Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 52 Putting Business on the Agenda

Five days later, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, and Cui Yan, who came to discuss matters on behalf of Meng Gong, were all sitting in the hall of the State Mufu in Yecheng.

Moreover, the meeting this time is more serious, and the content of the discussion is also related to the future development of Jizhou.

Even Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang County, came to participate in the discussion, and it was the first time Zhang Yang participated in such a discussion.

There are two newcomers sitting on the last seat in the hall, both of them are about 50 to [-] years old, and they are well-known scribes.

"Okay, since everyone is here, let's talk about some of my plans." Han Wu glanced at the counselors around him and said.

Han Fu sat in the honorable position in the hall, and he had hardly discussed matters with the corporals under his command so seriously.

Han Wu personally presided over this meeting, and it was very serious, but Han Fu was very interested in it.

"It's rare for my son to take government affairs so seriously. If that's the case, then as a father, he should also watch from the sidelines and make up his mind."

Han Fu smiled lightly. Although he still hated Tian Feng's speaking style, he didn't care so much anymore.

Tian Feng managed the Bohai Navy perfectly. From this point, Han Fu looked at Tian Feng with admiration.

Tian Feng coughed lightly, and said to Han Wu: "My lord, I think that the plan you told us two days ago is not appropriate."

Standing up and bowing to Han Wu, Tian Feng didn't even salute first like Han Fu.

He is a completely straightforward person. Tian Feng is such an upright person, he will talk to anyone first when he thinks of it.

When Han Wu heard Tian Feng's opinion on his plan, he was immediately interested: "Oh? Mr. Yuan Hao, but it's okay to say."

After taking a sip of tea, Han Wu wanted to calm down first. He was also worried that Tian Feng's words would be too aggressive and he would be angry with himself.

Waving to Tian Feng, Han Wu expressed that he didn't mind his objection to his previous plan.

Tian Feng glanced at the two literati beside him, and then spoke.

"My lord, your plan is to strengthen the development of commerce, but businessmen are low-class. It is the national policy to develop slash farming and suppress commerce."

"My son wants to increase Jizhou's tax revenue by developing commerce. I think this is contrary to the guidance of the sages."

"So, I think you should focus on the development of the army or the convenience of the government and the people, not business."

Guantun refers to the fields controlled by the Jizhou army, while Mintun refers to the fields of the officials, which are planted by the common people.

Tian Feng's words were so straightforward that even Ju Shou, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help pursing his lips.

Although Jushou is also the kind of upright loyalist, he is much better than Tian Feng.

Jushou's integrity lies in that he will never compromise any dignitaries in his work, but he attaches great importance to speaking.

As soon as Tian Feng finished speaking, Han Wu shook his head. He was not satisfied with Tian Feng's suggestion.

Moreover, Han Wu also felt that Tian Feng's words were too blunt, directly involving his disobedience to the sages.

He was already at the stage of rebellion, and Han Wu almost yelled out that he wanted to disobey the sages.

Taking a deep breath, Han Wu took a sip of tea, but forcibly restrained himself from shouting.

Han Wu has thought about developing business more than once or twice, and he must do it.

As for how to do it and when to do it, these can be discussed, but it is absolutely impossible for him to never develop business.

Seeing Han Wu shaking his head, the literati in their 40s sitting at the bottom seat smiled and said, "My lord, in fact, you don't have to worry about this matter."

"Jizhou is the most affluent place in the north, and you have so many generals under your command, it is more than enough to guard Jizhou."

"But with a large army, more food and grass are needed, so land development has naturally become Jizhou's top priority."

This man smiled slightly, he was invited to Jizhou by the scouts under Han Wu's command who searched for talents.

This person's name is Guan Ning, his style name is You'an, and he is from Zhuxu in Beihai County. He is a hermit who lives on the border of Youzhou.

The person next to him is Bing Yuan, who traveled from Beihai to Jizhou by himself to join Han Fu.

Many deeds of Han Wu attracted Bing Yuan, coupled with Guan Ning's letters, Bing Yuan also came to join Han Fu.

These two are still good friends, they are called "Yilong" together with Hua Xin, and they are scholars of the same level as Zheng Xuan.

Cui Yan naturally knew Guan Ning and Bing Yuan, and according to seniority, he wanted to call Guan Ning his uncle.

Guan Ning also stood up, smiled gracefully at Han Fu, then clasped his fists and nodded.

After expressing his courtesy to Han Fu, Guan Ning said, "My lord, I think your plan has merit."

"It's just that for Jizhou, the first priority now should be to develop troops and store food and grass, not commerce."

Guan Ning said one more sentence, and Bing Yuan beside him also nodded slightly, agreeing with Guan Ning's words.

Ju Shou frowned.

He couldn't make up his mind about the young master's business plans.

If it's just Jizhou, then the son's strategy is indeed feasible now.

But now Bingzhou is also a big trouble.

Bingzhou has just been included in the territory, except for Zhang Yang's Shangdang County, other places need to be developed.

Especially barren land, there is a lot in Bingzhou, once developed, it will be fertile land.

But the land in Jizhou no longer needs to be developed.

Because to continue to develop the fields in Jizhou, it is necessary to reclaim the mountains and forests.

Reclaiming mountains and forests requires too much manpower and material resources. As the order of Yecheng, Jushou is well aware of this.

Han Wu nodded and said, "Mr. You'an is right. Now Jizhou is indeed facing the problem of military strength and food and grass."

"However, business also needs to be developed. If that's the case, I think it's best to try it in the vicinity of Ye City first. What do you think?"

"Ye City is just under the nose of the State Shepherd's Mansion, and there are many aristocratic families around it, so you can give it a try."

"Mr. Gong and you can also control the commercial development of Yecheng. I am very relieved. You see, how about this?"

Han Wu asked Tian Feng, but Tian Feng didn't speak again.

He was actually not sure whether Han Wu's plan would succeed.

At present, Tian Feng only believes that it is not suitable for business development in Bohai County.

There are too many aristocratic families in Bohai County, and many fields are controlled by the aristocratic families, and the land still needs to be controlled.

However, almost all the aristocratic families here in Yecheng were suppressed by Han Wu, and they no longer dared to make trouble.

In addition, the Zhen family controls the salt business, although they don't make much money, they have developed.

Han Fu frowned. In fact, he also wanted to try the development of business, but he didn't dare to try it lightly.

Cui Yan stood up, he considered for two seconds, and then said: "My son, General Meng said before he came that he personally does not support the development of business plans in Qinghe County."

"However, the general is very supportive of the development of commerce in other places in Jizhou. There are frequent wars in Qinghe County, so it is difficult to develop commerce."

Cui Yan didn't talk about the past with his uncle, but first reported General Meng Gong's thoughts to Han Wu.

After Han Wu heard Cui Yan's words, he nodded slightly: "General Puyu supports my opinion, I am very happy."

"Besides, Qinghe County is indeed not suitable for business development. It's better to start near Yecheng."

"Since this is the case, let's try the business development plan first. The scope is only limited to the vicinity of Yecheng. The two counties of Anping and Julu."

Han Wu was very satisfied that Meng Gong supported his plan. His injected identity was, after all, a general in the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty attached great importance to the development of commerce, so Meng Gong would definitely support Han Wu's plan.

Han Fu is frowning now, he knows that once the business development plan is implemented, then he will have to be busy again.

At the beginning of business development, tax revenue will be greatly reduced, I am afraid that the impact on all aspects will not be small.

Guan Ning stood up again, and he said lightly: "My lord, if you believe me, I am willing to assist you and my virtuous brother to handle this matter."

Seeing that Guan Ning was willing to take charge of this business reform, Han Wu was overjoyed. He needed such a talent to help him.

"Okay! Then I will trouble Senior Youan. In this case, I would like to ask Senior Genju to serve as the prefect of Shuofang County and Jiuyuan County, and develop Bingzhou."

Han Wu smiled with satisfaction, and at the same time he asked Bing Yuan a question.

Bing original radical moment.

When he heard that Han Wu directly wanted to let himself be the prefect of the two counties of Bingzhou, he felt the kindness of knowledge and encounter in his heart.

"My lord, I think highly of you, so I will definitely develop Jiuyuan and Shuofang counties for you!"

Bing Yuan didn't talk much, but his talent was enough to control these two counties.

In addition, there is Chen Qingzhi in Yanmen County to resist Xianbei and Huns, Han Wu naturally rest assured that Bingyuan will develop Jiuyuan.

"Okay! If that's the case, then my affairs will be dealt with. Then it's my father's affairs, so I won't bother you any more."

Han Wu was very happy. Han Fu didn't have any objection at today's meeting.

Business development is what Han Wu must do.

But if Han Fu opposed his plan, no one would dare to do it.

Han Wu asked himself that he did not have the strength to control the change. He could only do macro-control and could not do it himself.

Han Wu glanced at Guo Jia and signaled him to leave with him.

At most, Guo Jia manages military affairs in normal times, and he is too lazy to get involved in government affairs.

Guo Jia also directly understood the look in the eyes of the lord, he was trying to fulfill his promise.

Han Wu made a bet with Guo Jia before that if he could invite Xun You from the Xun family again, Han Wu would take Guo Jia to be free and easy.

Guo Jia really lived up to Han Wu's expectations. He directly invited Xun You, who had returned home because of the rebellion of Jizhou soldiers, to come out again.

After leaving the State Shepherd's Mansion, Han Wu went straight to the street, followed by two elite bloodthirsty tiger guards.

Both of them are very strong in force, their force value has reached close to sixty, and they are wearing battle armor.

Not far from Han Wu's surroundings, there was another vaguely hidden aura.

Wang Yue was always protecting Han Wu, pretending to be an old man.

When Wang Yue saw that the direction Han Wu and Guo Jia were going turned out to be an entertainment venue for men and women, he couldn't help but sighed helplessly.

The young man was full of anger, Wang Yue didn't want to worry about these things, but insisted on following Han Wu and protecting him comprehensively.
