Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Adou, don’t need anyone to support me
Chapter 396
You must know that the price of these grains and grasses was raised by Sima Yi by as much as five times and sold to King Tianzhu.
And that's only part of the story. Sima Yi also opened up trade with the western principalities, of course, he did not sell weapons to them, but mainly grain.
There is also the Kushan Empire, don't look at their army is very strong, very powerful.
However, the food and grass are not good, and the soldiers' salaries are not enough, so it is easy to lose the battle.
In this case, all countries need to purchase large quantities of grain and grass. In the country, there is not enough food, so it can only be purchased from outside.
At the same time, Sima Yi also sold the seeds of these grains at a high price.
One pound for one pound!
From the grain, Sima Yi earned countless gold and silver. In a year, Sima Yi earned 5,000 catties of gold in grain.
Therefore, the war in the entire Tianzhu Kingdom actually has the shadow of the Han Dynasty behind it. Of course, instead of helping these people to achieve victory on the surface, they emptied the treasury of various countries from the side.
Sima Yi's strategy was that when their treasury was empty and they did not have the strength to attack, they could send troops, and then they could win the battle.
Although he is not in charge of this battle, his method has indeed been supported by Ma Chao.
In this way, Sima Yi was active in Tianzhu.
And Ma Chao took the money they earned, and continued to build various official roads in Qi Qiguo, in Myanmar, and in the land of Jiaozhou in the Han Dynasty. Moreover, since cement began to be produced in large quantities, they have tried to pour reinforced concrete on top of the original official road so that they can get better transportation.
However, their main forces were all concentrated in the territory of Qi Qiguo.
The current Qi Qiguo has an army of nearly 500,000.
King Qi Qi saw that the army of more than 500,000 people was wandering in his territory all day long, and he panicked. He sent a capable minister to Ma Chao's barracks to meet Ma Chao.
Ma Chao is not surprised by this.
Because since King Qi Qi accepted Liu Chan's suggestion, every once in a while, important ministers in the court would come to visit him, the person with real power.
Ma Chao was free, so he received it, and then took out Dahan's tea and let them taste it.
When he did this, he was actually promoting to their big men.
You see, you come to me, and I entertain you with tea. Then when I go to your house, it is impossible for me to drink plain water.
Over time, this tea has become a must-have in the families of many high-ranking officials. If there are visitors, they mostly serve them tea.
Then, more and more people are buying tea.
How much is a pound of tea?
It may not cost much in China, but when you go abroad, oh no, out of Yunnan, the price is high.
A pound for a pound of gold!
And this is just ordinary tea, if it is of the highest quality, it can often be sold for ten catties of gold.
What is this, this is considered trade.
Ma Chao chatted with Qi Qiguo's Neng Chen for a long time, and the Neng Chen suddenly asked Ma Chao: "I see that the general has been active in Qi Qi's country, and he has no intention of sending troops to attack Tianzhu, I don't know why?" Could it be..."
Ma Chao raised his eyebrows and said: "Why, my Han is active in your territory, although it affects your normal life, but your people, from us, have made a lot of money." That's good for your economy, isn't it? "
"Hehe... I don't mean anything else, I just think that the general has not attacked Tianzhu, which is a bit of a surprise, and has no other meaning. "
"I'm afraid that's what you're here for!" Ma Chao directly made the words clear: "If you want to know, you can, but after you know, I don't dare to guarantee that your head is still on your head." Hmph, what qualifications do you have to inquire about the important military aircraft of my great man, go back (cece) and tell King Qi Qi that if he thinks we are operating in his territory, I can talk to him about it. ..."
Seeing that Ma Chao was really annoyed, Nengchen hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
In fact, although the Han Dynasty was active in their territory, they did not commit any offence against the people, and the labor force they requisitioned from Qi Qi was not gratuitous. Instead, a certain amount of direct 100 dollars is issued every month. This thing can buy a lot of things from their big guys.
Moreover, with the circulation of these Zhibai coins, many merchants in the territory have also acquiesced to the value of Zhibai coins.
In addition, they did not only build official roads, but also helped the people, developed fertile land, built canals, and taught the people here how to grow rice, etc.
These behaviors not only did not harm the people of Qi Qiguo, but everyone welcomed the soldiers of the Han Dynasty very much.
But the more they were like this, King Qi Qi was worried that he, the king, would exist in name only. That's why there was the scene just now.
When I heard that Ma Chao refused to answer this matter, and asked Neng Chen to get out. King Qi Qi knew that his rights were being gradually weakened. On the contrary, the officials of the Han Dynasty gradually gained a status in the court.
Faced with such a situation, King Qi Qi had no choice.
"The king, we have no right to intervene in the affairs of the Han. Moreover, they have not committed any offence against our people. Our previous behavior was indeed a bit reckless. If you end up because of this, I'm afraid..." (If you read violent novels, you will go to Feilu Novel Network!) )
"So what?"
This Neng Chen thought for a while and said, "Another day, I will take some valuable things and apologize to the general." With his character, he definitely won't mind. "
King Qi had no choice but to acquiesce in the matter!
Moreover, he went to the ports in his own country to see the ships of the Great Han.
He was shocked to see ships the size of giant seas docked in their harbors. You know, when they go out to sea, the range of their activities is only within ten miles, and in the depths, they don't dare to go at all.
Moreover, with their own ability, the ships they build are only one-third of their size, and this is still the strength of the whole country to build one. If they were bigger, I'm afraid their ships would have rotted before they were built.
While King Qi Qi was shocked, he also understood a truth. His choice was really wise.
If he wants to resist, I am afraid that this Qi Qi Kingdom will be in ruins in just one month under the bombardment of the other party.
And he suddenly had a curiosity, that is, he wanted to go to the Han to see, to see what their living conditions were, to see under whose leadership they could accomplish such a miracle.
Liu Chan is said to be only thirty years old now.
At such an age, there are such great achievements, I'm afraid it's the first person in the past.
And that's only part of the story. Sima Yi also opened up trade with the western principalities, of course, he did not sell weapons to them, but mainly grain.
