"

"No, I just said that as long as the governor is willing to be friends with the Han Dynasty, he will have all these things and enjoy them endlessly."

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but smile, "This is not what Liu Yi said. This gift was probably given by Liu Yuan, or by other ministers or princes of Han Dynasty."

Zeng Yue frowned, "Should I return the general to Pingyang City?"

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him when he heard this, "Why are you so obsessed with it? It's all money!"

Zeng Yue hesitated and said, "But they said that the governor was friends with them..."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "We are friends. I have wanted to make friends with them a long time ago. Otherwise, why would I bother to communicate with Liu Yi so much?"

This was a bit beyond Zeng Yue's cognition. His eyes widened in disbelief, "But, they are the Huns. Aren't we fighting them to the death?"

Zhao Hanzhang raised his chin slightly and said: "When they invaded our Sizhou and Yuzhou, they would naturally fight to the death, but during the truce, we have to be selectively hostile to some people and selectively unite some people. It is best to divide them from within. We Then unify them from the outside.”

Zeng Yue was stunned for a while, and when he heard the movement behind him, he quickly turned around to look at Fu Tinghan who was standing at the door, and asked humbly: "Da Langjun, do you understand?"

Fu Tinghan glanced at him lightly. Is this difficult to understand?

"You don't have to say it, I understand." He was stupid and didn't understand. He decided to write it down and go back to think about it carefully, "Then these things..."

"Put it away," Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand. Seeing Fu Tinghan, thinking of the empty inner treasury, he changed his voice and said: "Since it is given to me, then put it into my private treasury, listen to the load, listen to the load -"

Tinghe, who was outside the big tent, heard the call and immediately responded, trotted in and bowed to listen to the order.

Zhao Hanzhang pointed to the two boxes on the ground and said: "Enter the accounts and put them away."

Tinghe responded happily.

A clever woman can't make a living without rice. She is now in charge of Zhao Hanzhang's private treasury and accounting room, but there is no money in the accounting room. She is always tied up in doing things, for fear of having to sell things to maintain Zhao Hanzhang's living needs.

Tinghe took out the account book, took paper and pen, and started recording on the spot.

Fu Tinghan waited for them to finish speaking before handing the letter in his hand to Zhao Hanzhang and said: "Just sent, the news from Jizhou, as well as the letters from Yuncheng, Yuzhou and Luoyang."

A bunch of it.

Zhao Hanzhang took it, turned it over, found the letter from Jizhou, and sat cross-legged on the mat to read it.

Fu Tinghan sat opposite her and picked up a letter to open.

The two of them read the letter in silence. Zeng Yue looked at the two of them, then at Ting He who was busy, and finally retreated silently.

Good night
