Beast King Three Kingdoms

()(It’s only a few collections away, and it’s three hundred. Do you dare to let me do three changes tomorrow? Please collect, please recommend!)

In April of the fourth year of Chuping, the reforms under Yuan Shu's rule had achieved initial results, and all ministries were gradually on track.

Not long after, news came from Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, saying that the water army had been formed and had started training.

Yuan Shu is not worried about this, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are both rare navy generals, and with new warships, I believe they will be able to train a navy that is the best in the world.

At the same time, Yuan Shu's goal is not just inland rivers, the sea is the place he yearns for.

Everything was in order, so Yuan Shu felt relieved, took the time to summon Mo Yun, and asked about a major matter - papermaking.

As early as in Luoyang, Yuan Shu ordered Mo Yun to start developing papermaking techniques, but unfortunately the progress was not very smooth, until Yuan Shu occupied Lianghuai and Yangzhou, it was still in the foreseeable future.

"If I knew I would travel through time, I should have studied more!" Every time this time came, Yuan Shu felt very depressed and would sigh similarly.

After a while, Mo Yun arrived and sat down after seeing the ceremony.

"How about papermaking?" Yuan Shu asked impatiently as soon as Mo Yun sat down.

"Don't worry, my lord! We've made a big breakthrough, and we can finish it in a while." Mo Yun replied.

When Yuan Shu heard this, his face was full of black lines, and he thought, "I have heard this sentence tens of thousands of times."

"The matter of making paper is very important, you must pay attention to it." Yuan Shu had no choice but to let Mo Yun conjure paper out of nothing, so he had to solemnly tell him to settle the matter.

After Mo Yun left, Yuan Shu summoned Yuan Feng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance, who was the head housekeeper of the Yuan family.

"Uncle Feng! How much money and food are in stock now?" Yuan Feng is over fifty now, and Yuan Shu has served three generations of the Yuan family, two of which were the head of the family, so Yuan Shu respects him very much.

"Report to the Patriarch! There are not many coins left, about billions of dollars, and a lot of grain and grass, tens of millions of stones." Yuan Feng replied respectfully. Uncle, but Yuan Feng has never been proud of being favored, and he is conscientious in his work, which is what Yuan Shu appreciates.

In the past three years, Yuan Shuzhi has had a bumper harvest every year, and with the grain and grass knocked out from the aristocratic family, Yuan Shu now has an astonishing amount of grain and grass.

In comparison, coins are much less.

Yuan Shu frowned slightly, and asked with some doubts, "Why are coins so rare?"

Since Yuan Shu opened furniture such as tables, chairs, and cabinets, the commerce under his rule has flourished, and the taxes alone have exceeded billions. In addition, Yuan's shop has flourished, and the inventory of tens of billions is also scarce. Now there are only billions of dollars. It is too different from expectations.

"Could it be that the Yuan family didn't pay taxes because of their status?" Thinking of this, Yuan Shu's eyes flickered coldly. He said that no matter if it is a family or an official relative, they must pay taxes according to the law. This is Yuan Shu's bottom line.If the Yuan family dared to violate this bottom line, he would never show mercy.

Yuan Feng naturally didn't know Yuan Shu's thoughts, and said seriously: "The owner of the family spent a lot of money on this change, and almost used up all the coins in stock. The billions of coins were saved by the old slave with great difficulty."

"Ugh!" Yuan Shu didn't expect it to be his own fault, touched his nose, slightly embarrassed.

"Patriarch!" Yuan Feng hesitated for a moment, and said, "Nowadays there is a lot of grain and grass in stock. If the Patriarch needs coins, he may transfer some of the grain to brew fine wine."

The prosperity of Yuan's shop not only brought about the prosperity of delicious food, but also pushed fine wine to all parts of Dahan.

Last year, Mo Yun had brewed high-purity fine wine, known as the immortal drunk.

The birth of fairy wine is admired by everyone in the world.

Yuan Shu adhered to the principle that rare things are more valuable, and did not brew high-purity immortal drunk so much that the price of immortal drunk was comparable to gold. Even so, there was still a price but no market.

Immortal drunk is so rare, so most of them are sold under Yuan Shu's rule, and there are almost no other princes' territories.

Yuan Feng knew that the other princes also knew about the existence of Immortal Drunk, and as long as Yuan Shu was willing to sell it, they would scramble to buy it no matter what the price was.

At that time, countless coins will naturally flow into Yuan Shu's pocket.

"No way!" Yuan Shu shook his head, and said firmly, "Nowadays, the world is in chaos, people everywhere are struggling to survive, and there are no longer a few people who can eat each other. In this troubled world, food and grass are the most precious things."

When Yuan's family opened the shop, although Yuan Shu made a lot of wine, he only used the old grain accumulated for many years. He never touched a single grain of the new grain, so it can't be regarded as a waste.

Yuan Shu, who has the memory of later generations, clearly knows that the two major factors restricting the expansion of the cold weapon era are population and food and grass. As long as these two problems are solved, the country can expand infinitely.

Now the population under Yuan Shu's rule has almost exceeded [-] million, and at the same time, he is still recruiting refugees. According to the population ratio, Yuan Shu's tens of millions of stones, grain and grass are already a lot, but if you count the consumption of war and various expenses, tens of millions Shi Liangcao didn't feel too much.

After Yuan Feng listened, he stopped persuading him.

Looking at Yuan Feng with a strict eye, Yuan Shu felt very bored in his heart, thinking: "This old guy looks like a wooden man, really boring."

After asking about other things, Yuan Shu let Yuan Feng leave.

Yuan Shu was the only one left in the lobby, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was recalling the major events that happened in the fourth year of Chuping in his mind.

"In the four years of Chuping, Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou seems to be the only major event." After thinking for a long time, Yuan Shu only thought of one major event, and the others can only be regarded as trivial matters.

In the name of avenging his father's revenge, Cao Cao stormed Xuzhou, slaughtered cities and animals wherever he passed, leaving no blade of grass behind, which shocked the world.

However, what surprised Yuan Shu was that before Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, the two sides should have fought a big battle. Tao Qian aggressively entered Rencheng, but was defeated by Cao Cao, winning more than ten cities in a row.

But for some reason, there has been no news?This made Yuan Shu a little puzzled.

"Forget it! It's none of my business to do what you want to do!" Yuan Shu shook his head and said with a smile.

Yuan Shu is very clear about his own situation. Even if he wants to go out this year, the conditions are not allowed. New laws are being implemented and reforms are being implemented in various places. Jiangdong and Shanyue are waiting to be dealt with. In addition to the newly formed navy, everything is a big deal.

"Hey! Be more stable this year and don't provoke other people!"

<, which surprised Yuan Shu.

"Tao Qian and Liu Biao are here? Yuan Tu, are you sure the news is correct?" Yuan Shu asked Feng Ji with a face full of disbelief.

Xun You, Zhang Hong, Liu Ye, Man Chong and others were also a little surprised.

It was no surprise that Liu Biao came to attack everyone, and after a little thought, he guessed Liu Biao's intentions.

But when Tao Qian came to commit the crime, everyone was a little puzzled.

Xuzhou's strength is indeed not weak, especially the food and grass is sufficient, but compared with Yangzhou, Xuzhou is far behind, and everyone really can't figure out why Tao Qian suddenly came to attack.

"My lord! How dare you report such a major event? Liu Biao has already gone north and entered the border of Xiangyang. General Zhongye asked the lord whether he should fight back; while Tao Qian's general Cao Bao led an army of [-] troops and stationed in Jiangdu. General Wei Yan ordered General Dong Xi to lead the army. [-] soldiers stationed in Qu'a for defense, waiting for the Lord's order." Feng Ji Zhengse replied.

"Impossible!" Yuan Shu frowned and murmured, "What the hell is that old man Tao Qian thinking?"

Xun You and Feng Ji exchanged glances with each other, and then saw Xun You came out and said, "My lord! Tao Qian should be afraid of the lord's power and want to weaken the lord's strength."

"Huh?" Yuan Shu looked at Xun You and asked, "But I have no intention of invading Xuzhou."

Xun You laughed and said, "How does Tao Qian know about my lord's thoughts?"

"That's true!" Yuan Shu touched his chin and said.

At this time, Zhang Hong came out and said, "As Hong expected, this incident was planned by Liu Biao."

"Oh?" Yuan Shu asked curiously, "Zigang's words must be reasonable."

Zhang Hong clasped his hands and said, "The last time the emperor named the Lord General Pingnan to control the military affairs of the three states. Liu Biao's Jingzhou is in this list. It is conceivable that he will never sit still and wait for death."

After a pause, Zhang Hong seemed to be talking to himself: "It seems that Liu Biao also has capable people under his command if he can persuade Xuzhou Tao Qian, so we should not underestimate them."

Yuan Shu's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "There are so many talents in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao has capable people under his command. If not, with Liu Biao, a weak scholar, how could Jiangnan be pacified?"

"Liu Biao and Tao Qian are advancing together, I don't know how my lord plans to deal with it?" Liu Ye asked.

It was the first time to participate in such an important decision-making, Liu Ye and Man Chong were still a little cautious, unlike Xun You, Feng Ji and others who freely expressed their opinions as they wished.

"Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? Since Liu Biao and Tao Qian are so 'gracious', why should we 'entertain' them well?" Yuan Shu said pointingly, with a smile on his face. look.

Xun You and the others also smiled when they heard this.
