Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 85 Lu Long
Gongsun Jing's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what his niece meant by mentioning the price of grain and Cao Song's purchase of an official position. He suddenly had a guess in his mind, so he replied: "Ten million."

A smile appeared on Gongsun Yan's lips: "Then, if more than 70 rock salt grains are donated to Liaoxi County, what kind of job can you get?"

There was a sneer on her face, but her heart was also slightly cold.

After the conflict, the two parties sit down and talk, reach some kind of negotiation on interests, and find a step before mutual compromise.

Those lives become less and less valuable in the exchanges and compromises of interests.

The so-called moral banner eventually fell into the mud due to compromise.

All this is due to weakness.

She secretly despised her own compromise and was ashamed of her own powerlessness. She lowered her eyes and said nothing, waiting for Gongsun Jing's answer.

After hearing her request, Tian Kai and others were okay. They had communicated in advance and had a plan in mind, so they were not too surprised.

But it had a big impact on the three people in the Gongsun family.

The first one to react was Gongsun Xuan. She sneered and raised her slender eyebrows: "What, even if you change your official position, can you still do it?" Even if Gongsun Yan can get the recommendation quota from the county, she can Who will this spot be given to?Four-year-old Gongsun Cheng?

In the contemporary political situation, it is impossible for a woman to be an official. Gongsun Xuan's thoughtless speech is almost clearly saying that Gongsun Yan's family is dead and his younger brother is difficult to rely on.

Gongsun Yan raised his head and glanced at her, his face suddenly darkened: "Little aunt, please be careful what you say."

As soon as the words came out, Gongsun Xuan knew that he had made a mistake, but he felt resentful because he was scolded by Gongsun Yan, a junior.

Just as he was about to have an attack, he saw many of Gongsun Zan's old subordinates on the other side looking unhappy.

No matter how arrogant and domineering she was at home, she had never faced the courage of these warriors on the battlefield. Her aura suddenly dropped. She glared at Gongsun Yan angrily, bit her lip and said nothing.

Gongsun Jing was first annoyed at Yaonv's lack of words, but when he saw her frustrated, he couldn't bear it. He frowned and looked at everyone in the hall, as well as Gongsun Yan, who was sitting at the end of the table but dominating the conversation.

Yesterday, I heard Mrs. Jiang's report saying that her granddaughter must have never suffered from war or banditry. Gongsun Jing had a plan in mind and had some concerns about her marriage arrangements.

At this moment, it seems that his temper is far from being as pure, filial and meek as Zuo Ping and Lady Jiang said.

Gongsun Jing originally planned to let her marry Ah Xuan to the Ye family in Liaodong.

Ah Xuan was engaged to the second son of the eldest brother of the Ye family in Liaodong. However, the husband lost his mother last autumn and had to observe filial piety, so the wedding was postponed.

Although he is the second son, the eldest son Ye is very sick and will not live long enough to have any heirs. It is very likely that Ah Xuan's husband-in-law will be the next head of the family.

The eldest son of the Ye family also had a concubine with good looks. Although he lost his legitimate wife, he was quite talented and could be a good match.

Ayan's dowry is generous and her appearance is outstanding, which will surely please her husband.

The aunt and nephew both married into the Ye family, and Ayan could also help her little aunt.

Unfortunately, seeing how tit-for-tat the aunt and nephew are now, I'm afraid it won't be possible.

Since today, all of Gongsun Jing's planned plans have come to nothing. At this time, he was also extremely tired. After hearing Gongsun Yan's words, he steeled himself and asked, "What do you mean, A Yan?"

"Nothing else. It's just that A Cheng and I have been able to reach Lingzhi safely since we broke out of Yijing. We relied on the soldiers under my father's tent to sacrifice their lives to protect us. I have nothing to repay. I just want to seek an official position in western Liaoning to raise the morale of the army." , get a county’s land to recuperate.”

If the position of a land official is taken out, then the 70 Shifu treasury grain and fodder will not be regarded as embezzlement and theft, and everyone will live in peace.

Since Dong Zhuo's chaos and warlord separatism, the central government of the Han Dynasty has lost control of local areas. The appointment and dismissal of officials are all in the hands of aristocratic families and separatist warlords. They can be appointed at will by simply following the procedures listed above.

Liaoxi County has always been the headquarters of the Gongsun family. In recent years, Gongsun Zan has taken advantage of this situation to firmly control the important positions in each county. At this time, the opinions of the Xudu Han Dynasty and the imperial court are not important. As long as the Gongsun family is willing to "represent", the people represented will be That is, a landowner.

One landowner, one county...

Gongsun Jing's dry knuckles tapped rhythmically on the desk. His thoughtful look swept around the people in the hall, passing over the empty sleeve of Tian Kai's right arm, and finally settled on Zhao Yun.

The grandson Acheng is young, Ayan is a woman, and Tian Kai has a broken arm and can no longer serve as an official. The most suitable person Ayan can rely on is the captain surnamed Zhao who has military merit.As people grow older, Gongsun Yan's little thoughts are exposed the moment he expresses his intentions.

After being intercepted and killed, Zuo no longer trusts her family, and instead trusts the person who saved her from death, hoping to find a place to settle down.

Recalling the way Gongsun Yan walked in, kicked someone in the head and hid behind Captain Zhao, Gongsun Jing thought that his granddaughter indeed had great trust in Captain Zhao, and when in danger, she did not hesitate to seek his protection.

It's just... Gongsun Jing sneered in his heart, people's loyalty and trust will change with time and status.

Do not trust the family connected by blood, but trust the ethereal emptiness as loyalty?

Even though this granddaughter seems to be able to speak and think well, she is too naive and childish.

People's hearts are fickle, and you will eventually have to suffer a great loss before you can realize the benefits of home.

Gongsun Jing was silent, and everyone in the hall was silent, waiting for him to make a counteroffer or make a decision.

No one paid attention to Gongsun Jing, the real governor of western Liaoning. He pursed his lips and said nothing, as if he was an irrelevant person.

Looking down at the Luan bird pattern on the desk, it seems that it is a masterpiece of a great craftsman.

Gongsun Jing's thinking continued. As a patriarch, the top priority is the continuation of the family. All future generations should provide nutrients to the family. Every word and action should put the interests of the family first.

In recent years, with the connivance of his idiot eldest son, Northland merchants have traded with Aduna. A large amount of salt, iron and other important strategic materials produced in the North have been continuously sent to the outside of the Great Wall through this channel. The Wuhuan Hu people's armor arrows have become more and more Excellent.

In the past, one Han was worth five barbarians, not because of how good the Han army's riding skills were or how strong the horses were, but because of the excellent armor and sharp weapons of the Han army.

However, as a large amount of banned ironware flowed into the North, the Yuan family married Tadun and married a large number of craftsmen.

In recent years, the equipment gap between the Hu people and the Han army has been gradually closed.

Every autumn, the Hu people went south to plunder more and more ferociously.

Although the Gongsun family has made a lot of profits from the horse trade, it has become increasingly difficult to deal with barbarian raids in recent years, and it has gradually been unable to deter the North.

Even if Gongsun Jing had the intention to cut off the transaction, the clan has become accustomed to becoming rich by relying on the profits from horse trading in recent years. If he cuts it off, he is afraid that the clan will become resentful.

Since the confrontation between Gongsun Zan and the Yuan family in You and Jizhou, their power has shrunk across the board. Western Liaoning has not been able to produce another Han general with sufficient deterrent power, and there is no longer a team that can intimidate northern Xinjiang.

According to the battle report submitted by Zuo Ping, the captain surnamed Zhao fought a very beautiful battle in Yangqiu Li and made great achievements in military strategy. In time, he may not be able to become a great weapon.

It would be a good idea to recruit such useful talents to fight for the Gongsun family and guard the northern frontier.

He looked at Zhao Yun again. In recent years, his eyes had become worse and worse, and he had to squint to see clearly.

The tall and heroic young man sat behind the desk, calm and resolute, dressed neatly and cleanly, with a dignified appearance, without the rudeness of a warrior.

Gongsun Jing rapped his knuckles on the table: "Yes!"

Hearing this, Gongsun Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but Tian Kai and Zhao Yun knew that things would not be that simple, so they listened carefully to Gongsun Jing's next words.

"The Gongsun family can recommend Captain Zhao as the magistrate of Lulong County."

Lulong County?Gongsun Yan was stunned and looked at Tian Kai and Zhao Yun for help.

She had seen the map of western Liaoning, but at this time the map was too abstract and the stream of consciousness was too abstract. Besides, as a social creature of later generations, how could she know what Lulong County was like?

However, they both had thoughtful looks on their faces, as if they were trying to figure out Gongsun Jing's intentions.

Gongsun Yan's original plan was to recruit the chief official of Linyu County, which was located near Qinhuangdao in later generations. He did not have to face dangers from all directions and could develop shipping.

At this time, Gongsun Jing proposed Lulong County. Gongsun Yan was stunned for a moment. Could it be the Lulongkou where Cao Cao conquered Wuwan in the future?
