I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

Jian Shuo is a more capable person among the ten regular servants.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Rang and others originally asked Jian Shuo to take control of the Xiyuan Army.

At this time, after hearing Wei Chu's appointment to him, Jian Shuo felt a little happy.

As Wei Chu said, leading troops in battle is not Jian Shuo's strength.

Moreover, Jian Shuo is not only afraid of death, he is also a little afraid of blood.

Helping Wei Chu make money was not only in line with Jian Shuo's profession, but the key point was that this job was less dangerous than being a general.

"General, don't worry. When it comes to making money, I will never disappoint you. You know, it was my idea that the emperor and the queen mother sold their official positions to make money in the past."

"Although the treasury is now empty and can only sustain the consumption of the imperial palace, the Royal Forest Army and the West Garden Army. But I still have a way to gather a large sum of wealth for the general in a short period of time."

Wei Chu glanced at Jian Shuo, who was full of confidence.

According to Wei Chu’s knowledge, the main components of the Eastern Han Dynasty’s tax rate were land rent + oral tax + calculation tax + labor service + miscellaneous taxes.

With the world in chaos, the tax revenue sent by various states to Luoyang was very little.

The method Jian Shuo talked about definitely did not refer to taxation.

So as Jian Shuo finished speaking, Wei Chu became extremely interested in Jian Shuo's words.

"Jian Shuo, what can you do?"

"General, the emperor's birthday is in three months. General, you can ask the emperor to issue a decree. In order to celebrate the annihilation of the Yellow Turban Army, the emperor's birthday will be celebrated by the whole world."

"Provincial governors, prefects, and officials at all levels in various places need to prepare gifts to celebrate the emperor's birthday."

"There are many officials in various parts of the Han Dynasty. In order to curry favor with the emperor, the gifts they prepared for the emperor must be a large amount of wealth."

"And in five months, it will be the Queen's birthday again."

After listening to Jian Shuo's words, Wei Chu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Jian Shuo is really not a simple guy, he actually knows how to collect money from his family members.

As Jian Shuo said, on the emperor's birthday, the gifts given by officials from various places should not be too shabby.

And these gifts will eventually fall into Wei Chu's hands.

"Well, your idea is good. Let's do it according to your idea. In addition, Empress Dowager Dong died not long ago, so the funeral of Empress Dowager Dong should be held in a big way. At least let the noble families in Luoyang send some gifts."

"General wise!"

Jian Shuo bowed respectfully towards Wei Chu, his old face full of flattery.

"Okay, you go do your business."

After Jian Shuo turned around and left, Wei Chu said to Niu Shisan behind him: "The news came back from Shibaqi. My wife and father-in-law will arrive in Luoyang this afternoon. You and Gouzi will accompany me for a while." Come on, I'm going to meet them outside Luoyang City."

Having said this, Wei Chu took out a hairpin from his arms.

This afternoon, I finally had the opportunity to put the hairpin back on Cai Yan's head.

In addition, several months have passed and I don’t know whether the child in Cai Yan’s belly is healthy.

Time is like running thin, always speeding up very fast.

It seems like afternoon has arrived in the blink of an eye.

Three carriages appeared on the broad official road near Luoyang City.

Although these three carriages look ordinary.

But the eighteen cavalrymen accompanying him seemed to be in high spirits.

They wore bright light armor and carried divine arm crossbows on their backs.

Everyone seems to have a restrained aura, and their bodies seem to contain inexhaustible power.

These 18 people were the Eighteen Tiandao Guards sent by Wei Chu to protect Cai Yong and his daughter.

These 18 people are also old brothers of Wei Chu. They have not only taken half of the Dali Pill, but also the Copper Head and Iron Arm Pill, and are loyal to Wei Chu.

The person sitting in the carriage at the front of the three carriages is Cai Yong.

Cai Yan, Zhen Zhu and Er Yatou were sitting in the last carriage.

Perhaps knowing the importance of Cai Yan, ten of the Eighteen Tiandao Guards gathered around Cai Yan's carriage.

Among these eighteen cavalrymen were followed by a dozen men in white on horseback.

These people all have long swords hanging from their waists and have extraordinary temperament.

Among them, there was a handsome young man who seemed to have a very close relationship with Cai Yong.

He kept riding near Cai Yong's carriage.

Cai Yong also lifted the curtain of the carriage and chatted with the young people from time to time.

"Teacher, we will arrive in Luoyang soon. Can you tell me now whose flesh and blood Yan'er is carrying?"

A young man named Wei Zhongdao.

This person is a direct member of the Hedong Wei family.

In his early years, he studied under Cai Yong.

Wei Zhongdao has always liked Cai Yan.

More than ten days ago, Cai Yong and his party, who were protected by the Eighteen Tiandao Guards, had just entered Sili Prefecture when they happened to meet Wei Zhongdao who had returned from traveling.

Because Wei Zhongdao was a student of Cai Yong, the Eighteen Cavalry Guards of Tiandao agreed to go with Wei Zhongdao.

But although both sides are traveling together.

But the Eighteen Tiandao Guards never let Wei Zhongdao get close to Cai Yan's carriage.

A few days ago, Cai Yan got out of the car to exercise. Wei Zhongdao spent a lot of effort and secretly saw that Cai Yan was pregnant.

This discovery made Wei Zhongdao uncomfortable for a long time.

"Zhongdao, let me tell you again, you'd better not ask about this matter again. When you enter Luoyang City, you may have a chance to know!"

Cai Yong's refusal to answer Wei Zhongdao was actually for Wei Zhongdao's good.

Because Cai Yong knew the tempers of Wei Zhongdao and Wei Chu very well.

Although Wei Chu seems to be polite to others sometimes.

But there was a ruthlessness in Wei Chu's bones.

Cai Yong was worried that if Wei Zhongdao continued to harass Cai Yan, Wei Chu would kill Wei Zhongdao.

Of course, Cai Yong was also worried that Wei Chu would cause trouble by killing Wei Zhongdao.

Therefore, Cai Yong hopes that Wei Zhongdao can keep a sufficient distance from Cai Yan now.

After taking a serious look at Cai Yong, Wei Zhongdao looked around again, and finally lowered his voice and said: "Teacher, as you get closer and closer to Luoyang, I see that you have been frowning recently. You always answer my questions. He avoided answering. I boldly guessed that you and Yan'er must have been coerced by someone. It is precisely because of this that I repeatedly asked whose child Yan'er was pregnant with. "

"Teacher, you should know the energy of our Hedong Wei family. Now that I and my friends are by your side, you don't have to worry too much."

"If someone really threatens you and Yan'er, no matter how high the other party's status is, I will send someone to kill them."

"Kill the other party, and I can help take care of Yan'er and the child in Yan'er's belly."

"and……"

This time, before Wei Zhongdao finished speaking, he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from the direction of Luoyang.

Cai Yong followed the sound of horse hooves and soon saw Wei Chu and two soldiers galloping from a distance.

Seeing Wei Chu, Cai Yong couldn't help but frown slightly.

But soon, Cai Yong reacted again.

"Zhongdao, the name of the man who came in front is Wei Chu. Remember it and be sure not to provoke him."
