Chapter 994: Gifts from All Sides

Zhao Feng wanted to ask Tian Feng why he made this suggestion.

It's just that the envoy sent by Yuan Shu is in the council hall, and Zhao Feng is hindered by some circumstances, so it is not easy to ask.

Because of this inquiry, Tian Feng will give the reason.

If there is any intention, wouldn't it be known to Yuan Shu's envoy.

However, Zhao Feng thought about it and seemed to think of something.

Yesterday, Tian Feng said that if Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu, his side would be on the sidelines.

And Lu Bu also has a great possibility that he will choose to watch from the wall.

Yuan Shu's removal of Zhao Feng and Lu Bu's assistance is equivalent to cutting off the left and right arms.

And Cao Cao has the assistance of Zhang Yan, Liu Bei, and Liu Biao, and the possibility of Yuan Shu's defeat is very large.

Of course, Zhao Feng knew that even without the assistance of Zhang Yan, Liu Bei, and Liu Biao, Yuan Shu would still not be able to defeat Cao Cao.

Tian Feng's move was actually to indirectly increase the strength of Yuan Shu's army.

After all, where Yuan Shu is located, there is a shortage of war horses!

The only trouble is that the cavalry is not very easy to train, and it will take a lot of time for Yuan Shu to quickly become an army.

However, this kind of large-scale battle cannot be completed in one or two years.

Yuan Shu still had time to train the cavalry.

Tian Feng had just finished putting forward his opinion.

Zhao Feng glanced at the envoy sent by Yuan Shu and found that this envoy's eyes lit up after hearing the war horse.

Zhao Feng knew that the war horse was more important to Yuan Shu than to Zhao Feng.

After all, Zhao Feng is located north of the Yellow River, bordering foreign tribes such as the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei.

If Zhao Feng wants war horses, as long as he spends some money, he can buy a lot of foals from these foreigners every year, and then send them to the horse farm to be domesticated.

After figuring it out, Zhao Feng pretended to be and muttered for a long time: "It's okay." ”

"I have been close friends with the road, and now I am married to the daughter of the road, and it is a family."

"10,000 war horses, just 10,000 war horses!"

You must know that at the current price, Zhao Feng also needs to exchange one hundred and fifty stone of grain for a foal.

If there was no confusion in prices, it would be about 33,005 baht to buy a foal.

In fact, when Zhao Feng first bought a war horse from the Xiongnu traveling merchants, it was 35,000 baht to buy an adult war horse.

It can be seen that after the chaos in the world, the price of war horses has also increased a lot.

According to Zhao Feng's understanding, an adult war horse now costs about 300 stone of grain, to between 500 stone of grain.

And the 10,000 war horses that Zhao Feng gave to Yuan Shu were obviously adult war horses.

After all, it is to improve the combat power of Yuan Shu's army.

The value of these 10,000 war horses, conservatively estimated, is more than 4 million stone grain.

If it is converted to 5 baht before the price of goods is not chaotic, it is 880 million 5 baht.

That's a lot of money!

This is still Zhao Feng's geographical advantage.

If these war horses are transported to Yangzhou, Jingzhou and other places for sale, they will be worth 6 million to 8 million stone of grain.

Converted to five baht coins, it is about 1.6 billion five baht coins.

That's a lot of money!

And with all the taxes in Zhao Feng's entire territory, after deducting military expenditures, it will be almost this number.

This still requires officials at all levels to stop paying salaries and salaries, and all construction tasks such as various water conservancy projects in the administration of the land must also be stopped.

In other words, Zhao Feng helped Yuan Shu save several years of grain taxes.

What's more, it was not so easy for Yuan Shu to buy a war horse.

Because trafficking in the past is not an easy task.

After all, with such a big interest, when passing through the land ruled by other princes, other princes will inevitably use the banner of bandits and yellow turban remnants to rob the war horses.

Of course, things are better now.

After all, Qingzhou Zhang Yan was defeated, and now Qingzhou is divided by Zhao Feng and Lu Bu.

And Zhao Feng and Lu Bu both married Yuan Shu.

As long as Zhao Feng sent a small number of troops, he could escort these 10,000 war horses from Qingzhou into Lu Bu's territory, then through Xuzhou, and finally into Yangzhou Shouchun.

Even if Lu Bu was blushing at these 10,000 war horses, he was embarrassed to do it.

The envoy sent by Yuan Shu waved at Zhao Feng: "The subordinates are the lords, thank King Zhao first!" ”

Zhao Feng nodded and gave Ambassador Xiong a look.

Xiong Da understood and said loudly to everyone: "The lord is sick. ”

"If there is something to do, it will be dispersed if there is nothing!"

Everyone looked at each other a few times, and then walked to the middle of the hall together and waved at Zhao Feng: "I'll retire!" ”

After speaking, they withdrew from the conference hall one after another.

Yuan Shu has not yet ascended the throne, so Zhao Feng's identity is still equal to Yuan Shu.

Then the envoy sent by Yuan Shu could naturally only follow everyone and withdraw from the council hall together.

If Yuan Shu ascends the throne, then the identity of the envoy sent by Yuan Shu will be slightly higher than that of Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng can't be so casual.

Five days later.

The war horses escorted from Dai County, Taiyuan County, and Hexi County arrived at the Yuan clan.

Zhao Feng asked Tian Feng to take over the 10,000 war horses in front of him and let the envoy sent by Yuan Shu take over.

As for the escort mission, Yuan Shu's envoy said that their group could handle it.

The envoy sent by Yuan Shu returned to Yangzhou with 10,000 war horses on the same day.

In fact, when Yuan Shu ascended the throne, Zhao Feng and Lu Bu strictly speaking, they needed to go to Shouchun to watch the ceremony.

Of course, this is according to the law of the Great Han.

Now that the princes are fighting, Zhao Feng and Lu Bu obviously will not leave their land alone, and they will go all the way to Yangzhou.

Half a month later.

Tian Feng walked into the conference hall and waved at Zhao Feng: "Enlighten the lord." ”

"Just got the news."

"Lu Bu's gift to Yuan Shu is a population of 30,000!"

"Among them, there are 10,000 young girls, and 20,000 young men in the year of dancing spoons."

"After inquiry, these 30,000 people were given to Yuan Shu to go to the palace maids and eunuchs!"

After Zhao Feng heard this, he pondered.

With Lu Bu's current situation, if he wants to give a generous gift to Yuan Shu, he obviously can't take it out.

And for the princes of all walks of life now, the cheapest is the population, and the most precious is also the population.

After all, population is not easy to measure in terms of concrete value.

In particular, the 30,000 people sent by Lu Bu were all young people.

Aside from everything else, if a man of this age is used as a soldier, as long as he trains for three or five years, these 20,000 men will all be the elite of the elite.

If it is used to have children, it can add more than 10,000 new births in the second year.

As long as the princes with a little foresight know the importance of the new population!

Compared with 30,000 young men and women, Zhao Feng was willing to send 10,000 war horses to Yuan Shu.

Of course, this is also for Zhao Feng.

After all, Zhao Feng still attaches great importance to human rights.

Among them, there are laws that prohibit the sale of human beings and the giving away of human beings as private property.

Even the deed of sale was replaced by a long-term contract.
