Zhang Ren didn't pay much attention to Liu Xiu's coughing sound, but he saw that Xu Zhen's eyes were not on the opponent in front of him, but glanced behind him, and immediately realized that Liu Xiu standing behind him was not a tourist, he was the real leader of this group. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info starter It's a pity that although he realized this, he didn't have time to react, Xu Yu was like a fierce tiger, and as soon as he made a move, he felt a mountain of pressure.

Zhang Ren raised the knife to parry, the two knives intersected, the ring knife in Zhang Ren's hand was not the opponent of the war knife in Xu Ren's hand, the "click" broke into two, Zhang Ren was shocked, but Xu Yu immediately seized this opportunity, his left hand was clenched into a fist, and a punch hit Zhang Ren's right shoulder.

With a "boom", Zhang Ren seemed to have been hit by a bison, flew up on his back, and fell in front of Yan Xing with a thud. Yan Xing waved his hand, and the cold sword rested on Zhang Ren's neck.

"Don't move!"

Zhang Ren was furious, stretched out his hand to hold Yan Xing's knife, rolled on the spot, kicked his legs, kicked Yan Xing's right wrist, and kicked Yan Xing's lower crotch. Yan Xing didn't expect him to be so brave, and in a hurry, he had to let go of his sword and take a step back. Zhang Ren held the knife in his hand, turned over and jumped up, and without looking at the others, he rushed straight towards Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu was surprised and delighted, surprised that this little was ruthless enough, and happy that it was also ruthless enough, he didn't say a word, took a step forward, hit it sideways, pushed forward with both palms, and hit Zhang Ren's chest and abdomen.

This blow was better than Xu Zhen's punch. Zhang Ren was like a kite with a broken string, flying five steps upside down and falling to the ground fiercely. The fall made him dizzy, his body was sore, and the knife fell to the side. He struggled twice, but couldn't get up.

Yan Xing was taken away from the knife for the first time, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but be furious, and grabbed the knife and picked it up. Raise your sword and slash.

"Yanming, stop!" Liu Xiu let out a loud shout, stepped forward, and raised his hand to hold Yan Xing's arm. "Spare him a life."

Yan Xing glanced at Zhang Ren, who fell to the ground. He spat hatefully. Zhang Ren fell to the ground weakly, his hands were bloody, but his eyes were stubborn and cold.

Zhang Ren was captured. The remaining soldiers were vulnerable and were captured by Gan Ning and others. Gan Ning was originally a little arrogant, but after seeing Xu Yu and Liu Xiu's skills today, all the arrogance in his heart disappeared. He knew that Liu Xiu didn't fight back that night, and he did save his face, otherwise he would definitely lie on the ground in embarrassment like this Zhang Ren.

Gong An, the head sacrificial wine of Langzhong Zhizhi, had already gotten the news, and watched Liu Xiu restrain these soldiers when he raised his hand, and hurriedly greeted him, and said to Liu Xiu from afar: "I have heard for a long time that the general of the chariot is brave. When I saw it today, it was really worthy of the name, and I was fortunate to be lucky. ”

Liu Xiuwaner smiled and raised his hand to return the salute: "It's long to disturb the Dao." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Gong An raised his hand to invite: "The general is here to disdain, and contempt is brilliant." Checkmate. If you want to see someone, I will send someone to invite you immediately, and the general will invite you to come in and have tea, and wait for a while. ”

"Then there is the chief of the road." Liu Xiu nodded in greeting and entered the Zhilu under the guidance of Gong An. Gong An has already prepared a tea set, which is a set of Jingmei lacquerware. The lacquerware governed by Shu County is famous all over the world. The imperial court had a special lacquerware workshop in Chengdu, and other counties such as Guanghan and Mianyang had lacquerware workshops. In order to make the lacquerware of Jingmei more durable and durable, the best lacquerware will have metal trimming, called 釦, according to the different tools used, the lacquerware is also divided into different grades, the good is loaded with gold hammer, only for the use of the sky, the second level is the silver hammer, for the use of the queen, ordinary people can only use the copper hammer, but in addition to the gold hammer no one dares to use, there are many silver hammers, not limited to the use of the queen.

Gong An's lacquerware is silver, and the pattern is also different, not a common phoenix bird and other auspicious patterns, it looks like a variety of charms, and his identity is consistent, it should be specially customized.

After Liu Xiu took his seat, Gong An accompanied him and explained the general situation of Langzhong. He said that the seven surnames of Ban Yu have always been in the same breath, and they are all followers of the Heavenly Master Dao, although they have not communicated with the other four surnames yet, but they have no problem helping Liu Xiu. It's just that in addition to their five surnames, there are also some big surnames in Langzhong, and their loyalty to the Heavenly Master Dao is not so strong, and if you want to get their help, the important thing is interests.

Liu Xiu remembered what Gan Ning had said, so he asked, "Are you familiar with the politics of Bingzhou and Guanzhong?" ”

Gong An smiled: "I don't know much about the politics of Bingzhou, but we often hear about the politics of Guanzhong." Many businessmen from Guanzhong to Chengdu will pass through Langzhong and often talk about the politics of Guanzhong, so we are no strangers to the politics of the generals. ”

Gong An said as he poured Liu Xiu a cup of tea. At present, the Han people are not very accepting of drinking tea, but the atmosphere of drinking tea in Shu is very strong, as early as the Western Han Dynasty, tea has become an important economic plant in Bashu, Liu Xiu drank tea before, most of the tea was brought by Mrs. Lu from Bashu.

Liu Xiu picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip, the Gong family is one of the seven surnames of Banyu, and he is a big family in Langzhong, he cares about his own interests and politics like other big families. To be able to be the head of the great sacrifice wine, of course his prestige in Langzhong will not be small, and his attitude may be the attitude of the surname Langzhong to a certain extent, so Liu Xiu wants to listen to his opinion first.

"What does the Taoist chief think of my politics?"

Gong An knew that Liu Xiu understood what he meant, and shook his head with a smile: "I'm just a country man, where do I have any high opinions, but I have heard a lot, but I also have some ideas, if I can have the opportunity to ask the general for advice in person, it is also a blessing." ”

"The Taoist is polite." Liu Xiu smiled slightly and put down the teacup: "I'll listen to you." ”

Gong An laughed and raised his glass to invite: "Come, general, let's replace wine with tea, let's have a drink first." ”

Liu Xiu raised his glass, the two touched it, took a sip of tea, and Gong An began to tell his opinion. What he meant was actually very simple, Yizhou was rich, not as demanding as Guanzhong and Bingzhou, of course they also wanted to get rich, but they were worried that after Liu Xiu's government was implemented in Yizhou, a large amount of wealth would be exported to Bingzhou and Guanzhong, so that. It's not good for Yizhou. Therefore, the people of Yizhou hope to obtain industrial and commercial licenses like the powerful families in the merger and state, and can make a fortune in an upright and upright manner, but they don't want their own interests to be embezzled, so they have done the granary and treasury of the state and Guanzhong in vain.

This situation has never been encountered by Liu Xiu before, whether he is in Bingzhou or Liangzhou. The purpose of politics is to give profits to those powerful in exchange for their support, based on their economic strength. Quickly accumulate wealth, then export the products and buy grain. In order to solve the local food crisis, and gradually buy back the land from Haoqiang. With the huge industrial and commercial profits as bait, the dependence of the powerful on land has been reduced, and Liu Xiu has much less resistance when he recovers the land occupied by them.

The situation in Yizhou is somewhat different. Yizhou people rely on the means of wealth is not based on land, but refining and industry and commerce, Yizhou people are famous in the country, Yizhou's handicraft industry is also very developed, Yizhou's merchants are countless, business even went to Tianzhu, Daxia, although the southwest Silk Road is not as famous as the other two Silk Road. On the one hand, Chengdu is an important town in the southwest of Dahan commerce centered on Luoyang, and it is a transit point for Dahan to communicate abroad.

It can be said that without Liu Xiu's politics, the people of Yizhou are already very rich. If Liu Xiu can't bring them great benefits, why should they take the risk to support Liu Xiu?

Liu Xiu smiled faintly and listened quietly, and when Gong An finished speaking, he already had an idea. He put down his teacup and clasped his hands together gently. After rubbing it twice, he said with a smile: "Since the Taoist is the Heavenly Master Daozhi Head Sacrifice Wine and is in charge of Yizhi, he must have some understanding of Taoism, I want to ask the Taoist chief a few questions about Taoism, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Gong An can be the head treatment of the head of the great sacrifice wine, of course, a little Taoism, but he is not because of the Taoist skills to become this head of the sacrifice wine. Liu Xiu wanted to discuss Taoism with him, of course, it was not what he wanted to hear, but he also knew that these people with status liked to talk around the corner, play metaphors, and test each other in metaphors. Therefore, he nodded and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that the general's Taoist skills are wonderful, and if I can listen to the general's Taoist skills today, I will definitely benefit a lot." ”

Liu Xiu smiled silently, his eyes looked at the flames on the teapot: "Dao Chief, do you know how the first fire came from?" ”

Gong An pondered for a moment: "The book says that it is the Suiren clan who teaches the people to drill wood to make fire. ”

"Yes, drilling wood produces heat, so it can make fire, just as these two palms rub together can also produce heat. But Dao Chief, have you ever seen anyone who can rub their palms out of fire? ”

"I haven't heard of that." Gong An laughed softly and looked at Liu Xiu with interest.

"Yes, rubbing your palms together doesn't make a fire." Liu Xiu looked at Gong An with a smile: "Nowadays, most people use drilling wood to make fire, wood flint to make fire, and hemp to lead it. However, even for a very skilled person, it is very time-consuming and laborious to start a fire in this way. ”

The Han Dynasty's fire technique is basically no different from that of the pre-Qin Dynasty, most of them use a hardwood drill called a wood flint to grind the cork, and then use flammable hemp wool and the like to start the fire. But ordinary people don't have this condition, so they can only regenerate fire when they use it, which is actually a very troublesome thing, but Gong An is different from Liu Xiu, he is used to this method and does not feel very troublesome.

"Jinyang Academy has developed a method of making fire, which only needs to be swiped lightly to make a fire. At present, the method of mass production is being tested, and it will be able to supply the army. Liu Xiu laughed: "In the future, when we march and fight, we don't have to be so troublesome to regenerate fire and cook." Of course, people who are doing business abroad can also use it. ”

Gong An raised his eyebrows and nodded yes again and again, but he still didn't quite understand what Liu Xiu wanted to say.

"Dao Chief, if there is such a thing, how much are you willing to spend on it?"

Gong An pondered for a moment: "To make a fire once, I am willing to pay a penny." ”

Liu Xiu stroked his palms and smiled: "Dao Chang is frugal enough, if you light a fire once a day, you are only willing to pay thirty yuan for it a month, but it is the price of a pound of meat." But the Taoist chief, a servant who specializes in cooking, is in charge of food and shelter, and the monthly servant is less than 2,000, and you can't hire anyone. ”

Gong An smiled disapprerovingly: "That's right, but who doesn't want to save some money." ”

"Not bad." Liu Xiu leaned closer, "But I want to tell the Taoist chief that in fact, this thing can be sold for thirty yuan, and the cost is only one yuan." ”

Gong An raised his eyebrows: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true." The corners of Liu Xiu's mouth twitched: "Where did the extra twenty-nine dollars come from?" He pointed to his temple: "It is born of human intelligence." You sell goods, I sell wisdom. ”

Gong An blinked his eyes and was silent, but his eyes were already a little bright.

"Yizhou is rich because of its abundant products, but if it is only about whether there is a cargo or not, the money you can make is limited after all." Liu Xiu straightened up, calm, "Wisdom, only wisdom, is an inexhaustible wealth." Yizhou is stronger than Merge State and Liangzhou, because Yizhou has a material foundation that Merge State and Liangzhou cannot be compared, if the administration is implemented in Yizhou, I believe that the development speed of Yizhou will far exceed that of Merge State and Liangzhou. Daoist, would you like to hear about my specific plan? ”

Gong An's heart was pounding, and he couldn't care about being reserved, so he arched his hand and said, "I would like to hear the general's high opinion." ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Xiu laughed: "Are we waiting for the other four surnames to come, and then we will go to detail together?" ”

Gong An's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood what Liu Xiu meant that he didn't want him to swallow the benefits alone, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but he still smiled mildly on his face: "That's right, that's right." ”

Liu Xiu and Gong An gossiped for a while, intentionally or unintentionally revealing the intention of selling several technologies that were making a lot of money, which made Gong An unsettled. For example, glaze, Gong An has seen it in the general rule of Huming Mountain, which is specially configured by Mrs. Lu and Zhang Lu's study, and the study room with glaze is very well lit, and you can read and do things without lighting during the day, this study is the only one in Yizhou so far, because everyone knows that glaze is very expensive, and it is very fragile, although it is cheap in Bingzhou, but if you want to transport it to Yizhou, the cost is too high. The last time Mrs. Lu went to Bingzhou, she wanted to bring the production technology of Liuli back to Yizhou, but she had been gone for nearly two years, and Gong An and others didn't know if she had Liu Xiu's permission, so she was already in a hurry. Now when he heard Liu Xiu say that he was going to introduce it, but in order to ensure profits, he could only give a few authorized productions, so he immediately moved his mind.

If the Gong family can take a share of this thing, it will be a gold mine. If he lets go of this opportunity in front of him, then the people of the Gong family will not be able to resent him, the head of the family, to death in the future? While talking to Liu Xiu, Gong An was making his own calculations, and inadvertently, the original intention of bargaining with Liu Xiu on behalf of Langzhong Haoqiang had changed, and he wanted to bargain with Langzhong Haoqiang as Liu Xiu's spokesperson.
