Chapter 765: The Little Prince
In Xiangyang, Jingzhou.
Kuai Mansion, Kuai Yue has slowly retreated from the officialdom of Jingzhou, among which Kuai Yue deliberately wants to fade out of sight, and the other is that the current Jingzhou court is no longer the former kind of co-host of the Kuai family and the Cai family, but has become the current Huang family Huang Shot and the second son of Liu Biao Liu Pan are falling against each other.
Instead of joining one of them, Kuai Yue simply let go of some powers, of course, the main rights of Kuai Yue are impossible to put down, and some important positions are still the protégés of their Kuai family.
"I'm back!" Kuai Yue sat in the courtyard drinking tea, looking at the busy figure over there and shouting.
"Father!" The busy voice heard the shouting and looked over, and saw the figure bowing down and shouting at Kuai Yue. This person is Liu Mang's sworn brother Kuai Yue's eldest son Kuai Ran, and the current Kuai Ran has long since lost the frivolity of the past, but a calm momentum rippled on his body.
Kuai Yue looked at his only son and became more satisfied, the previous Kuai Ran was a gentleman, although Kuai Yue did not dare to be too presumptuous, but what is the difference between the first level and the ninth level if you don't learn no skills.
But since he met His Royal Highness the King of Shu, his son has changed, from not caring about anything, to now knowing how to help him share the pressure.
The Kuai family is a big family, he is one of the few remaining families in Jingzhou, as the saying goes, the high place is not cold.
I don't know how many people are snooping on the position of this family, thinking about replacing the Kuai family to become a family, so the Kuai family must have a good heir, Kuai Yue didn't have hope for Kuai Ran before, but now he is getting better and better.
"Didn't you collect the month's earnings? How did you come back so quickly? Kuai Yue asked a little puzzled, the Kuai family is a big family, and his various uses are astronomical, so in addition to relying on Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang's salaries, the Kuai family also has its own industry, they are different from businessmen, they do not do business themselves, but give it to the people below, and they only need to provide contacts and collect money every time after the difficulty.
The industry of the Kuai family is really not small, there are hundreds of merchants in the store alone, and the business of each store pù is to be handed over, and now it has been accumulated for several months, and the number should be in tens of thousands of gold.
"Father, it's already counted!" Kuai Ran said to his father.
"So fast?" Kuai Yue said a little puzzled.
"Yes! It's just that the money hasn't been put into the treasury yet! Kuai Ran said to his father that he was rushing back to accompany his wife, and his wife was pregnant, so he rushed back to eat and did not go directly to the warehouse.
"Nonsense!" Kuai Yue became angry: "Those money are just left outside, what if there is a mistake?" Kuai Yue is not worried about the money, but wants his son to develop a good habit, what to do now and what to do in the future.
"Father, don't worry, I've already brought back all that money!" Kuai Ran said to his father.
"Brought back?" Kuai Yue was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Kuai Ran meant, the amount of tens of thousands of gold, it would take at least a dozen big cars to fit it, Kuai Yue was even more angry, you just swaggered through the market with money?
"Father, I misunderstood!" Kuai Ran hurriedly stepped forward to explain to his father, if the explanation was not clear, maybe his father could really smoke himself.
"Come on, bring those Jin Lu Bu!" Kuran shouted to his cronies.
"Yes!" Soon a box was brought up, the size of a lunch box.
"Father, all the income of the store in the past few months has been here! Father, please," he said, pointing to the box over there and to his father.
"How much money do you earn for these months? It's all in this? Kuai Yue was dumbfounded. What the are you kidding me? Tens of thousands of gold in such a small box? Kuai Yue's whole body began to tremble.
This is angry.,I just thought this kid was a talent.,Now it seems that this kid is completely brushing me? You really think that you are already old, old and confused.
Kuai Yue threw the teapot in his hand out of his hand, "I'll kill you, a loser!" Saying that, Kuai Yue became angry, and he was about to shoot Kuai Ran over there. He thought that this loser of his family had spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy such a broken box and came back.
"Father, listen to me, you listen to me!" Kuai Ran is fortunate to be agile, otherwise this teapot will be on the head, and it will not be hung up.
"I don't listen, you loser, what kind of sin has our Kuai family made! There is such a loser as you! Saying that, Kuai Yue is going to do it again.
"It's so lively!" It was at this time that a man entered the courtyard.
"Second uncle, second uncle, save me, save me!" Kuai Ran saw a savior and ran towards Kuai Liang over there.
"Kuai Liang, you came just in time, I want to kill this loser, tens of thousands of gold, just buy such a broken box and come back! Don't stop me! The more he talked, the more angry he became. Tens of thousands of gold to buy a broken box? "If this is really the case, Kuai Liang can't help Kuai Ran, if he is not beaten by his father Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue's anger will not be eliminated." Second uncle, I didn't buy the box! "But the money is all in that box!" "You are a rebel, you dare to quibble, see if I don't kill you!" Kuai Yue was even angrier. "In the box?" "Yes, it's all replaced by Jin Lubu and put it in the box!" Kuai Liang explained to his second uncle.
Kuai Liang stepped forward and picked up the box, it was quite heavy, and opened it, one by one, it was like the quality of the picture. "It's just a pile of broken paper, and you sue me that he's worth ten thousand gold?" Kuai Yue pointed to the contents of the box and said, in good conscience, he also thought that the paintings on those pieces of paper were good, he had not seen Lu Bu, but he knew that Fang Tian painting halberd. The painter paints well, but none of the paintings are worth ten thousand dollars.
"Haha, haha!" Kuai Liang saw those Jin Lu Bu and laughed.
"Kuai Liang, what are you laughing at, this Kuai Ran is not what you are used to today!" Kuai Yue even took his younger brother to teach him a lesson.
"Brother, that's really wronged, as the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, you can't blame me!" Kuai Liang winked at his brother.
"You!" Kuai Yue pointed to his younger brother and was speechless.
"Okay, brother, you said that you have taught us since we were young, to be well-read and memorized, to read more and ask more! Now it's good for you, just don't ask, and beat me indiscriminately, and I'm not convinced! Kuai Liang said to his brother. Don't be unconvinced! Brother, you're really lonely! As he spoke, Kuai Liang took out one and handed it to his brother. This chapter is really worth a hundred gold! Kuai Liang explained. This piece of torn paper? "I don't believe it." This isn't a broken paper, this one is called Jin Lu Bu! Kuai Liang explained to Kuai Ran over there: "Take him, you can go to any gold store in Yangzhou to exchange huàn for one hundred gold!" ”
"Yangzhou?" Kuai Yue was stunned for a moment, what does this have to do with Yangzhou.
"Ran'er, come and explain to your father!" Kuai Liang lifted the ball to Kuai Ran over there.
"Father, this is called Jiaozi and also called Jin Lu Bu, the one hundred gold written on it means that he is worth one hundred gold, as for Yangzhou Gold Bank, this Jiaozi is sent by Liu Mang's brother in Yangzhou, this thing can facilitate businessmen to come and go with each other, and in the future, merchants don't need to carry books and thousands of gold, so many carts and merchant ships need to be transported, so that there are fewer thieves to worry about, only need to bring these dozen or so that is a thousand gold!" Kuai Liang explained to Kuai Ran over there.
Jingzhou is one of the princes closest to Yangzhou, Jingzhou up and down, although Liu Biao and Liu Mang have enmity, but they can't stop the private trade, so the portability of Jiaozi, in addition to any gold bank in Yangzhou, he has huàn, so he suddenly became a darling, at first some people are still waiting, but in some of the time when your gold is not in place, people are not willing to sell the goods to you, or directly sell the goods to others, you just cry, so for the timeliness of the sale, A lot of people are starting to get their hands on these golden tickets.
This time, the Kuai family has a total income of 70,000 gold, and there are 700 golden tickets here, each chapter is 100 gold, put it in the box, ready to be put into storage, if you need gold, you can directly exchange it.
"Golden Ticket?!" Kuai Yue took these golden tickets, his eyes flickered, although he Kuai Yue had never seen this golden ticket, but soon he saw through one of the essence of the golden tickets.
"Ran'er, you said that in the market in Jingzhou, many merchants are using this golden ticket?" Kuai Yue asked his son.
"Yes, several commercial houses are using it, and the Huang family and Liu Pan are also using it!" Kuai Ran responded. "It's not just those merchants, it's also used among ordinary people!"
"The people are also using it?" Kuai Yue seemed to be chasing for a longer time, "How can those people afford it?" ”
"There is another kind of Jiaozi used among the people, father, you see these are these!" As he spoke, Kuai Ran took out a 10,000-dollar handover, which was spent on the Hall of Heroes.
"And a thousand, a hundred!" Kuai Ran also took out the other two. "Father, you want me to give you two?" Kuai Ran is still quite filial.
"Huh!" Kuai Yue waved his hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Jingzhou has already half entered the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" ”
"Huh?" Kuai Ran didn't understand a little, what was called Jingzhou had already fallen into the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Shu.
"Ran'er, you said that if Yangzhou and Jingzhou go to war again, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu stops exchanging my Jiaozi from Jingzhou, what will happen?" Kuai Yue asked his son.
"Stopped Jiaozi's redemption?" Kuai Ran's eyes widened after thinking for a while, so how many people will have to lose a lot.
Take their Kuai family as an example, here is 70,000 gold Jiaozi, in the future, Kuai Ran is also ready to exchange a few months' income for a transaction, the last time to exchange huàn, or not to redeem huàn and other direct business, if Yangzhou stops the exchange of Jiaozi, then these Jiaozi will rot in their hands, become a piece of waste paper, that loss! I'm afraid the whole Jingzhou will have to be counted in millions.
In this way, Jingzhou has lost the possibility of war against Yangzhou, even if Liu Biao wants to fight, the people in Jingzhou over there, up and down to the officials and nobles, down to the ordinary people will not agree.
The loss of them is huge, and you say they will agree. Not to mention whether you can win or not.
"Ahhhh Kuai Ran was also surprised, he didn't expect this sworn brother of his to be like this.
"Ran'er, you've made a good friend!" Kuai Yue was still smiling bitterly just now, but then he was glad again, because His Royal Highness the King of Shu had a good relationship with their Kuai family, and this qiē was brought by his stupid son.
"Looks like we're going to get ready as soon as possible!" Kuai Yue is worthy of being the chief strategist of Jingzhou in the past, and he can find so many things from such a small jiaozi. In the past, the Kuai family didn't want to help, it was precisely because he had no possibility of collaborating with the enemy, so Liu Biao didn't go too far with the Kuai family, but now the Kuai family has to take the initiative.
"Brother, I'm here to talk to my brother this time!" Kuai Liang also said to Kuai Yue.
"Huh?" Kuai Yue raised his eyebrows, because he saw his younger brother looking around, because he was afraid that the wall had ears.
"Stand down, all of you!" Kuai Yue said to the people around him, waiting for those maids and servants to leave almost now, this Kuai Liang stepped forward and said to Kuai Yue.
"Brother, that noble man is about to give birth!"
"Going to give birth?!" Kuai Yue suddenly felt that his brain was not enough, "Wasn't she knocked out?" This is none other than Cai Mao's sister Mrs. Cai, who was imprisoned by Liu Biao because of that incident.
Even Liu Biao, in order to vent his hatred, sent troops to attack Yangzhou, but unfortunately he was defeated, Jiangxia was gone, and he was blackmailed.
Liu Biao was furious, so he naturally wanted to beat the child in the womb and send the abortion pill.
"Brother, you don't know about that abortion pill!" Kuai Liang shook his head, the abortion pill in this era is not the painless abortion of modern times, even if it is a painless abortion now, that thing can kill people.
Abortion in this era, a sturdy woman can die and come back to life, not to mention Mrs. Cai's state at that time, plus the child in the womb has been delayed, relying on abortion pills is useless. Unless there are two lives in one body, this child will inevitably be born.
The cell leader in that prison is also a member of the Kuai family, with the help of the Cai family and the Kuai family, so the abortion pill has long been replaced with a fetal pill.
In this way, today's result is that the noble man is about to be born.
Listening to the words of his second uncle and his father, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly shouted that his stomach hurt, "Ouch, ouch, father, I had a bad stomach at noon, let me go to the toilet, and I will leave by urine!" ”
"Got a bad stomach at noon? I haven't eaten this lunch yet, where did I get a bad stomach! His father immediately debunked Kuaran's little trick.
"Hehe, father, I remembered it wrong, it was morning, I had a bad stomach in the morning!" Kuai Ran was bent on leaving, and sneered. With that, he was ready to leave directly!
"You come back to me!" Kuai Yue shouted for his son, but Kuai Ran was still ready to leave.
"If you walk out of this house, you won't be my Kuai Yue's son!" Kuai Yue was also angry and said to his own son over there.
"Father, don't push me!" Kuai looked at his father in embarrassment, this news must be spread.
"You think I don't know what you're going to do?" Kuai Yue looked at his son with a hatred of iron but not steel, "Your second uncle has said it so bluntly, don't you understand?" Kuai Yue shouted at his son.
"Understood?" Kuo Ran was stunned for a moment.
"Ran'er, come back, your father naturally knows that you are going to sue your brother Liu Mang, right?" Kuai Liang smiled and beckoned to Kuai Ran over there and said.
"Yes!" Kuran nodded.
"Do you think your father doesn't know? Come back! Your father will also inform your brother Liu Mang, but not now! Kuai Liang said to his nephew.
Now the entire Kuai family is still being monitored, if this Kuai Ran goes out and informs it, suddenly the Kuai family will have a big handle in the hands of others, it's not good, Liu Biao is angry, even if the Kuai family can't be extinguished, it will be greatly damaged.
Therefore, it is certain to sue Liu Mang, but it must be done in secret. And even if they don't tell the Kuai family, will Cai Mao and Cai Degui be able to bear it?
"Father, I'm sorry!" He found out that he had wronged his father, and he thought that his father would stop him from contacting his brother.
"Humph!" Kuai Yue snorted coldly, if it was before seeing that Jiaozi, it would be impossible to say that Kuai Yue really wanted to ground Kuai Ran and not let him go out, because this trip to the muddy water is not good, and a careless Kuai family can be planted in it all.
But after seeing that Jiaozi, Kuai Yue's whole mind changed.
The appearance of that Jiaozi, it can be said that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has already controlled half of Jingzhou, at least whether they want to or not, those Jingzhou scholars have been imperceptibly tied to the warships in Yangzhou.
There is still the other half left, that is, waiting for the arrival of the Yangzhou army.
Unless Liu Biao's subordinates can unite as one and resist Yangzhou to the death, otherwise Jingzhou will have no chance of winning, Jingzhou has not been able to fight Yangzhou before, and now Yangzhou has taken Jiangdong.
So he's going to start standing up again.
"Someone!" Kuai Yue shouted, and a dark shadow appeared in front of Kuai Yue, "Let Qingyi bring a letter to His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou, and say that the little prince is in Jingzhou!" ”R1152
