Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu - Chapter 986

Huang Wudie clasped her fists and said: “I have already interrogated them. They are all assassins sent by Cao Pi….” Ailang nodded and said with a smile: “My brother-in-law, I’m afraid I want my life in dreams!” Then he asked: “Is that all? Didn’t ask anything else?” The two women looked at each other. Sun Ren said, “There is still another situation.” Ai Lang yelled suddenly. The two women looked at Ai Lang with inexplicable appearances. They didn’t understand why their husband made such a sudden call. Airan hurriedly hit a haha, pressed his right hand on a place of the raised quilt below, and asked the two women: “What else is there?”

Sun Ren said: “According to the assassin’s confession, the reason why they were able to sneak into the city and successfully attack the palace is based on the arrangement of Lord Guo Jia!…”

Ai Lang was stunned, “What what? According to this, did Guo Jia collude with them?” Huang Wudie said: “Listening to those assassins, it seems that Mr. Guo Jia has always been at the end of the Cao family! Cooperate with Cao Pi’s actions within us!” Ai Lang was a little annoyed, and cursed: “Fuck! I was so good to him, he betrayed Lao Tzu! I must kill him!” Then he moved his heart and muttered: ” Wrong! If Guo Jiazhen was Cao Pi’s insider, he would have cooperated with Cao Pi’s operation a long time ago. Even if he could not seize the Luoyang area, it would not be a problem to seize the Guanzhong area! What happened to such an inexplicable assassination operation that had no effect?” Frowning, “This is not right!” said to the two women: “You hand the assassin to Laodian and tell him to torture me severely! I don’t believe what they said will be true!” The two women clasped fists and promised. , Went in a hurry.

Ellen looked thoughtful, thinking about this matter. At this moment, the bulging quilt underneath moved a bit. Ai Lang was surprised, and then roared: “You goblin! See how I clean up you!” He lifted the quilt and got in. Yeah! Suddenly Diao Chan’s exclamation was overwhelmed under the quilt. Immediately after Ellen’s smirk came: “You demon, you can be caught by me!”

…

The next morning, Ailang sat in the study room and listened to Dianwei’s report: “… At the end, he will be tortured to extract a confession according to the lord’s request. Both assassins have changed their previous statements, saying that it was a strategy set up by Sima Yi. , I want to provoke the discord and get rid of Mr. Guo Jia by the hand of the master.”

Ai Lang smiled coldly and cursed: “Do you think I’m so good to cheat?” To Dianwei: “Cut off the two assassins. This is the end of this matter.” Dianwei clasped his fist and promised. Turned around and went.

As soon as Dianwei’s front foot left, Chen Gong’s back foot came in. Seeing Ai Lang hurriedly clasped his fists and asked: “Master, I heard that there was an assassin yesterday?” Ai Lang laughed: “It’s just a few little thieves, the guards will clean them up in twos or twos!” Chen Gong felt relieved. . Ai Lang asked with a smile: “Old Chen, is it because you came in such a hurry for this little thing?”

Chen Gong smiled and said: “The lord is clear, there is indeed another matter that needs to be asked for the lord.” Elaine said, waiting for him to continue. Chen Gong took out a roll of bamboo slips from the sleeve cage, and put them in his hands until the book table. Ai Lang took the bamboo slips behind him, read it again, and said unexpectedly: “Merchants from all over the world have asked for instructions to form their own mercenaries?” Chen Gong said, “In fact, there were such demands among merchants a year ago. The energy is on the battlefield, so the subordinates did not report the matter to the lord. Now the battle has calmed down, and the merchants have sent this request to the subordinates, so the subordinates have to come and disturb the lord!”

Ai Lang rolled up the bamboo slips, stood up, walked to Chen Gong, and asked with a smile: “Looking at you, you seem to agree with this matter?” Chen Gong smiled and clasped his fists and said, “The lord is wise. The subordinates do agree. Regarding this matter. Lord, as our territory becomes wider and wider, the activities of merchants have been unprecedentedly active! And many places where they operate are not areas that our army can control, so it is imperative to form merchants’ own arms. Yes! It is true that if these merchants encounter major attacks outside our control, it will be useless even if they have escorts, but they can eliminate the losses caused by the most frequent small-scale attacks! So the subordinates think, let It is necessary for merchants to set up a voice of mercenary protection. This can also increase our financial income in a variable way, and to a certain extent digest the disabled soldiers who have been discharged from the army. It can be a good thing in one fell swoop!”

Ai Long nodded thoughtfully, and smiled: “Old Chen said it well.” Then he said to Chen Gong: “Then this time the annual meeting will be an additional business meeting. Let the big businessmen from all over the world come to the meeting, except for this one. You can also discuss and discuss other things. With the development of the economy, merchants can be a force that cannot be ignored!” Chen Gongxi said: “The lord is wise! If merchants from all over the world get this news, they will be overjoyed!”

Sight turned to Chengdu.

Sitting in the lobby of his mansion, Liu Bei frowned, watching the report sent by Mi Zhu just now. The atmosphere in the hall seemed a bit oppressive.

Liu Bei put down the report, looked up at Mi Zhu, frowned and said, “The fiscal data in the first half of the year was so bad?” Mi Zhu reluctantly said, “This is also no way. Because too many middle-aged men were enlisted in the army, the handicraft workshop recruited. Without workers, the farmland can only be cultivated by the elderly and children. The efficiency is really limited. Therefore, the fiscal revenue in the first half of the year will shrink so much. This is only in the first half of the year, and many effects have not yet appeared. I estimate the following financial data It will be even more embarrassing.”

Liu Bei frowned, and then asked, “How about the reserves of the government treasury?” Mi Zhu said, “After this series of battles, the treasure house has basically been exhausted. I am worried that during the Spring Festival this year, I am afraid that the army will not be paid. …….”

Liu Bei frowned more tightly, and quickly said, “That’s the same as before. Raise money from the nobles everywhere.” Mi Zhu shook his head, and said, “I’m afraid it will be difficult! We have already raised money from the nobles everywhere, how about it? Is it okay to raise funds again?”

Liu Bei couldn’t help getting anxious, and said in an angry manner: “In this case, what should I do? If you can’t pay the military salary, the consequences will be disastrous!”

Everyone present also showed worry. Mi Zhu hesitated for a moment, clasped his fist and said: “There is a way, but I don’t know what the lord means?” Liu Bei heard that there was a way, and hurriedly said: “Since Zizhong has a way, don’t hesitate!” Mi Zhu said: ” In fact, there are countless money and food in the hands of merchants everywhere!…” Liu Bei’s eyes lit up and he clapped in praise: “Yes, yes! How can I forget about this!” Then he said, “Immediately send orders to all places to supply military supplies. In order to get rid of the chaos, Kuang helped the Han room and asked merchants from all over the country to come up with a considerable amount of money and food! Right now, merchants from all over the country will not refuse to come if they want! Mi Zhu was a little worried and said: “This is actually a last resort! This kind of practice is tantamount to killing chickens and getting eggs. It will have a hundred harm but no benefit for the healthy development of the economy in the future!” Liu Bei said: “Zizhong need not worry. After defeating Lu Bu, I will compensate them.” Mi Zhu sighed and nodded.

After the meeting, Mi Zhu left the General’s Mansion accompanied by a few cronies, and walked towards his mansion along the winding streets on the hillside. At this time, it is almost noon, and it should be the busiest time of the day when the business of various shops is the best. However, there are few pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides also look like a bird. The whole street gives a sense of listlessness. Mi Zhu couldn’t help frowning, feeling worried, but at this moment he felt helpless.

Look back to Luoyang. Ailang finished his day’s official duties and returned to the backyard. While thinking about some current things, while strolling by the lake. At this time, familiar footsteps came from the side. Ai Lang couldn’t help but stopped, turned his head to look around, and saw Yan hurried over, accompanied by her close-fitting maid Tao Hong.

Yan Shi came to Ai Lang and bowed with a bow; “Husband!” Ai Lang asked with a smile, “How is it? Has the matter for the little sister of the trainer been arranged? I am waiting for a wedding drink with her!”

Yan Shi sighed and said, “Don’t mention it, I don’t know what’s going on? Trainer she actually resisted this thing very much! My concubine talked to her about the Zhao son, but I didn’t expect the trainer’s younger sister to be. The reaction turned out to be very fierce, and in the end it turned out to be extremely bad, saying that if she is forced to be a nun, she will be shaved to be a nun!” Ai Lang was taken aback, with an incredible appearance. Then he asked curiously: “You mean nuns? Are there nuns now?” According to Ailang’s concept, shouldn’t monks and nuns appear after the Northern and Southern Dynasties? How come the Han Dynasty? Actually, Buddhism entered China as early as around AD. In this era, temples are no longer rare in the Central Plains. But perhaps because it has not been liked and promoted by the rulers, the influence of Buddhism in this era is far less than that of traditional Chinese religions such as Taoism.

Yan Shi listened to Ai Lang’s question, only feeling inexplicable, and asked inexplicably: “What is meant by ‘there is a nun now?’ Isn’t there always a nun?” Ai Lang made a haha ​​and fooled. Yan’s said in an angry manner: “Stop talking about this, I think you need to have a good talk with the trainer girl!” Ai Lang blinked and asked, “Why?” Yan gave Ai Lang a blank look. , Groaned; “Ask why! Didn’t the husband treat her as a sister? She has such dangerous thoughts now, shouldn’t you as a brother enlighten her?” Ai Lang suddenly realized, smiled and nodded: “It should be! It should be! I think I would choose a day instead of hitting the sun. I will go to her and have a good chat today.
