Why do people need to read more?

Because the predecessors have written down the principles and insights of life in books.

In other words, you can get the experiences and lessons that the predecessors only gained by taking detours through reading, and you don’t have to go through it yourself again.

For example, Confucius said: A gentleman is likened to righteousness, and a villain is likened to benefit.

It seems to be talking about the difference between a gentleman and a villain, but in fact it is also teaching future generations how to behave in the world.

When getting along with a gentleman, you should talk more about righteousness.

When talking to villains, use more words to gain advantage.

Especially for a true-hearted villain like Qin Bo, Feng Junhou made a big profit and was hit on the spot without distinction between east, west, north and south.

When he walked out of Zhendong General's Mansion, Qin Bo was still a little dizzy.

Before coming here, the school administration was actually quite worried about this trip.

the reason is simple.

Matters in the military are not handled by the director of the school affairs office.

If you rashly intervene in military procurement matters, if you are not good at it, not only will you cut off people and money, but something will really go wrong in the future.

For example, if someone loses a battle, those military leaders, in order to shirk responsibility, will blame the school affairs office for whatever reason.

The school affairs office has no close friends in the military, and they don't know anything about the affairs in the military. If someone bites you like this, you will really have no excuse.

Therefore, when he came this time, Wu Zhongshu prepared a lot of chips in advance, just to impress Feng Junhou.

I never expected that Feng Junhou would treat people sincerely, but after hearing what the school affairs office wanted, he gave two solutions on the spot.

The first is the leasing method.

Da Wu sent people to learn how to fight on horseback, which certainly solved the problem of leading the army.

However, the formation of a cavalry army, especially the weapons and armor used by the armored cavalry army, could not be produced overnight.

The war horses in the army cannot be cultivated in a year and a half.

It has to be piled up with real money and silver, it has to be fed with countless money and food, and it has to be piled up and fed continuously for a long time.

It takes time, effort, money and food.

Feng Junhou felt this and was willing to rent horses, armor and weapons in order to help Wu form an army as soon as possible and join the Han in attacking the Wei thieves.

When the time comes, Da Wu only needs to recruit people, train a little, and then be led by people who have learned the art of cavalry warfare, and he will be able to form an army immediately.

Save time, effort, money and food.

For the school affairs office, these armors and weapons were supplied by the Han Dynasty, and the school affairs office just changed hands.

If those military leaders were really capable, they would go to the Han State to hold them accountable.

The second is installment loans.

As Feng Junhou said, the world has been at war for a long time, and every place is suffering. At that time, seven out of ten Wei states were unable to maintain the tiger and leopard cavalry.

How did Wu have enough money and food to form a cavalry army?

But if there is no armored cavalry, how can we fight against Wei's elite cavalry in the plains of Jianghuai, capture Hefei, and fulfill the wishes of Emperor Sun?

Therefore, for the sake of the alliance between the two countries, Feng Junhou was willing to come forward to guarantee that the Xinghan Association would lend a sum of money and food to the school affairs office every year and return it in installments after five years.

Of course, this is to take care of Emperor Sun's face.

After all, one of the most important responsibilities of the school affairs office now is to make money for Sun University.

Most of this money will definitely flow into Emperor Sun's treasury.

As for the small part...that's normal wear and tear.

The combination of these two methods can not only help Wu build a powerful cavalry army in the shortest time, but also reduce Wu's financial burden.

After hearing these two methods, Qin Bo was still immersed in shock even after he came out of the house.

With such great talents as Feng Junhou, it is no wonder that the Han Dynasty prospered greatly.

Then I thought that if the school affairs office could facilitate this matter and help His Majesty go north to eliminate the bandits and capture Hefei, it would really be a great achievement.

Qin Bo's heart couldn't help but beat faster and faster.

The only thing to worry about is that whether it is a lease or a loan, Dawu must have a mortgage.

After all, is there any free benefit in the world?

And it’s such a huge benefit.

The art of shipbuilding is only one of them.

It was only a trivial matter for Wu to send a group of shipbuilders to Han.

Jingzhou must meet the Xinghan Hui's jaggery quantity requirements within three years... This seems to be a key point.

But it coincides with the bargaining chip proposed by the school affairs office.

As for the specific quantity of brown sugar, Feng Junhou has always ignored such minutiae, and will discuss it slowly with Xing Hanhui later.

There are also checkpoints between Han and Wu. In the future, vehicle and ship taxes will not be levied on Han caravans traveling between the two countries.

Especially for the caravan of the Xinghan Hui, if someone is in trouble within the territory of Wu State, the school affairs office must come to help - this is a simple matter for the school affairs office.

However, it was tacitly understood in the past. If this matter can be facilitated in the future, then the school affairs office can take action openly and honestly.

But this last one is also a good thing for the school administration.

As long as the cooperation with the Xinghan Association can be made clear, His Majesty will pay more and more attention to the school affairs office even for the sake of the cavalry.

According to Feng Junhou, this is to use the Han caravan tax on the territory of Dawu as collateral.

The last one is that within the territory of Dawu, the tickets of the Xinghan Hui must be recognized and allowed to circulate among the people.

This doesn't matter anymore.

Doesn’t the government admit that those wealthy families will not use the bills circulated from Shu?

In fact, as long as there is still material exchange between Han and Wu, banknotes are the best choice - who wants Wu to need things from Han?

As long as the Han Dynasty recognizes these notes, it can be exchanged for good things.

If one day the two countries cut off exchanges, these notes will become waste paper in Dawu. Who will think of using them?

Qin was thinking about school affairs all the way, and suddenly he sighed in his heart:

"It is indeed a blessing for the school office to get to know such a generous person as Feng Junhou!"

"Feng Junhou has been helping me, Da Wu, for so many years. He is really an old friend of Da Wu!"

Not to mention the fact that Qin was sighing all the way, in General Zhendong's Mansion, after he left, two people walked out from behind the screen in the living room.

It was General Guan and Zhang Xiaosi.

"Alang is really generous. Not only does he want to send money and food to Wu, but he also sends horses and weapons to others!"

Zhang Xiaosi, who had discussed this topic with Feng Junhou yesterday, had only finished speaking halfway when he and Feng Junhou went to climb the mountain together.

The two of them were so excited about the sightseeing tour on the couch that they finally forgot to continue talking about this topic.

Today, I heard that Feng Junhou made his own decision and promised the people of Wu such huge benefits.

No matter how hard Zhang Xiaosi behaves, how can she see through the vicious means of economic and financial warfare in later generations due to the limitations of the times?

"It's a lease, not a gift." Old God Feng Junhou sat on the ground and emphasized to the two wives, "There is a difference between renting and giving something away for free."

"What's the difference? With so many horses, weapons, armor, money and food in the hands of the Wu people, could it be that Alang still expects them to return them?"

General Guan and Zhang Xiaosi were sitting on the left and right sides of Feng Junhou respectively. After hearing what Zhang Xiaosi said, they also agreed very much.

If they hadn't been married for ten years and knew Feng Junhou's character well, if they were the violent iceberg beauty they were before, they would have to draw a knife and torture them, asking if this person was a traitor sent by Wu State.

Feng Junhou heard Zhang Xiaosi's words and smiled:

"I'm not a fool. How could I not have known that if these things fell into their hands, there would be no reason to return them?"

"So didn't I offer them a mortgage?"

Zhang Xiaosi still has doubts:

"Even if there is a mortgage, even if the capital can be recovered, in the end it will help the Wu people grow stronger."

Feng Junhou couldn't help laughing anymore:

"When I do business, when do I need to look at the return on capital? What I want to look at is the dividends that are ten times or a hundred times."

"How can we get tenfold and hundredfold dividends?"

"Controlling Jingzhou, and even controlling the lifeline of Wu State in our hands, isn't it considered a tenfold and a hundredfold bonus?"

Zhang Xiaosi smiled happily when he heard this: "I've been waiting for your words, why don't you tell us quickly?"

It was not that she had no suspicions about Feng Junhou's true purpose. At least she had known about controlling Jingzhou's food supply.

But when she heard that Feng Junhou was no longer satisfied with this, she was really surprised and happy.
