Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 221 Jizhou goods are all the rage, leading the way!
"Everyone, it's almost the end of today, come back tomorrow."

Xu Zhen waved his hand and bid farewell to the people of Qinghe. Today, he harvested a lot of leeks and food. With Xu Zhen's talents in civil and military affairs, the harvesting work is better than ordinary strong men.

At first glance, the technique is that of an old farmer. The hearts of the common people are hot all day long, and their blood is boiling.

"Your Majesty stay here, let's have a meal together."

"Yes, let's thank Junhou and give you a cup!"

"Your Majesty! I have enough food left in my house. I have collected the food. Let me thank you, You Majesty, tonight!"

"You have a good idea," Xu Zhen looked proudly, with the corners of his mouth twitching, "I naturally leave my evening hours to my family, to cultivate my morals, to study history and learn soldiers, and to gain knowledge through extensive knowledge!"

"It's best for you to rest tonight and continue tomorrow."

"When the harvest is over, we still need to cultivate the soil. Don't gather together at night to praise the benevolence of the king. You must do everything yourself. No one can hear you. You should have a good rest."

Xu Zhen slipped away after saying this, for fear that the villagers would come to him for dinner and drink.

But these words also made the common people a little confused, Junhou also advised us not to gather and discuss... There is nothing to brag about.

Other scholars can't wait to recite it so that people from all over the world know about it. This gentleman is good, so I advise them not to pass it on to the outside world, just get used to it.

"Who are we here?"

"In the past, the humble scholars in the village said that the world favors the past and despises the present, and there are sages in today's world. It is not necessary to look for them in ancient times. I think this prince is a sage."

"I'm absolutely sure, anyway, it's very straightforward, and I'm so comfortable listening to it."

"Your Majesty is telling the truth. Look at the few steps he trotted just now, he looks like my uncle."

"It really looks like my uncle."

"You are so beautiful, my uncle."

"My uncle!"

"You uncle blow it!"

……

In the government office.

When Xu Zhen came back from the field, there was still dirt on Xu Zhen's trousers. When Zhang Yan saw Xu Zhen coming at the gate of the government office, he didn't care at all, and felt distressed at the gate.

Immediately with agility, he trotted to catch up, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have already said, it doesn't matter if the ninety thousand brothers are starving and unarmed, you don't have to work so hard."

"Go to the fields and harvest the people in person, and at night, you have to review the inspection records from various places, and then look at the humanities, and you will feel ashamed in the end!"

"Don't worry, Junhou will no longer be able to harvest wheat together, it will damage the prestige of Junhou!"

"You know shit."

Xu Zhen glanced back at him, and went straight to the mansion. There were a hundred guards in the main hall, which filled the front yard. Zhang Yan was stunned for a long time by a sentence in the back, but he still didn't get over it.

Hurry up and follow up again, catching up with Xu Zhen and saying: "Junhou, I told my brothers that when veterans return home, they are not idlers, but still coolies."

"Manpower."

Xu Zhen corrected a sentence, what a coolie, what do you think of me.

"Yes, manpower, driven by the king, can also protect merchants, follow the caravan, and go with our Jizhou caravan."

"Good idea!" Xu Zhen laughed. This has solved a lot of resettlement problems, and the veterans have a place to go.

Not only people like the Black Mountain Army, but also the old soldiers and horses under his own command can go to the caravan to open up business.

In addition, there are things like opening waterways, etc., which require a lot of manpower, so that veterans can take up this position, and they can be forced to grow stronger in the future. As for the five baht coins and gold and silver...

It still needs to be on the four words of that rare commodity.

……

September, October.

Within a month and a half, all kinds of eccentric and delicate goods became popular in Jizhou. The exquisite craftsmanship and ingenious design are equivalent to whimsical ideas.

And those fragrances, lipsticks, rouges and other things are very popular with women in deep boudoirs, especially the daughters of Erqianshi's family, as well as the outer rooms of major generals and officials.

Woodworking products are small waterwheels, which are used in the courtyard, and there are brocade mats, especially the mats bought from Shudi to make brocade mats, which are cool, gorgeous, and noble, and scholars can't put it down when they buy them.

It was very popular with scholars from all over the world, but only a batch was given away, and then it disappeared, leaving only food and forage, ordinary cloth and handmade products.

Among the commodities obtained by scholars, the most popular one is paper.

Delicate and smooth paper, only one stack is more noble than the rough paper of the year, with layers of light and smooth, it is more comfortable to write and refreshes the mind.

Scholars can't stop writing.

When I looked for it again, there was no more goods, and many rare goods were gone when they were used up, and there were no more.

In Xudu, even Zhong Yao was going crazy.

This day, he hurried to Shangshutai's government office mansion, and while Xun Yu was resting in the backyard, he took a pair of calligraphy and spread it out in front of him.

"Xun Lingjun, look at this picture!"

"Vigorous and powerful, elegant and unrestrained, full of skills, Wen Ruo will not be able to write such good calligraphy like a waterfall in another 30 years." Xun Yu glanced at it and immediately sighed.

"I said paper."

"Good paper," Xun Yu also smiled bitterly, but shaking his head, he stretched out his hand and lifted a corner of the paper, and then turned it over to cover the copy.

He raised his head to look at Zhong Yao, with a smile on his face already, and this smile was full of a clear meaning.

"The doctor's intention is to find this thing below?"

"Yes, this should be found out! There is such a paper, how to make it, whether it is made of bark or cloth, you should ask for advice."

"This thing can make the scholars of the world go one step further. In the future, memorial paper may be used. We don't need to use bamboo slips to burn it, which saves a lot of tedious and mundane tasks. This, this can even take calligraphy to a higher level!!"

Zhong Yao was obviously very excited. Of course, he was just a microcosm. Many people in the imperial city are so interested in many goods. Although they are expensive, but fortunately they are not in large quantities, so most of the dignitaries bought some.

Now it is not as poor as before. The officials, the rich merchants, and the sons of the gentry are all rich. This is due to the grace of the Cao family.

Xun Yu looked up at Zhong Yao, smiled calmly, "I can't find it."

"Why?"

"From, Jizhou Tiangong Institute."

"What courtyard?" Zhong Yao was taken aback for a moment.

"Although it is arrogant and not self-effacing to make clever remarks, when have you ever seen Xu Junhou be humble?"

"This Tiangongyuan is made by him. Over the years, it has recruited skilled talents from all over the world, mainly craftsmen, carpenters, stonemasons and craftsmen, regardless of men and women, and there are many skilled women among them. These goods are all from Tiangongyuan. , It’s funny, this Tiangongyuan is Xu Bowen’s private workshop, not an official office set up by Jizhou government.”

"This, this should also be handed over to him..."

Zhong Yao said subconsciously, but after he finished speaking, he realized that it was rude to say it, and it was surprising to say it.

After saying this, Xun Yu squeezed out a kind smile on his calm and serious face, "That's right, Doctor Zhong's words come from the heart and are touching."

"Please go to Jizhou and talk to Bowen in person."

"Then don't go," Zhong Yao waved his hand immediately. If you want to ask for it like this, that place is more dangerous than Chang'an's Chijiedu Guanzhong Army.

"The problem lies in this. After Bowen led Jizhou Mu, he got Zhang Yan's 16 soldiers and horses, which was reduced to [-] soldiers. He never sent a memorial to Xu Du, and he never asked for a penny. They were all settled. What is it? Is it the personal charm of being a state shepherd? Of course not, but his intelligence."

"Now that the Tiangong Institute has this papermaking method in hand, it should be commended by the emperor for its achievements. First of all, rewards will be given, and then the government will be rewarded. Food, grass and money will be donated to help Bowen consolidate and expand the army, but the problem comes again."

Xun Yu showed a helpless smile when he said this, "A month and a half ago, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houlin, Cao Xiu, Li Dian, Zhu Ling, Che Zhou and other generals received a total of 61 shi of grain. With rewards and pensions, scrambling to be the first, the reason is just, Shang Shutai cannot refuse."

"Ling Xu Zhen can't speak, the doctor taught me, how to issue this edict? Is it to order the emperor and the prime minister to order, or to bind Bo Wen with righteousness, and let him sacrifice it for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty."

"Whoever goes to Jizhou to pass this decree, I'm sure that there are no more than ten people in the world today who can stand and say these words in the main hall of the Qinghe Government Office in Jizhou without lying down. The emperor will go in person, the prime minister will go in person, and the eldest son will go in person go."

"If you go to Shao Xi's mansion, Mr. Guo's mansion, I'm afraid you will be scolded a few times. Although Bo Wen is kind and modest, what do you think about the tempers of Generals Dian Wei and Xu Chu?"

Zhong Yao shook his head quickly after hearing this, "Dong Chengdang was beaten by Dianwei in the main hall, I can vividly remember it."

He Dianwei... a person who can have a posthumous title while alive, can he be a normal person?
Fundamentally speaking, since he has such abilities and received a posthumous title, it shows that he is a ruthless man who is not afraid of death and serves the Lord on the battlefield, and he can come out alive, which shows that he is a ghost crawling out of the dead. to mess with him.

After Lu Bu's death, the faces of the enemies changed when they heard about Dian Wei. He was inseparable from Lu Bu on horseback, but he could beat Lu Bu when he got off the horse.

Of course, at this age, the world is still full of talents, and there are countless heroes waiting to become famous and become famous in one battle.

"Well, this is very difficult. Jizhou's products are just this batch... I can't just catch a glimpse of them and never see them again. Although the paper is not as good as silk brocade, it is far better than Luoyang paper back then. .”

Luoyang paper, the special offering among the palace, officials, and gentry is already excellent, and it is nothing compared to the paper sold in Jizhou.

Xu Zhen has the ability to make paper and spread it, so he must have the ability to mass-produce it. If such a method is hidden in the territory, it will be troublesome for other regions to buy it.

"Prime Minister...won't you go and talk about it yourself?"

Zhong Yao didn't quite give up, Nian Xu asked tentatively, when he said this, Xun Yu smiled again, nodded and said simply: "No."

"If the prime minister spoke for Bowen at the beginning and asked for hundreds of thousands of shi of grain, then he would go to Bowen now and ask him to open up the goods and sell them to various places."

"But since he didn't intervene in the beginning, he won't intervene now."

"It's a pity, it's a pity!" Zhong Yao sighed, and after asking Xun Yu for advice, he probably understood what happened, and he could only watch the play for a few more months.

……

In Xudu, the gentry who had used Jizhou paper were all mourning. Because of his hard work and great achievements, Yang Xiu was trusted by Xu Zhen's side, and his achievements were extremely high, so he sent three packages of Jizhou paper to his home.

And wrote a letter to his father Yang Biao on paper.

Taiwei Yang Biao has not resigned for the time being, so he showed off fiercely, making others feel strange and a little envious.

Cao Cao's own prime minister's mansion also got a carriage of paper, and there was a special calligraphic mounting volume made of brocade cloth and Jizhou paper for calligraphy.

Even the part of the personal seal was left blank, so Cao Cao wrote a few poems immediately, and included them. Xu Zhen also asked a beautiful woman and craftsman to burn Cao Cao's seal.

This kind of seal can distinguish the authenticity of the identity, there is no official position in it, only the signature or the name of the name are revealed.

Cao Cao liked it very much.

And their wives prefer Jizhou Rouge.

Jizhou rouge and Jizhou aromatherapy have become the secrets of the wives of officials and their children. The first batch came out. The unique fragrance of flowers and the unique way of use make everyone a "gentleman with fragrance". This phrase Xu Zhen used Although the widely spread propaganda made Xun Yu so angry that he couldn't sleep for several nights, it was really effective.

The fragrance stays on the body, and the fragrance stays everywhere, and the smell is naturally floral. If you don't want it to be too strong, you can take the powder and spray it with water mist to make it fragrant all day long.

Not to mention the wives, the women in the high-end Goulan, the business girls, suddenly became more fascinating and fascinating, and because of this, they left a fragrance on their bodies.

These exotic products flowed out from Jizhou, and the quantity of a batch was really not much, but the effect was amazing. They were sold to Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

The goods seemed to have disappeared. People who asked about the merchants could only smile wryly. If they want the goods, they can only get them from Jizhou. No one can get them now.

Things like reclining chairs, wooden tables, and multi-wheeled vehicles are good for long-term use, and they can be used for a long time if you buy them.

Those consumables are gone, just gone.

It's like fine wine in front of you, the aroma is overflowing, and all the gluttons are hooked by you, but you drink half a sip, and your throat hasn't been wet yet, and you won't drink it again, leaving only the big smell in your head reverberates.

So celebrities and officials from all over the country tried their best to go to Jizhou to inquire, starting from the county magistrate, looking for connections and asking the prefect.

He also asked generals in the army, wealthy merchants, and celebrities of the gentry, who had contacts to inquire about Bie Jia, and Zhuge Liang alone met people one after another.

In Qinghe County, the government office is partial.

Xu Zhen went to the field to teach the people to plant flowers and trees, plant vegetation in the barren hills, and use wood from places far away from the city.

Jizhou is huge, and it takes several months to search for materials and mines. Zhang Yan knows that in many deep mountains, the Black Mountain Army has been entrenched in the mountains for many years, and they have always been looking for them.

While Xu Zhen was away, someone came to visit Zhuge Liang.

"I can't, I can't." In the inner hall of the side courtyard, after the tea was set, Zhuge Liang placed his head on the main seat like a rattle. I want it, and I want the method of making paper? These are all obtained by my master's hard work day and night, and it is also a flash of inspiration, and only with God's help can I get it."

"You have empty mouths and white teeth. As soon as you open and close your lips, you want to go. No, you have to pay more."

Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea and spoke righteously.

When someone heard this, I'm afraid it's...a joke? !It can really be bought and sold to design drawings! ?How to make it directly? !

The visitor had an old acquaintance, Han Hao, who had dealt with Xu Zhen a lot back then. When Han Hao presided over the village, Xu Zhen recommended him.

"Don't drive, it means you can sell the method to the last general?"

"That general can't be sold today even if I kill him," Zhuge Liang cheerfully fanned his feather fan and said, "But the finished product can be sold."

"With five baht coins, military rations, horses, and gold, we only need these four."

"Can I still use five baht?"

Han Hao immediately sat upright, what else is there to do?It's not that five baht coins are useless.

How can it work in Jizhou?

Is there any knowledge I don't understand in this, and if it is sold to Jizhou for five baht, is it not good for other places?

It's better to exchange it with military rations...

　Happy new year!I look forward to writing more and more in the new year, and the more I write, the better!
