Chapter 390: Sinful Woman, Official Bandit!

"Then Sun Zhongmou thinks that since he is the evil one to complain first, I won't do anything to him? That's ridiculous!"

Liu Chan sneered, his eyes flashing with a captivating light.

"You want to harm my life with a beauty trick. If this revenge is not avenged, how can I, Mr. Liu, be considered a human being or a king? Isn't it true that even cats and dogs can trample on my dignity as a big man?"

uh~

Ma Su was stunned. Now, even he couldn't hold himself any longer.

Not

Your Highness, although they came to assassinate you, they failed!

Those people who want to assassinate you, won’t they stick their butts out to you obediently?

Why do you act like you are the victim?

On the contrary, Ma Su could understand Sun Quan's anger.

They originally wanted to assassinate you, so they spent a lot of money to send their sister-in-law and the wife of an important minister to you. But in the end, there was no gain at all from the money spent. It can even be described as getting nothing back.

"Your Highness, under the grand strategy, I, the Han Dynasty, want to form an alliance with Jiangdong to deal with the Wei State. If Your Highness wants to avenge this, he will inevitably start a war. If this is the case, I am afraid that the Wei State will applaud him. I am not sincere. Tomoya!"

In Ma Di's view, even if Sun Quan really came to assassinate him, he couldn't really send troops to attack.

Among the Three Kingdoms, if the second oldest child fights against the third oldest child, wouldn’t the eldest brother laugh to death?

"It is not necessary to raise troops, but if Gu is bullied by him and remains indifferent, this is definitely not Gu's character."

Send troops there, it would be ridiculous if there is another Yiling fire.

But if the army fails, Liu Chan can't do other things?

"Send envoys to Jiangdong to question Sun Quan!"

condemn?

Ma Su was stunned for a moment and asked: "What is the content of the accusation?"

"Of course it was Jiang Dong who wanted to assassinate me and he was so close to death that he had to escape. Sun Quan had to write a document and confess to me and beg for forgiveness. This is one of them."

narrowly escaped death

Your Highness seems to have taken no risk at all, right?

The complaints in his heart just turned around in Ma Su's mind, and he immediately asked: "What about the next one?"

Sun Quan is a well-known shameless person in the world. It is easy for him to write a letter to apologize and beg for forgiveness.

After all, he was the only one who could surrender to Wei and Han at the same time.

"Open the Jiangdong trade route and sign a trade alliance agreement. Jiangdong is not allowed to restrict the quantity and types of products imported by the trade alliance. To levy commercial taxes, it must be discussed with the Han Dynasty before it can be implemented. This is the second one."

Open the Jiangdong trade route and sign a business alliance.

Ma Su thought about Jiangdong's loss for a moment, with a look of hesitation on his face.

"I'm afraid Sun Zhongmou won't agree to this easily."

The benefits of the business alliance were already clear to Ma Su after he took over the military affairs department during this period.

In one state, the government's tax collection is astronomical in one month, let alone the entire Jiangdong?

This is simply cutting flesh on Sun Quan's body.

For a person like Sun Quan who is unwilling to take any small losses and wants to take advantage of any small profits, this is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

What's more, if trade routes are opened up, the number and types of products imported by the merchant alliance are not allowed to be restricted. This is equivalent to Jiangdong becoming a dumping ground for Han products.

If things go on like this, it will inevitably cause some irreversible damage to some local industries in Jiangdong.

On this aspect, Jiangdong officials will not fail to see it.

"Humph!"

Liu Chan snorted softly and said, "This matter is not up to him, not to Jiangdong."

Dare you come and assassinate me?

Even if it doesn’t succeed, was it your doing?

If you don't agree?

Liu Chan also had countermeasures.

"The envoys sent out at that time can say this to Sun Quan: If he does not agree, I will order Jiang Xia Yu Jin to lead the loyal army along the river to harass the counties in the east of the Yangtze River. In addition, I will also let Ma Liang order Wudang to fly his army from the three counties of Jingnan. , harassed Yuzhang and other counties in Jiangdong, and completely banned trade with Jiangdong!"

Aren’t you Jiangdong still fighting for Guangling County with Zang Ba?

I send troops to harass you, not to defeat the enemy or get any benefits, but to harass you and cause you losses.

Attracting Jiangdong's troops will make your already poor Jiangdong even worse, and may even cause you to be at a disadvantage when competing with Zang Ba for Guangling County.

As for banning business in Jiangdong, it will alienate Jiangdong's vested interests, the Jiangdong gentry, from your Sun family.

Can you, Sun Quan, withstand this two-pronged approach?

"Let the envoy go down in a fast boat. Within two months, I will get a reply."

When dealing with villains, you cannot be arrogant.

You have to make this little man afraid and frightened, then you can make him feel awe in his heart.

Blindly being gentle will only encourage his unhealthy tendencies.

Grand strategy?

If you, Jiangdong, don't know what you are doing, then what's the harm if I destroy you, Jiangdong, first, and then compete with Wei for the world?

Instead of having an ally standing behind you who could attack you at any time, it would be better to kill you first and then compete with Wei for the world.

of course

This idea only flickered in Liu Chan's mind.

In fact, Liu Chan would never do this unless it was absolutely necessary.

But if it comes to a last resort, Liu Chan will not be soft-hearted and will beat Jiang Dong to death!

"I will make arrangements now."

Liu Chan nodded slightly and saw that Ma Su was about to leave, so he quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Wait a moment, it is better to use the remaining brave men to chase the poor bandits, and not to pretend to be the overlord. Send this poem to Anguo."

When dealing with the remaining remnants of the Linjun barbarians, we must not be soft-hearted. We must not think that there is no threat to the other side and then not eradicate them.

These barbarians are like sparks in the mountains and forests. If you don't eradicate them completely, it won't be long before they become a prairie fire.

This is a situation Liu Chan doesn't want to see.

"It is better to use your remaining courage to pursue the poor bandits, not to use your reputation as an academic overlord."

Ma Su murmured to himself, his face became solemn, he saluted Liu Chan, and then said: "I accept your order!"

The affairs of the Jianjun Division were almost settled. Dong Yun stepped forward and handed Liu Chan information on the progress of people's livelihood, farming, reclamation of wasteland, dredging of water canals, and resettlement of mountain people in various counties in Brazil County to Liu Chan for reading.

"With enough slaves joining, various processes in Brazil County have been accelerated a lot. Now it is possible to reclaim ten hectares of wasteland, dredge and build a canal, resettle mountain residents, and build twenty houses in one day."

With more labor force, various processes will be faster.

Acres of wasteland have been reclaimed, because they use fire to burn forest land and slash and burn cultivation. Therefore, these days, the sky in Brazil County is gray. This air pollution can be said to be very serious.

Under slash-and-burn farming, everything planted in the first year will grow well because of the fertility of the fire. However, in the second and third years, as the fertility declines, the fields will produce less and less. .

According to the old habits of the people, when the fertility dropped, they would naturally choose another area for slash-and-burn cultivation.

But when it comes to Liu Chan, that won't work.

If we cultivate a piece of land, plant it for a year or two and then give up, wouldn’t that be an insult to our Han people’s farming skills?

The Academy of Sciences also sent people over to teach these people how to farm and how to fertilize their fields.

This includes but is not limited to using plant ash, manure, and pond mud to fertilize the land.

As long as the method of fertilizing the land is used properly, even if it is raw land, after three years of planting, not only will the output not be reduced due to the decline in fertility, but the field will be cultivated for a long time, and it will turn from a middle-to-low-grade field into a high-quality good field.

of course

When setting fire to the mountains, Liu Chan would order people to cut down precious vegetation first to avoid waste.

For example, the golden nanmu in the mountains and forests has a market, whether it is used to build palaces, temples, coffins, or even wood carvings.

Such high value-added things cannot be burned down just because of a fire.

As for how to cut down and how to transport it after cutting.

Naturally, it was transported by waterway.

Such large trees are placed in the Langshui River and allowed to flow down the river and directly into the Yangtze River system. They are intercepted in Jiangzhou and Jiangling and then transported to Chengdu or other places. When the wasteland is dug again, it has already brought a lot of business opportunities.

It is precisely because of this that Badi has attracted many businessmen these days.

These merchants came from all over the world, and there were even merchants from the Western Regions.

The Merchant Alliance's stall has grown, and now his influence has also increased. He can even attract merchants from foreign countries.

"How many houses are still missing, how much time is needed, how long will it take for the first phase of wasteland reclamation in Brazil County to be completed, and will the bean and vegetable seeds be distributed in each county's treasury?"

In Liu Chan's plan, at least three phases of projects will be required to fully develop Brazil County.

After these three phases of the project, Brazil County will be self-sufficient, and can also store a lot of grain, military supplies, and ordnance for military use.

Liu Chan now wants to see the first phase of the project in Badi County be successfully completed. After the completion of this phase of the project, many experienced subordinate officials will be generated. These subordinate officials can spread throughout the counties of Badi and let them They developed the counties of Badi according to the method of Brazil County.

After the first phase of the project in Brazil County was completed, it was almost time for Liu Chan to leave Badi.

"There are tens of thousands of people to build houses. As for the first phase of wasteland reclamation in Brazil County, it will take at least a month. The bean seeds and vegetable seeds that His Highness is worried about are all left in the treasury of various places. , the stock should be enough.”

Now that we have missed the farming season, it is too late to plant crops such as chestnuts and rice. Now we can only plant one kind of beans, vegetables and other crops that do not take much time to harvest, although they will not be enough for next year. But beans can also fill the stomach, and the government can even purchase beans with grain and rice.

After all, war horses eat beans, and beans are considered a type of military supplies.

"One month is enough."

Liu Chan nodded and said, "That's it."

After Ma Su retreated, Huang Chong stepped forward slowly and said: "The news from Yu is that since last month, there have been no mountain bandits and water bandits attacking the Dajiang Commercial Road. It seems that this matter is as expected by His Highness. It's that man." Junman pretended to be mountain bandits and water bandits, and robbed merchants along the river."

The Yangtze River trade route is smooth, so it will naturally make the trade route smooth.

But

This time the Linjun barbarians have been eliminated. After a while, I am afraid that new forces will fill it.

There are so many caravans, and one robbery can last for a year, or even several years. With the huge profits now, it is inevitable that some people will take risks.

Instead of letting others take over the mountain bandits and water bandits, it would be better for me to support a group of mountain bandits and water bandits myself.

As for the candidate, Liu Chan already had it in mind.

"Ten days later, we will recruit the chief of the Ju people into the house. I want to see him!"

After the death of the old chief of the Ju people, the new chief naturally took over.

As the second and fifth son of the Badi foreign tribe, the strength of the Juren tribe has been well preserved. Many barbarians even joined the tribe, and their strength has actually increased.

However, although the Ju people's strength has increased, they also know the way to survive. Not only did they send their clan members to Langzhong, they also asked Liu Chan to send Han officials to the Ju people tribe to teach knowledge and Chinese law.

The attitude is rather deferential.

It would be good to let them become bandits and water bandits.

"promise!"

Huang Chong immediately understood the meaning of Liu Chan's words and nodded immediately.

"Your Majesty, go and give your orders."

Next, other ministers passed on other messages. Yesterday, or in these days, Liu Chan had a clear understanding of the situation in Brazil County and even the entire Badi.

Before I knew it, the sun had reached the top of my head, and it was already time to bask in the sun.

Liu Chan stretched and his stomach began to growl.

Playing on the bed with the women consumes physical energy, but thinking about things all day long is also very draining of mental energy.

Just as Liu Chan was about to stand up, outside the door, Liu Zhong, wearing a Han official robe, slowly walked in.

"Your Majesty, I greet Your Highness."

Liu Chan looked at Liu Zhong, who had just raised his buttocks and sat down again.

"General, what important matter do you want to report?"

important?

Liu Zhong shook his head and said, "It's not that important."

Seeing Liu Zhong's coy look, Liu Chan knew that what this kid was going to say next would definitely not be made public.

"That's it, come to my study and have lunch with me."

what?

Dinner with His Highness?

This.

What kind of glory is this?

Liu Zhong immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for the banquet!"

When they arrived in the study, in front of Liu Chan and Liu Zhong's dining room, sumptuous lunches were being served one after another.

For Liu Zhong, who had never seen the world, it was like a knife scratching his butt - his eyes were completely opened.

What was served first was a plate of emerald green and tender vegetables, with bright colors that gave people a fresh and sweet taste when they took a bite.

This was followed by a mouth-watering ham cooked on an ebony inlaid plate.

When the food was served again, the smoke was curling up, making people salivate.

This is a juicy and delicious meat stew that takes several hours to simmer, but it is full of color, flavor and flavor, filling your mouth with every bite.

The most addictive dish is the roast duck, which is roasted to a golden and crispy texture. It is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. When you bite into it, the aroma is overflowing, making you want to eat.

While eating delicious food and drinking fine wine, Liu Zhong even forgot the purpose of coming in.

I completely became a foodie.

"Cough cough."

In the end, Liu Chan couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed and said to Liu Zhong: "General, I'm here this time. I don't know what important matter you have. Why don't you come here to inform me?"

After being reminded by Liu Chan, Liu Zhong immediately knew that he had lost his composure.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Today, I am here to deliver some sinful women to His Highness."

Sinful woman?

Liu Chan frowned.

Even people know about my lustful reputation?

"It's not good to be a womanizer!" someone said harshly.

Liu Zhong immediately said: "These criminal women are not only noble in status, but also beautiful as flowers. However, they are very different from the beauty of Han women. They are all married women. Your Highness may wish to meet them."

"Cough cough."

Liu Chan coughed and glared at Liu Zhong angrily.

What is a married woman?

Do you think I'm good at this?

But in order to live up to his ministers' kindness, Liu Chan had no choice but to say without conscience:

"In that case, it's not impossible to meet him."

PS:

There was a power outage at home, so I went to a colleague's house more than ten miles away to code, and now I'm uploading it first.

Nearly [-] words have been updated today. Isn’t it too much to ask for a monthly pass?
