Wang Yue is not a wicked person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and what he did when he was young can indeed be called a national hero.

He was ordered by the emperor to assassinate Liu Xian, and if he killed him, he would have killed him, but the assassination was not successful. That's the most important thing.

An assassin will become a benevolent if he doesn't succeed, these Wang Yue know very well in his heart.

Then, now Liu Xian can kill him, but Liu Xian has never treated him well, and has always maintained a respectful attitude towards him. She also explained so many things to him that he understood that he was being used today.

Anyway, as Wang Yue saw, Liu Xian was indeed not a person with bad intentions. Under normal circumstances, Wang Yue found that he really had no reason to kill Liu Xian.

The winner is king, and the loser is the loser.

Wang Yue also knew very well that if Liu Xian didn't kill him, this would be tantamount to owing Liu Xian a life. In this way, Liu Xian didn't care about his assassination, but treated him well, and only needed him to protect Liu Xian for four years to regain his freedom, Wang Yue really had no opinion on this.

Naturally, this is also Wang Yue is a principled person, otherwise, Wang Yue can also agree first, and then find a chance to leave. In this case, Liu Xian has no way to deal with him.

It is precisely the possibility of such a situation, so Wang Yue can also really feel Liu Xian's trust in him, which makes him feel a little admired for Liu Xian's generosity.

As for Wang Yue now staying as Liu Xian's bodyguard, it no longer matters how he will return to the emperor. Moreover, after Liu Xian explained to him the reason why the emperor wanted to kill him, Wang Yue didn't know how to report the situation to the emperor now. Therefore, he simply did not plan to report the assassination of Liu Xian to the imperial court.

He also knew very well that he failed to kill Liu Xian this time, and his desire to enter the court as an official again had been frustrated. No matter how he explained it to the emperor, he was afraid that he would not be able to enter the emperor's eyes in the future.

In fact, if he was ordered to assassinate Liu Xian, but failed to complete the emperor's order, this in itself would be a capital crime. Therefore, there is no need for him to return to the emperor of the imperial court again.

At present, the construction of those separate courtyards in Liulin City has not begun, but Liu Xian still arranged a separate house for Wang Yue, so that Wang Yue can live temporarily.

From now on, Wang Yue began to serve as Liu Xian's bodyguard.

However, Liu Xian believes that there are few people in this world like Wang Yue who can sneak close to him and assassinate himself. Therefore, Liu Xian does not need Wang Yue to follow him all the time. Liu Xian felt that a master like Wang Yue could protect himself in secret without showing up. Especially here in Liulin Village, Liu Xian believes that his safety is still guaranteed, and he doesn't have to be a soldier because of this assassination.

If Liu Xian wants to go out, he will notify Wang Yue and let him mix in with his own people and protect himself secretly.

For the next period of time, Liu Xian had no plans to go out.

In the meantime, Xu Shang, who had trafficked the batch of winter clothes to the outside of the customs, came back.

That batch of warm clothes was originally sold to Liu Yu, the Taishou of Youzhou, and then transported to Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, and the batch of clothes that were secretly changed from them.

These winter clothes are indeed a batch of necessary things for a small number of ethnic groups in the bitter cold land of ice and snow outside the Guan.

Xu Shang did not go to those large minority tribes to sell those clothes, but specifically found some tribes with a small number of people to sell to them.

Xu Shang is indeed more mindful of doing business diplomacy and has achieved great results.

Those small tribes, they basically don't have much money, but they have some rare medicinal herbs and the like, especially animal skins. If they didn't have these, their bulls and horses could be exchanged for those winter coats.

In that batch of tens of thousands of winter clothes, Xu Shang traded with more than a dozen small tribes, and then got back a large number of animal skins and some rare medicinal materials, as well as almost thousands of cattle, sheep and horses.

In this, it is difficult to measure the value of goods according to the price of the Han. Anyway, we have the winter clothes they urgently need, and their small number of tribes can exchange something, and everyone talks about it, and thinks they can exchange it, so they will exchange it.

Cattle, sheep and horses are worthless in their place, at best they eat meat, and use those animal skins to make some leather clothes and the like, but leather clothes are certainly not as hardy as cotton clothes. And the production process of those minority tribes is very rough, basically they just put those animal skins on their bodies, and they don't know some simple sewing.

Among them, naturally they have also encountered a lot of dangers, and those small tribes, although they are only small tribes, do not mean that they are good people when they are small in number. Several times, Xu Shang and the others were in danger, and they were almost killed by those barbaric alien races.

But Xu Shang also had some means, he first promised a medium-sized tribe with a certain amount of strength, and would give that tribe a batch of cotton clothes, but asked them to send some tribesmen to protect them.

This medium-sized tribe has always been oppressed by the Wuhuan tribe, and it is relatively close to the Han Dynasty. In this way, the leader of that tribe will agree to give Xu Shang a certain amount of protection.

Also, Xu Shang is not just selling cotton clothes, he is also full of airplanes, saying how capable his caravan is, and he will sell more things and different goods to their place in the future.

For example, those tribesmen outside the Guan, their most scarce food, salt, tea, porcelain, silk and so on.

Xu Shang described to them that as long as their tribesmen could abide by some merchant rules, give them certain protection and convenience, and let them trade safely on the prairie, then they would traffic more different goods in the future, otherwise, their own safety could not be guaranteed, so how could they dare to come to the prairie next time?

In normal times, there are also some guilds who will wander among their tribes. However, ordinary businessmen will basically only trade with those big tribes, and they will not be able to take their turn at all.

Under such circumstances, Xu Shang was able to eat. This time, he also called the chiefs of some small tribes brothers, and when he returned, he also sent him several beauties of the tribes.

Xu Shang, this guy, actually really brought back those tribal beauties. He asked for two for himself, and gave them to his buddies, Wang Fen, Sun Xing, Wan Fa and others. In the end, there were two or three left, and he brought them back and sent them to Liu Xian's mansion.

Xu Shang's behavior made Xiaojing and Zhang Ning extremely dissatisfied. This guy, although he is very good at getting things done, is indeed a bit low in terms of emotional intelligence. He didn't know why he wasn't treated well by the women of Liu's Mansion.

Liu Xian himself is extremely disgusted with this kind of thing of giving women away as objects.

However, in such an era, this situation is a norm, and it is not that Liu Xian can stop it by saying that he is disgusted, and this atmosphere can be changed.

In the end, Liu Xian still left those two or three tribal beauties, but he strictly ordered Xu Shang that this is only this once, and in the future, if he encounters such a thing of giving people as gifts as goods, he will not be spared. You can't accept it if someone else sends it.

This time, Liu Xian also demanded that they should not treat those women as slaves, but must give them the necessary freedom of self-esteem. Even if they are sent out to others, it depends on the wishes of the women, and if they are really unwilling to follow them, they should be given freedom or allowed to return to their tribe.

Liu Xian's request is actually to make an appearance. In fact, these tribal women who were sent out, even if they were asked to go back, they would not dare.

But Liu Xian must make such an attitude, so that he can prevent the people below from messing around in the future.

Xu Shang and they can also be regarded as the people of the Liu Mansion Caravan, they represent the Liu Mansion Caravan, and even Liu Xian. Liu Xian has just released some military regulations for the Liu Mansion caravan, and these are also suitable for Xu Shang and them.

Of the two or three tribal beauties, Liu Xian is estimated to be the most beautiful among the women given to Xu Shang by those tribes, and this guy deliberately stayed for Liu Xian.

They are about the same age as Xiaojing, and they are all smart.

Liu Xian asked them for their opinions, and they all said that they could no longer go back, and if Liu Xian did not want them, then they would be homeless. There is no way, Liu Xian can only let them do things in Liu's mansion first. As for the future, only later.

Xu Shang and the others came back, and Liu Xian decided to conduct another business, this time mainly to transport the backlog of products that the people of Liulin Village and Yangshi County had recovered by constantly making some handicrafts and sold them.

It's all ordinary items, and they won't be too easy to sell, but the problem is that I don't need so much here now, and if there is too much backlog, I will have to deal with some trouble in the future.

This time, the merchant planned to go to the Beihai area of Qingzhou.

The main reason is that Liu Xian has already made a relationship with Beihai Kong Rong's daughter. But because Ma Guiren has been summoned to the capital, in this way, if there is no Ma Guiren to do it, I don't know if Kong Rong still agrees to this family matter.

Ma Guiren came to see Liu Xian before going to the capital, and also specially explained to Liu Xian about the relationship with the Kong family.

According to Ma Guiren's meaning, Liu Xian must befriend Kong Rong no matter what, and he must marry Kong Xue, the young lady of the Kong family.

Ma Guiren also analyzed many benefits for Liu Xian after marrying Kong Xue.

There are some things that Liu Xian also thinks deeply.

The Confucian family in Beihai is a descendant of Confucius. In terms of Confucianism, the Confucian family in Beihai has a pivotal position. Even if Kong Rong resigns now and returns home and is no longer an official in the imperial court, Kong Rong's reputation is still extremely high. In the imperial court, even if he is not an official in the court, he can still speak.

The most important thing is that over time, through the Confucian family, Liu Xian can also gain the recognition of more scholars in the Han Dynasty.

In any case, generals are needed to fight the world, but to rule the world, you have to rely on those literati and scholars.

If Liu Xian does not communicate with the Kong family, then his relationship with the Kong family is very likely to end without a problem.

Regarding this matter, Liu Xian decided to comply with Ma Guiren's request, and decided to visit Kong's house in Beihai to enhance his relationship with Kong Xue.

Originally, Liu Xian felt that he was only seventeen years old, and he should not indulge in women too early. Psychologically, he actually agrees with the rule that a man cannot marry before the age of twenty-two.

Not to mention that it must be twenty-two years old, at least, Liu Xian feels that a man will not really become an adult until he is eighteen years old. Sixteen or seventeen years old, theoretically speaking, have become adults, but these two years should be the fastest growing personal body in the year or two, during which it is indeed not appropriate to contact women too early.

But Liu Xian didn't expect that he had an accident with Ma Guiren.

In this way, Liu Xian no longer cares about this problem. After all, Liu Xian's psychological age is already an adult.

This time I went to see Kong Xue, if I had the chance, Liu Xian decided to take her, no matter when I greeted her, but first cooked the raw rice and cooked rice.

In addition, I will give Qian Kuan another explanation, and ask him to prepare a group of people to go to Beihai together, and when the time comes, he will purchase some industries in Beihai and establish an intelligence system.

decided to go to Beihai, and the preparation work was naturally handed over to Xu Shang and them to do.

Liu Xian couldn't do many things for the time being, but now he was idle before he went to Beihai.

It also happens that I spend more time with the daughters at home.

If nothing happens, if this world is a peaceful and prosperous world, Liu Xian can really live a very comfortable life.

In later generations, only monogamy can be allowed, but in this era, a man can have three wives and four concubines in an upright manner, hugging left and right.

What makes Liu Xian feel a little incredible is that whether it is Xiaojing, Zhang Ning or Yi Ji, or Huang Wudie and Cai Yan. They didn't get angry or emotional because Liu Xian had so many women around them. On the contrary, as if nothing happened, they usually get along well together, and they always seem to be able to find common topics among women. Now that they are acquainted, they are like sisters, talking about everything.
