Chapter 14 Shrinking Clothes and Dieting

Liu Bei didn't answer, but said to Mrs. Gan: "What have the eldest and second been doing recently?" ”

"In literacy." This topic is a bit wrong, but Mrs. Gan is used to it, and quickly replies.

"Don't be literate yet, and women don't need to read. Let them learn how to weave with your wife. Liu Bei shook his head, and then said: "Recently, there is a problem with Xinye's money and grain, madam, you lead everyone in the house, and everyone in the house will go to weave cloth if they have time, or find something to do." Sell more cloth for money. Don't be idle. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi glanced at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes. Mrs. Gan whispered, "Is it really that difficult? ”

"It's really difficult." Liu Bei sighed.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm going to organize the idle people in the house to weave, but the loom in the house is not enough. It needs to be forged more by the master craftsmen. ”

Mrs. Gan was very submissive.

"Good. I'll send someone to the craftsman to say something. Liu Bei nodded in response.

But here in Xinye, in addition to raising soldiers, Liu Bei also raised a lot of blacksmiths, carpenters and other craftsmen, building weapons and war tools during wartime, and building farm tools and furniture in his spare time.

So the tone in General Zuo's mansion was set, shrinking clothes and dieting, opening up sources and reducing expenditure. Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi personally went down and led Liu Bei's eldest daughter, youngest daughter, and idle people in the house to weave cloth to subsidize the family.

The news spread, and the wives of the civil and military ministers could not sit still.

It was a sunny morning.

Hanshou Pavilion Hou Mansion.

Guan Ping took the second general to go to school, and Liu was weaving cloth in the small hall, and by the way, he took Guan Xing. Guan Xing is more than three years old, tiger-headed and energetic.

Walking around on short legs.

"Madam, Mrs. Zhang is here." A maid came in to report. Before Liu could say anything, the Xiahou clan had already come in.

"Sister, I've come to see you." Xiahou walked in very refreshed, and went straight to the guest seat and knelt down.

"Good sister." Liu put down the loom, a smile bloomed on his face, came to the master's seat and knelt down, and asked the maid to serve tea.

After talking for a while, Xiahou clarified his intentions. "Sister, do you know that there has been a shortage of food in Xinye recently?"

"Naturally, I know that it has been almost a month since my general went fishing in Hanshui. Your general is also hunting. Liu sighed.

"Speaking of this, fishing can be caught every day, but this hunting is difficult. I heard that the rabbits and pheasants in Xinye are about to be hunted recently, and they have to go to Linxian to have prey. ”

Xiahou also sighed, and then shook his head, she didn't come to this today.

But it was said that half of the grain sent by Liu Zhennan in the south was bad, and the current lord was very difficult, so Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi led the two young ladies, as well as the idle people in the house, to weave cloth to subsidize the family. The lord's family is like this, and I think we should be like the same? Our family also has a lot of idlers. ”

Xiahou said again.

The idlers raised by the Guan family are disabled old pawns, and what are the half-grown teenagers, although the second general will have the task of following Guan Ping, and the rest of the old pawns and teenagers can also help to do something, but most of the time they are idle.

The Zhang family has a lot of maids, and in addition to serving the master, they spend more time chatting and breaking their mouths.

And now that Xinye is so difficult, Liu Bei, as the main father, has to weave cloth for the women of the house to create income, Guan Zhang and other subordinate martial arts, how can they also express it.

The Xiahou clan came to the Liu clan to discuss this matter.

"My sister is thoughtful, that's how it should be." After listening to this, Liu said with a smile. Immediately, the Xiahou clan and the Liu clan discussed, and the Xiahou clan took the lead to find the current civil and military ministers in Xinye, and the wives of the idle guests.

At noon, Guan Ping returned to the Hou Mansion and had lunch with Liu in the lobby. After Guan Ping ate, he wiped his mouth with a cloth, intending to say something to Liu, so he went down to practice martial arts.

Liu Shi stopped Guan Ping first and said, "Ping'er, start today." I will send Zhou Xiong, Li Fei and other teenagers to Hanshui to help your father fish. In the future, you will be alone when you go out, but it is safe in the city, so don't go outside the city. ”

Guan Ping was stunned for a moment and said, "Xinye money and grain are so tight???? Are even teenagers going fishing? ”

"Yes, I heard that half of the grain sent by Liu Zhennan in the south is bad. The lord has already asked Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi to lead the people in General Zuo's mansion to weave together, of course we can't sit back and watch. Whether it's fishing or weaving, it's always time to generate income. ”

Liu sighed and nodded.

"That Liu Biao is really not a thing, no wonder I didn't have a son, I was wrong, it was worse than not. Cao Cao said that giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Liu Jingsheng's son should be like a dog. ”

Guan Pingda was angry and muttered.

"Ping'er, what did you say?" Liu didn't hear clearly, so he asked.

"It's okay, it's okay." Guan Ping hurriedly shook his head, and then said: "Mother can send Zhou Xiong, Li Fei and others to fish, I can stay in the city with peace of mind, just don't go out of the city." ”

Liu felt that Guan Ping was sensible, and showed a rather relieved smile.

Then Guan Ping went down to practice martial arts, there was originally a riding and archery event, since it is not safe to go out of the city, then practice at home.

Basic exercises for physical fitness, muscles, push-ups, sit-ups and so on.

The Guan family still has a stone lock or something, and Guan Ping will also use it. After the basic exercise, I began to play with the big knife, and after a set of knife techniques, it was also similar.

Guan Ping's physical strength is infinite, as long as he practices diligently, it is impossible to go to the battlefield in the future, it is absolutely impossible, but if he encounters something, such as the escape of Xinye and the defeat of Dangyang, he can still fight his way out of the encirclement.

In fact, Guan Ping really wanted to tell his mother and the big-eared thief. In fact, you don't have to worry, I'm already researching distilled spirits, as long as the distilled spirits come out, they can solve the problem of military rations, and even have extra money to recruit troops and cultivate forces.

But Guan Ping couldn't help but say nothing.

He was a seedling, only ten years old. And the current difficulties in Xinye are not solved by Liu Bei, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and others combined.

Liu Bei was the main husband who shrunk clothes and dieted, Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi weaved cloth to subsidize the family, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu fished and hunted.

The Liu family's civil and military affairs have all opened side businesses one by one, and even their families have also generated income together.

What so many people can't solve, a ten-year-old kid claims to be able to solve?

Guan Ping felt that if he swore to say it, he could solve it, and he would have to bloom in his ass.

So now it's better to wait, wait for the distilled liquor to come out, and then talk to Liu Bei about it. If the distilled liquor sells well, Liu Bei will be the emperor in the future, and he will not have a share of the credit.

Oh hehehe.

The Guan family is mighty, and the first hero of the Guan family.

In the future, the ya, the ya, and the life of the ya, are beckoning to me.

Cockfighting, dogs, beautiful clothes, listening to music, beautiful maids and pie stations, a row of fans, a row of peeling grape seeds, a row of beating backs, a row of pinching legs.

Thinking about that day, Guan Ping drooled.
