Although Liu Xian did not subdue several famous generals and strategists in the history of the Three Kingdoms. This is calculated to be a real powerhouse of Huang Zhong.

However, by now, the prototype of Liu Xian's power has already been shelved, or it can be said that this foundation has been basically built.

These are what Liu Xian needs, as long as everything he does is on the right track, then he can keep running.

The merchant director of the Liu Mansion caravan has Xu Shang, who has a certain amount of resourcefulness and can perform and complete some things for himself. In terms of escort guards, there is Huang Zhong, and when Huang Xu improves, he can also join. There are also Liang Ji, Wen Shen, and Wang Bao who built a city in Liulin Village according to their own plans, and at the same time, there are also those who can read.

Liu Xian felt that he had laid out this situation.

As long as these people can do their jobs for the time being, then Liu Xian doesn't have to focus too much on this aspect.

Liu Xian felt that he could free up his life and do something more deserving.

For example, to find some talent, you have to do it yourself. Also, to open up some new markets, these sometimes have to be done on their own.

Also, you have to improve your personal strength.

Of course, Liu Xian's ultimate goal is to build his strongest army.

Now, we have to finalize the matter with the Yi family first.

After instructing everyone to act separately, without waiting for Liu Xian to go to Yi Mansion, the head of the Yi Kai family sent someone to invite Liu Xian.

Seeing Yi Kai, the head of the Yi family again, his complexion seemed to be better, and it was estimated that he had made a decision and put all his thoughts aside.

People are like this, as long as they let go of what they have in their hearts and decide, then they will suddenly become enlightened.

"Haha, nephew Liu Xianxian, please sit down, thank you for taking care of my naughty little girl." Yi Kai smiled and invited Liu Xian into the reception hall of the main building of the Yi family, and asked Liu Xian to sit down.

"Don't dare to be, Jicheng also has your Yi family's property, and it can be regarded as your Yi family's territory, why does Miss Yi use me to take care of it? Speaking of which, I have to thank Miss Yi Ji, because of her, I have a free place to stay in Jicheng. Liu Xian politely clenched his fists and said, "By the way, your Yi family's plum garden in Jicheng is really good." In particular, the plum blossoms planted in it should be some unusual varieties. The owner of the Yi family should have put a lot of thought into creating this plum garden, right? ”

"Alas......" Yi Kai heard Liu Xian talk about the plum garden, but sighed a little lonely, and said with a little nostalgia in his expression: "Don't hide it from the virtuous nephew, the plum garden was not built by the old man, but was actually built by Yi Ji and her mother." Pity...... Later, her mother left, and the old man simply moved to Youbeiping, so as not to touch the scene. ”

"I see, the past is over, and the head of the Yi family doesn't have to be sad."

"Okay, let's not talk about that." The Yi family perked up, waved his hand and said: "Today, please invite the virtuous nephew to come over, first, I invite the virtuous nephew to come and spend this Lantern Festival together, and we have eaten together." ”

"It's the Lantern Festival today......" Liu Xian forgot about it, and before he knew it, it was the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month. But think about it, in fact, it's almost the same, after coming back from Jicheng, I've been busy in Youbeiping these days, in addition to familiarizing Xu Shang with his caravan, he also made some studies and arrangements for those who served him together.

"Heh, it seems that the virtuous nephew is really busy. However, no matter how busy you are, you have to have a meal at my Yi house tonight. By the way, I will introduce my old husband's son to you, of course, Yi Ji's girl, after she came back, she was talking about you, and she thought about you every day, if I hadn't stopped her, she would probably have to look for you...... Alas, it seems that the female university is not staying. ”

"Uh......" Liu Xian felt that Yi Kai's gaze at him was a little strange, just like the kind of gaze that a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law.

But Liu Xian didn't know how to respond at this time. However, Liu Xian thought about it and felt that if Yi Kai took a fancy to himself, then it would be a good thing. Now that he has hinted at it, he can't pretend to be confused. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Yikai won't be at ease. You must know that after he took Yi Ji away, his Yi Kai family will not leave, at least Yi Kai himself will not leave, and he will stay to deal with Gongsun Zan or Liu Yu. It can be said that according to the plan he talked about with Yi Kai earlier, the Yi family does have to pay a lot.

This is actually equivalent to letting the Yi family stay in Youbeiping as an undercover agent.

If he marries Yi Ji, then he and the Yi family will be regarded as their own people, so that their Yi family will feel at ease, and when they need to pay, they will feel worth it and will be willing to give it.

Therefore, Liu Xian was embarrassed for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Master Yi, Miss Yi Ji is indeed a very good woman. is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also has an excellent temperament, if you can marry her as a wife, it will be a blessing from your previous life. I, Liu Xian, am not a serious person, but I admire Miss Yi Ji very much from the bottom of my heart, and I like it from the bottom of my heart. If the head of the Yi family doesn't mind, please forgive Liu Xian for being bold, in this situation where there is no preparation, I want to propose to the head of the Yi family, and ask Uncle Yi to marry Miss Yi Ji to me. ”

"Is that true?" Yi Kai saw Liu Xian on the road, and his eyes opened.

"Seriously." Liu Xian said seriously.

"Hmm...... Let the old man think about this, and this has to be agreed by Yi Ji's girl. However, we can make a verbal agreement first, after all, these can't be made public, otherwise, Gongsun Chan will definitely not let go of my Yi family. ”

"This is natural, all of this depends on what Miss Yi Ji means. If she doesn't like me Liu Xian, then she can't be forced. ”

"Well, that's settled. From now on, my Yi family will join Liu Gongzi...... No, my lord! ”

Yi Kai is now relieved and decides to move his family to Liu Xian.

He stood up, walked in front of Liu Xian, and was about to kneel.

Liu Xian hurriedly stopped him and let him sit back.

"Master Yi, I don't like this, so I don't have to kneel down. We have something to say, and everyone understands it in their hearts. What's more, if Miss Yi Ji doesn't refuse, then Uncle Yi is Liu Xian's father-in-law, how dare I be worshiped by my father-in-law? ”

"Hehe, the virtuous nephew is really different from ordinary people. However, the monarch is a monarch and a minister, and this relationship with the father-in-law and son-in-law is another matter. Yi Kai was a little happy, feeling that Liu Xian really regarded him as his own.

A wealthy businessman like the Yi family is actually very dangerous in such a troubled world.

A pure merchant like the Yi family is different from those who are from the family and local tyrants. They have a lot of wealth, but they don't have the strength to protect it.

There is no hard power on the surface, but there will be no soft power. When something really happens, no one in the government will be able to say a word for him.

This is related to the situation of heavy agriculture and light commerce in ancient times.

The really powerful and powerful, they look down on this kind of businessman, and they usually don't make friends with these businessmen. So, when troubled times come, these pure businessmen will lose a sense of security.

He has a great fortune, but he has no power to protect it. At this time, not only those thieves will fight their ideas, but also the government will fight their ideas.

These are inevitable.

Just like Liu Xian himself, in Yangshi County, didn't he also ask Wenshen to collect some money and grain from those rich households?

Liu Xian actually knew that in Yangshi County, some wealthy families could also be some pure businessmen who kept to themselves. They took refuge in Yang Jie and others earlier, in fact, they had no choice, they didn't take refuge in those who had mastered their strength, then they would only be destroyed. Even, even if they take refuge, they have to be willing to accept them.

In a word, if you don't have the strength yourself, you can't keep it with money alone. In troubled times, money can bring death to one's own family.

The Yi family is like this, even the Yi family may have a certain strength of its own, with three or two hundred people in the nursing home. But so what? Whether the Yi family is in Jicheng or in Youbeiping, he must take refuge in Liu Yu or Gongsun Zan to be able to survive.

Through Yi Kai's last conversation with Liu Xian, he had already seen the situation clearly. In the long run, I understand that whether he takes refuge in Liu Yu or Gongsun Zhan, the fate of his Yi family will not be very good. In this way, only according to Liu Xian's words, he secretly took refuge in Liu Xian, and openly took refuge in Gongsun Zhan. In this way, he can survive in this troubled world.

"By the way, nephew, you're almost done, aren't you? When is the return trip? When will my Yi girl return to Pingyuan Wangfu and Liulin Village with you? Yi Kai asked again at this time.

"I'm not in a hurry to go back yet. The little nephew also planned to go to Gongsun Zhan's military camp to have a look, after all, I left Huang Zhong and two or three hundred caravans to escort Gongsun Zhan's military camp. I want to see if I can make it to this big fight. ”

According to Liu Xian's estimate, Gongsun Zhan had already obtained his own batch of warm clothes, and he should have launched an attack on Zhang Chunqiu Liju and them. But there is no news yet, it is estimated that Gongsun Chan has not defeated Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju, and he should still be preparing.

To be honest, Gongsun Zhan's forces are not superior, on the contrary, Zhang Chun's rebels and Qiu Liju's army will have more troops.

But this is just right, Qiu Liju has not been defeated yet, so the "clothes" he gave to Qiu Liju for Liu Yu may still be delivered to Qiu Liju before he is defeated.

This, Liu Xian is actually a little bit of a matter of course. The war between Gongsun Zhan and Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju, and the war between Huangfu Song and their siege of Quyang City are not the same thing at all.

Huangfu Songna had the advantage and had been attacking Quyang City, which was completely devoid of foreign aid and supplies at that time. But what about this Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju? Their troops must be more than Gongsun Zhan's, and behind them is a vast world, not only will there be an endless stream of reinforcements and material supplies, but when the situation is not right, they can also completely withdraw.

Gongsun Zhan's troops are insufficient and the materials are insufficient, even if he obtains Liu Xian's batch of warm clothes, it does not mean that he can launch a general attack on Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju immediately.

"You're going to Gongsun Chan's camp. Is it intended to go to war? Yi Kai was taken aback and said: "No, the battlefield soldiers are fierce, too dangerous." Lord, you can't take any chances. ”

"It's okay, Uncle Yi doesn't need me to worry, I'm just going to see how powerful those aliens are. After all, if I want to seize Youzhou in the future, I will have to face those aliens. This time is a rare opportunity to see. Liu Xian did not deny whether he would participate in the war.

"But......" Yi Kai still wanted to persuade.

"Uncle Yi, everything needs to speak with strength in the future, and my caravan escort is to build a real strong army. The two or three hundred people who were left in the Gongsun Chan camp were also so that they could experience some battles. But I didn't want them to lose anything, so I had to go. ”

"That's ......" Yi Kai thought about it, and felt that what Liu Xian said was also such a truth, and Liu Xian showed it up, which was also the guarantee of his Yi family.

In fact, some people may say that the Yi family has money and food, but they don't know how to recruit troops and horses to form their own forces? This, but it is not so easy, not every rich person can have his own military horse. These, as mentioned a long time ago, have always had strict and strict restrictions on private armies. Otherwise, Liu Xian would not have had to borrow the name of a Liu Mansion caravan to develop.

What's more, in this right Beiping, even if the Yi family has one or two thousand people? Do you dare to argue with Gongsun Zhan? One order from someone else will have to hand over your men and horses to someone else.

Yi Kai didn't persuade again, but repeatedly told Liu Xian to be careful.

After talking about it a little more, Yi Kai asked people to set up a banquet to entertain Liu Xian.

This Liu Xian can't refuse, this is equivalent to the Yi family's family banquet, and some of the main family members of the Yi family are there, including some of the main principals.

The Yi family had to send one of his sons to Liulin Village first, so they had to get to know Liu Xian first.

Yi Kai has two sons and one daughter, Yi Zhan is the eldest brother, Yi Sheng is the second brother, and Yi Ji is the third sister.

Yi Zhan is a shrewd young man with a good temperament, he has always followed Yi Kai's side to operate, and he knows the way of management.

Yi Sheng is a slightly wooden person, not good at management, Liu Xian can also see that Yi Kai doesn't like this second son very much.

But overall, the family is quite harmonious, and the tutor is good.

In fact, Yi Kai's two sons are married and have children.

Liu Xian suggested that in fact, Yi Zhan and Zhan Sheng's wives and children could go to Liulin Village first. But you have to keep it secret and go there in secret.

Liu Xian plans to wait for this Youzhou incident and return to the Plains Palace, and when he returns to Liulin Village, he will seize the time to build the fortress of Liulin Village, and when the time comes, Liulin Village will be a truly safe place.

Yi Kai's defection to Liu Xian is also a secret, Liu Xian estimates that at most, his father, son, father and daughter know, and other Yi family members and some principals do not know.

After all, the Yi family still has to stay in Youzhou to develop, so the matter of taking refuge in Liu Xian is indeed known to as few people as possible.

After the banquet, Liu Xian returned to his residence in Youbeiping.
