When Huangfusong saw this, he resigned and left after a while, without knowing where he was going.In fact, he knew better in his heart that he had a feud with Dong Zhuo, and if he stayed in Luoyang, he would definitely be persecuted by Dong Zhuo.

When leaving, by the way, he persuaded Zhu Jun, who was still serving as Henan Yin, to take him away with him.

In mid-October, Liu Tao personally presided over the border trade with Budugen and the Southern Huns. He had just returned to Jinyang, but Lu Zhi invited him over.

"I just came back..." Liu Tao's business trip lasted five days, and he still wanted to go back for the first time to see Cai Yan's situation.It's just that since Lu Zhi invited him, as a disciple, he couldn't help but go.

As a result, when they arrived at Lu Zhi's mansion, as soon as they arrived at the lobby, they saw Lu Zhi talking with the two of them.

When Liu Tao saw these two people, he was a little confused: How could they be here?By the way, he didn't seem to send a letter to the two of them, did he?In other words, why didn't the two people who sent the letter over by themselves didn't come? !

"Greetings, teacher, two uncles..." Although he was confused, Liu Tao still stepped forward to salute.

"Are you back?" Lu Zhi nodded, "How is the border trade this time?"

"I exchanged a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, I also exchanged a lot of fur and cashmere, and I also earned a lot of gold and jewelry five baht." Liu Tao replied truthfully.

Ever since the milder existence of tea was accepted by the nobles on the prairie, and Bu Dugen served as a promotion committee member, he quickly promoted things on the prairie wildly.

Since there are relatively few tea leaves and the price is higher than that of rhubarb, the nobles on the grassland now think that rhubarb is only eaten by ordinary people, and they should drink tea at their level.

The weather this year is also very weird. It’s more than July, and the weather is actually a little cool. Just two days ago, there was snow on the side of the cloud.Fortunately, the wheat planted has a high ability to resist cold, so there should be no problem.

The weather is cold, drinking a cup of hot tea in a tent, or warming a pot of wine, and serving a piece of barbecue, that is the bliss in the world.Needless to say, the sales of wine are obviously also very high.

The cattle, sheep, furs, and wool of the Hu people were all traded, so some gold, silver, jewelry, and even five baht were necessary to trade.Most of them still barter there, but they also use money.

The five baht coin of the Han Dynasty is a mainstream currency, just like the Song Dynasty, copper coins can even become the official currency of the neighboring island country.

It's just five baht on the grasslands, the ones from the Xiongnu are okay, maybe they are still earned by doing business.But those from Xianbei probably came from a different path.It's just that money is money after all, and as long as its value is recognized, it can be spent.

There are a lot of blood diamond transactions in later generations, and there is no mention of the armed forces in those places, who are so ashamed that they commit suicide.People on some platforms in later generations are even more ruthless, directly clamoring: Why should you be ashamed of the money you earn with your strength?

At present, Liu Tao has no way to dislike anything, so he can only accept everything according to the order, and then slowly settle it in the future...

"By the way, I brought back some new products from the wool workshop this time, and I will bring them to the teacher!" Liu Tao immediately remembered something, and hurriedly greeted his followers and brought the things over.

Not long after, a few clothes were brought over.Of course, there are also a few bolts of wool woven into cloth.

"The wool workshop spent several months trying, and finally found a way to make the plush not lose its elasticity and softness, but also remove its smell. After spinning into wool, it is used to make garments and cloth. " Liu Tao introduced.

The three of them were very curious about this, so they came over to have a look.This cloth is a bit like burlap, not so silky, but not so prickly or hard.It is rare that it is very warm, much better than linen.

"Is this cloth made of plush?" Huangfusong suddenly realized something.

"Yes, since three years ago, I have been buying cashmere in the grasslands, and then I have been trying to get to this level. Maybe there is a little smell of sheep, but it doesn't affect it. Not only this kind of plush cloth, but also felt cloth. It was made a little earlier. Plush products may become a new product in the future." Liu Tao replied.

At the same time, because he almost monopolized this business, Liu Tao and those who invested in this thing must have made blood.Counting it, Lu Yan actually had a stake in it at that time.It's just that Zhu Jun and Huangfusong are here, so it's not easy for him to say it in public.

"This thing is good. If it can be popularized, many people should be able to survive the winter." Zhu Jun came from a poor family, so he valued this thing more.Even though Jiangnan is not that cold, people will still freeze to death in winter.

The average temperature of this year is indeed lower than that of later generations, after all, there is almost no greenhouse effect.

After chatting for a few words like this, Lu Zhi motioned for everyone to sit down, and then began to get down to business.It's very simple to put it bluntly, the two of you already know very well that the 'Prince's Association' in Luoyang is obviously a fake.

Then Yuan Shao's statement is obviously closer to the truth.The young emperor and the prince's association have fallen, and the throne is vacant.They thought further, and it was almost certain that Luoyang would become a big battlefield.

Mainly still confused, the emperor is gone, who will be the new king?The object of my allegiance and service is gone, so what should I do.In the end, it occurred to me that Lu Zhi was in Bingzhou, so it was better not to engage in business, so I came here to ask for advice.

"If you two don't dislike my small temple here, I welcome you two to serve here in Bingzhou." Of course, Liu Tao didn't intend to let these two 'uncles' go.After all, regardless of ability or prestige, both of them can help him.

"Oh, then how do you plan to arrange us?" Zhu Jun didn't refuse, and of course he didn't agree, he just asked a simple half-joking question.

"Uncle Zhu must be joining the army. As long as you are willing, the four border towns will be handed over to you directly. Even the current General Pingdi, Lu Bu, will be under your command." Liu Tao immediately offered a price.

If Zhu Jun helps guard the rear, Lu Bu can even be transferred to the front to lead the troops.Unlike those doves, Zhu Jun is obviously a hawk. Liu Tao appreciates his character and style very much.

"Oh, what about me?" Huangfu Song had to ask.

"How about I leave the work to you?" Lu Zhi said suddenly.

P.S

Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!

Chapter 409

"So willing?" Huangfusong looked at Lu Zhi with some surprise, not to mention his official position, which is second only to the state shepherd.

"You don't know, the old man came to Bingzhou to take care of the elderly. It turned out that this kid was lucky and caused trouble everywhere, so he had to go out to help him. Now that Yizhen is here, then I will retire!" Lu Zhi laughed, " Besides, I am still very interested in taking up this position in literature.”

Compared with communicating with the aristocratic family and alleviating class conflicts, Lu Zhi values ​​education more.Let's be clear, Liu Tao's future direction is very likely to be directly related to enlightenment.In particular, he proposed that talents should be selected through examinations, which he very much agrees with.

It can only be said that there are too few scholars at present, and there are too many things and the situation is too chaotic. This plan has not been implemented.But this plan will be implemented in the end, so Lu Zhi intends to help watch it.

"Well, it turns out that you actually planned to let me take over the mess for you!" Huangfusong laughed and cursed immediately when he heard this, "This can't be done in vain, you have to buy me a drink no matter what!"

"How about preparing Jiuxian Niang for you to cellar for three years? It is said that cellaring for five years is the most suitable, but three years is not bad." Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows.

"Are you showing off that you have a good apprentice?" Huangfusong was speechless, let alone the five-year cellar, the three-year cellar for Jiuxian Niang, which can only be drunk here.

"You can accept one if you are capable?" Lu Zhi did not refute.

Watching the three of them start talking one after another, Liu Tao suddenly felt a little embarrassed that he was here with him.But these three are elders, so they can't be fooled.And Huangfusong and Zhu Jun are willing to help him, he is also very happy.

The veterans in both military and political circles are much higher than him in terms of experience and influence.Even in action, I hope that Zhu Jun will be his deputy. These two people, no, including Lu Zhi, will stand on his platform. Many things will be much easier.

"It's not just us..." Zhu Jun said suddenly, "My eldest son, Zhu Hao, will also come over. This kid is considered to be a bit good. If Zhou Mu doesn't dislike it, he can just give him a job."

"Where is that, Brother Wenming's talent, Liu admires it very much. How about Qu Cai being the captain of Yunzhong first, and then reuse it later?" Liu Tao tried to ask, civilization is Zhu Hao's nickname.

After thinking about it, I tried to ask: "Brother Changxin won't come? Although he is the governor of Jiaozhou, the scholar family has the final say over there..."

Zhu Fu, the second son of Zhu Jun, replaced Jia Cong as the governor of Jiaozhou five years ago, and he was the governor of Jiaozhou when he was in his twenties, which is what he should have.However, Liu Tao remembered that this person had a bad reputation in history and extorted money in office.I remember hearing that Zhu Hao died in office, so he raised his troops to go north, but was betrayed and killed by his subordinates on the way.

"Strictly speaking, the long letter is not from me." Zhu Jun sighed after hearing the words.This Zhu Fu was the son of Zhu Jun's elder brother. His elder brother passed away early, so he adopted him under his name and raised him on his behalf.

Although the family helped to raise him, he also taught him to read and write, dance with knives and guns... But the Zhufu is already half a year old, and the life he lived before was not very good, so after being called an adopted son, although he values ​​love and righteousness, he has gradually become Domineering up.

Of course Zhu Jun hoped that Zhu Fu would be by his side and be able to teach him personally, but obviously, allowing Zhu Fu to stay in Jiaozhou as the governor meant that the education had failed, and there might be some problems in the relationship between the father and son.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. If Changxin thinks Jiaozhou is good, let him stay there." Liu Tao didn't force him after hearing that, Zhu Fu's future is largely up to him.It has nothing to do with him, and there is no need to care so much about life and death.

"Yes, what happens in the future depends on his own efforts!" Zhu Jun nodded. Although it was not his own blood, it was his brother's only blood. .

Now the world is about to be in chaos, and it will not be easy for Jiaozhou.Just like what Liu Tao said, the scholars over there are the real tyrants, and one or two serving as local prefects is not an assassin.The governor sent by the imperial court, when he got there, was actually in a completely empty state.

It can be said that the bad things in Jiaozhou were basically done by the scholar family, but Zhu Fu still didn't leave, as if he planned to try to regain power with his own strength.This behavior seemed stupid to Zhu Jun, but he couldn't help it.
