When Jian Yong talked about this, Liu Bei was even more worried, and said: "It is precisely because the situation is very good, so the development is too fast. So far, I have purchased a total of 120,000 slaves and servants. He also ordered Yun Chang, Yide, and Shu to expand to 6,000 soldiers and horses. Although they also ordered people to reclaim wasteland, it can be relieved when the harvest is harvested this autumn. But it's almost a decade, and I need to raise 20,000 people. At present, although there is a lot of grain in Xinye, I am afraid that it will not last for ten months. ”

It is a good thing to buy people to open up wasteland, and it is also a good thing to recruit soldiers.

But if there is no food, then there will be big problems. Just like Yuan Shu in Huainan, the army collapsed immediately, and the people were desperate, so they vomited blood and died.

Liu Bei was also a little remorseful, he didn't take into account the consequences, and his steps were too big.

Liu Bei's words didn't match the words, Jian Yong was stunned for a moment, then thought about it for a while, and then came to his senses. "Could it be that Jingzhou's money and grain, something is wrong again?"

Jian Yong asked.

"Liu Biao asked Cai and Zhang to cut off my money and grain, war horses, slaves and maids, and restrained Jingzhou officials, and some scholars should not buy Mi's wine. The bottom of the kettle cut me off. ”

Liu Bei showed hatred and gritted his teeth.

"It's bad, but it's effective." Jian Yong was silent for a moment, and then sighed.

This is all because Xinye is too weak, even if there is a gold mine, it is like putting children in the downtown area, and children have gold in their hands.

Liu Biao will not rob openly, but he can do things secretly.

It's the knife and the fish meat, and I can't do anything about it.

At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded, and Mi Zhu walked in from outside, saluted Liu Bei and Jian Yong, and said, "My lord, Mr. Xianhe." ”

"Sit." Liu Bei raised his hand and asked Mi Zhu to sit down.

If it is usual, Liu Bei wants to ask about the brewing of Mi's wine, how the reserves are, how the sales are, and feel the joy of grabbing money.

But forget it now, Liu Bei is not in the mood.

Mi Zhu is of course also a smart person, seeing Liu Bei's solemn face, he guessed that something might have gone wrong, and hurriedly sat upright and waited for the following.

Liu Bei waited for Mi Zhu to sit down, and then told the matter, and at the end, he showed a look of anticipation and said, "What can I do if it is?" ”

Liu Bei's three major strategists, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and Mi Zhu, all three of them heard this sentence and heard the cocoon.

But it's a pity that three people may not be able to help Liu Bei come up with an idea three times out of ten.

Jian Yong and Mi Zhu looked at each other for a moment, this time Mi Zhu remembered something, and said to Liu Bei: "Actually, Guan Ping has foreseen this, so he strongly opposes opening a shop in Jingzhou to sell wine. If you open a shop, you will be pinched by Liu Biao, and you don't need Liu Biao to do it, and the county officials can seal the shop. ”

Speaking of this, Mi Zhu paused, and said: "So Guan Ping said that he wanted to make Mi's wine famous all over the world, earn money and grain from Bashu, Yangzhou, and even the north, and even war horse materials, etc. ”

"Now Jingzhou is not a good target, but Bashu Yangzhou is a good target."

Mi Zhu's words greatly lifted Liu Bei's spirits, and then looked forward to it: "How can Mi's wine immediately sell well in Yangzhou and Bashu, and become a must-have for the scholars and Haoqiang banquets?" ”

It's a problem, a big problem.

According to Guan Ping's original strategy, he first became famous in Jingzhou, and then slowly spread his reputation to Bashu and Yangzhou, and there was no need to advertise more.

is a truth, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

Human-to-human transmission is enough.

However, it takes time for the Han Dynasty to pass on from person to person, and although Jingzhou is connected with Bashu and Yangzhou, the road is not easy to walk, and the distance is long.

The scholars of Jingzhou did not communicate very frequently with the scholars of Yangzhou and Bashu. Of course, there are still exchanges, after a long time, there will be Bashu, Yangzhou people fall in love with Mi's wine, and then rely on the quality and taste of Mi's wine, you can be very popular.

But that takes time.

And Liu Xian didn't give Liu Bei time, and when Liu Bei showed signs of rising, he casually stuck Liu Bei's neck, making Liu Bei almost lose his breath.

In such a situation, the solution is actually quite simple. Quickly open Bashu, Yangzhou's sales will be on the line.

But the problem is that Mi Zhu and Jian Yong don't have this talent.

Business skills.

This made Mi Zhu and Jian Yong blush a little, and it was just at that time. Xinye has no products, and it is difficult for them to cook without rice.

Now that Xinye has a product, they can't open up sales, which is really ashamed.

Jian Yong, Mi Zhu was speechless for a while, and Liu Bei was also speechless. The three of them sat together, staring at each other.

At this time, Mrs. Gan walked in from outside with two handmaidens, each holding two beautiful wooden boxes.

When Mrs. Gan entered the study, she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the three people staring at each other, and the atmosphere was silent. Then he said to Liu Bei gently: "Husband, I heard that Mr. Xianhe and Mr. Zizhong are here." I specially took the pastry for the two gentlemen to taste. ”

The three of them, who were staring at each other with big eyes, immediately became active. Liu Bei hurriedly said: "This pastry is good, you two try it, try it." ”

So the three of them began to taste the pastry, diluting the embarrassment just now.

Soon after, Mrs. Gan left with her two maidservants. Liu Bei was eating pastries and drinking water at the same time, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

When he was eating the pastry by himself just now, he was thinking about sending it to the stinky boy.

And that stinky boy presented Mi's wine recipe, and arranged the plan, and now there is a problem with the plan, discuss it with that kid.

Why am I so stupid that I didn't think of this?

"Hahahaha." Liu Bei suddenly patted his head and let out a laughing sound.

"Why is the lord laughing?" Mi Zhu was stunned and asked.

"Isn't the lord laughing at my incompetence?" Jian Yong thought crookedly, and said very unpleasantly.

"I'm laughing at my stupidity, knowing that neither of us has the talent to make money in business, but the three of us sit together and stare at each other."

Liu Bei laughed, and then Liu Bei greeted the entourage outside the door: "Come on, go outside the city to summon Guan Ping here." ”

"No." The attendant promised and hurriedly went down.

Jian Yong, Mi Zhu came to their senses at this time, and each laughed and said, how could they forget that kid.

"It's just that if you don't bother the two masters, you will work hard for that stinky boy." Liu Bei stroked his palms and smiled, hehe.

"Hahaha, that's what the lord said. Guan Ping's kid couldn't succeed in his studies, and I was privately taught to open a small stove, but he was still stupid. But I heard that the training is very good, and there are more ghost ideas. Looking for him in this matter, maybe he can really anger Liu Biao and make the dead chess come alive again. ”

Jian Yong also laughed, very happy.

"Hehehe." Mi Zhu also touched his beard, thinking to himself, that is the person I value in investment, and I will definitely be able to figure out a way.

Mi Zhu sent his eldest son Mi Wei to Guan Ping's command to be Dubo, because he valued Guan Ping's future.
