Liu Ze then dropped another bombshell.

"In the troubled times, the eunuch group and the foreign relatives group who have controlled the government for hundreds of years will be wiped out, and the subsequent historical stage will be full of heroes and heroes, and it is not yet known who will die!"

Jia Xu was even more stunned, Liu Ze outlined the historical trend of the following decades in just a few words, whether it was true or false, although it will take time to prove, but the domineering side exposure in his words is by no means beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Presumably Shopkeeper Liu also has the heart to win the Central Plains and dominate the world?"

Liu Ze was noncommittal, and said: "The future world is not only the world of the overlord and the hero, but also the world of the famous ministers and fierce generals. ”

Jia Xu's face was slightly red, and he said: "Lu Ziya and Zhang Zifang, how can they be compared to the next, Shopkeeper Liu is serious." "The words are humble, it doesn't mean that he is useless in his heart, Maxima is often there, Bole is not often, is it possible that Liu Ze really likes himself to be a worldly talent? Thinking of Liu Ze's previous tricks, he faintly felt that Liu Ze was really his own Bole, but Liu Ze's methods made him disgusted, and said lightly: "I am only proficient in a few barbarian words, and I am not knowledgeable, I am afraid that I will disappoint the shopkeeper Liu." ”

How could Liu Ze not understand that he still had a grudge in his heart, and he was worried about what he had done, so he took out a piece of brocade from his arms at the moment, it was the contract, and handed it into Jia Xu's hand, and said: "Mr. Wenhe, this contract will be returned to Mr. ”

Jia Xuru was in a dream, hesitated and said, "Really? ”

"There is no joke, Mr. is now free, whether to go or stay, please decide for yourself."

Under this sudden change, Jia Xu really couldn't adapt for a while, and the originally hopeless thing was overturned in an instant, did he find out with his conscience, or did he have other plans? Jia Xu is still really unsure, and Ai Ai said: "Thank you - shopkeeper Liu, in the future, don't pass it - there will be a period later." ”

Liu Ze smiled and said goodbye: "Okay, Mr. Wenhe has a good trip." So saying, he turned and walked away.

Jia Xu's heart seemed to have overturned the five-flavor bottle, and the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty sourness came to his heart together, thinking about his own self-esteem, Wen Taowu and Wuluo, there is no refinement, but no one appreciates it in this turbid world. As the saying goes, he stands at thirty, but he has achieved nothing after the age of his establishment, and can only work as an interpreter for merchants in the frontier land. Speaking of appreciation, Liu Ze in front of him is the first person who values himself, although the means are somewhat unacceptable to him, but it proves from the side that Liu Ze attaches great importance to himself, otherwise he will never try his best to force himself to stay.

After a year of getting along, Jia Xu has a new understanding of Liu Ze, who was just a small businessman in Yangguan last year, but it is this small businessman who gallops across the land of the Western Regions, and his courage and strategy show the mind and courage of the overlord everywhere, and his control and prediction of the general trend of the world are also unattainable. It can be said that this person is definitely promising, even if he can't win the world, at least there is no doubt about becoming a hero, isn't this kind of lord what he is looking for? If you let go of this opportunity today, maybe you can really only end up in the bitter path of the yellow sand. The soldier dies for his confidant, and with this alone, Liu Ze can make himself loyal for a lifetime. Jia Xu looked at Liu Ze's departing back, and finally shouted:

"Shopkeeper Liu, wait-"

In fact, Liu Ze is also gambling, if Jia Xu is determined to leave him, he is helpless, after all, he first set a trap, which caused Jia Xu's disgust, since leaving Yumen Pass, Liu Ze has already felt Jia Xu's silent protest, and if it continues like this, it will only attract Jia Xu's hatred, even if he will not leave for life, but if he really can't work, he has no choice, only let him sincerely serve in order to let him do things for himself. Liu Ze had to take a risk, first impress with words, and then return the contract.

However, Liu Ze believes that with the current situation, it is very likely that Jia Xu will serve himself. After all, Jia Xu is not the kind of hidden master who regards himself as pure and transcendent, nor is he the kind of person who regards death as his home, foolish, loyal and filial, his cleverness is more of a kind of wisdom and self-preservation. At a time when most of the overlords were still lurking in the wilderness, the battle of the Western Regions had shown his strong side, and it was impossible for Jia Xu not to see his ambition and ability, and he wanted to capture him and pull him into his chariot.

Liu Ze turned around, Jia Xu had walked quickly in front of him, and said with a deep salute: "The lord is above, please accept Jia Xu's worship, Jia Xu is willing to do his best in his life to help the lord achieve the king's career!" ”

This voice of the lord said that Jia Xu had sincerely surrendered, Liu Ze was overjoyed, clasped his hands, and said: "Wenhe, please be polite." The two looked at each other and smiled, sympathizing with each other.

On the way down the mountain, Jia Xu asked coldly: "Lord, our contract has been invalidated, but the gold ...... of one hundred taels a year"

Liu Ze smiled, this Jia Xu is true, I am really embarrassed to speak as another scholar, but think about the fact that there are wives and children waiting to eat at home, although it is a bit vulgar to talk about money, but dealing with such a straightforward person, Liu Ze likes it.

He pretended to mutter: "Wenhe, you know that we are now in the initial stage of our career, and our funds will be a little tighter-"

Seeing that Jia Xu showed a hint of disappointment on his face, he continued: "In this way, I will pay the salary according to Taishou's salary, what do you think of Wen He?" ”

Taishou's Yulu is 2,000 stone per year, and when converted into money, it is more than 300,000 yuan, not to mention how the three or four hundred taels of gold are amazing, but Liu Ze gave him the treatment of 2,000 stones at once, which shows how much Liu Ze values himself, you must know that when he was a filial piety official, he was only two or three hundred stones, Jia Xu hurriedly said: "This-too much-"

Liu Ze smiled and said: "With Wenhe's talent, it is not too much to take the salary of three public stones, and now when I start a business, I can only be a little stingy, and when I succeed in the future, I will definitely make up for Wenhe." ”

Jia Xu was really convinced, his lord was so bold and magnificent, it seemed that he had not chosen the wrong path, but said: "Thank you, lord, I am so ashamed." ”

Liu Ze was in a good mood, watching the sun turn west, and said, "Let's go, they should be in a hurry." ”

In order to avoid the coveting of the powerful people of the dynasty, especially Zhang Rangzuofeng, these eunuchs, Liu Ze only chose a relatively remote path, and it was Xiaoxing to stay overnight, as for the robbers who cut more paths on the path, Liu Ze directly ignored it. Bypass Chang'an, pass through Tongguan, cross the Yellow River at Fengling, turn north, and go straight to the Phoenix Valley in Quyang.

Going to Luoyang? Liu Ze never thought that as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, these sweaty and bloody BMWs would definitely cause a sensation like a nine-magnitude earthquake, not only the ten permanent servants who were used to taking advantage of the arrogant, but even the greedy Emperor Han Ling probably wanted to get a piece of the pie, and Liu Ze of these powerful people at this time could not afford to provoke them. Unable to provoke us to hide, Liu Ze chose to place the sweaty horse in the Phoenix Valley, a place outside the world.

The road was safe, and soon came to the Phoenix Valley, Pan Fengwu Anguo led the army back, and Liu Ze introduced Jia Xu to Guan Hai and others. Jia Xu saw that the soldiers of the Phoenix Valley were strong and strong, and all kinds of workshops were in order, and the Pan Wu cavalry that had impressed him before was only a small part of the Phoenix Valley Brigade, it seemed that Liu Ze had begun to prepare for the hegemony of the world, and his understanding of Liu Ze naturally went to a new level.

Guan Hai reported to Liu Ze in detail on the training and production of the team in Phoenix Valley. Although Pan Fengwu Anguo took a part of the team out of Phoenix Valley, the training outline formulated by Liu Ze was extremely detailed, and Guan Hai could implement it step by step, and after a year of training, he obviously felt the improvement of the strength of each team.

But Liu Ze still saw the gap between the troops left in the valley and the 300 people he took away, after a year of baptism of fighting, the remaining 200 people have qualitatively improved both their personal ability and teamwork, especially the team leader Pan Feng and Wu Anguo have grown rapidly, and they have faintly stepped into the ranks of military generals. From this point, Liu Ze also saw how big the gap was between training and actual combat, and how to calculate the actual combat ability of the entire team has become the primary problem in front of Liu Ze.

The production of the workshops is in good order, and the blacksmith shops have been building weapons and armor on a large scale, but the quality has not yet surpassed the level of the blacksmiths in the capital and the major state cities.

Liu Ze didn't say anything about this, he understood that if you want to build better weapons and armor, you have to make steel, especially alloy steel such as manganese steel and tungsten steel, which needs to be forged into alloy steel, and steelmaking requires coke with greater heat than coal, and raw materials such as manganese, tungsten and rare earths, which are almost impossible to achieve under the current conditions.

But Liu Ze still has some calculations, although he can't make good steel now, but the raw materials must be prepared first, even if he can divide one side in the future and have the ability to build a blast furnace to make steel, but at that time, the world was in chaos, and the heroes were divided, and it was probably more difficult to find ore on other people's territory. It seems that Liu Ze has to use these two years to get his hands on those rare metals and mineral deposits.

Those who were arranged to farm and breed in the back mountains had a good harvest at the end of last year, in addition to being self-sufficient, they could also be supplied to the training camp, especially in the winter when the farming was slack to expand the breeding capacity of cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens, and now the supply of meat, eggs, poultry and milk and other non-staple foods in the entire Phoenix Valley in addition to grain has achieved self-sufficiency, and there is no longer a need to purchase outside, which makes Liu Ze very happy.
