Xun Yu sat at the side, knocked on the book case and said, "My lord, the agreement has been finalized. Next, it will be reported to the imperial court and the government offices of all states. The official document has been drawn up. My lord, see if there are any omissions?"

"There is Lao Wenruo." Yuan Huan looked at the stack of bamboo slips in his hand, and found that all the bamboo slips on his desk had been handed by Xun Yu, and raised the corners of his lips to look at Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao is busy with Wen Ruo these days." , have you worked hard and produced any results?"

Guo Jia:  …

Heh, do you think this can stump him?

Guo Fengxiao stood up, waved his sleeves and walked to the middle, bowed his sleeves and said in a loud voice, "Jia has no skills, it's not like Wen Ruo can relieve the Lord's worries, so he only negotiated another agreement with Su and Zhang, two horse merchants. , but there are still some inappropriate things, since the lord asks, I can only let the lord have a look at it in advance."

Yuan Huan raised his eyebrows, "Another letter of alliance?"

No wonder the names of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were missing from the alliance letter just now, they were waiting here, why didn't he know that Guo Jia had the talent to do business?

Guo Jia took the half-written letter of alliance from his desk without any guilt, then lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down beside him, "My lord, when the letter of alliance is finalized, then Mr. Guo doesn't have to stay at the mansion, right?" ?”

That guy has been pondering some shady thoughts all day long, and now that Zhen Yan came to the mansion to settle down and not cause trouble, it was replaced by someone else with a big heart, and the two of them got together and worked hand in hand.

He has vented enough, and he is considered a fellow clan no matter what, he can't just watch him die, it's just that he is stunned by anger, if he touches the Ni Lin of their lord, that guy's life is considered to be doomed.

Yuan Huan chuckled, "Did Feng Xiao know that he inquired about Jing'er?"

Guo Jia:? ? ?

All right, if someone wants to die, he can't stop it even if he wants to.

Originally, he wanted to get rid of him before he had time to do bad things, but now it seems that it is too late.

Guo Fengxiao immediately got up, bowed and said solemnly, "My lord only Dangjia didn't say anything just now, Guo Gong is Guo Gongze, and Guo Fengxiao is Guo Fengxiao. Although we are from the same clan, we are actually not familiar with each other."

Their master's attention to the young master can be seen with his toes. When Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu came, they refused to let them know that there was a young master in the house. Guo Tu wanted to hit the young master when he first arrived. This is not courting death, but What are you doing?

What can he do, he can't stop it.

Xun Yu couldn't help laughing, he knew his friend was shameless sometimes, but he didn't expect that he would be so shameless in front of their lord, as expected, he had been with him for a long time, and he couldn't hold it back even if he wanted to.

Guo Jia heard the laughter, squeezed his ears and muttered a few words in a low voice, blinked his eyes and dragged him into the water, "Master, Jia and Guo Gong are indeed not familiar, Wen Ruo can testify."

He just fainted that anger a few times, other than that, it was all Guo Gongze's unilateral provocation and had nothing to do with him.

He Guo Fengxiao is so weak, how could he take the initiative to discord with others?

Yuan Huan raised his hand to let him sit back. Of the few people around him, only Guo Fengxiao himself can make such a disturbance in the council hall, "Guo Gong was recruited by Han Fu from Yingchuan, and then he followed Yuan Shao. This is a pistachio, so let someone go back to his hometown and send him to Yuzhou."

Guo Jia's eyeballs rolled, and a smile bloomed on his face, "My lord is wise."

The tossing people didn't get their hands dirty, so they deserved to be the master of their family.

Yuzhou is under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shu, Guo Tu is good at flattery, Yuan Shu is not Yuan Shao, that person has heard too much flattery since he was a child, Guo Gongze's small tricks may not be of use to him.

Yuan Gonggong now obeys their lord's words, and no longer treats everyone as an enemy like he did when he was fighting Yuan Shao. With their lord, the elder brother, he seems to have returned to that playful ranger.

This is very good, if Guo Tu dared to go to him to make irresponsible remarks, Yuan Gonggong would be able to make him complain endlessly without being persuaded by others.

Flattery is useful, but it also depends on who it is used on.

Yuan Huan spread out the bamboo slips and saw the unrestrained handwriting with a bit of madness on it. He first praised Guo Fengxiao's handwriting, and then read the content word by word.

It has to be said that Smiling Tiger is even more ruthless than him.

The Hu people on the grasslands are a threat to the Han land. Whether it is the Hu tribe that has been attached to the Han land hundreds of years ago, or the Hu people on the vast grasslands in the north, as long as the Central Plains is unstable, They are all likely to invade the Central Plains.

Salt and iron are both controlled items. Once the barbarians have no shortage of things, their strength will soon increase greatly.

Bian County strictly forbids selling ironware to barbarian people. The fear is that they will buy ironware and go back and melt it into weapons to attack the Central Plains. The grassland lacks iron and salt. The only way to get these is to trade with the Han land, otherwise it will be Rob.

Only when the Han regime is strong can it grasp the initiative, otherwise it will be burned.

Most of the time, the imperial court did not completely prohibit the trade of salt and iron. When the relationship between Hu and Han eased, some trading shares would be released. The cattle and horse fur and precious medicinal materials in the northern Hudi are very popular in the Han. If the transaction is completely banned, it will not be good for both parties. good thing.

There are private salt dealers who sell illicit salt in the Han area, and of course there are also in the Hu area. People like Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping only go to the North to buy horses and return to the Central Plains to sell, but it is impossible to take nothing with them when they go to the grasslands. It's more or less private.

Guo Jia's half-drawn alliance letter first wrote the weight, and the fine salt sold to the north must not be too much. He has not yet counted the number of transactions between Jizhou and Hu Di every year. When he counts it, the weight should be at least Cut that amount in half.

Rare things are valuable, and only few can be priced high. If we can use this to crack down on those merchants who smuggle things privately and sell them to the grasslands, and use fine salt to integrate merchants in the north, in the future, whether it is buying horses or checking and balancing Youzhou and Bingzhou Liangzhou , are all beneficial and harmless.

Jizhou needs good horses, and Youzhou and Bingzhou Liangzhou also need good horses. If they can pinch their lifeblood, winning those places in the future will be twice the result with half the effort.

Portions are small, prices are low, and then it's something to swap.

As I said earlier, we must take precautions against Youzhou and Liangzhou. They don’t need money for transactions, and the barbarians don’t understand etiquette. You don’t have to follow the rules of their Han land. It’s good to exchange things, anyway, they don’t use much money. It's too troublesome to exchange them all into money and then trade them. It's better to save the intermediate steps and use fur livestock to buy and sell.

Save the middleman to make the difference, and be the biggest middleman yourself.

After Yuan Huan read the above, he didn't know what Guo Jia wanted to write, so he became playful in a flash of inspiration, and added a sentence at the end: The final interpretation right belongs to Mu Yuanhuan of Jizhou.

"Su and Zhang won't refuse these conditions, and Feng Xiao wants to add those?" Yuan Huan finished writing the last word, put down the pen and handed over the bamboo slips.

Guo Jia looked at the small characters at the end, and thought it was quite amusing after reading it, "There is this sentence added by the lord, so there is no need to add it later."

The things written above are the most important, and it is only a small problem to write more. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping are just horse merchants. It is already a great favor for them to gradually erode the business of the entire northern grassland under the protection of Jizhou. The power was already in their hands, and if those two people were disobedient in the future, they could easily take back the power given out.

The sentence added by the lord seems simple, but if you think about it carefully, if something happens in the future, they can justify dealing with those people with this sentence.

Guo Jia smiled and transcribed the contents on the silk cloth, put them on the bamboo slips to dry, and then stretched out, "The alliance document is completed, just ask Su and Zhang to sign their names later."

After reading the bamboo slips on the desk, Yuan Huan pondered for a moment and asked, "Wen Ruo, Feng Xiao, I saw Wei Ji, Lu Su and others yesterday, what do you think of them?"

Xun Yu took a sip of his saliva, sat upright and replied in a gentle voice, "Lu Zijing and Wei Bo have great talents and can take on important responsibilities, while Mi Zifang and Wei Zi Xu Yongwu are only good at guarding a peaceful place, and they live in troubled times." There are deficiencies, and Zhen Yan Zhen Zizhuang is too young, and he needs to practice for a few more years if he wants to be on his own."

Guo Jia rubbed his nose, "Jia thinks so too."

It's not that he was lazy, but that he really thought so too, but Wen Ruo spoke first and finished his words, so he could only continue like this.

Guo Jia sighed, cheered up and asked, "Does my lord want to use them?"

Yuan Huan shook his head, "It's too early."

The two people beside him nodded clearly, it was too early, that is to say, it was not used, but used later.

Now that the method of stabilizing the price of salt and food has just been decided, these people are busy when they go back to their hometowns. Stabilizing prices is not a trivial matter. Good to go back.

Besides, these people have official positions in the local area, big or small, and no matter how bad they are, they also have the title of filial piety. It is unrealistic for them to stay in Jizhou at this time.

"If Feng Xiao thinks there are too many official duties, it just so happened that a talented young gentleman came to the house yesterday. If Feng Xiao and Wen Ruo can teach a thing or two, the helper is far away and close at hand." Yuan Huan frowned, stood up and asked The two went out with him, "Young man of the Zhou family is well-known in Lujiang, have Wen Ruo and Feng Xiao heard of it?"

"Young man of the Zhou family? A member of the Zhou family in Lujiang?" Guo Jia nodded thoughtfully. He was born in the Zhou family of Lujiang. He should be the son of Zhou Yi, the order of Luoyang a few years ago. How did you find it here?"

Xun Yu tidied up the letters on the table, patted his sleeves and got up calmly, "Fengxiao forgot, the son of Marquis Wucheng has a very good personal relationship with Xiaolang of the Zhou family. Before Marquis Wucheng raised troops to challenge Dong, the Sun family went to Lujiang Living next door to the Zhou family, the two teenagers have a strong relationship, so it's not surprising that they came here together."

"Judging from the meaning of the Lord's words, I should be very satisfied with the young man of the Zhou family. It seems that this council hall will soon add another person." Guo Jia walked out, squinting his eyes to feel the autumn The sunshine, lazily looking for a place to sleep.

Xun Yu walked steadily beside him, putting one hand on his shoulder to let him walk well, "Zhou Lang is young, and Feng Xiao has to do things by himself, if the reputation of bullying children spreads, my lord will probably get angry. "

Guo Jia straightened his face, and replied plausibly, "Jia has always been diligent, Wen Ruo must not spit blood on others."

When Yuan Huan heard this, he really wanted to know how thick Guo Fengxiao was. The word "diligence" was suitable for anyone, but Guo Fengxiao couldn't.

If he can be considered diligent, there will be no lazy people in this world.

On the other hand, Zhou Yu rejected Sun Ce's invitation to travel to the military camp. He was in a hurry to meet yesterday. He was ready today, and he wanted to hand in a letter to ask to see Mr. Zhou Mu. This guy is all about suppressing bandits and suppressing bandits. Can't do nothing.

Sun Ce knew the seriousness, seeing him bathing and burning incense as if facing an enemy, he did not dare to interrupt such a serious meeting, although he felt that the master treated them equally last night, which already represented his brother Yu's talent was recognized by the master.

Since Brother Yu is so solemn, he always feels that he will be blamed if he stops him, so let him go to see the lord, and he can go to the barracks by himself.

Sun Ce found Zhang Liao familiarly, and found that Zhang Liao was the only one training soldiers now. Knowing that Zhao Yun had left Zhongshan for Nanyang, he believed even more that he would be reused after he arrived.

Look, Zhao Zilong has just left, and there is one person missing from the lord's side. Isn't he coming at the right time?

Banditry is rampant in autumn and winter, and with him here, the bandits and robbers in the surrounding area will definitely cry and turn away.

Zhang Liao looked up and down the young man with outstanding appearance, and asked with his ear, "You said just now that you want to lead troops out to fight bandits?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Xiaobawang clenched his fists, his eyes sparkled, "The autumn harvest has just passed, and people have surplus food in their homes. It is the time when robbers and robbers are at their most rampant. I used to see them often when I was in my hometown. The officers and soldiers are going out to suppress the bandits at this time, General Wen Yuan can rest assured that ordinary robbers can't beat me at all."

Zhang Liao clicked his tongue, patted him on the shoulder and shook his head, "Ce, you are late, our robbers in Zhongshan have been killed by Lu Fengxian, if you want to suppress the bandits, you can only look for them in the Taihang Mountains. There should be some black bandits."

Sun Ce: ? ? ?

Gone? ? ?

No, he just came to Zhongshan, why are there no thieves in Zhongshan?

There are no bandits, but water bandits are fine. Their family has a tradition of hunting water bandits. His father became famous fighting water bandits when he was young. Now he can follow his father's path, and hunting water bandits is no problem.

Zhang Liao continued to shake his head, "Ce, there are no water bandits in Jizhou, and since you are young, you can just train with me in the house. Whether it is bandits or water bandits, it's not our turn to eliminate bandits with Marquis Lu Wen here."

The little bully had a sad face, "Is there not a single bit left?"

He dared to fight the Black Mountain Bandits, but he was just thinking about it. The Black Mountain Bandits are not only in Jizhou, but also in the Taihang Mountains. If he dares to go, the Lord will definitely not let him take the risk.

Zhang Liao patted his head affectionately, "Kids, don't think so much."

Sun Ce curled his lips, "I am not young anymore, and I will be crowned in two years, and I will be a general in my own right by then."

"The little boy who didn't even take the words, he's doing everything on his own." Zhang Liao laughed out loud, teasing without restraint.

The little bully blushed at what he said, and he firmly refused to admit that he was a little boy, his eyes were crackling with fire, and the two quickly became a ball.

In Yanzhou, Wu Chenghou was very surprised to receive a letter from his son. It's really rare that the kid in his family remembered to write to him.

However, when he opened it, it was different from all the family letters he had seen before. There were only a few short words on it: Dad!Hurry up and get the word for me! ! !

The author has something to say: Sun Ce: No one can stop me from making progress!
