The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 434 A New Beginning, The Western Threat
"General Ran, don't be impatient. The Ministry of Finance always puts the supply of the frontier army first." Yu Qian said with a smile.

Seeing Yu Qian talking with a smile, Ran Min was a little irritable. He had a bad temper and was about to get angry when he was stopped by Liu Ji beside him: "General Ran, Your Majesty put 20 horses at Uliasu Terrace. It is a descendant of a first-class sweat horse and a Hun horse. Whether it is explosive power or endurance, it is extremely strong. The household department and the military department have begun to arrange people to tame the horses in Uliasutai. It is expected that [-] adult horses will be delivered in early summer. Horses to the armies."

The Han frontier army has a total of 23 million cavalry, plus the soldiers who need to retire this year.It is enough to complete a large-scale change of horses, which is also the plan that Liu Bian started to prepare three years ago.

Hearing Liu Ji's words, Ran Min scratched his head and remained silent.

"Look at how promising you are, your Xuanwu army can't fight without horses?" Liu Bian said with a smile.

"That's right." Ran Min said blushing.

"Your Majesty, the combined caravan's revenue for the first month has been summarized, with a total revenue of 120 million taels of silver. The 'Han'an Chamber of Commerce' took the top spot, and they earned a total of 30 taels in the Heishui Dufu Mansion and the Wa Kingdom. Silver." Yu Qian continued.

"Oh? Whose name is the 'Han'an Chamber of Commerce'?" Liu Bian asked.

This amount of revenue can already be called terrifying.This is only one month's revenue. If you look at the whole year, it will be at least 300 million taels of revenue.

According to the ratio set by the Ministry of Households, the tax payable is not less than 50 taels.It can already be called a major taxpayer, and it is difficult for ordinary counties to pay such high taxes.

"It's the work of the eldest princess." Yu Qian said.

"Jingyi still has such a talent? Could it be that someone helped her?" Liu Bian asked suspiciously.

Although Liu Jingyi is quite talented in business, it is still hard to believe that she can earn such an income in one month.Both Heishui Dufu Mansion and Wa Kingdom were married to Liu Bian. If they were involved, it would be difficult for Liu Bian to explain to the world.

Hearing Liu Bian's question, Yu Qian shook his head and said: "No one helped. The eldest princess personally led the caravan and transported a large amount of daily necessities to the Heishui Protectorate. The horses were also rented from the Ministry of Household Affairs at market prices. The guard was actually long Recruited by the princess herself, she also wiped out the thieves who had caused trouble for many years in Baishan."

"Okay! As expected of the eldest princess, His Majesty's heir is truly a dragon and phoenix among men!" Ran Min said.

He still loves Liu Jingyi very much, and he often played with her when he was a child.At that time, Liu Bian hadn't conquered the current country, and Liu Jingyi showed extraordinary intelligence all the way.Ran Min also gave Liu Jingyi the ultimate move that he had made at the bottom of the box. Back then, Bao Si joked that he wanted to make a baby kiss with Ran Min.

Now that Ran Min's son, Ran Xiongao, has made the coronation ceremony, Liu Bian still doesn't want to marry Liu Jingyi, at least he won't forcefully arrange her marriage.

"Ran Min, your Xiong Ao has already done the crowning ceremony, right?" Liu Bian asked.

Ran Min cupped his hands and said, "The crowning ceremony last year."

"Jingyi has been kissing you since she was a child. You can let Xiong Ao go back to Chang'an and have more contact with Jingyi. If both children are willing, I will marry them." Liu Bian said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The dog is naughty, so he happened to go to the Military Academy to study and sharpen his mind." Ran Min said, cupping his hands.

He knew that Liu Bian was extremely protective of the calf, and Liu Bian would turn his back on him if his childhood sweetheart talked about it.Although everyone is a good brother along the way, after all, there are differences between monarchs and ministers.In addition, Ran Xiongao has achieved outstanding results in the Dunhuang Army Lecture Hall, and he will go to the Military Academy for further studies next month. If he can get Liu Jingyi's favor, he will give up the chance to seal the country and ask Liu Bian for a marriage.

Bai Qi on the side laughed, and happened to be seen by Liu Bian.

So Liu Bian said, "Bai Qi, how old is your Meier?"

"Your Majesty, my daughter is twenty-eight years old." Bai Qi said.

"It's the same age as Liu Jie, do you want to have a son and daughter with me?" Liu Bian asked.

"It's up to His Majesty to decide." Bai Qi cupped his hands and said.

He is extremely loyal to Liu Bian. Liu Jie improved gunpowder and invented many practical weapons and equipment. The future is limitless.It is definitely not a loss for my daughter to marry Liu Jie.

"The crown prince has not yet married his concubine, and it is not good for the other princes to get married first. Just wait until the emperor chooses his concubine, and then choose an auspicious day to do it." Liu Bian said with a smile.

"It's all up to His Majesty." Bai Qi said with a smile.

He kept thinking about how to reward Liu Jie. Although this kid is unreliable, he is really smart.Bai Qi's daughter is also famous for her beauty. Many people came to propose marriage to their children, but Bai Qi refused.

Originally, Liu Bian wanted Liu Hao to marry his daughter, but Liu Hao had a special status. Whether the Crown Princess married the daughter of a civil official or a general, it would cause a lot of dissatisfaction on the other side.

It's better to let Liu Hao make his own choice, and he can mediate it when the time comes.

The important departments and troops of the Han Dynasty are all served by talents summoned by the system, and their loyalty to Liu Bian is unquestionable.But they are different in civil and military, and the officials under them still have distinctions.This is inevitable, people have desires, and as long as there are desires, there will be struggles.

Today, although the territory of the Great Han Dynasty is vast, its force is beyond the times.However, together with the rebellion in Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou, facing the rebels who were also armed with firearms, the bandit suppression troops still exposed many shortcomings.

What really supports the foundation of Dahan is not various theories, not industrial reform, nor the iteration of science and technology.It has to rely on the Nine Sides Army, they are the foundation for maintaining the rule of the Han Dynasty.

According to the information that came back, Rome has copied gunpowder, and their firearms have also made some developments.It is inevitable that other peoples, threatened with life and death, will also burst out with amazing potential.

Their progress is also reasonable. If the big man does not solve the civil strife, he cannot continue to expand.Otherwise, you will be caught in a dilemma, and it will be dangerous at that time.

The frontier army should not move lightly, and it will take a long time to reform the sinicization of the occupied areas.Rebellions break out in Central Asia and West Asia from time to time. This is not just a collision of two cultures, but also a struggle for belief and the right to survive.

Although the Han Dynasty has no nominal state religion, and Confucianism has no specific gods to worship, but the newly packaged Confucianism is to replace the local god beliefs, and inevitably encounters resistance.

If it weren't for the suppression by the frontier army, many places would have been occupied by the indigenous rebels.Now that Zhuge Liang's compilation of basic works has reached a critical moment, Liu Bian came up with the idea of ​​calling senior commanders from relatively stable areas back to Chang'an to report on their duties and further study.

After all, Liu Bian hadn't seen Xiang Baiqi, Ran Min, Lu Bu, Huo Qubing, Wei Qing and others for a long time.On the other hand, it is to consolidate the relationship with them and let their subordinates know the court's grace.
