After Liu Yu invited Liu Xian in, Liu Xian introduced Huang Wudie and Zheng Feng and Zheng Bo by the way.

Originally, these two people were only Liu Xian's entourage and were not qualified to be given a seat, but Liu Yu obviously seemed to be good to Liu Xian now, so Huang Wudie and Zheng Feng were invited to sit down and talk together.

Originally, Liu Yu's subordinates also had some talents, but they were not by his side at this time, this was not about to be the New Year, Liu Yu also sympathized with his subordinates and gave them a vacation.

At this time, Liu Yu had literati Qi Zhou, Yan Rou, Wei You, Tian Chou and others, military generals, like Gongsun Zhan, a branch of the Gongsun family, who was barely his subordinates, but now he was not very happy with Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan listened to him and did not listen to the announcement, and it was difficult to order Gongsun Zhan.

In addition to Gongsun Zhan, there are also Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin and others, but they are all aliens and should be Xianbei people. I met Liu Yu when he supported the Xianbei tribe, and he respected Liu Yu quite much and was willing to work for Liu Yu. It's just that he is not by Liu Yu's side at the moment.

If he was around, Liu Yu would also introduce them to Liu Xian in order to show his closeness to Liu Xian. Of course, at present, he thinks it would be better for him to talk to Liu Xian alone.

It's still very early, and Liu Xian also made it clear that he had just had breakfast, so he didn't let Liu Yu trouble too much, and he came here to talk about things, not to have a banquet.

His own maid stepped forward to serve tea.

Liu Yu said to Liu Xian with a smile on his face: "Brother Liu Xian, I don't know what you are doing this time?" Won't you just come to meet my brother? ”

"Brother Yu, as for me, I really want to get to know my brother, a brother of the same clan. I sincerely came to pay my respects and congratulate my brother in advance on a good New Year. In addition, the younger brother is not afraid of the elder brother's jokes, and now the younger brother is just a businessman, a businessman. So, I want to ask my brother to take care of me. ”

"Merchant?" Liu Yu looked at Liu Xian with a divine look, then shook his head and said: "Brother Liu Xian, it's not for my brother to talk about you, you said that you are a dignified member of the Han family, how can you make a living with these copper stenchs?" Don't be willing to fall, you are not very old, it is just right to learn something, do some knowledge, and then enter the official career. Otherwise, now my brother is the governor of a state no matter what he says, and it is still okay to arrange an official and a half-position for you. Of course, although we are brothers of the same clan, it is definitely necessary to take care of the same clan, but in order to avoid criticism, you can start with a county magistrate. This is just a formality, the purpose is to let you be familiar with how a county official is a county official, what affairs to deal with, as long as you are familiar with the situation, and then you can be promoted to the county chief or county magistrate. After three or five years in this way, the elder brother will appoint you as the head of a county, and in a few years, he will be appointed as the head of a county, and when the time comes, he may be able to sponsor you to enter the court as an official. ”

When Liu Yu said this to Liu Xian, it seemed that he really wanted to help Liu Xian enter the official career.

This, Liu Xian may not be very cold to Liu Yu, but Liu Yu really wants to make friends with Liu Xian. Of course, he now thinks that this Liu Xian may also be able to help him.

Anyway, Liu Yu's like this is equivalent to showing Liu that he is good, so when he talks about his own business, then it will be easier to speak.

Liu Xian patiently listened to Liu Yu's "care arrangement" for himself, and after Liu Yu finished speaking, Liu Xiancai said apologetically: "Liu Xian thanks my brother for his proposal, but I really have no intention of pursuing a career." I still prefer to be a businessman, although in our Han, businessmen are considered to be full of copper smell, but they also have their merits, at least you can walk around. Isn't there a saying that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read books. In fact, the younger brother is also learning. ”

"Well, well, since you're determined to go into business, everyone has their own ambitions. However, brother, I really know that there are many colleges, although they are all private schools, but they are still relatively famous and have produced a lot of talents. If you want to study at one of those academies, your brother can also introduce you to the academy. ”

"Haha, let's talk about that."

Liu Xian shook his head with a smile.

However, Liu Xian's heart moved, but he wanted to know a little about these academies, because these academies should have talents, right?

If there are talents like Guo Jia, Pang Tong, etc. in a certain academy, and they can deceive one or two for their own use, then it will be famous.

But it's just a heartbeat.

Because Liu Xian knew that it was not easy. Moreover, Liu Xian also somewhat understands the situation of those colleges in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

These so-called academies are not like those academies in the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, and they are fundamentally different from the schools of later generations.

In fact, the colleges of this era are basically private in nature. Normally, it is a certain contemporary Confucian or some famous literati hermit, who accepts some students in a certain place to teach their studies for a certain period of time. This time is not fixed, and he often leaves because of something, and he does not see anyone for many years.

For example, Lu Zhi, he accepted apprentices and accepted Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei and others as disciples, but as soon as the court called, he immediately went out, so it was equivalent to stopping the teaching of the private college he opened. The disciples also returned home.

However, as long as you worship the teacher, then you are equivalent to a person in this department. In a certain period, it is also equivalent to the same party. In the early years, the imperial court imprisoned the party, and if it was involved, then even if there was no too deep relationship, the party would be implicated and convicted.

Liu Xian naturally didn't want to apprentice, but was just interested in those talents. But now I don't have the opportunity to look for those talents, and I don't know where those famous literati and strategists in the history of the Three Kingdoms are staying.

"Okay, then Brother Liu Xian, what ...... are you coming to find your brother" Liu Yu stopped talking about these topics, some things can be pointed, and naturally it is impossible to force them.

Liu Xian continued: "That's the case, the younger brother came to Youzhou from Jizhou this time, and he came with a batch of goods. At present, there is still more than half of this shipment, so I want to see if you, brother, have such a need. ”

Liu Yu naturally understood in his heart what Liu Xian meant by coming to him this time. However, he did not yet know what the goods were trafficked by Liu Xian. If it was something that didn't wait for it, he would naturally be helpless, because he was really short of money now.

Thorn history and state pastor, naturally the state pastor has more power.

However, the state pastor is equivalent to autonomy, and the imperial court has little support. And there are many differences between his Youzhou pastor and Huangfu Song's Jizhou pastor.

Huangfu Song is a general who directly commands the army, and most of them are excuses to apply for money and food from the imperial court. And he, the pastor of Youzhou, since he took office, everything has to rely on himself.

Liu Xian didn't know the troubles that Liu Yu was facing now, if he knew, Liu Xian might hang Liu Yu's appetite and let him beg him.

Therefore, Liu Xian also said to him very honestly: "The good brother learned that the younger brother was not talented, and he tried to relieve the people of a county in Julu County, and then mobilized the people to make a lot of winter clothes for the cold. Among them, I first sold a part of Jizhou Muhuang Fu Song, and now, there are still a lot left. I thought, so many thick cotton clothes, just by selling them to ordinary people, I don't know when they will be sold out. Thinking that a rebellion is also breaking out in Youzhou, this is going to be a war, and the sergeants can't be allowed to brave the cold to fight, right? Therefore, he came to ask his brother about some information to see if there is still a lack of thick cotton clothes for keeping out the cold in Youzhou. If there is still a shortage, the younger brother just has a batch. ”

"Thick cotton clothes? Is it really a thick cotton coat? How many? When Liu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a spirit, what is this called? This is called when he was dozing off, someone brought a pillow, and this brother of the same clan seemed to come too timely.

Liu Xian looked at Liu Yu as if he was a little excited, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Because Liu Xian learned from Gongsun Zhan's mouth that in fact, Youzhou had prepared enough warm clothes for the officials and soldiers, and there was no shortage at all. But Liu Xian still came to Liu Yu because Liu Xian planned to take advantage of the contradiction between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan, and use the opposition between their subconscious to persuade Liu Yu to purchase his own batch of thick cotton clothes.

Liu Xian was ready to speak, and Liu Xian concealed the fact that he had sold a batch of cotton clothes to Gongsun Zhan under Liu Yu. But at this time, Liu Xian will reveal to Liu Yu that if Liu Yu doesn't need it, then he has no choice but to go directly to Gongsun Zhan to sell his goods and try his luck.

Didn't Liu Yu deduct Gongsun Zhan's winter coat now? Why do you still seem to need it so much?

In fact, this is indeed true, Liu Yu did temporarily withhold the winter clothes that should be sent to Gongsun Zhan's camp. There are more than 30,000 pieces of winter clothes in this batch.

In other words, Liu Yu can actually secretly give this batch of winter clothes to Qiu Liju.

However, Liu Yu does have this batch of winter clothes on hand, but the problem is that he doesn't dare to move casually.

Buttoning down the winter clothes that originally belonged to Gongsun Zhan's tens of thousands of military horses may already cause those sergeants to be dissatisfied with him as a state pastor, and give it to the enemy? Heh, if Gongsun Chan and those sergeants knew about this, it would not be Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju who would rebel at that time, and even Gongsun Chan would oppose him.

I can't say, those officers and soldiers really want to rebel, then he, the state pastor, can't escape, and he doesn't know how to die.

What's more, although Liu Yu is a little obsessed, he is really not stupid, he naturally will not give Qiu Liju so many benefits stupidly. On the other hand, he is actually contacting other foreign tribes, such as the Xianbei tribe, whose strength is not much weaker than the Wuhuan tribe, and his relationship has always been good. However, because he was dismissed in the past two years, he was not the supreme official of Youzhou, so he also cut off contact with the leaders of those foreign tribes for a while.

He planned to give some benefits to other foreign tribes and ask them to send troops to coerce Qiu Liju. If Qiu Liju collected his things but did not surrender, then he would let Gongsun Zan send troops to attack, and then let an alien tribe like Xianbei send troops from behind Qiu Liju. In this way, there is no fear that Qiu Liju will not be convinced.

He believed that with his prestige among the alien tribes outside the Guan, those tribes like Xianbei who were prevented from surviving in farther and colder places by the Wuhuan tribe were also willing to send troops to help fight Qiu Liju and win more benefits for their tribe.

In the final analysis, Liu Yu is actually not a simple character, otherwise, he would not be able to mix like a fish in water among those aliens.

Although Liu Xian was a little puzzled by Liu Yu's excitement at this time, he still said: "It is a thick cotton coat, and there are more than 50,000 or 60,000 pieces." ”

"More than 50,000 or 60,000 pieces? Is this true? Liu Yu's eyes widened suddenly, he really didn't expect that this young man of the same clan would have such great ability and be able to get so many thick cotton clothes.

"Really, at this time, the goods will be left in Youbeiping City."

"Good! That's great! Liu Yu can't wait to step forward and hug Liu Xian and kiss him now.

"You thick cotton brothers want them all, you say a price, how much and how much is it." Liu Yu said a little impatiently.

Liu Xian was a little dazed, this thing went unexpectedly. But it doesn't matter, you can sell it and receive the money.

Liu Xian thought about it and decided to give the same price as selling it to Gongsun Zhan, so that it would be impartial and crooked, after all, they would definitely meet, and he would definitely not be able to hide the matter of selling these thick cotton clothes to them separately for long. So he said: "I will give you a suitable price for 60,000 pieces, a total of 150 million dollars." How is it? “

"150 million dollars?"

Liu Yu, who was excited, was stunned at this time, this light was excited, he didn't think that this was such a huge amount of money.

"Hmm......" Liu Yu calmed down.

150 million dollars, in fact, is really not much for a state. But the key thing is that there is not so much money in Youzhou Mansion now.

This time, he once again served as the supreme official of Youzhou, and when he took office, the situation was at most better than that of Huangfu Song, but it was not much better.

Regarding this, Liu Xian has long thought of it, after all, not everyone can come up with so much money at once. What's more, Liu Xian's purpose is not really to want money.

As soon as Liu Xian saw Liu Yu's expression, he knew that he was struggling for money.

Liu Xian took the initiative to propose to Liu Yu: "Brother, if we can't come up with this money at once, maybe we can exchange it for something." ”

"Barter? How do you change this? Liu Yu's heart moved and asked Liu Xian.

"Anything can be done, so the goods from the south are shipped to the north, and the goods from the north are sold to the south. Youzhou is a state that will definitely produce many specialties, right? Things that are not used in Youzhou and do not have much value, as long as I sell them to other places, then they will have value. ”

"Also, we don't have to rush for a while. I can give these winter clothes to my brother first, and then my brother can pay off these goods within a year or two or three years. ”

Historically, Liu Yu has not died so quickly, and he will be in charge of Youzhou for several years, so Liu Xian is not afraid that he will not receive this money.

"Brother Liu Xian...... For my brother, I don't know how to thank you. Liu Yu was really moved at this time, the more he looked at Liu Xian, the more pleasing it became.
