As soon as Yan Rou left, Taishi came. Lose in hake, but gain in herring. My predecessors did not deceive me.

About Chen Yu, Liu Bei already knows a lot from the mouth of his mentor and close friend.

His mother also told an allusion related to him.

During the reign of Emperor Huan, Chen Yu served as the magistrate of Taiqiu (county). He is well-governed, impartial, and kind-hearted. He is good at touching people with virtue and is deeply respected and loved by people. One night, Chen Yu found a thief hiding on a beam. He did not make a statement, but called his children and grandchildren to him and talked about the truth of life. He said: Everyone should respect and love themselves, be strict with themselves, and prevent them from going down the wrong path. People who do bad things are not born bad. It's just that I don't usually learn well, and I slowly develop bad habits. could have been a decent man and a gentleman, but he became a villain. The gentleman on the beam is such a person.

The thief hiding on the beam heard every sentence piercing his heart, and he was embarrassed, so he jumped down and kowtowed and confessed his guilt. Chen Yu interrogated carefully, and only then did he know that he had failed to harvest for many years and lived in poverty, so he became a thief. Seeing that he was not like a bad man and that he did have a repentant heart, he gave him two horses of silk as capital and let him start a small business to support his family. The man thanked him and left.

This incident spread and became a popular conversation. As a result, there have been no thefts in Taiqiu County for a long time. Since then, 'Liang Shang Gentleman' has become an allusion, and later became a synonym for thieves. People also called the matter of Chen Yu giving the thief two horses of silk as "Chen Yu's theft". Later generations often used Chen Yu's theft as a metaphor for righteous deeds.

People who can be passed on by books and leave allusions are not idle!

Although Chen Yu does not know soldiers, he is familiar with the art of war.

Liu Bei whispered that day. The Great Confucian taught the art of war to each other, and as for how much Tai Shi Ci can comprehend, it depends on his own creation.

Of course, with the ability of Tai Shi Ci, he knows the art of war. That's inevitable.

Liu Beishi doesn't need to worry too much.

Counting Huang Xu, Huang Zhong received a total of three apprentices. Liu Bei's second brother Liu Wu, and Tai Shici, who crossed the sea.

Liu Wu and Huang Xu both like to use big knives. But Tai Shi Ci prefers to use guns.

Huang Zhong saw that he loved guns like an idiot, so he found Cui Ba and Huang Gai, and the three of them passed on their art at the same time. Cui Ba used a double-hook sickle. Huang Gai makes good use of double whips. The marksmanship is derived from the stick method, and it has a lot in common with the double-hook sickle. How to practice together, or have a miraculous effect. And Huang Zhong only taught him archery.

Now think about it, Tai Shi Ci is good at shooting with ape arms and holding a double halberd on his back, is this the reason! Studied under Huang Gai to learn dual wielding. Studied under Cui Ba to learn the double-hook sickle. He also studied archery under Huang Zhong. Not only is he not insane, but he also understands everything, combines the strengths of the three families, and is a master of martial arts. It can only be said that the talent is invincible.

After settling Tai Shici's mother and son, Liu Bei went to the port mansion to thank the head of the Tian caravan in person.

Go west along the downtown of Qiaolou, pass by the ancestral hall, the martial arts field, the Yishe medical hall, and arrive at Qingxi Port.

Not far downstream of the port, there is the waterfront bridge building of the Shunyang Wei people. In order to prevent the enemy from coming from the water, Liu Bei built a new bridge-type heavy crane across the river not far upstream of the port. Name: Bridge crane. The design drawings have been thought out for a long time, but they have not been built due to the difficulties in manufacturing the guide rails and pulleys before. The craftsmen recast the steel rails and heavy pulleys until they were completed.

In this way, the merchant ships could be moored under the bridge, and the goods on board could be grabbed by hooks, moved along the rails to the shore, or piled up in the harbor, or directly sent to the ox carts. Ten points. Compared with the tower crane with a limited power arm, the bridge crane covering the entire water surface can be called all-round.

The bridge crane is not only a heavy weapon, but also a fortress. There is a gate under the beam, and there is a heavy building water grate on the beam. There are bed crossbow archers in the wall to defend against incoming enemies.

Going up along the bluestone embankment, there is a hundred acres of fertile land of Liu Bei's family. and Selim-eup, which is hidden in the middle of the wilderness.

The mattress is heavy. Even the ox cart can't carry a few. Trafficking by boat is the most convenient. Because of the trafficking of Lou Sang's special products, the merchant ships of the Qingxi Waterway are very busy. A large number of copper coins were carried by the ship, and the neatly wrapped bedding mats were carried with the ship. Comes and goes, and the income is quite good.

The rat glue linen mat that sells for 800 yuan has average sales. Nanyang Guo's and Jiaozhou's Shishi are all sold. As I said earlier, you don't sell wood for a hundred miles, and you don't sell for thousands of miles. Due to the high cost of transportation, rat gum mats can only be sold in Zhuo County and neighboring states and counties.

Lou Sanno bedding is authentic. The largest sales volume is the brocade mat priced at 3,000 yuan, the famous mat at 10,000 yuan, and the magnetic pad at 100,000 yuan. The best mat in the transmission can be met but not sought.

Most of the buyers are princes and nobles, families, celebrities and high-ranking officials, and landlords. For a single bedding, the young prince earns 500,000 yuan a month.

It's staggering.

Half of gold and half of brass. The best five baht money is used to pay commissions. The horseshoe cake is stored in the treasury in case of emergency.

Liu Bei entered the mansion and went straight to the fine house under the Tian family, where he met the principal.

Seeing that the young prince came to the door in person to thank him. The main surprise is inexplicable. Then bow down and ask for the house. The guest and the host sat down, and the maid behind them presented a plate of gold cakes. The principal was shocked and waved his hand again and again. It's just a gesture, so what's the point.

Liu Bei said with a smile, sending Qilin'er thousands of miles away is a great achievement. He also said, "If anyone wants to take a boat north to Lousang, he will only send it."

The principal said yes again and again. But these ten pieces of gold are not subject to anything.

I know that he has a concern in his heart.

Liu Bei said, I will send a letter and inform the head of the Tian family about this. You have the right to accept the golden cake, as for what to do with it, and listen to the words of your master, how about it?

The young prince and the marquis thought it right.

Then the lord stretched to the ground, and took the bread of gold.

White Lake Water Pavilion, Shenyue Pavilion.

The breeze is breezy and the fragrance of lotus is fragrant.

In front of the body is a bronze Boshan fumigation furnace.

In the bead curtain tent, the pavilion owner was different, and he was sitting and listening to Wulian's endless dictation.

"Master, no, eldest sister, tell me, does Liu Bei have a crush on that little baby's mother?"

"Sister Wulian. Who is Liu Bei, how can you not know? He is beautiful and natural, known as the unicorn. You also know about Liu Bei. If he is as pure and good as him, how can he be ecstatic and forgetful of a plain woman? Although Shi Wei smiled lightly, there was a deep meaning in his eyes.

There are more than 1,000 settlements under the command of Wulian, and 100 horsemen, all of whom are tigers and wolves. If you can drive for Liu Bei, it will be a big help. Not only does he already belong to his heart, but he also brings his own dowry. Seeing all the things around Liu Bei, how could she not be in a hurry?

It is said that Liu Bei's wife has been decided. The remaining eight concubines may have vacancies. Wu Lian's many dissatisfactions, in Shiyi's view, are mostly to compete with the Gongsun family for the position of the wife. It's just that this matter is difficult to compare. Ulian had no chance. Shiwei bystanders are clear. But Wu Lian, who is the party concerned, still doesn't know it.

Or perhaps, pretending not to know.

"That's right." Wu Lian then stabilized her mind: "Eldest sister, according to you, that little baby is indeed different?" ”

Shi Yi nodded lightly: "Naturally different." As he spoke, he sighed in his heart. Liu Bei is good at knowing people. But whoever is favored by him will be the dragon and phoenix among people.

Thinking of this, he smiled: "What did you say was the name of that boy?" ”

"Donglai Tai Shi Ci." Ulian blurted out.
