In the end, Xiaolan did not refuse the job of being a teacher. Just as Xiao Lang said, only Gemstone Island in the world could get a profit of 100,000 yuan. He also wanted to return to work with success and fame.
And when Xiaolan took the ruler and became a teacher, Daqian's special envoy came to Gemstone Island with a mission!
Wan Feng, the envoy of the imperial court, drank the fragrant tea from an exquisite tea cup and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that in this land of Tianzhu, I can actually drink such authentic green tea!"
Yan Liang smiled nonchalantly and said: "These are tea seedlings brought by merchants from Daqian and planted on Gemstone Island. But I didn't expect that the tea grown like this tastes not bad!"
Gemstone Island is not the only industry with gemstone mining. There is also farmland owned by aboriginal people. After all, Tianzhu people have entered an agricultural society and farmland is indispensable. After Yan Liang occupied this place, many maritime merchants felt that they had to go all the way to Jidu for transportation. Goods are not as good as building plantations on Gemstone Island, so there are many tea gardens and sugarcane gardens on Gemstone Island. Among them, tea gardens have just begun to provide tea gardens, but cane sugar can already be supplied to Tianzhu.
After the two sides chatted for a while, the envoy began to get down to the topic: "The imperial court is now very interested in the battle between Liu Bei and the Kushan Empire. The reason why the ruler sent me here this time is to ask the general, who has a greater chance of winning this battle? So that the court can be prepared!"
But Yan Liang smiled bitterly and said: "Although I am close to Liu Bei's forces, I am still 2,000 miles away from the battlefield. Although I have sent many spies, I don't know much about this battle. At most, I only know Liu Bei's strength. But they don’t know anything about the Kushan Empire!”
The envoy could only ask: "Is Liu Bei strong?"
Yan Liang said solemnly: "It is very strong. Now Liu Bei has an army of 500,000 to suppress Tianzhu! And the people of Tianzhu also support Liu Bei very much. With the population of Liu Bei in Tianzhu, it is possible for Liu Bei to try his best to create an army of one million!"
The envoy was surprised and said: "How can Liu Bei, an outsider, be so popular among the people in Tianzhu?"
Yan Liang smiled bitterly and said: "Although Tianzhu has a long history, it has always had a tradition of being conquered by outsiders, so their resistance to Liu Bei is not fierce. Moreover, Liu Bei has learned the policy of equalizing land in power and has already bribed the entire lower class of Tianzhu. The upper echelons of Tianzhu were either killed by Liu Bei or sold to the South China Sea by Liu Bei. In this case, Liu Bei's rule can be said to be monolithic. If Tianzhu people were not good at fighting, and Tianzhu's industry was not as strong as Daqian, It can be said that Southern Tianzhu has been turned into a small and powerful country by Liu Bei!"
After hearing this, the envoy also became serious and said: "If this is really the case, this Liu Bei will become a big disaster and cannot be kept!"
But Yan Liang said helplessly: "But now Daqian's power can no longer affect Liu Bei's actions. We only have 5,000 troops in Tianzhu, and most of them are navy. Only 2,000 people can actually land. With this power Even more so, it affects Liu Bei's rule in Tianzhu!"
At this time, a soldier entered the hall and handed a letter to Yan Liang. Yan Liang opened the letter and took a look at it. Then he smiled bitterly and said to the envoy: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for the imperial court to influence Liu Bei's expansion now. Liu Bei He led a 200,000-strong Tianzhu army to defeat the Kushan Empire's army, and now he really leads an army to attack the Kushan Empire's territory in the south. The rule of the noble empire in southern Tianzhu may collapse."
The envoy was surprised and said: "It's not that the Kushan Empire has powerful cavalry. Even if they can't deal with the artillery, escape can always be done, right? How could it be defeated?"
Yan Liangdao: "It is said that Huang Zhong commanded the artillery battalion to kill the commander-in-chief of the Kushan Empire, causing the entire army of the Kushan Empire to collapse. Except for the 30,000 cavalry who escaped from the battlefield, almost all of the remaining 70,000 troops were captured by Liu Bei! "
Tianzhu, Uzangyanna! Han military camp!
"Come here, generals!" the guards walked into the Chinese army's tent and told Liu Bei.
Liu Bei replied: "Generals, please come in!"
After saying that, he closed the book in his hand!
This is a book Liu Bei Gaojiao brought from Daqian. It is called "The Wealth of Nations" and was written by his lifelong enemy Lei Gong. Because of this relationship, almost every official in Daqian has a copy of "The Wealth of Nations", and Discussions on "The Wealth of Nations" are also very intense in literary circles, and everyone wants to use this method to attract Xu Wei's attention.
Of course Liu Bei does not need this, but he has almost copied Xu Wei's policies throughout his life. Of course he will not miss the opportunity to learn Lei Gong's policies and ideas. Once this book is in his hands, Liu Bei rarely puts it down. This book, even when he led the army to a decisive battle with the Kushan Empire's army, he also brought this book to the battlefield!
Moreover, after Liu Bei read it, he printed thousands of policies and distributed them to his officials for study. It can be said that Liu Bei is Xu Wei's best student.
The world always admires successful people. In the entire Daqian sphere of influence, the influence of "The Wealth of Nations" is increasing day by day. In Tianzhu, even if Liu Bei didn't mention it, a large number of people have studied this book, and there are even some. Many noble families who followed Liu Bei gathered to study this book in a scholarly manner.
Liu Bei sneered at such arty suggestions, but he also hoped that these people could really learn some of Lei Gong's ideas! After all, his ideal was to fight back to Luoyang City, which required Tianzhu to have extremely strong strength.
"Brother, this battle is so fun!" Zhang Fei and others walked into the tent one after another.
Because of the great victory, all the generals were smiling!
Guan Yu even said: "The city we occupied seems to be only more than 1,000 miles away from Daqian. How many years have passed, and we have fought back!"
The geography of Tianzhu is so wonderful. From the south, they are thousands of miles away from Daqian, but in the north, they are only a thousand miles away from the westernmost region of Daqian. If the Kushan Empire is destroyed, they will be bordering Daqian again. !
Only Zhao Yun said rigorously: "It will be difficult for a war like this to happen in the future. There are many plains in the north of Tianzhu, which are suitable for cavalry battles, but we don't have many cavalry. We are the ones who suffer the loss when fighting in the north!"
They were able to win this time mainly because the people of the Kushan Empire didn't know much about artillery. Liu Bei concentrated all his artillery to attack the Kushan Empire's Chinese army, and also took down the Kushan Empire's commander and command center. Destroyed, they will have such a great victory, but such a victory is rare! So Zhao Yun hopes that everyone will be cautious.
Liu Bei looked at his white hair and said: "I have passed 60 years old. Yun Chang, Yide, Zilong, you have also become gray-haired veterans. Now we have no way to defeat Kushan. I'm afraid I will wait for you."
