"Hey, Brother Mengde!"

Liu Yuan heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Cao Ying's horse galloping on the street, coming here. Liu Yuan's mind turned, and he bowed his head and said to Cai Yan: "Zhaoji, you go back to the house first, okay?" ”

"What about you? Brother Zihong. ”

Akihime blinked.

"I have something to discuss with Brother Meng De." Liu Yuan glanced at Cao Ying, who had already grabbed the reins of the horse, and said.

"Oh, well-known then." Cai Yan reluctantly let go of Liu Yuan's big hand, and said prettyly: "Brother Zihong is going back early." ”

Liu Yuan nodded, smiled gently, and asked Dian Wei to send Cai Yan home.

Cao Ying also came over at this time.

"Haha, Brother Zihongxian, you're back!"

Looking at Cao Ying's heroic face, Liu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I just arrived in the morning." As he spoke, Liu Yuan's voice changed and said, "I see that Brother Meng De is in a hurry, where is this going?" ”

"Hey," Cao Ying waved his hand and said, "The General's Mansion sent someone to summon me, do you think I can not go?" ”

Liu Yuan's face flashed with surprise, and said, "It's just right, I'm also going to visit the General's Mansion, this time it's just on the way, how about together?" ”

The expression on Cao Ying's face remained unchanged, still smiling, but he was slandering in his heart: It's just right, isn't this talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he doesn't know who is shopping with the beauty.

"Wow, let's go together."

Cao Ying stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, led the horse, side by side with Liu Yuan, and chatted.

"Brother Xian's year in Youzhou is really thrilling!"

Cao Ying sighed: "One broke Wuhuan, the other broke Xianbei, feat, feat!" ”

"Hehe," Liu Yuan shook his head and said modestly: "The soldiers use their lives, the court and the people support, if I don't win two battles, I might as well go home and farm." Besides, with Brother Mengde's intelligence, if you are replaced, you will still win the battle, right? ”

"Brother Xian looks high." Cao Ying also shook his head and smiled: "If you want to say that I want to be a county commander or something, it is more than enough, but I really want to fight on the battlefield, but I am still a little short." ”

The strong self-confidence in the humility is overflowing - even without such a great victory as you, it will not fall into the prestige of the Han Dynasty.

"That's right, Brother Xian. The poem you sent to Kang Chenggong that 'will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf' is a five-body throw to the ground that my brother admires. Cao Ying said: "Now, the scholar of the Han Dynasty, who wants to say that he doesn't know you Liu Zihong, that is, he is lonely and unheard, haha"

"Poetry trails, occasional poetry, cultivating affection, nothing worth showing off. No matter how good it is, it can't be eaten, second, it can't retreat from the enemy's army, and third, it can't calm the people, and it's useless. Liu Yuan didn't care.

"Reasonable," Cao Ying praised: "The words of the virtuous brother are thought-provoking." Cao Ying said, his face darkened, and said: "But today's scholars, few of them are down-to-earth and learn the way of governing the country, and most of them spend their days drinking and painting, chanting poems and paintings." Hehe, don't hide it from the virtuous brother, it was the same for the brother a few years ago, making people laugh. ”

The two of them traveled all the way, from all over the world, from east to west, and they talked about it wherever they wanted, and they were happy.

"Hey, it's here."

Cao Ying pointed to the wealthy family in front of him and said, "The General's Mansion has arrived." ”

The two stepped forward, gave their names, and gave the toll, and then they were ushered into the living room of the General's Mansion.

The two of them were silent, sitting quietly, probably with a cup of tea, when they heard footsteps outside the door.

"Hahaha" Before the heroic voice fell, a middle-aged man with a rather rich figure walked in outside the door. Liu Yuan looked up and saw that he had a beard and a face with Chinese characters, if he didn't have that big belly, he would be handsome and chic.

"Cao Ying (Liu Yuan), meet the general!"

The two of them bowed to the end.

"Hurry up, please." He Jin helped the two of them up with a smile, his eyes stayed on Liu Yuan for a moment, and then he said, "Two Junjie, sit." ”

"Well, General Liu Yuanben called you Zihong, how about it?"

Liu Yuan clenched his fists and said loudly: "The general is an elder, please feel free." ”

He Jin nodded and said, "Zihong, we haven't seen each other for a year, right?" Last year was also this time. At that time, Zihong was still a little childish, but now he is much more mature. He Jin sighed and said with a smile: "Zihong went north to Youzhou, and now he has made outstanding contributions. You are the captain of the Wuhuan Guard, and you are also under the account of my general's mansion, this general has a bright face, and a bright face! ”

"The general praised it." Liu Yuan said with a smile: "The general is in charge of the military power of the Han Dynasty, and Zihong is a soldier, so he is naturally under the general's account." ”

He Jin smiled with satisfaction.

"Zihong came at the right time today," He Jin said with a smile: "I summoned Meng De to come here today, just for your business." ”

Liu Yuan knew it in his heart, but his face was confused.

"My business? Please show me the general. ”

"The former Meng De said that he said from Yuan Highway, saying that Taifu Yuan Kui seems to want to play some tricks on you. General Ben was naturally indignant. You are a hero of the Han Dynasty, and you are under the account of my general's mansion, how can you be bullied? ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuan immediately cried with gratitude and thanked him.

"Although Yuan Kui's power is huge, Zihong doesn't have to worry. What is there, General Ben will bear it for you! ”

"Thank you, General, for your support! Zihong's liver and brain are smeared, and there is no way to repay it! ”

Seeing Liu Yuan's loyalty, He Jin's face blossomed, and he glanced at Cao Ying, and nodded slightly.

After Liu Yuan left, He Jin pulled Cao Ying into the study and called someone to be vigilant, and then he spoke.

"Meng De, what do you think of this Liu Zihong?" He Jin said lightly: "Can it be used by me?" ”

Cao Ying frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I don't dare to judge." I always feel that this Liu Zihong is a bit mysterious, giving people a hazy and unclear feeling. ”

"General Ben feels the same way." He Jin nodded and said, "Meng De needs to spend some time and be tempted before he can set a strategy." ”

Cao Ying shook his head and said, "I don't think I need to. If he has a grudge against Yuan Kui, it is impossible for him to fall to the family; He started his business with Zhang Rang, but I don't think he would defect to the eunuch party, because he can't afford to lose that reputation; In the end, only the general remained! ”

He Jin's eyes lit up and said, "Are you saying that he will definitely take refuge in me?" ”

"The general is wise."

Cao Ying hugged his fists and saluted.

"Good!" He Jin stood up, walked back and forth a few times, and said: "Liu Zihong is valued by His Majesty, he has an army of more than 100,000 troops, and he is on a blind date with Liu Ji, Liu Yan and other clans, and there are even great Confucians like Cai Yong for Mount Tai. Now it is even more meritorious and has great potential, which is worthy of General Ben's investment! ”

"Meng De, you should pay attention to the movements of the Yuan family, and if you have something, you can come to my general's mansion to discuss."

Cao Ying nodded, and was about to retire, when he suddenly said, "What about Xu Ziyuan?" ”

"Hmph," He Jin sneered twice and said, "Xu You, the Yuan family's dog, do you think I don't know?" Yuan Kui, an old horseman, has been monitoring my every move for a long time. ”

Cao Ying paused at his feet and said, "In this way, Ye will retire." ”

Farewell to He Jin, Cao Ying went out of He Mansion, looked up to the sky and sighed, and suddenly said to himself: "I hope He Jin is a person who can revitalize the Han Dynasty."

Liu Yuan left He Mansion and did not immediately go to Cai Mansion, but returned to his Yuyang Hou Mansion.

When I entered the study, I saw Liu Yi, Liu San, Liu Qi, and Liu Ba among them.

"Master!"

As soon as the four of them saw Liu Yuan, they immediately knelt down and made a big salute.

"Get up!" Liu Yuan frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you don't want to kneel, why are you still like this?" ”

"The master is angry." Liu Yi hurriedly said: "Today, I learned that the master arrived in Luoyang, Liu San and I were overjoyed and forgot the rules."

"So much nonsense!" Liu Yuan scolded with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it, what's the matter?" ”

"Master, a few days ago, Guo Junshi sent a message, saying that he wanted to form a dark department, Liu San and I don't know what it means, please show the master." Liu Yi said cautiously.

Liu Yuan glanced at him with slanted eyes and said, "What, have an opinion?" ”

"No, no." Liu Yi fell to his knees with a thud and said, "It's just that the number of Guo Junshi's transfers is too large, which is easy to cause the emptiness of the firm."

"What is empty and not empty," Liu Yuan frowned, and said: "Before this year, the headquarters of Zhongyuan Commercial Bank must be moved to Yuyang. Huaxia Commercial Bank also had to move secretly. In Yuyang, the comptoir doesn't need too many assassins, you know, you guys! ”

"Yes, master." Liu Yi and Liu San hurriedly responded.

Seeing that the two of them were unwilling, Liu Yuan's eyes narrowed and said, "You don't want to?" ”

Liu Yi looked at Liu San, gritted his teeth, and said: "Master, the Central Plains region is the best area for the development of commercial banks, why give up the advantages and have to move to Youzhou?" ”

"Hehehehe, because, Youzhou is my territory!"

"Don't I know the benefits of the Central Plains?" Liu Yuan said: "And I didn't give up on the Central Plains, I just shifted my focus to Youzhou." What's more, Youzhou also has huge business opportunities and development potential! ”

Seeing that the two were puzzled, Liu Yuan continued: "The business in the Central Plains region naturally cannot be abandoned, and every important place must establish a branch, and this goal will not change from the beginning to the present, until the future. And Youzhou's commercial advantage lies in foreign trade! ”

"Doing business with the Xianbei people, Wuhuan people, Goguryeo, Samhan, and Buyeo can also make a lot of money."

"And that's not the most important thing. Yuyang is connected to the sea in the south, and there is the source of wealth! ”

"Pearls, sea salt, seafood"

Liu Yuan stood up and said, "In the future, I will also establish a sea caravan and open up the Maritime Silk Road!" ”

"Sell the specialties of the Han Dynasty, such as tea, silk, porcelain, etc., to foreign countries by sea; Think about the introduction of foreign specialties to the Han Dynasty, how much benefit is there? ”

The two of them were dumbfounded.

I didn't expect the endless sea to have such benefits!

"That's just part of it. I'm also going to build a navy, build the strongest navy! Across the seas, in a foreign land! ”

Yuyang, Taishou Mansion.

"Oh, my aunt, don't follow me, okay?"

Guo Jia was carrying a wine jug, his face was full of helplessness and depression, and he never went back to chic.

Why?

But it was the woman in white beside him.

Who is she?

"Guo Junshi—"

If it is sweet and greasy, and has an exotic taste, it makes Guo Jia's pores explode all over his body, and goosebumps are rising.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Guo Jia has something important to deal with, please take care of yourself!"

Guo Jia pretended to be serious, and said righteously: "The public is mainly in trouble, you can go to Lord Chen Qun Chen." ”

After saying that, there was wind under his feet, and he disappeared with a smoke.

"Hmph" looked at Guo Jia who fled in embarrassment, the woman in white snorted a few times, and said to herself: "Or is it still the military advisor that General Park is afraid of, just like this?" ”

As she spoke, the greasy smile on the woman in white was closed, her face instantly calmed down, and she turned to leave.
