Zhang Lang frowned and said, "Money, money! I don't know who said that money is like dirt? It's simply bullshit! It's really hard to move without money!"

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "Brother has also gotten into the money eye!" Zhang Lang smiled, "Money is a good thing! With it, ordinary people can live in a good house and marry a beautiful wife, and be comfortable for the rest of their lives; with it, how many big things can the country do! In fact, governing the country is like managing the family, there is only one thing, making money! Nothing can be done without money, and no ideal can be realized!"

Huang Yueying nodded and said, "Brother is right! As big as the country, I smiled and said to myself. This money is always at the center!" Then she smiled with a pursed lips, "However, if this is heard by the gentry, I am afraid that I will praise and criticize the big brother in secret again!"

Zhang Lang sneered, "These guys are just pretending to be garlic! They are rich and well-fed in the Huafu mansion, with beautiful wives and concubines hugging each other, and then they show off their hypocritical appearance to teach some bullshit principles. They are the most hypocritical people in ancient times! Even their Confucius himself said, "Food and fed, and then they know etiquette." They are better, and their tone is higher than their saints! They are truly full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. In fact, they are full of thieves and prostitutes. When it comes to morality, they are worse than those beggars!"

Huang Yueying smiled slightly, "Although my brother's words are a bit extreme, they still make sense!" He glanced at Zhang Lang, "But my brother must not go outside to say this. It's not for anything else, it's just that it will arouse greater vigilance and dissatisfaction among the gentry class!"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Your brother, I'm not a fool!"

Huang Yueying smiled with a pursed lips.

Zhang Lang frowned and said, "When it comes to the aristocratic class, I find that most of the aristocratic tribes are still very stubborn! We have worked hard to guide them to become merchants and factory owners for so long. Although there are results, most of the aristocratic tribes are still indifferent! Thinking about the Zhen family and the Cai family, there are really not many aristocratic tribes like!"

Huang Yueying thought, "People are always nostalgic and afraid of new things. It is reasonable for those gentry to be reluctant to change their courses."

Zhang Lang said self-deprecatingly: "I'm afraid there is another reason because of me, the devil in their eyes. The things I have done before can be said to be completely opposed to the gentry class! I not only changed and deprived them of the privileges they enjoyed, but also directly moved their interests. Not to mention the distance, just talk about the new rural tax that was implemented not long ago. Haha, this knife is a painful bone for them! Many gentry tried their best to hide their land, but after I found it, they ended up chasing their homes! Just one thing was naked, and the gentry had an irreconcilable hatred with me!" Frowning, "Sometimes, I really don't want to play cats and mice with them. I really want to send a large army to confiscate them all the way!"

Huang Yueying smiled and said, "But no matter how angry the elder brother is, he can only think about it in his heart. He can't really do this, otherwise the situation will inevitably become violently turbulent and give Cao Pi an opportunity to take advantage of!"

Zhang Lang nodded and sighed, "That's what he said."

Zhang Lang looked up at Huang Yueying and asked, "The food that can be stored in the warehouse this year should increase a lot compared to last year, right?"

Huang Yueying nodded, "Because of the new rural tax, it is initially estimated that the food collected in the treasury this year will be twice that of last year."

Zhang Lang showed joy and laughed: "Okay, I have food in my hand, I'm not panic!" He looked at Huang Yueying, "Where is that money?"

Huang Yueying said: "It is estimated that there will be a significant increase. The largest increase is the income from the Westward Trade Road. The specific number cannot be estimated for the time being." Then he smiled and said: "But no matter how much the increase is, it will not be as much expense! Fortunately, a large amount of materials and food were seized in this war, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with!"

Zhang Lang smiled, thought of the navy, and asked, "How are the navy preparing?"

Huang Yueying said: "The naval personnel recruited from all over the country are still gathering here. Three water camps have been built on the bank of the Yellow River. The navy is undergoing training! It is okay for the personnel to say, but the warships will be difficult to build for a while. Several large shipyards are currently being built near Luoyang. Carpenters and blacksmiths and shipbuilders from all over the country are gathering here. It is estimated that the personnel will not be able to arrive in two months. In addition, I have also recruited more than 100,000 civilians to cut down trees for shipbuilding. It is estimated that at least one year to prepare the warships we need. And I have a worry that the current advantage of the Cao army can be said to be all over the navy. Once they learn that our army is building warships, they will never be indifferent!"

Zhang Lang frowned and asked, "You mean, they will raid the shipyard?"

Huang Yueying said: "With this possibility, all our large shipyards are on the bank of the Yellow River. If the Cao army navy breaks in, our efforts will be ruined! I have ordered the direction of Hulaoguan to strengthen the vigilance, and seven iron chains blocking rivers have been arranged from top to bottom from the water from Hulaoguan to Yanzhou. However, I think it is not safe. A floating water camp should be built on the water surface of the Yellow River near Hulaoguan, and the infantry should be stationed in it, equipped with heavy chassis of stone scattered crossbows and gunpowder weapons, so that it will be foolproof!"

Zhang Lang nodded excitedly, "Be careful, this is good. In this way, the Cao army's navy will not attack the Luoyang area!" Looking at Huang Yueying, "Yueying, you can start doing it." Huang Yueying showed a hint of embarrassment, and finally agreed with his fists. Zhang Lang noticed Huang Yueying's expression and asked in confusion: "Yueying, is there any difficulty?"

Huang Yueying looked at Zhang Lang with resentment, "It is Yueying's blessing to be able to serve his elder brother. However, Yueying currently manages too many things. She has to summarize all aspects of the civil affairs situation and manage affairs in Luoyang, supervise the affairs of the inspection department, and also take charge of the affairs of the navy. I am really too busy."

Zhang Lang couldn't help feeling distressed, and naturally held Huang Yueying's slender hand and said blamingly: "It's not good for brother! Brother doesn't know that so many things are pressing on Yueying! Alas, brother is really confused, he doesn't even care about these things! If Yueying is exhausted, where will he find someone to compensate!"

Huang Yueying turned red and beautiful face and said, "Actually, it's nothing to work hard. It's just that the little sister is worried that too many things will make mistakes in her busy life. It's not good if she lets down her elder brother!"

Zhang Lang looked at Huang Yueying and sighed: "You are really my good friend!" Huang Yueying's face turned red, she lowered her head, feeling a little confused and a little happy.
