Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Hearing that Liu Xiu only needed grain and grass, several patriarchs of the scholar clan looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief together.

They said with smiles on their faces: "General Liu, don't worry, in the past few days, we will start to raise a batch of grain and send it to the county government." ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "If this is the case, Xiu is really grateful." ”

"Oh, General Liu is too polite, the Han army brothers have eliminated the two scourges of Li Wen and Jia Xuan for the people of Xiangcheng, and it is also within my share to raise some food and grass for the Han army brothers!" Everyone said with a smile on their faces.

Liu Xiu chatted with them for a while, and when he showed tiredness, several patriarchs of the scholar clan got up with interest and said goodbye to Liu Xiu one after another. After they left, Wang Ba couldn't help but snort coldly, and said indignantly: "When Li Wen and Jia Xuan were here, they tried their best to flatter and curry favor in every way, but now that Li Wen and Jia Xuan are dead, they changed their faces quickly and turned around immediately

, insulting in every way, what a group of villains who see the wind and rudder! ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said: "Uncle Yuan, it is human nature to hold high and step low, and seeing the wind makes the rudder also the way to protect oneself." ”

He followed his eldest brother to rebel, from Chungling to Wancheng, this way down, what kind of people have not seen, what kind of things have not been encountered, for all kinds of manifestations of human nature, he has long been aware of it, accustomed to it.

As he was talking, a soldier walked in, intervened in Liu Xiu's salute, and said, "General, He Lu, the head of the Yongcang Grain Shop, asks to see him!" ”

Liu Xiu blinked, raised his head and said, "Please." ”

After a short time, the soldiers brought in two people from outside, a man and a woman, an old and a young.

The older middle-aged man is in his forties, with a square face, small eyes, a big nose and a big mouth, his appearance is not good, and the clothes on his body are very unusual. With a gorgeous jade crown on his head, he was wearing a beautiful satin robe, and a belt woven of gold thread was tied around his waist, and there were several jade pendants tied on the belt, white jade, blood jade, and black jade

Sound.

Look at his palm, it is a jade wrench and a gold ring. This outfit, from head to toe, is proving one thing to people, Lao Tzu is rich, very rich!

He was accompanied by a little girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, who was dressed gorgeously, but at least the color was plain, and compared with the middle-aged man, this girl's dress was much more pleasing to the eye.

Liu Xiu didn't know the middle-aged man, but he knew the girl who came with him. His eyes flashed, and he muttered in his heart, it turned out to be her! Miss Ho!

Her surname is He, and the head of Yongcang Grain Store is also surnamed He, and now that they are coming together, Liu Xiu can already guess the identity of this Miss He.

No wonder she was born in the market, but she was invited to Li Hun's wedding.

In today's troubled times, it is better to have money in your hands than to have grain in your hands, and the He family's Yongcang grain shop is one of the largest grain merchants in Xiangcheng, thinking about it, this is also the main reason why Li Wen and Li Hun and his son look at the He family differently.

After the middle-aged man entered the hall, he shrunk his neck, held his shoulders, and didn't dare to look at it at all, he knelt on his knees, bowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Villain He Lu, meet General Liu!" ”

Miss He, like the middle-aged man, also knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

While kowtowing, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at Miss He, who saw his questioning eyes, lowered his eyes, and nodded slightly. Seeing her gesture, the middle-aged man suddenly showed joy.

What happened in the Li Mansion, Miss He had already told him, and also said that on the way home, she helped an assassin named Liu Xiu, but I don't know if this Liu Xiu is the Liu Xiu of the Nanyang Han Army.

Now that he has been confirmed by his daughter, He Lu is naturally overjoyed. At present, it is the Han army that is in charge of Xiangcheng, and the leader of the Han army is Liu Xiu, and his daughter has helped him, can he not look at the He family differently?

He Lu didn't expect Liu Xiu to treat the He family very well, as long as he could save the lives of the whole family, he would be satisfied.

"Mr. Ho, please. Who is this? Liu Xiu first waved his hand to He Lu, and then his eyes fell on Miss He's face.

He Lu didn't dare to get up immediately, knelt on the ground, and said cautiously: "General Liu, this is the little girl He Miaoying." ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "It turned out to be Miss Miaoying!" ”

Hearing that Liu Xiu had changed her name, He Miaoying involuntarily raised her head, looking at Liu Xiu with confusion in her eyes. The latter smiled: "When I was waiting for Li Fu to assassinate Li Wen and Jia Xuan, Miss Miaoying helped me. ”

Seeing that Liu Xiu bluntly confessed the matter, He Lu was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "The little girl can help General Liu, it is really a blessing for the little girl!" ”

He Miaoying asked with concern, "How is General Liu's injury?" ”

He Lu glared at her dissatisfiedly on the side, signaling her to be cautious, ask what should be asked, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, maybe you don't want others to know about other people's injuries!

Liu Xiu is much more easy-going and open-minded than he imagined. He touched his shoulder and said with a smile: "Miss Miaoying is worried, and the injury is no longer serious." ”

exchanged a few words with He Miaoying, and then, Liu Xiu turned his eyes, looked at He Lu, and said, "Mr. He is the big shopkeeper of Yongcang Grain Shop. ”

"Positive...... Precisely! The villain is in Xiangcheng and runs several grain stores. He Lu nodded again and again.

"I have inquired about the grain price of Yongcang Grain Shop, and it is much higher than that of Kunyang." Liu Xiu said slowly.

He said it lightly, but He Lu's cold sweat broke out instantly.

Liu Xiu continued: "It can be seen that over the years, He has made a fortune by selling grain, wearing gold and silver, which is enviable!" ”

When He Lu heard this, his legs weakened, he knelt on the ground with a pop, kowtowed forward again and again, and said urgently: "General Liu spares his life, General Liu spares his life......"

Now his bowels are full of regret, and he regrets that he didn't listen to his daughter's admonition.

Before coming, He Miaoying reminded him not to dress so ostentatious, but he felt that what he was wearing was more expensive, firstly, because he had face, and secondly, he could also prove to the Han army that he was valuable.

But after seeing Liu Xiu, he realized that he was wrong. Liu Xiu is completely different from the rumored leaders of the rebel army, and he did not wear gold and silver because he was developed.

He was just an ordinary cloth robe, with ordinary hair in a bun on his head, wrapped in a cloth scarf, cloth boots under his feet, and no decorative items around his waist.

In front of Liu Xiu like this, He Lu felt that the gold, silver and jade in his body not only did not give him face, but was more like his own life-threatening talisman. He swallowed his saliva and stammered, "The price of the grain in the villain's grain shop, and ...... It's not the villain's own decision, but ...... It was set by Li Wen, and the grain sold was only ...... by the villain Earn only a small profit, big ...... Most of the profits

Run, all ...... They were all taken away by Li Wen......"

Liu Xiu fully believed that if he didn't get the slightest benefit from him, Li Wen would not treat him so kindly, and invited him to bring his family to attend his son's wedding.

However, for businessmen like He Lu, especially the extremely valuable grain merchants, they still have to be beaten.

Liu Xiu slowly stood up, walked down from the seat, and when he came to He Lu, he stood still, looked down at him, and asked slowly: "In this way, the people of Yurou Xiangcheng are not in charge of He, but Li Wen." ”

"Positive...... Precisely! He Lu Khan replied like rain, trembling.

"But Levine is dead." If you say this now, isn't it dead and untestified?

"Villain...... The villain has an account book in his hand, and in the account book, everything is remembered clearly, if General Liu does not believe in the villain, the villain will immediately let people take the account book! He Lu said urgently.

Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, smiled indifferently, bent down, held He Lu's arm, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper He, get up and speak!" ”

Call! After being helped up by Liu Xiu himself, He Lu couldn't help but exhale turbid breath for a long time, feeling cold behind his back, and the placket behind his back was already soaked.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Shopkeeper He doesn't have to worry, I just asked casually, what's more, Miss Miaoying has also helped me, even if it is for the sake of Miss Miaoying's face, I will not embarrass Shopkeeper He." ”

"Thank you, General Liu! Thank you, General Liu, villain! He Lu gave Liu Xiu a strong hand.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "Now that Li Wen is dead, the grain price in Xiangcheng should also return to normal, at least on the same level as Kunyang, what does the shopkeeper think?" ”

He Lu nodded again and again, and responded: "Yes, yes, yes!" General Liu was reasonable, and after the villain went back, he immediately lowered the price of grain in the grain shop. ”

Liu Xiu said: "In addition, our army is currently short of grain and grass, and we still need the help of the shopkeeper in this matter!" ”

He Lu was stunned for a moment, and then he patted his chest and promised: "General Liu, rest assured, as long as there is a villain, he will never let the Han army brothers go hungry!" ”

Liu Xiu smiled when he heard this, and said that everything else is false, only He Lu's words can be regarded as true.

He said: "If Shopkeeper He can really do what he says and solve the problem of food and grass for our army, I will report to Your Majesty, why the Shopkeeper asks for a reward, I dare not say that I can let Shopkeeper He get an official and a half position, but I can let Shopkeeper He get a knighthood!" ”

Liu Xiu is too good at perceiving people's hearts. What does an upstart like He Lu want most, he already has a lot of money, and what he wants most is status, to be recognized by the scholars, to be able to sit on an equal footing with the scholars.

And He Lu has also been working hard in this direction, squeezing his head to the scholar class, but unfortunately he is from the market, and the scholar class does not want to see him and cannot tolerate him as a businessman.

If He Lu gets the title, it will be different, he can wash away his background in the market and become a member of the noble class. Hearing Liu Xiu's words, He Lu's body was shocked, and without saying a word, he kowtowed forward again, his head hit the ground and banged, his excited voice trembled, and said, "Villain Xie General Liu!" General Liu's great kindness and virtue, the villain is toothless and unforgettable

The villain will swear allegiance to General Liu to the death, and he will never give up! ”

He Lu was so emotional that he didn't know what to say, and his square face became red because of the congestion.

Seeing this, Jia Fu and the others on the side were a little crying and laughing, and muttered in their hearts, this shopkeeper He wants the title and wants to go crazy, right?

None of them are merchants, so naturally they do not understand the suffering of merchants.

Merchants have money, they can do a lot of things with money, and they should be a very powerful class in society, but their political status is too low, and even in the eyes of the noble class, their status is not as good as that of commoners.

In the past, He Lu didn't say that he wanted to squeeze into the scholar class, even if he wanted to have a good relationship with the scholar clan and have some friendship with him, it was very difficult. Now that he has been recognized by Liu Xiu all of a sudden, can he not be happy?

At this time, He Lu had already made up his mind that he must have a good relationship with Liu Xiu. Wasn't the Han army short of food? He doesn't have much in his hands, just a lot of food, and how much the Han army lacks, he will make up for the Han army! As long as Liu Xiu is firmly grasped as a backer, will the He family in the future still be worried about not being able to squeeze into the scholar class? An opportunity to change the fate of the He family has been placed in front of him.
