Yu Yi looked at sang Yu deeply and asked, "how many people are working for Duke Liu in the central plains like this?"
There are many ways to say this. It is to test whether sang Yu comes from a certain aristocratic family. It is to ask whether sang Yu is the son of an aristocratic family, and Liu Yan is in the Central Plains... At least Qingzhou can get the support of most aristocratic families, giants and families.
"I want to say a lot, but my words are very empty." Sang Yu said with a smile, "only so far, there is only one family like this, followed by the Lu family in Jiangxia."
Yu Yi's eyes stared very big, some stunned and confused: "in this way, how can Liu Gong develop like this?"
That's right. If you want to rise in these years, you must get the support of at least some groups. The most realistic thing is to have at least a strong and powerful force. After all, only the support of civilians can't bring the wealth at the beginning of power development. Without wealth, how can you have food and strategists, then there is no foundation of rise.
The group with sufficient resources in any era is not civilians, but at least rich households. Families that can become local giants also have a number of resources. Many forces that can develop are at least supported by giants in order to survive in the early stage.
Don't talk about those figures who only use civilians to rise. If they really only get the support of civilians at the beginning of development, they need to kill officials, rich families and powerful people everywhere, which is tantamount to robbing them all the way. Usually this kind of force is called roving bandits. It's just that they can transform. Failure to transform is simply to become a stepping stone or stepping stone for someone in troubled times.
Yu Yi couldn't understand that Liu Yan didn't get the support of local giants. It seemed that it was high pressure that forced some small families to take refuge when he occupied part of Changguang county. In the next two years, he absorbed a number of medium-sized families.
Well, according to the popular situation that is willing to understand, Liu Yan, who has only received some support, has no reason to develop into this scale in four years. It is even impossible to afford so many troops. Even if he can afford so many troops, he should not be so well armed.
"I'm ashamed to say." Sang Yu sighed: "I sang's full service to you is a resolution made by the clan assembly in recent two months. I ran away from home and went to my family without permission."
"...." Yu Yi was stunned again. He found that when he communicated with people in the Han Dynasty, he would always get a very powerful message: "Ji Changshi... It seems that he was defeated and captured?"
"Exactly." Sang Yu thought there was nothing to hide: "more than 70% of the people under my family were defeated and captured, and then took effect. The rest... Were rescued when they ran away on the road or were trapped in the hands of Hu prisoners and were about to be made into meat."
Yu Yi would despise it if he didn't know the strength of a strong army before he came into contact with the Han Dynasty. But now, he can't be despised. Liu Yan used such a group of people to the current situation in the Han Dynasty. How to laugh or despise? It only took Liu Yan four years!
"Ashamed." Looking at Yu Yi, sang Yu seemed to expose his family's ugliness: "my family didn't help you, but it made too much profit because of comprehensive investment. It's just salt... Yu Gong may know how much benefit it is."
People depend on food, but it is also difficult to lack salt. Since the Western Han Dynasty, salt and iron have been the main part of profits, which is because they can't be short.
The sangs not only get part of the share, but also are not limited to selling salt. They also get the sale of seafood. They just have to pay before they want to get it, such as investing necessary funds or exchanging people.
Of course, sang Yu didn't say that he had a sister who was one of Liu Yan's concubines. He didn't say how much the Sang family invested in order to obtain those shares.
Yu Yi is a smart man. After thinking about the causes and consequences, he hesitated and asked, "I'm afraid sang has an in laws with Duke Liu?"
"To be honest with Yu Gong, there are." Sang Yu is an honest and reliable young man. He said bluntly, "but it was in the Sang family that he worked for the family. He won those shares first, and then his sister......" the latter words don't need to be too clear. That would be very boring.
"How much share does Liu Gong intend to give to the southern aristocratic family? In what form and to whom?" Yu Yi has been waiting for this for a long time, otherwise he should have left just now.
Sang Yuman said sincerely, "surely Yu Gong knows that there is something else between intimacy and estrangement?"
Yu Yi's chest is stuffy. There is only one direct daughter of Yu's family left, that is Yu Bing's daughter Yu Daolian (the queen of the abandoned emperor Sima Yi). Then... Yu Daolian is only two years old!
The Yu family is the same generation of women as Yu Bing and Yu Yi. There are some common women who have not married. The problem is that they are quite old, basically over the age of 20. Yu Bing and Yu Yi's children are all married. The unmarried common women were originally listed on the list, but Yu Yi now feels that some of them can't do it, but the legitimate women who can do it are only two years old!
"Well... Does Yu Gong know who Xie Daoyi is?" With a shy face, sang Yu said, "I heard it's a famous talented woman?"
Yu Yi nodded: "naturally, I know that she is the eldest daughter of the prefect of Jinling county (Xie Yi). She is twice seven (fourteen)."
In fact, Yu Yi's heart is very strange. This Xie Daoyi is not only talented, but also likes outing. It seems that Wang Ningzhi, Wang Xizhi's second son, often plays together?
Aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River tend to... How to say? That is, the overall social atmosphere is mainly the extravagance of the children of aristocratic families and nobles. The younger generation must be affected, resulting in things like * * without marriage from time to time.
The family style of the Xie family should be relatively good in the south of the Yangtze River. The Wang family where Wang Xizhi is located will not allow the family children to mess around because of their scholarly family. There are some gossip about Wang Ningzhi and Xie Daoyi because they often go on an outing together, but the most ugly rumors do not say that they have been careless.
What's the problem? It's mainly because the two little guys have a good relationship. The Xie family and the Wang family seem to have the meaning of getting married. At least that's what Yu Yi knows. Now sang Yu asked Xie Daoyu, and Yu Yi was absolutely interesting.
"Cough..." Sang Yu looked a little embarrassed and said with a flickering look in his eyes: "my family... Mainly Tai'an and I have always hoped that you can pay attention to your blood and family background, and that we can have a master mother with noble blood, so..."
"It should be understood that before our family children have blood, who should they marry and who should they marry as a wife have long been doomed." Yu Yi must cover for Xie Yi. Sang Yu's meaning of those words is very clear, that is, he aimed at Xie Daoyi. Now he has no way to take out the prepared list. He can only control it and say, "but I don't know. Is your army ready for the war in the coming year?"
"Of course." Sang Yu said with a relaxed smile, "as mentioned earlier, we will join forces with other countries to attack the state of Shijie Zhao."
"It should be understood that any covenant may be false." Yu Yi didn't know what he was thinking, so he reminded: "Murong seal, Zhang Jun and ran min are all crafty people, especially Murong seal and ran min!"
Sang Yu made a wish to hear his detailed expression.
"The former is arrogant, and even his own people kill heavily. He attacked Duan's family for no reason at first. After attacking and killing, he forcibly plundered countless people. It was Murong's strength that came from stepping on Duan's remains. Then he tried to attack the state of Zhao in Shijie. If it was slightly unfavorable, he abandoned his allies and retreated. Recently, he repeatedly attacked the eastern Liaoning countries, and all retreated with one blow. He turned around and attacked the state of Tuoba. What credibility can he say?" Yu Yi is obviously disgusted with Murong Xianbei, But there are others he dislikes more: "The latter first recognized the thief as his father and became a fierce general under Shijie's command. Zhao Jun of Shijie killed the most people because of his frequent visits to the south. Now this upright keeps saying how Han Miao people are and what to do as Jin people. He completely forgets that he, as a fierce general under Shihu's command, killed countless people in the south many times. At that time, he could mention Han Miao people, and what Jin people could he take into account? There was no scruples!"
Sang Yu could feel Yu Yi's hatred for Murong Zhang, but when did the Hu people talk about faith? And the deep fear and hatred of Ran min, which should be because ran min killed the Jin army a little ruthlessly. Ran min did kill many jin army generals several times, and those generals basically came from all aristocratic families south of the Yangtze River. Who would let only those with noble origins be officials in the Eastern Jin Dynasty?
However, sang Yu doesn't care about those. Everyone has caused any harm in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. What does it have to do with the Han Dynasty? What he cares about is how to turn the Xie family under Liu Yan's command!
Xie is capable and will continue to be capable in the years to come. That is a family that Liu Yan covets very much. For example, Xie Xuan, who was just born this year, is one of them. The rest of Xie's children have made achievements. Even Xie Daoyi, who has just been mentioned, is also a very powerful woman.
It's very difficult to abduct Xie family. It's no less than directly sending troops to attack the south of the Yangtze River and destroy the small ~ dynasties ~ courts in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Can you selectively abduct some people first?
"Liu Jian?" Yu Yi was depressed again. He was speaking up and severely attacked some people he disliked and hated. Sang Yu turned the topic again. There was no need to mention the degree of depression, but he had to be patient: "I haven't heard of him."
Do you know Liu Guzhi? That is also a very important figure in the future. He is a fierce general of the Beifu army. His father's name is Liu Jian, but he is not an aristocratic family south of the Yangtze River. If there is no mistake, he should be in the state of Zhao in Shijie. He may be an official in a certain place or a powerful man in a fortress.
Hanbu needs more talents, which is very, very many!
Sang Yu knew such a thing. In order to find a talent named Wang Meng, Liu Yan sent a team to Wei county more than once. Wei county is the nest of the San family, or did he find Wang Meng alone after the San family made efforts in Wei county.
What was Wang Meng doing when he was found? He lives in other people's homes and can only rely on cutting firewood for food on weekdays. Even so, he must be able to read in his spare time. As long as he can read, he will never let go.
Yes, Liu Yan found Wang Meng with the help of sang in Weijun. Now Wang Meng is secretly going to Qingzhou with the migration team of Sang Yu family, but he doesn't know when he can reach Liu Yan.
Yu Yi is sure when he will go to Xiami, Qingzhou, which indicates that he has been going to and from both sides of the Yangtze River.
The determined process is that the envoys in the Eastern Jin Dynasty can take the ships of the Han Dynasty, but the ships cannot be handed over to the hands of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. At the same time, the number of envoys decreased from 3000 to 800, that is, in addition to the chief and Deputy envoys, some children of aristocratic families can go if they want, but don't think of bringing more than a dozen or hundreds of attendants or maidens alone.
"That's it." Sang Yu liked to laugh very much and smiled quite brightly: "there can be 500 Jin troops with him. After all, there should be a lot of pomp. But they will be concentrated on one ship, not with Yu Gong and others."
Yu Yi and others had already compromised on this, or it would not have fallen from 3000 to 800.
The structure of the envoys of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was somewhat strange. Yu Yi and sun Chuo were the principal and Deputy envoys respectively, accompanied by nearly 40 aristocratic families. Apart from 500 Jin soldiers, the rest were attendants and maids, and maids accounted for the vast majority. This is exactly what sang Yu said that aristocratic families south of the Yangtze River could not live without women.
Now that it has been determined and the monsoon is very suitable to sail from south to north, Han warships officially entered Jingkou on the sixth day. As a result, those ships sailed out of Jingkou Shuizhai on the eighth day.
The reason for the delay of two days is that some people load necessary materials. Most of the time, those aristocratic families procrastinate. They want to bring everything. As a result, the ship capacity is insufficient, and even some aristocratic families want to deceive the number of people.
There were only 20 fleets escorting the Eastern Jin mission, 15 warships and five transport ships. The five transport ships carry very miscellaneous things, only a small part of which is the so-called reward. Most of them are for the enjoyment of the children of the aristocratic family. The reason is that they think there must be a shortage of materials in the Han Dynasty. How can they live without what they should bring?
"The worst thing I expected didn't happen." Sang Yu talked to Li Kuang: "at least it proves that they have fully understood our strength."
In the future, Li Kuang will be the supreme military commander of Jiangdu as a colonel of Jiangdu. The organizational structure under his command is somewhat large. In addition to the thousands of people in the headquarters, a total of more than 500 ships are also under his command.
Sang Yu will leave in a few days. Later, Li Kuang will become the leader on the North Bank of the Yangtze River.
Li Kuang, the leader, should not only be responsible for the military, but also shoulder the trade with the South Bank of the Yangtze River. It can be said that he has a great responsibility. He was in a mood of excitement and anxiety. What made him feel even more stressed was that he had hidden tasks, including how to cheat, rob, abduct and abduct a little woman named Xie Daoyi... That's what happened anyway.
