Chapter 54: Attracting Bees and Butterflies
"Liu Gongzi, today's incident is indeed the slave family and Guo's shopkeeper are wrong, and the slave family also knows that if you don't explain one or two things, I'm afraid you will still have a mustard in your heart." Zou Yu sighed, and said a little helplessly: "As for why you asked why I misunderstood you...... It'sβIt's really hard to put into words. β
"Mustard? Hehe, Mrs. said with a smile, such a trivial matter, I Liu Yi really didn't take it to heart, if Mrs. has anything difficult to say, don't say it, I, Liu Yi, am just curious and ask casually, not necessarily to break the casserole and ask in the end. β
In fact, Liu Yi already knew what it was in his heart, and the incident he encountered today is probably a bit similar to the story of the wolf, whether it is Zou Yu or the shopkeeper Guo of that or something, he should have encountered too many so-called sons and brothers to entangle the Zou family, and he was annoyed, so he reacted so fiercely and misunderstood himself.
When Zou Yu heard this, he turned his eyes to look at Liu Yi, and from Liu Yi's eyes, he seemed to feel that what Liu Yi said was true.
"Alas, it's not that the slave family is arrogant and self-conscious, and the appearance is natural, and the slave family also knows that they do have a bit of beauty, but for various reasons, they have to show their heads outside all the year round, so it is inevitable to attract bees and butterflies, and there will naturally be a lot of gossip. Therefore, the slave family must be careful in everything, and treat those sons and brothers who are pretentious and close to the slave family for some reason must not pretend to be sexual, otherwise, they will beat the snake and follow the stick, and entangle. Zou Yu explained faintly, and the words changed, staring at Liu Yi with a pool of spring eyes: "May I ask Childe, when you first saw the slave family, did you think that the slave family was a woman who was smoky and flattering, and watery flowers?" β
"Oh? What the? Smoke and flattery, water-based flowers? Liu Yi was stunned by Zou Yu's question, but being stared at by Zou Yu like this, Liu Yi really felt that her phoenix eyes were full of spring, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows seemed to inadvertently reveal all kinds of charm.
"Well, huh? This is also what the slave family calls natural appearance, just like you, young and handsome, no matter what your nature is, but when everyone looks at you for the first time, they will think that you are a merry son. Unfortunately, the slave family is also a layman who judges people by their appearance, so there is this misunderstanding. Don't you think you're also a person who can easily attract bees and butterflies? β
"Uh, haha...... Madame is really a wonderful person, a good bee to attract butterflies, just these four words can explain everything clearly, but, maybe only the two of us will understand, I don't know which of us is a bee and who is a butterfly? β
"Phew, the slave family is just a metaphor, who is with you what bees and butterflies?" Zou Yu saw Liu Yi's ambiguous pun again, and couldn't help but snort.
"Hehe, Liu Yidou dares, since you yourself understand that you are easy to attract bees and butterflies, what is the reason why you have to show up? No one should be able to force you to do that, right? A peerless beauty like you, Madam, if it were me, I would definitely take good care of my side to love, how could your husband be willing to let you be like this? Since there are so many gossips, how can your husband still bear to let you run around outside? β
Liu Yi's heart was strange, how could that Zhang Ji also be a strong person, how could he tolerate so many rumors about his wife being spread by others? Could it be that he's a guy who likes to cuckold? Don't mind if your wife is outside?
Liu Yi knew that the defense of men and women in ancient times was very strict. The atmosphere of the Han Dynasty may be a little more relaxed, but it is not as good as his wife doing things outside, and there are so many scandals that have been rumored but are still indifferent, women in ancient times, especially chaste and chaste, were passed on so much gossip, just Zou Yu thought that he was a clear person, but Zhang Ji could still tolerate those rumors? It's weird.
"Childe! You've already asked about the slave's privacy. Zou Yu's face flushed with ruddy, and he let out a strange sigh.
"Okay, then I won't ask, but, madam, you are really a strange woman, looking at today's big man, it seems that there is no woman like you, who can support a big family with her own strength, and make the grain and rice business house so large-scale, when it comes to making money The first daughter, you are the only one, Xiaosheng is really admiring and admiring Mrs." Liu Yi patted his ass and faintly revealed his heart to her by the way. ,
"Okay, okay, don't be like those swingers, what a little kid? The matter has been made clear, if you are okay, you won't say more, please go down and see if the grain and rice are ready. "Zou Yu is going to give an eviction order.
"Don't worry, I really have something to do, I should say that there are two more things to do." Leo Yi waved his hand.
"Then, if you have something to say, if you really follow the example of those prodigal sons, the slave family will not be interested in talking to you again, and please leave a little face for the slave family." Zou Yu said to Liu Yi with a serious expression.
"Well, first, I want to know how much grain and rice your Zou family grain and rice firm can supply at one time, and I want to make a long-term grain purchase contract with you."
Liu Yi knew that he was in a hurry, although this Zou family looked attractive, but her words and deeds did not look like a slut, if you want to get her, you have to slowly understand her clearly, only by knowing her heart, can you do what she likes, capture her in one fell swoop, and get the right person.
"Huh? Childe, what do you want so much grain for? When Zou Yu heard this, he was surprised a lot, this guy was so big that he actually wanted all his food?
"This lady doesn't need to know, as long as you have food, I want it, and the price is easy to say." Lewis said generously.
Since Liu Yi wants to recruit troops and buy horses, there is naturally not enough food. Moreover, not only the soldiers and horses want food and grass, but also the people also need food, and it is not so simple to develop a base, and now we must first pave the road and solve the biggest problem of food. As for the amount of money, Liu Yi didn't care too much, the 200,000 taels on hand were only temporary, and he had to find a way to get more money and silver now, and when the time came, 200,000 taels might just be a small amount.
Of course, Liu Yi also understands better that even if there is more money, it is useless, the key is to exchange money for what he wants. Food is the most important material for Liu Yi's future development, and it must be stored now, so that even if you have money, you can't buy food.
"I'm afraid I can't give it all to you, let's not talk about whether you have so much money to buy it. You must know that when we are in the rice and grain business, we must first ensure that our major stores have grain and rice for sale, otherwise, there will be no need to open shops. Zou Yu shook his head and said: "This year, such a big thing has happened, there is chaos everywhere, the grain routes on the eastern and southern lines are almost broken, and most of the local people have lost their harvest, and there is no surplus food." Now we are selling all the grain we have stored in recent years, if you really want it...... My Zou family can only give you hundreds of thousands of catties. β
"Just a few hundred thousand catties?"
"Well, there's really only so much to pull out. If they are all given to you, then our Zou family's business will not have to be done, right? β
"It's okay, hundreds of thousands of catties are hundreds of thousands of catties, I want it."
Liu Yi couldn't imagine that the Zou family could only take out such a little, hundreds of thousands of catties sounded like a lot, but as soon as he counted it, he knew that this bit of food was far from enough. A few hundred people need 20,000 catties of grain a month, but what about a few thousand people? If you want 200,000 or hundreds of thousands of catties of grain, you can only eat 10,000 people for a month or two.
In Liu Yi's plan, he wanted to develop a base, so in addition to having one or two thousand troops, a base should also have a large number of people, so this bit of food was not enough, and he had to find another way.
β¦β¦
After reaching a verbal agreement with Zou Yu, Liu Yi said the second thing: "Hehe, the second thing is actually a matter of the two of us." β
"It's here again, I know you're not at ease, if it's that kind of bastard again, don't say it."
Zou Yu's heart was crystal clear, and when he saw the lewdness on Liu Yi's face. With a smiling smile, you know what this guy wants to say.
