The royal mansion of Huai County.

A lamp is like a bean, the air in the study is a little dignified, Wang Xian is holding a book in his hand and is in a daze, and Chang Lin, who is old, is shrunk in his sleeves with his hands in the shadows that are difficult to reach by candlelight.

"Flutter~"

The twist of the mutton oil lamp suddenly made a soft sound, Wang Xian woke up from his daze, put down the book, rubbed his temples and asked with a tired face: "Uncle Chang, how much liquidity is there in the house?" ”

Chang Lin sighed, shook his head and said, "Back to the head of the family, there is no liquidity in the mansion. All our funds were used to buy food, and now they are all hoarded in various stores. ”

"How so?" Wang Xian frowned, turned his head to look at Chang Lin and said in a deep voice: "Haven't all the funds of each store been handed over to the treasury?" It's just that he bought grain from the surrounding counties, how can he use up the working capital in the prefecture? ”

"Has the head of the house forgotten the handicap in the East Market?" Chang Lin sighed and said, "Wang San bought a part of the funds in the treasury to bet on your orders." ”

"This...."Wang Xian's eyebrows condensed into Sichuan characters, he suddenly remembered that the night of the banquet for the representatives of the Hanoi family, he did order Wang San to buy a lot of bets, thinking of this, but he secretly regretted in his heart, he should not use the money for such a meaningless thing, but he did not expect that the palace could fall into such a field today.

Now all the working capital has become the hoarding of goods in various stores, and the Taiyuan Wang family suddenly sent people to collect the accounts, it is really a house leak and even rainy, and now the Zhao family, the Xu family and other families can no longer hold on.

"Uncle Chang, how are the goods coming out now?"

"Alas, all our goods are hoarded in warehouses, and not a single grain of grain has been sold." Chang Lin said truthfully, thought for a while, and then continued: "The master of the family, according to the old slave, no matter what means His Royal Highness King Hongnong used to get the grain, cloth, and charcoal, it is enough to show the strong financial resources. ”

"If he is allowed to do this, our Wang family will have to be dragged down. Not only that, even the Zhao family and the Xu family can't get rid of it, and when the time comes, the two families will definitely be angry with my Wang family, and it will be too late. ”

"Wait."

Wang Xian was unwilling, the price of grain in Huai County was raised by him, in order to sanction Liu Wei, he spent twice the price to buy out the grain in the surrounding places, but I don't know why, in the blink of an eye, there was a large amount of low-cost grain in Huai County and the surrounding counties, and when he wanted to buy it, he found that the funds had been exhausted.

Now the important thing is to sell at a low price, this is a positive one, but it is a loss of four times the price, even if the Wang family is rich, they can't stand such a loser.

。。。。。。

Taishou Mansion, backyard.

Liu Wei was moving the various birds he had just bought to the open space in the backyard, and then looked at the chickens, ducks, geese and colorful pheasants in the cage, and his cheeks couldn't help twitching.

He is going to train birds to pass on information, what is the use of these chickens, ducks, and geese?

"Alright, don't move." Liu Wei stopped the subordinates from carrying them, looked at the subordinates' faces and shook their heads: "What I want is birds, not poultry." It's the kind of bird that flies high and fast. Birds such as eagles. Do you understand? ”

"Clearly, these little birds are ready." The servant smiled flatteringly and said: "Your Highness only said that you want birds, and the villain doesn't know what to do, so there are more types of preparations." But I didn't expect His Highness to prepare to boil the eagle for hunting. ”

"Uh~"

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, looked at the subordinate who thought he had guessed the right expression, shook his head and smiled faintly: "Lone is not for hunting, Lone not only wants birds of prey like eagles, but also needs animals such as swifts and sparrows, in short, as long as they fly high or fast, they will be found by Lone." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

The subordinates nodded in response, while directing everyone to carry in the cage where the eagle was kept.

Liu Wei remembered that it was said in a book that after thousands of years of evolution, the species of later generations are ultimately different from those of thousands of years ago.

Looking at the eagle in front of him, I have to say that this is indeed the case, the eagle of this era may be more powerful and majestic because there is no natural enemy of human perverted weapons, a pair of eagle eyes are sharp and sharp, even if they are locked in a cage, they are already stubbornly holding their heads high.

A pair of sharp claws seem to be able to break gold and gravel, and if the strong wings are spread, it must be a thousand miles of sky, this eagle as a whole is more majestic than the eagle of later generations, the momentum is more ferocious, sharp eyes look at you, as if the eagle is staring at the water, even if the fish spits out a small blister, it will attack with lightning speed without hurrying to cover the ears.

"Good!"

Liu Wei looked at the eagle with satisfaction, and at the same time continued to use the [domestication] skill, but unfortunately, just like the last time he captured Wangcai, the sound of failure reminded him again and again.

"Your Highness."

Just as Liu Wei was tirelessly domesticating the eagle, a loud voice came, and he suddenly looked back, but it was Wang Kuang who was dressed in military uniform walking over quickly.

"Your Highness, the Sima family has sent a letter, and the Taiyuan Wang family and the Zhongshan Zhen family have already sent someone to Wang Xian." Wang Kuangxing said excitedly: "Shouldn't we do it?" ”

"Do it?" Liu Wei waved his hand, asked his subordinates to carry the eagle cage down, turned to Wang Kuang and said, "Haven't we already done it?" ”

Wang Kuang shook his head and said in a condensed voice: "The last general said that we should send troops to Wang's house and arrest Wang Xian." The Wang family has raised a group of dead soldiers, and if the trapped beasts make a mess, it will inevitably cause a lot of casualties to the people of Huai County. ”

"There are still dead soldiers in the Wang family?"

Liu Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, this is not good news, although Wang Xian can be called the first family in Huai County, he is only a medium family in Hanoi County, if you look at the entire Han Dynasty, it is not even a nomination at all, such a family is raising dead soldiers, so how many dead soldiers should be raised by the Yuan family, the Yang family, and such big families?

However, Liu Wei still shook his head, the most important thing for him at present is reputation, and where does that reputation come from? Of course, it is the family Qingliu word of mouth, you don't see that Cao Cao in history controls the huge Cao Wei group, and he has endured Kong Rong and other Qingliu again and again, because the reputation and public opinion are in the hands of these people.

Later, Cao Cao killed the famous scholar Bian Rang at that time, and immediately someone rebelled under the rule, as Cao Cao at that time did not dare to slaughter the scholar clan easily, not to mention that Liu Wei now has only one empty name of the Han Hongnong King.

Once the shot is not clean, his reputation will be completely ruined, and it is really not worth it for a mere Wang Xian. But he couldn't let it go, and suddenly his heart moved, and he thought of Wangcai's ability to dig the soil, and a smile appeared on his face.
