Liu Xin shook his head and said, "No, put those two places first, and then wait to figure out Sun Jian's situation, I plan to take Xichuan first." ”

Frustrated with frowning eyebrows, he said: "The terrain of Xichuan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I'm afraid this battle is not very easy to fight." ”

Liu Xin knew what he was worried about, as the financial manager of Jingzhou, although he once said that Jingzhou's money and grain were enough to support several big battles, but it was all based on the strong combat effectiveness and sophisticated equipment of the Jingzhou army, and the roads in Xichuan were difficult, the transportation was inconvenient, and the large-scale siege equipment could not be used.

Of course Liu Xin understands these truths, but he still wants to take Xichuan first, because Liu Yan and he were the first to be appointed as the state pastor, although Liu Yan declared that the rebellion continued, in fact, Liu Xin knew very well that it was just a pretext for him to be self-reliant, in fact, the situation in Yizhou was still very stable over the years, both the people and the government were relatively wealthy, after Liu Bei entered Sichuan in history, a surname was rewarded to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun They had as much as 500 catties of gold, and all of this gold was taken out of Liu Zhang's treasury. It can be seen that Yizhou was already quite wealthy at that time.

The strategy of attacking Xichuan first had already been established when Liu Xin talked to Guo Jia just now, and he also thought of giving Liu Yanan a charge so that the teacher could become famous.

Looking at the depressed expression on his face, Liu Xin said lightly: "You don't have to worry, I won't do it now, tomorrow you will repair a book and order someone to send it to Luocheng, just say that I, Liu Xin, want to borrow from Yizhou, go out of Hanzhong, attack Chang'an, and crusade against Dong Zhuo." ”

Fu Zhu was silent for a moment, and suddenly clapped his hands and said: "The lord is clever in this move, if Liu Yan agrees to borrow the Dao, my army can enter the city openly, if he does not agree to borrow the Dao, then he can be classified into Dong Zhuo's party and justifiably crusade against him." ”

Liu Xin said with a smile: "Gonghe, this trick is not something I came up with, it is a strategy of filial piety, it is enough to damage, haha, haha......"

Originally, Guo Jia's suggestion was to take the north first, but Liu Xin, with his understanding of history, knew that the princes of the northern towns would soon fall into a scuffle, and he could take advantage of the fisherman's profits, and he didn't have to be in a hurry.

Looking at the elated Liu Xin, he couldn't laugh, and said with a solemn face: "Lord, I'm afraid Liu Yan won't agree to borrow it." ”

Liu Xin also suppressed his laughter, snorted coldly, and said: "It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm sure, I just hope that he won't borrow the Tao so that he can be charged with a crime, if he lends it to me, I'm not very easy to do, don't worry, it's not time to do it yet, there are many things to prepare, and I won't let the soldiers make senseless sacrifices." ”

Returning to the state pastor's mansion again, Liu Xin did not enter the study, he had already figured out that he now had so many subordinates, he didn't need to be careful, as long as he grasped the general direction, how to act could be completely handed over to them, so he walked directly into the backyard,

Qiao'er was waiting for Liu Yu to return from school at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw Liu Xin coming in, she hurriedly greeted her, and said with a blessing: "Master, why did you come back so early today." ”

Liu Xin smiled and said, "I'm usually too busy and neglect you, I will accompany you more in the future, madam." ”

Qiao'er pointed to the inside of the house and said, "Madame has been busy inside for a day. ”

"Then I'll go in and take a look, you go and get busy." Liu Xin raised his foot and was about to enter the house, when he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, did you take the medicine prescribed by Mr. Zhang on time?" ”

Qiao'er blushed and nodded,

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "That's good, remember to stick to taking medicine, it will get better, there is another Mr. Hua from the medical school, and his medical skills are also very smart, please ask him to help you take a look in a few days, you go first." ”

Qiao'er agreed, turned around and walked away, she didn't expect Liu Xin to keep her illness in mind, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.

Hearing Liu Xin talking to Qiao'er outside, Ma Yun didn't stop what she was doing, even Liu Xin walked behind her, she continued to draw something on the piece of paper, and then nodded twice, looked at it, and then said with satisfaction: "Okay, it's done." ”

Liu Xin asked puzzledly, "What is done?" ”

Ma Yun smiled, handed him a piece of paper, and said, "Husband, come and see, what is this." ”

Liu Xin took the piece of paper, slightly larger than the standard envelope, with many patterns drawn on it, with the words fifty taels in the middle, and the Arabic numerals marked with the word "50" in the four corners, but it was blank, Liu Xin said in surprise: "You have been busy all day, and you are really designing banknotes." ”

Ma Yun "Gege" said with a smile: "Paper money is just talking, how can it be so easy, even if it is made, people's concepts may not be acceptable, this is a silver ticket, this is a hundred taels, this is five hundred taels, and a thousand taels, you see, this one is ten thousand taels." ”

Liu Xin was a little dumbfounded, he took the silver ticket of 10,000 taels, the front and the fifty taels are not much different, but the back painted a head, take a closer look, a little familiar, surprised: "This seems to be me, you painted it." ”

Ma Yun said proudly: "Of course, sketching criminals is my forte. ”

Liu Xin said angrily: "I am a state pastor, but I am not a criminal. ”

Ma Yun snorted lightly and said, "Aren't you just a thief, don't think that I won't recognize you if I change my vest." ”

Before Liu Xin could react, she covered her mouth and chuckled again, and said: "By the way, Mr. Cai came here in the afternoon, and he was so excited to see those classics that he couldn't speak for a long time, and he was even happier than seeing his grandson. ”

Liu Xin nodded and said: "He thought about it right, these classics are priceless treasures, they should be copied a few more copies and kept in different places to prevent them from being lost or damaged. ”

Ma Yun didn't answer him directly, but asked, "A few of us have run some industries outside, you know about this." ”

Liu Xin said without thinking: "I know, this is a good thing, they are still young like you, if they have nothing to do all day, they will definitely get sick, but there is no shortage of money at home, just let them spend time, do you still want to open a money bank." ”

Ma Yun said disdainfully: "Don't underestimate us, now the income of these industries is much higher than your money, but the business is bigger, there is more money, and the problem is coming, do you remember when we went to the river from Juchao, those copper coins are dozens of carts, a waste of manpower, and it is not easy to count, yesterday said that the issuance of currency, it was a joke, but I remembered the silver ticket, we can open a money bank, to facilitate the flow of funds." ”

Liu Xin was taken aback and said, "You have already made so much money, you can already open a money bank." ”

Ma Yun glanced at him and said: "How can we afford to open a money village with our own money, I mean that the Jingzhou official came forward to open a money bank, although Jingzhou is rich, but there is a lack of gold and silver, although the surplus taxes have been exchanged for gold and silver as much as possible over the years, but I checked the account books in the morning, the silver in the treasury is only three million taels, and the gold is fifty thousand taels. ”

Liu Xin hesitated: "Your idea is good, but I'm afraid that people won't be able to accept it for a while." ”

Ma Yun said with confidence: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, I have already thought about it, so I will open a Jingzhou money village in the name of the government, headquartered in Xiangyang, and each county will first set up a branch, deposit and exchange, and if everything goes well, it will be expanded to various counties." ”

Liu Xin thought for a while and said: "Okay, just listen to you, open a money bank, even if it is not successful, at most you will lose some paper, but the name Jingzhou Money Village is too small, if you want to get a big one, it will be called Dahan Money Village." ”

Just do it, the two of them immediately sat down, and carefully discussed the matter of opening a money bank, because the money bank can be said to be a new thing now, if it is directly handed over to them to do it, it is estimated that they will not be able to do it well, therefore, many details must be considered in advance, and the two of them have been talking until the sun is east, and then all of them are finalized.

In the end, Liu Xin looked at the hand-painted silver ticket of 10,000 taels in his hand, and said depressedly: "I think it's better not to print my avatar, in case someone uses it as a piece of paper, then I won't be miserable." ”

Ma Yun snatched the silver ticket and laughed wildly: "Who is willing to take 10,000 taels to wipe his buttocks, it won't become a golden butt, okay, this one is not issued, this one is the only one, my private collection." ”

The sky gradually darkened, Liu Xin put away the dense pieces of paper from the table, full of the articles of association of the bank, and said: "If it is a man, he must keep his promise, it is late, no longer talk about business, our whole family will have a good and lively life, I will cook it myself and make a sumptuous dinner." ”

Ma Yun said with a smile: "Where is the need for you to do it yourself, I know that you didn't eat well yesterday, Zhu Qian was busy all afternoon, and now it must have been all done, you just wait to eat ready-made." ”

The dinner in the state pastoral house is the most lively, generally at this time the family is the most complete, although there are no precious ingredients, but the food is very fresh, coupled with the unique cooking method and nutrition, color and other aspects of the reasonable match, always mouth-watering,

Minchan was also attracted by such a delicacy, she secretly made up her mind, even if she couldn't fully explain the mission of Wang Yun, she had to try to learn how to make these meals, but she never had the opportunity to get close to the kitchen to see how these dishes were made, not that Liu Xin and Ma Yun wanted to keep them secret, but because she was now a "dangerous person", how could she get involved in the kitchen,

After dinner today, everyone was ready to go back to their rooms as usual, but Liu Xin was very interested, stood up and stopped everyone, and said, "It's still early, I propose, how about a family party." ”
