The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 35
The Spring Festival of the sixth year of Guanghe came as one wished.

On the day of the Spring Festival, the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce announced the expansion of the seats of the six elders, namely the Hongnong Yang family, the Wu family in Shu, the Cai family in Jingzhou, the Mi family in Xuzhou, the Lu family in Wujun, and the Ma family in Jingzhou.

When the news came out, it immediately set off a big disturbance in Luoyang.

Originally, all the aristocratic families in Luoyang were quite greedy for fairy wine, perfume, and soap, and wanted to get a piece of it.

But the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce has not let go, and the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce was established by Liu Yu.

Liu Yu is the general of Zhenbei, the champion, and there are [-] Beifu troops practicing outside Luoyang city.

The powerful chamber of commerce will definitely not be easy to provoke.

Therefore, the Luoyang family can only be greedy, or establish a good relationship with the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce, and seek the elder seat of the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce.

But I didn't want to, the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce actually released news to expand the seats of the six elders again, but they didn't exist.

All the top families in Luoyang were unhappy.

"The Yang family doesn't say anything about the six elder seats. What is the Lu family in Wu County? The head of the family is just a small captain. How can he become an elder of the powerful chamber of commerce?"

"That's right. Although the Cai family in Jingzhou is considered a wealthy family in Jingzhou, it doesn't rank well in the entire Han family."

……

With the release of the seats of the six elders by the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce, it caused quite a stir in Luoyang.

However, no matter how unhappy the Luoyang aristocratic family was, such as Sikong Yuanfeng, the head of the Yuan family in Runan, such as Dahonghe and Cao Song, the great minister of the dynasty, also sent news to Liu Yu, revealing that they wanted a member of the family to be the elder of the powerful chamber of commerce.

However, they were all rejected by Liu Yu.

If he really wanted to pull powerful families into the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce, Liu Yu could definitely pull all the officials from the current dynasty into the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce.

Such a powerful chamber of commerce will surely become a giant soon, but if it is too ostentatious, Muxiu will be destroyed by the forest wind.

Moreover, he, Liu Yu, planned that the seats of the eight elders would be of great use in the future.

Therefore, Liu Yu politely refused all the requests from the top aristocratic families in Luoyang.

He also threatened to the outside world that within a few years, the Strong Chamber of Commerce will only set up these eight elders.

Liu Yu's response made many top Luoyang families unhappy, but there was nothing they could do.

Liu Yu is not weak now.

Cannot join the powerful chamber of commerce.

The eight elder families of the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce suddenly became popular, and became the objects of curry favor and compliments from many families.

Everyone understands that even a small family can grow rapidly with the backing of a powerful chamber of commerce with the elder seat of the powerful chamber of commerce.

Moreover, considering the high price of the Immortal Drunk, the sales are booming and the quantity is scarce.

The eight with the elder seats of the powerful chamber of commerce are even more popular.

It is not surprising that Liu Yu asked the eight elder families to pay 500 million yuan and 20 shi for the elder seat fee every year.

The eight elders all handed in within a short period of time.

For example, the Lu family in Wu County, who had no money, had not opened their mouths, and several top families in Luoyang lent it to Lu Jun.

It was almost no surprise that 4000 million yuan and 160 million shi of grain went into Liu Yu's pocket again, and the one-year elder seat fee alone made Liu Yu rich.

Dahan Spring Festival.

In Luoyang City, the powerful chamber of commerce stirred up the situation.

……

Inside the palace, the atmosphere was depressing.

This depression.

After Liu Hong was inhumane and disgusted with women, it formed.

There is no maid of honor around Liu Hong, only eunuchs.

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there is a small pavilion full of various maps. If you look closely, you will find that the maps on it include Yanmen, Yunzhong, Xihe County, Yuyang, Youbeiping, and even the vast territory of Xianbei. map.

Standing in the center of the pavilion, Liu Hong looked at various maps, especially the map of the territory of Xianbei that stretched thousands of miles from east to west and nearly [-] miles from north to south. He couldn't help but sigh:
"This Xianbei clan is really powerful. It is worthy of the territory that Tan Shihuai laid down at the beginning. This has completely occupied the homeland of the Huns."

Listening to Liu Hong's emotion, Zhang Rang couldn't help but flatteringly smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, this is the map that the servant found in the storeroom. Do you want to look for it again?"

"No need." Listening to Zhang Rang's words, Liu Hong waved his hands, looked at the map on the ground, and couldn't help sighing again:
"The map is the same, but the territory is changing. Yanmen County, Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County, and Dingxiang County are the four counties in the north of Bingzhou. However, they are now occupied by the Xianbei, Huns, and Wuhuan. There are too many encroachments, and the sheriff of the four counties is almost just hanging up a vacant post."

"Even afraid of revenge from other races, Yanmen Pass did not dare to repair it."

"Everyone in the frontier counties of the Han Dynasty looks like this. How can I learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and send troops to Xianbei, and the Xianbei who beat them fled far away to Monan."

In the pavilion, Liu Hong sighed for a while, making Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong who were standing beside him dumbfounded, but they were not surprised.

Ever since Liu Hong was inhumane, he kept thinking about learning from Emperor Qin and Han Wu to do things, and he really worked hard to learn something.

Such as this map full of pavilions is Liu Hong's determination.

However, Liu Hong's sighs and sighs made them speechless.

They were able to get to the top because they relied on making Liu Hong happy, and they got to where they are now through fighting tricks in the court. They had no choice but to fight to regain their homeland.

"Actually it's not impossible!"

Suddenly, just when Liu Hong was feeling and sighing, and Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were helpless, a voice sounded from outside the pavilion.

Liu Hong, Zhang Rang, and Zhao Zhong were all taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other, and all looked out of the pavilion.

But the person who made the sound was a rather handsome, tall young eunuch.

Zhang Rang saw that the voice was a guard and the eunuch frowned suddenly, and said displeasedly:
"Your Majesty is thinking about something, why are you so talkative, go back and get ten sticks!"

"and many more!"

Just when the handsome, tall young eunuch was about to be dragged down, Liu Hong's voice suddenly sounded, Liu Hong looked at the little eunuch and said:

"What did you just say? You said it's not impossible. What do you want to say?"

The young eunuch was released back, and he did not neglect immediately, he cupped his hands and said to Liu Hong:
"Returning to Your Majesty, as Your Majesty said, Yanmen County, Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Dingxiang County and the four northern counties of Bingzhou have been invaded too much by the Xianbei, Huns, and Wuhuan people, but it is the invasion of Taizhou There are too many, so many northern people have hatred with those foreign races, and the slaves have learned the art of war since childhood, but there is a way that they can deal with these foreign races without sending troops to the court or offending these foreign races."

The young eunuch seemed quite confident in his words, speaking neither humble nor overbearing, but the words fell into Liu Hong's ears, which shocked Liu Hong, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.

What did they hear?
Can these alien races be dealt with without sending troops to the court, or offending these alien races?
"How is this possible, you kid, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

Zhang Rang came to his senses first, and said to the young eunuch.

But Liu Hong waved his hand, looked at the little eunuch with interest, and said:

"Let's see, if you can really deal with these alien races without sending troops to the court, and without having to offend these alien races, this is a great achievement in the world, and I have a big reward!"

Hearing Liu Hong's permission, the young eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, alien races have been rampant in the north of the Han Dynasty for decades, and they should have caused great harm to the northern people. I am afraid that there are many people in the north who have blood feuds with alien races. If these people are gathered together and given certain training, will they Will it form a powerful force to retaliate against Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan?"

The young eunuch didn't say too much, but Liu Hong's eyes brightened even if he tried it a little bit and threw a lead.

"Gather people who have blood feuds with Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan together? Take revenge on the three tribes? This... This is really a good idea. These people are not soldiers of the imperial court. Even if they cause great harm to these alien races, then It's just revenge, how wonderful!"

Liu Hong was suddenly excited, walking back and forth, as if a new world had been opened up.

Liu Hong was excited, while Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong couldn't help looking at the young eunuch with some suspicion.

"Okay, this idea is very good. However, it needs to be added, such as how to train them, how to ensure that they are strong enough to deal a huge blow to alien races, how to ensure their food, weapons, etc., all of which need to be considered and discussed."

Liu Hong turned around and looked at the young eunuch excitedly and said:

"What's your name? You said that you learned the art of war since childhood, and it was you who mentioned it. What is the solution to what I proposed?"

Liu Hong kept asking the young eunuch.

The young eunuch didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly replied:

"Return to Your Majesty, slave girl Tong Guan, from Sili."

"Your Majesty's question, I have already thought about it, I have already thought about it, and I think that as long as I get the support of one person, I can solve it all!"

Tong Guan's respectful voice rang out, shocking Liu Hong. He really had a countermeasure, and became even more excited, saying:
"Tong Guan, right? Say, if it can be done, I will reward you!"

At this time, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong looked at Tong Guan's gazes changed and became serious.
