Liu Zhen blushed and said: "Now there are all young boys and girls under the age of twenty, and there is no housewife, and some sewing work will not be done, so I will let those two little girls learn to sew clothes, and after they learn, they can also help those teenagers sew."

Master Xiang, I said that Master Xiang had a disciple named Xiang Xiong, who was about 20 years old, and had some dealings with Master Xiang because of the sale of weapons. That Xiang Xiong is a member of Master Xiang's clan, when he was ten years old, he followed Master Xiang to learn to strike iron, and now he has nearly ten years, and his skills in striking iron are good, even if he practices a sword, he also likes to practice martial arts, and he is familiar with the two families I sent there, and when it comes to everyone practicing martial arts at night, Xiang Xiong is also envious.

Once I went to Master Xiang to talk about the sword, Xiang Xiong was by his side, saying that he wanted to ask me about martial arts, I smiled and said to him: "If you are willing to come to me, not only can we practice martial arts together, but also stabilize later, you must open a blacksmith shop for him and let him be the shopkeeper." But it was just a joke at the time. ”

Chen Guangdao: "Do you really want him to do things with you?" ”

Liu Zhendao: "Now the Han Dynasty is not appeased in all directions, the management of iron weapons is lax, and weapons are the most profitable, especially weapons that can fight more than 50 practices. Xiang Xiong's sword skills are good, and he is also a real person, if he can come, it will naturally be good, but this requires Gongzi's consent. Besides, the bear may not be willing to go with us, and he also knows that we are from Youzhou, and we won't stay here for too long. But it's not easy to find a good blacksmith. ”

Chen Guang smiled: "What if he is really willing to go with you?" ”

Liu Zhen was pleasantly surprised: "Really! Then he looked at Liu Shi.

Liu Shi smiled and said: "I said it all, you are in charge of this business, and the recruitment of all kinds of capable people is naturally decided by you." Just let me know. ”

When Liu Zhen heard this, he almost jumped up: "Great! If Xiang Xiong is really willing to come, and the son does not object, I naturally can't ask for it. This hundred sword training, but dozens of times the profit. We only need to build ten handfuls a year, and if we save a little frugality, we can have enough food for dozens of people. ”

Liu Shi smiled: "Only a few dozen people are enough for you to worry about, what if there are more people?" Isn't that jumping every day? ”

Liu Zhense said: "Although I have a little bit in my hand now, if there is no entry, it will be empty!" ”

Chen Guang nodded approvingly.

Liu Shi smiled: "Okay! Then you can invite him over and do things for you! ”

Bidding farewell to their uncle, Liu Shi and Liu Zhen returned to the shop to prepare for their departure.

According to the law of the Han Dynasty, the people were not allowed to go out with spears and knives, but in today's troubled times, no weapons are equivalent to sticking out their heads for robbers to cut off.

For this reason, the carriages were made very special, and usually each of the handlebars had a spear or spear hidden in each of them.

The same is true of the carriage built by Liu Zhen, with one or two spears hidden on both sides of the handlebar. In the event of a thief, simply twist one part of the handle to remove the spear. Those who don't have a spear can only be equipped with a long sword, but no one cares about this thing in the Han Dynasty.

As soon as Liu Shi returned to the shop, Liu Wei came to report that there was a surname who came to find the shopkeeper.

Liu Zhen smiled and said, "There is a play!" ”

So he instructed Liu Wei: "Let him in!" ”

Seeing a big man coming in, Liu Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Xiang! How do you have time to get here? Come! Let me introduce you to you, this is my son-in-law. ”

When Xiang Xiong heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Liu Shi said: "Brother Xiang doesn't need to be polite, just say it directly." ”

Xiang Xiong said: "Liu Gongzi is too polite, we splashers are not worthy of being called such a son." I came to the shopkeeper Liu to ask him, does what he said at the beginning count? ”

Liu Shi said with a smile: "What Brother Zhen said naturally counts, as long as Brother Xiang is willing, it will naturally be accepted here." It's just that I want to know how Brother Xiang would be willing to go to Youzhou with us? ”

Xiang Xiong said: "I heard that Liu Gongzi is strong in martial arts, and I, Xiang Xiong, am also a good martial artist, and I want to have the opportunity to get the guidance of Gongzi." Besides, I don't want to stay in Fan County for the rest of my life, I heard that Liu Gongzi and Shopkeeper Liu will go to Luoyang first, and then go back to Youzhou. Maybe I'll go to it again in the future. I just want to go to Luoyang with my son and others to have a look, and I won't live my life in vain. ”

Liu Zhen smiled: "Brother Xiang! Absolutely, as long as you want. Besides, my son-in-law also promised you. We'll stay in Luoyang for a while, and when we get there, I'll think of opening a blacksmith shop for you to be the shopkeeper. If you want to go back to Fan County, you can do it, but you have to teach a disciple! You can't let my blacksmith shop close, can you? ”

Xiang Xiong said: "Shopkeeper Liu! Don't worry, what I Xiang Xiong said will never be taken back, unless Shopkeeper Liu drives me away. ”

Liu Shi smiled: "Brother Xiang! In the future, the real brother will be the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion. All business matters are handled by him, and the real brother values Brother Xiang very much! ”

Xiang Xiong hurriedly said, "Thank you butler for lifting up!" ”

Liu Zhen and Liu Shi looked at each other and smiled, Liu Zhen said: "That brother Xiang will go and prepare, and he will set off the morning after tomorrow." ”

Xiang Xiong responded and hurriedly left.

Liu Zhen handed over the shop clearly, and went to buy three war horses.

In the early morning of this day, a total of seven horses and five carriages drove out from Fan County, because Xingyang was at war, Liu Shi planned to enter Luoyang from Ruzhou, which was far away, and it was important to be safe and the road was easy to walk.

On this day, just after Chen Liu's Wu, I walked one or two hundred miles further to Luoyang, and along the way, I collected or sold a lot of grain, and by the way, I received some good iron.

Liu Zhen plans to buy or rent a shop in Xincheng County, near Luoyang, specializing in the sale of good swords, and make a little groceries, dozens of people are absolutely fine. Just like during this period of time, buying or selling all the way, although it didn't make money, the cost of these people's entanglement was enough.

A few people laughed, turned a hill, and suddenly in the middle of the road stood a big man, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, very majestic, full of beard, and his image was very vicious. Seeing that Liu Shi was waiting, he shouted loudly: "Those who are walking in front, leave a few of your good horses, and the gold and silver with you, and run for your life quickly!" ”

Wu Pu looked at it and said with a smile: "Where did a barbarian come from, I don't know what to do, he even wants to rob people's things by himself!" ”

Liu Zhendao: "This person must be poor and crazy, don't you see so many of us?" ”

Liu Shi glanced at the other party and said nothing.

Liu Wei stepped forward and said to the big man: "Wu Na man, don't you see so many of us? The law of the Han Dynasty, robbery is a big crime, don't go away quickly! ”

The man's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "That child, go and call your master to speak, otherwise you will lose your life in vain." ”

Liu Wei was angry and was about to attack, you know, although this Liu Wei is small, his strength is not small, ordinary adults don't care about it, how can he bear it? At this moment, Liu Shi came forward: "Liu Wei is back, you are not an opponent!" ”

Liu Zhen was stunned! Immediately stepped forward and said to the man: "O man! Do you really want our horses? ”

Dian Wei glanced at Liu Zhen and said, "You are still an understanding person, that's right, the horses of the two of you, as well as the gold and silver you brought and some food." After speaking, he pointed to Liu Shi's good horse.

Liu Zhen smiled and said, "Most of the things we brought are food, I don't know how you can take them alone?" Liu Zhen pointed to the three-horse cart pile behind him.

Dian Wei said angrily: "You kid knows what I'm talking about, of course it's cooked food, but you're teasing me here, do you want to find death?" ”

Liu Zhen also said angrily: "The master just wants to tease you, what?" Do you still want to grab it? ”

Dian Wei was also angry and shouted: "Lao Tzu just wants to rob, don't you understand?" If you push it again, I'll kill you first. Why don't you leave the horses, the gold, the silver, and the food, and get out of here! After speaking, he took out two halberds from his arms, and with a bang, a fierce aura rose sharply.

Liu Zhen's horses were so shocked that they took a few steps back, Liu Zhen grabbed the reins, stroked them slowly, and shouted: "Wu Na man! If you are a real man, let's gamble, if you win us, the horses, gold and silver are all yours, and we will not run. What if you lose? ”

Liu Shi was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "This strong man, but there is less use, although I don't have much here, I have a little bit, so I will give it to the strong man, how about it?" After speaking, Liu Shi asked Liu Zhen to take out 10 catties of gold and hand it over to the strong man.

Liu Zhen took it out a little reluctantly and threw it at Dian Wei.

However, Dian Wei didn't appreciate it, but said: "You kid speaks well." So leave your horse and this boy's horse, and cooked food, and run for your life! ”

Liu Zhen was furious when he heard this: "Where did the wild man come from, and he is not afraid of flashing your tongue when he says big words." I want to keep Childe's horse! I don't weigh myself! ”

At this time, Dian Wei saw that Liu Zhen was like this, but laughed: "Lao Tzu is going to weigh himself today, you just let the horse come, I don't want a penny if I lose, leave." What if you lose, leaving both of you with your horses and all your possessions? ”

When Liu Zhen heard this, he sneered at each other: "The benefits in this world are all taken up for you, you win and take away our good horses and all our property, and you pat your ass and leave if you lose." I am not afraid of the world's jokes when I say it. ”

When the strong man heard this, he said angrily: "I lost and left my head for you, how about it?" ”

Liu Zhen smiled softly, you don't want your head if you lose, our son just has one less horse servant, if you lose, you will leave our son to lead the horse, and if we lose, we will do what you say, how about it? ”

The strong man smiled: "Good! Good! Ignorant boy, I want to ask you to lead the horse for you, right? I haven't lost since I'm so old, so I'll bet with you once. Look at the halberd! ”
