"What? Support Liu Bei? Why? Is his surname Liu?" Dong Min said hummingly while shaking his head and listening to the drama.

"After all, it was the proposal of the Taiwei Mansion. Should the general consider it?" Tian Yi asked.

"General Niu, what do you think?"

Niu Fu thought for a while and said, "They proposed to let Liu Yao go to Yangzhou before, so we agreed. Now let Liu Bei take charge of Xuzhou again, and we agree. Does it seem that we are too easy to talk to?"

"It's reasonable!" Dong Min patted his thigh and said, "The new year and new atmosphere have to be a slap in the mind of these ministers and tell them who the world is in Chang'an City.

I don’t support Liu Bei anymore, I support Yuan Shu. Ma Riyan had said good things to Mr. Cai before. I think he has a good attitude towards us, so let him go."

If Cai Yong heard this sentence here, he would have to vomit a mouthful of blood.

What? Whoever speaks for me is your accomplice? No one will come to save me from now on.

Under Dong Min's private room, a copper tube stretched straight to the distance, all the way to a room where Zhao Huo was.

The reason why the theater was opened was to collect information. Chang'an had been abandoned for many years. The generals of Xiliang had to hunt except for drinking, and at most they could watch singing, dancing and sumo wrestling.

Dong Min is better, after all, she has been living in Luoyang for many years, and Li Jue and others can't appreciate singing and dancing at all... They really appreciate singing girls.

Therefore, the theater became a place where these boring generals and gentry liked to come. They all knew that this place was the territory of the Northern Army. In addition, the sound insulation inside and outside the box was very good, which made them like to talk about things here, and Zhao Huo collected a lot of information.

"It's a pity that we don't have any connections in the court, otherwise we wouldn't have to take risks like this." Looking at the constantly recorded conversation, Gongsun Fang sighed. The court ministers seemed to be particularly resistant to the Northern Army. He could still win over the low-level officials, but when he reached the top, no one paid attention to him.

Yes, killing Yuan Shao can be said to have made Ma Qiang offend half of the gentry in the world, and the network of the four generations and three dukes is still quite terrifying.

In fact, this is the same as the uncanny valley effect. When the Northern Army is stronger, it is so strong that it has the courage to sweep the world, the aristocrats in the world will become more enthusiastic about the Northern Army. The stronger the stronger the ones, the more enthusiastic they will be. In the end, they will be as enthusiastic as they are, and they can't even kick them away.

"Actually, I think that if there is no one in the court, why can't we cultivate one of us?" Zhao Huo suggested, "Previously, Minggong issued a newspaper that there may be natural disasters in the year of Guanzhong, so that we can purchase food and grass secretly. If the natural disaster really comes, the court will inevitably need disaster relief. But now the court will only become a banquet for corrupt officials. As long as our people have the opportunity to preside over the disaster relief, it will be a contribution. Maybe they can still be with the emperor, which will be of great benefit to our future."

"You mean, let's find someone to be an official now?"

"I heard that a big test is about to be held, and this is our opportunity to install personnel!"

Perhaps because of the excitement of Ma Qiang, the imperial examinations were stimulated, the imperial court finally decided to hold an exam after discussion. The edict would be passed on to the world in a few days. At that time, all talented Confucian scholars in the world could go to Chang'an to take the exam.

Of course, there are still very few people who can really enter the scope of the exam. As usual, only filial and honest people, scholars or children of famous families have the opportunity to enter the exam.

In the words of the court, the exam is also costly, so how can everyone come in and take the exam?

However, although it is difficult to enter the examination room, as long as you enter, the reward will be extremely generous. At that time, those who are ranked first will be given the doctor's office, and those who are ranked second will be given the prince's servant, and those who are ranked second will be dismissed. The prince's servant is an official of 200 stones. If you count, you will also be a department-level cadre.

"Well, this is a solution. I'll send a telegram to my family!"

When Zhao Huo saw Gongsun Fang leave, he continued to lead people to record the conversations in various important rooms while thinking about how to complete the task of purchasing grain.

Although most of these conversations are nonsense, the relationship between many people can be analyzed from these nonsense.

In the previous agreement, the Beijing Office could launch trade activities, but it is not enough to buy some sensitive products such as grain. Once purchased in large quantities, it will inevitably attract attention.

Suddenly a chill came, and Zhao Huo tightened his clothes. The weather this year seemed to be colder than in previous years. I hope there will be no natural disaster next year.

"Is there any warm wine? Give everyone a glass to warm up." Zhao Huo said when everyone who recorded the conversation was a little stiff because his hands were always exposed.

"It's better for Zhao Qianhu to understand us!"

"Thank you, Qianhu, for your understanding!"

When everyone heard the warm wine to drink, they smiled happily. This was similar to the bosses who invited milk tea and coffee to drink in later generations. It was a rare relaxation in boring work.

Zhao Huo looked at the smiles of everyone and couldn't help but smile. Suddenly he thought of something, and his expression suddenly became dull.

Wait! Wine!

Isn’t wine a lot of food and grass consumption?

As long as you make wine with excuses, no matter how much food and grass you buy, it is reasonable.

Moreover, the generals of Xiliang were all greedy for money and lustful, and were addicted to alcohol. If they could tell them how to brew white wine, they would probably use all the food except for the food left for themselves to eat to make bars. Anyway, they would not be hungry. As for the people, haha, they would not care whether the people were hungry.

It's better to be hungry, so that they can buy their land at an extremely low price.

As Dong Jun gained his foothold in Guanzhong for several years, many officers began to buy land. After years of poverty, they now have a desire for land that is no less than that of later capitalists for capital.

But ordinary winemaking cannot impress them. The only thing that can impress them is the high-level liquor created by Ma Qiang.

Many young people in later generations do not understand why some people like to drink high-quality white wine. It is obvious that the wine is so difficult, but isn’t milk tea much more delicious? No matter how bad it is, there is also the fat man’s happy water!

But in fact, drinking is like feeling. This feeling is not about the atmosphere, but about alcohol relaxing the body and slightly drunkenness. High-level wine can create such a feeling better and faster, so it will be more popular.

Especially in the north, the weather is cold, and blood vessels will expand and accelerate flow after drinking, which can easily make people feel warm and will make people in cold areas suspense with high liquor.
