Chapter 52: The Benevolence Says Benevolence (Seeking Collection, Seeking Reading)
"Strange goods?" In the Gongxian post house, Liu Bei shook his head and smiled.
He swept the dust from his knees with his hand, "Although Bei thinks highly of himself, are Li Jun and the old owner a little too high?" Now that I even have to open a wine house, I still have to ask people for help, how can I afford Li Jun's strange goods? ”
Li Ji pushed the wine in his hand forward, "Liu Jundon't dislike the old man's next words are not good." ”
"This drink alone is not enough. Liu Jun's wine is not bad, but at most, it is only between the best and my family's wine. Even if he can be popular here for a while, Liu Jun has a shallow foundation and has been involved for a long time, so he will not be the enemy of my Cheng family. Even if Liu Jun is really allowed to open this wine house, sooner or later it will collapse. ”
Liu Bei smiled: "Bei also has self-knowledge. The Cheng family has been in business for many years, and it is indeed not easy to deal with, but there are still some side means, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer at that time. ”
"Liu Jun is a bright person, so let's talk a lot simpler. Liu Jun's liquor business is a good deal. If you manage it properly, you can naturally make a lot of money. It's just that my Cheng family has a big business, and my owner doesn't care about this money. ”
"The so-called strange goods can be lived, and it is not the value of the things in front of you that is important, and Liu Jun should also understand it. Foresight is the true meaning of the four words of strange goods. ”
"Liu Jun is a member of the Han family, and he is a person who studied with Lu Gong, sooner or later he will embark on a career in office, and it is not difficult to come to the political side in the future. In this world, multiple friends are always better than multiple enemies, Liu Jun, are you right? ”
Liu Bei nodded, squinting his eyes with a smile, "In this way, does Old Master Cheng mean that if I have the opportunity to take care of the Cheng family in the future?" ”
"Did Liu Jun think that my Cheng family would use this to coerce Liu Jun to do something he didn't want to do in the future? Liu Jun was more worried. ”
"If it was a businessman next to me, it might be like this, but my Cheng family has never been like this. If you want to make money, it is enough to rely on today's business. ”
"Over the years, when the owner of my family was the master of the house, he also sponsored many promising young people, and never coerced them to do anything they did not want to do."
Liu Bei smiled: "If that's the case, then Bei is a little puzzled." Although the Cheng family is rich, they will not give their wealth to others in vain, how can businessmen ask for nothing? ”
Li Ji rubbed the wine jar on the table, "Liu Jun is not in a hurry, he naturally has what he wants." Although the Cheng family is rich now, its foundation is still shallow. It is far less than those wealthy families who have been in business for many years. The Cheng family is rich and noble, like a child holding gold in the downtown area. ”
"Now the young owner of the village is in collusion with the eunuchs in the court. But the greed of eunuchs is known to the whole world. Cooperating with it is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, and I don't know when I will hurt my own family. ”
"So it's not difficult for my Cheng family to ask Liu Jun to do anything. In the future, if my Cheng family encounters the disaster of annihilation, if Liu Jun is powerful, I hope that Liu Jun can help and protect the life of my young owner. ”
Liu Bei was silent for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world." ”
Li Ji drank all the wine in front of him, he had already finished saying what he had to say, and now how to choose is up to Liu Bei himself.
Over the years, they have not met young people who flatly refused.
Read the books of the sages, follow the path of the master, and want to find a right way to go straight, not with the times.
It's just that most of those extremely talented but inflexible young people died in officialdom.
Although he saved a lot of money for their Cheng family, he still felt sorry for those young people.
Those young people shouldn't have died like that.
"Naturally, I have to agree, where will anyone let go of the money sent to the door." Liu Bei said with a smile.
Li Ji also nodded, "I have an intuition when I see Old Man Liu Jun today. Just as when I first met my family, I knew that he was very human. Liu Jun, you will go far in the future. ”
Liu Bei picked up the wine jar in his hand and touched it with the old man, "Then borrow Li Laojiyan." ”
-------------------------------------
Li Ji said goodbye and left, and Liu Bei drank himself in the post house.
The night was dark, and the whole courtyard seemed to be immersed in a thin thick fog.
Guan Yu entered from the outside, did not speak, but stood silently behind Liu Bei.
Only then did Liu Bei retract his mind.
He informed Guan Yu of Li Ji's visit today.
Guan Yu opened his mouth and said: "In this way, there is no need to worry about the money for opening a wine house. It's just that we can't join forces with the Cheng family, so we're just afraid that we'll have to find another place to open a restaurant. ”
Liu Bei shook his head, "I told you when I came to Gong County, in fact, I was already prepared to open a wine house in Gong County. ”
He suddenly changed his words, "Yun Chang, I have asked you to inquire about the news." ”
Guan Yu nodded, "I've already inquired clearly, and after Xu San went back, he began to secretly recruit the ranger scoundrels who had been attracted in the county over the years, and gathered at his house, thinking that he was coming to seek revenge on us." ”
Standing up and stretching, Liu Bei just smiled, "That's it, now you should know why I'm not in a hurry to return to the Wu Clan." ”
They stayed here to get rid of this man.
Don't take evil as small, don't take good as small.
This sentence can also be thought of backwards.
The enemy around you, even if it is a small person, should not be let go easily.
The villain's shot is the most vicious.
"Since the eldest brother has already prepared to get rid of this person, why not do it while he has not gathered manpower? Although it is not difficult to deal with this person now, it will take a little more effort after all. Guan Yu was puzzled.
Liu Bei pointed to the night not far away, "That Xu San is like a candle flame, and a group of flies are flying on his side." Let's get rid of Xu Sanyi, and we can extinguish his faint light between our hands. But what about the mosquitoes and flies around him? ”
"There has never been a thousand days of anti-thief in this world." Liu Bei pointed at Guan Yu, "Even if you Guan Yunchang is brave and unparalleled, how many knives can you withstand the blade in the dark?" ”
In the future, Sun Ce will not die because of this.
Guan Yu was thoughtful.
Liu Bei continued: "A few days ago, I had already found someone to send a letter back to Zhuo County, asking Shiren to come to Luoyang. Shiren has been friends with you and me for a long time. ”
Liu Bei's expression suddenly changed, and he was quite solemn, "Yun Chang, let me ask today, if Shiren commits a big mistake of killing his head in the future, and the power of life and death is yours, what should you do?" ”
Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, obviously never expecting Liu Bei to ask like this.
Shiren has been with them for a long time, and he has always been cautious and has never made a mistake.
Guan Yu was silent for a moment, "When you reprimand him harshly, save his life." ”
Liu Bei didn't comment, but asked with a smile: "Yun Chang, do you know what benevolence is?" ”
He asked and answered, "The so-called benevolence is to save those who should be saved, but also to kill those who should be killed." To be soft on the wicked is the greatest mockery of benevolence. ”
