"Stop talking nonsense, is the King of Shu here?" Fatty Jin covered his forehead with his palms and looked into the distance. He didn't see the shadow of the army yet, and he looked a little anxious.
After waiting all morning, some businessmen shivered in the cold wind, but Fatty Jin was completely fine. Yin Bai tightened his fur coat and said disdainfully: "It's good to be fat."
At this moment, a fast horse arrived and shouted to everyone: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu has an order. The civil, military and people do not need to greet him. The merchants and people will return to the city, and the officials will return to their posts. The meeting will be held tomorrow and no one will be absent." .¡±
After the soldiers finished speaking, they beat the horses and left. Except for Huang Yue, Liu Xun, and Jiang Wan, they all persuaded the civil and military forces to go back. The people stayed where they were, and the merchants left one after another. They were not ordinary people. If they came out in a group like this, they must have the intention to please the ruler. , since Liu Zhang has ordered everyone to return to the city, it will be conspicuous for them to stay here.
"Fat Jin, why don't you leave?" Yin Bai couldn't help shouting when he saw Fatty Jin still staying where he was.
"I'll wait." Fatty Jin said without looking back.
"Aren't you disgusting?" Yin Bai glanced at Fatty Jin with disgust. Yin Bai was also a businessman and knew that businessmen wanted to please those in power, but if the flattery was too much, it would be better not to flatter him and lead his people with Qu Xi and others. left.
Liu Zhang only brought a few thousand people back to Chang'an. The march was very fast. He saw the city of Chang'an from a distance and felt very comfortable in his heart. He walked around Xiahetao and saw that there was no human habitation for thousands of miles. The people he met were Huns and they couldn't even understand the words they spoke. , giving people a desolate feeling.
"The impression given by Guanzhong is that it is safe and it is the capital city. When I return here, I feel less stressed. After a few days of bumps, Liu Zhang now wants to go back and have a good sleep.
"Rong'er, it's time to wake up." Liu Zhang patted Xiao Furong who was lying on his knees. In the first few days of the march, Xiao Furong was very considerate. Seeing Liu Zhang marching and formulating strategies on the front line, he was very tired every day, so she let Liu Zhang sleep in her arms.
But in the next few days, I couldn't hold it anymore. I endured it for two days, and finally lay down in Liu Zhang's arms. She was definitely not a good wife.
Xiao Furong got up from Liu Zhang's lap. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Are you there yet?" He opened the sedan curtain and saw Chang'an City in the distance, about five miles away, and fell asleep in Liu Zhang's arms again.
"My son pays homage to his father. Congratulations to his father on his triumphant return."
"My son pays homage to his father and congratulates him on his triumphant return."
Liu Xun and Liu Kang handed over to the sedan chair together. Liu Zhang opened the curtain of the sedan chair and said to Huang Yue: "Yue'er, please go back with your children." Liu Zhang was also very tired and didn't want to get off the sedan chair at this time. Huang Yue knew what her husband meant, so Taking Liu Xun and Liu Kang into the sedan.
Just when the army was preparing to enter Chang'an directly. Suddenly a scream came: "The common people Jingui pays homage to the King of Shu. The King of Shu is a thousand years old."
Liu Zhang was surprised when he opened the sedan curtain and saw Fatty Jin and his men kneeling in front of the army, not waiting for the soldiers to come over and report. Liu Zhang shouted from a distance: "Shopkeeper Jin doesn't have to wait for you, just go back."
"Your Highness, King of Shu, I have something to ask about. Please give me a chance." Fatty Jin kowtowed to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang had a headache. A businessman can't afford it early if he has no profit, so what can he do to himself? I felt a little impatient, but I couldn't ignore it, so I had to wake Xiao Furong up and get out of the car.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Liu Zhang yawned.
Fatty Jin was overjoyed when he saw Liu Zhang coming out, and immediately said: "His Royal Highness, King of Shu, I heard that you ordered to veto the Forgetwort grass project. Why? That Forgetwort grass is very profitable, and Mr. Zhang Zhongjing said it, yes Medicine is very beneficial.
Does the King of Shu think that the revenue for the court is not enough? If it is left to me to grow, I am willing to pay an additional 20% in tax, and both the import and sale will be taxed to the court. Does the King of Shu think that is okay? "
Originally, Liu Zhang had ordered to stop all introduction, cultivation and sales of Forgetwort, but when the order was sent to Chang'an, Jiang Wan had already organized the investment promotion for Forgetwort.
In the end, the Jin family successfully won the first prize and became the exclusive businessman for the introduction, cultivation and sale of forgetwort among the people.
Fatty Jin was deceived by Latiya last time, but Liu Zhang did not return the money he took back to him. Instead, he used a bank loan. It can be said that Fatty Jin is now in debt.
If he cannot make enough money within five years, not only will the merchants he owes money to be in trouble with him, but the government will also arrest him. According to the current Sichuan Army's laws, if he owes so much money and does not repay it, he will definitely go to jail. .
Fatty Jin was counting on this Forgettable Grass to make a lot of money for himself, pay off his debts within five years, and revive the Jin family. However, Liu Zhang's order dashed his hopes in an instant, and he fell into the abyss of debt again.
When Liu Zhang issued the order, he was afraid that the merchants would become greedy, so he did not mention the nature of Forget-Worry Grass.The addictive effect is only known to a few people in Rome today, and it has not been taken seriously.
Fatty Jin didn¡¯t know the reason why Wangyoucao was banned. Of course he was unwilling to accept it. Other businessmen knew Liu Zhang¡¯s decision and would never change it after the order was given. No one could count on Wangyoucao anymore.
But Fatty Jin can¡¯t do it. It¡¯s his wealth and life, so he can only shamelessly block Liu Zhang¡¯s carriage, otherwise he won¡¯t be able to see Liu Zhang when he returns home.
"Forget-worn grass, what forget-worn grass um, poppy." Liu Zhang woke up from his nap, stared at Fatty Jin and said, "What did you say? You still want to introduce forget-worn grass?"
Liu Zhang looked at Fatty Jin and thought to himself, does this damn fat man know the addictive effects of poppy? If that's the case, the problem is a little more serious.
"Not only importing it, I also plan to cultivate it myself and sell it myself. I think the forgetwort seems to be full of treasures. It can be sold separately. Maybe the price will be higher if it is refined, so I also plan to set up a forgetwort workshop. .
After the workshop is established, it will surely be able to produce a lot of Wangyoucao products, which will not only prosper business and contribute money and food to His Majesty the King of Shu's great cause of unifying the world, but also make an immortal contribution to the development of medicine in the Han Dynasty By the way, I feel forgotten Wormgrass can also be used in the military.
Doesn¡¯t it make people forget the pain? If a soldier is injured"
"Shut up." Liu Zhang interrupted Fatty Jin, thinking that this fat guy is quite smart. He thought of refining poppy so quickly. Is he a businessman or a scientist?
Sure enough, in the face of profit, the creativity of businessmen is endless. If Fatty Jin is really allowed to refine poppies, he might eventually be able to make opium or something.
However, this also proved that Fatty Jin did not know the addictive effect of opium poppy, and Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
Fatty Jin was startled when he heard Liu Zhang's serious "Shut up". He knew that the consequences of the King of Shu's anger would be dire. He thought that he had openly disobeyed Liu Zhang's order and angered Liu Zhang, so he did not dare to speak any more.
Fatty Jin didn¡¯t dare to speak, and he felt a little unwilling. This was related to everything about him. He had spent a lot of effort to get this project. Is it easy to find such a profitable project again?
"Boss Jin, I know you are worried about your industry." Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief: "But it doesn't have to be Wangyoucao.
???????????????????????????????????????????????¡
In addition, now that Nanyang, west of Yuzhou, and the land of Heluo has returned to the imperial court, it is a time of reconstruction and there are countless opportunities. I think you can make a lot of money just by selling food and doing construction and transportation, right? "
"But" Fatty Jin couldn't tell the truth. The Central Plains returned to the Sichuan Army and needed to be rebuilt. However, due to the Great Migration, the population there was not large. Most of the families in the small farmer economy were only self-sufficient. How could there be so many business needs.
And even so, with the Qu family, Yin family, Huang family and countless other big business families joining in, how much can the Jin family get? It's a dream to pay back the money. Fatty Jin must find a very profitable one.
"Don't even think about the Forgetwort grass." Seeing that Fatty Jin wanted to speak, Liu Zhang immediately interrupted: "I have issued a strict order, whether it is introduced, planted or sold, it is a capital offense, regardless of Han people, foreigners, nobles or civilians Common people who commit this crime will be severely punished, and the minimum punishment is beheading. How can we Chinese people worship foreigners and favor foreigners?"
After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he returned to the carriage. Fatty Jin was stunned for a moment, "Advocating foreigners and favoring foreigners? Where is this? Then why did you introduce Da Qin Armor's Parthian compound bow?"
"Master, what should we do now?" A servant asked Fatty Jin as he watched Liu Zhang leading his army into the city.
"What should I do? How do I know what to do? You bunch of idiots don't want to think of a solution. You keep asking me what to do. It's so annoying." Fatty Jin walked away angrily.
The servant was very depressed: "I am the servant, and you are the master." He followed him angrily.

The palace had already prepared fragrant bathing soup according to Huang Yue's instructions. After Liu Zhang took a bath under the service of the maid, he slept soundly all night. On the next day, all the civil and military personnel of the Sichuan army who were left in Chang'an gathered together, and Fu Shou and Liu Zhang were promoted to the palace.
Nowadays, the power of the Sichuan army has developed to Dawan in the west, to Beimo in the north, and in the south Cai Ming and Zhurong have wiped out the scholar families. Under the uprising of the local people, almost all the noble families have been eradicated. Although Jiaozhou is now broken and Dianzhou is remote, Zhuge Liang has gone In the end, even if it is not prosperous, it should still be able to manage and be stable.
The southeast reaches Chaisang, and the Central Plains extends to Yingshui and Yanzhou. If the Sichuan army wants to attack, it can capture Yanzhou at any time, just because it needs to be on the defensive., so there is no attack for the time being.
Hebei Province occupies Bingzhou, which is only separated from Yecheng by the Taihang Mountains. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry including Zhe Lanying, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao gathered in Daijun Shanggu, overlooking Youzhou, Hebei Province.
Two-thirds of the world has been controlled, and the Wu and Wei armies were suppressed in a corner, establishing the unification of the world.
From the time when Jingzhou was pacified, it began to rise. The battle between Yangpingguan and Xiqiang made the Sichuan army famous all over the world, making the world's elites and powerful people no longer dare to underestimate it. Then it became the most powerful force in the world in the battle of Guanzhong.
