Zhang Ze, the Zhang family advocate, was thinking about what His Highness, the King of Han in Yangzhou, wanted to do.

Five thousand gold? To be honest, although it is too much, Zhang Ze has seen him before. Even the transactions between their Zhang family and Yangzhou are based on the skills of tens of thousands of gold.

But the five thousand gold was given for free, so Zhang Ze had to consider it because there was no free lunch in the world. Although his Zhang family is an old family of Chenliu, you should know that he was still frightened.

Because his last head of the family was because Lu Bu betrayed Lao Cao, the current Zhang family is not so much the Zhang family as a branch of the Zhang family, and the direct line has long been eradicated by Lao Cao. After the direct line was solved, Lao Cao felt guilty, which gave the Zhang family a chance to survive.

This is the transaction with Yangzhou. The Han King Liu Mang of Yangzhou also opened up the business road and opened the door to convenience because of the late head of the last family.

Now Lu Bu's son-in-law, His Highness the King of Han, has come to give him benefits again, and Zhang Ze has to be careful.

"What are the conditions for this King of Han?" Zhang Ze asked the person who brought the letter.

"Report to the head of the family, His Highness the King of Han has no conditions!" said Gongjin, the envoy of the Zhang family.

"Oh?" Zhang Ze was a little disbelief.

"The merchant who received rewards with our Zhang family also has a Sun family!" said the Zhang family's commander next to him.

"The Sun Family? Which Sun Family? The Sun Family in Jiangdong?" If you can get rewarded by His Royal Highness of the Han Dynasty like his Zhang family, you don't have to be young, and you may even be even better. Naturally, Zhang Ze thought of the Sun Family in Jiangdong over there.

"The head of the family is not the Sun family in Jiangdong!"

"Yeah?" Isn't it because a new Sun family appeared in Yangzhou in Jiangdong? How could Zhang Ze not know?

"It's the Sun family in Jiaozhou!" said the commander.

"Jiaozhou Sun Family? Which family is this?"

"It's not a noble family, it's just a small merchant from Jiaozhou!" The commander explained to his head of the family.

"Small businessmen in Jiaozhou?"

"When His Highness of the Han King gave the reward, he said that these money was rewarded by merchants who went out to sea!"

The head of the Zhang family then realized that the money was visited by the Han King Liu Mang in order to reward the merchants who went out to sea. The Zhang family and the Sun family in Jiaozhou were visiting each other. That was because the two were not local Yangzhou merchants, but they rented the most ships.

Zhang Ze didn't care about the reason why the Zhang family rented several sea boats. It was just that some people said that His Highness the King of Han was interested in going to sea, so Zhang Ze rented several sea boats to satisfy his preferences. In order to make His Highness the King of Han happy, he rented several sea boats, but he didn't expect that he would actually send a reward.

Originally, Zhang Ze did not dare to accept this money. If His Highness the King of Han had any intention, his Zhang family would be in trouble.

But he was reluctant to abandon the meat that was so good. Now, there is an additional Sun family here, as a comparison. Look, the Sun family, a poor merchant in Jiaozhou, has received the five thousand gold. This shows that His Highness the King of Han has not made any plans, and His Highness the King of Han has not reached any indescribable conspiracy with us, right?

This is all rewarded by His Highness the King of Han because we actively went out to sea. This is to appease Zhang Ze's heart, and more importantly, to give an explanation to Mr. Cao from Xudu over there.

"The head of the family, His Highness the King of Han said that he was borrowing, and this money needs to be used for going to sea!" The messenger reminded.

Zhang Ze waved his hand and borrowed it? Haha, even if it was borrowed for going to sea, wouldn’t the money their Zhang family had gone to sea before would be recovered?

"The trip to sea is over. The five thousand golds need to be settled with Jin Lubu from Yangzhou!"

Zhang Ze thought a little bit, not allowing Jin Lubu to enter Yanzhou, which was a government order sent from Xu Du. So the Zhang family and Yangzhou were still using real money and silver.

Now the five thousand golds are traded with Jin Lubu. Zhang Ze is a little annoyed.

"The head of the family, this gold and Lu Bu is very convenient, five thousand gold, only fifty pieces. The king of Han, Liu Mang, in Yangzhou, is very credible. All gold stores in various places can be exchanged for gold. If it weren't for Xun Shangshu, I'm afraid this gold and Lu Bu would have been able to be circulated long ago!" The head of the Zhang family next to him said.

Jin Lubu in Yangzhou has a high business credit and is convenient. In addition, Yangzhou's business path is developed, many Yangzhou merchants and Yanzhou merchants are willing to communicate with each other. But now the problem is that Yangzhou merchants went to Yanzhou and brought Jin Lubu habitually. This thing is not allowed to be circulated in Yanzhou, which is simply waste paper.

When a merchant from Yanzhou went to Yangzhou, he needed to bring real money and silver. Not to mention the transportation troubles, the danger also increased, and labor costs naturally increased.

As for the goods transported to Yanzhou and the goods were sold, Yangzhou merchants usually gave Jiaozi. If you want to go back, you will naturally have to exchange them for gold. However, if the local merchants are very happy, if you are a businessman from another place, you will wait a while. If the quantity is small, it will be fine, and a county can meet the needs. If the quantity is large, you need to be allocated from other residences, which will take longer.

Time is money, so the Yanzhou merchants who traded with Yangzhou had long complained. But Xu Youling was not allowed to be circulated.

"Head of the family, Xun Shangshu has been transferred to Liaodong. He won't say much about Jin Lu Bu!" Xun Yu was a person who advocated banning Jin Lu Bu's circulation. Cao Cao also gave him permission because he listened to him, but this offended many geniuses who wanted to trade with Yangzhou. In the past, Xun Yu suppressed him, so everyone dared not say much. Now that Xun Yu has left, there are really few people doing this offensive thing!

Now Zhang Ze was even more worried.

"Okay, let the head there accept the kindness of His Highness the King of Han. We will definitely arrange the right way to go out to sea. I remember there are thousands of pieces of coarse cloth in Chenliu?" Zhang Ze asked his subordinates beside him.

"That's right!" The head of the man behind his hands nodded. The coarse cloth piled up in Chenliu was collected from the homes of the people in the past, and now the cloth is more imported from Yangzhou. So this batch of goods is either sold at a low price or accumulated in the warehouse and moldy.

"Send this batch of coarse cloth to you! We need to support His Highness the King of Han's policy of going to sea!" Zhang Ze said generously. The five thousand gold given to him by Yangzhou can be considered as giving him face, and at least he can fill the several sea boats, right?

"Yes, the villain will go now and let the servants load the carriage and transport it to Yangzhou!" The smiling head of the Zhang family started to speak.

"Don't take the dry road, take the water road. After passing Yingshui, go directly to Shouchun!" Another 5,000-yuan investment was added, and the accumulated coarse cloth could be sold.

Our King of Han naturally didn't know the little movements of the Zhang family over there, and he would just smile even if he knew about it. This sea route is a treasure, so he didn't believe that these people would be willing to give up the deliciousness of the crab after eating crabs once. At that time, Liu Mang's can only trade with Jin Lu Bu, which would be a killer weapon.

"Report, report to the lord, letter from Xiliang!" In the main hall of Liu Mang, the personnel in charge of intelligence submitted a letter that had not yet been Kaifeng.

"Come on!" Xiliang wrote that Zhuge Liang had been away for a while, and logically speaking, he should have arrived in Xiliang.

Liu Mang opened the letter and read it with great interest, but after reading a few sentences, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Because it says it says that my wise lord, His Highness, King Han, misses me?

Liu Mang resisted the urge to tear the letter apart and continued to read it. Zhuge Villageman, you are going to die if you don’t act cute.

The subsequent incident calmed down a little bit of the ugly expression on Liu Mang's face.

Ma Chao rebelled.

After all, it was not Zhuge Liang's good eloquence, but Cao Cao was anxious. He thought that if he took Ma Teng and gave Ma Chao a title of marquis and officials, Ma Chao would be able to surrender to him. All Cao Cao asked Xiahou Yuan to send troops out of Hedong and try to attack Zhang Lu, Hanzhong through the territory of Liangzhou warlords such as Ma Chao. This made Ma Chao and others panic.

Because they thought that Cao Cao was uneasy and kind-hearted, it was fake to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, but in fact it was just to plot against them, Xiliang.

If Ma Chao was a little more ambitious and pushed the cart with the flow, he could still send troops to Hanzhong with Xiahou Yuan. This would be another contribution. Cao Cao would definitely give Ma Chao a great reward.

Unfortunately, our Ma Chao children's shoes are also known as Little Lu Bu. They just tasted the taste of power, so they are naturally unwilling to let go.

On the surface, he was very comforted by Cao Cao's army, but secretly contacted Han Sui and others. Zhuge Liang's arrival was just a lead, which directly ignited the explosive pack.

Originally, Ma Chao thought that he would not be Cao Cao's opponent by relying on his own state. Now, His Highness of the Han King of Yangzhou is used as a foreign aid. So let's fight. First defeat Liu Hongming, lead 100,000 troops (including the major Liangzhou warlord forces such as Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, etc.) elect Han Sui as the governor. He gathered in the Wei River and Tongguan to build camps.

"Okay. The successful rebellion of Xiliang has a precious time with my Yangzhou!" Xu Shu, who was next to him, also smiled. His junior brother Zhuge Liang was simply a talented person. Zhuge Liang could have come back, but he took the initiative to stay in Xiliang, which moved Xu Shu very much. This is called suffering ahead.

With Zhuge Liang as his wise plan, it would be really difficult for Cao Cao to pacify Xiliang.

"The village man in Zhuge actually asked to stay in Xiliang?" Liu Mang was a little confused. Wherever this guy had good fortune, and wherever he was not tired, he went to Xiliang like a dead parents, but now he actually asked to stay there.

Liu Mang suddenly sniffed his nose, what did it smell?

"Huh?" Xu Shu looked at his lord in confusion, where did the smell come from?

"Yuan Zhi, don't you smell it? What's the smell of this letter?" Liu Mang handed over the letter written by Zhuge Liang in his hand.

Xu Shu also smelled a scent, but couldn't think of what it was.

Suddenly, Liu Mang shouted, "I understand!" Liu Mang shouted: This is the taste of the best rouge powder.

The earliest thing that rouge powder was found in Yanzhi Mountain in the northwest China's Xiongnu region. Hun aristocratic women often used "Yanshi" (rouge) to decorate their faces. In 139 BC, Emperor Wu of Han sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions to strengthen the connection between the Han Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions. Zhang Qian's trip brought back a large number of foreign cultures, including the lifestyles and ethnic customs of the various ethnic groups in the Western Regions. The introduction of rouge was also at this time.

Xiliang is close to the Western Regions, where the rouge powder is bound to be much purer than the Central Plains.

Liu Mang's harem can be considered to be smelling these things every day, so he is familiar with them. The princesses used the best rouge powder from the Western Regions, and he is familiar with the taste.

Liu Mang inadvertently looked through the letter again, and there was a red lipstick behind the letter.

Liu Mang finally knew why the Zhuge Villager was not here. He didn't get much benefit from Liu Mang's feelings. When he arrived in Xiliang, Ma Chao offered him as a master. He was accompanied by fine wine and food every day, and there was also beauties. He didn't have to go to morning court, and he didn't have to deal with government affairs. Why not do it?

"Hmph, I'll settle the score with you when I'm back!" Liu Mang was so amazed and crying. He inadvertently planned to teach this letter to Mrs. Huang who was still in Zhuge's mansion. He wanted to see how our classmate Zhuge died.

"Xiliang is in chaos, and we need to seize the time!" The general trend of the world became clearer and clearer. Now there is a Xiliang that is restraining Cao Cao. If Xiliang is more beautiful, he really can't find any opportunity to restrain Cao Cao.

In addition to the autumn harvest, Liu Mang also needs another important situation, which is to pacify Jingzhou. Liu Da'er is by his side, and Liu Mang is really uneasy.

This thing is a treacherous hero. There are few people in the world who can act like Liu Bei.

If he and Cao Cao started working, and Liu Bei would rise up over there, the fun would be really great.

Liu Mang's previous plan was to drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger, and use Liu Bei as a messing stick to completely disrupt the situation in Jingzhou. There were many gentry in Jingzhou and their forces were scattered. What's more, Liu Mang also promised that as long as Liu Zong was in power for one day, he would not move Jingzhou.

Liu Bei was a backup plan he left behind, allowing Liu Bei to enter Jingzhou smoothly and allow Liu Bei to be reused by the Huang family. These are all the shadows of Liu Mang.

The purpose is to kill our minions, Liu Da'er, the number one boss in the Three Kingdoms.

But Jingzhou is too quiet now, so quiet that Liu Mang feels terrible because Liu Da'er and the Minion are too harmonious.

Liu Bei seemed to have awakened wholeheartedly, and was actually helping Huang She to do things. Now he is very grateful to Huang She. Huang She even threw such an important place as Jiangling to Liu Bei's garrison.

"He Liu Bei wants to boil the frog in warm water!" Liu Mang said that Liu Bei could wait and cook the big frog in Huangzhe. After all, Yizhou has not yet obtained it, but Liu Mang couldn't wait and he had no time to wait.

"He Liu Bei doesn't do anything, we force him to do it!" A gleam appeared in Liu Mang's eyes! (To be continued)
