Chapter 26: It's a loss

Tao Ren thought that the prince would be very willful before he came, but when he met today, he felt that the prince was still very easy to get along with, but it was a little undesirable to mix with Shi Xian.

And this Shi Xian is too eyeless, counting down in front of his son, of course, this is also Shi Xian's capital, but Tao Ren is unhappy when he looks at it.

"Prince, how about I invite you to the backyard for some wine?" Tao Ren said with great humility.

"Yes, yes, you young man has a future, Shang Shuling will accompany you here first, and Brother Tao and I will come as soon as we go, and we won't delay too long." Liu Biao said and got up and walked out directly.

Tao Ren followed, Shi Xian looked at Tao Ren with some deep meaning, but secretly said in his heart: "This kid can do it, bring the prince here today, and he will snub Lord Ben, he has a backbone!" It sounded like a compliment, but his face was embarrassed.

When Liu Biao came to the backyard and couldn't see the wine jar, he knew that things were not simple, "What can there be in this empty backyard, Tao Ren, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Tao Ren's face was surprised, and he knelt down very respectfully and said: "Prince Qiyu, who is Shi Xian's old boy, the whole world knows it, you follow him like this to mix with society, sooner or later it will be over, according to the villain, it is better to study poetry and books in the palace, wait for the opportunity, and strike first." ”

After hearing this, Liu Biao stepped forward and patted Tao Ren's shoulder with great satisfaction, "I understand what you said, but it's a pity that everything in this palace is decided by Shi Xian." ”

"If I don't curry favor with him like this, I'm afraid this country won't be mine in the future, why don't you want to kill him, but his henchmen are all over the government and the opposition, and my father trusts him a lot, how dare I go against him at will."

"The old ministers in the court, there are not many left, which one is not against him, and then silently stepped down, Kuang Heng, Feng Taiwei and other long-standing officialdom people also choose to protect themselves, as the crown prince, the title is just a prince, not hostile to it." Liu Biao said very seriously.

Tao Ren was even more surprised, "I didn't expect the prince to know the reason for this, it seems that the villain is too worried, but the prince still has to guard against the stone show." ”

"He walked from the eunuch to the position of Zhongshu Ling, it can be seen that he is by no means an idle person, and now he looks very kind, how could Xiao Wangzhi, Zhou Kan and other famous ministers not die in his hands."

After listening to this, Liu Biao also felt that Tao Ren was not simple, "You kid knows a lot, being a businessman is too condescending, why don't you come to the court to be an official?" But now it's better to run the family business, and when the prince ascended the throne, he didn't know what the big man would be like by these people. ”

"As long as the prince says a word, Tao Ren is willing to go to the soup and fight for the Han family, and he will not give up." Tao Ren said very firmly.

Liu Biao was also very moved, the ancient people were really reckless, a few words of things can work for the Han family, it is worth learning, "Okay, go back first, and leave the 50,000 stone grain." ”

"Let me tell you the truth, the grain I want to come back is going to be donated to the disaster area, and you businessmen are hoarding mountains of grain, and you are not willing to donate it, which is really sad."

When Tao Ren heard this, he felt a little guilty in his heart, "Don't worry, the prince, I don't want any of the 100,000 stone refined grain, I will give it all to the prince, and the surplus grain at home will also be taken out for disaster relief." ”

"Very good, it is the luck of the country that Dahan has a businessman like you, let's go back first, Shi Xian's old man should be suspicious in a while." Liu Biao said carefully.

Liu Biao is happy in his heart, at the time of these two sentences, the hard-hit areas of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River have finally fallen, and it seems that sometimes businessmen are indeed the warehouses of the country.

After the two returned to their seats, Liu Biao pretended to be happy, "That Shi Xian, help me take care of Tao Ren when you do business in the future, I casually borrowed 50,000 stone of grain from him when I went down just now, and this kid agreed directly." ”

"So today we don't have to give a single piece, and we can take away 300,000 stone of grain, I think how can he let the people of the royal family return things?"

"He himself was embarrassed, and finally decided that the money would be repaid by Lord Shi Xian, as long as you help the prince repay the grain, I don't want the money of the Huns."

After Shi Xian heard what Liu Biao said here, he was blinded on the spot, "Prince, we don't lack food at all, there is no need to borrow grain from merchants, I think it's better to forget it." ”

"It is a sign of his loyalty that he borrowed my food, and as a Zhongshu Ling, it means that you refuse to help me return food, do you still have this amount of money as a Zhongshu Ling?"

"In front of so many people, I think you are sincere and make me embarrassed, as the position of the three princes and nine secretaries, there is no 50,000 stone of grain, how do you be an official!" Liu Biao pretended to be angry and said.

Shi Xian immediately got up and poured a cup of warm tea for Liu Biao, "Prince, you put out the fire first, can't I still do this food?" Isn't it 50,000 stone of grain? Yes, yes. ”

"By the way, that Tao Ren, usually others borrow your things, and you should increase the price, but in the royal family, you should also be cheaper, or else, you will pay back 30,000 stones." Shi Xian said helplessly.

Without waiting for Tao Ren to speak, Liu Biao spoke first: "I said Zhongshu Ling, are you really poor money, if you don't want to pay it back, this prince won't force you, you think it's buying vegetables, bargaining, this is the reputation of the royal family, 50,000 is 50,000!" ”+

"Okay, okay, the prince says as much as he wants." Shi Xian said with some heartache.

When he went back that day, all the 400,000 stone grain was placed in the suburbs, these were the prince's things, and on the way back, Shi Xian was depressed.

"Oh, Zhongshu Ling, what's wrong with you? Didn't I just ask you to order food? Who is with whom do the two of us, if there is a real shortage of food, you will pay it back. Liu Biao said very righteously.

Shi Xian hurriedly waved his hand, "It's definitely enough, even if it's 50,000 more." ”

The only thing that made Shi Xian unhappy was that the two came to discuss the conversion of grain, and it seemed that they had earned 300,000 yuan, but the prince didn't give it at all, and kept saying that he wanted all the food, and the Huns' money was gone.

Shi Xian was also embarrassed to ask Liu Biao for food, so he felt aggrieved, and this time, he also lost 50,000 yuan, how could he pay back after deducting the little money of the Huns.

After Liu Biao left, Wulu Chongzong and Prison Liang came to Shixian's Mansion in a hurry, isn't this obvious? The prince who said good last time will take 50,000 yuan, and the rest of the grain will be divided in half.

Wulu Chongzong spoke first: "That big man, the business is negotiated, and it should be divided, right?" ”

The prison beam also nodded in the back, "Yes, we don't want more, one person can achieve two things." ”

However, Shi Xian's face next to him turned black, and he looked at the two of them with a frown.
