Farmer of Shu Han - Chapter 1270

  Chapter 1270 Hugging the Rabbit in the Grass

  In the original historical timeline, after Baidi Tuogu, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty took over a country riddled with holes and financially bankrupt.

  In order to solve the financial problem, the Great Han Chancellor carried out creative reforms relative to the ancient state foundation – farming and weaving.

   Not only created the weir guard officer in Dujiangyan, but also set up a brocade official to manage the production of Shu brocade.

   It can be said that “a hundred rooms are separated from each other, and the machines are in harmony.”

  As for the intrusion of a certain soil turtle, although Ji Han did not have so much financial pressure, the development of Shu brocade has been greatly accelerated.

   The first is because of the rapid development of the textile industry.

  The upsurge of textile workshops set off by Feng Tubie himself naturally greatly promoted the development of silk.

   Second, it is naturally because of the multi-season sericulture technology developed by Feng Da Sima in order to develop the Yuexuan Sunshui River Valley (that is, the Anning River Valley Plain, the second largest plain in Sichuan in later generations).

  That’s why when Feng Da Sima sighed and said that the Shu brocade was back to its grand occasion, Qin Bo had to force himself to control himself, so he rolled his eyes without being rude.

   It’s just that according to the current situation, even if Da Sima said that **** is delicious, Qin Bo has to go along with it.

   It is impossible to say that in order to prove this point, you have to taste it yourself.

   Feng Da Sima, who holds the fate of the school affairs office, has such a strong deterrent effect on the school affairs office.

   It can be said that the school office, which was almost desperate when it stretched out its hand back then, finally got a generous return at this time.

  Unless Lu Yi, Qin Bo and others are truly loyal and loyal ministers of Great Wu who understand righteousness and righteousness, and they are the kind who would rather die than die.

  Will they be the kind of loyal people?

  If they were, why did Da Sima Feng give them a hand?

  Besides, Feng Da Sima just asked them to deal with their political opponents who they wanted to deal with for a long time, and they didn’t want them to betray Sun Quan. They should be happy, right?

  Feng Da Sima has always liked dealing with villains, not without reason.

  Because they know current affairs.

  For example, the Qin Bo in front of him is very knowledgeable about current affairs.

  Hearing Feng Da Sima’s comment on Lu Boyan, his eyes lit up, and a flattering smile appeared on his face at the same time:

   “Yes, yes, what Da Sima said is very true. He is ignorant and has little knowledge. Fortunately, Da Sima pointed out that he was wrong, he was wrong!”

   Feng Da Sima naturally couldn’t take Qin Bo’s compliment seriously.

  Even if someone finds out in the future that he was the mastermind behind this matter, so what?

  I, Feng Mingwen, and Lu Boyan are at odds with each other!

  Back the alliance?

  What betrayed the alliance?

  When Lu Boyan decided to sneak attack Jingzhou and wrote a letter to deliberately paralyze his uncle, that’s not what he said.

   Even closer, in last year’s battle, Lu Xun and Sima Yi cooperated seamlessly. Da Sima Feng didn’t believe it was a coincidence.

  Seeing Qin Bo’s appearance, Da Sima Feng’s eyes flashed, and he pretended to be calm and asked:

   “So, are you agreeing?”

   “After Bo goes back, he must explain the benefits and risks of this matter to His Majesty and School Secretary Lu clearly.”

   “Then I will take it as your acceptance.”

  Feng Da Sima smiled:

   “If this can be done, change the rice into mulberry and buy silk, even if Lord Wu doesn’t agree—”

  Feng Da Sima dragged his voice out, and when he saw Qin Bo listening attentively, he continued, “I can also let Xinghan Society make this deal with your school office in private.”

  Feng Da Sima nodded at Qin Bo, “You can even notify the school administration to designate you to preside over this transaction.”

   “The government won’t allow it. We can buy and sell some silk privately. It’s always okay, right?”

  When Qin Bo heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.

  Feng Da Sima saw his expression, his smile widened, and his tone slowed down again:

   “School Officer Qin, don’t tell me that your school office is in Jingzhou, and you can’t even collect a silk?”

   “Yes, yes! No problem at all!”

  Qin Bo seemed to be afraid that Feng Da Sima would go back on his word, so he quickly answered.

  I don’t know if this is possible, whether it is possible to buy and sell silk in private, or to collect silk, or both.

  About getting the good news, Qin Bo stood up again, rubbed his hands, his face flushed with excitement, and asked a little embarrassedly:

   “Da Sima, this silk, uh, what the villain wants to ask is, uh, in case His Majesty really refuses to agree to this matter, how much silk will Xinghan accept?”

   “The more the better,” Feng Da Sima picked up the teacup, took a breath, took another sip, and said seemingly casually, “We will take as much as you can sell.”

  When Qin Bo heard this, he blurted out and asked, “Really?!”

   Feng Da Sima raised his eyelids and glanced at the other party.

   “Ah! Slip of speech, slip of the tongue, it’s time to hit!” Qin Bo raised his hand and slapped himself, “The villain is so confused.”

   Then he carefully explained, “The villain is just worried, if too much silk is collected at once, will there be a backlog?”

   “That’s not what you have to worry about, you just accept it.”

  Feng Da Sima waved his hand, “I’m afraid you won’t be able to accept it.”

  After saying this sentence, he seemed to think of something, and it was much rarer to explain:

   “Not to mention the south of Nanjun, even the entire Jingzhou, and even Jiangdong, I can eat it.”

  When Qin Bo heard this, he was stunned secretly, and in his heart, he had raised his ability to another level, thinking that it was really unfathomable.

   Feng Da Sima glanced at Qin Bo thoughtfully.

  Even Qin Bo, who often deals with Dahan, now seems to lack considerable imagination for Dahan’s textile industry.

   As for the Jiangdong side, I probably can’t imagine it.

   As for Xuchang, I am afraid it is even more unimaginable.

  If not, it wouldn’t be the case that a dignified prime minister, Chang Shi, defected to the past. Apart from being used for publicity at the beginning, there was not much news about it later.

  General Cao is just like in history, monopolizing power, acting arrogantly and extravagantly, being disloyal to the royal family, and being dishonest to humanity, without any change.

  This is fine, the more it is like this, the more they can’t imagine what kind of huge monster they will face in the future.

  There are three main places where horses are produced in the world, Liang, Bing, and You.

  And after the Dahan acquired a Liangzhou, why was he able to form a cavalry army stronger than that of the Wei State?

  That was all made with massive resources.

  Where do these resources come from?

  While vigorously developing productivity, it also attacked the aristocratic family, and at the same time used all means to frantically siphon resources from all parties.

  This party is not just Wei and Wu.

   And extraterritorial.

  For example, Hua Xiaowu’s cavalry team went all the way south across Mount Ailao to obtain water jade for polishing telescopes and Linyi rice seeds.

   Not to mention the north.

  The horse thieves on the prairie now grab the wool first and then other things—wool is more valuable than cattle and sheep, and it is easy to get around.

  The most important thing is not to hurt the flock, and it is a sustainable business without capital.

  As for the west, after the Zhang family re-opened the Western Regions, the Silk Road, which is famous all over the world, has a steady stream of caravan exchanges.

  Silk, brown sugar, tea, etc. are the most popular products on this road.

  A brick of brown sugar can be exchanged for half a piece of gold of the same volume in the Western Regions.

  If it is sold together with honey and tea bricks, it will double.

  Feng’s concubine’s brother-in-law (Li Tong) has innovated beekeeping techniques on the basis of summarizing previous experience.

   But the output is still far from enough after all, and it is considered remarkable if it can meet the daily needs of the top dignitaries in the Han capital.

  So the honey of the Han Dynasty was transported to the Western Regions, and was sealed with exquisite celadon by some unscrupulous caravans, and then wrapped in beautiful silk outside the celadon.

   Then, in conjunction with the superior culture of the strong man who has been deeply rooted in the Western Regions for hundreds of years, they wantonly promote and sell honey, which is called Xianlushui.

  The heads and chiefs of the countries in the Western Regions are flocking to it, and sometimes it is even more popular than silk.

  As for brown sugar, even though Jingzhou delivers a large amount of raw sugar to the big man every year, but brown sugar is a strategic material, no matter how it is produced, it is far from enough.

   Not enough for military use, let alone civilian use.

  The most popular on the grasslands are tea and spirits.

  For a few bricks of tea, a jug of spirits, some horse-riding men on the prairie can even pack and sell their wives and daughters together.

  Therefore, the flow of tea into the Western Regions is also rare.

  Looking at it this way, the largest supply of commodities transported by the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions is silk.

   It’s just silk brocades. Not only do the Western Regions want them, but also the Wei and Wu countries in the east.

   Not to mention that the big man himself consumes a lot of silk and satin every year.

  Although Da Sima Feng started two-season silkworm more than ten years ago, after so many years of development, three seasons and even four seasons have appeared.

   But silk is still extremely scarce.

  To be precise, Dahan’s textile industry has always been in a state of shortage of raw materials—whether it is silk or wool.

  So most of the excellent foreign horse breeds in the Liangzhou horse farm were exchanged for these in-demand items from the Western Regions.

  Anyway, in Feng Da Sima’s view, unless the industrial revolution occurs, the productivity of Dahan will undergo a qualitative leap.

   Otherwise, I am afraid that these things will not be sold in this life.

  However, the upstart forces represented by the Xinghanhui have faintly assumed the face of certain classes after the Industrial Revolution.

   For example, began to consciously seek cheaper sources of raw materials.

  Feng, as the great Sima of the great Han, seeks Jingzhou for the sake of the country is for the public.

  As the leader of the Xinghan Association, it is not normal to find a way to turn Jingzhou in another country into a raw material production area, and do it easily, both public and private.

  Qin Bo, who didn’t think there was any problem with Jingzhou as the origin of raw materials, was relieved:

   “With Da Sima’s words, Bo can rest assured.”

   Feng Da Sima put down his teacup, with encouraging eyes, he said to Qin Bo:

   “You can do whatever you want to do with the Qin school, as long as you do it well, I, Feng, will never treat my own people badly.”

   “Understand, understand, no one knows, Da Sima’s kindness to his own people is rare in the world.”

  Qin Bo nodded repeatedly.

   “Ha!” Feng Da Sima couldn’t help laughing out loud, and pointed at Qin Bo, “Just based on your words, I will give you another great achievement.”

   As he said, Feng Da Sima looked around deliberately to make sure that the servants were not there, so he reached under the desk with a little mystery and took out a wooden box.

  But seeing the wooden box, the whole body revealed dark gold, and with the changes of Feng Da Sima’s movements, the golden color of the wooden box also faintly changed in light and dark.

   At first glance, it is made of extremely high-quality golden nanmu.

   “I have heard that Lord Wu often talked about immortals with Louhou (namely Zhang Zhao) during his lifetime, so I guess that Lord Wu is probably interested in matters of immortals.”

   “Coincidentally, among my teachers, although they have a little dabble in the matter of cultivating immortals.”

   As he said, Feng Da Sima pushed the wooden box towards Qin Bo, “This box contains the secret medicine of the teacher, with prescriptions for its usage.”

   “Although this thing cannot help people become immortals, it can also give people a glimpse of the joy of cultivating immortals.”

  When Qin Bo heard this, he was surprised at first, then delighted, and finally hesitant again.

  He wanted to stretch out his hand, then subconsciously took it back, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then looked at Feng Da Sima:

   “Da Sima, this…”

  It is no secret that His Majesty was interested in matters of immortality in his early years.

  However, in recent years, the school affairs office has been ordered to secretly collect the world’s rare medicines, but even the important officials in the court don’t know about it.

  So Qin Bo was startled because he thought that Da Sima actually knew the secret order.

  But he quickly realized that this should be impossible, so he naturally followed suit.

   After all, the sect behind Da Sima is mysterious and unpredictable, and most of the things that can be produced are good things that are hard to find in the world.

   In this way, wouldn’t it be possible to complete one more of the things His Majesty told you?

  It was finally realized that although Wu and Han are allies, how important is your Majesty’s safety? How can you easily trust the medicinal materials offered by important ministers from other countries?

  But if you don’t take it, it will refute Da Sima’s face again…

  Da Sima seemed to see Qin Bo’s embarrassment, and said with a smile:

   “Don’t worry, I will write a letter to Lord Wu, this is my little gift to Lord Wu as a token of goodwill.”

  Over the years of the alliance between Han and Wu, it has become common for the monarchs and ministers of the two countries to communicate with each other, and to send greetings and gifts.

  For example, when the prime minister was there, Emperor Sun wrote to the prime minister to ask for a good war horse as a mount for Zhuge Ke.

   As the successor of the prime minister, Feng Da Sima is now the most important minister of the Han Dynasty. It is most normal to write a letter to Lord Wu to express his friendship.

   “It stands to reason that I should have written this letter a long time ago, but in the past few years, I have been busy with affairs and have almost no leisure.”

   “I also hope that after Principal Qin goes back, he will make a confession to Lord Wu for me. This will be my gift of apology to Lord Wu.”

  Qin Bo breathed a sigh of relief, and took over:

   “Bo must convey it to Da Sima.”

  After speaking, he carefully put it away.

   As long as you don’t ask yourself to submit it in private.

  Since it is considered as a gift between the monarchs and ministers of the two countries, His Majesty will have his own judgment after receiving this secret medicine.

   Thought so, but Qin Bo felt a little strange in his heart.

  Da Sima has always acted meticulously and was known for foresight, but this time, he seemed a little too reckless.

  Your Majesty, with a body of gold, how could it be possible to take drugs of unknown origin?

  Even if Da Sima said it was his teacher’s secret medicine, I’m afraid it won’t work.

  However, he did not dare to say this question.

   After all, this is no longer a question he can ask.

  What Qin Bo didn’t know was that after he left, Feng Da Sima sat on his seat and looked at his back with a cold look in his eyes.

  Of course he knew that it was impossible for Sun Quan to use the so-called secret medicine he sent over.

  He sent this secret medicine, not because of the medicine, but because of the meaning of the act of delivering the medicine.

  Feng Da Sima is reminding Sun Quan that you took away the secret treasure of my teacher, I have already guessed it!

   What are you going to do?

  Prince Sun Deng died of illness, Emperor Sun, you are already old, time is not waiting for you, Emperor Sun!

   Don’t you have a sense of urgency?

  Feng Da Sima has a big appetite. He not only wants to hit the grass Lu Xun, but also hugs the rabbit Sun Dadi!
