"We can't swallow all the grain and grass we got from Liu Yan and Liu Biao, we still have to take out some more or less! You can't take the lead and take advantage of yourself, otherwise it will cause public outrage! ", Xi Zhicai touched the beard on his chin and said; Nature! We'll just take half of it and that's enough! Maybe I'll be able to stay a little longer when I come back! Li Kai said with a smile: "Take one step at a time, we just need to judge the situation now, and the camera can act!" Don't be in the limelight, be sure to keep a low profile! There is a saying - low-key is the most awesome show-off! ”

"That filial piety? What is? Li Kai speaks very funny, and occasionally pops up a few new terms, Young Master Yuan likes to listen to these new terms, for example, scolding others for being stupid, he can now scold others for being brainless, for example, Young Master Yuan is very happy about this, after scolding others, others still don't know what's going on, and how happy it is in his heart!

In the face of Yuan Shu's inquiry, Li made a difficulty, and he didn't seem to be able to explain it! "Well, that's how it should be explained, right? Awesome means very powerful! Right! That's what it means! Ha ha! ”

"Then do you think I'm awesome?" , Young Master Yuan's eyes lit up, and he asked casually, Li Mouren could only nod thoughtfully: "It's good to be more low-key!" ”

"My lord! There was a caravan from outside the city, carrying thousands of horses, and he said that he had sent horses to the lord! The guard ran over to report, and Yuan Shu clapped his hands: "Okay! See how the gift my good brother sent me was like! ”

After all, Yuan Shao has now received Yuan Shu's promise, the promise is the promise, and Yuan Shu's fulfillment is still behind, which means that Yuan Shao will ship the goods first, and Yuan will pay after the operation, so his goods naturally can't be bad Yuan Shao still understands this; Yuan Shao is in Bohai County, and has connections with foreign races living in Yuyang County, Youzhou, such as Xianbei and Wuhuan, these people also understand Yuan Shao's energy and have established a good relationship with him; With this relationship, Yuan Shao could get war horses from them that were difficult to obtain in the Central Plains by paying money or selling some cloth and iron tools, especially after Dong Zhuo blocked the road to the Central Plains from Xiliang and Bingzhou, the Youzhou area became the main export place of war horses; Yuan Shu approached the group of horses with great interest, broke the mouth of a horse and looked at it, and casually asked a middle-aged man beside him: "The tooth age is not very old, is this the case with all war horses?" ”

The middle-aged man bowed down and replied: "If you go back to Lord Taishou, you are all good horses in the right year!" These are all ordered by Lord Yuan personally, no horse is an inferior horse, if you cut it down, I can do it! I also have a handwritten letter from Lord Yuan for you! ”

There is no research on the war horse Li Kai, what he mainly pays attention to is this middle-aged man, or this caravan of horse sellers, under the banner of "Zhen", Zhen, one of the three most famous caravans in the world!

In addition to Xuzhou's Mi family, Chen Liu's Wei family may not be comparable to others, even if it has the same name, Chen Liu's Wei family is much inferior, Xuzhou's Mi family has rarely done business in the past two years, only Zhen's is the most active, and the strength is also the strongest, that is to say, they are now the most powerful caravan in the world!

"What's your name?" , Li Kai walked to the middle-aged man's side: "Hebei Zhen's name is well deserved!" Look at the guards formed by your caravan also have 3,000 people, well-armed and well-trained, which shows that the strength is quite good! ”

"In Xia Zhenyuan! It's Zhen's caravan leader! Dare to ask adults, but Mr. Li Kai and Li Xiaoxian? ", The middle-aged man is of medium stature, his skin is very dark, and his appearance is very ordinary, but he smiled with white teeth, and almost blinded Li's dog eyes;" Oh? Do you still know me? Li Kai's eyes rolled, but his mouth was very surprised: "Yuan Gong!" I seem to be famous! ”

"You're a celebrity now, too! As early as last year, your poems were transmitted to Luoyang, and Kong Ling and others also praised you, don't you know? Yuan Shu said with a smile, his subordinates are famous, and he is the boss, doesn't he have a light on his face!

"I see! Brother Kong Ling hahaha! It's fucking amazing! Li laughed unscrupulously, Kong Ling was deceived by him very miserably, but he didn't expect that Brother Kong was still remembering his good and helping him brag; Zhen Yuan didn't understand what Li Kai was saying, but he also knew that he was powerful, their Zhen family is a wealthy businessman in the world, and today's achievements are directly linked to their vision, if they only know how to accumulate wealth and don't know how to protect themselves, it is estimated that they would have been cleaned up a long time ago; Therefore, they broadcast good names, and they have helped countless victims in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and they have gained a reputation among the common people for being benevolent, which is not enough, they have also funded many people, or they are engaged in diversification; In the past, Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, and Yanzhou Liu Dai were all their backers, of course, their family has now leaned most of their focus to Yuan Shao, and the current situation in the world is that a blind man knows that he is going to mess up, and their Zhen family naturally understands, and their minds are active; The fourth generation and three princes of the Yuan family, protégés and former officials are all over the world, and they have a great reputation foundation and network foundation, these are the rising capitals, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are the twin stars of the contemporary Yuan family, Zhen Yuan also came with another idea this time, that is, to investigate Yuan Shu; Eggs can't be put in a basket, this is a rough truth that merchants have understood since ancient times, although Yuan Shao is terrible, but how do you know that he did not have the day when the boat capsized in the gutter? Then entrusting his entire fortune and surname to him is not enough insurance; "Zhen Zhuangshi, well, let's call it that! It's been a great deal all the way! As for this gift, we will accept it, and tell your caravan to go into the city and rest for a while! Li Kai pulled the corner of Yuan Shu's clothes, and Yuan Shu opened his mouth to invite; The corners of his mouth curled up when he saw Li Kai's small action, and he secretly admired in his heart, he is really a smart person, and he really doesn't want to waste the resources he can use, and it seems that it will be difficult for Zhen to escape without some blood!

Zhen Yuan was flattered, and said that although the merchants were rich, they were not even as good as those poor peasants with innocent backgrounds, because of the imprisonment of Confucianism to them, they have been saying that merchants value profits, and forgetting profits is the source of cholera, so every generation of kings does not like merchants; "Zhen is a big businessman in Hebei, if you want to build a career in troubled times, the most important thing may not be money, but without money, you can't buy grain and grass, reward soldiers, these are all things that need money! Treat this guy well, and maybe there will be a windfall! While walking, Li Kai whispered to Young Master Yuan; Yuan Shu's eyes rolled and he smiled: "Hey! The descendants of the dignified descendants of the fourth generation and the third prince actually want to make a businessman, and their hearts are not very happy! ”

"Face doesn't matter!" , Xi Zhicai interjected: "The important thing is to be able to exchange face for capital!" He himself does not have a good impression of the Han Dynasty, so he is also a person who intentionally or unintentionally instigates Yuan Shu to go to the road of heroism; That's right, most of Xi Zhicai's sad voice is due to the Han Dynasty, and now that he has the opportunity, it is impossible for him to have the idea of revenge against society in his heart; "Jingle bell", in a crisp and pleasant sound, a carriage staggered over, Zhen Yuan's face smiled even brighter, and the person sitting in the car was probably the biggest purpose of his visit!

The head of the Zhen family, Shang Cai Ling Zhen Yi hung up not long ago, and the helmsman of the family became a woman - Zhang, that is, Zhen Yi's wife, the heirs are very young, but the daughters are becoming more and more slim, which has also become the capital of the Zhen family now; Zhen Yuan is a distant relative of the Zhen family, because he is very capable of going south and north and has made a lot of meritorious achievements, and has won the trust of the Zhen family, so now many things in the Zhen family are handled by him, and this time his biggest task is to find a way to sell the people in the carriage!

Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, is eighteen years old, but her health has not been very good, a bit like the feeling of sick Xi Shi, the carriage slowly stopped, the curtain opened, a Qianqianyu hand stretched out, the groom put down a stepping couch, the woman slowly came down, came to a thousand blessings, and smiled sweetly; A pair of willow eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, a very fair-skinned beauty, is a little sickly, Li Mouren looked at it a few times and didn't look at it again, obviously lacking interest, he hasn't seen the habit of walking without seeing a beauty; Yuan Shu glanced at it a few times, and then glanced at Li Mouren a few times, his eyes rolled, and he coughed twice: "Who is this woman?" ”

"This is Zhen's eldest daughter, Zhen Jiang is also! I heard that Lord Yuan was famous and admired him very much, so", Zhen Yuan said very vaguely, but the meaning was self-evident, Yuan Shu pursed his lips and continued to walk towards the city; Young Master Yuan doesn't know how to learn or know, and the only thing he is more proficient in may be a topic that he has been thinking about for a long time - how to win people over! He learned this subject very well, and he was the only thing he could get his hands on, so the first thing he thought about after seeing Zhen Jiang now was not to possess her; Li is twenty years old and unmarried, this matter has been full of turmoil because of the rumors a few days ago, and there are different opinions, even his eldest brother Liu Fatzi also asked intentionally or unintentionally, planning to win over Li, who called Li is now also a piece of fragrant gluttony; A merchant woman married her to a certain person as a wife, this Yuan Shu would not agree to it anyway, no matter how bad it is, she has to marry a daughter of a family, and it is still good to be a concubine for him! Yuan Shu walked while thinking, occasionally glancing at Li Kai, his smile was a little weird; Zhen Yuan was worried when he followed behind, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for being stupid, with the golden signboard of the Yuan family of the third prince of the fourth world, can you marry a merchant woman? Besides, you haven't grown to that level of calamity, and it's not worth it; While secretly screaming that it was over, he was thinking about how to climb Yuan Shu's thigh and lay a solid foundation for the future of the Zhen family. On Yuan Shu's mansion, when Sun Jian was there, there was a wine banquet every day, but unfortunately, Sun Wentai, the fierce general, went to Xiangyang two days ago, and he was still rushing back, and the Yuan Shu mansion, which had been deserted for a few days, was lively again, but the level of the people entertained this time was obviously not enough, so that Brother Zhicai was not interested, in his opinion, having a certain person was enough to cripple Zhen Yuan; "Zhen Zhuangshi has worked hard all the way! Yuan toasts you again! At the beginning of the banquet, Yuan Shu was still smiling enthusiastically, holding up the wine bottle and treating Zhen Yuan with the same etiquette as a distinguished guest, no matter how talented Yuan Shu himself was, with his ability to fold the knots and hand it over, Zhen Yuan was completely convinced; Yuan Gong is high and bright, and he is handed over to a certain person, and he is grateful! A lot of sycophants spewed out, and Zhen Yuan was probably excited

Yuan Shu accepted it with a smile, and replied modestly: "Where, where!" Zhen Yuan! What was that girl's name just now? How old are you? Is there a marriage match? ”

Waiting for this, Zhen Yuan was secretly happy in his heart: "This is the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, Zhen Jiang, eighteen years old, has not yet been married, mainly because her health is not very good, and the housewife has never dared to marry others, and her health has improved in recent years."

"Eighteen is too big!" , Yuan Shu frowned, quite dissatisfied: "It's still frail and sickly, it's not appropriate!" It's a pity! ”

"What's a pity? Could it be that Yuan Gong is intentional", Li Mouren smiled: "The frail body can be recuperated!" What a big deal! ”

"Filial piety is not disgusted?" , Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, patted the couch, and said with a smile: "Okay!" Zhen Yuan! What do you think of our husband? In recent years, it is only the year of the weak crown, but he is already a famous person in the world, knowledgeable and reasonable, and the future is limitless!

Of course, Miss Zhen can't be his wife, filial piety is a lonely family first, I, who is a brother, have to pay more attention, and the candidate for a wife has to be seen again, what do you think of giving him a concubine first? ”

"Yuan Gong I", Li Kai was completely moved, especially 'Xiaoxian is alone, I'm a brother who has to pay more attention', Yuan Shu really didn't treat him as an outsider! Can this be done for someone else?

Looking at Li with moist eyes, Yuan Shu was secretly proud in his heart: quack! You're going to be moved, kid, aren't you?

Zhen Yuan opened his mouth, and looked at the undoubted thing in Yuan Shu's smiling face, and could only answer with a smile: "Mr. Li is famous all over the world, and it is also an honor for the eldest lady to be a concubine for him!" There is no objection under it! ”

"So! Very good! Yuan Shu nodded: "I'm in charge of this matter!" After a discussion, I will do things, and the boss is not small, and I also need someone to take care of it in life, filial piety, how about it? ”

Li Kai calmed down and said with a smile: "Yuan Gong is too anxious!" If you don't say that you are going to go to the Jujube Alliance, this is a grand event in the world, we have to make more preparations, and I can't waste my private interests for public business, so let's wait and talk! ”

"It's good! Zhen Yuan! That's it! Can you really call the shots? If you can't be the master, then go back and talk to your boss, Yuan may fall one day, but Xiaoxian is the object of everyone's wooing! In other words, he will never fall! Yuan Shu said something like this with deep meaning; Li Kai was surprised, Young Master Yuan seemed to know himself very well! knows that he may not be the kind of material that competes for the world, and he may fall down one day, but Li Kai relies on his talent and learning, no matter who he is, he has to compete to win him over

Zhen Yuan pursed his lips, Young Master Yuan said this very frivolously, another meaning of frivolity is pride, which means that you have to agree if you agree, if you don't agree, you still have to agree, this is the bearing of a wealthy family!

Qiang smiled, Zhen Yuan smiled: "Yuan Gong, please rest assured!" I can still do it, Lord."

The reason why Zhen Jiang has never been married, in addition to being frail and sickly, there is another important reason, that is, she is a dumb person! There is a mouth disease! Zhen Yuan didn't say a word, originally he thought that if Yuan Shu planned to accept Zhen's daughter, then explain the situation to him, change the second lady, if it was his subordinate, then it would be fine!

However, judging from Yuan Shu's performance, this subordinate identity seems to be unusual, Zhen Yuan can only have the courage to hide this matter, after all, Zhen Jiang is already eighteen years old, and he can't marry for the rest of his life; However, this matter was not concealed in the end, Yuan Shu's daughter Yuan Ruo was sent out by Li to be a spy, but the next day, Li got the information, he was not angry, and he had no other ideas, just found Zhen Yuan; "Zhen Yuan, should you say something else to me?" , Li Kai looked at Zhen Yuan and said playfully: "Isn't the act of deception very good?" If I'm not mistaken, if Yuan Gong decides to marry your Zhen family, I'm afraid that the candidate will be replaced by one, do you think I'm very easy to deceive? Still think of me"

Having said that, Zhen Yuan is also a delicate person, how can he not understand? At that time, I was sweating profusely, and I kept telling forgiveness: "I still hope that Mr. Li will forgive me Actually, I just think that Mr. Yushu is in the wind, he is a humble gentleman, and the eldest lady is a poor person, and I can only be an uncle in the world."

A lot of words did not match the preamble, and Li helped him up and smiled: "Cunning rabbit three holes, Zhen's plan is now, right?" I don't know how many chips you plan to put on Yuan Gong? Thirty percent? Or forty percent? ”

Zhen Yuan felt that he couldn't hide anything from the person in front of him, so he reluctantly stretched out a finger, "This is an expected goal at the moment!" ”

"Who else but Yuan Shao?" , Li was obviously not very satisfied, and asked; "This", Zhen Yuan didn't plan to say it, but Li Kai's eyes were very clever and had a certain murderous aura: "Yanzhou Liu Dai, Jizhou Han Fu, and Dongjun Qiao Mao have all received Zhen's assistance!" ”

"What a bad sight! Give up! Han Fu? Qiao Mao? Sooner or later, they will be swallowed by Yuan Shao, Yanzhou Liu Dai is just a fool! I'll give you a good suggestion, and when you go back, transfer half of Zhen's energy to Yuan Gong! Seeing the poor dagger, this is Li Kai's plan; Zhen Yuan didn't dare to answer, Li Kai smiled and walked into the distance: "This is advice!" Think about it! Uncle Shi! ”； In fact, what Li Kai wants to say more about what he is doing now is - just sell himself;
