Listening to Guo Jia's suggestion, Liu Xie couldn't help but nodded, to raise imperial power in Shu, the power of the Shuzhong family must be suppressed, and even better, because Shu is closed and the news is closed, some things that cannot be implemented in Chang'an because of fear of influence can be tried in Shu, of course, the premise is that Shuzhong can be taken.
"Cutting Shu, who is feasible" Liu Xie frowned.
The generals under his command, the majority of the cavalry, the terrain of Shu is complex or can be called precipitous, and the generals who are good at mountain combat need to lead the team, Liu Xie is now under his command, there are Lu Bu and other world's first generals, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Fang Sheng, Zhang Xiu, Pang De, Zhang Liao are all good, but if you count these characters, I am afraid that only Huang Zhong and Xu Huang are better at infantry, but Xu Huang is now sitting in the Hetao, and cannot be moved lightly, Huang Zhong can, mountain soldiers must first be good at archery, at this point, Huang Zhong is an expert, and it is right to hand it over to him, It's just that there is still a difference between mountain combat and foot combat.
Zhang Liao may be able to do it too.
Liu Xie thought about it, and put Zhang Liao on the candidate list, after all, he is a brave and strategic general.
Now the biggest advantage of the imperial court is also the cavalry, not only because of the three treasures in the horse, this thing is not high in technology, and it is easy to be learned, but it is Ma Yuan who really becomes the advantage of the imperial court.
Xianbei's vassals, the land of Hetao can provide Liu Xie with a large number of excellent war horses, in addition, the Western Regions also provides a continuous supply of energy, with such an advantage, the imperial court has an advantage in cavalry that no prince on any side has.
But in terms of infantry, it is mediocre, not to mention the soldiers and horses who are good at mountain warfare.
And if you want to enter Shu, the cavalry is basically abolished, and you can only rely on the infantry, and mountain combat is also an inevitable part, the shortcomings of the imperial court are not only lack of soldiers, but also lack of generals.
"This" Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "I heard that in the past, there was a general under the command of Wen Hou, named Gao Shun, with 800 sharp soldiers in his department, who was called a trap, and every time he was in battle, he could conquer everything, and this person may be a pioneer." ” Gao Shun Liu Xie nodded when he heard this, Gao Shun was sent to Hetao by him to replace Zhao Yunzhen to guard Jilu Village, now Xianbei has been flattened, it is enough to have Xu Huang in charge, and it is also appropriate for Gao Shun to be transferred back, but with Gao Shun's qualifications, I am afraid that it is not enough to be the main general, and the position of the pioneer is not bad, but the candidate for the main general, it seems that in addition to Huang Zhong, no one else can be found to serve.
Forget it, let Huang Zhong measure this matter himself, whether he is competent or not, he should know it in his own heart.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be in a hurry about this matter, you can first order someone to contact that Zhang Lu, and start Hanzhong first, as for Shu, you don't have to be in a hurry, wait for the minister to contact the Shuzhong family first."
Guo Jia looked at Liu Xie and smiled.
This is not a trivial matter, to provoke the internal contradictions in Shuzhong, let the Shuzhong family fight first, this process, conservatively estimated to take a year or two, and wait until the troops are dispatched, I am afraid that they will have to wait for a period of time, during this time, you can start training mountain soldiers.
"Then it's up to Fengxiao."
When Liu Xie heard this, he thought about it and turned his head to look at Wei Zhong and said, "The secret guard in Shuzhong, temporarily handed over to Feng Xiao, and listen to his dispatch." ” The secret guard and the secret guard are all intelligence agencies under Liu Xie, one is in charge of Li Ru, but the secret guard has now formed its own rules, even if there is no Li Ru, it can also operate very well, and the main responsibility is to collect intelligence from all over the world, and the secret guard belongs to an intelligence force personally controlled by Liu Xie, Wei Zhong is responsible for picking up intelligence and conveying orders, although it seems to be an errand runner, but can access Liu Xie's core strength, Wei Zhong is also one of the most trusted people around Liu Xie, and now the secret guard in Shuzhong is handed over to Guo Jia, It's a lot of trust.
"Huh" Wei Zhong heard this, and hurriedly agreed.
"There are not many secret guards, I'm afraid there are only more than ten people, but they are all elites trained by me personally, each of them is very precious, Feng Xiao can be used carefully, that is my treasure."
Liu Xie said to Guo Jia with some jokes.
The total number of secret guards is no more than 100 people, but each of them is personally selected by Liu Xie, and he has personally cultivated the dead soldiers, not only with outstanding ability, but also absolutely loyal to Liu Xie.
It is also Liu Xie, who has the opportunity that others do not have, to have the ability to cultivate and use such a group of talents, and no force may have such a big hand.
Guo Jia naturally didn't know the preciousness of the secret guard at the moment, only when Liu Xie was joking with him, and it wasn't until he really took over the secret guard in Shuzhong that he knew what kind of force Liu Xie handed over to him.
After discussing some things about how to subdue Zhang Lu and settle Zhang Lu, Guo Jia said goodbye and left, of course, before leaving, he took a jar of hero wine from Liu Xie as usual, this habit really made Liu Xie a little crying and laughing.
Not to mention that Liu Xie's side has already begun to think about how to subdue Zhang Lu and settle Hanzhong, on the other side of Chang'an City, in the Zhang family's mansion, but there is another matter being discussed.
For the original decision to leave the family and take refuge in the Son of Heaven, Zhang Shiping has always been proud, how long has the Zhang family taken advantage of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, the family's business has risen, and the family has doubled compared to the time when he followed Zhong Xiang before, and this is not the end, as the identity of the Royal Chamber of Commerce is known by more and more people, the Zhang family's connections are also constantly expanding.
For wealthy businessmen, connections are money, and in less than ten years, perhaps the Zhang family will not be much worse than the Zhen family in the past.
The Zhen family got the salt road some time ago, and there is refined salt from the Ministry of Industry, and the recent profits are simply grabbing money, although Liu Xie only allows him to make one percent of the profits, and he has to allocate half of it to Zhang Su and the two families to cooperate.
But as a talker, the Zhen family has the right to decide who to sell to and who not to sell, naturally a large number of traders come to discuss, although the profits of the salt road itself cannot be touched, but it does not prevent the Zhen family from taking advantage of this shareholder wind to develop their own chamber of commerce by the way, and it is precisely because of this that the Zhen family is not only very open in the land of Guanzhong, but also under the rule of the princes and the Western Regions, they are very open.
What does this invisible connection represent, Zhang Shiping naturally knows very well, I heard that the Zhen family has been moving up and down recently, and is preparing to marry the young daughter of the Zhen family, the rumored Zhen Mi who has the appearance of Fengyi in the world, into the palace.
The Zhang family failed to produce such a noble girl, because it was not this life, but it does not mean that Zhang Shiping is willing to live under the Zhen family forever, drink the soup left by the Zhen family, and never get the most profit.
"The head of the family, you are anxiously calling us, what is the matter" Zhang Shiping's brother, who is also a capable clansman of the Zhang family, sat in Zhang Shiping's hand, and looked at Zhang Shiping without borrowing, not only him, but the core figures of the Zhang family, as long as they are in Chang'an, they are all here.
"This time I called for cheers, not for other things, but just to get a thing, please come and estimate the price."
Zhang Shiping carefully took out a sandalwood box from his arms, and in the puzzled eyes of everyone, he took out an eagle carved from glass from the box and handed it to everyone.
Zhang Shiping's brother Zhang Kang carefully took the eagle carving, and after carefully studying it for a while, he turned his head to look at Zhang Shiping and said: "The workmanship is fine, but the color of this glass is not pure, if it is valued, it will be 50,000 yuan at most."
Glass is a rare commodity, when Liu Xie got married, someone sent a palm-sized glass carving, it was amazed, but the workmanship of the eagle carving is not to mention, but the color is more than a little worse, so 50,000 yuan, in his opinion, is already a pertinent addition.
"If I want to sell this item, how much will it cost?"
Zhang Shiping asked noncommittally.
"It can be made for 100,000 yuan, but if you want to make a deal, 70,000 or 80,000 is the limit."
Zhang Kang looked at the carving ornament in his hand, people who can afford this kind of thing must know the goods, and it is really difficult to get 100,000.
"Head of the family, why do you want to ask this today" A retainer looked at Zhang Shiping suspiciously.
"To be honest, I got reliable information from the Ministry of Industry before."
Zhang Shiping smiled slightly and looked at everyone.
"Oh" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but perk up, the news from the Ministry of Industry, put it in the court, obviously even taking it out would make people feel lost, but for them, the wealthy merchant families, this is not a trivial matter.
Hanxing plow, refined salt, etc., everything that came out of the Ministry of Industry has brought huge profits to this day, and the Zhen family has eaten a lot of fat because of a refined salt, but there are more than how many people are envious, and when they hear the news of the Ministry of Industry, everyone's eyes are bright.
"What my brother said is this" Zhang Kang's heart moved, but he looked at Zhang Shiping with some incredulity.

"Exactly" Zhang Shiping nodded affirmatively, and said in a deep voice: "The Ministry of Industry has found a way to produce this thing in large quantities at a very low cost." ” As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar, glass has always been an unattainable thing, every piece of birth, is priceless, but now it is told that this thing can be manufactured in batches, which is simply a subversive concept, but then, it is an unspeakable excitement, they are all businessmen, naturally know that there is a standard profit.
"But Your Majesty is willing" Zhang Kang felt his throat a little dry and looked at Zhang Shiping.
"Yes, Your Majesty is willing to decentralize the management power, but it is not my Zhang family."
Zhang Shiping looked at everyone and said bitterly: "Your Majesty has made it clear that as long as the Su family is willing to move to Chang'an, this thing will be handed over to the Su family to manage." ” "This" Zhang Kang couldn't help but sit down when he heard this, so that his Zhang family would drink some soup at most, just like the refined salt.
"But it's not impossible."
Zhang Shiping looked at everyone's disappointed faces, and said with a smile: "My Zhang family has already moved into Chang'an after the chaos in Chang'an, and what I have to do now is that as long as the Su family is unwilling to move into Chang'an, we will have a chance." ” That's right Everyone's eyes lit up and looked at Zhang Shiping, Zhang Kang hesitated: "It's just that Zhang Su's two families have always been close, this time."
"We are just persuading, not coercing."
Another clansman objected: "Master, I think this plan is feasible. ” "There is no need to deliberately mention it, as long as you talk to the Su family, you inadvertently mention this matter, and then say that my Zhang family's business on the prince's side is now suppressed, as for whether it can be done, it depends on the will of God."
Zhang Shiping said with a smile. t1706231537:
