    "He has something to hide from me. Ying suddenly thought of this possibility and couldn't help feeling resentful. Liu Zhang had something else to hide from him.

    "We must make it clear." Huang Yueying made up her mind. She knew that if some things were kept in each other's hearts, it might become a big deal in the end, so it was better to make it clear.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out out out out of her mind, if Liu Zhang said he could not tell him, it means that he should not know, Huang Yueying still knew that neither ministers nor women should inquire about the king's affairs.

    Huang Yueying just wants to express her doubts. As for whether she wants to express this matter, it depends on Liu Zhang himself.

    Cao Pi jumped into the sea and committed suicide. In addition to the aristocratic families captured at Jieshi Haikou, all the aristocratic families in Hebei, Qingzhou and other places were captured. Goguryeo had been captured, and all the Goguryeo royal family were captured. Wang Yue fought until near the Han River, and with Baekje  , bordering Silla.

    Liu Zhang named Huang Yueying King of Yan, held a banquet in Yecheng, and came forward to have a banquet with civil and military officials.

    Nowadays, the round tables and square tables produced in Yizhou are popular, and there is basically no need for a waiter to eat. Cao Chong and Liu Xunzhou have the same table. Since being bewitched by Zhou Buyi last time, Cao Chong has been learning new knowledge from Zhou Buyi. Now he has learned about the numbers of Sanmiao.  I have mastered it very well and started to learn geometric figures.

    Just when Cao Chong was enjoying his studies, Liu Zhang suddenly summoned Cao Chong to Yecheng and interrupted his studies. This time, Zhou Buyi and Liu Xun followed Huang Yue. Now that they had little time to spare, Cao Chong quickly asked Zhou Buyi for advice.

    Zhou Bujie was already an adult. He was drinking alone and explaining to Cao Chong. Liu Xun was listening attentively, but looking at his expression, he didn't understand anything and only felt that it was very powerful.

    Duttering is staggered, and the wine is touched.  The various civil and military officials began to congratulate Huang Yueying. Seeing the happy men drinking everywhere, Guan Yinping suddenly left his seat and walked out.

    "Sister, where are you going?" Guan Xing and Guan Suo were drinking happily. They frowned when they saw Guan Yinping leaving, seemingly worried. Diao Chan was about to get up when she was pulled by Guan Xing.

    "Mother, sit down and eat. Our silver screen is now a general, and the dream of being a general has come true. What worries can such an old girl have? Let my sister think about it by herself."

    "because of this¡­¡­"

    "I'll persuade you later. Come and have a drink." Guan Xing pulled Diao Chan and poured a glass of wine for Guan Suo. When Guan Yu was here before, Guan Xing and Guan Suo had some discord because of Guan Suo's son whom they had not known each other for a long time.  So many things are happening now, think about it.  It's all a matter of children, and the two brothers have a good relationship.

    Guan Yinping walked outside the door. He originally wanted to find a quiet place to sit, but he turned to the corridor.  But I saw someone already sitting there.

    "Miss Latia, why are you sitting here and not going in?" Guan Yinping asked doubtfully.

    "What are you going in for? Those grown men were drinking and talking loudly, making it so noisy. They even dripped wine on their beards because you pushed me. How can we eat the dishes when they are all dirty?"

    Latiya showed a disgusted expression, Guan Yinping smiled: "It's better to share a table with each other as before."

    Guan Yinping said this, but she didn't think so in her heart. Although it was indeed a bit uncomfortable for several people to share a table, Guan Yinping felt warm, especially sitting at the same table with Diao Chan, Lingju, Guan Xing, Guan Suo and others.  The table, it feels good, just

    "Huh? Why did you come out?" Latia suddenly looked at Guan Yinping in confusion.

    ¡­¡­

    "The common people congratulate Military Advisor Huang on the title of King of Yan."

    Because Hebei had just been conquered and needed construction, especially Youzhou, everyone knew that it would be a key construction place. Many businessmen came to Yecheng, preparing to get some projects from the government.

    Many big businessmen also attended this banquet. When it was Fatty Jin's turn, Fatty Jin toasted to Huang Yueying and then turned to Liu Zhang and said: "Your Highness, King of Shu, I have a request. I also know that such a trivial matter should not be asked of you.  Said, it¡¯s just that if I miss today, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to see you again.¡±

    Fatty Jin said with a slight embarrassment, as if something was urgent for him, but he couldn't tell Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang looked at the fat Fatty Jin, picked up a glass of wine and drank it, and said impatiently: "Military Commander Yueying today  On this great day, just say whatever you have to say, hesitantly."

    "What a great day." Huang Yueying glanced at Liu Zhang dissatisfied.

    However, Fatty Jin hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "His Royal Highness, the King of Shu, about the Forgettable Grass"

    "Hmm, what's up?"

    "That." Fatty Jin originally knew that Liu Zhang didn't like this very much. The reason why he was asked to grow and process it the year before was probably due to special reasons. Now that Liu Zhang didn't mention it, he shouldn't mention it.

    But this is related to my own worth and life. The money I earned last year is far from enough.??'s.

    Fatty Jin had to bite the bullet and said: "Thank you for the opportunity given by Your Highness last year. I earned a lot, much more than I expected. But I planted it last year and I will plant it this year, but the King of Shu did not say anything about the acquisition.  Here¡­¡­"

    "I didn't say I wanted to buy it from you, why did you plant it?" Liu Zhang said casually.

    "Huh?" Fatty Jin's face turned the color of pig liver. Last year, Fatty Jin was still very satisfied. He didn't know the actual value of poppy. It was originally sold as medicine, but Liu Zhang's purchase price was higher than he expected.  High, I made a lot of money.

    So I hurriedly planted the seeds this year, but when I heard that Liu Zhang didn¡¯t want to buy it, I felt like I was drinking from the northwest, and I suddenly became anxious.

    Liu Zhang looked at Fatty Jin, smiled inwardly, and flirted with Fatty Jin. Fatty Jin quickly got close to his face, and Liu Zhang said, "Do you still want to make money from Poppy?"

    "I think, I think." Fatty Jin replied without hesitation.

    "Then we can no longer plant in Siyang County. You want to move. Is there a good place to go?"

    "Good place? Of course, of course." When Fatty Jin heard that there was an door, he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Last year's income exceeded expectations. Fatty Jin felt that as long as he came here for another three years, he should be able to pay off the accounts. He didn't even need five years.  Year.

    "I wonder where Your Highness is talking about?" Fatty Jin said nervously.

    "Goguryeo."

    "Ah? What did King Shu say?" Fatty Jin didn't seem to hear clearly.

    "You heard me clearly. If you want me to say it a second time, think about the consequences." Liu Zhang picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth and said slowly.

    Businessmen are most afraid of offending the government. Fatty Jin¡¯s face turned green with fright, while Huang Yueying sat aside and laughed.

    "Listen clearly. Listen clearly, His Highness the King of Shu." Fatty Jin said with a bitter face: "The grassroots are from Yizhou. Goguryeo is thousands of miles away from Yizhou? Also, that place  Aren't you the kind of people who drink hair and drink blood? What am I doing there? Who am I selling the things to?"

    "Sell the things to me, and the government will continue to purchase them. As for whether you go or not, that's your business." Liu Zhang took two bites of the food.  Turning to Fatty Jin, he said: "This is your freedom, but I want to tell you in advance that within three months, I will ban any cultivation of opium poppy within the Han Dynasty. Production, processing, hoarding, transportation, and selling,  Buy your property in Siyang. You can take care of it yourself."

    "Huh?" Fatty Jin was stunned again. He was not allowed to plant, process, hoard or sell, so he would burn all the poppies in Siyang.  What's the way out?

    "Fatty Jin is in debt. It's not easy to find a job that makes money, and it's even harder to find a job that can pay off the debt in five years. That's why Poppy has been making money since last year.  Fatty Jin focused on the poppies.

    ¡°All the capital has been invested in planting and processing, if the poppy business is gone this time.  Fatty Jin is completely bankrupt. This bankruptcy is not a debt.

    Liu Zhang originally ordered Zhang Song to provide Jin Fatty with working capital in the form of interest-free loans. If he lost money and the hens he borrowed to lay eggs were gone, how could he turn around?

    Fatty Jin has such a bitter face that water drips from his face.

    Goguryeo, where is that place?  In the eyes of the Han people, it is a barbaric wilderness, a place where birds do not poop. The people there are barbarians, have no rules and regulations, eat their hair and drink blood, and are simply animals.

    In particular, Fatty Jin was from Yizhou. He had never heard of Goguryeo before because he was just a small family. It was not until he later switched to doing business that the Jin family's servants spread all over the country. With their knowledge increasing, Fatty Jin knew that there was a Goguryeo.  nation.

    Where does Fatty Jin want to go to Goguryeo?

    But if he didn¡¯t go to Goguryeo, he would definitely be in jail when the huge debt comes up in five years.

    A year ago, Liu Zhang invented something called reform-through-labor. All criminals, as long as they were not sentenced to death, were sent to work in various construction sites.

    Although there have been precedents for convict labor in the past, Liu Zhang was never so enthusiastic. Tens of thousands of prisoners and prairie horse thieves were used to build the Loop. Unlike previous dynasties, Liu Zhang would also give meager rewards to the prisoners.

    But those days, Fatty Jin felt uncomfortable just thinking about it. Although he hated the fat on his body, he didn¡¯t want to lose it like that.

    Fatty Jin was weighing in his mind whether it was more painful to go to the wilderness or to go to jail. Finally, he said to Liu Zhang cruelly: "Okay, King of Shu, let the common people go to Goguryeo."

    Fatty Jin has thought clearly, as long as he can grow poppies in a place where birds don¡¯t poop, he can live there for at most four years. Anyway, with government acquisitions, the poppies will not have to worry about sales.

    When the deadline is up, I will pay off my debts and return to Han no matter what.

    Four years, not even??Too much.

    "Well, that's right. Boss Jin is indeed the most capable businessman." Liu Zhang praised him. Fatty Jin smiled on his face and shed tears in his heart. Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "You businessmen can be considered as having contributed to the imperial court. You should not take it lightly."  Waiting for you, if you move to Goguryeo, it will definitely cause a lot of losses, so you try to move as much as possible, and the government will subsidize the losses caused by the move."

    "Ah, really? That's great." Fatty Jin was overjoyed. He moved from Siyang to Goguryeo. I don't know how much it would cost. It is estimated that when he arrives in Goguryeo, all of Fatty Jin's belongings will be enough to open a workshop. What about processing?  There are also fewer poppies, and there is great pressure to repay debts.

    If there is a government subsidy, the subsidy is not a big deal. The key is that the work can be started quickly and the processing scale is large, so making money will naturally be much faster.

    Liu Zhang nodded, waved his hand, and Fatty Jin went away happily.

    Letting Fatty Jin move to Goguryeo was Liu Zhang¡¯s idea when he ordered the expedition against Goguryeo. At this time, it was a very important step for the Han Dynasty to move eastward, which was related to the control of North Korea and the Japanese slaves.

    It is basically unrealistic to conquer these remote places by force alone. Some soft methods must be implemented.

    ¡° If Fatty Jin¡¯s industry is relocated to Goguryeo and a port is opened in Goguryeo, the road to the Wonu Kingdom will be much closer, and a lot of transportation costs will be saved.

    Liu Zhang added many fake Taoist priests and monks to the missionaries, and temporarily taught them a lot of missionary knowledge, but fundamentally speaking, most of them were actually miners from the Han Dynasty.

    In Dahan, gold and silver mining has matured. Although it is not as deep as drilling in later generations, general gold and silver mining is still completely no problem. Gold and silver mines close to the surface can also be found.

    Many of the mineral deposits in the Wonu Kingdom were basically formed due to earthquakes and volcanoes and floated on the surface, such as the Iwami Silver Mine. The Wonu Kingdom is known as a specimen country of minerals. There are basically every kind of mineral deposits, but there are very few, only gold and silver.  a lot of.

    These gold and silver mines that are not stored deeply can be found and mined.

    The first reason why Liu Zhang sent these fake missionaries there was to promote the "holy fruit" and let the Japanese slaves, especially the upper class, get into this habit.

    This is the first thing and the first step to the second thing. If this step cannot be completed, then there is no need to do the second thing.

    If the importation of opium goes smoothly, the fake missionaries will have to find gold and silver mines in the process of preaching and promoting opium. This is a very important task. Liu Zhang can't give them any help in this regard, although Liu Zhang knows a few  The name of the mineral deposit, but the exact location is not known at all.

    If you find a gold or silver mine, even one or two, and the opium import goes smoothly, then you can start the second step.

    Let Jin Fatty plant a large amount of opium in Goguryeo and transport it to the Wonu Kingdom for sale. The upper class's demand for opium in the Wonu Kingdom will inevitably make them eager to mine gold and silver mines. In this way, they can exchange opium for gold and silver and make up for the Han gold.  The situation of insufficient silver will promote business development.

    Not only that, this move can also control the upper class of the Japanese slave country. As long as opium is popular, they will have to exchange the wealth of the Japanese slave country, and the big Han can directly control it.

    For the current Japanese slave country, Liu Zhang only needs to cultivate a navy in the port opened by Goguryeo, and on the one hand, clear out possible pirates.

    On the other hand, if the Japanese slave country banned smoking like Lin Zexu did, Liu Zhang would definitely go to war. With the current national strength of the Japanese slave country, as long as the Han navy is formed, the smoking ban will never be possible.

    Although this process will inevitably catalyze the development of the Japanese slave country, Liu Zhang told the Xu family early on that the Japanese slave kingdom is the inherent territory of the Han Dynasty. Once the economic lifeline is controlled, and with this name, it will be easy to assimilate Japan.

    The only thing needed is to rapidly develop the shipbuilding industry. In fact, it does not need to be too strong. North Korea is not very far from the Wonu Kingdom.

    Strengthen the connection between the Japanese slave kingdom and the central government of the Han Dynasty to ensure that they can fight at any time and send people to replace the Japanese slave kingdom officials at any time.
