Zhuge Liang had a question in his heart, so he asked casually. The Wuxi barbarian laughed and said www.biquge.info "Scholar, you are really not from Yizhou!" Tell you about it! Champion Hou ordered that all items bought and sold in Yizhou must be priced by the government, and if the profiteering is more than five times, it will be confiscated, and if the profiteering is more than ten times, the house will be beheaded! In the past, the medicinal herbs we collected in the mountains, even if the price was higher than gold in the Han realm, could only be exchanged for a bag of grain. Now there is a champion Hou pricing, who dares to arbitrarily lower the price, we will ask the champion Hou to call the shots! Those annihilators are not afraid of us, it is a big deal not to come, but they are afraid of the champion! If the champion is gone, we barbarians will be unlucky. Who has a good name, but to be against the champion Hou? ”

"Aren't you afraid that the Han merchants won't buy your things?" Zhuge Liang smiled: "I remember that the things in your hands can't be stored for a long time. If Yizhou businessmen join forces to suppress it, presumably the champion Hou will also have a headache! ”

"What you said happened before!" The barbarian laughed and said, "But what kind of person is the champion Hou, how can he be coerced by these ghost tricks? He sent Lord Mi, Master Zhang, and Master Su to buy them at a price five floors below the market price, which was enough for us barbarians to eat and clothe them. Without those annihilation merchants, we would do business with the people of the champion Hou! I heard that after the champion Hou pacified the Nanban, he moved Wuxi Man into Yizhou and became the people under his rule, and the good words of our barbarians are coming! ”

"I see!" Zhuge Liang nodded, he had also heard a little about Liu Zhang's policy, but he was a little repulsed by Liu Zhang's behavior of killing if he was not satisfied. After listening to the barbarian's words, he asked with some doubts: "I heard that the champion Hou has always been merciless to those who disobey his policy, aren't you afraid?" ”

"Afraid? Why be afraid? The barbarian laughed and said, "Let's just say that our great king Shamoke, if the clansmen disobey his wishes, a severe beating will be considered light!" The champion Hou is the king of Yizhou, dare to disobey him, isn't he looking for death? We obey the champion Hou, he is too late to take care of us, he will not disadvantage us, of course we are not afraid! ”

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang smiled, the reason that the barbarians said was very simple, but those big families had long forgotten it. The big families always rely on their own power and connections in the court, and sometimes they don't even pay attention to Huang Yanjing. Now when you meet someone like Liu Zhang, you will naturally suffer a big loss! After suffering a loss, he doesn't consider his own reasons, but blindly blames others for being cruel, and he really doesn't know what to do!

"Sir, your salt!" Just when Zhuge Liang was talking to the barbarian, the trader weighed the salt and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "If Mr. doesn't believe it, you can go to the fair scale at the gate of the government to weigh it, one tael shorter, and the villain will pay ten taels!" But if you want to blackmail, you have to be careful of the law of the champion! ”

"Presumably this is also what Champion Hou said!" Zhuge Liang threw the salt into the car and asked with a smile: "I want to exchange the grain here for copper coins, where should I go?" ”

"Half a mile ahead, there is a government-run grain store, and anyone who buys and sells grain has to go there!" The vendor was very enthusiastic about the customer, and pointed out a way to Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang went along with it!

It didn't take long to get there, and I saw a storefront standing in the middle of the city, where many people came and went, bringing bags of grain into the store. In front of the store, there is a stone tablet engraved with the words 'The people take food as the sky', and next to the big characters is written in bright red font: Do not buy and sell grain at a price higher than the market price, otherwise you will not be spared!

Selling the grain, Zhuge Liang exchanged a bunch of copper coins, and wanted to say something to the shopkeeper in the store, but was driven away by the shopkeeper! As for the food policy, the shopkeeper pointed to the wall of the store. On that wall, Liu Zhang's regulations on grain are written very clearly in black paint! Zhuge Liang stepped forward to read it carefully, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, he was already an expert in internal affairs, and after reading those regulations, he actually had a new understanding!

Leaving the grain store, Zhuge Liang wandered around the street, buying everything his wife wanted to buy, but his heart was not as calm as his face. For a person who wants to achieve great things, he is not afraid of the enemy's evil, not afraid of the enemy's strength, but afraid that the enemy is too wise.

Originally, Zhuge Liang chose Liu Bei, on the one hand, Liu Bei could give him space to exert himself, and on the other hand, he had some opinions about other princes. In Zhuge Liang's heart, the Sun family is too incompetent, Cao Ying is too shady, and he is not orthodox in the Han family, and Liu Zhang is brutal and easy to kill! Who knows, most of his ideas are because of the children of the family around him.

As the saying goes: three people become tigers. The family is belittling other princes on the one hand, and Liu Bei is being elevated on the other, and there are also Zhuge Liang's three teachers who are fueling the troubles, no matter how smart Zhuge Liang is, he will be confused. In the past, it was said that Shang Ying changed the law, and the Mo family did not oppose Shang Yang because they did not see the benefits brought by the law and were bewitched by others! Later, the benefits of the Qin law appeared, and the Mo family immediately became supporters of the change. Whoever is wise, as long as he is given a gap, he can see the whole picture in one spot!

The more he walked around Ba County, the more frightened he became, Zhuge Liang wanted to know Liu Zhang for the first time, but he didn't know where to find out. Whether it is taking information from the master or talking from the mouths of the people under Liu Zhang's rule, it will be biased. The best way is to meet Liu Zhang and feel it from himself, but this method is the most unrealistic. Zhuge Liang knew that if Liu Zhang saw him, he would not let him go again!

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand as he walked, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, there was darkness in front of him, and he hit a strong chest. When he raised his eyes and forgot about it, he saw a big black man blocking in front of him, and this big black man was about the same height as him, but his waist was two of him, his arms were as thick as his thighs, and his face was very hideous.

"What do you want to do?" Zhuge Liang knew that the laws in Yizhou were very strict, and he was not afraid.

"Sir, please!" The big black man actually bowed and saluted, and said very politely: "My son-in-law sees that Mr. has an extraordinary bearing, and wants to make friends with Mr., I don't know if Mr. is willing to succumb?" ”

"This..."Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and asked with a gentle smile: "If I say I don't want to, how will you stay?" ”

"That is if my husband has no relationship with my son-in-law, I should make way!" The big black man didn't mean to force it at all, he just looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile, but it was okay if he didn't laugh, and his smile was even more hideous!

"Lead the way!" Zhuge Liang is very eye-catching, how can he not see that the big black man in front of him is a fierce general? He also wanted to see who the son in the mouth of the big black man was.

Following the black man, Zhuge Liang came to a restaurant not far away, and went up to the private room on the third floor in one breath, and the black big man knocked on the door of the private room and said: "Son, the gentleman with the feather fan was invited by me!" ”

"Please come in!" A rather majestic voice sounded, Zhuge Liang pushed the door into the private room, only to see a man in his thirties, bowing to Zhuge Liang and saying: "I saw Mr. Louder's bearing upstairs, I was quite heartbroken, and I took the liberty to disturb, please don't blame Mr!" ”

"Childe is polite!" Zhuge Liang hurriedly returned the salute, he could see that the person in front of him was at least a son of a family, and his bearing was obviously in a high position for a long time.

"Sir, please be seated!" Dahan ordered someone to serve a piece of wine and food, raised a glass to Zhuge Liang and said: "Although Mr. is not to blame, but if it is wrong, it is wrong, and I will be fined three glasses of wine to respect Mr." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Zhuge Liang sat down and poured himself a cup to drink with the big man.

In ancient times, it was not uncommon for two people to look at each other on the road and invite each other to drink, especially between scribes. And many times, after being full of wine and food, they even cry and make a fuss to worship the son, but they don't even know the other party's surname. It's not the first time Zhuge Liang has encountered this kind of thing, after all, his bearing is also the top among the literati, but there are not many people who can drink with him!

As the saying goes: There are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for half a sentence. How do you know if you're a confidant? Chat, of course! Zhuge Liang is a talented person, and there is naturally no problem with who he wants to perfunctory. But after a few words, Zhuge Liang was a little surprised in his heart. Because Dahan looks like a martial artist, but the words he says are quite incisive. With Zhuge Liang's knowledge, this person must not be an ordinary person.

Not only Zhuge Liang was surprised, but the Han who invited Zhuge Liang to drink with him was also surprised. Dahan was hungry and thirsty, and was going to eat in the restaurant. Looking down from the restaurant, I saw Zhuge Liang holding a feather fan and wearing a crane, standing in the crowd like a bright lamp, and I couldn't help but think of making friends. invited Zhuge Liang to talk about it, and found that he had unique insights in both military affairs and government affairs!

"Dare to ask the name of the gentleman!" Dahan saw Zhuge Liang's talent and was even more respectful!

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "When we meet in Pingshui, it is already fate to be able to drink a cup together, why ask my name!" No, I didn't ask your name! ”

"Sir, that's a bad word!" Dahan said with a smile: "I am the general under the command of the champion Hou, and when I see Mr. is talented, I want to recommend it to my master, of course I have to ask Mr. for his name!" ”

"No need to ask!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "It's just a mountain village man, a little whimsical. If the general recommends me to the champion Hou, I will have to laugh and be generous! ”

"I don't know how many people are better than Mr. Talent, if Mr. wants to be smiling and generous, what am I?" Dahan got up, bowed to the end and said, "Please also ask Mr. for advice!" ”

"It's... Forget it! Zhuge Liang hesitated, but still refused to tell his name, after all, the reputation of Wolong and Fengxiao is too loud, if it is known by outsiders, he doesn't have to wait for Liu Zhang to invite, maybe he will be arrested by Liu Zhang's people! However, he asked a little puzzled: "I heard about Corporal Hou Lixian, but I didn't expect his subordinates to love talents so much, aren't you afraid of Champion Hou Ji?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" The Great Han smiled and said, "My lord once said that if he was overthrown by the ministers, the monarch must be very incompetent. If overthrown by the people, the monarch will either be a faint monarch or a tyrant. As for one or two ambitious people, what are you afraid of? Can't make any big waves! ”

"Champion Hou Zhen is a hero!" Zhuge Liang also admired Liu Zhang's bearing a little when he heard this, but he still had his persistence, and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to take refuge!
