Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 639

Lan Tian looked around vigilantly and found that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and asked, "What happened?"

"Cao thief defeated Nanyang in the first month. He should have retreated to Xudu or returned to Yecheng, but he went all the way north to Luoyang. It's really strange." Song Chen was puzzled.

After hearing this, Lan Tian was shocked, because Guan Yu had changed his life against the sky, and he thought that Cao Cao's lifespan would also change, but he went to Luoyang, the end of his life.

"Any details?" Lan Tian asked.

Song Chen shook his head lightly: "Fancheng has just experienced a great battle, and it is not easy to get news back so quickly."

"You're right, I've only been back for two days." Lan Tian felt relieved.

The waiter in the shop was looking around in his own three-acre area, and found that there was an extra person at Lantian's table, so he immediately came over to greet him and asked, "Do you have a new customer? Do you want more shabu-shabu?"

"Order the same serving." Lan Tian nodded while pointing at the shabu-shabu.

"Okay." The waiter yelled, flicking the rag on his wrist to his shoulder and floating it away.

Gao Yuan chewed the fish wrapped in sauce, with an incredulous expression on his face, he murmured: "This dipping sauce is similar to the one prepared by Mr., and the taste and texture are exactly the same. I don't know the origin of this restaurant."

Song Chen stroked his fake beard and said in a low voice: "I secretly checked the identity of the shopkeeper. He was a seriously wounded soldier from the fallen army in the Battle of Changsha. He left the barracks because he was physically disabled and couldn't go to Lu Tie's lecture hall to teach. The pension fund opened this restaurant to make a living, and we came to frequent it after we found out, so we met Mr.

"It turned out to be like this. He has a pretty good mind and knows how to use his skills to make money." Gao Yuan smiled slightly.

After hearing this, Lan Tian's expression was solemn. He hurriedly told the two of them, "Let's talk less, and go to the chamber of commerce after dinner."

"Only good."

Gao Yuan almost clasped his fist reflexively, but swallowed it back under Lan Tian's gaze.

So the three of them did not speak and concentrated on eating, only the sound of chewing food and drinking soup was heard, which was in contrast to the lively scene in the hall.

After the meal, he walked out of the Yanji shabu-shabu, Gao Yuan turned around and wrote down the plaque, and said solemnly: "I will go back and tell Lao Lu and the others that if I have more money, I will come here to support more."

"Exactly." Song Chen nodded in agreement.

After hearing this, Lan Tian didn't talk to him, and followed Song Chen through the streets and alleys with no expression on his face, and soon came to the residence of the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce. From the outside, it looked ordinary, no different from ordinary commercial firms, but after entering, he suddenly became enlightened.

Song Chen opened two secret doors, led Lan Tian to a small study room, then quickly returned to the room to remove his disguise, and served tea soup and wine in his true colors.

"After the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce was fully completed, this is the first time for Mr. to come here." Song Chen stood aside, looking very restrained.

Lan Tian waved his hand to signal the other party to sit down, "It seems that you have understood what I said, scattered the people in the chamber of commerce to the common people, hidden in the corners of life, can understand the thoughts of all walks of life, and especially can detect those foreign secret operations, what do you do? Very good, keep it up."

"Well, in fact, this city, in addition to Jiangdong and the north, there are also gentry children from Jingzhou, Yizhou and other places. They are also paying attention to Mr. Think of a way." Song Chen clasped his fists and replied.

"If you have ideas worth encouraging, I'll listen to them." Lan Tian sat up straight.

"The city you built is too big. For the prosperity of Guangzhou's trade, you have given the people a high degree of freedom, but as more and more foreigners come in, there are more and more places for secret workers to hide, and the Chamber of Commerce is stretched. .”

Song Chen paused for a moment. He wanted to know Lantian's reaction. Because the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce had a large authority, and the expenditure of the Chamber of Commerce also accounted for a relatively high proportion of each government office, Jiang Wan repeatedly questioned him about this, and now he wanted to increase the manpower. , worried that Lan Tian would not understand.

Lan Tian was very calm after hearing what surprised Song Chen, and motioned him to continue talking.

"The general thinks that it is possible to recruit people from all walks of life. They can be hawkers, academy professors, vegetable farmers, craftsmen, and even officials. The more ordinary they are, the more concealed they are, and they can learn more useful information. Let those There is nowhere for the unruly to hide." Song Chen replied solemnly.

Before Lan Tian could answer, Gao Yuan followed up and questioned: "It's nothing like hawkers and vegetable farmers. Academy teachers and officials all have salaries. Let them follow the chamber of commerce for nothing, or should they receive an extra salary?"

"Uh, I haven't figured it out yet, it depends on what the master thinks." Song Chen stared at Lan Tian with big eyes.

Lan Tian frowned and said: "It's right to receive double salaries. After all, they are the eyes of the state government. Your idea is very good. In this way, you can not only accurately grasp the villains and their movements, but also monitor the officials, understand the people's livelihood, and understand the needs of the people. If you want to do it, you have to do it well.”

"The expenses of the chamber of commerce are left to Jiang not to drive there."

"I personally went to Gongyan to say that although it is right to be diligent and thrifty in running a family, some money cannot be saved. Instead of living a life of digging and digging, it is better for us to govern well, so that the place is safe, the politics is clean, the officials are clean, and the people are prosperous. Wouldn’t it be better to have it in the field, in the pot, in the bowl, and in the barn?”

Song Chen bowed and said: "It's better to think far ahead, my original intention is to supervise the detailed work."

"Actually, there is no conflict between monitoring and understanding people's voices. The Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce can be divided into two parts. One part is mainly for monitoring and reporting the safety of the state and counties, and the other is dedicated to understanding people's voices." Lan Tian nodded.

"Sir, are you being too cautious? With your economics and talents, the common people will live a good life sooner or later. Besides, there are Changjiang Daily and Lingnan Daily to attract people to do good. There is no need to worry about those trivial things, right? You want Helping the Han family for King Kuang of Hanzhong, I also said that I can't do everything myself." Gao Yuan kindly reminded.

Lan Tian shook his head lightly: "Some things must first form rules. If there are rules, you can naturally set the radius. Those officials from the gentry family have been living without worrying about food and clothing since they were young. He sits in the yamen every day and is busy with official duties. How can he know the sufferings of the people? ?

If you meet capable subordinates, you can still listen to the voices of the people in front of you; The Yellow Turban Rebellion. "

"Will it be so serious? In the three counties of Cangwu, Nanhai, and Yulin, sir, didn't you use a lot of children from Qianshou as officials? They should be grateful for their poor backgrounds?" Gao Yuan asked.

Lan Tian continued: "One generation of Guishou, two generations of officials, and three generations of officials, there are always smart people who can stand out. In addition, power is easy to corrupt. Keep improving the rules, let the rules trap the despicable human nature."

"The last general will be taught." Gao Yuan seemed to understand, but he was still shocked.
