Early the next morning, after having breakfast, Liu Yi said goodbye to Cui Zhouping and took Deng's mother and son to Zhuge Liang's cottage to visit.

"Brother Liu went and returned, but why?" The boy welcomed Liu Yi and the others into the study, and seeing guests in this study can be regarded as a sign of closeness.

"Brother Kong Ming really doesn't know?" Liu Yi raised his head, glanced at Zhuge Liang, and said with a wry smile, even Cui Zhouping knew that he was on the wanted list of the imperial court, and now that the two families are so close, how could Zhuge Liang not know?

Zhuge Liang smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at Liu Yi, and silently picked up the tea soup on the table.

"I met Uncle Liu Huang yesterday, and I said to Zhou Ping, guess you are about to come out, and I haven't congratulated Kong Ming yet." Liu Yi smiled at Zhuge Liang.

"With Brother Liu's ability, if you can work with me to help Duke Ming, why should you be afraid of Cao Cao?" Zhuge Liang put down the tea soup, looked at Liu Yi, and said seriously: "This time, Brother Liu went to Xuchang, but turned back halfway, isn't this the will of heaven?" ”

Liu Yi rubbed his temples, looked at Zhuge Liang and said with a smile: "Then Uncle Liu Huang has a good background, and now he can get the help of Kong Ming, he does have the appearance of taking off, and when he returns this time, he also has the same meaning, but now Uncle Huang's side, even if I go, it is useless." ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he nodded silently, Liu Bei is only two thousand, and he will not be able to pass Zhang Zhao, not to mention the strategist, even if he really looks at the thatched house, he is probably the only one who can be regarded as a strategist, and this is also the reason why Zhuge Liang avoided Liu Bei twice.

The first time, I really don't like it, but this time, it is with the intention of teaching in my heart, if Liu Bei is really willing to invite him again and again, it means that Liu Bei does have the qualifications worthy of his assistance, thick-skinned, and it is definitely not a shortcoming in politics.

Although he chose to avoid it this time, Zhuge Liang has now begun to think about how Liu Bei will develop, and this time he sent an invitation to Liu Yi, which is also preparing talents for Liu Bei, because among the princes in the world today, Liu Bei is the one who needs talents the most, is Liu Yi a talent?

Definitely.

Zhuge Liang himself is not exclusive to the mechanism and carpentry skills, otherwise he would not have befriended Liu Yi, what Liu Yi made is enough to prove his value, not to mention, judging from Zhuge Liang's feelings of interacting with Liu Yi during this time, Liu Yi is not just a simple craftsman, he also has a strong overall view, and he also has a similar judgment to himself about the future trend of the world.

"Then I don't know where Brother Liu wants to go?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.

"Jiangxia or Jiangling, if Cao's army moves south, I'm afraid that Xiangyang will not be able to hold it, I recently took over a business, and I am going to go there to help people build a walled city." Liu Yi thought about it and said, in history, Liu Cong surrendered, and even took most of the counties and counties of Jingxiang to Cao Cao, if it weren't for the defeat of Chibi, Cao Cao would occupy such a strong advantage, even if he couldn't beat Jiangdong on the water, but it was still no problem to hold the land of Jingxiang, but unfortunately, there was no if in history, Cao Cao was a little anxious this time.

When Zhuge Liang heard this, the smile on his face was even worse, and he nodded: "Brother Liu might as well go to Jiangxia, here is connected to Wuyue in the east and Xiangyang in the west. ”

"It doesn't necessarily help." Liu Yi nodded, but he didn't have a packing ticket, he still knew how many catties and taels he had, and he wasn't ready to run with Liu Ranran, people are really fateful, they can run away anywhere, but they may not be.

"As long as Brother Liu helps to create some utensils, Brother Liu will not be in danger." Zhuge Liang was a little amused.

"This is not difficult, after I build the walled city, I will send someone to inform Kong Ming, if Kong Ming needs anything at that time, just come to me!" Liu Yi's eyes lit up, in this way, he really caught Liu Bei's line, if he could make Liu Bei come to him in the future, whether he was making ordnance, building bridges and paving roads, or even building cities, not to mention skills and experience, after Liu Bei stabilized in the future, wouldn't it be a wide range of financial resources?

And this is also the reason why Liu Yi wants to hug Liu Bei's thigh, Boss Cao's thigh can't be hugged, Boss Liu's thigh seems to be quite promising now, so the next step is to choose a fixed foundation for himself.

"Kong Ming, I heard that Jiangxia Taishou is a member of the Huang clan, I want to find a place to build a walled city in Jiangxia, thinking that the workshop will be located in the future, I wonder if Kong Ming can help me dredge one or two?" Since he wants to cooperate, Liu Bei must have no money now, and it is unrealistic for Liu Yi to get benefits from Liu Bei in the future, it can only be regarded as an investment, but before that, ask Zhuge Liang to use his network to allow him to get a piece of legal land in Jiangxia to settle Lu Lingqi and his party, which is a little favor, and it is not difficult for Zhuge Liang to do it.

Don't look at Longzhong's self-proclaimed cloth clothes to Zhuge Liang and plough in Nanyang, but in fact, although Zhuge Liang also farms, but people are in order to cultivate sentiment and distinguish the time, most of the land in Wollongong is Zhuge family, and Zhuge Liang personally planted it, less than half an acre, as for the cloth is even more nonsense, although there is no Liu Biao, but Zhuge Liang's connections in Jingzhou are really not low, the eldest brother-in-law is the Jingzhou Wang family, and the second brother-in-law Pang Shanmin is the son of Pang Degong, and he is a famous man in Jingxiang.

And Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying is the daughter of Jingxiang Huang's family, that Jiangxia guards Huang Zu too much, Zhuge Liang has to call his uncle or something, just these connections, plus the recommendation of Mr. Shui Jing and Pang Degong, if you really want to become a leader, the starting point is not low.

Now Liu Yi's connections are Zhuge Liang, now that there is an exchange of interests, he naturally has to ask for some benefits, Liu Bei has no money, but there are many rich people in Jingzhou, and some have the opportunity to make money, and he has to make a reputation first.

Zhuge Liang nodded when he heard this, just a place to give a name, for him, it was really not difficult, and immediately said: "I will write a letter, and Brother Liu will visit at that time." ”

For Liu Yi, it was a very difficult question, but when he came to Zhuge Liang, it was just a matter of a letter, and he didn't even need to deliberately go to the ward, sure enough, no matter what era, if you want to do something, you can't get around it.

"There's another personal matter." Liu Yi looked at Zhuge Liang and said: "This time I went north, but I met a young man with a lot of aura, who stuttered a little, but he was talented and intelligent, and he had the heart to learn, so he couldn't bear to bury his talent, so he brought it back together, I don't know if Kong Ming is willing to accept apprentices?" ”

"Apprentices?" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yi strangely, and unconsciously picked up the feather fan on the table and shook it gently: "Can you see Liang?" ”

"Deng Ai, come in." Liu Yi nodded when he heard this, and shouted outside the door.

Deng Mu and Deng Ai, who were already waiting outside the door, hurriedly pushed the door in.

Zhuge Liang looked at Deng Ai, but Deng Ai was not afraid of life, and bowed to Zhuge Liang and said, "I've seen Mr." ”

"Sister-in-law, this is what I call Zhuge Kongming, who is praised as the person of Wolong by Pang Degong and Mr. Shuijing, and has the talent of the heavens and latitudes." Liu Yi stretched out his hand and introduced to Mother Deng.

When Mother Deng heard this, she also saluted Zhuge Liang.

"Madame doesn't have to be polite." Zhuge Liang stood up, holding a feather fan, and looked at Deng Ai, although Deng Ai's family background is not too good, but after all, he is a child of the clan, he has a sufficient study environment since he was a child, and he has a lot of experience, quite a little young and old, Zhuge Liang looked at Deng Ai carefully for a while, nodded and said: "Dare to ask Madame, but you are from the Shi clan?" ”

"The deceased husband is the Xinye Deng family." Mother Deng bowed and said.

"Deng?" Zhuge Liang nodded and smiled: "No wonder." ”

Liu Yi didn't say much, this kind of thing, bring people by himself, as for whether Zhuge Liang is willing to accept it, it is another matter.
