Zhang Shiping hesitated for a moment and said: "The bandits in the north are rampant, in case there is a loss......

Liu Ze laughed and said: "It seems that the two shopkeepers are still not very familiar with the business of the dart game, so Wen He should explain it to them." ”

After Jia Xu's detailed explanation, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping suddenly realized that if the goods escorted were robbed, the dart bureau would give full compensation, and then their hearts would be put in their stomachs, and they thanked them repeatedly, and they made an appointment to dart three days later.

Having received the first business so quickly, Liu Ze was in a good mood and instructed Jia Xu to first sign a contract with Fang Yue and more than a dozen other dart masters for a period of five years, and pay his salary every year according to 600 stone millet converted into cash. Fang Yue, Mu Shun, Yu She, and Meng Tan were all born at the grassroots, although they knew that the annual salary of the dart master was equivalent to that of the county master before they went to the ring, but as soon as the contract was signed, they immediately got 10,000 copper coins for the month, which more or less surprised them, and Liu Ze had already set the monthly salary of the month on the first day of each month, that is to say, he could get the money before he worked every month, and he had already shouted the lord 10,000 times in his heart.

As for the terms of the contract, Liu Ze has the right of first refusal, and if he breaches the contract within five years, he will pay ten times the liquidated damages, etc., they signed it without thinking about it, and followed this lord to eat and drink spicy, and they also wanted to change jobs, unless their heads let the door squeeze. Jia Xu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he saw that Liu Ze's contract was actually happy for everyone.

After the contract was signed, Liu Ze divided these dart divisions into five teams, each team of four people, Zhou Cang Fang Yue and others as the first team, Zhou Cang as the captain, Fang Yue as the deputy, under the jurisdiction of fifty executioners, a number of grooms. Li Yong Mushun is the second team, and so on, each team can bet on darts separately, or you can combine the two teams into one team and bet on larger darts.

The more important darts will be escorted by Guan Yu personally, and this first dart will be escorted by Guan Yu himself. Jia Xu sits in charge of the dart bureau, presiding over the daily work of the dart bureau and being responsible for the accounts of the dart board. The position of deputy chief dart is temporarily vacant due to the lack of suitable candidates.

Liu Ze is also ready to leave, he consulted the distribution map of tungsten ore and manganese ore in China, and found that these two resources are distributed in the north and south, with the largest reserves in the south, but at this stage it is not realistic to go to Jiaozhou to mine ore, the road is far away and difficult to transport, fortunately there are deposits of tungsten and manganese in Youzhou, anyway, the amount required by Liu Ze is not too large, and it is more convenient to mine in Youzhou. Liu Ze had already sent a letter to Guan Hai, asking him to transfer 100 professional mining personnel to Youzhou with tools and black powder to meet him, and if the personnel were not enough, they could also transfer some skilled workers from the Jingcheng Coal Mine, anyway, coal mining and mining are much the same.

After three days, Zhang Shiping pulled over the three boxes of gold, and also paid 7,200 taels of gold dart silver, Zhang Shiping also wanted to follow the dart line to Youzhou, but Guan Yu politely declined, according to the rules of the dart line, only responsible for the safety of the goods, the owner only needs to provide the delivery location, do not have to escort in person. As for the range of personnel can also be used as a dart, but there is also a fee, and the dart silver will definitely not be lower than the real money. Zhang Shiping and Liu Ze have also dealt with each other a few times, and naturally they don't have a job to say about Liu Ze's character, as for their big people, they still need to be escorted as goods, and they can't pull their faces down. Zhang Shiping and Guan Yu made an appointment with the time and place of delivery, and then left.

This time, Liu Ze was ready to let Zhou Cang and Wang Meng escort the two teams, but Guan Yu resolutely disagreed, and he personally went out, and only 30,000 taels of gold had to be escorted by 100 people, which was really a joke. In the end, Guan Yu only took fifty executioners from Wang Meng's Mengtan squad and dozens of buddies and horsemen on the road.

Liu Ze also beckoned Zhang Fei to go on the road together, Zhang Fei was excited, and shouted: "Big brother, you agree that I will go to the dart game, it just so happens that the position of the deputy general manager is still empty, so let me sit down." ”

Liu Ze was speechless, and said stupidly: "We are going to Youzhou to mine, and we happen to be on the same road as Yunchang, what do you want to do?" ”

Although not into the dart game, but can go with the dart car, Zhang Fei is also very satisfied, yesterday I saw the newly decorated dart car, quite beautiful, it is a triangular golden dart flag on each car, waving in the wind, it is indeed very windy.

Liu Ze and his entourage rode dozens of five or six brand-new dart cars slowly out of the north gate of Luoyang, attracting people to stop and watch, and there were many discussions, no one had ever seen such a new thing, and I believe that the name of the Yangwei Dart Bureau would be known to everyone in Luoyang City within a few days. Liu Ze didn't think it was wrong, what he wanted was this effect, why didn't he want free advertising.

Leaving Luoyang, all the way to the north, within a dozen days, it was already close to Zhongshan. There is no strong wind and waves along the way, and the small bandits are afraid of the momentum of the Yangwei Dart Bureau and do not dare to act rashly, even if there are a few robbers who are not long-sighted and want to play the idea of a dart car, but without exception they have suffered enough, along the way, the name of the Yangwei Dart Bureau resounded through the green forest road of Henan and Hebei, so that later all the thieves who robbed the road did not see the banner of the Yangwei Dart Bureau and fled.

As soon as he arrived in Zhongshan, someone from Phoenix Valley rushed over and handed a letter to Liu Ze. Liu Ze saw that it was actually a letter from Zhuoxian's family, Liu Ze's heart sank, and his family should not write to him if he didn't have a serious matter. I hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and there were only a few words written on it: "Father is seriously ill, return quickly!" Liu Bei. ”

Liu Ze had an ominous premonition in his heart, but when he looked over and over again, there were only these words written by Liu Bei, and Liu Ze, who was eager to know the details, was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but he hated that this big brother Liu Bei didn't write clearly, what is the situation, why should you spare ink like gold, do you think you are sending a telegram?

Guan Yu said: "Since the eldest brother has something to do at home, he can go quickly, and he doesn't have to go with us." ”

Liu Ze nodded, explained all the affairs of the team to Guan Yu, and rushed to Zhuo County with Zhang Fei. Along the way, Liu Ze's thoughts are surging, although he was reincarnated, but the parents in the Three Kingdoms gave him selfless love, more than ten years, in the Liu family's bits and pieces have sprung up in his heart, although his father Liu Hong is strict, not inhibited and smiling, but in Liu Ze's mind, he is a kind and good father, forcing their brothers to study seriously, teaching them the truth of life, when the family is not rich, resolutely send them to Lu Zhi's school to study, for Liu Hong, the children's future is more important than anything else.

"Father! You must not have anything to do, you must not die, you must wait for me to come back! My son hasn't done his filial piety at your knees, so you must wait for me to come back!" I will find the best doctor, use the best medicine, and be sure to save you back! Wait for me! Unconsciously, tears have blurred my vision.

As soon as he walked to Fanyang, he saw Liu Deran wearing filial piety clothes coming over in a hurry, Liu Ze jumped off the horse and pulled him back, and an ominous premonition hit his heart, and sure enough, Liu Deran knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Second brother, my uncle passed away yesterday." ”

Liu Ze thundered like five thunders, oh my God, he didn't even see the last side of his father. He looked up to the sky and howled, crying bitterly, God, you are too cruel to even leave the last chance to meet. Liu Deran said intermittently that Liu Hong had a sudden illness a few days ago and fell ill in bed, and even the famous doctor in Youzhou City was helpless, and his soul returned to heaven within four or five days. Liu Ze's heart ached like a knife, he couldn't cry, he hated endlessly, hated the sky without eyes, hated creation and making people, and hated himself for only falling into the eyes of money, and failed to do half of his filial piety before bed.

Liu Ze cleaned up his chaotic mood and hurried back to Zhuo County. At this time, he hated to grow his wings, fly back to his father's spirit, confess to him, and atone for him.

The big mulberry tree in Lousang Village is still covered like a cloud, but in Liu Ze's eyes, it is already a thing or a person, in just four years, a qiē here has become so strange, the strangeness makes him feel extremely palpitations, his heart was sharply stabbed like a needle, trembling, bleeding, he wanted to breathe, but found that his chest seemed to be suppressing an incomparably huge boulder, so that he could barely breathe.

Uncle Liu Yuanqi stood at the door, his face full of wrinkles written with sadness, and he also became much older. Seeing Liu Deran coming back with Liu Ze, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "It's Ze'er, are you back?" ”

Liu Ze also held back the pain in his heart, bowed, and said, "Uncle, it's me, I'm back." ”

Liu Yuanqi couldn't help but tremble, and said, "It's good to come back-it's good-"

"Uncle, I want to worship my father's spirit first—"

Liu Yuanqi hesitated and said, "Okay-good-"

"Where is my mother?" My mother's health has not been very good, and she suddenly suffered the pain of losing her husband, I don't know if she can survive it, don't fall ill.

Liu Yuanqi's eyes were full of defeat, and he sighed and said, "Ze'er, your mother...... She ......"

Liu Ze's heart was deeply stabbed by a sharp needle again, and a sense of foreboding hit him, he hurriedly grabbed Liu Yuanqi's arm, and said in a lost voice: "Uncle Yuanqi, where is my mother?" Did she fall ill? You sue me! You sue me! ”

Liu Yuanqi burst into tears, stomped his feet, and said: "Ze'er, your mother cried for a whole day and a night, was sad and vomited blood, and died on the fifth watch today-"

"Nope! Liu Ze shouted, took a few steps back, and shouted, "Impossible! No way! Mother......"

He flew into the middle hall, and what caught his eye was two coffins, and with a bang, his brain was almost blank, and he staggered to the front, and knelt down in front of the spirit with a plop, and two lines of hot tears rolled down, and said sadly: "Father-mother-why don't you wait for me-don't wait for your unfilial son--why don't you let me see your last face--I'm not filial, I'm not filial, oh my God, why?" Sue sù why am I doing this? Daddy-Mother-"

"Second brother!" A voice came, Liu Ze raised his head blankly, and looked at the person in front of him in a trance, it was the eldest brother Liu Bei.
