It is the spring of March, the season when the warbler flies and the grass grows, not only the fields are busy, but also the big city well, and it also ushers in the beginning of the prosperous year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xinzheng, this ancient city, the former Zhengdu, and now the Handu, its commercial prosperity is no less than that of Luoyang, and it is directly chasing Anyi and Linzi. At this time, on the most prosperous South Street in the city, a courtyard was dressed in red and colored in front of it, and the guests gathered, and it was very lively, and the children in the market were running here, singing in a row while walking.
"There is a palace in the south, a city in the north, and there are merchants in the city, and new shops are opened. Ten miles of wine, the day into the gold, Mo Xue Tao Zhu, why not disperse? ”
In the face of a large number of children rushing forward, and in the face of a pair of small hands stretched out, Liu Wanwan, who was standing at the door, couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and couldn't stop shouting, "It's all there, it's all there, don't worry." But he turned his head and ordered, "Liu Qiu, take some more money, or two yuan per person." ”
After sending away a group of children begging for rewards, Liu Million piled up a tired smile on his face and greeted an important guest. I have been doing business in Xinzheng for nearly half a year, and with the technical support of the king, how can a person who is as shrewd as Liu Million not expand his business? As a result, the second, and very large, liquor store opened its doors on the most prosperous South Street in Xinzheng.
The guests who came to congratulate today are either the little heads of this street, or the sons and nobles who love Liu's wine, or some old customers in the past. After welcoming batch after batch of guests, seeing that there were no more guests coming, Liu Million turned his head and ordered, "Uncle Ding, hurry up and arrange for the food and wine, on the first day of opening today, don't neglect the guests!" ”
"Yes, Lord!" A deep middle-aged male voice sounded. This Uncle Ding is naturally not Liu Million's uncle, but someone originally called him uncle.
put away his tired smile, and was about to turn around and enter, when he suddenly heard laughter behind him, "Liu Jia's family, why don't you welcome so-and-so?" ”
Liu Million turned his head to see that it was an important guest, and he was busy with a smile on his face, "Doctor Shen, look at what you said, I'm not thinking about Dr. Shen's busy business on weekdays, my small shop is open, how can I let Dr. Shen take it to heart." But I really didn't expect Dr. Shen to come in person, the small shop is honored! ”
"Hehe, I said that so-and-so is not a doctor, but you have to call it that. It happens that the court meeting has not yet dispersed today, but I am afraid that it will be a long time, and a certain will come. Smiling, the middle-aged man handed over a mention of jerky, "No, the congratulatory gift is here!" ”
Liu Million hurriedly smiled and took it, "I'm afraid that Dr. Shen will be more than a doctor in the future, you are here in person, so why do you need a congratulatory gift?" Come, hurry up inside, a few sons have already sat down. ”
This Shen Dafu is the famous Shen Bu Harm, as a person of later generations, how Zhou Bian didn't know that Shen Bu Harm is almost the same as Shang Ying, naturally he had already asked Liu's uncle and nephew to pay attention to this person, fortunately this person is good at wine, after several twists and turns, he finally succeeded in attracting this person to the store, coupled with Liu's uncle and nephew's song to welcome, Shen Bu Hao soon became a frequent customer in the store. Although I don't know where Zheng Guo's lowly ministers stand out, Liu's uncle and nephew still faithfully carried out the king's orders.
While leading Shen Buharm, Liu Million cautiously tentatively said, "Alas, I don't know why those adults in the court are so busy, a court meeting has been held until now, and there is no rest at noon." ”
Shen Buxian smiled slightly, and said casually, "Naturally, it is a military matter, and the prince is afraid that he will have thoughts again." ”
"But I don't know where your mind is?" Liu Million asked nervously.
Shen Bu harmed, but his footsteps stopped, "Where is your mind going, what does it have to do with you?" ”
Hearing that Shen Buxiao's tone changed, Liu Million still had a smiling face, "We are a businessman's family, what we are chasing is profit, don't say that the gentleman is in mind, he is a person in the court like Dr. Shen, and a random sentence can affect the market." If the gentleman's mind is to the south, the small shop will be the same as usual, if the gentleman's mind is to the north, the small shop will prepare more staple food, if the gentleman's mind is to the east, the small shop will prepare more wine, like this, the small shop will not lose money after all. ”
"It is said that there is no more shrewd than Jia Ren, and that's true." Shen Bu harmed, but smiled. "Then what if none of the three you said are in your mind? So what will happen to you? ”
Liu Million was stunned, "Is it the west?" In the small view, isn't it the same to go west and go north? ”
Shen Buxian shook his head, and then sighed again, "I don't know what you're thinking. Lead the way in front of the head, the wine is important, but don't delay the time. ”
Seeing that Shen Buxian's face was really tight, Liu Million didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly introduced it into a small room, where several noble children were talking, only to see that Shen Buxian, a person close to the prince, was brought in, and hurriedly shouted, and after some respectful and pushing, Shen Buxian sat down. And Liu Million was busy trotting to arrange the meal, for fear of neglecting the highest table.
Liu Qiu, who has been practicing for a long time, focuses on taking care of the other table, although the people sitting there are not the children of the nobles, but they are the stewards and servants in charge of this street, and they are not afraid of officials, so they should not be offended.
The uncle and nephew were busy for several hours, and from the opening in the morning to the end of the evening, they were almost exhausted and paralyzed. After closing, Liu Qiu, who was just about to rest, was called into the room by Liu Million, "Liu Qiu, what the master asked us to do, we are very clear, today I went to test, but Shen Bu did not harm but revealed some information, you help me analyze and analyze." ”
As soon as he heard this, Liu Qiu immediately cheered up, but after listening to Liu Million explain the incident and the conversation in detail, Liu Qiu was puzzled, "Uncle, why do we have to buy more wine when the Han army goes east, and more grain when we go west and north?" ”
"Can't you think of that? In the east is the Song State and the Wei State, the Korean army will definitely win a big victory, and the sergeants will buy more wine and drink when they come back, while the west and north are the Wei State, and the Korean army will be defeated, but I am afraid that the food in the country will be tight, so we must prepare more food. As for the south is the state of Chu, although the state of Chu is large, the center of gravity of its troops has not been in the north, but in the east of the Yue country and the west of Bashu, so the Korean army is evenly matched in the south, at most it will come back after a few battles, and it will not have the slightest impact on the business of my small shop. Although Liu Qiu was a little moved, he didn't expect it, but Liu Million still patiently explained.
"Oh, I see, I didn't think about it in the past, but my uncle is smart, thank you uncle for teaching me!" Liu Qiu sighed and said.
"Well said, well said. Now that you are in business, you can pay more attention to business in the future. ”
"But listening to the meaning of Shen is harmless, it seems that the direction of Han Hou's heart is not in the four directions of southeast, south, northwest, so where is it? Maybe Han Hou didn't want to send troops at all, so why did they have frequent court meetings these days? Liu Qiu wondered.
"If you want to use troops, it's not east, west, north and south, isn't it?" Liu Million's voice couldn't help but be a little higher, and he opened his mouth in surprise.
"Luoyang? Luoyang is surrounded by South Korea on all sides, and it is indeed not in any direction of South Korea's east, west, north and south. Liu Qiu whispered what Liu Million didn't say.
"This matter is important, quickly, quickly write to the king!" Liu Million was anxious and said the word king.
"Don't worry, now that the gate of Handu has been sealed, even if you want to get out of the city, you have to wait until tomorrow morning. Besides, although Shen Bu is a member of the Son of Heaven, there may be a mistake in the news, we only need to report what we heard today to the master, and the master will judge. Liu Qiu was still more stable.
"That's right. However, we still need to pay attention to the dynamics of the Korean army and the preparation of grain and grass, we also have other sources in this Korean capital, but it is late today, and we can only wait for tomorrow. You write a letter first, and I will find someone to send it early tomorrow morning, and I will go and ask people to pay attention to the dynamics of the Korean capital, how about it? Liu Million also calmed down.
"Okay, just uncle!"
And when Liu's uncle and nephew were discussing in the secret room, in the small hall of a high court in Xinzheng, the capital of Handu, there was also a flickering candlelight, and sitting opposite each other were Han Gongziwu, who was known as the prince in the market, and his disciple Shen Buxian.
"Doctor Shen, today's court meeting has been held for so long, and the matter of Luoyang is still discussed, but I didn't think about it, but after all, the big thing was given. Today's result is ....." Gongzi Wu said a little tiredly.
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Shen Buxian, "Childe, let's not talk about the result first, let's talk about how the court will fight, and talk about the key points." ”
was interrupted by the doorman, but Gongzi Wu was not displeased at all, "Okay, then I'll talk about it briefly." Today's court will talk about whether to attack Luoyang, Gongzi Zhao is mainly attacking Luoyang, after all, it is still said that Luoyang's geographical location is important, and the royal family has iron smelting and wine making recipes in their hands, but Han Chao thought that the legend in the market that the royal family could smelt iron was not enough to believe, and opposed rash expeditions with insufficient national strength. The two had endless disputes, but I listened to what Dr. Shen said, and insisted on opposing it, saying that the royal family is the most important in the world and should not be easily offended. ”
"Hmm. Go on. Shen Buxi touched his beard, Childe can listen to himself, he is still quite complacent.
"Father Jun was originally a little partial to not sending troops, but Gongzizhao couldn't insist, but he ordered his subordinates to carry one person to the palace, but it was the lame man I told Dr. Shen about, the beggar I saw in Luoyang who stopped my frame."
"It turned out to be him, and he actually took Han Zhao? It seems that Han Zhao must have put a lot of effort into Luoyang. Could it be that Han Zhao really found something? Shen didn't hurt his eyes.
"It's really him, the lame man who was driven away by me, was actually carried up by Han Zhao, it's really unexpected. But think about it, that cripple really should still have something, otherwise he wouldn't have found me when he was in Luoyang. didn't think about it, but let Han Zhao find it. Gongzi Wu sighed.
"How's this guy doing?" Shen Buxian was also a little interested.
"I didn't think that this person was a deserter from the Zhou royal family, well, it can't be regarded as a deserter, he was punished for stealing the property of a general in Luoyang, and he was crippled by the royal execution, and then the royal family abandoned it, so he crawled in the market and begged for a living. This person has a grudge against the royal family, and he didn't find it last time he wanted to find his son, but he didn't think about it, but he let Han Zhao find it, so he was brought back by Han Zhao, carried him up to the court, and said a bunch of bad things about the royal family, which was unbearable. ”
"This person was originally a soldier of the royal family, and it is really not advisable to be an enemy of the royal family after being punished and fleeing." Shen squinted and shook his head.
"Hehe, Doctor Shen, this person is not a citizen of Wanggi, but a homeless person recruited by the royal family's doctor Bai Gyu in the name of doing business, how can he be faithful. Therefore, although the man said it was grief, all the attendants in the palace shook their heads. Originally, no one listened to him, and the monarch's father even began to blame Han Zhao a little, but the guy took out a spear tip from his arms, and everyone in the hall was stunned except for Han Zhao. ”
"A spear tip, could it be the rumored sharp weapon forged by the royal family, the iron spear tip?" Shen Buxian opened his eyes that had been squinting slightly, and his eyes lit up.
