Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 1109

Chapter 1109 I said it was a coincidence, do you believe it?

Why do people read more books?

Because predecessors have written the principles and insights of life in books.

That is to say, you can get the experience and lessons that the predecessors only got by taking a detour, you can get it through reading, and you don't have to go through it yourself.

For example, Confucius said: A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit.

It seems to be talking about the difference between a gentleman and a villain, but it is actually teaching future generations the principles of life.

When getting along with a gentleman, we should talk more about righteousness.

When talking to villains, talk more.

Especially for a real-tempered villain like Qin Bo, Feng Junhou hit him with a lot of money, and he was smashed on the spot regardless of east, west, north, and south.

When he walked out of Zhendong General's Mansion, Qin Bo was still a little dizzy.

Before coming here, the school affairs office was actually quite worried about this trip.

the reason is simple.

Matters in the military, not the director of the school office.

rashly meddling in the procurement of the military, if one is not good, it will not only cut off people's money, but also something will go wrong in the future.

For example, if someone loses a battle, those military leaders, in order to shirk their responsibility, they will push it to the head of the school administration.

The school affairs office doesn't have any cronies in the army, and they don't know anything about the military.

That's why Wu Zhongshu prepared a big bargaining chip in advance when he came here this time, just to impress Feng Junhou.

Never thought about it, Feng Junhou was sincere to others, but after hearing what the school government asked, he gave two solutions on the spot.

One is the method of leasing.

Da Wu sent people to learn the method of riding and fighting, which certainly solved the problem of the leader.

But the formation of cavalry, especially the weapons and armor used by armored cavalry, cannot be produced overnight.

The war horses in the army cannot be cultivated in a year or a half.

It has to be piled up with real gold and silver, it has to be fed with countless money and food, and it has to be piled up and fed continuously for a long time.

Time-consuming, labor-intensive, money-consuming, food-consuming.

Feng Junhou felt this, and in order to help Wu Neng form an army as soon as possible, and together with the big Han to fight against Wei thieves, he was willing to rent horses, armor and weapons.

At that time, Da Wu only needs to send out people, with a little training, and then led by someone who has learned the method of riding and fighting, he will be able to form an army immediately.

Save time, effort, money and food.

For the school affairs office, these armors and weapons were supplied by the Han Dynasty, and the school affairs office just changed hands.

Those military leaders really wanted to be capable, so they went to ask the Han State for accountability—the Han State repeatedly defeated the Wei thieves, but you were defeated with the same weapons. Why do you blame the weapons?

The second is installment loan.

As Feng Junhou said, the world has been in war for a long time, and all places are suffering. At that time, seven out of ten Wei countries in the world could not maintain tiger and leopard riding.

How did Wu Guo have enough money and food to form an armored cavalry army?

But if there is no armored cavalry army, how can we fight against the fine cavalry of Wei State in the plains of Jianghuai, take Hefei, and fulfill Sun Dadi's wish?

Therefore, Feng Junhou was willing to come forward to guarantee that for the sake of the oath between the two countries, the Xinghan Society would lend a sum of money and food to the school affairs office every year, and return it in installments after five years.

Of course, this is to take care of Sun Dadi's face.

After all, one of the most important responsibilities of the school affairs office now is to make money for Emperor Sun.

Xinghan Club happened to have some spare money.

Most of this money must flow into Emperor Sun's treasury.

As for the small part...that's normal wear and tear.

The combination of these two methods will not only help Wu to form a powerful cavalry army in the shortest time, but also reduce Wu's financial burden.

After hearing these two methods, even though Qin Bo came out of the house, his mind was still immersed in shock.

The Han Dynasty has such great talents as Feng Junhou, no wonder it can be prosperous.

Thinking about it again, if the school office can facilitate this matter and help His Majesty go north to eliminate the thieves and take Hefei, that would be a great achievement.

Qin Bo's heart couldn't help beating faster again.

The only thing to worry about is that no matter whether it is a lease or a loan, Da Wu must be mortgaged.

After all, how can there be any benefit in the world?

And it is such a great benefit.

Shipbuilding is just one of them.

It is only a trivial matter for Dawu to send a group of shipbuilders to Han.

Jingzhou must meet the Xinghan Association's requirements for the quantity of raw sugar within three years... This seems to be a key point.

But it happened to coincide with the bargaining chip in the hands of the school affairs office.

As for the specific amount of jaggery, Feng Junhou never cared about such details, and will discuss it with Xinghanhui later.

There is also a checkpoint between Han and Wu. In the future, no vehicle and boat tax will be collected from Han caravans traveling between the two countries.

According to Feng Junhou's intention, this is to use the vehicle and boat tax paid by the Han caravan in Dawu as collateral.

Especially for the caravans of the Xinghan Association, if someone is in trouble in the territory of Wu State, the school affairs office must come forward to help.

In the past, it was tacit understanding. If this matter can be facilitated in the future, then the school affairs office will be able to stand uprightly.

Feng Junhou seems to attach more importance to the mortgage business tax, but it is also a good thing for the school administration.

As long as the cooperation with the Xinghan Association can be put on the bright side, then His Majesty will only pay more and more attention to the school affairs office.

The last item, that is, in the territory of Dawu, the notes of the Xinghanhui must be recognized and allowed to circulate among the people.

This is even more indifferent.

Wouldn't the government admit that those big families would not use the notes that circulated from Shu?

In fact, as long as there is material exchange between the Han and Wu countries, tickets are the best choice—who made Da Wu need things from the Han?

As long as the Han state recognizes these notes, they can get good things in exchange.

If one day the two countries cut off contact, these notes will become waste paper in the territory of Dawu. Who would want to use them?

School Qin went all the way and thought about it all the way, and suddenly he sighed in his heart:

"It's really a blessing that the school office can get to know Feng Junhou, such a bold person!"

"For so many years, Feng Junhou has been helping me Da Wu, he is really an old friend of Da Wu!"

Not to mention the school affairs of Qin sighed all the way, in General Zhendong's mansion, after he left, two people walked out from behind the screen in the living room.

It was General Guan and Zhang Xiaosi.

"Ah Lang is really generous. He not only wants to send money and food to Wu, but also horses and weapons!"

Zhang Xiaosi, who had talked about this topic with Feng Junhou yesterday, only halfway through the conversation, and went to climb the mountain together with Feng Junhou.

The two of them were playing in the mountains and rivers on the couch. They were so excited that they forgot to continue talking about this topic in the end.

Today I heard that Feng Junhou made his own proposal, promising such great benefits to the people of Wu.

Rao is that no matter how hard Zhang Xiaosi refuses to give in to her, but the limitations of the times, how can she see through the vicious means of economic and financial wars of later generations?

"It's a lease, not a gift." The old **** Feng Junhou sat on the ground and emphasized to the two wives, "Lease and free gift are different."

"What's the difference? So these horses, weapons, armor, money and food are in the hands of the Wu people. Could it be that Alang still expects them to return them?"

General Guan and Zhang Xiaosi sat around Feng Junhou respectively, and they agreed with what Zhang Xiaosi said.

If it wasn't for many years of husband and wife, knowing Feng Junhou's character well, if he was replaced by the violent iceberg beauty before, he would have to draw a knife and torture him if he couldn't say it. Ask if this person is a traitor sent by Wu Guo.

Feng Junhou heard what Zhang Xiaosi said, but he smiled:

"I'm not a fool, why don't I know that if these things fall into their hands, there is absolutely no reason to return them?"

"So didn't I propose to let them mortgage?"

Zhang Xiaosi still has doubts:

"Even if there is a mortgage, you can get back the money in the future, but after all, it will help the Wu people grow stronger."

Feng Junhou couldn't help laughing out loud anymore:

"When I do business, when do I need to pay back my capital? What I want to see is the ten-fold and hundred-fold dividend."

"How can there be a ten-fold and a hundred-fold bonus?"

"Controlling Jingzhou, and even controlling the lifeline of Wu State, isn't it a ten-fold and a hundred-fold bonus?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaosi smiled happily: "I'm just waiting for your words, why don't you tell us quickly?"

She had no doubts about Feng Junhou's real purpose, at least she knew about controlling Jingzhou's food supply a long time ago.

But hearing that Feng Junhou was no longer satisfied with this, she was both surprised and delighted.

Feng Junhou looked at the two virtuous wives sitting on his left and right, and then pointed to the north triumphantly:

"Bingzhou was brought down by Sanniang, and the right to smelt iron in Bingzhou was taken down by Siniang with her help (Note: Bingzhou also includes Jiuyuan's old place)."

"In the future, the ironware produced in Bingzhou will definitely be much stronger than those produced by Hanzhong Metallurgical Metallurgy."

Even if the quality does not improve much, the standard will be more uniform, and the output will be a leap forward.

In fact, if anthracite can be found in Bingzhou, the quality of ironware will definitely be greatly improved.

It is not a dream that every member of the Han army has a magic weapon.

"So after the first battle in Guanzhong, the military equipment of the big man may have to be replaced again."

If it is said that before the prime minister's Northern Expedition to Longyou, the mainstream weapons in the Han army had no dual system with that of Wei and Wu, and it could be regarded as the first generation.

After obtaining Longyou, the team headed by Amei used the Hanyang manufacturing standard formulated by the Hanyang Manufacturing Bureau, and then delivered the armor weapons manufactured in batches by Hanzhong Metallurgy, which is considered the second generation.

The second-generation weapons are forged with advanced technologies such as large blowers, coking coal, and hydraulic power, and their quality is much better than that of Wei and Wu weapons.

But it also has its downsides.

That is, although the standard was formulated early, this standard is designed on the basis of the first generation, with the limitations of the first generation.

The most important thing is that various adjustments need to be made continuously through actual combat.

Taking the current Modao Camp as an example, the weapon configuration is more rational than that of the Jieting Battle.

The earliest second-generation weapons are quite different from the second-generation weapons that have changed in recent years.

The repeated battles in these years have accumulated a thick pile of experience for the team led by Amei.

The conditions for formulating the third-generation weapon standards have gradually matured.

Obviously, after replacing the third-generation weapons, it was to compete with Wei Guo for the Central Plains and Hebei.

"When the time comes, the weapons eliminated in the army can't all be used to make farm tools?"

Farm tools do not have that high requirement for iron, so it would be a waste to use all of them to make weapons.

Certainly, it cannot flow into the hands of barbarians on a large scale like the elimination of the first generation of weapons.

The most, the most, that is, to match Yicong Huqi with some more.

"So it's better to lend it to the State of Wu to lure Sun Quan and keep him from falling to the State of Wei as much as possible."

Still the same sentence, even if Sun Quan is thinking about backstabbing now, does he really dare to open the hell-level copy of "Down with Yong'an"?

Then it is better to open Hefei and Xiangyang dungeons with two difficulty levels.

Especially with the Puppet Armored Cavalry Army, Sun Dadi, who believes that he is strong enough to fight against Wei Guojing cavalry, how can he be reconciled if he doesn't try to realize the dream of Hefei?

Anyway, Feng Junhou was changed, he would definitely not be reconciled.

Using himself to judge others, Feng Junhou believes that Sun Dadi, who has never forgotten Hefei, will only be more unwilling.

This is the human heart and human nature.

Luring Sun Dadi and Wei Guo to continue bloodletting under the city of Hefei—whether it is Wu Guo's blood or Wei Guo's blood—is only good for the big man, and there is no harm.

"As for the second thing," Feng Junhou chuckled, "As the saying goes, building is worse than buying, and buying is worse than renting. Most people in the world think that it is easy to escape."

"How can it be so easy to build an armored cavalry army? Wu needs to start everything from scratch, and it is even more difficult."

It took Feng Junhou more than ten years to establish a Dahan workshop that doesn't even count as the weakest industrial foundation.

Wu Guo wants to start from scratch, how easy is it?

"If you can buy it, it must be more convenient to buy, save worry, effort and time."

“If you don't even have the money to buy it, but you still want it, then you can only rent it.”

This is also human heart and human nature.

"It's just that whether it's renting or buying, on the surface, it is indeed a temporary convenience and an advantage."

"But as time goes on, you will become more and more dependent on others, and in the end you will only be controlled by others."

"One day, the two countries will turn against each other, and the big man will no longer provide Wu with these things. How can Wu be built in a hurry?"

You can't say to the big man, wait, give me a few more years, let me find a way to build a batch of weapons that have never been made before, right?

The initial price reduction, or even making money at a loss, is to cultivate the consumption habits of users, only for the future monopoly position, and even control the lifeline.

After explaining all this, Feng Junhou looked left at General Guan and right at Secretary Zhang, and said with a smile:

"How? Is my strategy for the country considered appropriate?"

It doesn't matter if there are loopholes, anyway, it's not him who makes the final decision.

Isn't there another emperor in Hanzhong?

At that time, A Dou hums a few words, indicating that something is wrong here, let's discuss it again, isn't that all right?

How do you say that?

Send you to death, and I will take the blame?

Now Feng Junhou said: I have done all the work, as a brother-in-law, what's wrong with you being a scapegoat?

After listening to Feng Junhou's talk about his plan, the two regular wives of the Feng family remained silent for a long time.

General Guan subconsciously remembered his family Alang's plan for Youzhou when he was in Bingzhou.

At that time, Zhidao was considered a rare poisonous scheme.

Never thought that hearing the plan for the Wu country now would refresh her knowledge once again.

But seeing General Guan couldn't help blurting out:

"The concubine said that it was a far-sighted plan to kill Ma Yuan in Youzhou. I didn't expect that it wasn't long before Alang came up with an even worse plan!"

"The concubine still underestimated A Lang. Compared with this plan, the barbarian is not the number one in Hanzhong..."

Feng Junhou, who was waiting for his two wives to praise him, turned dark when he heard this!

Zhang Xiaosi pondered for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands:

"Sister is right! I think back then, Alang got a lot of benefits from the plan of relocating to Hanzhong. From my point of view, this time, I'm afraid he wants to repeat the same plan again."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Feng Junhou categorically denied, "I am making suggestions for the country. If you are one or two, you can't have good things to say!"

Zhang Xiaosi imitated Feng Junhou and raised his head and laughed:

"Your Majesty, there is still something incomplete about your plan, don't you think I don't know?"

Feng Junhou squinted, displeased.

Zhang Xiaosi did not show any weakness, gritted his teeth, and said bitterly:

"Xinghanhui won the right to smelt iron in Bingzhou, and just found a lot of coal in Bingzhou. You immediately proposed this plan."

"Now that Guanzhong is exhausted, even if the emperor moves the capital, the imperial court will spend at least two or three years to resume production in Guanzhong. How can there be extra time to make so many ironware?"

"If you really want to find iron ore in Bingzhou, who else can the imperial court buy iron from Xinghanhui?"

Zhang Xiaosi said, the more he felt that this person had been planning this day for a long time!

The big man wants to eliminate the old weapons in the army, and sell a batch of armor weapons used by the armored cavalry to the state of Wu. How much iron will it use?

Only relying on Hanzhong Metallurgy, when will it be built?

Counting from the battle of Longyou, it may not be accurate to say that it took ten years to replace the weapons in the Han's own army, but there should be some in six or seven years.

If you want to plan against Wu now, how can you wait so long?

Not to mention winning Bingzhou and Guanzhong, the big man will definitely expand his army, how much iron will be needed to make new weapons? Plus Wu Guo... I can't even imagine it!

This link is intertwined with each other, and there is no leakage. If it is not planned by someone, ghosts will not believe it!

"No, you must know that there is an iron mine in Bingzhou, maybe you have found it, but you have been hiding it from me, haven't you?"

Feng Junhou blushed suddenly and argued:

"Nonsense! How can you defile people's innocence out of thin air?!"

"You are innocent!" Zhang Xiaosi heard this, and then looked at this person's face, and he understood it completely.

She couldn't hold back her anger, and in front of General Guan, she threw herself on him and scratched him:

"Even my concubine is cheated! My concubine saw that Xinghan would give up the land in Guanzhong, and I felt guilty for so long! Lie! You can lie to me!"

"You actually asked my concubine to help you ask the palace for the right to smelt iron in Bingzhou! Do you have a conscience, do you have a conscience! Thank you for being able to do it! I hate it!"

"Ghost king! You really are a ghost king! You can't believe a single word of nonsense!"

The more you talk, the more angry you get, so you just bite your mouth.

"No, no, really no, how can there be any iron ore, nothing!"

Feng Junhou screamed and begged for mercy.

Just when General Guan couldn't see it and was about to stop it, there was a knock on the door.

"who?"

Amei's voice came: "Mr., it's me."

Feng Junhou is like hearing fairy music, he is indeed my good concubine, who knows the savior at critical moments.

"Come in and talk!"

Amei with a happy face pushed the door in. Before she could see the situation inside the house, she couldn't wait to say:

"Ah Lang, there is good news from Taiyuan, iron ore has been found! It's a big iron mine! It's made of explosives..."

Before she finished speaking, she swallowed her words.

Because she seems to have seen a scene that should not be seen.

Nanjun's face had turned pale, he lowered his head, and said to Mrs. Zhang:

"Si Niang, would you believe me if I said it was a coincidence?"

Ms. Zhang, who was lying in the man's arms, raised her head and heard what she said, suddenly opened her mouth again, lowered her head and bit down hard!

"ah!"

Feng Junhou's tragic cry resounded in General Zhendong's mansion.
