After arranging the defense of Zhu'a and the construction of Gushan Pass, Liu Cun sent someone to send the recommendation of Lieutenant Qin Yi to take over as the lieutenant of Jinan to Luoyang, and then took Qin Yi to the palace of Liu Kang, the king of Jinan, to resign, and by the way, he sent a box of "Langya Tribute Wine" specially transferred from Xiahe City, as well as a set of exquisite celadon wine utensils from the hands of his son Liu Zhen.

Liu Kang, the king of Jinan, who has the treatment of princes and kings but does not have any power, has turned all his energy to the pursuit of luxury and enjoyment, and likes to gather literati and scholars from all over the world to raise a glass and chant poems, he writes a master-level cursive, which is respected by famous people all over the world, and he pays attention to a face, so he is very happy to see Liu Cun respect himself so much, I heard that Liu Cun is going to rush back to Linzi, how to put wine for Liu Cun to see him off.

Liu Cun has a large amount of wine, the wine and character are as well-known, the conversation is very humble, and occasionally spit out a new word or an occasional good sentence during the banquet, which makes Liu Kangxi, who likes to dance and write, feel overwhelmed, and after a wine banquet, the guests and hosts laugh happily constantly.

In the end, Liu Kang, who was walking but full of interest, insisted on sending Liu Cun out of the door and getting on the horse, and when he parted, he whispered to Liu Cun with drunken eyes:

"Brother Xian, I'm afraid you don't know, the royal brother's family in Luoyang, is not at ease with our brothers scattered all over the Han Dynasty, for decades for various reasons, cut off our princes and kings one by one, the foolish brother is called the King of Jinan, and now there is only the income of the city of Dongpingling and a few acres of fields outside the city, but the widow is satisfied, he doesn't ask for anything, he usually likes to drink and have fun!"

"It's not like you, Brother Xian, although you haven't been accepted by the royal sect. But he is already in a high position in the history of a state, with the martial arts of a virtuous brother. It is not difficult for him to become a marquis and a king in the future, and there is no need to learn from us brothers in the clan who are inactive and waiting for death. However, I hope that Brother Xian will have nothing to do in the future, and he will be close to him, and he will be in a good mood with you, haha! ”

Liu Cun immediately thanked him: "Thanks to your love, Liu Cun is grateful!" If you have any orders in the future, even if you say it bluntly, as long as Liu Cun can do it, he will go all out. ”

"Okay, okay, haha!"

Liu Kang, who seemed to be drunk but not drunk, clenched Liu Cun's hand again. Finally said the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "Brother Xian, Brother Fool knows that you are the sixth generation grandson of King Dongping, according to the generation, you have to call me Brother Wang, but you are quite different from us princes and kings, you are different from all the people in the world, you are the most affectionate person, you really love and protect the people under your rule, and sincerely respect our brothers and sisters of the royal family in name only......"

"The widow knows. You want to implement the new policy that you quietly implemented in Langya in Qingzhou, display your ambitions, do something that your predecessors wanted to do but could not do, and find a correct path to revive our Han country. But the relationship between all aspects of Qingzhou is complicated, and the major families are intertwined, which makes you worry. It's hard to make a decision for a long time, right? ”

"Please rest assured, brother. The wind and rain of the past few decades have seen through it, and the foolish brother has seen through it, and he has no desires. Support you! Brother Fool in other places can't do anything, only in Jinan Country is still a little famous, if Zijian wants to do something in Jinan Country in the future, just let it go, just leave a way to live for a down-and-out gate valve like Brother Foolish, haha! ”

Liu Cun was in a particularly complicated mood, staring into Liu Kang's eyes and asking in a low voice, "Why does my brother believe in Liu Cun so much?" ”

Liu Kang lazily raised his hand and pointed to the southeast: "Brother Wang Liu Xi often writes from Kaiyang to greet him, he is the closest person to the foolish brother among all the divided brothers in the world, the foolish brother believes in him, and naturally believes in the virtuous brother!" ”

"Let's tell Brother Xian another secret, at the end of last year, Brother Liu Xi received the secret envoy sent by Luoyang, and quietly gathered people to verify the three generations of Brother Xian's ancestors, after more than half a year of visits and verification, interrogated as many as six princes and kings, and finally quietly dug up the grave of my unlucky uncle, that is, your father, obtained a lot of evidence and funeral tokens, and confirmed the genealogy of the Dongping Palace, and finally confirmed the royal identity of Brother Xian."

"The reason why I haven't seen any movement in Luoyang so far, the foolish brother can't guess what the reason is, maybe it's because he doesn't want to make another prince king, haha!"

"Brother Fool drank more today than ever, and it made people sleepy at the time of the handover of autumn and winter, so I won't send you, and don't send the widow in, you are too real, we don't need to pay attention to so much courtesy in the future, so be busy with your go!"

Liu Cungong bowed respectfully, and it was not until Liu Kang's swaying figure entered the gate that he raised his head with a heavy heart, told Qin Yi, and then turned over and went straight to the outside of the city, and met with Gongsun Pei, who had been waiting for a long time, ten miles east of the city.

Liu Cun, who was apprehensive, stopped riding a horse, got into Gongsun Pei's wide and comfortable four-wheeled carriage, and told Gongsun Pei about the before and after of his resignation to Liu Kang, as well as the uneasiness in his heart.

Gongsun Pei pondered for a long time, raised his hand and congratulated Liu Cun: "Congratulations to the lord, the big thing has been done!" At least one city and ten counties in Jinan no longer need the lord to hurt his nerves, and his subordinates suggested: stop the upcoming Jinan suppression plan and change the plan for the establishment of money banks implemented in Jinan. ”

"You might as well refer to the cooperation method we have implemented with the Mi family in Xuzhou, send Han Zirou, who is in charge of finance and taxation, to come to the door in person, unite with Liu Kang, the king of Jinan, and convene all the patriarchs of the family of Jinan to cooperate openly and honestly on the matter of opening a money bank in one city and ten counties in Jinan, and do it more generously.

"If possible, you may wish to announce the Jinan national industrial and commercial development plan formulated by the lord, pull in several of the strongest local family gate valves, jointly invest and operate together, and vigorously build three major industries of textile, smelting and land transportation in Jinan, and even in terms of huge profits in maritime trade, but also give Jinan a chance to participate in the family, more than a dozen family valves in Jinan are inherited for hundreds of years, each family has countless wealth, let them join in, not only can make up for the lack of capital investment in the lord, It can also promote the rapid development of all walks of life. ”

"With common interests, the lord in Jinan to implement the new policy can achieve twice the result with half the effort, once the population and wealth occupy Qingzhou accounted for three percent of the Jinan, and then unite Jiaohe to stabilize Linzi, the entire Qingzhou will fall steadily into the control of the lord."

Liu Cun immediately understood Gongsun Pei's good intentions, nodded and fell into deep thought, and after half an hour, a bolder plan slowly appeared in his mind. (To be continued......)
