However, it was said that Liu Tong's concubine and his staff both fled after cheating, and Liu Tong was furious and ordered the whole city to be searched. After tossing for a few days, I didn't catch Zhao Tuma, but I caught a lot of cheating. Steward Ma was afraid that Liu Tong would regret letting himself go after two days, and took the fire of the green hat out on his head, so he was busy looking for beautiful women in other places to atone for his sins. Liu Tong was furious in the house every day, making the house restless. The more he did this, the more secretly happy the young general Liu Shu was in his heart, and on two occasions he almost showed traces in front of his Lao Tzu, which frightened Mrs. Liu and ordered him to go out more and hang out less in the house.

Liu Shu then went out every day to hang out and watch the soldiers search door to door, and he was very happy. He came because he thought of Liu Qian. This man is young and loyal, so it is better to go and get close to this person first while his father is not thinking about it. Although Liu Qian is full of words about "standing up for a long time", what if he is not careful and lets the second child win over? At noon that day, Liu Shu went to the small shop where Liu Qian was eating.

When I got to the second floor, there were many people looking at Liu Qian. Liu Qian used to eat alone, but now his table is full of four people. Liu Qian is in the main seat, and the first is a young Confucian in white, described as elegant and lupine scarf; The next head is a young man in a dark robe, with a sword hanging from his waist and a rose twisted in his hand; The opposite seat was a young fat man, dressed in colorful clothes, with several thick gold rings on his hands, as if he was born in a merchant family; There was also a pretty girl standing next to the fat man.

Liu Shu couldn't help but be curious, walked over and said, "Mr. Liu." ”

Liu Qian hurriedly stood up: "Major General." Then he introduced to everyone at the banquet, "This is Liu Shu, the major general of our Lu State." ”

And all of them stood up with their fists clenched. It turned out that the white-clothed Confucian was surnamed Zhu, with a single name and a Tong character, a Chang'an person, who came out to study; Because the young man in Xuanyi was from the green forest, he refused to use his name and surname, and only said that his name was Ah Hei; The vulgar little fat man is named Zhou Ji, a native of Jinling, and his family is engaged in the antique business. Liu Shu couldn't see that the people at this table, together with Zhou Xiaopang, were not idle people, so they naturally refused to leave, so he said: "My father is depressed these days, and I don't dare to go home to eat." Since it is fate, I am the same age as you, so I will be a host, please have a drink, how about it? ”

The three of them all showed hesitation, but Liu Qian smiled and said, "Originally, I said that I would have a treat for the late life; In this case, you can save some silver taels in your later life. It's just that the table is too small to sit down. Liu Shu hurriedly climbed down the pole and asked the shopkeeper to change to a big table. Seeing this, the three of them couldn't shirk it, saying that "it's better to be respectful than to obey fate."

When the wine and food were served, Liu Shu praised: "Good wine." ”

Liu Qian said: "In my later life, I fell in love with their family's wine, which is really rare. ”

Ah Hei said: "The food is not bad. ”

Zhou Ji said: "I love the wine and food that others give money." The crowd laughed.

At this time, there was a commotion outside, and there were soldiers searching for people, so Zhou Ji said: "General Liu really can't arrest those two people." Liu Shu asked why, and he said, "As the saying goes, a man is virtuous and talented." That Zhao Tu even stole the lord's woman, which is obviously a virtuous person. He is still talented. When such people go elsewhere, they will inevitably arouse the love of the new master. He has no virtue, and sooner or later he will plague the new lord. What better to send a scourge to another house than to kill him? ”

Liu Shu clapped his hands and said, "Gongzi Zhou is reasonable. ”

Ah Hei continued: "That Ma clan is so favored by General Liu and has to fornicate with others, and she also specially selected General Liu's important staff. Like Zhao Tu, it is also a scourge. ”

Zhou Ji said: "Ma's heart is high, and he looks down on Zhao Tu." She hooked up with Zhao Tu just because he was young. If the major general is confused, she is only afraid that she is most looking forward to hooking up with the major general. Liu Shu's face turned red. In the coming day, Zhao Tu voted for the new master, and she had to hook up with others again; Zhao Tu is still infatuated, and it is difficult not to be lively. What a pity to kill such a scourge, wouldn't it be nice to buy one get one free and let others get it? ”

Liu Shu smiled: "That's true. It's just that if I persuade me at this time, he won't listen. ”

Zhou Ji said: "For the sake of the general's heart on the battlefield, General Liu might as well go to Dongying to fight, and let him go to the heads of foreigners to spread this anger." Those two are both cunning as foxes, and if they can be caught, they will be caught sooner. ”

Liu Shu pondered: "It's the same. Nai sighed, "There is some chaos in our house right now. To be honest, Zhao Tu has the ability to never forget. He alone is worth three. Now without him, it is like losing the backbone of the Lord. ”

Zhu Tong, who had been silent, frowned and said, "The operating mechanism in your mansion must be inappropriate. How can you not do without someone? ”

Liu Shuzheng wished that they would follow what he said, and hurriedly asked, "What is the operating mechanism?" ”

Zhu Tong said: "It's the rules of doing things." When it comes to military supplies on the battlefield, no matter when or how much is supplied, who counts, who buys it, and who transports it, there are rules step by step. ”

Liu Shu hugged his fists and said: "I want to hear about it!" ”

Zhu Tong said: "Take a thousand people as an example...... and then said calmly. It's just that Liu Shu probably doesn't understand what he says, but it is obvious that he is an expert in internal affairs.

Liu Qian and Ah Hei were both listening carefully, but Zhou Ji lazily held his cheeks and muttered for a long time: "I don't know how to feel." ”

Liu Shu asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhou Ji explained: "Although I don't understand what Mr. Zhu Tong said, I just think he is very powerful. ”

Liu Shu nodded again and again: "That's true." ”

Zhou Ji shook his neck: "Up. Order a can to eat. ”

The girl answered, and took out a cylindrical object from her baggage. Liu Qian asked, "Is this canned food?" ”

Zhou Ji said: "This is canned beef, I actually think it is better than ordinary beef." Ah Hei took the dagger he carried and pried open the can, and everyone ate it, and everyone praised it.

Liu Shu hurriedly asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhou Ji said: "There are islands in the south, there are many typhoons on the island, and the food is not easy to store, so the islanders thought of this method. I heard that this beef was put in a can seven or eight months ago, and it is still good to eat. They also made a lot of canned fruit, which was also delicious. I had to go to many places on this trip, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to eat and drink on the way, so I bought some to take with me. ”

Liu Shu is a military general's son, and when he saw how useful this thing was in the army, he stood up in shock: "What island? ”

Zhou Ji said: "I also bought it from a maritime merchant, I don't know what the island is called." ”

Liu Shu hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "May I ask where Zhou Gongzi bought this thing?" ”

Zhou Ji said: "It's the one called Red Bone Ji in the Ping'an Prefecture Business District, who usually buys firearms and sells some side objects." ”

Liu Shuden couldn't sit still, so he was about to leave; Then he asked them where they lived, and he would visit them another day. Liu Qian glanced and said, "Right now, they all live there with me." Liu Shudeng was relieved.

Not long after, Liu Fu sent someone to invite Liu Qian. Liu Qian smiled and arched his hand to Liu Tong and said, "Lord, I met a few talents in my later life!" ”

Liu Tong asked, "Who are they?" Could you vote for me? ”

Liu Qian said: "Among the three, only that Mr. Zhu is a friend of the late countryman. Although this person doesn't like to talk much, he has amazing learning. Because this time I was traveling around to study, I passed through Lu to see me. The other two were met by Zhu Tong in the middle of the road. The man named Ah Hei must have been difficult to stay because he was in the green forest and did not like to be restrained. That Zhou Gongzi was ordered by his father to come to Lu to buy antiques, and he had a wide range of knowledge, but sooner or later he would go back to the south. Only Mr. Zhu Tong is willing to stay in Lu State. In my opinion, he is also the most talented of the three. ”

Liu Tong asked, "How is it better than Zhao Tu?" ”

Liu Qian said: "Far better than Zhao Tu." ”

Liu Tong was overjoyed: "Okay! Invite them to drink in the house tomorrow! ”

Liu Qian hurriedly agreed. When he left the house, Liu Shu personally sent him out. Liu Qian took advantage of the situation and whispered: "If the general goes to Dongying, the young general can have more contacts with Zhu Tong." Liu Shu was overjoyed, and when he returned home, he discussed with his mother; The mother and son then tried their best to push Liu Tong to go quickly.

The next day, Liu Qian really led the three to Liu's mansion, and Liu Tong held a banquet to entertain them. Seeing that talent is available, Liu Tong's anger at being cuckolded has also faded slightly. Because he knew that Zhu Tong didn't like to talk much, Liu Tong led him to speak, and sure enough, he saw that this person had an inner show. It was Zhou Ji who was the most noisy, and he opened his mouth and gushed endlessly; What he said was interesting, and everyone loved to listen to it. Ah Hei doesn't live much, but it's mostly the finishing touch. Liu Tong took advantage of the situation and asked them to stay in Lu to help him.

Ahei first said: "I am from the green forest, and I can't stay in a certain place for long. Pick up your feet and walk when you think of something. ”

Zhou Ji thought about it and sighed lightly: "I can't hide it, I really want to help General Liu." Without him, because the general is fighting the nest of the widows. One of my sisters' family was attacked by the Japanese Invaders, and everyone else died. It's just that the old father is in the hall, and he has to go back after a while. ”

Only Zhu Tong said: "If the general is not too late to be stupid, he is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses." ”

Liu Tong was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir!" The two of them went for a while.

Zhou Ji suddenly asked, "I heard that General Liu went to fight the Japanese invaders, why did he come back?" ”

Liu Tong said: "There are some trivial matters at home that I will come back to deal with, and I am preparing to go back to Dongying again." ”

Zhou Ji immediately waved his fist and said, "You just have to go!" Kill all the widows for my sister's relatives...... Eh, the people who died at the hands of the Japanese took revenge. We are not in a hurry to go, help you deal with it later, and ensure that your battle is comfortable and smooth! ”

Liu Tong said a lot to them just now, knowing that this Zhu Tong could make up for Zhao Tu's piece, but he was afraid that his ability would be higher, so he had already agreed to more than half of it in his heart.

The next day, Zhu Tong arrived at the yamen and took over Zhao Tu's original mess of things. At first, others were still a little suspicious, but after all, it is rare to forget, and many numbers are recorded in Zhao Tu's heart, much faster than others. The Zhu Tong abacus beaded a dozen, and wrote a lot of symbols that others couldn't understand, and it was sorted out quickly, and it didn't take long to straighten it out. And immediately they all obeyed him.

Liu Tong was overjoyed when he heard about it, and said: "Who is missing, who can't live?" It's just a Zhao Tu. I hated that I didn't catch him, thinking about how many people might know that they were cuckolded, and they were upset. So he ordered someone to pack up his things, and he wanted to go back to Dongying.

The little fat man Zhou Ji usually only wandered around the streets, looking for good food, and did not help Zhu Tong; I heard that Liu Tong was leaving, so I came over to ask for a meeting. Liu Tong knew that he was knowledgeable, and he also felt that he was good at speaking, and he dressed like a nouveau riche and was quite crazy all day long, so he hurriedly invited him in.

Zhou Ji's fat face swept away the usual hippie smile, and said with a straight face: "I came here today, and I only brought a bag of rice." ”

Liu Tong asked, "Is there anything unusual about this rice?" ”

Zhou Ji shook his head: "No, I borrowed it from Mr. Liu when I went out, and I have to pay him back when I run out of it." I can't give it to General Liu, please forgive me. ”

Liu Tong smiled: "I'll give him ten bags when I go back." ”

Zhou Ji then opened the rice bag, took out one grain and put it on the table, put four more grains on the bottom, and then sixteen and thirty-two grains were lined up, and after a while, a whole line was filled. He pointed to the grain of rice and said to Liu Tong: "Lord Liu, this rice is the population. One gave birth to four sons, and each son gave birth to four grandchildren. But if there is enough food, the population can reproduce faster than rabbits, and it can be a whole lot in the blink of an eye. ”

Liu Dongqi said: "Sir, what do you mean by this? ”

Zhou Ji said: "When the food is gone, you can plant it again, and you can also eat fish and shrimp and the like; When the population is gone, it can be regenerated; Only the land is fixed, and it cannot be increased or decreased. These days, I heard that many people have told the shogun that the population of Dongying can be used for mining and farming. I also heard that it was the Ma family's idea to slaughter the Dongying people and relocate some Lu people in the past, and the general no longer wants to use it. Liu Tong's face was slightly ugly. Zhou Ji said, "I hope the general won't be rash." Although Ma is a slut, this plan is still a good plan. Why waste a good plan for a slut? Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Dongying has mountains and rivers, which is very good for feeding the population. Even if King Lu is the general's son-in-law, he is a son-in-law after all. If the general really killed King Lu and stood on his own, he was afraid that the Qi State would have an excuse. ”

Liu Tong frowned at the time, and only said after a while: "I also know that Ma's idea is good." It's just that there are actually people mining in the Dongying Committee. ”

Zhou Ji said: "In my opinion, the most important thing for the general at the moment is the territory, followed by firearms and sea ships, and there is really no hurry to mine." Because," he asked, raising his hand and brushing a table of rice to the ground, "dare to ask the general, how little is this rice compared to Fang Cai's?" ”

Liu Tong said: "It's just brushing off the ground, how can it be less?" ”

Zhou Ji nodded and said: "The general digs or not, the mine is there, and it has never decreased." It was a time of great robbery. If the general spends his mind on mining, people will not wait for the general. Everyone went straight to the boat to rob them. Do you think that Huo Sheng, the king of Nan'an County, doesn't know that there is a mine in Dongying? It's been several years since he had the idea of beating Dongying, and he has figured out everything. ”

Liu Tong hurriedly asked, "What is his mind?" ”

Zhou Ji said: "He has no time to mine, so he will leave after grabbing a ticket, and use the robbed money to buy firearms and sea ships, and he will go to Nanyang at this time." Hengzhi has Qiongzhou, and there is no shortage of territory. If the general occupies Dongying's territory and moves some people over, since the mine is yours, will he fly away? This time, everyone goes to rob, but you are mining; By the time you're done digging, you've already finished grabbing the miners. Why don't you store the mine first? ”

"Hiss......" Liu Tong took a breath and said after a while, "What Mr. said is reasonable. ”

Zhou Ji smiled and said: "Actually, I just have a grudge against the Japanese in my clan, and I wish the general would kill more Dongying people to avenge my people and come to pry the general." I don't know if I can move? ”

Liu Tong nodded and said, "It's really moved." ”

Zhou Ji said again: "General Fang Cai agreed to send Mr. Liu rice?" Then I won't sweep the ground. ”

Liu Tong laughed: "I'll send him rice." ”

Zhou Ji bowed to him and left.

Back at Liu's house, Zhou Ji told him what he had just done, Liu Qian frowned and said, "Why bother to come, instigate him to make a murder." ”

Zhou Ji said: "Liu Tong now accounts for a small half of Dongying. Dongying is a country, but if there is a group of people, they can't be killed without ruthlessness. The Westerners destroyed the Americans, and the Americans were destroyed for a long time. He smiled wryly, "You don't know. You don't know. I'm afraid. ”

Liu Qianqi said: "The third master is also afraid? I'm still not afraid of heaven and earth. ”

Zhou Ji said blankly: "I'm afraid of the inertia of history. I'm afraid that I'm busy in vain. Dongying is immortal, and my heart is uneasy. ”
