In the early morning of the second day, the sky was slightly bright, and Han Cheng and the sergeants got up early.

Running twenty miles every morning, rain or shine, thunder and thunder cannot move, this is the rule that Han Cheng set for everyone in the army. Even in Liu's Mansion, all the soldiers did it one by one.

Everyone in the Liu family also got up under the neat steps of Han Cheng and other soldiers.

After breakfast, Liu Wei's wife Chang came to her daughter Liu Qi's room early, and after chatting a few words of homely things, she went straight to the point:

"Qi'er, you're not too young. Your father recently found a marriage for you to be a concubine for the Cheng Gongzi who came last night. Although it is a concubine, this Cheng Gongzi is the nephew of the state pastor, you know, the state pastor is the biggest official in Jizhou... ”

Although the Liu family is now living a very wealthy life, when Liu Qi was born, it was when Liu Wei had just started his own business, and his life was very poor. The young life made Liu Qi not have the temper of the eldest lady, but was very understanding.

Listening to her mother's chatter, Liu Qi said softly to her mother: "Mother, please relax, Qi'er heard the family who went out before: This Cheng Gongzi is very benevolent to the people and is a good person, Qi'er knows her identity and knows what her father means, and she will definitely serve Cheng Gongzi's life well." ”

The daughter's empathy made Chang's eyes fill with tears in her mother. Whimpered and said, "Mother knows that my Qi'er is the most sensible." "It's not a taste in my heart, after all, my daughter is equivalent to giving it away, not getting married.

Liu's living room

Han Cheng is a guest, but he sits in the main seat, and Zhang He and the judge sit on the left; Liu Wei, Liu Feng and Liu Li are seated on the right.

The silent atmosphere was broken by Liu Wei and the worship of everyone in the Liu family.

"Liu Wei and the people of the Liu family, meet the lord."

"My lord." Han Cheng smiled silently in his heart, with a smile on his face, "What does Family Master Liu mean by this?" ”

Liu Wei said respectfully: "I, Liu Wei, deceived the lord yesterday, and my Liu family ostensibly sent goods from the north to the south, and sold goods from the south to the north."

But in fact, in addition to business, we also deliver the iron and salt they need to the ethnic minorities in the north; Send the horses they need to the southern family, make huge profits from it, and feed the two or three hundred people of my Liu family. ”

Han Cheng didn't know what Liu Wei meant, so he could only reply very seriously: "Does the head of the Liu family have a way to buy and sell horses?" That's how our business can be done. It's just that Han Cheng doesn't know what this sentence 'lord' means, so he asks the head of the family to solve his doubts. ”

Seeing that Han Cheng had asked something important, Liu Wei became more respectful, lowered his head even more, and said: "My lord, the world of the Han Dynasty is now a situation where the local power is strong and the court is weak. I suspect that within three years, there will be great chaos.

We businessmen have great wealth, but we have no power to protect our wealth, so it is better to choose a master to vote for it. And my Liu family, in the center of Jizhou, can't leave Jizhou, so I can only choose a master in Jizhou.

The lord's fame and ability are the first choice in Jizhou, and my Liu family is willing to follow the lord's left and right, and saddle the lord's saddle before and after? ”

Han Cheng saw that Liu Wei's attitude was more sincere, and replied: "The head of the Liu family has a long-term vision. However, in Jizhou, to explain fame and ability, I am not as good as my uncle Han Zhoumu. Why did you choose me? ”

Liu Wei still lowered his head and replied: "The lord is modest, the reputation of Hanzhou Mu is Yuan's, and governing Jizhou well is just to make a wedding dress for Yuan's family."

Hanzhou pastoral governance is very capable of governing the people's livelihood. However, in the fight against the family, there is a lack of strategy, and he has the financial resources and population of Jizhou in vain, but the army is very small, how can he defend the world's most heavily funded state, Jizhou?

And the lord, although his reputation is not as good as that of the state pastor, but he has earned it bit by bit, and the people see it in their eyes and sincerely support the lord; The lord's ability to run the army, in Jizhou, the lord is the second, and no one dares to call it the first. Therefore, Liu Wei led the family to join the lord. After speaking, he led the Liu family to pay their heads to Han Cheng again.

Han Cheng wondered for a while, he just wanted Zhang He to scare this Liu Wei and go to Liu's mansion to find some "clues" about buying and selling horses. I'm afraid that this Liu Wei won't tell the truth, why did Liu Wei suddenly defect to his name, what's going on?

Is it the same as in the novel, I am full of the spirit of a king, and when I go around, what celebrities and famous generals will come to defect?

In fact, Han Cheng has traveled back to the Three Kingdoms era for nine years, but his thinking has not changed a lot, and he does not know the status gap in this era in detail.

He is the nephew of the state pastor, and his status is noble. If there is something to find a merchant, report it, and the merchant obediently comes to the house. But Han Cheng personally came to visit the businessman Liu Wei, Han Cheng thought it was a very ordinary trivial matter, but the businessman was flattered and thought it was a shocking event.

Han Cheng thought that simple intimidation might be a disaster for businessman Liu Wei.

Coupled with the situation of the Han Dynasty that Liu Wei just said, in Liu Wei's position, defecting to Han Cheng is indeed a good choice.

Everyone was still kneeling on the ground, Han Cheng hurriedly got up and said, "Since the head of the Liu family sincerely defected to me, I will definitely live up to my expectations." If there is a big chaos in the world one day, I will keep the Liu family safe. ”

After Han Cheng finished saying this, everyone in the Liu family got up.

In the evening, the Liu family set up a banquet to express their respect for the new lord.

During the banquet, Liu Wei was not as restrained as yesterday, and said: "My lord, the matter of horses, my subordinates will do their best to plan for the lord." Liu Feng, the younger brother of Yu, often goes to the northern ethnic minorities to buy horses, and I will arrange for him to take people to set off tomorrow. After the year, thousands of horses will inevitably be sent. ”

Han Cheng ordered his soldiers to take the wealth obtained from the extermination of the bandits in the previous few months, totaling more than 6,000 taels of gold. said to Liu Wei: "Master Liu, I am short of time, and the more horses I buy at one time, the better." I asked General Zhang He to select more than 200 athletes in the army, led by a military candidate, to assist your brother in purchasing horses. ”

When Liu Wei saw the gold, he suddenly felt that the lord he had taken refuge in was really a wonderful person, he was a businessman who had taken refuge in the state pastor's nephew, and the money was not all out of his own pocket, the first time he heard that the lord gave money to his subordinate businessmen, was Han Cheng testing himself?

Then he said: "The lord has tormented his subordinates, and after several years of accumulation, his subordinates have a little book capital, and the matter of horses can be handed over to his subordinates."

As for arranging for the soldiers to buy horses together, it was still thoughtful for the lord. I really need the Lord to send people; Buying thousands of horses at one time, I'm really afraid that someone will worry about it, losing money is a trivial matter, and delaying the lord is a big thing. ”

Han Cheng said with a serious face: "I don't have to worry about the horses to you, but it's not easy for anyone to make money, you can rest assured that you can do things for me with gold, I will not let you suffer." ”

For Han Cheng, it is more reassuring to let people buy things and give people money, Liu Wei's family has a big business, and he doesn't dare to run away with money, so he can only do things for himself honestly. His top priority was to get horses, and as for gold and other possessions, he didn't care very much.

Han Cheng had a serious attitude, Liu Wei didn't dare to disobey Han Cheng's intentions, so he could only accept the gold first. I thought to myself, "He can't take this money." "I rolled my eyes and thought about it.
