Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

In the past, Zhang Xiucheng fantasized about traveling through the Three Kingdoms era, and of course he also focused on studying how to make a fortune if he really crossed over.

Only when you have money can you raise soldiers, this is a simple truth.

But Zhang Xiu felt that making money was not suitable in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.

The way of a businessman is in a peaceful and prosperous world, and the background behind it is hard enough to do a profitable business. If in troubled times, there is no business environment. Without a backstage, it's just the ear food of the strong.

The merchant is, in a way, just an ATM for the ruler.

In troubled times, robbery is the first way to get rich. As advertised by a certain game, robbing food, money, and women...

Of course, the robbery was only temporary. A truly strong army needs a steady supply of money and food, and needs a rich territory as a foundation.

Just like Zhuge Liang said, "internal cultivation of political principles".

Or copy Cao Cao, "Northern Tuntian".

But that's too far away. Unless he has a county, he can't talk about these things. Now, he is not enough for the "First Brigade," and his territory is no more than the hundreds of acres of fertile land that the Zhang family has outside the city.

Then he looked up at Wang Shi and said in a deep voice: "Find two reliable sons who grew up with me since childhood, and go and check who has money in our right Fufeng." Although

there are hundreds of teenagers, Zhang Xiu trusts the most is the son who grew up together. Robbery is such a thing, and the reputation is not too good to say, and you need to find a reliable person.

"No. Wang Shi was selected by Zhang Xiu as the leader, and naturally he was also a shrewd person, and when he heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he promised in a deep voice.

Wang Shi then got up and left the table and went out the door. At the door, he met Zou who came from Wan Ting, and suddenly he didn't dare to look more, so he bent down and bowed his head and saluted: "Madam." "

Hmm. "The Zou family has a weak personality, and he is only indifferent to Zhang Xiu, and he is even more indifferent to Wang Shi and others, so he just hummed softly.

Wang Shi then left, and Zou entered the living room.

"Why is Auntie here?" asked Zhang Xiu a little strangely, and stood up and saluted respectfully to the Zou family.

"Your uncle wrote a letter back to the family, naming him for Da Lang. Zou took a white cloth rolled up in a ball and tied with a black rope from the hand of a maid behind him, and Wan Ting came to Zhang Xiu's front and handed it to Zhang Xiu.

Immediately, she twisted her waist and turned away.

"Thank you, Auntie, for sending it. Zhang Xiu bent down and thanked him, and sent Zou out of the door. Then he took the white cloth and walked back.

After returning to his seat and sitting down, Zhang Xiu opened the rope and unfolded the white cloth. Dense handwriting is written on it.

There was already paper in the Han Dynasty, but the paper was not yet mature, and it was a shoddy product. The books people read are still mostly made of bamboo slips, and the letters are generally made of cloth.

One of Zhang Xiu's ways to make money is to make money by making paper and books..... But that's for later.

Zhang Xiu quickly read the letter, and then crumpled it up and threw it aside. Zhang Ji scolded him for a while in the book, telling him to keep to himself in the future.

"Ann, Ann is a fart. I was about to lead my army to plunder and solve the problem of uselessness in the army. Zhang Xiu thought to herself.

Zhang Ji's wish to hope that his nephew would keep to himself was finally a dream in vain.

The young man under Zhang Xiu's command is still quite powerful. It's only been two days, and there is news.

On the morning of this day, Wang Shi galloped back to Huaili City, and after entering the city, he dismounted and walked into Zhang's house to report.

Zhang Xiu was practicing a big gun in front of the hospital, and although the weather was getting colder, Zhang Xiu was only wearing a loose short coat, revealing his lean and strong arms.

"Go and wait for me in the living room. Zhang Xiu saw Wang Shi coming in a hurry, handed the big gun to the young man next to him, and after giving an order, he took the sweat towel from the hand of another young man, wiped the sweat, and then went to the living room.

After entering the living room, Zhang Xiu sat on the first place, looked at Wang Shi who was sitting on the side and said, "Can you find out clearly?"

"Back to the little master, I have found out clearly. There were three or four wealthy merchants on the right side of the wind, all of whom were guarded by soldiers with spears and bows. The sons and daughters investigated, and it was the Maoling royal family's weakest defense, and the Wang family had a manor outside the city and hoarded some money and grain.

Wang Shi clenched his fists with both hands and said.

Zhang Xiu was quite satisfied, raised his head and said to Wang Shi: "The sons and daughters of the pathfinder have done a good job, give them some rewards." You go back and tell Pound to let him pick his men and we'll leave tomorrow morning. The night after tomorrow, we do it. "

No. Wang Shi naturally didn't say anything, and after answering the promise, he got up and left in a hurry.

"Maoling!" Zhang Xiu got up and went to Zhang Ji's study, took a yellowed landscape map and put it back, sat down and looked at it carefully.

This is a map of three auxiliaries, with dozens of cities in the three counties of Jing Zhaoyin, Right Fufeng, and Left Feng Yi, which are impressively listed. These places will be Dong Zhuo's territory in the future.

Guanzhong Plain. These three counties have vast farmland and fertile land, and they are the "land of abundance". These three counties are bounded by Weishui, with Fufeng on the right, Feng Yi on the left, and Jingzhaoyin in the south.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty took Chang'an as its capital. Right Fufeng and Left Feng Yi are important counties in the north of the capital to defend the grassland cavalry.

Maoling is in the east of Huaili, a distance of one or two hundred miles. The famous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was buried in Maoling.

"Money and food. Zhang Xiuhu stared at Maoling for a moment, then rolled up the map and put it back in the study.

Just as he was putting the map away, Zhang Xiu suddenly heard a rush of footsteps. A moment later, an old soldier walked in and reported: "Little master, there is a merchant outside the door who claims to be the king of Maoling, and he is out with his son Wang Yuan to ask for a meeting. "

Zhang Xiu was really stunned, this can't be so weird??? I just wanted to rob a merchant surnamed Wang in Maoling, so a Maoling man surnamed Wang brought his son to meet

the merchant Wang of Maoling..... Most of them are his targets.

Why are they looking for me?

Zhang Xiu exhaled, waved his hand and said to the old man: "Invite their father and son into the living room to sit down, and I will arrive later." "

No. The old man said yes and turned to leave.

Although Zhang Xiu didn't know what was going on in his heart, he acted quickly. He went back to the bedroom, put on a more decent white wide-sleeved robe, and then walked into the living room, and saw a merchant surnamed Wang.

The father and son are somewhat similar in appearance, both are white and handsome, but Wang Ding has three long beards, and Wang Yuan has a white beard.

Zhang Xiuxian arched his hand to the father and son, and Wang Ding returned the salute to the father and son. After that, Zhang Xiu came to sit down on the throne and asked bluntly, "Mr. Wang." I have never had a friendship with the Maoling Wang. Why did you suddenly come to visit today?"

Wang Ding looked at Zhang Xiu slightly, and only felt that although this person was young, he was so imposing.

"True heroes too. He was amazed.

Wang Yuan also secretly looked at Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu's straightforward words turned the manuscript in Wang Ding's heart into flowing water. He also said bluntly: "My home is in Maoling, only more than 100 miles away from Huaili. The family makes a living by selling horses, and the family has a lot of money. Shake the little general Fanglie, and hear that the little general is recruiting teenagers. Dedicated to you. That's

too blunt. Zhang Xiu was stunned again, he just wanted to rob the Wang family, but he didn't expect Wang Ding to come to offer.

Could it be that this Wang Ding is also a traverser? There is also a system? Can it be good luck and avoid evil?

But Zhang Xiu thought about it, this is impossible. If it is a traverser, who will be willing to be subservient to others? This king is afraid that he simply wants to make sacrifices.

This kind of thing was very common in the late Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei was able to raise troops because of the funding of Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang.

Cao Cao stayed in Chen, and because of the financial support of Wei Zi's family, he was able to raise troops to defeat Dong Zhuo.

When he was in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu also used his family wealth to support Liu Bei and helped a lot.

In troubled times, smart businessmen will choose strong heroes and try to bind each other with their family wealth, so as to prosper and lose both.

He was in Huaili City and had a good reputation, and Zhang Ji was a general under Dong Zhuo and held military power. The two uncles and nephews are also considered to be famous, and it is also common sense to attract wealthy businessmen like Wang Ding.

It's weird, it's just weird, he just wanted to rob the other party, but the other party went first.

Zhang Xiu did not doubt that he had him, and solemnly arched his hand and said: "Mr. is really noble, I will have a good reward." "

Although robbery is a quick way to make a fortune, it is good to have money without robbery.

After some conversation, Wang Ding personally held a white cloth and handed it to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu looked at it, it was a list of offerings.

Five horses.

15 horses.

Grain 1000 stone.

Gold 100.

Although it is not bankrupt, this contribution also makes the Wang family hurt. Zhang Xiu solemnly took the white cloth and expressed his gratitude again.

After that, Wang Ding and his son Wang Yuan bowed to Zhang Xiu and got up to say goodbye. Zhang Xiu personally sent the father and son out of the gate, and saw the carriages, horses, and goods parked outside the gate of the house brought by the Wang father and son.

In front of the gate, the father and son bowed their hands to Zhang Xiu again, and Wang Ding said respectfully: "The little general doesn't have to send each other." "

Take care all the way. Zhang Xiu also returned the salute with a solemn face.

Then the father and son turned over and rode to the east of the city, accompanied by some retinues.

"Although this father and son are trying to make my reputation, they are dedicated and have a utilitarian heart. But it is also a charcoal in the snow, and I will never forget this matter. Zhang Xiu said secretly in her heart. After seeing the father and son leave, he turned around and instructed an old soldier: "Pegasus immediately go to Pound outside the city and tell him about it." And asked him to send troops and bring all the grain and horses to the barracks. "

No. The old man agreed, and immediately climbed on a war horse contributed by Wang Ding, and went out of the city.

Zhang Xiu, who had made a contribution, was in a very good mood. Then he turned back to the mansion and continued to practice big guns and boil his body.

Martial arts can't be put down, he will meet such a ruthless character as Lu Bu in the future.
