Volume 1 The First Entry into the Three Kingdoms Chapter 32 Cheng Li?
Seeing that Liu Yi was angry, the guys in the kitchen hurriedly ran back and called out the chef who was in charge of the catering of everyone in the Arsenal Division.
The chef of the Arsenal Division is a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, and looking at his appearance really responds to the sentence "Big head and thick neck, not a big man"
When the man heard Liu Yi's call, he hurriedly ran out, and after running to Liu Yi's side, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Participate in the lord!" I don't know what the Lord has to call the villain? ”
Liu Yi picked up the broth in front of a blacksmith master next to him, scooped it in with chopsticks a few times, but didn't get a piece of meat, then bent over and handed the soup to the chef and said coldly, "I give you so much food money every month, so you make these things for me?" ”
Seeing Liu Yi's blame, the man hurriedly kowtowed and admitted his mistake: "The villain knows that he is wrong, the lord spares his life, the lord spares his life!" ”
"Say! What about the money I gave you!? Liu Yi shouted loudly.
When the man heard this, he hesitated for a long time and did not answer.
Liu Yi was about to punish this person, but the blacksmith Li on the side got up and knelt beside Liu Yi and said, "Don't blame him, lord, everything is the fault of the old child!" ”
It turned out that during the month when Liu Yi was recuperating at home, Li Blacksmith and others were building weapons and equipment, so the construction of civilian iron tools that were responsible for the daily expenses of the Arsenal Division was suspended. As more and more weapons were made, Blacksmith Li and the others began to be stretched, so after discussing with everyone, they decided to reduce the consumption of daily food, no longer eat meat at meals, and everyone also took out all their wages for the creation of weapons.
After listening to Blacksmith Li's explanation, Liu Yi slapped himself hard in front of everyone, and said guiltily, "Alas~ It's all my fault, I only cared about resting at home this month, and I forgot about it"
After speaking, Liu Yi hurriedly picked up the blacksmith Li and the cook in front of him, and then said to everyone: "I, the lord, am really ashamed of everyone!" I promise you that this will never happen again."
After Liu Yi finished speaking, he still said to Blacksmith Li with some resentment: "Master Li, why don't you tell me if something like this happens, no one can be bitter, we masters!" Without the powerful weapons created by our masters, what can the soldiers use to kill the enemy on the battlefield! Good weapons and equipment are equivalent to the second life of soldiers, so if there is such a thing in the future, you must tell me, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I can't let the masters suffer! ”
Hearing this, Blacksmith Li hurriedly said, "I heard that the lord was sick before, and the old child was afraid of causing trouble to the lord, so I didn't tell the lord!" ”
"How's that going to work! In the future, if there is anything, as long as I am not dead, I have to report it truthfully! Liu Yi said solemnly.
"The old boy has written it down!"
......
After Liu Yi and everyone finished lunch, and ordered everyone not to work but to rest, he took the guards back to the house, and after returning to the house, Liu Yi hurriedly called the housekeeper Wang and asked him to take out a lot of money from the treasury in the palace and send it to the Treasury Division.
The matter of the Arsenal Division made Liu Yi feel deeply, he fell, and no one came out to preside over many things, Zhang Fei and others lived with Liu Yi every day, so they would tell them anything in time, but people like Li Blacksmith rarely had the opportunity to enter the mansion to report, and Liu Yi would only say a few words to Liu Yi when he went to inspect on weekdays, once Liu Yi did not go, the entire Arsenal Division could only rely on Li Blacksmith to support him.
Liu Yi deeply felt that he lacked a "housekeeper" who could preside over the work Liu Yi thought of a lot of candidates on the way back, the most suitable is Ma Xiancheng, but now Ma Xiancheng is old, and he doesn't know Liu Yi's ambitions, so he can't do this at all, and thought about Zhang Fei and a few people, Zhang Fei and Wang San are brave but lack of brains, Cui Si has brains but this kid is too unreliable, let him do business, open a restaurant, collect intelligence and other things, if he is in charge of government affairs, less than a month, He can turn the Arsenal Division into a civilian department store!
Liu Yi thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a good candidate, so he could only give up the matter first.
In the evening, Liu Yi was having dinner with Zhang Fei and others at the house, and Liu Yi asked the soldiers about it while eating.
"Yide, the soldiers are still satisfied with the equipment that was sent over during the day today!?"
Seeing Liu Yi asking, Zhang Fei took a sip of wine and said, "I'm so satisfied!" As soon as the equipment went down, it almost didn't give those soldiers a snot bubble! ”
"That's good! You have to train this team for me well, and when the time comes, don't drop the chain for me," Liu Yi said while serving a meal.
When Zhang Fei heard this, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, patted his chest and promised, "Lord, don't worry!" I can't guarantee that one hit ten! But a dozen or two, that's more than enough! ”
Liu Yi nodded when he heard this.
"Now that Yao Lie is gone, your team is now our only trump card, the war is together, whether we drink soup or eat meat in the future depends on you."
Zhang Fei heard Liu Yi talk about Yao Lie again, he was very sad and indignant, and after drinking all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, he shouted to the people outside the door, "Go, go, bring me another jar of wine"
Liu Yi saw that Zhang Fei was still drinking, so he reprimanded, "Okay, Yide, how much have you drunk!?" ”
Zhang Fei was a little sullen when he heard this, but he didn't dare to drink more.
Everyone was eating with their heads bored when they heard Cui Si shouting loudly outside.
"Lord, lord! ~”
Liu Yi put down the dishes and chopsticks, didn't get up, and replied loudly outside, "What are the ghosts calling outside!?" ”
After a while, I saw Cui running into the inner courtyard with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly asked, "What is it that makes you happy like this?" ”
"Lord, there is a powerful person in our county!" Cui Si picked up the chopsticks on the table that he didn't know who it was, and said vaguely while stuffing meat into his mouth.
When Liu Yi heard this, he suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Who is here?" ”
Cui Si took a sip of the tea in front of Liu Yi, pressed the food in his mouth, and said, "This evening, I heard from my subordinates that there is a person named Cheng Li from our county, this person is from Yanzhou, well-informed, resourceful, and has a good reputation in the local area."
"Oh? Cheng Li~" Liu Yi was talking to himself while recalling the memories of his previous life, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of which person Cheng Li was.
"Are you sure his name is Cheng Li? Where is he now? Liu Yi asked again.
Cui Si thought for a while, and replied firmly, "It's indeed called Cheng Li, he is now in a common people's house in the west of the city, I heard that it seems that he is here to visit relatives."
"Good! You hurry up and send someone to show me, don't let this person go, I'll go to meet this Cheng Li early tomorrow morning! ”
"Gotcha!" After Cui Si finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed a steamed bun, and after eating a few mouthfuls of meat, he hurriedly ran out to make arrangements.
Liu Yi and the others couldn't help but laugh when they saw Cui Simao's frizzy appearance.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Liu Yi dressed up, changed into more formal clothes, and then prepared to go to the people's house in the west of the city with Cui Si.
After walking for about half an hour, Liu Yi and the others came to several thatched houses, and through the wooden fence less than one person high outside the door, Liu Yi vaguely saw that in the courtyard inside, several people were drinking tea and chatting around a dilapidated wooden table.
Liu Yi came to the wooden door and knocked lightly on the wooden door a few times, and the people who were chatting inside suddenly fell silent after hearing the knock.
"Who?" An old voice suddenly came from inside the courtyard.
"Liu Yi, I came to visit today, and please don't blame the old gentleman for the troubles," Liu Yi replied respectfully.
As soon as Liu Yi's words fell, he heard a few sounds of stools toppling over in the courtyard, and within a few minutes the wooden door was opened, and what appeared in front of Liu Yi and everyone was an old face, an old man of sixty or seventy years old was trembling and wanted to bow down to Liu Yi at this time.
"The grass people have seen the county magistrate!"
Seeing this, Liu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man, "The old man doesn't need to be polite!" ”
The old man hurriedly invited Liu Yi into the hospital, and when he entered the hospital, Liu Yi saw that there were two other people in the hospital, one was an old woman of the same age as the old man, and it seemed that he knew that this person must be the old man's wife, standing next to the old woman was a middle-aged man about forty years old, eight feet tall, with big eyes and thick eyebrows, and a small goatee on his chin, which looked very energetic.
Liu Yi stared at this person carefully, and began to recall the memories of his previous life in his mind, but Liu Yi's previous life was mostly through film and television works to understand the relevant characters of this era, and those characters were interpreted through actors, so Liu Yi thought about it for a long time and didn't figure out who this person was.
The old man saw the two of them looking at each other, and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce, "This person is the nephew of the grass people, the grass people have no children under their knees, fortunately there is such a filial nephew, every year they will come thousands of miles to see me, no, I just arrived yesterday evening!" After the old man finished speaking, he wanted to get a stool for Liu Yi and others, and Liu Yi saw this and asked Cui Si and others to do it for him.
When Liu Yi heard the old man's words, he felt more and more good for that person in his heart, and became more determined to take this person under his account.
The man walked up to Liu Yi and bowed down expressionlessly, "Grass people Cheng Li has seen Lord Liu!" ”
Liu Yi also clenched his fists and replied, "Mr. has a good reputation, Liu came uninvited today, please don't blame Mr." ”
"How dare you blame! It's an honor for the grass people to come to the humble house," the old man said with a smile as he wanted to pour tea for Liu Yi, Liu Yi saw this, and hurriedly took the teapot and filled it for the middle-aged man before pouring himself a cup.
The middle-aged man was not polite, and he didn't mean to refuse at all when he saw Liu Yi pouring tea.
After the man took a sip of the tea poured by Liu Yi, he preemptively said without waiting for Liu Yi to speak: "Lord Liu Yi came here today for Cheng!" ”
When Liu Yi heard this, the teacup handed to his mouth stopped and put it on the table, and replied respectfully, "Mr. is like a god, Liu Mou is indeed here today for Mr.!" ”
The man took another sip of tea and said lightly, "In that case, please go back, my lord, I have no plans to enter the company at the moment."
"This..." Liu Yi was choked by this person's words, and he didn't know what to say.
Cui Si on the side saw that this person was so rude, and he couldn't look at it, so he pointed at the person and said, "Hey, hey, hey~ Why are you so rude?" My father-in-law came to see you, and you didn't even drink the hot tea, and you started to drive us away? ”
When the man heard this, he didn't even look at Cui Si, and snorted coldly and said, "You sent someone to keep an eye on me yesterday, right?" If it weren't for the fact that your lord still has a reputation for benevolence and love for the people, it would be difficult for you to enter this courtyard today, let alone drink tea here, based on your behavior yesterday! ”
"Who do you think you are? I'm thinking about it..."
Liu Yi hurriedly stopped Cui Si, who was already angry at this time, and got up and bowed, "It's all because Liu has no way to rule, I just collided with Mr., and please don't blame Mr., since Mr. is inconvenient today, then Liu will come to visit another day."
After saying goodbye to the old couple, Liu Yi dragged Cui Si out of the courtyard.
