There was so much wine and meat on the table that Liu Bei suspected that even if he called Wu Song to eat together, he might not be able to finish it.

However, he has had a hard life since he was a child and needs help from his relatives. So you can't waste food.

After eating for a while, he waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Er to come over.

Who would have thought that it was Hu Sanniang who came over, only to see the other party glance at the table of wine and meat that hadn't moved much at all. couldn't help frowning and said, "You just eat so much?" ”

"I'm not hungry. Miss Hu! Liu Bei said helplessly: "Settle the score." Pack up whatever you can take with me. I eat at night. ”

"I don't need to." Hu Sanniang said with extreme disdain: "Does Miss Ben lack your three or four taels of silver?" ”

"Oh?" Liu Bei's expression was slightly startled, and he seemed to be extremely surprised by Hu Sanniang's words and said, "Do you really want to?" ”

In the past, Hu Sanniang never gave herself a good face when she saw herself. What's wrong with the other party today? Is it a ghost?

However, Hu Sanniang was not used to Liu Bei, when she felt the other party's questioning eyes. When he said, "That's fine. Fifty taels of gold......"

Liu Bei laughed when he heard this: "Miss Hu, you will be joking!" ”

"Cut." gave Liu Bei a very cute white eye. Hu Sanniang said disdainfully: "Who is kidding you!" Boredom ......"

After speaking. And he left.

Liu Bei was helpless, and returned home with the restaurant's junior two with wine and meat.

In the evening, Wu Song pushed the door and walked in with some curiosity. Looking at the table in front of him, it was obvious that someone had touched the wine and meat. I couldn't help laughing: "Brother." You invite your little brother to eat and drink. Why did you move it first? ”

Liu Bei shook his head and muttered, "Wine and meat that don't cost money, it's a fool not to eat it!" ”

Wu Song laughed. Then he sat down and asked, "By the way, big brother." What do you want me to do? ”

"Nothing. It's to discuss with you about the recruitment of the head of our Qingzhou Mansion! ”

In the barracks today, Sun Li, who stayed behind, reported to Liu Bei the situation of the Qingzhou Army in recent days.

As the team grows stronger, the manpower in the battalion has gradually begun to be somewhat insufficient.

Such as Liu Bei, Sun Li, and Wu Song are not people who are good at training.

So Sun Li proposed to Liu Bei that it was better to recruit Jianghu leaders and order them to share part of the training pressure of the Qingzhou army.

When Liu Bei heard it, it was also the same truth. So he called Wu Song to discuss.

Wu Song drank a glass of wine when he heard this. Touching his chin and thinking, "It's a good idea." But big brother, we don't have a goal at the moment? ”

"Today, I asked Wang Er and Tian Si in the camp. The two of them found a few people for their brothers. Liu Bei opened his mouth and said: "I just don't know if our family's savings can hold up!" ”

The money Liu Bei has accumulated on weekdays, as well as the silver taels obtained from doing business, are not just for leaving the world!

More than eighty percent of the money is needed to support the 5,000 regular soldiers of the Qingzhou Army who have completed their training.

Relying on the original savings of the Qingzhou Mansion alone, how could it be possible to support so many sergeants.

Not to mention that the scale is still increasing.

And for Liu Bei's sake of these soldiers, more than eighty percent of the money to support these soldiers was used to build ordnance and armor.

After all, you have to treat these sergeants equally, and they will die on the battlefield for you!

You can't be like Qingzhou Mansion before, and you can't squeeze the sergeants like anything.

Why did the rabble in Qingfeng Village dare to burn and rob in Qingzhou Mansion before. Otherwise, the rabble of Qingfeng Village can be won by relying on Xiangyong alone.

Isn't it because the local armament in Qingzhou Mansion has rotted to the point?

The armor was covered with rust because it was not well maintained, and it was like the kind of spear that insects had begun to gnaw at to a certain point, and it was impossible to wear a handful to the soldiers.

However, since taking office, Liu Bei has trained the sergeants in an orderly manner. And Murong Yanda was also happy to see all this.

As long as the daily maintenance of the food, grass, armor and weapons of these sergeants does not need to come out of the treasury of Qingzhou Mansion! I couldn't imagine what the consequences of Liu Bei's actions would be.

Now that the army has been expanded to a certain point, it is time to start further improving the subordinate system.

"Don't worry, big brother." Wu Song poured a glass of wine for Liu Bei and himself, and said with a smile: "Now our business is on track. ”

"You don't have to worry about restaurants and inns in Qingzhou and several nearby states, gambling houses and trading companies. In addition, every once in a while, there are also heroes in the rivers and lakes who know that big brother, no matter your identity and background, you can take in anyone who wants to wash your face. Most of them came here, and they still carried money and took the initiative to cling to us! ”

"In addition, there are treasures sent by Chai Daguan and Li Zhuang of Lijiazhuang from time to time. Not counting these existing money, there are enough eighty or ninety thousand! That's enough for us to feed seven or eight hundred sergeants without any problem! ”

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said, "That's good." ”

It's been a long time since he's looked at his family's private accounts. Wu Song simply looked at the account books, so that there was no point where the tail could not be dropped.

"Even so. After a few days, he went out to visit those people in person. Liu Bei said.

Wu Song waved his hand nonchalantly: "Why does the eldest brother have to go to such great lengths. In your name, big brother. Those people are afraid that they will kneel and kowtow if they hear it! ”

This is not that Wu Song said anything too presumptuous. But with Liu Bei's current name, he can really do this.

You must know that he is a guy who is quite famous in the Tao. Who would have thought that in just one year, he would completely wash the bottom and go ashore and become the capital of the Qingzhou Mansion's Soldiers and Horses Command Division.

And it also often accommodates the knights in the rivers and lakes to help them wash their white.

This operation alone is something that no one in the entire world can do.

Otherwise, how could the children of the Song family be so obsessed with Liu Bei. Isn't it easy for Liu Bei to do what he dreamed of?

On the contrary, Liu Bei shook his head when he heard this, and muttered: "Beware of arrogance and rashness, guard against arrogance and rashness." Don't be careless, don't be careless......"

He knows that those who are really capable are very arrogant!

Not to mention anything else, when Kong Ming went out of the mountain to assist him at the age of twenty-seven, if it weren't for his hesitation, he was embarrassed to take advantage of Liu Jingsheng's serious illness to control the situation in Xiangyang by force, the Battle of Chibi would not have happened at all!

And such a strange person, he visited the other party three times before he was willing to see him.

The heavens and the earth are so vast, and there are so many strange people. This is how Liu Bei can not maintain a humble heart to visit others.

If you can't keep your luck, you can be lucky on this trip, but you can meet a master who can stand tall in history like Kong Ming in the future!
