Many people may have forgotten a little.

When Lin Chen traveled through time, the character he traveled through time was not the rich child of aristocratic families.

If anyone still remembers it, he should remember the moment he traveled through time... the time traveler was at the juncture where he was almost starved to death.

A soul that is almost starved to death and is in danger, collision with a soul from later generations is actually very likely to produce some chemical reactions.

Especially when the soul still left deep resentment.

It is precisely because of this that since the beginning of time travel, Lin Chen has been thinking about making some changes to this era.

If we successfully defected to Liu Bei, it was Lin Chen's first step in this era.

Now, what he proposed for labor-for-relief and its follow-up is the second step he is going to take in this era.

Before this, whether it was the joint-stock caravan he proposed or the idea of ​​helping others to restore the family, it was just for this step to be more stable.

The main reason why he wants to do something is...

He always felt that if he did nothing, he would be a little sorry for him to disappear after traveling through time... the original owner's hungry soul.

Perhaps he is also sorry for the nine years of compulsory education he received.

So he wants to quietly change the current world.

Not to mention anything else, like the most important oppression of the people, it is one of his initial goals.

certainly.

Everything he did was done silently.

This is because many things he wants to do can only be done after the effect is revealed.

A little earlier or later will cause unnecessary shocks.

…

The military controversy continues.

But now it is the end.

Mi Zhu, who hadn't spoken much before, stood up at this time.

"It has been nearly forty days since the Lujiang companies formed the caravans until today."

"It's almost time to make a summary."

He followed Lin Chen's advice and made a general account book for the income of Liu Bei Group.

While speaking, he had already opened a page.

"Due to the amazing skills offered by the military advisors, the income from salt, iron and coal was extremely high. Only fine salt was sold to Jiujiang and Huainan, and it triggered a craze, and the grain was obtained 113,410 stones."

"According to the rules, the lord can use 30% of it for military use, that is, 37,803 stones."

"The rest of the benefits will be shared by local families with us."

After Mi Zhu finished speaking, he stopped, leaving room for everyone to speak.

"Is there so many?"

Liu Bei had obviously learned the information in advance, but he still couldn't help but be excited, and couldn't help looking at Lin Chen who seemed to be unable to wake up.

"Oh, by the way."

After Mi Zhu nodded, he seemed to be very casual: "In addition to public use, Mrs. Gan also invested in the stock..."

"This matter does not need to be covered. There is a Ziyuan and you all. Can't you have it?"

Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand, saying, "And yesterday, the wife came to a letter saying that someone had sent a lot of money and food. Even if you, Mi Zizhong, want to hide it, it would not be hidden."

“…”

Mi Zhu turned his gaze to the account book in embarrassment and continued to mutter: "Since the people of Lujiang still need to be resettled, the coal balls are not much. However, those who can be used as military personnel also have 9,000 stones of grain and 24,000 coins."

"Although iron tools are huge profits, since Lujiang still needs to resettle the people, the income is not much..."

Seeing Liu Bei nodding, he did not pause this time, but continued: "Since last month, he has obtained 45,200 stones of grain, 400 gold, and 60,000 yuan."

"In addition to the profits of the caravans recently built by Jiangxia, all of them are added up..."

Mi Zhu's eyes suddenly widened when he saw the last number.

"Zi Zhong, why don't you say it?"

Liu Bei was very happy to hear it, but Mi Zhu's stop made him feel like he was stuck in his throat in an instant.

"Here."

After Mi Zhu came to his senses, he whispered: "Since the joint-stock caravan was continuously established to this day, the total income... Among them, the public is 166,422 stones of grain, 213,400 yuan, and 1,000 gold."

"hiss!"

Liu Bei took a deep breath and stood up with a bang.

You know, after learning that he made a profit, he actually just looked at a rough figure.

But his calculations were not very good, so this was the first time he heard accurate numbers.

So after he finished listening, his heart was filled with shock.

The rest of the people present, including Deng Yi and Jiang Gan, were also shocked by this... They didn't know much about joint-stock caravans, but they knew about money and grain.

"The effect finally appears."

"In addition, salt is indeed a huge profit-making business, but it is another matter of farming. I started to get income, but I didn't expect it."

Listening to the numbers reported by Mi Zhu, Lin Chen quickly came to the conclusion from it.

The reason why there is so much money is because salt is too profitable. There is also a large-scale transaction of Liu Yao from Yuzhang County that was not calculated before.

And so much food is because the benefits of farming have already shown a little.

But he would rather not have the latter.

Because this will continue to attract many people's attention to the arable land.

But that's pretty good.

At least, after the above data is released, it proves some of his previous guesses.

This also means that he has officially come out of the second solid step after coming to this era!

...

...

Before the military discussion ended, Mi Zhu extended some data and gave this military discussion a perfect curtain call.

Everyone felt that Liu Bei was a rising hero in the current era, and they were all honored for this.

At the same time, after the military agreement was over, they were excited for less than half an hour, and the news that Deng Yi had said before finally became reality.

Yiji came with Liu Biao's mission.

"I'll welcome you as a kin!"

The moment Liu Bei heard the news, he enthusiastically received him... and the deputy envoy named Song Zhong to the meeting room.

"Liu Biao is quite terrible..."

When Lin Chen heard the two of them coming, he didn't react much, but he was a little interested in the name of the deputy envoy.

When he heard that this guy who could send people away with his name often used a mission on behalf of Liu Biao, he thought in a bad mood...

Will this guy often destroy all the things that could have been negotiated?

So when Liu Biao really talked about it this time, he was appointed as the deputy envoy?

Before he could think about it, the two of them had already walked in.

"I've met Duke Xuande."

After Yi Ji and Song Zhong and Liu Bei had a courtesy, they quickly expressed Liu Biao's ideas.

It’s nothing surprising, it’s the situation that Deng Yi had retelled before.

It’s just that when Yiji talks about it, he will feel a little righteous.

Apart from that, there is nothing worth writing about.

"I have long thought of helping the emperor!"

After Yi Ji finished speaking, Liu Bei said, "I have made a claim to the public before you arrive."

"oh?"

Yi Ji obviously hadn't heard the news yet, so he couldn't help but say curiously: "What does Xuande Gong mean?"

"My original intention is to send troops with Jing Sheng to protect the emperor!"

"If we can get these two armies together, it would be better, and in addition..."

After Liu Bei said that, he said proudly: "In addition, all the food and fodder consumed by both sides during the dispatch of troops were released."
To be continued...
