Liu Bei struggled a few times, and finally gave Li Su a look, and then said: "It's not enough to drink, and go and change your clothes." ”

"Come on, wait for Uncle Shi to change clothes!" Zhen Yan had a look, and hurriedly nunu mouthed, signaling the two beautiful maids in the family to serve Liu Bei.

"Oh, no!" Liu Bei hurriedly pushed back.

Seeing this, Li Su stepped forward to help Liu Bei go to the toilet, and asked in a low voice, "Why doesn't the eldest brother act according to the plan?" ”

"Alas, it's easy to tell the truth if you drink too much, and those who ask for money and food are embarrassed to say it!" Liu Bei patted Li Su's hand and replied in a low voice in shame.

Li Su was also speechless: "Then the eldest brother will pretend to be drunk and fall asleep for a while, let me speak." ”

"There is a fourth brother Lao!" Liu Bei wants face, and this kind of cheeky work has to be solved by Li Su, who sells his mouth.

Then, Liu Bei came back from the toilet and drank two more glasses, so he pretended to fall asleep.

Seeing this, Li Su cleared his throat: "Brother Zhen is really courteous, my eldest brother is drunk, and he didn't have time to say some things, so I'll do it for you." ”

Zhen Yan raised her eyebrows, ready to have some blood.

It seems that this Brother Li, in just a few days, is more trusted by County Lieutenant Liu than he was at the beginning, and he is almost an agent doing dirty work.

"Brother Zhen, I won't tell you, my eldest brother is the most filial person, and he promises again. He lost his father at an early age, and it was his uncle who paid for him to study in Beijing and put the great Confucian Lu Zhi as a teacher. Now Zhang Chun is in turmoil, wandering through Youzhou and harming Zhuo County. However, as a subordinate official of Jizhou, he could not return to his hometown to serve.

Therefore, my eldest brother wants to be loyal to the court first and fight for Jia Shi to enter Beijing to complain. Then he abandoned the official and returned to his hometown, recruited the township to protect the territory and the people, but Zhang Chun in the north and Montenegro in the west to protect the peace of the people in Zhuo County. But there is a lot of money and food needed to recruit soldiers for self-protection, and I want to borrow one or two from Brother Zhen! ”

Li Suyang was full of enthusiasm and made a generous statement, and told him and Liu Bei's plan that could be used to talk about the parts.

Of course, those parts that can't be said, such as "abandoning the official is also to be a better official in the future, being requisitioned by the imperial court with more attention, and how to publicize and build momentum during the period of abandoning the official"......

Then there is no need to say it. It's good that people who do dirty work with this kind of thing know it in their hearts, and it will damage Liu Bei's reputation if they say it.

Zhen Yan also understands the rules of officialdom, and he quickly made up his brain.

He immediately understood in seconds, and then admired in his heart: This Liu County Lieutenant, the pattern of brushing the name of filial piety, is really chic, almost comparable to Donglai Liu Zhengli!

Our basic operations such as "giving more funerals when my dad dies, respecting guests during my father's white affairs, and responding to requests for justice and righteousness" are simply pediatrics when compared with Liu County's generous efforts!

Needless to say, after the big move of Liu County Lieutenant is released, the name of absolute filial piety is spread all over the world!

Perhaps, it can also stir up all forces, each for their own interests, and use this incident to hype!

Thinking about cause and effect, Zhen Yan asked very directly and very honestly: "I don't know how much is needed?" ”

Li Su gestured and touched the non-existent beard: "I have never been a businessman, and I don't understand military expenses." It's just that I once heard my eldest brother say that when he recruited Xiangyong to fight against the Yellow Turban three years ago, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, two benefactors, gave him 50 good horses, 1,000 catties of iron, and a certain amount of money and grain, which was worth 5 million at that time. This time Zhang Chun's rebellion ......"

"Then I will give County Lieutenant Liu 10 million money to help the army, and there is no need to say that I borrowed it." Zhen Yan immediately made a decision.

Li Su nodded secretly, feeling that the other party's offer was peaceful and very good.

Historically, Liu Bei has received two sponsorships from wealthy businessmen, one of which is the angel wheel just mentioned when begging for the yellow scarf.

The second stroke, that is, later in Xuzhou, was attacked by Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, lost Xiapi and fled to Guangling. Mi Zhu, a wealthy man from Donghai County, gave him 20 million and 2,000 servants, allowing Liu Bei to reorganize his troops.

Now Zhen Yan's money is just between Su Shuang and Mi Zhu, and it is also in line with Liu Bei's current status.

After you succeed, you can become a county level, and others will vote for you 5 million.

If you can become a county-level person, you will invest 10 million.

If it is successful, he can be a pastor in Xuzhou, and Mi Zhu only invested 20 million.

It's not that the Zhen family can't afford to give more money, but Liu Bei's current level is only suitable for taking so much.

The A round of financing will give the money to the B and C rounds, which is not a good thing, and it may be possible to give up too many shares and owe too many favors in advance at a low valuation.

Ma Yun was listed on the Hong Kong stock market for the first time that year, and he also knew that Cai Chongxin would save $1.7 billion first.

"In this way, thank you Brother Zhen for your kindness." Li Su hugged his fists and thanked him, and then gave Wang Xian Ling next to him a look.

Wang Xianling knew that Zhen Yan and Li Su had a dirty deal to discuss, so he got up and left the table under the pretense of being drunk.

"Ahem," Li Su cleared his throat, "After Zhang Chun's accident this time, the position of Zhongshan Prime Minister is vacant, and the imperial court is not appointing it for a while. Although my eldest brother can't influence Jia Tingshi's decision-making, but I waited for this time to set off the entire Zhongshan officialdom, no matter who the new prince is, in order to appease people's hearts, I look at the filial piety index of this county this year, and Brother Zhen should fight for it. ”

When Zhen Yan heard this, she was instantly overjoyed.

In fact, with the power of the Zhen family, even if there is no foreign aid in the officialdom, it will be able to raise filial piety to a few more years, sooner or later. But now it would be best to take advantage of this year's chaos and profit from the chaos.

All counties in the mainland of the Han system have a population of 200,000 men of tax age or more, and one person is filial piety. If it is less than 200,000 but more than 100,000, one person will be raised in two years, and one person will be raised in three years if it is less than 100,000.

Zhongshan is a medium-to-small county in Jizhou, with less than 400,000 men, so only one can be cited every year. The largest county is Bohai County, where Yuan Shao later served as a taishou, with 700,000 households, nearly 3 million people, and far more than 1.2 million tax-age men, but only 6 filial piety can be cited every year - because the law writes that no matter how large the population is, 1.2 million will be capped at 6 people.

Therefore, Bohai County is the first county in the late Han Dynasty to take the college entrance examination hell difficulty.

In addition, in the later period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the aggravation of border troubles, in order to encourage national defense, the three prefectures of You, Bing and Liang in the northern border were given additional preferential treatment, and the household registration index required for filial piety and honesty was halved, which was similar to the preferential treatment given to the college entrance examination by the poor border provinces in later generations.

This is also one of the important reasons why Li Su suggested that Liu Bei abandon his official position and return to his hometown in Zhuo County to kill thieves and save his uncle: because Zhongshan belongs to Jizhou and is a mainland county, there is no preferential treatment of doubling the admission rate.

And after a gap of easy water, when you arrive at Zhuo County, it belongs to Youzhou and belongs to the preferential area, which is equivalent to making Liu Bei a filial and honest college entrance examination immigrant.

Of course, strictly speaking, Liu Bei is not a college entrance examination immigrant, because he was originally from Zhuo County and is a local. He can only be regarded as "going to the big city to work and study in Beipiao, but he always insists on not giving up his valuable rural household registration of origin, and returns to his hometown before moving".

It's a bit far, Youzhou's discounts have nothing to do with the Zhen family, they still have to mix according to the competition rate of the native Jizhou.

The competition is fierce, considering that filial piety is generally awarded an official position of 300 to 600 stones, so the average price of filial piety in various places is to give Taishou 4 million yuan.

But in previous years, even if you wanted to give money, you still had to queue up, Zhang Chun had so many related households, all of them were filmed in advance for 4 million and 4 million, and Zhen Yan was too young to plug in.

If you can't wait, you can only buy a petty official directly for four million, but then you don't have a filial piety background and a bad reputation.

Li Su is now completely uplifting Zhang Chun's table, and those related households who have spent deposits on Zhang Chun's side will no longer exist.

The lottery is invalid and the queue is re-queued.

The new Taishou has to thank Liu Bei and Li Su, and also consider Jia Cong's attitude, he can be independent in the next few years, but in the first year of the new arrival, he should always give some face, right?

After pondering the twists and turns in this, Zhen Yan was completely convinced: "Brother Li, when the time comes, when Xinfujun takes office, how much should it be, and the money and food will naturally be disposed of by ourselves, and you can help us cut into the queue, which is already very generous." The 10 million money and food for the army, you don't have to be polite when you spend it.

In addition, in fact, we still have several military supplies here, before ...... Someone also gave me some deposit and asked me to wait before I bought it. But I didn't come to pick up the goods, so let's discount it cheaper, and when the time comes, we will deal directly with it to County Lieutenant Liu and help him protect the villagers. ”

Li Su's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly asked for details.

Zhen Yan was also a little embarrassed, and explained in a low voice, but there was no trick in his words.

Li Su knew that this batch of goods may have been bought by the thief Zhang Chun in order to make a move and ask others to come forward to play the role of the leather bag company.

The final use should be to go through the cover of accounts and related party transactions, and it will flow to Zhang Chun's hands.

It's just that Zhang Chun had an accident, so he gave a deposit and didn't have time to pick up the goods, and Zhen Jiabai earned a deposit.

Since the Zhen family is so cooperative, Li Su will not have to get to the bottom of the matter and find out what he said, so it will not look good on both sides.

To put it mildly, I really identify the Zhen family as a "thief", even if the official business is raided, the money will not reach Li Su and Liu Bei!

It is better to donate 10 million to help the army now and buy cheap military supplies.

"Deal, talking to a smart person like Brother Zhen is refreshing." Li Su picked up the bronze wine jue and touched a glass with Zhen Yan happily.
