Han Shimou

Cao Cao respected and loved Pan Feng very much, but he insisted on treating him with gentle means. Since Pan Feng arrived in Luoyang, Cao Cao treated him very well, with a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days.All kinds of means emerge one after another.A few days later, ten beauties were sent to serve Pan Feng.Pan Fengjin was sent to the inner house and ordered to serve the second sister-in-law.

Another day, Cao Cao saw that Pan Feng's body was huge and tall, and the black gold war robe he was wearing had many holes repaired.Pan Feng didn't dare to say anything, so he accepted it, but he put on the new battle robe underneath, and still covered it with the old robe.

Cao Cao came to see Pan Feng one day, and saw that he was still wearing an old robe, he couldn't help squinting his narrow eyes, feeling displeased again, but on the surface he smiled.

"Why is Wushuang so frugal?"

"It's not frugal. The old robe was given by my brother-in-law. I wear it like seeing my brother. I dare not forget the old gift from my brother with the new gift from the prime minister, so I wear it on it."

Pan Feng's words seemed to be cutting Cao Cao's heart. Cao Cao was full of anger, but he still suppressed it tightly and sighed.

"Wu Shuang is really a righteous man!"

Pan Feng always upholds his true heart. Although Cao Cao gave him many gifts and treated him with kindness, it was still difficult to shake Pan Feng's loyalty.Cao Cao was very helpless, he could only think of time to grind, perhaps expecting Liu Bei to be killed by the pursuers he sent, Pan Feng gave up on him, and then wanted him to treat him like a national soldier, willing to serve under his command with peace of mind .

But Cao Cao didn't know that Pan Feng had secretly sworn that once he heard the news of Liu Bei's death, he would follow his oath to accompany him in the dark.

During this year, Cao Cao captured Nanyang and Runan, wiped out Yuan Shu, the giant crocodile in the south, and then captured the East China Sea, planning to seize Guangling, and gained all the land of Xuzhou, and his power expanded rapidly.Moreover, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei are two confidantes who are in serious trouble, one is killed and the other is a fugitive, Cao Cao's rear is stable, he immediately rests his troops to store up, and prepares for the shocking battle with the northern giant Yuan Shao, let alone for the time being.

Cao Cao was like the sun and the sky, unstoppable, and his successive feats shocked the world.But in Hedong Anyi, it was quite peaceful.

In the mansion of the Great General in Anyi, Wen Hangui was the Great General of Hushi. According to the Han Dynasty, the mansion can be expanded to show his prestige.Here, Zhou Long first asked Wenhan for instructions, and then refurbished his old mansion, expanded several courtyards, and built a music garden, a martial arts hall, and several rooms.And because Wenhan sits down with a very rich capital chain, the gambling house, wine industry, etc. can earn huge sums of money every year, and in addition, Wenhan cooperates with merchants from all over the river, and has many shops in the silk and smelting industry. It can't be compared with the income of gambling houses and liquor industry, but it is quite considerable.In addition, the strategy of garrisoning the fields has been put on track in Bingzhou and Hedong, and every autumn harvest, countless grains are stored.It was a time of troubled times, rice and grain were precious, and Wen Han stored most of it, sold a small half, and got a lot of gold and silk every year.

In this regard, Wen Han can be said to be the most profitable warlord in today's troubled times. I am afraid that within a few years, Wen Han's financial resources will reach the point where the country is invincible.

However, Wen Han is not a rich and unkind exploiter.He was well aware of the principle of taking from the people and using them for the people. He built courtyards and martial arts halls in Bingzhou and Hedong, and vigorously cultivated poor people.Therefore, more and more refugees flocked to Bingzhou and Hedong. Especially in the past two years, the population of the two places has increased sharply, and finally it has reached the point where every city is overcrowded.

In order to relieve the pressure on the counties, Wen Han discussed with Zhong Yao, his adviser.Zhong Yao is worthy of Wang Zuozhi's talent. He suggested that Wen Han should go west. First, he should persuade the merchants under his command to go to Beidi and Xinping to start a business first. Get a considerable amount of funds to do trial business first.

After hearing this, Wen Han was very pleasantly surprised, hit it off with Zhong Yao, and immediately acted according to the plan, and sent Zhong Yao and Wang Lang to Hedong and Bingzhou to persuade the merchants. Although these merchants heard that there was such a favorable policy, their reactions were quite different. Yongzhou was plagued by wars, and the forces of all parties were complicated. Unwilling to let go of their thriving family, they went to Beidi and Xinping to start again.And some merchants realized that this is a great opportunity to make a fortune. In addition, they firmly believe that Wenhan, a rare giant in a hundred years, will be able to aspire to Yongzhou sooner or later, just like Bingzhou in the past, bringing stability to Yongzhou From all over the country, they rushed to Beidi and Xinping one after another, and began to join hands to revive the business of the two counties.

As for Zhong Yao's westward plan, commercial revival is only the first step, and the most important second step has just begun.The merchants who came from Bingzhou and Hedong have earned a lot of money in the past few years, and with the support of Wenhan, they don't have to be restrained in using the funds. Under Zhang Xiu's lobbying, Beidi, Xinping The wealthy families and merchants are willing to cooperate with these merchants who come to invest from other places. After all, with the heavy investment of these merchants from other places, their hometown will surely prosper within a few years.

And just as these people expected, under the heavy investment of these foreign merchants, in just three months, the cities of Beidi and Xinping have been filled with merchants from all walks of life, and taverns, grain stores, and silk shops can be seen everywhere on every street and alley. However, Beidi and Xinping counties have been plagued by wars for a long time, and the people are all cash-strapped, so the merchants rarely make money. If it weren't for Wenhan's tax exemption and financial support, these merchants would have given up and left long ago.

However, Zhong Yao, a peerless talent like Zhong Yao, would not have expected such a situation to occur, and quickly implemented a countermeasure.The people in Beidi and Xinping are poor, but the people in Hedong are rich. Under Zhong Yao's suggestion, Wen Han implemented a policy to order the people in all counties in Hedong that anyone who wants to go to Beidi and Xinping will be paid according to each household. The population can all share the land.As soon as this policy came out, there was an uproar in all parts of Hedong. It can be seen that since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, most of the land was controlled by the imperial court and wealthy families, and it was impossible for ordinary people to get an inch of land.And this is different from the land allocated to the garrison. The garrison is allotted wasteland outside the city, while what Wen Han is now allocating is the land inside the city. The value of the land inside and outside the city cannot be compared at all.In addition, Wen Han's repeated policy implementation is not just a signal to the people of the world that he has absolute confidence that he can capture Yongzhou.

And once Wen Han succeeds in winning Yongzhou, based on the trend of his policy implementation in recent years, he will also implement farming in the land of Yongzhou. In this way, the population of Yongzhou will skyrocket, and the land value of Yongzhou city will also rise rapidly. The future value will be higher and higher.In this way, if you can get the land of Yongzhou city, it can be said that you can prolong three generations!

Therefore, as soon as Wen Han's policy came out, the people in Hedong almost flocked to it, and their families flocked to Beidi and Xinping.Of course, there are also some people who are used to living in Hedong and do not want to leave their hometowns and continue to live in Hedong.

With thousands of people from Hedong flocking to Beidi and Xinping, the business in the two counties was able to run smoothly again. In less than half a year, both Beidi and Xinping counties were for the largest population and business in Yongzhou. The most developed and prosperous county.

Later, Wenhan promulgated the same policy in Bingzhou, and the people of Bingzhou also rushed to go there. However, compared with the people in Hedong, the people of Bingzhou are more than rich, but they can still afford some daily living expenses.Therefore, Wen Han first let the people in Hedong bring the prosperity of Beidi and Xinping counties, and then issued a policy to move the people in Bingzhou to the two counties.

Of course, the two counties of Beidi and Xinping can develop so rapidly, all thanks to Wen Han's two benevolent policies successively. These two benevolent policies can be said to benefit business and the people. In addition to alleviating the population pressure in Hedong and Bingzhou, and bringing prosperity to the two counties under his jurisdiction, Wen Han can hardly be said to have any profit, and he has no tax income, and the government land is completely divided by these people in Hedong and Bingzhou .However, Wen Han has always been a short-sighted person. As long as Beidi and Xinping are prosperous and prosperous, people from all counties in Yongzhou will naturally flock here. When the population increases sharply, Wen Han will be able to quickly recruit a large number of recruits in Beidi and Xinping .

And most importantly, if Wen Han can bring prosperity to Beidi and Xinping, his reputation will surely rise rapidly in the hearts of the people in all counties of Yongzhou.All the people in Yongzhou do not want to be under the jurisdiction of Wenhan, and they mainly welcome them.In this way, in the future, Wen Han will be able to get twice the result with half the effort if he wants to raise his troops to fight in the counties of Yongzhou!

Wen Han vigorously developed the prosperity of Beidi and Xinping in Yongzhou, which made Ma Teng and Han Sui uneasy. In addition, a year ago, according to the emperor's order, Wen Han won the position of Shepherd of Yongzhou again, and became the master of Yongzhou .However, Ma Teng and Han Sui turned a deaf ear to this, let alone sent congratulations. At the same time, Ma Teng even sent heavy troops to guard Feng Yi and Jingzhao counties. Teng and Wenhan are both on guard.

Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't seem to recognize Wen Han as the shepherd of Yongzhou, and Wen Han didn't see any movement, let alone sent a single letter, asking Ma Teng and Han Sui for the territory they occupied in Yongzhou.On the surface, the three forces are living in peace for the time being, but in fact, they have their own ulterior motives and take precautions against each other.

Moreover, although Ma Teng and Han Sui had had friction because of Li Cui's incident, they tended to join forces to fight against Wen Han because Wen Han got the position of Shepherd of Yongzhou.

However, Wen Han didn't seem to be in a hurry to tear up his face with these two. He raised his troops, and at the same time trained recruits in the counties of Hedong and Bingzhou. over development.

During this year, Wen Han seemed to be busy, but in fact he was not. Almost all the affairs in Beidi and Xinping were handled by Zhong Yao single-handedly, with Xi Long, Wang Lang, and Zhang Xiu each assisting.On weekdays, Wen Han only needs to make decisions on the direction of some big decisions.

So, what did Wenhan do for most of the year?

In the mansion of General Huqi in Anyi, Wen Han's face was soft, his eyes were full of happiness and satisfaction, he quietly looked at the white and fat baby in his wife Cai Yan's arms, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up again.The baby seemed to sense Wen Han's gaze, and giggled, very cute.

This white and fat baby is exactly Wen Han's son, Wen Shun.Wen Han still remembers very clearly the scene of the day when his son was born.

One year ago, Anyi city suddenly covered the sky with red clouds. It was daytime at that time, but because of the dense red clouds, the city was covered with a dim red color, so that the people in the city did not feel scared.

At that time, Wen Han had just rushed back to Anyi, and at the gate of the city, he heard Zhou Long hurriedly say that Cai Yan was about to give birth, Wen Han's expression changed drastically, without saying a word, he galloped his horse towards the mansion in the city .

Wen Han rushed to the house, and outside his and Cai Yan's bedroom in the mansion, it was already overcrowded. Horse trainers, Zuo Ci, Tong Yuan, Zhong Yao and others were waiting anxiously outside the door.Wen Han hurried forward, followed closely by Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Zhou Long.

"You brat, you only care about fighting and fighting all day!! Yan'er is about to give birth, why did you come back now!!"

When the horse trainer saw Wen Han, he opened his mouth to scold him.
